'Mr:Webster warmly eulogised the association, and concluded- by proposing "'The Health of the Secretary, Mr. Anson." In the c0y...7 - s° of ltis-remarks•Mr. Anson stated that owing to the prevalence of sickness, the cases relieved during tbe last six menths Were - almost as numerous as in the whole of the previous year. Assistance had been afforded in 31 cases,and 72 journeys had been paid for. Mr.' Webster proposed the chairman's health, who gave in return that of Mr. Roberts, coupling his name with the toast of" The Fine Arts." Mr. Thos. Taylor then introduced a toast which he said was always welcome, but was that night attended with peculiar interest--" The Ladies." Mrs. Stirling, on behalf of her professional sisters, thanked the Dra matic Association for the change in the order of their dining, and in a short speech, delivered with feeling and great ease of manner, touched on the evils from which the association was calculated to rescue poor actresses. The company shortly after wards adjourned to the ball-room, where the festi vities were prolonged to an advanced hour. Under the leadership of Mr. Genge, several well-known musical artistes contributed to the success of the festival ; and Mr. Toole, as usual, volunteered his . services as toastmaster.

On rounding the turn into the straight Abron slipped his horses, and came on with a clear lead of several lengths, Vertumna going on second, Blacklock third, with Sacerdos at his girths next. In this way they ran to half-way in the distance, where the favourite obtained the third place, but was unable to reach Abron, who won in a canter, by four lengths; two lengths between second and third; Blacklock was a bad fourth; the others beaten off.

Princess Louisa, next the rails on the far side, jumped away with a slight lead, having for her immediate followers Bat tery, Little Woman, and Hugh Lupus, the others, headed by the favourite, in the centre, Mention and Herdsman lying close in their wake. On reaching the distance Prin ceSs Louisa gave way to Marmion, who came on with the running, on the near side, Princes's Louisa being second, Battery third, Herdsman fourth, with the favourite, at his girths, next ; the others widely spread bringing up the rear.

Liberality, in company with Grant and Cowslip, made the running, with the others in close attendance to the dis tance, where Grant dropped back, and his place was taken by Harmony, who went on in attendance upon the two leaders, who laid locked together, and finished a fine run home with a dead heat, Harmony finishing half a length in their rear; the Prieit was a good fourth, close up with whom were Grant and Miss Mary; the other two were beaten off some distance. AMERICA, General Wallace sent up four regiments to support his division, who were nearly out of ammunition. "From the commencementtill near ten o'clock the fighting was terrific. " The three brigades composing General Al'Cler nand's division bore the brunt of the battle. " It was found that the enemy was concentrating main force to turn our right, Which Was done by our men getting out of ammunition, and in the con fusion of getting up reinforcements retreating about half a mile. As soon as the division, which had stood its ground - manfully forthree hours, retired, the enemy occupied the field, when General Grant ordered General Smith to move forward his division and storm the enemy's works on our left. This order was obeyed with great alacrity, and soon the cheering of the soldiery was heard, and the Union flag displayed from within the enemy's entrench ments. " General Grant then sent word to General M'Clernaud that General Smith was within the enemy's entrenchments, and ordering their forces to move forward and renew the attack on their right. One of General Wallace's brigades—the 11 th Indiana, Bth Missouri, and some Ohio regiments— was rapidly thrown into position, and Company A of the Chicago Light Artillery was planted in the road,. and as the rebels, supposing.the Federals were in retreat, came out of their works into the road, the Chieago soldiers poured a hailstorm of grape and canister into their ranks, slaughtering dozens of them. " Simultaneously with this the infantry began firing itt , ,witi i , atict the :rebels went pellimell back into their works, our men advancing and taking possession of the ground lost, and of a hill besides. Fresh troops _wllo had not been in action was then thrown forward, and as night drew on the Federals were in a strong position to participate in a simul taneous attack to be made on Sunday morning. Generals Ogelsby's, Wallace's, and M'Artbui/Fbri gades did the hardest fighting, and suffered-terribly. They would undoubtedly have held their first posi tion but for the failure of the ammunition. The ammunition waggons were some distance off, the hills preventing their being moved. The Federals lost three lieutenant-colonels, and at least one quarter Of all the other officers were wounded or killed. ;' - "During Saturday night a contraction of alp our lines was made for a ,simultaneous assault from every point, and orders were given by General Grant to take the enemy at the point of the bayonet. Every man, was at his post. The 57th Illinois was on the eitreme right. " At daylight' the advance was made, and when the full light of day broke forth white flags were hung at many places along the enemy's works. "An officer at a convenient point was informed that they had stacked their arms and surrendered early in the morning, the following correspondence having passed between - the commanders : " GENERAL BUCKNER TO GENERAL GRANT.

A. A. Cochrane, C. 8., was towed on Wednes day morning from Plymouth Sound into Hamoaze, where she will refit, and have defects made good. It is expected that the Revenge and St. George, in Plymouth Sound, v6ll__ahortly be removed to Hamoaze. The Balaklava, screw transport, is discharging at Portsmouth the guns and equipment complete for the I and K batteries of Armstrong field :artil lery, ordered to he stationed at Hilsea, The Defence, 16, s crew iron frigate, Capt. R. A. Powell, C. 8., steamed out of Portsmouth harbour shortly before high water yesterday, and anchored at Spithead, in readiness for her second trial of speed at the measured mile, or her cruise in the Channel, as the Admiralty may direct. The trial had been arranged to take place on Tuesday last, but on rais ing the screw to examine it, in consequence of the ship's getting on the ground in returning to the harbour from her former trial, it was found to have sustained such damage that it became necessary to replace one of its blades, which had been damaged, by another, before the ship was again put under steam. This was accomplished on Tuesday, but too late for the trial to take place, and it was in conse quence postponed until yesterday. A strong south west gale, however, again postponed the trial, and the ship, as already stated, brought up at Spit head, pending further instructions from the Ad miralty. In leaving the harbour the Defence yes. terday again manifested great want of readiness in answering her helm. Her engines were reversed on one part of her course to save her from getting upon the beach. The Defence is fitted with a bent iron tiller, similar to that of the Warrior, which ought to have great power over her helm. The barrel of her wheel, however, appears to be of too great diameter. Whatever the cause may be, it would appear to be remediable, if the fact of her quickness of movement when once she gives sign of obeying her helm is to be trusted to. The eight men at her wheel seem to expend a great deal of muscular force without producing an alteration in the ship's course in the time usually allowed. This certainly indicates a loss of power somewhere be tween the wheel and the rudder head. The fault, however, will, without doubt, be discovered, and, if possible, rectified before the ship again gets under weigh. The casing and extension of the rudder of the Black Prince, iron frigate, is being carried out at Portsmouth with wood as an experiment. The area of the rudder will be increased from 20 feet draught of water downwards. The ship's bulwarks and main decks have within the last few days received their first coat of paint since she has been at Ports mouth. Her hammock nettings and upper deck portlids are now complete. Her new fish-heads, however, are not yet out of the blacksmith's shop, nor has the fitting of her hydraulic steering appa ratus been commenced by the contractor. In consequence of the limited accommodation at the Upnor Castle powder magazines, Chatham, for storing shells, the Government has decided on en larging the present stores, at an expense of about £4,000, of which amount the sum of £2,000 has already been voted. The Volage, 26, has been fitted up as a temporary floating magazine at the port of Chatham, and is to be used exclusively for storing shells to be supplied to the ships fitting for sea at that station and Sheerness. The following appointments were made yester day at the Admiralty :—Lieut. Edward Denny, to the Nile; James Robertson, master, to the Styx; Sub-Lieut. A. L. Trevor, to the Edgar; John E. Corbett has been nominated to a naval cadetship ; the Rev. John J. Balleine, chaplain and naval in structor, to the Boscawen ; Dr. Henry Richardson, surgeon to the Boscawen ; and Thomas S.

On reappearing in sight Tippler was seen slightly in advance of Land's horse and Nelly; Harry, having quitted his rearward position, was fourth, Shropshire next, with King William acting as whipper-in. On reaching the hurdles in front of the stand, Diadem again resumed his lead, but on rounding the top turn W. White brought the favourite to the front, who in a few strides was in possession of a commanding lead, Tippler going on second, Diadem third, and Nelly next, Harry and King William bringing‘Up the rear. In this way they ran into the straight, where Diadem and Nelly having had enough, were passed by Harry and King William, who ran in the wake of the leader to the flight of hurdles at the distance, which'Harry cleared in advance of Tippler, but was never enabled to reach the favourite, Who won in a canter by six lengths, half a length between second and third; a bad fourth. -The Hunt Cup, value £5O, given by the dentlemen of the Hunts, for horses that have been regularly hunted with the Duke of Rutland's, Earl of Stamford's, or MajorWel fitt's hounds.

THE CAPTURE OF' FORT DONNELSON. - NEW YORK, FEE; 18 (113 R AMERICA, via 0 , 11 ab• QUEENSTOWN). The steamship Teutonia arrived at New York on Feb. 16, and the Edinburgh on the 18th. The British gunboat Racer sailed from New York for Bermuda on'Feb. 16. , The main feature of the news is the further suc cess of the Federal forces in the capture of Fort Donnelson, with a large number of prisoners and munitions of war, the details of which will be found below. The late continued successes of the Federal forces has caused the greatest enthusiasm through out the principal Northern cities, and the most san guine and hopeful, expectations of a speedy termi nation of the rebellion are entertained generally by the peop le.. • The preS s ' a li o appear universally con vinced that the rebellion has culminated. The effect-of the. news commercially is thus de scribed in the .New York Times of Feb. 18 : wild with, enthusiasm on the news ‘T thehfreomstreat w South-West of the capture of Fort Donnelson. The Stock ExChange was happy and buoyant, and the. Coin Exchange resounded with appplause on the announcement of the news. The f ee li n g is well nigh universal that the worst of our civil war is over, and that an early return of the Border States to their allegiance is inevitable. The Gulf States, it is believed, must follow at no distant the renewal ns with the, Upp er va ll ey o f t h e day, the first of them being L ou i s i ana w i th her of the intimate rela tsiuognas%iftiNteerewsto, a r t Mississippi and Ohio. - " The additional advances under , this news in the the railway shares, totitlte stocks of Missouri, ne l nt.n p oe e ns r se c teh e . n e t The Kentucky,a stock-market n3 to 4pa en rd a t r T e e last-named rose 6 per cent. on Saturday's sales, and lb per cent. on the rates current a week ago: , " The National Securities were g per cent. higher on 7 deli. 30c. per Cent. Treasury Bonds, and Five per Centi. - of '1 J 874, and steady on th e Si x p er Cents. of 1881. Another remarkable change in the market 'was a fall of 1 per cent. in gold, which, from 1048 to 1048 on .Saturda* afternoon, fell to 1038 to 1031- at the close of business to-day." In the Senate yesterd a y' ( 17 th inst.) various peti tions were presented, among them one asking that the full rank of Major-General should be conferred upon General Wood., .Mr. Latham reported his Bill authorising a survey, with a, view to construct a telegraph line across Behring's Straits. The joint resolution relative, to the payment of the Oregon ' and Washington war debt, settling the method of paying the awards, was passed. A despatch received from General M'Clellan, announcing the surrender of Fort Donnelson, was read, and caused the greatest excitement, the floors and galleries joining unchecked and indiscriminately in the applause. Mr. Johnson, of Tennessee, obtained leave to offer a joint resolution, thanking the army and navy for their heroie gallantry as exhibited in recent battles, which was i?assed, In the House the victory at Fort Donnelson first claimed attention, and the news created so much excitement that for a time it appeared impossible that any business could be done. - Two or three motions to adjourn were made, but they were not carried. The Committee of Ways and Means, in a pro tracted' session, this morning debated and voted upon the several amendments made by the Senate to the first two sections of the Legal Tender Bill. MM. Corning, Morrill, Horton, and Stratton voted throughout tq concur in all the changes of principle. MM. Stevens, Spaulding, Hooper, and Maynard ad hered to all' the distinctive features of the Bill as passed by the Honse, the vote thus standing 4 to 4. Those amendments of the Senate were not concurred in which make the issue of new notes 100,000,000 dols., instead of 150,000,000 dols„ which includes the 50,000,000 dols. autho rised' July 17, require the interest on the bonds and notes to be paid in coin, make the 20 year Bonds redeemable after five years, autho rise the conversion -of notes in sums not less than 100 dole. into 7 3-10 Bonds, make the funded 6 per Cents. redeemable after five years, and payable in 20 years instead of redeemable after 20 years, as the house directed, and authorise. the throwing of the Bonda on the markei for what they will fetch. A special despatch to the New York Times, dated Fort Donnelson, Feb. 16, gives the following ac count of the capture of that 'place .by the Federals : "Fort Donnelson surrendered at daylight this morning (16th) unconditionally. We have Generals Buckner, Johnston,' Bushrnd, and 15,000 prisoners and 3,000 horses. Generals Pillow and Floyd, with their brigades, ran away on steamers without letting Buckner know of their intention. General Smith led the charge on the lower 'end of the works, and was the first inside the fortifications. " the prisoners are loading on the steamers for Cairo. " The Federal loss is heavy, probably 400 killed and 800 wounded. There is a large percentage of officers. " The enemy's loss is heavy, but not so large as ours, as they fought behind intrenchments. " The fort would have been taken by storming on Saturday had not the ammunition of the Fede rals, given out in the night. " The enemy turned the -Federal right for half an hour, but this ground thus lost was afterwards more than regained. Gen. Lanham's Brigade of General Smith's Division was the first in the lower end of the enemy's works, which were taken by a charge of the bayonet. " As nine-tenths of the rebels were pitted against our right, our forces on the , •right were ready all night to recommence• the attack:: On; Sunday morn ing they were met' on their approach by a white flag, Gen. Buckner havingliefit early in the morn ing a despatch to Gen. Grant, surrendering. The rebels lose 48 field-pieces, 17 heavy guns, 20,000 stand of arms, besides a large quantity of Commissary stores. " The Federal troops, from the moment of the investment of the fort on Wednesday, lay on their arms night and day, half the time without provi— sions, all the time without tents, and a portion 'in a heavy storm of rain and snow." Another special despatch from Fort Donnelson, dated Chicago, February 17, says : " The forces were 'about equal in numbers, but the rebels had all the advantage of position, being well fortified on two immense hills, with their fort near the river on a lower piece of ground. From the foot of their intrenchments rifle pits and abattis extended up the river behind the town of Dover. Their fortifications on the land side back from the river were at least four miles in length. Their water battery in the centre of the fortifications, where it came down to the river, mounted nine heavy guns. "The rebels were sure of success. In any other cause end against less brave troops they could easily have held the position against 100,000 men. " The business of getting the different brigades in position for attaching the new arrivals to the different divisions took up the greater portion of Friday night. At daylight on Sunday the enemy opened on the 18th Illinois, when Colonel Colesby's brigade was soon engaged, and was soon followed by Wallace's and M'Arthur's brigades, the latter acting under General M'Clernand, as the position of the troops had been c hanged during the night, and General Grant had been called away to the gunboats. "The movements of the troops, except those at tached to M'Clernand's division; were made with -Out anythitig except general orders. „A ta suggestion from, Gerieral I\i'Clernand, " Sir,—Yours of this date, proposing an armistice and the appointment of Commissioners for settling terms of capitulation, is just received. No terms except unconditional and immediate surrender can be accepted. " I propose to move immediately on your works. " I am, very respectfully, your obedient servt., " U. S. GRANT, Brigadier-General Commanding. " To General S. B. Buckner." (Per America, by Telegraph from New York to Halifax.) NEW YORK, FEB. 21. Lord Palmerstoa's statement that England would remain neutral has caused a favourable effect poli tically. The New York Times states it is rumoured that Mr. Carl Schuz will go as Minister to Russia, in stead of Mr. Cameron. Mr. Wilmot will go to Spain, instead of Mr. Schuz. It is rumoured 'through Southern sources that the Confederate General Johnstone had offered to evacuate Nashville providing that private property were respected. • No answer has yet been given to this offer. From Missouri it is reported that the Federals had attacked Price and another . General in Arkan sas, and that after a short engagement Gen. Prise had fled, leaving behind a quantity of baggage. The .New York Times reviews the Queen's pro clamation closing the British ports to Federal ves sels, and compares this course with the shelter and cordial treatment afforded to British vessels in Federal ports, and with Mr. Seward's permission for British troops to pass through Maine. It argues that the masses of the English people are friendly to America, but that the British Ministry is at open war with the United States. The New York press generally is indignant at the proposed monarchy in Mexico. The New York World considers it an insult to the Federal Govern ment, which at any other time would be resisted with the whole power of the American nation. It thinks that a Monarchy in . Mexico can only be sup ported by European bayonets. " In the meantime," it continues, " the Southern rebellion is about to be crushed, and as soon as this is accomplished nothing would be so likely .to cement- the alienated North and South as the union of :their arms in common effort to maintain the Monroe doctrine, any infringement of which would formerly have been resented by North and South, but with more warm and vigour by the South than by the North." According to an Associated Press despatch from Washington, the Secretary of State sees in the late European advices a satisfactory reaction in Eng land and the Continent in favour of the United States. Special satisfaction is felt at the congratu lations from Rasssia anditaly on the settlement of the Trent affair, " which is regarded (as the bow of promise of peace and freedom of commerce." The American Geographical Society have asked the intercession of Congress in reference to a ship canal connecting the River St. Lawrence and , the Great Lakes on the Northern boundary with the Atlantic Ocean in New York Bay in any future ad justment of commercial relations between America and England. The Nov York Tribune considers that, deeply as it is to be deplored, it will be the slow work of years to place England and America on the same footing as 16 months ago : " If civil war were ended to-morrow the respect America would regain in English political circles would neither be due to blood relationship nor com mon commercial interests, but to the victorious naval and military force now asserting the power of the Federal Government. In mutual relation ships England and America have travelled back many years." The Tribune fears that neither friendly protocols nor joint telegraph expeditions can make it other wise, and thinks that the progress of the European invasion of Mexico, and the newly-developed policy of its promoters, add new incentives to vigorous prosecution against rebellion. The New f ork Times says that since the Donnol son victory the popular cry is for the old Union, no confiscation, no vengeance, but the banishment of the rebel leaders, and a general amnesty for all who will return to the old flag. " America should present to Europe, not a i " Sir,—l cannot suffer undue merit to be ascribed to my official action. The glory of our recent victo ries belongs to the gallaxit officers and soldiers that fought the battles. No share of it belongs to me. Much has recently been said of military combinations and organising victory. I hear such phrases with apprehension. They com menced in infidel France with the Italian cam paign and resulted in Waterloo. Who can organise victory ? Who can combine the elements of success on the battle field ? We owe our , recent victories to the spirit of the Lord that moved our soldiers to rush into the battle field, and filled the hearts of our enemies with terror and dismay. The inspiration that conquered in battle was in the hearts of the soldiers, and from on high; and wher ever there is the same inspiration there will be the same results. A patriotic spirit, with resolute cou rage in officers and,mep, is a combination that never failed. We may well rejoice at the recent victories, for they teach us that battles are to be won now, and by us, in the same and only manner that they were ever won by any people or in any age since the days of Joshua, by boldly pursuing and striking the foe. • -What, under the blessing of Providence, I conceive to be the true organisation of victory and military combination to end this war was declared in a few words by Gen. Grant's message to Gen. Buckner—' I propose to move immediately on your works.'—Yours truly, " EDWIN M. STANTON" The Kangaroo arrived out on Feb.l9. The Asia and Bohemian have also arrived out. The British steamer Medea has arrived at New York. D.RAMA7IO, EQUESTRIAN, AND 111 USICAL ASSOCIATION. The anniversary festival of this association was held last evening at Willis's Rooms. At the first blush it might appear strange that an occasion to the rest of the world bearing somewhat of a solemn and penitential character should be selected, but a I moment's reflection wil l show that ordinary rules at t ra is v r e g st e o is f e m al a l k in in g g s, they holiday,are dt t o ric b a el set p r o against . th l e n a t c h eu is . o and dn it t t iawsrpel when eel f nym ae mbt a l i e ntn n hgk t e i i t tnth l entitl e d t sations charged upon the votaries of the t age, that of their limited vacation they one night to the sacred cause of charity. Had the celebration taken place one evening earlier, it would have fallen on the concluding night of the Carnival, with the mysterious rites of which the Germans, [under the name of .pschings, associate the origin of their dramatic literature. Be the merits of the question what they may, one fact is beyond dispute, that the members of the profession mustered strongly in support of an association which seeks to provide a sick fund for the relief of dramatic, equestrian, and musical performers. Conventional usage being laid aside, ladies were in vited to join in the proceedings, and Mrs. Stirling and Miss Amy Sedgwiek occupied seats to the right and left of the chairman, Sir Charles Taylor. The following members of the corps Present dramatique were likewise among th o se —Miss Fanny Stirling, Miss Rosins Wright , Miss Charlotte Saunders, MiSEI Sarah Booth, Miss Clara Fisher, Mr. B. Webster, M r . P . Bed ford and Mrs. Bedford, Mr. and Mrs. Toole, Mr. and Mrs. Swanborough, Miss Bufton, &c. An excellent dinner wcs provided, at the conclusion of which, grace having been said and the usual loyal toasts given, the chairman, in proposing the toast of the evening, said that of all the charities to be found in this wonderful city of London there was none in which the money was applied more directly to the object in view than that which h e h a d the h ono ur to advocate. It was especially deserving of support, because those who were relieved, instead of becoming completely broken up, were often en abled by its means to work on prosperously to the end of their days. Daring the five years over which the accounts extended, it had relieved 2,575 days of sickness, it had met 155 cases of distress, and had paid for 256 journeys to places where employment had been provided for necessitous applicants. Its beneficial operation extended to all, whether it were the gentleman beth, the humbler performer who went on with a banner at is. a night, or the carpenter who sus- THE NAVY. Admiralty orders have been received at Chatham Dockyard which direct a report to be made by the officials of • that establishment of the num ber and description of any models of modern ships which can be forwarded to the Great International Exhibition. The iron armour plates for the Royal Oak, 51, are to undergo the process of annealing at Chatham, on their delivery by the contractors. In the construc tion of the upper deck of the vessel arrangements are to be made for the distribution of the 110 poun der Armstrong guns, which in this class of ship will be placed on rear chock carriages, without directing bars. . THE ARM Y. A large and commodious riding school for the in struction of the officers and troops attached to the cavalry depot has just been completed at the back of the barracks at Maidstone, by Mr. Naylar, the Government contractor. The building is very large, and is constructed on the most approved principles. The necessary buildings and offices are attached for the use of the officers and men under instruction. A number of the non - commissioned offices and men of the Royal Engineers who left England some years since, for the purpose of making a complete survey of the British territories in Western North America, have returned to England. They arrived at head quarters, Chatham, a few days since. The chief duties in which the detachment of Royal En gineers were engaged were in tracing the boundary of the Oregon territory, and in laying down the boundary line between Frazer River and the ex treme termination of British territory in Central North America.
