THE INTERNATIONAL =BIB ITION.- The ticket-holders on Saturday last formed one third of the visitors, and the numbers paying were equivalent to a shilling audience of about 25,000, whereas if it had been a shilling day, there is little doubt but that, with the half-holiday system, now so general, the numbers would have ap proached, or perhaps passed, 60,000, to the manifest advantage of the revenue as well as to the con venience of thousands of the public who cannot make time to go on any other day. The attendance looked unusually spare, there being not the slightest symptom of a crowd anywhere except in front of the Koh-i-noor. _ _ The sustained attraction of this wonderful gem is one of the most remarkable features in the Exhi bition. Twelve years ago it was first introduced to • British public iu Hyde-park, and ever since it has been open to their inspection along with the other crown jewels in the Tower ;but still, from the moment it was first set upon its stand at South Kensington, its attraction has seemed to increase every day. On shilling days there is always a considerable crowd about the entrances as the hour of ten a.m. approaches, and the moment the doors are opened, the people makedirect for the Koh-i-noor, as if there was nothing else to be seen iu the Exhibition. It is the same on the fashionable days, and all classes, high and low, linger before it as long as the police- I man will permit, as if fascinated by its marvellous brilliancy. The interest has perhaps been intensified within the last few days, iu consequence of a rumour which was industriously circulated, that like " The Star of the South" it had been removed from the Exhibition. The fact is that it was taken away on Saturday week, but it was returned to its place on the following Monday, and the public may rest satisfied that their favourite will remain faithful to the end. We have been informed that the warders at the Tower tell the country people that they have the real Koh-i-noor, and that the one at Kensington is only an imitation ; but a single glance at the latter will be quite sufficient to convince the spectator that it would be impossible to imitate it, and that there is nothing like it in the world. A plan has been arranged for sending the veterans of Chelsea and Greenwich to see the Exhibition in detachments, and on Friday and Saturday between two and three hundred of the former completed a very satisfactory inspection. To-day the Commis sioners meet to settle the closing question, with every disposition to meet the wishes of the public, and to hold the guarantors harmless. We believe that, notwithstanding certain statements which have appeared in print to the contrary, the great diffi culty lies with Messrs. Kelk and Lucas,who, relying on the ambiguity of their contract, are driving as hard a bargain as possible. We have heard that, having ascertained that the probable sum expected from keeping the Exhibition open a few weeks longer was 60,0001., they at once demanded 40,0001. as the condition of their consent, they having, it will be remembered, already received 200,0001., with nearly another 100,0001. for extras, and being entitled to dispose of the building at the termination of the season. The Commissioners will hardly, however, keep the building open merely to put money into the pockets of the already so liberally paid contractors ; and the taking of it down need hardly be looked upon as a heavy national calamity, seeing that already it shows in various places a disposition to come down of itself, that portion which is devoted to the officers of the staff especially displaying several craclui of rather ominous dimensions. It would, we have been informed, require a very large addi tional outlay to adapt it for the purposes of ally permanent institution. The highest temperature oniSaturday, as shown by Negretti and Umbra's patent thermometers, was :—ln the nave, 66.4 deg. ; in the galleries, 67.3 deg. ; in the western annex, 72.1 deg. The read ing was taken at 3 o'clock p.m. LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 15, lb62. AMERICA. (now ous owx BOSTON, San. 1. The recent sanguinary battles are rapidly preci pitating events. An observer must be devoid of sensibility and dead to the great struggles of humanity who can gaze on the scenes here before his own eyes with indifference. Issues are involved in this controversy so far-reaching and important that even an Englishman cannot be indifferent : how much more must this be true of those who are parties in the strife. Yesterday the community awakened to a full perception of the fact that it was engaged in an actual and bloody war. On Saturday evening it was known that there bad been incessant y fighting for two days. In the meagreness of intelligence there was rea son for solicitude. It was certain that both armies had suffered severely, so when early on the Sabbath it was spread abroad that the government had made a sudden all for surgeons, nurses, and hospital stores, the city at once was all a-stir. Entire con gregations of worshippers arose as one man and left the sanctuag to engage in the work of mercy. More than a thousand women, as by magic, were busy at Freniont Temple in making bandages and preparing lint. As soon as it was known that this place was engaged for the reception of hospital stores there was a continuous procession of persons with all the necessary supplies for the wounded. The stream continued to pour in without cessation until dark. In front of the express offices waggon after waggon was loaded with boxes which had been promptly packed and labelled, and driven with all possible speed to the railway, so that in the Sunday evening train one hundred tons of hospital stores were on the way to Washington. In New York and Phila delphia the excitement was even greater than in Boston, and to-day throughout New England women and children in the farm houses are turning their old cotton into bandages, and their cast-off linen into lint. All through Sunday the entrances of the telegraph and printing offices were 'thronged by multitudes eager for intelligence from Wash ington. The telegrams came in morsels, but the crumbs from the War Department were eagerly de voured. At the time of writing we have only im perfect and unreliable data from which to draw conclusions. But while the community is in the whirl of excitement, I will try to gather up a few of the leading events and to interpret their mean ing. Let as take for our starting-point the move ment of the rebels on Manassas. This was on Tuesday evening of last week. Instead of a raid, it proved to be the advance of Jackson's entire army. On Wednesday the fact was known by Pope, who also learned that the division be had ordered two days before to Marimbas was not there. At once he broke camp and rapidly marched his army in three culumns from Warrenton and Warrenton Junction to meet the enemy. At Kettle Run Hooker's divi sion came up with the rebel General Ewell, and after a brief contest drove him back. The next day (Thursday) hi`Dowell and Sigel came up in the afternoon with the enemy, and engaged in battle until dark, without any important results on either side. But the stern realities of war commenced on Friday at sun rise, and continued without cessation until dark. The Federals in every ease were the attacking party. General Pope calls this " a terrific battle," and says that at dark he occupied the ground and drove the enemy from the field, but that his forces were too exhausted to pursue the foe. hl'Dowell, Heintzelman, and Sigel's corps were engaged with the enemy, estimated at from 50,000 to 60,000. The scene of this battle was a few miles north-west of the site of the old Bull Run fight, and this served to excite both sides with additional earnest ness. M'Dowell claims that the Federal forces gained a decisive victory. But during the night the rebels, instead of retreating, brought up large reinforcements. It is stated that the entire rebel army, under Lee, bad joined them. So on Satur day the Confederates, with superior numbers, at tacked Pope, and the battle raged even fiercer than the day before. As Franklin and Sumner's corps, whisk were the last to leave the pen insula, had not yet joined the Federal army, Pope, at the close of the day, was obliged to fall back on Centreville. From the meagre and confused accounts received of the two days' fight, it would seem that on Friday the Federals got the advantage, while on Saturday the fortune of war inclined in favour of the rebels. Thus matters rested on Sunday. The loss on both sides must have been fearful, as Pope telegraphed at the close of Friday's battle that his killed and wounded numbered eight thousand, while he judged from the dead on the ground that of his enemy was double. The position of the Federals is said to be very strong, and the army has received powerful reinforcements, including Franklin's and Sumner's corps. It will be seen from this that the result of the fighting up to this time is in no way decisive, and it is evident the great battle of the campaign is yet to be fought. Lee and Jackson have now doubtless concentrated their entire avail able force. They are some distance from their base of supplies, and must rely on what numbers they already have. The Federal., on the other hand, have powerful reserves. Burnside was at Frede ricksburg, and, if need be, can, by forced marches, be hurried up. The greater part of Keye's corps could in two or three days be transported from the peninsula. Large bodies of troops are at the Relay House or on the Upper Potomac, besides the troops I.l 4 Clellan has near Washington. How far it will be advisable to concentrate these various forces General Halleck can determine ; the fact that he can use them if the emergency demands will put the reader in possession of the situation of affairs. The combatants are, as soldiers, so nearly a match for each other, that success will depend on the skill and superiority of numbers which either party can bring into the field in the time of actual battle. On Sunday there was little or no fighting. Probably neither aide were in a condition to resume the strife. Unless Lee and Jackson change their position, either by falling hack or attempting some new manoeuvre, fighting will soon be resumed. What bearing have these events on the present campaign 1 To answer this we must go back a little. When General Hailed assumed the chief command, he had &difficult problem to solve. What was he to do with the army at Harrison Landing 1 It was not sufficiently strong to advance. To attempt evacua tion with the view of beginning a new campaign was extremely hazardous. To remain idle on the banks of the James, with the danger of having its communisations cut off or tied up there by &small force —to leave the main Confederate army free to march oa Washington—these were the three alternatives TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE.

The papers of to-day deny the correctness of the rumour that General Cialdini, having been called upon by the Ministry to give his opinion respecting the propriety of granting an amnesty to Garibaldi and his followers, had returned a favour►ble reply. The General is said to have advised that the trial should be proceeded with, considering that an amnesty would afford a bad precedent with regard to military discipline. PRUSSIA. BERLIN, 13Err. 14. The semi-official Neue Preueeische (Stern) Zeitung of to-day discusses Friday's debate in the Chamber of Deputies upon the military budget. The article commenting upon the speeches of Herren von Patow and von Vincke bases thereon a hope, strengthened by several incidents of the debate, that the voice of moderation and reflection has not been raised in vain in the house: The Stern Zeitung adds, "that poeeibly even at a late period of the debate the opinions of the chamber, especially in reference to the military budget of 1882, may be so changed ea to keep m view not only the arguments an favour of the ancient organization of the army, but also the facts of recent date, by which those arguments have been enfeebled."

But @honk' the enemy know it, would he not fall upon the retreat ing forces and cut them up ? Or on the other Lend, while they were 'teeming to the Potomac, would not Lee and Jaclow; annihilate Pope? It soon became evident to the military authorities at Washington that Lee ..d Jackson, while occupying the attention of M'Clellan, were in fact preparing for an onward movement to the Potomac. To accomplish this it was ne,...emry to dispose of Pope. Whether they suspected the Federal evacuation at the tune their plans were arranged it is not easy to say ; but their movements make it probable they counted upon keeping M'Clellan cooped up on the banks of James River. Thus the game was being played on the military chess-board. As Pope assumed com mand, Jackson was to work along up the Shenan doah valley, and fall upon the Federal right wing or rear, whilst Lee engaged him in front. Pope, on the other band, was to draw off the attention of the Confederate army whilst )I'Clellan cut himself loam from the Peninsula. _ To carry out this Richmond programme Jackson, with a fame estimated at 33,000, turned his face northward. Zither Los crept along too slowly or Pope was too swift of foist, for before the main rebel column reached Gordonsville Pope had pushed his forces far enough into Virginia to endanger this place, and thus cut off Jackson's communication and supplies. This oompelled Jackson to change his plan, and be marched to Cedar Mountain with the hope of cutting off Banks. After the battle here he remained about two days. Lee had by this time reached Gordonsville, and pushing north the next move was to catch Pope between the Rapi dan and the Rappahannock. This was foiled by the recrossing of the Federal army and the occupa tion of the north bank of the latter river. Nothing daunted, the energetic rebel general marched towards the head waters of the Rappahannock, and threw his whole force across ; but the rapid rise of the streams in consequence of the rains, and the vigilant eye of Sigel, who guarded the rear, while Pops with his main force fell beck ten miles, frustrated this scheme. Then Jackson bethought him of reaching Manassas by forced marches through Thoroughfare Gap, with the design of ' cutting off Pope's communications with Washing ton, while Lee would fall upon him, and thus by a combined attack deal the fatal blow. In the mean time Pope, who was at Warrenton and Warren ton Junction, upon learning that the division which he had two days before ordered to Manassas j failed to reach that place, at once, as we have seen, marched upon the foe. On Tuesday night and Wednesday morning Jackson was between him and Washington ; on Friday Pope is in the rear of his foe and in communication with Halleck and the reserves of the Potomac. Such is a brief and com prehensive survey of the campaign since Halle.* took command. Having in mind what the parties intended and what they have already accomplished, we can then judge of the present condition of affairs. It is not enough for Lee and Jackson to keep the enemy at bay ; unless they defeat Pope they will fail in their plan. Their move was a bold one, and if successful would have great results. To hang around Washington till the Federal, mass their forces would expose them to serious danger. They must either fight or attempt some new movement. On the other band Halleck has extricated himself from the net . work on the James. He can concentrate and use at one point all his forces, and a large body of his army has been snatched from the pestilence and ifever of the Peninsula. The fact that the battle field has changed from Richmond to Washington only increases the risks of the Confederates. Should they succeed in utterly routing the Federal army, then the pathway to Washington would be opened. i Thus matters stand to-day. The news of to-morrow may throw light on the great problem. The eyes of both parties in the strife are now eagerly turned to Centreville. The Confederates at Richmond profess to be exultant and sanguine of victory ; the leaders at Washington have a calm confidence that they will be able to snatch success out of apparent danger. The hour of decision draws near. Anti cipations are worthless when facts are so near at hand. But while masses of men lie stretched on the battle-Seld of Manassas, the tight is also raging in the west. In Kentucky and Tennessee large forces are gathering to dispute for a second time the pos session of these two States. Soon the war in this section will change from guerilla raids to the move ment of organised armies. Mr. Davis ban an nounced the Confederate purpose of driving the invader from the soil, and carrying the war into the enemy's country. To accomplish this be is massing troops in various places at the West, and the cannon which booms along the Potomac will meet with au answer from Tennessee, Ohio, and Mississippi. The recently elected Governor of Kentucky has called on all tho people to rise and arm in defence of the Union cause, and repel the invaders. The ;lays of neutrality have passed, and the saddest features of fraternal strife will be exhibited in this common wealth. Literally (father is arrayed against son, and brother against brother. When the citizens of South Carolina and Massachusetts grapple in deadly strife, there is awakened and intensified the feeling of State jealousy which has been, growing for a generation; but in Kentucky men will meet as foes who in the past have nour ished the same local feelings, been trained in similar political memories and associations, and dwelt together in neighbourhood and affection. Under these circumstances, it is no surprise that citizens bound together and allied alike to the South and North should shrink from taking up arms ; but the exigencies of the hour demand a decision. BOSTON, Firm 2. There is but little additional news from the scenes of the late battles, except that General Burnside has I fallen back from Fredericksburg to Acquia Creek, a movement made necessary by the change in the poai ti of the forces. The meagre details which reach us make it clear that a portion of the Federal troops were roughly handled on Saturday, and that Jackson succeeded in turning one of the wings of Pope, which compelled him to swing his line round so as to occupy Manassas and Centreville. As the various movements of the rebel army be come known, it is evident that Jackson has shown great skill and celerity in throwing forward a large force. Ilia plan was certainly a bold one, but thus far it has proved a failure. If he had been two days in advance of his actual time his swum would have been more probable. The at tack on Cadets station was the first hint that the rebels were in that direction ; and though [TWOPENCE at the time it was thonsht to be a raid it began to awaken suspicion in an officer so much on the alert as Pope. This movement of Jackson must be regarded as one of the cleverest in the war ; but on account of contingencies which his plan did not allow he was too late. On the other hand, the disposition and direction of Pope's co lumns, as soon as he discovered Jackson's designs, exhibited good generalship. He came very near cutting off Ewell and capturing his brigade. Cora• potent judges declare that Pope's present posi tion is perfectly safe, and well adapted either for defence or advance. The two armies are now taking breath and rest. The forced march of the rebels must have taxed their powers of endurance, and as Pope's army is said to have engaged in fif teen battles, great and small, since be took com mand, they will recruit by a pause. But they will not be quiet long. Both their own general sod their foe are too active for them to remain without attempting something. It is difficult to say what will be Jackson's next move. The banks of the Rappahannock are being strongly fortified, with the intention of making this the base of rebel opera tions. But it would conform with Jackson's mode of warfare to make an attempt on Pope's flank, or to throw a force across the Potomac into Maryland and threaten Washington on that aide. But a failure in a manteuvre of this kind would be so fatal, and the hazards so great, that even this may be too bold an attempt for his audacity. He will now have to move with more caution, as he is so ace his enemy as to be watched. But as he commands his rear, his movements in that direction are in his own hands, and ere long be will probably turn up again in some unexpected quarter. The Confederate advance has begun in the west, and Humphrey Marshall is reported as marching on Cincinnati. Now is his golden hour. A month hence will be too late, so hie columns are in motion- Lexington, Kentucky, one of the neatest and most pleasant towns, has been evacuated by the Fedora's, and General Wallace is busily engaged in strength ening the Queen City of the west. Surely the fall campaign has begun in earnest, and the next two months will be among the most important in this memorable struggle. THE WEST INDIA AND PACIFIC MAILS. 1, Burr. 14..
