A :ate edition of the Repress in publidled every evening during the racing resaun, couLtiuing the remits of the der'. rams. We have as yet no detailed official account of the tattle at Bull's Run ; but the additional in formation received during the last few days all tends to show that the earliest accounts of the engagement published were not only inaccurate, but, so far as the defeat of the North was con cerned, absurdly exaggerated. This was perfectly natural, as the narratives were those of suttlers and civilians, who saw and knew nothing of the action except the retreat, and who appear to have formed their estimate of the Northern army and its behaviour in the field from the hurried flight and terrified exclamations of a mere panic-stricken mob of camp-followers. Even these accounts, however, were sufficient to convict the wholesale sentence—" that 75,000 American patriots fled " for twenty miles in an agony of fear"—of being a wanton and malignant fiction. That any English journal of position and in fluence should be capable of making such a statement in a tone of mockery and exultation is a humiliation and disgrace to the press of this country. Such writing proves that, notwithstand ing our boasted superiority over the journals on the other side of the Atlantic, an English organ of opinion may occasionally equal in rancorous scorn, selfish passion, and vulgar prejudice, the worst Rowdy hacks of the lowest New York prints. Instead of 7.5,000 Northern troops having been engaged in the action at Bull's Run, it appears that not half that number were present, and their gallant behaviour in the field is attested, not only by the facts, but by the explicit testimony of their enemies. SUOCLIIS in such an enterprise would probably have been even to trained troops almost impossible ; and General Sever is reported to have reproached himself for allowing the attack to have been made so soon—prematurely, in fact. But once begun, the struggle was obstinately maintained by troops half-fasting and worn out by a twehe hours' march. An official despatch to Richmond from the Confederated camp says that the Northern troops on the left fought so valiantly, and pressed the Southern forces under General Jounarosi so severely, that the issue seemed doubtful. "It was here," the mime despatch states, " that Colonel Bsteroit's " Georgian Regiment was posted, which was so " terribly cut up that a large body of our troops " from the centre was sent at a critical moment to " the left's assistance, and turned the tide of the " battle." When at length obliged to retire it is evident that the Northern troops soon fell into disorder. But this, so far from being inexplicable, is only what might naturally be expected under the special circumstances of the case. The army was composed of volunteers, and however well such troops may fight, it is the most dif ficult achievement in the world to bring them from the field in good order. And most proba bly, whichever army had been compelled to retire would soon have fallen into confusion, and con verted the retreat into root. The confusion of the retreat is, no doubt, a lesson to Volunteers which ought not to be forgotten either in this country or America. But the fact that the Southern army failed to follow up its advantage proves that the retreat of the Federal army was no:, as it has been unjustly represented, the flight of cowards. The nine hours fighting had evidently inspired the Southern troops with a respect for Northern valour. But however imperfect our knowledge of this first great collision may be, we may predict SONO of its results with tolerable certainty. It will pat an end to hollow and deceptive schemes of compro- mise. The grand controversy between the North and the South hoe at length reached the point it has been for years past gradually approaching— the Wheel ratio cd farce, and the sword having sow been drawn in earnest, it must be fought out. The defeat of the Federal forces in this first great encounter will, however, inevitably tend to pro tract the war, and the delay will work to the ad vantage cid the North. The Federal States are in character, position, and means far better able to sustain a protracted contest than the Secessionists. The reverse they have experieneed will but rouse their latent energy, and develops their ample re sources, moral and material. It will help to give to the national struggle of the North the depth and seriousness it ought to prises& It will do this by bringing clearly out, and keeping prominently in view, the profounder motives and nobler issues—in a word, the whole moral significance--of the conflict. We cannot for • moment regret this. Whatever may have been the immediate amis . .* of the ac tual appeal to arms„ the real causes and objects of this war are of supreme gravity and importance. The Federal States are, in fact, fighting for the very elements and essence of social order, civic provenly, and national life. Th e revolted States pretend, indeed, according to Mr. firtriars' ingenious speech, that all they want is to be allowed to manage their own affairs in their own way. Bret this Is, as everyone knows, the merest delusion in the world. So long as their peculiar institution re mains, the Slave States must adopt a violent and aggressive policy or perish. That is the policy they have adopted and successfully carried out for years past in the Federal Government : they gained power, kept it, and used it for their own ends. But the constitutional despotism they have enjoyed so long having been at length constitutionally broken up, they appeal to the sword. For what purpose ? Ti. gain by force the criminal and degrading ends they have hitherto secured by policy. The one object for THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 9, 1861. which they have broken up the Union and taken the field against their fellow-countrymen is to ex tend and perpetuate slavery. It is neither more nor less than a wild and despotic crusade on behalf of the greatest curse that ever afflicted or ever can afflict any people. That this is the true character of the war in the South is demonstrated by the formal acts and declarations of the Secession leaders and representatives. Mr. STEPIIEN , , the Vice- President of the Confederate States, publicly declares to all the world, " The fomndations of " our new Government are laid, its corner " stone rests upon the great truth that slavery, " subordination to tho superior race, is the natural " and moral condition of the negro." Hitherto, while its evils were admitted, Slavery was defended in the South on the ground of its necessity. Now it is declared to be absolutely right, a now moral truth, the centre or corner stone of a new State, the symbol and watchword of a new and sanguinary crusade. The deepest wrong and most cruel injury that man can possibly inflict on his fellow is formally consecrated as right, while Heaven is profanely invoked in its defence. The one social curse which destroyed free and noble nations of old, and which modern civilization has repudiated as essentially destructive of national life and pro gress, is now, for the first tune in history, proclaimed as the one grand principle of the new Confederation. Such a State, were it possible to set it up, must be the permanent enemy, the natural foe, of all free peoples. To talk of coining to an understanding with such a State, of living on terms of amity and peace with it, would be out of the question. Such a State brands the notion of freedom as a falsehood, and stig matizes industry as a disgrace. The moral influence of a free and industrious people would be more fatal to it than the sword—than any display of mere material force. Its policy must be violent and aggressive in mere self-defence. It would be essentially by nature, constitution, and necessity, fillibuatering and piratical. This is the real meaning of the struggle in the South, and this would be its result were it successful. In view of such results, mere constitutional arguments, true a• they may be, sink to the level of idle pedantaj. If the Southern leaders and their adherents owed no obligations to the Union, but were perfect strangers, the Northern leaders entrusted by Pro vidence with the necessary material force would be morally bound to prevent the formation of such a State—such a portentous anomaly in the history of human progress. parties of the tribes, who pillage all the caravans. H•ggi Abdallah Oubehi, governor of the province of Haba, has been eommisaioued by the Emperor to reduce those tribes to obedience, and he has daily encounters with their troops. The tribes will not be satisfied with the Emperor until matters are settled with Spain. The Constilutionncl has a long article on the visit of the King of Sweden to France. We take front it the following extract : King Charles XV., prepared for his high position by • regency of a year and a half, has already accomplished acts which augur favourably for his reign. He has promulgated the law of Oct. El on religious liberty. By his generous initiative Roman catholic, have the right of building churches, founding schools, and propagating their doc trines. The Jews of Sweden are now able to establish themselves and purchase property in any part of the king dom. These advances in the path of pewees, unexampled in the history of the country, are the work of the French dynasty of Bernadotte. In their relations with foreign cabinets, the Kings of Sweden have given proofs of tact and firmness. As the chiefs of • secondary state, they cannot stand forth as champions, and risk their own security in defence of others ; but in all the events which have been accomplished during the last ten years, they have invariably favoured the right cause, and have not lost sight of the part which the geographical pceition and the well under stood interests of their people called on them to play. Placed in the north of Europe as a barrier against the power of Russia, they turned towards England and France in 1856, and engaged with them by treaty not to cede any territory to Russia, not to grant that country any rights of fishing, pasturage or others, and to communicate to Eng land and France any proposition that Russia might matte to Sweden for any cession of the kind. From such a treaty to an offensive alliance was but • single step, and that step would have been taken if the necessities of the war, instead of ooncentroting the effort of the allied powers in the south of the Rllllll9ll empire, had transferred into the north. France was grateful to King Oscar I. for all he did at the time for the success other warlike enterprises; and the Em peror's government has ever since regarded Sweden as it. ally. Thu article concludes by affirming that the strongest possible proof of the exceedingly friendly relations which subsist between France and Sweden is the present visit of Charles XV. DEATH OF THE BISHOP OF DURHAM. (BY BRITDOI AND IRISH MAGNILTIC TRU:GRAPH.) FRILAT MORNING. The Bishop of Durham died this moruin,s at a quarter-past 7 o'clock. The eminent prelate whose death it has become our painful duty to record was for many years rector ot St. George's, Bloomsbury, and during that period was well known throughout the metropolis, in many of whose pulpits ho appeared from time to time as a preacher on special occasions, under the name of the Hon. and Rev. Mon tague Villiers. He was also for • consider able time Canon Residentiary of St. Paul's. He was born in 1813, and consequently was only about 48 at the time of his death. He was consecrated Bishop of Carlisle in 1856, and translated to the see of Durham in 1860. He always belonged to the evange lical party in the church, with whom he was ex tremely popular. As the incumbent of a populous metropolitan parish he exhibited great earnestness sad activity, and in the educational and benevolent local organisations of his district he was a nsalous and influential leader. He was the brother of two hauling statesmen of the present day, namely, the Earl of Clarendon and the Hon. C. P. Villiers. Several families of distinction, including that of Earl Russell, will be placed in mourning by his decease. EN ann. OSBORNE, Aucuer 8.

His Excellency and suite were conveyed to the Tuileries in three state carriages. 24. Solar, who had appealed against the judg ment pronounced against him, did not appear to day before the Tribunal, and his appeal was there fore dismissed. M. Caley was condemned in a Sue of 3,000 f. for having participated in the dis tribution of a false dividend. It is asserted that the interview between the Emperor and the King of Prussia will take place at Strasbourg on the 6th October next. THE BANK OF FRANCE. PARIS, Auover 9.

This address was unanimously and enthusiasti cally adopted, and it was resolved to send it to the Upper House. PESTH, Avers? 9. The draught address, as proposed by M. Desk, also mentions the rights of the Bohemian and Clinician crowns, decidedly declines that deputies from the Hungarian Diet should be sent to the Council of the Empire, and declares that the Hun garian Diet must cease transacting any parliamen tary business. THE HERZEGOVINA. RAGUSA, Acoosr 5. The European commission for the settlement of the affairs of the Herzegovina has been dissolved. Omer Pacha has addressed an ultimatum to the Montenegrin chiefs.

An ordinance from the M Vl inister , of Aua Finance ceders that at present and during harvest time, those Hungarian tax-payers who are really indigent are to be treated with indulgence, but that the most energetic measures of severity are to be employed against those solvent persons who re fuse to pay the taxes. SPAIN. The Madrid journals of the 4th have arrived. The Marquis del Duero had left for Vichy, rnd was to visit the camp at Chiions. The Pueblo and the Iberia had been seized. The same fate had befallen a number of the Pressc of Paris, which contained an article attacking Marshal O'Donnell's cabinet. The rifle matches at Vincennes will terminate en the 18th. They commence each day at eight o'clock in the morning, and finish at levee in the evening, the opening and close being announce! by the firing of a cannon. Among the most assiduous amateurs are a party of Swiss, when skill is out of the ordinary line. They are profesional riflemen, and are remarkable for the heavi ness of their urns and their shooting aprons in green serge. There are also among the competitory some bear-killers from the thrpathimi mountains, and some bunters of the nerd from the Pyrenees • but the personage w h o exc it es t h e interest sad curiosity is Jules Gerard, the lion killer,ted who may be seen walking about from one target to another, apparently ea amateur. A PARISIAN SOMNAMBULIST.—As 80020 workmen were pining along the Rue Payenne, au Mamas, on Wed nesday morning, between five and six o'clock (says Gallo nonil, they were surprised to behold a young fanak,dreseed in her nig h re and apparently about eighteen yeah of age, slowly welting along_ the roof of a boiler, as if In profound meditation. Her friende were imme diately informed of the fact, and her father went en the roof to endeavour to rescue the pour somnambulist, bet dust not approach her. Yeanwhfie, a considerable crowd had collected, who watched her progress with great anxiety, till they saw her return of her own accord to the window, where her friends were waiting to receive her. She was the whole time in a deep sleep. THE GREAT EARTEAN AT Quzenc. —The Quebec Iforniny CArorsiele of July 27th says:—" Nearly ten thonsend persons have visited the great ship since she has bees opened to visitor.

The Emperor, the King of Sweden, and Prince Oscar went to the Opera last night to see Gratiosa, Le Marche des Innocents, and part of the Huguenots. During the performance the Emperor frequently changed plays with the King of Sweden, to let him see better. The royal party, instead of going to St. Cloud, as was expected, slept at the Tuileries, possibly because it was a more convenient place to organise a bachelor supper, otherwise it would have been more agreeable during these hot nights to sleep in the country. This morning the King of Sweden inspected the Louvre, and visited various monuments in Paris. In answer. to a recent paragraph in the Pantie, stating that there was to be a new organisation of the commissariat and all the other corps of the navy, the Pays offers the following vague and shadowy sort of contradiction :—" We think this information very conjectural. We may even say that it reposes rather upon words than upon serious and accomplished facts." This is what lawyers in England would call a plea of the statute of frauds, which is never a very creditable one. I do not see why tho French government should be ashamed of reorganising its navy, if it wants re organising. But why make a distinction between a scheme " reposing " on wonls, and one reduced to writing 1 It is quite plain that the words alluded to must have issued from no vulgar mouth, otherwise they would not be solid enough to support the weight of the paragraph in the Petrie. M. Faidberhe, the governor of Senegal, has arrived in Paris, on leave of absence ; and, accord ing to the Pays, ho has come for the purpose of suggesting an exchange of the French settlement of Gabon for Gambia, which exchange he hopes to prove would be equally advantageous to France and England. The Abbi Bordeaux of Chinon (a place, by the way, celebrated by Rabelais as a hotbed of priest craft) writes to the Opinion Nationak to complain of the inaccuracy of the report of his speech at the distribution of prizes at the school of the Doctrine Chrtitienne, and of the consequences which followed. The only correction of any importance is that the abbd protests that he never meant to attack the Emperor's government ; he spoke of the revolution which desolated Italy, but said never a word of the second empire or of the war in Lombardy. It appears, however, from the abbe' own showing that the functionaries who hoard his speech must have interpreted it in a different manner from him self, for he admits that he was arrested, although he takes exception to the word " immediately." A gendarme " invited " him to go to the public prosecutor's office, but he showed no arrest war rant. When there he offered to repeat his dis course, and that not being enough he sat down to write it. Notwithstanding this frank proceeding on his part, a "minute search" was subsequently made at his residence, and • paper was seized, but which he declared to have been not the text of his speech, but merely a rough draft of som e fragments of it. He admits that the local autho rities were present in the school, and pleads the unimportant fact that they were not in uniform, but leaves uneoutradictod the substantial allega tion that they rose and left their seats in conse quence of what he said. The Gazette de France, which, owing to its cleri ' cal connexions, often has early intelligence from Rome, though its manlier of hashing up the sews for the public makes it generally unreliable, says that General de Goyon is coming to France to pre side at the couuzil-general of his department, and that on July 2 he had a farewell audience of the Pope. The general arrived at. the Vatican just as the Pope was going out, bat counter orders were at once given, and his Holiness remained closeted with his military protector for three hours. The above statement, although not confirmed in any other quarter, is probably true. I subjoin from the same authority some other items which are much more sujet d caution : The fall of the temporal power is regarded as imminent by very many of the upper clergy. It is even said that the Pops has demanded list of those of his noble guards who would be disposed to follow him in case of his departure for a foreign land. The guard unanimously replied in the affirmative. The Sardinian consul, It. Tecchio, has been warned that he will not in future be permitted to receive any telegram in cypher. This difficulty he will easily got over, by re ceirog his desperhee through the French embassy ; but there is a talk of bringing his nurceuvree to • short cud by seeding him his parporta. We expect to receive very shortly a decree of Victor Emmanuel, pronouncing the absolute deposition of the Pope. If we are well informed, reparations are now making at the Castle of Si. Angelo for • grand allegorical transparency to be exhibited on August 15, in celebration of the Franco- The ex-canon Liverani is Lathing at Montecatino, and at the same time composing a new opuscle agaiast the Pope. The French Emperor wished to buy the Faroe'. Palace u well as the Peruse Gardens from Francis IL ; but whether the Roman government wished to spare the King the nessesity of making a disagreeable refusal, or whether it ham vim of its own with regard to the palace, it interfered with the negotiations by brining forward the trust. of Cardinal Farnese's will, which gave the Pope a right of pre-emption. People are at liberty to draw what nonce. guanaco they like from these facts. • • • We shall return to the subject of the acquisition of the Farness Gardena by the Emperor. The Bourse was weaker to-day, owing to nume rous realisations of profit. Reute and railways closed without change. Mobilier rose 3fr. 75c., and Credit Foncier, 10fr. The Correctional Tribunal pronounced judgment this afternoon in the are of M. Calley Saint Paul. He is acquitted of all the charges against him but one. The court is of opinion that be committed a breach of the law of 1850 by distributing a fictitious dividend ; but inasmuch as be acted in the inte rest of the shareholders, and no complaint is made by any shareholder but M. Grimaldi, who is held to be actuated by evident motives of private ven geance, the court awards M. Grimaldi no damages, and finding M. Calley St. Paul guilty, with ex tenuating circumstances, sentences him only to pay a fine of 3,000 fr. M. Solar's case, set down at him own request, on the allegation that he meant to take his trial, was called ou to-day, but, as I anticipated, he did not appear, and a second "default" was recorded against him. A letter from Mogador of the 26th ult., in the &slut Public of Lyons, says : I send you some information as to the state of affairs here. The difference between Morocco and Spain is not yet settled. Mr. Deno:mood Hay, English consul-general and chargé d'affairce at Tangier, started a fortnight ago for Mequioex, where the Emperor now is. Report says that the object of his interview with the Emperor is to persuade Sidi-Mohamed to pay Spain annually, so that Tetuan may be immediately evacuated, England offering to guarantee the pay ment of the sums due. Mr. Drununood Hay is expected to stay about a month at Meluiees. Trade is very quiet here, for no one will engage in any important speculation, so long as the Spaniards remain at Tetuan. Many of the tribes are dissatisfied with the Emperor, and refuse to pay their tribute-money. The provinces of Chiadma Antouga and Rebmos are in a state of insurrection, and the road from this place to the city of Morocco is intercepted by AMERICA. We have received New York papers to July 27. They are of course, filled with details of the de feat at Bull's Run ; the slaughter is said to have been much exaggerated in previous accounts, the Ntw York Herald now stating that the total loss of the Union army in killed does not exceed 150. The following is from the Neio York Times of the 27th ult. : Ten thousand fresh troops have arrived in Washington within the but forty.eight hours. In fact, ever since the disaster of Sunday they have been pouring in in almost a continuous stream. Oa Sunday night, after the result of the battle had become known in Washington, Governor Curtin, of Pennsylvania, was telegraphed to for more troops, and in four days afterwards he bad sent on ten regiments—about 14,000 men—composed of men who have had the advantage of two months' experience of camp life. And apparently, this promptitude in assembling • heavy force at the capital is needed, and the great care should be that its energies are not expended in the wrong direction. An immense amount of labour, our correspondent informs as, is being done upon the fortifications upon the Virginia side of the Potomac ; but if all the reports which reach us are to be relied upon, it is not on that side that we are to look for an attack from the rebels, if they intend to make one,—and that they entertain such an intention now, seems to be admitted. Their plan, according to the best informs• tion attainable, is to cross the Potomac about 40 miles above Washington, and make the attack from the Maryland side,—General Lee taking command of the enterprise, while General Beaureprd will move forward to engage the attention of General M'Clellan on the Lee of defences at Arlington and Alexandria ; Johnston will ope rate against General Banks, and columns will be sent against General Butler and General Rosencrants. This is • stupen- dous programme, but the sin of the rebel army seems to warrant the leaders in undertakiog to carry it out. The following is one of the latent despatehte to the New York Herald : Washington, July %. It is now stated that our total loss in killed at the battle of Bull's Run will not exceed 150. Vus numbers of the miaaiog, who were at first reported killed, have straggled back to their regiments, and since the execution of the order of General Mansfield, to clear straggling soldiers out of the streets of Wuhington, the number of missing has magically decreased. It is still, however, impossible to obtain perfectly accu rate and reliable reports of the casualties. Few of the re gimental officers have made their reports, and the brigade and division reports are therefore delayed. A. facts are developed, proving beyond doubt that the victory bad been actually woo by our forces at Bull's lion when they were stampeded, speculation is busy to account for the panic. The fact. as they occurred have already been stated ; but why the panic among the teamsters and civilians in the rear should have communicated itself to the soldiers, who bad for hours faced torrents of leaden hail, and repulsed charge after charge of the enemy, is not entirely clear. It is thought by many who have studied the matter that the sending forward of the three months men, ' whose time of enlistment was nearly out, was a fatal error. They were already home sick, and the near approach of the time for their return had dampened their ardour, and ren dered them less anxious to court danger. There is philo sophy in this. But it cannot be denied that some of the three months regiments behaved very gallantly in the action. There are unquestionably a good many Falstaff* in our army of the Potomac, men who tell astounding stories of their valorous feats at Bull's Run. A good many of these self-recorded heroes were the foremost nags in the retreat, and their ta►es of valiant deeds of high empriee upon the battle field for the most part are pure fabrications to con. arid their real cowardice. The men who fought best and ran last, if they ran at all, say the least about their own achievements. The Second Wisconsin Regiment was commanded in the recent battles by Lieutenant-Colonel Peck. A few days previous to the engagement leave was granted to Colonel Coon to return to Wisconsin for a short period. Having leer& that a battle was to take place, be delayed lite de parture, and acted as volunteer aid to Colonel (acting Brigadier-General) Sherman, who compliments him highly for his seal in action and self-possession under fire. This statement is due to Colonel Coon, some imputa tions having been thrown upon the courage of a Wisconsin colonel. We have good authority for stating that Colonel Coon aught a Bag from • colour bearer, with which he rode along the wavering lines, and succeeded in rallying • considerable force to make • stand, which was formed into • hollow square by General ki'Dowell, and used to cover the retreat from the field. Much has been said of the gallantry of various regiments under the piling fire of the masked batteries, but it often happens that theme most worthy of commendation are the last to receive it. The Scott Life Guard, Colonel Hobart Ward, was ordered to support Griffin's battery, early in the action, in its attack on the enemy's works. The Guard went steadily and bravely to the work, and held their posi tion until all in the vicinity, even Griffin's battery, bad left, notwithstanding they were several times fired into by our own troops, and during all which time they received no modification of orders. Their heavy losses indicate that they have seen hot work. The Fire Zouaves had a position at the right of the Guard, and the Fifth Massachusetts at the right of the Zouaves, all wider • galling fire, and all suffering severe losses. The letter accompanying the flag of truce sent to the rebel lines, in reference to the dead and wounded on the battle field, was addressed to "The Commander of the Forces at Manassas Junction." This address has been Oaken in high dudgeon. Instead of exhibiting feelings of common humanity, the request to entertain the proposi tion was disdainfully rejected, because it was not addressed to " The Commander of the Forces of the Army of the Confederate States." The stoppage of tho officer bearing the flag upon their outer hues was totally unnecessary, for our whole army had been over all the ground to within • few miles of MAMMA" and knew exactly what was there. They must turn him back, and take two whole days to procure a reply to his message, and when that comes it is • simple refusal, on technical grounds, to entertain the proposition. There is infinitely more puoctiliousnees than humanity in this proceeding. The brave fellows who fell in that engagement, and their dearest friend% would much prefer that their bones should whiten where they fell in defence of the flag of their country th an that the flag under which they died should be die. honoured by even this semblance of a recognition by our government of the government assumed to be set up by the rebels. Their inhumanity is unparalleled in the wages of modern warfare. None but savages would refuse the oppor. tunity to a foe to bury their dead and aid their wounded on • battle-geld. From Southern sources we have the following, relative to the battle :—" A special despatch to the Charleston Mercury, date July 23rd, says : As soon as it became evident that the enemy meant to give battle, President Davis hastened to the scene of action, arriving in time to take part in the battle. He imm ed iately assumed command of the centre. General Beauregard was commander of the right wing, and General Johnstone of the left. It was against General Johnstone's command the enemy concentrated their best troops, who fought most obstinately. At one time the left was pressed so severely that the issue of the conflict in that direction seemed doubtful. It was there Colonel Barton's Georgia Regiment was posted, which was so terribly cut up that a large body of our troops from the centre was sent at a critical moment to the left's assistance, and turned the tide of the battle. The enemy broke and fled before the impetuous charges of the Southerners, and the battle soon became a rout. A despatch from Richmond, dated July 22, says: " Soon after prayer in the Confederate Congress, the following despatch was read to that body : Maxima' Junction, Sunday Night. Night has closed upon a hard fought field. Our forces were victorious. The enemy was routed and fled precipi tately, abandoning a large amount of arms, ammunition, knapsacks, and luggage. The ground was strewed for miles with those killed, and the farm - houses and the grounds around were fi lled with wouoded. Pursuit was cootinuedalons several routes towards Leesburg and Centreville until dark ness covered the fugitives. We have captured several field batteries, stands of arms, and Uniou and State flags. Many prisoners have been taken. Too high praise cannot be be stowed, whether for the skill of the principal officers or foe the gallantry of our troops. The battle was mainly fought on our left. Our force was 15,000, and that of the enemy 35,000. (Signed) JEFFERSON DAVIS. By the demise of the Countess of Newburgh, a pension of LOOM a year reverts to Greenwich Hospital. Her ladyship was one of the oldest, if not the oldest, mem ber of the aristocracy, and became entitled to the said annuity of I,ooof. upon the death of her husband, Anthony James, Earl of Newburgh, in 1814. The late earl, as the grandson of Charles Radcliffe, the third brother of James, Earl of Derwentwater, became entitled to 2,500 f. as a rent charge upon the estates of the family (given by parliament to Greenwich Hospital in 1735), the act having been passed in the 28th year of the reign of Geo. 111.. c. 63. The Earl of Derwentwater was executed in 1715 for high treason, and his brother, Charles Rwkliffe, attainted at the same time, must have joined in the rebellion of 1745, as he was executed for high treason in December, 1746, under his former conviction of 1715. Tai QUEEN'S VISIT TO IRELAND. —A cornea dent of the Cork Examiner lays :—" I am now in a ion to state that the characteristic generosity of the nob e house of Kenmare has been remarkably ex hibited. At an ad. journed meeting of the committee held on Friday, to marry out the arrangement, &c., for receiving her Majesty, it was stated that Mr. Thomas Oallwey, agent to Lord Catalerosees will in a short time announce the route her Majesty will take in going through his de mesne, to the people of Killarney, who will be allowed to remain present while her Mesty panes. It is now positively ascertained that her Majesty will remain here but for three days, and not four as was stated, On the last day she will remain at Muckross House, when Colonel Harbert will get up a stag hunt in the Upper Lake. The preparations at Killarney house are all of a most extensive and superb description. Workmen are busily engaged in erecting platforms in the last avenue. SOUTH LANCASHIRE ELECTION,—We are informed that the nominations now fixed for Wednesday next, the 14th inst., and the polling is to take place on the following Saturday. A Ysaa's Wuza.—A calendar of the wills and administrations of the year 1858 (at least from the 10th of January) has been published, and the registrar-general has made some interesting calculations founded upon it, making an estimate for the omitted ten days, so as to complete the year. 210,972 adults died in the twelvemonth, and 30,8:D persona left personal property behind them ; 21,653 had made their wills; the other 9,170 bad made none, and letters of administration bad to be taken out. 89 persons with more than 10,0001. (one worth above 100,000!.) died without making a will. The aggregate amount of property left by all these persons is estimatod at 71,860,792/., 11•8114. ing 2,3311. each. Distinguishing between the men and the women, we find that 102,049 adult men died in the year, and 21,454 left personal property—for one who left any, four leaving none ; 108,923 adult women died, and 9,369 left personal property. The average amount left by the men was 2,7511. ; by the women, 1,371/. Omitting now any estimate for the first ten days of the yaar, and dealing only with the actual wills and administrations of the rest of the twelvemonth, the personal property of those who died leaving any, 29,979 in number, amounted to 69,893.380 f., of which 57,396,1501. was left by the men, and 12,497,0301. by women. The stream of wealth flowed thus : Persons. Dying Worth. left. 22,613 ..

About 35,000,000/. belonged to 29,392 persona. none having more than 20,000/., and the other 35,010,000/. belonged to 587 persons, fifty times fewer than the former company. Of those who left about 100,0001., 37 were described is esquires, a term which would include men who had made their fortunes by trade or commerce; ten were titled personages, five were bankers, four mer chants, three clergymen, one cotton manufacturer, one corn merchant, one hotel keeper ; one was in the navy, one in the Indian army, one in the Indian Civil Service, one was • spinster. Three medical men left more than 50,000/. A person described when he made his will as a commercial clerk left above 30,0001. ; 17 "labourers and mechanics" above 1,0001. Of 75 lawyers, 15 died without making their wills. The foregoing statements, which must be taken as approximations rather than an absolute accuracy, relate to England alone. In the year ending March 31, 1859, legacy duty was paid in the United Kingdom on 65,441,611/., but that does not include property passing from husband to wife or the converse, no legacy duty being then payable ; succes sion duty on real property was paid upon 29,242,610/., and, estimating that to be taxed to the next successor at half its saleable value, it will amount to 58,4&5,2601. On this assumption 123,926,871/. passed by death to another genera tion of successors. It is certainly a remarkable fact that (upon an average) on every death, including alike men, women, and children, more than 100/. of property paying legacy duty and perhaps 1871. of property of every kind, is left for the 'benefit of successor; in the United Kingdom. &reale SHIPPINO.—It appears from en official re turn that at the commencement of the present year 1,945 steamers were registered in the United Kingdom of a green burden of 686,41, tons, being an increase of 82 vessels and 19,904 tons, as compared with the corresponding date of 1860. The number of paddle steamers was 1,342 ;of screws, 601, 1 vessel had screw and paddle combined (the Great Eastern), and 1 bad an experimental propeller. A. regards the materials of which they were constructed, 860 were built of wood, 1,080 of iron, and 5 of steel, so that in steam shipping iron is carrying all before it. The port of London figures for 515 steamers, Liverpool for 214, Glasgow for 159, Shields for 132, Newcastle for 116, Sunderland for 71. Bristol and Hull for 66, Dublin for 52, Leith for 45, South ampton and Waterford fur 33 each, Cork for 32, Greenock fur 29, Dundee for 16, he.

DIEMISSAL OF A LIVERPOOL DOCK MASTER Eng BRIBIRV.—Some time since a discussion took place at a meeting of the Mersey Dock board relatisu to the alleged bribery of one of the dock master., who received wane money from an American captain after having pre viously presented a "pill-box "to him, remarking at the same time, " You see, captain, I take opening medicine.' A committee was appointed to investigate these facts, and the case was brought home to Mr. Euetice, master of the Nelson Dock. Yesterday, at the weekly meeting of the board, be was formally dismissed, with tie allowanos of • quarter's salary.
