THE CIVIL WAR IN AMERICA. LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY. The Royal mail steamship Europa, Capt. Cook, which sailed from Boston on the 11th, and which touched at Halifax on the night of the 12th, arrived in the Mersey this morning. A telegraphic summary of her news was sent from Queenstown, and published in our Evening Edition on Saturday. The New York Herald of the 10th gives the fol lowing summary of the situation on that mornin r. " Where is nothing of importance to-day i; xom ° The state of the ' weather Gen.. M.‘Clellan's army . and the country around absolutely protAitE, imme diate action, although' some skirwishing is con tinually going on. " rievtral despatches received Baltimore from See,thern papers report that rJur troops had landed on, the 4th inst. at :f ames - island, opposite Charles. ton ; that a battle toot place there, nd they claim a victory. 'Later despatches, dated the same day, say that our men blul landed in large force on Bat tery Isl And and J r.ihn Island, and were then in front of General 01,t, the rebel leader, under cover of our g ul lb°P:cs. An immediate advance on the city was they considered imminent. Our forces are advancing steadily up the Missis tippi river from New Orleans. The Vicksburg Whig of the 4th says that the Federals have landed 6,000 troops at Baton Rouge. The Memphis Avalanche, of the 6th, says that all the bridges between Memphis and Humboldt have been destroyed. " The news from the south-west teems with stories of victory for the Union arms and disaster to the rebels. A despatch from Louisville, yes terday, says that our forces now occupy Baldwin, Guntown, Jackson, and Bolivar, and that the railroad repairs are progre ssing rapidly. " The enemy passed Guntown on Sunday night, retreating southward from Baldwin. It is esti- Mated that 20,000 have deserted since they left Corinth, mostly from Kentucky, Tennessee, and Ar kansas regiments. All the regiments from those states passed down closely guarded on both sides by Mississippians and Alabamians. 4 , It is believed by the people that Ts eaur egard cannot enter Columbus with half the troops he brought down from Corilith. The whole country north and east of Baldwin is full of armed soldiers returning to Tennessee and Kentucky. General Pope telegraphs from the advance that the prisoners, who first desired to be exchanged, now want to take the oath. The rebels drove and carried off everything for milea around. The wealthiest families are destitute and starving, women and children are crying for food, and all the males are forced into the army. " The advance of Gen. Fremont's army reached Harrisonburg on Saturday afternoon and drove Jackson's rearguard from the town. Col. Bayard's cavalry and Kanch Pennsylvanian Rifles followed them. The later suffered severely, losing Lieut.- Col. Kane, who w 0.2 wounded and captured, toge ther wiah Col. Wyndham, of the Ist New Jersey cavPAiry. Jackson is thought to have left the main rrAtd, and has either halted the main column for battle or greatly strengthened his rear guard, and posted his trains, which are in confusion, on the road." General M'Clellan had furnished to the War Department a statement of the Federal losses in killed, wounded, and missing at the battle of Fair Oaks. He estimates the loss iu the aggregate at s,739—namely, 890 killed, 3,627 wounded, and 1,222 missing. The Richmond Dispatch of the 4th instant sets down the Con& :aerate loss at 8,000, and that of the Federals fr",An 12,000 to 20,000, .including many prominerA men. The Confederates also lost a large numhP,r of officers, including 5 generals, 23 colonels, 10 raajors,and 57 captains, killed or taken prisoners. The particulars of the capture of Memphis had been received at Washington from Commodore Ds.•ois. He states that a battle took place between nisi Hest, aided by Col. Ellett's ram flotilla, awl the Confederate fleet of eight gunboats and rams. The engagement commenced at half-past five on the morning of the 6th and ended at seven in a running fight, the end of which was the capture of four vessels of the Confederate fleet, the sinking of two, and the burning of one. One escaped by superior speed. Colonel Ellett, who was seriously but not dangerously wounded, was highly compli ment for his gallantry and skill. After the return of the gunboats from the engagement Commodore Davis sent the following note to the mayor of the city— "United States Flag Steamship Barton, off Memphis, June 6. " have respectfully to request that you will surrender the city of Memphis to the autho rity of the United States, which I have the honour to represent.—l am, Mr. Mayor, with high respect, your obedient servant, " C. N. DAVIS, Flag Officer." In reply, the Mayor said—" Your note received, and in reply, I have only to say, as the civil autho rities have no means of defence, by the force of cir cumstances, the city is in your hands." The city was quiet. No demonstrations what ever had been made. It was even asserted that it would not be necessary to declare martial law. Five of the Federal gunboats were lying abreast of the city. Advices to the 7th had been received from Memphis, at which time the excitement consequent on the occupation of the city had almost entirely subsided. The following are Col. Fllett's official dispatches : " TO THE HON, EDWIN STANTON, SECRETARY AT WAR. " Opposite Memphis, June 6. " The rebel gun boats made a stand early this morning, opposite Memphis, and opened a vigorous fire upon our gun boats, which was returned with equal spirit. an other, also injured by the fire of our gun b oa t s - was pushed into shore and secured by the Monarch. Of the gun boats, I Call only say that they bore themselves, sq our Dr.vy always does, bravely and well. Furth:er " CHARLES ELLET r, Jun., Colonel Commanding Ram Fleet." eventF- particulars have been received of the sent , which followed the occupation of Harrison bur- b , g y ueneral Fremont. The Federal cavalry, to reconnoitre, fell into an ambuscade and sriffered severely. The Federals, however, were afterwards reinforced, and a fight took place with Jackson's rear, which was found to be very strong. The Confederates brought up artillery and drove the Federals back. " I ordered the Queen, rdy flag ship, to pass be tvrem the gun boats, and run down ahead of them upon the two rams of the enemy, which first boldly stood their ground. Colonel Ellett, in the Monarch, of which Capt ai n D ryden is first master, followed gallantly. Tho rebel rams endeavoured to back d o wn stream, and then to turn and run, but the movement was fatal to th em . Th e Q ueen struc k one of them fairly, and, for a few minutes, was fast to the wreck.

She then the Bea n . pushed on and st ruc k regard and burst in her side. Simultaneously the Beauregard was struck in the boiler by a shot from one of our gunboats. The Monarch then pushed at the gunboat Little Rebel, the rebel flag ship, and having but little headway, pushed her before her, the rebel commodore and' crew escaping. The Monarch then, finding the Beauregard sinking, took her in tow until sbe sank in shoal water. Then, in compliance with the request of Colonel Davis, Lieut.- Col. Ellett despatched the Monarch and Switzer land in pursuit of the remaining gunboat and some transports which had escaped the gunboats, and two of my rams have gone below. " I cannot too much praise the conduct of the pilots and engineers and military guard of the Monarch and Queen, the brave conduct of Captain Dryden, or the heroic conduct of Lieut.-Colonel Ellett. I will name all parties in special report. "I am myself the only person in my fleet who was disabled. " CHARLES ELLETT, Jun., Cnlnnel Commanding Kam Fleet." n "' 4 • "• M. RTATTTON, SFCTIETAItY OF wAil, Jackson subsequently continued.ht - retr eat. The following despatch had been received at the War Department by telegraph from Front Royal : " TO HON. E. M. STANTON, SECRETARY OF WAR. " Head , quarters, Mountain Department, Army in the Field, Harrisonburg, June 7, 1862. " The army reached this place at two o'clock yes terday, driving out the enemy's rear guard from the town. Severe skirmishing continued from that timo till dark, the enemy's rear being closely pressed by our advance. At 4 o'clock the First New Jersey Cavalry, after driving the enemy throu g h th e v ill age, fell i nto an ambuscade in the road s , t o t h e south - east of the town, in which Col. Wyndham, of that regiment,was captured, and considerable loss was sustained. " Col. Cheseret, with his brigade, subsequently engaged the enemy in the timber, driving him from his position and taking his camp. "At about 8 o'clock a battalion of Col. Kane's Pennsylvania Regiment entered the woods, under the direction of Brigadier-Gen. Bayard, and main tained for half an hour a vigorous attack (in which both sides suffered severely), driving the enemy. The enemy attempted to shell our troops, but a few shots from one of our batteries soon silenced hig guns. "After dark the enemy continued his retreat. " Full particulars will be forwarded by mail. "J. C. FREMONT, Major •General." "The following are additional particulars of the fight : "Harrisonburg, June 6. " The advance guard of General Fremont reached Harrisonburg this afternoon, at two o'clock. There was no fighting during the march. " Jackson camped here last night, and left this morning. A cavalry force was sent on a reconnois sance four miles beyond the town, which came on a large rebel force of cavalry and infantry strongly posted in the woods. Col. Wyndham, who had pushed the reconnoissance three miles further than ordered, rashly led forward the First New Jersey Cavalry, and was driven back by infantry in ambush. Col. Wytaam is a prisoner, and Captains Shell inure and Haines killed or severely wounded and prisoners. Capt. Charles is missing. All the offi cers bravely and vainly endeavoured to rally their men, Capt. Janeway gallantly attempted a flank ing movement, which covered the retreat of the first battalion. He is unhurt. The regiment lost 35 in killed, wounded, and missing. " General Bayard, with the BucktaiP or Kane Rifles, and Ist Pennsylvania cavalry, and Chese ret's brigade of the 60th Ohio and Bth Virginia, were ordered forward to the support, and drove the body of the enemy from their 'position, and cap- tured their camp and some stores, with loss. " The Kane Rifles, numbering over 125 men, found themselves opposed and flanked in the woods by four regiments of infantry and cavalry, and before they could be withdrawn suffered severely. Lieut.-Colonel Kane is severely wounded and a prisoner. Captain Taylor was also wounded and captured. Captain W. F. Blanchard was wounded severely. Lieut. J. J. S. Wayne was probably killed. " After a most gallant fight the Rifles were driven back, with a loss of 55 killed, wounded and missing. The rebels brought up their artillery, and used it, wiat arcut. " Jackson is thought to have left the main road, and has either halted the main column for battle or greatly strengthened his rear guard, and posted his trains, which are in confusion, on the road." The following is the latest despatch of General Fremont : " TO E. M. STANTON, SECRETARY OF WAR. "Head-quarters of the Army in the Field,Camp near Fort Republic, June 8, 9 a.m. " The army left Harrisonburg at six o'clock this morning, and at half-past eight my advance engaged the rebels about seven miles from that place, near Union Church. The enemy was very advantage ously posted in the timber, having chosen his own position, forming a smaller circle than our own, and with his troops formed en masse- It con sisted undoubtedly of Jackson's entire force. The battle began with heavy firing at eleven o'clock, and lasted with great obstinacy and and violence until four in the afternoon, some skirmishing and artillery firing continuing from that time till dark. Oar troops fought occasionally under the murderous fire of greatly superior num bers, the hottest of the small arms fire being on the left wing, which was held by Staple's (?) brigade, consisting of fivo regiments. The bayonet and canister shot were used freely and with great effect by our men. The loss on both sides is very great; ours is very heavy among the officers. "A fuil. report of those who distinguished them selves will be made without partiality. I desire to say that both officers and men behaved with splen did gallantry, and that the service of the artillery was especially admirable. " We are encamped on the field of battle, and the fight may be renewed at any moment. Signed "J. C. FREMONT, Major-General." The Richmond Enquirer, of June 4, contains the following address of President Davis to the army:-- " TO TUE ARMY OF RICHMOND.

" I render to for the gallantry and good conduot you displayed in the battles of the 31st May and Ist instant, and with pride and pleasure recognise the steadiness and intrepidity with which you attacked the enemy in position, captured his advanced entrenchments, several batteries of artillery, and many standards, and everywhere drove them from the open field. " At a part of your operations it was my fortune to be present. On no other occasion have I wit nessed more of calmness and good order than you exhibited while advancing into the very jaws of death, and nothing could exceed the prowess with which you closed upon the enemy when a sheet of fire Was blazing in your faces, "In the renewed struggle in which you are on the eve of engaging I ask and can desire but a con tinuance of the same conduct which now attracts the admiration and pride of the loved one you have left at home, "You are fighting for all that is dearest to men ; though opposed to a foe who disregard many of the'n ee Iteir of civilised war, your humanity to the wounded and the ing glory to poor prisoners was the fit and crown valour.

The following further accounts have been re ceived of the fight near Harrisonburg : General Jackson made u sudden dash at General Shields' advance, whic'a was hurrying to General Fremont's assistance. The advance being the in ferior force was compelled to fall back on the main body of General Shields' command. The battle was severe, and the loss on both sides heavy. General Jackson after the engagement resumed his retreat, burning Fort Republic bridge in his rear. The Louisville correspondent of the zfw York Herald has information that the Confederate Gene. ral Kirby Smith is marching with a large force on g Nashvillegoes, and from rou si nKg the nox rebel s of E s ville, s t e h as he It is also suspected Br" . . — " t ' uat a portion of Beaure gard's), nas reinforced General Smith. 1 The Federal force at Nashville is small. The same correspondent says that all over Ken tucky preparations are being made to afford aid to the advancing Confederates, who, it is expected, will reach the northern limits of that state. General M'Clellan has received a reinforcement of 20,000 men. It is reported that 60,000 more will be sent to him. Mr. Vincent Collier will return to Newbern and re-open the coloured schools, President Lincoln having informed him that ho would not in future be interfered with. A private despatch from Cairo states that the Federal General Mitchell had routed the Confede rates at Chantanooga, Tennessee, after two days' fighting. Reports from M'Clellan's head-quarters, dated the 11th inst., state that the weather still continues unfavourable for military operations. It has rained every other day for the last two weeks. The waters of the Chickahominy have not re ceded, and the roads are in a terrible condition. Letters from M'Clellan's army generally repre sent that there will be some delay before the attack on Richmond commences. The correspondent of the New York, Times says that at the battle of Fair Oaks 1,100 out of 5,000 men in General Casey's division were killed, wounded, or missing. The Federal General Buell, with 60,000 men, is reported at Gantown in pursuit of the Confederates under General Polk. The Federal General Thomas is at Corinth, reno vating the city to make it habitable for troops. Federal Generals MaeL earnand and Wallace were at Purdy with 20,000 men. It is reported from Memphis that the Confede rates destroyed a large quantity of cotton at Madi son and Witsburg, on the St. Francis river. Commodore Farragut's fleet is said to have passed Vicksburg, but was compelled to return be low the city on- account of low water. According to the Memphis Avalanche all promi nent people have left Memphis. All the banking institutions, with their presidents, have also left, as well as all telegraph operators and the postmaster. Civilians only whose duties and inclination for domesticity have made their business their home remain in Memphis. The governor of Virginia has ordered all stores in Richmond to be closed daily at two o'clock to enable those in business to devote a portion of each day for necessary drill and discipline. _ _ _ The second class militia is ordered to assemble daily in Richmond, on Capitol-square, at three o'clock. The Secretary of the Treasury, in a letter to the committee on ways and means, says that— " 60,000,000 of demand notes receivable for cus toms have been issued, and 90,000,000 not so re ceivable. The outstanding amount is therefore 150,000,000, " The bank and capitalists hold 56,500,000 dols. in demand notes, which are not used in circulation in consequence of their being held at premium, be cause they are available for customs. " The whole issue of 60,000,000 demand notes is thus practically withdrawn from circulation. " The limit of temporary deposits is now reached. Nothing further can be expected from that source." It is, therefore, upon the conversion of United States notes into five and twenty hundredths, now practically limited to the 90,000,000 demand notes and from customs receipts that the Treasury must mainly depend for means to meet current expendi ture. Hence the Secretary of the Treasury asked au thority to issue 150,000,000 additional demand notes of not less denomination than 5 dols. In accordance with this suggestion the committee of ways and means reported the bill to Congress authorising the issue of 150,000,000 additional demand notes. The judiciary committee have reported a bill to Congress to establish provisional governments in rebellious states, with a recommendation that the bill be passed. Private letters to the New York World from No rfolk state that all the able-bodied men of Norfolk are in the Confetlerate army : " Residents of Norfolk are old men, women, and children. No man of any respectability in Norfolk has yet taken the oath of allegiance. The few that have done so are despised and shunned even by the Federal officers." The writer continues— " M'Clellan stands no chance of ever capturing Richmond. He has been beaten in every encoun ter with the Confederates in the peninsula. He has already lost by battle and sickness 50,000 since he landed at Old Point, whilst he has not got within range of the batteries erected for the defence of Richmond." A writer in the same paper, commenting on this letter, says it is at variance with all the informa tion received in the Northern States ; but he be lieves it to he a fair statement of how matters ap pear to the writer of the letter, who is a Southern man resident in Norfolk ; and ho says that the in sertion of the letter will prove that the Federals are willing to look at both sides of the question. The Federal commander of the frigate Santee formally demanded the surrender of Galveston, Texas, on the 17th ult. The Confederate com mander of Galveston replied that when the Federal land and naval officers appeared the demand would be answered. The Confederate commander advised the people of Galveston that there was no danger. When the Federals landed, and endeavoured to penetrate into the interior, they would be fought on every inch of ground. In the meantime all the population should be ready to take the field at a moment's warning. The foreign consuls communicated with the Fe deral commander to fix upon some point that might be respected during a bombardment as a place of refuge for foreignsubjects. The Federalcommander replied that he should deplore the misery that would ensue from the bombardment of Galveston and its fortifications ; but it was a duty that would become necessary to enforce the surrender. He could not give any assurance of security during the bombardment, for it was impossible to tell what directions shot and shell might take. At the latest date from Galveston, the 23d ult. no bombardment had taken place. General Butler has arrested Pierre Soule in New Orleans on a political charge, and he would imme diately be sent North. General Butler; has ordered the officials of the Southern Bank to pay all the depositors upon de• mand in such money as is directed by and according to the provisions of his General Order, No. 30, which has already been published. In Congress Mr. Bingham has presented a reso lution declaring that the Federal Government had information that Benjamin Wood, a member of the house of Representatives, had attempted to com municate important intelligence to the rebels, and demanding an investigation of the matter.

The powder was prepared by the sons in a garden, some distance from their private dwelling, and, as occasion required, conveyed in a cab to the manufactory. This afternoon a quantity of pola der, supposed to be about 101 b., was brought to the works, and at half-past four taken down to the cel• lar by Thomas and Richard Walker. The cellar was about seven feet below the ground floor or level of the street, and contained an iron safe for the re ception' of the powder. Every precaution was used in depositing the powder in this apartment, candles were not permitted to be used, and every care was taken to prevent contact with hard substances or friction of any kind. In taking the powder to the cellar this afternoon the brothers were accompanied by a confidential clerk and stamper named Buck ley, and a dark protected lantern was used to light the party. While engaged in conveying the compo site to or depositing it in the safe a terrific explo sion took plaee i from what cause has not been as certained, but the effect of which was the total de struction of the works. The report was heard at the distance of a mile, and a second crash satisfied those in the neighbourhood that Walker's manufactory was a heap of ruins. From the complete destruction of the premises and the impossibility of escape, it was at once concluded that Messrs. R. and T. i Walker and the stamper, Buckley, were buried in the cellar, and such was subsequently found to be the case, although their bodies were not recovered for several hours afterwards. With the fall of the premises nearly all the workpeople were precipitated to the ground floor, most of them covered with the debris, and sustaining severe injuries, and a man em ployed in the adjoining factory of Messrs. Heeley was killed on the spot by the falling of a staircase. Four persons who were passing along the street at the time of the explosion were knocked down and almost covered with the fallen brickwork, and were with difficulty extricated from their perilous posi tion. After the arrival of the police, and with the assistance of a body of labourers, the unfortunate workpeople were by degrees released from the debris and removed as speedily as possible to the General Hospital. Altogether 25 injured persons were re• moved to that institution, and received prompt me dical assistance from Doctors Baker, Bolton, Bracey, and Goodhall. Notwithstanding the removal of so many of the workpeople to the hospital, and a knowledge of the fact that some had escaped unin jured, it was feared that many were yet buried be neath the ruins. Additional assistance having been obtained, the debris was gradually removed, when the body of a young woman was discovered much mutilated, and it was afterwards removed to an ad joining public-house with that of Biddulph, a work man employed at Messrs. Heeley's factory. Towards 11 o'clock the labourers had reached the cellar, where they found the bodies of Mr. Richard and Mr. Thomas Walker, the former mutilated in the most frightful manner. At the time of the explosion Mrs. Walker happened to be at home, and her son Mr, John Walker and one of her daughters were also absent. Two of the daughters, however, were in the office at the time, and both were so seriously injured as to render their removal to the hospital necessary. It is satisfactory, however, to state that both are recovering, and may be said to be out of Idanger. Altogether seven lives were lost, and 30 persons more or less injured by the catastrophe. AN AWKWARD INTERVIEW WITH A LUNATIC. (From the Northampton Free Press.) went to the police station, and in a few minutes Ser geant Cornwall was at Mr. Corby's shop. Having earnt the state of affairs, he got two other police men, and they all three waited for Mr. Mead's arri val. The latter had not left the shop more than half an hour when he returned, and with great judgment and care was seized by Sergeant Cornwall round the arms from behind. He went quietly to the sta tion-house, when the knife was found upon him; On Thursday morning he waslbrought before the magistrates, when he admitted the correctness of Mr. Corby's statements, and again affirmed that he was inspired. A medical certificate was signed by Mr. Terry, and he was sent to the Northampton Lunatic Asylum. On Wednesday last, about eight o'clock in the I evening, the family of Mr. Geo. Corby, bookseller, of the Drapery, of this town, were placed in a con siderable state of alarm by a most eitraordinary oc currence. About the time above-named, Mr. Pre derick Mead, a highly respectable and intelligent working-man, went into Mr. Corby's shop, and told him he wished to speak to him two minutes privately. Mr. Corby was busy at the time, asked him to wait a short time. When Mr. Corby was at liberty, he asked him if he wished to go into a private room, and he said it would be best. Mr. Mead looked pale and agitated, and it was inferred by Mr. Corby that he was in trouble, and wished to ask his advice. He was thereforq shown into a private room by Mr. Corby, and the door was closed. A chair was placed for Mr. Mead, but he asked Mr. Corby to sit in that and took another which was between Mr. Corby and the door. Being seated, he said that what he was about to say must not be divulged to any one until after the appointed time. Mr. Corby told him that he might fully rely upon his secrecy: Mr. Mead replied that he believed he could do so, and it was for that reason he had come to him. He then said, " You may think, as my son tells me, that lam mad ; but lam not mad. As true as you sit there I have seen the living God. I have seen Jesus Christ, and talked with both." - It now became apparent to Mr. Corby that his visitor was deranged. All the time he had been speaking he was feeling in his pockets as if search ing for something. Alter a short pause he con tinued," I am inspired; I am to proclaim a new dis pensation and the regeneration of the world. Next Sunday night, at the conclusion of Divine Service, in All Saints' Church, I shall proclaim my mission." He then pulled out of his pocket a large knife, which fastened back with a spring, and, presenting the point to Mr. Corby's breast, said—" You must go down on your knees and swear to the living God that you will never divulge anything that I have said until the appointed time, or I will stab you to the heart." Mr. Corby's first impulse was to seize the knife, but remem bering that his dangerous visitor was ' tall, powerful man, whilst he himself was but a mid dle sized person of nine stone, there was every probability that his attempt would fail, and the most serious consequences be the result. His next thought was to try to escape, but the door being shut, and he having to pass his excited companion, there was no hope that way. He saw, therefore, that his only chance was in appearing to coincide entirely with the view of his visitor. At that moment his life seemed not worth a minute's purchase. These thoughts passed through his mind with far greater rapidity than they could be written or spoken. Seeing the knife still pointed at his breast, Mr. Corby said, " Surely God would not tell you to act like that." " What ? " replied Mr. Mead, " not to threaten you ? but he did, though." Mr. Corby now decided upon a conciliatory course. He said Well, Mr. Mead, I have known you for many years, and have always found you a most hon ourable and sincere man, and I am convinced that you would not tell me anything of this kind unless you believed it to be true. I am glad you have come to me, and •I will help you in every way I can." They shook hands very warmly, and ap parently all danger was past. Mr. Mead then went on to say that Mr. Corby must get some bills printed to announce his mission, and that one must be sent to every newspaper in England. He afterwards rose and became very excited. He said that he was inspired—that God called to him one night and said Felix Mead, write." He answered—" Thou knowest, Lord, that I cannot write." But he said that again God told him to write, and although he never knew how to write, yet, under Divine influ ence, he wrote an excellent hand. Turning sharply to Mr. Corby, he said—" Is not that inspiration . The most exciting moment had now arrived. He put his left hand on Mr. Corby's shoulder, and held the knife up in his hand as if about to strike. He told him he must kneel, and take an oath which he would administer, or he would carry out his threat and stab him to the heart. Seeing that the only safe course was to conciliate him, Mr. Corby knelt on one knee, in sch a manner that , he could spring aside instantly, should it be necessary. Mr. Mead standing over him, with the knife upraised, pro ceeded to administer the oath, which is - not sin table to be repeated in a newspaper. At the conclusion of the interview he said, "It is well ; I will trust you." It became necessary now that some means should be adopted to secure him, as it was evident that it was most unsafe for him to be at large. Mr. Corby, therefore, told him that he could not stay there, as his customers were waiting to be served, but if he would come again in an hour's time the shop would be closed and they would have the room to them selves to chaplet() the arrangement. This he a greed to, left the room, passed quietly thro u g h the and shop out of the house. Mrs. Corby immediately A WHOLESALE BIGAMIST. At the Oxford City Court, on Friday, John Ash- I I ford, alias George Smith and John Hills, was charged I with marrying Eliza Salt, his former wife, Elizabeth Perrier, being still alive. The particulars of this case, as shown in evidence, were of a very extraor dinary nature. The prisoner, who is a tailor by trade, appears to have been travelling about the country for some years entrapping young girls, and in one instance a widow, into marriage, and suddenly leaving them, after possessing himself of all the money and property he could obtain. In 1853 the prisoner obtained employment as a tailor in Bath, and took lodgings at the house of Mrs. Perrier, who kept a greengrocer's shop in that city. After being there a few weeks he made the land lady an offer of marriage, which she accepted, and the ceremony was solemnised at Trinity Church on the 7th Aug., 1853. The parties continued to live together about a month or six weeks, when Mrs. Perrier was taken ill, and the prisoner then pre tended that he had received a letter, which there is no doubt was a forgery, to the effect that he and his two brothers had become entitled to a legacy of £5OO each, in consequence of the death of a relative, and requesting his presence in London. In order to raise money for his journey, he disposed of all the furniture and other property which he had acquired by his wife, and then left Bath, and nothing more was heard of his whereabouts until five years ago, when he appears to have settled down for a time in the small town of Wantage. While living at Wantage, he became acquainted with a respectable servant girl named Salt, to whom he paid his ad dresses, and whom he afterwards married in the name of George Smith. After living with this woman about 11 weeks, during which period he spent what little money she had managed to save by her industry, he suddenly decamped. After the lapse of considerable time, the prisoner was next heard of at St. Helen's, Lancashire, where, on the 18th Jan. last, under :the assumed name of John Wm. Scott, he married a young woman named Maria Isabella Dunn, who brought him as her mar riage portion £lOO in hard cash. On the 2d May last he suddenly quitted the place, taking with him a gold watch, furniture, all the money he could ob tain, and even the ring off the finger of the poor girl whom he had so recently duped. He next took up his quarters in Oxford, having obtained work as a tailor, and immediately commenced the nefa rious practice which he so successfully adopted in other towns. He speedily insinuated him self into the good graces of a maid-servant residing in St. John-street, to whom he promised marriage, and who was about to leave her place to marry him, when his career was brought to a sud den termination in a somewhat curious manner. On Sunday afternoon, the 25th of May, Eliza Salt, one of his unfortutate dupes, who happened to be resid ing in Oxford, in the service of Mr. Booth, St. Giles's, was present at the assembling of the Oxford militia in Broad-street, when she accidentally ob served the prisoner among the crowd. He man aged, however, to evade her on this occasion; but on the following Sunday she again saw him, in company with the young woman to whom he was paying his addresses. After watching them for some time they s eparated—the girl return ing to her home, and the prisoner walking up St. Giles's, whither he was followed by Salt, who seized him and kept firm hold until the arrival of Sergeant Mills, when she gave him into custody. The prisoner, being cautioned in the usual manner by the Mayor, replied " I have no thing to say—only I am guilty." He was then committed for trial at the next assizes. TERRIBLE EXPLOSION AT A PERCUS. SION CAP IttANUFACIO.RY. (From Aries Birmingham Gazette.) BIRMINGHAM, SATURDAY EVENING. Shortly before five o'clock this afternoon, a terrible explosion occurred at the percussion cap manufactory of Messrs. Walker, in Graham-street. In the excitement and confusion it is impossible to obtain a full and perfectly accurate report, but the following particulars were. gathered on the spot : It appears that it is customary to pay the people employed in the manufactory, most of whom were girls, their weekly wages on the Saturday after noon, and the consequence was that many of them were on the premises at the time of the explosion. It is believed that the explosion occurred in the upper room, where the composition with which the caps were charged is mixed up, but it cannot be stated positively whether this is so or not. How ever this may be, an explosion, accompanied with a loud report, took place at a quarter before five o'clock, and the whole of the extensive premises were blown up. The only vestige of the manufac tory that now remains is a heap of debris. The steel toy manufactory of Mr. Heeley, which is situate at the back ()Mho premises of the Messrs. Walker, was much damaged, some of the walls being blown down, and the people who were at work in the rooms being blown out of them by the force of the explosion. The manufactory of Messrs. Neale and Warwick, railway carriage wheel makers, was so much injured that it is expected to fall down ; and the premises on the other side were much shaken. The houses on the opposite side of the street had all the windows blown out. Many persons were buried in the debris of the pre mises. Before many minutes had elapsed volunteers came forward to work in rescuing those who were in the ruins. Despite the great danger of the work no one held back, and as the poor people were got out they were sent in cabs to the General Hospital. Several, however, whose hurts were not so serious, were removed to their own homes. a very short time the engines from the various offices we re on the spot, and a supply of water being obtained, they commenced playing on the ruins. A strong body of police were present, under Superintendent Spiers, and they were of great ser vice in preventing the crowd from going into dan gerous proximity to the walls that were expected to fall every moment ; and they also worked hard lin removing the burning rubbish under which it was stated that several people were buried, at great risk to themselves. Before long the crowd was so great that the street was impassable. Thousands upon thousands came up, but, although they were animated by the best intentions, they were only in the way of the people who were at work. At about half-past five the dead body of William Biddulph, was drawn from the ruins of the stamp ing shop of Messrs. Heeley, which had been blown down. Deceased was about 28 years old, and was married, his wife being a small haberdasher, having a shop in Carver-street. His body presented a frightful appearance, the front of the forehead and the skull being smashed in. At the time of writing there were two dead bodies there that had not been identified. The one is that of a girl, apparently about 20. The face is so shattered as to be scarcely discernable, and one leg is absolutely blown off. The other body is that of a boy, apparently about 10 years old, and the body is almost blown to pieces. One of the patients at the hospital has his face wounded with caps that have been blown into it. One of the Messrs' Walker is amongst the wounded, and we are in formed others of the firm are missing. Miss Walker is also severely hurt. Upwards of 30 persons have been up to the present time ascertained to have been more or less severely injured, most of whom were taken to the General Hospitill. The scene at the hospital is most distressing, hnndreds of poor women crowding to ask about relatives. The injured persons were promptly attended by Mr. Bracey, house surgeon ; Mr. Roberts, house physician ; Dr. Melson, Mr. A. Baker, Mr. Goodhall; there were also present at the hospital Messrs. Hall Smith, and Elkington, house pupils. It is feared that a considerable number of the unfortunate workpeoplo are buried beneath the bebris, to remove which every effort is being made. The corpse of a girl about 11, whose name we were not able to ascertain, has been taken to Duke of Marlborough publichouse, Mou st ree t t . h e ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Sittings at Nisi Prins, at Westminster, before Lord Chief Justice Cockburn and a Special Jury.) HANCOCK V. WEBB.—ASSAULT. This was an action to recover damages for an assault. The defendant is a physician and surgeon, residing at Pimlico, and the plaintiff was his servant r. Huddleston, Q.C., and Mr. Prentice were counsel for the plaintiff; and Mr. Sergeant Parry and Mr. Jos. Browne for the defendant. The plaintiff was 18 years of age, and the daughter of a stonemason at Pimlico. In Septem ber last she went into the service of the defendant, at £lO a year. A difference arose on the defendant having beaten one of his children in a way she did not like, and she gave notice to leave. On the 18th of November the plaintiff was sweeping the stairs, and the defendant caught her by the leg. She complained of his conduct. He laughed at her, and went upstairs. Upon one occasion plaintiff refused to do something Mrs. Webb wanted her to do, and she said she should leave, and asked for her wages. The defendant came home, and offered her £1 for her wages, which she refused, as more was due. The defendant took her by the shoulders and shook her violently, struck her in the mouth, and threw her on the floor. Ile then pulled up her clothes, and Mrs. Webb held up her legs in the air while the defendant slapped her with his hand in a very indecent manner. She said he rolled her over and over on the floor. Mrs. Webb said, " Papa, you have not given her enough ;" and he directed his wife to get a stick, but'she could not find one. The surgery bell was rung and her sister came in. The defendant struck her sister. She suffered much from the blow she had received in her mouth. In cross-examination the plaintiff's evidence was not shaken. Upon being recalled by the Lord Chief Justice she stated that she did not say before the magis trate that she was taken by the leg when she was sweeping the stairs, because she was afraid that it would cause a disturbance between the defendant and his wife. Elizabeth Hancock, the plaintiff's sister, said she was with her in the defendant's service. As she was gone to the nursery she heard her sister's screams. She went to the surgery and found the door fastened. She asked to be admitted, but the door was not opened. She then went out of the front door, and so to the other door of the surgery. There was a crowd outside. She rang the bell, and then she heard the door unchained, and the door was opened. The defendant asked her what busi ness. she had outside, and she said she wanted to know what he was doing to her sister. He made no answer, but struck her sister's face with his open hand. He then went away laughing. Her sister's mouth was bleeding very much. Her face was swollen, and she was in a very deplorable condition. John Collins, of the Carpenters' Arms, stated that he saw the plaintiff leave the defendant's surgery, and from her injured appearance he, with other persons, advised her to go to the police-court. He went with her and paid for the summons. He was a perfect stranger to her. Other witnesses corroborated this. Mr. Sergeant Parry then addressed the jury on behalf of the defendant. Edward Lowe Webb—l am a physician and sur geon in St. George's-road, Pimlico, in practice 14 years. The plaintiff lived with me from September to December. I had previously attended her for a swollen face and sore throat, arising from decayed teeth. The sister, Elizabeth, had been in my ser vice as a nurse. On Sunday, the Ist of December, I heard something had occurred between my wife and the plaintiff. I never took her by the legs, or took the slightest liberty with her. I never heard of that until I came into court to-day. On Monday, the 2d of December, my wife again complained. I then heard the plaintiff making a noise on the stairs while I was at breakfast. My wife sent my son for the plaintiff's mother to come and talk to her daugh ter. I rang the bell and told her not to make such a noise. I then said I would pay plaintiff her wages and dismiss her. I calculated her wages at £1 19s. 10d. I wrote a receipt in my usual book for the entry of servants' wages ; I found I had 19s. 11,d. in my purse; my wife w ent with me into the surgery I laid the 19s. 11 d. o n a side table, an d asked the plaintiff, who was there, to sign the re ceipt, which she did. She then returned the book to me. I said, " That will do." She took up the money, and stood with it in her hand some little time. She then threw it down, and said, " I won't take' that ; I'll have a fortnight's more money." 1 said I should not give it to her, as she had refused to do her work. She had had £1 before. I told her she must go. She said she would not without more money. I left her in the surgery, and went into the dining-room with my wife. I got into my carriage and drove to her mother's, and asked her to come to my house to take her daughter away. The mother said she could not come. I then went to the police-station for advice. They could not'in terfere. I returned home about half-past twelve. My wife then made further complaints of the plain tiff. I went again into the surgery, and asked the plaintiff, who was there, , she had her clothes NeS.h"elsasiadidshe , You Sheget a them.'' n un less I or her mi s t ress went withn l d h h a ne d rn.t bgelst get them replied and she had better go and d th nw em n , s a t get with a boot in her d nt hand, which she took up stairs. s air s s he an k d ne com plaint about the plaintiff The came n e where up they were.

She sat down on a chair. I again requested her to leave. I said, I am going out; you go before I go." She said she would not, and she shook her fist at my wife and said, " You vile woman ; you wicked wretch." I said, " If you won't got out quietly it will be my painful duty to put you out. She threw herself back, and said, " I'm as strong as you are, and I won't go," and she knocked over some bottles that were behind her. I then endeavoured to take her by the shoulders to move her to the street-door, which my wife opened. When I got her half-way towards the street-door she slipped forward and sat down upon the ground, and commenced yelling and making a tremendous noise. She had not been hurt. I then saw that a crowd was collecting, and gently put my hand upon her mouth to prevent her mak ing so much noise. She bit at my little finger. I removed my hand, and said to my wife, "Let us go into the dining-room." We were just going when a ring came to the surgery bell. I opened the street door, and her sister Elizabeth came up. The chain had not been put up. We left the i two to gether in the surgery, and my wife and _ Issters went into the dining-room. I then saw two policemen in the street and beckoned to them to l e t them in at the front door,told come in, and 1 them what had occurred, and asked them to they did, and she went a speak to the girl, which the mouth.

I had three servants. I had occasion to remove one boy from my bedroom, I believe. I cannot say that I struck him. It was the son of a monthly nurse. I never struck him to my knowledge. I believe I did not chastise that boy. I have not been in the habit of chastising my boys. I knew a woman of the name of Coward in my service. I went with my wife into the room before she had gone to bed. I believe she told her mistress that I had gone to her room when she was undressed taking a bath. I never did so. No nurse complained of my conduct. I did not go into another servant's worn. I never heard of it. I may have gone into ray own nurseantry.

FRIGHTFUL AIURDER AT WATEBLOCI, _ WATERLOO-VILLE, SATURDAY. Early this morning one of the most barbarouS murders on record was perpetrated, about half a mile from this usually quiet village, the inhabitant% of which are in a state of intense excitement- Waterloo is situated seven miles to the north of Portsmouth, and is a rural retreat, chiefly c onsisting of villa residences. The murder was committed 3t a place called Billett's Stables, about half a mile oil the Horndean-road. The murderer is a young gipsy, named Lee, aged 26 years, well built, and by no means repulsive lookiog. The victim is his wife, a tall handsome young gipgy woman, aged 24. The murderer travelled from place to place in a van, commonly used by gipsies. This vehicle and &vei ling had been stopping in the yard adjoining the Wellington Tavern, kept by Mr. Silvester, of W.a terloo f and on Friday night Lee asked Mrs. So veeter to take his wife some wine-and- wa t e r,. re marking that she would take nothing from hi; and they appeared to be on unfriendly terms, ae.. had imputed to his wife improper conduct wait another man while at Ascot Races, where they bad kept an entertainment similar to that known as " Aunt Sally." The wife denied the imputation, and repeatedly told Mrs. Silvester he had no grounds for his suspicions. The unfortunate victim NYELEI 112 ' an advanced state of pregnancy. This morning? about 9 o'clock, Lee and his wife left the Waterloo Inn, where they had remained a short time, being' en route to Odiham, accompanied by a bog named Wyatt, their nephew. About half an hour after their departure news reached this village that Lee had barbarously murdered his wife on the road, through jealousy. Police - constable Rody Doegan; of the Hants constabulary, immediately pursusu• the van, and discovered that the report was too trues for lying on the grass, about 400 yards from the van, was Lee, who, on seeing the officer, exclaimeili " Jam glad you have come, for I have cut my wife 'a throat." He also said, " She slept with another man lam sure, the first night at Ascot." Deegan went towards the van, and perceived a track of recently spilt blood for about 15 yards along t he road. 00 coming up to the vehicle, he perceived the yoraug woman lying under the horse's heels. One hoof was on her long dishevelled and jet black hair, while the other rested upon her arm. Her throat pre sented a terrible spectacle, being cut from ear to ear, and she appeared to be quite dead. P risoner sa id, " Have you found the razor I did it with ? to which question the constable replied, " Yes, I found it Prig or five yards from the van, lying on the road." ' Boner then said, " I did it to die." The body N'tlas placed in a car belonging to Mr. Silvester, moved to a store or shed at the rear of the Waterloo Inn, to which place the van was also removed. An eye-witness describes the murder as foliows —Lee 'was driving the horse along the HorndeAl l " road, his nephew, the boy Wyatt, sitting on the foot board. Lee suddenly got into a passion, hav ing revelled to the Ascot affair, and all at once he jumped into the van, wherein was seated the de ceased. A struggle ensued, when he got his wife's head over the half door or hatch of the van, ana having previously procured a razor, he cut hex throat in a most fearful manner, causing almost; instant death. Having committed this horrible murder he threw her over the half-hatch under the horse's heels. During the murder the horse stove' motionless, and the boy apparently unmindful et the tragedy being enacted. Lee never attempted to escape, but after the murder he took the boy to a house and gave him in charge of a woman, to whom also he gave either two or three sovereigns, with a request that she should not let him see his aunt. He then went and sat down by the road sid e, in which position he was found by the police con stable. When taken before the magistrates be again confessed his guilt, and was remanded to Winches' ter Gaol. COUN7.RY MARKIZIS. .. ,10. NOTTINGHAM—SATURDAY.

A moat remarkable instance of the curative virtues possessed by Holloway's remedies has recently been furnished by a needle maker at Studley, whose body and legs were sorely afflicted by malignant ulcers. He got worse under the best surgical treatment, but was soon eased and shortly cured by these healing and purifying preparations. They closed the wounds and cleansed the system.
