" The great war," says the Times, "on which the eyes of the world have been fixed for the last four years has been brought virtually to a aloes by the surrender of General Lee with the chief army of the Southern States." While giving the Confederate army its due mod of praise in the hour of its miafortuae, the +Tim es does not deny the Federal pearls end their troops the eredit of agree' achieve' meet. "Whether the Southerners have or have not fought better than la former yews there or be so doabt that the Fe dente have surpassed all their preceding efforts. Slowly but surely troy have brought their armies to perfection. If the lima has not gained in this struggle that mortice for desperate valour which has been achieved by the Om federates, they bar shown a patieone, a fortitude, and as energy which entitle them to rank among the very fast of military nations. nay have now sufficiently shown that the attempt to establish the Southern Oenfeelerssey must be •b•adend." The Times, Ls the full glow of the Federal sucesesse, has • frisadly wed ern for Mr. Seward. "There seems to be on the part of President Lincoln • desire to conciliate van quished fellow-citizens. Under the guidance of Mr. Seward, who has creditably distinguished himself in the Cabinet by his moderate counsels, and whose life will, we trust, be spared at this crisis to the Union, he may by gentle measures restore tranquillity, and, perhaps, before his term of °Moe expires, calm in some degree the 1111111106 i. tir which have been raised by these years of war." The Mornisy Post rye lees of the aloes of the war than of the difficulties whisk it believes are about to appear. "If the Union is to be recoustractri, is slavery to be abolished? Mr. Lincoln foresees the difficulty, but doss not venture to suggest a solution." But this is no► the only or the greatest difficulty with which the North will have to rioted. "The Confederate gover•seat, as such, may have ceased to exist, sod its armies may have beau dissolved, but there still remain six millions of people whose spirit of resistance is unbroken, and who posers now • greater aver. aide from Northern rule than they did mar than four years ago, when they sprang to arms to assert their independence. The Federal Government have proved themselves able to overrun a vast extent of territory, to capture cities, and to compel armies to capitulate, but they have still before them • more difficult task than all—that of subduing a brave, • stubborn, and an intelligent people." The Mrrninp Herald, more Confederate than the Confe derates themselves, appears unwilling to wort the opinion of General Lee as definite concerning the chances of the war. " The answer of General Mosby," says the Herald, " may be the answer given by • hundred period °mend ers in the Confederate BMW, There may be, and doubt's* will be, thousands wbo will scout the idea that the fate of the army of Virginia should decide that of her sister states. When we hear the voice of the Caribou and of Georgia, of Mississippi and Alabama, of Texas and Western Louisiana, raised in supplication for peace—then, and not till then, shall we believe that the end is come, and that the wood war of independence in America is over.' We h►ve been false to our principles, and neglected our opportunity. "We have been guilty of a crime as well as • blunder, and assuredly we or cur children will have to pay for froth." The Standard, which has always maintained that the Southern people would prolong their resistance while they had a regiment or a fortress left, sow says th►t General Lee is nut a man to take this view of his duty. "A thorough-bred soldier, be abhors all unsoldiarly practices, and would never sanction a war which had ceased to have • definite military object, and degenerated into a mere en deavour to inflict as severe • vengeance as possible among the conquerors. He accepts the fortune of war, and cur. renders his army when he is hopelessly beaten as he would surrender • fortress when defence had become obviously impossible. As • Christian commander be shrinks from a battle which would have been virtually the suicide of his army." - - - - - • no Advertiser remarks that the Confederate cause has been crashed ; bat •' it the Southerners have been vanquished, they have the satisfaction of knowing not only that they had to fight against overpowering numerical and Material odds, but that they retire from the coollict amid the sympathies sad ►dmiratioa of the whole civilised world." ACCIDENT AT THE WINDSOR STFEPLICHASYS.— Oa Saturday afternoon a serious accident occurred during , the steeplechase on the racecourse at Spike', near the , cavalry barracks on the outskirts of Windsor. Amon the , homes which started for the Military Sweepstakes ' , the third event of the day, was Major Wombwells (12th , Lasoers) Bell's Life, • well-known horse, the winner of , several steeplechase, and usually a great favourite at the Windsor meeting. Captain Rowley, of the 2nd Life Guards, one of the stewards, and au experienced horseman, rode Bell's Life in this nee, and it would seem that all went on well till • small brook running from the side of the Osboroe-road was approached. The stream is Teri narrow, and is, in fact, nothing but a ditch, though the jump pre sents some rather awkward features. It WORM appear that Bell'. Life had made the jump and cleared the brook, but attire the leap the hone tell deed, throwing °opts= Rowley with great force to the ground and falling partly upon the stunned rider. Bell's Life being thus killed upon the spot, Captain Rowley, who had suffered severely from the violence of the aucusaion, was picked up in an insen sible condition and removed to the residence of Colonel de Los, at Queen's-villas, only • few yards of the scene of the occurrence, and where he war attended to by Dr. Karin, who happened to be present. Although much shaken, it is believed that Captain Rowley has not received any serious injuries, and in the course of the again he was enabled to proceed to Loudon.

After a discussion in which several of the mem bers took part, the proposed abolition of capital punishment was rejected.

Previous to the surrender of Lee, Ord made a forced march of 30 miles in one day to the south of his line of retreat, the Federal main columns closely following. The roads were strewn with cannon, caissons, waggons, muskets, and sabres. The 13th and 16th Army Corps invested Spanish Fort, Mobile, and entrenched themselves on the 29th within 70 yards of the enemy's rifle pits. The loss of the Federate in killed . and wounded up to the 31st amounted to 800. The Confederate fleet from below the rifer was expected to attack the Federal fleet. Steel's column from Pensacola has arrived in front of Mobile and opened communi cation with Canby. The monitors Osage and Mil waukee have been blown up by torpedoes. Mosby's guerillas have been defeated within four teen miles of Washington. Deserters and refugees arrived at Goldsboro' re port that Raleigh has been evacuated. The Con federates are fortifying the Far River, at Rocky Mount in the direction of Weldon, on the Wilming ton railroad. Johnstone was expecting Sherman to move on Weldou. There were rumours that the latter had occupied Raleigh. Stoneman is said to have reached the Danville road, on Tuesday, tearing up the track between Danville and Greensboro'. It is calculated that from 20 to 30 millions worth of property was destroyed at Richmond ; only a small portion of French tobacco was burned. President Lincoln has issued a proclamation closing all the ports of Virginia, North and South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Florida, and Texas. The intention of this step is supposed to be the prevention of foreign commerce until the final conclusion of peace. The Washington Intelligencer, a semi-official organ, says that Lincoln will shortly issue a con eiliatory proclamation to the South. Mr. Hunter and Judge Campbell are expected at Washington to arrange for the restoration of the South to the Union. Lincoln has given the former a pass to come to and go from Richmond. The Richmond Whig states that an informal meet ing had been held by the members of the Virginia legislature who remained in Richmond, to consider the proposition of Lincoln to reassemble the legis lature, for the purpose of authorising the convoca tion of a convention to take Virginia back into the PARIS, Ann. 23. Union. Davis and several members of his cabinet arrived at Danville on Monday last. President Lincoln has returned to Washington, and is is considered probablq that he will call an extra session of Congress. NEW YORK. Aran.l3, Emma. Grant arrived in Washington yesterday after noon, and stated that Lee had obtained permission to visit Weldon. General Mosby has sent a message to the Federal commander at Fairfax, saying that he did not care about Lee's surrender, and was determined to fight while he had a man left. Thomas has received a report, which he credits, stating that Wilson had captured and burned Selma, Alabama, taking Forrest, Roddy, and their entire commands prisoners. Montgomery is also reported captured. Lynchburg has surrendered to a k'ederal scout ing party. The latest advices from Mobile are to the 4th inst. The water communication was cut between Spanish Fort and the city, and a battery had been established above the fort. The siege was progress ing favourably. General Palmer is in Kentucky receiving the surrender of all the Confederate forces in the State. Those not surrendering have been declared outlaws. Secretary Stanton telegraphs to General Dix to day that, after mature consultation with Grant, he had decided to stop all drafting and recruiting in the loyal States, to curtail all purchases of arms, ammunition, and supplies, to reduce the expenses of the military establishments, and the number of general and staff officers to the actual neces sities of the situation, and to remove all military restrictions. Trade will commence as far as is con sistent with public safety so eoon as these measures can be put in operation, which will be announced by public orders. President Lincoln has issued a proclamation de claring that if, after a reasonable time has elapsed for it to reach foreign countries, Federal vessels of war in foreign porta are still subjected to the same restrictions as at present, vessels of foreign nations will hereafter receive the same treatment in United States porta which is accorded to Federal vessels in foreign ports. Whatever claim or pretence may have existed heretofore, the United States are now at least entitled to claim and concede entire friendly equality and the rights of hospitality with all mari time nations. Several members of the Virginia Legislature, with the consent of the Federal authorities, have called a session of the legislature at Richmond to consider the subject of the restoration of peace in Virginia, and to adjust those questions involving life and pro party which have arisen in consequence of the war. The Federal authorities guarantee safe conducts for Governor Fletcher and the members of the legislature to enter Richmond and depart unmo lested. _ _ . President Lincoln has announced that Key West is not included in the porta closed. The ports already closed by blockade will continue so. The Herald thinks that Lincoln's proclamation closing the porta will cause foreign powers to meal the recognition of belligerency from the Confede rates. . - The Times urges the extreme measure of the law against Davis if captured. Mr. Seward was yesterday said to be in a very critical condition, but to-day the Tribune announces that he is nearly out of danger. The New York, Moravian, and Edinburgh have arrived out.

Walter, and the Hon. George Craven, the libe ral candidates for the representation of Barks, were netted. Mr. &oven. and Mr. Walter, the sitting members, allude to their past see. vices, and the latter gives his remorse for being opposed to the repeal of the malt duty, which be regards as simply • tax on beer. The Hon. George Craven, referring to thn subject, says :—"The malt tax. I am aware, is felt by many connected with the cultivation of land to be vexatious and injurious to them. Their views end wish.s are entitled to fair consideration, and in any future remissions of taxation I should hail with satis faction the prospect of the reduction of that tax." The three conservative candidates to contest the county at the next general election, viz. Mr. It. Benyoo the sitt ing member ; and Lie u tenant-Colonel Loyd Liegay, V.C., and Lieutenant-Colonel Sir Charles Russell, Bart, V.C., visited Reading on Saturday, and prosecuted en active OLD vase amongst the agrieultorists and others attending the Corn Exchange. In the afternoon a public meeting of the elec tors took place at the Town-hall, Mr. Thoyte, the the chair man of the Conservative Committee, being voted to chaff. The three candidates were present, and addressed the meeting. REYSE3ENTATION OF LYME REGIS. -- Colonel Pinney, the sitting member, has issued an address, stating that he will not stand aguo. There are four candidates for the seat to be vacated. Mr. F. K. Dumas, who con tested Brighton last February so vigorously, is before the constituency since June, when he promised to come for ward in virtue of his promotion of a railway to Chard-road, the bill for which has been lost before the Standing Orders Committee ; but though be has secured much personal popularity it is doubtful if be will go to the poll. Mr. Ilawkshaw, the engineer, offers himself es a local bene factor of a similar character. And so does Mr. Jones, a London attorney. The political principles of these three gantlemee are nearly similar, each being • moderate fibers ] . The fourth caudidate, Mr. fresbay, is a strong Derbyite, who was defeated wily by • single vote at the last election. But politics appear to be altogether in abeyance in the borough, where the desire for railway communiostioo over rides every other oonsideratiosi ; and so candidate will be Intend to unless he promise to assist in introducing loco motives so as to bring • portion of the tide of tourist traffic to this Dorset watering place. —Observer. _ Du Barry's delicious health restoring Revslenta ambles Foos ems, withoot modichie or hiconverienoe.

A lady's writing desk of the time of Louis XVL, richly ornamented by Goa thieves, was prushaeed for the Emprees, at the enormous price of 60,000 f. The new verb hatistmaniser, invented by M. I Pioiud, is now in very general use. The following pun in illustration of it, is attributed to a fashion able' lady :—" OM, le Prifet de la Seine s'est fait verbs, et Paris s'est fait cher." "M. Isaac Pismire " says the Unime, " has bad an audience at the T uileries. Report says that the Mobilier will be charged with the new loan of 300 millions for the city of Paris." This is the loan which M. Ronber admitted the other day . was about to be raised, but which the semi-official jour nals had strenuously a ffi rmed for some time past the Prefect of the Seine was not thinking of at aIL It also comes out now that money is to be raised by a sale of the state forests, a project very diligently denied when some indiscreet newspapers first got wind of it. The Bonne was in a rather feverish state ; the closing quotations show scarcely any change from yesterday. THE SOCIETY OF PAINTERS IN WATER COLOURS. Both the water colour exhibitions were openel to the public to-day. The older society may take precedence on the ground of " age before honour," otherwise we should find it difficult to say which of the rival exhibitions claims our notice as standing first in the order of merit. We fancy, however, that it will be pretty generally felt that neither of the societies has quite cisme up to the mark set by the exhibitions of some of their former seasons. There is, as it seems to us, on the part of the first rent men a disposition to rest on their laurels, and be content with the success of a confirmed and confident mannerism ; while there is little sign of effort to enlarge the scope of water-colour painting from either the works of the old or the young mas ters. There is scarcely as much proof of new blood and fresh vigour tobe found in these two " legi timate " exhibitions, which emanate from the cen tralised talent of the water-colour artists, as in the exhibition of the works of "outsiders," which we recently noticed under the title of " the General Exhibition," and which is still open at the Egqp tian-haU. There is no denying that the polished neatness of an exquisite in painting who is per petually harping on the same theme rather pals the senses, let his story be ever so good. It is not that our innate lore of change and variety makes us discontented with hie beau ties, it is that we cannot help feeling that the artist has it all so much at his fingers' ends that be has no need to think over hi work, and thus keeps spin ning ea it were all from the same yarn. Ot course a painter cannot be expected to escape a certain mannerism any more than an actor or a writer ; properly controlled, this should be his " style," but indolently followed in the choice of subject as well as method, it must inevitably make his work dry and unsympathetic. There is a good deal of this observable in the works of the foremost painters in the old society. ROYAL DRAMATIC COLLEGE. On Saturday the iirst anniversary dinner under the will of the late Mr. T. P. Cooke took pisoe at the Dramatic College buildings, Ifaybury ; Mr. MLBSTII, the Muter, presiding. There were about 120 persona present, amongst whom were Mr. Cumming, the pen-in-law of the late Mr. Cooke, Mr. Keeley, Mr. EL Bell, Mr. Buckstoue, Mr. Mark Leona, Mr. Willis, Mr. B.

The antral hall, is which the diaper was pro- vided, is a lofty, airy, and well lighted gothic apartment, and its walls are already ornamented with oil paintings, water-colour drawings, portraits, and photographs, the gifts of charitable donors. DUBLIN INITILNATIONAL ERIELRITION.—The con tract for the supply of refreshments withia the Dublin International Exhibition has beset entrusted to Messrs. W. and F.

THE ENGLISH WORKING CLASS= AND THE Ammocalt bramanx.—Having in view the probable speedy termination of the struggle consequent apes the late Federal successes, a strong committee of the working men of London, consisting principally of representative men connected with the trades unions, has been formed within the last few days, under the title of " The Working men's Anti-Slavery Committee,' with the object, as ex. premed in their programme, of "congtatulating the Preeideet. the people, and the working men especially of the United States on the success of the Federal cause and the triumph of negro emancipation, and to cultivateleternatiorral and iodustrial arreogements with the great Republic of America."
