THE WAR IN AMERICA. LIVERPOOL, MONDAY. The royal mail steamship Europa, from Boston on the 15th, and Halifax on the morning of the 17th, arrived in this port at 1 o'clock to-day. The Europa was intercepted off Cape Race by the news boats of the Associated Press, and telegram s from New York to the night of the 17th were placed on board, and have already been published in our columns. The New York Herald of the 13th gives the fol lowing as the situation of affairs at that date : " Another brilliant victory is reported to-day. Gen. Buell is evidently following up his advantage like a skilful general. Private despatches received from Lebanon state that there was a great battle fought on Saturday, between Harrodsburg and Danville, heavier and more severe than that of Wednesday last at Perrysville. Col. Woodford, of the Kentucky Union Cavalry, captured 160 wag gons and 1,000 prisoners. The rebels at last ac counts were retreating to Camp Dick Robinson. [A later despatch via Halifax contradicts the above, and says that no fighting had taken place in Kentucky since the 9th.] " Some of Gen. Dumont's men, under Col. Miller, captured two pieces of artillery and 150 rebels at Versailles on Saturday, and drove the rest of them from that place to Nicholasville. Humphrey Mar shall was in command of the rebels. "From all accounts which reach us from Fre derick it is evident that the rebel invaders of Penn sylvania have retired into Virginia again. They moved from the direction of Gettysburg towards Frederick, but the military governor, Col. Allen, had prepared to receive them with a large force. It was stated that a large portion of the rebel cavalry passed through Thornton's Gap towards Warrenton on Saturday. They passed through Woodsboro and Liberty on their way to Newmarket, and from thence to Monrovia and Urbanna, in the direction of the river, near Poolesville. It is reported that they captured some sutlers' waggons, destroyed a portion of the railroad track, and cut the telegrap4 linen on their route. General Pleasanton, with three regiments of cavalry, passed through Frederick yesterday morn ing at daylight, and followed in pursuit of General Stuart's forces. At eleven a.m. yesterday heavy cannonading was heard in the direction of Nolan's Ferry, at the mouth of the Monocracy River, where it was supposed Stuart would attempt to cross the Potomac. The reports place the conflict at Edward's Ferry. Some captured prisoners state that the rebels crossed in three divisions, under Generals Stuart, Cobb, and Hampton ; that the men were strictly ordered not to disturb private property, and that it was respected during their whole trip. It was thought that Cobb and Hamp ton, with their divisions, re-crossed at a ford above the North Mountain. " Reports from Harrisburg and Harper's Ferry confirm these statements. General Banks received a despatch from General Stoneman yesterday, dated Poolesville, apprising him of the appearance of Stuart's and Hampton's force, with six pieces of artillery, at daybreak, pursued by General Plea santon's cavalry. When they arrived in sight of the river they broke up into small bodies, and made for several fords. The troops sent to intercept them were of course also obliged to divide and engage the enemy at a number of points. The rebels finally crossed between Conrad's Ferry and Point of Rocks. The stolen blue uniform which Stuart's men wore made it, difficult to distinguish them from our own men. " It is beyond doubt that the rebels have made good their retreat to Virginia after marching round our grand army of the Potomac. The cavalry of General Pleasanton, which was in pursuit, arrived at the crossing just as the enemy had completed their passage over the river. General Pleasanton marched 78 miles in a day, but was only up in time to engage the artillery of the rebels as they covered the rear of Stuart's forces. " The news from Corinth confirms the report of a splendid victory. We captured 2,000 prisoners, in chiding 100 officers. The rebels lost 1,000 killed and a large number wounded. Our loss was only 350 killed and 1,300 wounded. The rebels aban doned and spiked eleven guns, destroyed three cais sons, and lost most of their ammunition and trains. General Rosencranz, after pursuing the enemy until the 9th inst., returned to Corinth at the command of General Grant. He reports the rebel army dispersed, demoralised, and incapable of further mischief. He would gladly have followed them up under the conviction that this is the acceptable time to destroy them utterly, but for the orders of his superior to return. " Dispatches from Cairo, dated the Bth, say that there are movements at Helena, Arkansas, betoken ing an immediate advance in some direction, but whether on Vicksburg or Little Rock is not per mitted to transpire. It is intimated, however, that an important movement was about to take place at once, from the fact that all civilians were forbidden to travel in that vicinity." The following Confederate account of the battle of Corinth is furnished by the Richmond Dis patch : "It was a most bloody fight. Our forces gained repeated successes on Friday and Saturday, occupy ing a portion of the enemy's breastworks. They also gained the town ; but the enemy held it stub bornly on the left until reinforcements arrived, when - on Sunday they fell upon Gen. Van Dorn in overwhelming numbers, forcing us to relinquish our position and to retreat. The fight continued almost uninterruptedly during Friday, Saturday, and Sun day. The slaughter on both sides is described as unparalleled. One of our generals writes that Maury's division of three brigades will not muster more than one brigade. Cabell's has not more than 450 men left. Gen. Martin, of the 4th brigade, chiefly Mississippians, was killed ; also C )1. Rogers, of Texas, and Col. 'Wiert Adams, of Mississippi. Gen. Moore is reported killed. Gen. Cabell was injured by a fall from his horse. Ten thousand fresh Federal troops harassed Maury's division, which was in advance in the retrogade movement. The army is understood to be in the vicinity of Ripley, and perfectly safe. It is rumoured that but one general was sanguine of success before the at tack." The Dispatch then gives the details of the various movements, and concludes as follows : " Our loss in all the engagements is estimated at 5,000, and the enemy's is much heavier. The loss at Pocahontas was equal to that at Corinth. Our loss may be over-estimated, as the stragglers were num bered by thousands, and the retreat was not very orderly. We lost four pieces of artillery. We cap tured 380 prisoners at Corinth, who were brought off ' The enemy made no attempt to follow us f r om na L . Corinth, nor the Bolivar force afte r th e i r def ea t a t daring Bridge. Van Dorn was conspic u o u s for and Price as usual felt at h ome . B o th escapedped unh urt. Price's command was the first in the enemy's e ered the h n v t i renchments, Murray's division suf se v heaviest loss, and a es e t td loss. General Cabell sustained most gallantly.

Th e p l a gue at Wilnongtnn, North Carolina, is increasing in violence. Brigadier Gen. %V. ll_ Smith died at Charleston, South Carolina. The state elections in Pennsylvania,Ohio, Id diana, and lowa, took place on the 14th instant, and generally passed off quietly. The latest returns indicate that the Republicans were probably suc cessful in Pennsylvania and lowa, and the Demo crats in Ohio and Indiana. A large, enthusiastic, Democratic Ratification meeting was held at the Cooper Institute, in New York, on the evening of Oct. 13. Horatio S , vmour, the Democratic candidate for the govern rahip of New York, and other leading democrats, ddressed the meeting. Mr. John Van Buren, in a lengthy speech, cast some ridicule on the administration, and drew a dis heartening picture of the difficulties of war in which the nation is engaged, amused his audience by ridi culous sketches of Dickenson, Fremont, Greeley, and the Republican leaders, and paid a high com pliment to Gen. M'Clellan, which drew down en thusiastic applause. He i n f orme d th e R e publican enemies of Gen. M'Clellan that if they would keep on they would mak e hi m P res id en t o f the United States, He denounced Mr. Wadsworth as bitterly hostile to Gen. M'Clellan and as a disunionist ; and he declared the purpose of the Democracy to be to stand by President Lincoln as long as he would let them and stand by Gen. INl‘Clellan whether he would let them or not. The most contemptible government on the face of the earth he declared to be the Repub lican government of the Northern States, and after making that declaration he cried, "And now, ho ! for Fort Lafayette." He had been dieting himself for the last ten months, and thought he could stand Fort Lafayette for two months. It could not hold more than 500, who would not be missed out of the Democratic majority, and then the fort would be better garrisoned than it was before. His plan was that M'Clellan should move on to Rich . mond, that then a convention should be called, and their Southern brethren invited to it. The constitution might then be altered and the provi sions made more distinct, so that they should here after live in peace ; and, if the South would not stay he would say to them, in the language of General Scott, "Wayward sisters, depart in peace." He professed his conviction of the triumph of the Democracy at the coming election, and said that what at first was wanted was that New York should see to it that her votes were deposited in the ballot boxes. They should not lose their time in talking, and, if the people did call them traitors, they must not stop to talk, but go to the poll. They had been told that the Southern folks would not live, and in his judgment they ought not to live, under abolition sway, and he would not live with them if they would. The following letter from General Scott to Mr. Seward was read by Mr. John Van Buren during his speech : " - Washington, March 2, 1861. " Dear Sir,—Hoping that in a day or two the new President will have happily passed through all personal dangers, and find himself installed an honoured successor of the great Washington, with you as the chief of his Cabinet, I beg to repeat in writing what I have before said to you orally— this supplement to my printed ' Views' (dated in October last) on the highly disordered condition of our (so late) happy and glorious Union. To meet the extraordinary exigencies of the time it seems to me that I am guilty of no arrogance in limiting the President's field of selection to one of the four plans of procedure subjoined : " 1. Throw off the old and assume a new desig nation—the Union Party. Adopt the conciliatory measures proposed by Mr. Crittenden or the Peace Convention, and my life upon it we shall have no new case of secession, but on the contrary an early return of many, if not all, of the states which have broken off from the Union. Without some equally benign measure the remaining slaveholding states will probably join the Montgomery Confederacy in less than 60 days, when this city being included in a foreign country would require a permanent garri son of at least 35,000 to protect the government within it. " 2. Collect the duties on foreign goods outside the ports of which the government has lost the com mand, or close such ports by act of Congress, and blockade them. "3. Conquer the seceded states by invading armies. No doubt this might be done in two or three years by a young and able general—a Wolfe, a Desaix, or a Hoche—with 300,000 disciplined men, estimating a third for garrisons and the loss of the greater number by skirmishes, sieges, battles, and Southern fevers. The destruction of life and property on the other side would be frightful, how ever perfect the moral discipline of the invader. "The conquest, completed at that enormous waste of human life to the North and North-West, with at least 250,000,000 dollars added thereto, and cui bone ? Fifteen devastated provinces, not to be brought into harmony with their conquerors, but to be held for generations by heavy garisons, at an expense quadruple the net duties or taxes which it would be possible to extort from them, followed by a protector or an emperor. "4. Say to the seceded states, Wayward sisters, depart in peace! "In haste, I remain very truly yours, " WINFIELD SCOTT. " Hon. MT. H. Seward, &c." The following resolutions were passed : " Itesolved—That, as we desire a vigorous prose cution of war, the conservative citizens of this city will continue cheerfully the support given to it by contributions of men and treasure ; but we will at the same time insist on the fulfilment by the pre sent administration of the solemn pledge, almost unanimously given, of the Congress of the United States,' That this war is not waged on their part in any spirit of oppression, or for any purpose of overthrowing or interfering with the rights and established institutions of the States, but to defend and maintain the supremacy of the constitution, and to preserve the 'Union with all the dignity, equality, and rights of the several States unimpaired, and that as soon as these objects are accomplished the ought to cease.' " Resolved —That the investigations by Congress and the state legislatures have disclosed the exist enee of fearful and unexampled corruption and extravagance—that uuless these enormous frauds be checked the whole country must be involved in bankruptcy and dishonour ; that we would be faithless to the principles of honesty and economy in the administration of public affairs if we did not expose and denounce these wrongs on the industry and great masses of the people ; and that, in the language of our friends of New Jersey, we solemnly protest against such reckless extravagance and infamous peculation. " Resolved, --That we highly approve and cheer fully endorse the truthfal arguments against whole sale emancipation presented by President Lincoln in his interview with the ' Chicago delegation' in the month of September last, satisfied as we are, in the language of the President himself, that the measure must be necessarily inoperative and inex pedient,' and that' no possible good can result from the issuing such a proclamation.' " Resolved,—That, in the language of the re visers of the statutes of this State, the writ of habeas corpus is the great bulwark of personal li berty to the citizen.' (Applause.) That if in Eng land it points out to the humblest individual in the realm effectual means as well to release himself though committed by the King in Council, as to punish those who unconstitutionally misuse him, then in this republican country it should at least be as effective to protect an American citi zen from arrest upois mere suspicion or inuendo of disloyal practices even by the highest officers in the land. We hold that the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus can only be suspended by act of Congress, and that the question of the power of the President to suspend it must be decided by the Supreme Court, a decision to which both the Presi dent and ourselves must yield. (Great applause.) " Resolved,—That, faithful to our own record, we renew our vows of loyalty to the Union and the constitution, and stand now and ever supporting the stron g arm of the Government as the only break water between the constitutional rights of the people of the U n it e d St a t es an d t h e r i s i ng fl ood of ve"vhelnling force and lawlessness. and wadssvorth is at in the nomination o f S e y mour State, the the respective pa r ti es o f th e lin e Who s b d e i r stinctly tween those as it wa s and clearly drawn be and the Union believe in the constitution as it i s who seek to establish ju the ir stead a new consti (aPPlause)—and the men tution and a new U nion. lt Resolved,—That we reeonarae d A.toibthe electors of this State th ticket not around th e a 4 s!lection willninated t' at' tend to check en the extra vagance and corruption in public officers, give new vigour to the prosecution of the present war, and assure the people that the Union and the constitu tion for which our fathers made sacrifices still lire in all their original vigour." A draft for 2,000 men was expected to be carried out at Boston on the day the Europa left that port. It was supposed that the draft in New York would take place on or about the 10th of November —i.e., after the coming election. Copies of two confidential letters, written by General Beauregard as to the Confederate plans in Kentucky, had fallen into the hands of the Federal Government, and were made public. It appears from these captured papers that the programme ' laid down by General Bragg was really nothing less than the capture of Louisville and Cincinnati, and carrying the war into the North-West. Beau regard even goes so far as to give Bragg minute directions how to proceed, and points out the works that it would be necessary to construct at Louis ville and Cincinnati to hold these cities after cap ture. The New York limes of Oct. 14 gives the fol lowing summary of news : " Our special correspondent at Harper's Ferry sends us the gratifying assurance that a forward moment of the army of the Potomac has been de termined upon, and that in a few days at furthest it will be on the Virginia side of the Potomac, en gaged in offensive operations against the rebels. Our correspondent traces this promise of action directly to the late visit of the President. " Our despatches published yesterday morning, giving accounts of the escape of the rebel cavalry across the Potomac, are fully confirmed this morn ing. They first attempted to cross at Norland's Ford, but met with opposition there from a force of our infantry. They then divided and crossed the river in small bodies at different points. It is said that General Stuart and General Wade Hampton were both with the expedition, and that the cavalry consisted of detachments from Virginia and South Carolina regiments. Our cavalry, under General Pleasanton, was a little too late to intercept the rebels before they crossed the river. The skir mishing appears to have been without material results. The Pennsylvanians were again thrown into a state of perturbation yesterday, by the report received in Harrisburg, that a rebel force, 30,000 strong, had made their appearance in Franklin county, and carried off untold numbers of horses, &c. It subsequently transpired that the fright was occasioned by a number of stragglers from Stuart's force, who appeared more anxious to make their escape than to do any damage. " It is now believed that the draft will take place in this State on the 10th of November. "It is said that henceforth Rienzi is to be the head quarters of the national forces in Mississippi, instead of Corinth as heretofore. Rienzi is a short distance south of Corinth on the Mobile and Ohio Railroad. " The rebels in Memphis had reports on Tuesday that the Confederates, who were so badly beaten at Corinth, had recovered themselves, and given Ro sencranz a severe whipping on Sunday. They have found out their mistake by this time. " From the statements of refugees lately from Richmond we learn that the Merrimac No. 2, or Richmond, as she is named by the rebels, is nearly ready for service, having received her iron armour, which is five inches thick. She is pierced for six guns—two Columbiads on each side, and a pivot gun fore and aft. At the Tredegard work a 10-inch rifle gun, 15 feet long, is being finished, for which at the same time steel-pointed shot are being made. The rebels state that they have now 10 gunboats on the James River similar to the Teazer, each of which carries rifled guns, and that they have but little to fear for the safety of the city from a naval attack. "It is understood that the division of Gen. Cox, which lately occupied the Kanawha Valley, and which has lately passed through a brief campaign in the east, is now on its way to Western Virginia, and will form a part of Major-Gen. Cox's command in that department. These troops are now at or near Cumberland." The latest despatches confirm the statement that Stuart's Confederate cavalry succeeded in recrossing the Potomac into Virginia, almost without moles tation. It is stated that General M'Clellan had given instructions to the divisional commander at Poolesville, which, if carried out, would have prevented the return of Gen. Stuart to Virginia, but that these instructions were not carried out. An investigation into the cause of this error was going on at Washington, with a view to elicit all the facts, and put the charge of this negligence upon the proper parties. That there was gross neglect somewhere is evident. A Washington telegram of the 14th says : " A memorial was submitted to the President to day by General Wallbridge and Messrs. Stevens, M'Cendy, Lathrop, Wesandock, and others, on the practicability of sending a Federal force to retake Texas, and the demand for a proclamation an nouncing the policy of the Government to be simply the restoration of the Federal Constitutional Go vernment where it is subverted. After tracing the probable designs of Napoleon with Mexico in con travention of the Monroe doctrine, the memorial says, with reference to Texas :—' Recent advises inform us that if the loyal people of that section of the country could be positively assured of the assis tance of the Federal Government large numbers would immediately flock to the standard of the old flag who have been induced by misrepresentation to believe that the action of the Constitutional Government of the United States has been under taken to subjugate them and overthrow all their civil and political rights, instead of furnishing them immunity and protection against the odious oligarchy which, under the title of a Confederate Government, has endeavoured to subvert the repre sent4tive Constitutional Government of the Federal Union, and erect upon its ruins a ferocious military despotism which ignores the welfare, privileges, and prosperity of the masses for the advancement of the few, who, by intimidation and violence, are temporarily directing the administration of their public affairs.'" Nashville was said to be completely surrounded by Confederate guerillas, and the Federal troops in the city were living on half rations. Provisions were held at fabulous prices. Ad vices from New Orleans are to the Ist inst. A correspondence had taken place between Dr. Mercer and General Butler on the question of neutrality, the former claiming a right to remain neutral as between the Rebel Government and the United States, having never taken the oath of alle giance to the one, and not wishing to do so to the other. General Butler replied that he could not recognise any such neutrality; that every person must be regarded as either a friend or an enemy. 'rhe time for taking the oath of allegiance had been extended to the 4th inst., and the rush to the provost marshal's offices continued unabated. The news of the Federal victories in Maryland, it is said, havi ng d one much to stir up the dormant patriotism of the inhabitants, the steamer Iberville had been fired upon by guerillas while on her pas sage from Iberville. Forty or fifty shots were fired at her from a battery of four rifled 6-pounders, 10 of which took effect in different parts of the boat, but without doing material damage. Californian dates are to Oct. 14, Business was unsettled. Merchants were apparently disinclined to make new engagements, until further advices from the East in regard to war prospects and cur rency matters. There was considerable demand for shipping, which could not be supplied until after the arrival of a fleet of vessels. The town of I lowland Flats, Sierra county, has been almost totally destroyed by fire. The steamer Sierra Nevada had arrived from the northern coast. She brought 120,000 dols. in trea sure from British Columbia, and over 100,000 dols. in the hands of the passengers. There was continued excitement in financial and commercial circles in New York. Gold and ex change rapidly advancing, and stocks and produce being affected in a proportionate degree. The latest commercial news, via Halifax, has been already published, and supersedes that, contained in the newspapers. The New York City Bank statement for the week shows an increase of 4,617,891 dols. OCTOBER 28, 1862. THE SUN, WrqDON, TUESDAY EVENIN-tl7, in loans, 937,499 dols. in specie, and 5,020,493 dols. 1 in deposits. (Per Europa, by Telegraph to Halifax, and via Queenstown.) NEW YORK, OCT. 16. A letter has been received in Washington from the Governor of Pennsylvania stating that the Federal generals at Hagerstown knew that the Confederates had crossed the Pennsylvania border at 10 o'clock on Friday morning, 20 miles by rail from Chambersburg and a like distar.ce by good roads. The latter were in possession of the Federals, and as the Confederates did not leave Chambersburg until 9 o'clock on Saturday morning their whole force might have been captured, and Pennsylvania saved from the disgrace cast upon her. The governor demands, in conclusion, a thorough investigation into the matter. General Pleasanton lays the blame of the escape of the Confederates on General Stoneman. Washington dispatches of the 15th inst. say it is now evident that a considerable Confederate force has moved in the direction of Centreville. This movement is thought to be only a feint to occupy the Federals in advance and cover the retreat of the main body of the Confederate army down the Shenandoah Valley towards Gordonsville. It is not believed that General Lee will turn out of his course to attack Sigel, but that he will send a sufficient force to occupy Sigel's advance while the Confede rates move southwards. There is no reason to believe that the Confede rate General J. Johnson is advancing on Manassas. Nashville papers assert that the Federals are con centrating a large force at Fort Donnelson, with the intention of clearing that portion of Tennessee of rebels. A large Federal force has left Helena, Arkansas, and ascended the Mississippi, landing at Cape Girar deau. Its destination is unknown. Another vessel is reported to have arrived at a Southern port laden with al my supplies. Liverpool salt is worth at Atalanta (Ga.) 1 dol. 25c. per sack, and flour 30 dole. per barrel. The Richmond Inquirer of Oct. 11 says there are prospects of an early peace, founded on the results of the battles in Virginia and Maryland and the campaign now progressing. The battle of Antietam was, it states, to the Federal forces, the most terri ble defeat of the war. The same journal affirms that President Lincoln issued his emancipation proclamation in anticipa tion that foreign nations would interfere, and thus afford him an apology for terminating the war, and calls for the removal of all slaves from the border by military force as a measure of precaution. It also advocates the employment of slaves by Govern ment in the interior of the country, with fair wages to the owners. The Hon. T. A. R. Nelson, up to the present time a strong Union man, has issued an address to the people of East Tennessee announcing President Lincoln's emancipation proclamation, and saying that of all the despotic acts which the civil war has produced none are equal in atrocity and barbarism to this proclamation. Mr. Nelson urges the people of East Tennessee, if they would save themselves from a species of carnage unexampled in the history of North America, but unequivocally invited by the President's proclama tion, to at once, without waiting for the conscrip tion, buckle on their armour and volunteer in the struggle against Lincoln's Government. "No despot in Europe (he says) would dare to exercise the powers which Mr. Lincoln in two years had usurped. He now claims the prerogative of abolish ing slavery without the consent of the people of East Tennessee. If he thus takes negroes why may he not take lands, and reduce the people to a state of vassalage, of which no parallel can be found except in the history of the middle ages. The governor of Virginia has forbidden the ex portation of salt beyond the limits of that State. The draft in the State of New York will commence on Nov. 10. Drafting in Boston commenced yester day. The quota required was 2,000. In Baltimore drafting took place yesterday. Only 46 men were required. Secretary Chase is batter. The New York Herald states that Mr. Chase gave permission to parties in Boston to send two vessels laden with provisions to Norfolk to be exchanged for slaves or other mer chandise. Oae of the vessels arrived at Norfolk, discharged her cargo, and left on the return voyage, but was sent back by the Federal vessels in Hamp ton Roads on the ground that Norfolk was blockaded, and trade could not be carried on. The matter has been referred to the Government. The inhabitants of Norfolk are short of provisions. The British steamer Racer arrived at Fortress Monroe on the 13th and left on the 14th inst. The British steamer Petrel is now anchored in Hampton Roads. The French steamer Massena arrived at New York on the 15th inst. from Vera Cruz. THE AMERICAN CURRENCY. The predictions with regard to the American cur rency continue to be fulfilled. Another rise of 4 per cent. has carried the premium on gold up to 32, and. as the rate for bills on London is quoted 147, further heavy shipments of specie may be expected. The fact that, although she sailed from Boston, the present steamer has brought £55,000, indicates that the next mails from New York direct would be likely to take considerable sums. Everyone, how ever, has a sense that the state of affairs now observ able is slight compared with that which is to come. Even in New York, where only a few weeks back it was recommended that all men should be " marked as traitors" who refused to consider Federal paper as good as gold,and where a leading economical jour nal authoritatively assured the public that as soon as a sufficient quantity of the postage notes could be printed all demand for small change would cease and silver would be back at par, some idea that the United States are not exempt from the operation of the general laws that regulate these matters in all other parts of the world seems at length to be making head. This feeling, however, appears thus ' far only to manifest itself in a vague consciousness that everything is not quite right, and there is no bold attempt to warn the public of what is actually impending. Yet the inevitable results should be plain to every one acquainted even with the rudi ments of financial science. There are three roads open to the Federal Government. They may limit their expenditure to the resources of the country—a measure which would be tantamount to a with drawal from the war ; or they may adopt either of the two alternatives of issuing fresh notes for all their wants, or of raising money by loans. That they will not abawdon the war is certain. An inde finite creation of notes or loans may therefore be calculated upon, and in either case the consequences can be seen with perfect precision. If, as will pro bably be the case, the system of unlimited issues of paper be preferred, the depreciation will, of course, go on until the experience of the French assignats shall have been repeated. It was recently pointed cut that so long as the new paper issues were merely filling the vacuum occasioned by the hoarding of the sixty millions or more of specie previously in circulation, the progress of depreciation must be slow, but that subsequently the rate would be alarm ing. This is now being witnessed, and for every article of the value of £6B the Government have to incur a liability of £lOO. But throughout there is no commercial distress. On the contrary, it is one distinction of this system of finance that it creates ease and confidence in the money market. Being a legal tender, although the value of the currency may decrease, it answers just as well the purposes of debtors, and meanwhile every fresh'creation is, in proportion as the public attach faith to it, a crea tion of so much additional nominal wealth founded on a pledge of the labourof future generations. The other alternative of raising money by a creation of 1 public stocks, and allowing the currency to remain without further inflation, would be more likely to be iattended with occas i onal commercial inconven ience, while its ultim a t e results would be nearly [ s imilar to those of indi scr i m i nate note issues. I n obtaining funds by this m eans the Government woul d occasion ally attract l arge amounts of the existing c irculation to its coffers, an d would th us cause monetary pressure until the total was aga i n disb ursed. Under either system the gran d consequence would be identical. Whether the expenditure of the country be kept up ... "" ^f notes, the exportation by home loans or by issue.— -ors wili not of specie must be the same. Foreigt..._ take either the bonds or the notes, and it is the co. stant demand for gold to pay the balances thus due which will regulate the relative quotations of gold and paper. In the course of a certain time every piece of hoarded gold that can be bought on any terms will have been sent away, and then the country will be forced to carry on the war solely on the annual gains of its own industry, since it will have nothing but these to barter for any articles it may require to import. All the devices ever sug gested can never keep a people who are continually expending more than they create from that con summation, and in time of war the process is short. How short it is likely to be in the United States may be estimated from the fact that with a falling off of about 50 millions yearly in their productive power (to say nothing of that which is caused by the withdrawal of men from industrial occupations to the army) they have augmented their scale of expenditure by about £150,000,000. When peace shall have been arrived at there will be a debt to be met the magnitude and burden of which will be is no way affected by the question as to whether it is in the form of bonds or notes. If specie pay ments are then to be resumed the people will find they are called upon to discharge their liabilities in a metal which has totally deserted them, and it is then that every debtor in the country will break down. The break down, however, will be among themselves, since all foreign credit, except of the most temporary character, has necessarily already been withdrawn. THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBI2ION. The total number of visitors yesterday up to 5 o'clock was 58,120—namely, 4,457 by season tickets, 1,056 by shilling day tickets, and 52,607 by pay ment at the doors. During the middle of the day there were upwards of 60,000 people of all classes in the building, when it seemed, to say the very least, to be as full as it could conveniently hold. Among the earliest visitors were their Imperial Highnesses the Prince Napoleon and the Princess Clotilde and suite, who were received by Sir Went worth Dilke, Mr. Fairbairn, Mr. Sandford, and the members of the French Imperial Commission. Their Highnesses, quite undisturbed by the crowd, which, as we have said, was in some places excessive, passed almost the whole of the day on the English side of the building. A very long visit was paid to Minton's Court, where the party were received by Mr. Campbell, the chief of the firm, and where both the Prince and Princess made some costly pur chases. they afterwards proceeded to the French Court, where, in accordance with their wishes pre viously intimated, arrangements had been made with the London Stereoscopic Company to take the likenesses of the whole party. For this purpose chairs of State had been prepared for the Prince and Princess, with the magnificent display of Sevres china and Gobelin tapestry as a background. At a signal a large number of cameras were simultane ously uncovered on the whole group, and in less than 20 seconds a perfect series of photographs, large and stereoscopic, were obtained. It says some thing for the steadiness of the party, under this concentrated fire of lenses, that not a single member in a group of more than 20 made the slightest move ment, so that all the likenesses were absolutely per fect. It was late in the afternoon before the Prince and Princess quitted the building, which, it is stated, they intend visiting every day till the close. Ringing out commenced yesterday, for the first time, at 4 o'clock, and an endeavour was made to clear the building at half-past, which, it is almost needless to say, was not successful, and it was long past 5 before the last of the lingering visitors were out and the doors closed. THE EXHIBITION BILL OF FARE. If there be any truth in the old saw that the proof of the pudding is in the eating, then Mr. Mor rich has undoubtedly been a very successful caterer for the wants of the public at the Exhibi tion. Thousands of visitors have probably never tasted a morsel or drunk a cup in the building, and of those wno have done both there will of course be the usual percentage ready to assert that they were badly waited on, that their sherry was hot and their soup cold, and that they suffered all those minor evils which usually occur to people who think that they can dine as comfortably as they can dine at home. It is evident, however, that the number of those who did not eat, and the number of those who did, and afterwards complained, have been mere units in the great total of those who to judge from the quantities consumed, must have eaten pretty heartily. The whole bill of fare of a Lord Mayor's banquet, with its traditional glories of 250 tureens of turtle, pales to mere insignificance before the quantities which have apparently been consumed weekly and daily by visitors to the Exhibition. What will the French critics who called on their countrymen to admire the English ladies in the building, and warned them in solemn terms against venturing to see them eat in the re freshment department, say when they see this stupendous total of only a porti m of the provisis ns eaten and drunk since the opening day? Will they continue to ascribe these tons of meat and thousands of barrels of ale and stout to the English fair alone, or will they admit, when they look at the items, that the rougher sex must also have found time to give their better halves important aid in disposing of this bill of fare ? In the matter of light refreshments the ladies, as we shall see, have evidently not lost much time. Country cousins, too, have done their part in this national gorman dising ; else how shall we account for the absence of 112,000 pork pies, to say nothing whatever of the little mouthfuls implied by the consumption of some 30,0001 b. of cheese and 3,0001 b. of bacon ? Yet, if a stranger were to judge of the refreshment department by the complaints which have now and then been made, he would be apt hastily to imagine that it was a place where it was next to impossible to get anything to eat. When we bear in mind these complaints now, and then look at the amounts that have really been eaten, we are for cibly reminded of the friendly game at 100, where Smith, the only winner, has gained no more than 75., though Brown has lost £1 35., and Jones and Robinson 14s. each. Somebody won the money at the 100, and has eaten the refreshments at the Exhibition—has eaten them, paid for them, and gone away content, for the satisfied diners must have been a very numerous class indeed, to judge from what they have effected in the matter of .con sumption. In simple truth, the items in this for midable list of eatables and drinkables would ap pear almost fabulous if it were not perfectly corro borated in every particular by the returns in 1851, where the same descriptions of things were sold. In 1851, the refreshments allowed to be sold in the Exhibition were only of the kind technically called " light"—what restaurateurs, in fact, call a " lady and bun business." The stra pping fellows who came up from the Potteries and mi n i ng dis tricts, who wanted their cheese, and gallon of beer, could get a wafer or an ice, or, if seriously, bent on eating, a sandwich and a glass of sherry, while their wives took a cup of cafe au Bait and a thin slice of brown bread. In fact, 100,000 hungry vi sitors were then expected to be content with the same sort of tepid comfort that is offered to people at a soiree, who don't want to eat, and who could not get anything if they did. As a matter of course, therefore, these " light" refreshments be came heavy in the extreme to dispose of as they fell in popular favour, and there was a gin gallery and a beer gallery, so called not because these liquors were sold there, though they were cer tainly drunk, and there, was an importation of flat bottles and not flat baskets into the building, with the usual unseemly debris of crusts and crumbs and greasy papers when the public dined on wh a t t h ey had b roug h t i n with them. Nevertheless, in spite of all, when Mr Younghusband, then the contractor for the refreshments, published his return of what had been consumed, the totals were enormous, and for a long time even thought to be untrue. The lesson then taught as to what might be made of the refreshment department , when properly adminis tered in the matter of food and drinks that might he sold, was one of the few by which the Commis sioners have profited on this occasion. Both the eon tractors were bound to supply all that the public could really want in this respect, and the returns which we now give of what Mr. Morrish's consump -a been up to last S a t ur d ay s h ow h ow muc h tion anpreei , ated the permission, and to th® public has . have availed themselves what a liberal extent tn.., of its advantages. The returns we give are those of Mr. Morrish, made up of the total' entered as sold in his books each week. They are, thei'efore, necessarily incomplete to the amount of M. Veil lard's sales, which must have been considerable / as upwards of £70,000 was taken over the counters for refreshments in that contractor's portion of the building. Allowing for this, however, and bearing in mind that Mr. Morrish's sales as compared with those of M. Veillard were nearly as three to one, a tolerably accurate estimate may be formed of the total consumed altogether. At all events, what ever the latter contractor may have done, Mr. Mor rish's books, as we have said, show him at least to have sold as follows :-First, to judge from the light refreshments, the " lady and bun business" appears on this occasion to have been one of con siderable magnitude, inasmuch as up to Saturday last there were consumed, in round numbers, no less than 1,300,000 ices, 554,000 Bath buns, 133,500 sponge cakes, 475,400 plum buns, 69,2001 b. weight of Genoa cakes, 15,000 Queen cakes, 6,000 fancy cakes at 2d. each, 21,000 pastry tarts, 180,000 small cakes and biscuits, and 80,000 macaroons. These may be termed the lightest of the light re freshments, the kind of lunch, in fact, to which ladies would give that name as distinguished from what gentlemen would term a light repast namely, a meat pie and a bottle of bitter ale. With such unsubstantial diet as the cakes, only such drinks as tea or coffee, lemonade, or, at the most, liqueurs, would ever be ventured on, and these appear in exact proportion to the pastry. Ginger-beer ap pears to have been the favourite, heading the list with a clear majority of 20,000 over its competing beverages. Of this drink, as little known for cheer ing as inebriating, 123,000 bottics have been drunk, with 101,000 of lemonade, 31,000 of soda water, 10,500 of Seltzer water, and 930 pints of liqueurs. Of the pints of tea, coffee, and chocolate the register is as yet incomplete, as it is also about the number of sandwiches consumed, but that the former have been drunk and the latter eaten pretty extensively our readers may easily judge when we find the tea even to amount to 5,1951 b, the coffee to 8,3881 b, and the chocolate to 1,9221 b. Of herbaceous mixtures which we should translate as meaning mint juleps, if it were not now a question of ladies' diet-only eight bottles were sold-a moderate amount of con sumption, which in itself negatives whatever suppo sition might exist as to its being the Transatlantic drink. The amount of bread to all this modest sack is 44,000 small French loaves and 2,600 brown loaves. Thus far into this bill of fare we think we can distinctly trace the mouths of the ladies ; but now the gentlemen begin to make play in the long cata logue of light refreshments, which, to do them simple justice, they appear to have wished to make as heavy as the bill of fare of the Commissioners allowed. To these we suppose we must ascribe the 12 tons of cheese, the 112,000 pork pies, 27,480 other meat pies of various kinds, 189,0001 b weight of plain bread, 62,5001 b weight of bread cut into sandwiches, 1,4001 b of fresh butter, and 110,000 Abernethy and captains' biscuits. Assuredly the young men have been here both from London and the country too. Even M. Assolant says the English ladies drink nothing but rum, so that the matter is placed be yound a doubt when we come to examine the fluids which were drunk with these pies, sandwiches, &c. Let Burton hear it and rejoice that of Allsopp's chef d'oeuvre of malt and hops no less than .523,000 bottles were sold, and of draught 3,261 barrels ; in all no less than 1,600,000 pints. Of Ireland's famous drink, though nowhere drunk less than in Ireland Guinness's stout-there have been sold 259,000 bottles, and of Hoare and Co's draught stout 1,575 barrels, or in all upwards of 700,000 pints. Of wines or spirits scarcely any amount worth men tioning was sold over the counter. These, therefore, we will carry forward to the dinner account; for even after these lunches people must dine-at all events they seem to have thought so at the Exhibition, and to have dined pretty heartily too. Of soups over 100,000 quarts have been consumed, exclusive of ox-tail, the register of which only shows that 1,477 tails have been boiled down to make it, with 1,684 calves' heads for stock. Judging merely by the accounts, one is tempted with surmises as to what arrangements, if any, were made about these surplus animals whose heads only were wanted. Of salmon there have been used 6,5001 b; of eels, 1,4651 b ; of codfish, 92 ; of turbots, 393 ; haddocks, 6 ; soles, 1,210 ; brills, 3 ; John Doreys, 9 ; red mullets, 343 ; whitings, 493 doz.; smelts, 292 doz.; mackerel, 100 doz.; prawns, 2001 b; and whitebait, 1121 b, with 21 bushels of oysters for sauce, and 271 bushels for eating in lieu of fish. This extensive course appears to have been followed by one of butcher's meat to the valve of £22,000, or in weight 630,0001 b; 1,237 cwt of hams, 3,128 tongues, 11,234 fowls, 12 geese, 673 ducks, 632 turkeys, 84 capons, 8,960 pigeons, 290 partridges; 384 plover, with 42 dozen of their eggs ; 186 hares, 30 brace of quails, 41 brace of grouse, and 80 brace of pheasants. The bread and vegetables to these are in proportion ; thus there are 192,000 dinner rolls, with 192 tons of potatoes, 1,968 bunches of carrots, 912 bunches of turnips, 3,960 cucumbers, 6,647 cauli flowers, 222 baskets of mushrooms, 3,240 bunches of parsley, 2,857 bunches of mint, 463 bundles of celery, 3,464 bundles of mixed herbs, 4201 b of garlic, 208 bushels of onions, 6,600 quarts of shelled peas, 4,440 heads of greens, 390 bundles of asparagus, 109 bushels of spinach, and 531 b of currant jelly. After the dinner comes the salad, to furnish up which in its due proportion no less than 9,138 lobsters, with 72 crayfish, 182,754 heads of lettuce, 19,680 bunches of water -tresses, 10,800 beetroots, 20,592 baskets of small salad, 2,160 baskets of tarragon, with 400 gallons of salad oil, and 1,5001 b of mus tard, were required. For dessert and in pies there have been used 98 bushels of apples, 1501 b of filberts, 36 bushels of pears, 1,4281 b of currants, 4,2611 b of plain strawberries, with 4,0571 b for ice, and 4,0061 b of raspberries also for ice, 517 foreign pine -apples and 23 English ditto, 4,2681 b of cherries, 179 bushels of gooseberries, 1701 b of grapes, 128 dozen and 861 b of apricots, 46 dozen peaches, 396 bushels of plums and greengages, 6361 b of walnuts, 80 melons, 137 baskets of various hothouse dessert fruits, 2841 b of crystallised fruits, 9001 b of raisins, 5451 b of almonds, 3351 b of sultanas, 141 b of prunes, 621 b of dried French plums, 351 b of preserved gin ger, 371 b of pistachio nuts, 2601 b of figs, &c. With the dinners have been drunk 34,400 pints of sherry, 8,960 bottles of port, 21,750 bottles of champagne, 22,600 bottles of claret, and 18,800 bottle of various other wines. Of spirits there have been consumed 8,000 pints of brandy, 4,000 pints of gin, 1,600 pints of whisky, and 1,200 pints of rum, hollands, and other spirits. T in what may be termed the grocer's bill, the little sundries of this account, there appear such items of 2,829 gallons of pickles, 210 gallons of spice, 24 dozen pint tins of mushrooms, 2781 b of tomatoes, 1141 b of capers, 201 b of olives, 901 b of curry pow der, 1 barrel of anchovies, 251 b of vanilla, 30 cases of truffles, 28 bushels of split peas, 5441 b of gelatine, 551 b of cinnamon, 301 b of ginger, 2941 b of rice, 1261 b of coriander seeds, 1091 b of wax candles, 1101 b of soap, 7,1881 b of soda, 20 gallons of colza oil, 2361 b of paper bags, 7611 b of currants, 3341 b of candied peel, 3,0001 b of mustard, 14,9231 b of moist sugar, 67,1691 b of lump sugar, 112,000 eggs, 3,300 quarts of cream, 62,200 quart s o f m ilk, 211 b of mace, 4781 b of pepper, 251 b of c l oves , 65 tons of salt, 11.21 b of allspice, 431 b of mixed spice, 101 b of c ayenne, 52 sacks of flour, 203 cwt of salt butter, 12 cwt of lard, and 501 b of bitter almonds. The clear ice consumed has been nearly 800,000 lb weight. The staff required for the daily preparation and serving up of all these viands has been in propor tion to the colossal bill of fare. There have been 50 men cooks and 15 women cooks, 80 kitchen maids, 120 washers and cleaners, 300 men waiters, 260 barmaids, 30 clerks, 60 messengers, and 180 porters, w i t h nearly 100 waggon s . 4 , 3 96,000 feet of gas h a ve been use ewn d at st ienorni c as o u ' be k ohi i n i gn scalega, n w d au l i g h. w h i n t ag i g n ,a g &i , tc a u. n d d e : u tnl n gs d a e oln r f stand how a cer t a i n percentage of i 2 t 2 i s As ,oE si) g .a a tro l r l individuals must have been overlooked and ill I waited on, and how a certain number also must have , indigested their dinners to such an ext ent that no - thing but unsp , ring condemnation of the refresh ment department and all belonging to i t would re lieve their minds and bodies. To the gene rally well founded grievances of these our column s ha ye always been open, so that of their number an d qub.lity the public have been well able to judge. Now, how ever, that the Exh,:bition is nearly over, it is but fait• to Mr. Morris h, and to his manager, Mr. Ferran, to state that the complaints have been very few indeed, and that their exceptional nature may, therefore, i;e taken as a tacit proof that on the whole the departmet;t has been well administered. A WHALE- CHA.S.E IN ORKNEY, ______--4 , - On the afternoon of WeG inesda y week, iPtelli gence arrived in town that a i:arge number of boats were in pursuit of a great shca.t l of bottlenoses in Scapa. A considerable body of our townspeople accordingly hastened out to wittiess the animating spectacle. It was an exciting and inter esting scene, There could not be fewer than eighty oar-and-sail boats in pursuit, and the shoal of whales must have numbered between two and three hundred. The whales were rapidly coming in shore, and the boats, crescent-shaped, were pressing close in a dense phalanx behind them. The boatmen kept up a perpetual hallooing from end to end of the line. There was a fine fresh wind blowing, and there seemed every probability' of the shoal being stranded. The beach of Scapa is admit-ably adapted for the purpose, and great would have been the slaughter had the whales only aVprooched a few yards nearer the shore. Many of the boa; men, with ready-poised weapons, were actually preparing to leap into the water ; but the whales, getting alarmed, wheeled suddenly round, raising their gleaming fins and black heads and bodies out of the water. Breaking into two divisions, they charged through and under the compact line of boats . in vigorous and gallant style, making many of the craft heave and tremble as they swept furiously past. Some of the boats seemed greatly in danger• of being overturned. This was the most exciting part of the spectacle. Away, outward-bound, over the waters of the bay they went in magnificent styles ; their great dorsal fins gleaming in the sun, and sending arches and columns of spray high into the air. The boats turned rapidly in pursuit, and oarsmen bent their backs with a will ; but it soon became apparent that both divisions of the great shoal had out-distanced their pursuers by miles. Some sail-boats, meeting the lines in front, tried to turn them from their course ; but these stoppages had only the effect of scattering theta abroad, and rendering pursuit hopeless, as the shadows of evening were now fast descending on the sea. — Orkney Herald.
