TILE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION. The long foreseen " drive" to get th e work for ',ward for the opening of the building is slowly be ginning at South Kensington. Of course the hurry will be greater, and certainly on a more extensive scale, before all is done, though on the first glance xnund the building now it seems difficult to imagine how, under any circumstances, the bustle, excite ment, and perfect roar of preparation can be greater. The aspect of the interior is at present almost be wildering, and it is hard for a stranger at first to say whether it is being pulled down or built up, filled or emptied. The whole aspect of the interior changes literally day by day. The floor, only part completed, down the nave, and the laying of which added so much to its apparent width, is already being cut up into holes for foundations, or lumbered over with piles of bricks to mark the spots where foundations are to come. Gaunt, long-armed cranes And shear legs are busy in all directions, inside and out, loading and unloading 'waggons ; hundreds and hundreds of painters creep about on the frailest of frail spiderweb looking scaffolds, painting the roofs of the galleries ; while loud above all the subordinate tumultuou rush of noises is the thundering din of Flanks d beams thrown headlong from the summit of the dome scaffolds and travellers on to the earth beneath. These beams, planks, scaffold poles, ropes, and material of all kinds are now being summarily tumbled down from every part of the building, so as to really make it almost dangerous for those who are not most careful to keep a bright look-out aloft before they - venture under any scaffolding - whatever. Of course, in the very dangerous parts warning placards, ropes, red flags, and policemen are all Put to keep back the ignorant or foolhardy, though all these safeguards are sometimes insuffi cient to prevent the men risking themselves in the most wanton manner. Yesterday a fatal accident occurred, though not from this cause. A workman engaged high up on the eastern dome scaffold missed his footing, and fell a height of 140 feet to the ground, striking with fearful violence against a beam in his descent. His death, of coarse, was instant. Both domes are now fully painted and gilt, and the gigantic scaffold frames are fast coming down. Greater progress would have been made in their removal before this but for the severe gale of Saturday and Sunday, which broke or blew out a great many of the squares of glass. This storm put the building to a more severe test than it is likely to encounter again before next winter. On Sunday afternoon, when the wind was at its worst, and the glass coming out of the dome in all direc tions, Mr. Ashton ascended to the summit of the western dome to ascertain whether the damage was due to the force of the wind acting upon the squares of glass only held in by soft putty, or whether there was any vibration in the dome ribs themselves which would account for it. A long examination made by this gentleman showed conclusively that all the ribs and ironwork were as rigid and immov able as rocks, and that it was merely the violence of the wind acting upwards from the inside that forced the squares out. In fact, the firmness with which every part of the huge structures bore the very severe strain of the gale surprised even those most confident of their strength. The goods received during this week have been almost entirely from foreign countries—the Nether lands, Saxony, Austria, Prussia, &c. The English goods, which are every day said to be coming, are still unaccouutablybackward in making their appear ance. This long procrastination is likely to give rise to most serious inconvenience as the time for the opening approaches. One result of the delay, if much longer continued, is certain to be that the building will open with the foreign courts complete and beautifully arranged, while the English will have their counters and cases but half-finished, and their displays, of course, proportionately ill-arranged and ill-shown. Exhibitors should bear in mind that the Royal Commissioners have the power to refuse to allow goods into the building after the 31st of this month, and it is a power which in some cases they would do well to exercise if they find them selves likely to be inconvenienced by this unwar rantrAble dilatoriness. We are very sorry to say that the anticipations we have so frequently expressed as to the magnifi cent effect which the interior of the building when Complete would present are not likely to be realised, in consequence of the permission which the Com missioners have given to the various English and foreign courts of exhibition to enclose themselves with wooden partitions, in order to get additional hanging space for their goods. This permission— according to the way the French are acting upon it, and others are sure to follow their example— will simply ruin the whole interior effect of the dis play, and break up what should be one grand Ex hibition into a number of detached courts as distinct from each other as so many shops. The French have received for their court a space amounting to very nearly one-quarter of the entire building. This is in what are called the 50-feet courts, under the glass ridge and furrow roof, on the south side of the building, and this space the French have per mission to enclose entirely up to within two feet of the floor of the first gallery, and from the first gal lery again up to within two feet of the actual roof of the court itself. They not only have permission thus to enclose it, but they are actually doing it. They are walling themselves in all round with deal partitions, which entirely fill in part of one side of the upper gallery nave, and, in short, darken and, as we cannot help thinking, spoil the building. It is true all these partitions will be covered with car pets, tapestries, and paper-hangings, but as, of course, other courts are already availing them selves of similar partitions, the result of the whole will be to break up the Exhibition into a great aggregation of small enclosures., which, as we have said, will be as distinct and independent of each other almost as so many shops or bazaars. The two feet spaces between the gallery floors and the roof above are nominally left for the pur poses of ventilation, for which we venture to think they will prove totally inadequate, not only to let in fresh air, but even to let out the heat and dust. We certainly have had no warm Weather yet, but even during the recent mild days, when, the sun has been shining, the heat felt through the glass roofs of these 50 feet courts gives a fore taste of what their temperature will be when crowded with visitors, totally enclosed, and a July sun blaz ing down upon them. True, the glass roofs will be screened over with canvas, for, without some such shelter, it is known the heat would be insupport table ; but the enclosure of the courts will aggravate this inconvenience in a tenfold greater degree than any amount of canvas over the roof will mitigate it. From this cause alone we believe that it will be found necessary, before the summer is half over, to d° away with the topmost line of partitions which ron from the galleries to the roof, and, as the lower "ne l3 infinitely leis objectionable, it might remain, thou g h even this last will bo a disfigurement to been nterio r . The Austrians are showing signs of being about t o e nclose themselves in a somewhat similar manner in r the very middle of the north western trans ept. But in this case the partitions are not 10 feet high , n,ad of being, as round th e French court, in al li nearly 45 feet high.

A RAILWAY TRAIN DETAINED FOR A Kiss.—On Monday morning, as the train from Kidderminster stopped at the liilston station, at 8.58 a lady rose in one of the car riages as if desirous of getting out. buf was unable to do so. Some difficulty was expo-fenced by the oflleials in opening the door, and a do/ay of a minute or so was occasioned. When, however, the door had been opened, a young man who had been all the while standing on the platforin as it' desirous of taking the seat that the lady seemed about to vacate, leaped into the compartment, gave the lady a hearty kiss, and then returned to the platform, whereupon the eyounglady resumed her seat, evidently quite deli g ht e d w ith succes s of the ruse to obtain this passing and affec tionate sain t:die:l.—Birmingham _Post, THE CIVIL WAR IN AMERICA. (From the Special Correspondent of the Times.) O NEW YORK, FEn. 25. On Friday evening I left Montreal on my way back to Washington, and had some small experis ences of the difficulties of travelling by railroad in a North American winter. During my short stay in Canada I heard frequent complaints of the 1 Grand Trunk line because time was not kept and the trains ran off the track. For the most part they were unreasonable, though they might be founded on fact. It is impossible for railway managers to be responsible for snow storms and drifts, or for accidents caused by the effect of in tense cold on metalwork. All that astonishes me is that the trains are able to make such good time of it, though no one can be supposed to look favour ably on a detention of four or five hours, hungry and frowsy, in a long over-heated box on wheels, filled with some 40 or 50 fellow-creatures in a state of high wrath and perspiration. Those abominable stoves ! They are perhaps indispensable, but they are nuisances. Mr. Blackwell, the managing direc tor—whose health has broken down in his enclea i yours to set the railroad right, so that he is obliged to retire, to the regret of all who served with him —has made some very interesting researches on the contraction and expansion of the Victoria-bridge, but, as his observations will, no doubt, be made pub lic on his return, I shall only may that the durabi lity of iron and all its other properties are tested to a great degree in these latitudes, and that it would not be quite safe, even if it were practicable, to run the trains at a high rate of speed during the winter here. But the frozen frontier is by no means an adequate defence in case of war. In two hours from Montreal the American station at Rouse's Point is reached. American influence in the shape of news papers, periodicals, and ideas, extend much further. Among the passengers there was less exultation than might have been expected, though a confident opinion was expressed that the neck of the rebellion was broken, and that only a few kicks and convul sive struggles were to be expected from its galva nised extremities; indeed, Americans almost justify Mr. Bancroft's assertion that no man can under stand them, and that De Tocqueville was unable to penetrate the mysteries of the national character. There was a sort of pride in the way they spoke of the fighting of the "rebels" at Donnelson and of the heavy losses. " They're not so easy to be whipped. It's only our chaps could have done it' , Although Saturday was the day of Washington's birth, and was to be celebrated all over the Union, there were no great signs of jubilee in the villages and cities we passed on our way. There were " Stars and Stripes " waving, to be sure, from steeple and window, but in no great abundance. The cold and snow, which lay deep till the train got south of Albany, may have had the effect of pre venting out-door manifestations. Certainly, there was no token of any unusual excitement or anima tion on the platforms and in the railway stations. There seemed a great deal of sympathy for the loss sustained by the President, who was tenderly attached to his little boy Willie. It is likely that he has made a favourable impression on the popular mind by his recent course in politics, notwithstand ing some drawbacks and obstacles connected with the less public affairs of his administrative life. But the favourite of the day is Mr. Stanton ; he has touched the heart of his countrymen. They like his sharp, clear-cut manifestoes, and his sounding pronunciamientoes. The recent successes are, they think, somehow or other connected with his acces sion to power. He has, indeed, endeavoured to dis abuse the Northerners of the delusion that the movements of Grant, Buell, and Landor are por tions of a concerted plan, each directed from head quarters in reference to the other, and has plainly intimated that their victories are due to individual inspiration, and to Fortune typifying the God of Battles. One of his boldest acts has been the libera tion of the victims of the lettres de cachet of the State Department, on the condition that they give parole not to afford aid or comfort to those engaged in hostility against the United States, and his seizure of the agent of a journal which pretends to exercise great influence in America as a spy has been regarded with satisfaction, for it is proof of his indifference to the enmity he will no doubt pro voke in the discharge of his duty, and of his con tempt for its power. Some discussion has arisen in reference to his relations with General M'Clellan, against whom something very like a cabal has been formed inside and outside the capital. I have ' what appears to me excellent authority for stat ing that ,sir. Stanton gives his whole support to the General, and is one of his most powerful and trusty friends. It may be untrue that he uttered the words of praise attributed to him by the associated press reporter at the recent meeting of railroad managers at Washington, but he has privately repeated sentiments analogous to those which appeared in the newspapers. One thing is quite certain. The concentration of Federal troops in front of Manassas has paralysed the best army the Confederates have in the field, and has kept ' them away from the west and south-west. It may be considered, indeed, as the only well equipped force (inferior as it is in that respect to the oppos ing army) which the Confederates have been able to assemble. The prisoners who have surrendered at Donnelson are described as being almost in rags. Their arms of a most wretched quality. And yet their sortie, or rather attack on the Federal right was characterised by much energy and gallantry. The prisoners taken at Roanoke were, as I heard from a trusty eye-witness, altogether unfit for a contest with troops provided with Enfield rifles and rifled muskets. They were armed with all sorts of firelocks, sporting rifles, smooth bores, flint guns, and the like, and were clad in a great variety of garments. What on earth they put themselves, or were put on that island for, is not easy to see. Pounded by gunboats from ranges which made it impossible fur their ordnance to reply with effect, and cut off by water from escape, it would have been much better for them to have blown up their works (or to have spared time and money in build ing them), and left the inland to its fate. It is obvious that the gunboats and mortar vessels armed with 9in. and 1 lin. Dahlgrens and 13in. mortars must make earthworks such as the Confederates construct untenable. When they approach close to the guns, as at Fort Donnelson, they must prove irresistible, and they cannot be touched by the ord nance directed against them. It is probable that New Orleans will experience the truth of this as soon as Captain Porter's mortar flotilla is ready. Savannah is in much danger. One of the citizens told me to-day he did not think it could be defended, and that it would be obliged to capi tulate, and New Orleans may be reduced to the same necessity if the success which has attended the Federals in the West follows them to the South. The burning or Winton by the Federals is not likely to conciliate the people, and as yet there is but little proof of the strong Union sentiment said to exist iu most of the States. On the existence of such a feeling must depend the ultimate and perma nent success of the Federals. If they are obliged to garrison those enormous States, ruined in resources by the conflict, and if they must have an armed oc cupation of a hostile South, it is beyond one's com prehension to understand by what means they are to bear up against the burden which will be placed on the Eastern States. The mere administration of the laws in the States by Federal officers will be at tended by the greatest difficulties. It will be re marked with surprise that the Confederate soldiers taken prisoners are not at all destitute of funds, and that they are well fed. Great quantities of stores have also been accumulated by their Government, much of which iu the south-west has fallen into i the hands of the Federals. We now hear Nashville II "B surrendered or been taken, and that the Confederates have resolved to make a stand at Mur freesborou h g • Columbus, cut off from all commu nication, i s in the C on f eder such danger that I cannot see how Mt's can h o ld it But still there re mains th e h eart of the rebellion covered by a mass " of bone and muscle. of their retreating m The negroes follow the steps asters. Indeed, if they come near General lialleek , s lines they would get a very cool reception. T hose who think the re bellion is crushed out are a little sanguine. One of the most hopeful signs of the temper of Con of the Con gress was its refusal to receive the flags THE SUN,' LONDON THURSDAY, federates as the standards of a conquered enemy,l but it is difficult to see hoW the arrest of General Buckner as a traitor can be justified without the in• troduction of very strange anomalies in the policy of the Government towards the Confederates. On the same day in which Mr. Jefferson Davis delivered his address (the copy of which will be found else where) the Northerns were celebrating their vic tories with some enthusiasm and much speech making. There were illuminations in New York on Saturday, but they were by no means very general or very good. Many people in the best streets con tented themselves by turning on the gas in all their burners, opening the shutters, and drawing up the blinds. There were numbers of flags and a fair dis play of Chinese lanterns; bnt the Americans who have seen similar demonstrations in European cities will not be offended by the assertion that the New York illuminations had a very poor effect. There is many a sad heart here, for the Federal losses are known to exceed 1,200. The Confederates have probably lost as many more. Some say their losses amounted to not less than 4,000 killed and wounded. The complaint is made over and over again, by journalists and personal friends whose opinion is valuable, that England has evinced no " sympathy" with the United States, and if it be remarked that the tone of the press and the acts of the Government of the United States have been generally charac terised by an unfriendly spirit, it is replied that the great mass of the American people did not approve either the one or the other. With no evidence of real friendship, and with many signs the other way, it is not unnatural if the old country should think that the people who begin their separate existence in rebellion should entertain the sentiments ex pressed in their press and in the acts of their Go vernment. The worst designs are constantly and unblushingly attributed to Great Britain. At the very moment when England was ',rejecting all the counsels which might induce her to favour the Confederacy she was represented to be plotting to destroy the United States, and to be deterred only by fear of the North from the overt acts necessary for the accomplishment of her purpose. How in the name of common sense or fair play can any people be expected to regard with sympathy the struggles of another people, of which the successful issue is proclaimed to be the sure forerunner of a brutal and causeless outrage on the territories which belong to it ? The American gentry, the merchants and great traders, may affect to consider such mani festations as of no consequence, to deny their in fluence, and deprecate the idea of receiving them as the utterance of public opinion. It may be so in their own case. But here is the fact, that at the very first gleam of success the organs of the New York people creep out of the shadow of humility, and strut in the sun with the same offen sive swagger which seems their natural walk. The old insolent threatenings are repeated—the imme diate result and uses of the victories at Donnelson and elsewhere are to stimulate the journal which boasts that it circulates more numbers than all the other newspapers in the city put together, to an nounce the annexation of Canada, Cuba, and every island of the West Indies ? And the people of Great Britain forsooth are to "sympathise" with the United States, and to hope for a success, the result of which is thus, on this 24th of February, described as follows:—" When the Union and peace are re stored, as they will be before the 4th of July, there will be three-quarters of a million of Northern _and more than a quarter of a million of Southern soldiers —upwards of a million in all, of the finest troops in the world. Most of these men will prefer to con tinue fighting rather than be disbanded." What for we are told very plainly. " It will be necessary for our own safety to sweep away from every part of this continent and every island that belongs to it every vestige of kingcraft and foreign domination." Now, if Americans believe what they are most fond of hearing and reading, there is danger of their try ing to carry out these lessons. It is melancholy to observe such workings of a very "free" and very "cheap press." The low price of the newspapers compels the proprietors to seek a large circulation, and appeal to the passions, ignorance, and preju dices of the multitude as the only means of doing so. In face of the recent action and conduct of the British Government the " popular" journals of New York declare that the Ministry had " a salutary dread of being involved in war with the United States in consequence of the commission of some act, underhand or overt, of active sympathy with the Southern rebels, and determined to wheedle, to prevaricate, and even to endeavour to intimidate Mr. Lincoln from time to time, hoping that even tually the fortune of arms', would be with the rebels, and then the Queen would and could re cognise them !" If these are not the sentiments of the American people, it would be well that they should be cleared from the charge in some authoritative manner. With success we are told will come our danger—how unprovoked let the speeches and acts of our statesmen prove to the world. The North is already disposing of all the Confe derate States as if it held them in the hollow of its hand. A term varying from 30 to 90 days is as signed by the more enthusiastic to the completion of the work. A few think the conflict may go on till next winter. There are still some faint, small voices whispering from out the mouths of shaking heads that the real question is now about to be de cided, and that it all depends on the existence of a large amours of Union feeling in the Southern States whether the successes gained will lead to the restoration of the Union or to the ruin of both North and South. The tribune in its peculiar style, recommends the slaveoweers of the South to emigrate en masse to Africa, where they can deve lop their domestic institu ion to any extent with out harm to their neighbours, and at the same time cheers up the North-Eastern States by the assurance of a speedy advance of the army of the Potomac, which shall restore the balance in their favour against the preponderance gained by the recent victories of the men of the Western States. The latter are, indeed, in a state of high delight and exultation. As they alone are " saving the Re public," they may decline to pay anything towards the expenses. A gentleman who had a good deal of conversation with the Confederate prisoners at Roanoke, says they spoke with unanimous bitter- ness of the North, and that he could not detect a trace of " Union sentiment," though they were in captivity. Burnside's expedition has failed to elicit any " Union sentiment" in North Carolina, which was said to be bubbling up with it, and sent a "Bogus senator" to represent it in Congress. In Clarksville two-thirds of the inhabitants fled on the approach of the Federals, and with rare exceptions the flight of the people and the firing of their property by their own hands, as at Eden ton, have been the usual modes of expressing their joy at the sight of the stars and stripes. Mr. Davis gives no sign of submission as yet, though the news from England must be a heavy blow to the Confederates, while it ought to shame the Federal press into a retractation of its many calumnies against the purity of our intentions. It has, indeed, produced some effect already, and it must convince the people who reflect that through out there was but one policy and one sentiment in England as regarded the preservation of an honour able neutrality. It may not be out of place to ob serve that no foreshadowing of Federal victories had been cast over the waters when Parliament opened, for it is fashionable to attribute all the moderation of Great Britain to fear of the Ameri can people or of somebody else. There is, in addi tion to the details of the victories in the west, much interesting matter from the other States—the meet ing of the Confederate Congress, the address of Mr. Davis, the various movements of troops, the settle ment of the Treasury note issue, preparations for the increase of Burnside's force, which is intended, as p I informed you long ago, to be directed against New Berne, the Butler expedition against Mobile or New Orleans, the operations of Commodore Foote in the western rivers, the advance of Buell, the oc cupation of Nashville which seems pretty well con firmed, another defeat of the übiquitous and much bewhipped but always rising Price, the lodgment of the Federals in Arkansas, Landor's much praised dash at Blooming Green, Halleck's rigid adminis tration : in the west, the ex ecu ti on - o f G or d on , th e slave captain, with its attendant horrors, each and ' all will attract attention. Although the infliction of capital punishment on Gordon after so long an interval had elapsed from the last instance in which .the extreme sentence was enforced that it might have been supposed to have been abrogated by non user was deprecated by some persons, the cause of their disapproval may have been the disgusting and brutal accidents of the execution. Whatever may be the merits of Mr. Lincoln's Government, if it be to it the present most vigorous proceedings directed against the slave trade be due, civilisation and hu manity will thank the men who dare to strike at the heart of this abominable traffic, The United States Circuit Court opened on Tuesday, and the activity of the authorities has bretight the follow ing persons to trial for slave trading Samuel B. Haynes, first mate of the Nightingale indicted for the capital offence; Bradley Winslow, second mate of the same vessel, is also indicted on the capital charge; Williams H. Byrnes, master of the barque W. L: Libby, indicted for the capital offence ; Morgan Fredericks, first mate of the Cora, indicted for the capital offence; Erastus H. Booth, master of the Buckeye, indicted for the capital offence ; George Garnett, first mate of the same vessel, indicted for the capital offence ; Henry C. Crawford, master of the ship City of Norfolk, in dicted for the capital offence; Wm. Warren, first mate, and David Hall, second mate, of the Erie, un der command of the late Capt. Gordon, are also in dicted for the capital offence; Henry Connor, John Williams, and John Morris, part of the crew of the Triton, are indicted for the minor offence ; Albert Horne, indicted for fitting out the City of Norfolk as a slaver, and Joseph E, Turner, for fitting out the barque Cora. The condition of the negroes at Port Royal is the subject of much complaint and discussion. It is in no advocacy of slavery I express my belief that they are much worse off in consequence of their change of masters. They are described as in want of cloth ing, forced to work, kept under strict surveillance. Still, they are free. Well may they ask, "If this be freedom, what is slavery ?" There are some 2,000 of them inside the camp lines, and, according to the Tribune correspondent, a large number of them are exposed to outrage aSd robbery. " The rooted contempt of the Anglo-Saxon for the African race shows itself in hourly acts of fraudu• lent oppression. The manner in which a portion of this Northern army allows itself to act and speak towards the negroes is a disgrace to the civilisation it assumes to represent and defend." The reported evacuation of Columbus by the Con federates is contradicted. They were still there in strong force. Au expedition, composed of four iron clad gunboats and two mortar boats, with the 27th Illinois and a battalion of the Bth Wisconsin regi ments, made a reconnaissance down the river on the 24th, and discovered that the Confederates bad seized all the flat boats and skiffs as far up as they dared. Also that there had been a movement among the troops at Columbus. Whether reinforcements had arrived was not learnt. The gunboats and mortarboats were getting into position on the Mis souri side of the river, when a Confederate steamer with a white flag made its appearance. Some Con federate officers went on board the Cincinnati, and a consultation took place lasting over two hours, with what result had not yet been made known, bat the expedition had returned. The Confederates under General Price had again been unfortunate. On the 25th General Halleck telegraphed from St. Louis as follows : " General Price's army has been driven from his stronghold at Cross-hollow. The enemy left his sick and wounded, and such stores as he could not destroy. He burnt his extensive barracks at that place, to prevent our troops occupying them. General Cur tis says ,most of our provisions for the last few days have been taken from the enemy." In the absence of any more authentic information respecting Nashville, we can only give the following telegrams : " Washington, Feb. 25. " General M'Clellan received a despatch an hour since from the West, confirming the report that Nashville, Tennessee, is taken by General Buell's army, and stating that the rebels have fallen back on Murfreesboro, about thirty miles south of Nash ville." "St. Louis, Feb. 25. " The Republican's Cairo despatch says the occu pation of Nashville is confirmed. Our troops took possession without opposition. Floyd fled as usual. The report that Governor Harris had ordered all the Tennessee troops to lay down their arms and go home is confirmed. The Tennessee Legislature is called for next Monday. No opposition to Union movements is made anywhere on the Cumberland. It is reported that white flags are flying at Memphis." " Cairo, Feb. 25. " The following is a special to the Chicago Tri bune—' Nashville was yesterday occupied by 10,000 troops under General Buell. The National flag is now flying over the State-house. The Tennessee Legislature on Saturday week, to meet again at Memphis. It is reported that commissioners have been appointed to confer with the National autho rities at Washington to arrange terms for the trans fer of allegiance, and that Governor Harris offered to turn the rebel forces over to the Union. A gentleman who escaped from Columbus, arriving here last night, represents a general Union senti ment in Tennessee, and thinks the Legislature will acquiesce in the recommendation of Governor Harris, because fearful of a rising Union sentiment. When he left Columbus there were 30,000 rebel troops there. Another gentleman who arrived from Nashville reports that the rebels will make another stand at Mursfreesboro. All the rebel troops had left Nashville except a police force. When Governor Harris fled with the Legislature to Memphis he burnt the State library, and distributed a large amount of commissary stores and provisions among the citizens. Stores were closed and business en tirely suspended. The Secessionists were leaving with their stock, and the negroes following the Confederate army." " St. Louis, Missouri, Feb. 25. " Two old citizens of St. Louis, who left Memphis on Tuesday last, have arrived here. They report that the day they left Memphis the Legislature ar rived there from Nashville. They were to meet on the following day to discuss State affairs. They state that people were rapidly arriving from Nash ville, and in large numbers. All the gold and silver that could be got hold of had been moved to Mem phis. A panic of colossal dimensions had seized the people of the State, and Confederate scrip was of no value whatever. There were only 3,000 rebels troops at New Madrid, under Colonel Gunter. Earthworks were being erected at a short distance from New Madrid. Jeff. Thompson held no command there. Sunday evening last 13 steamboats landed a strong force of National troops at Commerce, a few miles above Cairo, whose destination is supposed to be some point in Arkansas." A despatch, dated Cairo, February 24, reports that the Confederates had strong fortifications on Pine Bluffs, 12 miles from Nashville, where they intended making a stand. Southern a d v i ces repor t that on the 20th seven gunboats of G enera l B urns id e ' s e xp e diti on passed up the C 'lowan River in the direction of the Sea board and Roanoke Railroad.

The Richmond Despatch, of the 19th ult., says : " After three days of the most desperate fighting ever witnessed on this continent (so declares a vete ran regular officer), the most desperate fighting against the most tremendcus odds, in which day after day the multittulinons host of invaders were driven back past their own camps, ourglorious Spartan hand, from sheer exhaustion, has been borne down by a new avalanche of reinforcements piled upon the already enormous weight aga i ns t w hi c h th e y h a ve hitherto struggled with comp l ete success an d h as suffered one of those misfortunes which are common to war, but which entail no dishonour on our cause, and which will only animate to the most stern and undying resistance every true Southern heart. If these bloody barbarians, whose hands are now soaked to the elbows in the lif e -bl oo d o f men d e fending their homes and firesid es , d ream th a t they are now one inch nearer the subjugation of the South than when they started on their infernal mission, they prove themselves to be fools and madrneni as -well as savages and murderers. They have taught tis a lesson, we admit ; they have admonished us to be more wary and circumspect, to husband with greater care our limited resources, and not to underrate our enemy. But they have also placed between them and us a gulf that can never be crossed by their arts or arms, and a universal determination to die, if die we must, for our country, but never permit her to be subjugated by the most malignant, the most mur derous, the meanest of mankind, whose name is at this moment such a byeword of scorn and reproach throughout Europe for their combined cruelty and cowardice, that their own ambassadors eannot stand the scorn of the world's contempt, and are all anions to fly back to the - United States. Their success at Fort Donnelson, gained only by vat superiority of numbers, will only have the effect of converting the whole population of the South—men,women,andchil dren—into an immense army, who will resist them at every step, and eveiywhere ' welcome them with bloody hands to hospitable graves.'

CROWN SIDE. (Before Mr. Justice Mellor.) George Evans and William Lux were indicted for cutting and wounding William Molesbury, in the county constabulary, at Ecclesfield, on the 12th of December last, with intent to main and disfigure him and to do him some grievous bodily harm. Mr. Blanshard and Mr. Gully prosecuted ; Mr. Campbell Foster defended the prisoner Evans, and Mr. V. Blackburn the other prisoner. It appeared that on the night of Dec. 12, about 12 o'clock, the prosecutor, William Molesbury, one of the county constabulary, was on duty in the neighbourhood of Aldwark-hall, a mile or two south of Rotherham, in company with a policeman named Boulton. They had each their staves, and were armed in addition with cutlasses. They heard the voices of men approaching, and concealed themselves in a shed. They saw three men advancing on the road leading from Derbyshire, each carrying a large bundle. Suspecting them not to have come honestly by what they were carrying, they rushed out upon them as they approached and demanded of the pri soner Evans what his bundle contained. Evans replied that the officers should not take either him or his bundle. At this time the two officers had each hold of him by the collar of his coat, and he struck at Molesbury with his fist and knocked him down. Evans closed with him and threw him, and the two men rolled over and over on the ground. At this time the other officer had gone off in pursuit of the prisoner Lux, who had run away. The two men continued struggling on the ground until the prosecutor succeeded in getting uppermost and both got up, the policeman imme diately seizing hold of the prisoner, when, according to the prosecutor's statement, the prisoner seized hold of his cutlass, which was hanging in the scabbard at his left side, and, drawing it, began to cut away at the prosecutor over the head and arms with it. The prosecutor cried out for_ assistance, and his comrade returned to his aid, and then found the prisoner seated on the top of the prosecutor, whom he had knocked down, hacking away at his head with the cutlass. Boulton aimed a blow at him with his staff, which knocked him off the prosecutor, and then a third man came up and engaged with Boulton, and they tad a set to, Boulton with his cutlass and the third' man with a hedge stake. The prosecutor 'd the prisoner Evans then had a long struggle for the cutlass. At length, Boulton having freed himself from his antagonist, the two policemen contrived to overpower and secure the prisoner Evans. The prosecutor was found to be severely wounded about the head and arms, and covered with blood. The prisoner had also three wounds on his head, cut to the bone, and a wound on his arm, and was covered with blood. The prisoner Lux was after wards apprehended. On the part of Lux ' it was submitted th a t th ere was no evidence that he had attacked the police men, or that he had a common purpose with those who had, as he had run away as soon as the fight commenced. A verdict of acquittal was directed as regarded Lux, but Evans was found guilty of unlawfully wounding, and was sentenced to 18 months' im prisonment with hard labour. CIVIL SIDE. (Before Mr. Justice Willes.) KAY AND WIFE V. BERRY. This was an action for an assault. Mr. Cole appeared for the plaintiffs, and Mr Overend, Q C., for the defendant. _ _ The plaintiff is the landlord of the Sun Inn, at Huddersfield, adjoining to which is a small dram shop, in which his wife usually served customers. The defendant, in company with some friends, came in on the evening of the 9th of January, and called for some drink, and when he was served with it he asked for the master, and said he was " a thief," and then used very abusive and insulting language to Mrs. Kay, attributing loose conduct to her. He then seized her by the arm and tried to lift her over the counter, and otherwise assaulted her, and she, having recently been confined, suffered consi derably by the assault. In cross examination Mrs. Kay - stoutly denied having used any strong language or' struck first, and only admitted having " nipped up the cork crusher" to make use of it in self-defence if it should have become necessary. The defence was that the order of things was reversed, and that the strong language and vio• lence were commenced by the female plaintiff, who was enraged at being told by the defendant that her husband had lost £7 in betting, and thereupon called him a thief. Witnesses were called to sup port that view of the case. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff.— Damages, 40s. MIDLAND CIRCUIT.—NOTTINGTIAM, March 11. NISI PRIUS COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Williams.) ROYLE, CLERIC, V. WARD. Mr. Macaulay, Q.C., and Mr. O'Brien were coun sel for the plaintiff; Mr. Boden, Q.C., and Mr. Bristowe for the defendant. This was an action brought for slanderous words spoken of the plaintiff by the defendant, nominally to recover damages, but in reality to vindicate the character of the plaintiff against the statements made by the defendant of his having taken indecent liberties with her. The plaintiff, who is 47 years of age, was vicar and perpetual curate of Wellow, where he resided with his wife, three daughters, and a son, aged 14, and one serva n t, th e d e f endant, Emma Ward, who had been in his service eight months at the time of the alleged slander. From the statements of counsel and the evidence in support of them, it appeared that Mrs. Royle had occasion to leave home on Friday, Oct. 4, to take her daughters to school. She returned on Sunday, the 6th. On Monday, Oct. 21, a cricket match was played at Wellow, and at 3 o'clock that afternoon Mrs. Royle gave the defendant leave to go and see the match for an hour or two. She went, but in stead of returning after the match, she went to a dance at the Durham Ox Inn, and did not return until 9 p.m. Mrs. Royle told the defendant that she ought to he ashamed of her conduct, and chided her. The defendant made no reply, nor did she say anything in the way of complaint of Mr. Hoyle until the Tuesday following, whon Mrs. Royle told her that she should inform the defendant's mother of her ill-behaviour. Mrs. Royle accordingly went to the girl's mother and spoke to her about the girl's misconduct, and on returning, about half-past 5, found the defendant dressed in her Sunday's best, as if going out. Mrs. Royle bade her bring in the key of the kit c h en door and the lamp. She brought in the lamp, but not the key, and putting on her bonnet, went off to the Durham Os, where she remained dancing, au the village feast was still going on. Ab out 8 o ' clock a man named Newham Came by Mrs, Royle's desire, and bade her come home. She replied that she should not, alleg ing, as he said, no reason, though, according to her own evidence, she had added that she had her rea son, although die did not declare them. Mrs. R,oyle kept the gate open for her till le') at night, but the girl did not return, but continued dancing until 1 o'clock in the morning, and passed the night at the house of Anne Moore, daughter of the parish clerk, lying down upon her bed without undressing. Be tween 12 and 1 on the following day she went to Mrs. Royle's, and told her she had come for her boxes and wages. Mrs. Boyle bade her stop, and put her hand across the door to prevent her passing. The defendant said, "It is time I left. I went 'on account of my character." Mrs. Boyle answered, "Stop, Emma; if you have anything to say bring your mother with you. The defendant said that her master had tried to get into her room. On Thurs day she returned with her mother, and repeated the charges she had previously made of the plaintiff having taken liberties with her, but not alleging ; actual commerce with her. Mr. Boyle laid a writ ten retractation before her, which he required her to sign, but she refused to do so, saying she would not make him an innocent man when he was a guilty one. Mr. Boyle then told her that he must see fur ther into the matter. Mr. Boyle, in consequence of her persistence in her story, commenced an action. On the part of the plaintiff it was insisted that the story told by the defendant was differently told to different persons, and that the silence she main tained respecting it for three weeks after the alleged occurrence of the first indecent liberties, and then only making it when she was in disgrace, rendered her statement altogether untrustworthy. The statement made to Mrs. Royle and to others was that Mr. Boyle had on the night of Friday, the 4th of October, when Mrs. Royle had gone to London, told her when she brought him the keys, accotding to custom, that he should come to her bed that nights After this overture, to which it did not seem that she had made any reply, she said that she went to bed and listened for Mr. Boyle coming up, and, having heard him make fast his door, she thought all was right, undressed, got into bed, and fell asleep. She was awakened, she said, by some one getting into her bed, and upon screaming Mr. Boyle said to her, " It's only me, Emma." She left the bed and went into the young ladies' bedroom and locked herself in. Her bed chamber, it seemed, consisted of a portion of a room, divided by a partition, the inner portion of Which was her apartment, the other through which she must pass to reach her own, being the young ladies' room, the door of which opened on a landing opposite to the door of the plaintiff. The door of the young ladies' room had a lock and key, but that of defendant, which was in the partition, formed of posts, laths, and canvass, wasronly fastened by two door large buttons. The latter was the only one she fastened, the ;outer door of the ladies' empty room being left unlocked. On the following day she said that Mr. Boyle asked her whether she had seen the slit he had made in the canvass to undo the buttons of the door, meaning, as she added, that she should sew it up. When the church Wardens came to investigate the case this slit was examined, at Mrs. Royle's request, as she thought it too small to admit a man's hand, but it appeared to be large enough, and so situated as to allow of the introduc tion of the hand for that purpose. In the statement, however, which she said she was ready to substan tiate on oath, it was affirmed that Mr. Royle had fully effected his purpose. Mr. Boyle denied on oath that there was any truth in the imputations made by the defendant. Mr. Boden addressed the jury, and contended that there were no such discrepancies in her state ments as should lead them to discredit her. The son, who was 14 years old, who slept with his father, might have been called ; he was the only one in the house besides the plaintiff and the de. fendant. It was for the jury to say whether an ignorant girl like the defendant had, or was likely to have, fabricated a story which, if false, was so likely to be detected, and for the fabrication of which there was no apparent motive of either gain or ill. feeling, which was in several circumstances corroborated, and to which, in spite of the threat and institution of proceedings, she had constantly adhered. _ _ _ . Mr. Macaulay addressed the jury in reply. There was not one atom of corroboration or of probability in the story. %Vas she brought before them as a modest girl? How, then, was that consistent with with her having been violated on the 4th of Octo ber, and held her tongue till the 23d, when she was in disgrace ? If she was admitted to be a girl of loose morals, what reliance could be placed on her statement ? His Lordship then commented on the evidence, and pointed out the question which the jury had to determine. The jury retired and, after a short ab. sence, returned a verdict for the plaintiff, with is. damages. His Lordship, upon an application for costs, at once expressed his willingness to certify. The Lord Chief Justice Cockburn sat at 10 o'clock in the Crown Court, and proceeded with the trial of prisoners. Charles Marsh and Adam Marsh, bricklayers, Martin Wilkinson, a sawyer, John Jackson, a boat man, and George Jeffrey, labourer, were placed at the bar, charged with night poaching upon land in the possession of John Whiteley, at West Drayton, on the night of the 22d of November, being armed with bludgeons and stones. Mr. F. Stephen conducted the case for the prose- cution ; the Hon. C. Leigh the case for the pri soners. It appeared from the evidence that John Cardill, Joseph Cardill, and William Jackson, keepers in the service of his Grace the Duke of Newcastle, were watching at Drayton on the night of the 22d of November when they heard the squeal of a hare, and going through a hedge near a plantation into a field, called Whiteley's field they saw several poachers. The keepers approached and were struck at by the poachers, who were the more powerful body, being six or seven is number, and who, after pelting the keepers with stones and bringing them to the ground, beat them very severely with sticks and net-pegs about their heads, necks,and shoulders. One of the gang of poachers gave evidence of their proceedings in the course of the night in question, and was corroborated by persons who met him on the same night. All the prisoners were found guilty, and were sentenced to seven years penal servitude. (Before Lord Chief Justice Cockburn.) Francis Fretwell was placed at the bar, charged upon an indictment and also upon the coroner's in quest with the wilful murder of Elizabeth Bradley, at Bilborough, on 24th July last, and pleaded not guilty. Mr. Cave conducted the prosecution ; Mr. O'Brien the defence. Both the prisoner and deceased were in humble circumstances. The deceased was a married woman who had separated from her husband, and at the time when the offence was alleged to have been committed was living in service with a Mr. Towle, a farmer at Bilborough. There had previously been an intimacy between herself and the prisoner, who was in service with Mr. Richardson, a neighbouring farmer, and this intimacy resulted in her pregnancy. The prisoner, with her full assent, if not at her sug gestion and by her desire, procured some white powder, which he gave her, telling her that it was to get rid of the child, and that she was to be care ful of it and take a little at a time. She took it in gin, and was sick, and subsequently dangerously ill. In the course of her illness she made statements re specting its cause, which led to the prisoner being taken into custody upon the charge of having ad ministered corrosive sublimate with intent to pro cure abortion. On the 22d July an examination of deceased by magistrates was taken in the presence of the prisoner and his attorney. Questions put by the prisoner in eross..examination of the deceased elicited that the deceased had herself desired to have some drug for the like purpose, and bad endea voured to purchase corrosive sublimate and oil of savin, and that the prisoner's procuring it was with her assent, if not at her request. She died on the 24th July, from the effects of poison, which the me dical evidence showed was corrosive sublimate. Upon Mr. Cave's proposing to put in the deposi tion of Elizabeth Bradley, the deceased, Mr. O'Brien objected, upon the ground that her statement did not refer to the charge now alleged against the prisoner. The admissibility of the de position depended on his having had both opportu nity and capacity to cross-examine with reference to the charge. The Lord Chief Justice regarded the case as ana logous to that of a charge of wounding with intent to maim, upon which the examination of the wounded man might be taken, and the prisoner afterwards, in consequence of the wounded man's death, being charged with murder, the depositions would be admissible as relating to one and the same transaction. The deposition was then put in evidence and read. At the conclusion of the case for the prosecution, Mr. O'Brien submitted that there was no evidence for the jury to support the charge of wilful murder. Previously to the act enabling accessories to be tried as principals the prisoner could not have been put upon his alai for the offence now charged. The prisoner therefore, as being accessory to the act of the woman, which was not at that time felonious, did not by her death become liable to answer a charge of murder. He contended, as a matter of fact, that the prisoner did not cause the woman to take the drug, but that she was acting throughout of her own will, and that, so far from being influ enced or persuaded by the prisoner, was herself urging and i n fl uenc i ng hi m . His Lordship then told the jury that it was not suggested that the prisoner had any intention . to came the death of the decea se d wo man ; but if they were of opinion that he caused the drug .to he' be aa ministered v,ith a view to procure abortion, eild t woman died, then he was guilty of murder i n the eye of the law. Did he cause it to be taken ? 17 1 e mere act of procuring did not amount to causing her to take it ; there must be something more. It was one thing to procure it, and ano ther thing di rectly or indirectly to counsel and its , duce, an d by influence over her to cause it to be tak:ner, lr,• Nvas be not necessary that he should hand it to h. ing art and part in her act, he advised aid induced h e r to her to take it. If he advised and couns elled take it to get rid of the child , he cause d her to tak e it, and, if death resulted , wa s g uilt y of mu'rder" His lordship obsei'ved upon the disadvantage' at which the prisoner was placed when before t;4l° magistrate at the time when the de ceased made her deposition, the charge then being o f a less serious kind than now, and the prisoner unassisted by an adviser skilled in cross - examinatio n, and dealing, , too, with a witness who was, morally speaking, ell accomplice, suffering from poison , a nd .oppressedr no doubt, with a sense of heavy moral ,wd lega l guilt. However merciful he mig ht wish to be ' to the I deceased, he must, in justice t o t he prisoner, eel that her statements were inconsistent, and she L'a d ' though quite as guilty as the prisoner, if not more so, endeavoured to throw the burden of it upon hint: - His lordship commented in detail on the conflict of her statements, and censured the conduct of a police. man who had endeavoured, by questioning the ft pri.: boner, to obtain evidence against him. He le 1!, for the jury to say whether the prisoner proc ure . ct the drug and caused the deceased to take it, aodt not, to say whether the prisoner procured the pois. lll ' knowing the purpose for which she wanted it, which case he would be an accessory before the fact to the woman's administering the drug to her' self, which would be a misdemeanour at commo n law ; if so, he should direct them that, her death ensuing, she was felo-de-se, and the question of la° which he should reserve would lie whether, as accessory before the fact to a common law msof: meanour, which by the woman's own act ended 1 " felony, he did not become guilty of legal mur Bonet The jury found specially—first, that the pr did not procure and cause the deceased to take the drug ; and, secondly, that he was accessory before the fact to the common law misdemeanour. His Lordship said that he should reserve tie question whether the finding of the jury amount u t in accordance with his direction, to one of murder,. and respited the sentence, informing the prison ° that, so far as it lay with him to say so, he nee for, be under no apprehension that his life wou ld be O feited. NORTH WALES CIRCUIT.—WELsHroar March 11. The commission was opened on Monday, at Welsh; pool, by Mr. Justice Keating, and the court opene.u: for business on Tuesday morning at ten o ' cloc k There were only five prisoners for trial, includia one indictment for wilful murder. Ishmael Jones was charged with the wilful f lll der of his wife at Llanfair on the 30th December last; The principal evidence against him was furnisbeu: by himself, in consequence of communications b° had made to several persons, who, of course, fir, geared as evidence against him. It appea red tbs.* jealousy was the cause of the fatal act. The p ri g soner suspected that a neighbour named Evan Evticp 1 was on terms of too great intimacy with his Vilo and on the day in question he was in a field near the road which led from Evans's house to his ovilif where he saw him and his (Jones's) wife walking and talking together, and also overheard some CO versation about kisses, which was explained 1 1 Evans to have had reference to another man woman who were a little before them on the l°, l a e d According to the prisoner's own statement, he eel- e , to his wife over the hedge and told her to cot % home and get him some dinner. She then left EvlT it and went home, her husband following, She or a down the garden to get some potatoes f rom a J.,,,° or tump, and there the murderous act was 07; mitted. The husband had taken the spade fr ° eo her, and struck her several times, causing Or deep wounds in her skull, which the medical atter dant considered would produce almost instant dot The alleged intimacy was strongly denied by B" 13 ,:: A plea was attempted to be set up that the PI; soner had been in a desponding state of mind I°o some time, and was subject to delusions ; but t e medical attendant, in reply to the learne d j udg j stated that he had known him for a long time, tuld., had no reason to believe that there was any uneuu° ness of mind. putt spicuity, lordship summed up with great care an,-,i.,rt spicuity, and the jury, after an absence from C o of of three quarters of an hour, r eturned a verd iet, ,li wilful murder, accompanied ' by a recommen dativ to mercy. Sentence of death was passed upon him. COUN7BY , V- SHEFFIELD—MARCH 11. but At our market this morning there was less firmest,' ill wheat quotations were at the rates of last week.
