THE CIVIL WAR IN AMERICA. (FROM THE TIMES CORRESPONDENT.) NE W YORK, MAY 20. As was anticipated by every one, the President has lost no time in disavowing the extraordinary order of General David Hunter, setting free the slaves of Georgia, South Carolina, and Florida. Mr. Lincoln did not wait to have official cognizance of the document, but, taking its authenticity for granted, and setting it forth in his own proclama tion, he has solemnly repudiated it, and re-stated clearly and emphatically his policy and intentions on the whole subject of negro slavery. The Presi dent did not stir in the matter a moment too soon. The hours and even the minutes were precious, and were turned to hostile account through all the Border States, and wherever else a suspicion was possible that the Government had suddenly changed its policy and become a convert to the views of Mr. Wendell Philipps and the Ultra-Abolitionists. That the repudiation, prompt and decisive as it is, will allay the excitement which the order caused throughout the South is not to be expected, for the Southern leaders and editors have taken care to give the utmost possible publicity to a document that was so well calculated to strengthen the exist ing hostility to the North, and will take equal pains to prevent Mr, Lincoln's explanation from reaching the people. The Democratic and Pro-Slavery party are not satisfied with the mere reprimand which the proclamation conveys, and call for General Hunter's removal, But as the General has friends in the Cabinet, and is supposed to be sheltered under the broad aegis of Mr. Secretary Stanton, to whom the President defers in military matters, it is pos sible that he will be allowed to retain his post. But even in that case, in a country where the pri vate soldier does not renounce his politics in con senting to fight for the Government, it will be for General Hunter to decide whether the rank and file share his opinions or those of the President. In either case, a very highminded officer would solve the difficulty by resigning his command; and as such a course would gratify the Abolitionists as much as it would the Pro. Slavery and Democratic party, though for very dif ferent reasons, there is a general expectation that a new appointment to the military department of Georgia, South Carolina, and Florida will be imme diately placed at the disposal of the Government. General M'Clellan has begun to find that Rich mond will detain him as long or longer than York town, and is taking his measures f or a regu l ar siege with his usual prudence and completeness. He is now at a place called Bottom's Bridge, within 15 miles of the Confederate capital, with a large swamp between him and the city. He is opposed by a force that is believed to be greatly superior to his own. To counterbalance that disadvantage he has the aid of the Monitor and the gunboats, released from duty off Hampton Roads by the self-immolation of the Merrimac. This flotilla steamed up the James River on Friday last to operate against Richmond, but within seven miles of the city met with a serious reverse, the news of which arrived in New York on Sunday morning early, and cast a general gloom over the streets and churches, which contrasted strongly with the jubilation of the Sunday previous. At a high bluff on the river their upward progress was suddenly arrested by the guns of the newly erected Fort Darling, of which the existence was previously unknown, and by the chain bars, sunken vessels, and large stones that had been placed across the river to defend the passage. The redoubtable Monitor could not elevate her guns to fire against the fort. The Naugatuck burst her large 100 pounder Parrot gun at the first fire, and lost 17 men by the explosion. The Galena, though iron clad and asserted to be as invulnerable as the Moni tor, was seriously injured ; and after a fight of four hours the victory remained with Fort Darling, and the disabled flotilla retired beyond the reach of the enemy's guns. In this encounter the Monitor was quite useless. The result will be that mechani cal ingenuity will immediately strive to provide her, and other iron-clad vessels, with guns that can operate against a high fort as effectively as against a ship on their own level. The Monitor is said to have I been uninjured by the shot that was rattled against her deck and sides from the fort ; but the Galena was penetrated by 18 shot out of 28 that struck her, and lost her claim to rank among the invulnerables. A new attempt is to be immediately made to force the passage up the river, for the unexpected success of Commodore Farragut at New Orleans has tended to make all other naval commanders as daring, or as reckless, as he was ; but the defenders of Richmond are forewarned, and will, of course, be so well fore armed as to make the attempt more than ordinarily perilous. There is not likely to be any news from Corinth for some days, unless some overwhelming victory or defeat of the Federal arms under Halleck shall make itself known in spite of the Government and the War-office. All the reporters and correspon dents of the press have left Gen. Halleck's camp and lines by order of superior authority, and if there be a great defeat, as seems to be the prevalent fear of all who know the man and the army, the news will be modified and kept back as much as possible, and allowed to percolate as softly as may be into the popular mind. Under no other supposition is it easy to account for the extraordinary solicitude which the Government displays in this instance. It almost looks as if the defeat had already occurred, and as if the Government were waiting to balance it with a victory elsewhere before they will allow the public to be informed of it. The possibility of a foreign intervention continues to be a general theme of discussion ; but the idea is only tolerated on the supposition that France and England will prevail upon the Confederates to lay down their arms, and afterwards use such influence as they may possess to obtain mercy for Mr. Jeffer son Davis and the principal chiefs and generals of the (. rebellion." Under no other circumstances will any European Power be listened to. Such is the talk of the clubs and bar-rooms, re-echoed in the whole Northern press. But, with or without foreign intervention, the same class of enthusiasts who originally gave the war 90 days to run itself out—who afterwards e-tended the term to the anni versary of the capture of Fort Sumter, and, again, to the Ist of May in this Sear—have resolved in their o wn minds that all shall be over before the 4th July —that day the dearest of all others to the heart o f every true American. On the 3d of July, the Federal fl ag floating " full hi gh displayed" over Ri c hmond and ov er Corinth, overevery city, town, v ill a ge, an d in every river, fort, andharbour, lake, and sea of the resto red Union, a prop os i t i on from France and England to sp are the live s of Jeffers on Davis and Generals Lee , Beauregard, John son, and Magruder will be favourably entertained by th e President. A similar request on behalf of General Floyd and Mr. Tombs, those traitorous members o f Mr. Buchanan's Government, will be respectfully, but firmly declined ; and on the 4th the facts will be officially promu l gated ; and there will be a gene ral shaking of hands all round, the discharge of thousands of tons of harmless gunpowder in salvoes of r6dicing, and a new start in life and glory for Brother Jonathan—a grander, a a bi gger ," and a more hugely indebted nation than was ever made, or that ever grew in so short a space of time. Such is the present p r ogramme of the pe r f ormances, only to be altered by the p ossible obstin acy of Ge nera ls Lee and Johnson at Richmond, and of General Beauregard at Corinth, all of whom may have very different views both as to time and circumstance. 'The financial part of this mighty business is that which appears to give everybody the least concern. It seems to be thought mean to talk about money where so much glory is concerned ; though when the financial condition of the South is spoken of, every on e can see very d i cleat ly how wrong ts Go vernment has b een i n i ssu i ng i mme nse quantities of paper money, and in forcing unwilling traders to accept its notes at par when they were really not worth 40 cents. to the dollar. A few stray notes of the Confederate Government for dollars and half-dollars, and even for smaller sums, have recently found their way to the North—rifled, in some instances, from the pockets of dead soldiers on the field of battle, or taken as change in default of anything better at the whisky stores of soave evacuated city of the South. They are not very favourable specimens of the art of Priptin,Or de ?sign, though not much coarser in either respect than the notes with which everyone must be familiar who has travelled in Austria. Some of these spoils of war have lately been sold in the city fo sums very far in excess of their nominal value, doubtless to be transferred to the scrap-books or albums of ladies or other collectors, and preserved as mementoes of the war. The South, unlike the North, has been in great distress for want of paper. The North may have lacked gold and silver to pay its war expenses, but its supply of paper and ink have been all but un limited, and the production of creditable looking bank and government notes have never stopped for deficiency of the raw material. It has not been so in the South. Paper of the most inferior kind has been used for the purpose, and in some instances old cardboard and bandboxes, and even the blank halves of old letters have been pressed into the ser vice. The New York journals have, for some days past, been making exceedingly merry over these Southern " shin-plasters." If you ask an American familiar with current slang what a " shin plaster' , is, he will tell you that it is an inconvertible note —a small accommodation bill, or a promise to pay, not representing any legitimate mercantile trans action, or representable by the smallest quantity of the precious metals, or by any other article of real and tangible property. If you ask him whether there are no shin• plasters in the North, he will re ply in the negative. If you urge that the Federal Government has issued 156 millions of paper dol lars, based entirely upon its credit, and not repre sented by gold or silver, and ask whether these 150 millions of paper deserve any other name, he will reply that he cannot see it—that if you possess one of these bills for five dollars, the lowest figure yet issued, you can buy anything that its nominal value will cover just as readily as with a piece of gold ; that the people have confidence in the Go vernment; that they are likely to continue to have confidence in it ; and that as long as such confidence lasts there is no necessity to have gold or silver in reserve to represent any amount of notes that the Government may please to issue. He does not see that in the North as well as in the South this ques tion of confidence is one on which a Government as well as the people may deceive itself, and the confidence which he himself feels in his Government to-day might be destroyed or very much weakened to-morrow, if a series of reverses were to befall its arms, such as the defeat of M'Clellan at Richmond, the recapture of New Orleans or the annihilation of the great army ofthe South-West by the force under Beauregard, He sees the mote in the Southern eye, but not the beam in the eye of the North, and thinks that nothing can be clearer than the fact that the South will be ruined by its over-issues of paper money, if from no other cause. All the journals of New York appear to be of the same opinion, and one of them has just published an elaborate article to prove the awful nature of the financial error into which the South has fallen. "The whole rebel currency," it asserts— " Has been from the start the most stupendous swindle that the world has ever beheld. It falls dead upon the hands of every man who holds it, and 300,000,000 dols. of loss cannot be so distributed in any community as not to impoverish thousands by the explosion. What other generations suffered from Continental notes and assignats the South must suffer with far greater severity than this uni versal collapse. It is only upon the return of peace that such explosions culminate. While the war lasts a pervading pressure serves to brace up all hopes and interests ; but this pressure relaxes with the return of peace, and the vast artificial system which the war compelled collapses into a desolating chaos. This generation will soon witness a spec tacle in the rebel States such as history but faintly pictures as having succeeded the American revolu tion, the overthrow of Napoleon, or the close of our second war with England." This is all very true; but does not the argument apply to the North as well as to the South ? And if the Northern Government continues to incur enormous debt, and to flood the land with paper money, may there not be a collapse in New York as well as in New Orleans ? And if, in the above extract the word " federal" were substituted for " rebel," would not the warning read equally well, and be quite as much needed ? Efforts are constantly made to hide from the public the real magnitude of the debt that has already been incurred, and to exaggerate, at the same time, the taxpaying powers of the community —powers that are too exclusively based upon the wealth of New York, Boston and Philadelphia, and not calculated on the productive resources of the agricultural and manufacturing community, scat tered over the great West and North. Should peace between the belligerents be established before the 4th of July, which is, as I have already remarked, the favourite date now fixed by sanguine patriots for the end of the war, the public debt will amount to 1,250,000,000, borrowed at various times, and for various periods, at 4,5, 6, and 7 per cent. If the war lasts until the summer of 1863, which is highly pro bable, from the desperate tenacity and hatred of the one side, and from the equally desperate pride of the other, it will amount to double that sum, or, in round numbers, £500,000,000 sterling. "We are so great a people," says one journal, in grim jest, "that we can incur in two years as big 9. debt as poor little England can incur in a hundred." The all - important question that Northern Americans should ask themselves with respect to the " big debt" is, '," Will the credit of the Federal Govern ment, separated from or in renewed union with the South, be sufficient to provide regularly for the payment of the interest ?" If the debt be consoli dated at 5 per cent. the annual burden fixed upon th© labour and trade of the country by two years of civil and fruitless warfare will amount to £25,000,000 sterling. And whether the South succeed or fail in establishing its independence, the current annual expenses of the Federal Govern ment will certainly, on the most moderate calcula tion, amount to £25,000,000 more, or £50,000,000 sterling, for past war and present safety. Whether it be compelled to keep the South in military subjection, or to hold its own against the encroachments or hostility of a rival Republic, it will be forced to maintain a large army and a powerful navy. Before the outbreak of the war, the Federal Government was a mere shadow. It had little authority and few expenses, and such expenses as it had were more than provided for by Customs duties and the sale of the national domain. But, winning or losing, the Federal Government must cease to be a shadow, and become a reality. It has levied large armies, fitted out magnificent fleets, and gained great victories upon credit, and at the pre sent moment the Northern people are willing to give it credit for any amount it pleases, so gratified are they with its warlike achievements. No one seems to remember or to care that although the war has lasted upwards of a year the Federal Govern \ rnent has not hitherto paid a single penny to sup port it except in paper, or that the Tax Bill, which intendedis to p rov id e means f or meet i ng t h e i r grea t liabilitie s , has not yet p asse d i n t o law, and threatens to be inoperative if it e ver shall receive the Presi dential sanction. Surely, in face of the circum stances, the S outh is not fairly c hargeable with a monopoly of " s hin-plast ers ? " There has been no depreciation in the value of th e paper which the Fed era l Government has issued, and which it is still engaged in printing as I fast as a steam - engine can work, b ut t h ere has been a vary general rise of the price of food and of I all the necessaries of lif e in the great c i t i es, as well as a very general interruptio n to trade, which has thrown vast numbers of people out of Employ- j went, sent the youngest and most vigorous of them to the war, left the old and infirm to poverty or pauperism. It used to be the boast of America that there were no beggars in their streets, and that pauperism, the chronic disease of the Old World, had not been inoculated upon the New. The boast is no longer founded upon fact. There are as many beggars in New York in Proportion to its population as there are in London, and pauperism, the spawn of the war, has fastened itself upon the body politic. Bet plentiful what signifies ? Money i s for speculation, if not for trade. The largest and most valuable coin to be seen is the 50 -cent, piece, worth a little more than 2s. English ; and that is only obtainable in change for the smaller puroha a es ...at can be made with a dollar. The gold is all in the banks, TFIR ''StiN,IVLONDON, TUESDAY' HVENING, JUNE 8, 1882. or going abroad, and rarely enters into the usual transactions of commerce or of every-day life. Paper money, inconvertible into gold except at a premium, has made things so pleasant for the Go vernment that a proposition for the further issue of no less than 600,000,000 dais, or £120,000,000 ster ling, in legal tender Treasury notes of 1 dol. and upwards, fundable in 20 years, and bearing interest at 4 per cent., is seriously entertained. But those who deprecate the madness of the South, and pre dhiacvteitnsntruainwfoorrdistsnuisnagy a so gast m in any this "shin-plasters," proposal, and stubbornly maintain that the resources of the Union aro so boundless, and the credit of the Government BO solid, that a national debt as large as that of Great Britain will be easily endured, and the inte rest regularly provided for. The world will know better what to think upon this subject when the new Tax Bill shall have been in operation for a twelvemonth. But the bill remains a bill, and no body knows if it will ever beeome a luw, or, if it do, whether it will be possible to work it. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. SEVENOAK S. Yesterday morning this company's railway wa opened for public traffi. The first train left the Pimlico station at an early hour. The line com mences by a junction with the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway near the old London and Maid stone turnpike-road, thence passing in a south easterly direction under the range of hills near Farningham by a tunnel 820 yards in length, crosses the valley of the Darent at an altitude of 75 feet above the river by a viaduct of nine arches, each of 30 feet span. The whole length of the line is eight miles. MANCHESTER, SHEFFIELD, AND LIN- COLNSHIRE. The total expenses of this company's railways, including rents, tolls, duty, &c., from January 1 to May 2.5, 1862, amounted to £122,552, as against £131,956 for the corresponding period of 1861. The proportion of the South Junction receipts accruing to this company from January 1 to May 25 amounted to £11,635, as against £12,453 for the corresponding period of 1861, and the expenses to £5,422, as against £5,832. THE MIDDLE LEVEL DEL UGE. LYNN, MONDAY NIGHT. Cases of individual suffering and distress are be coming known, and excite public sympathy, which does not resolve itself into help, because it is con tended that the duty devolves upon the Middle Level Commissioners to afford that relief which may be required. A specimen of hundreds of cases which might be quoted was met with to-day on the banks of the cut near the dam. An intelligent man, who looked hardly well-dressed enough to pass for a well-to-do farmer, and yet superior to a common labourer, had a spade on his shoulder, and asked whether it was likely he could get work, for, he remarked, he had not got a foot of land nor a penny in his pocket. His story was that he had had nine acres of land and a house near the Middle Drove Station ; they were his own property, and he got a living out of that nine acres for himself, wife, and five children. On Monday, the 12th ult., just as they were about retiring to bed, they saw the water rushing over a neighbour ing bank, and it was rapidly approaching his little farmstead. He had only just time enough to get his horse and cart, put in a few articles of clothing, &c., his wife and children, fasten the door, and get away, before the place was flooded, and his domestic animals all drowned. His whole reliance for a live lihood for himself and family were the crops on his nine acres, and these being all destroyed, he said mournfully, that if he could not get employment he must resort to the union workhouse. It is supposed that some two or three hundred families are thrown out of home by this devastating flood. No means of carrying off the back waters that are constantly coming down from the high lands having been pro- vided, it is almost a matter of certainty that the water on the Fens will be greatly accumulated, and it is feared that the remedy will (for a time at least, until the necessary machinery can be provided) be worse than the cause of it. The Middle Level Com missioners are busily engaged in trying to divert a portion of the drainage, but it is impossible to get it by any extensive means by another course. The hole at the east bank has been only partially filled up, the back waters from the breech in the west bank washing away the loose earth as fast as it was put in. Clunch and earth in sacks are now resorted to, with apparently more success. Notwithstand ing the insecure state of the banks for miles, though their attention has been called to the matter by Mr. A. Saunders, C E., the necessary work of puddling had not been resorted to, and a heavy rush of back waters would most probably burst this bank, and lay 10,000 more acres of fertile land under water. Several steam pile-driving engines have at last found their way to the works, but nothing has at present been found for them to do. lam sorry that I can not write quite so hopefully as I did yesterday of the progress of the coffer-dam. When I was down yesterday the men were at dinner, and I was in formed that the panels were being dropped into their places ; but to-day I find that a delay has occurred, and up to the time of my leaving for the parpose of making up my parcel, no panels had been driven in since Saturday afternoon. Unless the greatest promptitude is manifested, the next spring tides will not find the barrier complete. The repairs to the Marshland and Marshland Smeeth Outfall sluices are progressing favourably. LETTER FR.OIII A POLISH EXILE TO SIBERIA. The fallowing letter was written by a Polish gen, tleman sent to Siberia by the Russian government " Siberia—Kurgan, sth (17th) March, 1862. "My dear Friends, —We have arrived at last at the town of Kurgan, on the river Tobol, 500 versts south of Tobolsk. I wrote to you before leaving Tobolsk, and now I write from my present quarters in Siberia. I arrived here the day before yesterday, in the evening, in the company of two gendarmes, worn out with my journey, and perish ing with cold, for of late we have had as much as 35 degrees of frost, to say nothing of a fearful snowstorm. There was not even a place to pass the night in, for we travelled through the steppes, where the only inhabitants are Tartars, who live in poor and dirty hovels; no stoves, only badly built chim neys, where they keep up a firildify and night. They use no beds or furniture of any kind, but sleep all together on a board raised half a foot from the ground, covered with u dirty fur. On this board they lie, sit, eat—in a Nord, pass their lives; filth and - uncleanness are visible everywhere. It is strange that in so cold a climate, where there is sometimes as much as 40 degrees of frost, and the winter and snows last for more than nine months in the year—it even snows sometimes in the summer— this people should wear so little clothing. The wo men have for their only covering a dirty brown shirt, which they do not take off by day or night— worse than our gipsies. " They are a neglected people, with scarcely any idea of religion, with very moderate wants, and dragging on their wretched life from day to day, neither knowing nor desiring anything better. But even the life of the Siberian Christians is quite dif ferent from ours. How difficult will it be to become accustomed to it, if I have to remain here long ! It is fortunate for me that I shall not be alcne in this place of exile, for a month ago the Rev. M. was sent here from Grodno, and to-night came the Rev, N. We three are now seeking a common lodging, and perhaps we shall manage. Our greatest trouble will be the food, which is here prepared in such a manner that it is impossible for us to eat it. How sorry I am that I did not learn cookery, for now I shall have not only to cook for myself, but also to build a stove, for here everything is cooked in a stove after the fire is put out, as our bread is made, and no other stove is here known. Yesterday I tried to cook some pieces of meat, which I got at Tobolsk, and will make some more attempts ; but here comes another difficulty, for there are no con- diments but pepper and salt —no butter, no eggs; the potatoes are frozen ; the flour, of the com monest kind ; and the bread so bad, that it is more like clay. In a word, everything tor the table is bad. In Tobolsk we did not find this, because we were invited nearly every day to dinner to the many worthy Polish and Ruthenian resident families ; but in this Siberian Italy, where scarcely anything grows, Ido not know how we shall manage. A cookery book would be very useful to me ; but where to get it l There is not a book shop for thousands of versts round. For Heaven's sake send us some newspapers as soon as you can, for we know no thing of what is going on among you, and the idle ness to which I am here condemned doubles my anxieties. But Providence in assigning this resi dence for us has not done so without an object. I am now endeavouring to discover it, and busy my self with some useful work. " As yet my almost ceaseless travel has not al lowed me to consider my sad situation, exiled so far from my dear fatherland and relations; but what will be our further fate in these wild steppes, in the midstof people so different from us in customs and ideas, I cannot conceive. There is no Roman Ca tholic church here ; we cannot, therefore, even have the religious consolation of celebrating mass. We however, request the Archbishop of Mohilew, at St. Petersburg, to give us the necessary permission to establish a chapel at home. But when will this be done ? The correspondence in the matter will oc cupy some months. With what impatience do I await the smallest scrap of news from you. What are you doing? D 3 pray write to me, as this will be my only consolation. To the Revs. N. and R. I beg to be remembered most kindly; ask Mr, 0. and others to send us a line now and then, as well as the French journals. Tell Mr. B. to sell my little carriage for what it will fetch, or have it raffled, as I want money very much, no allowance being given us either for food or lodging, and the price of pro visions is most exorbitant. I left ready some tickets prepared for the raffle, and if you apply to Mr. C., he will help you, for he is an excellent man. " You n ee d no t b e anx i ous a b ou t m y health. The climate here is milder than in the north—even my eyes are not so bad as when I was in the citadel. IV hen I am settled and become familiar with all around me I will write to you again, for nothing can be more soothing or agreeable to my feelings. But the thought when you shall receive, if at all, my communication written from another part of the globe distresses me beyond measure. Oh ! how sad and dreary is the life of an exile—at least like could be cheered by the state of his own native land ; but alas ! you are equally oppressed by an intoler able despotism, and God only knows when it shall cease, May He have you and all our dear friends in His safe keeping, is the constant prayer of your loving brother." THE CANCER HOSPITAL, BROITIPTON. The first annual festival in commemoration of the opening of the new Hospital for Cancer at Brompton was held last night at Willis's Rooms; Mr. John Abel Smith in the chair. There were also present Sir George Bowyer, M.P., Rev. Horatio Roberts, 1)r. 'Marsden, Mr. Hoare, &c. The usual loyal toasts having been disposed of, The CHAIRMAN proposed the toast of the even ing, " Success to the Cancer Hospital." It was an institution, ha said, which was connected with all that was most painful and distressing in the history of human suffering, and he, therefore, felt sure that he should have no difficulty to encounter in recom mending it to the sympathies of those by whom he was surrounded. It was very extraordinary that notorious as had been the existence of the disease, of which 7,000 persons died annually, and of which on an average at least 30,000 were suffering, yet until very lately there had not been in existence an institution in which cancer could be treated as a specialty. It was scarcely possible to conceive that in a community so chivalrous and so charitable as Great Britain, a disease which affected fifteen, six teen, or seventeen women for one man, should be allowed to remain without a special hospital for its treatment. It was to the energy and philanthropy of Dr. Marsden that they were indebted for the foundation of such an institution. In 1851 the doctor founded the Cancer Hospital, in Cannon row, for the reception of six patients, and as time went on they were enabled, owing to the bene ficence of a generoui public, to offer increased faci lities to persons wishing to avail themselves of the advantages of such an institution. There were some persons who objected to special hospitals; but in a community like that of London they be came necessary, as the same disease presented itself under a variety of forms could not fail to arrest the attention of the medical staff, and to them the pro fession were sure to appeal. The same arguments which were used against an hospital in which chil dren could inhale fresh air had been urged against the present hospital, but with the same want of suc cess. In a country district special hospitals might be objectionable, but in such a place as the metro polis they became an actual necessity ; for it was to the experience of the members of the profession re siding in ,the metropolis the provincial surgeons looked for guidance in the treatment of all compli cated diseases, and without the aid of special hos pitals it was impossible that such diseases could be either fully or accurately studied. A liberal donation of about £5OO followed the appeal of the chairman. The musical arrangements were under the man agement of Mr. Ransford, who was ably supported by his daughter, Miss Barrow, and his son. On more than one occasion the singing of Miss Grace Barrow elicited general applause. ROYAL CALEDONIAN ASYLUiII. Last evening, the forty-fifth anniversary festival of this institution was celebrated at the Freemasons' Tavern, Great Queen's-street, Lincoln's• inn -fields, under the presidency of Earl Russell, who numbered amongst his more immediate supporters the Duke of Buccleuch, the Marquis of Abercorn, the Earl of Fife, Lord Stratford de Redcliffe, Sir Charles Macgregor, Sir Stuart Donaldson, Sir S. Heron Maxwell, Sir George Clerk, Bart., Sir J. Dalzymple Hay, Sir J. Gordon Cumming, Colonel Sykes, M.P., the Bishop of Nova Scotia, the Marquis de Paroles, the Minister from Monte Video, the Spanish Con sul-General, &c. The institution, it appeared, was founded for the purpose of supporting and educating the children of soldiers, sailors, and marines (natives of Scotland), who have died in the service of their country, and of indigent Scotch parents, resident in London, not receiving parochial relief. According to the speech of the Chairman in proposing the toast of the even ing—" The Royal Caledonian Asylum, and may the offspring of the brave never want a friend"—the institution was incorporated at the close of the war in 1815, and since that time a large number of children had received an education through its agency who would otherwise have received no edu cation at all. There were now 118 children upon the books of the asylum, and the committee were most anxious to extend the means at their disposal, for experience showed that they could do a much larger amount of good than they had yet accom plished if the funds at their command were in creased. At present it appeared that when there were five children to be elected there were not less than twenty-five candidates ; and this fact alone was sufficient to prove how greatly the advantages of the institution might be extended. When they considered the benefits derivable from such a so ciety, they should reflect that in conferring those benefits upon the children of brave men who had fallen in the service of their country they were per forming an act of justice rather than of generosity. It should also be borne in mind that those who oc cupied the higher places in the army received the reward of their gallantry in the proud acknowledg ments of their country; but no such boon was in store for the poor soldier, by whom fame and im mortality could never be expected, and hence it was only right that they should have the consolation of knowing that their children would not be left to beggary. He commended this excellent institution to the goodwill of all who appreciated the benefits to be derived from its operations, and he trusted that efforts would be made to extend the sphere of its usefulness. The toast having been responded to with the greatest enthusiasm and with true Highland hon ours, Sir J. Heron Maxwell proposed the health cf the President of the institution, the Duke of Buc cleuch, who afterwards gave the health of the noble chairman. These toasts were respectively responded to with the usual Highland honours, and in the end subscriptions and donations were announced to the amount of £l,OOO. The musical arrangements were under the super intendence of Mr. Theodore Distin, who was ably assisted by Miss Poole, Mr. Carter, and others, and in addition to their vocal efforts, the company wore entertained by the band of the Scots Fusilier Guards, under the able direction of Mr. C. Godfrey, jun. Mr. Spencer officiated as toast-master. - - FATAL ACCIDENT IN THE MERSEY. LOSS OF FIVE LIVES. A sad accident occurred on Saturday evening in the Mersey. Several stevedores, who had been employed in stowing the cargo of the American ship Fairway, lying at anchor in the river, were returning from that vessel in a " gig." Wh en within a short distance of the landing-stage the boat filled with water, having either been struck by a steam-tug or partially swamped by the swell caused by the vessel's machinery. The boat being crowded, the men were in great danger of their lives, and this being noticed from the steam-tug, life-buoys were thrown out, and other means taken for their rescue. In consequence, however, of the men moving from one side of the boat to the other, in order to seize upon the ropes and buoys which were thrown to them, the gig upset, and the whole of the men were at once struggling for their lives in the water. Some boats were put off from the craft lying in the river, and also from the landing-stage, and by these means 16 men were saved. Five, how ever, were drowned, and leave wives and children unprovided for. The names of four of the men who were drowned are—Michael loran, Patrick Daly, Patrick M'Donald,and Jas. M‘Kenna. Thefifth man's name is not at present known, but at the time of the accident he was a servant in the employ of the Duke of Bridgewater Trust. EARLY SWARM OF LIGURIAN BEES.—A hive of Ligurian or Italian bees, belonging to Mr. J. Swan, of Dunse, produced a fine natural swarm on the 27th May, which weighed Gib. This variety of bee, since their intro duotion, have proved themselves not only extraordinarily prolific, but also very superior honey-gatherers, and, from the forwardness of the hives at the commencement of this season, arc likely to maintain the character they have hitherto received as superior workers,—,Soloman.

Yesterday the bill of the Merthyr, Tredegar, and Abergavenny Railway Company was passed, and the case of the West Cheshire Railway Company, for branch railways in that district, was opened by Mr. Hope Scott, Q.C., and evidence taken. The cases of the opposing parties to the Bristol and Clifton, Mold, Whitchurch, and Wrexham, and Lancashire and Yorkshire Hull Extensions, are still under consideration in these committees of the Com mons. In the Lords, Mr. Stewart, the secretary of the London and North Western, and Mr. Bouch, C.E., were examined against the Rowsley and Buxton Extension of the Midland Railway, and the Crystal Palace and South London Junction and Keighley and Worth Railway Bills were passed in Lord Redesdale's committee. The Amalgamation Bill of the Eastern Counties and other companies has been brought up from the Commons, and a com mittee of the Lords is to be appointed to consider its merits and provisions. THE THAMES EMBANKMENT.—Yesterday this committee proceeded with the consideration and settlement of the clauses, some 80 in number, of this bill, and got as far as No. 21. The clauses in question relate principally to the constitution of the commission for carrying the act into execu tion, and to questions of executive detail. It was proposed by the bill as originally drawn to make the compensation to owners and occupiers of lands and properties assessable under the City of London Municipal Improvement Act, but the committee negatived the proposition, and inserted clauses making such compensation assessable only under the Lands Clauses Consolidation Act. One of the most important clauses (21), now under considera tion, provides for the various works and improve ments to be authorised by the Act, and for the further consideration of which the committe ad journed to this day. THE PUBLIC EXPENDITURE. Yesterday some Parliamentary returns were issued relating to the public expenditure. The expenditure for 1860-1, exclusive of the ex pense of fortifications, but including the vote in 1861-2 of £17,984 for excess of expenditure for re venue departments, was £72,810,043, from which £288,218 can be deducted as drawback on wine, charged on account of expenditure instead of being deducted from revenue, leaving the expenditure at £72,521,825. The expenditure for 1861-2 (exclusive of fortifi cations) was £71,116,485, from which £278,044 is deducted for votes for excesses of former years in the army, Russian war, and revenue departments, leaving the actual expenditure for the last year's expenses at £70,838,441. The estimated expenditure for 1862.3 (exclusive of fortifications) is £70,000,000, which is re duced to £69,000,293 by the following deduc tions :—Amount included in the army esti mates, for the first time, on account of sums re payable out of the revenues of India, £730,000; also, on account of increased number of cadets at Sandhurst College, to be balanced by a correspond ing payment to the exchequer for contributions to be received from students, £12,700; amount ad vanced out of the Customs revenue in 1861-2, for excess of differential dues paid beyond the vote for the year, to be repaid to revenue out of a vote to be taken in the Miscellaneous Civil Estimatesfor 1862-3, £66,304; additional provision included, for the first time, in the estimated expenditure for 1862-3, per Act 24 Viet., c. 3, for payment to the Bank of Eng land of the gross charge for the management of the public debt, balanced by a corresponding amount to be paid by the bank to the credit of revenue, making the total of th e d e d uct i ons x £ 9 1 9 9 9 0 : 3 7 7 0 0, 7and leaving the estimated expenditure for the coming year, as we have said, £ 6 9,000,293. In 1860-1, £.50,000 was expended on fortifica tions, and £3,190 of annuity created. In 1861-2, £970,000 was expended for the same purpose, and £61,559 annuity created. Thus the fortifications hitherto have cost £1,020,000, with £64,748 of annuity created. _ Tables of the receipts and expenditure for army and militia services for the year ended March 31, 1861, were issued this morning, with "explanations" of the causes of the excess of nearly £1,000,000 in the expenditure on the ordinary items.

(Sittings in Banco, before Lord Chief Justice Cock burn, Justices Wightman, Crompton, and Black burn.) COTTAM Y. METROPOLITAN RAILWAY COMPANY. In this cause a rule nisi had been obtained to show cause why a certiorari should not issue to bring up an inquisition and judgment taken under the Lands Clauses Act, in the matter of a claim for compensation made by Messrs. Cottam. The ground of claim was, that the railway company had inter fered with the support which the plaintiff formerly enjoyed from the soil in the public street under which the company were constructing their lice of railway, and the ground of complaint was that the under sheriff's assessor had inquired into the plaintiff's right to the said support instead of limit ing the inquiry to the amount of compensation. The jury found, under the assessor's direction, that the plaintiff was entitled to nothing. Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., and Mr. J. Brown, supported the rule; Mr. Lush, Q.C., Mr. Horace Lloyd, and Mr. Holloway, showed cause against it. The arguments were of a purely legal character, and the case presented such points of difficulty that on the suggestion of the Bench it was put in a train to b© taken before the Court of Error. lIORROCKS V. TIIE METROPOLITAN RAILWAY COM- PAM.% This was also an action for compensation, and it was arranged that it should stand over till the decision in the first case. QUINN Y. DARBY. This was a rule obtained last term by Mr. Chas. Russell, for an attachment against the defendant for not executing a deed of separation between him self and his wife. Mr. Edward James, Q.C., and Mr. J. Clarke showed cause against the rule ; Mr. Brett, Q.C., and Mr. Charles Russell supported it. It appeared that the plaintiff, who is the defen dant's wife's father, brought an action against the defendant for necessaries supplied to her after she had left her husband. The action was entered for trial at the Liverpool summer assizes, 1861, when an agreement to separate was come to. The amount of alimony was fixed at £2O per annum, and it was agreed that a deed of separation should be executed, the terms of which, in case of dispute, were to be referred to Mr. Fisher, conveyancer, Liverpool. The deed was prepared in the first instance by Mr. Fisher. The parties differed, and they went before him, when it was finally settled. The difference that now arose with reference to the children. The terms settled by Mr, Fisher with reference to them were " that she (the defendant's wife) shall be at liberty to have all or any of her children with her, and to have free and uninterrupted converse with them at the house in which she shall then be on Monday in every week, or two hours on each of such days, between 10 and 12 o'clock in the day, the children to be brought from the residence of the said Edward Darby, or other place of their abode, by the said Mary Ann Darby, or by some one for her." The deed further provided that the residence of the children should be in Liverpool, unless the defen dant, who holds an office in the Customs, should be moved to another place, or unless the children should otherwise require, &c. Mr. Brett, in supporting the rule, consented to the introduction of words limiting the house to which the children were to be brought to their mother to within a reasonable distance. Mr. Edward James, in showing cau se aga i ns t th e rule, said his client felt so strongly on the matter that he thought he would go to gaol rather than execute the deed. The Lord Chief Justice regretted such a statement had been put forth. It was tantamount to a deli berate statement that the defendant would disobey the order of the Court in case it should be against him. Ultimately the rule was made absolute, the words above to be introduced, and the attachment to issue with costs if the defendant did not execute. Rule absolute accordingly. IN RE DE MEDINA, AN ATTORNEY. In this case, Mr. De Medina had been fined £lOO and suspended for three years by the Court of Ex chequer for certain malpractices as an attorney. Mr. Garth, on behalf of the Incorporated Law Society, brought the subject under their lordships' notice. The Court considered that before acting in the matter it would be better to call upon the attorney for an explanation or answer. Rule nisi granted. BAIL COURT. (Sittings at Nisi Prius, at Westminster, before Mr. Justice Mellor and a Common Jury.) TENNANT V. BANKILART AND OTHERS. This was an action to recover the amount of cer tain tolls for goods, &c., carried on a canal in South Wales. Amongst other pleas was one of a set off. Mr. Karslake, Q.C., and Mr. Prentice were coun sel for the plaintiff; Mr. Chambers, Q.C., Mr. Lush, Q C., and Mr. Raymond were counsel for the de fendants. The learned Judge suggested a rofere•nco, as the best mode of disposing of this case, but the learned counsel, after conferring together, said the case must go on. The case accordingly proceeded, and a num ber of leases, agreements, documents, &c., were put in, when the jury interposed and asked the learned counsel to come to the question for their determi nation, because they did not understand what was going on. The learned Judge said he supposed it was neces sary to put in the documentary evidence, and they must take it for granted that the learned counsel, who were gentlemen of eminence at the bar, would not overload the case. He confessed he was as much in the dark then as the jury. (Laughter.) Mr. Prentice said the action was tried by direc tion of the Vice-Chancellor. TLe learned Judge asked why the Court of Chancery did not try the case under the powers lately granted to them. Mr. Chambers observed that they only tried the easy causes in Chancery. (Laughter.) The learned Judge said it was very hard on the common law courts that they should have to try these causes. He wished the Chancery courts would try them. It was ultimately arranged that the verdict should be entered for the plaintiff, with liberty to the defendants to move the Court above to enter the verdict for them, or to reduce the claim. Verdict accordingly. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. (Sittings in Banco, before the Lord Chief Justice Erle, and Justices Williams, Willes, and Byles.) SHEPHERD V. PAIN AND OTHERS. The plaintiff was the registrar of the archdeaconry court of Colchester, and the defendants were the churchwardens of a parish within the archdeaconry. It was the custom to hold two visitations within the arch deaconry court of Colchester, and the ques tion raised for the opinion was whether the plain tiff had a right to claim and recover fees from the churchwardens in respect of such 'visitations, which he contended he had. Mr. Justice Willes this morning delivered the judgment of the Court, and said the Court found that the office of registrar was a freehold office, and that its existence was essential to the performance of some of the functious of the archdeacon. The Court had every reason to believe that the plaintiff was entitled to the fees, and gave judgment for the plaintiff. Judgment for the plaintiff accordingly. ,Sittings at Nisi Prius, before Mr. Justice Keating and a Common Jury.) MALIN AND WIFE V. COOPER. This was an action to recover compensation in damages for injuries sustained through the alleged negligence of the defendant's servant. Mr - . Collier, Q.C., was counsel for the plaintiff. Mr. O'Malley for the defendant. It appeared from the evidence of the plaintiff's wife that she was in the defendant's public-house, the Green Gate, at Bow, with her husband and some of her children on the evening of Easter Tues day. A female came in and asked for a jug of hot water, which was handed to her by the barman, who, whilst he was handing it with one hand, tried with the other to catch hold of the young woman. The consequenee was that the hot water wis spilt over the plaintiff's wife, which scalded her neck and chest, and she was unable to do her work for several weeks. The defence was that it was a mere accident, and that only a small portion of the water fell on the plaintiff's wife. The accident occurred through no negligence on the part of the barman. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff.. Damages, £l5. _~._.- COURT OF EXCHEQUER. (Sittings in Banco, in Trinity Terra, before the Lord Chief Baron and Barons Bramwell, M ar ti n, and Channell.) BRUCE V. JONES. Ta n action on a policy o f i nsurance of a ship tried was iiedat Liverpool before Mr. Justice Mellor and in which a verdict was returned for the plaintiff. A rule had been obtained on several grounds for a new trial, and was argu e d at considerable length on Saturday, but the details are devoid of any gene ral interest. The Court now made the rule absolute be cause the verdict was a ga i nst t h e we i ght o f evi dence, intimating that they thpught there had been no misdirection by the learned judge who presided at the trial. Rule absolute accordingly. THE DERBY DAY. The Courts of Queen's Bench, Common Pleas, and Exchequer will not Fit at nisi prius on Wed nesday (to morrow) 711 E ALLEGED DEATH FROM . CHLOROFORM. ADJOURNED INQUEST. Yesterday morning the adjourned inquiry was resumed before Mr. Walthew, at the Dock Hotel, Upper East Smithfield, respecting the death of Pierre Pellitier, aged 35 years, who it was alleged had died from the administration of chloroform. 'The Deputy Coroner recalled Mr. Grant, the medical gentleman who made the post-mortem examination, who said that he has since made a further inspection of the body, when he found two fistulous openings. The mouths of the apertures were very small. and not sufficient to injure his health. The administration of chloroform would be exceedingly hazardous, as the deceased was suf fering from disease of the heart and lungs. It should be administered with a great deal of caution when a patient suffered from the diseases ho had named. It was a mistake to say that he discovered fatty de generation of the heart, as he could not in the state the body was in discover such a disease. Alfred Dieudonne was then called, and said that before the operation on the day in question he exa mined the deceased's chest for an hour. He had administered chloroform at least 400 times, and had never met with an unsuccessful case before. Ho had performed operations under chloroform in Lon don successfully. Deputy Coroner—What did you give to the re gistrar as the cause of death ? Dr, Dieudonne—l handed the registrar a certifi cate to the effect that the deocased had died of chloroform. Dr. Charles Ideate was next called, and said that ho believed that the use of chloroform in the case was very proper, and he should have done so if he had had charge of the case. He believed that there was a good pulse, and Dr. Dieudonne was quite justified in using chloroform. He believed that the condition of the right side of the heart was through the efforts to resuscitate the patient, and did not exist before death. After some further remarks by the medical men, The Deputy Coroner read over the whole of the voluminous testimony, remarking on the chief points of the case, and observed that there did not appear to be any blame against Dr. Dieudonne, who had done all he could in the case for the welfare of the deceased. The Jury returned the following special verdict : —" That the deceased died from the administration of chloroform to allay pain during an operation for fistula, given to him by his own request, and that his death was produced by mis-adventure." DEATH OF A CHEMIST FROM MORPHIA. Yesterday evening Mr. Bedford, the coroner for Westminster, resumed an inquiry at the Devonshire Arms, Moreton-street, Pimlico, touching the death of William Johnson Bolwell, aged 45, a chemist, resining at 19, Moreton -place, Pimlico, who expired suddenly in a coffee-house in Charlotte-street, kept by Mr. Heather, on Saturday morning, the 24th May, under suspicious circumstances. At the first inquest, which was held on Tuesday last, William Griffiths, surgeon, of Belgrave-road, said on the day in question he received an urgent message to go to the above coffee-house. He found the deceased there in bed in a state of insensibility. His breathing was oppressed and laborious, but not sterterous. His pulse was feeble and the feet cold. He administered what remedies he thought advis able, but deceased never rallied, and expired in about three hours. He had no doubt he died from apoplexy. The inquiry was adjourned, for the examination of deceased's stomach, and resumed yesterday, when Joseph Edward Rodgers, surgeon and analytical chemist, of Denbigh-street, said he had examined the stomach of deceased, which he received from Mr. Griffiths in a jar. He had examined the contents very carefully, and he found a quantity of morphia. He considered it was what remained over and above sufficient to destroy life, or over what had been absorbed. He had no doubt that death was caused by morphia. The symptoms were just the same as those of apoplexy. In fact it was apoplexy caused by morphia. The disease of the kidneys under which he laboured would make a small quantity fatal which might otherwise ba taken with impunity. The softening of the brain might cause imbecility. Other evidence was taken, but nothing was elicited to show what induced the deceased to leave his home to go and sleep at a coffee-house. The coroner then summed up the evidence, and the jury returned a verdict that deceased died from apoplexy induced by morphia, but whether taken medicinally or not there was no evidence to show.
