THE WAR IN AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE CITY OF BALTIMORE AND ANGLO-SAXON. LIVERPOOL, THURSDAY. The Liverpool, New York, and Philadelphia Steam-ship Company's screw steamer City of Balti more, Captain Kennedy, which sailed from New York on the 11th inst., and called at Queenstown yesterday, arrived in the Mersey this morning. The Montreal Ocean Steam-ship Company's screw steamer Anglo-Saxon, Capt. Graham, which aailed from Quebec on the 11th, and called at Lon donderry yesterday, also arrived in the Mersey this morning. Summaries of their news, telegraphed from Queenstown and Londonderry respectively, have already been published. The raid of Stuart's Confederate cavalry into Pennsylvania occasioned excitement. The New I ork Herald prefaces the telegrams which follow with such characteristic headings as " Astonishing News—lnvasion of Pennsylvania by Rebels—The Boldest Raid of the Rebels," &c. " Harrisburg, Oct. 10, 7 30 p.m. " Governor Curtin has just received the following despatch from Col. M'Clure, at Chambersburg : " Mercersburg was occupied by Stuart's rebel cavalry to-day, and they are now advancing on Chambersburg. They took horses and all ether property they wanted at Mercersburg, offering rebel scz ip for it. They did no injury to individuals that I heard of. The force is estimated at 3,000. The rebels are certainly advancing on Chambers burg ; they have cut the Bedford wire. They are reported as near as St. Thomas, about seven miles from heie. There is no doubt about their being in Mercersburg ; they will certainly give us a call to night. We had. the rumour at 4 o'clock, but it was not credited. We can make no resistance, as it would only exasperate, and cause the wanton de struction of property and life." " Chambersburg, Oct. 10, 8 p.m. " About 15 men on horseback are in town with carbines and a flag of truce. They want to see the -principal men of the town. They have a large force about one mile from the town, who will enter in an hour. . " Col. M'Clure and Provost Marshal Hummel have just gone two miles from the town to meet the rebel commander. Nothing can be done except to surrender. We look for the whole force in half an hour. They crossed the Potomac at Hancock, and came over the country to Pittsburg Pike. The de posits of the Chambersburg Bank have not been re turned from New York since the late raid." " Harrisburg, Oct. 10, 10 p.m. " Despatches just received from Shippensburg confirm the news of the occupation of Chambers burg. The advance rebel force consists of 1,000 cavalry and six pieces of artillery. Governor Cur tin is now pushing troops up the valley." In regard to the fighting at Perrysville, Ken tucky, we have the following : " Perrysville, Kentucky, Oct. 8. " Bragg's army attacked two divisions of General M'Cook's corps d'armee near this place yesterday. The fighting was desperate. Gen. James S. Jack son, ex-Congress man of Kentucky, commanding a division, was killed. Gen. Terrell, of Virginia, com manding a brigade, formerly of Terrell's battery, was very severely wounded. On two occasions the fighting was hand to hand. The Confederates were greatly superior to the Federals in number. M'Cook was then heavily reinforced by Federals, and the battle was resumed. To-day the fighting was mainly done by Rosecranz's, formerly Mitchell's. General G. Webster, of the 9th Ohio, was severely wounded. The firing ceased about 7 o'clock on the evening of the Bth. A doubtful rumour says that at the close of the engagement the rebels had pos session of a part of the field. " LATER.—Gen. Sheridan, of Illinois, is reported killed, but it is doubtful. Our loss is stated at 2,000 killed and wounded. The rebel loss was not ascer tained. The enemy is north of Perrysville. A gene ral attack is expected immediately by our troops." " Louisville, Oct. 9. " The battle at Perrysville commenced yesterday morning, the rebels attacking Buell's advance in great force. " An artillery fight continued through most of the day, with no great results. " Later in the day Buell's forces, having secured a good position, advanced and drove the rebels back. " It is reported at Gen. Boyle's headquarters that Generals Rousseau and Jackson, commanding the Federal divisions, were killed, but the report is not credited. Buell intended last night to advance and bring on a general engagement this morning. The result of this is not known. "General Dumont's success over Morgan and Scott at Frankfort is fully confirmed. Morgan en tered Frankfort yesterday forenoon with his own and Scott's cavalry, 3,000 strong, meeting no opposition. This morning Dumont moved on them from Shelbyville, and at noon had routed them. The rebels are said to be dispersed, wandering among the adjacent hills, endeavouring to avoid Dumont's . pursuing forces. If not all captured the command will be completely broken up. The rebels destroyed the turnpike bridge before they were attacked." " Louisville, Oct. 10. There are various rumours circulating relative to the great fight which took place yesterday (Thurs day), which was said to be favourable to the Union side, but they can be traced to no authentic source, and head-quarters at 11 o'clock this (Friday) morn ing have received no authentic advices from the battle-field later than Wednesday evening. Our force in that fight was about 15,000 infantry, as sisted by eight battalions of infantry, and 2,500 cavalry, but this force was reinforced towards the close of the fight. " The rebel force has not been estimated. " Among the casualties at Perrysville on Wed nesday are the following :—General Jackson, killed; General Terrell, killed ; Acting-Brigadier General Webster, killed ; Acting Brigadier-General Lytle, killed ; Lieut.-Colonel Jewett, killed ; Major Camp bell, of the 15th Kentucky Cavalry, killed ; Col. Pope, of the same regiment, wounded. There is no information of the death of General Sheridan. Gen. Rousseau is reported slightly wounded. Colonel Woodford, of the Ist Kentucky Cavalry, after mak ing five charges, took two Kentucky batteries, and the enemy, after very hard fighting, were driven back some eight miles. " The foregoing relates to Wednesday's fight. No accounts have yet been received of the losses on either side; but ours is supposed to be large, from the mortality among field officers." Another Louisville despatch says : " After a short but terrific fight the rebels broke and retreated rapidly over three diverging roads southward, our forces in close pursuit. It is hoped that the lot will be bagged. At the last accounts G(n. Gilbert's forces were in the rear of the rebels, and some distance below them. Military exigencies re q ui re the suppression of details. No further ac count of leases on either side have been received." " Cincinnati, Oct. 16. "Latter intelligence from Buell's army is very en couraging, Gen.Buell's forces drove Gen. Bragg's nearly 10 mil es on Thursday, with great slaughter. " The rebels are retreating in disorder, and our forces are following closely pursuit. Gen. Buell has his forces well in han in Fuller details of the battle near Corinth have been received : aOn the morning of the 3d inst.ga,gerne " say th N -ea t Fork World, " our outposts were e ew attacked by the e nemy in force, about six m il es north rinth, and before 9 o'clock the en b e came al and a sanguinary b a ttl e generwas fought. , 1 hongli our men fought with great bravery and de termination the y were compelled to fall ba c k h e _ r numbers of the t, fore the ,uper.o enemy , vi- foot . that be gained.

Fire was opened at once, and the regiment fell slowly back to our works. The latter opened on 1 the rebels, who d es pit e th e rap id this fling of their ranks, charged the works, broke our lines of in fantry, and captured a small fortification. They entered the streets of Corinth, but were checked by the fire from new batteries, and were forced to fall back. Thus the day was saved. The enemy lost, it is said, at least 20 to our one in the charge. Their force numbered about 50,000 men." The following is M'Clellan's general order thank ing the army of the Potomac : " GENERAL ORDER No. 160. " Head-quarters Army of the Potomac, Camp near Sharpsburg, Oct. 3. " The commanding general extends his congratu tions to the army under his command for the victo ries achieved by their bravery at the passes of the South Mountain and upon the Antietam Creek. The brilliant conduct of Reno's and Hooker's corps, under Burnside, at Turner's Gap, and of Franklin's 1 corps at Crampton Pass, in which, in the face of an enemy strong in position, and resisting with obsti nacy, they carried the mountain and prepared the way for the advance of the army, won for them the admiration of their brethren in arms. In the memo rable battle of the Antietam we defeated a nume rous and powerful army of the enemy in an action desperately fought and remarkable for its duration, and for the destruction of life which attended it. The obstinate bravery of the troops of Hooker, Mansfield, and Sumner ; the dashing gallantry of those of Franklin on the right ; the steady valour of those of Burnside on the left, and the vigorous support of Porter and Pleasanton, present a brilliant spectacle to our countrymen, which will swell their hearts with pride and exultation. Fourteen guns, 39 colours, 15,500 stand of arms, and nearly 6,000 priseners, taken from the enemy, are evidence of the completeness of our triumph. A grateful coun try will thank this noble army for achievements which have rescued the loyal States of the East from the ravages of the invader, and have driven him from their borders. While rejoicing at the victories which, under God's blessing, have crowned our exertions, who have laid down their lives upon the battle-field, martyrs in their country's cause. Their names will ever be enshrined in the hearts of the people.—By command of Major-Gen. M'Ciellan, " SETH WILLIAMS, Assistant-Adjutant-General." According to the New York limes the Federal forces on the Potomac now number nearly a quar ter of a million, and it wants to know what they are waiting for. It believes the army is stronger now than it will be in the spring, even if conscrip tion is resorted to, and shows the necessity for an immediate attack. A fleet of mortar vessels and gun boats had left Pensacola for Galveston, with a view it was sup posed of attacking that place. A despatch to the Bichmond Dzspatch, dated Savannah, the 4th, states that the Federals attacked the Confederate batteries on the Ist, and after two hours' fighting were repulsed. They subsequently landed in force at Grenville Point, and marched to the rear of the battery, where a fight commenced, of the result of which no information had ken received. General M'Clellan was in Philadelphia on the night of the 9th on private business, but returned to his headquarters on the following morning. Returned prisoners from Richmond make more favourable reports of the state of affairs in that city. It is stated, among other things, that "there appeared to be abundance of salt, flour, fresh beef, and shoes among the soldiers. Good discipline pre vailed among the rebel troops. They treated each other with great kindness and courtesy. No whisky, no drinking or card playing was allowed among them. Much comment is made by the rebel troops as to the careless manner in which our dead were buried on the plains of Manassas. All the rebel soldiers denounced Gen. Pope, but speak in most complimentary terms of Gen. M'Clellan. The coun try districts are exhausted of food for man or beast, and in consequenee apprehensions exist of great distress among the people during the coming win ' ter. Everybody has plenty of paper money of all descriptions. The treatment of the Federal pri soners has been changed for the better., The rebel troops are rapidly receiving their new uniforms, consisting of dark grey woollen jackets and light blue pants; and they say there is no lack of arms, and that they have more cannon than can be used. The general impression among them is that the war will not end until the expiration of President Lincoln's term of office. Everybody, however, is sick of hostilities, and the soldiers desire to return home, yet one constantly hears the remark, ' You may exterminate us, but you cannot subjugate us.' The new Merrimac is not finished yet. Eight dollars a bushel was asked for sweet potatoes. Rye, coffee, and sugar brought one dollar a pound each. There was little or no molasses for sale. Tin drink ing cups sold for 25c. each, and all other necessaries in proportion." The Confederate Congress was considering a bill to tax the people 20 per cent. on the gross income of each person, in return for which they are to receive Government Eight per Cent. Bonds. That body has postponed an adjournment until Oct, 13. The excitement attendant on the approaching state elections evinced increasing discord and bit terness. The Republicans of New York City had held a great meeting to ratify the nomination of General Waddworth as their candidate for go vernor. The speakers thoroughly approved the proceeding of the Lincoln administration, even in the matter of arbitrary arrests. The New York World says of the meeting : " The Emancipationists' ratification meeting at the Cooper Institute last evening was a remarkable gathering in every respect. A crowd assembled to hear the Hon, Edward Everett, who was announced to speak, but who, of course, did not, as it is to be presumed that he disapproves of the emancipation proclamation in toto. Instead of the accomplished Massachusetts statesman, the audience were put off with an eccentric old gentleman, who not many years since bitterly regretted in a public speech that he was not born in Virginia. His performance last evening was a very sharp personal attack on Hon. Horatio Seymour. H on. Lyman Tremaine favoured the audience with a second edition of the lateespeech. The n o t eworthy part of this meeting is Albany the hearty endorse ment b y the speakers, mi the audience, and the resolutions, of the recent arbitrary arrests of the administration. Liberty of speech and of the press were scoffed at, and it was evidently considered that white men had no rights which Government were board to respect. It is yet to be seen whether this is also th e opinion which the people will expres s b y thei r votes next November." At the Democratic State Convention of Massa chusetts resolutions were read urging the President to stand by the constitution ; repudiating the meeting of the governors; eulogising General M'Clellan ; regretting that the President had issued an emancipation order and suspended the writ of habeas corpus, and calling on him to grant free speech and free press. The motion to adopt the people's ticket, nominated at Faneuil Hall, was dis cussed with warmth, but not decided. The conven tion adjourned in great confusion, without either adopting the resolutions or nominating a state ticket. The Baltimore election proceeded quietly on the Bth. General Wool had a squadron of cavalry ready and a small force of infantry, to be called upon in case of need. The Union candidate for mayor, I. L. Chapman. was elected by a vote of 7,694 over Frederick Fick, independent. Electioneering meetings were of nightly occur rence in New York. At one of them held at the Democratic headquarters, Richard O'Gorman deli vered eloquent speech to an audience that filled y th eT e " h and : 4 11 to overflowing. He took strong grounds tick : . the last two proclamations of the President, ; were constitutionabl The election s Illinois, advocated the election of the Democratic state and Iyolivibjee:::4 we ef : e Democratic gathering speeches Daly and others, claiming in Y pe o li r white men. n.sylvania, Ohio, Indiana, t° take place on the 14th inst. ; but in New York and other States they do not come off till the beginning of November. The Washington correspondent of the New York World writes : " An important cabinet meeting was held to day, and the q uidnunc., are unusually wild about the hotels to-night in speculating on its causes and pro bable results. In one quarter the rumour of the retirement of Secretary Stanton and Postmaster- General Blair gained considerable credence. If there is any truth in either of these rumours the foundation of each must be on distinct and different grounds; for while the former was a warm advocate of the emancipation proclamation, the latter is said to have been the most surprised person in Washington on being told it was to be issued. In fact several Radical Northern post masters were about to be supplanted by those of more Conservative tendencies when this document appeared, thus completely reversing the general standard of what was then the President's creed. Notwithstanding the incongruous elements now composing the administration, it may safely be an ticipated that harmony will come out of disorder, and that the cabinet will retain its present status for some time to come at least." The Washington Star says " that General Banks will succeed to the Secretaryship of War; that General Halleck returns to his old command in the West ; that the command of M'Clellan's army will be given to General Hooker, and that General M'Clellan will succeed General Halleck at Wash ington. A Washington telegram of the Bth, says : " Senator's Pomeroy's negro colonisation enter prise is temporarily suspended. An energetic pro test of Minister Molina, of Costa Rica, has resulted in an assurance from Secretary Seward that Senator Pomeroy's expedition shall not seek any point likely to give offence to any foreign power. The misapprehension seems to prevail that the Govern ment intends to exercise some political authority over the colony planted under the provisions of the late act of Congress. Such, however, is not the case; nor will any locality be selected likely to cause offence to any friendly nation. The suspen sion of the expedition is believed to be only tem porary, and will not prevent its taking place this fall." The following despatches contain the Confederate version of the recent battles in Maryland : " Head-quarters, Army of Northern Virginia, Camp on Washington River, Oct. 2. " General,—The enemy's cavalry, under General Pleasanton, with six pieces of artillery, drove back our pickets yesterday in front of Shepherdstown. The 9th Virginia Cavalry, which was on picl et, re pulsed the enemy several times by vigorous charges, disputing the ground step by step back to the main body. By the time his artillery reached him, Col. N. F. H. Lee, who was in command of the brigade, was obliged to place it on the west bank of the Opequon, on the flank of the enemy, as he ap proached Martinsburg. _ " General Hampton's brigade had retired through Martinsburg, on the Tuscarora-road, when General Stuart arrived, and made dispositions to attack. Lee's brigade was advanced immediately, and Hampton's ordered forward. The enemy retired at the approach of Lee along the Shepherdstown road, and was driven across the Potomac by the cavalry, with severe loss, and darkness alone pre vented it from being a signal victory. His rear was overtaken and put to flight, our cavalry charg ing in gallant style under a severe fire artillery, driving squadron after squadron, killing a number, wounding more, and capturing several. He was driven through Shepherdsto wn, and crossed the river after dark, in no case standing a hand to hand conflict, but relying upon his artillery and carbines at long range for protection. " I regret to add that we lost one lieutenant and several privatm " I am most respectfully, &c., " R. E. LEE, General Commanding. "Official—CHAßLES MARSHALL, Major and A.D.C. " General S. Cooper, Adjutant and Inspector General, C.H.A., Richmond, Va.' , " GENERAL ORDERS—No. 116. " Head-quarters, Army of Northern Virginia, October 2. "In reviewing the achievements of the army during the present campaign the commanding general cannot withhold the expression of his ad miration of the indomitable courage it has displayed in battle and its cheerful endurance of privation and hardship on the march. " Since your great victories around Richmond you hare defeated the enemy at Cedar illountain, ex pelled him from the Rappahannock, and after a con flict of three days, utterly repulsed him on the plains of Manassas, and forced him to take shelter within the fortifications around his capital. " Without halting for repose you crossed the Potomac, stormed the heights of Harper's Ferry, made prisoners of more than 11,000 men, and cap tured upwards of 70 pieces of artillery, all their small arms and other munitions of war. " While one corps of the army was thus engaged the other ensured its success by arresting at Boons borough the combined armies of the enemy, advanc ing under their favourite general to the relief of their beleagured comrades. " On the field of Sharpsburg, with less than one third his numbers, you resisted from daylight until dark the whole army of the enemy, and repulsed every attack along his entire front of more than four miles in extent. " The whole of the following day you stood pre pared to resume the conflict on the same ground, and retired next morning, without molestation, across the Potomac. " Two attempts subsequently made by the enemy to follow you across the river have resulted in his complete discomfiture and being driven back with loss. " Achievements such as these demanded much valour and patriotism. History records few exam ples of greater fortitude and endurance than this army has exhibited ; and I am commissioned by the President to thank you in the name of the Confe derate States for the undying fame you have won for their arms. " Much as you have done, much more remains to be accomplished. The enemy again threatens us with invasion, and to your tried valour and patriotism the country looks with confidence for deliverance and safety ; your past exploits give assurance that this confidence is not misplaced. " R. E. LEE, General Commanding." Southern papers state that the yellow fever was raging at Galveston. Nassau papers announce the arrival on the 2d of the steamer Leopard, from Charleston, South Caro lina, with a cargo of cotton, rice, &c. The Leopard reports that soon after leaving Charleston firing was heard, which is supposed to have been directed toward the steamer Hero. This vessel was expected to leave about the same time. Her fate is not yet known. The British schooner Nellie, a prize to the gunboat Alabama, had arrived at Philadelphia. CANADA: The Canadian news is unimportant. The Gover nor-General arrived at Montreal on the 9th, and would remain there some days, during which a grand review of the troops and volunteers was to take place.

THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER, 24, 1862. TEE FRENCH PRESS AND THE CIRCU LAR OF DROUYN DE LHUYS. The Constitutionnel expresses itself in these terms : " The document is short and clear. On the Roman question it refers to the Emperor's letter as the true expression of the principles of the Government. There is consequently no change in the Imperial policy. The Emperor's Govern ment will continue the work of conciliation which it persist in its efforts has without undertaken discouragement in The clearness of this language lenders comment un necessary, and completely justifies the opinions we have expressed." The following is from the Palm : " The letter addressed by the Emperor to M. Thouvenel, and M. Drouyn de Lhuys' circular, which has just been published, fully justify, our readers will admit, our latest observations upon the exaggerated interpretations of certain journals with reference to the nomination of the new Minister of Foreign Affairs. So long as no Imperial declara tion, we said, shall have shown that the French policy traced out by the letter of May 20 has been modified, we shall only look upon the retirement of M. Thouvenel as an incident which justifies neither the discouragement of the friends of Italy, nor the hopes of her adversaries. The situation is there fore now clearly established. Two ineffectual at tempts made at Rome have produced neither dis couragement' nor impatience.' The Emperor re sumes the work which he has undertaken for the satisfaction of the rights of Italy and the interests of the Papacy. He now takes it up again with the hope of completing it, and until the day in which that hope shall be entirely abandoned he will pur sue its realisation, without giving way to any in citement, and without deviating from his line of conduct. Italy should less than any one regret this delay in the accomplishment of her political desti nies. The time which elapses strengthens the con quests realised during the last three years by the principle of unity. It is in vain that the reactionists endeavour to shake the edifice of which the founda tion was laid by France at Solferino. On the day in which the crowning of that edifice shall be ob tained, nothing will be able to menace it; neither vanquished ambitions nor interests, which are now spared." The language of the Pays runs thus : "This diplomatic docament confines itself to re calling the general principles by which the Imperial policy has so far been inspired in the Roman ques tion, and of which the realisation is about to be pursued as before without discouragement as with out impatience.' The object of that line of conduct is the conciliation of the two opposite interests which are contending in Italy. M. Drouyn de Lhuys devoted himself to that task in the very same terms in which it was set forth by the Emperor's letter of the 20th of May last. As to the means to be followed to arrive at so desirable an arrangement the circular of the Minister of Foreign Affairs says nothing. We understand that reserve, for we know well that as a General must not make public his plan of campaign, in the same manner a diplomatist must not reveal the secret of his negotiations." The 2emps makes the following comment, which is not altogether so sanguine of success as those of some of its contemporaries : " There is little to be said of this circular. It justifies the policy which the _France has sustained from its commencement to the dismissal of M. Thou venel, and to.which the Constitutionnel appears to have rallied since the accession of M. Drouyn de Lhuys. The France, as we have already observed, has now advanced another step, and at present, as if the Empire was not based upon universal suffrage, it purely and simply disregards the right of the Romans,' and openly proclaims that Rome is lost to Italian unity. One more great fact is again shown by the Ministerial circular; it is the im mense importance of the Roman question, which evidently takes the lead of and effaces all others, at least at the present moment, in the occupations of the Government. The new Minister commences by declaring that he desires to enlighten the public mind as to the direction which he shall follow, and after that general declaration he only discourses on Rome as if there was no other foreign question on the order of the day. As to the fresh attempts at conciliation, in which the Government is about to take the initiative, we expect absolutely nothing. The Holy See has laid down the question, and made engagements in such manner as to be able to give way in nothing. France must abandon it to itself, or be with it against Italy. All half measures are illusory." The France is much more laboured in its obser vations, and endeavours to prove, above all, that its own views find an echo in the Minister's cir cular : " The policy of the Emperor's Government is now defined with a clearness which leaves no room for the false interpretations and misconceptions which for a moment misled public opinion. M.,Drouyn de Lhuys, in the important circular just published, declares that this policy is embodied in the thought which inspired the letter of the 20th of May. This memorable letter thus remains the only programme of the pclicy which France will endeavour to realise in Italy, and, according to the Minister's own words, it expresses the Emperor's views, with an autho rity which would only be weakened by comment.' It was, in fact, by adding to the words of the Chief of the State a commentary which they did not jus tify, and by passing over the Imperial programme to dwell more particularly on the despatches of M. Thouvenel and M. de Lavalette, that the sense of this Sovereign manifestation came to be misunder stood by public opinion. When we said, with strict logical inference from the premises, that in the letter of 20th May, and in that alone, the true expression of our policy was to be found, what opposition,neon encountered w m t the wrath , h what contradictions we u revolutionary journals and efhr from wr those which had imprudently joined them for the moment ! The circular of M. de Drouyn de Lhuys now clearly shows who had truth and reason on their side. Whence came our conviction ? Whence the error of our opponents ? Their error arose from the fact that they regarded the check expe rienced by our diplomatic agents in the negotia tions with the Holy See as an abandonment of the traditional policy of France, though again affirmed with so much precision and impartiality in the Em peror's letter. M. Thouvenel and M. de Lavalette had failed in their efforts to induce the Roman Court to accept the views of the Imperial policy. Was that a reason why this policy should be sud denly maified,:deserting at the same time the work of universal interest of which it is at Rome the repre sentative and persevering defender ? Of course it was not. Principles so sacred, so fundamental as those of which France is the organ and protector in Italydo not give way because a diplomatic check, due, perhaps, to accidental causes, and perhaps retrievable to morrow, may have temporarily delayed their triumph." The Monde does not speak out very plainly, but it avails itself of the opportunity to affirm that no sympathy whatever is felt in France for the Italian cause, except among writers for the public press : " Except among journalists we have found in no i class of the French population any sympathy with the Italian revolution. If an inquiry were made as to the feelings of all Frenchmen, they would be found unanimous (excepting the journalists, of course) in declaring that the Italians cost us a great deal, and bring in but little. Even in the most dis tant provinces it is seen that the Italians pay us in wretched coin, and people do not restrain them selves from saying so." The language of the Union presents a marked contrast to that of the extracts just read, as it as serts that it is quite impossible for any ordinary in tellect to extract a clear and definite meaning from M. Drouyn de Lhuys' words. It says : " Frankly, in the present conjuncture, if the idea is not concealed, it remains, to our eyes at least, singularly veiled. O n cl o sely examining the words and phrases it is felt that the idea is stealing away, and to obt a i n f rom th em an y c learly defined sense, more perspicacity, assure dly, than we can display is necessary. The Minister refers to the Imperial letter of th e 2 0th of May; be i t 30. On that subject our opinio n i s well known, a nature to and y it. the circumstances modify are not of What is also no secret is that that letter has given rise to very dif ferent interpretations, so different, indeed, that the Minister charged with following its application has set about it in such a manner as to be obliged to retire. What will be the interpretation of his successor ? Of course it will not be the Eame. Consequently the sort of ultimatum, in the form of threats, which was contained in the de spatch of the 30th of May has fallen to the ground. That is so much gained ; but what next ? Are fresh combinations about to be attempted! We defy the cleverest commentator to discover from the tenour of the circular of the Minister of Foreig❑ Affairs." After dwelling on the point at some length, the Union terminates in these words : " Let us, then, sum up as well as we can the balance-sheet of the situaticn. With M. Thou7e nel it was to be feared that Piedmont might believe herself about to go to Rome; with M. Drouyn de Lhuys that fear seems to be removed, or at least adjourned. That is something; but it is a nega tive result. Much more is needed to arrive so far as to render the Pope master at home,' and Italy free, in a confederation of her princes and popula tions." 2 HE NAVY. An officer on board H.M.S. Black Prince, in de scribing her passage out, says, in a letter dated the Bth inst.:—" We left Portland on the morning of the Ist; on that and the two following days we were knocking about the Channel. On Saturday, the 4th, we encountered a heavy sea, and rolled considerably, but the weather was fine. This morn ing before breakfast our ship passed Belem Castle, at the entrance of the Tagus, and a little before 9 we anchored off the city of Lisbon. Early next week we proceed to Gibraltar, where we shall probably remain. Our ship answers remarkably well. It was thought these ships were useless as sailors, but we did 71 knots under canvass alone. The Warrior beats us steaming, but it is doubtless owing to our armour plating being thicker, giving an increased weight of between 300 and 400 tons." The screw steam frigate Liverpool, 51, at Devon port, was masted on Tuesday. The ships of war on the Australian station at the date of the late advices were the Fawn, 17, Capt. Cayter, on a cruise; the Harrier, 17, Capt. Sir M. M'Gregor, at New Zealand; the Miranda, 14, Capt. Jenkins, on a cruise to the Feejees ; the Pioneer, 6, Capt. Reilly, at Sydney ; and the Orpheus,2l ; Com modore Burnett, at Sydney. The Orpheus and Pio neer have been undergoing an extensive course of repairs, and the latter was expected to leave shortly with the Commodore for the purpose of opening a settlement at Cape York, The Barossa, 21, screw steam corvette, 1,700 tons, 400 horse power, Capt. Wm. M. Dowell, was again taken out to the measured mile off Maplin Sands on Monday last, on trial of her machinery, after hav ing had the internal arrangement of her steam-pipes altered. The result of the trial was very satisfac tory, considering the heavy gale which was blow ing at the time, the force of wind being from 7 to 8. The results attained were—Average speed per hour, 10 knots ; revolutions, 12 ; pressure of steam, 18 ; and vacuum, 24. After the trial the vessel was taken to the Little Nore, and next day was inspected by Vice-Admiral W. J. Hope Johnstone and staff. The gallant Admiral made a minute examination of the state of the ves sel, and put the crew through their various evola tions. He expressed himself highly gratified with the ship's serviceable condition. The Barrosa was to have left Sheerness the next day, but owing to the extreme roughness of the weather orders were given for her to remain. She left, however, yester day morning for Devonport, en route for her desti nation, which it is rumoured will be the Cape of Good Hope instead of China, as was originally in tended. Positive information relative to her desti nation will not be obtained until her arrival at Davonport. The Rosario, 11, screw steam sloop, 673 tons, 150- horse-power, Commander James S. Graham, which has been employed during the summer in the pro tection of the Scotch fisheries, and has since been refitted at Sheerness for the West Indies, is still in the harbour. Orders were received for her depar ture on Tuesday last, but in consequence of her having run foul of the Pembroke, 60, Coastguard vessel, while dragging her anchor during the gale of Sunday night, by which she carried away her jib-boom and received other slight damage, it will be some days before she is ready for sea. The Terrible, 21, paddlewheel frigate, 1,850 tons, 800-horse power, is now in No. 2 dock in Sheerness yard, undergoing extensive repairs to her hull, which it will take upwards of 12 months to com plete. She will then ship new boilers, her old ones having proved so defective that they have been broken up. The engines are in the hands of the engineering department of the yard, also under going thorough repair. When completed, there is little doubt that she will soon be placed again in commission, as she is considered the finest paddle wheel frigate of her class in her Majesty's navy. The Vigilant, 4, screw steam gunvessel, 650 tons, 200-horse power, Commander the Right Hon. W. B. Lord Elphinstone,arrived at Sheerness on Thurs day morning from Scotland, where she has been employed during the summer in the protection of the fisheries. On her passage to Sheerness she ran ashore on the Gunfleet, in the gale of wind on Wednesday morning ; she remained aground till the following tide, when she again floated and pro ceeded to the Nore, where she anchored for the night. She will be taken into dock to be overhauled to ascertain what damage has been sustained. It was intended that the Vigilant should be refitted for fo reign service, and she will doubtless be so, if the damage sustained is not very great. Yesterday morning another numerous party of convicts arrived at Chatham from the metropolitan convict establishments, to be employed on the pub lic works in progress at the dockyard and other places. 71IE ARMY. The 2d battalion 20th Regiment was inspected by Major-Gen. Lord W. Paulet, C. 8., commanding the south-west district, in the barrack-square, Anglesea, barracks, on Tuesday last. He expressed the highest satisfaction with the manner in which the men per formed their evolutions in the field and the general appearance of the regiment. He considered that the utmost zeal must have been shown by all ranks, from Col. Radcliffe down to the men of this young battalion, to bring it to the state of efficiency in which he found it. A notification has been received at Chatham gar rison from the Horse Guards, that slides and dia grams to illustrate lectures will be issaed for the use of the troops at the following foreign stations— Montreal, Quebec, Halifax, Fredricton, Bermuda, Jamaica, Barbadoes, the Cape, the Mauritius, Cey lon, Australia, Gibraltar, Malta, Corfu, Hongkong, New Zealand, and St. Helena. Those forwarded to Ceylon are to circulate from Colombo to the follow ing stations—Newera, Ellia, Kandy, Trincomalee, and Galle. Those sent to Montreal are to circulate, in order to Kingston, Toronto, Hamilton, and Lon don. The slides at present at Malta and Ceylon are to be exchanged as often as convenient. In addition to the slides and diagrams, apparatus for lectures on chemistry, electricity, and magnetism have been supplied to the following corps and stations at home and abroad, viz., Aldershot, Shorncliffe, Colchester, Parkhurst, Grenadier Guards, 2d Life Guards, Ist battalion Coldstream Guards, the Currah, Parsons town, the Cape, and New Zealand. In order that the several lecturers may have the means of obtain ing the information necessary for delivering the va rious lectures, the Duke of Cambridge has autho rised the issue of suitable text books, which will be supplied to the libraries at the various stations which do not already possess them. The party of the Royal Engineers selected to be employed on the surveying operations at Portsdown hill left headquarters, Chatham, yesterday. The introduction of the new military cooking ap paratus for the use of the troops of the line quar tered in Ch a tham barracks- - a description of which has already appeared in The Sun—has bean at tended with such complete success that the autho rities have decided on erecting a similar apparatus at Brompton barracks, for the Royal Artillery, Royal Engineers, and the other troops stationed there. The chief advantage obtained in the new I cooking range is, its great economy of fuel as corn- I pared with the old description of stoves, 61b. of fuel being amply sufficient for one cooking. The apparatus consists of eight boilers of steel, the plates of which they are composed being 11 inch in thick ness, all the boilers being fixed in one range. In addition to the saving of fuel another advantage is obtained by the use of the new cooking range, which dresses the food for the troops in a mode cleaner and better than was obtainable under the old system. A party of men from the Royal En gineers' barracks at Brompton are to attend at Chatham barracks, where the new cooking stoves are in full operation, to be instructed in the method of using them. 7HE FEARFUL, PIT ACCIDENT NEAR WOLVERHAMPTON, Yesterday the inquest was concluded upon the four men who were kiii i t?d at the pit shaft at the New Priestfield Cciliery, at Portobello, near Wol verhampton, last Friday. The first witness called was Thomas Gough, the butty of the pit at which the accident happened. He said that while near the bottom of the shaft, he felt an unusual rush of wind, and found four men lying dead by the side of a massive " bow," or draw ing slip, which had one of its rings broken and the others much bent. The " tackle" from which the men were thrown, after ascending to the top, again came down, and the deceased were then conveyed to the top. The " bonnet," or circular plate iron awning to prevent anything from alighting upon the men who are coming up the shaft, was foLind to be slightly bent on one side, and the tackle was bent in several places. Witness considered the ap paratus to be in a perfectly safe condition. There were usually two skips on the pit bank, a spare and a drawing one. The banksman's duties were to do everything necessary for the safety of the ascending men. When the latter are about to ascend a signal is given to the banksman, and he should then have the skip on a particular line of rails, vs hich, from their curvature, would render the blowing of the skip over the brink of the shaft rather difficult. In this instance the skip was on a line of rails direct for the brink, in which position it was not safe to be left. About two hours before the accident witness had seen the skip on the dan gerous line of rails, and had cautioned the banks man respecting its position. After this caution another skip must have been again placed in the same position. Evan Edwards, who escaped with a slight bruise when his companion was hurled to the bottom, said that before coming up the usual signal was given to the banksman. When about half-way up a rumbling noise was heard, upon which one of the men exclaimed, " The skip is coming ! " and they then all crowded together under the " bonnet." I❑ an instant the "bonnet" was knocked on one side, and the witness supposed the four men were thrown out. Witness escaped by clinging to the tackle chains, and could recollect scarcely anything that took place. The pit was considered to be carefully worked. The ground bailiff stated that the skip should never be placed on the direct line of rails except when the waggon or covering was over the mouth of the pit. If the skip were placed on the curved line it could not blow into the pit, and even on that line a caution had been given not to place it too near. Thomas Taylor, who had made inquiries of the banksman, said the latter had stated that while standing near the mouth of the shaft, a sudden gust of wind propelled the skip, which was " scotched' with a small stone, over the brink. An effort was made to push the waggon over the mouth of the pit, and thus prevent the descent, but it proved fruitless. At this stage, as the banksman wished to have a witness called who had seen the occurrence, the inquiry was adjourned till the following day. 7HE FATAL FIRE AT THE MARYLEBONE ALIIISHOU,S'ES. Yesterday Dr. Lankester, the coroner, held an inquest at the Buffalo Head, Marylebone-road, tauching the death of Martha Smythe, aged 85, an inmate of the St. Marylebone Almshouses, St. John's Wood-terrace. The evidence elicited from another inmate, and the superintendent of the charity, went to show that between the hours of three and four a.m., on Tues day last, they were aroused by a noise as of some one stirring about in deceased's room, and the in mate, on opening the door of her own bedroom, discovered the presence of fire, and raised an alarm. After some time had elapsed the assistance of the police was obtained, and a ladder was placed against the window of the deceased's room to rescue her, but this plan was frustrated by the flames which began to issue from thence to the outside of the building. Police-constable 60 S arrived on the spot about twenty-five minutes to five, and at once sent off a man (a civilian) for the Baker-street fire-engine. Mr. Staples, the fire-brigade engineer, deposed in effect that no message was received until twenty four minutes past five. Previously, however, the engines from Wells-street and King-street were out searching for the fire, and finally found it at the almshouses. All the fire-brigade engines were on the ground and got to work about thirty minutes past five. When the fire was extinguished the dead body of the deceased was found lying on the floor, much burnt. Verdict, " Accidental death." EXTRAORDINARY DEATH OF A YOUNG WUHAN AT BLAUFRIARS. An inquiry was held by Mr. H. Raffles Walthew, the deputy-coroner, at the George and Dragcn Tavern, High-street, Shadwell, on Wednesday evening, respecting the death of Hannah Brooks, aged 18 years, who lost her life at Paul's Wharf pier, on Friday week, under the following circum stances . _ _ Mrs. Hannah Brooks, Bridge-street, Biackfriars, said that deceased was her daughter, and for the last twelve months had lived with John Archer, a lighterman's apprentice, as his wife. They lived happily until three months ago, when Archer be came jealous of her. It appeared that deceased met a young man named Sandford, and a girl named Elizabeth Legge. Sandford invited her to take a glass of ale, and while she was partaking of it she saw Archer looking at her through the window in a manner which caused her to become dreadfully alarmed. She ran home to No. 134, Broadwall, Blackfriars-road. Archer followed her, and said to her three times. "Is that you ?" He then knocked her down and beat her cruelly. She got up and ran out, as she afterwards said, to make away with herself, but her landlord, Mr. Farlan, followed and prevented her. Archer said that he was determined to have no more to do with her, and that she should either go into service or to the workhouse. About a fortnight before her death he beat her during the night on board the barge on the river. On last Friday week deceased came to witness and said that she had procured continuous employment which would enable her to separate from Archer, and so end her misery, and that she saw her wayto be happy again. It was then 10 o'clock at night; witness saw her no more. The next morning Archer called upon witness, and said that at 12 o'clock on the previous night deceased had drowned herself at St. Paul's-wharf-pier. He stated that she asked to go on board the barge he WAS minding, and that he refused, as the barge was not his. She then got over the iron gates at the pier, and said, "You shall see me no more." She looked up and down the river, and then ran along the dummy barge, stooped under the chain, and plunged into the water. He jumped in after her, and she caught him by the coat. He swam with his right hand, but finding that she was being sucked under the barge, he was obliged to let her go. Witness received information the same afternoon that a boy had seen Archer beat deceased on the wharf in the middle of the night in question, and that she reproached him for the black eyes and other injuries ha had inflicted on her on previous occasions. Quarrelling and cries were heard. Wit ness stated that deceased had been compelled by injuries received through Archer's kicking her to wear a truss ; but that she was so devoted to him that, when witness endeavoured to get her t o part from him, she said that the injuries arose only through lifting weights. Wm. Turner said that last Monday morning he r a i-p dn ' ie g r a , v L e o i w nt e o r rna Sh at a i d o w n li found the body of the deceased floati ng i n the river off Qg rof o a t ir th to e body the u Mr. Hann, the coroner's officer. Be ashore, sh W or , hea, Am-ley, a little boy, said that he was a "Jack-in-the-water." (Laughter.) He went of messages &c. Oa last Friday week he was mind. i n g a barge on the river, and he noticed a man anc, a woman come down the pier quarrelling, but be could not hear what they said. She put up her hand M. to protect herself from him, and cal ight his t ,at. He saw no more that was like a blow , tht night hr ding very dark. He saw deceased jump into the we ter. ut ha d not ! By the Jury—Witness had seen b ,poken to Archer before the assembling 0 th( court. Archer was not standing by the side o f d eceased when she jumped in. Archer did not tlt •ow her into the water, or push her in. Archer w. 1E rescued by the captain of a neighbouring barge. at t d said at first that he did not know why she had plun, ged into the water, but afterwards said he hac, can ght her with a young man, and that as he (Arc.ller, ) would not forgive her, she committed suicide. Dr. J. Brown Ross said there were con si , derable marks of violence on the head of deceased. ,Death, however, resulted from immersion in the Nt raters The Coroner said he should adjourn the I - Jowl; for the production of further evidence, and he co utsidered that in the meanwhile the police ought to i nterfere and detain the man. The proceeding's, which were very pro fractal, were then accordingly adjourned. 7HE GREAT ~_DEERFOOT" BUI3BLE EXPLODED. WANDSWORTH COUNTY CODRT.-THURSDAY. HOWITT V. ILARTIA'• This was an action in which the' plaintiff sued in hi s; proper name to recover a sum for wages due. w m , Ilowitt is known in the spor ting world as Jackson, the " American Deer." It aypeared that the defendant, Martin, had engaged the "Deer" to go with the "human circus," as likey to draw from the grs9at name that Jackson had acquired. From the evidence' adduced the speculation was a failure, and whe, , i they came to Peterborough, the " clan" was surnm, lrily dismissed, with a promi se on the part of Mr. Xi ar tin to p a y hereafter, and to make up for all past ,ieficienci es • The plaintiff was ex ~ mined by Mr. Haynes, and many years, and was ent,''a ged by the defendant , said that he had been in the sporti n g tvorld for who had agreed to give him , a certain sum. By the Judge—What is ya,ur name? Plaintiff--I am better know': as Jackson. ' His Honour—l know. You as e generally called the American Deer. Plaintiff —Just so, your honour. The plaintiff then went in: o a minute history of his engagement with Martin, t,'e proprietor of the eireto ; how at Peterborough the business had been so bad that de fendant said he must leoVe the balance till more pros perous times; and this, with only £2 paid out of £4 for one week's salary, made up the claim of £6, for which the famed "Dees'" sought to recover. Mr. G. Martin, the defonda nt, was next examined, and flatly denied that he owed the plaintiff any thing. He did not remember anything, had no me-• morandum of anything, and had he been forced to , bring his papers it would have required a sack to hold them. So far the affair would have ended, but the professional gentlemen elicited that men who could give Deerfoot long starts 'iv - Jere to run in cer tain positions ; that the Inditin we's to win to keep up the excitement; that by a move of his book, pre concerted, Martin, while apparently keeping the rounds, was to give the office whether to go " slower ‘ or faster,' as the case might be. John Brighton, the celebrated runner, and Richd. Lewis, gave their evidence, the latter especially being complimented for his straightforwa rd manner. Their evidence did not, however, in any Nay affect the merits of the case. Mr. Haynes made a powerful address on behalf of his client, the American Leer. His Honour—The affair is altogether illegal, and this exposure ought to open the eyes of the public. Mr. Haynes—l was afraid, and told my client so, that the fact of his agreeing to run second, third, or fourth would act against him. But here is an im plied contract between master and servant; and 1. leave it to your Honour's decision. The Judge (Mr. Frazer) then said—l h,avo heard the statement of Jackson, the plaintiff ; and ,notwith standing the defendant and his witnesses I must believe what the American Deer has said, avd my duty would be to order that the defendant at once pay over the £6 claimed. Here is an agreenlent made by the defendant to run false races, and wen like Jackson are compelled to allow the Indian to win. The Judge (addressing Jackson) —I would at once order the money to be paid to you, which I am cer tain is your due, and much regret that a man of your fame as a pedestrian should lend yourself to such a dishonourable transaction. I will take time to consider the decision I will ultimately give, but all your expenses will be allowed; and should my decision be adverse to your getting the money, you will then have an opportunity of taking it to an other tribunal. I understand, Jackson, that you have been threatened by the defendant, if any one molests you I will commit them for a month, and the officer shall see you safe to the station_ COUN2II} fflA A AS. ,b, MANCHESTER—OCT. 23.

The Queen, who seems not to approve of the present policy, has gone to Coblentz, and the Prince-Royal, not wishing to compromise himself, has departed for Italy. The King nevertheless persists in his determination to earl,' out the reorganisation of the army without the least change, and if Count de Bismark fails in this, recourse will be had to Baron Manteuffel, who is quite ready to return to office."
