THE SUN LO AD N s TUESD.t. EVENING-, APRIL 29, 1861 THE CIVIL WAR IN AMERICA. QUEENSTOWN, SUNDAY NIGHT. The Cunard steamer Niagara, from Boston and Halifax, has arrived. She brings 55,000 dole. in specie. Her dates are to the 17th. On the 17th, between Halifax and Boston, she passed the Canada, bound west. On the 22d, in lat. 46.25, long. 41.06, she passed the British ship Bee, bound west. On the 23d, in lat. 47.25, long. 36.50, she passed a screw steamer, supposed to be the British Queen, bound west. In the Senate a petition, 700 feet long, signed by 15,000 women, praying for the abolition of slavery, was presented by Mr. Sumner. Petitions in refe rence to a bankrupt law and to taxation were also presented. The resolution of inquiry as to whether further legislation is necessary to enforce the article of war for preventing the reclamation of f ug iti ve slaves within the lines of the army, was taken up, and Mr. Grimes, of lowa, made a speech, in which he cited several cases in whin the article in ques tion had been violated. The Confiscation Bill was then considered, and Mr. Harris, of New York, made a speech advocating the principle of confiscating, with certain restrictions. During the proceedings Mr. Hale, of New Hampshire, tendered his resigna tion as Chairman of the Naval Committee. In the House the Select Committee on Gradual Emancipation in the Siaveholding States was an nounced by the Speaker. The House refused to make the Bankrupt Bill a special order, and post poned its consideration until the fourth Wednesday in December-67 to 50. The Senate resolution transferring the supervision of the Capitol Exten sion from the War to the Interior Department was passed. A bill for the construction of a ship canal from the Mississippi Ricer to Lake Michigan was reported from the Military Committee. Fort Pulaski has surrendered to the Federals. A despatch from Baltimore, dated the 15th, says:— "The Savannah Republican of the 12th announces the unconditional surrender of Fort Pulaski on the 11th inst. Seven large breaches were made in the walls by our batteries of Parrot guns at King's Landing, and all the barbette guns on that side and three casemate guns were dismounted. Three shot entered the magazine. Colonel Olmstead, the rebel commander, signalled, the day previous to the sur render, that our fire was so terrible that no human being could stand upon the parapet for even a mo men t." A despatch of the 14th, from Fortress Monroe, asserts that the same paper says, in substance— " It learns with deep regret that, after a gallant defence against superior guns, Fort Pulaski surren dered at 2 o'clock on the afternoon of the 11th. Cor poral Law, of the Pulaski Guards, who left Fort Thunderbolt after the Pulaski's flag was hauled down, brings intelligence of the event. The surrender was unconditional. Seven large breaches were made in the south wall by the Federal battery of light Par rot guns at King's Landing. All the barbette guns on that side were dismounted ; also three casemates leaving only one gun bearing on that point. Three balls entered the magazine, and a clean breach was made in it. The conical balls of the Parrott guns went clear through the walls at nearly every fire. Colonel Olmstead telegraphed on the previous even ing that no human being could stand upon the ram parts a single moment, and that thousands of large shells had exploded within the fort. The Republi can gives no particulars as to the number of men and officers in the fort at the time of its surrender, but says none were killed, but four wounded." The New .York, Evening Post says,—" A day be fore the surrender signals of distress were sent to Sa vannah. That palpitating city was warned of its com ing fate, and we can imagine that its people are now anything but in a pleasant frame of mind. Pulaski is about 18 miles from Savannah; the loss of it ex poses that city to the inroads of our gunboats ; and whatever its defences, it is quite impossible they should long resist an attacking force by land and river. Perhaps there is but one more important city in the South, which is New Orleans. It com mands an extensive system of railroads, no less than 13 in number, which ramify in all directions to the north, south, and west. As a centre of the cotton commerce of the Gulf States it is no less important. A half-million bales are annually shipped from that port. The river Savannah, it should be remembered also, is navigable to cur smaller gunboats as high up as Augusta, some 200 miles into the interior. From Savannah there is an easy approach to Charleston, to which attention is soon likely to be paid by Gen. Hunter's command." Fort Macon at the latest dates, which were from Newbern to the 11th and Hatteras to the 13th, were still held by the Confederates. The despatches say : " As all communication had been cut off from it both by land and water, it was expected the garri son would soon surrender. There are 500 rebel troops in the fort. Gen. Burnside had made exten sive preparations for the reduction of the fort, and his forces were still engaged in putting heavy guns in position when the Jersey Blue left Newbern. The bridge over the Neuse river, which was burned by the retreating rebels, had been completely re paired by our troops. The health of our troops con tinued good, and but few cases of fever and age had occurred." A report of Gen. Beauregard's death at the battle of Pittsburg Landing is obstinately persisted in, though the Southern papers publish a despatch from him claiming a victory on the second day's fi,„hting. From Fortress Monroe, under date the 13th, we have the following : " A Norfolk paper has been received here, contain ing a despatch from Beauregard in relation to the second day's fighting at Pittsburg Landing. He claims a complete victory, and says that after captur ing 36 of our guns and 8,000 prisoners, his force fell back upon his works at Corinth, which they are fully able to hold." An authorised despatch has been issued in reply to this, dated Baltimore, April 14. " In reference to Peauregard's despatch, alluded to above, inquiries have been made of the War De partment, and we are authorized to say that the reports from Pittsburg Landing, already given to the public, contradict the report in the Norfolk papers. All reports received at the War Depart ment confirm the statements that the enemy were routed and pursued as far as the previous orders of General Grant would permit, and the enemy are now shut up in Corinth." The following are the latest despatches from the South-West : " St. Louis, April 15. " General Halleck arrived at Pittsburg on Friday and immediately assumed command. " General Grant's official report estimates our loss at 1,500 killed and 3,500 wounded. The loss of the enemy in killed is greater than ours. Their dead were left on the foil. An estimate of their Wounded cannot be made, as many must have been sent to Corinth and other places. The loss i n our artillery force was great, many of the pieces being disabled by £ Lot, some losing all their horses and Many men. Not less than 200 h or ses were killed. "The rebel army has its headquarters at the foot of Pea Ridge, extendin g two miles from Corinth. Th u advanced Federal for tes are eight miles from Pittsburg, leaving only t wo miles b e t ween t h e op posing armies. A battle ma 3, be fought at any moment. We have the strongest assurances that our army is ready for the encount er. ,, It will be seen that the subjoined goes t o Con fi rm the fact of Beauregard being alive : " Cincinnati, April 1 5. " The Conznzercial says a reliable perso n , who left the battle-ground on Thursday evening, esti mates our loss in killed from 1,200 to 1,500 ; wounded, 3,500 to 4,000; missing 2,500. The rebels lost more killed than we did, and not so many wounded. Up to the time he left 2,200 rebels had been buried. Our troops retook on Monday all the batteries lost on Sunday, and 12 pieces from the rebels. The rebels were so confident of their ability to hold our camps taken on Sunday that, with a single exception, they did not destroy them. "Tuesday.—Beauregard sent a flag of truce, re questing permission to bury his dead, saying, Owing to the heavy reinforcements you received on Sunday night and Monday, and the fatigue of Pf my men, I deemed it prudent to retire and not renew the battle.' The permission was not granted. The bearer of the flag admitted that Beauregard had received a slight wound in the arm." A gunboat expedition had on the nil; ht of the 12th proceeded up the Tennessee river, to a point near Eastport, Mississippi, landed, and proceeding to Bear-creek bridge, destroyed the two bridges on the Mobile and Ohio Railroad. This is said to cut off all communication between the main body of the Confederates at Corinth with Alabama and the rest of the South, except New Orleans. The Committee of the Federal Congress who have charge of the conduct of the war, are to inquire into the surprise at Pittsburgh. With reference to Island No. 10, the Boston Journal has the following : " The rebel officers taken at Island Ten, say they had heard all about the famous canal by which they were circumvented, but did not believe it could be done. On surrendering the rebels appeared very chopfallen, though some of their officers were as bombastic as ever, one of them remarking, Well, I have been fighting all my life, bat its all over with me now. lam a prisoner, but gentlemen, you cannot subdue the South—just as sure as you live the next battle we will whale you to death. You can't whip the South.' After getting over their mortification a little, the officers said they had long been wishing to go North for their health, and were glad of the opportunity. The huge mortar shells made deep marks when they struck on the island. Holes, as if animals had bur rowed, are visible where the missiles fell without ex ploding, and large trees were broken like twigs. We have the following description of the rebel floating battery :—The hull is 180 ft. long and 60 wide, built like that of a large steamer, decked very strongly, and the guns all mounted along one side and ends. To counterbalance this great weight was a quantity of heavy ballast on the other side, and also the ammunition, with baggage, &c., of the crew. A most curious feature of the battery was two small engines below in the hold, intended to work a couple of pumps and fill at pleasure the affair with water. There was also, by way of cargo, 80 torpedoes, hundreds of sky rockets, a couple of electric batteries, and coils of submarine cable. The concern seemed only a large specimen of the thou sands of novel infernal and useless machines the rebels have favoured science with lately. " The task of driving the rebels from the batte ries they had erected on the Tennessee shore, to pre vent Gen. Pope from crossing the river, was splen didly executed by the gunboats Carondelet and Pitts burg. The earthworks were high and strong, located in excellent positions, but the accurate fire of our artillerists caused the rebels to beat a hasty retreat in almost every case." No movement of consequence has taken place before Yorktown. There has been some skirmish ing, in which the Federals claim the advantage. The roads are said to be very bad. A special cor respondent of the Tribune says : " Daring the cannonaiing for the first 10 days of the occupation of this place by our army not more than four or five guns were developed, and those of light artillery. This, however, is not the case now. We may infer for a certainty that large reinforce ments have since arrived, that more and heavier guns have been placed in position, and the works strengthened. Last night our pickets held a con versation with the rebel pickets on the other side of the Warwick River, not more than 150 ft. wide, in the course of which the fact of the arrival of rein forcements under Johnson was confirmed. Ido not understand, however, that even the best informed have anything trust worty concerning the strength of the enemy. It is assumed to be large; the Ma nassas army in fact. An army never was stopped in a place with more objectionable features. The country, as it has presented itself since we have been here, is of little value to anybody. From its general flatness there is but little drainage, and the vast quantity of rain that has fallen during the last week lies on the surface. As a consequence the roads are bad beyond description. Empty teams, drawn by four mules, are frequently unable to get along. The chief occupation of the army thus far has been to make new roads, and more miles of cor duroy road have been made during the past week than I would dare to say for fear of being disbe lieved." A Yorktown letter of April 11, in the New Fork Post, remarks : " We seem to lie here in plain view, as if taunting the enemy, confident that his guns have no power to harm us. Certainly they have given us very little troLble thus far. Our line of pickets is snugly ensconced behind their rifle pits, within a few hun dred yards of the enemy's works. It is here that our sharpshooters so thoroughly annoy the rebels. The number of pickets is very large, as the enemy is constantly making feints and pretending to ad vance. He is bold and strong, but is met more than half way, and that most promptly. No inci dent of importance has occurred since the skirmish on the first day. That gave us the position we oc cupy. We are getting ready very fast for capturing the rebel works. General Porter went up in the balloon at 5 o'clock this morning, and when about 100 feet above the ground the rope anchoring the balloon broke, and the general sailed off south westerly toward Richmond. He was alone, but had sufficient calmness to pull the valve rope, and gra dually descended, reaching the ground in safety, about three miles from camp." The Merrimac has made no further sign. She remains off Craney Island, and there is said to be a cluster of tugs about her, which are constantly moving, while she is stationary. The conclusion drawn from that is that she is aground, The cor respondent of the Philadelphia Inquirer intimates that she is repairing damages sustained by the bursting of one of her own shells. He says : " It is supposed that the object of the enemy is to get by our batteries at the Fort and the Rip Raps, and go up to Yorktown and take part in the impor tant struggle now going on there. It is confidently believed that preparations have been made which will effectually dispose of the Merrimac in the fight which must soon come off. She manifested great re luctance to venture out of our trap, and it would have been the height of folly for the Monitor to have left the important point which she was set to watch. " 7 30 p.m.—At half-yast 3 o'clock the Merrimac changed the position she had occupied for several hours, and moved down toward the Monitor, until she reached a point about three miles distant, when she backed, and nearing the mouth of Hampton Creek, fired a shot at the Naugatuck and gunboat Octorara, which were lying in the bend opposite the hospital. The shot was returned by the Octorara, and some lively firing took place, 15 cr 20 shots being fired. Not only did the Octorara and Nauga tuck fire, but Nim's and Follett's batteries stationed between Hampton and the fortress made several excellent line shots. The shell from the Octorara fell short, but those of the Naugatuck were most beautifully aimed. The first one from their 120- pounder went over the Merrimac, a perfect line shot and fell into the water a quarter of a mile beyond; another fell short, but within a fourth of a mile of the rebel gunboats, while a third fell close to the foreign fleet, which, unfortunately, was somewhat in the way at that time. " When the Merrimac fired her third gun an un usual smoke arose from her port-hole, and the shell fell into the water not more than a mile beyond. This was evidanly an accident, and in a few mo• monts, it being then half-past 4, the Merrimac turned her bow toward Elizabeth River, and slowly steamed up, the other craft following her. It is believed by many that the gun on the Merrimac burst on the last discharge, as pieces of shell were seen to fall near the monster. The correspondence of the New York Tribune is to the same effect. "The second duel between the Merrimac and the Monitor was of brief duration. It came off on Friday afte rnoon at 15 m i nutes to 4. The Secessionist fleet flaunted a n d fluttered a b ou t f rom an ear l y h our i n morning the challenging and tempting the Monitor to quit her anchorage and go up into shallow water to en gage the b u ll y of her recent battle, while the Jamestown, Yorktown, and three other consorts should come down and rampage among the trans ports. The Merrimac's first gun, a challenge blank cartridge, was fired to leeward. The Stevens plated propeller Naugatuck replied with a shell. Fired in some excitement, and perhaps more inexperience, it burst short in the air. Her second shot, yet out of range, went over the Merrimac, and over all her five consorts, drawn up in line of battle. The Merrimac's second shot was a shell, which fell harmless at a dis. tance of two miles. The third shot, a shell fired from an immense gun made at the Tredegar Works, and said to be a 300 -pounder, burst within the gun and exploded the piece inside of the port. The pieces of the gun and shell were seen to sprinkle the water, and smoke ascended from the covering over the deck. The explosion was supposed to have been deadly and damaging, for the Merrimac withdrew from the ring, and slowly went Norfolk-ward. The Yorktown and her four consorts lay quietly in their positions for about two hours; then two of them suddenly went off, and made straight for two her maphrodite brigs and one polacca at anchor near the Hampton Seminary, and took and carried them off. The latter was loaded with sutlers' goods, the pro perty of two Jews, who were unamiably suspected of a design to have their vessel captured, for they were taken with her. Her cargo was worth 6,000 dols. One of the brigs was loaded with hay. Her owner stcod on the dock and saw her captured, and looked on his instant and utter ruin. A purse was made up for him. The other brig was loaded with beef. Both vessels had been removed abreast of the Seminary for safety out of reach of the fire of the combatants. The two French steam frigates moved from their anchorage and took up a position near the English ship Rinaldo. While there the rebel vessels were seen to range near and to speak them, and, from appearances, dialogues took place between the rebel and the French and English captains. The Naugatuck got aground just as the Yorktown and Jamestown and consorts made a dash at the brigs and palaces, otherwise she would certainly have saved them, and have sunk two or more of her adversaries." There has been some firing between Confederate batteries and Federal steamers in the York river. A letter from Washington of the 15th says— " The Yankee went about eight miles up the York river on Sunday night, and anchored off Glocester Point, where the steamers Penobscot, Marble Heart, and Wachusett were already lying. The rebel batteries at the Point, which are said to be very extensive, mounting mostly 100-pounder rifled guns, tried the range of their guns at the steamers about 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, the shot falling very little short of the Marble Heart. The vessel then dropped down the river, and about three miles be low the Point discovered a party of rebels building a battery on the north bank, on whom the Yan kee opened fire at a distance of three-quarters of a mile. The rebels seemed loth to abandon their works, and although the shells of the Yankee fell in their midst, they did not leave the vicinity ; but took refuge in the woods, and behind some neigh bouring log houses. The Yankee, after firing some 60 or 70 shot and shell during an hour and a half, left the scene, the other boats having come up to do their share. As the Yankee was leaving the boats of the Marble Heart were on the way to the shore to burn the houses, behind which the rebels had taken refuge, During the engagement a bat tery up the river fired some eight or ten shots, but they fell far short of their mark. The guns in the batteries at Glocester Point are said to be only in a position to reach vessels below them in the middle of the river, and light draught vessels can approach within a short distance of the Point with safety by hugging the shore." The Federal journals represent the condition of New Orleans as being most miserable. The Cincinnati Commercial says— "A foreign resident of New Orleans, who lately passed through this city on his way to Europe, gave very interesting details of the condition of . . things in the Crescent city and in the rebel army. From his position as a foreign subject he had supe rior opportunities for obtaining information, and doubtless was less biassed in forming opinions than persons interested on either side of our great con test. New Orleans he represented to be in a very distressed and only partially defended condition. Foreign residents of wealth were despairing of the restoration of trade, and, so far as possible, had already left, or were prepazing to go, most of them leaving either for the West Indies or Europe. The banks were abundantly supplied with specie— about 18,000,000 dols., but there was scarcely any in circulation, and Confederate money was only worth 40c. on the dollar. Every hope of protection against the Union army, as well there as through o'it the South-West, was hung upon the army con centrating at Corinth, and consequently all avail able war material, particularly in the way of men, was sent thither. .A company comprising leading prominent merchants, bank officers, presidents of insurance companies, &c., had been formed and sent to Corinth, mainly to aid in stimulating others to go. The Vigilance Committee impressed men without hesitation, taking them at any time and from any place. Leaving New Orleans less than a fortnight ago, this gentleman proceeded to Corinth, and learned much from his personal observation of the army there, and of its intended march upon our forces. The force assembled was about 130,000 men, a large number of whom were sick and ill provided, because recently recruited." A Richmond paper contains an article intimating that the Monitor, Naugatuck, and Galena, all ar moured vessels, might come up the James River, and by their invulnerability and powerful guns take and keep possession of the city, and proposes that the channel of James River may be obstructed by stone at once. The Herald's Washington despatch states that the steamer Jacob Bell visited Aquia Creek on Friday, and found the water battery there abandoned, the wharf destroyed, railroad track torn up, rails carried away, and guns and stores removed, but the railroad depot and rebel quarters were standing. She also visited another creek, where a large rebel water battery was discovered with another on the hill in the rear. An attempt was made to attack these batteries. Several contrabands communicated with the steamer, stating that the rebels had left Fredericksburg without destroying the bridge. There are rumours in the American papers that, owing to the recent successes of the Federals, the Emperor of the French would cease to recognise the Southerns as belligerents, and that England would follow his example. The Evening Post dis- credits the report. In reply to the Committee of tho Freedman's Association, the President has said : " I am entirely satisfied that no man who becomes for tko time free within the Amex ican lines will over bo re-enslaved. Rather than have it so I would give up and abdicate," The St. Louis Republican says that Capt. Hollins of the Confederate navy was captured at Island No. 10, and is expected in that city soon. Cotton was more sought after at New York on the 15th at uniform rates. Flour was freely offered, and prices again declined sc. to 10c. per barrel, yet the demand was very moderate. No important movements occurred in wheat. Corn was dull and heavy. Rye Was in fair request. Groceries were less active, as wore also whisky and the principal kinds of provisions. Metals were quiet. Limited transactions were reported in hay, hops, oils, seeds, tobacco, and naval stores. The freight engagements were restricted. The New York Evening Post has the following in reference to the Tax Bill :-- "The committee in Congress have, we think, estimated for too small a sum to meet the exigencies of the times-- Viz. :- Dols. For the Customs duties For direct tax .. .. For internal taxes . i .. 3 , 5,000,000 .. 12,000,000 .. 103,000,000 150,000,000 These figures aro on too small a scale. With Governmental expenditures at the rate of 600,000,000 dols. or 700,000,000 dols. annually, the banks exhausted and unable to aid the Treasury further, and private capital no longer available to any large extent, it seems to us that the taxation schedule should contemplate the raising of at least one half the amount of Government expenses by direct and in direct taxation. The British Government with a smaller population than our own, gets without difficulty 70,000,000 sterling, or 350 ,000,000 dols, annually, only one-third of which is from the tariff. And this has been done for many years past. Certainly our people should submit for one or two or three years to a similar draught upon their resources. After the war shall be ended, and the annual expenditure reduced to that of a peace establishment, say 120,000,000 to 150,000,000 dols., we may come dos - ,n to reduced taxa tion. But we want now a system whereby at least 300,000,000 dols, can ba raised for the year, The report of the American Geographical and Statistical Society (pre pared by Messrs. Poor, Homans, Gould, Waddell, and Russell), added to the report to the Boston Board of Trade, shows how this can be done without being a burden—viz.:— Dols. An excise of 2c. per lb. on cotton (instead of lc.), say on 3,000,000 bales .. 24,000,000 On tobacco, 20c. per lb.. .. 30,000,000 On sugar.. .. 9,000,000 Ono per cent. on sales of merchandise, agri cultural products, &c. (estimated by the Boston committee at 103,250,000 dols.) .. 103,250,000 Stamps on commercial paper, estimated at 10,000,000,030 dols, (1-10th of one per cent.) annually 10,000,000 Tax on tonnage, 1 dol, per ton annually .. 5,000,000 On spirits, 100,000,000 gallons .. .. 15,000,000 On ale, beer, malt liquors, &c., 4,000,000 brls. 4,000,000 Receipts of railroads, ferries, omnibuses, steamboats, 5 per cent. Petroleum and coal oil.. Licences of all kinds .. .. •• Tax on live stock Tax on ads; ertisements, 5 per cent. .. Custom-house duties .. .. Direct tax .. 110 •11 5,000,000 2,500,000 .. 20,000,000 30 000 • • , ,000 3,000,000 260,000,000 .. 40,000 ; 000 .. 12,000,000 312,000,000 Tho principal item, 103,000,000 dols., the Boston committee urge can be collected through stamps, and this will thus cost but little to collect. The committee say : " Under this plan it is proposed that every person or company, subject to taxes in any form under the act shall make periodical returns of the amount of business (subject to tax) which has been done by them, and shall make pay ment of said tax by affirming to their returns stamps of th. required value.' " The Boston report is signed by Messrs. E. E. Bigelow, Thomas Lamb, and Charles G. Nazro. The process by which Mr. Bigelow arrives at the sum stated as the bulk of sales of merchandise and produce as this : Dols. Aggregate value of domest!c products of tho country .. • • • • • • Add foreign imports .. .. • • .. 2,600,000,000 .. 350,000,000 Totally aunually .. 2,u0u,000,000 " Assuming that these are sold (on an average) three and a half times before they reach the consumer, the total an nual amount of sala would be 10,325,000 000 dols." THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION. Already the arrangements, or rather disarrange ments, in the order of the opening ceremonial, have begun, and will continue, we expect, at short inter vals, until about half an hour before the doors are opened on the Ist of May. Yesterday morning, at the earliest hour at which it was possible to com mence work in the building, it was decided to re move the wooden framework of the throne, which is hereafter to be draped with crimson velvet. This state canopy has, during the short time it has been in existence, stood on the north side of the nave, midway between the English and foreign divisions of the building, but yesterday it was decided to pull it down and place it under the western dome. On the very spot where it has been determined to erect it the beautiful porcelain works from the Royal Berlin factory had been most admirably arranged, but of course all these details have been swept away, and the throne yesterday evening was for the second time being put together. Of course, this change necessitates delay in some department or the other, but now that the labour is infinitely subdivided such an amount of work is accomplished in a few hours as, if only applied a short time ago, would have got the whole building into perfect order long before this. We by no means intend this remark to refer to Messrs. Kelk and Lucas. They have always been in time with what they under took to do, and but for their unremitting diligence the building would now be in an almost hope less state of confusion as far even as regards the mere work. Another alteration which has been made in the official programme is, we are glad to say, an extension of the time during which the public will be admitted. The hour fixed for the procession has also been changed from 2 to 1 o'clock, and the building consequently will be open to the public from half-past 10 till half-past 12. But with the utmost deference, we cannot help thinking that the additional half-hour for the admission of visitors will not be found sufficient for the entry of all who are certain to be present on the Ist. The calcula• tions have no doubt been carefully made, and based, we think, upon the number of persons that can pass through a turnstile in a given time ; but there wil,l be a wide difference between these numbers and the numbers that actually will do so on Thursday. One has only to drive along the Brompton-road now to at once understand what the block of carriages will be, and this will be one important source of delay. Another will not improbably arise, from the ascer tained fact that ladies have not always their season tickets at hand at the precise moment when it is necessary to show them. Instead of 3,000 going through a turnstile in a given time the number is likely to be short of 1,000; and as far as regards what has to be done in the interior, it will certainly be as ready for the reception of visitors at 10 as at half.past 10. The plain rule to be followed should be to avoid anything like an approach to a crowd of visitors at the doors. If this is allo wed to occur there must be an amount of confusion and inconvenience when the doors are opened which is sure to cause the deepest dissatisfaction, and if ladies and gentle men choose to come as early even as 9 they ought to be admitted as they arrive. Among other great celebrities who are coming to the opening are the three Japanese Ambassadors— namely, the chief Minister, "Take No Ouchi Shim odzake No Kami ;" the second Minister, " Matsu dairu Iwami No Kami;" and the third Minister, " Kcogoku Noto No Kami." Evidently " No Kami" is as common a surname with the Japanese as Smith with us, or the Embassy must be a family concern altogether. Already the demand for season tickets is so large that notices have been issued requesting that purchasers will have their names ready written on slips of paper in order to facilitate the labour of the clerks, while at the building itself it is seriously proposed to issue them out of the window of the office into the Cromwell-road, as the stairs are blocked with applicants all day. Upwards of £2,000 worth of tickets were sold yesterday at Exeter-hall alone. On Thursday no tickets will be passed which have not the names of the owners written upon them in ink. Foreseeing the demand for season tickets now springing up, the Sacred Harmonic Society applied to the officers of the commission late on Saturday night for a further supply of from £7,000 to £lO,OOO worth, which of course were immediately supplied. The lower hall at Exeter-hall is engaged as a tic ket-office, and will be open from 10 o'clock in the morning. The International Commissioners have called to their aid the stewards of the Handel Festival. A considerable number of these gentlemen and others have, under the direction of Mr. Davis Sims and Mr. 'Vithall, undertaken to officiate as stewards for the reserved seats. The great rehearsal of the instrumental music for the opening took place this forenoon, under the direction of Mr. Costa, in the large hall, Exeter hall. It is singular that exactly the same rumour should have got abroad now as was circulated before the opening in 1 851 —namely, that after the formal opening the building will be closed to the public for a fortnight, to allow the contents to be more carefully arranged. Of course, there is not the remotest foundation for this report. The building will be opened on Thursday next, and, except on Sundays, will not be closed to the public till the 15th of October, on the evening of which day it will be shut for ever. The idea of closing it for a fortnight after the opening is simply absurd, as what remains now to do is merely matter of arrange ' ment, which will certainly be nearly all completed before Saturday next. The French Court is mak ing immense progress towards final adjustment, and the other foreign countries are almost ready. The Roman Court is"quite complete, and, as might be expected, it contains the great gems of art in the building. In addition to the two superb figures by the American artist Mr. Story, which we mentioned yesterday, other groups have since been placed. The most beautiful of these are a boy and girl dancing, by the ablest and most fertile of Italian sculptors of the present day, M. Benzoni. It seems impossible to exceed the lightness, grace, and action which are here imparted to the forms. There is a " go" aboat them, to use a homely but in this case expressive term, which we have seldom seen before In marble groups. Another American artist, Mr. Mozier, also sends one or two fine figures, though much be hind those of his fellow-ccuntryman Mr. Storey. Cardinal Antonelli has sent a most superb casket, in which the rarest of his fine collection of minerals and precious stones are kept when at Rome, and the Pope sends some noble mosaics from the Vatican. The Court also is filled with vases and columns in rosso-antico, Egyptian alabaster, lapis-lazuli, pic tures, carved woodwork, and inlaid mosaic tables of the richest, most artistic, and most costly descrip tion. For pure works of art no main portion of the building of the same size can at all compete with the contents of the Roman Court. THE YELTIERTON MARRIAGE CASE. TIIELWALL V. YELVERTON. In the Court of Common Pleas, Dublin, judgment was delivered yesterday on the motion on behalf of the defendant to have the bill of exceptions amended, by striking out of it the answers of the jury in re ference to the Scotch and Irish marriages. The Chief Justice, after some preliminary obser vations, said it was the opinion of the majority of the court, when a judge on his responsibility signed a:bill of exceptions, and by so signing it made it as his, the court had no jurisdiction to alter what he had so made his—that if the party object in any way to it another course is open to them. No case had been cited in which what was required by the motion had been don.. Some case was cited in which, according to the report, without taking the trouble of going before the judge, the court made an order to amend , a clerical error, assuming that the judge would have no objection ; but there was no case to show that the judge, having framed the bill of exceptions in a particular way, that the court would alter what he had made himself responsible for. But, then, there was another question—whe ther, if the court had jurisdiction to interfere, the present case was one in which they should do so, assuming that they had a right to make the altera tion without consulting the judge. The majority of the court on this point also thought that it was not such a case as that they should exercise such a jurisdiction, assuming that they possessed it. The ground upon which the application was made was, there was no instance of a finding like that in the present case having been introduced on the record. The case of Davis v. Lownes, which had been cited, was a different case from one in which the judge, in the presence of the parties, by his own act, actually requires the jury to answer certain questions, the par ties being aware that these answers were recorded. His lordship then referred to a case reported in 2d Meeson and Welsby, 194, in which this was done with the concurrence of a court of the highest au thority. It occurred to him that he was right in having these findings on the record, and that it was not for him to decide summarily (from which de cision there could be no appeal), what was the effect of the findings of the jury upon those matters, which though collateral, were pointed to the merits of the case; and, therefore, it was that the majority of the court thought, even if they had jurisdiction to make the amendment, that it should not be used. As to what might be the effect of leaving these mat ters on the record he altogether abstained from de ciding—that question had not been argued before them. If, on the argument, it became material to consider the effect of them, it would be then for them to consider whether they were bound to dis pose of this case as if they were not on the record ; or that being there, admittedly a true account of what did occur at the trial, the court may have the power of having regard to them ; but they did not offer any opinion at present on that point. The re sult would be that there would be " no rule" on the motion. Mr. Justice Ball concurred entirely in the judg ment of the Chief Justice, but he wished to add that he reserved to himself the consideration of the effect of leaving these findings on the record. Mr. Justice Christian said, though he did not dis sent from what had been stated by the Chief Justice and Mr. Justice Ball, and in the conclusions to which they, with Mr. Justice Keogh, had arrived as to which should be the order to be made, namely, that the motion should net be granted, there were some views thrown out by the Chief Justice with which he felt unable to go along, and there was one question of great importance in which he had the misfortune to entertain a contrary opinion. He was of opinion that the court had full jurisdiction to en tertain the motion and to expunge the matter if they thought proper. He did not propose to go in any detail into his reasons for holding this opinion ; but he should state a few of them, because this was a question which possessed a bearing and applica tion beyond the limits of this particular case, and might be of importance hereafter for the guidance of those who would have to sit at Nisi Prins; and when he felt himself under the necessity of dissent ing he should assign some reasons. Ile thought there was a broadly-marked distinction between this case and all in which it had been held that the judge of assize is supreme as regarded the postea and the bill of exceptions, and that the court cannot control or alter what he has done. It would be found, without exception, that in every one of these cases the judge had confined himself strictly within his proper office and functions, as such. These were to try the issues sent to him upon the record, and to return to the court above the verdict of the jury upon those issues. With whatever he sent to the court, with respect to that the court could do no thing except at his hands. It was from the judge alone that the court could derive the knowledge of what the verdict was : whether it was a verdict which went upon all the counts of the declaration generally, or upon some of them only, what were the damages, what particular evidence was given or rejected—what particular directions were given, and what objections were taken. In all these cases ' it was from the judge the court alone derived its information, and in no case had the court any right to alter any of the information so supplied, whether given in the shape of a bill of exceptions. No doubt cases of nicety arose sometimes as to how the ver dict should be entered, and the judge frequently in such cases referred the matter to the court, that was—he asked the assistance of the court; who, assisting him, were confined to the information which he supplied. But if a judge thought proper to adopt a course which he would not say was without precedent, but a course unquestionably highly novel and exceptional (and here he would make this observation, that, though this case hap pened to be tried by the chief member of their own court, every one of whose opinions had the weight of predominance which they habitually ascribed to them here, and which, he would take the liberty of saying, they were so pre-eminently entitled to both here and elsewhere), that should make no dif ference in determining this case, which should be considered as if it had been tried before the assizes, and not by a judge belonging to the superior bench at all, Supposing, as he had said, that such a judge took upon himself to put in the postea questions w hich did not come to him on the nisi prius record. Supposing he put the opinions of the jury upon other questions, he did a thing which might be right or wrong, which might be highly com mendable or the reverse, which the Court might approve or disapprove of, all he said was that it was that it was impossible to hold that the Court was under the same disability in dealing with that ex traneous matter thus introduced gratuitously and officiously—he did not use the word in any offen- sive sense. Th© distinction between the tv;o cases was obvious. In the one case, where the judge acts simply upon the nisi prius record, no question could arise as to the propriety of his doing what he had done, because the law obliged him to do it ; but the moment it was shown to be the judge's own volun tary act, the clear right of the Court was shown to consider the propriety of what he had done. The issue in the nisi prius record in this case was, whether at the time, when certain necessaries were supplied, the lady was the wife of the defendant. It was no part of that issue to find the validity of any particular marriage; it was no part of it to find the time ; the issue was simply, was she his wife when the necessaries were supplied? There was evidence of a -contract in Scotland and of a ceremony in Ire land, and also the cohabitation, reputation, and the holding out of the lady as his wife. After some further observations, his lordship expressed his con currence in the opinion of the other members of the Court that the motion should be refused. The motion was refused accordingly. THE GREAT BOBBRRY OFJETVELLE_RF IN COI?NlIILL. George Ellis was yesterday again placed at the bar of the Mansion 'house before Mr. Alderman Rose (who sat for the Lord Mayor), in custody of Hug gett, one of the detective officers of tha City police, charged with being concerned with others unknown in stealing a large quantity of watches and jewel lery, to the value of about £4,000, from the shop of his master, Mr. Dodd, jeweller, Cornhill. Mr. Mullens appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Lewis, jun., appeared for the prisoner. From the evidence adduced on the last examina tion it appeared that the prisoner was employed by Mr. Dodd as porter, end he slept in the house. Oa the evening of the 11th March last Mr. Dodd and his family went out, and did not return until after 12 o'clock at night, and in the course of the evening the only assistant who slept in the house went out also, and did not return until half-past 11. The only persons left in the house were the prisoner and a female servant. Before leaving, Mr. Williams, the assistant, secured the shop, and when he returned he found the fasten ings apparently in the same state as when he went out, and when Mr. Dodd returned he found every thing apparently secure. A little before six on the morning of the 12th, however, Mr. Dodd was aroused by a violent ringing at the bell by the policeman. The fastenings of the shop seemed to be secure, but on going into the shop it was found that it had been stripped of almost everything that was portable. It was found that the panel of the stall board had been cat at the top and bottom and at one end, and the end that had been cut was pushed in about two inches, which attracted the at tention of the the policeman as soon as it began to get light. It was contended, however, on the part of the prosecution, that no entry had been effected by the panel, as one end of it was still fast,but that the robbery was committed by or with the assist ance of some person in the houses and the only evidence against the prisoner was that on the night in question, shortly after the assistant went out, the prisoner went out without first telling the housemaid he was going, as, according to Mr. Dodd's instructions, he ought to have done ; and after that there was a ring at the bell, and the pri soner said it was some one for Mr. Williams; and further, that soon after he sent the servant to Bell yard to get a newspaper, and during her absence the prisoner was the only person left in the house. When the servant returned she remarked that some man was leaning against the grating of the shutter when she went out, and on her return he was still there. The prisoner remarked that some one had again been for Mr. Williams, and he supposed it was he who was waiting. It was supposed that while the prisoner was alone in the house he had let the parties in who had committed the robbery. Yesterday Elizabeth Clutterbuck, the house maid, was recalled, and stated—On the evening of the 11th of March, before she went out for the newspaper, the prisoner asked her if she knew where her master and mistress had gone to. She said she did not know, and he asked her if they would be home to supper, and she told him they would not. He then asked if Miss Moody (Mrs. Dodd's sister) would be home to supper, and she told him she did not think she would. On being cross-examined by Mr. Lewis, this witness said the prisoner had to clean the knives for supper, and if they were not coming home to supper he would have no need to clean them. He read the newspaper to her in the course of the evening. She had been for a newspaper for the prisoner before, and he had been left alone in the house on several previous.occasions. Some one did call in the course of the evening, and she heard the prisoner speaking, and beard him shut the door and put up the chain; but she did not hear what was said. The prisoner told her it was some one for Mr. Williams. As far as she knew, he was very careful in locking the gates. Upon being re-examined she said she had only been for a newspaper for the prisoner once before, and she had also been for some tobacco for him on one occasion. Mr. Dodd was then again examined, and said there was a grating in the shutter of his shop, through which the interior of the shop could be seen, and the gas was left burning all night. The part of the window-case next the door could be seen through the grating, but only a few inches of it. It was a practice that either ho o. his wife should look through the grating before they went in at night, and on the night in question Mrs. Dodd looked in while he opened the gates of the passage. The robbery was committed about five weeks ago, and the prisoner had been in his service since tin , til last week. He was in possession of the same facts five weeks ago as be was then, and the reason he had not had the prisoner apprehended before was that he was advised not to do so, otherwise he should have given him into custody before. He believed the prisoner had been watched, but ho did not know it for a fact. He had seen the police concerning the case, and had had conversations with them respecting the prisoner, but not as to his having been watched. He was not aware that any of the property had been traced to the pri soner. Mrs. Dodd was then called, and stated that on the night in question, when she returned home with Mr. Dodd, she looked through the grating. She could only see a portion of the window case, and that part was dressed as usual at that time. She saw it the next morning, and that part next the door was still in the same condition. Mr. Lewis put no question to this witness. James Barlow, police-constable 557, who was on duty in Cornhill on the night of the 11th March, stated that he looked through the grating of Mr. Dodd's shop several times during that night, but did not see anything to excite his suspicion. At about 20 minutes to six he noticed the panel of the stall board dislodged, and he immediately gave the alarm. Inspector Kelly and detective officer Monger were examined. It appeared that they had searched the house, and were of opinion that no entrance had been effected from the outside. A crowbar and a small keyhole saw were produced, which were found in the shop by Mr. Williams; but they said they could find no marks to correspond with the crowbar. Robert Johnson, a carpenter, was also called, and he said he had examined the panel, and was of opi nion that it had been sawn out, the first incision having been made with a knife, but he could not possibly say whether it had been sawn from the in side or outside. Mr. Mullens said that was all the evidence he was prepared to offer then, and he asked for a re mand in order to enable further inquiries to be made on the part of the prosecution. Mr. Lewis submitted on behalf of the prisoner that there was no evidence whatever against him to justify his being again remanded, and that he was honestly entitled to be discharged at once. He said the same facts were known to the prosecution five weeks ago, and yet he had not been appre hended u ntil ast week, and he was rather sur prised, after his apprehension had been delayed for five weeks, because the evidence was not sufficient, that Mr. Mullens should ask that the prisoner should be again remanded, with no other evidence than that which was in their pos session weeks before. The prisoner could be apprehended at any time if further evidence could be brought against him ; but he certainly thought that there then was not one tittle of evidence given which would justify his being detained any longer. The housemaid or the assistant might, in his opinion, just as well have been charged as the prisoner ; and he remarked that although the pri soner was charged with being concerned in a rob bery to the extent of £4,000 no money was found on him, and none of the articles had been traced to his possession ; nor had he been seen in bad com pany, although he had been continually watched by the police. As to the prisoner asking if his master and mistress were coming home to supper, that was easily accounted for, as he had to clean the knives, and if they were not coming home to sup per the knives would not be wanted, and he would have no need to clean them. The carpenter even could not say whether the panel had been cut in side or out; and a skilful housebreaker might have cut the panel from the outside and passed his nand through the aperture and withdrawn the bolts, and when the board was removed there would be an , easy access to the shop. Mr. Alderman Rose asked if it were possible to withdraw the bolts from the outside when the panel was open ? The carpenter said he thought it was. Mr. Mullens said there was a thumb-screw which went through the top of the board and the shutter, which would have to be unscrewed. Mr. Lewis said that likewise could be removed by a skilful man. _ Mr. Alderman Rose then asked Mr. Mullens if he had any reasonable ground for believing that he could adduce any further evid ence ? Mr. Mullens replied that Mr. Dodd bad received an anonymous communication , but it did not at all allude to the prisoner, although he was in hopes something might come out of it. Mr Alderman Rose said, taking all the circum stances in to consideration, he did not think th ere was sufficient to justify the prisoner being detained any longer. lie could be apprehended a ga in if any more evidence could be brought agai ns t hi m . The prisoner wa,3 then discharged. LOSS OF AN . .AIIIERICAN 8.112:P AND TIYELVE LIVES. Particulars have been received relative to the wreck of the American ship Thirty-nine States, which took pl.'Ce a few miles to the southward of Cape SyoPero, near Vigo, when twelve of the crew perished. Th e ii -fated ship was on a voyage irom Cardiff to Genoa, al.`cl on the 23th ult. sh e eneou tv tered a severe gale frk-nn .the we s t war d, w hi c h k e pt increasing, and carrieil away the most of the sails. Towards midnight it was dik.icovered that the ship was making much leeway and drifting on shore fast. The sea was running tremendously high, and es it was evident that the ship would strike, there be.ing : no room to wear her, Captain Carleton ordered tVa forward (long) boat to be h.mered, whi c h was g ot under the stern all safe. ..The command er then directed the hands to get inti. the boat, but they, fearing apparently that she would get stove against the ship's side by the heavy sea, hesitated in going into her. The captain, by way of .showing an example, th.n jumped into the boat with a rope, and was much hurt. This rope was then secured to the stern, ant. 7 several of the men came down by it, but a heavy sea - knocking the boat a little to sea ward, frightened .the remainder of the crew on board, and they reCnsed to let themselves down- The steward, who hall been endeavouring to obtain some food, then took to the boat, and the captain hailed the remainder o f the crew to leave, as the ship was then in the bre, %kers, and there was note moment to be lost. The unhappy creatures, how ever, could not be induced to',make off, and at length the boat was let go, and in the course of five minutes or so the ship struck and soon went to pieces, when all on board, twelve in number, perished. The boat had great difficulty in keeping mit of the breakers and being dashed ashore, and after nearly twelve hours' hard rowing the survivors ,31% fely landed on one of the Bayona Islands. Oa the following day the mates and consul visited the sot.'ne of cata strophe, and found the coast strewn with wreck, but no bodies. The ship was largely insured. THE BULL ION T_RA .21 7. ,•'.ACT10 A S OF -rig BANK OF ENGLAND FOR THE Y .ENDINtx 31st DECEMBER, 1861. (From the Morzeti Market Review.) By a return recently made to the House of Commons of the bullion bought and sold by the Bank of England from the 31st December, 1860, to the 3.lst December, 1861, it ap pears that, with the exception of the month of January, the purchases were largely in excess of the sales, thus accounting for the abundance of money. The explanation becomes still clearer if we are to believe that the excess of payments in coin remains in the country. It appears that the— Bar gold purchased by the Bank amounted to Foreign Coin ditto ditto 1,645,208 Total Bar Gold bought X11,790,095 1 , sold 693,102 Balance of bar gold bought £:1,096,993 The transactions in silver were as follow : Sold £1,824,928 Bought .... • Balance sold £1,113,82f If, then, the amount of silver sold be deducted from the gold bought, there will be a becalm of bullion bought by the Bank of England of £9,683,166. It would appear, however, that the Bank paid away large portion of this bar gold bought, in the shape of coin, for the excess of payments in coin amounted to £6,691,629. Consequently, if we deduct the excess of payments in coin from the balance of bullion bought, the balance remaining in the hands of the Bank, so far as the transactions of 1861 are concerned, amounted to £2,991,537. But the most in teresting question is—What has become of the £6,t391,62 9 , which the Bank paid away in the form of coin ? No doubt a considerable portion of it went to the United States, and the remainder is in the country forming an addition to our specie reserves, which may yet stand us in good stead. Last year the exchanges, especially those with America,. were against this country ; whereas now they are in our favour. It seems probable that, in spite of the foreign loans raised or threatened, bullion will continue to accumulate, and the money market remain in its pzesent easy condition,. Nothing can militate seriously against this prospect unless our capitalists entangle themselves imprudently in Oa gigantic Russian Loan, which is on the point of being brought forward.
