LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 18, 1862. Another arrival from America tells of more fight ing, and this time the balance of success is doubtless with the Federals ; but as usual, their gunboats are the chief victors. In Virginia they appear to have suffered even more than was at first reported—the announced losses of 300 and 3,000 have now w 7,000, and as the informati on i s f rom Northern sou rces, and there ha s b een t i me to ascer tainselled t o pretty exactly, we fear that these last figures do n o more than represent the least loss suffered by the Federals on the last of May and the first of June. Well may the Confederates claim the vic tory, for if to have killed or disabled 7,000 of their opponents, and to carry off all their guns and bag gage, although they could not eventually drive them from their ground, be not a victory, we hardly know what is. In the valley of the Shenandoah, iu West ern Virginia, from which Gen. JACKSON had driven BANKS, the Federal General, has again gained an advantage by his skill. BANKS returned reinforced to the south of the Potomac. FREMONT, who was " over the hills and far away" south-west, by forced marches and with his wonted energy, crossed the mountains and offered battle to JACKSON, who re treated, and FREMONT occupied Strasburg. lie then followed JACKSON to Harrisonburg, further south in the valley, but the retreating General led him into an ambuscade, and inflicted "heavy loss" on him. FREMONT has daring and energy, but, as so frequently, the Southern General shows supe rior skill. But it is in the West, this time, that the Fede rals appear to have the success altogether on their side. It must be remembered that the accounts we hive are wholly one-sided, and not only are they from Northern sources exclusively, but they are all such only as it pleases the Govec,pment and the War Office to publish. According to these ac counts the Federals are completely triumphant on the Mississippi. First we have some account of the army which evacuated Corinth, and we are told that General POPE, who is certainly one of their abler men, had come up with the retreating Confederates thirty miles south of Corinth, and was " pushing them hard, and capturing prisoners" in large num bers. But on the Alississippi itself the Federal success is complete. They have taken, or what is the same thing, the Confederates have evacuated Fort Wright, and the Federals have steamed on past Fort Randolph and two other forts to Memphis itself. It would seem from this that all opposition is now crushed along the shores of the river from Ohio to Memphis, the commercial capital of Ten nessee. But we are told that Memphis did not fall with out a naval battle, which resulted in the complete destruction of the Confederate fleet—one boat only escaped ! If so, the Federals are now com pletely masters of the Mississippi, for nothing is left on its waters sufficient to withstand for an hour \ the Federal eunheats from New Orleans and ciai.ea indeed, it is doubtful whether the Confe derate fleet destroyed did not consist of all their Mississippi gunboats, which remained, united. The remaining forts on the banks are of no importance whatever before such a naval armament as can now be brought to attack them. Wo shall probably hear that, at Memphis, as at New Orleans, the anti- Union feeling is very strong. Preparations had been made, we know, to destroy the sugar and cotton there, but whether they were carried out, we are not yet informed. There is a little information also from Richmond and Charleston, but it is somewhat obscure or unre liable. Report says that the Monitor has forced the obstructions by which the Confederates delayed the Federal gunboats under the guns of Fort Dar ling, about seven miles below Richmond on the St. James River; but the report rests as yet only on the authority of one Philidelphia, paper. Another piece of information is from Southern papers, and tells us that the Confederates had repulsed 2,000 Federal troops, who landed on " James Island, opposite Charleston "—an island on the south side of the harbour, opposite to the city, and from which it could doubtless be bombarded, if the Federals could be guilty of such an act of barbarism. The account says that the enemy was repulsed; but a later despatch, from the Confederate General, describes the " enemy as in front-of him, under cover of his gunboats. What do not the Federals owe to their gunboats ! This looks, of course, as if the North had at last determined to attack Charleston itself, the prime mover of sedition. The reason they have left both it and Savannah, in Georgia, so long, after they have apparently been in their power, is said to be the diversion of Confederate troops from Richmond. They keep force enough near both cities to compel the Confederates to maintain yet larger armies there. One piece of intelligence, occupying but part of a line, ought to be printed in letters of gold, were it not that the results will chiefly be in paper. At last we read—" The Tax Bill is passed !" We all began to think it never would be. We are curious to see how it will work; but that cannot be known till months, and quarters, and half years, and even years have gone by. Nearly everything conceiv able 1 5 taxed—domestic now, as well as foreign ; and the o l d story of the Englishman taxed into his coffin itself will be repeated in Am er ican taxation. A perfect array of excisemen must cover the land if the taxes are to be levied, and the cost of collection ma splendid part of the Fe deral a e t n ro o n rm ag o e i t a, t- . " spoils of office." The Government will now have to deuratl receive and reissue as no calculation ' estimatesits own inconvertiblepape r; b ut eb f the n e vi t axes as much if at all beyond the interest of th e debt, f res h incon vertible paper m ust still be issued to sustain the 1 war. How long it will bs before th e ' windbag of 1 Government credit is pricked we cannot yet f oretel; it surely cannot be very long. At the close of the recent session of the Social Science Congress, tie members held a convivial meeting at the Crystal Palace down at Syden ham. Such, in effect, is the order of the day now in England at the end of all sessions, Social, S c i en tific, Charitable, A dinner or Parliamentary. is the one inevitable sequence. There are always "pippins and cheese to came" whenever the la • bours of any body of Englishmen are drawing near their conclusion. All the eleemosynary in stitutions in the country celebrate the anniver sary of their foundation, respectively, by a ban quet at the London Tavern; at Freemasons' Hall, or at some other well-known place of public on- IHE SUN, i,oNDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, MATB 18, 1862, - - tertatilient. In this way yearly one sees an nounced by advertisement dinners (each duly pro vided with chairman, sometimes also with vice. chair- men, always with a procession of stewards, having one and all of them a mystical rod of office, and invariably led off at all the toasts by a loud-lunged fugleman in the shape of a practised toastmaster) —certain among these dinners, by the Way, being of the most unappetising name, style, and title imaginable. The Orthopaedic hobbles in one while— the Cancer Hospital has its festival at another—and so on through " all the ills that flesh is heir to"— benevolent people readily finding some distressful plea for having a feast for the purpose of swelling the funds of some favourite hobby or another among our practical philanthropists. It was only the other day, in illustration of this popular rage for dinners in England, that some of the more enthusiastic pro moters of the Main Drainage movement took it into their heads to glorify the progress already made, and still rapidly making, in that great subter ranean improvement of the capital, by actually partaking of a magnificent dinner down in one of the largest of the Sewers! A locality of rather revolting associations, one cannot but feel, such as any one might have imagined would have scared away the revellers invited to the demonstra tion, instead of attracting them to it. Yet no— the whole scheme was so perfectly to regie here in England that the dinner in the Sewer was a decided success, and was very numerously attended. The rage for banquets at the end of a session is aptly enough illustrated in the political world, year after year, immediately prior to the prorogation of Parlia ment, when, by an invariable custom, her Majesty's Ministers, in agreeable conclave assembled, go down the river to consume the immemorial whitebait with lemon juice squeezed over it, and the particu larly thin slices of the inevitable brown bread and butter. It is one of the oddest customs surely in the wide world for any circle of " Potent, grave," and if not "reverent," at any rate right honourable " Seigniors" to adhere to. And yet, odd though it he, oddest 'of the odd though it be, it is decidedly not one of those " more honoured in the breach than the observance." And so Ministers, as a matter of pleasant necessity, as one of the most agreeable among their bounden duties, consume their White Bait Dinners imme diately before the commencement of the Grouse Shooting. So, likewise, among the general com munity : whatever we may be about—getting up a public company—adding a new wing to an asylum —welcoming some distinguished servant of the Crown—bidding goodspeed to another—always, invariably, unavoidably, comes the celebration of the event by a banquet, with the inevitable et cetera* of speeches alternately of a complimentary character, and by way of acknowledgment. It is hardly a circumstance to be surprised at, therefore, that the principal participators in the promotion of the interests of the Social Science Congress should bring their labours to a close in the way already mentioned, viz., by a dinner in the Crystal Palace at Sydenham. If by nothing else this dinner was elevated above the level of ordinary festivities of this description, not so much, we will say, by the character of the association of whose labours, this year, it was the amiable termination as by the casual utterance of an anecdote in one of the after-dinner speeches delivered towards the end of the proceedings. The , speaker being the Right Hon. J. W. NAPIER, the Irish ex• Lord Chancellor. The subject at once of the speech and of the anec dote being the President of the Social Science Asso ciation. Anything relating to the personal history of a great man like Lora BROUGHAM, is at all times welcome to the nation proud alike of his- genius and of his career. raid 4,-- _ ..-_.,,a ~.. 1 ,,,. career, while his rare and comprehensive genius is still at its brightest, the interest that cannot fail to be awakened in the minds of all by particulars such as those which have just been formally brought to light by the recollections of the Right Hon. J. W. NAPIER, it would be difficult to exaggerate. Lord BROUGHAM is now in the eighty-fourth year of his age, with his encyclopedia° intellect unclouded, and with his every energy still so well strung and so full of healthful vigour, that the youngest man ' who might in any way have been reasonabLy selected to preside over the recent sessional labours of the Social Science Association (even if he could at the same time have been endowed with Lord BROUGHAM'S mental capacities and his peculiar aptitude for the office) could- not have acquitted himself better of the responsibilities devolving upon him in his post as President. But adverting to the anecdote, we would here recall to public recollec tion, the anecdote mentioned the other day quite incidentally by the ex• Chancellor for Ireland—Mr. NAPIER, in reference to the extraordinary length of time, during which Lord BROUGHAM'S life had been devoted to the interests of the - whole human race, observed, that "He (Mr. NAPIER) remembered some years ago meeting an old and re. spected lady in the north of England, who knew Lord BROUGHAM very many years ago: She hap pened to be the only lady present at a party when all the original founders of the Edinburgh Review, including his lordship, dined together after the second number of that publication appeared. It had been arranged that none should know who were the authors of the different articles in the Review except the editor, and, of course, the writers of those articles. On that occasion, which I believe was in 1802, the lady's husband remarked that the writer of a certain article he had read was fit to be anything. Mr. BROUGHAM observed, " What ! do you think he is fit to be Lord Chancellor ?" The reply was, " Yes, and I tell you more, he will be Lord Chancellor." Probably his lordship still re membered old Mrs. FLETCHER. [Lord BROUGHAM —Perfectly.] She had the happiness to live years afterwards, and to see her friend Lord Chancellor of England. Not, by any means, alone as Lord High Chancellor of England, however, will the name of HENRY Lord BROUGHAM, be held by his fellow crountrymen, in future times, in grateful remembrance. Personally, of course, the date of his taking his place on the woolsackmarks the culmination of what, in Napoleonic, and cer tainly, also, in pagan, phraseology, may be called the Star of his destiny. But since the brief but brilliant period of his career as Chancellor came to its close, Lord BROUGHAM has advanced instead of retrograding or even of remaining stationary. As the Irish ex-Chancellor NAPIER well remarked the other evening, when Lord BROUGHAM quitted the woolsack "he did not descend to an inferior position." Still he hold his own as the " Hero of Humanity." The POPE is in a passion —but then it is excusable, for we ought in fairies to view it as the temporal passion of the temporal Porr —the temporalities being beyond all doubt the real cause of it. To be sure, it is hardly in keeping that he should hurl such ecclesiastical and religious denunciations against these political offenders ; but then again we should rememb er that we all naturally fight with the weapon we ar e used to. The cause of the wrath is secular, the attacks are secular too, but these secular good things are, or the POPE thinks should be, the patromony of a spi r i tuel prince; and 80 they e become religious matters. But Protestants who are so scandalized at seeing the Bishop of ROME rail at the assailants of his temporalities seem to forget the ways and manners of English and Irish Protestant Bishops. Let any one lay his finger on the temporalities of their church, although they are but a comparatively very modern gift of the nation, and what a stir we have. Even the temporalities of the graveyards—of dust, ashes and corruption—were not surrendered a few years back, till the clergy actually got the temporality perpetuated when the work ceased ! Let any one look, too, at the language in which a small party of unquestionably intelligent men are assailed, who, under the style and the title of the Liberation So ciety, propose to relieve the Church of England of the temporalities given to it by the State, and to restore them to the giver for secular purposes. It would not be easy for his Holiness to surpass in bitterness the epithets bestowed upon the Voluntaries by the bishops and clergy of our own country. Even if any one assails that eccle siastical monstrosity, which no statesman worthy the name has ever defended, tha Church of Ireland —if it is asserted that the Charch of a few thou sands ought not absorb all the national ecclesiastical wealth of a people of six or seven millions—the Pro testant hierarchy will wax as warm as the POPE himself. Equal dealing in Religion is a crime. The true Religion—that is, any religion—ought to have all the money; so argue British as well as Roman Popes. We should, indeed, rather recommend HARRY of EXETER, and SAMUEL of OXFORD to study the POPE'S allocution. It would refresh their spirits. They could apply it, as they might apply one of DAVID'S anathematizing Psalms to the domestic enemies of the Church ; always meaning, by the Church, those temporal blessings of it which cul minate in Bishoprics. They might enrich their vocabulary—rich enough, perhaps, at present. Here are a few flowers of this kind of Vatican rheto ric—"men who are enemies of the cross of CHRIST"— "associated by a nefarious alliance "—" blaspheming what they ignorant of"—" by depraved acts endea vouring to weaken the foundations of our most holy religion and human society"—" crafty artificers of fraud and mendacious fabricators"—practizers of "melancholy and diabolical acts"—" debasing the knowledge of all—diffusing deadly poison—exer cising unbridled licentiousness of life and depraved desires"—" extinguishing every idea •of justice, truth, right, honesty, and religion"—" deriders of the most sacred dogmas of Christianity"—men who " perversely assert that the civil power can inter- fere in matters which belong to religion"—who assert that "Divine revelation is even injurious to human perfection—is imperfect—its prophecies and miracles the comments of poets—and that oar Lord JESUS CHRIST himself, hoirible to be spoken, is a mythical fiction." They are " turbulent worshippers of perverse dogmas"—nay, they rival the Titans of antiquity—for "they arrive, also, at that degree of impiety and impudence, that they endeavour to attack Heaven itself, and take away GOD himself from the midst of it." But enough for a sample—the fertility of the POPE'S invention really does amount to a kind of inspiration in this line ; but whether VICTOR Dd. MANTJEL, RICASOLI, and RATTAZZI, or GARIBALDI and Clam, will recognise their photographs, here, may be questioned. An arrow which hits the mark ' is more effective than a thunderbolt which misses it, and probably all bystanders will see that these 1 bolts of heaven or of hell, it is really hard to say which, bury themselves in the ground, and leave the intended victims scatheless. In their way they surpass even the last papal effusion, and, we must confess, leave far behind the productions of the English anathomatisers. As, however, these latter Vy 11 i , ir ~ v..........e.a14 them to the study of the POPE'S Allocution. What ho really can hope to gain by it, at this time of day, it is hard to tell. Neither French nor Italian politicians are likely to be much moved by such ecclesiastical abuse. It will rather do them good. Every educated man revolts from or laughs at it and even the illiterate do not believe it. If his poli tical opponents were irritable they would have but to leave him to himself, and he would quickly have to vent his curses from the mire. They have too much good sense probably to let him down with a sudden jerk, but he has a warning already in the reduction of his army, that he must soon receive temporally, the due reward of his temporal deeds, at the hands of those whom he curses. DEATH OF LORD MUNCASTER.—We have to record the dcmise of the above nobleman, who died on the 18th ult. at Castellamare, near Naples, in the 31st year of his age, after a short illness. His lordship succeeded his father as fourth baron and eighth baronet in 1838, and married, in 1855, Lady Jare Grosvenor, daughter of the Marquis of Westminster. Lieut.-Col. Herbert Wa.tkin W. Wynn, M.P., is, we regret to learn, seriously indisposed at his seat in Wales. Yesterday the accounts were more favourable, but the hon. and gallant member is still net considered out of danger. A serious accident occtrred on Friday to Lord Francis and Lady Osborne, when driving in a phaeton from Castleconnel towards their residence at Clonsingle, county of Limerick. In the narrow part of the bog-road, on the New port line, the vehicle in which they were travelling came in collision with a donkey cart, which compl e t e l y overturned it, and we (Limerick Chronicle) regret t o s t a t e t h at Lady Osborne sustained severe i njuries; his lordship was not much hurt. Mrs. Ellen Hope has presented to the National Lifeboat Institution £340, in memory of her late husband, the Rev. F. W. Hope, for the purpose of enabling the in stitution to station a new lifeboat and transporting carriage at Appledore, on the north coast of Devon, where some fearful shipwrecks take place nearly every winter. THE CORONERSHIP OF MIDDLESEX.—The writ for the election of two coroners for Middlesex—the central and western divisions—under the recent order in council, will be forthwith issued from the Crown-office, the Middle sex magistrates having derided the question as to the coro nership of the Duchy of Lancaster. The election cannot take place within seven clays of the Sheriff receiving the writ, and must be within 14 days. The freeholders cannot poll out of the district in which their property is situated. The nomination for the central division will take place at Marylebone, and for the western division at Brentfosd. The expenses of the Sheriff are to be paid by the candi dates in equal proportions. The polling is confined to one day. Mr. Humphreys has been assigned by the Middlesex magistrates, at their late meeting, the eastern division, and the salary has been fixed, including all expenses, at £1,560. The salary of the late coroner, Mr. Wakley, was £l,BOO a-year, :and it is expected that the same will be divided be tween the two coroners to be appointed for the central and western divisions. THE NEW STREET FROM SOUTHWARK TO THE WESMINSTER BRDGE-ROAD. This new communication between the Borough and the Southwark-bridge-road has made considerable progress during the last fortnight, and in consequence it is expected that in less than a fortnight the line for foot traffic will be open thus far. For some time the street has been formed a short distance west of the Borough Market. From this point to the Southwark bridge-road the formation of the street has been continued, The vaults for the houses which are to be built in connec tion with them are nearly all formed on either side of the way, and the foot pavements over them are nearly com pleted. The subway is erected above half the distance, and at each end of this portion of the line the roadway is being laid down with solid blocks of granite. The contractor also commenced on Monday last the formation of the line to the west of the Southwark-bridge-road, between that spot and Blackfriars-road, which can be rapidly proceeded with, as there are not many houses to be cleared away to make room for the further extension of the street. Letters from St. Petersburg state, that the Japanese ambassadors are shortly expected in that city, After having visited the Russian capital, Vienna, Berlin, &c., they are to return to Paris, to be present at the fetes of the lOth August, then proceed to Marseilles, and embark for Suez, TUE WARRIOR.--A number of sailors paid off at Plymouth have gone to their homes at Queenstown and the surrounding localities by this ship.

Mademoiselle Marie Battu, who made her first essay last night before an English audience, is a very young singer (not yet 2 0, we believe), already enjoying a certain reputation in Paris, where, little more than a twelvemonth since, she made her debut at the Theatre 'Wien. One of the pupils of the celebrated Duprez, Mademoiselle Battu has never studied in the Conservatoire, nor. if we are rightly informed, has she ever sung in French opera. Under these circumstances, she claims the indulgent criti cism to which every new aspirant is entitled, and which should on no account be withheld from timid inexperience. This indulgence may be extended with the less chariness inasmuch as Mademoiselle Battu, in addition to youth and a prepossessing ex terior, possesses the germs of unquestionable talent, and exhibits, moreover, a degree of promise which at her years is well worth nurturing. Her voice, a light soprano—though at present deficient in power, and more or less unequal throughout its register — is of extremely agreeable quality, and some of its natural tones, when unforced in the delivery, are exquisitely sweet and pure. That she has real musical feeling was evidenced last night in more than one passage ; and that she is by no means. without the instinct of dramatic expression was ren dered equally apparent. The character of Gilda in " Rigoletto," was a severe ordeal for an untried and un known artist tobrave in presence of such an audience as that of the Royal Italian Opera, which even the elaborate vocalisation of Madame Miolan Carvalhe could not persuade for one instant to forget the in comparable performance of Angiolina Bosio, or force to believe that a singer with voice, taste, man• ner, and execution essentially French would ever prove entirely acceptable in a part deservedly rank ing high among the highest creations of the modern Italian stage. That Mdlle. Battu is j net as eminently French in style as Mdme. Carvalho, without Mdme. Carvalho's practised experience in the vocal art, is undeniable, and that this would, in some degree, militate against her entire success was to be anti cipated. But with extreme youth in her favour, and the fact of her not having yet had time or opportunity for straining the capabilities and da maging the freshness of her voice by constant expo sure to the musically artificial atmosphere of the Thtitre Lyriquo, Madlle. Battu may, and doubt less will, get over that peculiar mannerism, which, of all national idiosyncracies, is the most antago. nistic to the pure Italian method. Many parts in her performance were charmingly unaffected; some few (as, for example, the duet with Signor Mario in Rigoletto's garden) were marked with genuine sensibility ; others by a natural ease,which, when further study shall have brought with it the self-composure that alone insures to a singer unfail ing command of her resources, may help Made moiselle Battu to be become what at present she is far from being—a thorough artist. Her defects of style and execution were most conspicuously de clared in the beautiful melody which Gilda sings be• fore retiring to rest; but, as we have every hope that she will eradicate these in time, we shall not dwell upon them in detail. The audience, evidently prepossessed by the youthful grace and modest bearing of the young singer, warmly encou raged her throughout her arduous task; and we may, without hesitation, pronounce her first appearance a fair and legitimate success. " Rigoletto" is Signor Verdi's masterpiece, and there are few modern operas in which the . fine orchestra and chorus of the Royal Italian Opera are more effective. Last night there was not a fault to find, and the entire performance was a genuine musical treat. The first representation of "Robert le Diable" is announced for to-morrow night. INDIAN P.RIZE! MONEY. TO TIIE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Six years have now passed since the Indian mutiny, and the army of Central India have as yet received no prize money. Surely there must be some mistake, for it is not just or equitable that old soldiers and officers should receive no reward for their lone. patient, wearisome campaign of twelve months under a burning sun, excepting a siivel EVENING. I medal, I am, Sir, your obedient servant, NOTHING FOR NOTHING, THE LORD CHANCELLOR'S IVETV ORDER IN CHANCERY. TO THE EDITOR. OP THE tam SlR,—The law appears to be very clearly defined by section 64 of the " Chancery Amendment Act, 1852," that the Lord Chancellor should have imme diately after the making and issuing of his order of the 16th May, 1862 (and which was not published until the 29th May), laid it for approval before both Houses of Parliament, and that if either house should within 36 days thereafter pass a resolution, resolving that the whole or any part of such order ought not to continue in force, then that it should cease to be binding. Whether this order has been so laid before both Houses of Parliament, as pre scribed by the statute, I must leave to hon. and right hon. members to decide. At all events, it is to come into operation to .morrow, the 18th of June, a day glorious in history, but whether it will be so for the Lord Chancellor remains to be proved. The 36 days allowed by law, even if reckoned from the date of the order, will not expire until Saturday, the 21st inst.—l am, &c., JOHN ROBERT TAYLOR. 13, Brownlow-street, Bedford-row, June 17.

A PLEASING CEREMONY.--A pleasing Instance 9f the friendly feeling entertained by the Methodists to wards the Established Church occured at Walkden Moor, Worsley, near Manchester, in Whitsun week. On Friday the Sunday schools connected with the Church., Wesleyans, and Primitive Methodists, made their annual procession through the district, amounting in the whole to upwards of 1,200 eoholars and teachers. The three schools met in the centre of the village, when the incumbent, who was head ing the Church school, invited the managers of the two Dissenting schools to unite and sing a hymn together, which was cheerfully and heartily agreed to, the various banners being ranged side by side, and the young people mixing freely one with another. After two hymns had been sung the incumbent of the district delivered an address in the open air, in which he exhorted both teachers and scholars to value highly the great and blessed privileges afforded them by the Sunday school, and how it behoved those who were desirous for the extension of the Redeemer'. kingdom on earth to cultivate a kind feeling for all deno minations of Christians, and avoid party spirit, which was so contrary to that manifested by the blessed Redeemer while on earth ; that the day was fast approaching when pastors, teachers. and scholars would be standing side by side before the judgment seat, where all distinctions of sect and party would be unknown, when each one would have to give in his account to God. The union of these schools gave the greatest satisfaction to the inhabitants generallny; who testified their approbation by pronouncing th they had that day witnessed as one of the happiest that es had c ever happened at Walkden Moor. evening, Mr. e FATAL ACCIDENT.—Yesterd a y Bedford held an inquest at HospitalWestminster64 the death of William Armstrong, aged . a es in front of the em ployed in colouring the ornamental comic It d .

The following is the official report of General Zaragoza, addressed to th© Mexican Minister, of War, respecting the above engagement : " Army of the East,Headquarters, Puebla, May 9. " After having commenced my retrograde move ment, starting from the Cumbres de Acultzingo, I arrived in this city on the third inst., as I already have had the honour to inform your Excellency. The enemy followed me at a small day's distance, and having left the rearguard of the 2d Cavalry Brigade, consisting of about 300 men, to obstruct his advance as far as possible, I proceeded, as al- ready stated, to Puebla. Immediately issued orders to place the heights of Guadaloupe and Loreto in a regular state of defence, and I hastily completed the fortifications of the place, which had hitherto been neglected. " On the morning of the 4th I ordered General Miguel Negrete, a most distinguished officer, to take the head of the Second Division under his orders, 1,200 strong, to be prepared to fight directly he should give the signal, and to occupy the heights already mentioned of Loreto and Guadaloupe, which were provided with two batteries of field artillery and mountain guns. On the same day I formed out of the brigades Berrizabal, Diaz, and Lamadrid, three attacking columns, consisting, the first of 1,082 men, the second of .1,00) men, and the third of 1,020 men, all infantry, with the exception of 550 horse, under Gen. Antonio Alvarez, to whom I en trusted a field battery. These troops remained assembled on the Place San Jose till noon ; they then returned to their quarters. The enemy passed the night at Azamoc. " At 5 o'clock on the morning of the sth of May our troops advanced in the order of battle I had assigned to them, and which your Excellency will find in the accompany sketch. I ordered the Com mander-General of the Artillery, Colonel Zeferino Rodriguez, to distribute the rest of his guns on the ramparts of the town, placing them under the orders of Gen. Santiago Tapia, Military Commandant of the State. " At 10 a.m. the enemy was discerned, not taking the necessary time to encamp, and advancing his attacking columns—one towards the heights of Guadaloupe, about 4,000 strong, with two batteries ; the other, not so numerous, probably 1,000 men, threatened our front. This attack, which I had mot expected, though I was aware of the daring of the French army, modified my plan, and decided me to take the offensive, I consequently ordered the Ber riozabal brigade to attack at double quick step, to reinforce Loreto and Guadaloupe, and the mounted carabineers to take the left of the infantry, to charge at an opportune moment. " Shortly afterwards I ordered the battalion Itiforme,' of Lamadrid's brigade, to go to the sup port of the troops on the heights, and which were becoming hotly engaged, I advanced a battalion of sappers of the Ist brigade, with orders to occupy village situated almost on the summit of the ridge. It arrived in such good time that it stopped the ad vance of a column sent to that point in a hand-to hand engagement. The French made three sudden charges, but were each time repulsed. The cavalry placed to the left of Loreto took advantage of the opportunity, and charged them vigorously, prevent ing them from re-forming and making another at tack. " While the battle was being waged hotly on the heights a ne-Jess desperate struggle was taking place in the plain, to the right of my front of battle. " General Diaz, with two corps of his brigade, one corps of Lamadrid's brigade, with two field pieces, and the remainder of Aivarez's brigade, met and drove back the enemy's column, which was advancing boldly against our positions. It fell back on the Hacienda de San Jose, where it was joined by those we had driven from the heights, and who, already reorganised, prepared to defend themselves, and again sounded the charge. I could not attack them, because they had a n umorical force superior to mine. I therefore ordered General Diaz, who was eagerly following them, to halt, and satisfied myself with holding a threatening attitude. " The opposing forces remained in face of each other till 6 o'clock in the evening. The enemy then to his eiummonent at the Hacienda de los Alamos, while our troop,' gt•ncliirtlly returned within their lines, " The night was passed on the field of battle, where we picked up the dead and wounded of the enemy. This occupied the whole of the following day, and, though I have not a correct return of the loss of the Fiencb, I am told it is not under 1,000 killed and wounded And eight or ten prisoners.* I have to point out to your Excellency the conduct of my brave companions ; the glorious action which has just been fought speaks well for their courage, and suffices to recommend them. " The French army fought most vigorously. " I conclude by informing you that at the same time I was preparing the defence of the national army I was obliged to order the brigades O'Horar and Carvajal to watch the seditious assembled in considerable numbers at Matamoros, a circum stance which, perhaps, saved the enemy from a total rout, ;Ind deprives the little army of the East of the opportunity of a victory which would have immortalised its name. " J. ZARAQOZA. " Head-quarters, Puebla, May 9, " To the Minister of War at Mexico. • The Paris Moniteur, which publishes the above, adds the following note, after stating tLat it has not as yet re ceived General Loreneez's despatches :.-- " According to a letter worthy of belief, dated Puebla, May 10, and which has been communicated to us, the loss of the French army would be :42 men hors do combat ; that of the Mexican army, 240 wounded and 146 killed." THE SPECIAL COMMISSION IN IRE- LAND. The Special Commission for the counties of Lime. rick and Tipperary war opened on Monday after noon at Limerick. The judges of the commission, Mr. Justice Fitzgerald and Mr. Baron Deasy, were received at the station by the high sheriff of the county, Captain Croker, of Ballinagar, and the sub sheriff, Mr. George Hoare. The Right Hon. the Attorney-General, Mr. O'Hagan; the Solicitor- General, Mr. Lawson ; Mr. Sergeaut Sullivan, and Mr. De Moleyns, Q.C., are counsel for the Crown. The streets presented no appearance of anything un usual during the morning ; but towards three o'clock groups of people collected at the railway station and also near the court-house. It is under stood that three persons will be brought to trial at Limerick—namely, Thomas Beckham, who is charged with being one of t he p ersons who mur dered Mr. Francis Fitzge rald on the 16th of May last; Denis Dillane, w ho is charged with conspiring to murder rd with a err; Fitzgerald; and J o h n P unc h, charged i ng written a threat en i ng l e t ter to Mr. Hamilton Langley. At three o'clockp.m. their lordships took their seats on the bench. The court house was fully occupied, though not crowded. The Royal commission having been read, and the grand jury panel called over, Mr. Justice Fitzgerald ad dressed the grand jury at some length on the origi • • n and object of the commission, and the cases which. it would be their duty to inquire into. At 20 minutes before five the grand • jury came into court with a true bill against Thomas Beckham for the wilful murder of Francis Fitzgerald. Thomas Beck ham was then arraigned, but did not answer to the question whether he was guilty or not. Mr. Coffey (his counsel) said the prisoner was deaf, and asked to have a plea of 4, not guilty" entered, which was done. The court was then adjourned to the follow.. lug morning at ten o'clock. We learn by British and Irish Magnetic Tele graph that Beckham was found guilty last evening of the murder of Mr. Fitzgerald, The sentence was deferred.

" Prussia is the least able to look quietly upon any intentional hesitation on the part of the Elec. WI-al Government. " We confidently expect that no such hesitation will occur, and that it will not, therefore, be necessary to give to the undiminished military arrangements of Prussia that effect which was only *postponed on account of a hope of the readiness of Cassel to carry out the desired reforms."

The question as to the calamity having beets caused by incendiaries seems still in some degree to be doubtful. One writer observes "'Whether it was caused wilfully or accidentally I cannot say. Several arrests have been made of officers. There are always some few young madmen, but you may be assured that the soldiers and the people are to a man with the Emperor. The serf question has dissatisfied some pro prietors, and among these there may be grumbling and a little more,' but as for ' insurrection' or general disturb ance that is impossible. The ' million' are for law and order and the Emperor." CRYSTAL PALACE.—The preparations for the Handel Festival are now proceeding with great vigour.
