THE CIVIL WAR IN AMERICA. SOUTHAMPTON, THURSDAY. The North German Lloyd screw steamer New York, Captain G. Wenke, which left New York on the 7th inst., arrived in the river at 1 p.m., and will proceed to Bremen this evening, after coaling. She brine) 64 passengers for this port and Havre, and 150 for Bremen ; 407,883 dols. for England, 125,000 4dols. for France, and 400 dols. for Bremen, with a full cargo. The steamer Persia from Liverpool,and the screw steamer Saxonia from Southampton,arrived at New York on the sth inst., and the screw steamer City of Washington from Liverpool was off Cape Race on the evening of the 6th. The New York spoke the followin; ships :—Off Sandy Hook, the Bremen steamer Guagara, the American ship Alexander Marshall, and the Ame rican barques Elizabeth Yeo and Arkwright,bound to the eastward; June 15, in lat. 48 3 N., long . 31 24 W., the barque Stirling, from Trinidad, bound eastward. In the Senate, on the sth, a bill for the establish ment of national arrnouries was introduced by Mr. Grimes, of lowa. The bill providing for a Govern ment for the territory of Arizona was taken up and debated. Mr. Sumner, of Massachusetts, moved to postpone its consideration, and take up the reso lution for the expulsion of Mr. Starke, of Oregon; bat the motion failed, as it was decided by the Vice- President that such a course would throw the Tax Bi:1 over. The Tax Bill was then taken up and debated until the adjournment. An amendment was offered by Mr. Sumner and adopted, which - provides that every person claiming the services or labour of persons held as slaves shall be taxed 2 dols. per head for every person so held. Mr. Powell, of Kentucky, offered a resolution, which was laid over, asking information relative to the regi. ment of blacks alleged to ha ve been raised b y General Hunter. Mr. Sum ner, of Massach usetts, offered a resolution that "the office of m ilit ary governor is contrary to the constitution and laws, destructive of the civil authority, and con trary to the s pirit of all our institutions." This was also laid over. Mr. Sumner then moved to take up the case of Mr. Starke, of Oregon, but the Senate refused, and proceeded to the consideration of the Tax Bill. The vote on Thursday, by which an a mendment was adopted providing for the laying of a tax of 2 dols, each on slaves, was reconsidered, and the amendment was rejected after a long de bate, The Tax Bill was then passed, 37 to 1, and tbz, Senate adjourned. In the house there was no business of interest. From the army of the Potomac the following are the latest despatches and intelligence, from which it will be seen Gen. M'Clellan corrects his former telegraphic despatch : " M'Clellan's Headquarters, June 6. " Two deserters, who came in this morning, state that Gen, Joe Johnson was seriously, if not mortally wounded, through the groin, by a Minie ball, dur ing the late battle. Gen. G. W. Smith is now in command. Other information received goes on to corroborate the report. These deserters state that the rebel loss is estimated at 10,000 in killed, wounded, and missing. No material change has taken place in the position of the enemy. A con traband has arrived who left Richmond yesterday. He represents things there as in a terrible state of confusion and uncertainty. No troops are in the city excepting those doing guard duty and attend ing to the sick and wounded, all being compelled to remain outside. There were no signs of evacuation, but, on the contrary, everything goes to show a detsrmined resistance on the part of the rebels. The contraband states that during the fight on Sun day the housetops and all elevated positions were covered with people to witness the battle, every one expecting to see our troops driven into the Chicka hominy, but when they saw the rebels running to wards the city the greatest consternation prevailed. Many of the inhabitants hive crossed the James River, expecting the city to be occupied by our troops soon. It is rumoured that Gen. Magruder is going to resign, having become disgusted with the rebel military administration. We are informed that there are no troops between the Rappahannock and the army of the Potomac, under the command of Gen. M'Clellan. Everything has been very quiet to day. A flag of truce came in to-day from General Huger, asking for the bodies of General Pettigrew, and Colonels Davis, Lightfoot, Long, and Britton, - who were supposed to have been killed in the late battle. Colonel Davis was the only one killed. Lightfoot and Long are prisoners, and Britton was wounded, as also General Pettigrew. Col. Davis's body will be returned." " To THE HON. E. M. STANTON, SECRETARY of WAR. "New-bridge, June, 5, 10 30 a.m. "My telegraphic despatch of June 1, in regard to the 'battle of Fair Oaks, was incorrectly pub lished in the newspapers.

STANTON, SECRETARY OF WAR. " Field of Battle, 12 o'cicck, June 1. We have had a desperate battle, in which the corps of Sumner, Heintzelman, and Keyes have been engaged against greatly superior numbers. Yesterday, at one o'clock, the enemy taking advan tage of a terrible storm, which had flooded the valley of the Chickahominy, attacked our troops on the right bank of the river. Casey's division, which Naas the first line, gave way unaccountably and dis tteditably.

The water in the Chiekahorniny rose to an uniirecedented light. The railroad trains from White House to the late battle-field were detained several hears, and the telegraph Ene was down in many places. A contraband, who left Kehmond on Monday night, states that all the carts, furniture cars, omnibuses, and carriages to be found were impressed into the service for the carrying of the dead and wounded from the battle-field ; and that the Spottswood and Exchange Hotels, together with a number of public and private buildings, were turned into hospitals. All the information shows that the enemy suffered terribly. The rebels opened with artillery this morning from five different points opposite New Etridge, with a view of preventing its reconstruction. Three of our batteries opened on them, causing them to retreat after a hot fire of two hours. Our loss 111 " one killed and two wounded. No further inter ference took place during the day."

M'CrEteaaT, e , Major-General Commanding.' " A correspondent of the Tribune gives the follow ,' i n , narrative of the "Battle of Fair Oaks," as the engag ement before Richmond is to be called : "Heintz e l man ' s H ea d- quarters, Monday, June 2. " Saturday night closed upon the battle-field of that day with the enemy in full force in front. Our troops were under arms all night along the entire line of action, prepared for the renewal of 'the fight the next morning. During the night the enemy ihad advanced fully up to the furthest point made by them the day before, and were strongly posted on both sides of the railroad. General Sedgwick's division had arrived on the right on Saturday evening, too late to take part in the action of that day, but fresh and eager for that approaching. During the night Birney's brigade had -been posted at better advantage of position than had been the fortune of our troops occupying that and the adjacent grounds of the day before; and with the determination to redeem the losses of Satur: day inspiriting our entire line the action com menced. The regiments to which the brunt of the battle fell were those which had not suffered much in the contest of the day before, although all of Heintzelman's corps, or Hooker's and Kear ney's divisions, and Keyes's corps, were represented in it. I cannot say that any organised body from Casey's division participated in Sunday's work. The affair is yet too recent to admit of a description in full that would do justice to all the parties de serving especial mention, and to mention a part might do injustice to others. Two brigades, how ever, whose spheres of action were within the field of my personal observation I do not hesitate to mention, although others may be equally deserving. There can be no question that Sickles's brigade in Hooker's, and Birney's in Kearney's division covered themselves with glory in their several charges, each against a force much their superior in numbers. Unfortunately for himself, General Birney was ordered under arrest early in the morning for some infraction of orders, and the command of his brigade devolved on Colonel J. H. Hobert Ward, of the 38th New York. Under this gallant officer the brigade, consisting of the 38th and 40th New York and the 3d and 4th Maine, and to which the 7th Massachu setts had been temporarily attached, drove a much stronger force of the enemy through a heavy wooded swamp out of the woods into an open field, where two regiments of the brigade were posted so as to give them a galling fire that soon compelled them to-fall back ; and when Colonel Ward ordered the bayonet charge the entire brigade gave them the point, and drove them for nearly a mile in a perfect rout. Sickles's brigade also gave the enemy a taste of the bayonet, and drove them with great slaughter out of the rifle-pits from which they were dealing death to our troops. These suc cesses, followed up with courage and promptness, I and sustained by the hard fighting in Sedgwick's division, settled the fortune of the day, and changed what had been the closest contested and severest engagement east of th© Alleghenies into a sub-_ stantial triumph of our arms. The rebels fell back all afternoon, and a reconnoissance to-day discovers none within a distance of three miles of our posi tion of Saturday. The conduct of the rebels in the engagements of yesterday and the day before was worthy of a better cause. General officers speak of some of their charges on Saturday as splendid; but they were in strong force, the attacking party, and had the choice of ground— three points in their favour, and if they had any good fight in them it should come out under such circumstances. They outnumbered our troops about five to one, according to the best reconnoissance that could be made—five distinct lines of battle, lying in order, supporting each other. Their loss must be greater than our own in k-illed—perhaps not so great in wounded. They used a cartridge of one ball and three buckshot —most effective in short ranges, and more destructive than the most prized rifle-ball, as they wound more than they kill. From prisoners taken yesterday I hear cf one Alabama regiment that went into the engagement over 1,300 strong on Saturday morning. Sunday morning it reported only 150. Colonel Brotton, of the Ist South Carolina, taken prisoner by Birney's brigade, confirms that statement, and gives similar reports of other cases. His own regiment had more than 50 killed by one fire of one of our regiments armed with the Austrian rifle. But our own loss was very heavy, particularly in wounded, and fully up to the day before. Birney's brigade suffered in killed and wounded less than 200, mostly in the 3d Maine and 40th New York. The latter hes not yet been able to ascertain the names of the killed and wounded. The 38th New York suffered some w hat, but not to the extent of either of the others named ; while the 4th Maine, being posted near the railroad track, and using it for a breastwork, lost but very few, and all of its wounded being slightly. But in Sedgwick's division the loss was very severe, - the number of wounded reported being near 1,000. These are now being brought over for removal by cars to White-house, all of the wounded in Heintzel man's cor ps having been sent on. The cars mcve but slowly, and while waiting for return trains the ground around head-quarters is covered with the wounded—hundreds of them without shelter ; and to add to the horrors of their situation we have had severe thunderstorms for two nights in sue- 1 cession, to which these wretched_ sufferers are I exposed. To-night the divisions on the left took position in advance, yet not as far as Casey's occupied before being routed oh. Satur day. The camps are full of rumours that Richmond is evacuated, but whether or not there is truth in the rumour it is impossible to determine here, although so near. It is certain, however, that Our troops furthest advanced can see no rebel camps a t this part of the line, and the theory that the fight of a,te. us ay was to cover sonic movement in the rear 1 ° R r k tt ii : o tl i T_be correct.

They were railroad engineers, and say that they ran three locomotives out of Memphis, on the Memphis and Ohio Railroad, to Humboldt, where they switched them off, and brought theni north to Trenton, where they found the bridge over the Obion river destroyed.

Until the arrival of these reinforcements the Federals were driven from their redoubts and their batteries turned on them. General Lee and President Davis were on the field. Their presence inspired the enthusiasm of our troops. The Yankees stubbornly contested every inch of ground, but were compelled to give way before the impetuous charges of our -aoldiera. A large number of Confederate soldiers are wounded in the arms and legs. Gen. Rhodesia slightly wounded. The enemy tried to make a flank movement about 7 p,m., but were repulsed. On Sunday the battle was resumed chiefly with musketry. Prisoners are constantly coming in. Gen. Hatton, of Tennessee, is killed. The carnage on both sides is dreadful, the Yankees losing two to our one. About 500 prisoners are already taken. The last despatch sent on the Ist says the latest intelligence from the battle field represents the enemy to be driven back a mile and a half from his position. Our forces now occupy his camps. We captured three batteries after the most desperate fighting. The enemy were protected by woods and intrenchments:" Under date of June 3 a correspondent of the Philadelphia Press writes from Fortress Monroe— " The gunboat Dragon arrived here from City Point last night, bringing down three refugees who belonged to Norfolk, and who had been forcibly taken from their houses and sworn into a company to serve the cause of treason. They report that every available building in Richmond had been seized for hospital purposes, and that the mor tality among the sick and wounded was frightful. Provisions of every kind were very scarce, and the rebels were preparing to make a desperate stand immediately in defence of their failing cause. Great despondency and terror reigned among the people, who express now no hopes of success for the Con federate arms. The cannonade of Saturday shook the city of Richmond to its very base, and the inha bitants were fleeing in every direction for safety, in anticipation of a panic and route of the rebel troops and an advance of the exasperated Union army. Hundreds of slaves could be seen in the vicinity of City Point, begging for deliverance with white flags, but could not be rescued for the want of means of transportation. The fleet moved up to Fort Darling on Sunday night, and it is thought a desperate battle is by this time in progress. Our James river fleet has been greatly strengthened, and success this time is pretty certain." MIDDLE LEVEL INUNDATIONS. LYNN, THURSDAY NOON. To-day I found that the greatest efforts ware being made by the authorities to stop the tidal waters by the completion of the now famous coffer dam. The tides have been decreasing for the last few days, and it was thought that to-day would offer a good opportunity for letting down the panels and shutting out the water. Some of the lower panels which were driven at first had not been dis turbed, but in those bays where they had failed sheet piling had been driven, as I have before stated, and cut off at a sufficient depth to serve for the purpose of dropping down the next row of panels upon them. When I left this morning they were about to drop down the 12-feel panels, which would it was hoped Effectually stop the water. The probability of the work now standing is consider ably greater than it was in the former instance, although I have heard more than one authority ex press grave doubts as to the success of the dam. I am glad to be able to state that no serious da mage is likely to result from the breaking of the slacker at the Smeeth and Fen Sluice on Monday. The leakage through the banks has not been so bad the last 24 hours as before, as I have no further damage to report as regards the holes in the cut. At a meeting of the River Ouse Hailing commis sioners, which was held at the Guildhall, Lynn, yesterday, it was represented that considerable in jury had been done to navigation by the destruction otthe middle level outfall sluice, thiough the tow ing path on the west side of the Ouse being stopped.

CAREER OF AN AMERICAN GENERAL.—The Arne ricy General AN was or i g i na ll y a j ourneyman black smith, afte r wards a member of Congress, Speaker of the House of Representatives, and Governor of Massachus setts. At the outbreak of the civil war he was engaged in relinquished to volunteer his services as a soldier in. sup portthe management of a r:trroaniglwan,ayti-swlahvicehryp m es an ition he of the Union. How: Mr. Davison, in opening the case, said the action was brought for services rendered to the wife of the plaintiff in performing a process known as enamelling ladies' faces. (Laughter.) Some years ago they had probably heard of celebrities who had undergone the process, but this was the first occa sion perhaps on which they would see a lady who had actually experienced it. His client, the wife of Philip Leverson, carried on business at 47, New Bond-street, at the corner of Maddox-street, under the name of Madame Rachel. The defendant, the Hon. Swinfen Thomas Carnegie, who he believed was the heir to a peerage, married the lady to whom the services were rendered, and who, he was in formed, was the daughter of the Countess Rapp, the wife of a Mr. Hope, who was well known in the highest circles of society. In December, Mrs. Car negie being desirous to avail herself f Madame Rachel's secret for beautifying the countenance, sent a maid servant to request her to call at her residence. Madame Rachel declined to go, but said she would be glad to see her at her own house. Afterwards Mrs. Carnegie cal!ecl and went through Madame Rachel's ordeal, and continued to do so on several other occasions when she was going to dinner or evening parties. At the latter end of March some difficulty arse about the payment, and Mrs. Carnegie •offered Madame Rachel some valuable jewellery which the plaintiff refused to take as she had promised to pay, but she never did so, and up to the present time the plaintiff had not received a farthing. Mrs. Carnegie called at all hours of the day and night, and she said that she would not mind paying Madame Rachel £l,OOO if she could successfully apply the process to her, such was the state of her health at that time. No doubt the jury would have an opportunity of seeing the effect upon Mrs. Carnegie before the end of the cause, and judge for themselves of the value of the ser vices for which compensation was now sought. Mrs. Rachel Leverson was then called, and re quested to be sworn on the Old Testament. She said—l enamel ladies' faces. In December last, a young woman, the lady's maid of Mrs. Carnegie, called and asked me to come to her mistress's resi dence, in Belgrave-square- I told her I never at tended strange ladies at their residences, but that if she called upon me I would have no objection to see her. she came a second time for one of my cir culars. She again asked me to call, but I declined. About Christmas Mrs. Carnegie called at my shop, and told me that she was the Hon. Mrs. Carnegie. She said she had for a long time been afflicted with serious abscesses on different parts of her:bosom, and that her complexion was very much faded in conse quence of having undergone a serious operation in Paris. One of the abscesses had been cut away. This is a delicate thing for one lady to say of another. She said she had suffered much annoyance from a fearful scar on her bosom, and that if I would enamel it she would give anything for my services. I declined to enamel it, as in her serious state it would be injurious to her health. 1 gave her my terms. She told me she had seen them in the news papers. The terms are contained in the advertise ment produced " Youth and Beauty—Alabaster powder, magne tic rock, dew water from Sahara, Circassian bloom, Arabian soaps, and alabaster liquid.—These costly preparations will render the hair, teeth, and com plexion beautiful beyond comparison. Can be obtained only from Madame Rachel. Madame Rachel, in answer to numerous inquiries, begs leave to say that her fees are as follows :—For enamel ling a lady, 160 guineas and upwards ; for attend ing a lady for a ball or party, without enamelling, five guineas.' (Laughter.) Another advertisement was also read offering a recipe of the process for a guinea. Examination continued—Mrs. Carnegie said if she could appear in public as she wished she would give me £l,OOO, or any amount of money, for ladies had circulated a report that she had had one of her breasts cut. She said that she had an income of her own, and ample means to pay me. She was perfectly aware that I attended no one but the elite of society. (Laughter.) She said she would rather pay me the sum I have mentioned than wear high necked dresses._ _ Mr. Baron Wilde—What was the enamelling for? Witness—For enamelling the bosom, neck, face, and arms. (Laughter.) She had been very hand some, young lady, she was then very hnot paint ladi es . Mine is a very muc but, faded. do a different process. (Laughter.) I exercised my art of enamelling on her more than three times. Mr. Baron W ilde—Are so many operations necessary I. Witness—l can enamel a lady for one evening or for ever. (Great laughter.) My process depends upon whether the lady requires it for one evening or permanently. I enamelled Mrs. Carnegie four times at my residence. She called up on me , altogether, eight or ten times. I also supplied her with cosmetics and perfumery, and other articles I deal in. The lady is in court and can tell you all about the process. I never went to her resi dence. I supplied her with preparations for the toilet. She could not do without them. I received one not© from her by a maid servant, in which she Said 1 was not to tell the bearer anything, as she was ignorant of the purpose for which she was sent. From beginning to end Mrs. Carnegie never uttered a word of complaint ' • on the contrary, I received great compliments from her for what I had done. She said she went to a hunt fancy ball in Wales, where she was much admired. This was after I had enamelled her. She said she assumed the character of " Snow." (Laughter.) She told me how she was dressed. She wore a costly white tulle dress smothered with white feathers to repre sent a snow storm. (Continued laughter.) She said, " I looked very lovely, indeed, as my meid will tell you." I never got any money from her s but she referred me to a Dr. Robertson. She brought me some jewels, and among them a tiara of diamonds. She offered me the rings on her fingers, but I declined to accept them. I said I expected money. She replied, " When I return from Wales in three weeks' time I will pay you, Madame Rachel, on my honour as a lady." She told me that Captain Carnegie had of late compli mented her on her good looks, and also that he was quite eware that I attended her. Before the process she had several very unpleasant marks on her bosom, and her face was very sallow. She had a very beautiful figure and was a very fine lady iodced, but her complexion had undergone serious changes—l presume from loss of blood in conse quence of the operation in Paris. These appearances are now so far removed by my application that she is now a very beautiful woman indeed. (Laughter.) Cross-examined by Mr. Karslake—l am the enameller. I have also a daughter, who practises the art. I will describe my process if you wish. First of all every vestige of dirt, is removed from the system by liquid herbs, The pores of the flesh are hot 'stopped lip as some suppose. It is my object to keep them open. The whole skin is washed over with liquid flowers, not with paint. I do not paint. I eannot give the Cited, dates of Mrs. Carnegie's visits, so many ladies call upon me. SOmetimes I attend ladies at their own homes, but only after the fatigue of the season. (Laughter.) Ladies generally require secrecy, and I regret that this should be exposed in a public court. I enamel some children. The process is now no secret among ladies. Mrs. Carnegie was enamelled four times at my house. I hid the wound by a process only known to myself. I also enamelled the bust, the face, and the arms. She once came to my house as tete as twelve at night and remained until two in the morning. Re-examined—My process is really not ena melling, but ladies call it so, because under it the skin becomes so beautiful, soft, and white that it resembles painting on ivory. (Laughter.) It is generally adopted among the highest classes. It is a very ancient custom. There is-another process which is properly called enamelling, but mine is merely cleansing the skin and rendering it more Mr. Kerslake then addressed the jury for the defence. He said there could be no doubt that Mrs. Carnegie had bad the folly to undergo the process of enamelling, but the question was whether she had the authority of her husband to pledge his credit fJr such an extravagant purpose. Capt. Carnegie knew nothing whatever of the matter until, to his astonishment, he saw Madame Rachel's bill for the enormous sum of £938 ss. The learned counsel then contended that Madame Rachel rendered the services she did to Mrs. Carnegie entirely at the risk of being paid by the lady herself out of her own private fortune, and that she was perfectly well aware that she came to her without the knowledge of Capt. Carnegie. Nothing would please Madame Riche' more than to have Mrs. Carnegie placed in the box and cross.exatninea, but she should not have that satisfaction, as her evidence was totally immaterial to the issue, and he was determined not to produce her as a witness. He would, however, call Capt. Carnegie, who would tell them that he was totally ignorant of what his wife had been doing until, to his horror, he was made acquainted with the fact by the bill of Madame Rachel, in which nearly £l,OOO was charged for four attend. antes. The Hon. Capt. Carnegie, the defendant, exa mined—My wife has a private income of between £7OO and £BOO a year. She has a scar on the breast, the result of an operation. I first knew that she had consulted Madame Rachel on the 23d of March last. She informed me, an I produced Madame Rachel's account [The account, which was put in, was a sum of £938 bs., for enamelling, attendance, and preparations.] I never authorised her to employ Madame Rachel. I always supplied my wife with sufficient necessaries and medical at tendance. I did not go to the ball at Monmouth which she attended. Speaking from my own per sonal observation, I think the scar is rather worse than it was at the commencement of the year. Cross-examined—My wife is in the neighbour hood of the court. I am a sailor, and am now in the command of a vessel. I was not in the command of one in January, February, or March last year. I was then living in the neighbourhood of Belgrave square. I did not authorise my solicitor, Mr. Mac kenzie, to make an offer to Madame Rachel. I allow my wife to consult what medical men she likes, and pay the bills without examining the items. She has a carriage. Mr. Davison—l do not wish to be inquisitive, bht I believe your income is considerable ? ' Captain Carnegie—lt is sufficient. (Laughter.) Mr. Karslake and Mr. Davison having addressed the jury en behalf of their respective clients, Mr. Baron Wilde, in summing up, said—The question for the jury was, whether the plaintiff had made out to their satisfaction that Capt. Carnegie had authorised his wife to employ Madame Rachel in the way , described. In deciding that point they ought to look at all the circumstances of the case, the position of the parties, the peculiar nature of the services rendered, and the fact that the wife had a separate income of her own. The jury, without more than a minute's delibera-' tion in the box, returned a verdict for the defendant. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. (Before Sir C. Cresswell and a Special Jury.) DYKE V. WILLIAMS-THE STEPNEY MURDER. In this case the defendant applied for letters of administration to the effects of Mary Elmsley, the woman who was murdered at Stepney in 1860, on the ground that he was her nephew and next of kin. The Queen's Proctor intervened, and pleaded that the deceased was illegitimate, and having died intestate and childless the Crown became the legal heir to her estate. Mr. Macaulay, Q.C., Mr. Boden, Q.C., and Dr. Spinks were counsel for the Queen's Proctor ; and Mr. O'Malley, Q.C., Dr. Wambey, and Mr. Bevir for the defendant. , Mr. O'Malley stated the case for the defendant, which was opened first. His client contended that ' tiffs father, who died in 1850, and the deceased woman were brother and sister and born in lawful wedlock. Their alleged father was a shoemaker, named Samuel Williams, and married a reputed foreigner named Mary Poupare, at St. Dunstan's Church, Stepney, on Sept. 5, 1780; and were both described in the marriage register as of the hamlet lof Ratcliff. After the marriage they lived at Stepney, and had several children, including the deceased and the father of the defendant, who had, always been considered in the neighbourhood as their legitimate children. Mary Elmsley was mar ried first to a man named Jones, and afterwards to Elmsley, both of whom she survived. It appeared that the family from whom the defendant claimed to be descended had been located for years in the neighbourhood to Ratcliff, where they carried on what seemed to be their hereditary trade, that of shoemaker; and one of the grounds on which the defendant rested his claim was that his father car ried on the same business, and that he was brought up to it also. When the Queen's Proctor was induced to intervene, from information which ho had received, he proceeded on the plea that the defendant was illegitimate ; but tile latter having succeeded in establishing the marriage of his father and mother at St. Mary's, Lambeth, *at plea was abandoned, and that of the illegitimacy of Mary Elmsley substi tuted. The marriage certificate of Samuel Wil liams and Mary Poupare was also discovered after some difficulty. The defendant's father and Mary Elmsley treated each other always as brother and sister, atid were in the habit of calling each other by their Christian names. The learned counsel also adverted to the fact of these two parties hav ing borne the Christian names of their parents, as tending to prove that they were their children. Samuel Williams, of Stone-stairs, Grove-street, Ratcliff, the defendant, was examined, and stated that his father and Mary Elmsley were on affec tionate terms, and he always understood they were brother and sister. His father was buried in Step ney churchyard. Elizabeth Golt, sister of the previous witness, corroborated the preceding evidence as to the terms on which her father and Mrs. Elmsley were until his death. Other evidence of a s;milar character was called ; and the case was not concluded at the rising of the Court. _ THE VOYAGE OF THE CUNARD STEAMSHIP SCOTIA.—As much interest was attached to the respective voyages of the steamships Great Eastern and the new Cunard paddle steamship Scotia, and as the log of the former has already appeared in our columns, the log of the Scotia will no doubt prove of interest to our readers.

On sounding the top turn Asteroid increased his lead to five or six lengths, in which position they descended the hill. On reappearing in sight Fairwater had disappeared from the front, and Zetland, with Carbineer, came on in attend ance upon the leader, Harlequin lying fourth, Investment fifth, Fairwater next, and Palestro bringing up the rear, in which way they ran to the three-quarter mile post ; the leading horses got closer together, and came round the turn into the straight nearly abreast ; Sir Joseph's c o lt, however, having a slight advantage, with Zetland at his girths and Carbineer on the outside, the three running to gether to the stand enclosure, where Harlequin and Invest ment were beaten, and Fairwater took her position in the rear of Lord Zetland's horse; Asteroid shook off Challoner's challenge a few strides from home, and won cleverly, but not easily, by a neck.

The rebels, aster leaving the fort, destroyed the pontoon bridge which they had constructed some weeks since over the Hatchie River.

(Sittings at Nisi Prius, before Mr. Justice Keating and a Commou Jury.) KEATING V. STEWART. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a printer, against the defendant, a Miss Agnes Stewart, to recover the sum of £67 odd for work done, &c. Mr. Brett, Q.C., and Mr. Garth were counsel for the plaintiff; Mr. Mills, Q.C., and Mr. Charles Russell for the defendant. It appeared from the evidence of the plaintiff that the defendant, in the month of April last, started a magazine entitled the "Rose and Thistle Magazine," and engaged the plaintiff to print it for her. R e had complied with her order, and now claimed the sum of £67. The defendant called no witnesses, but it was contended that plaintiff was not entitled to recover, in consequence of the bad condition in which he had printed the book, there being mistakes in almost every third page, and some of the pages contained as many as five or six mistakes. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff — damages, £62 Bs. 6d. 2,9`. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. / fbittings at Nisi Prius, at Westminster, after Term, before Mr. Baron Wilde, and a Special Jury.)

The cost of the process greatly , depends on the result to be arrived at. Mrs. Car negie was delighted with her appearance after I had attended her three or four times. She said she would like to be made beautiful for ever. (Laughter.) Mr. Baron Wilde—And so far as you know the benefit you have conferred is permanent ? Witness—l am certain of it. (Continued laughter) Mr. Baron Wilde—Do I understand you to say that you have made her beautiful for ever ? Witness—Yes. (Great laughter.) Mr. Baron Wilde—Are four applications neces sary ? Witness—Allow me to explain. If a lady is not disfigured or scarred one will be quite sufficient; but I appeal to any medical man whether, if she is, the process must not be repeated. An offer was made to me to pay £5O for a settlement of the claim, but I refused it. Mr. Karslake submitted that the plaintiff ought to be nonsuited, on the ground that there was no evidence to show that the wife had an express or implied authority from her husband to enter into a contract with Madame Rachel in respect of the ena melling process. Mr. Baron Wilde said it would be better to take the opinion of the jury on the point, and, if neces sary, he would give the learned counsel leave to move. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. ASCOT RACES-THURSDAY. In spite of the unfavourable aspect of the weather, very slight diminution was perceptible in the attendance on the Cup-day, either in the stands or upon the course. The former was so crowded that many ladies had difficulty in finding seats, and walking in the enclosure was no easy undertaking. Carriages eight deep were ranged along the railings of the course, from the winning-post to far below the distance; and there is no doubt that more would have been there had the inducement of a sight of Royalty been added to the popularity of a horserace. The programme of the sport was ample, ten events having to be decided ; but two only seemed to rivet the attention of the spectators— the Cup and the Xetv Stakes. Until the first of these (standing forth on the card) had been run, the threatening rain held off, but began to fall in a few minutes afterwards, and rendered the hour of luncheon uncomfortable. Among the many improvements noticeable on and about the race ground it was matter of wonder to ladies and gentlemen in the stand that the name of the race to be run for was not shown upon the new telegraph, above the numbers and names of the horses and their jockeys. The business portion of the sport began by a walk-o'er, and a fractious horse ran away with his little rider before going to the post for the second race ; the lad threw himself off, but was not hurt. The Cup afforded a most exciting contest, the winner and the second having raced together stride for stride from the half-distance to the judge's chair; Zetland showing him self to be a very good horse in a long and truly-run race. Lord W. Powlett immediately afterwards gave Mr. Jack son 2,500 guineas for Tim Whiffler, and in two hours the horse was saddled for the Royal Stand Plate, which be won with ease after making the whole of the running. Blue Mantle displayed his quality and his constitution by win ning the New Stakes with as much ease as the Triennial on Wednesday. It was a subject of general remark that an equal number of good horses to that which has appeared at Ascot this week has not for many years been brought out at any race meeting. Betting on future events was at a standstill, and the abundant sport was not brought to a conclusion until 20 minutes past 7 o'clock. • Special and ordinary trains, 27 in number, ran between Ascot and Waterloo after half-past 5 o'clock. It is needless to add that they were all well filled. The St. James's Palace Stakes, of 100 soya each, h ft., for 3-yr-olds ; colts, Bfit 71b, and fillies, Sat 41b ; maidens allowed 71b.

Straight A Parliamentary return has just been issued, on the motion of Mr. Ingham, exhibiting the number and ionnage of the sailing and steam vessels registered at each port of the United Kingdom, &c., shipping entered and cleafed) &c. These returns are made up to the 31st of Dec. last. The numbers of vessels registered in the three kingdoms are—Sailing vessels of and under 50 tons 9,866, tonnage 301,885 ; sailing vessels above 50 tons 16,039, tonnage 3,998,C33; steam vessels of and under 50 tons 857, tonnage 19,745, steam vessels above 50 tons 1,276, tonnage 486,563. The tables showing the coasting trade prove that foreign vessels participate in this trade to a very trifling extent. In the trade with our colonies foreign shipping is employed to a considerably greater number—British sailing ships entered inwards from the colonies 5,437, tonnage 2,109,854 foreign ships 876, tonnage 494,690. This is exclusive of steam vessels employed in the colonial trade. Of these, 661, of 196,578 tonnage, entered inwards, while only two foreign steam vessels, tonnage 928, entered our ports from the colonies. With respect to the trade to foreign ports we will take the numbers cleared from our ports. Firstly, willing vessels, with respect to which it will be found that the foreign shipping is greatly in excess of our own so em ployed. British ships 17,809, tonnage 3,149,454; fcreign. ships 24,993, tonnage 4,806,225. This, however, is inde pendent of the amount of the same trade by steam vessels, where the excess is, on the other hand, large in British against foreign vessels. Exclusive of the steam trade to foreign ports from the Channel Islands (included in the previous parts of this abstract in British shipping, but which is very small), the number of British steam vessels cleared outwards for foreign ports was 6,098, tonnage 2,062,158; foreign steam vessels 1,058, tonnage 306,628. Here the great disparity in the foreign trade between steam and sailing vessels in very remarkable. COUNTRY 21.1A1?KI1 15. I , MANCHESTER-JUNE 19.

THE NORFOLK ISLANDERS.—We have obtained some further particulars respecting the social condition of the Norfolk Islanders, recently visited by his Excellency Sir John Young, which will, we believe, be received with the interest that attaches to that isolated and singuiar com munity. It should be remembered that the Norfolk Islanders, are half-castes, being the descendants of the mutineers of the Bounty, who intermarried with Otaheitan women ; to which circumstance is ascribed their want of enterprise and activity as compared with Europeans, though they contrast favourably in respect with the natives of tho South Sea Islands, The total number of persons on the island at the date of his Excellency's visit was 268. Since the formation of the settlement there had been eighty-two births, eleven marriages, and eleven deaths. This latter number included several infants, and also sonic who had died from accidents, proving that the increase in the popu lation has been very rapid. In further proof of this fact we may mention that one family numbered fourteen in all, six families numbered each eleven, and one numbered ten.-- Sydney Herald. [ADVERTISEMENT.]—HoIIoway's Ointment and Pills— The Anchor of Hope.—lf there be one description of human knowledge superior to all others, it is the knowledge of the means of preserving or regaining health—wanting which existence is a mockery—death a relief. Holloway's twin medicaments supply chi 3 groat dooidoratum. 111 all diseases they are beneficial, because they purify the blood, from which every portion of the body must inevitably be re newed. The ointment, by friction, relaxes, penetrates, and then exerts its regulating and wholesome influence on the skin and underlying organs. In this way the stomach, lungs, liver, and kidneys can be effectively reached and in vigorated—especially if Holloway's pills be sunuitaneously taken to aid in the work of purification and regeneration: BIRTHS• Esq., of a daughter.
