The Attorney-General has soon commenced his part of the business of the session by moving for leave to bring in a bill for building the Courts of Justice on the new and improved plan lately so much talked of, and pretty generally considered as desir able for many reasons. Of course there are always difficulties in the way of these undertakings, and many objections constantly arise, but still on the whole the scheme seems a notable one, and the learned gentleman's explanation of it plausible enough. lie stated that there had been for some time great material obstacles in the way of conduct ing the administration of the law in the metropolis, and that they were in want of a local habitation for the courts of law worthy of the dignity of the country, and convenient for those who were engaged in transacting business there. This is perfectly true, as hitherto there has been con siderable inconvenience felt on many occasions, in consequence of the time wasted in going from one court to another, and the expense thereby in curred is greatly to be deprecated. The Attorney- General said that it often happened that affairs of this sort take a long time before they are put into practice, and certainly the case he then advocated was an instance in point. It is now nearly thirty years since the subject was first mooted, and, curiously enough, the first person who engaged the attention of the House on the subject was JOSEPH HUME. This does not seem to sanction the argu_ ments of those who look upon this proposal as a plan that will take too much money, and altogether be more plague than profit. Mr. HUME was not one to approve of any unnecessary outlay of the public funds, and indeed was conspicuous for his economistic views on many occasions. He ad vocated this plan on the plea of its being for the public convenience and economy, and doubtless with the far-sighted prescience that distinguishes those of superior intelligence, he can look beyond the immediate outlay to the time when the advan tages of the change would be fully appreciated and prove of benefit and convenience to many. When we consider the reasons which Mr. HUME put for ward, it will appear almost as if he had anticipated what subsequent exponents of the merits of the case could declare on the subject. Ile said that it was desirable th a t all the law courts should be brought as near together as they p oss ibl y cou ld , and that the < <site should be a central one, and in the neighbourhood of those b y whom the business of the law was practically carri e d 0n.,, The reasons, which were then valid, and the causes wlu'chatuclonin duced to make him propose the change, are existence with increased force and greater • gnifi cance, if possible, since the traffic is now mo re Con _ siderable, and the amount of business is largely augmented. The proposition of the Attorney.. General that the site for the new buildings should be in Lincoln's-inn is as perfect in design as can be expected. No better or more convenient locality can be chosen than this central one, and the only singular part of the affair seems that so long a period has been suffered to elapse before anything of a definite character has been done. All those most competent to judge the case from their knowledge of its workings, and best qualified to bear witness from the personal inconvenience that they sustained, have subscribed their opinions over and over again in favour of a change of this sort and description. Surely, then, the time has arrived when theory may give place to practice, and when th design gncan be fairly carried into execution. It is not surprising that the Government should have thus early introduced a measure on this subject, for they must be well acquainted with the delays that so inevitably interpose themselves in the pur suance of any plan, and often render its successful issue impossible, if it be not taken up in good time. If this proposal fail again this year it will not be the fault of those who now so strenuously urge it forward, and it is but justice to render to the Government to say that they have creditably ex erted themselves in this matter. Lax and supine they have, indeed, shown themselves to be in respect to many important changes and desirable reforms, botrpolitical and social ; but now that they have at the eleventh hour of their Parliamentary existence, and perhaps of their own official career, really set themselves in earnest to adopt and advocate a mea sure of this kind, it is to be trusted that the House will not disappoint them of their hopes nor deny to that large class whom this proposal affects the benefit which they desire and the remedial change that has been so long and anxiously sought for. The descriptions given by the Attorney-General speak strongly in favour of the necessity that exists for his measure to be adopted. The crushing and inconvenience now experienced is totally unsuitable to the proper transaction of business, and quite in consistent with what should be the dignity and de corum attendant on the legal affairs of the country. Since the Divorce Court has been added to the Courts of Westminster, the confusion has so greatly increased that the witnesses cannot obtain admis sion in many instances, and are compelled to remain outside until they are summoned to give evidence. The present dispersion of the Courts involves a con siderable loss of time and money, and as such alone it is evident that it is inconsistent with the con venient and profitable despatch of business. Mr. SCULLY brought forward most satisfactory evidence relating to the working of such a scheme in Ireland, where the concentration of the law courts had been successfully tried, and with these fifteen courts there was not one of the London courts, except the Rolls Court, that would bear a compari son. The Attor ney-General, in reply to those who differed from his financial proposals, declared that the whole ex penditure was to be provided by the Treasury, and that " if there was not a fund to make it good, they would bear the expense, but they were satisfied that there was such a fund." It cannot be said that any great or well-founded objections are in the \ way of this scheme for concentrating the Court of Law, while many most important interests demand that it should be adopted. We may therefore indulge in a reasonable expectation that good sense and right judgment will triumph in this instance over the prejudice and partiality that seek to retain the old abuses, and that this year will see the inauguration of a scheme that will con fer a benefit on the community at large, and intro duce a change that cannot fail to bring solid advantage to the numerous class immediately con cerned, while at the same time it is more in keeping with the character of the great commercial country in which it tak es place. We have now before us the text of President DAVIS'S letter to the Southern Congress with refer ence to the proposed appointment of a Commander in-Chief of the Confederate Armies, and it fully bears out the impression of magnanimity and patriotism which the summary of its contents made upon all who read it. So far from being in any degree jealous of the popularity of LEE, or from re senting the dignity which it is designed to confer upon him. JEEFERSON DAVIS takes some pains to demonstrate to the representatives that he has from the first shared their opinion that LEE is the proper person to have the general direction of their forces. He reminds them that when General LEE assumed the command of the army of Northern Virginia he was likewise the head of all the Confede rate armies, but that he declared the incompa tability of retaining the two offices. Either he said he must be relieved of the active duties of command in the field or of the general direction of the other armies. For some time the President, who has never failed to do justice to the merits and abilities of those in concert with him, resisted this request, but at length he says he be came satisfied of the necessity, and therefore, since the choice was left to him, he decided upon reliev ing LEE of the general command, believing, he says, ' that the safety of the capital and the success of the cause depended in a great measure upon LEE'S opposing GRANT at the head of the Virginian army. Since that change, however, DAVIS has frequently wished LEE to reconsider his resolution, but the General has unhesitatingly declared that the double duty was more than he could properly discharge. From this it appears that LEE will not even now immediately assume the office of general commander unless indeed the prolonged in action in Virginia induce him to change his mind and to endeavour by a concentration of purpose and skilful strategy to turn the tide of Confederate disaster in the South. LEE is too shrewd a man, and too clever a tactician, not to appreciate the importance of checking SHERMAN'S further advance, and of saving Wilmington, if possible, so that he may be tempted by consideration of the importance of these objects to accept the direction of the mili tary affairs of the Confederacy. He may, perhaps, be influenced by the evident desire of the Virginians themselves that he should leave their State to other ea urec and d e d e b : t . Therebetake hi m is evidently mh , self:henertely no g his rpreaestenalcearmis in the Old Donlon respecting the immediate move ments of GRANT's redoubtable army. According to the terms of the s Preside n t' letter, the appointment only waits LEE'S own pleasure, for he says in express terms that " whenever it shall be found practicable by General LEE to assume command of all the armies of the Confederate States, with • out withdraw ing from the direct command of the army of Northern Virginia, I will deem it promotive of public inte rests to place him in such command." DAVIS seems to consider the direction of the Virginian force as more important than the command of the other armies of the Confederacy, a conclusion which may ted since promptness, vigour , very much be doub , and concentration have been sadly wanting in op posing SHERMAN'S march. The manner in which the President speaks of LEE affords a striking contrast to LINCOLN'S conduct towards any one whom, he suspects of being a " rival near the throne. " He does not forget in his letter, which is ostensibly addressed to the President of the Virginia Senate, and the Speaker of the Virginia House of Delegates, to pay tribute to the unflinching devotion and untiring energies of that State in the national cause. To prove the sincerity of his promises Mr. DAVIS has signed the bill • creating a General-in-Chief, and, of course, there •is but one opinion as to the man who is to fill the post. It is now confes se d • in Washington that BLAM'S much talked of missi on has been an utter failure, and that he has returned from • Richmond convinced that then is no present hope of a peaceful settlement ME SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVEMNG, FEBRUARY 11, 1865. of the dispute. When he started, according to a Washington despatch on the subject, he was con fident of success. The war was to end and the Union to be restored, though what bonne bouche he had. to offer the Confederates, in order to obtain their consent to what was in fact a wholesale surrender, is not easily seen. At any rate Mr. BLAIR'S return has not fulfilled the expecta tions of his departure. Following the Washington fashion of depreciating the enemy, he declares that he found wrangling and divisions in the rebel camp, that the leaders are so distrustful of each other that none dare assume the responsibility of making terms ; DAVIS watched on every side by enemies, who at the first sign of weakness would spring for ward and overwhelm him ; peace men plentiful in Richmond, but dare not avow themselves. All this sounds very impressive, but the reader is tempted to ask—What are they all afraid of ? If President, leaders, and population generally are all prepared to come to terms with the North, what hinders them from doing so? But Mr. BLAIR says that by rea son of his watchful enemies, DAVIS dare offer no terms except the recognition of Confederate Com missioners, or an armistice of from 30 to 90 days. Neither of these proposals, we are informed, could receive a moment's consideration, and so the mission was a failure. In the North, meanwhile, great irritation exists on the subject. The Radicals declare that the whole scheme was a trick, and has only resulted in benefiting the South, and it is de termined to introduce a resolution in the Senate calling on the President for the production of all the BLAIR-DAVIS correspondence. We have al ways expressed our conviction that the mission would end in smoke, but the North have no cause for surprise or anger. DAVIS and his people, not withstanding their pretended differences, have de clared from the first with singular unanimity that the one condition by which they would stand or fall was the independence of the Confederacy, and, therefore, had they failed to reassert this to Mr. BLAIR, and to make the recognition of their commissioners a primary step to negotiation, they would have been virtually surrendering their cause. Nothing now remains, says the despatch referred to, but the vigorous prosecution of the war, and the consequent disin tegration of the rebel Government. The disintegra tion of the Washington Government is quite as likely—perhaps more so—in spite of Mr. LINCOLN'S stern band ; and if there is disaffection at Rich mond, there is certainly not much content in Wash ington or New York. The same account declares that the Southerners are buoyed up by hopes of Eu ropean recognition, and believe from the action of the Northern Congress towards Mexico that the French will be provoked into recognising them. They might go further, and anticipate a similar re sult from the conduct of the United States Go vernment towards Canada. Sir J. WALsn's re marks in the House of Commons last evening, however much smoothed down by Lord PAL3IER STON, expressed pretty accurately the convictions of the English public with respect to our relations with America, and there can be no doubt that the proceedings at Washington are watched with anxiety and suspicion in this country. We have no great reason to trust either their moderation or their friendship, neither are we prepared to be too easily satisfied with the diplomacy of our Ministers. The experience of their Danish policy is too fresh in our minds for that, and the popular representa tives had better keep a close supervision of official proceedings, or perhaps some fine day Lord PAL MERSTON may walk down to the House of Commons and - inform the members that Canada has been invaded, but that until London is threatened it will not be necessary to interfere. WILLS AND BEQUESTS, (From the Illustrated London News.) The will of the Most Noble Henry Pelham, Duke of Newcastle, K.G., P.C., D.C.L., of Clumber, Notts, and of Portman-square, was proved in her Majesty's Court of Probate by two of the execu tors and trustees—viz., the Right Hon. William Ewart Gladstone and the Right Hon. George Warren Baron de Tabley, power being reserved to Lord Robert Clinton (the testator's brother) to prove hereafter. The personalty was sworn under £250,000. The will is of considerable length, and there are six codicils. His grace has charged his estates with liberal annuities for his younger sons, as also for his grace's brothers, Lord Robert and Lord Thomas Clinton, appointing his son, the present duke, residuary legatee. To each of his executors acting, he has left £2OO, and to his valet a legacy of £2oo.—The will of the late Earl of Mor ley was proved last week in the Court of Probate, at Exeter, by the executors, the Countess of Mor ley (his widow) and Mr. Augustus G. Stapleton. The personalties are sworn under £30,000. The whole of the large landed estates are left to the pre sent earl, his only son. To his wife he leaves £BOO a year for life ; and to his only daughter, Lady Ka therine Parker, he leaves a legacy of £2,ooo—in both cases, in addition to previous arrangements. There are no other legacies.—The will of Mr. Geo. Dodd, F.S.A., formerly M.P. for Maidstone, late of Grosvenor-place, was proved in the Lon don court under £200,000. The executors and trustees appointed are Messrs. Joseph W. Thrupp, W. H. Bodkin, Lewis Powell, M.D., and Alfred W. Holmes, to each of whom he has left a legacy of £5OO, as well as an annuity of £2O each during the period they are acting. To his wife he has left a certain rental from a portion of his free hold estates for life, as also a legacy of £7,000 and an immediate sum of £5OO, and has appointed her residuary legatee of the real and personal estate for life. To his son, George Ashley Dodd, he has left his leasehold estates on his attaining the age of 23, and to his daughter certain freeholds on her attain ing the age of 21. His son and daughter are also reversionary residuary legatees. There is an annuity of £2OO to his wife's mother, and a further legacy to his executor, J. W. Thrupp, of £l,OOO, and lega cies to his servants. The following are the charitable bequests :—To the Royal Institution, the Artists' Benevolent Fund, St. George's Hospital, Middlesex Hospital, and Lock Hospital, each £lOO ; Society to Relieve Small Debtors and the Dramatic College each £5O ; and to the Royal Humane Society £2OO. The will of Mr. James Haydock Hill, of Newbold Firs, Leamington, was proved in London on the Ist inst., and the personalty sworn under £120,000, the trustees and executors nominated being his sons, Mr. James and Mr. George Hill, and his son-m -law, Mr. F. H. G. Nicolls. The will is dated 1863 and he died on the 21st of December last. The be quests are confined to the members of his family. Ile has left to each of his six daughters legacies vary ing from £lO,OOO to £12,000, and has made a libe ral provision for the daughter of his late son Henry. The residue of his property he has divided among his four sons, to whom some specific bequests are likewise made. In the will of the late Lord Manners, given last week, the title was incorrectly described as Baron Sutton, his lordship being the grandson of Lord George Manners Sutton and nephew of Archbishop Sutton. THE BISHOP OF LONDON AND MR. BELLEw A gentleman named Forster, who appears not to like the readings of the Rev. J. M. Bellew, has written to the Bishop of London (enclosing some of the rev. gentleman's adver tisements), inquiring whether it is with his lordship's ' sanction or approval that a minister of the Church of England in his diocese is permitted to offend public decency by such exhibitions. The Bishop has replied as follows : "I have received your letter enclosing three advertisements. They refer to a question respecting which the law has not pointed out that a bishop has authority to interfere, and as at present advised I deem it expedient not to take anysteps in the matter." LATEST INTELLIGENCE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAM.) SPAIN. MADRID, FEB. 10. The Noticias of to-day says :—" The Council of State has come to a resolution upon the question of the Encyclical, the publication of which is to be prohibited in Spain. Those bishops, however, who have published the Encyclical without the permis sion of the Government are not to be prosecuted. MADRID, FEB. 11. In yesterday's sitting of the Congress Senor Posada Herreia demanded political and adminis trative reforms for the Antilles. He also demanded the emancipation of the blacks in the Spanish pos sessions under a system of compensation, a measure which was urgently necessary. The Council of State has approved the publication of the Encyclical, excepting, however, those por tions of it contrary to the Royal prerogative. The Prussian Army Bill. BERLIN, FEB. 9. The following is the draft of the Army Bill brought by the Government into the Chamber of Deputies : " We, William, by God's grace, &c., with the assent of both Houses of Parliament, order as fol lows for the whole extent of our monarchy in alte ration and completion of the law as to the obliga tions for military service of Sept. 3, 1814. " 1. The general obligation to war service in the army and fleet is reduced from 19 to 16 years. " 2. Those persons bound to take military ser vice shall belong during the first seven years of their entire term to the standing army or war fleet re spectively. They shall, however, in so far as the necessary reinforcement of the army or fleet, or drill, do not otherwise require, be sent on furlough during the last Jour years to their homes, instead of the last two years, as now usual. " This applies also to one year volunteers (see sec. 7 law of Sept. 3, 1814), to whom also the first year of service, as hitherto, shall be reckoned as three years. " 3. During the term reduced to nine years of obligatory service in the army and navy of both classe . s, the defensive force shall belong for the first four years to the first class, and for the following five years to the second class of the land and sea services. Passage into the second class takes place, therefore, as hitherto, usually with the commence ment of the 32d year of age, but release from the land and sea services and entry into the reserve as early as and without exception with the completed 36th year. "4. The service relations of the land and sea services of both classes shall be specially settled by a separate bill, according to present requirements, upon the basis of the following general regulations. " 5. Owing to the existing increase of the standing army the first class of the landwehr (militia) will in future only be called to arms by us when very seri ous danger threatens the country. The orders con tained in sec. 8 of the law of Sept. 3, 1814, as to the destination - and application of the landwehr, must nevertheless remain in force. In accordance herewith peace drill is requisite for the landwehr of the first class. This shall take place in future : a. For the infantry as hitherto, in special battalions or companies, in their native districts for a term of from two to four weeks. b. For the jagers, pioneers, artillery, and military train simply by attachment to corresponding troops of the line for exercise during the same term. c. This last method of exercise shall also be universally applied to the cavalry as soon as the cavalry of the line is reorganised upon the ne cessary peace footing to be prepared for war. From that time forth expires the hitherto existing legal obligations of the communes to furnish the drill horses free of charge, as well as all horses for mobi lising the landwehr, which shall thenceforward be supplied from the funds of the State. Exercise for the land and sea services of the second class shall not take place during peace. " 6. Persons belonging to the standing army and war fleet on furlough at their homes, and those re leased from land and sea service, are not limited in the choice of their place of abode either at home or abroad, but must observe the regulations issued re lative to giving notice of their whereabouts. The emigration of furlough-men belonging to the stand ing army and the fleet shall be simply governed in future by those orders issued as to the emigration of reserve men. " 7. All men of the furlough class, whether be longing to the standing army or the fleet, or the land and sea services, are subject to the civil tri bunals for criminal offences, except in the cases stated in part 2, sec. 6, par. 1-5 inclusive of the criminal code. Persons on furlough belonging to the active army and fleet are not included in this clause. " 8. Sailors by calling are free from service in the army during peace, who, upon entering the age when service becomes obligatory, have served in sea-going ships of the Prussian mercantile navy. They are, however, bound to serve in the fleet according to the following rules. "9. The following classes belong to the war fleet, which, like the standing army, is constantly ready for war :-1. The active navy, viz., sailors in active service, dockyard men, and marines on fur lough from the active navy up to their completed 27th year, or up to the completed seventh year of service, reckoned from the date of their actual en trance. 2. Men bound to enter the naval service, in the sense of the order of April 4, 1854, up to their completed 27th year. " 10. The active navy is composed of—a. Sailors calling, viz., such volunteers or conscripts as have served at least one year in sea-going ships of the mercantile navy upon entering the serviceable age. b. Voluntarily entered or conscript dockyard labourers. c. Volunteers or conscripts for the marines. " 11. Time of service in the active navy may be shortened by leave of absence from the marine au thorities for sailors by calling in proportion to their technical preliminary training and their availability for service in the war fleet. Shipped men of all classes, on the other hand, whatever their time of service, will not be discharged until after return to Prussian ports. " Young sailors by calling, who upon entering the age for service have acquired the qualification for a one year volunteer, or have passed the mates' examination, fulfil their obligation towards the war fleet by one year's voluntary service, without being bound to find their own uniforms or pro visions. In the ratio of their qualifications they shall be proposed and appointed where necessary as sub-officers, deck officers, or supplementary offices of the reserve. To these one year volunteers in the war fleet the year shall be reckoned as three years' service. " 13. Sailors having to do substitute duty upon entering the age of service, or if at that time absent upon voyages, then upon their next return into the King's dominions are bound to present themselves before the substitute court to execute their service duty. They cannot be mustered again for mer chantmen until they have satisfied the demands of their military duties. " 14. Entry or re-entry into the war fleet in time of peace cannot be demanded from conscript (sec. 10 a) or leave of absence sailors (sec. 9, Nos. 2 and 3), who at reception of the order to join have actu ally taken service, on board a Prussian merchant man after muster according to rule, or who study at a Prussian navigation school, or school of naval architecture connected therewith. Such actual entry into service on board a Prussian merchant man releases also from presentation at the substi tute periods and the muster meetings, as also from obligation to be present at the exercise drill on board the school ships ordered in sec 17. " 15. For extraordinary reinforcements of the fleet in time of peace, the leave-of-absence men and marine reserves are first called out, and next the sea-service men of ages varying from 20 to 27. Upon the outbreak of war, besides the substitute men bound to service, the leave-of-absence and re serve men of the fleet, and the sea-service men of the same ages, the sea reserve and classes of sea service men (sec. 16) attached thereto are, if neces sary, called out. In peace, as in war, the necessary reinforcement is so arranged that the first-named categories precede the later mentioned, and the junior classes are called upon before the senior. " 16. The sea reserve of the first class consists : a. Of the men as a rule discharged from the marine reserve into the sea reserve upon completing their 27th year. b. Of the sea-service men between their 28th and 31st year. c. Of other sailors by calling, upon whom service is obligatory, who have not served in the fleet, and have not yet passed their 31st year. " 17. Yearly gun-drill, lasting eight weeks, takes place on board the shooting schoolships for seamen belonging by any age to the war fleet and the first class of the sea reserve who have not served on board the fleet. Each man liable to this drill will, as a rule, have to attend twice. " 18. The sea reserve of the second class con sists of all released from the first class and of the see-service men, aged from 32 to 36 inclusive. In time of war it is employed, if necessary, to complete and reinforce the navy. " 19. All orders in opposition hereto are sus pended. " 20. Our Ministers of War and of the Marine and our Minister of the Interior are charged with the execution of this law." General Sherman and the Negroes. The following order has been issued by General Sherman : Headquarters, Military Division of the Mississippi, in the field, Savannah, Ga., Jan. 16. 1. The islands from Charleston south, the aban doned rice fields along the rivers for 30 miles back from the sea, and the country bordering the St. John River, Florida, are reserved and set apart for the settlement of the negroes now made free by the acts of war and the proclamation of the President of the United States. 2. At Beaufort, Hilton Head, Savannah, Fernan dina, St. Augustine, and Jacksonville the blacks may remain in their chosen or accustomed voca tions ; but on the islands and in the settlements hereafter to be established, no white person what ever, unless military officers and soldiers detailed for duty, will be permitted to reside ; and the sole exclusive management of affairs will be left to the freed people themselves, subject only to the United States military authority and the acts of Congress. By the laws of war and orders of the President of the United States, the negro is free, and must be dealt with as such. He cannot be subject to con scription or forced military service, save by the written orders of the highest military authority of the department, under such regulations as the Pre sident or Congress may prescribe. Domestic ser vants, blacksmiths, carpenters: and other mechanics will be free to select their own work and residence ; but the young and able-bodied negroes must be en couraged to enlist as soldiers in the service of the United States, to contribute their share towards main taining their own freedom and securingtheir rights as citizens of the United States. Negroes so enlisted will be organised into companies, battalions, and regiments, under the orders of the United States military authorities, and will be paid, fed, and clothed according to law. The bounties paid on enlistment may, with the consent of the recruit, go to assist his family and settlement in procuring agricultural implements, seed, tools, boots, clothing, and other articles necessary for their livelihood. 3. Whenever three respectable negroes, heads of families, shall desire to settle on land, and shall have selected for that purpose an island or a locality clearly defined, within the limits above designated, the Inspector of Settlements and Plantations will himself, or by such subordinate officers as he may appoint, giving them a license to settle in such island or district, and afford them such assistance as he can to enable them to establish a peaceable agri cultural settlement. The three parties named will subdivide the land, under the supervision of the inspector, among themselves and such others as may choose to settle near them, so that each family shall have a plot of not more than forty acres of tillable ground, and when it borders on some water channel, with not more than eight hundred feet front, in the possession of which land the military authorities will afford them protection until such time as they can protect themselves, or until Con gress shall regulate their title. The Quartermaster may, on the requisition of the Inspector of Settle ments and Plantations, place at the disposal of the Inspector one or more of the captured steamers to ply between the settlements and one or more of the commercial points heretofore named, in order to afford the settlers the opportunity to supply their necessary wants and to sell the products of their land and labour. 4. Whenever a negro has enlisted in the military service of the United States he may locate his family in any one of the settlements at pleasure, and acquire a homestead and all other rights and privi leges of a settler as though present in person. In like manner negroes may settle their families and engage on board the gunboats, or in fishing, or in the navigation of the inland waters, without losing any claim to land or other advantages derived from this system. But no one, unless an actual settler as above defined, or unless absent on Government ser vice, will be entitled to claim any right to land or property in any settlement by virtue of those orders. 5. In order to carry out this system of settlement a general officer will be detailed as Inspector of Settlements and Plantations, whose duty it shall be to visit the settlements, to regulate their police and general management, and who will furnish person ally to each head of a family, subject to the approval of the President of the United States, a possessory title in writing, giving, as near as possible, the description of boundaries, and who shall adjust all claims or conflicts that may arise under the same, subject to the like approval, treating such titles as altogether possessory. The same general officer will also be charged with the enlistment and organi sation of the negro recruits, and protecting their interests while so absent from their settlements, and will be governed by the rules and regulations pre scribed by the War Department for such purpose. 6. Brigadier-General R. Saxton is hereby ap pointed inspector of Settlements and Plantations, and will at once enter upon the performance of his duties. No change is intended or desired in the settlement now on Beaufort Island, nor will any rights to property heretofore acquired be affected thereby.—By order of Major-General W. T. SHERMAN. L. M. DAYTON, Major and Assistant Adjutant-General. The American Blockade. HAVANNAH, Jan. 21. On the 14th arrived the English steamer Zephine, Captain Smith, six days from Galveston, with 1,400 bales of cotton and 11 passengers. January 19, one and a half days from Nassau, Confederate steamer General Whiting, 425 tons, in ballast, to M. A. Her rera and Co. The English steamer Denbigh, hitherto so successful, left this port on the 17th inst. for Gal veston, though she cleared for Bermuda. We had a report from Key West yesterday that she had been captured and carried in there a prize, and a valuable one. 11.30 a.m.—The Yazoo has just arrived. By her papers of the 14th inst. I see, among other items, the Colonel Lamb (a very fast iron steamer) is reported at Nassau, and this is false, as even while I write she is steaming off the harbour. It is generally reported she is to become a corsair or piratical cruiser. She car ries the Confederate flag at the gaff, and the Pal metto at the fore. I have counted 42 men, evidently her crew. She is reported to have cannon in her hold, and I also saw large boxes of coal on the deck, abreast the engines, forward of the guards. There is, I think, no doubt that she is intended for a privateer. It is just reported to me that this vessel has 140 men on board, cleared as passengers for Nassau. About 11 p.m., on the night of the 18th inst., the famous steamer Harriet Lane, then called the Lavinia, was discovered to be on fire. The flames broke out in the bows. After considerable delay, the fire pumps from the arsenal, the navy, and the men-of-war in port were brought to bear upon the vessel, producing, however, little effect. She was finally towed ashore on a shoal and scuttled. The following vessels are in port : Mary Virginia (Confederate), Williams ; General Whiting (Confederate), Jones ; Lavinia (Confede rate). Halifax, Nova Scotia, Jan. 25.—The royal mail steamship Alpha, from St. Thomas and Ber muda, has arrived here. The blockade-runner Owl succeeded in reaching Fort Caswell the night it was evacuated. She immediately returned to Bermuda, arriving on the 24st, with the news of the capture of Fort Fisher, and stopping the Maud Campbell, Old Dominion, Florence, Deer, and Virginia, all ready to sail. The Charlotte and Stag sailed for Wilming ton at the same time with the Owl, and the Rattle snake, Chameleon, and Snag between the 13th and 20th, and had had not since been heard of. The exhibition of the remaining works of the late David Roberts, R.A., comprising finished pictures, draw ings, and sketches in oil and water-colours, will be opened now in a very few days at the rooms of the Architectural Association in Conduit-street.—The Reader. tiNvi „pit tint „if HER MAJESTY, • OSBORNE, Feb. 10.

RUSSIA AND POLAND. WARSAW, FEB. 10. The Governor of Poland has received the official instructions of the Russian Government for the reorganisation of the Kingdom of Poland. Under these instructions the Imperial Commis sions for special purposes, and the existing provin vincial governments are suspended, and the dif ferent branches of the public administration will henceforth be• only departments of the respective Ministries of St. Petersburg. The whole of Poland is to be divided into 27 de partments each under the direction of a prefect.

J. Adams).—The present is the Seventeenth annual issue of this world-famous Guide Book—a book numbering up now as many as 618 closely printed pages, embellished with three large folding maps— one of Great Britain and Ireland —one of India— and one of Europe--besides a little one of the trunk line connecting New York with St. Louis. As good wine proverbially needs no bush, it might be said with equal truth that a good word is hardly needed nowadays for such necessities in our social system as a Bradshaw, a Murray, or a Kelly's Post-Office London Directory. Granted that Bradshaw is aI , mighty maze"—.it must, i n justice to it, be added that it is " not without a plan." It amounts—the mastery of the system latent in the labyrinth of Bradshaw, to little less than a science in itself, and that science, moreover, one of a very abstruce character indeed. Nevertheless through all the intricacies of this marvellous and for the generality of inquirers utterly bewildering labyrinth of Bradshaw there is a clue really and truly discoverable. Once discover that clue, and you are ~immediately-set apart -as among the few rare and isolated notabilities of your generation. Not by any means a Bradshaw, however, of this character, be it observed, is the goodly book now before us. Here, at least, are none of those excruciatingly recondite time tables in the midst of tracking your way through which, with a nervous forefinger, on the road, let us say, from Euston-square to Aberdeen, you suddenly appear to be wandering into the afternoon of the day be fore yesterday, and almost dread to find yourself, before the close of your researches, landed some where about the middle of the week before last ! Problems meeting you at almost every turn of every page of Bradshaw's Time-tables about as difficult of sane solution as that famous one we might fancy from the first leaf of Euclid for Idiots—Given the name of the Captain and the ship's tonnage, to find out her destination! A Bradshaw, in the ordinary coffee-room accepta tion of the term, this is not—but, on the contrary, perfectly plain sailing as contrasted with most diffi cult and perilous navigation. The book under notice is, in other words, just simply Bradshaw's Rail way Manual or Shareholder's Guide and Direc tory. It includes within it a wonderful mass of well-authenticated and perfectly reliable informa tion in regard to all the railways in the United Kingdom, Continental, African, Australian, Ameri can, East Indian and West Indian. Five hundred and sixty one distinct railways in all, together with about two dozen auxiliary associations, such as the Submarine Telegraph, the Telegraph to India, and the London District Telegraph. Alto gether, ,‘ Bradshaw's Railway Manual" is the epitome of all that vast and complicated sys tem which has constituted the present epoch in the world's history, the Fast Age, the Iron Age, in other words, the age of railroads and of rapid intercommunication.
