THE CIVIL WAR IN AMERICA. (Iron the Times Correspondent.) NEW YORK, JUNE 6. The battle on the banks of the Chickahominy , which General M'Clellan, in a proclamation to his soldiers, has named the Battle of Fair Oaks, has not yet been followed by a general engagement. Yester day there was a slight skirmish, consequent upon an attempt of the Confederates to prevent the recon struction of a destroyed bridge over the Chicka hominy, on the road to Mechanicsville. Beyond this all was quiet in both camps. A heavy storm of rain, that raised the waters of the Chickahominy several feet and flooded the low lands and swamps between that river and Richmond, interfered with all military movements, and will possibly prevent any considerable action on either side for a few days. In the meantime public expectation in this city is strained to the highest pitch. The Confederates have lately shown themselves so much more able to eva cuate great cities and important strategical positions than to retain or even to defend them, that large numbers of people believe that there will be no pitched battle at Richmond after all ; that within a week M'Clellan will occupy that city, as he occu pied Manassas and Yorktown, and as Halleck occu pied Corinth, and Butler New Orleans; and that the remnant of the Southern army will make its way into Texas, where it will be able to maintain itself for an indefinite length of time, if it do not even succeed in detaching that great State—which is as large as France and much more fertile—from the Union. There are others, again, who are of opinion that the Confederates really mean to fight this time—that General Lee and Mr. Jefferson Davis, both of whom are in Richmond, command an army of double the ngmerical strength of M'Clellan's; that their desperation is such that they will carry the threat of the Southern President into execution rather than surrender ; that literally the streets of Richmond will run with blood before it is captured ; and that when McClellan enters not one stone or brick of it will be left standing upon another. No one knows exactly what to think, although it must be admitted that very many affect to kn o w what to prophesy. Every thing about this war is so unexpected as to defy calculation. I, for one, shall not be surprised if the Confederates effect a masterly retreat before M'Clellan knows what they are about. Neither shall I be surprised if they make a second Moscow of their beautiful city, and enact the greatest and bloodiest tragedy ever -witnessed on this continent. One result is about as probable as the other, and if a third, undreamt-of or unimagined by anybody, should end the eventful history, it will bo accepted by most people as a matter of course, that they ex cite a sensation abroad but not at home. In a struggle so indecisive as that of Saturday and Sunday it was natural that both sides should claim the victory. While M'Clellan admits his own loss to be " heavy " but pronounces that of the enemy " enormous," the Confederates, on their side, assert that they "drove the Yankees back a mile and a half into the swamp," that " the Yankees fought despe rately, but were badly whipped," that "the carnage was terriblb on both sides," but that "the Yankees lost two to their one." While it is clear that there was no real victory to either side in this fierce en counter, it is almost equally clear from the detailed accounts that have since come in that the trial of strength must have cost the lives of 5,000 men, be sides the wounded ; and all for Liberty, Union, and Fraternity, and not in the least degree for the subju gation of the weaker party ! There is no trustworthy news, though there are many reports, as to the whereabouts of General Beauregard. A despatch from General Halleck, announcing the capture by General Pope of a divi sion of the Confederate army lately at Corinth, amounting to 10,000 men, leads to the inference that Beauregard's army did not retire in ono body or by one line of railroad. Indeed, it seems probable that a portion of it has gone to Memphis, and another portion, under Beauregard himself, to Okolona, as originally reported. Where that re markable general, who certainly fights well when he has a chance, but who as certainly rails away with a precision end scientific completeness unpa ralleled in the history of this war, will next be heard of, it is useless to conjecture. Were it not for the Mississippi, and the 'ascending and descending Federal flotillas which ought about this time to effect a junction upon its waters somewhere be tween Vicksburg and Memphis, it might be ex pected that Beauregard would Strike for the latter point, and cross over into the wild but friendly re gions of Arkansas, whence he might make his way leisurely into Texas. If Vicksburg, as reported in to-day's papers, be still in the possession of the Con federates, and if the guns of Fort Randolph, above Memphis, still guard the river against the passage of the descending flotilla from Island No. 10, also reported from Cairo and Chicago, there is a dis• tance of upwards of 400 miles on the Mississippi in the possession of the Confederates, at more than one point of which Beauregard, if not hard pressed by Gen. Halleck's pursuing armies, might effect a passage. The achievement, though difficult, would not be impossible. Could Beauregard accomplish it, he might even yet run away with the highest mili tary honours of the war, and establish for himself a reputation second only to that of Xenophon. But unless he and the other Confederate leaders succeed in retreating into Texas there is not the slightest hope for their cause. Their secession er rebellion is at an end, Their dream of independence has va nished. They can do nothing further to realise it unless by carrying on a savage and hopeless gue rilla warfare amid the swamps and mountains of their more inaccessible regions, a course of proceed ing that would deprive them of the little sympathy that is left for them, and which is daily growing less as reverse follows upon reverse. If Great Bri tain end France have any intention of stepping in at th e last moment to stay the tide of battle, now is their time to urge submission upon the South . and magnanimity upon the North, The act would be gracef u l a , well as friendly—would be hailed with satisfaction by all moderate and sensible men, and would relieve Mr. Lincoln's Government of a great difficulty in the future management of the affairs of the Republic. Should, however, the Confederate chieftains, beaten at every point, as they are ce rtain to be, succeed in r eac hi ng Texas, the question Would assume a diffe rent aspect, the war would gain a new life, and complexities and difficulties would arise that might be equally troublesome to E u r ope and America. But, though victory atte nds the Northe rn arms, events every now and then occ ur to prove what all the world can see except the Republican party i n this country, how much more difficult it will be to govern the Southern States hereafter, upon the principles entertained by a portion of Mr. Lincoln' s Cabinet, than to conquer and re-annex them to the Union. Mr. Lincoln has personally pursued a clear, straightforward, well defined, and consistent policy. He declares it to be his business to restore the Union and the Constitution. But some of his sec retaries understand the matter differently, and de clare it to be his and their business to restore the Union without the Constitution, or with such modifications of the Constitution as shall get rid of slavery in States that have a constitutional right to retain it. Mr. Lincoln and Mr. Seward are sup posed to be of one mind and purpose on this matter —to look at facts, not at theories, and to shape their course accordingly. Mr. Stanton, Mr. Chase, and Mr. Sumner, the latter not a member of the Government, but an official in high place, entertain a different opinion, and foreseeing that as the !laver), question caused one attempt at Secession must inevitably came another in due course of tine, unless slavery be abolished (which is the philosophical and logical, but n ot the statesman like or p ractical mode of settl ing the difficulty), they have b een continually doing their best— though at the eminent risk of protracting the w ar—to force u the President an abolition policy. They a pp r o ved ywhioi the proclamation of General Fremont b he took upon him self to emancipate the slave s i n . his m i l itary dis trict. They also approved the egreg • e_ns proolama• Lion of General Hu nter to the same effect and have been powerful enoug h to retain him in his com mand—though not to prevent the President's disavowal and nullification of his unauthorised r interference in affairs beyond his province. Within the last three days a new difficulty of the kind has arisen, which has created quite a storm among the churches and chapels, that is ominous of future evil and dissension, whatever may be the fortunes of the war. The State of North Carolina has never been very fierce in the cause of Secession, and the Fede ral Government, holding possession of its seaboard, through the agency of General Burnside, has lately appointed Mr. Edward Stanley, a distinguished native of the State and a strongly-declared Union ist, to be its military Governor. His nomination was intended to conciliate the North Carolinians, and has had that effect to a very considerable ex tent. Before his appointment Gen. Burnside had allowed, or at all events had taken no hostile notice of an attempt made by some Northern abolitionists, headed by the Rev. Dr. Colyer, of this city, to esta blish negro schools at Newbern. It is not anywhere stated on authority that the schools were very suc cessful, or that adtilt runaway negroes of the mature age of 50 had made, or were likely to make, much progress in the alphabet preparatory to a course of reading of the Scriptures ; but it is certain the esta blishment of these schools gave great offence to the North Carolinians, who, like all the pro-slfrery people, are very touchy and unreasonable on the question of negro emancipation or negro elevation— and that the Governor's efforts and persuasion to induce his secessionist countrymen to return to their allegiance, and take the oath of fealty to the Union, were consequently weakened or rendered nugatory. The attempt to educate the negroes was supposed to be instigated by the Federal Govern ment ; and as the timid Southern people imagined that every educated negro would read abolition tracts and novels, to prepare himself for cutting his master's throat, the waverers were fast coming to the conclusion that the chances of a successful rebel lion, bad as they seemed, were much brighter than their fate would be in a war of races, with the North against them as well as their slaves and the free blacks. It was at length pointed out to the Uovernoi that it was contrary to the laws and the constitution of North Carolina to establish a negro school, and that any person so offending was liable to fine and imprisonment as well as to banishment. The Go vernor immediately did as was expected of him. He notified to Dr. Colyer that the school must be abandoned; and Dr. Colyer, who is asserted to be the protege in this instance of Mr. Chase, returned to New York in high dudgeon to stir up the churches. A Mr. Helper, brother of the celebrated Mr. R. H. Helper, whose book on Slavery did al most as much as the raid of John Brown into Vir ginia to exasperate the South and provoke the Secession, who had left a subordinate position in the army to devote himself to the tuition of the North Carolinian negroes, young and old, hereupon wrote an indignant and very improper letter to the Governor, pointing out to him the error of his ways on the subject of slavery, and asking for an expla nation. The Governor replied by ordering him to leave North Carolina by the first steamer, and Mr. Helper, preferring his liberty in New York to im prisonment for conscience sake in North Carolina, took his departure within 24 hours. The conse quence of these events has been a tempest in the pulpits and in the abolitionist press of Boston and New York, as well as an angry feeling in the Cabi n6t. Mr. Stanly has been called " Scorpion Stanly,' , in parody of Daniel O'Connell, who once attempted to fasten the same soubrequet upon Lord Derby ; and has furthermore been vilified as a " cruel wretch," a " scourge of the most malignant sort," and a " miserable tool." His closing of the schools in obedience to the laws of the State that he governs, and which he has no power or right to abrogate or alter, has been stigmatized as a malignant outrage, infamous in itself, a disgrace to the nation, and an offence to the enlightened conscience of the civilized world ; and Mr. Lincoln has been peremptorily called upon to dismiss him forthwith from his office if ha do not docciro I, lu ** cue execration which his name will call down upon itself to the end of time ;" and other such choice Buncombe. Mr. Stan ton has threatened to resign, but unfortunately will not carry his threat into effect ; and Mr. Lincoln, though sorely beset, will quietly and coolly sup port his Governor, and allow the matter to drop— though, doubtless, his sympathies are in favour of negro schools wherever they can be legally esta blished. As there are some thousands of negroes, both juvenile and adult, in the State of New York who have no acquaintance with the letters of the alphabet, the Rev. Dr. Colyer and Mr. Helper have a fine field in this city and neighbourhood if they please to cultivate it; and, as there is no law here against negro tuition, they will not only incur no danger, but will entitle themselves to as much gra titude from all real philanthropists as if they still persisted in bestowing their exclusive attentions upon North Carolina. This little episode in the history of the war shows the difficulties which the slavery question may be expected to create in the re-established Union unless the Abolition party should in the meantime learn to be content with their own liberty, without forcing their ideas upon the South, that repudiates, detests, and is afraid of them. This, however, is not probable, and the Re-Union will be as much agitated as the Union was with the interminable question of negro slavery, the curse of this Republic, that will neither abolish it nor endure it. But although Messrs. Stanton, Chase, and Sum ner have not been, and are not likely to be, success ful in the Carolinas or any other part of the South, they have been so far successful in Washington as to poocure the passage of a bill through both Houses of Congress for the recognition of the black Repub lics of Hayti and Liberia. It is understood, how ever, that these Governments are to send white ambassadors to Washington, under the penalty of social ban and excommunication. Mr. Chase has to-day authorised the publication of a statement of the particulars of the National Debt up to the 29th of May last. From this d-)eu ment it appears that the whole liabilities of the State only amounted to 491,448,984 dols., or a little more than /98,000,000 sterling. But this reckon ing will not deceive financiers either in the Old World or in the New. This sum, large as it is, includes the loans sanctioned by Congress since 1842, the Treasury Notes, the Certificates of Indebtedness, the United States' Notes, and the bonds of various kinds sanctioned by the same authority; but does not include the war bounties of 100 dols. each for 700,000 men, to be paid at the conclusion of the war ; or the liabilities outstanding against the Government and daily accruing for iron-clad and other vessels, and military and naval expenses of various kinds, amounting at the very lowest estimate to 150,000,000 dols., or £30,000,0u0 sterling; or any portion of the sums to be paid for the manumission of slaves in the district of Colum bia, or in any of the Slave States that have been in vited to take the initiative in emancipation at the "Pease of the Federal Government, and scores of other i tems that would figure in the account, d i d i t snit th e present purpose of Mr. Chase to make a clean cenf ebs „ But paper money is superabun dant.

PAINTING.—" She isn't all that fancy painted her I" bitterly exclaimed a rejected lover; "and, worse than that, she isn't all that she paints herself," THEIISUN LONDON, SATURDAY, EVENING, JUNE 21, 1862. THE NAVY. The iron frigate Black Prince, 40, 1,250-horse power, ordered to be commissioned for sea, is to have a complement of 704 officers and men, as also her proportion of Royal Marine Artillery and Royal Marines, the number being the same as that for a line-of-battle ship. A plan of an improved steering apparatus for vessels of the Resistance, Warrior, and Defence class, whereby considerably increased power can be brought to bear on the rudder, the invention of Mr. Robinson, senior-assistant master shipwright at Sheerness dockyard, has been laid before the Lords of the Admiralty, and approved by their lordships. The invention is to be fitted on board the Resistance, 18, iron frigate, fitting for the Chatham steam re serve, under the superintendence of Mr. Robinson, and if found to answer satisfactorily, will be forth with applied to the other iron vessels of the same class. METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS. The weekly meeting of the Board of Works was held yesterday—Mr. L. Taylor in the chair. Mr. John Muller, M.P., Mr. P. H.

THE QUEEN'S PROCTOR V. WILLIAMS-THE STEPNEY MURDER. This morning the case for the defendant, who asserted that he was the lawful nephew of Mary Emsley, the old woman who was murdered byJames Mullins, at Stepney, in the year 1860, was resumed, and additional evidence of the kind tendered yes terday was given. A certificate was put in of a marriage contracted in 1780 at St. Dunstala's-in the-East, between Samuel Williams and Mary Pou pare, who it was suggested were the parents of Mrs. Emsley and the defendant's father. Mr. Macaulay, Q.C., then addressed the Court for the Crown, and said he should adduce evidence to impugn the legitimacy both of Mrs. Emsley and of the defendant. The learned gentleman called Mr. Bigg, a minister of the " Catholic and Apos tolic Church," who said he had known the deceased for about four years. She occasionally attended wit ness's chapel in Bishopsgate-street, and after her husband's death she used frequently to talk to wit ness about her affairs. Was on intimate and confi dential terms with her—very much so. She did not say much about her relations, but she frequently stated that she had no one she cared about, and that all her property would go to the Crown. NV fit ness used to laugh, and she would reply, "Alf, you may laugh, but it will—it will indeed." The only relation that she had ever spoke of, that witness could recollect, was a niece that used to do a little collecting for her—Mrs. Gotz. Cross-examined by Mr. O'Malley, Q.C.—The " Catholic and Apostolic Church" was sometimes stigmatised as the Irvingite body, but that was an offensive and untrue term. Mr. O'Malley had known Irving, and regretted to hear that his name was regarded as offensive by any one. Witness's rank was that of pastor. Had received a regular ordination. Was a widower. Had proposed marriage to Mrs. Emsley a dozen times. Could not say that he had ever been directly refused. She used to say the affairs were not settled. Did not de pose at the inquest that the last time she said " No," to him, he replied " God's will be done." Their intercourse always began in God's fear, and always ended with "The will of the Lord be done." Was not always "at her" to marry him. Was not prepared to say when - he first mentioned these declarations of the deceased. Had told Mr. Rose, Mr. Emsley's solicitor, that he had never received anything for his services to her. It was certainly not her intention that he should not be paid. Mr. Rose did not tell witness that if the Crown got the property, his services would be considered. Would swear Mr. Rose had never told him that the claims of every one would be considered by the Crown. Looking on this or any other court as a honourable one, witness was satisfied that it would not let him go unremunerated for the services he had rendered the deceased. Expected that whichever succeeded, the crown would see him remunerated. Had never suggested to the deceased that she should make a will, but had told her that if anything happened to her, he was sure she would not feel comfortable to leave him destitute. (Great laughter.) She often spoke to witness about making her will, and said, " What shall I leave you ?" He replied, "It is not for me to choose." There was no necessity for witness to press the making of the will on the deceased. It was a mere volunteer on witness's part. Knew that the deceased would not die com fortably if she made no provision for him ; and he did not believe that she did, if she was conscious at all when she died. She was a person more likely to outlive witness than witness her. Witness's motive was not mercenary—certainly not. His motive was to do her all the good he could, and he had done it. Had rendered her all the good he was able, both in spiritual and in temporal matters. Would that she had received more of better things ! (Laughter.) Mr. O'Malley—You mean, "Would that she had made a will !" (Laughter.) Witness—You may say so—l don't. The Judge—l think that the jury and I may say so. (Laughter.) Witness had wished to elevate the deceased in life, (Laughter.) Did not go to her after chapel on Sunday night to make up her accounts—certainly not. Did visit her on Sunday evenings, but die_ not look at her books on these osoasions. Kept a pri vate book in which he entered when the rents be came due, in order that he might know when he should have occasion to write out receipts for her. Had lunched at her house. Mr. O'Malley—Did you ever have any pineapple rum there? (Great laughter.) Witness thought the question was a little inquisi tive. Did nut know that she had any pineapple rum. Could not remember having any rum at all at her house. Had taken a drop of beer with her. Mr. R. A. Simmonds had been trustee to Mrs. Emsley under her marriage settlement. Deceased had asked him to be an executor. Said she intended to leave her property to charities, as she had no one particular to bequeath her money to: She said nothing about her relations. Edward Emsley, an inspecting messenger at the Charing-cross post-office, was a brother of the de ceased's husband. Could not say bow she came by her property. She had told witness that if she made no will her property would go to the Crown. Never heard her mention the Williams family. Had heard her speak of a person who she said was her half sister; bat could not recollect that person's name. Cross-examined—She told witness that her pro perty would go to the Crown not a month before she was murdered. Thomas Emsley, another brother, was a clerk in the Inland Revenue-office. The deceased had told him that she would make a will in favour of himself and brothers; adding, " If I don't, the Queen will get my property ; and I am sure I don't want that, Thomas." Cross-examined—Collected her rents for her; but was not paid for his trouble. Was promised pay ment by Mrs. Emsley, but did not believe her. Be lieved her as little when she promised to make her will. Mr. William Rose, solicitor to Mrs. Emsley, had never heard that the deceased had any relatives till after her death. She had consulted witness about making a will. She said she was desirous of I building alms-houses, an d s h e stat e d th a t she had no relations. Communicated with the soli citor to the Treasury about a week after the disco very of her remains. Cross-examined—Held several equitable mort gages over the deceased's property. Was preparing to sell when a bill was filed by defendant against witness charging him with being about to effect a precipitate sale, without having made advances to the deceased. Answered that bill, and denied that defendant was heir-at-law. Did not allege in the answer that deceased had made any statement about having no relations. Put a great deal more in his answer than his pleader thought judicious, and it was struck out. Was aware that the Crown did not redeem mortgages. Told Mr. Reynolds that he should pay the balance into the Treasury to be divided amongst the natural relations. Benjamin Emsley, brother to the previous wit nesses, gave evidence similar to theirs. Elizabeth Ann Bachelor, daughter of the Mrs. Colchin already referred to,said her mother's maiden name was Spencer. The deceased was witness's aunt. Lived with her four years when she was Mrs. Jones. Then the deceased apprenticed her to the cap-making business. Witness's father's name was Dr,uce. Had two brothers living. Her mother used to call Mrs. Emsley her half-sister. She said they had had two fathers and one moVier. The witness, her sister-in-law Elizabeth Druce, and her brother William Druce, identified a book produced as having belonged to their mother. It contained entries in their father's and their aunt Ann Spen cer's handwriting. The court then adjourned. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Fonblanque.) IN RE AUGUSTUS NEWTON. The bankrupt was a barrister, of Curzon-street, Mayfair. He recently applied for and obtained his order of discharge, but this being appealed against, a rehearing was directed on the ground that notice of the sitting had not appeared in the list exhibited at the door of the court on the morning of the sit ting. The matter now came on for rehearing. The official assignee, in his report on the case, says that the debts amount to £3,150, and that the cre ditors are 149 in number, comprising Upwards of 70 trades, including four tailors, four th re e hosiers, two drapers, three greengr ocers, , six wine merchants, nine poulterers,lawyers, and six moneylenders. There were no assets. His cre ditors had supplied household furniture and other which pr o p erty h ad goods to the amount of £2BO, not been accounted for. Mr. Sargood opposed for Mr. Johnson, m ilit ar y tailor, of Sackville-stre e t, w h ose bill was £49, and he had also been put to near l y £ 4O costs. more expense as The bankrupt objected to any further examine.- tion being gone into. The Lords Justices had granted a rehearing, on account of the case not hav ing appeared in the list at the door ; and on this occasion it neither appeared in the newspapers nor in the list. His Honour decided that the examination aould proceed. The bankrupt deposed that he was a member of the bar ; he had been disbarred about 1850, and h d thrice petitioned the Insolvent Debtors Court. is 1851 he was discharged from debts of upwards of £8,000; in 1853, from £l,lOO of debts; and iri 1856, from £9,000, a great portion of which was balanced by set-offs. In passing his examination here, ho had only stated one of his insolvencies, in 1856. Since he was disbarred, he had followed no regular occupation, but had been employed by the late Sir R. Price in matters of agency connected with his estate. Since his last insolvency had had no regular occupation, but had been assisted by his wife's friends, to the extent year n xte o n s t e o t t tl i ed sO in O c a ome. on cof the s average; but there was present debts a great:proportion was for law costs. Had lived in Curzon-street for the last five years. Could not tell to whom the house belonged. An action of ejectment had been brought by the mort gagee, a clergyman, in Connaught-spare, the mort. gagor being the Rev. Brook Bridges, of Worcester shire. Witness was tenant to Sir Robert an'l after wards Lady Price, under a yearly lease, which had expired. In 1858 lie was distrained upon. On; ~ c' part of the furniture was his. It was sold, bought in by Lady Price, and settled on his wife and daugh ter after her. He had no interest in the settlement. Some of the debts in his present balance-sheet had been contracted since the settlement was made in 1858. There was nothing in the house of any value purchased since the settlement was male. There were some trifling articles, such as brushes, supplied for the servants in 1860, 28s. 3d. Mr. Sargood—What has become of cll the pro perty you have purchased of tradesmen since No vember, 1858 ? The Bankrupt—Of course, the wine is con. sumed. (A laugh.) Nothing has been given up to the assignee. Messrs. Copeland are creditors for china that was sent into the house, but believed it was all broken. Messrs. Routledge were creditors for £36, for the publication of a work of his. It was a dead loss to him, and the copyright was worth nothing. Messrs. Mechi were creditors for £l4 for a dressing •case, of which he made a present to his son on his marriage. Messrs. Serle were creditors for £l6 for a pleasure-boat—what was called a gig; that had been returned, and two-thirds the cost allowed. Messrs. Weekes, nurserymen, were ore ditors for £lO, for flowers and plants supplied for the garden. Mr. Sargood—The Insolvent Court having let you off £lB,OOO of debt on three occasions, what have you to say for coming hero now with other £3,000 of debts ? Bankrupt—A great deal of those debts are as to law costs—all with the exception of about £9OO. I have been involved in a great deal of litigation in Chancery, and before the House of Lords. Mr. Mallam, solicitor to Mr. Johnson, the oppo sing creditor, proved that the bankrupt defended Mr. Johnson's action,and thus obtained six months' time. The costs were taxed at £39 12s. They would have £3 Bs. if judgment had gone by default. The bankrupt stated that ho had been specially advised to plead to the action by Mr. Justice Cromp. ton, on account of time having been given. He was then much occupied with the suit of " Newton v. Ricketts" in the House of Lords ; it was appointed for trial on same day as Mr. Johnson's action in the Queen's Bench. He could not attend both places as a witness, and on that ground only did he agree to com promise the action. Here, the creditor having made his own arrangement without going to trial, he could not be held guilty of a vexatious defence. As to the settlement, he was not in London when it was made, and had no control in the matter. The Commissioner—Then how came you to incur subsequent debts ? The bankrupt said that they were chiefly law costs ; beyond those he had not incurred debts of £l,OOO, and many of those had been incurred by members of his family. He was certainly not pre pared to justify all those debts. He had already suffered two months' imprisonment at the suit of Mr. Johnson, to whose action he believed he had a good defence. Mr. Sargood submitted that this was a case in which no order at all should be granted. It was a painfully discreditable one. The Commissioner said he did not attach much importance to the vexatious defence, though he considered it proved ; and had it stood alone a short suspension would have been sufficient. What weighed most on his mind was this—that with an experience of three insolvencies, under one of which the bankrupt was discharged from a very heavy amount of debt, he should still have persevered in an unjustifiable course. From the date of the deed of settlement he was denuded of all property; and it did not appear that lie had any regular occupa tion or profession that would justify his incurring debts; notwithstanding that, there was scarcely a description of trader who did not appear in his schedule, from Hunt and Roskell, jewellers, down to a little milliner, whose debt was 225. The necessary conelusion was that those debts had been contracted without reasonable probability of his being able to pay them, and that the expen diture had been excessive and unjustifiable. As he had been two months in prison the discharge would be suspended for 10 months from that date. The bankrupt asked for protection. His Honour would say nothing about protection one way or the other. He did not know what pro tection meant under the new act. THE ACCIDENT TO THE FLEET SEWER. Mr. BAZALGETTE, the chief engineer, brought up a report in reference to the late falling in of the Fleet Sewer, and the inundation of the Metrepoli tan Underground Railway. It was as follows : " I beg to report that the railway had been excava ted in the line parallel with and close to the line of l i the Fleet Sewer, and at a depth considerably below the bottom of that sewer. The ground between the railway and the sewer was made ground, which having been disturbed and loosened by the railway company's works, allowed the sewer to spread and flatters, and on the 16th inst. the crown of the sewer fell in. On the 16th I wrote to Mr. Fowler, engi neer to the railway, a letter, and that on a subse quent inspection the condition of things appeared so critical, that I felt it my duty, for the safety of the public and adjoining property, to take the mat ter in my own hand, and 1 received a letter from Mr. Fowler. On Tuesday morning, seeing that further mischief was possible, I gave orders for the immediate diversion of the Fleet Sewer through a new open channel, and the strengthening of the timbers in the trench. A further length of the sewer, and the side walls of the railway, however, fell in that afternoon, and the sewer for the present dis charges into the railway. This morning I received a letter from Mr. Fowler, and learned that some gentleman had inspected the works on behalf of the company. I, therefore, felt the necessity upon my own responsibility and upon the emergency to re quest two independent engineers to inspect the works in their new condition in order hereafter to protect the interests of this board, all which I now submit for the sanction of the board, and I recommend that the solicitor of the board be instructed to give the Metropolitan Railway Company notice that this board will look to them to defray the cost, and make good all damage which has most unquestionably been caused by their works. " J. W. BAZALGETTE, Chief Engineer." This led to a short consultation, and the report was approved and referred to the Main Drainage Committee, and the solicitor was instructed to give notice to the Metropolitan Railway Company to re instate the works. _ _ The other business was disposed of and the board adjourned. THE I.N7E.RNATIONAL EXHIBITION. It is evident that the Exhibition now floats on the tide which leads on to fortune. There can scarcely be a doubt of its financial success, for it is certain that whatever may have been the numbers on any day up to the present time, by the end of July those numbers will be nearly doubled. It will be in the latter days of next month, and during August and September, that the rush of country visitors will come. By that time we shall sec those throngs of provincial mechanics and labourers who contributed so much to the surplus which accrued from the World's Fair of 1851. Already clubs in the provinces are providing themselves with tickets for admission a month hence. Yesterday 500 shilling tickets were sold to the representative of a working-men's club at Hemel Hempstead—and this is but an instalment from that place. Employers, too,The G are a d sl a i i g ly ht pu e r h c d ha c si e n k g e tic c k e e m ts p f a o h r y t he h i e r d w o m rk e m ee e r n e. . Welch and Sons yesterday bought tickets to the value, respectively, of £3O and £l6; and a host of others purchased packets of shilling and half-crown tickets to the value of four, five, and six pounds. Th. arch-aa visea concession of the commissioners, which we noticed yesterday, will bear speedy fruits, and to , day is expected to be a bumper. We are informed that the announcement in yesterday's article that Wednesday would be the five-shilling day instead of Saturday is erroneous. The admis sion on Wednesday will continue to be a shilling; and the five-shilling days.are altogether abandoned. It is more than probable that in a few weeks en trance on Saturday will be a shilling, at least in the afternoon ; and, perhaps, it is advisible that for the present the admission should not be placed lower than half-a-crown. But we have no doubt that it will eventually come to a shilling, and we have also little doubt that when it is lowered to that sum the commissioners will be astonished at the addition to their receipts. The numbers yesterday were 26,849, of whom 5,721 entered by season tickets. Among the distin guished visitors were the Viceroy of Egypt, who remained until an advanced hour of the afternoon, Lord and Lady Foley,' the Hon. Charles Murray, and a party of Hungarians, who evidently enjoyed the brilliant scene that expanded before them as they entered. Another party of lunatics from Dr. Armstrong's Peckham House Asylum were yesterday enabled to see the Exhibition by the kindness of the gentleman under whose charge they are, and again we have to notice with satisfaction that the poor creatures bore themselves with the utmost quietness of demeanour. A week or two since we said that every sewing machine in the Exhibition seemed to the uninitiated twin brother to its neighbour. There is, however, a vast difference between those of various makers. when we come to examine their operation and their work more closely. Of all that we have in spected—and the mere enumeration of them would fill up all our available space —none seems so per feet as that sbown in the Processes Court by Messrs. Thomas and Co., of Newgate-street. These gentle men are well and favourably known to the public as the original manufacturers and patentees of sew ing machines in this country, For 14 years have some of these machines held their own against all competitors, and even now there are no machines to equal them, most certainly none to surpass them, in every branch of sewing, be it the finest silk or cam bric or on harness leather. They are very easily managed ; in fact a lesson of half an hour's dura tion is quite sufficient to qualify the least expert person ; and they have another decided advantage —it is almost impossible that they should get out of order. The stitch is regular and elastic, without cord or ridge, is both sides alike, and cannot be pulled out. The Royal visitors, as well as the Japanese ambassadors, have honoured Messrs. Thomas with an inspection of their machines, and the latter especially have been pleased to express their high appreciation of the ingenuity displayed in their structure, and the perfection of the me chanism which they display. Messrs. Thomas have, we may here note, presented to all their workmen and their families tickets for admission to the Exhi bition, with a holiday in which to use them. One of the most attractive stands in the Exhibi tion, holding some of the most attractive goods in Class 21 is that of Messrs. M'Dougall and Co., the eminent tartan manufacturers of Inverness, whose London address during the Exhibition is 24, Brewer street, Regent-street. One of the most interesting facts in connection with the tartans of this firm is that they are made by Highlanders, out of native wools. Messrs. M'Dougall have, in fact, done Scot land a service, by giving to the inhabitants of the glens an opportunity of remunerative employment; and really some of the goods thus produced are un equalled by any shown in the Exhibition, where are collected the best samples of every manufacture. Messrs. M'Dougall's stand cannot be missed. It is situated right in front of the visitor as he ascends I the staircase leading from the eastern dome to the south gallery, and will well repay a few moments spent in its inspection ere he hastens on to the other wonders of the building. Among the articles exhi bited, which include beautiful linsey woolseys, tweeds, shawls, stockings, " plaidies" must be espe cially mentioned, the tartans of which excel in beauty, texture, and harmony of colour any goods of the sort which have ever come under our notice. Some shawls made of Vicuna wool, imported from South America will, we are certain, be e xtensively patronised as soon as they are known. On one side these shawls exhibit the natural colour of the wool; t a h n e d t o a n r t t a h n e p o a t t e e r r n t they . e y But display the t nt h e e e m t n o s e t t a b h e l a e u ti fu o fact f I re mainsnary fi;u finger r es i e i n sl o i !

The works connected with the sea defences for the protection of the entrance to Chatham harbour are now partially interrupted, Few hands are now employed in the construction of the two large bat teries, or forts, on each side of the river below Chatham dockyard in comparison with the large number engaged on those undertakings some months since. The foundation of the large fort at Folly Point, which will guard the entrance to the locks communicating with the three great steam basins about to be constructed at Chatham dockyard, is nearly finished; but the erection of the superstruc ture will be delayed until the questior. of granite walls versus iron-clad ships has been more fully dis cussed. The most serious difficulties have had to be encountered in prosecuting the works for the erec tion of Darnet Fort, on the opposite side of the river, ulivul, tLiee iulleS below unatnam dockyard. The soft, spongy nature of the soil on which the large fort is to be erected has rendered it almost impossible to obtain anything like a firm foundation for the massive battery which will be placed at that spot. Although the works connected with the foun dation of the Darnet Fort have been several months in hand, comparatively little progress has been made in that undertaking in consequence of all attempts to prevent repeated irruptions of the exterior water having until recently failed. On three occasions every vestige for the foundation, laid under the greatest difficulties, was swept away by the sea, but at length these engineering difficulties appear to have been conquered, and the formation of the sub structure of the battery is being carried on with as much expedition as the formidable obstacles to be encountered will admit. Individual opinion, how ever, inclines to the belief that, although the spot selected for a battery at Darnet Ness is in all re spects an admirable one, yet a serious mistake is likely to be made in the description of fort intended to be erected on the site. The unanimous opinion of practical engineers who have inspected the loca lity is decidedly adverse to any heavy mass of ma sonry being placed at that point, the opinion being freely expressed that, if built. in accordance with the original intentions of the Government, the treacherous, sloppy, and yielding nature of the ground will render it almost certain that the fort will not stand, by reason of the heavy pressure it will exert on such unreliable soil. It must also be borne in mind that, in addition to the mere weight of some thousands of tons of bricks and granite, there will be the pressure of the heavy guns com posing the armament of the battery, together with the accumulation of vast quantities of shot, shell, powder, and other stores, all of which will severely test the hardness of a spot which experience would seem to prove is partially undermined by the action of a strong under current at that min+ .f *h. .1 ' , cr. c.,..iaciftuic progress nas been made in the erection of the formidable battery at Garrison Point, on the spot where formerly stood the old Cavalier and Half-moon Batteries constructed many years since. This battery, in conjunction with the existing Mar tello tower on Grain Spit, and the forts to be erected on the opposite side of the Channel, on the Isle of Grain, will effectually guard the entrance to the Medway, and, as the navigation of the river renders it impossible for any vessel to escape the range of the guns from both batteries, any attempt of a hostile fleet to ascend the river to Chatham will thereby be rendered all but impossible. The foun dations of the battery have been completed, but the works will be delayed for the present until final orders from the Government have been received, when the casemated battery, magazines, &c., at Gar rison Point will be commenced simultaneously with the battery at Darnet Head. The existing sea de fences will also be materially strengthened by the erection of a casemated battery at Cheney Rock, which is situate about 1,200 yards to the eastward of the salient angle of No. 1 bastion on the ex treme right of the fortification, the guns from which will cross their fire with those mounted on the bastions of the present fortress, A bat tery will also be erected on a commanding posi• tion at Queenborough ; and this will be connected with the other forts by a broad and deep ditch, which will intersect the island of Sheppy. The estimated cost of the defences to be erected on each side of the Medway, for the better protection of the naval establishments at Chatham and Sheerness is £340,000, of which amount £BO,OOO is the cost of the land required to be purchased by the Govern ment. The additional defences for the protection of Chatham garrison, arsenal, and dockyard on the land side aro estimated to cost the sum of £500,000, £150,000 of which will be expended in the pur chase of land on which the line of forts will be built. Beyond taking possession of the required' lands the Government has not yet made any com mencement with the ert.ction of the land defences at Chatham. The whole of the cast iron ordnance mounted on the forts and batteries at Chatham and the defences at the entrance to tae Medway, as well as the seve ral descriptions of guns in store at the Ordnance wharf, Chatham, have been minutely inspected by Capt. Dyer, Assistant-Inspector of Artillery, and the staff from Woolwich. Some guns have been condemned as being unserviceable. The greatest number of defective guns were found among those mounted on the forts :and batteries, commanding the approach to the river, several of the large 10-inch, 8-inch, and 32-pounders being found un serviceable, either from large fissures at the bottom of the vent, or from defects in the vent. The num ber of unserviceable guns was, however, not so large as was anticipated, when the great number of rounds of solid shot and common and diaphragm shell fired away at practice by the Royal Artillery are taken into consideration. The whole of the unserviceable guns have been dismounted, and will be removed to Woolwich, where they will either be revented or broken up. Captain Dyer has com menced the examination of the guns at Tilbury Fort, New Tavern Fort, and the other forts and batteries which defend the Thames. The party of Royal Engineer non-commissioned officers who have been for some time past under training at the head-quarters of the Royal Engi neer establishment, Chatham, to qualify themselves for appointment as instructors to the various En gineer Volunteer Corps, under the regulations laid down by the Duke of Combridge, having completed their course of instruction, the first appointments have just been made at Brompton-barracks by the Secretary of State for War. Instructors have accordingly been sent to the Bristol Volunteer Engineer Corps ; the Ist Lanarkshire (Glasgow), the Ist West Riding (Sheffield); and the Ist Cum berland Volunteers (Cockermouth).

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. —REFUSING TO TAKE A FARE BY A CABMAN.—Thomas Britten, cab man was summoned by Captain Robert Garnham, of M on tague-square, for refusing to take a fare. Mr. E. Lewis appeared for the defendant. Captain Garnham said, on the 13th of June he hailed the defendant in Hyde-park, but the defen dant made some kind of motion, indicating refusal and shortly afterwards drew up to take a fare con sisting of four or five persons. Having been refused by three or four cabmen, who saw that the fare was not more than two persons, he determined to take up the matter on public grounds, and, accordingly, he followed the defendant, and asked him for a ticket. The defendant refused, and drove off with his fare. Mr. Knox asked if Captai❑ Garnham was sure that the cabman saw him. Captain Garnham was quite certain that the cab man saw and heard him, for he stood waving his umbrella and shouting at the top of his voice while the cabman was coming towards him, and as ho passed him. Mr. Lewis sAid of late there had been a kind of crusade against cabmen for selecting their fares ; he trusted, however, that punishment would not be in flicted unless there was a clear case of culpability. His reply to the charge was that the defendant did not see the complainant. Police-constable 576 A said he called the defen dant, and the defendant stopped to take up three ladies and a gentleman, The cabman could see the number of persons he was to take as'his fare. The complainant came up and asked for his ticket. The cat man refused, on the ground that the complain ant had not hailed him. Captain Garnham—The words he made use of were that I had not hired him. Mr. Knox said the main question to determine was whether the defendant saw the complainant. He was of opinion that such a calling as described, shouting, holding up an umbrella, and following the cab, could not be overlooked ; therefore, he must consider that the cabman saw him. This was not one of those cases where cabmen passed single persons in order to take a larger fare. The cabman's offence was not so great as in those cases where a heavy punishment had been • inflicted. Instead, therefore of the full penalty of 40s. he should put on the reduced fine of 10s. and costs. Capt. Garnham said he gave the costs to the poor box. EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE.—William Allen, Ben jamin Kinworthy, and Jesse Greenwood, three re spectably dressed young men, who had recently come from America to see the International Exhi bition, were charged with stealing a meerschaum pipe, value 255., the property of Joseph Ullman, importer of cigars, 12, Oxford - street. Mr. Edward Lewis was for the accused. Mr. Ullman said between five and six o'clock yesterday afternoqn, the three prisoners came into his shop, and Greenwood said he wanted a very fine meerschaum pipe. He opened a case and ss 2 showed hi m one f or a sovere i gn, ano ther for and a third for 30s.

Green, of Upper Canada, spoke to the respect ability of the accused. Mr. Knox said persons with £3O or £4O English money in their pockets were not like London pick pockets.

Applimnt stated that the name of the proprietor of the hem' was Porter, and he called himself a city missionary.. He received servants out of place and girls off the .streets, and pretended to get them situa tions. The institution was called " The Servants' Home and Female Reformatory." Mr. Combe directed Chadband, the war:ant offi ‘,..er attached to the court, to proceed at once to this Mr. Porter and request his attendance to explain being in exi s t ence i n th e di s t r i c t. the m .atter, as the court wa s no t aware o f an y re the afternoon sitti ng M r .

She Nv,‘ , as "to be reformed to be a servant." 'She remainec: there a week, when she went to look for a situation ; and then received £1 of her money from Mrs. Porte r. Yesterday she re turned to the home, and demanded her clothes and money. Mr. Porter refused to give her either, and ordered her away, consequently she came to his worship for advice. Mr. Combo to Mr. Porter—What explanation have you to give for detaining this young woman's clothes and money ? Mr. Porter—She was brought into .my home from, Wales by a missionary in December, 1860, and re mained until the following March, when a situation was obtained for her, and she was provided with clothes, for which she gave an I 0 U for £2, which had never been cancelled. Mr. Cembe—Was the I 0 U for money lent, then? Mr. Porter—No, sir; it wag for the clothes lent to her to go to service with.. We, however, never put in force or ask them for it, provided they do well. Applicant—The clothes were given to me, and they have been worn out long ago while in service. I recollect signing a paper some ti .ne or other, but I could not read it. Mr. Porter—We never let the y oung women hive clothes under any other condition, and the I 0 U would never have been put in f o rce if she had. conducted herself properly. She gri:,‘ssly misbe havedby staying out all night. • Mr. Combo, on examining the I 0 U, said there was nothing on the (face of it to show thot it was security for clothes. Every one would thinic it was for money advanced. It would be more straight forward and to the credit of the institution if it were clearly specified on the face or the documents when the girls are asked to sign them. Mr. Combe—Wby don't you give the girl.back her money ? Mr. Porter—l know nothing of the money. Mrs... Porter received that, and she has suddenly been called into the country on business. As for her clothes, thought it better to detain them, to prevent her from returning to prostitution. Mr. Combe—You have no right to detain them, and I must say that it is a disgraceful affair alto gether, and looks very suspicious. If you have any regard to be thought respectable, you had better give this young woman her clothes and money directly. As to detaining them, you are more likely to drive her to prostitution by doing so. Mr. Porter—She must satisfy the I 0 U. Mr. Combo—You have no right to detain her property, and if you wish to recover that, sue her in the County Court, and see how you will get on there. This is a most disgraceful affair, ~and it' it is the system adopted at the so-called Refovmatories or Homes, the sooner they are put an end to the better. Mr. Porter—But she has stolen things from other girls. Mr. Combe—lt is most disgraceful on your part to make charges against the girl because she de mands and insists upon the restoration of her pro perty. If she had, as you say, robbed the other girls, why did you not give her into custody ? I don't believe a word of the accusation. Where is this so-called Home and Reformatory ? Girl—At No. 38, Charlotte-street, Blackfrfars road. Mr. Combe—Well, all I can say is that it is dis graceful conduct on the part of the owners, and the sooner it is shut up the better. I hope the press will expose it as it so justly deserves. Mr. Porter left the court grumbling at his wor ship's remarks, but promising to restore the young woman her clothes and money immediately.
