The police state that the substance the rioters set on fire in the lower room was tar, and that they _had great difficulty in suppressing , the flames. Th e y were v i o l e ntly assaulted with stores while thus engaged, and if they had not succeeded and the flames had spread, those who had taken refuge upstairs mast have perished." Advices from Nassau state that the British steamer Herald was fired upon and chased into that port by the Federal f ri g a t e A d i rondac , and the mail steamer British Queen was hoarded by the Federal steamer Santiago da Cube, 25 miles north of the Elbow of Abaco. The Nassau Guardian of the 26th says : " One of the most glaring outrages we have ever had occasion to record took place within sight of our citizens yesterday morning. At daybreak two steamers were observed from the shore, one giving chase to and firing at the other. The vessels turn out to be the Federal man - of -war Adirondac, 14, Commander Gansevoort, and the EL47. lish steamer Herald, Capt. Coxetter. We have been favoured with the particulars by an eyewitness on board the latter vessel. The Herald was steering for Nassau at half -speed, the lightnouse being in sight, and shortly afterwards saw a vessel about 2: 1 ; miles ahead. At half-past 5 o'clock she was about four points off the starboard b ow , an d a mile dis tant. She then changed her cou rse an d stood for the Herald, as if to cross her bows. Wh en within 200 or 300 yards of her she rounded up a l ongs i de. The former then hoisted the British flag, and 'the vate so arrested and delivered. " By order of the President, " EDWIN M. STANTON, Secretary of War." The I?ichmond Examiner of the 28th gives the following account of the cutting out and burning of a Federal transport on the James River " On Saturday morning a party of five of the Prince George Cavalry, Capt. Marks, consisting of Corporal Teller Cooke and Privates Thomas Martin, William Daniel, Alexander Dimitry, and William Williams, conceived and carried out successfully a private little enterprise of their own, which resulted in the burning of a large Federal transport, the capture of its commander, and the consternation and surprise of the Yankee fleet in the immediate neighbourhood. The party left Coggin's Point, on the south side of James River, five miles below City Point, about 1 o'clock on Saturday morning, in an open boat, armed with naked sabres and their re volvers. The Federal fleet of transports and gun boats lay around them. One gunboat was at anchor about 100 yards above them, and another half a mile immediately below, while several others, invisible at the time, were in various positions. The transports lay scattered along the channel, some not 20 yards apart. After getting among them the party made a reconnaisance to discover the largest, 200 o d tfiennasllbyusredleenct, .w ed heh proved to be the Louisa a i splendid looking scho oner of Rives, of New Y or k, loaded with corn, oats, and other articles of f orage , and commanded by Capt. John A. Jones. A s th e board 0 commenced oars s n vigorously a quietly, a proached her, a dog on furiously a and, , ; r e t a h c e h y i ng plied theirthe bow chains, boarded the schooner without faltering. The crew were sleeping soundly, but the captain, awakened by the dog, rushed on deck from martin the cabin, and was met at the very door by (himself a sailor), who seized him by th e collar, and placing a pistol at his head, cau latter fired a shotted gun across her stern. The Herald kept on her course, still at half-speed, when the other fired a shot across her bows, slightly grazing her, and afterwards showed the American flag. On this Capt. Coxetter ordered all steam to be put on his vessel, when the American sheered off between 300 and 400 yards, and fired a broadside, which was ineffective. From this time she kept up a continuous fire, throwing shell, solid, chain, and grape shot, giving chase, and not desisting till the Herald was within two miles or less of the light house. The flag was shot down, but immediately replaced. The deck was splintered over the cabin by a shell, part of which was found on board. Capt. Coxetter stood on the paddle-box all the time, and. was heard to exclaim ' He may sink me, but he shall not take me.' No material damage was done to the vessel, and not a man on board was hurt. The Herald entered the harbour between 6 and 7 o'clock, and reported the case to Capt. Hickley, of her Majesty's ship Greyhound, who immediately got up steam and proceeded to the Adirondac, for the purpose of protesting against the proceedings of Capt. Gansevoort. The captain of the Federal man-of-war, however, asserts his right to search any vessel suspected of carrying contraband of war within three miles of any coast, and quotes Vattel on International Law in support of the step he has taken. The subject, we understand, will be referred to the Home Government, at the request of Capt. Gansevoort. With all due deference to the cap tain of the Adirondac and the authority he has brought forward in support of his untoward act, we feel convinced that the Imperial Government will never countenance such a gross infringement of the neutrality laws, and we sincerely trust that no similar outrage will be perpetrated again within our waters. Our goods are detained from month to month by the Customhouse authorities of New York ; our vessels are constantly being boarded by Federal gunboats within our own waters, and that while our time-honoured flag is flying ; not even the mail packet British Queen can pass along un molested, for she was fired at and brought to this very passage. Only a few weeks ago the British steamer Bermuda was captured off Abaco. within sight of the lighthouse; and on the Bth inst. what do we find P—why, the Federal gunboat Adriatic carrying off the British steamer Addis within sight of the Biminis. It is high time to put an end to these unheard-of proceedings." The Nassau Guardian has the following para graph in reference to the British Queen, but does not give any particulars of the boarding of that vessel : " Ihe steamship British Queen arrived from New York at day break on Thursday with the English mail of the sth, and the American of the 19th of July. Capt. Harrison's temporary charge having expired, the packet is now commanded by that highly esteemed officer, Capt. Le Messurier, late of the Karnak. The freight from England left behind last month, in consequence of Mr. Cunard's refusal to enter into a bond of an enormous amount that none of the goods should be shipped into the Southern States, still remains warehoused in New York, together with the freight brought out by the Persia this month. Our merchants are, therefore, still suffering great pecuniary losses in thus being unjustly deprived of the sale of articles so much in demand here during the summer months. The only freight which came by the British Queen was a case of silver ware directed to the officers' mess of the 2d West India Regiment, and had it not been for Lieut. Turton's exertions that would have been left behind also." tioned him that to speak a word was death Taking the surprised captain back into his cabin, he was allowed to dress and secure whatever valu ables he wished to carry away with him. The matresses were then drawn out, ripped open, and fired, the door docked, and the captain escorted to the boat. In a few moments the party reached the shore, when the flames burst from the fired vessel, and the whole fleet was in commotion. Small boats plied about in every direction, hawsers were at tached to vessels, anchors weighed, and a general pulling and tugging commenced to keep clear of the burning vessel. In the meantime the crew of the Louisa Rives, awakened by the smoke, yelled fire !' and scampered over the decks with buckets of water with all the volubility and nimbleness of New York plugs.' A boat was sent from one of the adjacent vessels to their relief and assistance, and for the additional purpose of saving the schooner if possible. But the crew had scarcely mounted the deck before a shell and some rifles which were in the cabin exploded. All hands commenced a gene ral stampede, and tumbled over the bulwarks into their boats in the utmost confusion. No further at tempt was made to save the vessel, and she burnt to the water's edge. The heroes of this achievement, concealed in the woods above Coggins' Point, watched the event with the utmost satisfaction, and then carried their prisoners into quarters. They stated that they would have taken the whole crew, but their boat was leaky, with a hole in one side just a little above the water line, so that tf they had taken the crew in, all would have gone down toge ther. Had they stopped to lower a boat from the vessel, the manoeuvre would doubtless have been observed, and their capture the consequence." There has been a serious riot in Brooklyn, arising out of an attempt to prevent the employment of negroes in a tobacco factory. The following par ticulars are given by the New York. World : " A serious disturbance occurred in Sedgwick street, near Columbia-street, yesterday afternoon, caused by the employment of negroes in the tobacco manufactories of Messrs. Watson and Lorillard, and resulted in the expulsion of the employes of the factories, consisting mostly of women and children (coloured), which, but for an accident, a large number would have been de stroyed by fire. Shortly after noon, some 50 persons collected together, and making known their object, assembled a crowd numbering between 2,000 and 3,000 persons, and proceeded to the factories,which are three-story buildings, of brick, and in which between 300 and 400 persons are employed. The overseer, or foreman, of Watson's factory is a coloured man, as are all the persons employed therein, most of whom are women and children, to the number from 50 to 75. In Lord Lorillard's factory about 250 are employed,whites and coloured. There has been no difficulty until within the past few weeks, but it has been understood for some time that a disturbance might * take place any day. The population in the vicinity are principally Irish. Several local politicians, having for their object the making of political capital for use in the future, conceived the idea of making a demonstration against the factories for the purpose of expelling the objec tionable employes. They proceeded to both fac tories, which adjoin each other, and commenced by smashing in the doors and windows with stones. They entered the lower floor of Watson's factory, and, discovering a concoction of liquorice and whisky, mistook it for tar, and heaping a parcel of old clothing and some more combustible material around, set it on fire ; but they were disappointed. It would not burn. A smoke was created, but there was no flame of consequence. The affrighted em ployes meantime took refuge in the upper stories. The men stood at the head of the stairs ; there were some half dozen of them , who, armed with such weapons as they could g et hold of, s tood there to children. A themselves and the w om en and A number who came up , thinking they could over awe the coloured guardians of the staircase, were knocked down and several were seriously injured.

The personalty in this country was sworn under £5OOO. The will, which bears date July, 1861, was proved in the Supreme Court of Judicature at Fort William, Bengal, the gallant testator having died at Simlah, East Indies, pos sessed of property in that country. The witnesses to the will were Captain Ravenhill, R.A., and Captain S co tt, 71st Regiment.

Harrison Ainsworth. 3 vols. Chapman and Hall. That this novel of Mr. Ainsworth was suggested in a measure by Hogarth's delineations of the re sults of idleness and industry is tolerably evident from certain indications at the commencement of the first volume, still they merely give him as it were a starting-point, and in no way assisted him to fill up the details of his portrait of " a worthy Lord Mayor." This portrait, although assigned to a particular date, 1761, is, he states, an ideal one. Differing in opinion with those novelist and comic writers who have made Aldermen and Common Councilmen a standing jest, and believing munici pal authorities "to be generally men of sterling character, of high intelligence and capacity, zealous in the discharge of their public dillies, and energe tic in the maintenance of the rights and privileges of the great City they represent," he has painted them as such, and he has, moreover, de scribed the City pageants as they existed in all their glory a hundred years ago. Many celebrities of the time, such as George 111., the Earl of Bute, Pitt, Wilkes, and Alderman Beckford, are brought on the scene, and thus the political as well as the social aspect of the time is placed before the reader. The action of the tale is necessarily com prised within the space of the Mayoralty, or rather within a portion of it, inasmuch as it commences on the memorable ninth of November, and terminates with the Easter feast of the ensuing year. The principal character in it is, as Mr. Ainsworth states, imaginary, and he has endeavoured to render it a type of those business men who, from small beginnings have, by industry and integrity, raised themselves to the highest position the city can bestow. " Born at Bucklersbury, about sixty years before the present important epoch in his history, Gresham was the third son of a drysalter, in a very small way of business, who had got into difficulties and never recovered from them, but who was able to give his son a good education by placing him at the Merchant Tailors' School, where the last re mained until his father's death, when he was apprenticed to Mr. Tradescant, a prosperous draper in Cheapside, who knew the family and had taken a fancy to the youth." Of this start in life Gresham makes the most. He becomes Mr. Tradescant's right hand, is made head clerk, taken into partner ship, and ends by marrying his master's only daughter and succeeding to the business. Increas ing in worldly wealth he becomes Sheriff, is knighted, is then elected Alderman, and at last succeeds in the object of his ambition, that of becoming Lord Mayor. In his domestic relations Sir Gresham Lorimer can scarcely be considered so fortunate, inasmuch as his wife and two eldest daughters are essentially worldly, and his only son Tradescant is, at the beginning of the tale, on the road to ruin. Of the Lady Mayoress we have the following picture : " The Lady Mayoress, it has been intimated, was a few years younger than her husband, and being still in remark ably good preservation, might be termed a fine woman. Her person was rather on a large scale, it is true, her fea tures fat and rounded, and her once dimpling chin doubled,. but her teeth and eyes were goal, and she had an agreeable smile, and a generally pleasing expression of countenance. " Her size, however, was vastly exaggerated by the out rageous dimensions of the hoops sustaining her pink satin gown, which was decorated to profusion with large bows of ribbon, cords, tassels, and wreaths of flowers, and festooned with great bands of parti-coloured silks ; while her stature was increased in the same ratio by a surprisingly lofty head-dress, which was full three feet above her brow, and might have overbalanced a less substantially-built frame. " This monstrous 'head,' the interior of which (if wo may venture to reveal the secrets of the toilet) was formed of tow, rose up smooth and straight as a wall in front, being stiffened with powder and pomatum, while the sides and back were covered with ranges of enormous curls, likewise plentifully besprinkled with powder. Some of these curls descended on her ladyship's ample shoulders. " But we have not yet done. The towering head-dress in question, which reminds one of Queen Huncamunca's, was hung over with ropes of pearls and other jewels, deco rated with ribbons in bobs and ties, and surmounted with a plume of ostrich feathers. " There seems little danger of such a mode as this being 'revived, but it may be as well to remark, by way of caution, that independently of the time occupied in its construction, the shape, which was calculated to last for a fortnight, could only be preserved by the wearer sleeping in a chair the whole of the time. Such, ladies, was a Lady Mayoress in the time of your great-grandmothers." Now it so happens that Sir Gresham had two bro thers,Godfrey and Lawrence, who left London when young to push their fortune in the country, and of neither of whom from that time had he heard. Just, however, as the Lord Mayor is about to join his procession two young persons, dressed in rustic garb, are announced, and introduce themselves to him as his brother Godfrey's children, Herbert and Prue ; state that their father is dead, and that they are come to claim their uncle's protection. Though he had never before seen or heard of them Sir Gresham at once recognises them from their family likeness, and gives them a cordial welcome, Not so his wife and family. They, ashamed of their father's low origin, wish to turn their backs upon his poor relations, but he thus rebukes them—" I wish everybody to know I am not ashamed of my origin. I have an honest pride in referring to it. 'Tie one of the greatest privileges of the high office I now hold, that its qualifications are not exalted birth, or interest, but the good opinion and esteem of one's fellow-citizens. These I have won, or I should not wear these robes to-day. But I should be unworthy my office if I could forget m y former position—if I could l oo k coldly on my br other's children. I bid th em h ear tily welcome. All w ho love me, and respect me , w ill follow my e xample.' And he not only gives them kind words, but plac es Herbert in the shop, offers him the management of it, and promises that, if diligent, he will, on th e next Lord Mayor's Day, take him into partnership. But another surprise is in store for Sir Gresham. Whilst he is showing the Duchess of Richmond, Lady Kildare, and Lady Pembroke,who are termed the three Court beauties, the Guildhall and the city giants , and while the y were contemplat in g Gresham's droll version of th e po pular legend coendlroessspal figures, and li s t en i ng t o Sir respecting them, from the m,astrange interior hello of h hollow sound, te i , b n g a prolonged and di sma l groan , was heard, issuing, apparently, w a ppropratelycalled Little Ease, issues sbferhominda cell the i f i gure of Ma and the p r i sone r emerging at Sir Gresh am ' s o rder og, gog- This sound turns out to be his long lost brother Laurenae, who had been there confined for being drunk and dis orderly. " Many a one might have hesitated to acknowledge a near relative under such circum stances, ,and could scarcely be blamed for his eeluc tan ce. Sir G resham, how ever, was not a person o f this stamp. He resolved to adopt the prope r and the manly courfm, let the world think what it might of him." So be at once acknowledges him, but the old man, ashamed of his plight, refuses to admit his identity, and assumes the name of Can dish. Still the Lord Mayor believes his conviction to be true, appoints him to a situation iq his house hold, and finds him by no means ungrateful. But iis his son T ile .company,ng man, hasinlhih w ed it a tas te fo f r or ex travagant play, the great source of un eas i ness t o the L or d Mayor to and falling int o the h an d s o f s h arpers, shows ever y ofsymp t t o om his going father's ruin. knowledge, On this he threatens conduct com ing to disown him, and it is only in consequence of the entreaties of his old and attached servant Crutchet, that he gives him a further trial. But T dra escant, once in the path of reform, set to work in earnest, and is fortified in his good resolve by his pretty cousin Prue. He takes to the business ; it prospers under his management; he forsakes his dissolute companions, and the credit of the house of Lorimer is at length safe in his hands. Herbert now, the rustic cousin, strange to say, gives eause for anxiety. In proportion as Tradescant at tends to business, he neglects it, nor are remon strances of any avail in changing his course. The enigma is, however, at length solved by the arrival of an old gentleman from Yorkshire named Winter, who is a large landed proprietor, and M.P. for the East Riding, and who explains that he is the long lost brother Godfrey who had married a Yorkshire heiress and taken her name, and that his children had imposed on their uncle by a fictitious story in order to test his generosity. We scarcely need say that this at once puts matters straight. Trade scant is made happy with his cousin Prue, and Herbert weds Millicent, Sir Gresham's youngest daughter, who, differing from her mother and elder sisters, is a pattern of all that is amiable. So well known is Mr. Ainsworth's talent for the description of gorgeous ceremonial, that we can only say he has found on this occasion an ample field on which to exercise it, and that the accounts of the Lord Mayor's procession, banquet, and water pageant, as they existed a hundred years ago, will be read with interest by all who delight in events of such a character. Ingannati ; the Deceived. A Comedy per formed at Siena in 1531, and Aelia Laclia Crispis. By T. L. Peacock. Chapman and Hall. In this old Italian comedy, the greater portion of which is here translated, Mr. Peacock believes he has discovered the original of Shakspere's" Twelfth Night," and the correctness of his inference we see no reason to doubt. The date of Shakspere's comedy is fixed at about 1600 ; the earliest edition of " Gl' Ingannati," of which Mr. Peacock has found a re cord, is 1537 ; and although most of the details of the two plays are wholly different--although in the Italian we find no trace of the wonderful imagina- tive power or subtle humour of Shakspere—there is, nevertheless, a certain coincidence of event be tween them which leads to the conclusion that Shakspere may have made the same use of it there he did of Italian tales and English chronicles. Thus in both plays " A girl assumes male apparel, and enters as a page into the service of a man with whom she either previously is, or subsequently be comes, in love. He employs her as a messenger to a lady, who will not listen to his suit. The lady falls in love with the supposed page, and, under the in fluence of a mistake, marries the girl's twin brother. The lover transfers his affection to the damsel who had served him in disguise." And this is, in reality, all for which Shakspere is indebted. This skeleton it is which ho has clothed with immortality. That he should have converted such meagre material into so exquisite a creation is one of the most convincing proofs of his power ; and the Shaksperian world should be grateful to Mr. Peacock for bringing it to their knowledge. The explanation he gives at the end of the volume of the famed " Aelia Laclia Crispin" is ingenious, and will afford matter for dis cussion to those curious in such inquiries. The Royal English. and Foreign Confectioner. By Charles Elme Francatelli. Chapman and Hall. We can scarcely describe the contents of this handsome volume better than in the words of the author's preface :—" Herein will be found minutely and correctly detailed, instructions giving the most approved methods for the preservation of fruits, in sugar or spirits ; the preparation of all kinds of. syrups; English, foreign, and national fancy beve rages; ices, graniti, bon-bons, candies, comfits, compotes, dessert cakes, plain and fancy bread making ; spirituous essences, liqueurs, cordials; orna mental confectionary, the dishing up of fruits, and the general economy and arrangement of desserts." We have only to add that there are numerous illus trations in chromolithography of artistically contrived dishes, and it will at once be evident that the volume contains every requisite aid to ensure success in the confectioners indispensable calling. Elements of Geography. For Schools and Families. By A. F. Foster. Chapman and Hall. We have here a clear and concise account of the principal physical features of the world we inhabit, and so much of the social and political condition of each country as every fairly-educated person ought to know. Thus the area and population of each country are given, the natural features and chief products described, the government, religion, and condition of the people commented on, and at the end is a very useful etymological and pronouncing index of the terms and names common to geography as made use of in the work. THE LOSS OF THE BRIG COMMODORE. The following is the official report on the inquiry into the loss of this vessel : "My Lords,—l have, in accordance with your inetrue. tions, and in conjunction with Captains Harris and Feat, as nautical assessors, held an inquiry into the loss of the brig Commodore, which was wrecked on the Horse Bank, off the mouth of the River Ribble on the 19th of July last. The Commodore was a vessel built of wood, of 221 tons burthen, owned by Mr. James Bloomer, of South Shields, and commanded by Mr. William Johnston, who held a cer tificate of competency, which was lost in the vessel, and had a crew of nine persons, all told. The Commodore left Trieste en her homeward voyage laden with wheat, and put iato Falmouth for orders. She sailed thence for Fleetwood on the 15th of July, and about one p.m. on the 19th she struck on the Hoese Bank, at the mouth of the Ribble. The only evidence which could be brought before the court was that of George Berwick, the carpenter of the vessel, the mate having sailed on another voyage; and the crew having dispersed in various quarters, none of them could be found for the purposes of this inquiry at the time when instructions to hold it were issued. The evidence of the witness Borwick undoubtedly produced an impression on the minds of the court that there was an absence of pru dence on the part of the master in neglecting to use the lead when approaching a low and dangerous coast, as, so far as he could say, he heard no orders given for the use of the lead till within ten minutes before the ship struck ' • n or, to his knowledge, could he say that the lead was ever used at all, Looking at the size of the vessel, ds iaenadcmonanseqwuoenintdlyhcaovne sidering the facility with which the b ee n beard, there would seem to be little doubt that the sailing mas t er neglected to use the lead in sufficient ti m e to prevent theaccident,been ali t,y referring to the ch ar t he would appearng for many mile s i n very shallow sound to have sound ings.

The m aster, b y the a d v i c e of hi s solicitor, declined to make any statement, and the testimony of the carpenter alone remained to guide the court to a conclusion. Under these circumstances, a very grave question presented itself to my mind, as to how far, on the unsupported evidence of one witness, and that witness not a seaman, I should be justified in condemning the master to the heavy penalty With which he might justly have been visited had other corroborative testi- raol3l been laid before the court. While, morally speaking, the evidence of the single witness who could be called, coupled with all the probabilities of the case and the ex perience of the nautical assessors, strongly impel me to a conclusion unfavourable to the master, I cannot say that I feel myself justified in stating that there is that satisfactory legal proof which would call upon me to prcnounec the master in default. I have, therefore, in giving judgment under the provisions of the amendment Merchant Shipping Act, 1862, now for the first time brought into operation, in formed the master of the Commodore, that while I do not pronounce him guilty of a default, whereby he would have rendered himself liable to a suspension of his certificate, I do feel it requisite to admonish him to be more careful for the future, should he hereafter obtain another command,--- I have, &c., " T.

CIVIL WAR IN AMERICA. QUEENSTOWN, SATURDAY MORNING. The Cunard mail steamer Asia, from Boston on the 6th and Halifax the Bth, has arrived. The Secretary of War has issued the following order calling out 300,000 Militia from the several States:—. " War Department, Washington, D. C., Aug. 4. " Ordered, First—That a draught of 300,000 Militia be immediately called into the service of the United States, to serve for nine months unless sooner discharged. The Secretary of War will assign the quotas to the States and establish regulations for the draught. Second,—That if any State shall not, by the 15th of August, furnish its quota of the additional 300,000 volunteers authorised by law, the deficiency of volunteers in that State will also be made up by a special draught from the Militia. The Secretary of War will establish regulations for this purpose. " Third,—Regulations will be prepared by the War Department and presented to the President, with the object of securing the promotion of officers of the army and volunteers for meritorious and dis- tinguished services, and of preventing the nomina tion and appointment in the military service of incompetent or unworthy officers. The regulations will also provide for ridding the service of such incompetent persons as now hold commissions. " By order of the President. " EDWIN M. STANTON, Secretary of War." The New York Evening Fost remarks ; " The order of the War Department, issued yes terday, calling for militiamen in sufficient numbers to raise the Union armies to an aggregate of a mil lion of men, absorbs the attention of the community. Comparatively little else is thought of. The ex citement which the first announcement of a draught produced is, however, to some extent, passing away. The necessity of the movement is freely ac knowledged by all classes, The effect of the new order upon military operations in this city is not yet fully apparent. There is much excitement among the recruiting stations, and discussions are frequent but not boisterous. Recruiting is less ac tive. All the Government offices are open, as here tofore ; the mustering of volunteers goes slowly forward ; the State pays the bounties as hitherto ; but the majority of the recruits are wanting. No special preparations have been made in this city or anywhere, so far as we hear, for the immediate draught which had been ordered, but the State authorities will be ready to draught on the 15th of August, should it be necessary. The enrolment is completed, and the perfect returns show that the lists, which it was understood bore but 300,000 names, will contain more than 400,000. The law fixes the limit for filling exemption claims on the 15th of this month, and until that period it cannot be determined who really constitute the arms bearing population of the State. The exemption business is a rapid operation in this city. The ex emption papers which are filed in the office of the county clerk are received by Major S. R. Pinckney, and are entered in a book which contains the names of the exempts, or those who claim to be such. About 2,500 claims for exemption had been re ceived up to yesterday, of which 700 were offered on the last day. To-day the indications are that the number may reach 1,000 more. We learn, how ever, that the exemptions offered increase rather than diminish the recorded enrolment of 38,000 men in this city, It is a somewhat singular fact, and is explained in this wise. When the enrolment was made there was no expectation that a draught for war purposes would be needed, and the officers did not record the names of those who claimed to be exempt where there seemed to be evidence to sustain the claim, Many of these and others are not really exempt and will not be considered in the draught now ordered, though for State Militia pur- poses they were so considered." The following special despatch from Washington to the same journal states that the President has decided against enrolling regiments of negroes :-- "Washington, Aug. 4. " A deputation of prominent citizens waited upon the President this morning to ascertain if he would accept the services of negro regiments. The case was fairly put before Mr. Lincoln. It was re presented to him that regiments of blacks could be formed and equipped, to be commanded by white officers, and that their services would be of great benefit to the country. It was also urged that the rebels armed their slaves and used them against us. Mr. Lincoln replied that he could not accept regi ments of negroes, but that he would accept as many as would offer their services as labourers. This, it is understood, is to be the settled policy of the Go vernment." The War Department exempts from military ser vice persons engaged on the construction of mili tary telegraph lines. The following order respecting absent officers and privates has been issued : " War Department, Washington, D. C., July 31. " The absence of officers and privates from their duty under various pretexts, while receiving pay at great expense and burden to the Government, makes it necessary that efficient measures be taken to enforce their return to duty, or that their places be supplied by those who will not take pay while rendering no service. This evil, moreover, tends greatly to discourage the patriotic impulse of those who would contribute to support the families of faithful soldiers. " It is therefore ordered by the President : " 1. That on Monday the 11th day of August, all leaves of absence amd furloughs by whomsoever given, unless by the War Department, are revoked and absolutely annulled ; and all officers capable of service are required forthwith to join their regiments, under a penalty of dismissal from the service, or such penalty as a court-martial may award, unless the absence be occasioned by some lawful cause. " 2. The only excuse allowed for the absence of officers or privates from duty after the 11th day of August are—First, the order or leave of the War Department; second, disabilities from wounds re ceived in service; third, disability from disease that renders the party unfit for military duty ; but any officer or private whose health permits him to visit watering-places or places of amusement, or to make social visits, or walk about the town, city, or neigh bourhood in which he may be, will be considered fit dismissed a the fro for military duty, and as evading his duty by his absence from his command or the ranks. " 3. On Monday, the 18th day of August, at 10 o'clock a.m., each regiment and corps shall be mus tered. The absentees will be marked, three lists of the same made out, and, within 48 hours of the mus ter,enera .of the army and one to the commander of t' one copy shalt be sent to the Adjutant-G • the corps officers and privates fit for duty absent at that time will bo re garded as absent without cause.
