I'HE CIVIL WAR IN AMERICA. LIVERPOOL, TUNE 4. The Canadian screw steamer Jnra, Capt. Alton, which left Quebec on the 24th ult., and called off Cape Race on the 27th, has arrived. A telegraphic summary of her news has already been published. The screw steamers Kangaroo and Hibernian, both from Liverpool, the former from New York and the latter for Quebec, passed Cape Race on the 25th ultimo. . The New York World of the 22d ultimo, in its "situation of Affairs" says— The army, commanded by Gen. M'Clellan, is now in the vicinity of Richmond. The pickets of the enemy were driven across Bottom-bridge on Tues day by the troops advancing in that direction. The rebels attempted to regain the post by the use of tlTeir artillery, but did not succeed. Our batteries dopcned fire, shelling the woods each side of the bridge. The advance under Gen. Stoneman arrived at the bridge on Tuesday, within eight miles of Richmond, but found no enemy in force this side of the Chickahominy, which at that point becomes a small creek. The country in that locality is fa vourable for military operations. Gen. Stoneman found six pieces of artillery posted upon the oppo site bank, but as his purpose was not to bring on an engagement, he retired one mile from the bridge and encamped during the day. While driving in the rebel outposts he had one man killed and three wounded. The entire army moved early yesterday morning with the view of making a lengthy march. What roads they took is not stated, but the head quarters of Gen. M'Clellan last night were to be within a short distance from Richmond, in front of which city the main body of the rebel army is be lieved to be encamped. Advices from New Orleans, received inWashing ton yesterday, state that the vessels of the fleet have been judiciously distributed—a number under Com mander Lee going up the Mississippi as far as Vicksburgh, for purposes not stated. The docu ments received at the Navy Department show that Capt. Parragut carried out his instructions to the letter, and that he was most efficiently sustained by all under his command. When our forces took possession of Pensacola the mayor promised, on behalf of the citizens, that they would conduct themselves peacefully. The rebels had evacuated the place on learning that our steamers, the day before, were going to Mobile Bay, an.a that the squadron and mortar boats would soon follow. Commodore Porter left Ship Island on the 7th last. With the steamers belonging to the mortar fleet, for the purpose of fixing a place for the mor tar vessels to lie and plant buoys for the ships to run by when they should arrive. Great excitement appeared to exist within the forts at the progress of the fleet. There was cause to believe that the troops stationed at Fort Gaines were leaving to reinforce Fort Morgan. The Clifton got ashore under the guns of the latter fort, and fire was opened upon her without effect. She was soon placed beyond the reach of danger. The weather being bad and the coals much reduced the vessels had left for Ship Island. Intelligence has been received from the Galena andWachussett, forming part of Commodore Golds borough's expedition up the James River, to the effect that the former vessel was fired at on Tues day by the enemy's cavalry. No damage was done, and the rebels were dispersed by a single shell from the steamer. On Monday afternoon a boat went ashore from the Wachussett with a flag of truce containing 6 officers and 12 men. The party were fired upon by some 20 or 30 men, and simulta neously the latter were attacked and taken priso ners. Two of our men were killed and three wounded. The transport steamer Haze, from Newborn, North Carolina, on the 17th inst., arrived at this port yesterday. A Union meeting was held at Shephardsville, Carteret county, on the 10th inst., at which resolutions were adopted, declaring it to be the duty of all Union-loving men to meet and speak their Union sentiments, and also to take mea sures to maintain and defend the constitution of the United States, and inviting the Hon. Edward Stan ley to pay a visit to Shephardsville, &c. The Union men of Bay river have organised a military company for the protection of the laws, liberty, and property of Union men in the neighbourhood, and for the preservation of iaw and order. All loyal residents of Craven county are invited to join. The Newbern Progress states that the State Convention at Raleigh would adjourn yesterday, and that at least two-thirds of its members are Union men. We extract the following later telegrams from the Quebec and Montreal steamer : CAIRO, MAY 22.—The steamer De Soto from the flotilla has arrived, but brings no additional news. The opinion still prevails that Fort Wright is eva cuated. Deserters from the Confederate camp at Corinth, a week ago, report that Beauregard had 130,000 men, 30,000 of them being held as a reserve under Breckenridge. The Confederates are suffering greatly from sickness, an average of about 600 daily being sent from the camp over the Memphis and Char leston Railroad. All the houses along the road were used as hospitals. Beauregard is continually among his men, making speeches to them, urging and making every effort to encourage them. His troops are subsisting on half rations; salt beef of miserable quality is issued once a week. Rifle pits around Corinth command all the approaches to the Mobile and Ohio Railroad, and are 13 miles long. 'The Confederates are making extraordinary efforts to obtain heavy guns, of which they acknowledge to have had a poor supply. A special despatch to the Chicago Tribune of the same date says:— The captain of the steamers plying • between Cairo and the flotilla report that there were over 1,000 refugees between New Madrid, and that the banks of the river are fairly crowded with them, beggi ng to be taken aboard and carried North. The deserters who came aboard the Beaton on Tuesday report that Commodore Farragut's fleet left Vicksburg on the 17th, their destination being Memphis, The Baltimore American of the 23d in its special correspondence says : _ - The headquarters of General M'Clellan's army was in proximity to Bottom Bridge, over which a portion of the army has already passed, the second division having crossed the Chickahominy at New bridge, about seven miles further up, and within eight miles of Richmond. It was rumoured that a proposition for an armistice for 10 days had been made by the Confederates, but of course it could not been entertained. The advance of our army was understood to be within five miles of the c i ty, to which point the enemy has fallen back, with b u t a slight effort to check our onward movement. The advance by the way of Newbridge enters i on the north-west side. The tug, from the James river this morning, brings down two very intelligent citizens from Petersburg, who fled from the city yesterday to avoid the press gang under the Conscription Act. They represent the condition of affairs there and the surrounding country as of a most deplorable cha racter. The sufferings of the people seem almost beyond endurance, and the quantity ofprovisions was so great that everything had been seiz e d f or t h e army, and even the soldiers had been on half ra tions for a week past, with no prospect of even this supply continuing for a great length of time. The Confederate army, or at least a great portion of it, they represent as demoralised and dispirited to such an extent that it is only held together by the most vigorous appliances of military law. Still the work of conscription was progressing, and the roads to Richmond were thronged with unarmed men, old and young, being driven along under strong armed guards. They represent that 11 ° people in modern times have suffered more than the people of Virginia are now suffering. Every house hold is in mourning, with the prospect of an ap proaching famine. They also state that General Beauregard arrived at Richmond on Tuesday. Jeff. Davis and the military authorities had declared their intention to fight to the death before Rich mond, but strong sus picions were entertained that it was really their purpose to aband on the he city t, after a short defence at the works surrounding Large numbers of women and children from Rich.' mond had arrived at Petersburg, who represented the distress prevailing in the city as beyond de scription. Threats were made by the soldiers from the Gulf States that if they had to leave Richmond they would tay it in ashes before doing s), and great years were entertained that their threat would be carried into effect. It would require the greatest efforts on the part of the citizens to prevent such a catastrophe. The number of troops at Richmond and in the vicinity was generally believed to be fully 200,000, including the unarmed and poorly armed of the recent levies, who were having pikes put into their hands for active service. The New Fork Times' special correspondent at Washington telegraphs on the 22d :—" The War Department has called for no definite number of troops, but has reopened the recruiting stations lately closed by order. Nine now regiments will be raised for special service. Beyond this no for mal call has been made on States for volunteers. The main object is to obtain a reserve to fill up existing regiments. The radicals exaggerate this matter." In the United States Senate, on the 21st, a joint resolution giving the thanks of Congress to Flag officer Farragut and the officers and men under his command was adopted. The military committee were instructed to inquire into the expediency of granting bounty lands to soldiers enlisted for three months and one year, also for pensions for widows of soldiers who die in the service. The Tax Bill was then taken up and a few amendments made, and the Senate went into executive session. In the House of Representatives the Confiscation Bill was under consideration until the adjourn ment. Mr. John Drew, the celebrated Irish comedian, died suddenly at Philadelphia on the 21st ultimo. He had just completed a successful engagement of 100 nights, and was about starting for a second tour to Europe. Mr. Drew was much respected in Philadelphia. The New York Times says it was understood that the Great Eastern would be open to public inspec tion during the following week. Some fears were expressed lest the vessel should fail to obtain a suffi ciently large passenger list to authorise a repetition of its American trip. " That apprehension," says the Times, "we understand, is groundless. Not only has there been a lively demand for passage, but so great is the current just now setting towards Europe, and to so large an extent have the accom modations of other vessels been secured in advance, that the Great Eastern's room is likely to be entirely occupied." The New York bar had decided that there was no cause for revoking Mr. Edwin James's license as a member. A Washington telegram says— While the 76th New York Regiment was passing through Washington on the 22d a number of civil officers, provided with judicial papers, seized two negroes from the ranks, and soon placed them beyond the reach of rescue. An effort was made to arrest six or eight other fugitives, when the soldiers pointed their muskets at the police, warning them of the danger of persisting. The negroes were departing under the protection of their military friends. There was great excite ment fora short time. It would be investigated. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. (Via Father Point.)

The Halifax Sun says ;—" During the last week several men from Canada who have lately returned from British Columbia, have arrived in this province for the purpose of trying the Nova Scotian gold fields." WHY THERE IS NO UNION SENTIMENT IN THE SOUTHERA STATES: At a meeting held at New York on the 15th the Rev. Mr. Browniow, a well-known methodist minister of Tennessee, described his experience in his own state. He said, in the town of Greenville, where:Andrew Johnson resides, they took out of the gaol, at one time, two innocent Union men, who had committed no offence on the face of the earth, but that of being Union men —Nashy and Fry. Fry was a poor shoemaker, with a wife and half a dozen children. A fellow, by the name of Daniel Land beater, the vilest wretch that ever made a track in East Tennessee, Colonel Daniel Landbeater, late of the United States army, but now a rebel in the secession army, took these two men, tied them with with his own hands upon one limb, imme diately over the railroad track in the town of Greenville, and orderel them to hang four days and nights, and directed all the engineers and conductors to go by that hanging concern slow, in a kind of a snail gallop, up and down the road, to give the passengers an opportunity to kick the rigid bodies and strike them with a rattan. And they did it. I pledge you my honour that on the front platform they made a business of kick ing the dead bodies as they passed by ; and the women (I will not say the ladies, for down South we make a distinction between ladies and women) —the women, the wives, and daughters of men in high position waved their white handkerchiefs in triumph through the windows of the car at the sight of the two dead bodies hanging there. Lead beater, for his murderous courage, was promoted by Jefferson Davis to the office of brigadier-general. He had an encounter, as their own papers at Rich mond state, at Bridgeport, not long ago, with a part of General Mitchel's army, when Leadbeater got a glorious whipping. His own party turned round and chastised him for cowardice. He had courage to hang innocent unarmed men taken out of a gaol, but he had not courage to face the Yan kees and the Northern men that were under Mitchel and Buell. He took to his heels like a coward as he is. In the county of Knox, where I reside, and only seven miles west of the town of Knoxville, they caught up Union men, tied them upon logs, elevated the logs upon blocks six or ten inches from the ground, put the men upon their breasts, tying their hands and feet under the logs, stripped their backs entirely bare, and then with switches cut their backs literally to pieces, the blood running down at every stroke. They came into court when it was i n. sess i on, an d w h en the case was s t a t e d the judge replied, " These are revolutionary times, and there i s no remedy for anything of the kind." In the fictoi where I lay they were accustomed to drive up 'with a cart, with an ugly, rough, flat-topped Coffin s p a n men, with bristling it, surrounded fifteen bayonets, as a guar d tot o f march orty in through t h e gate into the gaol yard, with steady military tre ad. ecl We us trembled in i t n o our be boots, for they never not ed hanged, and you may imagine how your hunable that claim gaol, ender m to have servant felt; for if any m an i n their law, deserved the gallow s , been the man. I knew it, and th ey kne w it. Th e y came sometimes with two coffins, on e on each cart, and they took two men at a time and marched ' ' them out. A poor old man of sixty-five, and his son of twenty•five, were marched out at one tim e , and hanged on the same gallows. They made that poor old man, who was a methodist class leader, s it by and see his son sinking till he was dead, and then they called hi m a Lincoln Uni on shrieker, and said, "Come on; it is your turn next." He sunk, but they propped him up and led him to the halter, and swung both off on the same gallows. They came, after that, for another man, and they took J. C. Haum out of gaol.:--a young man of fine sense, good address, and of excellent character—a tall, spare made man, having a wife at home, with four or five helpless children. My wife passed the they drove farm of Haum's the other day, when her out of Tennessee and sent her on to New Jersey —I thank them kindly for doing so—and saw his wife ploughing, endeavouring to raise corn for her suffering and starving children. That is the spirit 31' secession, gentlemen. And yet you have a set of God forsaken, unprincipled men at the North who are apologising for them and sympathising with them. (Applause.) When they took Haum out and placed him on the scaffold they had a drunken chaplain. They were kind enough to notify him an hour before the hanging that he was to hang. Haum at once made an application for a Methodist preacher, a Union man, to come an d pray for him. They denied him the privilege, and said that God didn't hear any prayers on behalf of any --- Union shrieker, and he had literally to do without the benefit of the clergy. But they had near the gallows an unprincipled, drunken chaplain of their own army, who got up and undertook to apologise for Haum. He said s— " This poor, unfortunate man, Who is about to pay the debt of nature, regrets the course he took. He said he was misled by the Union paper." Haum rose up, and with a clear, stentorian voice, said— "Fellow-citizens,—There is not a word of truth in that statement. I have authorised nobody to make such a statement. What I have said and done I have done and said with my eyes open, and if it were to be done over, I would do it again. I am ready to hang, and you can execute your purposes." He died like a man ; he died like a Union man ; like an East Tennesseean ought to die. As God is my judge, I would sooner be Haum in the grave to-day, than any one of the scoundrels concerned in his murder. (Great applause.) Time rolled on ; one event after another occurred; and finally a man of excellent character, one of Andy Johnson's con stituents from Greene county, by the name of Hess ing Self, was condemned to be hung by this drum head court martial, and they were kind enough to let him know that he was to hang a few hours before the hour appointed. His daughter, who had come down to administer to his comfort and consolation—a most estimable girl, about 21 years of age—Elizabeth Self, a tall, spare made girl, modest, handsomely attired, begged leave to enter the gaol to see her father. They permitted her, contrary to their usual custom and their savage barbarity, to go in. They had him in a small iron cage, a terrible affair; they opened a little door and the gaoler admitted her. A parcel of us went to witness the scene. As she entered the cage where her father was—who was to die at four o'clock that afternoon—she clasped him around the neck, and he embraced her also, throwing his arms across her shoulders. They sobbed and cried, they shed their tears and made their moans. I stood by, and I never beheld such a sight since God Almighty made me, and hope I may never see the like again. When they had parted, wringing each other by the hand, as she came out of the cage, stammering and trying to utter something intelligible, she lisped my name. She knew my face, and I could understand as much as that she desired me to write a despatch to Jeff. Davis and sign her name, begging him to pardon her father. I worded it about thus : " Hon. Jefferson Davis (I did not believe the first word I wrote was the truth, but I put it there for the sake of form)—My father, Hessing Self, is sen tenced to be hanged at 4 o'clock to-day. I am living at home, and my mother is dead. My father is my earthly all ; upon him my hopes are centred ; and, friend, I pray you to pardon him.—Respectfully, " ELIZABETH SELF. Jeff. Davis, who had a better heart than the rest of them, perhaps, immediately responded—for he could not withstand the appeals of a woman—to General Carroll, and told him not to hang that man Self, but to keep him in gaol and let him atone for his crimes a certain time. Self has served his time out and has gone home, and that girl is saved the mortification of being left alone without a father. This, ladies and gentlemen, is the spirit of seces sion all over the South ; it is the spirit tha t actu ates them everywhere ; it is the spirit of murder, it is the spirit of the infernal regions, and in God's name can you any longer excuse or apologise for such murderous and bloodthirsty demons as live down in the Southern Confederacy. (Loud cries of No, no.) Hanging is going on all over East Tennessee. They shoot them down in the field, they whip them; and, as strange as it may seem to you, in the counties of Campbell and Anderson they actually lacerate with switches the bodies of females, wives and daughters of Union men—clever respectable women. They show no quarters to male or female; they rob their houses and they throw them into prison. Our gaols are all full now, and we have complained and fought hard that our Government has not come to our relief, for a more loyal, a more devoted people to the stars and stripes never lived on the face of God's earth than the Union people of Tennessee. (Loud cheers.) With tears in their eyes they . begged me, upen leaving East Tennessee, for G o d Almighty's sake to see the President, to see the army officers, so as to have relief sent to them and bring them out of gaol. I hope, gentlemen, you will use your influence with the army and navy, and all concerned, to relieve these people, They are the most abused, down-trodden, persecuted, and proscribed people that ever lived on the face of the earth. I am happy to announce to you that the rebellion will soon be played out. Thank God for his mercies, it will soon have been played out. (Cheers.) THE INDIAN TARIFF AND THE LANCA- SHIRE DISTRESS. Yesterday morning a deputation from the opera tives of Preston, appointed at a public meeting held there on the 28th ult., had an interview with Sir Charles Wood, Secretary of State for India, at the India Board. The deputation, which consisted of Mr. Thomas Bankes, secretary to the Spinners' In stitution, Mr. Meagher, and Mr. J. Baxter Langley, was accompanied by Sir Thomas Hesketh, M.P., and Mr. C. P. Greenfell, M.P., the members for Preston, and also by Mr. James Pilkington, M.P., member for Blackburn, who represented the opera tives of that district, and who bore a memorial from them upon the same subject as that delivered by Sir T. Hesketh from the operatives of Preston. Sir T. Hesketh explained the object of the depu tation, which was to induce the Government to re consider the last statement of finance as expounded in the budget of Mr. _Laing, and to induce the Go vernment to repeal the taxes upon British goods and yarns imported into British India. The memorial alleged that the tariff in British manufactures imported into India was irreconcile able with the principles of free trade, and not only injurious bat cruel to the English operatives at home. It urged that it was unjust that the Govern ment should spend upon public works and education in India sums which were at present a great burden upon the distressed operatives at home. Mr. MEAGHER stated that the tariff, as at present imposed, amounted to a tax upon each loom working which ou ld for the India n mar k et in Preston equal to L 7 lOs per year, and as th ere were 27,143 looms in Preston, market,four-fifths th oaf w amountto z producedgoV62,sfoooro a theyelanrd.ian Several members of the deputation having spoken, Sir C. WoOD, in reply, referred in the first in stance to the general questions of taxation and re venue in India, and said the Government felt the deepest sympathy for the operatives in Lancashire, while he assured the deputation that the whole British Parliament regarded with admiration the patience with which they endured the distress through which they were passing. At the same time he felt it his duty to explain that the distress could not be attributed to the pressure of the Indian tariff, bat it ought rather to be placed to the account of circumstances in America over which the English Government could have no possible control. He regretted to say that there was no prospect of any amelioration of those circumstances, nor any hope of a cotton supply from America for some consider able time to come.. Sir Charles went on to say, that it was necessary to explain the very peculiar position in which the Indian Government stood. Considerable pressure had been brought to bear upon hi m by the manufacturers and cotton mer chants of this country in favour of public works in India, which would open up the rivers and roads of that country, and enable the growers to supply this country with a large quantity of raw material lle expressed himself somewhat surprised that any complaint should be raised upon that score. With IHE SUN, LONDON, '.:THURSDAY Evi:TENIL4G, JUNE regard to the £700,0000 voted for the culture of opium, it was necessary to state that a large pro- I portion of the revenue of India was now derived from that source, and that the Government could not be expected to sacrifice £7,000,000 per annum at the present time. Indeed, he did not what would bacome of the financial resources of India if it were not for the opium trade. The English taxpayer was not oppressed by the profit obtained from the opium trade, for the Chinese really paid the amount which was carried to the credit of the Indian ex chequer from the cultivation of opium. He thought it remarkable that while all this complaint arose from the manufacturing districts :against the pres sure of the Indian tariff an increase in the imports of British manufactures had actually taken place during the last few months. This did not show that the tariff was a hardship upon the English pro ducer. He could not admit that the taxes in these cases were paid by the producers—they were in variably paid by the consumers ; nor could he admit that the tax upon British goods and yarns was paid at the cost of the operatives or the masters in Preston. It was true that an increase of price limited the market, but this was the entire amount of the hardship asagaiast the producer. The Eng lish Government imposed a tax of 50 per cent.upon Indian sugar,and 100 per cent. upon Indian pepper, and it would be a 3 reasonable for the Indian pro ducers of those articles to demand the repeal of those duties as it was for the English producers of cotton goods to asl for the abolition of the Indian tariff. It was necessary to have a large military force in India. The present Covernment had done much to reduce the expenditure on that force, but he believed they had now arrived at the full limit of reduction. The native population were very im patient of anything like direct taxation, and direct taxation was almost impracticable among all classes of the people of India. In one of the largest of the Indian cities, in which resided some of the most in fluential merchants, it was found when the various occupiers of one street were called upon to make returns of their profits in trade, that their whole revenue was stated at a less than £lOO per annum. It was therefore impossible to get at what was called the trading revenue of the natives ; and direct taxation, however desirable it might seem to some, was impossible in India. There were plau sible arguments sgaidst the tax on salt, which in theory was an extreme hardship, but in practice the tax was found to be a very good mode of pro curing revenue, as was shown by the fact that in proportion as thit tax had been increased the con sumption of the article had been increased also. This circumstame, he said, was in a great measure to be accounted or by the general rise that had taken place in tLe wages in India, which also ex plained the incriase of the opium grant. There was, however, on 3 point of extreme importance in considering the reduction asked for, and that was that upon the examination of the estimates of Mr. Laing, it turnei out that a mistake of £1,000,000 had been made, and that, instead of a supposed surplus, there would in reality be a deficit. Sir Charles coneludad by expressing regret that at present he could hold out no hope of any further reduction of these duties, or any early abolition of that which at present remained a portion of the tariff. After a few words of explanation from Mr. LANGLEY and Mr. BANKS the deputation withdrew. THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION. Yesterday was a day of agreeable disappointments at the Exhibition. The counter attractions of the great sporting festival were expected to thin the crowd at South Kensington, and hundreds of families seized upon what they thought would prove a quiet day for going over the great indus trial collection. When fifty thousand people come to the same determination in fifty thousand different places the result may be easily anticipated, and her Majesty's Commissioners had yesterday to wel come one cf the greatest crowds that has yet poured into the building. We reject the half estimated numbers of the opening day as fabulous and unreliable, but the figures of yesterday, not withstanding a few defects in the turnstiles, are solid and unmistakeable. As it is matter of public interest to know how these numbers were distri buted over the day, we give the official returns up to 5 o'clock. ELEVEN O'CLOCK RETURN. Season tickets .. 331 By payment 7,99 t 8,325 ONE O'CLOCK RETURN. Season tickets 1,341 By payment .. 27,204 -28,545 THREE O'CLOCK RETURN. Season tickets 2,512 By payment 38,703 -41,215 I'm O'CLOCK RETURN. Season tickets .. 4,244 By payment .. .. 44,985 --- 49,229 By this it will be seen that 20,000 people entered in two hours. These numbers—increased by a later return—are the greatest we have yet had to record in connec tion with the Exhibition, and they seem to have astonished no one more than the managers of the two refreshment departments. It says much for the resources of these gentlemen that they were able to cope on the whole so satisfactorily with an influx that was evidently unexpected on a fine Derby day, and to make as much as they did of the cramped and crowded space. No waiter can do his work well unless he has plenty of room, and half the complaints —many of them unfounded — w hi c h h av e been made about attendance in the English and French dining rooms would never have been heard of if those rooms had been twice their present width. The visitors appeared gene rally to belong to a very respectable class, and the fact that they were new to the place was proved to some extent by the large sale of catalogues, Dr. Chipp performed a selection of music at 4 o'clock on Messrs. Forster and Andrews' organ, which drew a large crowd to the neighbourhood of the north-eastern annex. This performance will be repeated on Saturday. We cannot honestly say that we admire the decorations of this organ, fault less as they may seem to persons of mediaeval taste. The pipes lock very much like rows of Roman candles in a firework-maker's window. The visitors, as usual on the shilling days, were pretty equally dispersed about the building—the machinery Lennes being filled to overflowing. The large proportion of children of all ages present on these shilling days is a noticeable and gratifying feature. Judging from the jammed appearance of the building at 3 o'clock yesterday, and the diffi culty of moving along many of the chief avenues, when at least 40,000 persons were present, crinoline has asserted its power, and it will be no easy matter to pack away tLe large numbers who will doubtless present themselves on such days as Whit-Monday. The crinoline of the middle and lower classes is not quite so expansive and dome-like as the dresses of the aristocracy, but it is sufficiently broad and un yielding to inpede the circulation of masses. The hardware courts, from some cause, are still comparativels deserted, much to the loss of the visitors. The display here is valuable andinterest ing, the passages are wide, and the courts lie near the eastern entrances. Amongst the distinguished visitors yesterday were the tsso young royal princes—Arthur and Leopold—who, under the guidance of the Duke of Buckingham and Captain Fowke, spent several instructive lours in the Exhibition. Lord Elcho, the Duke of Cleveland, the Duchess tie Nemours, the ex-Queen of France, and Lord and Lady Shaftes bury and family, were also visitors during the day. The numbers admitted on Tuesday show an in crease over the numbers on the corresponding day in 1851 of about three thousand. The door pay ments on the second shilling day in 1862 were about four thousand more than in 1851. The third shil ling day in 1851—corresponding with yesterday— showed aemission by season tickets estimated at 5,000, and by p a y men t 37,384 —total 42,384. This, it will be s e en, i s un d er th e total of yesterday. The Derby Day in 1851 (May 21) was a five shilling day at the old E x hibiti on , an d the receipts amounted to £3,512. Ihe season ticket admissions were 14,500, and the payments 14,049. The btal number of visitors yesterday was as follows :—Season tickets, 4,899 ; by payment, 45,686; total, 50,585. 5, 1862.

Punctually at the time set down Mr. Manning got through the preliminary weighing, and shortly after the names of the 34 riders were exhibited on the telegraph, and the horses were seen leaving the paddock to take their can ters, which having performed they joined the starter at the post, but in consequence of the fractiousness of several of the animals some time was lost before the flag was lowered. At last Mr. M'George got them together, and immediately lowered his flag. Argonaut, next the rails, was the first off; and made the running, followed by The Marquis, Not tingham, Spite, and Norroy, the next lot being headed by the Stockwell colt, Neptunus, Vanguard, Buckstone, and Caractacus, the rear division being brought up by Ellan gowan, Ensign, and Maharajah, who were left at the post, Ensign having his head turned when the flag was lowered. On their fairly entering the old course the favourite went to the front, and came on with a clear lead, waited upon by Argonaut, Neptunus, Nottingham, Spite, Buckstone, Ca ractacus, Zetland, the Stockwell colt, and St. Alexis, who ran in a cluster at his heels, the roar division at this early period of the race beginning to present a lengthened ap pearance. Descending the hill the Marquis slightly in creased his lead, and as he rounded the turn into the straight ho appeared a clear length in advance of Argonaut, Nottingham going on third, with Caractacus, Buckstone, and Neptunus lying in close attendance. Crossing the road Argonaut was in difficulties, and shortly after gave way, beaten. Caractacus at the same time, in company with Nottingham, Buckstone, and Mr. Jackson's colt, joined the Marquis, the quartet running nearly in a line to the dis tance, where Nottingham and Neptunus were disposed of, leaving the race with the three, Caractacus having a slight advantage of the Marquis, Buckstone being two lengths in their rear. At the stand Ashmall made his effort to get up, but failed, and was beaten, after a fine race, by a neck, a length and a half separating the second and third. Neptunus was fourth, The Knave fifth, and Zetland sixth, Lord Burleigh, the Clarissa colt, Malek, Nottingham, and Brighton being the next lot, close together. The others, who were widely spread, were pulling up as they passed the stand, the last lot being Tolurno, Gemse, Ellangowan, Exchequer, Ace of Clubs, the Typee colt, and Maharajah. Spite, who broke down badly coming down the hill when lying in a good place, was led in some time after, J. Goater being compelled to dismount to prevent his falling. Run in 2 min. 451 sec.

The papers give the following account of the din ner given to the Emperor and Empress by Said Pasha in his apartments at the Tuileries : " The Emperor, the Empress, the Viceroy, and his nephew, Martapha Pasha, were seated round a table, or rather large silver salver, richly chased and enamelled, on which covers of massive gold were placed forfour persons. At some metres distant a table of 25 covers was laid out for the ladies and officers of the household. The latter table was served in the French style, but the dishes were prepared in the Egyptian mode, and among them were two lambs roasted whole. Tho animals were purchased alive by the Viceroy's servants, and killed and cooked by them d l'Egyptienne. The two tables wore placed in the room which contains the rich and curious collection of historical armour, purchased some time since by the Emperor, and intended by him to orna ment the armoury in the ancient Chateau of Pierrefonds. At the moment when the Emperor and Empress entered the room they were presented with rich basins, and, in con formity with Egyptian custom, their Majesties allowed per fumed water to be poured on their hands. ,IVhen the guests took their seats at table, the Viceroy's servant placed on the lap of each a napkin of extraordinary rich ness, the corners of them being embroidered with dia monds and fine pearls, to the extent of about six inches. Only one dish was served at a time, each person helping himself, and then at a given signal, the dish disappeared, and was replaced by another, and this continued in succes sion until the time for the dessert. The servants then removed the silver salver from before the Viceroy and their Majesties, and replaced it by one of gold, on which were arranged four dessert covers, the plates, knives, and forks being of gold enriched with diamonds, as were also the dishes, filled with the most magnificent fruit. After dinner the whole party retired to another room,where coffee was served in the Oriental style, in very small porce lain cups, standing on a foot, and having much the form of an egg cup, the whole of them enriched with diamonds. Long chibouks, ornamented with precious stones, were afterwards offered to the guests. The Prince Imperial, who had been present at the dinner, but without partaking of it, gravely accepted one of them, and, putting the end of the tube in his mouth, assumed the position of the other smokers, sitting like them cross-legged. The band of the Viceroy, which had come from Toulon for the purpose, played a number of their national airs during the dinner, and it was remarked that many of them were grounded on the old marches of the French regiments wh o Egypt under the First Napoleon. The water placed the table during the dinner had boon brought from entered on from the Nile." LAW INTELLIGENCE.—June 4. (Sittings in Banco, before the Lord Chief Baron and Mr. Baron Bramwell.) STUBS AND ANOTHER V. STUBS—CURIOUS CASE. This was an action in detenue to recover a grant or patent of arms, which came on for trial at Guild hall, when a verdict was taken for the plaintiffs by consent, subject to the opinion of this Court. The case stated that Joseph Stubs, of Warring ton Lancashire, having by his own industry amassed a considerable fortune, and been placed in the commission of the peace, was desirous to possess the right to wear armorial bearings, and obtained a grant for that purpose from the College of Heralds, paying fees to the amount of 176 10s., in addition to £3 3s. the charge for the Heralds' painters. He had no lineal descendants, and the grant extended the right to wear the arms to the two sons of his deceased brother, Peter and John , Stubs, who were the present plaintiffs. On the 20th July, 1860, Joseph Stubs made a will, in which he left absolutely to his wife, the defendant in this action, all his household goods, books, pictures, plate, Ste. ; and shortly afterwards died, Under this bequest the widow claimed the grant of the College of Heralds ; and it was agreed that if the Court thought she was entitled to possession of the docu. ment the verdict should be entered for the defen dant. Mr. Brett, on the part of the plaintiffs, contended that the patent belonged to the sons of the testator's brother, in whose favour it was granted. Mr. Baron Bramwell—lt does not appear that they ever consented to wear the arms. Can the Earl Marshal inflict arms on a man without his con sent ? (Laughter.) Ought we not to see whether the article is a picture ? Mr. Grove, who appeared for the defendant, said it was contained in a very handsome box. (The grant was subsequently handed up to their lordships. It was a large sheet of vellum engrossed and surrounded by a coloured border, containing the Stubs arms.) The Lord Chief Baron—The wife can bear the arms during her widowhood. Mr. Brett thought she could not. The Lord Chief Baron—Yes ; and when she dies the arms of her husband are put on her achieve ment. Mr. Brett submitted that the wife had no legal right to the arms of her husband. The Lord Chief Baron—Unquestionably she has, and she may say " I will keep the grant, in order that I may justify my use of them." Mr. Brett—Supposing the testator had a son, would he not as his heir be entitled to the grant, the right to bear the arms having descended upon him ? The Lord Chief Baron—The right to bear arms belongs to all the children of a family equally, but with certain heraldic distinctions. Instantly old Stubs got the grant his lineal descendants were en titled to wear the arms. Mr. Brett said there might be a disposition on the part of his learned friend to treat the case with ridicule, but he thought the elder Stubs was rather entitled to credit for the course he had adopted. Being desirous to found a family, instead of doing what some people did, put arms on their plate and carriages without having paid the necessary fees, he went and got a grant from the College of Arms. The Lord Chief Baron said it was a pity there should be a family quarrel about nothing. This grant was literally of no value whatever, having been enrolled in the College of Arms, and that en rolment was as good for proving the title to the armorial bearings as the patent itself. Mr. Brett referred to some old authorities to show that the horn being outside a castle gate, showing the tenure by which the estate was held, passed to the heir, and that no action for trespass brought by an heir would lie against a person for having disturbed and appropriated the armour or banner which had been placed in the church in honour of his ancestor. He, therefore, contended that this grant, being an honour conferred upon the testator, his lineal descendant was entitled to its possession. Mr. Grove, on the other side, said that the real object of the Heralds' College was to keep records of this description, and that the document claimed by the plaintiffs was really nothing more than a copy of the grant, which remained in the college. The Lord Chief Baron, upon looking at the docu ment, said he was not quite certain that it was not the original grant. Mr. Grove said it was open to both the nephews to get copies for themselves. The Lord Chief Baron was of opinion that judg ment should be entered for the defendant. She had a right to keep the grant to justify , herself in using the arms of her husband, and nobody could take it from her. It was not a sort of instrument which any one could specifically claim, like a patent for a peerage, but it might be that the plaintiffs could file a bill in Chancery to prevent the widow defac ing or getting rid of the document. Mr. Baron Bramwell being of the same opinion, Judgment was entered for the defendant. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. (Before Sir C. Cresswell and Justices Williams and Willes.) ROWLEY V. ROWLEY. This was an appeal from the judgment of the Judge Ordinary. The case has been frequently be fore the Court, and our readers will recollect that the petitioner, Mrs. Rowley, instituted a suit for a divorce from her husband, and the case was to have been heard before a jury. However, when the proceedings were about to commence, a propo sition was made for an arrangement, to which, by the advice of her counsel, the petitioner consented, and the suit was dropped. Subsequently, the peti tioner applied to the Court to have the case heard, alleging that she gave her consent to the arrange ment through ignorance of legal terms, and while she was labouring under bodily disease. The Judge Ordinary refused the motion, and she no w appealed to the full Court to reverse this decision. Mrs. Rowley appeared in person and pleaded her own case. Dr. Phillimore, in compliance with the wish of the Court, entered into an explanation of the cir cumstances connected with the discontinuance of the suit. He said that he and the present Attorney- General were counsel for Mrs. Rowley, and they considered it was a case in which a compromise might be properly effected between the litigants. The Attorney-General had commenced his address to the jury, when a paper was handed to him (Dr. Phillimore) by Mrs. Rowley's solicitor, to the effect that the lady was willing to enter into the compro mise, and as the case was urgent, counsel thought it desirable to accede to the terms offered by the other side. Mr. Justice Wightman considerd that there was no ground for the application, and if it was sanc tioned, there would be no security for any compro mise that might be effected between parties in future. Mr. Justice Willes concurred in the opinion of his learned brother, and cited some authorities in support of his view as to the law relating to com promises, which he said fully applied to the present case. The appeal was accordingly dismissed. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—,Tune 4. CLERKENWELL.—CONTICTION OF A WHOLE SALE MANUFACTURER OF COUNTERFEIT SOVE REIGNS—EXTENSIVE SEIZURE.---John Bryan alias John Burns alias the Artful Card, who described himself as an ivory turner, and who gave a false address, was charged before Mr. Barker with hav ing in his possession several counterfeit sovereigns, and two crown pieces, one half-crown, 32 florins, and 14 shillings—all counterfeit—at St. Andrews, Holborn, with intent feloniously to circulate the same. Mr. Bellamy, from the office of the solicitor to the Mint, attended to prosecute. This prisoner has for years been under the surveillance of Mr. Brannan (late an inspector of the police, but now appointed as Mint agent), he being known as one of the largest manu facturers of counterfeit sovereigns and other coins in and around the metropolis. So well were his schemes laid and his plans carried out that he had earned for himself the soubriquet of The Artful Card. When he has been stopped and searched, or when his residence has been ransacked, nothing has been found on him which would warrant the otfi_ce r r . in taking him into custody. On this o c c asion M Allen, Brannan, accompanied by Inspectors F i fe , and Brannan, and Sergeant Elliott, the thea e l v l en o i r ng, an G d division, went to Leather-lane prisoner was seen to come from t e . _ _ after carefully watching some Ofhhtheneenigtrhabnocuersh, o t e h d e win's-gardens.

Mr. Brannan proceeding counterfeit eei n were c n and the officers theand on u prisoner ground they entered the hous w e, once seized,and gs.aThe prison er was at struggle was searched, when a after hastily a I eavin counterfeit sovereign wasfound on him. The pri ,, Well, Brannan, that is all I have got, soner said, you have desp erate . no t got me to rights this time." Mr. Branna n rep lied, i " I think we ha ve , b ut we sha ll see who is right." A further search was made, and i n the prisoner's pocket, am ongst a quant i ty o f good coin, was found a packet containing 14 coun terfeit shillings, all of them being wrapped sepa rately in pieces of tissue paper to prevent them from scratching, and behind the skittle-ground door was found a bag containing counterfeit sove reigns and other base coin. On the way to the, police-station the officers were surrounded and a. desperate effort was made to rescue the prisoner. The Prisoner said he did not at present wish to ask the officers any questions, as he should reserve his defence for a higher tribunal than a police court. Mr. Brannan said the prisoner had been the cause of getting more persons taken into custody and convicted of uttering counterfeit coin than any half dozen of men of the same class as the prisoner whom he knew. He was a very bad and desperate fellow. Mr. Barker fully committed the prisoner to No" gate for trial. A GAME OF CARDS. He was evidently determined not to lose sight of his trumps, and carried them off on his person into the church. I ran round to the front entrance, and was just in time to witness the commencement of the service. It is a wonder judgment did not Pal on the chief priest. And it did in a way. At ono part of the service, just as he was stepping on the platform, be put his hand inside his robe to pull out his handkerchief, and, as he drew it out, the cards came also unbidden and fell scattered over the altar floor. This would have paralysed any ordinary man, but that priest never winced for a moment. He looked coolly at the cards, then steadily at the people, as much as to say, " You all see that ; take notice of it. I shall tell you about that by-and by." He then continued the services. At the close he pointed to the cards—then beck oned a little peasant boy, with a shock head of white flaxen hair, dressed in a shirt of coarse linen and trousers to match, not very clean, who had been crossing and bending beside a poor peasant woman, his mother : " Come here, boy !" The boy went. Turning to the congregation, ho said : " I shall give you a lesson you will not forget for some time. You see these cards lying on the floor. Do you think put them there for nothing ? We shall see ! What is your name, my boy ? " "Peter Petrovitch." " Well, Peter Petrovitch, go and pick up one of those cards you see on the floor, and bring it to me. There, that will do. Now tell me, Peter Petro vitch, what card is this ? " " The ace of spades !" said the boy, with ready knowledge. " Very good, Peter Petrovitch ; bring me another, that's a good boy. What card is that?" " The queen of spades," said Peter. " How well you hnow them. Peter Petrovitch ; bring another. And what may that one be ?" " The ten of hearts." " That will do, Peter, the son of Peter. Now turn. round and look at this picture. Can you toll me what saint it represents ?" The boy scratched his head, then shrugged his little shoulders, lifting them to his ears, then scratched his head again, and said :—" Ya naes nigh." (I don't know.) " Now look at this one. Who is this ?" The same answer. " And this ?" " I cannot tell." " That will do, Peter, the son of Peter. You may go to your mother." Turning to the people, he continued : " Do you know now for what purpose I put these oards on the floor ? Do you not think shame of yourselves, tell me—say, is it not disgraceful and scandalous that that nice white-haired boy can tell me in a moment the name of every card in the pack, and yet ho does not know the name of one of the blessed saints ? Oh, shame, shame on ye, so to bring up the young, after all the good teaching I have given ye ! Go away and learn the blessed lesson I have given you this blessed day. Don't forget it, and don't force me to bring cards into this holy place again. Vassillia, pick the other cards up, and keep them for me." So with solemn steps he left the church to play out his interrupted game for a hundred roubles.—Dickens's " All the Year Round." COUNTRY MA ItELI 6*. .._ ~. SALISBURY—JUNE 3.
