:z ~_ TEE CIVIL WAR IN AMERICA. (From the Special Corespondent of the Times.) WEDNESDAY, APRIL 9. The news of two great events is carried to Europe "by this mail. One might have been, and, indeed, 'was anticipated as exceedingly probable, and affords another instance of the want of capacity in choosing defensive positions and in estimating the value of the enemy's means which has been illustrated by emveral similar actions on the part of the Ceenfede rates. Island No. 10 has suTrendered, with either the whole or a large part of its garrison, and the rout of the covering army, with a heavy loss in guns and prisoners. Thee other is, if the confused and hurried reports Which have been received up to the departure of the steamer are to be depended upon in the main, a battle of colossal dimensions, commenced by an attack of the Confederates from Corinth on the Federal army at Pittsburg, and ending in their repulfse after a prodigious, if not fabulous slaughter on both sides. Let us take a survey of the two events in due order. When the Confederates evacu u.ted Columbus by order of General Beauregard, who saw the position was net tenable in conse quence of the Federal adeeance and successes in Kentucky and Tennessee, they took their stand on an island in a bend of The Mississippi, abcut 45 miles ' from Columbus. The river here makes one of the remarkable turnee which distinguishes its course, forming two 'angles, or zigzags, the one which is higher up the stream' having its apex pointed south, the oilier having its apex towards the north. The left ' Tennessee bank was in the possession of the Crenfederates, and Island No. 10 lay just below the apex of the first zigzag close to the shore, over which there are at this point bluffs or high banks, the opposite shore on the Missouri, or right bank of the river being, as is usual where such bends occur along the Mississippi, low and swampy, and covered 'with dense forests of cotton wood. At the Missouri side, at the apex of the second angle, lies New Madrid, which is considerably to the north of the island, though it is some six miles below it on the river. Incredible as it may appear, the Confede rates overlooked the vital importance of this place so far that they allowed General Pope, ad reining along the Missouri side, to occupy it almost without any opte'osition. That active and able officer at once strengthened himself and pro ceeded to throw up powerful batteries below New Madrid on the right bank, so as to command the -river and intercept any communication with the -enemy from below. The transports and such gun boats as the Confederates posseesed were thus shut up between these lower batteries and the flotilla of Commodore Foote, whife'n had come down the river and was engaged in 'oombarding the island and the batteries defendirg it. The difficulties with which Commodore Foete had to contend have been de scribed i n a f r ermer letter, but he continued the bom bardment with perseverance, while under cover of it hie ',len were carrying out the ingenious and ad- Thiv eable idea of opening a communication with General Pope and the Mississippi below the enemy by cutting a canal from the right bank above them across the base of the triangle, at the southern apex of which is the island, to the river at the northern apex near New Madrid. The swampy nature of the country, at this time overflowed by the river, was favourable to such an undertaking, but, never theless, it was one of no ordinary magnitude under the circumstances, and its successful accomplish ment is 'very creditable to the Federals. It is ob vious that Island No. 10, at any time a weak if not an untenable position in face of a properly equipped mortar and gunboat flotilla, could only be secured by driving General Pope out of New MadrVe and recovering possession of both banks of the raver. Some feeble attempts in that direction anear to have been in contemplation, if we are to eiredit the rumours that Van Dorn, Price, and others were collecting troops to attack him. But they did not come. From the 20th of March up to the date of the surrender the mortar and gun boats, checked in their first attempts to re duce the island by a vigorous bombardment, con tinued a slow and laborious fire at regular intervals, to which the confederate batteries replied without effect. The results of the mortar firing, however inaccurate, must have been demoralising to the ill disciplined —as they would, indeed, be to any troops exposed to it without proper casemates and defences, although no precise information is to be had on that point, or in reference to their losses. The fiest offensive step of consequence was taken by Commodore Foote, who despatched Colonel Bu fora on the 31st of March, 'with some 3,500 men, to :ereak up a camp established at a place called Union City, which kept open the communications of the Confederates on the island, and on the bank of the river with Memphis. This was effected without opposition or loss, although the Confederates, if in force, might have fallen on the expeditionary co lumn and destroyed it. When the canal was com pleted, Commodore Foote sent some boats, flats, and barges by it to General Pope, which wefe safely carried through the Chepusi Bayou into the river again at New Madrid. Then, on the night of April 2, the armed launches of the flotilla made a dash at one of the strongest of the enemy's water batteries, landed. without a shot, spiked the seven guns re:minted in it effeetually,and returned in per fect, security without the less of a man. This was b'ut the prelude to another bold coup. On the night of Friday, April 4, the gunboat Carondelet set out in a storm of thunder and rain, and ran pat the Confederate batteries down to New Madrid; sustaining a wild and furious fire without a particle of damage. On the following Sunday night (April 6th) the gunboat Pittsburg ran the gauntlet with equal success and impunity. General Pope, thus strengthened and provided, also, with four small steamers and the barges sent through the canal, made a careful reconnaissance of the opposite shore on the 6th of April, and resolved to effect a landing below and in the rear of the enemy. One of the Confederate batteries was engaged and silenced by the Carondelet, and ender her fire a detachment of Illinois infantry landed, spiked the guns, and de molished the work very easily. Next day (April 7th) the two gunboats proceeded to a point near Tiptonville (Merriweather' s Landing), twelve miles below New Madrid, and destroyed the works covering the landing. The barges and steamers were at once put in requisition, and at 11 a.m. four regiments of infantry and one battery, under General Paine, were thrown across the river, on the Tennessee shore, and these were speedily re inforced by another division of equal strength under Gen. Granger. It is clear Gen. Pope had not the least apprehension of any attack on New Madrid. As soon as the Confederates were apprised of this movement in their rear cutting in on the line of their retreat they gave up all hope of holding their Position or escaping from it. Before 4 p.m. they sent a flag to announce the surrender of island No. 10. No doubt many of the garrison, if not the great majorit y, escaped, but they left behind them some 100 pieces of artillery, great quantities of ammuni tion and supplies, and all the sick they could not trove. Gen• P ptonville the aine, moreover, in his advance on 'mite evening, came upon General "Makall and 2,000 14 ,„: Whom he captured, together with baggage, A despatch amilluei ti°ll, and commissariat stores. from Ges eir i a Halleek, dated "St. 8, ,, recapitulate, Louis, April the success, " com pleteas and ovei-whelming" describes it, without the lose of " a single man," as foli o , " General Pope has captured three Generals, ofwar, 100 siege pie ce 6.000 prisoners field batteries, with inlraonS o quantities of small arms, tents, waggons, and horses." This is indeed Napoleonic . The fleeting batt e ry of the Confederates and several of their transp orts, steamers, and gunboat s h ave also fallen into th e C o nfederate s hands of the victors. Mean w hile the C massed at Corinth, in Missi ss ippi, under Generals Sidney, Johnston, and Beauregard were preparing to retrieve the fortunes of the Confederate cause by, a tremendous blow, tho consequences to be antici pated from which probably rendered them indif ferent to the fate they must have known to be im pending over Island No. 10. It may be remem bered that the Federal General Grant had, by late advices, advanced as far as Pittsburg, below Savannah, and at the opposite side of the Ten nessee river, where he was awaiting the arrival of General Buell before he attacked the Confede rates. As far as can be judged, the Confederates marched from Corinth on Thursday, April 4 ; the right, under Johnston, marching towards Ham burg, below Pittsbarg; the left, under Peauregard, proceeding by the Mobile and Ohio Railroad to wards Purdy, which lies in from the river and a little higher than Pittsburg, where they had pre viously established corps of observation. It is not possible to estimate their forces, but recent accounts gave the total strength of the Confederates at Corinth as 75,000 men, though a correspondent of a New York paper affirmed they had not 40,000. Neither can it be known as yet whether the Generals effected a junction of their forces. It is most likely they made a combined attack. At all events, at daybreak on Sunday morning (April 6) the Confederates fell on Grant with the utmost fury, and seem, even from the Federal accounts, to have broken and routed the Federals, who were, they allege, but 38,000 strong, while the Confederates are stated to have mustered 60,000. Their efforts were principally directed against the left wing, where General Prentiss was posted, and the camps and tents of the infantry sta. tioned there were cleared out by their tremendous fire, which must have come upon the Federals in the nature of a surprise. General Prentiss and many of his men were taken prisoners early in the day; " large numbers of men, panic struck, others worn out with hard fighting, with the average percentage of skulkers, straggled towards the river, and could not be rallied." Sherman's division, on the right of Prentiss's, was driven out of their camp in disorder, and the right wing, under M'Clernand, was imme diately afterwards assailed with equal vigour, and held its ground with difficulty. The energy of the Southerners did not endure to the end, though the battle raged all day along a front of four miles. The resistance of the Federals was all the more obstinate that they had the Tennessee behind them, and knew General Buell was coming to their assistance. The airival of the reserve under Gene ral Hurlburt somewhat restored the centre; the Confederates were repulsed, but again they re formed, and again they beat the Federals out of their camps. Late in the evening the Confede rates, seeing that Buell's corps had actually arrived at the opposite side of the river, and that another reinforcement wss coming up from Savannah in all haste, renewed their efforts, at five o'clock "occu pied two-thirds of our camp," and "at the same time heavily engaged our right ;" they had gained the river bank, but the superiority of the Federals in artillery now stood them in good stead, " Colonel Webster, Chief of the Staff, got into position the heaviest pieces of artillery, while a large number of the batteries were planted along the entire line, from the river bank north-west to our extreme right, some two and a half miles distant. About an hour before dusk a general cannonade was opened upon the enemy along our whole front with a per petual crackle of musketry. For a short time the rebels replied with vigour and effect, but their re turn shots grew less frequent and destructive, while ours grew more rapid and terrible." Not only were the Confederates on the right exposed to this fire, but the gunboats Lexington and Tyler, we are told, coming up, "rained shell on the rebel hordes" at short distance, and at night fall the battle ceased, and Federals and Confederates rested from their bloody labours, and lay on their arms on the field. With night, however, came help to the exhausted Unionists. Major-General Wallace, who had mis taken his road, arrived before midnight. Brigadier- General Nelson's division also reached the field, and took ground on the right, and was followed by Gene ral Crittenden's division, which formed in support, and General Buell in person came over to take com mand of his corps and to eonsu.lt with the Generals as to the best means of retrieving the fortunes of the day. It was resolved to attack the enemy at dawn, and the divisions of Nelson and Wallace were ac cordingly moved in advance, and opened fire on the Confederates as soon as it was light, the divisions of M'Clernand, Sherman, and Hurlburt being in sup port. Although the Confederates' "resistance at all points of the attack was terrible, and worthy of a better cause," they gradually gave ground before " the dreadful desolation produced by our artil lery, which was sweeping them away like chaff before the wind." At one time it is confessed they " gained ground," but the left, consisting of Nelson's fresh men, was driving them before it, and at 11 a.m. General Buell had outflanked them and ",captured their batteries." Again the uonieuerates rallied on the left, and beat back the Federals. The Confederate right at the same time must have de feated the enemy, for we are told " they forced themselves forward in another desperate effort." The odds were, however, now turning rapidly against them, in spite of a valour and desperate courage which excites the unwilling admiration of the Federals. "Reinforcements from General Wood and General Thomas were coming in—regi ment after regiment"—which were sent to General Buell. At 3 p.m. General Grant, perceiving that the Confederates were wavering before these continued attacks of fresh troops, " ordered a portion of his body guard to the head of each of five regiments," and led a charge which decided the fate of the day. " The men followed with a shout which sounded above the din of the artillery, and the rebels fled in dismay as from a destroying avalanche," and did not make another stand. At 530 the Confede rates were in full retreat for their strong position at Corinth, pursued by the Federal cavalry, with what result is unknown,—probably with very little. And now as to the losses on both sides. It is not necessary to observe that the " Eighteen to Twenty Thousand Union Men, and Thirty-five to Forty Thousand Rebels Killed, Wounded, and Missing," will be found an exaggeration. Nevertheless, the number on both sides must be pretty considerable, and will, no doubt, entitle the battle of Pittsburg to a bloody page in history, though it may not be deserving of the sad distinction of the "Bloodiest Fight of Modern Times," which is given to it in the " sensation" headings of the newspapers. Of the Confederate losses we shall not learn anything for some time to come. It is confidently asserted that General A. S. Johnston was killed by a round shot on Sunday, and. General Beauregard, with less ca., tainty, is reported to have lost an arm. The list of the Federal losses are not yet made out. It is known already, however, that General Wallace and Acting Brigadier-General Pegram are killed. Gen. Sherman and Acting Brigadiers-General Sweeny, Crafts, and D. Stuart are wounded. Gen. Prentiss is taken. Of Colonels, Ellis (10th Illinois) is killed, and Davis (46th Illinois), Kyle (41st Indiana), and Stout (18th Kentucky) are most dangerously, if not mortally wounded. Colonel Sweeny received two wounds in his only arm, having lost one in Mexico, and was also wounded in the leg, but kept his horse throughout the day. Colonels Craft (31st Illinois), Hayne (48th Illinois), M'Kenny (17th Kentucky), Morgon (25th Indiana), and Mason (71st Ohio), are wounded more or less severely. Major Goddard (15th Illinois), Lieut. Canfield (72d Ohio), Major Eaton (18th Illinois), Captain Irving Curran, Aide dc-Camp, Captain Preston Moreton, Captain Dillon (18th Illinois), Captain Mace (sth Illinois), Captain Carter (11th Illinois), and Major Page (57th Illi nois), are killed. The loss of officers and men will doubtless be in l;roportion to that of the colonels of regiments, and it must be remembered the returns are as yet most imperfect. What the results will be it is not easy to predicate till more accurate accounts have been received of the condition of the Confede rates after the battle. It is plain enough their mis calculation as to 13uell's movements cost them the day, and that the Federals must have been beaten but for his opportune arrivals. The Southern papers claim, indeed, a great victory, and assert that the Confederates took eight batteries of artillery and numbers of prisoners. If they retired in tolerable °l lleriwithout suffering the enormous losses ascribed s~ttheria, they will doubtless halt at their strong po- B ` t io's near Corinth, and Buell and Grant, crippledf the d , fere gator which the Federals confess to have st wait t o reorgan i se th e i r arm y an d re ceive reinforcements before they att em pt e ith er an a ttack in front or to move round either flank in the difficult country arat 'lathe Confederate camp. Amid all their reverses the Ccmfetterates have been cheered lately byrumoul s that Ro ta , great event was about to take place in their favour. Their newspapers have alluded to it ; and in Baltimore and openly by Secessioneilaste s7t h h e o r u e g i h t has no been predicted one could, or would, t;ay what was its precise nature. LONDON, WEDNESD Y EVE YINGrg, APRIL 23, 1862. THE SUN In New York the effect of the news is not very ex hilarating. "Do you know the news ? Have you seen the -- ? Beauregard has lost an arm, and Johnston is killed." Stuff. I don't believe a word of it. You know how the lies." This brief dialogue expresses with tolerable accuracy the pub lic opinion withregard to theuncorroborated reports of some of the New York papers. Indeed, so far does this incredulity operate that the fall of No.lo was not believed in New York till the papers pub. lished the official despatches. Henceforth, it must be remembered that the Government of Washington or Mr. Stanton is the sole newsagent in the United States. The papers are only permitted to publish what is given to them ; the telegraph is in its hands, and there is at least one flagrant instance of its being used by authority to disseminate an un truth as to matters of fact. No Federal reverse, if there be any, will ever be heard of till long after it has occurred. The world must bear these things in mind, and remember, too, that everything is considered fair in "the War for the Union." The important and exciting intelligence from the West hes meantime cast the movements of the Grand Army of the Potomac into the sh Ade, and rendered them for the time of inferior importance. But T am able to assure you that for the present Gen. 11 1`Clellan's advance is checked by the formid able position of the enemy in front of Yorktown ; nor is it too much to say that the expedition against New Orleans has as yet made no progress, and has, indeed, met with u reverse, instead of capturing the city, which was confidently predicted for the close of last month. There are no longer any positive assurances that Charleston or even Savannah is doomed in a few days, and by the latest accounts Burnside, so far from being in a position to advance against Goldsborough, was apprehensive of being attacked at Newbern. Let me briefly recapitulate what has been done by the great expedition under the command of General M'Clellan. On Tuesday, the Ist of April, General M'Clellan and his staff embarked on board the Commodore, and steamed from Alex andria down the Potomac to Fortress Monroe, where they arrived on Wednesday. Thursday was occupied in arranging for the advance, and at day light on Friday morning the troops around For tress Monroe struck their tents, and commenced their march up the peninsula towards Richmond. The peninsula, at the northern base line of which stands the Confederate capital, is formed by the York River on the left, and by the James River on the right, and stretches between them about 70 miles as the crow flies, narrowing to wards its southern extremity, at the base of which are New port News and Fortress Monroe. At Yorktown, which is situated on the York River, about 20 miles from Fortress Monroe, the peninsula is little more than six miles across in a direct line to the James River. The main, if not the only road to Richmond, beginning at the village of Hampton, near Fortress Monroe, runs through Great Bethel to Yorktown, and thence, striking to the centre of the peninsula, proceeds through Williamsburg and Chiswell to Richmond, which it enters north of James River, here much contracted. The penin sula is thinly populated, and badly cultivated, much of the land being exhausted, and it is deeply indented by swampy creeks on both sides, is watered by many small brackish streams, and by one more considerable tributary, the Chickaho maney river, which rises north of Richmond and • falls into James River. The latter, which is a broad estuary at its outflow, carries deep water within 20 miles or so of Richmond, where it sud denly contracts, and loses the peculiar Solway-like character which marks the Chesapeake and its affluent rivers. The York Ri ver is still broader an d deeper, but the channel generally trends by the southern shore, within range of the woods which fringe it, and the stream turns away to the north from Richmond before it assumes a new name by which it is known in Central Virginia. It must be ;remembered that Virginia is now invaded by three Federal armies—that of Banks, which is operating in the valley of the Shenandoah ; that of M'Dowell, which is now advancing from Manassas towards the line of Fredericksburg and the Rappahannoek ; and the great army under M'Clellan. Heintzelman, as you were informed some time ago, led the advance of M'Clellan's army, and, moving off his ground on the morning of the cirri La npru, Immo. rue (tem.. _ Confederates at Great Bethel and other places along the road in good order. The farmers who remained in their houses did what is called " expressing Union sentiments." Soon after 12 o'clock the first sign of the enemy's presence was given by the appearance of cavalry videttes and skirmishers on a ridge beyond the miserable village called " Half-way House" (not the place marked on the maps). They fell back before the Pennsylvanian cavalry, which covered the Federal advance. From a fieldwork below this ridge the Confederates opened fire with some light guns, which were engaged by the Massa chusetts battery and a regillar United States battery, and by two companies of sharpshooters. The enemy retired their guns, the Federals gained the top of the ridge, and beheld thence a series of earthworks, intrenchments, and batteries extending from the York River away to the left as far as the eye could reach. The sight was anything but pleasing, for, notwithstanding the prevalence of " Union senti ments," the Federals had no information of the existence of such "formidable" works. A recon naissance was made, and it was resolved to halt the troops for the night in the deserted Confederate cantonments, which were named " Camp Misery," not because of the badness of the quarters, which are eulogised as being well floored and lighted log houses, with windows, as comfortable as city houses, but because of the rain and of the mud through which the Federals struggled to reach it. The houses were full 9f children left behind by their parents, the males of whom had gone off to fight for " Seces sion." Several Federals were killed and wounded in the advance, which was made in regular order on a wide front—Sedgwick being on the right, Porter •in the centre, Hamilton and Smith on the left. It was soon obvious that the earthworks were not of a character to be faced by the Federal infantry. The generals reconnoitred in vain, and the whole day was spent in a useless long-range cannonade by field artillery " at three-quarters of a mile," am' by " sharpshooters at half a mile." The flotilla which moved up the York River did not encounter any opposition, and the Confederates abandoned their works at Ship Point, on the Pognosin river below Yorktown, which was immediately occupied by the Federals. It was at one time contemplated to send a division of gunboats up the James River, but since the appearance of the Virginia (Merrimac) and her consorts off Craney Island nothing has been heard of that operation. Ship Point is seven or eight miles below Yorktown, and affords some facilities for landing troops, and three or four battalions were sent up there by General da W y . p o ° a l e s o e n d Su ndy without a Saturday, Sunday, any aturday, Sunday, attempt to face or turn the enemy, who are reported to be 25,000 or 30,000 strong, but preparations were being made to reduce the works by guns of position and vertical fire. This may prove such tedious work that the expectations entertained in Washington that "M'Clellan will be in Richmond on Thursday" (April 10) may not be realized any more than the prophecies were that he would be in Yorktown on Sunday night. On Monday (the 7th) the Merrimac made her appearance out of Norfolk once more; but by latest accounts she was lying off Craney Island along with the Yorktown, Jamestown, and four tugs.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEW3IARKET CRAVEN MEETING.—TITEsDA.Y A large increase on the attendance of yesterday plainly indicated the interest taken in the awearance of Old Cala bar as a three-year old, the second apearanee this season of Caractacus, and the Newmarket Handicap. At an early hour the town was in a bustle, and LI 11 o'clock the High , street was full of sightseers, racing mm, and market people. Ten events stood on the list for decisim, the first being fixed for a quarter past 12, and the Great Handicap at a quarter past 3. The sunshine vanished, and rain set in at the mo ment of the sport commencing, and tie showers continued with little intermission for three hours. Old Calabar dis posed of his only opponent with the greatest ease ; but the bookmakers did not afterwards like him for the Derby. The Newmarket Handicap produced an interesting race, with a large field, and the Biennial showed 11 3-yr-olds ready to test the quality of Caractacus. He was easily defeated by Duke Rollo, who was immediately inquired after for the Derby, but did not reach any short price. The weather had cleare - I up before the last two races were run, and rendered the closing scene quite agreeable. A Free Handicap of 25 sovs each, 10 ft., for 3 -yr-olds. Winners extra. The highest weight accepting being 7st 51b, it was raised to Sst 121 b, and the others in proportion. - - T,Y.C. Five subs. Lord Glasgow's br f Coalition, 7st 71b (W. Bottom) 1 Mr, R.

Shortly prior to starting Yarra broke away with her tiny rider, and after running some distance she got him off, but fortunately without injury, and he was speedily remounted, and joined his horses, which were at once despatched from the post. On settling into their places Carisbrook was seen with a clear lead, followed in a body by Yarra, Lord Coventry's pair, Finlande, and Millionaire, the others lying close up with them. With little or no alteration they came across the flat, and on making the turn of the lands Carisbrook's lead somewhat diminished, and ho was joined shortly after by Sappho, Yarra, Stanton, Millionaire, Vic tor, Ducat, and Carbineer, the two latter running wide on the upper ground ; then came Finlande on the lower side, with Aurelian, Gabrielle d'Estrees, and Elcho in close at tendance, the others beginning to exhibit unmistakeable symptoms of defeat. On reaching the site of the old Duke's Stand the leading horses closed up, and shortly after Yarra was observed to pause and stagger, Ducat, we believe, hav ing struck her on the off foreleg, which was badly broken, and she fell, Mr, Saville's colt also nearly coming down, but he was quickly recovered by French. Rising the hill Finlande held a slight lead, closely waited upon by Carla brook, Victor, Sappho, Millionaire, Aurelian, Carbineer, and Ducat, to which lot the race was confined ; but on their fairly reaching the brow the French representative was beaten, and, with Ducat, gave way to Millionaire, Sappho, Carisbrook, Stanton, Victor, and Lord Zetland, who came on in close company to the half distance, when Edwards brought up Carbineer, who in a few strides after obtained a decided lead, and won easily by a length and a half, two lengths separating the second and third. Finlande was a bad fourth placed by the judge, dose up with whom were Stanton, who finished fifth, the next lot being headed by Ducat, Aurelian, Victor, Watchfire, and Prince Plausible, the last being Elcho, Flirtation, Gabrielle d'Estrees, and South Lancashire.

(Fro7n the Registrar-General's IFeekly Return.) The weekly return of the Registrar-General states that in the week that ended last Saturday the deaths registered in London were 1,331. The average Weeks number for correspondingeeks in ten years 1852- 61 (corrected) is 1,249. The present return exhibits an excess of 82 over the average. The births were MOM numerous last week than the deaths in the same period, by 5 85. Measles and scarlatina show an increase in the returns of last week. The deaths from the former rose to 37, these from 'the latter to 75. A large ma jority of the cases of measles occurred in the east districts—there were 5 in the sub- district of St. Mary St. George-in-the-East, the name number in Bow, and 4in Poplar. Out of the 75 deaths from scarlatina, 41 occurred in the south districts; 4 were returned in the sub-district Lambeth Church, first, and as many as 11 in Lambeth Church, second. There were also 4 from scarlatina in Rotherhithe, and 8 in St. Paul Deptford, 4 in Fulham, 4 in Ren tish Town, 4in Islington West. No less than 42 deaths from scarlatina have occurred in Lambeth Church, second, in the last three weeks. Of 79 deaths from typhus 12 were returned by the Lon don Fever Hospital, 5 by the workhouse, Mile-end New Town. The deaths from phthisis were nume rous ; they rose to 174. A washerwoman, aged 40 years, died in the workhouse, Mile-end New Town, ' from privation and asthma. A woman died in Guy's Hospital from " vaginal fistula; chloroform; fatty heart." A spinster died at 1, Alpha-road, Deptford, at the great age (as reported) of 102 years. Mr. Simpson, the registrar of North St. Giles, registered no death from any cause in the week, a circumstaxce which has not occurred to him before during a pe riod of 16 years in which he has held his office. Last week the births of 955 boy and 961 girls, in all 1,916 children, were registered in London. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1852-61 the average number (corrected) was 1,943. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean hei‘lit of the barometer in the week was 29.861 in. The reading of the barometer rose to 30.09 in. on Sunday (the 13th), and fell to 29.68 in. on Satur day. The mean temperature of the air in the week was 43.5 deg., which is 2.5 deg. below the average of the same week in 43 years (as determined by Mr, Glaisher). The mean daily temperature was below the average on the first four days; on the first two the amount of depression was 9 deg. and 8 deg,; on Saturday there was an excess of mean temperature equal to 5.8 deg. The lowest night . temperature occurred on Sunday, and was 26.7 deg. • The highest temperature was 58.6 deg. on Saturday. The range of the thermometer in the week was therefore 31.9 deg. The mean daily range was 17.6 deg. The difference between the mean dew-point temperature and air temperature was 7.4 deg. ; on Thursday it was 11.4 deg. The mean degree of humidity of the air was 78, com plete saturation being represented by 100. The wind was generally in the north-east till Wednes day, and then in the south-west. The mean of the highest temperatures of the water of the Thames was 46.2 deg, ; the mean of the lowest was 44.1 deg. THE EXECUTION OF MOGUL BEG AT DELHI. The following are a few particulars regarding the appre hension, trial, and execution of one Mogul Beg, a ringleader of a small but reckless band of men who commenced the cruel slaughter of defenceless Europeans in the Palace of Delhi on the 11th of May, 1857. It can scarcely fail to be within the recollection of all that when rebellion first openly broke out at Delhi, fiendish passions which were absolutely disgraceful to humanity gained a fearful ascendancy in the minds of the fanatical. Under the influence of such inhuman feelings the turbulent element of society became ungovernable, and atrocities were then committed the recital of which will for ever darken the page of Indian history. It was on the eventful 11th of May that Mr. Simon Fraser, Commissioner and Agent to the Lieutenant-Gover nor at Delhi ; Captain Douglas, Commandant of the Palace Guards ; Mr. Hutchinson, the Rev. Mr. Jennings, Miss Jennings, and Miss Clifford fell victims to the merciless fury of those whom they had never in any way wronged. The perpetrators of such base deeds escaped for a time all punishment, and the sacred blood of our countrymen re mained unexpiated. But after mutiny was quelled by force and peace re-established throughout the Indian Peninsula, Justice again appeared, firmly demanding life for life. Then began toe s6aren for those wuuao ursuws were us sum a dyo as altogether to exclude them from the operation of her Majesty's most gracious amnesty. Among this number, Mogul Beg fled for his life from place to place, making long journeys, with the full convic tion that he was being tracked. Rtwards were offered for his apprehension' The search went on for years, until at last he was taken in Scinde, many hundreds of miles from the scene of his guilt. The Palace murders occurred in May, 1857. He was seized in the Khyrpoor gaol in November, 1861, sent down to Delhi, and committed for trial January 27, 1862. His identity was unquestionably determined as a former inha bitant of Delhi, and a sepoy in one of the two regiments entertained by the ex• King. The evidence against him was that of trustworthy " eye witnesses," who, in former days, well knew the prisoner by sight. He was seen by six witnesses cutting down and killing Mr. Fraser. He was seen, with his sword covered from point to hilt with blood, standing over the corpses of the young ladies. He was heard triumphing that he had done so. He was proved to have gone, in company with others, to ask a reward from the King for performing such deeds. He was seen and heard giving orders how and when the plate and other plundered property of those who had been murdered should be removed. He exultingly displayed in public the pistol which had belonged to Captain Douglas, whom he had killed after he was seriously hint by his fall into the moat. Altogether, judicial proof in such a case could not have been more perfect. The prisoner's defence was extremely weak. He endea voured to establish an alibi, naming four witnesses, two of whom said not a word which could in any way clear the prisoner, while the other two distinctly contradicted his own defence. He admitted that between himself and several of the witnesses there had been no personal enmity. Thus, while the evidence for the prosecution was over whelming and conclusive, the prisoner's own defence amounted to nothing at all. Accordingly, Mogul Beg was found guilty of the murder of at least four Europeans, and sentenced to be hanged in front of the Lahore-gate of the Delhi P alace, wheal), nearly five years before, his crimes had been committed. On the morning of the 14th of March at daybreak the prisoner slowly mounted the scaffold, which was guarded by a body of mounted and foot police. He was a large powerful man, with a sinister cast of countenance, aged 35. In a few words ha called upon the Mahomedans who were congregated in front of him to bear him in remembrance. The rope and cap were adjusted, an order was given, the drop fell, and the prisoner's fate was sealed. His body hung for an hour with heavy fetters on the legs and the arms pinioned. The above facts are narrated in no vindictive spirit, and in the sincere hope that they may not harass the feelings of any surviving friends of those lamented ones who fell early victims in the rebellion. Tho following is an extract of the proceedings of the Ju dicial Commissioner of the Punjab in the case : " Sad as are the details disclosed in this trial, still, as regards the young ladies, it is comfort to be able to believe firmly (as the evidence hero recorded warrants us in doing) that they were murdered then and there in the first confu sion of the outbreak. The prisoner was seen standing with drawn sword over their bodies. ti it is also consolatory for the friends of the deceased public officers to know that they fell at their posts, doing their best to stem the outbreak, of the extent of which they had no conception." Comforting indeed it is (although it be but a mournful comfort) to know that the death of the young ladies was quick and hasty, and that they were in no way made the victims of further insult or atrocity. Again, it is a source of pride to think that our fellow-countrymen died like men, doing all that lay in their power to stay disturbances which it required a powerful army to quell. Incidentally it is satisfactory to look back upon the co operation of the native States in bringing the criminal to justice. His Highnest; the Maharajah of Jyepore himself offered 5,000 rupees for his apprehension. The moral effect of this protracted and finally successful track of the murderer, extending over very nearly five years, has been considerable. It is well to know that all States and Powers in India unite so cordially with the civil British Power in hunting down great criminals against their common society. Another circumstance affords satisfaction, and that is the undoubted certainty of the guilt of the accused,, the utter want of sympathy with him from first to last on the part of his countrymen, and the conviction in their minds that the sentence was meet and fit for the crime. Among the crowd present at the execution the 'remark passed round, and was overheard) " Truly this man has had his deserts" (" Beskuk huk paia.")

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-April 22. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CAPTAIN Ac- 1 KEIILEY AGAlN.—Captain Ackerley, accompanied by a foreigner, presented himself in the witness box, and producing the 24th and 25th Victoria, demanded under that act to appear for the foreigner as his counsel. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he could only hear the party himself or his attorney. Captain Ackerley replied that the party was a foreigner, without money, and unable to Speak EnglislL Mr. Tyrwhitt could not depart from the rules usually observed in police courts. The foreigner then came forward, and stated that his name was Peter Basquet, and that he had some claims against the Go;'ernmevt. Captain Ackerley said the circumstances were well known to Lord Palmerston, who wanted to throw his protege overboard, but he lod stepped in, and had alreaey spent £1,600 in the pursuit of his rights. The foreigner then in disjointed English said hie flag had been taken from him, awl as was under stood he had been deprived of his official appoint ment unjustly. Mr. Tyrwhitt said the matter was out of his jurisdiction. The application must be made to the Lord Mayor. Captain Ackerley—No, this is the proper court. A summons is wanted against Mr. Arthur Black more and Mr. Jeffrey Stanley, who issued the order. Mr. TyrkThitt—l distinctly refuse to grant a summons. Captain Ackerle:7—Will you give a certificate to that effect. Mr. Tyrwhitt—l will not. Captain Ackerley here burst out violently, de claring he was a magit3tratc :Ind would not submit to the insults he was constantly. receiving. The parties then left the court. BBENTFORD PETTY CAUTION TO BUTCHERS, DROVERS, &c. At tho Petty Sessions, at the Town-hall, Brentford (Mr. F. 11. N. Glossop and a full bench of magietrates), T-Tenry Hetherington, a butcher, Wm. Widdick, a labourer, and Richard Weight, a lad in Hetherington's employ, were charged by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, the former with having caused and procured a bull to be cruelly ill-treated and tortured, and the latter two with having ill•treated and tortured the same animal at Ealing on the 10th inst. Mr. Wm. Love, instructed by the secretary of the Royal Society, attended to conduct the prosecution. The evidence, which was lengthy, was fully explained in Mr. Love's opening, from which it appeared that the bull originally belonged to Baron Rothschild, and was kept on the baron's estate at. Gunnessbury, being a very docile animal. A serious accident happening to one of its hind legs, and all the care bestowed on it by the baron being of no avail, the baron humanely ordered that it should be sold to be slaughtered without delay. The defendant (Hether ington) became the purchaser, stipulating to send a convey-. ante for it to the Kingston market on the following day, but instead of doing so resolved if the animal could be made to do so it should travel the distance on foot, notwithstan4- ing it was unable to put its injured foot to the ground. Widdick, who was employed to drive it, procured a long pole with an iron hook at the end of it, and fastened this to a ring which was passed through the animal's nos tril, and so by dint of tugging and wrenching at its nostril, assisted by the defendant Weight, who beat it in a most brutal manner about the injured leg, the poor animal was got as far as Kew-bridge, where it came to a standstill, and at that time some gentlemen combat up, and seeing the state it was in, interfered and caused it to be slaughtered and put out of its agony. The witnesses described the animal's sufferings to have been intense, and it took nearly five hours to get it to the shed 150 yards off. Mr. Love urged that the defendant Hetherington's motive could only have been to save himself the expense of a con veyance, thereby defeating the humane intentions of the baron. He therefore felt bound to press for a severe punish ment. The Chairman said the Bench could come to no other conclusion than that cruelty of the grossest kind had:been inflicted upon the poor animal. Ho should fine the defen dant Hetherington £2 and costs, or a month; Widdick, £1 and costs or 14 days; and Weight would be cautioned and discharged. The Chairman also said the cowman who per mitted the bull to be removed in such a state, disregarding his master's orders, deserved censure. The Lord Chief Baron Pollock occupied a scat on the bench, and the case created considerable interest. FR0.31 TEE GAZETTE OP LAST NIGHT. FOREIGN-OFFICE.
