CLITIL WAR IN AMERICA. LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY. The Royal Mail steamship Arabia, Capt. Stone, from Boston on the 9th, and Halifax on the 11th inst , via Queenstown yesterday, has arrived. A telegraphic summary of her news has already been received. The New York Post is informed that Gen. Scott had been in Washington several days, and had a room at the War Department. It is rumoured in Washington that the general is to become Secre tary of War, with General Banks as assistant secretary. The latest fighting before Richmond of which the papers contain any account, appears to have taken place on the 3d inst., and the following ac count of it, and of the proceedings of the army of the Potomac on the 4th of July, is from the corre spondence of the World, dated on the last-men tioned day : " The enemy on Thursday morning, at about 9 o'clock, commenced an attack with cavalry, artillery, and infantry, on the rear of the army, and it was feared that another heavy engagement was about to take place. The whole army was immediately drawn up in line of battle. By a reconnoissance, however, it was discovered that the attacking force -was not very considerable, and General Davidson, with his brigade, was ordered to attempt to cut them off and capture or disperse them. He suc ceeded in taking a number of prisoners and six guns. The rest sought safety by skedaddling, and were pursued by our troops four or five miles with much loss. The first firing was into the woods in front of the lines of the army, as the rebels evidently sup posed that we were occupying the woods in force. " The Monitor, Galena, Nangatuck, and the re sidue of the gunboats, threw a large quantity of shot and shell over our army into the woods and beyond them, making any position in the vicinity very unpleasant to rebel occupants. The enemy, however, continued casual firing until four p.m., w hen the bold dash of General Davidson, and the general ineligibility of the place, caused them to retreat. " The anniversary of the nation's independence was celebrated by the army appropriately. The following exercises were ordered for the day by General M'Clellan :—A national salute at noon at the head-quarters of each army corps ; immediately thereafter bands to play appropriate national airs. The general commanding will visit the troops dur ing the afternoon, when the troops will be paraded, and a major-general's salute fired in each corps. Hereafter the usual calls may be sounded, and the bands permitted to play. " General M'Clellan reviewed the troops in the afternoon, as announced, and was received with the utmost enthusiasm along the lines. The soldiers have the most unlimited confidence in the general's military capacity. They express no apprehensions for the future under his command. They do not consider their retreat a defeat, but believe that it is a part of M'Clellan's plan. They do not believe that their leader has made a movement that was not justified by sound military policy. They think that the capture of Richmond will come in good time, in accordance with M'Clellan's plans, and are anxious to boded whenever he gives the word to do their part towards that result, so the troops, of course, cheered their young commander as he rode along the lines. As he passed on he made a few remarks to them, thanking them for their gallant conduct, encouraging them for the future, and tell ing them their labours were not yet over. The ad vance of six miles, as I stated, has changed the front of the army towards Richmond. General Sumner's corps, which previously lay on the banks of the river, has been advanced two miles. The divisions of General Franklin, Keyes, and Heint zelman have been moved back on the road and face outward. There is considerable difference of opi nion as to the capture of Richmond from this posi tion. It would look to be a tedious operation, re quiring great force, but with the help of the gun boats might not be so difficult as it seems. There are many that think that a general ad vance towards Richmond is not improbable at no distant day. Richmond papers claim a victory in the eight days' fight on the peninsula, although they acknowledge a loss of 30,000 men. The death of Stonewall Jackson is positively de nied, and he is said to be now in command on the left bank of the Chickahominy." A letter in the Boston .Tournal of the 9th gives the following as the state of affairs-with M'Clellan's army, as furnished by gentlemen who left it on the sth inst.:— " General M'Clellan has secured his army from further assaults. He is safe, but there can be no immediate advance upon Richmond. He is con fronted by an immense army, while his own is weakened. He must be reinforced. His men are not disheartened, but, on the contrary, are sharp ened for the final fight. They have no thought of giving up. They want to be put on an even footing with the enemy for a seeond fight. They defeated the rebels in every battle on the south side of the Chickahominy. How long General M'Clellan had premeditated a change of his base I do not know, but when he found that the rebels had been largely reinforced, and intended to attack him, wisdom de manded activity on his part in carrying out his plan. The falling back from Mechanicsville on Friday encouraged the rebels. The crossing to the south side of the Chickahominy raised their expec tations to the highest pitch. It is plain that the rebel commanders were out-generalled. They did not find out General M'Clellan's plan till too late to prevent its execution. They thought they had his supplies when they rushed pell-mell towards the White House, but they found an empty nest instead of a bird with golden plumage. Had they known his plan, they could have precipi tated the 50,000 troops which afterwards came down upon Heintzelman along the Charles City road, south of White Oak swamp, and M'Clellan would have been annihilated. His escape was another of those narrow margins which have marked this war, an evidence to all thought ful reverential minds that He who holdeth the sea in the hollow of ni • • s tend has this cause in his keep ing. He has left the Chickahominy swamp and is u pon James River. His camps are upon high land. He has water in abundance. His men can bathe daily. He has water co mmunication. The enemy cannot attack him except in front. A Baltimore c aptain informs me that the • situation is very un healthy. C it y Point is said to be one of the worst 11 places in the w orld for fevers. Ima a not say how large an army G en. ArClellan has u nder his com mand, but if he coul d be adequately reinforced there Without n aig. need be no delay in the camp rein forcements he must wait. e arnest. They mean i n " The rebels are madly to win. Human life is to them so much capital stock to be sunk if need be to ensure succ fought success. They through the six days with desperation. M'Clellan's batteries cut great gashes in their ranks ; but mad dened by whisky, heedless of life, they rushed on heedless of their fallen comrades and of the sure . death awaiting them. The slaughter on both sides was fearful. Not less than 30,000 men were put hors de combat. I have the authorit y of a general for saying that that is an under estimate." The war correspondent of the New York Times places the Federal losses before Richmond at about 25,000. The New 1 ork, Tribune gives General Andrew Potter's name as the authority for the statement that the rebels have lost 75,000 men in the recent battles. The .11ew York Herald having stated that the plans of the commander of the Potomac army have been thwarted by the interference of the War De partment, the Washington correspondent of the New York Evening Post says that this statement is pronounced entirely false by the highest authority. The New . 6)k rrl 5. 5 5 imune s letter of the sth sap — Yesterday our rivr pickets advanced from four to f iv e miles from th e no enemy, who see m to have mysteriouslyand sa retired. w General M'Clel- Jan has advanced his lines down to the Chicka hominy', and no fears are now entertained of a gank mov ement in that di rection. By noon to-day Geal neleli ah expe c t e d to have hisposition ner so fortified as to be able to bid, defiance to the ene my in any s ha p e they might cho ose to come." The Herald of the, 6th says : 7 - ver a s ome of the gun boats have gone op tie ri to-day, and others will soon follow. A certain general who was looked for to-day has not yet ear rived, but we have hope of seeing him before going down of the sun. This great point (,f interest is becoming more and more important. A few days longer and Richmond will be ours." An army letter to the herald states that the rebel prisoners say— " Long before the evacuation of Corinth the troops from Beauregard's army began to arrive at Richmond, and continued to arrive steadily until that event took place, by which time 50,000 ar rived, and subsequent to the evacution 25,000 more arrived from Corinth ; and these 75,000 men are the flower of Beauregard's army ; they are the best troops of the old army of Manassas, and have not, as a general thing, been engaged in the late battle, but are held in reserve ; that the whole number of troops at Richmond amounts to fully 200,000, and that General Lee has chief command, and that Generals Beauregard, Johnston (he was wounded), and Jackson were commanders of corps d'arinee under him. In regard to the report of Jackson's death, they speak of it in such a manner as leads me to think it a mere ruse." _ _ A telegram of the 17th from Fortress Monroe, says : " An officer in charge at Savage's Station during the last battle states that all the silk and wounded were removed before the rebels reached there. " Another small rebel gunboat beside the Teaser, ventured down James River on the 3d, and was sunk by our gunboats. General M'Clellan has ad vanced about seven miles up the river, but no fight ing has been heard of for the last two days. Ten transport steamers are here to-day. The Elm City and the Knickerbocker have each over 500 sick and wounded on board. The Knickerbocker goes to Washington and the Elm City to New York. No person is allowed on board the Elm City to obtain information. Five deaths have occurred on board since leaving Harrison Landing. " Three regiments of cavalry left for up river this morning. A flag of truce has returned from White House. All was quiet there and no rebels seen. She brought some 50 contrabands and a few strag glers. " Gen. Burnside's flag boat arrived here this after noon. " A flag of truce returned to-day from a cruise up York River. At Cumberland they found 90 of our wounded, whom they brought a mile away, but the rebels compelled them to the hospital. All was quiet to-day on James River." A Cairo despatch of the Bth says : " The Steamer Sunshine, from Vicksburg on the 3d, has arrived. The bombardment was continued. The town deserted, except by the military. " The news from White River is not encouraging Col. Fitch still held St. Charles. No relief had yet reached General Curtis. The whole country bor dering on White River is reported in arms, except those flying from the conscription, which is en forced in the most vigorous manner. Boats are fre quently fired on from the shore." The Grenada Appeal of the 3d says that large numbers of Confederate troops have gone from Jupels to Water Valley, forty miles south of Holly Springs. Breckenridge's division has gone to Vicks burg. A large number of Mississippi troops have gone to Richmond. Nearly all the Government stores have been taken to a place occupied by 2000 or 3000 rebels. They have burned all the tressle works of the bridges between Memphis and Cold Water. General Hindman has issued an appeal to the people of Arkansas, and says that he intends to annoy the enemy in every possible way, and asks the people to do their part. The Little Rock Gazette of the 28th says that the Federals have evacuated Indian Bay, and St. Charles, and the whole lower White River, and have gone in the direction of Memphis. General Curtis left Batesville and crossed Black River, and is supposed to be marching towards Cachebridge, with a view to reach the Mississippi River via Crowley's Ridge. The Philadelphia Press has a despatch from Newbern, dated July 2, stating that General Burn side's entire army is in motion against Richmond. Richmond papers of July 4 have been received. They contain full details of the late battles. They claim a victory as the general result, but admit a severe defeat on Tuesday. The Examiner says 15,000 will not cover their losses in killed and wounded during the week; The impression of military men on the peninsula is that 30,000 is more likely the number. Complaint is made of the inhuman treatment of Confederate soldiers by the Federals on the penin sula. Several Georgians, it is said, were hung, and many bodies mutilated, but this is affirmed at Washington to be untrue. Captain Wilkes, who played so prominent a part in the Trent affair, is appointed to the command o f the James River flotilla, and Acting Master Fred. D. Stuart was expected to be his chief execu tive officer. The Washington Star says:— " On Friday last a division of General M'Do well's corps took up their line of march for Warrenton, which point they now hold. We pre sume this movement is preparatory to a prompt and proper concentration of General Pope's army." The return of Mr. Seward to Washington is thus referred to by the correspondent of the New York Post Mr. Seward has returned and reports that the people will sustain the Government heartily in this great crisis. He discovered on his trip that the Government committed one blunder, that of trying to conceal the disaster from the people. It is now perceived that this policy has had a bad effect upon enlistments. The people, especially in New Eng land, resent this attempt to conceal the disaster from them, and have really supposed the army of the Potomac to be in a worse condition than the facts would warrant. Mr. Seward comes back prepared for a fresh onset of the European interventionists. It is fully expected that the sympathisers with the rebellion will make a great deal of noise, but the best judges of our foreign affairs do not believe that France or England will actually interfere in the present condition of our affairs. Actual interven tion, it is believed even by foreign ministers here, will not come for six months yet. By that time all the peninsula disasters can be fully retrieved and Richmond taken." It was rumoured that Commodore Foote would soon be placed at the head of a new naval expe dition, which was being got ready. Great efforts were being made by public meet ings, patriotic addresses, &c., to promote volun teering. The common council of Buffalo had ap propriated 80,000 dole. to raise a new regiment there, giving 75 dols. bounty to each recruit, in ad dition to the Government bounty. Nassau advices of June 28 say the steamer Oviet o was un d er s eizure by the British war st eamer Greyhound, with a prize crew aboard. 111 the Senate, on the 7th, the Tariff Bill was re ported b ack from the finance committee, with amendments A motion to take up the bill for the admission Rouse Western Virginia was thrown out.

The following is General IVlTlellan's address to his army : " Head-quarters Army of the Potomac, Camp, near Harrison's Landing, July 4. gg soldiers of the Army of the Potomac, —You r achievements of the last ten days have illustrated the valour and endurance of the American soldier. Attacked by superior forces, and without hope of reinforcements, you have succeeded in changing your base of operations by a flank movement, always regarded as the most hazardous of military expedients. You have saved all your material, all your trains, and all your guns, except a few lost in battle, taking in return guns and colours from the enemy. Upon your march you have been assailed day after day with desperate fury by men of the same race and nation skilfully massed and led. Under every disadvantage of numbers, and neces sarily of position also, you have in every conflict beaten back your foes with enormous slaugh ter. Your conduct ranks you among the celebrated armies of history, No one will now qt say,iuoen have t io rlne n da cht unimpaired belongdat the ht e oe ach of y nthe ew ina basersr o o p y u i r i m eo t of. may the a p T lcomplete tepe always oetnionem w ma i oye t r h . aanyy pride so aau; any time attack you. We are prepared to meet them. I have personally inspected your lines. Let them come, and we will convert their repulse into a final defeat. Your Government is strengthening you with the resources of a great people. On this, our nation's birthday, we declare to our foes, who are rebels against the best interests of mankind,that this army shall enter the capital of the so-called Con federacy ; that our national Constitution shall pre- , vail ; and that the Union, which can alone ensure internal peace and external security to each State, ' must and shall be preserved,' cost what it may in time, treasure, and blood. (Signed) " GEL B. M'CLELLAN." Mr. Thurloe Weed has addressed a letter to the municipality of New York, giving his impressions of the relations between America and foreign coun- tries, gathered during his late visit to Europe, from which the following are extracts. He says— " Secession, while undermining for ultimate rebel lion, was thoughtful of the importance of the favour of Europe. The South, with its long-cherished pur pose, worked as diligently abroad as at home. The North, unconscious of the great crime meditated, slept. Active emissaries of secession, aided too often by sympathising ministers and consuls, settled the public mind on the other side of the Atlantic against us. Public opinion was formed against the Union before our aide of the question was presented or heard. By turning truth end for end, and reading history backwards, we were held by Europeans as the aggressors, The last three months of Mr. Buchanan's administration were almost as injurious abroad as at home. For there, as here, loyal men only occupied the places of a disloyal cabinet, and forcing minis ters too late to nip the rebellion in the bud. " Unfortunately there were causes as well as pre text for the lack of sympathy which we encountered in Europe. The governments of the old world remem ber that from the nature of our institutions our own sympathies have generally run with those who struggled to overthrow monarchies, and that we have shown alacrity in recognising the independence of such as struggled successfully. With the nations most intimately connected with us the Morill tariff was regarded with great disfavour. In England it was believed that we not only cherished unfriendly feelings to wards that country, but we desired a disruption of friendly relations. The emissaries of rebellion seized upon those causes and pretexts to turn the current of feeling in their favour. It was, too, plausibly urged, that the difference in climate, soil, habits, and ' want of congeniality' betweeu bhtt Nua th and gouth, constituted such radical discordance that our Union had become an impossibility. Indeed, those fallacies were so successfully pressed, that Mr. Gladstone, in a recent speech at Manchester, stated that the Union was but a co-partnership dissolvable when ever passion or caprice prompted in any of the par ties a desire to withdraw. That eminent statesman —if for a moment we adopt this theory—overlooked or ignored the circumstance that our secession co partners, in retiring broke open the safe, and stole valuable securities, the common property of the firm—or in ether words, that in separating, they seized the fortifications, the arms, the custom houses, the post-offices, and the public monies—acts of treason in a public, or of robbery in a private sense, which would, perpetrated in England, have consigned them to the Tower or the Penitentiary. " While England,France, Belgium, and Germany begin to experience serious inconvenience and em barrassment from their short supply of cotton, I do not apprehend, immediately, that those Govern ments will intervene, though with the two former the subject has been considered. It is proper to say that France is even more impatient than England — not, however, from unfriendliness, but because the Emperor assumes, in the absence of employment, to supply his people with food. " But we have nothing to fear from Europe if we are successful in the prosecution of the war. Fort Donnelson, Nashville, Winchester, Now Orleans, and Memphis, are our strongest arguments against intervention with Governments that determine all questions by military measurement. "There are, however, but too well founded reasons for apprehending future embroilment with England. Nor can I doubt the propriety of dweliing briefly, but earnestly, upon a danger fraught with conse quences so vital to the welfare of both nations. The Trent affair, though happily become rightfully settled, has left an arrow with poisoned barb fes tering in our flesh and irritating our nerves. The impression that England, willing to take us at dis advantage, availed herself of the erring judgment or impulsive zeal of a naval commander to wage war upon us, has obtained throughout the country That England expected war, and intended war, making with unparalleled alacrity and in gigantic proportions, preparations for war, is admitted to be true. But with opportunities favourable to a correct understanding of the views of the English govern ment, and of the feelings that swayed the English mind, I am bound in truth and fairness to say that that government and people sincerely believed that we desired a rupture with them ; that we sought occasions to taunt and to snub them ; and, egregiously unfounded as the supposition was, that the present Secretary of State was the representa tive of this hostile sentiment. In justification of these impressions it was said that by "bullying" we obtained advantages in the settlement of the North-eastern and Vancouver boundary questions; that we abruptly dismissed their minister (Mr. Crampton) and their consul (Mr. Barclay) ; that our sympathies in their war with Russia were with their enemy ; that we had often threatened to wrest Canada from them ; and finally, that Secre tary Seward ho d avowed hostile intentions towards England. " Some of these grounds of complaint were, as we knew, well taken, and all were believed to be so. " We all felt that the recognition of the Southern Confederacy as a belligerent by England and France was an over-hasty and ungracious act. But in sub mitting the proposition to the Ffencia Emperor the English Crown lawyers enforced it by arguments which from that stand-point were forcible. Both governments supposed that the insurgent states had or c ou ld li t out vessels of war, and wished to reliev e themselves of the responsibility of treating such 'vessels as pirates. In this they erred , fo r tured to sea. without the i m punity thus extended to them not Nas hville or Sumter would ever have yen - " But, notwithstandi n g these adverse influences, an d the existen ce in cer tain slice high quarters of views a n ot friendly to the went, the Union has many ardent, well-wishing of our form of govern friends in England, and can illt ye many more if we act justly ourselves and labour to correct grossly erroneous impressions. The paths of peace are the only paths of pleasantness for England and America. In view of the dangers, which I do not exaggerate —dangers growing out of the mutual misapprehen sion of each other's real sentiments—it behoves the Government, the press, and the people of both countries, by enlightened counsels, large tolerations, and wise forbearance, to soothe rather than stimu late existing irritations. Nor in forming our esti mate of the degree and value of English sympathy during our domestic troubles, is the fact that her Queen and House of Commons modified harsh de spatches, and resisted unfriendly legislation, with out significance." NEW YORK, JULY 10. Per Arabia, by Telegraph to Halifax and via Queenstown.) The press continue unanimous in their cry for superseding Secretary Stanton, and continue to urge the people to arms. Recruiting is, however, not very rapid, and a general public impression prevails that resort will be had to drafting. The city of New York is to raise four more regiments. A bill has been introduced into Congress em powering the President to fix the time of service for militia when called out, and to organise them like the volunteer forces. An amendment was also offered that there shall be no exemption from mili tary duty under the militia laws of the United States on account of colour or lineage, but that whenever the militia shill be called into service all able-bodied persons shall be called to the defence of the country. The President shall have full power to organise the militia into battalions, brigades, and divisions, according to their nationality, race, or colour, as he may best deem for the public interest. The New York .Herald, discussing foreign inter vention, says that if America is forcibly broken up by foreign interference, the loss of American bonds, amounting to six or eight million dollars, due to English capitalists, is inevitable. If the republic is divided it is no longer the United States, and the question is which half of it will be responsible to foreign countries for the common debt. General Burnside has arrived at Forth Monroe. His army has joined General WC:ellan at Harri- son's Landing. A Federal transport, conveying supplies up the James River, was fired into by the Confederate bat teries below Harrison's Landing, on the opposite side of the river. She was obliged to run ashore to escape being sunk. On the same side of the river the Confederates have constructed batteries between Harrison's Landing and the Chickahominy River. The batteries are not of a heavy character. Confederate stock in Richmond rose from 93 to 97 as the result of the late battles. The _Richmond Examiner says that Mr. Slidell had written lately that he expected the immediate recognition of the Southern Confederacy by France. A call has been made in New York for a public meeting in support of President Lincoln and the Cabinet. It is directed to all who favour vigorous prosecution of the war to put down the rebellion quickly, and is opposed to those who gave aid in directly to traitors when they could not attempt to give aid directly, by abuse of the administration and its progressive measures. President Lincoln has gone to visit the Potomac army in its new position on James River_ He had an interview with General Burnside at Fortress Monroe. Mr. Lincoln's visit is said to be caused by important official despatches received in Wash ington from M'Clellan's command. The nature of the despatches has not transpired. The Federal Congress is expected to adjourn before the end of the week for want of a quorum. Since the late battles the _Richmond _Examiner urges the filling up of the Southern armies, and pre paring for the contest as long as the Federals may choose to urge it, and to let the preparations be as energetic as possible. The Senate has passed the Naval Appropriation Bill, giving authority to purchase property, to con struct a new navy yard at Philadelphia, and for the extension of Charlestown, Massachusetts, Navy Yard. The Senate has also passed a bill to establish a new grade of admirals and commodores in the Federal navy ; also a bill authorising the Presi dent to make arrangements with foreign Govern ments, especially with Denmark, for the colonisa tion of captured negroes. A bill has been intro duced into the Senate to declare another punish mpleonyt n fo e r gr t o h eb e i c n ri m m i e lit o a f ry tz s e e a r s v o i n ce ; , also and d a co bLll ritnogefmor ever free the mothers, wives, and children, of such negroes. The New York World attributes the return to Europe of the French Princes to the fact that they would object to fight against Frenchmen, and thinks that the unexpected aspect that the Federal mili tary affairs have assumed render an early recogni tion of the Southern Confederacy by France and England next to certain. An important proclamation is shortly expected to be issued by President Lincoln, defining the fu ture policy of the administration in the present crisis. An important debate occurred in Congress on the question of employing negroes in military service. Several senators opposed the bill. Mr. SHERMAN said the time had arrived when Federal military officers should be compelled to take into service all loyal men to suppress the rebellion. He favoured giving power to the Pre sident to call into service all the slaves of the rebels. Mr. Sherman', said he would organise an army of negroes and desolate every Southern state rather than that the Union should be destroyed. He contended that the Federals could not war against savages unless they became in part savages themselves. Mr. Fessenden, of Maine, was in favour of the bill. He admitted that there was not at present in his own State the same readiness to enlist as for merly, and thought that the reason of this was that the people felt the war must be conducted on diffe rent principles than hitherto. The people dreaded being employed in swampy, unhealthy places, and to erecting entrenchments when such work could not be done by negroes. Unless negroes were em ployed for this men would hesitate to come forward and expose themselves to that kind of life. He strenuously urged the employment of negroes in war asperfectly legitimate and advantageous. He thought the Government made a great error in de ceiving people by calling a defeat a great strategic movement, and giving false names to things under the impression that it would not do to let the people know the truth. Tell people the truth, and resort to no artifice. People were intelligent; let them know what was required, and they would respond. Mr. Rice said the time had come when the Fede rais must acknowledge the Southern Confederacy, or speedily put down the rebellion, therefore he would not hesitate to use all means. Mr. Wilson, for Massachusetts, was for fighting the battle to a successful issue, and for drafting if necessary, but said that a rose-and-water war must cease, 'sad that it was better to tell people the truth and not to dec e i ve th em . It would seem as if an or ganised system o f lyi ng had been established. He thought the censorship of the press had been a great disadvantage. Mr. Davis, of Kentucky, was in favoue of slaves working in benches, but strongly opposed arming the slaves, and said, " The border States would re sist to the death the plan to arm the slaves." Mr. Rice, referring to the remark of Mr. Davis, said that strangers would think Mr. Davis was an emissary defending the rebel government. The debate then terminated. The New York Evening Post, speaking of the l ate battles tctore Richmond, says : "There is good reason to believe that, notwith standing the valour shown by our troops in that terrible series of conflicts, and the extent to which they dealt death among the enemy till be was finally beaten back, the list of our losses when at last made up will be far greater than has generally been supposed. "'There is almost equal reason to bel ieve that for the sake of strengthening the army which sat dowse before itielitnond the city of Washington was stripped of the troops which a wise forecast deemed necessary to its safety. The sad truth i n regard to our losses is coming out by degrees. The gton truth in regard to the situation of Washio is of such a nature that the facts from which it is inferred cannot be placed before the public. Both together —a decimated army and a menaced capital—instead of causing our hearts to faint within us, should inspire us with a sterner and loftier resolution, and beget a determination to re-1 trieve the ground we have lost. " The spirit of a generous people ever rises with the calls of the occasion. Our previous victories, the conquest of the coast, the capture of the enemy's seaports, the rebels driven from two of the Border states, and swept out of the great Missis sippi from its sources to its mouth—show what it is in our power to do and what, by a wise use of strength, we may do in future." The Courier des Etats Enis says, " The 55th Regiment, known as the Gardes Lafayette, has been so decimated before Richmond, that scarcely 50 men are fit for service." A large public meeting is to be held in New York next week, to pass national resolutions. The New York Chamber of Commerce will pre pare an address to the American people. 7HE NAVY. The new line-of-battle ship the Zealous, 90 guns, now well advanced in construction at Pembroke dockyard, will, it is expected, be soon converted in an armour-plated mad-of-war, upon Mr. E. S. Reed's plan. There are several smaller men-of war in frame at the same dockyard which will ulti- mately, it is anticipated, be armour-plated. The screw steam-frigate Severn, 51, recently arrived from Sheerness, at Devonport, and now in the first division of the steam reserve there, is ordered to be stored and put in commission with a complement of 510 officers and men. She will pro- bably go the West Indies. The Severn, 51, 2,767 tons, 500 horse-power, is to be fitted for immediate service at sea. She is to have a complement of 500 officers and men, inclu ding Royal Marines and Marine Artillery. The Sultan, target-ship, at Portsmouth, has been brought down from the practice moorings, and berthed alongside the dockyard, to receive a fresh supply of armour-plates for future experiments. In the recent trials of plates on the sides of the Sultan, those supplied from the Parkhead forge, near Glasgow, have given such satisfactory results that the manufacturers have received an order from the Admiralty for the supply of nearly 200 tons for the Royal Alfred, 32, iron-eased frigate, building at Portsmouth. Great surprise was manifested at Portsmouth on finding, by the answer given by Sir G. C. Lewis to Mr. Laird in the House of Commons on Tuesday, that it is the intention of the Government to re- move the Monster Horsfall gun from its present position at high water mark under Eastney Fort, near Portsmouth, round to Shoeburyness, for the purpose of testing its powers against iron plates. The cost of this removal has not, perhaps, been fully considered. The gun now lies in a position to which it was removed, at a great expense, from Southsea Castle expressly for experimental firing. Owing, however, to some as yet unexplained cause, the experiment has not yet been carried out. Within the last few weeks it has been determined to test the gun's powers against an iron-plated target, and Col. Warde, C. 8., commanding the Royal Artilley at Portsmouth, and Capt. R. S. Hewlett, C. 8., commanding her Majesty's ship Excellent at Portsmouth, were directed to place themselves in communication with each other to carry out this object at or near Portsmouth. The result was that the Griper, which carried Mr. Jones's angulated target, when tested with the Armstrong 100-pounder and the 68-pounder smooth-bore, was recommended to the authorities to be fitted with a target and lowed out seaward opposite the point of beach where the gun now lies. The Griper is lying alongside Portsmouth yard with the Jones target still on her deck un injured, except in its armour plating; plates of any size or thickness could be manufactured in the smith's shop of the dockyard, or they could be sent by rail from private makers ; in fact, the cost of fully testing Messrs. Horsfall and Clay's monster smooth-bore under such circumstances, would have been but trifling compared with the cost of testing the gun at Shoeburyness. The following appointments were made on Friday at the Admiralty :—Lieut. T. Borrett, Lieut: H. F. Campbell, Lieut. A. St. Clair, Lieut. J. C. Patter son, Lieut. W. M. Latham, and Lieut. F. A.

His Royal Highness the General Commanding ing-Chief will hold a levee at 1 o'clock on Thursday, the 24th inst. The Himalaya, screw troopship, Capt. J. Sec combe, arrived at Spithead on Saturday, from the Mediterranean, viith passengers and invalids, mili tary and naval. She sailed from Corfu on the 2d inst., at 9 la.m., called at Santa Maura on the 3d, arrived at Gibraltar at 6 a.m., on the 9th, and sailed again for England on the 14th, at 2 p.m. Her pas senger and troop list comprises :—From Gibraltar, Major-Gen. Sir William Codrington, Governor of Gibraltar, and the two Misses Codrington; Colonel Bruce, 2d battalion 2d Foot ; Col. Pane, 25th Foot ; Lients. Gyle and Barker, R.A. ; Quarter master Chadwick, Bth Foot ; Capt. Hervey, 2d Foot; Lieut. Stokes, 2d Foot; Lieut. Peachey, 3d Foot ; Lieut; Hughes, Bth Foot ; Lieut. Clarke, ; Lieut. H.

Molyneaux, Ensign Lloyd, and 11 rank and file of the 23d Regiment ; Ensign Smith, 7th Foot (in charge of invalids), and wife 55 rank and file of different regiments, and various ladies and civil passengers. She brought from Gibraltar, transhipped to her from the Magicienne paddle steamer, Cnpt. his Serene Highness the Prince Leiningen, horn Malta. Major C. Jolliffe, Royal Marine Artillery, to join headquarters in England; Lieut. Anstruther, R.M.A., on promotion ; Sub- Lie - at. T. P. Gurdon, R.N.) to join Victoria and Albert. Lieut. W. Clark ; 12 non-commissioned officers and 60 seamen and boys, six seamen dis charged as objectionable characters, five stewards and cooks discharged from the service, two privates of the Royal Marines to join the Aboukir, and three non-commissioned officers of the Royal Marines, on promotion. From Corfu the Himalaya brought Lieut. Lavan, Ist Battalion 9th Foot (in charge) and 48 rank and file of various regiments, 8 women, and 12 children. Major-General Sir William Cod rington and the Misses Codrington disembarked from the ship on Saturday, and proceeded by after noon train to London. With the exception of a fresh breeze off Cape St. Vincent, the Himalaya experienced fine weather and moderate winds throughout the homeward passage. Off Cape Spartel the English brig Gazeley, of Blyth, was passed. The Himalaya has landed LC!' passengers and military and naval invalids alongside Ports mouth Dockyard, and awaits future orders. We are sorry to learn that Capt. Seccombe will probably be compelled to resign the command of the ship, which has been so long and successfully associated with his name, owing to failing health. Instructions have been issued by the War De partment to the Royal carriage department of Woolwich Arsenal for the manufacture of Francis's corrugated galvanized-iron pontoon-waggons for general service in the army. Ten of that species are already completed, and are ready for issue. I The English patent for the manufacture of the waggons was purchased by Government of Mr. Francis, an American engineer, who was in Eng land about six years. His boats of the same ma terial have been partially in use in the dockyard and the offing since that period, and are found to answer exceedingly well, having sustained no da mage requiring repair since they were first taken into use. The only drawback appears to be an ob jection raised by the boatmen, that the pull is heavier than that of the ordinary wooden box, and that they require a greater number of oars. Capt. Simmons, 2d battalion, sth Regiment, is about to retire from the service. Lieut. Fawcett, of the Ist Royals, has been succeeded in command of the detachment stationed at Landguard Fort, Harwich, by Lieut. Gubbins. The following reinforcements embark at Graves end on Saturday, on board the chartered troop ship Adamant, for Calcutta, the vessel having been previously inspected by Major-Gen. Eyre : Lieut. Brough, Lieut. E. Stedman and 95 men of the Royal Artillery, from the Ist division, depot brigade, at Sheerness ; Ensign J. M. Mare and 29 men of the 34th Regiment, four lads of the 38th Regiment, Capt. V. T. Bayly and 32 men of the 54th Regiment, Lieut. H. Waring and 49 men of the 88th (Connaught Rangers), and Ensign E. S. E. Smith and 29 men of the 97th Regiment, from Colchester. In consequence of a telegraphic message received from Tilbury, the departure of draughts from the camp at Colchester, to join the service companies of their regiments in India (as noticed in The Sun of Friday), was countermanded, and they are not now expected to leave until the middle or close of this week. On Friday the detachment doing duty at the Convalescent Hospital, Great Yarmouth, was re lieved by a similar body from Colchester Camp. The remainder of the non-commissioned officers and men of the Royal Engineers who have been em ployed on the Oregon boundary survey have arrived at head-quarters, Chatham, having completed their abours. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. WESTERN CIRCUIT.—WINCHESTER, JULY 19. (Before Mr. Justice Keating.) THE HORRIBLE MURDER AT WATERLOO. Edward Lee, 26, a gipsy hawker, was indicted for the wilful murder of Eliza Colt Lee, at Water loo Ville, Hants, on the 21st June last. The gipsies congregated about the Castle, and there was considerable excitement among them. The Gipsy Queen was outside the court-house, gaily dressed, and the feeling against the prisoner was intense amongst his tribe_ His immediate gipsy relatives and friends expressed a hope that his life might be spared on the ground of insanity. On being brought to the bar prisoner seized the iron railings, and gazed around in a wild manner. He is a tall, well-built, gipsy man, with a piercing black eye, but could not be termed of repulsive ap pearance. He exhibited all the appearance of lunacy. Prisoner, on being called upon to plead, said in a crying tone, " Oh,, I'm guilty," and then stared wildly at the jury. It will be remembered that on the 21st June last the prisoner and his wife, who was in an advanced state of pregnancy, were travelling together in a van, when Lee was seized with a fit of jealousy, jumped from the footboard into the van, seized his wife, and having obtained a razor from a bag hang ing in the van he forced his wife's head over the half-door of the cart and cut her throat from ear to ear, noarly severing her head from her body. He then flung her body into the road, where it NV AB found by police-constable Deegan. Prisoner was conveyed to Winchester Gaol. Dr. Lyford, surgeon of Winchester Gaol, said— Ever since prisoner has been in gaol he has continued in a state of violent excitement. I believe that he is of unsound mind, and I should have no objection to give him a certificate for a lunatic asylum. Ido not think prisoner is capable of understanding the plea. The question of sanity having arisen, the jury were empanneled to try whether the prisoner was a lunatic or not. His Lordship explained the law in such cases, and concluded by saying, if they found the prisoner of unsound mind he would be detained and taken proper care of. Prisoner cried out in a mournful tone, " Oh, gen tlemen, I ain't mad. Will you let me speak ? Oh hear ! they wouldn't let me speak when I came up to the court." The jury having considered their verdict, found the prisoner' of unsound mind, and incapable of pleading to the indictment. Prisoner exclaimed " Oh, dear !" and gazing wildly at the judge and jury, clutched the iron rails of the bar, and crying aloud, said, " Oh, my, where am I to go to, sir ? Oh, dear, dear, where am I to go to ?" As he refused to withdraw his hold of the iron railing in front of the bar, he had to be forcibly removed, uttering piteous cries as he was conveyed below. THE MURDER ON THE MOH SEAS. John Colvin, aged 31, a man of repulsive appear ance, was indicted for the wilful murder of Capt. Thomas Williams, of the merchant vessel Pasithea, on the high seas, on the 20th of April last. Mr. Montague Bere prosecuted, and Mr. Bullen defended the accused. _ _ _ ----- Mr. M. Bere opened the case. He said, if after hearing the evidence they believed that it failed to establish that vindictiveness and malice on the part of the prisoner necessary to render him guilty of murder, they then, if they believed that the wound was inflicted by prisoner, and that he had no inten tion of killing him, would give him the benefit of the doubt, and find him guilty of manslaughter. The prisoner was steward on board the Pasithea, and on April 20,when the vessel was about 300 miles N.E. of the Cape de Verde Islands, the captain, mute, Mr. Harris (midshipman), and Mr. Smith (a passenger), were at dinner together in the saloon. Prisoner, in his capacity of steward, was going back wards and forwards to the pantry, which was only four feet square, and during dinner time, whilst prisoner was in there, a plate was heard to break, upon which Capt. Williams expressed some annoy ance, and went to see what had happened. As soon as the captain entered the pantry he closed the door, and shortly afterwards voices were heard, and a noise as of scuffling between two persons. Prisoner was heard to say, " What do you mean, Capt. Wilt liams ?" and almost directly Captain Williams was heard to exclaim, "Oh, Mr. Bishop, he is killing me." Mr. Bishop directly went to the door and forced it open, and found the captain lying with a wound in his stomach, from which the bowels pro - truded. Captain Williams was taken to his cabin, where he died in about half an hour. There was no evidence to show that the knife produced the death of Capt. Williams, but of that the jury could not entertain much doubt. Three or four other wounds were found on the person of the deceased, and a wound was also found on the prisoner at the back part of the neck. Prisoner's statement was that Capt. Williams came to the cabin, on account of his having broken the plate, with a carving-knife in his hand, and said, What do you mean by destroy in my property, you scoundrel ? I will bavp.myo life." And then deceased caught hoaldboefd him at the neck with his left hand a nd u st e b ensued, and the back part of the head. A they both fell down, Ca on the top.

Isik SERIOUS t.. I SSAULT ON A MAI?BIED TVOMAN. 'lts) Petty Sessions, Le v ,w , nth At the Westbury (W F 'er of Clink intent, Tu s o d y t h , t a s pig dealer named Butch. n Sainsbury, was st.m moned for assaulting Sara. rY7 wife of Jam es Sainsbury, dealer, of Westbury Leigh, 3d of June.—Mr. Bartrum a131311:4' ed for th o comp l a i nan t, and Mr. W. Illessiter, of Fronle, for thy s defendant.— The complainant said : My husbe and i a e ,ealer, of West bury Leigh; I have been married to him eight years, and have had seven children, al; born in we dlo ck ; on the even ing of Tuesday, th e 3d of June, — the &den dant came to our house respecting a horse he had .bought f husband the previous day, and which he said he had' lost from the field in which he had put it ; I had never I t een defendant before; my husband was not at home, and I sent z ny little boy after him, but he could not find him ; defendant said he had been walking about all the forenoon in search of the horse, but could not find it, and was sure it was about; the place some where; fearing we should not get our mei le, Y for the horse I said I would not mind going as far as T it ford m y s e l f t o look for tbe horse; defendant said he shouli. I..be very glad if I would go ; the distance from our house is t tree miles, and on the road I called at Mrs. Jones's, a friend, to ask if they had seen the horse, but they had not ; defeno \ant asked me which was the nearest way to Frome, and w. hich was the nearest way for me to return—by the way we . had come or round by Dilton's Mill; I said it was a little bit ',farther by Dilton's Mill, and he said he should be very mu .ch obliged to me if I would come his way, if it was not tali ing me out of the way ; I did so ; it was about half-past eig ht, and not dark; when we arrived nearly at the top of tl so lane the defendant put his arm across my shoulder; I : stopped im mediately, and told him I would not have that, aztd that I would not go a step further with him, as, if I r Lad come out with him, it was not for any other purpose than out of kindness to him to show him the way; he staid he did not mean any harm, and took his hand off my shoulder ; I said, I should think you did not, you are marriei 1, and so am I, and it is very hard if I cannot go on without your insulting me ;' he said he was very sorry, and would not attempt it again; we then walked on towards Dillon, as I was as near to that place as I was to Titford ; wl ten we got into Church-lane, a little beyond the Pou.nd, I was walking by the side of him, when he said, 'Look, here's a nice place,' and immediately took hold of me rownd my shoulders; I said, ' If you don't let go immediately I will tell Sainsbury, and you shall hear further of it ;' he said, 4 1 don't mean to hurt you,' and kept pushing me as hard as he was able against the bank at the side of the road. I struggled with him as hard as ever I could, and kept thi :•eatening him; when he found he could not throw me dos' 'n he lifted me off my feet, and threw me back against th e bank. I told him if he did not let me go I would cry as loud as I could ; he still repeated his attempts, and I told hi in I would tell Sainsbury. He said he didn't care for Saint ;bury, or any one else. (The complainant then proceeded to describe the assault which was attempted, but she strugg, led with him violently, and prevented him from accomplish, ing his pur pose.) The Beneh inflicted a fine of £lO upont the defen dant, or, in default, six months' imprisonment. PERISHABLE STONE. To the eye and to the touch, stone suggests the idea of imperishability, and though marble, sand stone, grenite, have their several peculiarities of susceptibility to decay, the fact is certain that there is no stone so hard or so homogeneous in :its cha racter, but the tooth of time will sooner or later pierce it, and the unrelenting fingers of the same austere personage will crumble it to powder. Gra nite has the repute of imperishability, yet the finest granite in the world, that of Syene in Egypt exhi bits on the rough faces of its unquarried blocks, marks of abrasion and disintegration by atmospheric influences alone, which have occurred since the time when the workmen of the Pharoahs hewed it out for pyramids and obelisks. I was one of the salient objections to the choice of granite for a memorial obelisk of Prince Albert, that no granite could be found which could be safely predicated to carry his memory down to a far posterity. We might have Egyptian architeoture, if we set as little value on human life as the old Egyptians, and if we had an Egyptian climate. When art critics observe in the galleries of the British Museum how little the sculptures from the Nile have suffered during the lapse of centuries, they are apt to overlook the fact that the dry, pure, bracing air of the land of Ham preserves even the human body more perfectly than any climate in the world, and that the softest stone is there almost as safe as the hardest, provided the hands of the sp oiler are kept away. Ignorant Turks and Arabs play pull down a temple to obtain stone to build a hut, and travellers may chip off the nose of a sphynx as a curiosity ; but the atmo sphere there has no corroding influences, and the work of the sculpture is as good an emblem of im mortality as the palm tree which never dies.— City Press.
