By F. B. COURTENAY, M.R.C.S.E., And formerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan Infirmary for the Cure of Strictures of the Urethra. " This work is the production of a surgeon whose special attention has been directed, through a long professional life, to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which their management is founded. By hie systematic management an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject to stricture."—Aedical Circular.

A recent number of the Richmond Daily Enquirer contains the following letter from the pen of the above distinguished man : My Good Friend,—Your excellent letter of August last has reached me only now. Notwithstanding its long tar rying by the way I hasten to thank you for it with all my heart, and to assure you that its kind words and generous sentiments have lost none of their force by the lapse of time. I hope you will net think me insensible to the honours with which you tell we I would be welcomed in Europe, if, at present, I appear deaf to your assurance of their high import. It is true that the role which, up to this time, I have been permitted to play in the great drama which my country is enacting before the world, is humble ; still our cause is just ; to me the blood of my children has consecrated it, it is precious to my heart. All I have and all I own are in it ; therefore, I prefer to tarry here—a refugee from my home and my little ones—watching and waiting. That we have no navy is also true. Nevertheless some thing may turn up. Chance may throw opportunity in my way. If so, here lam in place, and here I prefer to tarry, content to wait upon events, and patiently to bide my time. It has now been but little more than a year since this war was forced upon us. We, on our part, had to com mence it without an army, without a navy, and even with out a governmental organisation. On the other hand the enemy, surrounded with all the appliances of war, and complete in his organisation, ar ranged his legions for battle and rejoiced in his strength. We found ourselves, purely an agricultural people, cut off from the world an i suddenly thrown upon our own re sources, while he wa,s backed by all the appliances that the workshops of Europe could supply or that commerce could furnish. Notwithstanding this, our people bravely and de liberately resolved to withdraw from all political association with the North, and to accept the consequences, be they what they may. There was no haste, coercion, or intimidation about this move. Never was the popular will more fairly expressed than when the Southern people uttered their voice for secession. Our enemies have sought to make the impression abroad that the reverse was the case ; that this so .called " Rebel lion was hatched by a faction, and is led by a few fire eaters." No such thing. We were pushed into it, all un prepared as we were, by the tyranny and the usurpations and the factions of the North. In every Southern State the people were regularly consulted on the question of separation from the North. They expressed their opinions freely, and after full delibe. ration ; and never were people more unanimous at any ballot box than were ours for instant, complete, and eternal separation from the North ; and that, too, at the instant, all unprepared as they were. There is now no Union feel ing in the South, but the Yankees would fain have you be lieve that there is. It is a fact not generally known abroad, but I may state it now, that when this war commenced, and even after we had assembled an army in the field, such was the want of preparation, and such the lack of munitions of war on our part, that there was not only not a percussion cap machine in the Confederacy, but when the army of Manassas took up its position it had but four rounds to the man. Had the enemy joined battle with us there a few weeks sooner than he did, we should, for the want of percussions caps, have had to quit the field or fight him entirely with the bayonet. But see what we have accomplished in the way of pre paration. At this moment the great army of the North, said to be the most superb with equipments that the world ever saw—an army which we have stood still and permitted the enemy to raise, and discipline, and to bring against us at leisure—that grand army, before which our capital was to fall and our people succumb, is now driven from its trenches, routed and flying before our braves, armed, some with flint locks, some with fowling pieces, some with per cussions, and all of divers patterns, just as we could fabri cate or rake and scrape them together. This fighting and fleeing has been going on since yesterday week. " In all probability you and the whole of Europe will first hear of it as a great Yankee victory, for your first in. telligence of it will be from the North. Happily, for the cause of truth, you, in Europe, are beginning to find the Yankees out, and to understand their mendacious proclivities. They know it, and have recently resorted to a 'new dodge.' You have ceased to believe their newspapers, and have begun to find out that their representations of the Southern cause, of Southern prowess, sentiment, and feelings are not to be depended on, so they now send you what purport to be Southern papers, but they are counterfeits printed in the North. They will take one of our Richmond papers, for instance, duplicate its form and type, copy its advertisements, fill its reading columns with their own inventions, give to it the Richmond imprint, and sent it abroad as a bona fide South ern paper, which you will be sure to believe. From this counterfeit their own papers are filled with extracts credited to the Richmond papers. Thus the designing men there still seek to deceive their own people and the world. They boast of this as one of their "cute Yankee tricks." They are a curious set. The Yankees, in this war, have equalled the Chinese in falsehoods. Their generals lie to their soldiers, to one another, and to their Government, and their Government to the world. About a month ago the heart of all Yankeedom was made by Gen. Halleck t•) rejoice over the reported capture by Pope of 10,000 men and 15,000 stand of arms, from Beau regard's rear ; when these 10,000 prisoners, with the 15,000 stand of arms, had no more existence in reality than Fal staff's men in buckram. A friend of mine brought up Beau regard's rear. He waited and offered Pope battle, but Pope made no attack except upon a train of cars with a few sick. You recollect that Mr. Lincoln reported to his Congress last December that he had an army:of 667,000 men already raised to "crush out the rebellion ;" and that France and England were asked to wait 90 days, when they should have plenty of cotton. Now let us inquire what that army is, for I have never been able to make it out. You know that we have never pretended to have on our side more than 400,000 men in the field at any one time, and that in every advance that Lincoln has attempted to make on us he has been brought to a standstill, or driven back as soon as he parted from his ships and gunboats. Neither Hunter in Georgia, nor Benham in South Carolina, nor Burnside in North Carolina, have found themselves in sufficient force to advance against us. Halleck had to be called with his army from Missouri to reinforce Buell so as to enable him to advance upon Beauregard at Corinth, where we have held the two armies in check for months. Butler has not force enough to venture out of New Orleans—and our Jackson, with an army all told of not over 21,000, drove the Yankee Banks out of the Valley of the Shenandoah two or three weeks ago. With this small force he created such a panic in Washington that Lincoln called out the militia by telegraph to defend his capital. He also called General Fremont with his " divisicn" from the mountain, and M'Dowell with his from the Rappahannock, to reinforce Banks and hold in check this handful of Confederates, while M'Clellan, with his "grand army," has been chased from Richmond. Either we are superior to the Yankees in prowess as two to one, or they have lost in this war since December lag not less than a quarter of a million of men; or the "universal Yankee nation" has attempted a fraud upon the Governments of Europe by misleading them as to the extent of the preparations to " crush out" the so-called rebellion in 90 days. Moreover, in all of our engagements with the enemy, he claims that we outnumber him. How could this be with his 667,000 against our 400,000 ? Where are these 667,000 men ? I cannot account for more than about 400,000. It is true we have inflicted many and heavy losses upon the enemy in what he has proclaimed to you as victories. But great as these losses have been, they do not account for the difference between 667,000 and 400,000. Action est de Republica. The Union is gone; and the sooner the world addresses itself to that fact, the better will it be for humanity and commerce. Most that Europe knows of us has been learned through Yankee sources, and I have taken up your precious time with this disgusting recital merely to dis abuse your mind of any Yankee falsehoods that may have found a lodgment there, and to give you practical illustration of the despicable character of the people with no proclamation our wives children, Orleans, to w hom unfortunately we fi n d ourselves embroiled,: and from whose association we wish t o w ithd raw. an 1d tell pth youaessabrmy Butler's uslaves of lersinfamous against a Yankee refinement upon savage barbarity which we have to contend with. To shoot with poisoned arrowt is universally admitted to be both savage and barbarous, but our men have been shot with explosive bullets. Imagine a Minie bullet to be cut in two transversely, and a wire to be inserted axially through the front half or cone : the other part is then hollowed out into a cup, filled with fulminate or some other explosive prepatutien, and then securely fitted into the front part and in su c h a manner that when the ball st r ik es the wire is driven. b ac k , an d so b y p er cussion explode s th e ball inside the wounded man. 1 6 no t that, think you equal to the , poisoned arrow ? There can be no mistake about it, for I have seen the missile itself, and would send you one if I could find a safe conveyance for the dangerous thing. Th e true aim of savage warfare is to kill and murder —of civi lised to wound and disable. Which is it that the Yankees are waging ? The negro is not, as the Yankee would have the world believe, the cause or the object of the war: The tariff and hatred of the Yankee character—these are the true causes. They are a nation of shopkeepers and pedlars; and under TUESDAY EVENIG, AUGUST 12, 1862. _~i. pretext of raising revenue to maintain the Government, Southern industry was taxed to support Yankee workshops. With this they waxed fat and grew insolent until their in solence became unbearable. We choose no longer to submit to their rule, and so sought simply to Withdraw from all political association with them. We ask nothing of them. All we want is simply to be left and let alone; and the simple fact that they should attempt to force us to remain in political asso ciation with them, is proof enough as to the inequality of benefit which the old Union conferred upon the two sec tions. The fuss and turmoil aboilt slavery is merely incidents in this unhappy state of affairs. In most of the Northern States it is against the law for a freed negro to come there. They will not allow a negro from the South to dwell among them. and which is unequalled by any other iron-eased ships in the world. The only important differences between these vessels consist in certain variations in the extent of the armour with which they are to be plated. The Warrior and Black Prince are plated partially ; the Northumber land, Minotaur, and Agincourt will he completely covered, and the Achilles will be like the Warrior, but further pro tected between wind and water with the belt'hich I have had the honour to introduce. In order to meet thesechanges, the dimension of the vessels have also been correspond ingly varied, for the very purpose of securing a uniform speed in all, that the whole might act together as one colos sal fleet. Aftmsupplying the North with whaiever they required of our produce, and buying of the North, upon their own terms, whatever we required of their manufacture, there re mained annually to the South a quantity of surplus produce which requires 20,000 ships and more than 200,000 seamen to carry abroad and distribute among the markets of the world. In the handling of this produce Northern factors and Northern shipping did the principal part. Besides this the laws of the Union gave the North the preference over all the world in the markets of the South. These were great advantages, and the North waxed fat and strong upon them. Their correlatives were wanting to the South—for the South could sell dearer and buy cheaper in other countries. twelve millions of such customers as inhabit the South are enough to make any people rich, and they are such as no nation can afford to lose. But let secession be acknow ledged as an accomplished fact and the North will lose this preference, this trade, and taest, customers, with all the benefits derived from their political association with us. It is therefore not for the negro, but solely on account of pecu niary and selfish considerations, that the North is waging this war. She is vainly seeking to compel us to renew an association that we abhor. Hitherto we have acted purely on the defensive. We have not sought to invade the North, but panoplied in the triple armour of a just cause we have stood still, and ever since the battle of Manassas (now a year ago) quietly looked on while the enemy raised his armies and completed his pre parations for the war in his own way. Having destroyed his " grand army," we shall now carry the war into Africa, I hope, compelling him to withdraw his forces from our bor ders and to sue for peace. But peace is very difficult at present, I admit ; in the North reason has lost its sway over the mind of the people. and the judgment of their rulers has been taken away. In the South passions run high. Therefore, in the present temper of the two peoples it would be impossible just now for them to agree upon the preliminary step to any lasting peace—viz., the adjustment of boundaries. We are, there fore, drifting into a war of exhaustion. There are rumours of an armed intervention from your side ; but upon what basis this intervention is to take place the many-tongued dame has not deigned to enlighten us. Any such intervention cannot but work mischievously if it fail to recognise the right of the people in the disputed states of Delaware, Maryland, Kentucky, and Missouri freely and fairly to decide for themselves whether they will cast their lot with the North or the South. Neither can it be supposed that intervention would recognise any dismem berment of present states. With us this is not a war of conquest, but a war for a principle which is dear to every French heart—a principle by which your Emperor sits upon his great throne—the right of every people to be governed in their own way. The strong arm of mighty nations may force a peace upon some other basis, but any such peace will prove a hollow truce. It itshould be objected that in this fleet there are but six ships, I answer that six such ships are enough to form a fleet. At the most moderate estimate they win cost more than two millions sterling, and therefore, in money value, no:less than in offensive and defensive powers, will be equi valent to 20 of our old 100 gun line-of-battle ships. It is easy to say there ought to be a much larger number of such vessels, and that is a subject upon which different opinions nosy fairly be held ; but in my humble judgment it would iron -cased ships,. all the taxation of the country, especially at a time like thi s , f or t h e mere purpose o f "bl oat i ng " our armaments to th a t ex t en t. each W setheaamveantefxrotm 1 1 in a second set of no less than nine 1 a re capable eachalb 2 l t e n fk o n f a ob c t o as.n - o t p 4 e 6f roaottoihnegse tons tfio burden,gv e e t a h r e e r b as ei n being fleet, becau se they and built of timber (like most of the French vessels), and then plated with iron ; while the remaining four are to be of iron throughout. The five plated timber ships are the Prince Consort, the Royal_ Alfred, the Royal Oak, the Ocean, and the Caledonia, all of which will steam from 12 to 121 knots. When we consider that they are to be plated all over from stem to stern, and will therefore each carry a large number of protected guns, we might without exaggeration consider that of themselves they are not unworthy to be called a formidable fleet. But there is not the shadow of a reason why we should not join with them the iron ships Hector and Valiant, which are as nearly as possible of the same tonnage, and which are expected to steam at just the same rate. The remaining two of the nine vessels are the Defence and the Resistance, each of which is of 3,700 tons burden, and have actually steamed at 114 knots. So that here we have another splendid fleet of nine —or, to say the least, of seven—well-matched vessels, all much more nearly equal than those which composed our fleet during the wars, and all undoubtedly capable of co operating in the most reliable and perfect manner. What can possibly be meant by saying, under these circum stances, er t l h y at un w a e b ar le to n e" With regard to the Defence and the Resistance, a most singular error has obtained currency. In his pamphlet on n b o u e d c i t n ur g e no . fleet at all" I am wholly and " The Fleet of the Future " Mr. Scott Russell gives an imaginary conversation between Lord Clarence Paget and the constructors of the navy, with the view of showing how the designs of these vessels were originated—a conversa tion which is intended apparently to reflect exclusively upon the Secretary to the Admiralty, but which seems to me to indicate so poor a spirit, and such very attenuated conversational powers on the part of the constructors that, if I were they, I certainly should not thank the author for his representation. lam sure Mr. Scott Russell is not fair to those gentlemen when, in answer to a request from Lord Clarence Paget, he makes them humbly say, or rather ejaculate—" My Lord, I am sorry, but, if you please, it can't be done." lam certain this is not the language of real life, but imaginary conversation with a vengeance. There has, permit me to say, been already at least one error committed by France and England in this war. When these difficulties commenced all Europe viewed them through Northern media. This was natural enough, per haps, for all Europe depended upon Northern statements for information concerning us. These have now been found to be erron?.ous ; but not until France and England had committed themselves to a blockade that was against all rule. The effects of that blockade upon our industry is likely to prove lasting, and certain classes in France and England may yet find ceuse to rue it, even if ministers do not. You can well conceive that the blockade affords most effective encouragement to home manufactures in the South. The energies of the people have, by it, been diverted into new channels of industry, and manufacturing establishments are Tepidly springing up on all hands. So that, when France and England decided to respect Lincoln's paper blockade, they unwittingly, perhaps, called influences into play which are rapidly converting us into a manufacturing as well as an agricultural people. The operatives in your workshops may yet have cause to lament a policy which cannct fail to call into existence many rival establishments to your own, and which would not have found existence but for the course which the two Governments thought proper to pursue. As for the preservation, restoration, or reconstruction of the Union, it is simply an impossibility. Laying aside all questions of military power and prowess between the contending parties, the mere hatred of one for the other, and which is obvious to every intelligent being who has attentively observed the events of the contest as they have developed themselves, is enough to destroy all hopes for any such union. Harmony between the states, goodwill among the people are essential to any such reconstruction or preserva tion, and you see enough even from your distant stand-point to satisfy you that we are two people, and that so long as our favourite doctrine holds good—viz., that every rightful Government rests on the consent of the governed, no power on earth can unite us again or make us one. But enough of this. Let me thank you for remembering me with your wind charts of the Eastern Coast of South America. I had, as you know, watched their progress in your hands, with a lively and active interest, and had waited the publication with anxious solicitude. Ima g i ne ray disappointment at their loss. Nothing from you save the letter to which this is an answer has reached me since I left Washington. I am rather proud of the abusive attacks which you tell me have teen heaped upon me in the North. You generously denounce them, but I draw consolation from them, for it shows that I am of some importance still in the eyes of the Yankees. They have offered a reward for my head, and classed me among the chief rebels in the cause of civil liberty; and so they have honoured me with a place among the great rebels of whom our Washington was first, foremost, the greatest, and the best. What he fought for, for that I contend. Adieu, my friend, and let me hear from you, and believe me yours, most truly, M. F. MAURY. Viscomte de Chabanne, admiral French navy, Paris. OUR I-RON-C'ASED FLEET. But to return to the vessels. Mr. Scott Russell does them great injustice when he says they are no better than " what are technically called mere tubs." It is true that they are very imperfectly protected ; that their ports are compara tively low; and that their speed is less than 12 knots. But this is all that can be said against them. As regards their lines, they are really most excellently formed vessels ; and it seems to me a great exaggeration to pronounce a ship with ports seven feet above the water capable of steaming at what many consider a very good speed, and formed so as to behave admirably in a sea-way, a " mere tub." I deny altogether that a ship of this kind is what we technically understand by that expressive phrase. It seems to have satisfied Sir Morton Peto, however, for in his speech in the House of Commons on the Ist of the month he spoke of these ships as " two of the veriest tubs imaginable," and so gave Lord Clarence an opportunity of telling him truthfully that he did not understand what he was talking about. I do not think I need extend these remarks upon Mr. Scott Russell's letter any further except to say that I agree with him in believing that we have wasted money in' build ing so many unprotected wooden ships. Even on this sub ject, however, much might be said in mitigation of a harsh judgment. We must remember that the Board of Admiralty are compelled to rely greatly upon their profes sional advisers, and professional shipbuilders are only just now awakening to the fact that we can build small iron cased vessels as well as large. I was myself told only three months ago, by naval constructors in high po sitions—and very able naval constructors, too—that the thing was impossible. Fortunately, however, it is not only possible, but practicable, and even easy. I do not feel at liberty to speak more fully upon this point at present ; but 1 have succeeded very recently in demonstrating that even without the single experimental f€ ature introduced into the Enterprise (the erection of an iron top-side upon a wooden bottom) we can build cor vettes, sloops, and even gunboats, either of wood or of iron, protected with iron armour of the usual kind; and not partially, or imperfectly protected, either, but absolutely coated all over from end to end. This is a result so satis factory and so momentous that, until it was actually se cured, I scsrcely hoped to see it accomplished. The effect of it will be to sweep away at a stroke the necessity for making our iron-cased ships so extravagantly large and costly, and to enable us to seud our flag all over the globe in shot-proof vessels of all sizes, as perfectly adapted to our various necessities as our wooden fleets ever were. ~~- % r ~~ .~- - /7Z ~~l ~ PE1CE.....—..M. STAMPED ....sd. is eutitled to the utmost con2ide, •It takes the form of this answer t o th e South • —" We are not prepared to dispute the justieo of your claim, but to grant it would really injure you. Instead of ending the sufferings of your people it would stimu late the efforts of your adversaries and prolong the war." Nothing can be more reasonable than this view, and it is unquestionably sound if applied to recognition on the part of England alone, while other Powers hold back. Such a step would be pre.. judicial to all parties, and in the North it would have the effect of a personal affront. But this is a measure which no one recommends ; that which is advocated is not English, but European recognition. This would be void of the sting of personality. A man may be incensed at the action of another man when the same action on the part of a multitude will not create a feeling of irritation, but one of awe. There would be a sense of humiliation in any deference to the action of one Power, which could not be aroused by the concurrent action of several Powers. What, then, would be the effect in the North of the only kind of recognition which is recommended —that of two or more leading Powers ? On this point no evidence can be better than that of Ameri cans themselves. Why is it dreaded in the North if it would supply them with the stimulus they need so much ? Why is it deprecated by the advocates of the North if it would do their cause invaluable service ? So also with the Southerner, who should be able to judge more correctly than ourselves. How comes it that he desires it if dangerous to his own interests ? Here we have the evidence of those best informed upon the subject, and between whom there is no collusion. When testimony from oppo site sides and hostile witnesses agrees it is regarded in every court of justice as very conclusive evidence. If we examine the subject in detail it will be diffi cult to discern how political capital could be made out of so solemn and adverse a fact. It would be the aim of a recruiting sergeant to conceal rather than parade it. If an Irishman will not enlist for his love of fighting and a bounty of £4O, his objec tion to lodging in a swamp or returning short of an arm is stronger than any rhetoric will overcome. Words will only be wasted where money fails. But, in reality, the continuance of the war will not rest with orators or New York newspapers, but with Mr. Lincoln and those who advise him. When ever the day arrives for peace it will be decided at Washington, as in the case of the Trent, and the country will acquiesce at once. Hence, the real ques tion is what effect will be produced on those at the head of affairs, on men above the reach of declama tion, and well aware of the difficulties and dangers that surround them. Every such man knows that European recognition ends the contest, unless it be continued without an object, or a hope. There have been many similar cases in the New World, and in all of them recognition has sealed the result. It is dated —others who had an office and lost it. In order to get rid gradually of the wholesale system of corruption which was fostered by the old Govern ment, Northern employes had to be brought down, especially for the higher posts, and they are natu rally looked upon as intruders who take away their bread from others.

Augustus Craven, arrived in Kingstown harbour on Saturday, at 1.30 p.m. She took up a position somewhat near the mouth of the harbour, the place usually occupied by war vessels, and hoisted the American ensign, the Stars and Stripes, at her wizen-peak. At two o'clock the captain's gig was sent ashore for the American Consul, Mr H. B. Hammond, who went off to the ship, and remained on board her during the afternoon. The Tusca rora is 1,300 ,tons burd en , b arque r i gge d. H er exterior is pltin and unpretending The masts and rigging app ear i n good proportion with the hull, which is sometimes not the case with large steamers. The hull has a slight sheer, as it is termed nautically, the bow and stern being somewhat higher than the midships. She is one of forty war vessels, ranging up to 1,500 tons burden, that were built by the Federal Government in six months ; and in 90 days after her keel was laid her captain took the command of her. Her dimensions are—leng th 130 feet, beam 33 feet, and draught of water 13 feet. She carries coal for 20 days. The engines are 250-horse power, and can work up to 400. They fit compactly in the engine-room, are almost entirely below the water-line, and are also sheltered by t"ie coal-bunkers on each side. As seen from alongside,and when viewed on board, the Tuscarora seems a solidly built and well appointed vessel. Her deck is flush with the exception of a small forecastle, on which a sentry mounts guard. Her armament is altogether on the upper deck, and consists of eight guns. Of these six are heavy 32-pounders, and are run out three on each side from the after bulwarks. The remain ing two are the principle feature of the ship. They are Dahlgrcn guns, placed on pivots, and throw 1 shells of 1351 h weight. The bulwarks alongside each of these guns strip off, so as to admit of their 1 being worked. The after-part of the lower deck, exclusive of the engine-room, is devoted to the offi cers' cabins. The captain's cabin is on deck at the stern. The forepart of the lower deck contains the quarters of the crew, the hospital, the cook-house, &c. The space between the decks is not very high, The armoury is on deck, alongside the captain's cabin, and contains cutlasses, rifled muskets, Minie breech loading rifles, and a supply of revolvers ; the latter being kept loaded. The crew are about 200 in num ber, of whom a very considerable proportion are Irish and Irish-American, and there are also a few English and Dutch, During Saturday afternoon the public were freely admitted on board, and were received by all with the utmost courtesy. The ves sel will remain four or five days for the purpose of doing some repairs. The Tuscarora is stated to be in these waters for the purpose of watching, and if possible capturing, a large steamer lately built by Messrs. Laird and Co., and supposed to be intended for the service of the Confederate States. This vessel, called " No. 290," sailed from the Mersey within the last few days, and the Tuscarora, then in Southampton, weighed, and gave chase to her, but the object of pursuit escaped through the north channel, Another steamer, which sailed on the same day from Plymouth, called the Merrimac, and supposed to have guns and cargo intended for Confederate use on board, was also an object of pursuit by the Tuscarora. The latter vessel was in Holyhead and Queenstown previous to her arrival here, and she was warned to leave both ports within 24 hours. She will not be allowed to coal here without special permission. The public will be admitted on board the Tuscarora this day. Saunders's News _Letter. There is nothing in all this but what was to be expected after so sudden a transition from one to another Government, and from what remained of the evil effects of the former sy stem ; yet all these are facts which make the position of the Govern ment in face of the agitation extremely difficult. They may reckon on ninety-nine out of a hundred against the reaction; against a movement headed by Garibaldi the proportion would be very different. How deep the feeling for their liberator still is appears in the most trivial circumstances—for in stance, the effect produced whenever tile Garibaldi March is played. Every itinerant band thinks it its duty to begin and en.l with it, and is sure to earn applause, however bad the performance be. There is another feature which complicates mat ters, and this is that the masses are convinced that the apparent dissension between the King and Cali baldi is merely the revival of the old game of MO, and this suspicion is strongly spread in the army too. For instance, the regiments of the Reggio Brigade which left Turin for Sicily openly expressed this belief. There are 2,000 Garibaldian officers distributed in the army, who will never be per suaded that their duty could call them to act against their old captain. Finally, the youth of the last two conscriptions have their share of the spirit which impels so many young men to enlist for another campaign without even troubling them selves with the inquiry where they are to go; such is the blind faith which they put in Garibaldi. The movement, which is as yet in its infancy at Naples, carries away everything and everybody in Sicily. Even Messina, which has less of the African blood, is in a fever of expectation at the arrival of Garibaldi, and shows a spirit which it would be diffi cult to check by force. Yesterday the proclama tion of the King was torn down wherever it was posted up, and this morning the Carabinieri had to watch to prevent the thing from being repeated. It is not a question of a Garibaldian party, for every one you speak to is of the same opinion. It is the old worship which has revived, perhaps, more fer vently than ever. If the Northern army assisted in reducing Capua and Gaeta, all that was done in Sicily was to all intents and purposes Garibaldi's own work. The strange thing is, that with all the int( rest which the subject excites, nothing is known either to Government or private individuals of Garibaldi's movements. All that is known is that he left Palermo on Thursday, and that he is on his way to this place by the sea coast. Several articles directed to persons in his suite have already arrived, but when he is to come is not known. From here he is to go to Catania, and thence to continue his round in the island. But these are all on (Zits, for he is essentially the man of impulses who .de cides on his movements according to the inspira tion of the moment. Never was there a greater necessity for both sides to be rightly inspired step in a false direction, and th ere is danger of the work hitherto so successful being checked, or even undone. There can be litt le doubt that the circum stances connected with the Sarnico affair. were such as to destroy the confidence of Garibaldi in th e Government. The K in g alone, it is my firm belief, can once more heal the breach, but it must be do ne soon. There are , as usual, influences on bo th sides which endeavour to widen the breach, but they would sink into the background.

THE IMPERIA LISTS AND THE TAETING We have been permitted to publish the following extract from a private letter from Shanghai, dated June 3. The writer has the best means of informa tion as to what passes among the Chinese "The English and French, ca-operating with Colonel Ward's men, who now number about 3,000, have made several expeditions into the country; before going out the Chinese authorities gave the Admiral to understand that if he would retake cer tain cities Chinese troops would garrison and hold them. Accordingly, Lading and Nandsing were taken ; much ammunition was used up, and very few rebels killed. That done, it became known that there were no Chinese troops to garrison the cap tured towns. Our people held Kading for a while, but General Staveley became alarmed, and fearing that while he and his men were at Kading the rebels would quietly walk into Shanghai, he decided on evacuating the place; accordingly, he last week re turned to Shanghai. " The people here labour under a great delusion. They imagine, from thepagnacious manner in which the Taepings are prowling about Shanghai, and get ting into scrapes with foreigners, that the Taeping cause is increasing in strength, and that, having taken the whole of the rest of China, they now want and must have Shanghai. No such thing; the idea is quite erroneous. The fact is that the Chinese Imperialist troops, put in motion from Hangkow, and operating eastwards down the Yangtze valley, have been so well led that they have carried everything before them. They took Nankin last September; from that they drove the rebels down the river towards Wuhu ; at Wuhu the rebels made a stand, but ten days ago the Itre. perialists retookli r uhu and drove the rebels towards Nankin, A steamer has just now come in. with i\an the kin i n t e lligence that the river in front of swa rms with Imperialist war ju n k s, and that four of the batteries on the bank have been captured Not only have the I mper i alists been to along the Yangtze, takin g t h e towns on v i i t c sb r a i n o k u s s but for a long way i n t o the int er i or on both banks they have driven th e Taepings steadily before them. The Taepings, with the geoxnctehpet. northo n o e a r n frontier n expedi tionary army now fightin of the Fuhkien province, are now hemmed inbe tweenn from Nankin to Ningpo and the sea. Insid e this boundary the country swarms with Taepi ngs, forces but along its edge large Imperialist are marchi ng stea dil y . Th u s, it is no t t h e rebel c ause which is gaining ground. The pug nacity of the Taepings about Shanghai must be accounted for in another way, and that is that in their present position they are hemmed in ; they must either take to the water, stand at bay, or make a dash southwards along the coast line. Now, they object, of course, to go into the water; they are chary of going southward, as the Al lege of mountains that cringe the southern borders of the Chekeang province present great obstacles to a c omfortable march ; their only o th er resou rce is to stand at bay. Their numbers around here arc great, and the men that are here are their best fighting men, who came from the south originally, who have traversed the w h o l e country, a nd fought in every province ; here they all are, hemmed in, and the circuit is daily becoming more circumscribed. They begin to find it no easy task to procure provisions, and thus they are cutting about ferociously in all directions within the limits of the boundary I have indicated. I think they are almost done for; and I believe that in two years more the supporters of 1 the Taeping cause will be extirpated." AMERICAN AFFAIRS. A writer in a contemporary says :—The latest ac counts show that the tide of invasion begins to re cede. The evacuation of Grand Junction by the Federals indicates their intention to fall back from Corinth,—a very necessary step if it be true that a Confederate army was marching on Nashville. Gen. Buell is said to be moving against Chattanoga. It was pointed out some months ago in your columns that this would prove a position of the first impor tance as the war advanced, being the true pivot of defence in the South-West. Now that Charleston and Savannah are free from danger they can send forces by railway to its support, to face those of Gen. Buell, whose operations will be full of danger from the insurrection in his rear. The attack on Vicksburg is finally repulsed in --:----------.•-- spite of gunboats, mortarboats, and canal digging.
