LAW I NTELLIGENCE —(This Day). COURT OF QUEEN' BENCH. (Before the Lord Chief Justice and a Special Jury.) lIAZLEWOOD V. WIDDRINGTON. T hiS action, which c ommence d yesterday, was to recover coup— imusation in damages for an alleged misrepresentation relative to the value of the incumbency of St. Michael's, C oventry. The Plaintiff, the Rev. Mr. Hazlewood, was formerly in elonbent of St. M ar k' s Church, Marylebone, and in 1863 he wished to make an exchange, and he negotiated with the defendant, who was the incumbent of St. Michael's, Uoventry for that purpose, and ultimately the exchange teak Place, after a most voluminous correspondence had altatsesed riding the parti es re l a ti ve t o th e var i ous sources of in come belon g i ng to the two livings, and the expenses ndi them.- An endeavour, it was stated, had been b m ade to r e f er the matters in dispute to the bishop of the se, as the best tribunal for deciding the points at issue, failed. St. Mark's, Marylebone, was built in 1847, and the income was derived from pew rents, which produced about f i l °° ° Per annu m , an d a b out £l2O in fees. The pew rents so received were t o be applied to the following purposes : £6OO or the stipend of the incumbent, celebration of divine ser 'of r ice, repairs and insurance of that fabric ; the payment the interest of the borrowed money, and£2oo a year to wards the reduction of the debt, the surplus out of the £lOO going to the incumbent. The surplus pew rents at one ti ttle Were about £3OO, a valuable addition to be made by asY clergyman whose doctrines were acceptable to the P ar ishioner s , an d as the sinking fund was diminished the 4. , l ille asle would i ncrease i n the end to between £270 and of a year. At the time of the exchange the net income fro St. Mark's was about £7OO per annum. The defendant, p lai ntiff alleged, re p resen t e d t o hi m th a t th e income from f --- Pew rents was a b out £3OO per annum, £lOO a y ear -I°lll f ees, £BO a year f or a thi r d serv i ce , an d £lOO a year out of a local rate levied for the purposes of the church. The curate's stipends, he said, were paid by the Additional Curates Society and the Pastoral Aid Society. The gross income was therefore £5BO, which, defendant said, there was ev ery reason to believe, would at no distant period be in creased to £2,000, certainly to £l,OOO a year from the rate 6 f ls • i n the pound on houses over £lO a year rent, and of d. on houses under that amount. When the parties met at Coventry the defendant produced his books, and he repre sented that he had received for the year £512 from the 3d. rate on the parishioners, £73 for fees, and £BO for the third ! rv iee, making together the net revenue of £695. The plaintiff, after he got to Coventry, found out that the in come of St. Michael's only amounted to about £370 in stead of £695 ; and it had since been discovered, from a C OPY of the defendant's banker's book, and his applications thatthe income had never amounted to the sum re presented. It was said that in 1860 the defendant repre sented to the Additional Curates Society the net income to be £295 ; in 1861, to be £290 ; in 1862 the income was represented to be nothing, owing to the outgoings having absorbed the revenues, it being the year of the great dis tress at Coventry. The net income was represented to the P astoral Aid Society in 1860 to be under £3OO ; in 1861, at £2BO ; and in 1862, at £350. With regard to the £BO for the additional service, the plaintiff found that he had to pay that sum to the curate. A sum of £4O a year as stipend from t he War-office for acting as chaplain to the forces, was men tioned might be resumed at any time, but the plaintiff found out that the arrangements for the troops rested entirely with the adjutant -general of the forces, and at that time the troops went to Mr. Harris's church. The plaintiff now s ought to recover from the defendant for the difference of value between the income of St. Mark's and St. Michael, W hich at ten years' purchase would amount to £3,680, and a further sum of £2,680 on a like calculation, the additional sung that would have been received on the extinction of the debt On St. Mark's. The attempt which failed yesterday to decide the matter by a reference was successful this morning, as it was to greed bea rbitrationtwn the parties to submit the matter in dispute ee COURT OP PROBATE AND DIVORCE.

An ironclad on a new principle discovered by the Emperor of the French is now being constructed at Toulon. It is called Le Choc, carries no guns, and only acts by its weight and speed, sinking the ships it attacks by breaking them to pieces. The Right Hon. Lord Lyttelton will take the chair at Willis's Rooms, on Monday next, the 15th inst., at 3 p.m., at the annual meeting of the National Colonial Emigration Society. Several influential persons connected with the various British colonies are expected to address the meeting. A floating construction, containing a steam engine, and used by MM. Martin and Belleville as a factory for dyeing and cleansing woo], was destroyed two days back by fire while moored in an arm of the Seine near Elbeul. The total loss is estimated at 25,000 fr. The disaster is supposed to have been caused by the igniting of portion of the woodwork near the chimney of the steam engine. STEAM SHIPBUILDING ON THE CLYDE.—The Dela ware, screw, built by Messrs. Tod and Macgregor, has made a satisfactory run from the Clyde to Liverpool. The dimensions of the Delaware are as follows :—Length, 284 ft ; breadth, 39ft. ; depth, 271 ft. ; burden, 2,108 tons, old measurement. She is fitted with trunk engines of 350 horse power nominal. The Old Dominion and City of Petersburg, lately employed as blockade-runners, have been thoroughly overhauled on the Clyde preparatory to being put on the Liverpool and Dublin station. Messrs. Hedderwick and Co. have launched a saloon paddle named the Aerial, in tended to be employed for pleasure purposes upon the Tamar and other Devonshire rivers. She is 120 ft. long by 14ft. and 7ft., and is being fitted with oscillating engines by Messrs. James Bennie• and Co., of the Caledonian Foundry, The new steamer,Kyles, built for the Wemyss Bay Steamboat Company, and intended to ply in connection with the Wemyss Bay Railway, has made a trial trip, in which she attained a speed of 171 miles per hour (having " run the lights" in 52 min. 40 sec.), with a pressure of steam of 271 b. per square inch. TRADE OF THE SOUTH WALES PORTS.—During the month of April 24,507 tons of coal were exported from Newport, against 27,985 tons in March, and 23,709 tons in the corresponding month of last year. Coastwise the shipments reached 48,517 tons, as compared with 55,039 tons in the previous month, and 47,774 tons in April, 1864. These returns show an increase, although not a large one, in both the export and coasting trades, but there would have been a larger increase had not tonnage been rather scarce during the month. Swansea exported 47,668 tons, against 50,191 tons in March, and 47,630 tons in the corresponding month of last, and the shipments coastwise were 24,171 tons, as compared with 24,847 tons in the previous month, and 24,251 tons in April, 1864. The exports from Llanelly reached 18,320 tons, against 17,145 tons in February, and 13,927 tons in the corresponding month of last year, and the coasting shipments were 24,812 tons, as compared with 19,923 tons in the previous month, and 26,494 tons in April, 1864. Swansea also exported 6,406 tons of patent fuel and 1,832 tons of iron. The iron exports from Newport leached 6,619 tons against 7,276 tons in the previous month. rtE - SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVEN. 100 iOO 100 100 100 190 100 100 F 0 100 100 H M ISIONS. 55 68 102 103 pr ip 4 4, 65 70 9g 101 75 95 111 103 101 103 IL3 104 $1 ) 18; 14, E 5 88 64 66 54 56 55 57 47 4.) 45 44 43 45 25 27 25 26 103 101 i }P i IP 94 96 93 95 93 95 82 84 8! 84 103 106 104 106 11,5 107 106 108 105 107 109 112 103 105 105 107 107 109 102 103 92 95 99 101 93 95 91 93 104 106 88 90 04 08 103 105 INES. 1031 1 103 j 1 101 } 10 i 102 11 1011 ,ITIES. 83i 3 POLICE 'INTELLIGENCE,— This Day. WESTMINSTER. ASSAULTING A FATHER AND MOTllER.—Michael Cosgrove was charged with violently assaulting his father and mother on the previous evening. John Cosgrove, Greycoat-street, labourer, said—This is my son ; he won't work, and wants me - to keep him. Last night at 10 I was with my wife. He came in and took bread and everything out of the place. I told him to go, and he struck me several times in the nose and face, and kicked me. I found him good employment and he would not go to it ; he gets drunk and wants me to keep him. He is sponging upon me Always and won't work. [Witness exhibited a black eye and a cut nose.] Sarah Cosgrove—This is my son. He came in last night ; I advised him not to go in, but he did and wanted to go to bed. We would not let him. He made a kick on my arm ; I don't know that it was meant for me. He could work if he liked, but he won't. He pulled the hair out of my head. Prisoner had nothing to say. Dennis, the gaoler, said he had been there for drunken ness and felony several times. Mr. Selfe said this sort of conduct would not do, and asked defendant why he did not work. Defendant made no reply, and refused to have anything to say to his father or mother. Mr. Selfe said he could not expect them to keep him; he would not worKit appeared, but he should do so now. He was sentenced to two months' hard labour, Prisoner said, very coolly, " thank you," and asked some of his companions in the body of the court to come and see him. THAMES. THE SCOTCHMAN IN LONDON.—Mr. John Dickson, a Scotch shipowner, aged 50, with a rubicund face, which indicated, in a most unmistakeable manner, his devotions to Bacchus, was brought before Mr. Partridge, on a warrant, charged with refusing to pay a Gab .fare. James Goodwin, driver of the cab 2,979, and wearing the badge 3,916, stated that he took up the prisoner at the St. Katherine Dock Hotel, Upper East Smithfield, on the evening of the 20th of April, and drove him to Wardrobe place, Doctors'-commons, back to the Minories, Aldgate, and St. Katherine's then westward to the Argyll Rooms, in Windmill-street, Haymarket, where he made a short stay, and then visited the Holborn Casino. He finally drove the prisoner back to his hotel and demanded his fare. The prisoner said he had "nae Biller," and could not pay him. He took out a summons, to which the prisoner did not appear, and ho then obtained a warrant. He had lost two days at the police court, and this was his third appearance. _ _ _ The prisoner said the cab-driver took his pocketbook from him, and he wanted it, for it contained papers of im portance and value. Goodwin—The prisoner gave me his pocketbook, and told me to keep it until he paid the fare. Here it is. The pocketbook was handed to the prisoner, who said the contents had not been disturbed. He never refused to pay the fare. (A laugh.) Mr. Partridge—Then pay him now. The Prisoner—Nae, mon; I hae nee money this side the Tweed. Mr. Partridge—DO you expect the cab-driver to go to the other side of the Tweed for the money. The prisoner said if the cab-driver would accompany him to his hotel he would pay the money. Howland, an officer of the court, No. 89 H, said there were eight or nine other cab-drivers who had similar de mands on the prisoner, who could not pay them, and that he had been riding about Loudon for several days, and had pretty well nigh exhausted the bounty of his friends. The prisoner was a master mariner, and called himself a ship owner, because he had "two halves" in a vessel. The prisoner denied riding in the complainant's cab at any time. Mr. Partridge said the prisoner had no right to indulge in the luxury of cabs if he had no money to pay the fares. He ordered him to pay 12s. for six hours' cab fare, ss. for the complainant's loss of time, 2s. for the summons, and 2s. for the warrant. In default the prisoner must be impri soned in the House of Correction for seven days. At the prosecutor's urgent request the Scotchman was permitted to leave the Court with Sergeant Baker, of the police van, who said he would accompany him to the St. Katherine's Hotel. How VERY AFFECTING !—All eyes which intend to be present at the drawing-room on the 18th inst., says the Queen, are anxiously turned towards Brussels, a's every thing depends on the issue of the King's illness as to what toilettes will be worn on the occasion. JOHN GEORGE PHILLIMORE, Q.C.—To under take an important historical work would seem to be attended with fatal consequences. Fox, Mackintosh, and Macaulay were all struck down before the " Histories of England" on which they were engaged had been nearly completed. To these honoured names we must now add that of one whose qualifications were nearly as great as any of them, but whose performances have not attracted the attention excited by the achievements of each of them, the name of John George Phillimore. The instalment we have of his history is of a character to make us desire to see it completed. In one respect he was unfitted for writ ing a comprehensive history. Whatever had not been done by Tacitus, should not, he thought, be attempted by any other historian. Because Tacitus knew nothing of some of the " ologies" which are now supposed to bo in cluded in every educational programme, therefore, Mr. Phillimore argued, such knowledge was to be despised by modern historians. Moulding his style on that of the classical writers, Mr. Phillimore hoped thereby to produce some of their effects. The result was failure and conse quent disappointment. Nevertheless, he showed so ardent a desire to eliminate truth from action, so much courage in stating opinions opposed to those which are fashionable, so strong a determination to uphold what he believed to be true against all gainsayers, that he commanded our respect when he did not gain our approbation. We are glad to learn that, when death overtook him, another volume was nearly ready for publication of his " History of England." —The Reader. WEDGWOOD'S RELATIVES.—It has been hitherto assumed that Wedgwood was born in a mean hovel, surrounded by the rudest associations, and whilst yet a child consigned to the coarsest drudgery. The facts, as we find, were essentially different. His father, as we have seen, was a man in easy, if not in affluent circumstances. His relatives, Aaron Wedgwood and Dr. Thomas Wedg wood, jun., were persons of position in their native place. The latter was a man of the nicest skill in his art, and for those days extremely well educated. His handwriting is that of a gentleman. John and Thomas Wedgwood, the sons of Aaron, who commenced business in 1740, and in 18 to 20 years from that date had acquired . a for tune and built the handsomest house in Burslem, where, when Josiah Wedgwood was a child, active and intelligent young men, busy in improving their staple, and as keenly alive to the commercial needs, as to the intense spirit of industry then taking growth through out the country. A few years later, when they lattd erected their conspicuous dwelling, and earned comparative leisure, their hospitable hearth became a gathering-place for men of keen and active intelligence. Here Brindley, Thomas Gilbert, the Duke of Bridgewater's agent, John and Hugh Henshall, father and son, met to discuss the various plans then afloat, for eonstructing and improving roads and flint mills, and the first surveys for canal navigation. Other of Josiah Wedgwood's relations held an equally influential position in their native place ; and as to a simplicity of habits and manners, such prevailed everywhere. It is also certain that the worthy and substantial class from which Wedgwood sprang were, generally speaking, as well edu cated as the greater portion of the gentry.—Meteyard's Life of Wedgwood. A TIGER ANECDOTE.-- 1 believe that face to face a tiger will not attack a human being, unless he displays a thorough want of nerve ; the Malays are also of this opinion, but express it differently. They say that "if you will only speak to a tiger, and tell it that it can get plenty of food in the jungle beside you, the animal will be persuaded, and leave you unmolested. Unfortunately, few get the chance to speak to tho tigers in this way, because, as I have stated, they almost invariably steal up behind those they intend to attack I have, how ever, heard the following account told by an old Malay of an attack which he prevented by an appeal to the better nature of the animal. He was returning home after a visit to town to his house at Selita, along that part of the road which I have described as being the most hs andthickly surrounded by jungle. He h a d hi s little child, a boy of seven or eight years old, slung b e hi n d hi m, an d both were contentedly chewing away saw a tiger jagong,atering downright creucwhhen eves apparently p re p ar i ng f or a th s e pr father nsgo nd.uc: on an front Calling gdtfto a that they appeared to arrest theo lifting mindofup nd him, the old sayi ng, h e gaspe d out a few tiger, but being anxious not to risk the life of his son, he moved slowly backwards to a tree which he remembered to have passed a few yards behind. The tiger advanced upon him step for step as ho retreated. When the old man's back touched the tree, ho told his son t o c li m b u p. This the boy did, and the father, r e li eve d o f anx i ety on his account, drew his wood-knife and commenced an ad vance, arguing all the while with the keenest logic— sharpened no doubt by the occasion—that it would be infinitely better for both to part without quarrelling. This advance and retreat continued for about fifty yards, when the tiger, either persuaded by the logic, or daunted by the bravery of the man, turned tail, and bolted into the jungle.—Our Tropical Possessions in Malayan India, by J. Cameron. MILITARY SUBORDINATION IN THE UNITED STATES.—The Avenir Arational of yesterday says :—" Since we are to receive our great lessons from America, there is one which we must record ; it is the respectful subordina tion of the military to the civil authority. Sherman, so brilliant in his recent campaign—Sherman, to whom so much homage has been rendered for his incomparable merits—Sherman is publicly disavowed by the civil Govern ment, and he accepts this disavowal with respect and obe dience, faithful to democratic discipline, and showing as much eagerness to submit to the decisions of the chiefs who have given him the law as to advance against the enemy. We have rejoiced to see American events cont r ib u t e so powerfully to enlighten the pubhc:mind of Europe by these teachings." NG, MAY 13, 1865. A Conversation with General Lee. The New York Herald of the 29th ult. has a long letter from a special correspondent, giving some account of a conversation at Richmond with Gen. Lee. Writing from Richmond on the 24th ult., the correspondent says : In order, if possible, to get some clear light for the solution of the new complications growing out of the murder of President Lincoln I yesterday sought and obtained an interview with that distin guished soldier and leader of the rebel armies, Gen. Robert E. Lee, and was permitted to draw out his views on the very important questions suggested. It is proper to say that my reception was every thing that could be expected from a gentleman who has always been considered a type of the once famous chivalry, and, I had almost said, nobility of Virginia. Pen and ink sketches of General Lee have been so numerously made of late, by news paper writers, that any attempt at this time by me in that direction would be a work of supererogation. I may simply say, that the firm step, the clear voice, the bright, beaming countenance, the quick intelli gence, the upright form, and the active manner of the general very strongly belie the portraitures of him which are so common. All the vigour and animation and ability of ripe manhood are promi nently conspicuous in his bearing. His venerable white hair and beard simply inspire respect for the mature ideas and deliberate expressions that come from this conspicuous rebel leader, but in nowise convey an impression of decay or old age. It will not be possible to relate the extended con versation that ensued with any approach to exact ness, no notes having been taken, and it will not, therefore, be attempted ; but I will confine myself to a record of the views expressed by General Lee on several prominent topics, as I understood him to express himself. The general's attention was directed to his written and spoken determination to draw his sword in defence only of his native State, and the inquiry was raised as to what he considered the de fence of Virginia, and what degree of deliberation he had given to that expression. He stated that, as a firm and honest believer in the doctrine of State rights, he had considered his allegiance due primarily to the State in which he was born and where he had always resided. And although he was not an advo cate of secession at the outset, when Virginia seceded he honestly believed it his duty to abide his fortune. He opposed secession to the last, foreseeing the ruin it was sure to entail. But when the state withdrew from the Union he had no recourse, in his views of honour and patriotism, but to abide her fortunes. He went with her, intending to remain merely a private citizen. When he resigned his commission in the United States army he had no intention of taking up arms in any other service, and least of all in a service antagonistic to the United States. His state, however, called for him, and entertaining the fixed principles he did of state sovereignty, he had no alternative but to accept the service to which he was called. When he made use of the declarations that have been so extensively quoted of late, he had accepted only a commission from Virginia. Subse quently, when Virginia attached herself to the Southern Confederacy, the same political impres sions impelled him to follow her, and when he ac cepted service under the rebel government he did so on the principle that he was defending his native state. And yet, by the act of accepting such service, he was bound in honour to serve in any part of the Confederacy where he might be called without re ference to state lines ; and the reconciliation with his former avowal, if any were necessary, was found in the fact that Virginia, standing or falling with the other Southern States, in defending them all he was defending the one to which he considered his allegiance primarily due. As to the effect of his surrender, he was free to say it was a severe blow to the South, but not a crushing blow. It was of mili tary, not political significance. I asked, was not that surrender a virtual surrender of the doctrine of state rights ? By no means the general replied. When the South shall be wholly subdued, there will then undeni ably be a surrender of that doctrine. But the surrender of a single army is simply a military necessity. The army of Northern Virginia was surrendered because further resistance on its part would only entail a useless sacrifice of life. But the army was merely a part of the force of the South. When the South shall be forced to surrender all its forces and returns to the union, it indisputably, by that act, surren ders its favourite doctrine of secession. That prin ciple will then be settled by military power. On the question of state sovereignty the general contends that there exists a legitimate casus belli. In the :convention that formed the organic law of thejand, the question of defining the relative powers of the States, and their relation to the general go vernment, was raised, but after much discussion was dropped and left unsettled. It has remained so un settled until the present time. This war is destined to set it at rest. It is unfortunate that it was not settled at the outset ; but as it was not settled then, and had to be settled at some time, the war raised on this issue cannot be considered treason. If the South is forced to submission in this contest, it of course can only be looked upon as the triumph of Federal power over state rights, and the forced annihilation of the latter. With reference to the war in the abstract, the general declared it as his honest belief that peace was practicable two years ago, and has been prac ticable from that time to the present day whenever the general government should see fit to seek it, giving any reasonable chance for the country to escape the consequences which the exasperated North seemed determined to impose. The South has, during all this time, been ready and anxious for peace. 'They have been looking for some word or expression of compromise or conciliation from the North upon which they might base a return to the Union. They were not prepared, nor are they yet, to come and beg for terms ; but were ready to accept any fair and honourable terms, their own political views being considered. The question of slavery did not lay in the way at all. The best men of the South have long been anxious to do away with this institution, and were quite willing to-day to see it abolished. They consider slavery for ever dead. But with them, in relation to this subject the question has ever been, " What will you do with the freed people ?" This is the serious question to-day, and one that cannot be winked at. It must be met practically and treated intelligently. The negroes must be disposed of, and if their dispo sition can be marked out, the matter of feeing them is at once settled. But unless some humane course is adopted, based on wisdom and Christian principles, you do a gross wrong and injustice to the whole negro race in setting them free. And it is only this consideration that has led the wisdom, intelligence, and Christianity of the South to:support'and defend the institution up to this time. The assassination of the President was spoken of. The general considered this event in itself one of the most deplorable that could have occurred. As a crime it was unexampled and beyond execration. It was a crime that no good man could approve from any conceivable motive. Undoubtedly the effort would be made to fasten the responsibility of it upon the South ; but, from his intimate acquaintance with the leading men of the South, he was confident there was not one of them who would sanction or approve it. The scheme was wholly unknown in the South before its execution, and would never have received the slightest encouragement had it been known ; but, on the contrary, the most severe exe cration. I called the general's attention, at this point, to a notice that had been printed in the Nor thern papers, purporting to have been taken from a paper published in the interior of the South, pro posing, for the sum of one million of dollars, to un dertake the assassination of the President and his Cabinet. The general affirmed . that he had never seen nor heard of such a proposition, nor did he believe it had ever been printed in the South ; though if it had, it had been permitted merely as the whim of some crazy person that could possibly amount to nothing. Such a crime was an anomaly in the history of our country, 1 1 and we had yet before its perpetration to learn that it was possible either of earnest conception or actual execution. It was a most singular and remarkable expression to escape the lips of such a man as General Lee, that " the South was never inure than half in earnest in this war." I cannot attempt to translate this remark or elucidate it. Its utterance conveyed to me the impression that the South was most heartily sick of the war, and anxious to get back into the Union and to peace. The general added that they went off after political leaders in a moment of passion and under the excitement of fancied wrongs, honestly believing that they were entering a struggle for an inalienable right and a fundamental principle of their political creed. A man should not be judged harshly for contending for that which he honestly believes to be right. Such was the position of the vast majority of the Southern people now. And now that they are defeated they consider that they have lost everything that is worth contending for in the Government. They have sacrificed home, friends, property, health, all on this issue. Men do not make such sacrifices for nothing. They have made the sacrifice from honest convictions. And now that they have lost in the issue they feel that they have no interest left in this country. It is the opinion of General Lee that unless moderation and liberality be exercised towards them the country will lose its best people. Already, he says, they are seeking to expatriate themselves, and numerous schemes are started to go to mexico, to Brazil, to Canada, to France, or elsewhere. He is called upon frequently to discountenance and suppress such undertakings. The country needs these young men. They are its bone and sinew, its intelligence and enterprise, its hope for the future, and wisdom de mands that no effort be spared to keep them in the country and pacify them. It was a most noticeable feature of the conversation that General Lee, strange as it may appear, talked throughout as a citizen of the United States. He seemed to plant himself on the national platform, and take his observations from that standpoint. He talked calmly, deliberately, earnestly, but with no show of interest other or different from what might be expected from an honest believer in his peculiar opinions. The conversation, which had been greatly protracted, so much so that I became uneasy for fear of trespassing on time that I had no right to claim, terminated with some allusions to the terms of peace. Here there was, perhaps naturally and properly, more reticence than on any other topic. But it was plain from what transpired that the only question in the way of immediate peace was thetreat ment to be accorded the vanquished. Everything else, by implication, seems to be surrendered. Slavery, state rights, the doctrine of secession, and whatever else of political policy may be involved in the strife is abandoned, the only barrier to an immediate and uni versal suspension of hostilities and return to the Union being the treatment the national authorities may pro mise those who have been resisting its power and para - mount authority. It is proper to say that this was not so stated by General Lee, but is simply an inference from the conversation that took place on that topic. On the contrary, the general seemed very cautious in regard to terms. In order to get at his views, if pos sible, I suggested the conservative sentiment of the North, which proposed a general amnesty to all sol diers and military officers, but that the political leaders of the South be held to a strict accountability. " Would that be just ?" he asked. " What has Mr. Davis done more than any other Southerner that he should be punished ? It is true he has occupied a pro minent position as the agent of a whole people, but that has made him no more nor less a rebel than the rest. His acts were the acts of the whole people, and the acts of the whole people were his acts. He was not accountable for the commencement of the struggle. On the contrary, he was one of the last to give in his adherence to the secession movement, having strenu ously opposed it from the outset and portrayed its ruinous consequences in his speeches and by his writings. Why, therefore, should he suffer more than others ?" Of course it was not my province to discuss these questions, and as this illustration disclosed the bent of the General's mind it was all that I desired to know. In taking leave of the General, I took occasion to say that he was greatly respected by a very large body of good men at the North, and that as a soldier he was universally admired, and that it was earnestly hoped that he would yet lead an army of the United States troops in the enforcement of the Monroe doctrine. He thanked me for the expression of Northern sentiment towards himself, but as for more fighting he felt that he was getting too old; his only desire now being to be permitted to retire to private life and end his days in seclusion. It was, I thought, an evidence of painful sadness of heart that prompted the added expression that he would have been pleased had his life been taken in any of the nunlerous battle-fields on which he had fought during this war. The Costs of the Schleswig-Holstein War, (REUTER'S EXPRESS.) ' BERLIN, May 9. At the sitting of the Chamber of Deputies to-day Finance Minister von Bodelschwingh brought in a report upon the Danish war, with an account of the expenses thereby incurred. He said :—" This report contains an account of the political circum stances which led to the war, and the measures it became necessary to take. The expenses are stated in the accompanying accounts. As I consider the ordinary committee might not be adequate to decide the business part of the question, I recommend its reference to a special committee. President GRAnow—Although reference to the committee on the budget might, perhaps, be ad visable. I think, on no account of the extreme im portance of the matter, the appointment of a special committee would be desirable. Deputy STAVENHAGEN moved that the report should be printed before the House determined upon further proceedings, which was acceded to. The following extracts are taken from the account of the war expenses : The war expenditure includes-1. For the War Ministry—a. Expenses of one mobilisation, 2,144,097 thalers ; b. Costs of artillery and fortifications, 4,256,900 thalers ; c. Current expenditure, so far as not covered by the means of current administration, 12,121,463 thalers ; making in all a sum of 18,522,460 thalers. Of this amount 8,256,900 thalers are in arrear. For the Marine, a, Expenses annexed to general cost, 998,013 thalers; b. Ex traordinary war expenditure, 549,758 thalers ; c. Costs occasioned specially by the war, 2,122,932 thalers, making in all 3,670,704 thalers, 707,450 of which are still in arrear. 3. Postal and tele graphic administration 288,613 thalers. A review of the State revenue and expenditure for 1864 follows, showing that there would have been a balance of 14,224,877 thalers. The costs of the war, however, amounting to 22,481,777, a deficit of 8,256,900 thalers still remains to be sup plied. The note of February 22 last is appended to the report, which contains the terms upon which Prussia is willing to settle the Schlewig-Holstein question. These relate to-1. Alliance and association of the Schleswig-Holstein and Prussian armies and fleets ; 2. The Holstein Federal con tingent ; 3. The Federal fortress of Sonderburg ; 4. The cessions of territory of Sonderburg, Fried richsort, and the surrounding districts, for the con struction of a Prussian war harbour in Kiel Bay, and for forts at the issues of the canals ; 5. The Baltic and North Sea canal ; 6. Accession to the Zollverein ; and, lastly, to traffic arrangements (postal and telegraphic service). At the close of this appendix it is said, " The surrender of the Duchies to the future Sovereign will follow upon guarantee for the execution of the previous condi tions. If they should not come to pass, Pr uss i a will re-enter upon the rights secured to her by the treaty of Vienna, and reserves to herself the privi lege of validating all other claims appertaining to her with regard to the Duchies. The report concludes with a motion that Parlia ment will sanction the application already made by the Treasury of the administrative surplus sums of the past years 1863 and 1864 (amounting to 12,213,436 thalers), together with an amount of 1,304,089 thalers, towards covering the costs of the war against Denmark, and will at the same time declare its approval that the expenses arising out of the same cause for strengthening the artillery and fortifications, amounting to a further sum of 4,256,900 thalers (the right of checking the ac counts being reserved)'shall also he taken from the Treasury according as they may be required.

(REUTER'S TELEGRAM.) SOUTHAMPTON, MAY 13. The Royal Mail Steam Packet Company's ship Tasmanian, from the West Indies, passed Hurst Castle at 1.50 p.m. this day. The Fall of Richmond, A Canadian in Richmond writes to the Montreal Gazette as follows :—" Richmond, Aprills.—After a sharp contest between the rebel' army of less than 50,000 men, and the United States' forces, amounting to about 115,000, the city fell into the hands of the latter, the remains of the ' rebel' army leaving it to its fate, in order to hurry to Danville and there join the army under General Johnston which it failed to do owing to the great cavalry force of the enemy, which headed it off at every road leading to that point, On the 9th the remains of the army under General Lee, numbering from 17,000 to to 20,000 men, was surrendered. For these figures I have the word of General Alexander, C.S.A., Chief of Artillery of the Ist Corps, who is well in formed in the matter. He told me also that the remains of two divisions of cavalry under Generals Fitz Hugh Lee and Rosser cut their way out of the United States' forces, but that Lee returned with a part of his command on hearing of the surrender of his chief. As to the gallant Rosser, he is gone, and they 4o not know where he is. General Lee has lost nothing of his reputation by this reverse. He-made a good fight against great odds, and a rapid and clever retreat. If he had 5,000 or 6,000 good cavalry he would have got away. His force of that arm was about 5,000 men, on half-starved horses ; that of the enemy was about 12,000, and the horses were in good condition. As for this city, from the Capitol, which is on a fine site in the heart of the city, you see a waste of ruins from Main-street to the river. This is the business part of the city, and it was set fire by pillagers, half drunk with " apple jack." The banks are included in the ruins. Nothing but a long row of blackened chim neys now meets the eye where once there was the stir of business. The fine bridge of the Central Railroad over the James is also burnt. This was done by order of the C. S. General commanding the place. I went to Mr. Davis's office, and found it to be a good-sized apartment, with a long oval table, covered with cloth in the centre, and a chair lined with leather by the side of it. This chair was the seat of Mr. Davis up to the time he had to quit the capital. A few large envelopes were lying about, with the words " C. S. of America," " Official busi ness" printed upon them. Confederate States bonds were selling in the street for Sc.. Only think of that ! It tells the tale of the fall of this city morefor cibly than any thing. Many persons were getting them as curiosities. Few persons have been able to come here yet, for it is not easy to obtain a pass. The city and environs are full of interest, and if the city was open to visitors, there would be a flood of them. To many of you, and the officers of the army in particular, the ground covered by the lines of defences in front of Petersburg would be of the greatest interest. It is cut up by a maze of works. Only two divisions of the Army of the James occupy the city—the 3d of the 24th Corps, and the Ist of the 25th Corps (negro)." SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE—This day.

METROPOLITAN MARKET BILL.—In anticipation of the second reading of this bill, which is fixed for Mon day next, meetings have been held in the Camden-road, Holloway, of the residents of the district, with a view of opposing the measure. It is alleged that the market area was expressly reserved for the purpo ses ot• the market in 1857 ; that time has not been giv en to ascertain if the market's requirements will permit any portion of the space to be let off for building; and, further, that if the market do not require the surplus space it is still most objection able, on sanitary grounds, to adapt a scheme for placing the dwellings of the labouring and industrial classes within the walls of a cattle market. 2.
