Redford - square, During the past few weeks large supplies of the hest descriptions of both angle and plate iron 'have poured into Chatham Dockyard, to be used in the construction of the iron steam frigate Achilles, 50. The number of hands employed upon the vessel will shortly be increased to 700, the utmost number that can be accommodated in the factory adjoining the dock in which the Achilles is under construction. Messrs. Collier, of Salford, have received orders to erect two powerful machines in the factory—one a " slotting" engine, for cutting aed shaping the slabs of iron which will form the shield-plates of the Achilles ; and the other I planing machine, the largest of its kind, in the world, for smoothing the sur face of the plates before they are affixed to the ship's side. Both machines are now being fixed in the factory, and will shortly be fit for working. By direction of the Admiralty, Mr. Robinson, first as sistant master-shipwright at Sheerness Dockyard,has been removed to Chatham Dockyard, in order that he may acquire a knowledge of the details of the system of iron shipbuilding. The projecting bow of the Achilles, forged at the Thames Ironworks, has been fixed in its place, and the stern-post will shortly be received from Glasgow, where it is being forged. The following are the principal dimensions of the Achilles—Length between perpendiculars, 380 ft,, length of keel for tonnage, 338 ft. gin. ; ex treme breadth, 58ft. 3 ; t i in breadth for tonnage, 58ft. fin ; breadth, moulded, 58ft. ; 'depth in hold, 21ft. lin. ; burden, 6,079 5-94 tons. Orders have been received at Chatham to prepare the following quantities of projectiles to be supplied to the iron screw frigates Hector, 32, and Valiant, 32, now under construction at private establishments for the Admiralty—viz., 290 common 110 pounder and 290 of the segment 110 pounder Armstrong shells, 113 common and 113 segment 20 pounder Armstrongs, 200 12 pounder Armstrong shells, 288 of the 68 pounder smooth-bore Moorsom shells, 96 of the 7i naval 68 pounder smooth-bore shells, and 96 of the 68 pounder and 50 of the 12 pounder diaphragm smooth-bore shells. The solid shot to be supplied to each of the above ships is 1,680 68- pounder, 280 110-pounder Armstrong, 75 20- pounder Armstrong, and 50 12-pounder Armstrong. Each vessel is also to be supplied with 115 common 12-pounder howitzer shells, and 60 24-pounder con greve rockets. The above is the largest quantity of projectiles ever ordered to be furnished to any vessels of that class. The Shannon, screw frigate, Capt. Wainwright, has been officially inspected at Spithead by Capt. H. Broadhead, commanding the Reserve at Ports mouth, and will go into harbour this morning should the weather moderate. Yesterday a strong wind prevailed from W.S.W., accompanied the fore part of the day with heavy rain. The Shannon is ordered to be placetl in dock on the 26th inst. to stop a leak and examine her bottom. The Victor Emmanuel, screw liner, Capt. W. J. C. Clifford, C. 8., has also been inspected at Spithead by Capt. Brordhead, and will go into Portsmouth harbour this morning, weather permitting, to dis mantle and pay out of commission. An attempt was made yesterday to take out of her the 45 cases of goods she has brought to England from Corfu for the International Exhibition, but the vessel sent out by Lloyd's agent to receive them split her mainsail. and was unable to get alongside the ship, owing to the roughness of the weather. The cases will now be landed at the dockyard on the ship going into harbour. The Tribune s 23, screw frigate, Captain Viscount Gilford, under orders for the Pacific, is detained at Spithead, retubing her boilers. The Royal Sovereign, at Portsmouth, will be placed in No. 3 covered dock at that port, on the 25th inst., to eomplete her conversion to a shield- ship.

By direction of the Duke of Cambridge a general order has been issued from the Horse Guards, signed by Sir James Yorke Scarlett, Adjutant- General ; laying down a new code of regulations for carrying on the musketry instruction of the army. These rules have been drawn up with a view to establish uniformity, and to bring under notice of the General Commanding-in -Chief the progress in musketry instruction in a clear, concise, and systematic form. Orders have been received at Chatham garrison by Colonel Harness, C. 8,, Director of the Royal Engineer establishment, for the detachment of non commissioned officdeerspasatnedhemd n et:cnoafnathden,Rinotyhael En- gineers who were Vic toria steam transport, for the purpose of laying down the telegraphic wires in that colony, but were unable to proceed iu consequence of the breaking down of that vessel, to be held in readiness for im work in ne d d i e a d t e t en o e b u a c d a e t r i t en al e n t o . p T r h o e s eaceuttnen detachment goes out under the command of Lieut.

PITTSBURG, via FORT HENRY, APRIL 9, 3.30 A.M. One of the greatest and bloodiest battles of mo dern days has just closed, resulting in the complete rout of the enemy, who attacked us at daybreak, Sunday morning. The battle lasted, without inter mission, during the entire day, and was again re newed on Monday morning,and continued undecided until 4 o'clock in the afternoon, when the enemy commenced their retreat, and are still flying towards Corinth, parried by a large force of our cavalry. The slaughter t n both sides is immense. We have lost in Mira and" VirotiliTed and liiisSitg from If*ooo, to 20,000 ; that of the enemy is estimated at 35,000 to 40,000. It is impossible, in the present confused state of affairs, to ascertain any of the details. I therefore give you the best account possible from observation, having passed through the storm of ac tion during the two days that it raged. The fight was brought on by a body of 300 of the 25th Mis souri Regiment, of Gen. Prentiss's division, attack ing the advance guard of the rebels, whi c h were supposed to be the pickets of the enemy in fro n t o f our camps. The rebels immediately advanc e d on volley Gen .Prentiss'slldey of musketry, and riddling ourivision, on the left wing, p our i ng camps with grape, canister, and shell. Our forces soon formed into line and returned their fire vigo rously, and by the time we were prepared to receive them had turned their heaviest fire on the left centre of Sherman's division, and drove our men back from their camps, and bringing up a fresh force open e d fire on our left wing, under Gen. M'Clernand. This fire was returned with terrible effect and deter mined spirit by both infantry and artillery along the whole line, for a distance of over four miles. Gen. Hurlbart's division was thrown forward to support the centre, when a desperate conflict ensued. The rebels were driven back with terrible slaughter, but soon rallied, and drove back . our men in turn. From about 9 o'clock, the time your cor respondent arrived on the field, until night closed on the bloody scene, there was no determina tion of the result of the struggle. The rebels exhibited remarkably good generalship ; at times engaging the left with apparently their whole strength, they would suddenly open a terrible and destructive fire on the right or centre. Even our heaviest and most destructive fire upon the enemy did not appear to discourage their solid columns. The fire of Major Taylor's Chicago Artillery raked them down in scores, but the smoke would no sooner be dispersed than the breach would again be filled. The most desperate fighting took place late in the afternoon. The rebels knew that if they did not succeed in whipping us then their chances for success would be extremely doubtful, as a por tion of General Buell's forces had by this time ar rived on the opposite side of the river, and another portion was coming up the river from Savannah. They became aware that we were being reinforced, as they could see General Buell's troops from the river bank, a short distance above us on the left, to which point they had forced their way. At 5 o'clock the rebels had forced our left wing back so as to oc cupy fully two-thirds-of our oamp, and were fight -YriV44.40P64,10aa"-. _ confidence iii`theii eft.rts to drive us into the river, and at the same time heavily engaged our right. Up to this time we had received no reinforeemt nts, Gen. L. Wallace failing to come to our support until the day was over, having taken the wrong road from Crump's Landing, and being without other transports than those used for Quartermaster's and Commissary stores, which were too heavily laden to ferry any considerable number of Gen. Buell's forces across the river, those that were here having been sent to bring up the troops from Savannah. We were, therefore, contesting against fearful odds, our forces not exceeding 38,000 men, while that of the enemy was upwards of 60,000. Our condition at this moment was extremely critical. Large numbers of men, panic struck, others worn out by hard fight ing, with the average percentage of skulkers, had struggled towards the river, and could not be rallied. Gen. Grant and staff, who had been recklessly rid ing along the lines during the entire day, amid the unceasing storm of bullets, grape, and shell, now rode from right to left, inciting the men to stand firm until the reinforcements could cross the river. Col. Webster, Chief of Staff, immediately got into position the heaviest pieces of artillery, pointing on the enemy's right, while a large number of the bat teries were planted along the entire line, from the river bank north-west to our extreme right, some two and a half miles distant. About an hour before dusk a general cannonading was opened upon the enemy, from along our whole line, with a perpetual crack of musketry. Such a roar of artillery was never heard before on this continent. For a short time the rebels replied with vigour and effect, but their return shots grew less frequent and destructive, while ours grew more rapid and more terrible. The gunboats Lexington and Tyler, which lay a short distance off, kept raining shells on the rebel hordes. This last effort was too much for the enemy, and ere dusk had set in the firing had nearly ceased, when, night coming on, all the combatants rested from their awful work of blood and carnage. Our men rested on their arms in the position they had at the close of the night, until the forces under Major- General Wallace arrived and took position on the right, ann General Buell's forces from the opposite side and Savannah now being conveyed to the battle ground.

BATTLE. THE SECOND DAY'S General Buell having arrived the following even ing, in the morning the ball was opened at daylight simultaneously by General Nelson's division on the division on the l r e i g f t h , t a . n d G Me General -G en Nelson'se r a l 1 I r forceal lne eo' spened up a most galling fire on the rebels, and advanced rapidly as they fell ba c k. The fire soon became general along With terrible effect the whole line, and began to tell on the ene m y. Generals M'Cle rnan d , Sh erman , and Hurlburt's men, though terribl y j aded from the previous day's fighting, still maintained their hon ours won at Donelson 3 but the resistance of the were not enough re bels at all p o i n t s of the attack Was terrible, and worthy a better cause. But they for our undaunted bravery, and the dreadful desola tion produced by o ur artillery, whi c h was sweeping wind. But know ing that a def ea t h e re would be th e d eat h bl ow t o their hopes, a n d that their all dep en d e d upon thi s them away lik e c haff before the great struggle, their Generals still urged them on in the face of destruction, hoping by flanking us on the right to turn the tide of battle. Their success was again for a time cheering, as they began to gain to have b een re i n f or ced; ground on us, app ear ing but our left, under General Nelson, was driving them, and with wonderful rapidity, and by 1 1 o'clock General Buell's forces had succee d e d in flanking them a n d ca pturing th e i r batter i es o f ar tillery. They, h oweve r, agrAin ralli e d on the left, and recrossed, and th e right forced th emse lves for ward in another d esrlera t e eff or t. But re i n f o rce , meats from Goue- c al Wand and General Thomas were comi ng in, regiment after regiment, which were sent to General Buell, who had again com menced to drive the enemy. About three o'clock in the afternoon General Grant rode to the left, where the fresh regiments had been ordered, and, finding the rebels wavering, sent a por tion of his body guard to the head of each of five regiments, and then ordered a charge across the field, himself leading, as he brandished his sword and waved them on to the crowning victory, while cannon balls were falling like bail around him. 'The men followed with a shout that sounded above the roar and din of the artillery, and the rebels fled in dismay, as from a destroying avalanche, and never made another stand. General Buell followed the retreating rebels, driving them in splendid style, and by half-past 5 o'clock the whole rebel army was in full retreat to Corinth, with our cavalry in hot pursuit, with what further result is not known, not having returned up to this hour. We have taken n larg.: amount of their artillery and also a number of prisonerm. We lost a number of our forces pri soners yesterday, among wiii9m is General Prentis s . The number of our force taken has not been ascer tained yet. It is reported at several huared. Gen. Prentiss was also reported as being wounded. Among the killed on the rebel side was their Gene ral-in-Chief, Albert Sydney Johnston, who was struck by a cannon ball on the afternoon of Sunday. Of this there is no doubt, as the report is corrobo rated by several rebel officers taken to day. It is further reported that General Beauregard had his arm shot off. This afternoon Generals Bragg, Breckinridge, and Jackson were commanding posi tions of the rebel forces. There has never been a parallel to the gallantry and bearing of our officers, from the commanding-general to the lowest officer. Gen. Grant and staff were in the field, riding along the lines in the thickest of the enemy's fire during the entire two days of the battle, and all slept on the ground on Sunday night during a heavy rain. On several occasions General Grant got within range of the enemy's guns and was dis covered and fired upon. Lieutenant - Colonel MTherson had his horse shot from under him when alongside of General Grant. Captain Carson was between General Grant and your correspondent when a cannon ball took off his head, and killed and wounded several others. General Sherman had two horses killed under him, and General MlClernand shared like dangers, also General Hurlburt, each of whom received bullet-soles through his clothes. General Buell remained with his troops during the entire day, and, with General Crittenden and Gen. Nelson, rode continually along the lines encourag ing the men. FEDERAL ATTACK ON ISLAND NO. 10. From Island No. 10 we learn that on the evening of the 3d, as an attempt was being made to tow the Confederate floating battery to a serviceable posi tion, the mortar boats opened upon it and struck it several times. The battery was then submerged and towed out of danger. The Sumter steamer had been partially destroyed by shells. On the night of the 4th a Federal gunboat, the Carondelet, ran past the island without damage, and reached General Pope at New Madrid. The night was in tensely dark and stormy. She passed the first bat tery before being discovered. The second fired on her as soon as its guns could be brought to bear, but, owing to the darkness and the speed with which she moved, the fire was totally harmless. A third battery also concentrated its fire on her, but not a shot struck the boat, She passed the fourth and fifth batteries with the same fortunate result. Fifty-three shots were fired at her: Three miles below the island the Confederate floating battery opened on her, and continued firing until the Caron. &let was out of range. All through the passage a continuous fire of musketry was kept up from the shore, and many bullets struck the boat, but all hands being below, nobody was hurt. The Carondelet did not discharge a gun during the entire passage. She passed the last battery within an hour after leav- " New Madrid, April 7, a.m. " Commodore Foote got another boat safely past the batteries last night. General Pope is now cross ing opposite New Madrid in force. There is heavy firing in the advance. " Noon. " General Pope has just lauded General Paine's Division on the Tenneskee shore. The whole move ment has been a grand success. The whole army will be moved over to-day and to-night. " General Pope has four steamers to ferry with, which arrived by the new route through the swamps last evening. Another gunboat arrived this morn ing from Island No. 10. I will report from the field as frequently as possible. " A large force of infantry, artillery, and cavalry have crossed the Mississippi within the last six hours. Everything is working well." " Chicago, April 7. " A special despatch from Cairo to the Tribune says that the gunboat Pittsburg ran the blockade of Island No. 10 last night, under a terrific fire from the rebel batteries. Four steam transports and five barges were also got through the Slough, from Phillip's landing, above the island, to New Madrid, by Colonel Bissell's corps of engineers, " This morning, under the fire of our gunboats, which silenced one of the rebel batteries, a company, under Captains Lewis and Marshall, crossed the river at New Madrid, and spiked the guns. Another force took three other batteries, spiked the guns and threw the ammunition into the river. " At 11 o'clock, in the face of the fire of the re maining rebel batteries, General Paine, with four regiments and a battery of artillery, crossed the Mississippi, near to the Kentucky shore. Subse quently the divisions of Generals Hamilton and Stanley crossed ; also General Granger with his cavalry. They are now strongly posted, ready for any emergency." " TO EON, GIDEON WELLES, SECRETARY or THE NAVY. " Steamer Benton, off Island No. 10, April 8, 3 25 a.m. "Two offers of the rebel navy have this instant boarded us from Island No. 10, by order of their commanding officer; they were ordered to surren der Island No. 10 to the commander of the naval forces.

" That portion of the army of the Yotonme re cently concentrated at Old Point advanced yester day morning in the direction of Yorktown, 24 miles distant. The right was assigned to General Morrill's Brigade, of General Porter's Division, two companies of the 3d Pennsylvania Cavalry, and a portion of Berdan's Sharpshooters, acting as skirmishers. Nothing of interest took place until their arrival at Big Bethel, 12 miles distant, where they met the outer pickets of the rebels. The troops were delayed here two hours in reconstructing a bridge which had been de stroyed. The rebels retreated before the advance of our skirmishers to Howard's Creek, where they had same abandoned earthworks. Four shots were fired here by the rebels from two field pieces,which were soon silenced by the 4th Rhode Island Bat tery, when the rebels beat a hasty retreat, taking their field pieces with them. The main body of the army here rested for the night, while General Mor rill's brigade advanced three miles to Cuckleville, and six miles from Yorktown, and then encamped. "By 7 o'clock this (Saturday) morning the column was again in motion, and at 10 o'clock was in front of the enemy's works at Yorktown. " The first shot sired was by the rebels, the shell passing over the heads of General Porter and staff without exploding. The batteries of Griffin, 3d and 4th Rhode Island, and sth Massachusetts were now placed in position, replying to every shot sent by the rebels. The cannonading continued with but slight intermission until dark. About 400 shots were fired by both parties during the day. The loss on our side was three killed. " The position;of the rebels is a strong one. From present indications their fortifications extend some two miles in length, and mount heavy guns. The ground in front of their heavier guns is low and swampy, making it utterly impassable." "Fortress Monroe, Monday, April 7, via Bal timore, Tuesday, April 8. "Nothing has been done to-day in front of York town, with the exception of a reconnoissance in that direction and some cannonading. " A telegraph line is built to our headquarters near Yorktown.

" All goes on very smoothly. I do not believe the army of the Potomac will find many troops to con tend with." Letters from Fortress Monroe state that either Captain Pegrim or Captain Peagrim would com mand the Virginia (Merrimac) on her next expedi tion. Of the battle before Corinth we have the follow ing reports: " CHICAGO, TUESDAY, April 8. " Afprivate despatch received in this city to-day from one of Gen.

Fremont's command is reported to have ad vanced from Cheat Mountain Camp AlleglAany, the ,Confederiates falling back before them. A Charleston paper gives an account of the. damage received by the Virginia (Merrimac) in her encounter with the FeGral squadron : " The Virginia steers beautifully, and her speed is three miles more per hour than it ever was. She is very comfortable ; there is not the least unplea: sant sound from the guns, and all the officers are highly pleased. The Virginia is now in the dry dock for repairs. Her iron plates are said to haves withstood with the most complete success the effects of the terrific cannonading of the enemy, some of the sections only being riven. Her smoke stack and ventilators were riddled by the enemy's balls, so as to give them the appearance, as our infor mant describes them, of huge nutmeg -graters. We are glad to learn from the .Norfolk L a yb oo k th a t the large gun recently cast in Richmond for the Virginia has been placed in its position on board of tilt vessel. It throws a solid shot weighing 36,91 b. Tho'shot is of wrought iron, long, and has a stL el point. This point is not conical, as in the commo n rifle cannon ball, hut shaped like that of the ordi_ nary instrument pi:melting iron. Recent experi ments show this to be a very ugly weapon, even against thick iron Oates. The gun for this new projectile with the two Armstrong guns, put aboard the Virginia since she returned from Newport News gives her one of the most formidable batteries in the world, in addition to her being per fectly shot and shell proof. The Richmond Despatch of the 20th says, ' Private information from Norfolk assures us that the Ajax of theßoads will not be long idle, and that when she make* her second excursion it will fall with crushing effect upon the old hulks of the Federal navy. Since her gallant exploits of the Bth and 9th, the people of Norfolk breathe freer, and less danger is apprehended of a visit from Burnside.' From Warsaw Sound we have advices to the 29th ult., which report that the Federal land bat teries were prepared to attack Fort Pulaski. Heavy firing was heard on the 30th. The residents of Sa vannah, it is said, had offered 190,000 dols. for the release of the garrison of the fort. A despatch of the 4th from Mobile mentions the landing of a Federal force at Biloxi, and the cut ting of the telegraph wire between Mobile and New Orleans. In the Confederate Senate on the 14th ult. Mr„ Phelan, of Mississippi, presented a Bill prohibiting the planting of cotton during the year 1862, allow ing for each planter only 3 acres for each labourer, and from which not more than five bales of 500 lb, for each said labourer shall be gathered. Tba penalty is fixed at 1,000 dols: fine, not less than 12 months' imprisonment and the forfeiture of the clop. On the following day the Senate passed the house resolution which requests planters of cotton to refrain from the production of that stapio, and devote their energies to the raising of provisions:. In the House of Representatives on the 19th ult,, a resolution was adopted instructing the committer: , on claims to inquire into the expediency of provid ing payment for damages resulting from the use of private property for military purposes.

A sum of 50,000 dols. was immediately advanced by the merchants, and the Government had destined 25 per cent. of the revenue on imports for the liquidation of this loan. In Caracas a subscrip tion for 100,000 dols. per month had been formed, to cash for one ipar what bills the" Banco de Vene zuela" might issue, iliese bills to be payable in six months. A letter from Havannab, of the 2d, reports as follows of evasions of the blockade : "On the 24th arrived the Sardinian schooner Guio, 51 tons, 40 days from New Orleans, and five days from the mouth of the Mississippi, with cotton.

MANCIrESTEIt, April 22.—There has been a very strong yarn-market, but spinners are asking much higher prices (in some cases fully /d. per lb. more than last week), and there has not been a very large business. The demand for what has been done has been pretty genera!, including buyers for India, China, Germany, the Mediterranean, and home trade. The cloth-market is in a less satisfactory state than it was last week, owing, in some degree, to the nature manufacturers, week,ures nd.., of the advices from America. Buyers have f tshown find ing little inclination to purchase ; indeed, ing they cannot get the prices they obtaine d press realise. sales, except where they are obliged to this Many o f them looked for an advance of prices week, and the cotton and yarns are dearer, have not been disposed to while check which they have experienced is naturally productive th g e e s t e u m p a- a of much disappointmen t. It has been found eas y enough teteonthane d sc in ar y ci a t rn y of ; b e u o t tt w on h , en t to from m le t o i x m ci e te to m t e i n m t e in terials come to bo m ade up into goods ther e i s generally a lack of spirit and enterprise among merchants, both in the home and export trade that is very discouraging. The business done to -day has been on a very trifling scale, and in most cases buyers have been offering less than last week's) rates. A telegram from Calcutta to the 31st of March re ports no material improvement in that market, and conse quently but little has been done for that quarter. For shirt ing, longcloths, T-cloths, printers, &c., the market is alike without animation. Messrs. John Slagg and Co. report : , i Since Tuesday last there has been a fair demand for goods at full, and in some cases improved rates. The late accounts from America have, however, to-day caused buyers to suspend operations; while manufacturers are asking an advance on last week's prices. We have, therefore, to re port a sinan amount of business, and renew our quotations of last Tuesday." LEEns, April 21—The markets in the cloth-halls, as is usual at Easter, wore characterised by touch quietness to day. There was a thin attendance both of manufacturers and merchants, and only a small amount of business was done. In other respects the markets were satisfactory, prices being steady and nu anxiety 6liown to effect sales. The Easter holidays here have been kept with the usual amount of fes tivity, °" warl Y so, and there have been few manifestations of any suffering from want of employment among the ope rative classes. _ RocitnALE, A pr il 21.—There was a fair attend a nce in this flannel mark e t t o -d ay , co nsidering that it was Easter Monday, and more disposition was shown than of late to d o business. The demand is mostly for the home trade, the shipping houses doing but little. Manufacturers are fully as well employed as lately reported, and late prices are ob tained. Yorkshire goods are still slow of sale. Wools keep firm in price, and there is a little more doing espec i a ll y i n sorts for flannel -making. "ItrEin AL-R lONS.
