H. J. Von Santen, arrived off Cowes at 230 p.m., from New York, bringing advices of the 29th ult., three days later than those previously to hand. She had 36 passengers for this port and Ifavre,and 91 for Bremen ; and on freight 29,800 dols for Eng land, 176,600 dols for Havre, and 500 dols for Bre men, with 1,200 tons of merchandise, of which 70 is for England. The Hansa proceeded on to Bremen after transhipping mails, &c., for this port. On the 30th ult. the Hansa passed the steamship Caledonia at 1 30 a.m., and the City of Glasgow at 10 30 a.m., both bound from New York to England. The Glasgow steamer, from Liverpool, arrived out at New York on the 24th; the Hansa, from Southampton, at 4 p.m., on the 24th ; the Edin burgh, from Liverpool, on the 25th ; the China, from Liverpool, on the 26th ; and the Saxonia, from Southampton, on the evening of the 27th. The Saxonia was four days three hours in the ice, during which period she was in a position of great peril, and could make but very slow progress. She reports that she could only make three miles on the 22d, and during the four days a distance of about 200 miles only was made. It appears from the latest accounts from Fortress Monroe that the reported burning of the Nashville steamer by the Confederates at Beaufort and the later rumours of her 'having been captured by the Federals are alike untrue. She has once more made her escape, having succeeded in running out of Beaufort harbour on th e n i g ht o f th e 18 t h u l t., wifely passi ng the blockading steamer Cambridge and the sailing bark Gemsbok. The blockading vessels had news of the capture of Newbern, and were on the lookout for the Nashville, but they were not numerous enough to prevent her escape. The Gemsbok first saw the Nashville, and immedi ately telegraphed to the Cambridge that she was coming out. The Cambridge followed the Nashville and fired a number of shots at her with the hope of getting her into a fight, but the superior speed of the Nashville soon put her at a safe distance. Two of the shots from the Cambridge were supposed to have struck the. Nashville. It appears from the accounts received from the scene of action that there are three channels to guard, and on this occa sion but two vessels—the Cambridge and Gemsbok thellatter a sailing vessel—were there to perform the duty. The extreme distance between the mouths of the three channels is five miles. The Swash channel (by which the Nashville so success fully entered the harbour) ran the distance of only a third of a mile, when it connected with the main slip channel, whose mouth was at another point a few miles distant. The Gemsbok lay as near as she could, so as not to be in the range of Fort Macon, which is situate on Bogue Bank. The Bogue and Shackieford banks are sandy, and the main land is plainly visible over and beyond them. The depot wharf and buildings are situate on the swampy low land ; the Bogue banks, however, somewhat hide the view from the sea. The shoal grounds outside the three chan nels (or seaward) do not dry at low water, but are covered in the calmest weather with breakers along the whole extent. The purser of the Cambridge, which vessel arrived at Fortress Monroe on the 25th from Beaufort, gives the following account of the Nashville's escape : "'On the night of the 17th inst., the sky being very dark, the Cambridge and the Gemsbok were the only Union vessels blockading Beaufort. They were in constant anticipation that the Nashville would attempt to make her escape. Accordingly, the Cambridge took up a position to command one of the three channels leading from Beaufort to the sea. The Gemsbok guarded another, thus leaving one channel open. For several days prior, and on the night of the 17th inst., bright lookouts were kept for the Nashville, the Cambridge under a full head of steam all the time. At half-past 7 o'clock in the evening a rocket was sent up from the Gems bok—a preconcerted signal that the Nashville was coming. The crew of the Cambridge were imme diately beat to quarters. The Gemsbok soon after opened fire at the fugitive craft, firing several rounds. The officers on the Cambridge endea voured, but in vain, to see the object against which the Gemsbok was directing her fire. They therefore concluded to fire in the same direction the Gemsbok did. The Cambridge in a few minutes after slipped her anchor and steamed in the direction of the third and unguarded chan nel, hoping to cut the rebel craft off. But after some time the chase was given up, and the Cambridge returned to her original position. The Cambridge being the flagship, Captain Cavendy, of the Gemsbok, came on board and reported to Captain Parker. He said he distinguished the outline of the Nashville from first observing moving lights as the vessel progressed in her escape. The Nashville steamed very fast, and was soon out of range of the Gemsbok ; but Capt. Cavendy is positive that the shot from his vessel hit her several times, no doubt doing some damage. It was deemed futile by Capt. Parker, of the Cambridge, to give chase to the Nashville, as his vessel can steam only 8 knots an hour, while the Nashville, it is said, can steam 14 or 15. It is thought that the Nashville will go to Nassau, New Providence, there to be sold on the rebels' account. The barque Glen,which has been blockaded in the harbour of Beaufort for some time, was set on fire by the rebels on the 23d, and was still burning when the Cambridge left in the evening. The Glen was supposed to be fitting out as a privateer. The burn ing of this vessel was, doubtless, preparatory to an evacuation of the place. Fort Macon had not been blown up by the rebels at the last accounts. The barque Gemsbok and the steamer State of Georgia were left at the station by the Cambridge. The New York papers are very furious at the fact of the Nashville having again made her escape, and attack the Secretary of the Navy in unmeasured terms. Witness the following extracts from three of the journals. The New York Times says,— " The fact that, under the circumstances, this vessel was allowed to escape to sea is another of the long series of national disgraces which we owe, not to our navy, but to the administration of our Navy Department. They have followed each other in such quick succession that one has been forgotten only to make roam for another. It has become useless to lay complaints about the past before the Depart ment, and of no avail to attempt to put it on its guard against impending dangers in the future." Next comes the World : u T f h o e rt re h p a o r r b t o t u h r at i the e Na a s r h e v i i n ll e e li h n a e d d Bea ' e t s o ca b p e e li d ev f e ro , m a canard, invented by the enemies of the venerable and amiable gentleman who presides over the desti nies of the Navy Department. It is simply incre dible. The whole country is a witness to the fact that this dangerous steamer was in Beaufort har bour; and to charge the Navy D epartment with Placing one slow sailing vessel and one steamship not much faster as guard over her —one of the swiftest vessels of the kind ever built —is a clear case of scandal and defamation. Beside s , if i t were true, Mr. Lincoln would by this time have furnished the country with a new secretary of the Navy ; as this has not been done, we incline to the belief that the Nashville is still in Beaufort, or burnt perhaps." Thirdly, the Herald:— "What has Mr. Secretary Welles to say e When the rebel steamer Nashville ran into Beaufort some weeks ago, past our blockading ships, we all con cluded that that was the last of her. The means were in the possession of the Secretary of the Navy to prevent her escap e under any circumstan ces . How then is he to j ust i fy himself in perm i tt i ng that vessel again to run to sea P The Chamber of Com merce of New York could have provided against her escape, and would have done it, with the Pre sident's permission, had they supposed the duty would have been neglected by Mr. Welleo. W e Another fight was expected to take place imme diately between the Merrimac and the Monitor. The following despatches give the latest intelligence , received relative to the rival ironsides : " Baltimore, March 26. "The Fortress Monroe correspondent of the Bal timore American gives a report of two intelligent contrabands relative to the condition of the Merri mac. She returned to Norfolk leaky and six feet of water in her. Six steamers towed her up, and it was feared at first she would go down before extra pumps could be rigged on board to relieve her. Her fires were extinguished shortly after hauling off from the Monitor. These contrabands also positively assert not only the death of Bucha nan, but of the lieutenant in command on Sunday, with seven seamen, and a number of wounded. They positively assert the death and burial of both. Possibly Lieutenant Minor, her second officer, and not Jones, is meant by them. It is rumoured that Yorktowb, or a considerable portion of it, is burnt. A large fire was visible in that direction Sunday night, which was thought to be something more than burning brush. A large fire was also seen to day in the neighbourhood of NeW Market Bridge, which seemed to be quite extensive. Heavy volumes of smoke rose for several hours. It was beyond the Union lines, and its character could not be ascer tained. Forts Macon and Beaufort are still in pos session of the rebels. On Sunday night the S aw y er guns at the Rip Raps made som e cap it a l s h ots at Sewall's Point. Tuesday morning one shell, filled with new liquid fire, exploded in the midst of the rebel parade ground. It is believed it did consider: able damage. The rebels have brought the cannon heretofore commanding the channel at Sewall's Point around the point facing the Rip Raps. They fired at the Rip Raps, but the ball fell short about 50 yards. It was a good line shot, but the calibre was insufficient." " Fortress Monroe, March 26. "Contrabands state that the rebel steamer Mer rimac, having been fully repaired, was brought out of the dry dock on Monday morning ; that her crew had been placed on board, and that she was ready for action. Several new guns of a heavier metal than she had before had been placed on board of her. The rebel steamers Jamestown and Yorkt own a have also been greatly strengthened, and are fully prepared for action, and will accompany the Mer rimac.ac pennant, .The fig of the Yorktown , With the commo dore'swas flying when the con t ra b an d s left.

The Monitor, Lieut. Jeffries commander, stands out in the Roads and ready at a this side of Sewall's Point, with steam up, ready f or e a n c l t t i . on. sh T e h i e s g i r n ea fi te n s e t confidence is felt in th e re , moment's warning. The newspapers are carefully kept from the rebel soldiers, and they have been so often imposed upon by false statements of rebel vic tories that they are much dissatisfied. The deser- :ers say that during the excitement that prevailed in Norfolk immediately after the fall of Roanoke Island it was believed that if a demand had been made on General Huger he would have capitulated. A flag of truce was sent to Norfolk to take up the Commodore of the French ship Catinat. No news or papers were brought back. A bundle of letters from the Union prisoners at Richmond was received, as also despatches from General Huger to General Wool. The steamer Con stitution arrived from Ship island last night. She sailed from there on the 15th inst. The French steamer Catinat arrived yesterday afternoon from Havana, and she and the Gassendi have taken a position within 200 yards of the Monitor, for the purpose of obtaining a good view of the ex pected battle. Two drummers of one of the regi ments in Hampton strayed out to Back river yester day, and were taken prisoners by the enemy's cavalry." A despatch received at Washington from Fortress Monroe, dated 4 p.m. on the 27th, says : " There was a reconnaissance this morning ex tending to Big Bethel, which was occupied by about 1,500 rebels, who fled on the approach of our forces without any hostile demonstrations. Our troops now occupy the place." Two deserters from the Confederate army at Pig Point, James river, arrived in New York on the 28th. They are both natives of the State of New York, born in St. Lawrence county, and were en gaged in business in North Carolina, and shortly after the breaking out of the rebellion they were impressed into the Confederate service. These gen tlemen say that they were never at any time willing to fight against the Union, but under the circum stances in which they were placed they were compelled to join a regiment. They were at Pig Point on the occasion of the battle between the Merrimac and Monitor, and felt pained beyond measure when they saw the two frigates destroyed. The Merrimac on her return to Norfolk looked as if she had been very much used up, and evidently had the worst of the fight. At Norfolk and Richmond they say it was admitted that the Merrimac had found her match in the Monitor. The Confederate vessel was all ready to come out again, and when they left it was generally expected she would show herself within a very few days. The Southern troops were becoming more despondent e very day, and the Union sentiment of the army, especially among the North Carolina troops, was made mere evident daily. The Confederates had issued an order that the commander of each company should find out whether his men intended to re-enlist at the expiration of their term, and report to the commander thirty days in advance. This was for the purpose of preventing any diminu- to gen of the army. Every one who refused hich they e n li s t e d b e - re enlist would be impressed into the service, and the 25th o f M a y, an d orders had been given that no more passes should be granted, but that all the regiments should be kept tw t w o i le t le h en e o i tn r he f el u u2 l d l se q t ht u h o oe t f a tA . e rpm A r i l l f l oar t n h dw e "one-y ear " reg i ments nearly all of the regiments there are " one-yea r " volunteers.ortifications at The Confederates Point, so that it m i g h t b e made Were exten di ng the i r f to mount 40 guns of heavy calibre, being ten more than the work now mounts. There are seven forts Richmond, between Pig Point and Pig Point being the . principal one, garrisoned by about 18,000 men. They are well fed and cared for. At Norfolk every thing sold at a most unreasonable price. Salt had gone up to 25 cents per lb. Calicoes were 50 cents a yard, and very scarc e at that. As for flannel, it would bring almost any price. North Carolina could not supply her quota of troops. She was called upon to turn out 20,000 men for garrison purposes and 30,000 for th e field; but they found it utterly imposiible for thi s State to supply so many men, even by using the m os t str i ngent mea sures. Latest despatches from Island No. 10 do not indi cate much progress made. Heavy and rapid can nonading was heard in the direction of Point Plea indicating that the s c a o n n t fe odnertahteeattempting to run General Popes blockade. A balloon reconnaisance was made on the 27th by Professor Steiner, accom panied by Colonel Buford and Captain Maynadier, night steamersof the 26th, which established the fact that shells had been thrown at too great a range to be sufficiently effec tive against the Confederate batteries. This defect Ln mortar practice had since been remedied. We learn from the Lower Potomac that a cool • derable . b o d y of Confederate cavalry were still in the vicinity of Shipping Point, and that a large number of Confederate troops were concentrating on the Rappahannock, probably at Frederickburg, to make a stand there. Two boats' crews from the gunboat Yankee had landed at Shipping Point, to take possession of the artillery abandoned by the Confederates, but a squadron of their cavalry made its appearance, and the men only succeeded in securing two guns —one a 9-ineh Dahlgren and the other a long 32-pounder —together with a consider able quantity of shells, loaded and unloaded, A party of Texas Rangers was, on the 27th, sur rounded by two squadrons of the Ist New Jersey Cavalry, near Dumfries, on the Lower Potomac, and after a brief skirmish ten of them wore captured and taken to Washington. From Strasburg, where General Banks was sta tioned with a portion of his command, we learn that Jackson, with the remnants of his army, was quietly established below Edinburgh. A force of Confederates under Ashby, with four pieces of ar tillery, appeared near Strasburg on the 27th, and threw several shells into the Federal camp, killing one man and wounding another. Their position was such that they could not be cut off. Most of the population of Strasburg were represented to be Unionists. Many of them had for weeks been re siding in the mountains, but were returning, and from them General Banks gained much useful in formation. .. Arrangements were nearly completed for estab lishing a line of steamers between Washington and Fortress Monroe, so as to secure daily arrivals at Washington—the trip to be made in nine hours. The proprietor would extend facilities for carrying the mails, and it was more than probable that the Post-office and War Departments would encourage the enterprise. The divisions of Generals Franklin and King, of the Potomac army, were reviewed on the 27th by General M‘Do well— General M'Clellan, Lord Lyons, the Prince de Joinville, and several British officers of high rank from Canada, being present on the ground. The latter expressed themselves greatly surprised at the superior drill, stature, and disci. pline of the troops. Secretary Stanton had forwarded a highly comp/ mentary despatch to General Shields, thanking him and his troops for their victory at the battle of Winchester. He says that the wounds, as well as the success of General Shields, proved that the di vision of General Lander was still bravely led, and that wherever its standard was displayed the Con federates would be routed and pursued. Secretary Welles had addressed a letter to the Senate Committee on Naval Affairs, in which he proposes the construction of a few vessels of light draught, great speed, and heavy armament for the Western waters ; also a class of vessels for harbour defence, and to operate upon the Atlantic coast and in the Gulf of Mexico, to be as far as possible in vulnerable, and armed with 15-inch guns ; also an ocean steamer armed with guns of 20-inch calibre He asks an appropriation of 30,000,000 dole for these purposes. The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company an nounce that all the bridges on their road are com pleted, and that the last rail to re -connect Balti more, Washington, and the Eastern cities with the West would be laid on the 31st ult. The Secretary of the Treasury had issued special licences for commercial intercourse with certain localities in the South; the licences do not extend further than Nashville. No article shipped under the licence is to be disposed of to persons in arms against the United States, or to any persons fur nishing them aid and comfort; In the Senate on the 27th ult., several petitions in favour of the emancipation of slaves were pre sented. The Naval Committee were instructed to inquire whether there was any laxity on the part of the officers of the blockading squadron on the coast, especially at Charleston, and whether there was any foundation for the statement of th• Britisk Consul at that port that armed troop ships of the Confederate States have been allowed to go in and out of the port of Charles ton and no attempts have been made to stop them. The joint resolution in favour of extending pecu niary aid to the States that may emancipate their slaves was taken up, and Mr. Henderson, of Mis souri, made a speech in its favour. The Financial Committee reported a Bill to allow arms, ordered by the States to aid in suppressing the rebellion, to be imported free of duty. The Naval Appropria tion Bill was then taken up. Mr. Hale, from the Naval Committee, offered an amendment, appro priating 783,294 dols. for the completion of the Stevens floating battery. Debate ensued, but with out taking the question the Senate went into execu tive session, and subsequently adjourned. On the 28th, a bill to prevent the allowance of pensions to widows and children of Revolutionary soldiers, un less their claims are established, was passed. Mr. Wright, of Indiana, introduced another bill pro viding for the abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia. A motion to take up the resolution declaring that no more brigadier generals should be appointed, unless for gallantry in action, led to a discussion, in which it was stated that there were a less number of officers in the present army, in pro portion, than during the Mexican or Revolutionary war. .The motion was disagreed to. The Naval Appropriation Bill was then taken up, the question being on an amendment appropriating 783,294 dols. for the completion of the Stevens floating battery, which was adopted, with the condition that Mr. Stevens should not be repaid the money he had ex pended on the battery unless she proved successful, and also that the appropriation was not be used unless the Secretary of the Navy was of the opinion that it would secure to the public service an efficient steam battery. An amendment appropriating 13,000,000 dols. for the construction of iron-clad vessels of war was adopted ; also an amendment appropriating 250,000 dols. for casting heavy ord nance at the Washington Navy Yard. The bill was then passed, and the Senate adjourned. The House of Representatives was occupied on the 27th in discussing the Tax Bill in committee of the whole. Among the amendments adopted was one taxing anthracite coal 15 cents. per ton, and cotton 1 cent. per lb., after the Ist of May next. On the 28th the Naval Committee reported a joint re solution of thanks to Captain John Ericsson, for the enterprise, skill, energy, and tact displayed by him in constructing the iron-clad steamer Monitor, and the great service rendered by her to the country in Hampton Roads. The resolution was adopted. In answer to an inquiry, the chairman of the Com mittee on Invalid Pensions stated that a bill had already bean reported providing pensions on ac count of deceased officers and soldiers of the present war. The consideration of the Tax Bill was then resumed in Committee of the Whole, and a specified assessment levied upon gas, coal oil, ground mus tard, sugar, gunpowder, printing ink, &c. The tax upon crude coal oil, rock oil,and tar was struck out, and a reduction was made on coffee and certain de scriptions of tobacco; the tax on other varieties of tobacco was increased. The tax on iron was fixed at from 1 dol 50c to 2 dols per ton, according to its condition of manufacture. Ready made clothing, hats, caps, hoop skirts, &c., are taxed three per cent. ad valorem, and umbrellas and parasols five per cent. General Cadwallader was on the 28th nominated by the President as Major-General of Volunteers, and he was expected to take the field immediately. It is stated from Washington that cars were run ning to Manassas, and that the railroad was open four miles beyond that point. Advices from Havannah to the 22d ult, were re ceived at New York by the steamship Columbia. A letter of that date says,— "By the Forfait (French), five days from Vera Cruz, which came in on the lith, we hear that a frightful explosion has taken place within eight leagues of Orizaba, at a town where the Mexican THE NAVY. Our Malta correspondent, under date of the 6th inst., announces the departure from that island, on the 31st ult., of her Majesty's iron screw store ship Himalaya, Captain I. Seccombe, for Marseilles. Her Majesty's steam surveying vessel Firefly, Commander A. L, Mansell, left Malta on the Ist inst. for Alexandria, in order to resume her survey ing duties on the coast of Syria. Her Majesty's screw steam line-of-battle ship Marlborough, 131, Capt. W. H. Stewart, C. 8,, which had gone out for a cruise to exercise her crew at gunnery and sailing evolutions, returned into Malta harbour on the 2d inst., and resumed the flag of the Comman der-in-Chief, which had been temporarily hoisted on board the Neptune. Fears are entertained with respect to the safety of the screw steamer Wisbeach, which sailed early in the year with Government stores for Canada. A month has elapsed without any tidings having come to hand respecting the steamer, and therefore, unless the letters distributed to-day bring some intelligence respecting her, it will be only too probable that she has met with some serious disaster. The steamer is the property of Mr. R. Young, the Mayor of Wisbeach. The Royal Sovereign, converting to a shield-ship from a three-decker at Portsmouth, is expected to be placed in dock on Wednesday, where she will remain until her conversion at the hands of the shipwrights is completed. She has now 250 ship wrights employed upon her, besides coppersmiths, blacksmiths, and about 60 labourers. The ship's outer planking has been removed to the port-sills of her middle deck, which, when her conversion is completed, will become her upper deck, or the glacis covering her towers and shields. The greater part of the ship's internal fittings and tanks have been taken out, her poop has entirely disappeared, her upper deck beams are all out, and by the time she goes into dock but little will be left to remove above the line to which she is at present ordered to be cut down. She has been lightened to 20 feet draught of water. The Sealark, boys' training brig, at Portsmouth, has been taken into dock t o c l ean co pp er , & c ,, pre paratory to commencing her summer's cruising, for which sails have been bent and all necessary prepa rations made. The Rolla, training brig, arrived at Spithead on Saturday, from off Osborne, where she has been stationed to give his Royal Highness Prince Alfred practice on board, under the supervision of Lieut.- Commander C. G. Nelson. The Rolla returns to her anchorage off Osborne to-day. Mr. Cunningham, the inventor of the system of reefing sails from the deck, has brought out a plan for protecting the screw propeller from fouling, a danger to which all ships of war carrying sail power are liable in action when losing masts or spars, from their floating alongside. Mr. Cunning ham has fitted a small screw vessel on the plan, and has applied to the Lords of the Admiralty to fit one of her Majesty's ships to test the prineiple. The screw steamship Revenge, 73, Capt. Charles Fellowes, which arrived at Plymouth from Ports mouth on Tuesday, sent supernumeraries on board the Royal Adelaide, and went on Friday afternoon from the Sound into Hamoaze, to have some slight defects in her machinery made good. Rear-Adm ral Robert Smart, K.H., has not yet re-hoisted his flag on board, and it is uncertain whether he will do so now or after her arrival at Queenstown. The hired sailing transport Robinson commenced shipping 3,000 Armstrong shells and other war stores on Saturday from Woolwich Arsenal for Malta, The Prairie Flower, for Newfoundland, with powder and other war stores, has sailed from Wool wich for her destination. Five hundred mechanics and labourers were dis charged on Saturday from the manufacturing de partments of Woolwich Arsenal, being a portion of the 3,000 ordered to be reduced to meet the estimates granted for the financial year commenced on the Ist inst. In addition to the above-named perma nent discharges, the boring and rifling and other branches of the Royal gun factories have totally suspended operations since the commencement of the month, awaiting the issue of orders from the War Department ; consequently large numbers of the select artisans to be retained ou the establish ment are also out of work. The iron frigate Resistance, 18, 600-horse power, was completed, so far as the authorities at Chatham are concerned, on Saturday afternoon, and this morning will proceed to Sheerness, where she will be rigged and prepared for the steam reserve, the Admiralty having decided that she shall not pass another spring tide in Chatham harbour, where, from the position which she occupied, she has grounded several times; she has not, however, done so to the extent of the Defence, although the latter vessel occupied the same berth alongside the sheer hulk. The whole of the hired carpenters, smiths, joiners, and other mechanics employed on the Re. sistance, not required for the service of the yard, received their discharge on Saturday afternoon, several of the hands discharged being first-class workmen. The Resistance will be navigated to Sheerness by a party of A. B.'s from the Formi dable, 84, flagship at the Nore. Although ordere d .t to be placed in th e : fi rs t. c l ass s team reserve, i s probabl e th a t th e R es i s t ance w ill hoist the pennant I as soon as she is completed. Orders were on Saturday received at Chatham directing the Zebra, 17, 200-horse power, fitting for service on the West Coast of Africa, to be fur nished with:two of the long 40-pounder Armstrongs, in lieu of the short Arrnstrongs previously furnished her. The Zebra will be inspected by Vice -Admi ral Johnstone previously to leaving the Nore, from which she is expected to sail to-morrow. on Fri- The following app ointments w ere made day- at the Admiral t y :--Willia mT ter, to the Imau m ; Robert Roots, confirmed as second-class ass i s t —engineer ; and J.

His leave of absence has been extended tct the 30th of Ju ne . It is expected the 6th Dragoon Guards; who are under orders to leave for I re land, will be succeeded in their present stations by the 6th Lancers or the 18th Hussars. n His Majesty Victor EM1214/ille l Ri g of I ta l y, has conferred the title of Knight of the R oya l Order of Saints Maurizio and Lazzato on the Che. valier Vincent Papalardo, Italian Conn' at Ports mouth, for meritorious services. A large supply of Capt. Grant's cooking tus for the troops is now in course of construction in the Royal Arsenal at Woolwich. A num ber sufficient for the use of 12,000 men is ordered to be fitted immediately upon 20 of the Royal Artillery service waggons, under the direction of that officer. They enable the soldier to prepare his, rations with as much comfort and variety in the field (according to the experience of the past three years) and on the march as in the barrack kitchen. Orders have been issued to suspend for the pre sent any further progress in the construction of the foundations for the Spithead forts, on the Horse, Noman, and Sturbridge shoals. It is surmised that any commission appointed to inquire into and re port upon the subject will very probably recommend the execution of the works on the Noman and Horse shoals, as they command the narrow passage be tween the shoals by which Spithead must be ap proached. No such argument can be brought for ward in favour of the fort on the Sturbridge, and. very possibly that might be abandoned, which would then leave but two, those on the Horse and Noman, to be constructed out of the six in the original plan of the Defence Commission. The number of men in the employment of the contractors for the works. on Portsdown is being largely increased, in readiness. for the coming summer. A similar increase is being: made in the different forts along the ridge of the Downs. At Wallington, the west-end of Portsdown, and at the Purbrook and Crookhorn works, on the eastern side of the London and Portsmouth turn pike-road, the greatest progress has been made, and at these points the depth and breadth of the cut - tings, and the general appearance of the works, now give to the eye of even the non-professional visitor a pretty fair idea of the important part they will play in the defence of the country when completed: The original road which existed along the crest of the Down, from east to west, has been stopped, being within the lines of defence, and another road has been formed along the face of the hill, but in rear of all the works. ITALY AND GERMANY. ---0- The following letter has appeared as a reply to an address sent by Italian Democrats to their Ger man brethren : TO THE CLUB DEMOCRATICO' AT MILAN., Friends,—The warm words of international sym pathy which your society, established under the honorary presidency of Mazzini and Garibaldi has expressed in an address that has been put into my hands, I respond to with an equal feeling of cor diality. On this occasion, I think it a duty, however, to de clare in my own name and that of my friends that people in Italy have evidently been deceived with re gard to a so-called General Committee of the Ger man Movement,' erroneously alleged to have its seat at Frankfort.,The names of the pitiful authors of this mystification are known to us.
