Tam tremendous character of the Confederate defeat becomes more clearly apparent with the fuller and later intelligence which we receive of the flight and the pursuit. Of LEE'S course, on the first days after the evacuation, which it will be remembered took place on the night of Sunday, the 2nd April, nothing is yet distinctly known. But it was at least certain that his only route lay westward, and General GRA= lost not an hour in directing the pursuit. It seems to have been con ducted in three columns. One, consisting of the cavalry, with (perhaps) the sth Army Corps, under command of SHIRIDAN, was in advance, and struck the Danville Railway leading from Richmond to Burksville Junction, near Amelia Court-house, about 40 miles from Richmond and 12 from Burksville. General Means followed on • line • little to the south, commanding the 2nd and 6th corps. Gasxr himself accompanied the left wing, consisting of the 24th and pelt of the 25th corps, under General ORD, on the direct Burlaville road, parallel with the Southaide Railway, and which passes through Nottaway Court-house, about 10 miles south-east of Burksville. But it was not till Tuesday, the 4th, when these positions were reached, that any distinct information was obtained of the whereabouts of what remained of the routed army. On the evening of that day SHERIDAN sent word to MEADE that if he could get his column up in time, he might capture or disperse Leit's army, then resting at Amelia Court-house. On Wednesday, the sth, SHERIDAN was at Jeffersville, half way between Amelia Court-house and Burksville, thus cutting LEE off from the junction, and preventing his adopting the route to Danville ; and the Federal general, pushing a brigade still further to the left, captured five guns, 200 wagons, and a number of prisoners. The 2nd corps joined him in the fore noon, and the 6th in the afternoon, and GRANT himself, leaving ORD'S division, which pro ceeded to and captured Burksville the same night, moved across the country at the earnest request of his cavalry lieutenant to be present with the advance. On Thursday, the 6th, MEADE received intelligence that LEE was pointing in the direction of Fannville, a point on the Lynchburg Railway about eight miles west of Burksville. The Federal troops were at this time proceeding in a northerly direction from Burksville, but their route was at once changed to the north-west, the 6th corps, which had been on the right, meantime moving along the rear to the left, to form the extreme left of the line, the 2nd forming the centre, and the sth the right. The cavalry were on the conti nuation of the left flank. The 2nd corps soon became engaged with the enemy, and drove him across Sailor's Creek, a stream which falls into the Appomattox river about eight miles north of Burks villa. The 6th corps, with SHERIDAN'S cavalry, came up about four p.m., and instantly charged. The result was decisive, end six Confederate gr nerals were captured, Ewan., Kriumew, Burro; CORSE, DEBASE, and CLAIMS Lea, and several thou sand prisoners, fourteen guns, and many elisions fell into the hands of the victors. For two miles the road was strewn with tents, baggage, cooking utensils, and ammunition. Several times the enemy appears to have rallied, and to have attempted a stand behind entrenchments or natural obstacles, bet he was successively driven from them, and only nightfall seems to have prevented his utter dispersion or surrender. At this pcint the narrative for the present stops. But in summing up these results some points of importance become apparent. In the first place, it is known by intercepted letters that General ROBERT LEE was himself with the Confederate troops. In the next place, the routes and positions appear to indicate that both the Richmond and Petersburg garrisons were combined, and that therefore the body engaged comprised the whole remnant of the Southern army. In the third place, it is seen that this body was driven from its ground by no more than a single army corps of the Federal engaged at a time, which indicates that the re maining Confederate numbers are not probably above fifteen thousand men. This is indeed the wreck of an army, and it is clear that being pur sued hotly by four times that force, their only safety can be in the rapidity with which they can getaway. But with SHERIDAN'S troopers hanging on their flank and rear they cannot march so as to outstrip even the Federal infantry, and hence there is every probability that the further retreat will be marked with a series of combats, in which there can be no result, ex cept further carnage of Confederate soldiers and capture of Confederate prisoners, until the whole army is dispersed. In truth, so evident is the hopelessness of the case, that we find Santa- DAN, in his last despatch, announcing a confident expectation that a capitulation must follow. And with the Appomattox in their rear, and a distance of still fifty miles to traverse before the shelter of Lynchburg could be reached, the position of the handful of men who still remain under Lee's com mand was indeed desperate. Thus, then, ends the possibility of a reunion between the forces of LEE and JOHNSTON, and of a stand made against GRANT and SHIRMAN in the mountains of East Tennessee or North Carolina. From the position of the hostile army it is impos sible that, even if he escape capture at once, Lee can effect a junction with Jos/taro* thus, the oonclnaion cannot be far oij The Con federate Commander-in-chief misantoriils all his skill, prolong for more than a few days a contest of 15,000 men against 50,000. But Jostrarow is in peril. only one degree less imme diate. He has been unable to resist SHILIAL&N'S advance, even when SELMAN was driving him back on his supports, and bad himself no direct aid from GIANT. What stand can JOHNSTON make now that he has no support, and now that when he falls back he must encounter Gaktrr on his rear or flank, while Snassait presses his front f The Confederate partisans, who yesterday morning pointed out the brilliant strategy by which Las had placed his army in a position of strength and security, will, perhaps, be able to give still an answer to this question ; but calm observers of poising events can have but one opinion upon it. Whether the contest, thus, so far as armies in the field are concerned, vi•tuaally at a close, will be prolonged by a frantic resistance of small parties, or an attempt at guerilla warfare, lies with the Confederate people alone to decide. There are doubtless some among their leaders whose counsel will still be for war, since peace, by negotiations which would secure them rank and position, is no longer to be hoped for. But in the rapid melting away of Las's army we see ground for trust that these wild and criminal ideas will find little support. That army comprised all that remained of valour and obstinacy in the late Confederacy, yet it has, in these few days lost more by desertion and the process of spontaneous breaking down than even by the attacks of the enemy. This is conclusive that it has lost hope and heart, as we know the provinces, and the remaining inhabitants of the Southern States, long ago had done.

Of the London daily journals which have sup ported the Coafedsrate muse, the THUS alone accepts the recent sucomes of the North as decisive of the iglu of the war.

REPORT OF THE MIEDICit; OFFICER OF THE PRIVY COUNCIL. Tl , ;s ut.onlog was issued in a blue book of 532 pages the seventh report of the medical officer of the Privy Council, Mr. John Simon, comprising an account of the proceedings which the Lords of the Pei'' , Council took dr -ing the year 1864, together with au appendix containing various reports of other medical inspectors. The latter re ports give an account of the present state of public vaccination in parts of England which had not been before impacted. We may state that the quality of the lymph is reported as being everywhere quite astidectory. Amain the papers is one by Dr. Hunter, who was employed last year to inquire as to the hones accommodation of the agricultural and other labourers of rural districts, examining in different counties in England as many as 5,375 occupied houses. To the insufficient quantity and miserable quality of this acoommodation, almost every page of Dr. Hunten's report bears testimony ; and the evil, especially within the last 20 or 30 years, has been very rapidly increasing. Dr. Hunter describes great owners as escaping from poor-rates, through the intentional depopulation of the leads over which they have control, the nearest town or open village already crowded receiving the evicted labourers. Among the exceptions to th , s kind of relation between the large landowner and the labouring population ere men tioned the properties of the Dukes of Bedford, Rutland, and Neworvtle, and of the Marquis of Exeter. While our Poor. law, however, Mr. S' son says, continues unaltered in its provisions concerning settlement and chargeability, each instances must tend to become still rarer and more exceptional ; "for, practically, any future may be foretold from the known interests of those who can control it ; and it would be too much to expect that landowners, es a clue, should be the voluntary bearers of a re maim while the law leaves it optional with them to escape." We remark that it is the common conclusion of competent observers that even the general badness of the dwellings is an evil infinitely lees urgent than their mere numerical insufficiency. Some of the came of overcrowding given in Dr. Hunter's report are revolting. Mr. Simon seems to expect much benefit from the Union Chargeability Bill, as removing in great pert the present strong inducements for the dislodgment of agricultural labourers from places where their industry is employed ; but the ulterior question which he thinks will have to be considered is this—whether all land which requires labour ought not to be held liable to the obligation of containing • certain proportion of suit able labourers' dwellings. Bat the alms employed in agriculture is not the only one to which the above inquiry extended ; the household eir cumetanoes of mining and colliery populations fell within ill scope, es did also the position of that large class of the rural population which follows the more migratory kinds of labour. Among these various non-agricultural sections of the rural population, are reached apparently the lowest levels at which • so-called house accommodation exists. "In the mining and colliery dittricts," says Mr. Simon, "it is frequent that large populations are gathered together with scarcely more Feriae organ isation than if the people were but to be tented there for a night." The apology made for this seems to be that mines are oommonly worked on lease, and that the duration of the lessee's interest is not so long that he should deem it worth his while to create good accommoda tion for his labonrers. Here again Mr. Simon argues that claims of landlordship are being so used as to do gnat public wrong. " The landlord in his capacity of mine owner invites an industrial colony to labour on his estate, and then in his asperity of surface-owner males it impossible that the labourers whom he collects should find proper lodging where they must live. The beiges meanwhile has no pecuniary motive for resisting that divi sion of the bargain—well-knowing that if its latter condi tions be exorbitant the consequences fall not on him ; that his labourers, on whom they fell, have not education I enough to know the ulna of their eanitar► rights, that I neither obscenest lodgings nor foulest drinking water will be appreciable inducements towards a strike. Accordingly ; for remedying the present state of things—the great desi deratum is that no mineowners should be able to dissociate from one another the two capacities of his landlord•bip." With regard to the removal of nuisances, the reports of the inspectors furnish overwhelming proof, in the opioico of Mr. Simon, that our present law is inauffinient for its understood purpose. The inaction of local authorities is commented upon, and Mr. Simon submits certain amend ments in the Nulesnces Removal Acts. We may state that me of these in that it ought no longer to be discretional in a plies whether it should be kept filthily or sot, and that any extreme ataitary neglect in ► district should be an evil for which the Court of Queen's Bench, with its ordinary mai ; nary of mandamus, could apply a remedy. I Mr. Simon's report further deals with the inquiry which was made last year as to the prevalence of parasitic die se in the nest of the London markets, and with hispectims made on certain °crevices of local alarm and eomplaias, or on officially repotted local manes of preventible dilemma COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. Sittinp in Banco.—(Before Lord Chief Justios Ede, and Justices Bylee and Keating.) HUNT r. THZ OILIAT WIERIZZ RAILWAY COMPLIST. The plaintiff in thin case was a tabling agent, and having taken a through ticket from Cardiff to Newcastle, he now claimed damages upon the ground that he bad been delayed a day upon the journey. The ease was tried at Cardiff before Yr. Justice Mellor. when the jury found for the plaintiff for 11. 18e. and also for 51. se. Mr. E. James, Q.C., now moved fora rule for a nonsuit, and stated the following fact.:—The plaintiff, about 4 p.m. on Saturday, went to th e Ce'diff Station and asked if he could be booked through to Nansens, and was told he could by a train then about to start. When be had been there before, the train started at 4.34, but on the occasion in question it did not arrive at Cardiff notil 6, and the consequence was that they mimed the mail train at Olonoester t and had to remain there until the same boor the next evening before they could go on with their journey. There was nothing bat the plaintiff's coml. lection as to the time at which the train skald leave Cardiff ; there was no time table produced, and for aught that appeared the time for starting the train might have been altered. Under the circumstances it was contended that that there was not sufficient evidence upon whioh to ground a notract that the train from Cardiff should catch the mail train at Gloucester. Rule granted. COURT OF EXCREQITER. Bittinp in Banat —(l3date Lard Chiefßaran Pollack and Barons Martin, Bramwell and Planet.) CROSLAND V. WOODBRAD.—LIZIF.L. . _ . This was a; action brought by Colonel Crodand, a candi date for Huddersfield at the next election, against Mr. Woodhead,the proprietor of a newspaper In that town, for a libel, charging him with fraud, fenny, and theft of pepsin. The publication of the libel arose out of a cootroveroy which hrl bees carried on in the borough upon what is known as the Huddersfield truant-right question. The case came on for trial at Guildhall, before Mr. Baron Martin, when Mfr. Coleridge, on the pa rt of the defendant, withdrew the charge, and apologised and for having published it. The terms of the re dictaton apology, which were very complete, were reduced to writing, acid signed by the counsel on each side, and by Mr. Clough, the defendant's attorney, who undertook to procure the defendant's signature to the document. The defendant, on being applied to, refused to sign, and led term the rule was obtained for the purpose of procuring his signature to the paper. Mr. Lash, Q.C., having shown cause against the rule, the case was adjourned until this term, in order that further affidavits might be filed. Mr. Bovill was now again beard in support of the rule, and said that Colonel Crosland would be perfectly satisfied if Mr. Woodhead dated through Mr. Lush that the charges he made were without foundation. Mr. Lush said his client bad already done so, and had moreover published the apology in his newspaper. After considerable discussion, in the course of which Mr. Baron Martin expressed the opinion that Colonel Crosland was no more guilty of the charges imputed to him than the most innocent person in court, and the Chief Baum observed that the apology was as ample and handsome a one as ever was made, it was agreed that the rule should be allowed to drop without costa on either ride.

The accounts, p»pared by Moore. Hart Brothers, show an aggregate liability of 40,0656, including a disputed debt of 16,0006 alarmed by Signor Ifurillo, of Port St. Mary, Spain. The assets are stated at 2,1006 in good debts &el Property i property held u security, 10651. The deficiency of nearly 20,0001. is composed in part of losses and expenses, 18,5001. Mr. Begley said that the swipes in this ewe was a pa. tlemen well known—M. Bloodui—who Irma cash aer of the bankrupt for upwards of 12,0001. for money deposited in his bands. The amounts had been carefully prepared by Hems. Hart, and the assignece thought that on further amounts; were necessary. It was therefore proposed that the bankrupt should pass hie examination, but that the order of discharge should be adjourned. Mr. Sergood appeared for creditors, and stated that opposition would be offered at the next sitting oa the ground of conduct. Mr. Brougb, on behalf of Mr. Shaw, a creditor, was de. thous of an adjouromest. Within the short period of 13 mouths the bankrupt had contracted debts of 40,0001. The amounts bad only been tiled 12 days, and the creditors who melded abroad could net have had tiros to examine them. The goods account embraced traessetioes to the amount of 67,0306 One of the largestcreditors, Mr. Murillo, claimed to be a creditor for 16,0001., but his proof wee objected to. His Honour held that it might be admitted u a claim. Mr. Joseph Hut, in his report on the bankrupt's se emote, stilted that they were vouched by the books, with the exception of about 2,0001. out of 67,000/. Mr. & R ee d, for the bankrupt, urged that he was entitled to pass on accounts so well vouched. His Honour thought that the creditors resident abroad Were entitled to time to exudes the amounts. However carefully they might have been prepared it would be injus tice to refuse the application for an adjournment. SHERIFFS' COURT, RED-LION-SQUARE. Motors Mr. Uader•Sherif Barebell aad a Jury.)

Vordiot acomilagly. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. (THIS DAY.) TIN MIITT MAIM. The trial of Mr. Terry and Mr. Burch was reamed this morning at 10 o'clock, before Mr. Justice Smith. Serjesat Parry addressed the jury for Mr. Teary. Rs g ig that the defendants bed no rearm to complain of ea* having preferred to go on with the case, as he wee qedg sure that the abates which had been adduced on Hs previous day had tended more than ever to istablid the anomie° of the defendants. He wee sum it in as feeling sealed the defendants that had lei the jay to decide upon having the CON fully invsetipted, sea he was quite sure, when the jury came perks* to understand the Cu. in all ice bearings, they would fully acquit the defendants. The charge sea/Lust the defewhate was sot one of ealiee sa is keeping the accounts, but that they conspired toitt6her to derive and defraud the thaw holders. It was often that culpable negligence might aid without a shadow g h ee ime ; but he would show that not even of culpable neies had they been guilty ; bat be impressed upon the jay to bear in mind that the defer dents were charged with • cambial offence. The Ids. dente, he said, were the servant@ of the dine. tors, Terry being appointed as manager by the directors ; and what be undertook to show was that the balance-sheet of June, 1862, on which the whole of the ease rested, was not the balance-sheet of the defendant., bat wee made with the full knowledge of the directors. The defendants bad no power to publish the balance-sheet ; it wee submitted to the directors, who could sad should hare every opportunity tic: e late every particle and item of it, and it madam to the Indian, and finally to the shareholders by the directors, and beyead all doubt that balanesehest was the balanceeheit of the directors and not of the defendants, who he again urged had not the slightest power to publish it. - That, he said, would be his defence whoa he called the attendee of the jury to the state of the beak at the time Mr. Terry assumed thenagement d it. There had been 32,0001. add expended is pal:misery expenses, which was a fearful item, and of which no one knew anything. 24,0001. had been invested in aloes, ie. ; and which now would not realise more than 9,0004 At the time Mr. Terry took the managemeet of the teak. 38,0001. had been lost, and besides that 23,0001. had beer lent to Mr. Alderman Medd, and them amounts left oily 32.000/ for the operations of the bank at the time Mr. Terry was appoiuted. When Mr. Ayr*, having called de attention of the other members to the difficulties the bank were in, insisted on the removal of Mr. Chambers, the bank ought to have been wound up, but he said it wee ad convenient to Mr. Alderman if °chi to pay back the 23,0004, and that was the reason the Main were not wound up. Ha therefore asked the jury to consider wall the position of the bank at the time Mr. Terry joined it, and what be had to de and what be mai responsible for. The bank was anew cm, and the cedars were in • very bad ooedition. The lAA Liss under Mr. Terry's management, both at the Qty and the West Brach, was 43,0004, and of that km 20,0001. was the loss of the West Breach by Br. Sykes, the manager, whose name was on the back of the bill; but who, for some motive on the part of the prosecution, bad not been called. If their statements were true, Mr. Sykes was a guilty a the defendant, but probably he had not givens palmtop lathe defendant bad, and there was no doubt the promoutioa was instituted to compel the Guarantee Society to pay the gu,rantee. The loss under Mr. Terry then was aridity only 23,0001. in Eve years, while that under Mr. Chambers, the previous manger, was 39,0001., and yet having dose all be could ln the interest of his employers, Mr. Terry was placed before them cm • criminal charge. Whatever had boa doss in reference to the keeping of the books, although he did not mean to justify Mr. Terry in that, there coda not be the slightest pretence for wag there was as fraud, or that he ever beneetted efarthag. It bad been said that Mr. Terry bad bad d l :liege with Mr. Sterne, one of the customers, but Mr. Sterne had paid the whole of hie debt with she exception of • small min, the chief of which was interest, and it had been admitted that he had offered Ha in the pound teethe • remainder. The learned counsel then proceeded to comma* upon the hots of the case, and contended that whatever might have been done there was not the slighted Fee team for supposing there bad been the slighted fraudulent intention, and that the parties who were rosily responsible were the directors, and not the defendants. Serjeant Bala:dine next addreesed the jay on behalf of the defendant Burch, his line of deform being pretty meth the same as that adopted on behalf of Mr. Terry.
