Bis . lea LONDON, MONDAY, JUNE 10. Two years ago the Indian Government created a sew Mrs per Cent. Stock, to the amount of which several large additions have since been made. That further issues will tale place hereafter is tolerably certain, for since the Sgt R/STIRT of STATE for taut♦ began to borrow in this form, he has overshadowed the railway companies—the result being that he is cow obliged to create more Five per Cent. Stock in order to make advances to them. Indian rail ways, it is scarcely necessary to say, are virtually government undertakings. It is just at this point that the competition of the India Five per Cent. Stock tells with severest force against the Funds. The conditions of that stock have been very shrewdly, even astutely, framed. It has ap parently been the aim of the Angle-Indian finan ciers to give it as much of the look of an English Government security as possible without actually committing the Imperial Treasury. They have accordingly sailed as near to the wind es they dared. They have assigned to the Bank of England the whole of the business connected with the pay ment of the dividends and with the transfer of stock. Let our readers procure the form of stock receipts issued by the Bank of England respec tively for the India Five per Cents. and for the Three per Cent. Consols, and it will be seen that in form, Sae, style of printing, and in every other respect, save in name, there is not merely a complete resemblance, but a studied imitation. Very likely it will be said that this resemblance is a mere trifle, which, no more than the feet of the dividends being payable at the Bank, entails any obligation on the British Exchequer. But we affirm, on the contrary, that it is no trifle to establish, in these and other respects, strong points of identity between the English and the Indian Funds, calculated to have great weight with ordi nary investors. It is no trifle when the authorities try astutely to throw the halo of the British Three, around the Indian Fives. And investors do quite right to avail themselves of the advantage which is held out to them through what we cannot help think ing a lack of moral courage on the part of the Government. The formal grant of the Imperial guarantee being withheld, 5 per cent. must be paid for money which might otherwise be raised at 31. Yet the glaring anomaly remains, that the British Exchequer escapes responsibility only in name. Let the holders of the Indian Five per Cent. Stock be left without their dividend, sad where would be, not the credit of India, but the credit of Great Britain which administers India Capitalists, large and small, have peened these matters in review often enough, and elect to take Indian Fives between 98 and 101, in preference to British Threes even at the reduced price of 90. They would rather have 8 per cent. interest at one counter at the Bank of England than 31 at another. This new Indian stock, in conjunction with other considerations, is working a complete re volution in the course of investment& The English (nods are quite overshadowed, and have lost their attraction. Indications in this sense are presented on every side. Even 31 per cent. interest on Ex chequer Bills will not make those securities float, though the CNA NetLLolt of the EXCIENOSI has gone so far as to give the holders the option of paying them in for taxes and duties, in lieu of money, during six mouths of the year. It is pretty evident that before long it will be necessary to fund a considerable amount of Exchequer Bills. The only real objection to this course would seem to be removed now that the unfunded costs relatively more than the funded debt ; but it is believed that the CNALN. CZLLoII of the EXCEI bent is endeavouring to avoid the step as long as possible. With this view, against the Exchequer Bills which have been sent in for money he has sold a considerable amount of stock belonging to the Savings Banks. TM supposition is that the Exchequer Bills which have been rejected by the public have been assigned to the account of the Savings Banks Commissioners. Whether the contingency of • funding can be per manently ►voided by these means is doubtful, for the price of the Exchequer Bills which are left afloat is still ate point discreditable to the Govern ment. The argument that neither the English Fends nor Exchequer Bills can maintain their ground against competing securities, particularly Indian and colonial, yielding much higher rates of interest, is further strengthened by the fact that the recent rise in the rate of interest on India Bonds from 4 to 4i per cent. does not prevent them from standing at a discount of to / per cent. in the market. As long as the public can get 5 per cent. from the Indian Government, they will not be content with 4/j. These are unquestionably the causes of the con tinued fall in the English Funds. The value of money is not at present at an exorbitant point, and the condition of home and foreign politic is not more disquieting than usual, yet Consols ate now quoted below 90. This is a degree of depression which has never hitherto been witnessed, save under the influence of some active alarm. At the monthly settlement in Consols last week the supply of stock was so large, that six and seven per cent. were paid for loans on this three per cent. security. The much greater relative depression of the Re duced and New Three per Cents, is, perhaps, a still more striking fact. These stocks were quoted THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 10, 1861. on Saturday at 89k, or one-half per cent. lower' than Consols. The discrepancy becomes equal to fully one per cent., considering that two months dividend (or 10a. per cent) has now accrued on the former. It is clear, therefore, that the low price of Consols is not the result of any adverse speculation, but that English Government Three per Cent. Stock is being forced to market steadily, and in considerable quantities, through the competition of other and more tempting securities, the chief of which is the India Five per Cents. The process is accelerated by the heavy incidence of taxation, and by the high cost of living, which causes fundholders and the investing classes to demand a higher rate of interest for their money than that with which they have hitherto been content. There is no improvement in the accounts from the internal seats of trade. In nearly every quarter there are complaints of dulness, although absolute depression is still confined to certain loca lities. But business generally is of a retail character ; manufacturers are unable to get rid of their stocks ; and employment is consequently becoming more restricted. The prospects of the supply of cotton continue to be discussed with great anxiety. Meanwhile, the receipt lad week of unfavourable accounts from the principal Indian markets, where considerable losses have been sustained on cotton goods, has produced an additionally gloomy impression in Manchester and its neighbourhood. Porte had consented to the complete union of the Danubian Principalities, and that an international conference will shortly assemble at Paris for the purpose of settling this question in a satisfactory manner. The National Central Commission has been convened. The Georgina barracks, valued at four millions, has been destroyed by tire. TURKEY. PARIS, Juin 9. The Paris papers of to-day publish • message from Constantinople dated the 6tbllinst, annunbc jug that Omer Pacha, immediately an arriving at Mostar, ordered measures to be taken to prevent the Montenegrins from perpetrating any further According to the same telegram an arrange ment had been signed at Constantinople between the delegates of the Bank of France and its debtors. The health of the Sultan had unproved. PARIS, MONDAY. The Gazette de France of to-day publishes a tele gram stating that in the recent fight between the Turks and the insurgents in the Herzegovina the former were defeated. Dervish Paella was march ing with 4,000 men against the insurgents, by whom his vanguard had been beaten. Hu troop were discouraged. The Begs or sub-governors of the provinces had refused to recognise the concessions made to the Christians by Omer Pacha's proclamation, as being in opposition to the dogmas of the Koran. to her flowers, was allowed to make a speech at the council held after Cavour's death, in which she said what the priests dictate to her about the Pope. A funeral service for Count Cavour will be per formed at the Madeleine to-morrow, in compliance with the desire of several Italian residents in Paris. The indipendanee says that Madame Ristori, who was a personal friend of Count Cavour, and who Lad received a special telegram informing her of his decease, caused to be placarded on the doors of the Italian theatre here, in which she was adver tised to play, " Closed in consequence of Count Cavour's death," but that the police took the bill down, and would not even allow one with a simple black border to be posted. Ultimately, as Madame Ristori positively refused to play, a placard with the word " Closed," and not giving any reason, was permitted. PARIS. SATURDAY EVININO. The Moniteur officially publishes the nomination of four new bishop., viz. :—M. Deguerry, curd of the Madeleine at Paris ' to the bishopric of Mar seilles ; M. Le Courtier, Canon of Notre Dame, to the sue of Montpellier ; M. Dubreuil, Superior of the Ecclesiastical College of St. Pons, to the bishop ric of Vannes ; and M. Colet, Vicar-General of Dijon ' to the see of Lugon. Deguerry, the new Bishop of Marseilles, has long been popular among his rich and fashionable parishioners who frequent the Madeleine. He is • tall handsome man, who will look well in episcopal' robes ; and this qualification, added to great fluency of speech, will doubtless commend him to the favour of a Southern population. He is no stranger to politics. In 1848 he showed himself a good deal in the clubs, took a leading part in opposing the election of the protestant minister Cuquerel, and argued that the best socialism was that of the gospel. He blessed • great many trees of liberty, and contri buted not a little to the maintenance of that har mony between the priesthood and the democratic mob which was a remarkable charazteristic of the epoch. The Moniteur says :—" Several journals have announced that the Emperor intends to go to Li moges at the beginning of next month. The state ment is completely devoid of foundation." I only know of this rumour by the Moniteur's contradiction. But I have reason to think that the Emperor is going early in July, not to Limoges, but to Vichy, where it is said Colonel Lepic is at this mo ment looking out for suitable lodgings. The waters of Vichy are greatly recommended for the chronic malady in the lumbar regions, which originally sent the Emperor to Plombibres, and from which he fre iquently suffers more or lees. But it is rumoured that on this occasion he goes to Vichy, from political rather than sanitary considerations. Cardinal I Grasaelini and the Duke de Gramont are to be there at the same time, and it is assumed, perhaps on very slight grounds, that Vichy is the spot chosen for an important conference on the affairs of Rome. M. Fould, on his return to Paris from London, started almost immediately for Fontainebleau, I where it is now said all the foreign ambassadors have been invited to spend a week. Prince Napo leon's tour will be abridged, the Emperor having expressed a wish that he should be in Paris by June 15 at the latest. I hear nothing more of the rumour of his going to Turin. At the Bourse to-day Consols were posted at a quotation indicating a rise of per cent. This improvement was thought unlikely, and the syndic telegraphed back to London to inquire whether the despatch was correct. He did not get the answer confirming the suspicion of an error till after the lapse of three-quarters of an hour, and in the mean time the Rente rose 20c. upon the strength of the false news. It is suggested that in order to avoid such very lamentable mistakes every telegram from the London Stock Exchange should convey rot only the actual quo tation of Consols, but the variation from the last price—thus affording a check which would materially diminish the chances of error. As soon as it became known that there bad been no rise in London the Rente dropped to yester- Iday's quotations, and even lower ; 'lnt it closed with tolerable firmness at 67.66 for cash, and 67.66 for account, being a fall of 50. in the first case, and a rise of Sc. in the latter. Railways left off with scarcely any change. A lithographed correspondence says that Count Cavour when ho felt his end approaching made a sort of political testament, written partly by him self and partly by the Chevalier Nigra at his dic tation, and of which Victor Emmanuel is made executor. He also wrote a very touching letter to the Emperor Napoleon, which is said to have already reached its destination. There is a talk of an official pamphlet on the present state of the Italian question. lam greatly afraid it will hark back to the old Villafranca scheme of a Confederation. HIJNGAB.Y. The Oat-Deutsche Post has the following : The debate oe the address in the Dist at Pestb has at last ' been brought to a close. M. Desk and his party have carried their point. An addl.= will be seat to the Emperor at Vienna. It is imporible as yet to Wiese what the practical results of this vote may be. M. Dsak's address maintains the laws of 1848, and consequently the purely personal union ; but nobody on this side of the Leith& can acoept that principle. In fact, the personal union can only be admitted under the two following suppositions : first, that the monarch should bean absolute sovereign, governing by his sole will in the two halves of the empire. This would be the very state of things existing from 1839 to 1861, the Bach system. The other hypothesis is, that the monarch should be a constitutional sovereign in one-half of his states, and an absolute sovereign in the other ; so that in one the ion would be compelled to M execute, by order, what populat ion decided in the other ; or else that the half .governed absolutely should furnish the means for nullifying the ros '. lotions of the constitutional half, or should consider them as void and of no effect. L'ltalie, of Turin, etatee that in the °ours° of Wednesday the Emperor of the Free& seat gee different inquiries by telegraph with regard to Count (Almon?' health. The Nord of to-day stake that the Grand Duke of Baden has just opened at Carlerhue the general synod of the Protestant Church, with a speech full of true Christian charity and enlightened patriotism. Amounts from Munich state that the marriage of Count de Trani with the Princess Matilda, Cache= of Bavaria, took place on the evening of the sth, in the court chapel. All the members of the ducal family were present except the Empress Elizabeth of Austria and Queen Mary of Naples. Baron de Schronk, the minister of the King's household, was the only member of the cabinet present, the ceremony being kept as a strictly private one, without any official state. On the day after the marriage his Majesty gave a grand family dinner in honore of the nemly-married ample. It is expected that the King and Queen of Freesia will leave Berlin for Boeigeberg at the end of thin week, and that the ancient ceremony of doing homage to the new occupant of the Pnualan throne will then take place there. The Ultramontane journals of Ireland offer re mark, upon the death of count Cavour, in harmony with those which fell from Mr. O'Donoghue in the House of Commons. The Nation says :—" Digitns Dei.—Groot Carom is dead ! He is the third of the eminent Italian annezers who has departed this life since the seizure of the property of the Holy See. 'We must go to Rome,' said the count only a short time ago. He has not gone to Rome ; but we hope he shall [sic] find mercy in the place he has poi to." The Dublin Murning New. exclaims :—" What as awful warning must not the sudden blow which his prostrated Cavour be to the other principals and accessories in the sacrilegious robbery of God', church. Far be it from vs to presume to point out the hand of Divine yen. panes in this unexpected visitation ; but who can hear of the sudden death of • man who has played such a part, and who, to his very last hour, 611 ed so large a space in the public mind without • thrill of awe ?

COUNT CAVOUR'S FUNERAL We find in the Italie of Turin, of Saturday, the following account of the funeral of Count Cavour : At • quarter past six the cortege left the house of the deceased. It is impossible to describe the pro found emotion which the crowd experienced on see ins the coffin containing the inanimate body of the great minister leaving the hoteL The hearse was drawn by six black horses ; the pall was held by the Minister of War, the Minister of Justice, the Vice-President of the Senate, M. Ratazzi, President of the Chamber of Deputies, General de Nunn:, and General Ciotti. The hearse was surrounded by the royal servant.. On the coffin were the insignia of the deceased, amongst which were ob served his hat as captain of engineers. Behind, the collar of the supreme order of the Annunciade was carried upon • cushion by a herald. Next came the chevaliers of the Order of the Annunciade ; the aides-de-camp of the King and the Princes, the ministers, the grand officers of state, the Senate, and the Chamber of Deputies in • body. We noticed Baron Ricasoli, in spite of his evident indisposition ; the principal members of the opposition, amongst ahem MM. Brofferio, Mauro-Macchi, Ricciardi, fr.c., the Coun cil of State, and the members of the Audit-office in black ; the Court of Appeal in red robes ; the Municipal corps escorted by the Municipal Guard, headed by the Syndic, and fol lowed by the servants of the city ; the University body to their robes, followed by all the students with their flag; the various corporations, lawyers, merchants, stock brokers, he. ; the Roman and Venetian refugees, carrying flags with the colours of Rome and Venice ; and • numerous detachment of Garibiddians, the majority of whom wore their red shirt ; the venom workmen's aro dations, each with its flag. We observed also deputations from various cities, one from Genoa, one from Omens, Sm. ; the tenant, of Leri and of the other estate' of the Caromr family , the domestic servants of that family, and of its different branches. The procession closed with isottadroa of Hussars of Piacenza on horseback. We saw mixed in the ranks a great number of eminent persons not connected with any corporation, several of whom were from the pro. vine'. It may be said without exaggeration that the en tire population of Turin formed the funeral cortifor of Count Cavour. At • quarter to 8 o'clock the guns announced the entry of the body into the church of Notre Dam des Asps. THE LAST HOURS OP COUNT CAVOUR. (now ova owx coassorowomax.) TURIN, FR/DAY. After my letter was posted yesterday evening, I communicated to you by the telegraph one or two very interesting particulars of the last hours of Count Cavonr. It is • fact, of which we should be pleased to hear, that the friend who most con stantly attended him in the last two days and nights of his illness, was that large-hearted and accomplished English gentleman who represents here officially the government of our Queen, and virtually the public spirit of our country. It was actually while supported in the arms of Sir James Hudson, the British ambassador, that the Prime Minister of Italy gave up his latest bresth ; it was by the hands of that sincere and steady companion who had watched him and encouraged him in his public career, that the lifeless form was laid down in the repose of all mortality, and the piUow was smoothed for that once mighty head, relieved of the cares of Italy and Europe, and racked no longer with busy arguments of state. The other circumstance of which I informed yon was this :—Although, as stated in my letter, Cavour had already sunk into mental unconsciousness at 10 o'clock in the evening, when the King and Prince Eugene di Cariguano visited his bedside, he had previously received the King at 5 o'clock, whilst yet able to recognise and talk with him. The moment Victor Emmanuel approached, Cavour stretched out his hand to take that of his Majesty, and raised himself a little, turning to kiss the King's hand ; but Victor Emmanuel, whose cheeks were bathed with tears, bent over the pillow, and repeatedly kissed the face of his departing minister; then a few words were exchanged between them—l know not what—but they seemed to be words of confidence and hope ; and the King, afflicted with all his people by the loss of an incomparable guide and servant, was forced to retire. I have learnt, on the testimony of persons who sat with Cavour in these last days, that during the intervals of fever, though a slight cerebral conges tion had attacked him, it was so far relieved that his intellect kept perfectly clear, and up to Wed nesday afternoon he was rather in a cheerful mood, saying many sportive things to those around him. Yet on the Tuesday evening, it is reported, he said to his niece, "To-morrow it will be all over with me." The Capuchin, for whom he sent on Wednesday morning, several hours before the medical advisers had declared him to be imminent peril of death, was Fra Gia como, of the convent of Madonna degli Angell, which is at the end of the street. This Fra Giacomo, who had been intimately known to Cavour for years past, is an upright, liberal man, as I am told; one of thoroughly loyal and Italian senti ments, whose resolution and vigour of mind bad been proved in a secret mission to Venice during the late war. He hastened to assure the dying patriot, whose thoughts and motives were familiar to him from many previous interviews, that he could at once and safely, without more ado, g.ant the form of absolution. "Ah, to mi credi onest 'uomo, dunque ; n' e vero, Giacomo P [" Ah ! you believe me then to be an upright man ; is it not true, Giacomo 11 replied Cavour, with his old smile of calm expansive satisfaction—that smile perhaps which I saw upon his face last week in the Chamber, when I saw him for the last time. (azonall TURIN, Jon 9. The remains of Count Cavour have been trans ported to Villa Santana. It is believed that they are only proviaionally deposited there. A subscription has been ()pound among the bankers of Genoa and Turin for erecting a monu ment to Count Cavour.

TURIN, Jams & The Official Gazette of to-day confirms that the King has ordered the remains of Count Cavour to be interred in the Basilica of Superga.

Keller, who by his maiden speech on the oc casion of the address acquired a considerable repu tation for oratory, was so far emboldened by his first success as to make a much more elaborate on alaught upon the government yesterday. He took advantage of his right to speak upon the budget of the Minister of the Interior to review the whole policy of the empire ab ow, and he attacked it as being at once anti-catholic, despotic, and revolu tionary. He roundly charged the government with having invented the Marseilles plot against the Emperor's life several years ago, and that for the purpose of striking terror and extinguishing liberty. He denounced the alliance made with the Italian revolution in 1859, and indulged in much bitter in vective against Garibaldi and his partisans. The whole press of France, be said, with the exception of a few religious journals, was organised by the Minister of the Interior for the purpose of propagating revolutionary and anti-catholic doctrines. He designated the Si&le and Opinion Nationale especially as organs used for those ends. The subversive principles of the government had even penetrated the sacred precincts of the judicial bench. As an illustration of the latter charge he stated that a prosecution instituted against the Opinion Nationale by a mayor and • sub-prefect, who were alluded to in a ribald fewilleton of M. About's by the names of Souerkrant and Ignatius, had been burked by the judges at the request of the executive power, because the Opinion had already one condemnation scored up against it, and would have been extinguished by a second. The attack upon the judges occasioned several vehement interruptions, to which M. Keller replied that he was certain that the prosecution had been quashed. M. Abbattucci said that the only reason was that the prosecutors had withdrawn their complaints. M. Keller insisted that except in the case of adultery, a prosecutor could not stay a prosecution once commenced, but on this head his law was cor rected by M. Abbattucci and M. Baroche, who stated, and were not contradicted, that a prosecu tion for a private libel fell to the ground by the withdrawal of the party aggrieved. M. Baroche, who was on the ministerial bench, at the same time complained that the wholesome practice of giving previous notice of a complaint on a matter of fact, which prevailed in England, and was always customary in the old parliaments of France, had not been complied with. He knew nothing whatever of the alleged facts concerning X. About. K Keller, who seemed to have got his speech by heart, went on without apparently altering the form of his phrases in consequence of any inter ruptions. He proceeded to charge the government with systematic persecution of the clergy, and ho alleged that the recent prosecution of two libels upon the church was only resorted to in order to get up a paragraph for the Mortiteur just before the debate was coming on. His speech, which, in con sequence of its extreme length, was latterly listened to with much impatience, lasted till 6 o'clock, an hour beyond which the house scarcely ever sits. When he had finished Count de Morny addressed him in the following terms : X. Keller, you have frequently alluded to the gospel ; let me tell you what the gospel preaches; it is conciliation, in dulgence, moderation, and the pardon of injuries, and these were the doctrines which, at the birth of the church, ensured its triumph. I would recommend those who con sider themselves the representatives of catholic opinions in the chamber to give more frequent examples of these doctrines. (Applause.) The debate on the budget of the Interior was adjourned till Monday, when M. E. 011ivier and M. Granier de Cassagnac propose to speak. In the Meniteur of June 7, p. 826, there occurs a misprint, the effect of which is to put into the mouth of Count de Morny some expressions hostile to Italy, which were in reality used by an obscure ultramontanist member, the Count de la Tour. Although the error is patent to every attentive reader, it seems to have misled a portion of the public, for the Independence says that on the strength of it there wars rumours in Paris that, immediately after a council of ministers at Fon tainebleau, Count de Morny had said publicly that the dream of Italian unity was over, and that French troops would continue to guard Rome. Now these are the very expressions used by M. de la Tour, and printed by the Moniker as if they had been uttered by the President. It appears that the Empress, who had much better been attending AMERICA. The British and North American Royal Mail steamship Europa, Anderson commander, arrived in the Mersey yesterday afternoon, with the mails from Boston to the 29th, Halifax to the 30th, and telegraphic advice+ from New York yid Halifax to the evening of the 30th ult. She brought 187 passengers, including 109 soldiers. The steamships America and Etna hence, and New York from Southampton, had arrived out. The papers by the Europa express the deepest chagrin at the policy of England and France. The New York Tribune threatens England with • stoppage of all cotton exports to Liverpool ; and of France it says :—"This wilful ignoring of the lofty claims of the American government—this indifferent choosing between Christ and Barabbsa—will not strengthen the regard we are accustomed to entertain for the people and the government of France. It might even appear ad visable to withdraw the exequatur of all the French consuls in the seceding states. Our business in this deplorable con test is to prove we have a government —a proof that seemu to be as much needed at Patin s at New Orleans." It would appear that an advance on Harper's Ferry was contemplated by the Federal troop. At Alexandria the troops were engaged in constructing strong defensive works, and the 69th Regiment, on Arlington Heights, had thrown up an earthwork one mile long and seven feet high. A con. Womble quantity of arms and ammunition had been die. covered concealed in Alexandria. The pickets there were fired upon on the night of the 24th, but no deluge was done. An alarm, however, was given, and the troops slept on their arms the remainder of the night. Martial law bad been declared in Alexandria and its vicinity. Additional troops were almost hourly palming over from Washington into Virginia, and the force there was estimated at MOM It is stated that thelgovernment had determined to order 20000 more troops to rendezvous at Washington. At For. true Monroe there were reported to be 6,000 Federal trocps under Major-General Butler. He had made a reaen mimeo@ between the James and York rivers, as far as some of the Confederate pickets. Three slaves, the property of Colonel Mallory, bad been brought in by • picket.guard. They represented that they were about to be sent South, and hence sought protection. Major Carry came in with a flag of truce, and claimed their rendition under the Fugitive Slave Law, but was informed by General Butler, that, under the peculiar circumstances, he consi dered the fugitives contraband of war, and had set them to work inside the fortress. Colonel Mallory was politely informed that so soon as he should visit the fortress and take a solemn oath to obey the laws of the United States, his property would promptly be restored. Another party came in with • flag of truce, but with no better success. Five transports, with 2,500 troops. convoyed by the Harriet Lau, went up Hampton Roads towards James River, and took posession of Newport Point and entrenched themselves. The position is important, as it commands the mouth of the James River, about six miles from Hampton. The last transport was fired at by the Sewall's Point rifled cannon, but the range was too great to be effective. A bloodless skirmish, which took place between • roving body of Confederates and the Federal pickets, created immense alarm in Washington, and • signal of three guns was fired, which immediately put all the troops in the district under arms, and • large body was throws scram the Potomac into Virginia, ready to take part in any duty which might be required. The rapidity and certainty with which these Ridden movements were accomplished are re presented to have been absolutely astonishing. Infantry, artillery, and cavalry were in arms and across the Long Bridge, proceeding in the direction of the supposed dan ger, in the shortest possible time. It was soon smertained that the alarm was • false one, and the greater portion of the troops returned spin to Washington. The Sixtrninth New York Regiment, however, which occupies Arlington Heights, which was being fortified, were under arms all night, in anticipation of an attack from • body of Con federates at Culpepper Court-house. Information has been received that over 2,030 Ohio troops from Camp Dennison had taken possession of the North- Western Virginia Railroad, from Parkersburg to Grafton, distance eighty miles, and proceeded in the latter direction. A large number of Ohio troops crossed the river three miles from Wheeling, for the some destination. Mast of the people coming from Alexandria, at Washing ton, brought away mementos of the place. The oil-cloth OP the ball where Ellsworth fell has been cut up and divided. Os some pieces the blood was as thick as a knife-blade. Pitess of the stein, covered with his blood, were also cut off and brought away. The burial of Col. Illawoeth took place at Mechanicsville, his native place, with the most solemn and impressive ceremonies. On its way through Albany, the body laid is state a short time at the Capitol, to which it had been escorted with funeral honours by the civil au thorities and the military of the city. A regiment of Federal troops had landed at Acquid ()reek, Virginia, without opposition. _ _ The Border States Convention assembled at Frankfort on the 27th. Mr. Wickliffe's resolution was adopted, for the appointment of a committee to consider the subject for which the convention WM called, and also Mr. Critten• den's original amendment, proposed in the Senate of the United States, with such amendments WI will secure the slave states just and equal rights under the constitution. Full delegations were arriving from Kentucky and Missouri, but from no other states. In accordance with the discretion vested in the Pasteur ter-General by Congress at its last session, he bad deter mined to discontinue the mail service in the states of Vir gin* North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, •nd Texas, from and after the 31st ult. Western Virginia WWI excepted from the provisions of the order, and the letters for that locality would be sent to Wheeling for proper distributioa. All other letter directed to seceded states would be de. posited in the dead-letter °Moe at Washington. Tennessee wee not included in the list of states given above—ber se cession not being regarded as complete. Among the mires brought into New York since the sailing of the last mail were the barque Pioneer, from Liver. pool, bound to Norfolk, with (as reported) a cargo of salt; and the schemers Raxall and Creenehaw, with cargoes of tobacco. Preliminary proceedings only had been com menced. The Quaker City had towed into Baltimore as a prim the barque Winifred, of Richmond, from Rio Janeiro, laden with coffee. A brig, the Elisha, Doane, arrived at Boston from Sattello River, Georgetown, had reported having been e.iptured by a Confederate privateer schooner, and taken to Brunswick. She was, however, released by order of Governor Brown, for soma reason not stated. The captain also reported that the schooner flume had been seized and confiscated as a Prim _ From the Confederate camp at Harper's Ferry a report coulee that they had thrown a large mass of ruck across the railroad and into the canal, at Point of Rocks, ten miles from Harper's Ferry. No freight titans were running. The Confederates were using the track between the Point of Rocks and Harper's Ferry, to transport troops and munitions. The latest advices from Williamsport, Virginia, state that the Confederate camp there had been reinforced with men and artillery. The camp was guarded with gr,at care, and much mystery prevailed about the movements of the forces. The Pensacola correspondent of the Motile kirerfiser rye Lord Lyons had written to the British consul at Penn cola, recognising the blockade in the name of the British government, and warning English vessels of its effect. General Pillow had called upon the Tennessee contingent of the Confederate forces to rendezvous at Jackson, M.eldi. moo leaving for immediate service. Jackson in a great rail road centre, and one of the roads leads direct from that place to Columbus, Kentucky, which is only twenty miles below Cairo. This order was doubting issued with a view to making an immediate demonstration upon Cairo, but the proclamation of Governor M tiofn, of Kentucky, fcrbidding the passage of troops across the state, which has nines boss issued, has probably interfered somewhat with General Pillow's plans, and rendered necessary some other mode of procedure. The voting returns from Western Virginia exhibit lloioll majorities. From California it is reported that the union feeling n's very strong throughout the state, and that volunteer , 00l• penile were forming for the Federal service. BY TELEGRAPH, VIA HALIFAX.
