AMERICA. SOUTHAMPTON, Wednesday. The North German Lloyd screw steamship America, Captain H. Wessels, from New York on the 20th inst., arrived off Cowes at 3 p.m., and has gone on to Bremen. She brings 69 passengers for this port and Havre, and 456 for Bremen; $430,600 for England, $330,000 for France, $l,OOO for Bremen, and 430 tons of cargo, of which 130 tons are for England. On the 22d, at 735 a.m., in lat. 40 52 N., long. 63 W., the America spoke the Edinburgh steamer, bound for New York ; and on the same clay, at 12 30 p.m., in lat. 41 24 N., long. 61 56 W., the Bremen ship Aristides, bound east. Nashville despatches of the 18th announce that it was originally intended to take President Da v i s t o Washington via Nashville and Cincinnati, but that for prudential reasons the route has been changed to that via Macon and Augusta to Savannah. From Savannah he was to proceed by steamer to Fortress Monroe, where quarters had been prepared for him. Despatches received at Nashville from General Ros seau state that Mr. Davis arrived at Macon on the 14th, and the statement is corroborated by tele grams received at Cincinnati from Resaca, Georgia. The Washington correspondent of the Daily News, however, under date of the 19th, mentions a report current in that city that the person captured by General Wilson's cavalry was not President Davis, but some one who had impersonated him, to draw the Federals from the real object of their pursuit, and that the Southern President, together with his Secretaries, Benjamin, Breckenridge, and others, are now doubtless safely beyond the Mississippi. The absence of all official account of the movements of the captors and their prisoners since the first an nouncement of the capture is alleged by the Daily News to strengthen the probability of the truth of the report. A correspondent of the New York Tribune gives the following particulars of President Davis's flight, and the dissolution of his party : " Nashville, Friday, May 19. "Through Confederate officers who have just arrived I get a full account of Jeff. Davis's move ments up to within a short time of his capture. Gen. Debrell, who commanded his escort, was engaged in the battle near Raleigh, North Carolina, when he received intelligence of the surrender of Lee, and at the same time Wheeler got a despatch from Jeff. Davis, dated Greensborough, North Carolina, call ing for 1,000 picked men to escort him and what remained of his Government to Washoe, Georgia. Debrell was accordingly despatched with the re quired force, and after a march of three days reached Greensborough, at which point he found Jeff. Davis with his family, Judah P. Benjamin, John C. Breckinridge, Senator Burnett, of Kentucky, J. H. Reagan, • Postmaster-General Gustavus A. Hums, of Tennessee, and other rebel officials. As soon as General Debrell arrived the party prepared to march, and they set out on the following day. Jeff. Davis and the rebel officials rode in front, followed by an ambulance containing the women and children and the specie, which was currently reported among the officers to amount to 11 millions of dollars. It was put up in heavy iron-bound kegs and boxes, and had a guard of 1,000 men, led by Debrell, which fol lowed the train. At a point about five miles from Greensborough they camped, Jeff. Davis and family taking up their quarters in a house in the vicinity. Here the rank and file first learnt the object of their mission, and it was discussed with all its surmises which it naturally excited, the men being exceedingly anxious to know the destination of their Government. On the following day Jeff. Davis visited the boys and made a soul-stirring speech, adverting to the disasters that had overtaken their beloved Confede racy, but giving them every assurance that they were not irrevocably lost, that all that was neces sary to ultimate success was confidence in their Go vernment, and the undaunted bravery which had characterised the Confederate army during its past career. Upon taking up the line of march they rode in the same order, Jeff. Davis having by his side young Colonel Johnston, son of General Albert Sydney Johnston, in whom he evidently reposed the most implicit confidence. They reached Char lotte, North Carolina, where they again camped, and Davis harangued the men again, inspiring confidence in them, and dealing in glowing words of rebel patriotism. He appeared happy and cheerful, took the boys by the hand, and entered into cheerful conversation with them. He would praise their valour in the presence of the ladies and call them the faithful thousand, the flower of the Confederacy, and paid other pretty but not substantial compli ments. At this point they were joined by Basil Duke, Ferguson, and Vaughan, with their brigades, which increased the escort to the valuable propor tions of 5,000 men. After the new comers had mingled with the others they soon learnt the condition of things, and they, too, had their surmises. Like a pack of hungry wolves they were suddenly reminded that the Government was slightly in debted to them, and as the treasure was near at hand the idea of presenting their bills suggested itself to them. The men would congregatein groups, and their low mutterings boded no good to the Go vernment. Jeff. found it necessary to redouble his efforts to conciliate, but his eloquence was wasted now. The men obeyed their marching orders and followed Jeff. into South Carolina to Abbeville, where they again halted, very much fatigued and demoralised. On the Bth things began to assume a desperate fea ture, and Jeff. found it politic to inspire his brave boys with something more substantial than words. The treasure was opened, and the division of Gen. Debrell, with the brigades of Duke, Ferguson, and Vaughan were formed in line, and the soldiers were paid off. Some of the men were paid in gold and silver, the coin being chiefly Mexican dollars, with few United States ; but few of them received gold. In the evening Duke sent his Adjutant-General, Captain Davis, to notify all his men who wished to go west of the Mississippi River to report at 11 o'clock on the following day. At the appointed time all the men reported, but Duke refused to take those who were without arms, and taking only those who were armed, left the others to shift for them selves. They heaped curses on Duke, and with heavy hearts went to Washoe, Georgia, where they surrendered to General Wilson, together with the brigades of Ferguson and Vaughan. The command of General Debrell escorted Jeff. Davis to Vienna Valley, on the west bank of the Savannah River, about 20 miles from Washington, when the grand dissolution took place on the 9th. At this point Benjamin, Breckinridge, Burnett, and several others took a last farewell of Jeff. Davis and his family. At the hour named Jeff. Davis and suite crossed the river, and the other portion of the Go vernment galloped off to Washington, their pocket handkerchiefs in mourning. The command was apprised of the fact that they were now left to fol low the bent of their own inclinations. Benjamin and Breckinridge, with their friends, no doubt reached the west bank of the Mississippi." The New York papers are almost exclusively oc cupied with reports of the trials of the persons alleged to be implicated in the assassination conspi racies. A despatch to the Tribune of the 20th says :—... "The court _ "Washington, Friday, May 19. mom where the conspirators are being tried was crowded to-days and the proceedings were of great in terest. Most of the te ' the latter part of the afternoon bore upon Payne, though in zo r u s Dr. Mudd and Atzerott were somewhat involved. son of the Secretary, gave his testimony with considernewraabli, emotion, detailing the fearful scene of the attempted murd er of his father with a faltering voice, which affected the Court theft and the assembly. He thought the prisoner Payn e man, but could no t sw ear positively to his identity. The manacles off Payne's wrists, under the dir ec ti on o f were taken Major-General Hartranft, and the coats and hats which ho wore in his as sault on the Sewards we re p ut on him, that he might be r cognised. The coats we re of li g ht g re y mater ial, and the hat: soft felt. The prisoner seemed to enjoy the freedom of his arms keenly. His fingers taper and his hands are finely shaped, soft and white as a woman's. When identified he would wrinkle his brow and bite his nails nervously. The nurse and soldier, Robinson, who saved Mr. Seward's life, were present,and his recognition of the prisoner was instant and complete. ' Nobody could forget that face,' he said, ' though he looks less fierce and more natural.' The negro boy who attended the door on that night also identified him with at degree of terror which was quite amusing. `Yes, that's the ' That's n;that's him, I know him.' At which Payne smiled. him,' added the witness, 'don't you see he knows me?' At which Payne la n W laughed and the court joined. The testimony of C a pt a i n Particularly gra p _ erm erskirtch, a German, was also 1 graphic and edifying. He testified to having 1 found the photographs of Jeff. Davis, Lee, and others, in albums at Mrs. Surratt's house, and a photograph of Wilkes Booth hidden in the back of a little family picture. Hereupon the lawyer for Mrs. Surratt tried to prove that such likenesses were to be found in the houses of loyal per sons. After whispering to his client he asked, ' Did you not find photographs of Union generals there ?' To which the reply was, 'No, sir, none ; there was one of M'Clellan.' Counsel (indignant)--' Well, air, was not he a Union general ?" I don't exactly know ; I believe he was em ployed on our side.' Again this witness said of Mrs. Surratt when arrested, she requested permission to kneel down and pray. 'Ah!' exclaimed the counsel, 'then she knelt down and prayed, did she ?' Answer—' She knelt down ; don't know whether she prayed or not.' Considerable additional evidence has been disclosed to the Judge Advocate General which will prolong the trial well into next week. Davis will probably reach Fortress Munroe by Sunday. The Go vernment has definitely determined to arraign and try Jefferson Davis before a civil tribunal—probably before a jury in Baltimore, with Chief Justice Chase to preside." The Herald of the 20th has the following article in reference to the trial : " In the mass of testimony against the conspirators pre sented to the Washington court our readers may have noticed a great deal which is technically illegal, that is to say, which would not be regarded as admissible under the rules of practice in our civil courts. For instance, what John Surrat said is not legal evidence, since Surrat is neither on trial nor in custody. What one prisoner said about another is not legal evidence, unless the other prisoner were present at the time, or unless the statement referred to the general scope and object of a previously proven conspiracy. But the military court at Washington is not limited by the rules of evidence insisted upon bylawyers. The court is engaged in the double task of trying assassins and investigating a conspiracy. It combines the duties of an examination as to suspected persons and of a trial of the persons under ar rest. Great latitude is,:therefore, given to the witnesses, so that the whole matter, unrestricted by the limitations of civil courts, may be clearly placed before the public. In this view the admission of valuable, though technically il legal, testimony is not indefensible. But if we adhere to the strictest rules of evidence, and cast every doubtful word aside, sufficient legal testimony has already been elicited to prove the organisation of a conspiracy to capture or kill President Lincoln, and to show the guilt of all the pri soners at the bar. It seems that some kind of an attempt was made to carry out the conspiracy a few days after the 4th March. Booth said in New York that ho could easily have killed the President on inauguration day, as he stood very near him ; but for some reason or other, probably be cause no means of escape were yet provided, he did not want to do the bloody deed at that time. Of the subsequent attempt we have but few particulars, but we know that Booth, Surratt, and Atzerott were engaged in it; that Mrs Surratt knew of it, since she cried while her son was away that Arnold was privy to it by his own confession ; that the scheme, whatever it was, dismally failed, and that the three assassins came back to Mrs. Surratt's in a great rage, disappointed, vexed, an disheartened. After that Mrs. Sur ratt appears to have lent them her brains, for they sadly lacked brains before. Then the scheme which proved partly successful was arranged. Booth was assigned to kill the President ; Atzerott to kill the Vice-President ; Payne to kill Secretary Seward ; O'Laughlin to kill Grant ; another man, probably Surratt, to kill Secretary Stanton ; Spangler to look after the private box in the theatre ; Mrs. Surratt to see that the carbines were ready at Lloyd's ; Dr. Mudd to point out the road and furnish refreshments, and Harrold to assist Booth and make himself generally useful. Had not Booth been tripped by the American flag and broken his leg his escape would have been pretty certain ; but this, like all the rest of the conspiracy, except the Pre sident's murder, fell through completely. The evidence connecting Jeff. Davis and the Canada rebels with the con spiracy is morally very strong. We can judge from the endorsement which Davis gave to plots to burn our cities and throw trains off the track whether his soul would have revolted from the crime of assassination. We can under stand from the evidence before us why Surratt went to Richmond and Booth to Canada. It was to obtain advice and directions in regard to the conspiracy. We think that when the time of the first attempt is more definitely settled by witnesses, it will be more apparent that suggestions from Jeff. Davis revived the drooping spirits of Surratt, Booth, and Atzerott, and transformed them from kidnappers to murderers. Surratt declared after his first failure that his prospects were ruined. Booth was terribly agitated. Atze rott was also excited. Arnold, according to his own story, withdrew from the plot. What was it that gave these men new courage ? It was Jeff. Davis's advice, and Jeff. Davis's gold. They would never have repeated their attempt had they not been urged on by those at Richmond. Booth him self declared to Chester, the actor, that he had abandoned the idea of capturing the President. Surratt, who was foremost in the first attempt, got out of the way when the second attempt was made ; or, if ho was at the theatre, as one witness swears, he took a very subordinate part in the assassination drama., leaving the principal work to his associates, We hold that if it had not been for the incen tives from Richmond the conspiracy would have broken down of itself, and the principal actors of it would have re tired in disgust. But it is evident that Jeff. Davis had de termined that President Lincoln should be put out of the way, and he clung to his purpose tenaciously. As in the case of M'Cullock's scheme to burn our cities, so in the case of the assassination he had discovered a ' plan for over coming the difficulty heretofore experienced.' With this plan, and the strong-minded Mrs. Surratt to arrange its details, the death of President Lincoln was accomplished." Governor Brown, of Georgia, reached Washington on the 18th, and was consigned to the old Capitol Prison. The grand review of the armies had been ordered for the 23d and 24th of May. Instead of the parade on Manassas Plain, as originally suggested, the troops were to pass through the principal streets of Washington, and in front of the White House, from the steps of which they were to be reviewed by President Johnson and General Grant. They would then return by a circuitous route to their encamp ment at Alexandria. Secretary Seward visited the State Department on the 19th for the first time since his accident. A general order had been issued from the War Department at Washington as follows " All the forces of the enemy east of the Mississippi river having been duly surrendered by the proper commanding officers to the armies of the United States, underagreements of parol and disbandment, and there being no authorised troops of the enemy east of the Mississippi river, it is or dered that from and after the Ist day of June, 1865, any and all persons found in arms against the United States, or who may commit acts of hostility against it east of the Missis sippi river, will be regarded as guerillas, and punished with death. The strict enforcement and execution of this order is especially enjoined upon the commanding officers of all the United States forces within the territorial limits to which it applies." According to another order of the War Depart ment the Adjutant-General had been directed to commence mustering honourably out of service all general field and staff officers who are unemployed, or whose service is no longer needed. "Brigadier-General Seward, son of Secretary Seward, had tendered the resignation of his commission. It had been accepted, to take effect on the Ist of June. The Secre tary of War, in a letter accepting the resignation, compli ments him very highly, and expresses his regret that per sonal considerations should necessitate his retirement from the military seavice." A despatch of the 19th from Washington says : " President Johnson has removed Gen. Banks from com mand in Louisiana, and appointed Gen. Canby in his place. This change is based upon the report of Gen. William F. (Baldy) Smith and Mr. J. T. Brady, who were appointed by Mr. Lincoln to investigate the management of affairs under the administration of Generals Butler and Banks in Louisiana. The report of these commissioners was made to the President and Cabinet on Wednesday and Thursday, and resulted in the order for the removal of Banks to-day. The order restricts Gon. Canby's duties to purely military affairs, leaving the civil governor (Mr. Wells) full control over civil affairs, the military commander of the depart ment to interfere only upon the requisition of the governor. By this order Dr. Kennedy, who was summarily displaced by Gen. Banks, is restored to the position of Mayor of New Orleans." Another despatch of the same date says : "Chief Justice Chase has already entered the field as a candidate for the Presidency in 1868, and is directing his efforts to the accomplishment of that object. He wrote a letter, in the latter part of April or Ist of May, to a pro minent politician in Ohio, which directly reveals his pur pose. This letter is now being shown round in the West among those known as faithful to the Chief Justice. In this letter Mr. Chase states that the time has come to reconstruct the political parties for future operations ; that he thinks that by quiet and skilful management on the part of their friends a strong party can be formed out of the Radical element of the Republican party and the Liberal portion of the democratic party, which will be formidable. He suggests that they shall adopt the name of 'National Democratic party,' with one of its cardinal planks—the re construction of the South on the basis of negro suffrage. This letter, as already stated, is now being used by Mr. Chase's friends in the West in initiating this new party movement, intending, of course, to keep it secret until they get their wires laid, combinations made, and plans matured. The Chief Justice, in the meantime, has gone along the coast southward, enjoying the heat of the Southern climate. 11 is friends have given out that he has gone to reopen the district courts ; but the fallacy of this idea is at once seen when it is k nown that the Cabinet have had two or three long sessions since Mr. Chase l e ft, di scuss i ng th e pro p r i e ty of immediately o p en i ng the courts, and have not as yet de cided i s. ehal when or h ow soon the district judges of the south to ß o e p si e d n es t , ho it se i c s ou n r o ts p . aritihoef factthe thedt;ties"os;lnle their Justice duties . Chief of the matter is, he is in search of his old friends in the South, and has gone to initiate his movement in that di rection while his friends attend to it in the North ani 1 North-west." Mr. De Stoeckl, the Russian Minister at Wash- ington, recently read to the President the instruc tions of Prince Gortschakoff, of which the subjoined is a translation : 6, St. Petersburg, April 16. " Sir,—The telegraph has brought us the news of the double crime of which the President of the United States has fallen a victim and Mr. Seward barely escaped. The blow which has struck Mr. Lincoln at the very moment when he seemed about to harvest the fruits of his energy and perseverance has been deeply felt in Russia. Because of the absence of the Emperor, I am not in a position to secure and transmit to you the expression of the sentiments of his Imperial Majesty. Being acquainted, nevertheless, with those which our august master entertainstowards the United States of America, it is easy for me to realise in ad vance the impression which the news of this odious crime will cause his Imperial Majesty to experience. I have has tened to testify to Gen. Clay the earnest and cordial sym pathy of the Imperial Cabinet with the Federal Govern ment. Please to express this in conversation to President Johnson, adding thereunto our most sincere wishes that this new and grievous trial may not impede the onward march of the American people towards the re-establishment of the Union and of the concord which are the sources of its power and of its prosperity. Receive, sir, the assurance of my very distinguished consideration. " GORTSCHAKOFF. ~ His Excellency Mr. Stoeckl." A despatch from New Orleans reports the cap ture of the Confederate General Pillow : " New Orleans, May 13, via Cairo, May 18. " Generals Canby and Osterhaus arrived from Mobile yesterday. The paroled officers and men of General Dick Taylor's army are overrunning Mobile. Thirteen steamers and the rebel rams Nashville and Mary Ann had arrived at Mobile from the Tombighoe River, where they were taken by the rebels on the evacuation of Mobile. They, with eight other steamers, with the blockade runner Heroine as the flag-ship of the officer in charge, are ex peet3d to reach here to-night. It is feared that the blockade runners Red Gauntlet, Mary and Virginia, and tho steamer Natches, will not get down the river, as they are above Demopolis, and the river is falling. General Gideon J. Pillow was captured near Selma. He was afraid to go home on account of the guerillas. The steamboat Man hattan was burned at the levee last night, and some of the shipping injured. The rise in the Mississippi river has forced the levees, and the water now covers the im mense area from the Red River to Donaldsville and the Gulf Stream—from thirty to fifty miles in width. The suffering occasioned by this overflow is terrible, and the destruction of property beyond description." ELECTION INTELLIGENCE. CHESTER. Last evening a meeting of Liberals was held at Chester for the purpose of hearing Mr. W. H. Gladstone, who has offered himself as a candidate in the Liberal interest for election. The Chancellor of the Exchequer was present, and spoke in sup port of his son. The right hon. gentleman, who was received with great enthusiasm, said that although he had not the honour to be either a candidate for election, or an elector, he hoped it would not appear strange or unnatural that he should come among the electors on this occasion, when the immediate question concerned one in whom he was so nearly and dearly interested, one of whom he never had, and he believed never should, have cause to be ashamed. (Applause.) There were three can didates in the field for a single seat. One of them, Mr. Raikes, had all the claims to represent the city which could be possessed by a man holding opinions held only by a very small minority of the constitu ency. Mr. Raikes had only a ghost of a chance of being returned; he had apparently come forward because the majority of the constituency were di vided. He (the Chancellor of the Exchequer)deeply regretted that a division had taken place, and pro bably he had given offence to his warmest supporters by resisting his son's coming there for any purpose which could involve disparagement or danger to the opinions of the Liberal party. (Cheers.) His son must be guided by considerations of personal ambi tion. Theflatteringprospect of gaining the suffrages of the constituency was not a sufficient ground for coming into the field to the danger of the party which comprised three-fourths of the constituency, unless he was convinced that by him alone could the representation of the opinions of the majority of the electors be secured. (Cheers.) Before his son had consented to stand, a requisition, signed by upwards of 800, out of a constituency of 1,900, had been presented to him. Mr. Fenton, although requested to do so, had declined to produce any proof of a supe rior, or even equal, manifestation of strength. (Cheers.) The responsibility, therefore, of dividing the party rested upon Mr. Fenton. He (the Chan cellor of the Exchequer) had been the subject of a portion of the political literature of the city during the last few days. The discussion, he regretted, had not been confined to politics. At Mr. Raikes's meet ing matters affecting personal character had been brought forward, and statements made which he might designate as foul calumny. (Cheers, and No, no.) He would deal with the statement else where. (Cheers.) Mr. Raikes had said for the last I six years there had been no Government in this country, but the truth was that there had been none of the kind which Mr. Raikes approved. (Laughter.) There had been a Government, notwithstanding the assertion of Mr. Raikes, and now who were the members composing the Government ? Lord Pal 'merston had established a world-wide reputation, and if medals were given for political services Lord Russell's breast would be covered with distinction. (Cheers.) It was admitted by Mr. Raikes that a commercial treaty with France had been passed in 1860, which, he said, had very much disappointed the expectations both of its friends and of its enemies. It was a good rule to believe half of what one heard, and he believed half of what Mr. Raikes said in reference to the treaty having disappointed its enemies. The treaty had increased the value of the trade between England and France to the amount of 23 millions sterling of beneficial exchange to this country. What did this sum represent? Millions upon millions added to the profits of capi tal, the reward of skill, and the honest payment of labour. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) The French demand occasioned by that treaty had come as by some providential design to supply the place of our commerce with America at the moment when that commerce ceased, and had kept in action strong English arms, which but for that treaty would have been paralysed. (Cheers.) A Government was in its happiest employment when it was able to devise means for raising the condition and in creasing the happiness of the great body of the country. (Applause.) He would warn the elec tors against those who bade them beware of the party who carried the repeal of the Corn Laws, established the system of Free Trade, endeavoured to mitigate and remedy religious disabilities, and taught the doctrine of a liberal extension of the franchise. The party to which Mr. Raikes be longed had offered every obstacle to the establish ment of . the French Treaty, and had brought all the skill and ingenuity of a Parliamentary opposition to bear in order to effect their purpose. As to the relative qualifications of Mr. Fenton, who- was a man of business, and Mr. Gladstone, who necessarily could not have had such experience, the hon. gentle man went on to say that it was necessary to have in the House of Commons men of all classes, but if Government was to be carried on successfully it must be by persons who look to it as a profession in their early life. Young men must be returned as representatives with that view, and must be trusted by the constituencies. His advice to his son had been that the latter should come before that consti tuency as an adherent of Liberal principles, and that he should not measure the application of those prin ciples too nicely or stingily, and by those principles he understood in the main trust of the people only qualified by prudence, and by the principles of their opponents he understood mistrust of the people only qualified by fear. (Applause.) The Chancellor referred at length to the liberal legislation of the last 50 years to show that Liberal principles were to be credited with the improvement in the condition of the country effected during that period. In re ference to the franchise the right hon. gentleman said the working classes were a very small portion of the constituency of the country, and he regretted that the mind of the country was not more pre pared for a sensible extension of the franchise to working men. So far as his experience of the con stituency of Newark was concerned, he had come to the conclusion that working men would not go as a class together, or set up a separate interest if they had the franchise ; he lamented the abolition ~'"' r THE SUB, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENUNG, JUNE 1, 1865. of the scot-and-lot constituencies, and in conclu sion expressed himself in favour of a " lateral " extension of the franchise. WESTMINSTER. Sir John Villiers Shelley has issued the following address to the electors : "When I addressed you a short time back, I intimated my intention, so soon as the proper time had arrived, of appearing before you for the fourth time as a candidate to represent your important city. in Parliament. Since that period I have narrowly scanned the course pursued by each of the candidates who are soliciting your suffrages, and have become convinced of the determination of each to persevere, so that there would be three Liberals with one Tory in the field. The result of such a contest cannot be doubtful. lam determined, however, to be no party to a course which must bring about the triumph of the political party to which I am opposed, and I have therefore decided on resigning any claims which I may have upon you in consequence of long and faithful service in your interests. I trust that such a cordial junction of the Liberal party, in favour of some two candidates, may take place as will secure the continued triumph of that party in Westminster. In coming to the painful resolution which I have adopted, and in thus severing the connexion which has existed between us for 13 years, I am actuated solely by the determination not to weaken the Liberal interest in Westminster, and I assure you that I shall ever look back to the years in which I have been your representative as the proudest of my life. I can confidently say that I have strictly acted up to those professions of opinion which obtained for me your confidence in 1852, and which on two subsequent occasions secured my re-election without any contest. The Parlia mentary and local business of your great city has, as you are aware, in consequence of the failing health of my much respected colleague, Sir De Lacy Evans, fallen almost ex clusively on ms ; and I believe that I have transacted that business, heavy and complicated as it has been, to the satis faction of my constituents generally, and I have been aided materially in this by the great trust which you have reposed in me. I have now only to add that in retiring from the representation of Westminster I shall ever feel grateful for the repeated marks of good feeling and confidence which upon all occasions I have received from you. "House of Commons, May 30." CAMBRIDGE. Lieut.-Colonel Torrens has appeared here as a Liberal candidate in addition to Mr. Christie. Lieut.-Colonel Torrens, who has passed some time in the Australian colonies, declares himself in his address an advocate of the ballot, a large extension of the suffrage, and the total abolition of church rates. How these advanced opinions will harmonise with the more moderate views of Mr. Christie re mains to be seen. Both candidates will, however, address a public meeting to-morrow at the Town hail. Mr. K. Macaulay, M.P., and Mr. Powell, M.P., the Conservative sitting members, have issued a joint address soliciting re-election. DORCHESTER. Mr. Sheridan has issued the following address to the electors, principally in reply to that of Sir D. Wolff : "In expectation that a dissolution of Parliament cannot long be delayed, I consider it my duty again to offer my self as a candidate for the honour of your suffrages. As my Parliamentary duties have been urgent, and measures . of importance every day being discussed in the House of Commons, I should not probably have ventured to take this step so early in the session if I had not been forced to do so by an address to the electors of your ancient borough which has just been forwarded to me. I need not remind you that in 1852 I came forward by the invitation and express desire of the Liberal party to contest the presentation of the borough.. I fought for them the battle of the Constitution' under the most adverse circumstances. The cry was Freedom and Independence. Need I say we were triumphant ? The victory then ob tained for ever set free 'the electoral choice,' and the scan dal of 'the narrow circle of local connexions' was effaced. By the strenuous support and enerKetic exertions of those friends in the borough who advocated Liberal principles, I was enabled to obtain for them an independent voice in the representation, from which for years they had been de barred. In the course of 13 years that have since elapsed, during the whole of which period I have had the honour of being your representative, I have never received an in timation in any form that either my votes or the principles I advocated met with disapprobation, or were in any way opposed to the views of the majority of my constituents. You can imagine, therefore, my surprise when I learnt from the recent address of a stranger to the electors 'the very unsatisfactory state of your ancient and constitutional borough,' and ' the dangers and anomalies' of a position in which, at least, you have been enabled to choose your own representative. It seems to be implied by the terms of the address that a few persons, calling themselves an in fluential section,' are determined, as they presume to say, to correct and reform the independent position you have for the last 13 years maintained, by nominating some one whom they aro pleased to consider better able to fulfil the duties of your representative than the member you yourselves, not as a section but as a majority, returned to serve you in Parliament. It is at all events satis factory to receive the assurance that the opponents of Lord Palmerston, although they are quite prepared to eject him from power whenever an opportunity occurs, nevertheless' greatly reverence his name and career,' since his policy, which has so obviously added to the wealth and increased the power of England, would thus appear at length to command approval from both sides in politics. Are you content to be told that no personal or factious opposition' to that policy will be offered ? Would you not prefer trust ing to performances rather than to promises, however fair ? I am able to say that I have supported ' measures emanat ing from Lord Palmerston's Government,' that I have advo cated 'non-intervention in the affairs of other countries,' that I have been ' anxious to promote economy in every branch of public expenditure,' and that I have support ed a policy which has already considerably 'lightened the as far as is c o m p a tibl e w ith cy and et all, that 1 h ave a l wa y s con efficien taxation of safety;' the country, above con sidered the Church as an essential element in our Consti tution,' and should ' any endeavour at any time be made to separate Church from State,' I would most strenuously repel any attempt to effect such a revolution. It is needless, finally, to add that I have always felt ' a special interest in the prosperity of Dorchester.' From the close connexion between us, and those friendly associations which have so long subsisted, I think you will admit that I am more likely to be interested in all your local affairs than a gentleman who comes among you as an utter stranger. I cannot, therefore, perceive so much difference between the opinions on which I have hitherto acted and those now put forward as would justify you in changing your member from a tried to an untried man. Already I have given proof in support of my convictions, which surely should be more satisfactory to you than the bare declaration made by another of his views on political subjects. I have reason to know you are just and generous. If you see any reason to disapprove the manner in which I have discharged the duties intrusted to me I should expect you to elect, and I am sure you would not hesitate to elect, a member more to yoursatisfaction ; but, on the other hand, if you believe I have acted faithfully and conscientiously, I am equally sure that you will not be deterred by a ' section,' who call themselves ' influential,' from again placing me in the proud position I have so long held." DUMFRIESSHIRE. Mr. J. J. Hope Johnstone, M.P. for the county of Dumfries, has issued an address to the electors, in which he intimates that it is not his intention, on the occasion of " the dissolution now so near," to offer himself as a candidate for the representation of the county. After alluding to the personal and local reasons which have caused him reluctance and hesi tation in forming this resolution, he goes on to say— " It is true that 1 enjoy as large an amount of health and bodily activity as is usually accorded to men of my age, and for this I am deeply thankful ; but still, however lightly the hand of Timo may be imposed, it always leaves some im pression, and I feel that I am not as able for the duties of Parliamentary life as I was. It is probable that the Par liament now about to be chosen will be subject to a much heavier call on its time and attention than has been made on the existing one for some years past, and possibly new political combinations may give rise to keen conflicts on important subjects, entailing an amount of attendance that lam convinced I could not easily give. Under these cir cumstances, I feel that the best return I can make for your long-continued confidence is at once to retire, and enable you to select in my room a younger and more efficient man. It is to me a great satisfaction that, except in this one par ticular, our connexion remains unsevered ; my whole inte rests are identical with your own, and I shall ever be ready during my remaining years to join with you in continuing to work out every proposal or project that is likely to be of advantage to our district or for the benefit of the country at large." HELSTON. Since Mr. Rogers, the sitting member for this Cornish borough, announced his intended retire ment, both parties have been actively engaged pre paring for a struggle, and the leading Liberals express themselves confident that they can return their candidate, Mr. Adolphus W. Young, who is certainly very popular among a large number of the electors. The Conservatives state that they have no fear as to the return of Major Grylls. Both gentlemen have concluded a personal canvass. A very close contest may be expected, and it is more than probable that the Liberals will be able to wrest this seat from their opponents, who have long held it. IPSWICH. The Conservatives of Ipswich having started a second candidate in addition to Mr. J. C. Cobbold, M.P., the Liberals threaten reprisals by finding a Liberal colleague for Mr. H. E. Adair, M.P. Mr. Cobbold and Mr. Adair have been returned for Ipswich since 1847, but both parties have always made a fruitless fight of it at each dissolution. Mr. Tidmas, of Sutton Bonington, near Loughborough, is the second Conservative candidate ; the Liberals have not yet announced their new champion. MANCHESTER. A meeting of the Liberal electors was held at the Free Trade-hall, on Tuesday evening, to receive the report of a committee appointed by a previous meet ing to select candidates to be invited to offer them selves in place of Mr. Turner, who is about to retire. Among the names selected were those of Mr.-George Wilson and Mr. Robert N. Phillips, and a deputa tion, consisting of Sir James Watts, Mr. T. Ash ton, Mr. B. Armitage, and Mr. Henry Rawson, yesterday had an interview with Mr. Wilson, who, however, declined to be put in nomination, though expressing himself gratified by the honour conferred by the selection. It is understood that the deputation will seek an interview with Mr. R. N. Philips, and his reply will probably be known in a day or two. The deputation is to report to an adjourned meeting next Monday evening. NE NARK. Mr. Hodgkinson has issued an address to the electors, stating his intention to offer himself for re election. It is understood that Mr. Handley (one of the sitting members) will retire. Lord Arthur Clinton, the brother of the Duke of Newcastle, ad dressed the electors on Monday. He said he ear nestly wished to follow the political views of his father, the late Duke of Newcastle, whose exertions were devoted to the interests of his country. He would support Lord Palmerston's Government, or any other Government which might pursue such a line of policy as was called for by the daily progres sive requirements of the country. He would not give his support to Mr. Baines's bill, that being a too sweeping measure, but he was in favour of a gradual extension of the franchise, believing that there were some educated, influential, and honest householders who were now debarred from voting, and who ought to be allowed to vote. In conclusion, he advocated economy in the public expenditure. A resolution was passed pledging the meeting to secure his lordship's return. ROCHESTER. On Thursday last Dr. Smee, the Conservative candidate for Rochester addressed a large meeting of freemen and electors in the King's Head Hotel. He advocated principles of gradual and progressive re form, and objected to Mr. Baines's bill on the ground that it would give a power to the lower classes, who had not discretion to use it, and whose interests in the State did not warrant such a con cession. The foreign policy of the present Govern ment he very severely criticised, and hoped the next Administration would be under the leadership of Lord Derby. Mr. W. Manclark occupied the chair, and an in fluential party filled the platform. Resolutions favourable to Mr. Smee having been resolved unanimously, the'meeting terminated, WEST NORFOLK. The Hon. T. de Grey, eldest son of Lord Wal singham, will be a Conservative candidate for this constituency. Mr. de Grey has not yet issued his address, but is expected to do so after a meeting of the Conservative party at Swaffham on Monday. The present sitting members for the division are Mr. G. W. P. Bentinck (Conservative) and Mr. Brampton Gurdon (Ministerial). There has not been a contest since 1852. DUMFRIES BURGHS. Mr. Ewart's seat will be contested by Col. Clark Kennedy, of Knockgray, C. 8., who it is understood is likely to receive a large amount of support from the moderate Liberal electors in the five burghs. KIRKCUDBRIGHT. Mr. Mackie will again offer himself for the repre sentation of the stewartry, and as he has always been highly popular with the county, his return is believed not likely to be opposed. WIGTOWN BURGHS. Mr. Young, the Solicitoi:General, will in all pro bability be re-elected for the Wigtown Burghs without opposition. WIGTOWNSHIRE. There is likely to bo a keen contest for the repre sentation of Wigtownshire, the sitting (Liberal) member, Sir Andrew Agnew, of Lochnaw, being opposed by Viscount Garlies, son of the Earl of Galloway, in the Conservative interest. HEALTH OF LONDON. (From the Registrar-General's Weekly Report.) In the week that ended on Saturday, May 27, the births registered in London and ten other large towns of the United Kingdom were 3,794; the deaths registered, 2,527. The annual rate of mortality was 23 per 1,000 persons living, corresponding exactly with the rate that prevailed in the previous week. In London the births of 950 boys and 926 girls, in all 1,876 children, were registered in the week. In the cor responding weeks of ten years, 1855-64, the average number, corrected for increase of population, was 1,973. The deaths registered in London during the week were 1,249. The average number for the corresponding week in ten years (corrected) is 1,243. The deaths in the present return slightly exceed the estimated amount. ' Two hundred and fifty-four deaths from zymotic diseases were registered. Seven deaths occurred from small-pox, 16 from measles, 34 from scarlatina, and 52 from typhus. The mortality from whooping-cough, bronchitis, and pneumonia, has, under the influence of a higher tempera ture, much decreased. In the week that ended on Satur day, the Bth of April, 108 deaths from whooping-cough, 267 from bronchitis, and 121 from pneumonia, were regis tered, the mean temperature of the air being 48.9 deg. In the week that ended on Saturday last 56 fatal cases of whooping-cough were registered. Ninety-four deaths oc curred from bronchitis, and 42 from pneumonia, the mean temperature was 61.7 deg. But while during the summer months the population enjoys comparative immunity from some diseases affecting the respiratory organs, diarrhcea swells the totals of the weekly returns of deaths. Twenty seven deaths from this disease were registered last week ; in the week that ended on the 25th of:March only 7 deaths occurred from it. Diarrhoea is to a great extent a preven tible disease, and with the appliances of science properly exercised, and a better knowledge of the conditions neces sary to preserve health diffused among the people, it should not assume a formidable aspect. The following fatal carriage accidents were registered : A widow, aged 80 years, was run over by a van in the Farringdon-road. A corkcutter, aged 72 years, was run over by a cart. A gardener, aged 73 years, was run over by a vehicle. A labourer, aged 25 years, was run over by a cart in the Dover-road. A carter, aged 34 years, was run over by a waggon at New-cross. The rate of mortality last week was 22 per 1000 in Lon don, 24 in Edinburgh, and 20 in Dublin; 29 in Liverpool, 29 in Manchester, 20 in Salford, 18 in Birmingham, 27 in Leeds, 22 in Bristol, 19 in Hull, and 29 in Glasgow. The rate in Vienna was 42 per 1000 during the week ending the 13th inst. In Liverpool the births were 358, the deaths 265 ; iid Manchester the births 234, the deaths 19.5 ; in Salford the births 86, the deaths 43 ; in Birmingham the births 248, the deaths 115 ; in Leeds the births 188, the deaths 116 ; in Bristol the births 105, the deaths 67; in Hull the births 65, the deaths 38 ; in Edinburgh the births 122, the deaths 81; in Glasgow the births 361, the deaths 238 ; and in Dublin the births 151, the deaths 120. There were 451 deaths in Vienna during the week ending the 13th inst. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29.852 in. The barome trical reading decreased from 30.6 in. at the beginning of the week to 29.73 in. on Saturday. The mean tempera ture of the air in the week was 61.7 deg., which is 7.1 deg. above the average of the same week in 50 years (as deter mined by Mr. Glaisher). The highest day temperature was 78.5 deg. on Sunday. The lowest night temperature was 42.3 deg. on Friday. The entire range of temperature in the week was therefore 86.2 deg. The mean of the highest temperature of the water of the Thames was 62.6 deg. ; that of the lowest was 61.3 deg. The mean degree of humidity of the air was 72, complete saturation being represented by 100. Rain fell to the amount of 1.35 in. (equivalent to a fall of 136 tons of rain per acre), of which 1.03 in. fell on Tuesday, when a severe thunder-storm oc curred. The lightning conductors at the Royal Obser vatory was struck by the electric fluid, and by receiving the current saved the Observatory. The general direc tion of the wind was south-west. AMERICAN MAILS.-SOUTHAMPTON, May 31. Tho Hamburg American Company's steamship Germania, Capt. Elhers, sailed hence to-day for New York direct, with the German, French, and English mails, 650 passen gers, and a very large cargo from Hamburg, Havre, and this port, including French jewellery from Havre, value 28,000 f. The steamer Saxonia, belonging to the above company, is due off Cowes on Wednesday next with mails from New York to the 27th inst. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS TIMES.—The friendly nation whose versatile genius has challenged us in so many and such various contests has at length achieved a success ful rivalry in our great national pastime. The perse verance and enterprise of French sportsmen were yesterday rewarded by the greatest and most coveted honour on the English Turf. Anticipations which had been marked by a singular • unanimity were amply confirmed by the race, and Gladiateur will long be honourably celebrated as the winner of the Derby of 1865. We most heartily congratulate our neighbours on this happy result of a healthy and friendly rivalry. The prize has been well and fairly earned. It is no chance stroke of skill or wealth. The French horses have been gradually improved by constant emulation and care, and last year the race which at Epsom is second only to the Derby was won by a French mare from the same stable as that which achieved yesterday's success. Now that the French have also won the chief of all our races, they must be considered to have fairly established themselves as our rivals on the Turf, and by this success they have not only earned a just gratifica tion for themselves, but have done what would have seemed almost impossible—they have added a new interest to the Derby. The sense of international rivalry added a new and keen zest to yesterday's race, and for the future the interest of the contest must be always enhanced by the knowledge that we may have not merely to settle the claims of pre cedence among ourselves, but to hold our own against the energies of a rival natiiou. Nor can we fail to be sensible how considerable a homage is paid to our national institution when a great foreign nation conceives the ambition to emulate us, and pursues it so eagerly as to defeat us on our own ground. It is necessary, if we would properly ap preciate the value of the triumph thus achieved, to remember how specially and peculiarly national is the pastime in which the French have now sur passed us. The astonishing completeness with which all classes are represented at this annual festival is the best proof and illustration of the hold this sport has acquired upon the English people. It scarcely needs a visit to Epsom, nor a perusal of such a description of the Downs as we publish this morning, to display the extent and depth of this national instinct. It was impossible even to walk through the streets, much Jess to mix with any society whatever during the last few days, and fail to discover that the Derby was more or less in everybody's thoughts. That Parliament should sys tematically postpone its business, that the rigid dis cipline of the army should be modified, for this single race, are but natural developments of the feeling which pervades every class of society ; and in pro portion to the interest felt in the contest are the efforts which are made to secure the prize. Into those short two and a-half minutes is concentrated an ex penditure of wealth, skill, labour, patience, anxiety, and excitement lavish beyond any possible concep tion. ThiS is the one honour which is equally coveted by all ranks who have the opportunity to engage in the struggle for it. English noblemen and men of wealth of all classes are each year straining every nerve to carry off this unique prize. It is no slight triumph, therefore, which the French have thus achieved. They have beaten all the energy, wealth,. and skill of Englishmen in their own most cherished pursuit. When we have enumerated, moreover, the special advantages which Englishmen possess in this contest, we must not forget the corresponding dis advantages with which a Frenchman enters upon it. It is a sport of no natural growth in his own nation ; the genius of the people has not hitherto shown any aptitude for it; and it is therefore almost single handed, and with but little practice, that he has had to encounter the wide-spread experience and enthu siastic energy of the English nation. Against such odds it is a rare and honourable triumph to have been successful. It must, indeed, in fairness be confessed that the winning horse came of English blood, was prepared by English trainers, and ridden by an English jockey. But still, no expenditure, however lavish, upon the mere machinery of English success would be sufficient, without the possession of genuine love for the sport and real skill in the owner of the stable. The French should receive the credit of having defeated .all probable anticipations. French imi tations of English sports have been the common theme of humourists, and were an especial delight to the most reticent, and perhaps the greatest of our humorous artists. If we venture to recall John Leech's pictures to the recollection of our readers, it is only in order to enhance the French success by the force of contrast, and we only wish the same artist were still living to acknowledge how the tables have been turned upon his good-humoured caricatures. It is not, however, merely upon a great triumph in an uncongenial contest that we offer our congratu lations to the French people upon this event. It is still more because this success may be the possible inauguration among them of one of the most healthy and useful of national habits. The benefit to the breed of horses, the amusement, and the. spectacle, are far from being among Englishmen the most im portant results of this sport. The Derby is really but the climax of a disposition which pervades Eng lish life from the top to the bottom. The love of manly exercises, of racing in all its forms, of vigor ous and friendly competition in trials of strength and skill, is one of the deepest and most influential of all the habits of this country. Perhaps it is the most potent of all the moral influences which de velope the character of our boys and young men. It educates that spirit of manly and generous rivalry which preserves our political struggles from the per sonal bitterness which marks similar contests in other nations. It teaches us how to respect one an other, and how to accept a defeat. It is just this rough moral frankness which, if we may on such an occasion observe on a defect, is one of the chief wants of French society. Not less important is the extraordinary influence which these common pas times exercise in binding together the different classes of the country. As " one touch of nature makes the whole world kin," so, by means of the Derby, for one day at least in the year, everybody in England, from peer to beggar, has one common interest. It is these rough touches, again, of common hu manity which are so especially wanted in a country like France in order to supply the cement which an artificial organisation of society more par ticularly needs. If, therefore, the French should be so encouraged by this auspicious success as to adopt to any large extent our English habits of sport, a real and permanent benefit would have been con ferred upon them by the enterprise of French sports men. It seems to be quite agreeable to French habits that such changes should begin from the top, and not from the bottom. The Emperor, is endea vouring to establish liberty by introducing it from above instead of letting it grow up from below, and it is but following his example for a few Frenchmen to take the initiative in introducing English sports. We sincerely wish the two experiments an equal success. It is a happy thing that this friendly and genial rivalry should he the most exciting contest which the two nations are now engaged in. Just 50 years ago we were occupied in a very different struggle. It may be hoped we have both grown wiser since then, and that the race of yesterday is a type of all the contests in which we shall for the future be engaged. At the date we refer to we were struggling against a gigantic scheme to obliterate all the peculiarities of nations in one vast French domi nation. A truer conception of cosmopolitanism has succeeded to that delusive dream. Nations are now learning to unite, not by destroying, but by adopt ing one another's characteristics. Each is learning of each, and conquering its rivals by submitting to, their customs and laws. In this spirit the French are with no slight success appropriating our vic tories by adopting our principles and practice. We have, however, as much to learn from them as they have from us, and we only hope we may imi tate them with equal energy and with similar suc cess. POST.—We congratulate our neighbours on their success. The cheers which saluted the winner of the Derby of 1865, on the broad downs of Epsom, will prove to the French how sincerely we acknowledge the deserts of the best horse, andhow contentedly we resign, for the first time in history, the " blue riband" to the winner who fairly bears it away. We have been honourably beaten on our own ground, and surpassed where we fondly thought we were unsurpassable. A few may talk of the French horse being after all the product of English blood, but we think it absurd to rob the victor of one single leaf of the wreath which he has won. Besides the mere question of blood, there are the questions of train ing, judgment, and capital for the risk 'of large stakes. The French have now produced gentlemen sufficiently imbued with the love of sport to give all the necessary attention, anxiety, and care, as well as to run the concurrent risks incumbent on those who aspire to the highest honours of the turf. Many a sporting' member of our aristocracy, many an eager commoner, and even Prime Ministers, have for years sought, and often in vain, for the glory of winning the Derby. The great national race confers immortality on its winner, and in the sporting world of England the very years are known by the names of the successful horses. Strange as it may sound, this is Gladiateur's year when Lagrange wins the Derby. The French will be exultant, for they in vest these matters with an international interest, and look upon them as a positive struggle between the two countries. About their grand and glorious victory there is happily no drawback; • The race was fair. Thirty magnificent thoroughbreds started, and of these at least six were horses of themost admirable kind—of illustrious parentage, costing great sums, and backed for vast risks. The courage that could meet them deserved a triumph, and the magnificent animal sent by the French stable justified the auda city of his owner, who ventured to encounter the whole sporting power of England on its chosen histo ric ground. This notable event will do as much for the entente cordiale as diplomatic alliances or treaties of commerce. It will promote an immense good feeling between the two people. The English will respect French prowess, while the French will not fail to observe the honest cheerfulness with which we can meet defeat A false and most deplorable impression was raised among our neighbours on the occasion of the victory of File de I'Air two years ago. That redoubtable mare was hissed on her winning, not because she won, but because a popular impression had got abroad that she bad purposely and unfairly lost a previous race. The fact was misrepresented. The French were made to believe that she was hissed from jealousy, and, arguing from these premises, they might Nved suppose that on the present occasion horse ann; jockey would be torn to pieces by a populace mat; at seeing the sacred and time-honoured prize u ` the English turf snatched from us. On the con trary, however, they will find it chronicled in every journal, and they will hear from their own, correspondents that the triumph of Gladiateur a nd Count de Lagrange was hailed with shouts ev en more lusty than those which would have greete d a Breadalbane, an Archimedes, a Christmas Carob or any other of the number of Derby runners wh o won favour by their own merits or from the pope" larity of their owners. It must be acknowledg e, ' that fair play is ever the guiding principle of the English, and in accordance with its dictates the multitude at Epsom hailed with unanimous a nd enthusiastic acclamation the achievement of the best horse of 1863. To the voice of that vast constitu ency will be added the congratulations of all Pig' land, who, by a quasi-plebiscite, will acknowledge the hardly-earned honours of the victorious French. The event is almost a surprise, but it has been brought about in the most legitimate manner ; an d while we shall assuredly do our best to prevent its recurrence, and to maintain the pre-eminence of England in all matters of sport, we shall welcome the rivalry of our neighbours, promising them that in all future contests they will find, as they foun d yesterday, " a fair field and no favour."
