THE CIVIL WAR IN AMERICA. LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY. The Canadian mail steamer North American, Captain Burgess, which left Quebec on the 21st ult., arrived in the Mersey this afternoon. By this arrival we receive New York journals of the 19th, Portland ones of the 20th, and from Quebec of the 21st ult. The Philadelphia Ledger had published a bulletin that the Secretary of War has again called on the Governors of States to know how many men they can at once supply to reinforce the army. The cause of this is believed to be the reinforcetnent of Jackson in the Shenandoah Valley. The New York Herald professes to have been furnished by an intelligent Union refugee with im portant and interesting information of affairs in Richmond, from which place he made his escape a few days previously. He states that Since the appointment of General Lee as General lief, nearly the whole army has been concen trated near Richmond, even recalling some regi ments sent against General Burnside. The Con scripton Act is rigidly en forced, the conscripts being placed in the ranks of old regiments in the field. J e ff. Davis is hated by the army as a stubborn self willed tyrant, and Beauregard has lost prestige, though they still hold to the delusion of a rebel victory at Shiloh. Correspondents are excluded from all the camps, and the soldiers are not allowed to write to their friends. The Southern papers praise the exploits of the guerillas, especially the fact of their not taking any prisoners. If these guerillas capture any Northern troops they are led into the woods, a few shots are heard, and the state m ent made that the Yankees were parodied. There are from 400 to 500 persons in prison in Richmond charged with disloyalty to the South. The negroes are daily growing more open in in subordination, and the burning of the city is by some considered certain. While the rebels esti rnftto their army round Richmond at 180,003 men, it cannot amount to less than 150,000. This army, though largely made up of conscripts, is well disci plined and effective, and has unbounded confidence in Gen. Joseph Johnson. The rebel soldiers still believe that the tide will be turned against General MdClellan and then the war will be carried across the Potomac into Maryland and the North, The army of Johnson is constantly receiving reinforce ments, and he expects to hold our army in check until the impatience of England and France in re ference to Southern cotton and tobacco shall re sult in bringing these nations to the rescue. The rebels still cling to the delusion that their armies have only temporarily abandoned such places as New Orleans, Norfolk, Nashville, and Memphis. The rebel leaders are fully aware, however, that all their deceptions of military strategy will be ex posed with the loss of Richmond, and hence their desperate efforts and labours to hold it. They can not explain their retreat from a crushing defeat at Richmond to the satisfaction of their deluded fol- lowers. The Washington correspondent of the Philadel phia Enquirer notes the arrival of General Banks in that city, and denies the truth of the rumours that he is to be superseded. Some important changes are to be made in the army of the Shenan doah, but these will not affect General Banks. A Washington telegram of the 12th says :—lt is believed that a correspondence is now progressing relative to a general exchange of prisoners. Secre tary Stanton has returned. Late advices from AlTlellan's headquarters say : —Six boys were brought in yesterday by our ca va!ry, who state that the rebel pickets on our left wing had advanced, and they accidentally strayed over the line. They are believed to be spies, sleeping in swamps by day, and spying around our pickets at night. There is occasional skirmishing along our whole line, but a general engagement is not anticipated for several days. _ _ The weather is very hot, and the roads are now in pretty good condition. It is stated that Gen. Gustavus W. S. Smith was palsied and unfit for duty in the Confederate army. The Portland Argus calls loudly for reinforce ments for MiLliellan, and draws a discouraging ) picture of recent events in Virginia. It says :—We do not look through the eyes of a military man, but to such as ours there is something inexplicable about the command of General M'Dowell. Why a fresh army of 40,000 is surrounded on all sides by despe rate encounters of hostile forces and moves not, is the es ender of the country. For what purpose are they held back ? To defend Washington ? From whom ? They were unable to move so as to cut off Jackson. Where they are they seem to us to have elo tangible purpose whatever. It would seem now that the battle for the defence of Washington must be successfully fought at Richmond ; but it seems that the officials at Washington do not see it. A Washington despatch of the 19th says :—" Sur geon-General Hammond has within the past five days provided 15,000 beds for the sick and wounded in hospitals here and in Northern cities." The editorial correspondence of the New York Tinaes says that General M'Clellan has been labour ing under indisposition more or less severe for several days. He was much better, however, and was indefatigable in his attention to the details of official duty. A Fortress Moneoe despatch of the 20th says : There is nothing new to report. The weather is sultry awl unsettled. Skirmishing has been goin g on in front of the army. The rebels have assumed a more menacing attitude, and will probably try to bring on a general engagement in front of their works in order to draw our troops within range o f their batteries. Three deserters from the 4d Georgia Itegitneut who came in yester'iay reiterate the re port that the rebels aro becoming desperate, and greatly disheartened at their recent defeats. A correspondent of the New York limes, writing from Mechanicsville,Virginia, on the 16th, says : Unusual quiet has prevailed in this vicinity since yesterday morning. It is believed, from observa tions made from the balloon to-day, that the main body of the eneme, , have moved to some other point, and the impression prevails with many that Rich mend is being evacuated. The greater portion of the tents on the eminence opposite have disappeared, and no soldiers were visible this evening, except one companY of infantry marching to the left and a ee Oar line or p i ckets are within four few ple e ee - - e• m iles of Richmond, while th ose of the enemy are on the road a l ittae above, and withi n spea ki ng die- o f War bad receiv e d a despatch tance of them. The Secretary from General G. W. Morgan, dated camp near Cumberland Gap, June 18. It states that hi s army commenced to march at 1 o'clock that mornin g to attack the enemy at Cumberland Gap, but or, their arrival it was found that he had evacuated th at very important position, his rear guard, having left only about four hours before the arrival of the Fe- deral advance. 1 The act appears to be well established that yel low fever had not made its appearance in NOW Or leans at the la test advices, J une 10 . The deaths in the city during the first week in June were 122, not an unusual number. The American consul at Havannah having, how ever, informed General Butler that yellow fever had made its appearanc e among the shipping at that place, General Butler has established a regular and effective quarantine. 'Wm. B. Mumford, who had been convicted of tearing down the Union flag from the Mint at New Orleans, was executed on June 8. The effect of the execution was profound. A late Portland journal says— The press speak of the rapid growth of Union sentiment at New Orleans. We regret to say that our private advices from the most reliable sources do not warrant the correctness of what we sce iu print. It is to he hoped, however, that the prevail ing feeling on the part of the inhabitants that they are only a temporarily conquered people will give way to a better idea. The good conduct of our army and the re •epenite, Of trade will do the most to so desirable an end. On the 6th Ju ne, General Lovell sen t a lbg o f ust l truce to New Or leans, statin g that h e was • • tuoted by the President of the Confederate States 4o say that he had heard Mr. W. Van Bentheysen, citizen of New Orleans, had been arrested and was to be hanged for aiding the escape of a spy. If 1 this was so, the President of the Confederate States informe d Gen. Butler that he should inflict the same punishment of death upon a co ize,n of the United States in retaliation. In reply, Gen. Butler stated that t . e information received by Mr. Davis was incorrec", and Mr. Van Bentheysen was pursuing his ordinary avocations in New Orleans, having been released some time since on parole. Gen. Butler closed his note to Gen. Lovell with the following remarks To prevent the necessity of flags of truce con taining threats to me hereafter, allow me to add that in no degree will they change the course either of punishment or of justice which my judgment may determine. With respect to the attack on Charleston the Boston Traveller says :—We have received a pri vate note from our correspondent at Port Royal, in which he states that the effective Federal force en gaged in the attack upon Charleston does not ex ceed 5,000 or 6,000 men. Notwithstanding the large numbers opposed to them, cur troops have fought with great bravery, and in every engage ment have put to flight superior numbers. There is, however, a loud call upon the Government to send forward reinforcements,which are much needed to garrison Port Royal and other points. With the reinforcements which the enemy have undoubt edly been able to send to Charleston, we should consider Gen. Hunter's army in a very dangerous situation, were it not for his gunboats. These having entire command of the water passages around the islands, will doubtless be able to protect him until he has a sufficient army to attack the city. The reported surrender of Fort Morgan, near Baton Rouge, was premature. The power of de fence seems to have been greater than had been an ticipated. Both the gunboats and the flotilla had hard work, while a severe land engagement had been reported. A Memphis despatch of th e 17th says :—The shipments north ap to-day ha ve been—Cotton, 3,000 bales ; molasses, 5,000 barrels and 3,000 half barrels; sugar, 6,000 barrels. There was much coming in yesterday. Provost Marshal Gould administered the oath of allegiance yesterday to three hundred persons, in cluding 150 deserters from the rebel army, and five commissioned officers. .Beauregard's left wing extended to Hernando South. It is supposed the cotton burners are within six miles of Memphis. Last night there were reports of turbulence among the slaves in Crittenden and Mississippi counties, Arkansas. The Provost Marshal General of Missouri had issued an order instructing the Provost Marshal of St. Louis to cause all persons in the city suspected of disloyalty or sympathy with the rebels to take the oath of allegiance to the United States Govern ment; and that all persons known to be disloyal shall be required to give bonds for their observance of the oath. The Marshal also directs the arrest of all persons guilty of disloyal conduct, whether such consists of acts, or knowledge of the acts of others. Ex-Senator Pierre Soule and Sheriff Mazeran, of New Orleans, reached New York on the 19th, and were forthwith placed in Fort Lafayette as poli tical prisoners. A Washington telegram of the 19th says : The Post-office department has concluded an ar rangement with the Hamburg, Bremen, and Liver , pool line of transatlantic steamers, by which the fastest steamer of each of the three lines are ac cepted for the United States Mail service through out the year, thus securing a fast steamer for the conveyance of the mails on each of the United States sailing days, viz., on Saturdays from New York, and on Wednesdays from Southampton or Liverpool. English papers by the last steamer assert that the Circassian condemned for attempting to run the blockade could not have entered oar Southern ports on account of her great draft of water, but it is known by the Government that the Circassian was not only bound to Charleston, but the facts show she could easily have entered New Orleans, Mobile, - Pensacola, tia - vannah, Unarleston. or wkimington. The vessel and cargo are valued at about one million four hundred thousand dollars, after paying all the expenses of the prize court, which it is said, are extravagant; one half of the remainder goes to the Government, and the other moiety to the offi cers and crew of the vessel which seized the prize. Congress has inquired why the prize courts of Philadelphia and New York do not take any action towards condemning some of the rebel vessels which have been captured. The result of the in quiry may produce facts of a startling character. Three or four thousand seamen for the naval ser vice are immediately wanted. At present there are only 39 men available in all New England. The question is asked, where are all the New England fishermen ? In the House of Representatives on the 19th Mr. Arnold, of Illinois, from the committee, reported a bill establishing at Chicago a national foundry for the manufacture and repair of ordnance and muni tions of war, and appropriating 200,000 dols. for the purpose. Also for establishing naval depots and yards on Lakes Erie, Michigan, and Ontario— appropriating 250,000 dols. The bills were referred to the committee of the whole. A resolution was adopted in favour of the adjournment of Congress on the 30th June, provided the Senate concurred. The city of Philadelphia tendered, through one of its representatives, as a free gift:to the govern ment, the property known as League Island, for the purposes of a navy yard. The bill to free from servitude the slaves of cer tain " rebels" engaged in or abetting the rebellion was passed in the house by a vote of 82 against 54. The latest dates from Mexico, via Havannah, are to the 2d June. General Douai had left Vora Cruz with 800 men and a convoy of provisions for the French encampments. There was no news from the interior. IThe Canadian news is unimportant. The latest INew York telegrams to the evening of the 21st quote sterling exchange at 118 for bankers' and 117 for commercial bills; gold, 61 per cent. premium ; United States Sixes of 'Bl, 103.

A brave deed has just been done by a negro, one of that race that slaveholders tell us are not able to take care of themselves. Nine coloured men, comprising the pilot, engineers, and ""v of the rebel gunbcat Planter, took it under their exclusive control, passed the batteries and forts flag, lirl ran out Charleston harbour, hoisted the white thence to p out to the blockading squadron, and Broad River": Royal via St. Helena Sound and the flagship Wabash at ten o'clock in the eainchg eve n i ng , The guiding spirit was the pilot, Robert Small, who that harb our . H e en t e red upon his duties planned the expedition an d carried it out. Re is an intelligent n egro , b or n in Charleston , and employed for many years and onboard about t a s pilot in Plante r some six weeks as he says, adopted since, and, the idea of running the vessel to sea from a joke which one of hi s companions perpetrated. He immediately cautioned the crew against alluding to the matter in any N cy ay on board the boat, but a sked them, if they Wanted to take it up in sober earnestness, to meet at his house, where they would devise and determine upon a plan to place themselves under the protection o f the Stars and Stripes instead of the stars and bars. Various plans were proposed; but finally the whole arrangement of the escape was left to the discretion and sagacity of Robert, his companions promising to to obey him and be ready at a moment's n otice acco mpany him. For three days he kept the pro visions of his party secreted in the hold, awaiting an opportunity to slip airY• At length on Mon day evening, the white officers of the vessel went on shore to spend the night, intending to start on the following morning for Fort Ripley and to be absent from the city for some days. The THE SUN LONDON, 'THURSD %V EVENING JULY 3, 1862. families of the contrabands were notified and came stealthily on board. At about three o'clock the fires were lit under the boilers, and the vessel steamed quietly away, down the harbour. The tide was against her and Fort Sumter was not reached till broad daylight. However, the boat passed directly under its walls, giving the usual signal—two long pulls and jerk at the whistle cord—as she passed the sentinel. When out of the range of the rebel guns she steered for the Federal fleet. Small has been liberally rewarded by Congress, and has shown himself every inehaman. There has been an appropriation of 20,000 dols. as a reward to the plucky Africans who have distinguished themselves by this gallant service —5,000 dols. to be given to the pilot, and the remain der to be divided among his companions. The vessel H ill be of service to the Government. She is a high-pressure, side-wheel steamer,l4o feet in length, and about 55 feet beam, and draws about five feet of water. She was built in Charleston, was for merly used as a cotton boat, and is capable of carry ing about 1,400 bales. On the organisation of the Confederate navy she was transferred into a gun boat, and was the most valuable war vessel the Confederates had at Charleston. Her armament consisted of one 32-pound rifle gun forward, and a 24-round howitzer aft. Besides, she had on board when she came into the harbour one 7-inch rifled gun, one 8-inch columbiad, one B.inch howitzer, one long 32-pounder, and about 200 rounds of am munition, which had been consigned to Fort Ripley. —Correspondent to the (London) Freeman. IHE NAVY. Rear-Admiral Sydney C. Dacres, C. 8., late Capt. of the Fleet in the Mediterranean, and Admiral Collier, yesterday visited Woolwich Dockyard, and inspected the works in progress, and also various models of armour-plated ships, about to be brought forward for the consideration of the Admiralty. Mr Richard Thomas (1841), master of the flag ship Fisgard, at Woolwich, and Mr. J. APlntosh Hall (1845), in charge of the steam reserve at that station, were yesterday superseded on retiring pen sions. The two appointments have been amalga mated under the direction of Mr. W. S. Lake, mas ter, R.N. (1847), now attached to the Fisgard. The Rosario, 11, 150-horse power, Commander Graham, was inspected at the Little Nore, on Tues day afternoon, by Capt. Wise, Aide-de-Camp to the Queen, accompanied by Commander Martyn, and Mr. Randall, inspector of machinery afloat. After a minute inspection the ship was found to be in a very efficient state. The vessel proceeded yesterday to the coast of Scotland to take the place of the Icarus, 11, Commander N. Salmon, employed last summer in protecting the fisheries, but since despatched to the Mediterranean. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—Commander Francis A. Hume, to the Resistance ; Lieut. Henry E. Crozier, to the Colossus, for gunnery duties ; T. H. W. Beddoes, midshipman, to the Shannon; W. Redmond, assist.- surg_, confirmed in the Bacchante ; and C.

Four offi cers from each division have presented themselves at Woolwich for the purpose of passing a competi tive course of examination. The examination will occupy three days. After repeated postponements, and apparently unaccountable delays, the opening of the hand some building erected at Chatham for the pur poses of a soldiers' institute, or club-house, took place yesterday. A bandscme stuue facing, o-rcr the flight of steps leading into the entrance lobby, bears the following inscription :—" Soldiers' Insti tute, erected A.D. 1861, the 24th year of the reign of her most Gracious Majesty Queen Victoria, by public subscription and Government aid, under the auspices of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cam bridge, Commander-in-Chief, K.G., and the Right Hon. Sidney Lord Herbert, Secretary of State for War. This structure has been erected for the bene fit of the British soldier." A fall description of the building has already appeared in The Sun. Every soldier and non-commissioned officer may enjoy all the advantages of the institute, and may use the room from its opening in the morning until its close at night, for the nominal payment of ld. per week. At present there aro somewhere about 6,000 troops connected with the garrison, and of this number about one-fourth, or close upon 1,500, had put down their names as members of the institute before the doors were open yesterday—a fact which must have convinced the promoters of the undertaking of the great want of such an institution. In addition to the provisions within the building for the soldier arrangements have also been made for providing them with means for manly games, in a building to be specially devoted to that purpose. This has bsen effected by the erection of a separate building, a few steps from the institute, to be used as a bow ling-alley. There are also a racket and fives court, and a portion of ground has been set apart on which will be placed a skittle-alley, with a glazed roof. The expense of the building, including its iltnients, &c , has been between £5,000 and £6,000. It is to be rEgretted that the building committee are still hampered by the want of sufficient funds to clear off their liabilities, amounting to some where about £l,OOO. Of the entire sum £2,000, been b h iya s theH c o o n. nt c ri o b u u n te e d il b o y f Ithne,,,a the Government, remainder and b ie2i being 00 subscribed by private persons. It is hoped that the Lords of the Admiralty will be induced to make a liberal donation to the funds, the building being open to the Royal Marie es, of whom there are about 1,200 now at Chatheaa, or about one-fourth of the number of the whole garrison. Major-Gen. Eyre, in opening the institute, said that in the pre sent day there was no class is this country whose improvement, comfort, Elul general welfare were more cared for than soldiers and sailors. The object of that institute was to provide a respectable place of comfort, recreation, and every kind of harmless amusement for tte non-commissioned offi cers and men of the garrison, the more respectable of whom had long complained that at Chatham, more than at any other station, they found them selves absolutely lost if they left the barracks in search of any rational amusement. At the club now opened the soldier would be at home, free from restraint of any kind, except that which ail society in a civilised country was subject to. It had been decided that beer should not be supplied within the institution. Close at hand there was an excellent canteen, to which those who liked a glass of beer might adjourn to take it, after which they could return to the qu2let and com fort of the club. By permission of his :Royal High • ness the General Commanding-in-Chief, he had to declare the club open to the soldiers of the army who wished to enjoy the many advantages there offered them. The troops then gave three hearty cheers, after which the " National Anthem" was sung. A concert of vocal and instrumental music, by the bands of the Royal Engineers and Royal Artillery, followed. The rooms during the v% hole of the evening were crowded. The deaths of the following officers have been officially reported at the War Department since the Ist of June :—Gen. Sir T_ Willshire,G.C.B., colonel of the 51st King's Own Light Infantry; Lieut.-Gen. W. Sutherland,C.B., colonel of the 93d Sutherland shire Highlanders ; Major-Generals the Hon. R. Bruce and T. 0. Cater, Royal Artillery ; Cols. Sir G. H. Hewett and C. E. Fairclough, 3d Depot Bat talion ; Major J. M. Pennington, paymaster, 48th Regiment ; Copts. J. Chalioner, E. J. Clayfield, and E, J. Paterson, Royal Artillery ; Lients.ll. P. Cole, Royal Engineers; H. Fraser , 73d Regiment; E. Jeffreyson, 2d Royal Vet. Battalion ; H. Young, 6th Royal Vet. Battalion ; and W. Turnstull, 36th Regiment ; Ensign J. P. Clarke, 73d Regiment ; and J. Forbes, 107th Bengal Infantry ; Assist.- Surg. H. N. Holden, 21st Fusileers; Deputy-Pur veyor, T. E. Peirce. THE GRAND NATIONAL RIFLE CONTEST. The volunteers who had spent the night in camp found day dawning yesterday, as on Tuesday, with a dull and lowering aspect—a somewhat rough and windy night having caused a constant flapping of canvas over their heads, and a rude and blustering assault upon their ears, altogether unlike the expe rience of feather-beds at home, safe from the dis turbing influence of wind and weather. Neverthe less, they were awake with the lark ; and when the reveille was sounded at half-past 6, every man was speedily up and doing in conformity with regula tions established for the purpose of giving to this holiday demonstration as much as possible of the aspect of actual military life. Thus at 10 p.m. tattoo is sounded; and thereupon the captain and subal terns on duty mount guard, with an in-lying picket of 20 men, who are expected to hold themselves in readiness for any alarm—whether of fire or invasion —that may arise during the night; while at 11 o'clock the same officers make the round of the camp to see that all is quiet, and prevent any who might be so inclined from disturbing the rest of others by unseasonable and unsoldierlike festive celebrations. A 6 a.m. comes the reveille ; at 7.15 parade without arms ; after that breakfast. At half-past 9 yesterday the signal gun was fired, and the great race of competition for prizes was I fairly opened; and Capt. St. John Mildmay, Capt. Page, Col. Bew es, and the other officials, were at once on the alert, and were kept so by the exacting circumstances surrounding them throughout the day. The attendance of volunteers was naturally rather more numerous than on Tuesday, but the number of uninterested, or rather unprofessional, spectators, was exceedingly limited. The firing of the signal gun was followed by an immediate commencement or the competition fur some of the principal prizes of the meeting, different butts being appointed, not only to particular con tests, but also to - various parties engaged in the same contests—long range and short range matches pro ceeding simultaneously, so as to effect that economy of time which the multitude of competitors—in the case of the Queen's Prize exceeding 1,100 —makes an absolute necessity. With regard to the targets themselves it is a well to add a few words by way of explanation. Those at 200 yards range are 6ft. by 4ft., with an 8-inch square bull's-eye, and a 2ft; square centre ; those at 500 and 600 yards are Bft. by 6ft., with a 2ft. square bull's-eye, and a 4ft. square centre ; while those at 800, 900, and 1,000 yards are 12ft. by 61t., with a 3ft. square bull's-eye, and a 6ft. square centre. "When a bull's-eye is hit a red and white flag shows that three points are scored ; when a centre is hit a blue flag gives two points to the marksman ; and when an " outer," or outside centre is made, a white flag is displayed, and one point is added to the score. It will be ob served that the size of the target, bull's eye, and centres increases proportionately with the length of range, from 200 yards to 1,000 yards, the number of points scored for each corresponding hit being the same at all ranges. The respective competitions entered upon at the commencement of proceedings yesterday were—The Queen's Prize, first stage ; the All Comers ; the Association Cup ; and some Extra Prizes. The first series of these are open to any rifle under 10ibs., with a Swiss target, at 800 yards, the prizes con sisting of a gold watch, given by Mr. Bennett, value £4O; a Kerr rifle, given by the London Armoury Co., value 15 guineas ; a field glass, given by Messrs. Burrow, value £7 ; do., by Messrs. Keyzor and Bendon, value £5 ss. ; a telescope, with stand, given by Mr. Steward, £5 ss. ; engraving, by Mr. Garle Brown, £lO 10s. ; do., by do., £lO 10s. Another first series of prizes was restricted to rifles '577 bore, carrying Government ammunition, as follows : Rifle, given by Mr. Smith, Davis-st., £4O; Army and Navy Gazette prize, £2O; rifle, given by Messrs. Calisher and Terry, £l5; field glass, given byMessrs. Burrow, of Great Malvern, £775.; and 2 engravings, given by Mr. Garle Brown, £lO 10s. each. In ad dition to this prize competition, which was carried vn thiougnout LIIC tiny, tlieLc usual run of pool shooting ; but the " deer target" was not permitted to run, in consequence of Tuesday's acci dents. It will, however, probably resume its career to-day, proper precautions having meanwhile been taken to place the men in charge out of harm's way from the glancing bullets. The firing to-day will be merely a continuation of the comnetition commenced yesterday for the Queen's and other prizes, with the exception that the" All Comers" will be limited to the interval between 9 30 a.m. and 1 30 p.m. ; the competition after three o'clock (when the time al lowed for luncheon terminates) being reserved for members of the association only. As to the first stage of her Majesty's prize, on which the firing will probably extend over to-morrow, it is as well to explain that each competitor is entitled to five shots at the 200, 500, and 600-yards ranges respec tively; but if he fails to make nine shots (out of 18 possible points and hits included) at the 200 and 500-yards ranges, he will be excluded from compe tition at the 600-yards range, and of course from the long range, or second snd final stage for this the great prize of the contest for the present year. It should also be stated that the 20 leading shots at these ranges will be entitled to receive Enfield rifles, each valued at £25, and the 20 . next best will be entitled to join in the second stage of competition for the Queen's Prize, e.nd to these 40 that compe tition will be restricted. g ave the names of The result of the competition for the Q ueen's Prize, so far as it progressed yesterday, Hays, 37th Middlesex, as having made 18 points, a nd the following as having made 16 p oints at 200 viz., Dun yards, out of 20 points possible, ca lf ( ', Ist Cheshire; Hodgkinsos, 15th do.; Fitzpatrick, 4th Devon Artillery; Scott, 7th Edinburg h ; Murdock, 13th de. ; Ferguson, Ist Inverness ; S pr ott, 2d L a ncashire ; 11lillican, 4th Leicester ; Sey mour, Ist Queen's, Westminster; Morrison , sth Renfrew ; Phillips, Ist Shropshire, and Carpmael, 4th Surrey.

THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION. Yesterday being the last day of the cattle show the counter attraction interfered a good deal with the attendance at the Exhibition. It was still, however, very considerable, and would have been considered monstrous anywhere hut at South Ken sington. The golden obelisk had numerous ad mirere, and the Japan case was surrounded by a crowd who seemed to be quite delighted with the droll little carvings with which it is profusely fur nished. There is no doubt but that these are capital in their way; every one embodies a joke, and a joke, when it is good, speaks en universal language. No one who had observed our serious looking friends from Nyphon promenading the Exhibition a few days since could have imagined that there was so much fun in their distant land; but we suppose that there, as in other countries, the wit and humour are monopolised by the lower classes of society. But the great attractions are the jewel cases, and they are more closely beleaguered every day. Yesterday it required the united strength of four policemen to keep order amongst the ladies, who impatiently waited for the turn to have a close look at the Koh-i-noor. The voice of expostulation could be heard above the crowd, and glimpses of shiny bats were now and then caught moving about in a state of great agitation. At Mr. Hancock's case, the excitement was aggravated by a visit from the Crown Prince of Prussia. Whilst his Royal Highness was being shown the various precious contents of the case, the crowd closed in, and so anxious was one old lady to see both the Prince and the diamonds, that in push ing forward she slipped and went down, suffer ing a rather considerable abrasion of the nose as the penalty of her curiosity: Mr. Emanuel's case being in the centre of the nave is still more ex posed, and is the more attractive in consequence of having some new article exhibited every day. Yesterday the novelty was a beautiful table foun tain in oxydised silver and lapis lazuli, and which, by means of internal machinery, can be made to play perfumed waters for four hours without ceasing. The contrivance by which this result is obtained is as simple as it is ingenious, and would make the fountain well worthy of inspection, even if it was not itself a masterpiece of renaissance art. Gourmets who like their wine cool in hot weather will also do well to cast a glance at the new cooler which Mr. Emanuel has just registered. Like most good things, the idea of it is very simple, being merely the use of the well-known Spanish clay of which the muleteers make their water bottles, to the purposes of the table. In this new cooler the wine can be sufficiently chilled without ice, merely through the skilful use of the porous property in the clay. Amongst the visitors yesterday were the whole of the operatives from Mr. Forster's (M.P.) factory at Greehholme, in Yorkshire. This most respect able body of working men were brought to the Exhibition by the honourable member himself, and, in addition to being taken round the sights, were also provided at his expense with refreshments. Another large detachment were the pupils of Queen Elizabeth's School, in the Borough, who came accompanied by their band, and made their " exits and their entrances" to appropriate and exceedingly well played music. We also observed a large body of volunteers, which we were informed were the 29th York (North Riding), who having inspected the Exhibition, formed in military order outside, and marched off amid the cheers of the people, who now regularly assemble each evening inExhibition-road in crowds to watch the company going away and struggling for cab and omnibus accommodation. An addition was made in the course of the day to the Exhibition library in the shape of ten copies of the Royal Blue Book, presented by Messrs. Gardiner and Son, and one of which was specially intended for the use of the press. The only other literary event was the promulgation of the International Directory, from which the public will be glad to learn that two such efficient and experienced men as Mr. R. A. Thompson and Mr. P. C. Owen are now regularly installed as assistant managers. Besides the Crown Prince of Prussia, the list of distinguished visitors included Prince Napoleon and the Grand Ducal Family of Hesse, the latter being conducted round the foreign department by Mr. Owen. The following is the official return of the number of visitors yesterday :—By season tickets, 7,369; by payment, 47,127 ; total, 54,426. COLLISION AND LOSS OF LIFE ON THE RIVER. Yesterday an inquiry was held at the Green Man Tavern, High-street, Poplar, by Mr. H. Raffles Walthesv, the deputy coroner for East Middlesex, into the circumstances of a collision on the Thames last Sunday afternoon, by which Agnes Shand, aged 21, lost her life, and some others received various injuries. P. England, who was unable to stand from inju ries received on the occasion, said that on the after noon in question deceased and some other friends and himself took a large strong row boat at Cherry garden Pier, Bermondsey. Witness and a young man named Chapel rowed down the river. The tide was running up, and when they got near the Dreadnought there was a steam-tug towing a fishing smack up the river, to avoid which they tried to cross over to the Poplar side of the water. They had just escaped two passenger steamers and a sailing vessel at the same spot, and in two strokes they would have been clear also of the tug, but the latter would not stop, but came right into them amidships. The shock cut the boat in halves, and threw all in it into the water. Witness lifted up his hand to signal the tug to stop before the col lision, but he could see zio one on board. When in the water he got under the paddle-wheel, where he found a rope, which ho laid hold of, and was under the water. He wa s pi c k e d dragged along up by a small boat, and was taken to the Dread nought hospital ship. The deceased had laid hold of him as she fell in the water, and he held her until he found himself under the wheel, when her mantle gave way, and he saw her no more. The others laid hold of the guard-chains, and were taken off by boats. Halliwell was injured in the arm. They had been all perfectly sober, and witness and Halliwell were accustomed to rowing. The tug could have stopped before the collision. Several persons saw the captain of the tug run up on deck with only his trousers on after the accident. The tug was 100 yards off when witness first hailed it. The steamer coming down the river would have run into them if they had s t o pped short to allow the tug to pass clear. perfectly cool an d By the Jury—They w ere all collected. They had during the day only ginger beer to d r i n k . The tug ,as named the R anger. Wm. Chapel said That at the time the accident happened the tide had just begun to run down the river. The tug was hailed by the boat, and als& by a sailing ves se l w hich was near, but w it ness saw no one on b oar d the tug- The wheels of the latter did not stop until witness and his companions were all under water. Mr. Mills, the coroner's officer, stated that the captain of the Ranger was not then present, and the court was adjourned to give him an opportunity of giving any explanatory statement which he might have to offer. The proceedings excited great interest among the nautical community, and the room was crowded. LAW INTELLIGENCE.-July 2. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. Sittings at Nisi Prius, at Guildhall, before Mr. Baron Martin and a Special Jury.) HAYMSN V. SMURTUWAITE AND OTHERS. The plaintiff brought this action to recover the value of a barge which he alleged had been lost through the negligence of the defendants' servants. Mr. M. Chambers, Mr. Brett, and Mr. Wathin Williams were for the plaintiff; and Mr. Temple and Mr. Lushington conducted the defence. The plaintiff was the owner of a barge called the Waterwitcl), and the defendants were the proprie tors of a steam vessel, the Thames, which traded between Newcastle and the port of London. On the Ist November, 1860, between six and seven in the evening, the Waterwitch was near Chapman's , Light, at Sea Reach, in the Thames, on her way to ' Harwich, with a cargo of m anure, when she was run into by the defendants' vesseJ, which was com ing up the river, and sunk. The master of the barge was saved, but a boy on board of it was drowned, and some time elapsed before his body could be recovered. The plaintiff endeavoured afterwards to raise the barge, but failed, and it be came a complete wreck. He now sought to recover its value, which he estimated at £650. The defence was that the accident arose entirely from the negligence of the men who had the charge of the barge. A considerable amount of evidence was adauced on both sides, and, as is usual in these cases, was very conflicting. The jury ultimately found a verdict for the pl ain tiff—Damages, £5OO. JEFFERY - V. MANTON-BUTCHERS AND THEIR CHARGES. This was an action to recover £521 155., the amount of a butcher's bill. Mr. Hawkins and Mr. J. Jones were counsel for he plaintiff; and Mr. Sergeant Ballantine and Mr. H. fames appeared for the defendant. Mr. T. Jones, in opening the case, in the absence of Mr. Hawkins, said the plaintiff was a but cher carrying on business in the neighbourhood of Re gent-street, and the defendant an eating-h ouse keeper in the same locality. Defendant had dealt with plaintiff for 10 or 11 rears, and his bill for meat amounted to about £3O a week. The nresent claim was for meat supplied between July 18, and November, 1860, and the defendant refused to pay it, on the ground of fraud by the plaintiff. Unfortunately the plaintiff was suffering from dis ease of the heart and could not be called, but he had been examined before the master; and the two young ladies who had acted as cashiers in the plain tiff's shop at the time the goods were supplied were now in Australia. Mr. Baron Martin said it appeared that there was a set-off, on the part of the defendant, to the amount of between £5,000 and £6,000. Mr. Jones said that the dispute evidently arose from what was called "trimming" the meat--a cus tom which he was ready to admit was a bad one. Mr. Richard Fenham, who had been for many years in the plaintiff's employ, proved the delivery of the meat and the practice with regard to weigh ing and entering it in the day-book Cross•examined—Trimmings were pieces of bone cut from legs and shoulders of mutton, and parts which were fly-blown or stale. They were some times put into the scale, and weighed with the joint, but not always sent to the customer. He recollected, in October last, the defendant coming to the shop and having his meat weighed. It had been entered as weighing 100lb. ' but it turned out to be 10Ib. short of that. Could not say how the mistake oc curred, as the meat was weighed, not by him, but by Hathaway, the foreman. The defendant com plained of the overcharge, but did not cease to be a customer until six weeks afterwards. _ _ John Hathaway, the foreman, said he had been ten years in the plaintiff's service. Trimmings were portions of the bone or anything stale or unsightly, and were of no use to anyone. When he cut them off he guessed their weight, and accounted for them, but not always. They ought to go to the customer. Cross-examined—The mistake of the 101 b. arose from the trimmings. Never heard the detendant say "What a fool Charlie was to give Mr. Manton the ticket of the weight of the meat," or anything to that effect. He merely said that he (witness) should be mere careful in weighing the meat in future. The mistake was not made intentionally. Did not know that the defendant was complained of for sending short weight to the Windham Club and Howell and James's. Some meat was trimmed and some was not, and he made an allowance for the trimmings, which he guessed at. Mr. Baron Martin expressed a doubt whether in the present action the set-off could be gone into ; but he would take the defendant's evidence, and if necessary, reserve the point. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine then addressed the jury on the part of the defence. H e sa id that to the plaintiff, who was one of the largest butchers at the West-end, the case was one of a very serious nature, as he was instructed by the defendant to say that for four or five years he had practised upon him a regular system of fraud, and that upon almost every occasion the weight was lighter than the weight represented on the ticket by which it was accom panied. The defendant kept an eating-house for the humbler description of persons, and his agreement with the plaintiff was that he should receive every kind of meat which was not absolutely tainted, nothing whatever being said about the trimmings being kept by the plaintiff. Unfortunately the defendant relied on the plaintiff's honesty, and never weighed the meat; but after a time he found that, although his business was large and increas ing, and managed with every economy, his pecu niary position was not improved, and he supposed there must be something wrong in some quarter. In October last a man in the employ of the plaintiff informed him of matters which ex cited his suspicion, and he went unexpectedly to the plaintiff's shop and had some meat weighed which was about to be sent to him. A ticket had been placed upon it stating that it weighed 100Ibs., but he discovered that the real weight was only 901 b., or 10 per cent. less. That induced him to make further inquiries, and he found that this practice of misrepresenting the weight had been going on for some years. The defendant was then called and examined, in corroboration of the above statement. He said he had dealt with the plaintiff for 13 years, but had seldom received a ticket with the meat. He never weighed the meat as he ought to have done, but took the weight as it was represented by the plain tiff's servants. The discovery of the deficiency of 101 b. in 1001 b. of meat took place on the morning of the 22d of October. Ee saw the meat in the scales, and he had it weighed over again. He asked Hathaway why it was ticketed 1001 b. when the real weight was only 901 b., and he said he did not know, but he supposed it was a mistake. Two or three days afterwards he saw the plaintiff, who made several excuses for the error. Witness said 1 unless the plaintiff clearly showed him that the weight of the meat was entered higher than it really was without his knowledge he could not be lieve him, but he made no reply. He made some further inquiries of the plaintiff's men who brought the meat, and in consequence of what he heard he refused to pay the plaintiff's bill. Some other evidence having been heard for the defence, The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff for £469, deducting 10 per cent. on a portion of the amount claimed, and adding their opinion that the plaintiff's mode of conducting his business was most unsatisfactory and loose, and that the defen dant should have discovered the errors sooner. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. (Befoul Sir C. Cresswell and a Special Jury.) POWELL V. POWELL AND INGLEDEW. This was a petition for dissolution b roug ht by the husband, on the ground of his wife's adultery with the co-respondent. The petition alleged seve ral acts of adultery with divers other persons be tween April 26 and Dec. 22, 1860. The co-respon dent is since deceased.

The co-respondent frequently visited the house and remained several h ou rs. She onco accompanied he.r mistress to the Opera, where they met a gentleman, and an assignation was made, in the Regent's Park.
