Another Federal defeat, is the verdict we must now give upon the evidence before us. The depo sitions of the telegraph on Saturday left little doubt of it, but Northern reports, now before us in detail, confirm our first impressions. The precise object of the Confederates in attacking thus vigorously the left flank of M'CLELLAN under General CASEY, we cannot know, and therefore cannot pronounce on the success of their intentions. But the actual success of their operations, to a certain extent, is quite clear. They quite disorganised by their attack a whole advanced division of the Federa army, and carried off all their guns, nineteen in number. The Northern writers who confess the fact add, that the North " could better afford the loss, than they could afford to have the rebels pro. fit by the gain," What indeed very much enhances the merit of the Confederate achievement is that they had no artillery, while according to the Northern account itself the Confederates advanced to close quarters with the guns which were mowing them down with canister and grape. We read descriptions of the bravery of CASEY'S weak battalions retiring before the foe, but we cannot make out that they were really much the weaker, and supported by their artil lery they ought to have been the stronger. Of this artillery the Confederates in he bravest style re lieved them ; and it being just the thing they wanted they immediately sent the guns and the ammunition on the Saturday evening to Richmond. On the Sunday the Confederates were not strong enough to hold the half mile in which they had captured the guns, and carried off or destroyed CASEY'S tents, baggage, and stores, and after a hard bayonet fight, as it is discribed, the Federals regained their lost ground. The accounts furnished by the North seem to in vent every possible excuse, yet we cannot see tha there is much in them. The tremendous storm, softening the roads, and deluging everything, was as unfavourable to the action of one party as of the other. The repeated statement of the weakness of the advanced regiment only discredits the skill of the General who so exposed it, and enhances that of the Confederates, who availed themselves of it to secure a partial victory, and, what was of such value to them, several batteries of field guns. We can see no extenuation whatever of the errors of gene ralship on one side, nor anything to detract from the skill and bravery of the other, which thus in flicted by surprise such a defeat and a loss to the enemy so profitable to themselves. The numbers of killed and wounded on each side we have learned to regard as facts not to be ascer tained for months— enormous totals frequently dwindling down to insignificance is the usual case. When, however, a Northern correspondent of a Northern paper thinks 3,000 their probable loss in u two days' battle, it ought to be somewhere near the mark. The whole division which was attacked numbered, he says, 2,000 men. If, therefore, that division was not annihilated, which does not at all appear to have been the case, their legs proving most efficient saviours, the loss must have been very severe on the second day, the Sunday. This day's battle was, it must be confessed, the fair trial of strength, and the North proved the stronger but not the braver. The accounts of Southern loss, if correct, would only go to show that the Southerns fought as well as the Northerns ; but that the latter were equipped with far more destructive weapons is incidentally mentioned by the writer of the account of the battle. Altogether we think the battle proves what so many others have proved, that the North is tha stronger, the South the more skilful. Its generalship is almost always better than that of the North. This is, indeed, confirmed by what we now learn from Corinth. That BEAUREGARD had good rea sons for quitting so strong a position is quite cer tain. They may have been the want of supplies, and health of the army ; but that he should have withdrawn every gun in the presence of an enemy within cannon shot of him, and should have left him in utter ignorance of the direction he he has taken is a real marvel. For 60,000 men, at least, to have left no trace on the road they have taken when retreating from the immediate presence of a larger army, is a feat, we should think, almost without parallel. We should not be surprised to hear of BEAUREGARD and his army where he is least expected—on the flank of HALLECK—or at New Orleans—even in Virginia itself, though he he must go a long way round to get there. The workhouses are just a trifle more accessible than Boorioboolagah. The latter region may be all very well for Mrs. JELLABY. We may leave what the brickmaker in Bleak House would call the "Pollpryin g" school of charity to benevolent females I as brazen-eyed as airs. PARDIGGLE. Like the good clergy man fresh from St.Ambiose's Collcgc of whom mention is made in Tom Brown at Oxford as a great and good hand at Ragged Schools, first of all in his beloved Alma Mater, and afterwards, and better still, in the back slums of Westminster—we I may give up as hopelessly as that gentle-hearted and 1 e arnest-minded ecclesiastic the hope of any of the i aalEs Of Belgravia being able to penetrate into those regi ons of squalor and misery just mentioned. We may be drive n to this and other kindred conclusions narrowino. t he ßut au,. of benevolence to English gen tlemen... field vi li h ,ev t en then, there would be left for the gentler sex 1 oyportunities of this kind vviet :•-ii: the Union Workhouses they may be in Search o e f r scattered far and all directions, in every parish, wher ever men and vmmen ~ most do congre gate," throughout the length aud 'workhouses( breadth of the United Kingdom .

The very multitude, this, fitted in a peculiar and especial manner to receive gratefully, from the hands and hearts of English ladies the ministrations he more earnestly philanthropic amongst them may be bent upon distributing whenever they may be happy enough to find a suitable opportunity. Here, in the Workhouses, scattered far and wide all over the land, 2.8 the opportunity ! The very opportunity so many benevolent ladies, old and young, are in search of ! The desired field of their labour of benevolence is thus, actually within their reach. - Weak though the hands of these female philanthropists may be, a harvest especially suited to their powers stands there before th em _ • lip° for the sickle. They T.HZ ;UN 'LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 16, 1862. have but to put the blade in and reap. There, in those workhouses, are the very aged, the very help • less, the suffering in mind and in body, men and women worn out with the moil and toil of their hard lives, tho bed-ridden, the heart-wearied, the ignorant, and the utterly neglected. There are fellow creatures, in fact, without, many of them, a single personal friend, or near relative, or even remote connection, left to them in the wide world. There are those, in effect, who, of ail classes in the community, would be the most grateful for any token of interest that could be shown in their re• gard. This is the very division of society, surely, that the really and practically benevolent among the Women of England have so long, and, in many instances, hitherto so vainly, been in quest of. There is no difficulty in finding its whereabouts. It is ready to hand in each parish. It has there, in each parish, its name and its local habitation. It is that division, each member of which stands upon the lowest rung of the social ladder—the division of the classified and ticketed paupers (men, women , and children) grouped together in our Union Work houses. Very recently there has sprung into existence amongst us a benevolent association of ladies, keep ing especially in view the, hitherto, in a great mea sure, overlooked and forgotten inmates of the Workhouses. It is an association designated in plain words, " The Workhouse Visiting Society." It has its organ as well its organisation : the latter being very simple, but, at the same time, very compre hensive and well considered—the former, a little journal * (price sixpence) published by the the great house of " the Row," the Messrs. LONG MAN and Company. This Workhouse Visiting Society, it should be observed, is in connection with, if it has not actually a recognised branch of, The National Association for the Promotion of Social Science. The President of it, is one of her MA JESTY'S present advisers, a Cabinet Minister who is, moreover, step-son of the First Lord of the Treasury: the Right Hon. W. F. COWPER, that is, the Chief Commissioner of Parks and Palaces. So that, while caring officially for the Parks and the Palaces, Mr. COWPER shows also in this way that he can take an earnest interest in the well-being of the Work houses, and in the promotion of the moral and spiritual improvement of their inhabitants. The laity and the clergy, ladies and gentlemen, lords and commoners, share in the advancement of that last mentioned object—the one great and paramount incentive to the labours of those who co-operate in carrying out the humane design of this most kindly association. The avowed object of the Workhouse Visiting Society is defined as" principally ;threefold." First and foremost its proposal is, " for befriending the destitute and o;phan children in the schools, and after they are placed in situations." Secondly, " for tke instruction and comfort of the sick and afflicted." Thirdly, " for the benefikof the ignorant and depraved, by assisting the officers of the esta blishment in forming classes for instruction in the encouragement of useful occupation during the hours of leisure, or in any other work that may seem to the guardians to be useful and beneficial." Under the first section alone—that relating to the destitute and orphan children there are " room and verge enough"—alas! that such can be avowed thus with only too much reason—for the dis play of this particular kind of benevolence. For, of these destitute and orphan children now shel tered annually in the workhouses of England and Wales there are, in round numbers, not less than 51,000 altogether—half the whole number of the inmates of the Workhouses. And out of these 51,000, as many as 12,000 are literally " orphans." With a view to the better regulation of the members of the Workhouse Visiting Society, there are ten Rules set down, toyhich ten Rules every member has, as a mere matter of course, rigidly to conform. The First of these Rules runs simply to the effect that "members shall endeavour, by local action and individual exertion, to interest guardians and chaplains throughout the country in the objects of this society, and to obtain their sanction to its operations, the names of all visitors being submitted to the guardians and chaplains for approval." The second very reasonably provides that " visitors shall attend the workhouses at hours most convenient to the inmates and officers and shall observe the rules of the house." The third of these ten rules is one of great and manifest importance, if only with a view to the prevention of anything like prose lytising —namely, " that visitors shall abstain from all interference with the religious opinions of those who differ from them. The remain ing seven rules, which it is not here con sidered necessary to particularise, relate to the practical working of the system upon which the scheme of this kindly Visiting Society is based. The practical good already resulting from the operations of the society has been great. And it is increas ing. The "Ladies Bountiful" of the land have now before them consequently the very opportunity they have so long sighed for. Will they not avail themselves of it ? Leaving the natives of Boorio boolagah to the Mrs. JELLABYS and the " Poll prying" to the Mrs. PARDIGGLES—wiII they not now recognise the fact of this opportunity. * "Journal of the Workhouse Visiting Society."

To all men of educa tion, it must look like an insult to the intelligence of the age. We are always charged with unchari tableness if we assume that the Popery of the pre sent day is identical with that of the times of the Reformation—and, we are most willing to accept the view that the men have changed if doctrines re main the same. We wish to regard Roman Catholics as very much like other men. That is that they have two personalities—their religious one, and their social one; ar.d that like other men the good sense of the social personality keeps in proper bounds the natural tendencies of religious dogmas. But, for this very reason, we expect Roman Catholics who share the general advance of Europe, to have put an end by this time to the grosser extravagances to which the ecclesiastics of every other sect are in their respective modes equally liable. Now we should like to know how many edu_ sated persons throughout Europe, those belonging to the sect itself which has just made the exhibi tion included, will not regard the affair much as the very tolerant correspondent of a contemporary, himself a spectator, regarded , it. He was not in. sensible to the splendour of the show. The music almost overcame him, compelling his feelings to sYmpathise. But he could not avoid the impres sion that it mus t i n so b er m oments be characterised as "humb ug ," and the very k erne l o f the -whole ceremony as writer " the great imposition of the day." The so undoubtedly does his utmost to maintain the most charit a bl e feelings he can, and to put the most charit a bl e construction on everything, that we c e n a n n ld fa n i n rl t y h a a s y s e u regarded that we, had we been present, th e t hi ng more favoura b ly. , For the "humb ug" cardinal present w as fully of the affair—every bishop and that the Japanese marty rs — martyrs to inter meddlingon the conquered sid e i n politics —were of aware of that. He ns wero not paid t o a d vance t h ese knew n o c onsequence at all in the business. Th e 50,000 or 80,000 crow poor men from the rank of Beati, to which a Pope admitted them two hundred years ago, to that of saneti. The money was spent to gather together a great ecclesiastical council of Roman Catholics from all parts of Europe to pronounce, as a last hope, in favour of the POPE'S temporalities against the Italians, who refuse to be his subjects, and the other Italian. to whom the POPE'S Italians wish to unite themselves. To victimise for a yet longer term of years the unfortunate Romans, to enforce Papal bondage on the bodies of those who are Willing o let the POPE have their souls—this was the almost undisguised object of the gathering—an object, but for which the Japanese martyrs or criminals, no matter which, might have remained Bea 6 world without end. We set aside the real character of the martyrs, and we must affirm that this making a stalking horse of their canonization, for a purely secular, worldly, ambitious object, justly brands the whole thing with the epithet bestowed on I by the writer referred to. Then with regard to the chew—that it was a "great imposition," few will deny it who look at the facts and the doings. A very large sum of money had been paid to dishonour the most splendid tem ple in the world with theatrical finery, and 15,b00 wax candles, weighing, it is said, 41bs eaca, and in various other disbursements. All the preliminaries being ready—the canonization being a perfectly settled business, a thorough farce, as thorough as was ever enacted in any theatre, was gone through. We have all heard of the " Nolo _Eliscopari," by which the aspirants to thousands a year declare their unwillingness to be bishops; but this sacred farce beats all that out and out. The suc cessor of the Fisherman, in his gorgeous apparel, being seated on his splendid throne, a Cardinal comes up and demands that the beati may be cata logued with the saints. The POPE replies, that in so grave a business he must have the "prayers of the Church for Divine assistance." Forthwith all present begin to chant a Litany. This over, up comes the petitioner again, demanding canonisation " instanter, or instantius." The POPE still hesitates, and asks for further and "fervid prayers for the Holy Spirit's guidance." The musical praying is resumed. Again the Cardinal petitions this time— " ' instanter, instantius, et instantissime,' as if irri tated with the POPE or the Holy Spirit," and then the POPE replies that "assisted by a ray of divine light he had determined on enrolling the beati in the catalogue of the saints," and pronounces the final word " Decernimus," and so the martyrs, or whatever they were, became Roman Catholic Saints. Of the splendour of the show, of the power of the music, of the appeal it makes to ignorance, we do not doubt ; but in a day of railroads, telegraphs, newspapers, and of rapidly approaching universal education, what are we to say to such huge impostures as these in the very centre of Papal Christendom—of impostures which carry their character on the face of them. That all respectable English Catholics blush for such performances, we may feel quite sure, although they are dutifully silent—they can have no effect but on the peasantry of France and Ireland. Per haps the story distilled for them by bishops and priests, who laugh at it at home, may help ultra montanism in the lowest quarters—that it will cover it with contempt in all others is equally cer tain. It must, we should think, be regarded as the near precursor of the downfal of the temporal power. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. " ROBERTO IL DIAVOLO." The playgoer who is old enough to remember the great sensation drama that was popular forty years ago, and which under the title of " the super natural," commenced with such concoctions as the Vampyre" and " Frankenstein," will easily recall the great excitement created in 1824 by the production of " Der Freischutz" as its first illustration in opera; and again, some seven years later, by that of " Robert the Devil," which may , be regarded as its last. It was in 1831 that a subject which was originally treated at the Porte St. Martin, in Paris, obtained its highest form on the boards of the Grand Opera, and became a vehicle for some of the earliest, and certainly loveliest, music of Moyerbeer. If the " Crociato in Egitto" served to introduce his name to Europe, it was the "Roberto" that immediately and decisively established it. It must also be remembered that if the temporary excitement of the subject conduced not a little to the success of the work at first, that circumstance must also be re- garded as its test, since the music still remains as fresh and popular as ever, whilst the excitement which introduced it has entirely passed away. Nay, the test is a great deal stronger, for so far from being interesting, we have grows, to consider the subject as excessively monstrous and absurd, and yet such is the strength of the music it can still render it attractive, and not only serve to re- press our ridicule, but actually to excite our sympathies. A still further evidence of its power is that the interest of its story being one of incident rather than character, it was supplied with no materials for duly interpreting human feeling (such as was afforded in the " Hugenots"), and therefore was compelled in a great degree to create the human interest which is developed in this work and which creation is just the element that gives its vitality. It is the natural and enduring emotions of Alice, Isalel, and Robert, as expanded,in the music, that continue to attract and affect us, when all the romance of the incantation, and that of the ordeal of the Demon-Father have deservedly died out. A greater test, therefore, than this work affords of the essential genius of a composer, it would not be easy to adduce. The popularity which it won in Paris, on its original production, when it achieved the un parallelled run of 160 successive nights, was soon extended to this country ; and under Mr. Monk Mason's management it was transferred to her Majesty's Theatre in 1832, with Nourrit Levasseur and Mdlle. Cinti in their original and principal characters. It was also given, but not completely, at both Drury-Lane and Covent-Garden, and years afterwards was produced at her Majesty's, in order to furnish, in the character of Alice, a debut for Jenny Lind. If the music and sentiment of the young Normandy peasant had an attraction for the " Swedish Nightingale," which determined the revival of the opera, its re production was certainly no impolitic experiment, when its peasant heroine could find an exponent in the person of Madme. Titiens. It naturally pre sented itself, therefore, to the management as the chief feature of the season ; and, after some weeks of preparation, was produced on Saturday evening with unqualified success. Three circumstances may be referred to as conducing to this result. First, the interest connected with the debut of Mdme. Titiens in Alice; secondly, the careful and effective production of the opera as a whole ; and, lastly, its animation and richness as a spectacle. Of the per formance of Mdme. Titiens no praise can be too great. Assuming the simple Norman girl with a naturalness that seems as easy to her as the dignity of Lucrezia, she addresses herself to the music —with a depth of emotion as well as a massive felicity of tone—that places her effort far be yond all cotemporaneous rivalry. In the great scene with Bertram, where the religious sen timent of the young peasant is made to illus trate so powerfully their respective positions as the good and evil genius of Roberto; her fervor obtained the fullest scope, and certainly nothing could be finer than the horror with which she en countered. tho Damon Father, or grander than her repulse of him, on flying to the cross. Here her attitude alone alone was the happiest testimony to her genius. Whilst Jenny Lind in this great posi tion flung herself at the foot of the sacred emblem, expressing terror at her enemy, quite as much as confidence in her safeguard, Mdme.Titiens springs to its side and by the sudden grandeur of her look and bearing, suggests the action of a seraph defying the power of the arch fiend. The conception of the one was perhaps the more rustic and the more actual; but that of the other, we consider, not only the more natural but more poetic. Her treatment of the music was in accordance with this deeper sense of the character. It made the ardour of the young peasant, both personal and religious, the key to a more impressive, because a more passionate de livery. It was this feeling which gave such depth to her rendering of the pathetic air, "Va mi disse," of the first act, in which she describes the mission she received from her mother to become Roberto's guardian genius. It was was this feeling also gave such interest to the rustic simplicity of the charming melody with which she Vies to reassure herself whilst waiting on the mountain for Raimbaut. Her share in the masterly trio, "Lo Sguado immobile" contributed chiefly to its great impression, and won her the honour of a recall, and not less admirable was her singing and general expression in the last scene, the concluding trio of which—between Alice, Ber tram, Robert—is one of the very finest to be found in modern opera. After successes such as these, we think we are authorized in pro nouncing Alice as one of the characters which hereafter will be regarded as her own. Only second to that of Mdme. Titiens was the im pression produced by Signora Carlotta Marchisio in the character of Isabel. This charecter, which requires a vocalist who can unite the opposite styles of a passionate and brilliant expression, has rarely met with an adequate representative since its ori ginal, and very rarely indeed eny one so sufficient as the Signora Carlotta. If she did not de liver the celebrated " Robert toi que j'aime" with all the emotion it demanded, nothing could surpass the ease and brilliancy of the cavatina in the second act, "In vano it fato." Of the Roberto and the Bertram we can speak re spectfully, if not in terms of the highest praise. Signor Armandi, having recovered from his illness, displayed a very welcome increase of energy, his stately • and chivalric bearing throughout the opera adding not a little to the illusion. His voice, however, appears to have suffered either from illness or over exertion, and was scarcely able to second his frequent sound intentions. The Bertram of Signor Vialetti was a highly artistic impersonation, and in the great scene with Alice displayed a power that was on the verge of genius. The Raimbaut of Signor Bettini was very pleasantly sung and acted. The chorus throughout the opera was very steady and effective, very spirited in the opening music, and very im pressive in that of the Fiends. The band, under Signor Arditi had a force and precision at every point that left nothing to be desired. The spectacle, as we have already said, was very rich and brilliant the incantation scene especially affording Mr. Calcott a happy opportunity to evidence his powers. The house, we need not say, was crowded to the roof, and the satisfaction of the audience was mani fested by the warmest demonstrations. THE DEATH OF Two VOLUNTEER ARTILLERY MEN.-SIIIELDS, Saturday.—The horrible death of Ser geant Manners and Private Meggison, of the 3d Northum berland Artillery volunteers, by being blown away by a gun at Blyth on Thursday night has caused a very profound sensation in the north, and the explanation that is given of the sad affair is this. On Thursday two daughters of Mr. Watts, the commander of the corps, were married, and the firing of the 32-pounder gun at the battery was partly in honour of the event. The stated number of rounds had been fired. but unfortunately the men resolved to try another shot. The drill sergeant, who had loaded all the previous charges, protested against this, but the deceased men, who were in high spirits, playfully took the ramrod out of his hands, and in spite of his remonstrance proceeded to charge the gun again, and were in the act of ramming the chargo home, when the gun went off, it is thought, from the vent not having been properly attended to. in their eagerness to ram the charge home the p ,or fellows had brought their heads to a level with the ram ro d an d directly in front of the muzzle of the gun. Both the young men wore unmarried, and were highly esteemed in the town. THE MEXICAN INTERVENTION. (From the Money _Market _Review.) As matters stand now, the most probable upshot of all these complications is the placing of the Archduke Maximilian on the throne of Mexico, with some kind of a constitution and a stronger Govern ment than Mexico has known for years, sup ported by foreign troops. For such an arrange ment to be permanent, there ought to be a large disbandmentofjhe Mexican standing army, the number of which ought not to be allowed to exceed the present number of Mexican generals, which is said to be about 15,000 ! If only a tithe of this allegation be true, it would abundantly account far the country being always in a state of war. The report transmitted from America during the last few days, that the French army has sustained a defeat at the hands of the Mexican troops on its way to the capital, confirms our recent remarks as to the difficulty of the task which the Emperor Na poleon has taken in hand, without, as it would seem, adequately reckoning the amount of force he would have to employ, or its cost. But he is now fully committed to t he ex pedition, and, as France can never sit down quietly under a reve rs e of this kind, the defeat reported, if it be tr ue , w ill infalli bly be attended with the result of placing the French in possession of the capital. It is only a question of time. The cost of t h is effort , however, and of the subsequent occupat ion, will be so large that we— with me the c China war fresh in ou r memory , w hi c h ed with an estimate of £500,000, an d h as commenced closed at a charge o f at least £ 7,soo , o oo—have reason to rejoice that Fr ance has thought proper to drop us out o f the arrangement, and t o t a k e th e whole of the burthen upon herself. If France chooses to leap and dance, and perform extravagan cies, with a £40,000,000 deficit on her back, and with the annual charge of her national debt closely ap?roximating to our own why we can have nothing to say against the performance, though we may wonder at her thoughtlessness. Perhaps it will do her good hereafter, by cooling her blood. Mean while, we have borne the task of providing £28,000,000 a year, as the mere interest on the national debt, sufficiently long to feel its sobering influence ; and the fact that, notwithstanding a heavy income tax, we have yet, under Mr. Glad stone's management, an annually recurring deficit, is surely sufficient to make us view with pleasure the prospect of being relieved from a war and a military occupation of indefinite cost and duration. It is really very kind of France, for, after all, she is going jauntily to do in Mexico very much the same sort of thing which we ourselves had girded up our loins to accomplish, but with a degree of reluctance proportionate to our sense of the sacrifice it would impose on us. France goes to war as lightly as though it were a ball or a merry-making. She seems to have not the slightest 'sense of pecu niary responsibilities. We can all point to indivi duals amongst our acquaintance who possess exactly this sort of temperament, hut who, somehow, always contrive, in the long run, to become familiar with pecuniary tribulation. ARRIVAL OF THE PRINCE OF WALES.—His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales has arrived in Lon• don, on his return from his tour in the Holy Land. The Queen, with the Royal family, will leave Windsor Castle for Osborne upon Wednesday next. Her Majesty still applies herself indefatigably to the discharge of the duties of her high position ; but it was not to be ex pected that her Majesty's overwhelming grief could admit of any mitigation. Her Majesty has daily driven in the neighbourhood of the Castle, but is not equal to much walking exercise, onto any exertion beyond the transaction of necessary business. When her Majesty proceeds to Balmoral in August next, the Princess Alice and her consort will take their departure for Switzerland. The Queen will not return from Balmoral to Windsor Castle till late in the season ; October is the month at present stated. In November the Queen will visit Germany.—Court Journal. Eight vessels have recently left Queenstown with supplies of arms and ammunition for the Confederate States, and it is said that there are now three large steamers in that harbour bound for blockaded ports, nominally with "general" cargoes, but in reality contraband.

The Moniteur says:— " Though perfect details of the recent engage meats in Mexico are wanting in consequence of the irregularity of the communications beween the interior and Vera Cruz, it was, nevertheless, known on the 15th of May, at the very moment the steamer La Louisiane was starting, from an official despatch from General de Lorencez, addressed on the 9th to the Commandant of the Navy, that the French army occupied at that date its encampment of Amazoc, on the plateau of Anahuac. 1 , According to reports of Mexican origin, the projected attack was, in fact, carried out with groat vigour on the 6th, but without achieving its object, the intrenchments of Guadaloupo not having been carried. Since then no other engagement had taken place. " The Government of the Emperor is taking immediate measures to send out considerable rein forcements to Mexico." MADRID, JUNE 14. To-day in the Congress Senor Coelho censured the complaisance of General Prim for Juarez, and said that the former ought to have proceeded, alone or accempanied, to the city of Mexico. Senor Rios Rosas disapproved the selection of General Prim as plenipotentiary, and censured his conduct. He also spoke in very severe terms of Juarez, who was, he said, unworthy of being treated with. BRUSSELS, JUNE 14, The Moniteur Beige of today publishes the fol• lowing bulletin, signed by Drs.

Signor Ratazzi said that the act of the bishops had not modified the convictions of the Italians on the Roman question, and continuo.].:—" If the Chamber considers the proposed address useful I shall not oppose its adoption." After a short discussion the Chamber adopted the proposition, and deputed five members to draw up the address. FREDENSBORG, JUNE 15. house. THE BRAZILS. (Per the Guienne, via Lisbon.)

The Boston Daily Advertiser was more discerning than we in its judgment respecting the genuineness of the dis reputable " order" ascribed to Major-General Butler by General Beauregard. Our contemporary said that if the order was not genuine, " somebody had perfectly imitated Butler's style." We are mortified to learn that the disgraceful p r oduction was not forged, but was actually publishe d in New Orleans by order of the General. Nothing certainly can be said in defence of "ladies" who waive the privileges of their sex by insulting military strangers on the street; but if they forget the obligations of propriety, it is no reason why a Federal General should be equally oblivious of his dignity.

Can his be true of the Church of England in 1862 P Tell it not in Oath,'" SPORTING NOTES. The annual aristocratic gathering at Ascot will again this year be deprived of the presence of her Majesty in con sequence of the death of Prince Albert, which must affect _ the attendance in no slight degree, as the Sovereign's pre sence has ever attracted to the royal course the dlite of the beau monde, besides troops of her more humble subjects, who have always regarded the Thursday of the meeting as one of the gala days of the year. The absence of the Court will not, however, militate against the sport, of which there is excellent promise, though the entries for some of the races show a considerable falling off, particularly for the Queen's Stand plate, which exhibits the startling decrease of 19, or more than a half compared with the previous year. For this, however, the new three par old race, the Prince of Wales' Stakes, makes amends, as it secured the brilliant entry of 106, whilst for the Queen's Vase the number of horses entered is far in excess of the three preceding years. The two year old races, and others in which the young sters are engaged, are, however, much less affected by previous running than last year, consequently their issue will be regarded with great interest ; and, from all I can learn, a rich treat may be anticipated in the contest for the New Stakes, if not for the Biennial. The list, taken altogether, though not so promising as last year, is in every way worthy of Ascot, the total amount added to the diffe rent races amounting, in the aggregate, to £3,225, exclusive of the value of the Vase and the Royal Plate, being an in creas' of £325 on the previous year. Six of the eight races in the list for f first day (Tues day) are already completed, leaving the Trial Stakes and a Plate of 100 sous for two years olds, yet to be named for. Of the closed races the Ascot Stakes first claims attention. The following may be calculated upon among the -- --- - - PROBABLE STARTERS AND JOCSEYS- Rappsree, 4 yrs, Bst 91b J. Osbozue- Knutsford, 4 yrs, Bst Paste, 4 yrs, Bst 51b., S. Rogers. Frailty, 4 yrs, Bst llb .... Investment, 3 yrs, 7st 121 b Challoner. Balharn, 4 yrs, 7st 121 b Schism, 6 yrs, 7st 121 b.... Adams. Conundrum, 4 yrs, 7st 51b.... Roper, Fitz-Eva, 4 yrs, 7st 31b T. French. Boabdil, 4 yrs, 7st Martin. nnotone, 3 yrs, Est 101 b Daley. Canary, 4 yrs, bat 81b .. Whiteley. Shipwreck Emma Middleton filly 1 Splitvote colt Turn of Luck, 3 yrs, 6st llb J. Grimshaw. Rapparee has on several occasions shown good racing form, and, even with the steadying weight of Bst 91b, will be diffi cult to dispose of; but I would rather trust to Paste, who will be steered by Sam Rogers, without exception the most artistic jockey of the day. The next deserving of attention Li Schism, who has been going to do a good thing for the last 18 months. She has only to carry the same weight as Invest ment, the top weighted three-yr-old. The money of the stable is now on, and if she fails to pnll through, the sooner they turn her out of training the better. Canary is the pick of John Day's lot, and was backed for heaps of money before the acceptances, but has since gone fishy. If the money is all right on the day, I shall not look further for the winner. Fitz Eva will represent Godding's stable. Shipwreck, 4 yrs, 6st 41b, is literally turned loose, but he has on all occasions run so badly that I must hold my vote from him on the present occasion. Knutsford I hold in the highest esteem, and if the money is shifted off Canary I shall be prepared to see KNUTSFORD the winner. Next to 111 m I fancy Salon. The Gold Vase has a more numerous entry than last year, as the following are nominated :.-- A Age st lb Age st lb Asteroid .. 4 8 10 Tim Whiffler. ..... 3 7 7 Croagh Patrick.... 4 8 10 Malek 3 7 7 Carbineer Fairwater The Roe 4 8 5 Hurrican e 3 7 2 Silverhair The race will be a match between Asteroid and Carbineer. The distance being only two miles will suit Asteroid. The popularity of the Queen's Stand Plate would appear to be on the wane, as there are only eighteen horses entered, a great falling off compared with the two previous years, when they numbered respectively thirty-seven and thirty-five. The different penalties and allowances cause the weights to stand thus : Age st lb Age st lb General Hess King of Diamonds 6 9 8 Battery Lerd of the Manor 6 9 5 Ossian Shillelagh ........ 4 9 5 Vivid Lady Clifden .... 4 9 2 Event colt 2 6 12 Ripon 5 8 12 The Orphan 2 6 12 6 12 B i rd hiil 3 8 12 Cairncastle .. 2 Merryman 6 8 8 Amazonian ...... 2 6 9 Argonaut .. 3 8 5 Lady Stafford .... 2 6 9 It will be recollected that in 1860 no fewer than sevsti teen horses ran, the finish being left to the Queen of the \ ale and Brown Duchess, and last year, with twenty runners, the two year olds were again in the van, Buck stone and Marignan occupying the two first places. The weights have since been altered, and are now not quite se favourable iv the youngsters. ARGONAUT, who has a 71b allowance, and who ran extiemcly forward in the Derby, should have no difficulty in crediting the stakes to Sir Joseph Hawley. In his absence I will trust LADY STAF• FORD. Twelve very moderate 3-yr-olds are engaged in the And , Derby, including the colt by Windhound out of Splitvote, Gemse colt by Voltigeur out of Typee, Brother to King of Diamonds, Lacydes, Xurullo, and Carisbrook, The latter is entitled to the most consideration, as.he stayed well in the race for the Newmarket Handicap, for which, it will be recollected, ran a good third, receiving only 241 b for the year from Carbineer, while he gave to Sappho, who finished two lengths in advance of him 111 b. The Prince of Wales Stakes, with its munificent addition of 500 sovs, obtained a splendid entry of 106 3-yr-olds, in cluding, with the single exception of Caractaous, all the best horses of the year. Those from which the field is likely to be selected are as follows : st lb Marquis Feu de Joie 9 0 Buckstone Caterer Wingrave Duke Rollo .. 8 13 Neptunus Z Aland Lord Burleigh The Knave 8 10 at lb Hurricane Laughing Stock 8 10 Ace of Clubs Typee colt Farfalla Splitvote colt Balder St. Alexis Town Councillor Lord Stanley Carisbrook Silkstone .. 8 5 Pigdon Piccador Ensign .. 8 10 Hubert 8 10 Alchymist Brighton 8 10 Harlequin The distance being one furlong longer Than the Derby course will be nothing in favour of any of the horses likely to take part in the contest. The Marquis is held Ottfe by Buckstone, which will occasion him to be among the ab sentees, so Mr. Merry's colours seem likely to be in the ascendant. Although Ensign, the Typee colt, and St. Alexis lost start in the Derby I do not think they will show to better advantage here. Piccador takes the maiden allowance, but will not be able to lower the colours of Mr. Merry. To attempt to pick the winner for the Royal Hunt Cup is simply ridiculous, but from the amount of money put on Croagh Patrick on Saturday last it looks as if his party consider the race all over but shouting. The Coronations Stakes should be won by Gorse ; the Fernhill by Living stone; the Two-yr-old Triennial by Lord Clifden ; and the Three-yr-old Biennial by Buckstone. Thursday, the grand day, will unhappily for the second year in succession; be shorn of the grand pageant always attendant on the Queen's visit to Ascot, and which adds such interest to the scene. The entries for the all-attrac tive event of the day, the Cup, are two less than last year, notwithstanding which it would not surprise me to see at least as numerous a field at the starting post. Thormanby is said to be amiss, or there would have been an immense amount of speculation between him and Asteroid. The latter has held the pride of place in the betting ever since the entries. His performances this year have been of the highest order ; but, as he must now be getting stale, I shall; even in the face of the market, look elsewhere for the winner. Besides, some well-known bookmakers keep laying against him. The distance wileuit Carbineer, and he is certain to finish first or second. tland had quite enough of it in the Derby to be of much use here. The only other, in my opinion, that has a chance is Caller Ou, last year's winner of the St. Leger. Kettledrum, two days after he suffered defeat by Caller Ou, gave Brown Duchess, the winner of the Oaks, 71b, and run a dead heat with her in the Don caster Cup. On these grounds, and knowing the mare to CeALL winnerE of b e well, I shall e x p ect t o see R O the eo Ascot s C o A o t R C B u I p. NE E R th p r oclaimed If Mr. Merry brings o u t hi s W as p co lt for the Now Stakes, I shall look no further for the winner. Unfortu-- nately he is not engaged in next year's Derby. The St. James's Palace Stakes Costa seems likely to credit to Mr. Merry's account, and Argonaut will enjoy a walk over for the 50 Sovs Sweepstakes, in which he is en gaged, Ploughboy being dead and Mr. Crawfurd's nomina tion a wrong one. The Royal Stand Plate will go to Ten Broeck with his chosen representative, oither Optimist or Umpire. The races for the concluding day have not yet closed. A FRESH MAN. PERPETUATION OF A HIGHLAND FEUD.—A cor respondent informs us of a now happily rare occurrence which took place at Fort Augustus towards the end of last month. It seems that two elderly worthies, named respec tively F-- and M'D—, residing in or near that Tillage, had been enjoying themselves together in a neighbour's house over the indispensable aqua sacred to convivial occa sions, when one of them happening to sing a particular song in relation to a domestic passage in the history of their clans, was so violently assaulted by the other that a fight ensued. Blood was spilt ; the doctor had to be called, and the matter reported to the police.
