LONDON, FRIDAY, JULY 1L Tait news which the mail steamer Etna has brought from America is the most interesting and important of any which has reached us for a con siderable time. The two principal armies in the field have been in close and protracted conflict ; the defence of Richmond has been turned into an attack ; and the Fedora,* after a period of uni form and great success, have suffered a serious reverse. So much, we think, is clear from intelligence, which leaves much to be desired in respect of completeness. As it is not to be sup posed that the Northerners exaggerate their own disasters, we are compelled to suppose that General M'Ci.zLw has been obliged to retreat after • severe battle. It will be remembered that the mass of the Federal army had crossed the Chickahominy, which flows round the north and east of the city of Richmond, and had advanced within a few miles of the capital. The extent of country occupied by the Federal army was considerable, and although the numbers of that army are uncertain, still it may be seriously doubted whether it was suf ficiently concentrated. Certain it is that M'CLELLAN has never ceased to proclaim that he was outnumbered, and has continually demanded reinforcements. Only a very short time has elapsed since he has been joined by the corps of Id'Downa.. On the other hand, it appears that the Confederates have of late been strongly rein forced. Their determination seems to have been to sacrifice everything in order to bold Richmond. It has been said that BLAIIMOARD had joined the army in Virginia ; nor is it improbable that many of the troops who were under that General at Corinth have been brought eastward to defend the lines at Richmond. The position occupied by the Confederates plainly pointed out their plan of operations. They were in an entrenched camp and occupied the centre, whilst the army of attack occupied part of the circumference of the circle. The Confe derates, therefore, had the power of falling with overwhelming force upon any portion of the force opposed to them—and this was in fact the tactic pursued. It seems that on the 26th or 27th of June STONEWALL JACINON, who had lately showed such energy in the valley of the Shenandoah, attacked the right wing of M'CLau...tw, which was placed so as to cover the railway which runs be- THE tween Richmond and West Pink on the York River. It is said that the fight* lasted two days. But the 'Northern fight* counts admit that after a severe struggle the right wing of the Fedoras was compelled to retire behind the left wing. The Federal army, in fact, has now abandoned its communica tions with West Point and the York River, and has retired across the Chickahominy south-east ward toward the James River. The reasons for adopting this course are obvious. Had the Fede ralists retired eastward by the railway they would have had both their flanks exposed ; but now they have not only the broader part of the Chickahominy between them and the enemy, but one of their flanks will be protected by the James River and the gunboats. The whole country north of Richmond, as far as Fredericksburg, must be in the hands of the Confederates, and the Pa munkey must be restored to the forces of the Con federates. Nor is it clear that the victorious army of the South will rest satisfied with the defeat which they have inflicted. On the contrary, it is their duty to renew the attack as soon as possible, and• to press upon the retiring troops of M'Cr.slarrt with the utmost vigour. It does not appear whether the Federal. have prepared any position to which they can retreat, but it is obvious that unless they can make a stand they may be very seriously harassed by the Confederates, and especially by their powerful cavalry. The swampy banks of the Chickahominy would, no doubt, cause much sickness, and if, in addition to this, allowance be made for the fact the., there is no railway to aid the Federalists in the line of retreat which they have chosen, it is not to be denied that their friends have much ground for anxiety. At the same timo it is to be remem bered that with the James River completely in their power they have a means of rapid reinforce• ment to an indefinite extent. We cannot profess to be greatly surprised at this disaster. We have for some time looked in vain for any Federal preparations in Virginia oor responding to the change of the general military situation which has been taking place for the last three or four months. The dispersion of a large portion of the Federal army in expeditions and garrisons, simultaneous with the concentration of the Confederate army through the abandonment of a large number of its positions, con stituted a new relation between the two col lective forces, the importance of which, it seems to us, has not been appreciated at Waiffiington. It ought to have been dearly perceived that every Federal snows& in the outlying portions of the scene of war would tend to increase the difficulties of General WCtsz.nair, who should have been reinforced accordingly. This was not done, and a reverse is the natural consequence. Serious as this reverse of the Federal" un doubtedly is, it would be a . great mistake to see in it any decisive character. The people of the North will be surprised, and possibly for the moment alarmed, at the defeat of the most numerous of their armies. But we do not expect that they will lose in a moment that proud consciousness of immensely superior strength which they have acquired by experience, and which they see re flected in the opinion of the world. They will more probably ascribe their disasters to a misapplication of the resources they have placed at the disposal of the Government, and while increasing those re sources from their boundless store will take pre cautions for their better employment. Hitherto checks have only provoked them to mightier exertions ; and, without paradox, at the very moment when their largest army has suffered • reverse, the North knows itself stronger as the South knows itself weaker than at any previous stage of the war. While, therefore, we recognize the importance of the Confederate success, we see in it an event which is likely to draw out rather than shorten the war; for whether we suppose the North to be fighting to restore the Union to its former territorial integrity, or simply, as some advise, for • frontier, it is certain that its citizens cannot afford to retire from the contest until they have conclusively established their superiority. AN invitation was last week addressed by 167 members of both aides of the House of Commons to M. Rollins, the French Minister of Com merce, then on a visit to London, to a banquet in honour of his eminent services to the cause of Free Trade. On receipt of this invitation M. ROCNER returned to Paris, and, with the full approbation of the Emperor of the Fitarica, has now formally accepted it. The entertainment will take place at Willis's Rooms, on the 16th instant, Mr. MHz= Gissozi, as President of the Board of Trade, presiding. Places have been re• served on this interesting occasion for the Presi dents of the various Chambers of Commerce of the United Kingdom. gbe qroun. OSBORNE, Jou 10.

The St. Petersburg journals of the sth publish the following despatch from hie imperial highness to the Emperor, and written immediately after the attempt on his life : At ball-past 9, on leaving the theatre, jut as I was step ping into a carriage, I saw a man advancing towards me who seemed to have a petition to present. But all at once he fired a pistol point blank at me. God preserved me. The ball penetrated the paletot, coat, and shirt, and only stopped after having graced the clavicle. I feel quite well, and ex perience but a alight pain, caused by the contusion. Accounta from Warsaw of the same date report that the jaw of General Laden; was broken, and that an operation was necessary. Dr. Langenbeck has been summoned by telegraph to perform the operation. EXPRESS, FRIDAY 44IVENING, JULY 11; MI RUSSIA.

His Majesty, in reply to the address of the Mayor, said that he intended to create a great military establishment at Bourges, which, on account of its central position, would increase the defensive forces of France. Replying to the Archbishop of Bounces, the Emperor thanked him for his proofs of devotion, and added that, in the presence of injustice and excitement, be would remain immovable in the line of policy which he had followed, and, while maintaining intact sovereign rights, he would seize every occasion for expressing his respect for religion, SPAIN. MADRID, JULY 10. According to news received here from the city of Mexico, and published by the Madrid papers, a pro visional government was established there on the 15th ult., composed of five leading citizens, who are charged to arrange general elections with a view of establishing a monarchy under the protection of Europe. It was the disagreement of M. Mon with the policy pursued by General Prim at Orizaba which led to the resignation by the former of the presi dency of the Chamber of Representatives. MONTENEGRO.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRIMPONDINT.) PARIS, THURSDAY Evisma. The Moniteur of to-day says :—" The recog nition of the Kingdom of Italy by Russia is an accomplished fact. The Emperor's government has undertaken to make known to the cabinet of Turin that the Emperor Alexander is ready to receive an envoy from the King of Italy, and thus to re-establish diplomatic relations between the two courts." The state trial is making but slow progress. The examination of the 54 prisoners is not yet over. As the case goes on the pitiful and ridiculous nature of it becomes more and more apparent. There is not the least doubt that a great many of the prisoners are republicans and enemies of the present government, and many of them admit, in substance, that they used many of the seditious expressions deposed to by the spies. But these admissions fall far short of supporting the indict ment. The French law, notwithstanding the many subtle traps laid for political opponents in 1851, is after all more difficult for a public prosecutor to manipulate than many people may suppose. The principle that treasonable thoughts and expres sions are not punishable unless manifested by overt acts, is quite recognised by the French courts. There are, it is true, special re pressive enactments against seditious expressions in califs and other public places, but these do not meet the case, because the prisoners are accused of seditious conversation in private houses. The weakness of the charge is proved by the fact that after endeavours extending over many months (during the whole of which time the accused have been kept in prison) to make out the original case of a plot against the state that head of the accusa tion is abandoned. All that is now alleged against the prisoners is that they are members of a secret society. If they are to be found guilty there is scarcely any known opponent of government, whether Legitimist, Orleanist, or Republican, who may not be convicted whenever the government pleases on a similar charge. Everybody acquainted with Paris society knows that the violent language against the government, the expressions of a hope that the dynasty will soon be overthrown, which some of these prisoners are proved to have used, do not differ a whit from what is said every day in many drawing-rooms of the Faubourg St. Germain, and in many workshops of the Faubourg St. Antoine. Men who occupy themselves with politics naturally seek the society of those who think with them, and they do this the more when the laws on the press make it hazardous for public opinion to find its way into print. The government knows its enemies, and can guess what they say among them selves. But it is a mockery of justice to treat as members of secret societies, upon the evidence of paid spies, men who merely talk politics, however hostile, in their own houses. M. Albert, known as " Albert Ouvrier," of the provisional government, but whose surname is Martin, gave evidence that he was once at a family dinner at Greppo'a house, when the prisoner Ves sel came in, talked wildly on politics, attacked the provisional government, and was called to order by Greppo, who knew very little of him, and oer tainly did not appear to belong to any society of which he was a member. The Patrie, whose credit, however, is now at a very low ebb, harks back upon the Mexican ques tion, and pretends that whatever happens France will never treat with Juarez, and will go to the ballot-box as soon as Mexico is taken. This is a direct contradiction of the late article of the Con stitutionnel, in the sense in which it was understood by all Europe. The Constitutionne/ said that the withdrawal from the contest of Spain and England "evidently modified the attitude of France," and that she now had in view only two objects—first, to avenge the check received by her flag ; and second, to obtain compensation for aggrieved French subjects. If the Patois is now right, the article of the Constitutionnel meant nothing. Will the latter journal admit this 1 The old soldier Dulesu, deputy mayor of Vioq (Nord), has been made a Knight of the Legion of Honour, as a reward for his testimony, in oppo sition to Victor Hugo, Count Michel, and a mass of historical evidence, that General Cambronne really used at Waterloo the words, "La Garde meurt et ne se rend pas." ITALY. (nom oua owa TURIN, JOLT 7. Yesterday there appeared in Paquin, the Punch of Turin, a notice requesting that if anybody had chanced to find one Labanof lost upon the road, he would be good enough to deliver him at the office of one or other of the ministerial journals. These prints had in the exams of their seal actually an nounced the arrival of Prince Labaziof, with the recognition of the Kingdom of Italy and now, after the lapse of five or six days, the Prinoe is not yet come. Meanwhile ministers are vehemently blamed by the opposition for having closed the Polish school at C u neo, at the request of Russia, and Rattazzi is especially condemned for the letter he addressed to the director of the school, in which he confesses this act of weakness, and calls it a diplomatic necessity. I must, however, confess that there is less sympathy in Italy for the Poles than for the Hungarians, because Poland let peas the portentous movement of 1848 without giving , any signs of life. If, whilst Central Europe was in flames, she, too, bad bestirred herself, she would perhaps have saved herself and Hungary, and en sured the freedom of the other nations. Further more, the recent murderous attempts in Warsaw are not of a nature to increase the sympathy felt for Poland. I cannot deny, however, that the conduct of the Poles who have taken refuge in Piedmont has been honourable, and there is in this far reach ing persecution by the Russian government some thing that renders the latter odious, and exalts its victims in public opinion. Rattaizi's letter to Wysocki is therefore generally regarded as an act not very worthy of a statesman. With respect to Prince Lebanon; retarded arrival, it appears that an envoy must first be sent from Italy to St. Petersburg, to fulfil the formality of announcing to the Czar that King Victor Emmanuel has assumed for himself and his descendants the title of King of Italy. It is said that one of our most illustrious generals, Enrico Cialdini, will be chosen for that office. He accompanied the Em press Mother to Civita Vecchia when she came to Italy for the benefit of her health, and he has many friends in Russia. The news we receive from the south is all of the same tenor—brigands molesting the inhabitants, troops pursuing the brigands, and killing a good many of them, arc. Meanwhile, the princes and Garibaldi are receiving continual ovations in Sicily. The presence of the three at rifle practice is a sight to fire the ardent imaginations of the Sicilians. They were delighted to see Prince Humbert tire the first shot and hit the centre, and then to see Prince Amadeus surpass even General Garibaldi, and lodge his ball almost in the same spot where his brother's had struck, while neither shot was equalled by any of the marksmen that followed. From the superior skill displayed by the princes in these minor trials of their warlike ability, the people readily augur that they will have in them trustworthy defenders and valiant leaders in the day of battle. The Bourbons lacked this prestige, and therefore King and generals were abandoned by all. The fashionable Paris journal Le Sport mourns over the death of Due Peaquier aa an irretrievable loss to the lovers of good dinners. He was remarkable for his hoe pliably, and was particularly fond of having at his table three times in each week members of the Aoadi'mie Frei:p lebe, and was known aa "la fourchette d'or." His dinners were remarkable for their taste. He was fond of good living, and attributed his long life to his alimentation. He looked upon the digestion as the centre of all the affections, feel ings, end ideas. He presided over the organisation of his kitchen himself, leaving the manipulation to a female. His excellent dinners were said to have had much influence during his ministry. The library of the American Bible Union in New York is one of the finest religious libraries in the world. Amongst the choice treasures which it contains are—a Jac aisiik of au old Sciatic mammas:Opt of the NewTeetament,callad " Evangelia Sacra &lark ;" a Bible in the Lower Saxon language, of the date of 1480, half a century before the pub lication of Luther's Bible ; a Bible of 1473, called "Gunther Earners," Augsburg *dittos ; a photograph copy of the " Codex Senacticus," discovered by ruichendorf in the St. Catherine Monastery on Mount Sinai.; and a copy of the " Codex Ephrnmi Syri Raeriptua," of the fifteenth cen tury. It was written at Alexandria, sod carried to Con stantinople. In the 11th or 12th century the writing was erased, and the pages covered with the writings of Ephraim, a monk. On the fall of the Byzantine empire the document was carried to Florence, and became the property of Oaths rice de Medici*; it afterwards found its way to the Royal Library of Paris. At the cod of the sixteenth century the original writing began to make its appearance, and in 1835 a chemical preparation obliterated Ephraim 's writings, and the original writing, which turned out to be the New Testament history, was restored. Under the reciprocity treaty between the United States and British North America, the latter exported to the former to the amount of upwards of four millions ster in 1861. Amesg these exports were animals of 1,746,000 dollen value, fish of 1,382.000 dollars, flour sad bread stuffs 3,000,000 dollars, grain 6,500,000 dollars, and timber 3,280,000 dollars. There was a falling off in the ex ports as compared with former years in fi sh, furs, fruits, bides, and wool, and an increase in animals, Wog bark, butt erber. , chaos, aid, egr, flax, liar, ma, ma* oats, and tim STATE CEREMONIAL OF THE DECLARATION OF PRIZES TO EXHIBITORS.-(THIS DAY.) The declaration of the awards of the juries wee midi today at a state ceremony by an international repro' mutative body of royal and distinguished personalist specially named by the various nations which have taken part in the Exhibition. The Queen named his Royal Highness the Duke of Oambridge, K.G., as her ➢fajesty's representative to receive and distribute the awards to com mittees representing the exhibitors of the United Kingdom and to the commissioners of the 00i01111111 and dependencies. The special representatives of foreign countries received and distributed the awards to the foreign commissioners. The various ceremonies took place in the Exhibition buildings and in the Horticultural Gardena, which were made part of the Exhibition for this day. The scene wan one of great brilliancy, and fully realised all that had been anticipated by those who were entrusted with the arr►ngements. The weather wee favour able. Up to about half-put twelve, the sky owe. timidly assumed a threatening aspect, and many an eye was directed upward as if with beseeching deprecation ; but by one o'clock the doubtful question was settled ; the weather then became quite propitious, the sun shining brightly on the spectacle. _ . The programme of the proceedings had been so arranged that if the weather proved unfavourable the open air part of the ceremony would have been curtailed, but happily this was not necessery. As to the number present, it is impossible to give even anything like an ap approximate estimate. The gardens, however,werethrormed with spectators, and as the building itself wore in the centre at least, including the galleries, a more crowded appearance than it had done on any shilling day, the lowest conjecture fixed the numbers at upwards of 50,01 e, and many who were well acquainted with the place thought there were at least 100,000. The carriage and cab traffic was enormous enough to sup port the more sanguine estimate. About noon the avenue. leading to the building were all thronged with vehicles, and the impedimenta to progress seemed to exceed those of the Ist of Hay. The attendance of ladies was at least equal to that of gentlemen, and their gay dresses added greatly to the charming aspect of the padres, where the fountains were playing vigorously, the parterres looked their beat, and a gigantic throne, erected for his royal highness the Doke of Cambridge towered aloft on the sorthern side of the entdestue.

Here they met the international reprematativea, her Ma jesty's ministers, the commissioners for 1851, the eons. mitts of the Horticultural Society, and other bodies- Foal Granville delivered • short address of welcome to the international representatives, and explained the objects of the ceremony, after which Lord Taunton, the chairman of the council of chairmen of jurors, presented the following report : "The work of the several juries having bees brought to • termination, it hemmer the duty of the council of chairmen to explain the manner iu which the juries were constituted and the result of their labours. "The juries consist of English and foreign members in varying proportions. The English jurors were in the bon place nominated by exhibitors, and them nominations having been carefully considered, her Majesty's Commis sioners invariably appointed such persons as appeared to be named by the general egaismeot of • trade, or district. In eases where the nominations were not nude on a , undentanding, the royal commissioners were guided i• choice by the number of votes given to particular in. duals, and, in some instances, by the desire expresaol exhibitors that the commissioners should thernselrea persons possessing the neoessary qualifications. "The British colonies were represented by jurors rec,m, mended by the several colonial commissioners. "Foreign nations taking part in the Exhibition had right to nominate one juror for every class in whicl., th, were represented by 20 exhibitors, and for every sects?, a class in which they bad 15 exhibitors. As an alteruath each nation had a certain number of jurors allotted to in proportion to the space which it oczupied in the boil and several countries accepted this alternative. H. jesty's oommissionen, without fixing any arbitrary p, tine between foreign and English jurors, appointed . , of the latter to each jury aa the experience of past ezhi• bitlons showed to be necessary for its efficiency. "The juries were 65 in number, grouped so as to form classes or head juries corresponding to the 36 inlinitri, chases under which the objects are arranged in the two. Each of these head juries, when subdivided into • time, acted as a united body for the confirmation of ow Before, however, theee awards were considered final were brought before and evolved the sanction of aoc consisting of the chairmen of the 36 head juries. The,. men forming the council which regulated the affairs of juries were nominated by her Majesty's Commissioners the jurors of different nations, a number being "Mott each country relatively to the space assigned to it in building. The council was presided over by • -' appointed by her Majesty's Commissioners. " Her Majesty's Commissioners decided that only description of medal should be awarded by the juries. decision considerably facilitated their labours, as it secessary only to reward excellence wherever it was , without reference to competition between exhibitors. the work of the juries advanced, it was ascertained many articles possessed excellence of • kind which dome a special mention, without, however, entitling them medal ; and, elthongli it involved some departure principle that had been originally laid down, yet of chairmen acceded to the wish of the juries, aai such came to be classed and published under honourable mentions.' " The jurors and their associates engaged la the object. of the exhibition amounted to 615 persons, whom 287 were foreigners, and VA English. They sir of high social, scientific, sad industrial position, dm nearly 'nay civilised country in the world. Their have occupied two mouths, and have been of arduous description, as they had to examine • displayed by at brat 25,000 exhibitors. It can . expected that none of the articles exhibited have their attention. Ina few instances the delay of w of arrangement ha. rendered it impossible for the, examine every article now within the building; other cases, errors in claasification have rendered it tel to which of the juries the duty of examining tieulaz object should fall. Every effort, bower's., made to conquer these obstacles, and the omissions, if must be very few in number, and are not owing to v of attention of the juries or of the officers engaged. toting their work. "The number of medals voted by the juries moats warty 7,000, and the ' honourable mention.' to about 5,3 The proportion of awards to exhibitors is greater than the international Exhibition of 1851, but less than it of 1855. " —...rasstandine the varied nationalities In the juries, it is gratifying to record that the n. Remy baa prevailed daring the whole time that the lave bees associated in their labours. The mutual d, dams sad intimate alliance between the industries of the world have been illustrated by the melons and impartial alerts of the jurors of different nations to reoogeise and reward the merit displayed in the exhibitions of their in• &Istria! competitors. "We are glad to observe that the state of industry, dews in the International Exhibition, gives evidence of a siegubzly active and healthy progress throughout the dr , Bead world ; for while we find every nation searching view raw materials, or utilising products hitherto col dared as waste, we are struck especially with the vast i provement in the machinery employed to adapt them Industrial purposes, as well r with the applications ▪ ►nd with the great and successful attention v is sow given to all the arts neesmary to gratify our and sense of beauty. We cannot conclude this report without obligations to Dr. Lyon Playfair, the special oe. toe juries, for the constant end intelligent assistance be has rendered to us throughout our labours, as well the deputyoommiasioners and secretary, who have A tinder his direction, and have afforded efficient aid to several juries during their inquiries.
