THE CIVIL WAR IN AMERICA. LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY. The Royal Mail screw steamer Australasian, Capt. Anderson, which sailed from New York on the 21st inst., via Queenstown, arrived here at an early hour this morning. Tho New York Times of the 21st gives the fol lowing as the "situation of affairs" at that date : "Au arrival at Fortress Monroe from the Gulf, bring advices from New Orleans to the Bth inst., and from Pensacola to the 11th. The news from New Orleans corroborates to a certain extent, what has reached us through rebel channels. Gen. Butler landed on the Ist inst., and at first occupied the Custom-house as his headquarters, but subsequently removed to St. Charles Hotel. Affairs were begin ning to assume a more satisfactory appearance in the city. The Opelousas and Jackson Railroad had been taken possession of, and all the approaches to the city had been cut off. Gen. Phelps had occupied Carrolton five miles . np the river. Porter's mortar fleet had reconnoitred the approaches to the harbour of Mobile, and had taken soundings preparatory to an attack. Pensacola was evacuated on the night of the 9th inst., as before stated. General Arnold, in command at Fort Pickens, had succeeded in saving a portion of the public property. The city and forts had been occupied by our forces, and Gen. Arnold was expected to establish his headquarters on shore. The steamer Rhode Island, which brings this intel ligenee to Fortress Monroe has on board a number of prisoners taken in the naval battle below New Orleans. " On Monday General M'Clellan's army again commenced a forward movement in the direction of the rebel capital. The advance, under Gen. Stone man, reached the railroad bridge across the Chicka hominy on Sunday, 'and found that structure very little damaged —only two spans of it having been bnrned, which could be replaced with very little difficulty. The pickets of the enemy were found to be guarding the whole line of the river in front of Richmond. " A despatch from the army yesterday, dated at Tunstal's station, on the railroad between West Point and Richmond, announces that the advance under General Stoneman, after securing the bridge over the Chickahominy, had pushed on to Cold Harbour, on the road running to Richmond, by way of New Bridge, where he found the enemy in force. He drove in their pickets to within two miles of the main body, and encamped. This was on Monday night. The indications now are that the rebels intend to make a desperate fight for the possession of Rich mond, unless our gunboats should succeed in passing the obstructions in the James River, in Which case there will probably be a stampede. " The Washington Intelligencer of Monday even ing makes the unofficial statement that the Galena and Monitor returned to City Point after their re pulse at Fort Darling on Thursday, and that the Aroostook, Port Royal, and Nangatuck, continued their trip down to Jamestown Island. The Wash ington Star states the damage to the Nangatuck has been repaired, another 100-pounder having been mounted upon her. The transport Baltimore, which took:Secretaries Seward and Welles up James River, on her return on Sunday morning met six gun boats going towards Richmond. This is in accordance with the reports already published by us, that effective measures were being taken for the reduction of the rebel batteries at Fort Darling. From the accounts given this morning it will be seen that the repulse' of our gun boats from these batteries was just no repulse at all, but that they were simply forced to withdraw temporarily from lack of amunition. The rebels having deserted the banks of the river below, the way is clear for our supply vessels to go up. " The Washington Star of Monday evening says : We have direct news from General M'Clellan's head-quarters up to a very late period, when he had moved them to Baltimore Cross Roads, a point on the Pamunkey River, near where the Richmond and York River Railroad crosses it, and within four miles of Bottom's Bridge, behind the ruins of which the rebels boasted they were to have made their grand stand for the defence of Richmond. Re had reconnoitred in person quite up to the bridge, and had found that there were no rebels in arms on this side of it. The impression prevails in his camps that the river's (Pamunkey) immediate south bank had also been abandoned for a line of defence some miles nearer Richmond. If that proves true, it strikes us that it will be most advantageous for us, as being likely to give us, shortly, direct and unin terrupted communication between the bulk of our army there and the fleet operating before Fort Darling. Our whole army are as confident as ever of the ultimate success of the campaign, which is being worked out day by day and step by step; each succeeding hour seeing some advantage gained that brings them securely nearer to Richmond.' C' A letter from our gun-boat flotilla above Memphis says :- 6 By the arrival of deserters from below, we learn that Commodore Farragut's gun boats are still ascending the river, spreading con sternation among the inhabitants wherever they appear. Vicksburg and Natchez—the Sodom and Gomorrah of the South—ar© both believed to be in our possession, and several gun boats are re ported to be advancing upon Memphis, from below. In the latter city a vast amount of cotton, auger, and molasses has been burned and rolled into the river, and destruction is still going on.' Another lit ter from the flotilla has this statement :—` You will perceive, by perusing the Memphis papers enclosed, that Curtis is in possession of Little Rock, and is now descending the Arkansas River, and will make a junction with our forces at Memphis.' " Another band of guerillas has been destroyed in "Western Virginia, and their leader killed." Richmond papers of the 16th have been received at General M'Clellan's head-quarters. They con tain a correspondence between the Virginia legis lature and Jeff Davis in regard to the recent move ments of the rebel army. He stated that he had . never intended t o withdraw the army from V i rg inia and abandon the state; that if, in the coarse of events, Richmond should fall, the necessity of which he did not see or anticipate, that would be no reason for withdrawing the army from Virginia. In his opinion the war could be successfully carried on and maintained on Virginian soil for 20 years. The /limp his App ea l o f the 15th contains the following despatch addressed to the rebel Secretary of State, dated Camp Moore, 11th : " Gen. Butler yesterday took forcible possession of the office of the consul of the Netherlands, searched the person of the consul, and took from him the key of a bank vault, in which were 800,000 dols., transferred by the Citizens' bank to Hop e ' s bank, of Amsterdam, intended for the payment of the interest on the Confederate bonds. Gen. Butler also took possession of the offices of the French and Spanish consulates, in the old Canal bank, and placed a squad there, lie also seized the Canal bank and Smith bank, and has issued an inflamma tory proclamation to incite the poor against the rich, promising to distribute to the poor 100 barrels of beef and sug ar captured in New Orleans. He is recruiting in New Orleans. The poor will soon be starved. The enemy have sent a force up to Bonne Carre, which marched throu gh gh the swamps and de stroyed the railroad bridge. ' The despatch is not signed. The Vicksburg Citizen of the 12th, says that the latest we can learn of the gunboats below is that they are between Forts Adams and Bayou Tunica, supposed to be in or about the Rod River, cut off. The New Fork nipping List says:— " Nothing of especial interest has transpired in regard to war movements since our last, except the repulse o f the expedition of iron-clad vessels of war up the James River. This temporary reverse may be accounted for by the fact that the guns of the boats lould not he brought to bear on the fortifications k nown as Fort Darling , which is situated on a bluff 1 50 to 200 f eet high, about seven miles below Richmond; After four hours' action, finding all efforts ufseless in that position of affairs , an d the 100 pounder gun of the Naugatuck having ' exploded at the first fire , with loss of - life to some of the crew, a portion of the bo a t s came down the river as far as Jamestown Island, Which lies off Williamsburg, and is about the' Mlle disttenee from Richmond. The river is clear to a point within "THE SUN, ',LONDON, MONDAY, EV:BA-IM-, eight miles of Richmond. Among the obstructions in the river are said to be the steamers Yorktown and Jamestown. A Richmond paper rc ports a panic in that city on the news of the approach of our gunboats. " Intelligence from General M'Clella states that his army had reached Bottom's Bridge, 15 miles from Richmond, driving the enemy across the Chickahominy, the latter destroying the bridge as usual. The obstructions now placed in his way, the lack of further water communication for the sup plies of the army, and the swampy nature of the country, it is thought will prevent other than a slow and laborious process. A gunboat expedition 25 miles up the Pamunkey River resulted in the destruction of two steamers and 20 schooners, mostly laden with corn. "From the Gulf fleets nothing further has trans pired. When last heard from, Commodore Porter was off Fort Morgan, which commands the entrance to Mobile, with several gunboats and mortar boats, and operations for the reduction of that stronghold were expected to be commenced forthwith. " Recent advices state that a portion of the fleet lately at New Orleans has passed on up the Missis sippi River, and may be expected as far up as Memphis before many days. The siege of Fort Wright promises to be as protracted as that of Island No. 10. It is stated that the Confederates have added another powerful ram to their fleet, and that they are confident of being able to annihilate the Union fleet at the next onset. On the other hand the Federals are confident of completing the work of destruction to the fleet of the enemy which they began when they were previously attacked. The contest will, in all probability, be severe, what ever way it may result." The following official reports of the engagement at Fort Darling have been received at the Navy Department by Commodore Goldsborough : "umroitT OF COM, RODGERS Or TIM CI.A.I.IIITA. " United States Steamer Galena, off City Point, James River, May 16, 1862. " Sir,—l have the honour to report that this ves sel,jhe Aroostook, the Monitor, and Port Royal, with the Nangatuck, moved up the river, getting aground several times, but meeting no artificial impediments until we arrived at Ward's Bluff, about eight miles from Richmond, where we encountered a heavy battery, and two separate barriers formed of spiles, and steamboats, and sail vessels. The pilots both say that they saw Yorktown and James town among the number. The banks of the river we found lined with rifle /Vs, from which sharpshooters annoyed the men at guns. These would hinder the removal of obstruc tions, unless driven away by a land force. " The Galena ran within about 600 yards of the battery, as near the spiles as it was deemed proper to go, let go her anchor, and with a spring sprung across the stream, not more than twice as wide as the ship is long, and then at 45 minutes past seven o'clock a.m. opened fire upon the battery. The wooden vessels, as directed, anchored about 1,300 yards below. The Monitor anchored near, and at nine o'clock she passed just above the Galena, but found her guns could not be elevated enough to reach the battery. She then dropped a little be low us, and made her shots effective. " At five minutes after 11 o'clock, the Galena had expended nearly all her ammunition, and I made signal to discontinue the action, We had but six Parrott charges, and not a single filled 9-inch shell. We had 13 killed, and 11 wounded. " The riled 100-pounder of the Nangatuck burst ; half the part abaft the trunnions going overboard. She is, therefore, disabled. Lieut. Newman, the executive officer, was conspicuous for his gallant and effective services. Mr. Washburne, acting master, behaved admirably. These are selected from among the number. " The Aroostook, Nangatuck, and Port Royal took the stations previously assigned them, and did everything that was possible. " The Monitor could not have done better. "The barrier is such that the vessels of the enemy even, if they have any, cannot possibly pass out, and ours cannot pass in. " I have the honour to be your obedient servant, " JOHN RODGERS, Commander, United States Navy." REPORT OF LIEUT. JEFFERS, OF THE MONITOR. The following is the report of Lieut. William N. Jeffers, commanding the Monitor in the late en• gagement near Richmond. It is addressed to Com. mander Rodgers : " United States Iron-clad Steamer Monitor, James River, Va., May 16, 1862, " Sir,--I submit the following report of the movements of this vessel during the action of yes- :erday : " Shortly after weighing anchor from our posi• ion near Kingsland Creek a sharp fire of musketry was commenced from both banks on all the ships. At half-past seven I discovered an extensive forti fication on an elevation of about 200 feet, with several smaller batteries, all apparently mounting guns of the heaviest calibre. At the foot of the bluff, in the river, there is an obstruction formed of sunken vessels and steamers secured with chains, and the shallow water piled across the river. The Galena, having anchored at about 1,000 yards distant from the fort, and being warmly engaged, I endeavoured to pass ahead of her and take off some of the fire; but I found that my guns could not be elevated suffi ciently to point at the fort. I then took a position on the line with the Galena, and maintained a deliberate fire until the close of the action, when, in company with the other vessels, I dropped down to the anchorage. "The fire of the enemy was remarkably well I directed, bat v a i n ly, t owar d s t hi s vesse l . S he was struck three times—one solid eight-inch shot square on the turret, and two solid shot on the side armour forward of the pilot-house. „,Neither caused any damage beyond bending the plates. I am happy to report no casualties. " In conclusion, permit me to say the action was most gallantly fought against great odds, and with the usual effect against earthworks. So long as bur vessels kept up a rapid fire they rarely returned our fire, but the moment our fire slackened they re manned their guns. It was impossible to reduce such works except with the aid of a land force." The proclamation of the President relative to the military order of General Hunter declaring the slaves in Georgia, South Carolina, and Florida free, is positive in its abrogation of the order : " BY THE PRESIDENT. A Proclamation. " Whereas there appears in the public prints what purports to be a proclamation of Major- General Hunter. "And whereas the same is producing some ex citement and misunderstanding. "Therefore, I, Abraham Lincoln, President of the United. States, proclaim and declare that the Gover nment of the United States had no knowledge or beli e f of an intention on the part of General Hunter to issue s uc h B n n t e s . uch a proclamation, nor has it yet any genuine, and further, that the document is ,that neither General Hunter, nor any other c ommander,or person, has been au thorised by the Government of the United States to m ake proclamation declaring the slaves of any State free, and the supposed question, whether ge nu i ne or false, proclamation now in c a iti is altogether void, so far as respects such a declaration. "I I further make known, th at 4rearnc"• com petent for me as commander i n chief of t th it be and navy to declare the slav es of any se te army States, free, and whether at any time, orta in any or case, it shall have become a necessity indispensabl e to the maintenance of the Government to exercise such supposed power, are questions which. under my responsibility, I reserve to myself, and which I cannot feel justified in leaving to the decision of commanders in the field. These are totally diffe rent questions from those of OIiCC: regulations in armies and camps. On the 6th day of March last, by a special message, I recommended to Congress the adoption of a resolution to be substantially as follows : "Resolved, ---That the United States ought to co operate with any State which may adopt a gradual abolishment of slavery, giving to such State in its discretion to compensate for the inconveniences, public and private, produced by such change of system. " The resolution in tho language above quoted, was adopted by large majorities in both branches of Congress, and now stands in authentic, definite, and solemn proposal of the nation to the states and people most immediately interested in the subject matter. To the people of these states I now ear nestly appeal. Ido not argue. I beseech you to make the arguments for yourselves. You cannot, f you would, be Wind to the signs of the times. I 'beg of you a calm and 'enlarged consideration of if it may be, far above personal and partisan an rangingpolitics. This proposal m a k es commo n them, a cause for a common object, casting no reproaches upon any. It acts not the Pharisee. The change it contemplates would come gently as the dews of Heaven, not rending or wrecking anything. Will you not embrace it ? So much good has not been done by one effort in all past time, as in the Provi dence of God it is Now your high privilege to do. May the vast future not have to lament that you have neglected it. "In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand, and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. "Done at the City of Washington this 19th day of May, 1862. " ABRAHAM LINCOLN, " WM. H. SEWARD, Secretary of State." The following is a summary of the proceedings of Congress : "In the United States Senate on the 19th, Mr. Wilson, of Massachusetts, offered a resolution asking the Secretary of the Interior for information relative to New York vessels engaged in the slave trade. A bill was introduced for the re lief of Robert Small others (coloured men) who recently delivered the Confederate vessel Planter to Commodore Dupont's squadron. The bill provides that the steam-ship Planter, with all the cargo and appurtenances, shall be appraised by a competent board of officers, and that one-half the value thereof shall go to Robert S In all and hia chomoviviacc, TLV inu tam rlau ter out of Charleston harbour, with the provision that the Secretary of the Navy may invest the same in the United States stocks, the interest to be paid to Small and his associates or heirs, The bill was passed. A resolution providing for the presenta• tion of medals of honour to soldiers who distinguish themselves in battle was adopted. " The debate on the Confiscation Bill was then resumed. Mr. Sumner made a speech in support of it. Mr. Powell, of Kentucky, moved to strike out the 11th section of the bill, which authorises the President to arm negroes if necessary to suppress the rebellion. This was rejected by 11 yeas to 29 nays. Mr. Saulsbury, of Deleware, moved to strike out the 9th section, which authorises the President when he deems it necessary, to issue a proclama tion freeing the slaves of all rebels. Mr. Wilson, of Massachusetts, moved to make it imperative on the President to issue a proclamation to that effect. The debate continued to the adjournment without putting the question to the vote. "In the House of Representatives on the 19th, Mr. Bingham, of Ohio, reported from the special committee the articles of impeachment against W. H. Humphreys, judge of the District Court of the United States for the second district of Tennessee. A resolution was adopted providing for the appoint ment of five managers to conduct the impeachment, and that the Senate be acquainted with the action of the house. Mr. Richardson, of Illinois, then made a speech in deprecation of the continued agi tation of the negro question. The naval appropria tion was considered and finally passed. It embraces appropriations for the naval service to the amount of 3,000,000 dole. f , On the 20th both houses of Congress were chiefly engaged on the Confiscation Bill." The steamer Planter, the capture of which has been already reported, alluded to in the Congres sional proceedings, was armed with seven heavy cannon, one an 8-inch rifle gun, all of which were intended for Fort Ripley, a new fortification which the Confederates are erecting on the middle ground in Charleston harbour. COMMERCIAL. NEW YORK, MAY 20, 6 Past. Money remains very abundant indeed. To the esta blished houses in the street more is offered at 3 per cent. 4.1..„ they ran nse. and no one expects to get more than 4. We heat of paper selling at 4 to 5, and of some exceptional cases at 3 to 31. Money continues to pour into the city from all parts of the country. Foreign exchange is very dull indeed. Bankers ask 113:-1 to 114 for sterling, and 5 97k to 595 for francs. At these rates the demand is light. Stocks continue firm ; the feature of the market is still the active inquiry for bonds. Every kind of reliable bond which pays 6 or 7 per cent interest is being bought up. The fourth Eries sold this morning at 90i, the second Michigan Southern at 83, the second Terre Ilaute and Alton at 85, the first Milwaukee and Prairie du Chien at 96, the Chicago and North-Western assented at 49. Many of these bonds have risen 100 per cent. within a comparatively short space of time. At the morning board the Western shares were generally better. Guaranteed advanced to 581, Michigan Central to 62, Pittsburg to 231. The most active buying for cash was in Toledo, Galena and Rock Island, which were / to a higher. In Erie and Central there was no change. Hudson River advanced t, without much activity. The cotton market exhibited increased firmness yester day, with more doing. The sales embraced about 1,000 bales, closing stiff on the basis of 271 c to 28c for middling uplands. The market for breadatuffs was again heavy and lower. The large receipts and enhanced freights sent down prices, which led to increased activity. Flour fell off from sc. to 10c. per brl., and Wheat from 3c. to 6c, per bushel, with large transactions. Corn was heavy, with sales of sound western mixed at 48c. to 50c., in store and delivered. Pork was heavy and lower, with sales of mess at 12 dols. 3110. to 12 dole. 50c., and of prime at 9 dols. 75c. to 9 dole. 9 871 c. Sugars were steady, but less active. The sales embraced 500 hhds. and 50 boxes at full prices. Coffee was steady, while sales were moderate. The stock of Rio embraced 114,331 bags, and the total of mats and bags, of all kinds, reached 162,373. Freights were firm and active, including heavy shipments of wheat to Liverpool, in part by the Great Eastern. THE WEST INDIA, MEXICAN, AND PACIFIC MAILS. SOUTHAMPTON, JUNE 1. The Royal Mail Company's steamship La Plata, Capt. Weller, with the above mails, arrived this afternoon at 4 o'clock. She brings in all 367 pas sengers ; specie, 4,091,930 dollars, of which 509,602 dots. is in gold, 3,558,12t$ dole. in silver ; 6,000 dols. pearls, 5,000 dole, emeralds, and 12,000 dole. in paintings. The La Plata brings dates from Vera Cruz, May 2; Tampico, April 28; Havannah 7; Carthagena, May 3 ; Colon, 8 ; Jamaica, 10 ; Porto Rico, 13 ; Demerara 8 ; Trinidad, 9 ; St. Vincent, 10; St. Lucia, 11 ; Antigua, 12 ; Tortola, 13 ; and St. Thomas, 14. The Combined Court of Policy at Demerara was to meet on the 9th May. The weather, hitherto dry, had broken up, beneficial rains for the planters had set in, and the canes had considerably improved. The market for American provisions was quiet, imports in Excess of demand. Pork in full stock; likewise rice. Tonnage in fair supply. The exports of produce had fallen el ort of last year. The Barbadoes Legislature met on the 29th April, The business transacted is unimportant. Business of all kinds was very dull. The bank had been very stringent in its dealings, and discounts were with difficulty effected. The weather continued fine for the planters. The reaping of the old cane crop was well advanced. Several estates had finished, and the rest pushing forward at utmost speed as the canes were rapidly deteriorating. The operations of the Jamaica Cotton Company i n the east of the island were progressing satisfactorily. The agent of the company has forwarded by thi s mail 12 bales of ginned cotton of excfent quality, averaging 1301bs. per bale. ricking was going forward briskly, and :another shipment will follow shortly. No gr,:ieral improvement bad occurred in the drought, and great mortality had been occa sioned among estates' workir.g stock, owing to the In Westmoreland and other parishes h undreds of ca ttl e h ad died. Bus i ness was d u ll, and the l ow prices of produce in the home markets were said to be disheartening the sugar planters. The next coffee crop w president,a s expected G e to n . be Mosquera,a large one. had The Provisional issued a decree convoking the National Assembly to meet on the 6th of August next, at Carthagena, that being considered a more conveni • ent point than Bogota. He declares that if at that time the State of Antioquia is not incorporated in the Columbian Union, it will be brought in by force, as the Go- vernment can no longer consent to be thus dismem- bered. An official bulletin of 24th April, issued in Car thagena, coLfirms the report of the victory of Gen. Payan over Enao in the Cauca, and the arrest of the latter with some 350 men. The news by the Pacific Company's steamer from the Cauca is important. Tumaco, Barbacoas, and Buenaventura remained in the hands of the liberals, but it was expected the latter port would be taken by Arboleda in a very short time, as his troops were only two days distant and merely waiting for canoes to come down the river and take possession of the place. Arboleda had intercepted correspondence between Payan and Sanchez who were about uniting their forces, and he immediately marched against the former at Cali, and succeeded in making him and Gen. Alzate pri soners. This has caused great sensation among the Liberal party, Payan being one of their leading generals. It is supposed that Generals Lopez and Sanchez would be able to unite their forces to attack Arboleda, in which event there is little doubt of their success, Lopez having a well organised body of 3,500 men. It is also probable that Gen. Mos quera may himself enter the Cauca, after receiving intelligence of the capture of Payan. The Panama Star and Herald of the 9th says : " From Chile no incident has occurred during the past fortnight of sufficient importance to demand serious attention. Everything goes on smoothly, and although it is expected that the Government may sustain some little opposition on the opening of the Chambers in carrying a few of their mea sures, still no apprehension exists as to their stabi lity and power to carry out the ends proposed. The British vessel Albemarle arrived on the Bth. "Exchange on London, 451 to 46; exchange on Paris, 44,75 ; freights to England, £4 2s. 6d. " From Bolivia we learn that the risings in fa ',our of Goia. sulnw Ise.vro VA.Ark Si tilled through the prudence and energy of Gen. Acha. The revolu tionary party throughout the republic are almost, if not totally crushed. General Acha is the popular recipient of political honours, and, in conjunction with Goneral Perez, is received and acknowledged everywhere with pleasure by those who look for ward to deliverance from their present troubles. "Peru remains tranquil, there being no political news of importance to communicate. An extensive robbery of jewellery has taken place in Lima from the premises of Laurie and Briilman ; it appears during the Semana Santa, and while the principals of the establishment were at Chorrillas, a clerk named Luis Johnson, employed by them, taking advantage IA the time and of their absence ab sconded with valuables and jewellery in his posses sion to the amount of from 30,000 dols. to 40,000 dols. It is presumed he left in the steamer Callao for Valparaiso on the 20th ult." From Oregon and Vancouver's : The San Francisco papers state that snows and frosts continue to keep back adventurers to the Sal mon River mines, while the supply of provisions was so scanty that untold misery and death were threatening. Indeed, many already on the spot and unable to work for the snows, and dreading starva- tion, were leaving the mines for a time. Consider able sickness existed among them. A similar story may be told of the Cariboo mines in British Columbia. The rivers and interior country continued to be bound up by frost, and provisions had, at many places, risen to a famine price. Flour, at Yale, was said to be 75 dols. a barrel, while it was seriously reported that Chinamen there were paying as high as 5 do's& for dogs and cats to keep themselves from starvation. As to the gold prospects, nothing par ticularly new is mentioned. The lucky fellows write letters to the newspapers, dilating on their 100 dols. or their 500 dols. a day, "to the hand ;" while the unlucky ones, having nothing to say, "grin and bear it," hoping for better times soon. Some correspondents, however, do express a fear that the diggings are by no means so extensive as at first believed, nor so rich as interested parties—such as steamboat men, teamsters, farmers, and specula tors generally—report. THE EAST INDIA AND CHINA MAILS. The heavy pusAluu of mese maus, lu altargo of Mr. Roberts, of the General Post-office, arrived at Southampton on Saturday, in the Peninsular and Oriental Company's screw steamer Mooltan, Captain J. S. Field, at 1 p.m. This vessel brought 11.43 passengers (viz., 68 first-class, 30 second, and 18 deck), a list of which was published in The Sun of Wednesday, excepting those from Malta and Gibraltar. The Earl of Harr3wby and the Hon. Mr. and Mrs. Ryder were among the passengers from Gibraltar. On freight the Mooltan brought £1,135 in specie, 32 cases of valuables, 1,640 bales of silk, 1,412 sacks of corm, 12 sacks of potatoes, 19 packages of elephants' tusks, a case of pigeons, one dog, 8 live turtle, and 147 packages of general merchandise. The Mooltan left Alexandria on the 18th ult., Malta on the 22d, and Gibraltar on the 26th. She experienced fine weather in the Mediterranean ; moderate weather along the coasts of Spain and Portugal ; a fresh N.N.W. gale in the Bay of Biscay ; and light winds, with fine weather, in the Channel. On the 27th ult., at noon, off Cape St. Vincent, the Mooltar. spoke the screw steamer Maaander,and the barque Drurus ; and at,4 30 p.m., on the 29th, in the Bay of Biscay, the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Ellora, with the outward Bom bay mails. At Alexandria, on the 18th ult., were the French transport Mayenne, the screw steamer Clanado, and the usual Egyptian fleet. Her Majesty's ships London, Trident, Malacca, and Gannet were at Malta on the 22d, and the In trepid, Scylla, and Cuckoo at Gibraltar on the 26th. The James Watt, Captain Codd, 13 days from Malta, arrived at Gibraltar on the 21st, and sailed on the night of the 22d for the westward. General Turon, the -Commander-in-Chief of the late Spanish army of occupation in Africa, arrived at Algesiras, from Tetuan, on the afternoon of the 18th ult., with his staff. On the following day the General, accompanied by Lieutenant-General Don Carlos Yauch, his staff, and Several Spanish naval officers, paid a visit to his Excellency the Governor of Gibraltar. The Spanish General landed at Ragged Staff under a salute from the Saluting Battery, and was received by a guard of honour of the Royal Artillery. Gen. Turon, accompanied by the Governor and bis staff, proceeded to the North Front, where four batteries of the Royal Artillery, a company of the Royal Engineers, the 7th Fusi leers, 25th and 100th Regiments, were assembled in review order. After witnessing the review, in which the troops performed a variety of field evolu tions, General Turon and staff went to the Covent, and after luncheon they visited the military store department and some of the batteries, and rode to Europa and Windmill-hill. His Excellency em• barked at sunset, and returned to Algesiras in the Spanish steamer Vulcano. The Thght Rev. Dr. Scandella, Vicar-Apostolic of Gibraltar and Bishop of Antinoe, had loft Gibral tar for Italy in the British steamer Hecla, on his way to attend the assemblage of Roman Catholic Bishops at Rome. _ . . The Italian Royal corvette Iride, Capt. Roberto, arrived at Gibraltar on the 19th ult. from Leghorn, and saluted the garrison, which compliment was returned from the forts. On the 23d the Iride ex changed salutes of 11 guns with her Majesty's cor vette Scylla at 8 a.m., and also saluted the Governor with 17 guns at noon, before her departure f..: the River Plate station. _ ‘.

The half-yearly meeting of the proprietors was held on Friday at the company's offices, Abingdon street, Westminster—Sir S. Cunard in the chair. Mr. EDDY, the secretary, read the report, an ab stract of which has already appeared in The Sun. The CHAIRMAN, in mowing its adoption, expressed his regret that it was not of a more favourable cha racter. Mr. W. P. PRICE seconded the motion. The CHAIRMAN, in answer to questions from Mr. CROWLEY, Mr. GRACE, and Mr. SLOUS, said that all the calls had been paid up most satisfactorily. In reply to questions, it was stated that the com pany would encourage the Greek merchants to build warehouses and residences on the line. SEVENOAKS. A Wharncliffe meeting was held on Friday at the offices, Victoria-street—Lord Amherst in the chair. Mr. BROOKE, the assistant secretary, having read the marginal notes of the bill, it was unanimously resolved that the bill for authorising the construc tion of railways from Sevenoaks to Maidstone and Tunbridge be approved. KENT COAST. A Wharncliffe meeting of this company was held on Friday, at the offices, Victoria-street—Mr. J. C. Hilton in the chair. _ _ _ Mr. NEWMAN, the solicitor, read the heads of the bill, which authorises the company to make a rail way from the Ramsgate Extension, near Augustus stairs, to the quay, another from near the obelisk to the inner harbour, and a third to the head of the east pier, and to acquire an acre and a quarter of land at the western pier. A formal resolution approving the bill was car. tied unanimously. LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN. This company's new line of railway from Bir mingham to Sutton Coldfield opens to day for pas senger traffic. WEST MIDLAND. An adjourned special meeting of this company was held at Worcester on Thursday, Mr. Lewis in the chair, to consider the Wellington and Cheshire Junction Railway Bill, and also a Bill for making a railway from Wellington to Market Drayton, in the county of Salop, and to Newcastle, in the county of Stafford. Formal resolutions approving the Bills were adopted, and the meeting was adjourned to the 19th of June to consider other bills. DUNDEE AND ARBROATH. The report of the directors states that the work ing of the traffic conjointly with that of the Scot tish North-Eastern came into operation on the 31st of January last, from which date to the ;3Uth April the traffic was dealt with in terms of the deed of agreement. The receipts for the half-year were £15,431, to which was added £1,690 from the pre ceding account, making £17,121. From this was deducted £7,519 for working expenses and taxes, £1,667 for dividend at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum on the preference stock, and £7,000 for a dividend at the rate of 7 per cent, per annum on the ordinary £25 shares, leaving a balance of £935. The directors proposed that those dividends, less income-tax, be paid on or before the Ist of July next. The total expenditure on capital account amounted to £347,712. WATERFORD AND KILKENNY. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on Saturday, at the London Tavern ; Mr. C. It. Colman in the chair. The report stated that the traffic for the half year ending the 25th of March last amounted to £9,307, and the working expenses to £4,445, leav ing a balance of £4,862. To this was added £B4 from the preceding half-year, making £4,946. From this was deducted £3,556 for interest on loans, leaving £1,391. The working expenses having been reduced, the balance of revenue was considerably in excess of the amount realised in previous years, and nearly three times as much as in the half-year immediately preceding the removal of the management to Ireland. The directors re commended that a dividend at the rate of 14- per cent. per annum be paid on the preference stock. With respect to the extension line to Maryborough, upon which the future of the main line so much depended, the directors had reason to believe there was a certainty of a contract being entered into for the works this summer. The capital account showed that £595,055 had been expended. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said the directors intended to propose a dividend of 295. per cent. per annum on the prefer ence shares, being is. less than that recommended in the report. Mr- ADAMS contended that the local management had not achieved what the local directors had pro mised on taking office. Mr. DELAHUNTY explained that the local direc • tors had done everything in their power to promote the interests of the company. They had obtained the Act authorising the extension line, notwith standing the opposition of Mr. Adams and others. They had also succeeded in obtaining a subscription of £40,000, but they required a further subscription of about £60,000 before they could make arrange ments with a responsible contractor for carrying on the works. Mr. FREEMAN believed the only chance of im proving their property was to raise the remainder of the £lOO,OOO, and to carry out the extension line as recommended. The report was then received and adopted. On the suggestion of Mr. Adams a dividend of 1 per cent. per annum was declared on the preference shares, instead of the 295. per cent., and the differ ence was to be applied towards paying off an accu mulated debt against revenue, it being understood that the remainder of the debt was to be entirely wiped out of the next half-year's revenue. The retiring directors were re-Aceted. A committee of consultation was appointed, with a view to assist in carrying out the extension line, and the proceedings terminated. EASTERN BENGAL. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on Friday at the office, Gresham-street, Mr. J. F. Leith in the chair. The report, an abstract of which has appeared in The Sun, was taken as read. The CHAIRMAN, in moving its adoption, congra tulated the proprietors on the great progress made in the works during the past half-year. They would perceive from the report of the engineer that the line would be completed in June, and that so far the auticipations of the local engineer had been realised. He fully expected in the course of the present month (May) to run an engine for the first time over the whole length of their railway. H© (the Chairman) expected that at the next meeting ho would be able to tell them of the opening of the line to the public, and to give them some account of the very large traffic in goods and passengers they had reason to expect would pass over their line. He was informed that Government were making arrangements for the construction and improvement of cross roads to the railway stations, with a view to benefit the country and increase the advantages of railway communication throughout various dis tricts in India. The report was adopted, and the proceedings ,erminated. OTTOMAN (SMYRNA TO AIDIN). A special meeting of this compaLy was held on Friday at the offices, St. Michael's-house, Cornhill, Sir M. Stephenson in the chair. On the motion of the CHAIRMAN, formal resolu- tions van unanimously passed, confirming the alteration of the statutes for increasing the number of directors from eight to nine, and electing General Tremenheere to complete the authorised number of directors at the Board. NORTHERN OF FRANCE. The total receipts on this company's old and new lines amounted for the week ending the 20th May on 701 miles to £49,487 against :£46,843 on 623 miles for the corresponding week of 1861. The aggregate receipts from the Ist of January to the above date amounted to £955,766 against £903,086 for the same period of last year, showing an in crease of £52,680. SCOTCH ECCLESIASTICAL ASSEMBLIES. The mode of election and settlement of ministers has for many years been the great qucestio vexata of the Church of Scotland, and in the Assembly now sitting in Edinburgh the subject has been agitated under circumstances which exhibit an increasing amount of dissatisfaction with the present state of the law. In 1843, after the Free Church secession, a bill was carried through Parliament by Lord Aberdeen which modified the old law of church patronage to the limited extent of enabling con gregations to state objections to the nominee of the patron, and requiring the Church courts to ad judicate upon these objections. The act has from year to year given rise to lengthened and costly processes, and, ultimate appeal being to the assem bly in May, almost every year cases have come, before the supreme court of the church for judg ment. The result of these oases has generally de pended on the circumstance whether the popular party or the patronage party had the majority in the representative Assembly of the year, the act itself being so constructed as to allow great latitude of interpretation as between the force and genuine ness of the objections on the one hand, and the number of objectors on the other. The ambiguity of the act, and the differences of opinion in the church, have necessarily led to decisions somewhat difficult to reconcile, so that it is almost impossible to predict in any case the result of an appeal to such a fluctuating and divided body of judges. In some of the cases presentees have lost £5OO to £BOO in attempts to carry through their presentations, and congregations have lost an equal sum in endea vouring to keep out unacceptable presentees. The act requires that the objections shall be personal to the presentee, and affect his suitability for the parish; but cases have occurred in which objec tions were offered by congregations who, disap pointed in not having got the man of their choice, resisted the settlement of the presentee in the hope of securing his rejection, and ultimately getting the patron to accept the popular choice. There was no case, under the sot before this Assembly, but a case in the Presbytery of Edinburgh had been pro secuted up to the last stage, and had attracted great attention in the country. The Rev. Mr. Phin, minister of Galashiels, was in February last pre sented by the Crown, as patron, to the first charge in the parish of South Leith ; but the majority of the congregation, anxious to secure the promotion of the minister of the second charge, stoutly opposed the settlement of Mr. Phin. Evidence was led at great length upon the objections, but, from reluc tance to " intrude" himself, the presentee withdrew after he had the opportunity of clearing his own reputati... The case, however, strongly helped to illustrate the working of the Act, and to increase the dissatisfaction. In the Assembly, the Rev. Dr. Lee renewed a motion he had made last year to the effect that it was highly desirable that the Act should be repealed, and that a new law should be passed, by which the incon veniences and mischiefs complained of should be obviated, and the rights and privileges of all parties interested more clearly determined and better se cured. In an able speech he condemned the Act as injurious to the patron, who did not know the ex tent of his power; to the presentees, who were ex posed to expensive suits to meet in many cases frivolous objections ; to the Church courts, whose time it wasted; and to the people, whomit distressed by the uncertainty and costliness of its operation. The motion was lost by 145 to 91, but the division showed a great access of strength, a similar motion last year having been lost by 147 to 51, the majority against Dr. Lee being thus reduced from 96 to 54. Both sides in the discussion acknowledged the un satisfactory operation of the Act, but the majority either thought the evils might be to some extent cured by amendment of the regulations for working the Act, or thought the danger of an appeal to Par liament too great to be incurred, looking to the un certainty of the result, The majority were also dividel in their views as to the principle of apply ing the Act, whether as a measure for securing "suitable" or " acceptable" ministers. The only case coming before the Assembly by process on this occasion was that of the minister of the parish of Dunlop, the Rev. W. Gebbie, who was libelled by certain parishioners for heresy and irre verent conduct. There were 19 counts in the libel, of which 18 referred to expressions used by Mr. Gebbie which were in their form heretical, such as, that assurance is essential to salva tion, that the unconverted cannot pray, &c. ; and one charge related to a succession of scenes in the church of Dunlop during the revival excitement of 1860, in which the minister was accused of stimu lating the frenzied ebullitions of the people, and taking part in the indecorous and irreverent mani festations that took place. The Assembly appointed a committee to confer with Mr. Gebbie, who after wards reported that they had received most satis factory assurances of his repudiation of the alleged doctrinal errors implied in the words ascribed to him, and of his regret at having taken part in the scenes of excitement referred to. The Assembly unanimously resolved that the rev. gentleman be admonished to avoid all such occasions of " unsea sonable and unscriptural excitement ;" and several members expressed their strong opinion of the per nicious influence which the scenes that had occurred in Dunlop Church were likely to produce on sound religion. One of the speakers (Sir J. H. Maxwell) said that at Annan and Dumfries scenes had oc curred still worse than at Dunlop, and that auricu lar confession had been encouraged to an extent from which the Church of Rome would shrink. The Free Church Assembly, which sits simultane ously with the parent body, on Tuesday last filled up the vacancy in the New College cau sed by the death of Principal Cunningham. The office ofPrin cipal was, by a majority of 288 to 126, conferred upon the Rev. Dr. Candlish, with out a chair, and the Rev. Robert Rainy, of Free High Church, Edin burgh, was appointed to the chair of A D t i t v h in e i s ty itt a i n na d Church History by 230 to 202 ves• place Majesty'so on a L b o i l r l d i H n rgoh on Friday a long debate tookker duced by Lord Belha ven ( Commissioner to the Church Scotland)of t endthepowers intoth o e f House of Lords, to s ettle and ex the Courts of the Church of Scotland. The clause c!tation of witnesses was giving power o f comp ulso7 t h a t which formed the p rinci p al subject of discus sion, and on the motion of the Earl of Dalhousie, the Assembly unanimously resolved to petition both Houses of Parliament not to pass this bill on the fol lowing grounds : — First, because it proposes to Par liament to legislate on a subject which they, as a Chnrch, hold to belong to the Church solely of itself ; and, secondly, because it proposed to confer upon the Courts of the Established Church civil powers wlf.ch had always been withheld from it from the Reformation down to the present hour. The report of the sustentation fund given to the Assembly showed that £112,616 had been collected during the year, showing an increase of £523 on the previous year, and giving to each minister on the equal dividend the sum of £137, this being in addition to congregational supplement to stipend. The ministers of the Free Church were appointed to preach on the first Sunday of November next in commemoration of the bicentary expulsion of the 2,000 Nonconformist ministers in England in 1662. THE MOORS AND FORESTS. Many of our contemporaries are predicting already what are the shooting prospects of the season on the moors. But in point of fact this is of all time of the year, the least likely to furnish any statement on the subject, at least, as re gards young birds, which for the most part are not yet out of the shell. A few young cheepers have been seen on the low grounds here and there, but, as a general rule, hatching does not take place till the first week in July. Hitherto the weather has been most favourable, and with three weeks of such weather as we have had for the last month, there can be little doubt that grouse will be as plentiful as ever they were known to be in the North of Scotland. Last year the con tinuous rains and rough weather throughout August and part of September prevented sportsmen from making large bags, and in consequence a more than ordinary breeding stock was left on nearly all the moors north of the Spey. This, together with a winter of unusual mildness, left the old grouse more numerous and stronger than for many years past. Unfortunately in those districts where disease prevailed this time last year it has re-ap peared with undiminished virulence, and is coming lower down the hills. It appears to be worst on the east side of the Spey, and except that there is a suspicion of tapeworm on the high moors at Caw dor, we have heard of no case of disease north of the Findhorn. From Carr Bridge a correspondent writes that on the extensive moors of Lord Scars dale the birds are dying fast. In the channels of burns the dead grouse can be taken up in bas ketfuls. The prospects are as yet anything but good, but we hope that matters may yet mend, and that Lord Scarsdale and party may number their braces by scores on the 12th of August. We regret to hear from the same quarter, that Mr. Wynne Williams has been suffering in health, and he is not likely to return to his pleasant quarters at Tulchen Lodge. Mr. Bass, M.P., has been making inquiry regarding the Tulchen moors. Tie Scotsman reports from the district of Comrie that there has not been such an abundant stock of grouse and blsekcock, besides other game, breeding for the last ten years. The nests are well filled with eggs, and the birds began to set two weeks earlier than last year. The ooveye of partridges are abundant in all directions, and there never were better prospects of good part ridge-shooting than this year. On Benvoirlich and other high mountains the ptarmigan are plentiful, and have withstood the winter well, and on all the low grounds pheasants, wild ducks, roe, hare, &C., are abundant, and sportsmen may calculate on good sport. Deer-stalkers may look for ward to a season in which red-deer will be in good condition sooner than usual, and stags crowned with antlers of greater bulk and length than the average. There is hardly a forest in the north wherein deer have been deprived of more than a single day's food during the winter, and the growth of their favourite herbage is a long way in advance of the usual run of seasons. Already the heads are well grown, and by the middle of August we should not wonder to hear of their being clear of velvet— , Inverness Courier. COUN2II MAREE.7S.
