LONDON, WEDNESDAY, MAY 21, 1862. Secession is worth sacrifice. So think, assuredly the inhabitants of New Orleans and the planters along the banks of the Mississippi. ELEVEN THOUSAND bales of cotton are now reported, on Federal authority, to have been burnt at New Orleans ; and, altogether, cotton and shipping to the value of ONE MILLION AND A-HALF TO TWO BILLIONS sterling ! Right or wrong in regard to their cause, the people, who are ready to destroy their property at this rate; must have their hearts in it; and, if there be, as is likely, many unionists in a commercial city like New Orleans, many who care for nothing b u t a qu i et prosecu ti on o f their trade, such as would be found in Liverpool and L ondon equally ; yet, it is pretty plain that those who hav3 any pu blic • spirit are all on the side of being independent of the North. It is to be remembered that, on taking the city, th e port was commercially opened, so that those who have destroyed their cotton could have com manded, had they been willi a g to sell, a good price for it. If we mistake not, they have destroyed not what the enemy would have Seized, but what his 003MarCial tigento would LATO gladly b ought, If, so, the only reason could be to deprive the Massa- 1 chusetts factories of cotton, and New York merchants of the profits of selling it, although the destroyers of their own crops lost more by the act than Mas sachusetts and New York together. The Loutsville Dispatch—and the railroads from the town go direct to the Mississippi—reports that all the way along its banks, from New Orleans to Memphis, where BEAU REGARD was by the last accounts, there is a general bonfire of property—of cotton especially. And that ' at Memphis itself they were preparing to destroy everything in like manner, on the approach of the Federals. The property was also being destroyed along the tributaries of the great river, and it is added, with an exactness which imitates or evi dences the truth, that only one planter objected to the destruction of his cotton. Indeed the accounts appear to be explicit enough; nothing but the use less desperation of the act renders them in any way doubtful. The Federals have cleared the banks of the " Father of Waters" of all the defences erected on them, and the Confederates, in response, have cleared the banks of all the property they were erected to protect. In one not unimportant particular the more defi nite accounts differ from the first telegrams. The forts were reduced by the fire of the ships. That fi r e lasted six days without intermission, and was followed by an honourable capitulation on the 25th of April. As so little injury was done to the fleet, while the very strong forts succumbed, the lesson to Lord PALMERSTON is the same. The forts would not, indeed, be equal to those for which he would have us pay our millions without stint, either in respect to invulnerability or weight of armament; but the ships wl►ivL uvula ever n++-1- ---- r --- would be as superior to those which which subdued the Mississippi forts as ours would be to the latter. Twenty-one mortarboats and three gunboats were sufficient for the reduction of two forts thought to be impregnable, and possessing every artificial advantage. The forts were supported not only by booms and chains across the river, but by such gunboats as the Confederates could muster ; but the total destruction of the whole is recorded, including eleven gunboats. The accounts from Yorktown—though we must remember they come through a press under the virtual censorship of the American Secretary for War—are decidedly worse for the Confederates. They have almost fled, rather than retreated, ac cording to these accounts. Not being permitted by M'CLELLAN to rest at Williamsburg, where ' they fought fiercely, they were "pursued" across the Chickahominy, the small river which runs half across the peninsula, about ten miles from Williamsburg, and twenty from Yorktown. Here the Confederates destroyed the bridges over the river, but they seem to be in great jeopardy. Somehow in these Federal accounts of to-day, w e suddenly lose sight of the large Confederate army described by M'CLELLAN as probably considerably larger than his own, and find them speculating on the fate of a Confederate fugitive army. It has become all at once so much smaller, that M'CLELLAN sends twenty thousand men, with reinforcements to follow, up the York River to West Point, to inter cept this lately mighty army, now fugitives, before they reach Richmond ! We own that we cannot explain the apparent discrepancy. We can easily make three or four suppositions, but we :have no means of determining which is most probable. The last despatch from M'CLELLAN should be authoritative, and according to that one would think Richmond would soon be at his mercy. He had joined the troops he sent forward to West Point under FRANKLIN; and the Confederates had actually, to avoid him, crossed over to the Southern bank of the St. James River, the parallel stream which completes the Peninsula, while 31`CLELLAN'S gunboats, were actually ascending the St. James itself—the river on which Richmond stands. The sum of these accounts is that M'CLELLAN is half-way up the peninsula, about thirty-fire orforty miles from Richmond—gunboats supporting him on both rivers, and the Confederate army avoiding him whenever he comes. If there is no exaggeration here, we must soon hear of a bloody battle near to Richmond, or of its surrender. Besides all this the Merrimac only shows herself to draw back again when the Monitor appears ; Sewall's Point, the Confederate defence opposite Port Monroe, is all but abandoned. Gen. LEE has been compelled to retreat before Franklin and the gunboats at West Point ; both Charleston and Savannah are more threatened than ever, and the captured Confederate soldiers at Williamsburg were found half starved! Thus, if the Lincoln Gazettes speak truth, the cause of the Confederates in Vir ginia and on the Atlantic, is in a miserable plight indeed. Of course all requires confirmation, except that we have not yet found M'CLELLAN, or M'DOWELL, telling falsehoods in their despatches. It looks rather ominous that from the West the report is, " nothing decisive from the armies of Generals BEAUREGARD and HALLECK." Aptly enough, the most " telling" incident in that pictorial microcosm, Mr. FRITH'S great picture of the Railway Station now on view in the Haymarket, is that of the interception by a Detec tive of one those Representative Men of this nine teenth century, your arch Forger, Swindler, and Embezzler, at the moment of his attempted escape. Anyone who glances, however carelessly, at this last of those true Hogarthian pictures of English Life and Manners begun as a series with The Derby Day—a series, let us hope, long to be con tinued by this distinguished and popular Academi cian—anyone who glances, no matter how casually, at this second, and in some respects still more remarkable portraiture of the busy and varied world of English Life and Manners as seen at a great London Railway Terminus, will have his attention at once revitted tc the particular group (the little group in the right hand corner) here referredt o . Th e scene chosen by the art i st, as everyone kn ows who has yet seen the picture, as thousands of others know even without having seen it, namely by station at hea rsaY is the pl at f orm o f the Great Western Paddi ngton a few moment's before the starting of th e i) te faint whiff of soawren t that p t r h e e s s . e g Y i n o e u s see " from i t n h g e off" at its shrillest. Although you are th e re as a mere sp ectator, having of theno n 3 p ersonal ote ; y e i n n e t o e u r r e : e t in the comings a n d goings , and, for the most part, crowding the foreground jostling each other in mutually bewildering con by the sheer force 1 the Prevailing excite fusion, you participate of human sympathy in went.

Y et, while infected with those sensations, sens a ti ons visible, almost audible, among those who are h urry i ng w i ldly hither about the platform a few seconds before the signal for starting—cast but one momentary look upon any one of the faces in that little group clustered together in the right hand corner of the picture and you forget every thing in that instant recognition of the human tragedy it reveals. Train, passengers, railway porters, engine men, lanwsboys, soldiers, sailors, raw recruits, dapper volunteers, the bilious Frenchman bewildered by the stolid effrontery of tilt+ London cabby who is doing him out o Land. THE SUN, LONT)ON, WEDNE3D4Y EVENING MAY 21, 1862. ful of silver where probably a single florin would have been amonstrous overcharge, Country Bump. kin and Town Blackguard, bow.windo wed Pater familias and buxom Materfamilias with all their progeny, young and old, rich and poor, here the woe-worn widow, there the fair yo ang bride quitting her si ste r-bri d e excursion—all m are aid l ost at o nce st o start to sight mpon her honeymoon and to recollection at the first glimpse of that haggard form, of those deathlike features to the right —the form and features of the Captured Swindler ! It is the world in little at a glance—the very type of the distinctive crime of this particular age of ours, when mercantile swindling has been carried to the height of a positive science. At the breathless moment chosen by the artist, the forger and embezzler is about to step into a compartment of one of the first-class carriages. One foot is on the step even—when his leather valise drops from his hand in horror, at the sudden pres sure upon his shoulder of the firm, strong grasp of th 9 detective. A brother officer of the latter stands hard by with the hand-cuffs ready. The wretched young wife (already within the carriage) with a thrill of despair all over her faded face, sees what has happened. With a few wonderful touches here of the artist's brush, how much of the crime and agony of the age have there not been painfully epitomised ! It is the visible touch of genius upon the canvas. A comparatively short time has yet elapsed since Mr. FIRTH'S picture of the Railway Station was first opened to view in the metropolis, when judg , ment is at last pronounced in the House of Lords by the Chancellor in the appeal of EYRE versus BURMESTER and others, in connection with one of the numerous cases of gigantic fraud brought to light (since his death by poison on Hampstead Heath in the February of 1856) against the notorious JOHN SADLEIR, M.P. and some time one of the Lords of the Treasury. Looking at the incident delineated in Mr. FRITH'S Picture, and at the judgment pronounced yesterday by the Lord Chancellor in the case referred to, we seem to glance—between the two—down a longperspective of frauds such as we can find no similar record of in a period of time equally restricted. A complete catalogue of the names even would be superfluous. Yet the most infamous among them, from the suicide SADLEIR downwards, must present to view at the mere casual mention of them—REDPATH, ROBSON, PAUL, STRAHAN, cum cateris paribus-- symbols of a misery altogether as widespreading in its disastrous consequences as the bursting of the South Sea Bubble and the dissipation of the day dream of the Darien scheme, put together, as the wildest illusions conjured up by the bewitching knaveries of JOHN LAW, or by the self-deluding fancies of WILLIAM PATTERSON. And all these late and accumulated Frauds of the middle of the Nineteenth Century, the fruit of deliberate Crime carefullyprepared and sedulously cultivated. Hap pily we may console ourselves with the thought that the worst in this way has at length been witnessed. Fraudulent schemes have been so numerous of late years, and they have proved so often to be the results of a marvellous combination of subtlety, andaudacity, that it is barely within reason to suppose that the projectors Of any kindred schemes could (at any rate yet a while) hope to carry them out either without detection or with impunity. The age has suffered in this way such grievous wrong, and so very frequently, that it is at length in real earnest upon the alert. We can glance back, then' upon those enormous Frauds of JOHN SADLEIR, —suggestive as it seemed of all the others, and in many respects, surpassing them all—with a certain sense of equanimity. With a feeling, as already expressed, as if society had seen the worst (at any rate, for some time to come) of the ruinous phase in the development of the system of over-speculation . The particular case of Fraud here alluded to as connected with The maze of gigantic Frauds per- petrated by JOHN SADLEIR, the case, in which judgment was pronounced yesterday by the Lord Chancellor in the appeal of EYRE v. BURAIESTER and Others, is just typical of the scope and bearing of those most lamentable and appalling transactions. It will be seen, from Lord WESTBURY'S judgment, as given elsewhere, in our impression of this evening, that it was a case growing out of a mortgage to EYRE, by SADLEIR, of certain estates in Ireland, and of SADLEIR'S subsequent attempt to obtain, by the transfer of the estates, an additionul £25,000 from the London and' County Joint Stock Bank, to which SADLEIR was alreaiy indebted, to the tune of £70,000 sterling. Learning that the estates referred to had already been mortgaged to EYRE, the Bank refused (not very unnaturally) to advance the additional sum of £25,000 sterling, upon a security already beyond SADLEIR'S bestowal. Thereupon the Arch - Swindler deluded EYRE, the ' mortgagee, into executing El reconveyance of the e s t a t es upon his (SAD LEIR'S) covenanting to hand over to EYRE equally good securities. These substituted seeu- rities being a promissory note of Mr. DARGAN'S for £12,000, and certain shares in the Royal Swedish Railway—the promissory note turning out to be a Forgery, and the shares proving to be is, while statesmen md legislators are most de lightedly shoaklerin 4 ; the whole subject out of the House —what ought :arnest Reformers to do P We do not see that theycan do better than what the gentlemen who are ust assembled are doing. Let them, however remoached, abused, or ridiculed, continue their local efforts and their central efforts. They may need a little patience—and it may be but very little—but conquer at some time they must; it is their scoffing and abusive opponents who are but reprieved for a time, but who must pay to jus tice the final penalty of political law. " Influence boroughs" will not be for ever thought the orna ments of our constitution any more than the old rotten boroughs were; and it will not be thought the perfection of electoral independence that a great landlord should bay or sell or inherit a hundred votes and a hundred farms together. A man's rights will emerge, and will enjoy equal consi deration, with the assumed rights of property ; and comparative poverty, however honest and intelligent, will not be treated electorally, as a crime. Perhaps opponents will point to the great variety of demands which different delegates would make on the Legislature. We do not see any variety beyond that which is a necessity of free intelli gence. Our complaint of the county dummies now returned by the landlords to the House of Commons, is that they have not intelligence enough to exhibit any variety. They are all as alike five pound notes. We do not wish a Reform Confe- rence to sink to that uniformity. The only 'diffe rence we can see in the opinions expressed, is the one which is always found in all assemblies—that between the men who are enthusiastic for a clear and well•detinea principle, ana inose who, while not unfavourable to the principle think chiefly of what can be done. The difference, in fact, between the men of theory, and the men of practice. The men who light the way, and those who use it. What has acquired the tech nical name of manhood suffrage has been acknow ledged by the profoundest thinkers, men,at whom no one can venture to sneer, as the natural and funda mental basis of free constitutions—the approaches towards it of a "rating suffrage," or "household suffrage," or a £6 suffrage, are all but the attempts of practical men to adjust pure theory to the con ditions of the case. Some of those who desire modification of sound theory, laying more stress on the present unfitness of many for the franchase ; others on the impossibility of wresting more from the aristocracy, which holds the majority of the present electors =- or rather of the members they can make them vote for—in their hands. Unscru pulous men, of course, will misrepresent the differ ences we refer to, though to us they are indicative of life. And of one thing we may be quite sure, that all will willingly accept whatever the combined efforts of all can obtain. On one point there was entire unanimity—that which formed the subject of the evening's soiree —the Ballot. No one doubted the utility and the necessity of that. Practical men and theorists were here perfectly at one. Those who would use diffe rence of opinion in details, however unjustly, as an argument against the suffrage, to be consistent should accept the unanimity orlothe Ballot as in unanswerable argument in its favour. The argu ment is indeed very strong if we refer to expe rience, for in our Australian colonies, which succes sively adopted it, its good working in one was the cause of its unanimous adoption in others; and those who in the first case opposed it, have become perfectly satisfied with it as the means of securing political independence and the morality of elec- tions. The memorial adopted to Lord PALMER STON was very similar in purport to the letter to Liberal members, on which we recently commented. And the Premier and his party would be all the stronger in this country if they had the wisdom to listen to it. The Rifle Match, it is reported, is really, after after all, to come off between the Lords and Com mons some fine morning at Wimbledon. And cer tainly we can recognise no possible reason why it should not. It may still remain a moot point, it is true, whether Mr. Speaker and the Lord High Chancellorof England can confront each other, rifle in hand, without some slight derogation from their personal dignity, or without militating (literally) ~g aiust the gravity befitting the official position of each. However this may be in reference to the Right Hon. EVELYN DENISON and the noble and learned lord on the woolsack—it can scarcely be argued with anything like seriousness that there are recognisable any reasons why certain chosen clambers of the House of Lords, and certain other chosen members of the House of Commons should not—like any other men !—compete for a pr;ze by handling their rifles in front of a given target. Crack shots must of course be selected as skilfully as may be from among the most keen-eyed and steady handed marksmen in the Houses of Parliament. And already, it is intimated, there have been jotted down a select num ber of peers, including among the chosen names those of Lord EVERSLEY, the Marquis of ABERCORN, the Earl of DUCIE, the Earl BELMORE, Lord LURGAN, the Dake of MANCHESTER, Lord VERNON, Lord RADSTOCK, and Lord LYTTELTON. The selected names of the Commons comprise among them those of Lord HOLMESDALE, Mr. KNATCH BULL-HUGESSEN, Mr. WYNN, Lord ELCHO, the Earl GROSVENOR, Mr. CHARLES BUXTON, Mr. BENTINCK, and Mr. H. STURT. Others would, of course, before the match came off, be duly added to the foregoing. But already there is a goodly show enough of names " down," actually " booked," to render us somewhat eager to learn which is to be the day when the Lords and the Com mons are to have what Londoners would call their "outing," and, with that, what Cricketers would call their "innings," down upon the heath at Wim bledon. DEATH or MR. SLANEY, M.P.—We regret to announce the death of Mr. Slaney, M.P. for Shrewsbury, in his 71st year. Mr. Slaney was first returned for the borough in 1826, and, though with frequent intermissions, he continued to represent it. He was a Liberal in politics, but he was better known for his philanthropic exertions in favour of ameliorating the condition of the labouring poor. His death was caused by his accidentally falling through a gap in the floor of the Great Exhibition.' SYMPATHY WITH THE POPE.—Among the Roman Catholic bishops about to assemble at Rome at tho canonisation of the martyrs of Japan is Monsignore Pace Forno, Bishop of Malta and Archbishop of Rhodes. It is understood that ho will take this opportunity of presenting an address of sympathy to the Pope from the Maltese popu lation, A MAN KILLED WITH A SKITTLE BALL.—An inquest was held yesterday by Mr. G. S. Brent, at the Royal George, Ball's-pond, on the body of Thomas Robert Parish, aged 42. The dececoed was formerly a traveller, and an excellent linguist, but owing to reverses had latterly been potman" at the Mortimer Arms, Vest Hackney. A day or two ago he was setting up the pins for two respectable men, who mere amusing themselves by playing at skittles. While deceased was watching, one of the Players struck the wooden framework with the ball, causing it to rebound and give the deceased a heavy blow on the inside of the left thigh. The injury was treated lightly, but gangrene or mortification set in, producing death on Thursday last. The players were unknown, but as the deceased had told his wife that he had ample oppor tunity for getting out of the way, the jury returned a verdict of "Death from gangrene, through an accidental blow from a skittle ball," CRYSTAL PALACE.—ONE SHILLING DAY, Tues day, May 20 .—Adinissions on payment, 2,336 ; ditto by $O4Oll tickets, 010; total visitors, 2,940. 31/I,7IRSTPS TIIEITBE. IL TROVATORE. When Madame Pasta was once asked to lower her terms, on account of the state of her Mejesty's theatre, she replied," I ought to make them double, on account of the English climate." Catalani also remarked that England was about the last place a fine voice should be brought to, since it was pretty sure to be left there. The weather within this last week or two has certainly justified these strictures. A sun kot enough for July, and a wind cold enough for January, seem to have united their hostile forces simply for the sake of attacking the human 'windpipe. Our singers therefore, especially, are a groupe of sufferers just now. They have been seized by the throat as rudely as if they had been a gang of foreign house breakers. We are protectionists still in one thing. We import everything duty free but voices, and these we tax most heavily. Signor Gardoni at the one theatre, and Signor Armandi at the other, have recently illustrated the fact, and now, more unfortunately still for the gratification of all opera. goers, Signor Giuglini has succumbed to the surly spirit of our climate, and, after a week's cessation of his labours, has not recovered his voice suffi ciently to ensure a renewal of our enjoyment. On Saturday last his continued illness compelled a change of the performance, and last evening, shortly after the rising of the curtain, a gentle man stepped forward wita an apology accompanied by a medical certificate, to the effect that our popular tenor was wholly unfit to resume his duties. He was—to use a Byronism, 11l Trovatore, but too truly. Though this was an announcement for which the audience had some right to be prepared, it was no small trial of the composure of a very full and brilliant house. And accordingly the mitigation of the blow was very gratefully received, that in ' • -"---- °'—enr Guiglini would appear. ;Ind do his best to please his patrons, rather than entirely disappoint them. His entrance after this intimation was, as may readily be supposed, the signal for a very general and hearty demonstration. His first notes, however, convinced the audience of the truth of his position and the generosity of his endeavour. Only by very great exertion could he produce a sound at all, whilst the distinctive fea tures of his singing, his exquisite tenderness and sweetness were wholly lost in the one-governing necessity to be heard. It was only at the close of the third act, when, chafing at the fetters which had been so cruelly imposed on him, Signor Giuglini broke away, and by one tremendous effort gave the " Di quella pira," with a vigour and distinctness which restored all his best impressions. The effect of this rally was so electrical that he was recalled in the warmest manner, and by the entire voice of the house. For tuaately for the audience, Mdlle. Titiens had escaped the plague of atmosphere, and was never in finer voice or greater power than on this occasion. As the Leonora of the Trovatore is one of the charac ters which our incomparable prima donna has made her own—presenting it so perfect, whether in respect to its conception or its treatment, as to place it beyond criticism, we have no occasion now to do more than say that, save in her music with Manrico, the close of the first act—and that tenderest of love duets in the second, " L'ouda de Suoni," which was obliged to be omitted, she never sang or acted with more ardor, truth, and brilliancy. Her " Tacea La Notte" was as it was always, a perfect burst of vocal rapture ; and the entire music of the last act had all that variety as well as depth of passion which have made it so distinctive at her hands. The second feature of the evening was the appearance of Signora Trebelli, in the character of Azu cena. This young lady, a superb musician, and one whom Meyerbeer has pronounced to be an equally superb artist, has every mental quali fication for this most arduous assumption. Azucena, which is beyond all question Verdi's most original conception, and which Madlle. Csillag has so obviously and grandly interpreted as he intended, —as a being torn with the perpetual struggle of an evil and better nature, the vindictive spirit of her race, endeavouring to stifle, but at length subdued by the higher yearnings of the woman—obtains from Signora Trebeili a scarcely less successful rendering. Every dramatic point of the character she seizes with a vigour and precision that could hardly be surpassed. Pos sessed of thorough passion which shows itself as much in thesubtler and tendereras in the more vehe ment traits of the character; her expression, whether in singing, or acting, rose for the most part to all its needs. In this she had the great advantage of a highly expressive face, and an action that was bold and striking without sinking into the least excess. It is no abatement of her claims to say that she has not the grandeur or ideality of Mdlle. Csillag, because, it may be confidently asked at present, what other singer has. Her sole defect lies in her voice, which, however adapted to other characters, wants both the requisite depth and strength to paint with sufficient impressiveness the tortures of the gipsy mother. However, Signora Trebelli's was a performance which must establish her claims as an artist, and raise no trifling expectations of her success in other efforts. Signor Giraldoni was the Conte di Luna, and sang the music with spirit and feeling, though with scarcely sufficient tenderness, in the popular "Il balen " The o th er c h aracters were well sustaieed, whilst the band and chorus and general production were all that could be &sited. We trust this opera will be repeated when Signor Giuglini is re-established, when it cannot fail to become another of tue great impressions of the season. SIR RICHARD 13 ULKELEY'S STUD.—Yesterday (Tuesday) morning Old Calabar and the rest of Sir R Bulkeley's horses were removed from Thomas Stephcnson's, to finish their educeion under the able tuition of William Butler. A prospectus has been issued of the new joint stock bank projected for India under the title of the Bank of Hindustan, China, and Japan, with a capital of £1,000,000, in shares of £lOO each. Its claim to support is analogous to that preferred yesterday by the Union Bank of Ireland, and consists in the fact that there has been no I increase of banking facilities in connexion with the East in any degree commensurate with the growth and prosperity of that region. The existing banks have all for a con siderable period paid high dividends, and there is of course a good field for the new establishment, provided it pursues an equally prudent cystem of management. A prospectus bus been bLeued of the Worm caster Extension of the Cape Town Railway and Dock Company, with a capital of £OOO 000, in shares of £2O. The object at present is to undertake a preliminary survey, and 2s. per share is all that is required. Ultimately an ap.• plication will be made to the Colonial Government for a guarantee. The shareholders of the Cape Town Railway and Dock Company are to have a preference in the allotment. A prospectus has been issued of the Anglo-lonian Steam Navigation Company, with a capital of £50,000, in shares of £lO. The object is to maintain a regular and direct steam communication between London and the lonian Islands and Greece. The trade has already been carried on for a year by means of hired vessels with results which, it is sta ed, have proved the desirableness of con ducting it by steamers built expressly for the purpose.

ILLICIT DISTILLING IN NOTTINGHAM.—On Mon day morning, the 19th inst., an extensive illicit distillery was discovered in Great Alfred-street, Nottingham, by the police. The still was in full work, and, from the appear ance of the place, no doubt is entertained that large opera tions have been carried on for some time past, and the re venue defrauded to a considerable extent. appears that about two months ago a house was taken in Great Alfred street by a strange man, who paid the rent in advance. A large stock of coal was got into the premises, and, some suspicious -looking persons being seen to enter and leave the house, mostly at night, it was surmised that something wrong was going on. Those suspicions were communicated to the police, and Sergeant Lynch and police-constable Stevens went to the place with an officer of the Excise named Jones. They effected an entrance without opposi tion ; but the proprietor of the establishment had fled in alarm, without waistcoat, coat, or hat. A large still was found in full work, containing about 60 gallons of whisky, and the machinery employed was on the most extensive scale. The officers seized everything in the place, but the distiller could net be found, and up to yesterday evening ha hat not been laud of? m c). LATESI CONS - PANTINOPLE. MAY 20, (Evening).

It is a cause kept out of sight by an artful exaltation of foreign politics' to the place domestic politics ought to occupy, and by the fearfully costly expedient of filling the imaginations of the people with schemes for defence against friends and allies—but it is not a beaten cause.

NEW YORK, MAY 9 (Evening.) (Per North American, via Quebec and London- Eleven Confederate gunboats were destroyed. The Federal officer, Bailey, officially reports the capture by the Federals of New Orleans, and Forts Jackson, Philip, Livingstone, and Pike. He also reports the total destruction of the Con federate gunboats, steam-rams, iron-clad floating batteries, fire-rafts, obstructions, and chains. The Confederates, with their own hands, are stated to have destroyed cotton and shipping to the value of from 8,000,000 to 10,000,000 doll. The loss of the Federals amounts to 30 killed and 100 wounded. The Confederates lost 1,500 men. The way is clear, and all the Confederate de fences are destroyed from the Gulf to Baton Rouge, and probably to Memphis. The _Louisville Despatch reports that, along the Mississippi, from New Orleans to Memphis, there is a general bonfire of property, particularly of cotton. At Memphis sugar and molasses, in large quantities, were on the bluff ready to be rolled into the river, and all cotton was to be burnt. At the approach of the Federal fleet the people of the river towns retreated inland, destroying the property all along the southern tributaries of the Mississippi. Among their great number only one planter was found who objected to burn his cotton. A Yorktown despatch of the 7th says :—" After the evacuation of Williamsburg by tne Confede rates, General M'Clellan's forces pursued the Con federates eight miles beyond Williamsburg, as far as the Chickahominy river. The Confederates re treating across the Chickahominy destroyed all-the bridges. Gen. M'Clellan's forces rested on the left bank of the Chickahominy. Twenty thousand Fede ral troops under Gen. Franklin hare been landed at West Point, 20 miles above Williamsburg, at the head or York river. Another division of the Fede ral army has left for West Poiht. Unless the Con federates, after crossing the Chickahominy, were able to reach Richmond by way of the James river, it is supposed that the Federal forces which have been landed at West Point will be able to cut off entirely the retreat of the Confederates at Rich mond. The Federal iron-clad steamer Galena, with two gunboats, has started up the James river, to cut off the river communication of the Confederate army on the Chickahominy." The Monitor and several Federal gunboats have left Fort Monroe for Sewall's Point, which the Con federates have evacuated. It is rumoured that the Confederates have also evacuated Norfolk. Mr. Adams, the American Minister in London, has made a claim on the British Government for the restoration of the Emily St. Pierre. The Democratic party is again making a move to reconstitute its influence. In the House of Representatives a bill has been passed making Hilton Head, South Carolina, a port of entry. NEW YORK, MAY 10 (Evening), (Per North American, by telegraph to Father Point and from Londonderry.) .Reconnaissances of Federal iron-clad boats to Sewall's Point have established the fact that very few guns and men remained there. The Merrimac and Monitor approached each other several times, but no battle ensued.. The Federal steamers returned to Fort Monroe. Norfolk has not yet been evacuated. An engagement has occurred at West Point between General Franklin's lst division and the Confederates under General Lee. The Confederates were shelled by the Federal gun-boats and re. treated. General M'Clellan officially reports from Wil liamsburg on the 9th :—" I have effected a junction with Franklin's forces, and the troops aro in excellent condition. The Federal iron•clad steamer Galena was aground in James river, a little above Yorktown, it was supposed not badly. The main body of the Confederates have retreated across James river. The Confederates at Williamsburg appeared to be very short of provisions. Many soldiers captured had not tasted anything but bis cuit for 48 hours, acd were in a state of exhaus don." Nothing decisive is reported from the armi es of Generals HaHeck and Beauregard. The Federals are fast approaching Charleston and Savannah. Eleven thousand bales of cotton were burnt at New Orleans. - - Forts Jackson and Philip surrendered condi tionally that the officers should be allowed to retain their side arms, and the garrisons be permitted lo retire on parole.

Prince Napoleon has arrived and has been received with those honours which NN ere due to him as the advocate of the liberties of Italy, and as the son-in-law of her undisputed Sovereign. So early as 8 o'clock in the morning the two battalions of the National Guard chosen to do duty on the occasion were oa foot, the cavalry of the same body were displaying their really beautiful costume, and here and there Ministers or Court officers were to be seen fluttering about in their bright butterfly uniforms. The city itself was, however, indifferent ; there were no decorations in the streets, no flags hoisted ou the occasion except here and there over the doors or balconies of a French subject ; while, on the Bourse and other public places, all with whom I spoke alluded to the approaching visit simply as it had reference to their position as people of an united Italy, subjects of Victor Em manuel. Their speculations and anticipations, it must be confessed, were wild enough, but they were purely Italian in their character, they were not stained by the slightest tinge of French sentiment, and, though they were calculated to make the lis tener smile, they could not make the most appre hensive serious. Towards the afternoon, when people here take their airing, carriages and pe d,.t..;“ao began to assemble :in Santa Lucia, the best site for witnessing the expected spec tacle. The bay was as beautiful as it ever is, and as I described it last week, for on its glassy surface, now that the ?naestrale had died away, were reflected the tall ships, the fringe of white houses round the opposite coast, and the dark, sulky mountain behind them, and boats in great numbers seemed to delight in glancing over these unsubstantial forms. It was not until 5 o'clock that the French vessels dressed, and were quickly fol lowed by the British and Italian vessels in port. Shortly after the yards were manned, our men now wearing the blue jacket, not all in white as when Victor Emmanuel appears, and that great strong head, whoever he may be, standing on the truck of the Algiers. The sailors of the French vessels were all dressed in blue. The firing of guns from, the fort now announced the appearance of the Prince, and about 6 o'clock the Imperial yacht rounded the Fort of Castello Nuovo, and, instead of going into the Roy al Port, anchored just under nay windows in Santa Lucia, alongside the French vessels. You can conceive the thundering salutes which followed, though they were not so repeated, of course, as when the King entered. A fleet of small boats bearing the Italian flag, where they had any, thronged round the yacht, and almost impeded the passage of the Prince's barge; two other boats followed with the staff and the attendants of the Prince; and then the crowds drove and ran up to the Piazze. Plebiscite to get a view of his Majesty's guest as he entered the Palace. There were large numbers of people assem bled here, for the chance of a spectacle will always get together your lazy, curious Neapolitans, and the greetings were very cordial, but they proceeded from those close to the Palace, and did not extend to the whole crowd. The band, as the Prince drove up from the Arsenal and made his appearance in the Piazza, played, " Partant pour la Syrie," the National Guards presented arms, and the Royal car riage was soon lost within the Palace gates. The crowds, however, would not disperse until they had had their curiosity fully gratified, and began to clap their hands. After a delay of about a quarter of an hour, the large balcony windows in the centre were thrown open, and Victor Emmanuel, who was received with enthusiasm, came forward, leading his Imperial son-in-law by the hand, whom he pre sented to the people. Bows and clapping and vivas followed, and the Royal party then retired. The reports which I have received of the enthu siasm of the Calabrese in the short visit of the King to Reggio exceed anything which .1 have already given you. They cut off portions of the King's dress to preserve as relics, and in other ways gave signs of the most extraordinary enthusiasm. Let no one sneer at all this. Victor Emmanuel, it is true, was personally unknown to them, and has more the manners of the soldier than the courtier, but he represents a Power which has redeemed them from a despotism under which they have trembled and groaned for half a century, and they feel confidence, a feeling they never had before, in a man who has never violated his word. NAPLES, MAY 15. I have been watching, not with apprehension but with curiosity, during the last two or three days, for any indication of the existence of a French feeling, but I am utterly unable to discover any. Indeed, yesterday presented splendid opportunities for the manifestation of such a sentiment, if any there had been, and I have come to the conciueion that it would require Diogenes' lantern, with an electric light, to find out such a monstrt us abortion as a Muratist or a Napoleonist in Southern Italy. Years ago, as I have already stated, a French party did exist, when the Neapolitans were crushed to tho very dust by the Bourbons, but their hopes and wishes were those of desperate men who would have laid hold of anything or any one to save them from utter ruin ; now, however, there is -not only no French party, but not an individual with French sympathies, and the simplest allusion to the possi bility of Imperial intrigues in Southern Italy has often in wy presence awakened the strongest indig nation. My object in so writing is simply to define the position with precision, for hopes though falsely entertained will often produce great evil. T . ie only appeal that is ever made to France is in the form of a remonstrance against the continued occu pation of Rome by her troops. On this point there can be no mistake. I read it in the universal press, I hear it ire the Piazza and in the theatre, and in all public places and on every possible occasion France is invoked, by every consideration of public honour, of enlightened policy, and of enlarged benevolence, to withdraw her troops from Italy, and !eel e the Italians to do for themselves. This is all that we hear of France in Naples, and were it otherwise I would freely tell you. There is no diminution of warmth towards the King, nor was there any lack of courtesy to the Prince yesterday, but there was an evident desire to show that Victor Emmanuel, an Italian, alone reigns in the hearts of Italians. Gratitude is felt for foreign support, whencesoever it comes, but foreign inflaence in the form of control or interven tion is utterly abjured. Perhaps, too, there was a feeling of disappointment that the mountain has only produced a mouse, for thi s sangu i ne people have been indulging in the wildest hopes as to the communications to be made by his Imperial High ness. As nothing has yet transpieed there is a powerful reaction, and the glass is going down, down, down. Several of the French vessels have left to•day— several will remain. The Algiers and Neptune hNo gone out for a short cruise, and the former will probably go to CustelLituare next week for two or three days. Mr. Bonnlin has just been promoted to be Con sul-General—a stup !O9 long, th-ferred. THE AI.ANCIIESTER MtHIDEB.S.—The funeral of Mr. Evan MeLer, "the agent who was murdered by Taylor and his wife on Fri - iay last, took piece yesterday, when his terrains were interred in the graveyard of Ch,riton-clun- Hardy Church, about three links from Mends stet. .1 he funeral was very private, and did not att, act much observa tion.
