AMERICA. LIVERPOOL, SEPT. 15. The Royal mail steamship Canada has arrived, with advises from New York to the 3d, Boston to the 4th, and telegraphic news from the former port, vi' Halifax, to the sth. The Arabia had arrived out. The Secretary of the Treasury had issued the fol lowing appeal on behalf of the Federal Loan g , Your National Government, compelled by a guilty conspiracy culminating in causeless insurrec tion is engaged in a war for the security and liberty, for the supremacy of the law, for the defence of the Union, and for the maintenance of popular institu tions. For the means to defray the necessary ex penses of this war your Congress has directed that an appeal be made to you by opening a subscrip tion to a national loan of 150,000,000 dols. Already the, enlightened and patriotic capitalists of the great cities of New York, Philadelphia, and Boston have manifested their clear sense both of duty and inte rest by a subscription of 50,000,000 dols. Congress, under which this subscription was received, wisely provides, however, that the advantages, as well as the patriotic satisfaction of a participation in this loan, shall be offered, not to the capitalists of the great cities only, but to the people of the whole country. In order to secure a substantial reward for their public spirit to those whose patriotism prompts them i n this hour of trial to place their means at the disposal of the Government, Congress has di rected that an interest of 7 3-10ths per cent. be paid on the several amounts subscribed, an interest not liable to State taxation, but constituting for sub scribers a revenue not only certain in receipt, but greater in amount than can be expected from any ordinary investment. And, in order to afford all citizens equal opportunities of participation in these advantages, Congress has further directed that sub scriptions be received for sums as small as 50 dols., as well as for large amounts, and that should the subscriptions exceed the sum desired, the smaller be preferred in its distribution. Each subscriber on pay ment of its subscription will be entitled to receive Treasury notes, equal in amount, in such denomina tions as he may prefer, whether of 50, 100, 500, 1,000, or 5,000 dollars. The interest, at 7 3-10ths per annum will be on the notes of 50 dols , lc.; on 100 dols., 2 c. ; on 500 dols., 10c. ; on 1,000 dole., 20c. ; and on 5,000 dols. 1 dol. each day. All the Treasury notes will bear dates on Aug. 19, 1861, and will carry interest from that date. Each note will have coupons attached expressing the several amounts of semi-annual interest, which coupous may be detached from the notes and presented for payment separately. Each subscriber may pay the whole amount subscribed at the time of subscription, or if he prefers to do so, may pay one-tenth at that time and one-third every twentieth day thereafter. At each payment the accrued interest on the amount from Aug, 19 to the date of payment must also be paid, and the amount of interest thus paid will be reimbursed in the payment of the first coupon. In order to secure beyond peradventure the punctual payment of the interest and the gradual reduction of the principal, Congress has provided by law for an annual revenue amply sufficient, not only for those purposes, but for the prompt payment of all demands on account of extraordinary expenditures. It will be seen at a glance that not only is the whole property of the country pledged for the interest and final reimbursement of the loan, but that an ade quate and specific proportion of the annual produc- tion is set apart by taxation for the redemption of this pledge. Prompt payment beyoni a contingency is thus insured. Nor can this taxation be thought great when compared with the magnitude of the objects of the contest, or with the amount of pro perty and production. The objects are union, per manent peace and security at home, and respect abroad, which are imperilled by this unprovoked rebellion. The intelligence of the people compre hend at once their magnitude. They rise above party ; they belong to no administration ; they con cern the whole country during all time, under every Administration, and in every relation, both foreign or domestic. And the means for the attain ment of these great objects can be readily supplied from the prosperity and produc tions of the country. The real and personal values in the United States reach the vast aggregate of 16,000,000,000 dols., and in the States now loyal to the Union this aggregate is 11,000,000,000 dols. The yearly surplus earnings of the loyal people are estimated by intelligent persons conversant with such investigations at more than 400,000,000 dols., while the well-considered judgment of military men of the highest rank and repute warrant the confi dent expectation that if the war is prosecuted with energy, courige, and skill it may ba brought to a termination before the close of the ensuing spring ; in which event the cost beyond the revenue will hardly exceed the amount of the 250,000,000 dols. loan authorised by Congress, and, with a due eco nomy in all branches of the public service, not more than the total expenditures of Great Britain or France in years of peace. And it is not un reasonable to hope that the auspicious result of peace may be hastened by the reflection of the citi zens of the States in insurrection that they will re view their action, weigh their own welfare, con sider the disposition of the people of the whole country to recognise all their constitutional rights and to allow them their full share in the benefits of the common government, and renew their alle giance to the Union, which in an evil hour they have been tempted to throw off. Will they not reflect that the war into which the Government has been constrained is not a war for their subjuga tion, but a war for national existence, and that an auspicious result to the 'Union will benefit as largely the States in insurrection as the States which have remained loyal ? However this may be, the duty of the National Government, as the constitutionally constituted agent of the people, admits of no question. The war made necessary by the insurrection, and reluctantly accepted by the Government, must be prosecuted with all pos sible vigour until the restoration of the just autho rity of the Union shall insure permanent peace. The same good Previdence which conducted our fathers through the difficulties and dangers which beset the formation of the Union, has graciously strengthened our hands for the work of its preserva tion. The crops of the year are ample ; the granaries and barns are everywhere full. The capitalists of the country come cheerfully forward to sustain the credit of the Government ; already, and even in advance of this appeal, men of all occupations seek to share the honours and advantages of the loan. Never, except because of the temporary depression caused by the rebellion, and the derangement of busine ss occas i oned b y i t, were the people o f t h e United States in a better condition to sustain a great contest than now. Under these favouring circumstances and for these grand objects I shall, in pursuance of the Act of Congress, cause books of subscription t o b e opened as speedily as practicable P in the several citie s and principal towns of the United States, in order that all citizens who desire to subscribe to the loan may have the opportunity of doing so. Meanwhile those who prefer that course can remit any sum which they may wish t o i nves t in the loan to the Treasury of the United States at Waihington, or to either of the Assistant-Treasurers at Boston, New York, or Philadelphia, or St. Louis, or to the Depository at Cincinnati, whe re certifis' cates will entitle the holders to Treasury notes on the terms already stated. The patriotism of the people, it is not to be doubted, will promptly r e _ spon d to the liberal wisdom of their representatives, S. P. CHASE, Secretary of the Treasury." The following is General Butler's report of the expedition to Cape Hatteras : " United States' Flagship Minnesota, Aug. 31. " General, —Agreeably to your orders I embarked on the transport steamers Adelaide and George Peabody 500 of the 20th Regiment of New York Volunteers, Col. Weber commanding; Captain Jar dine's company, 9th Regiment New York Volun teers, with 100 of the Union Coastguard, Captain Tzon commanding, and 60 of the 2d United State s , Th rt e , r i4 erY , Lieut. Lamed commanding, as a force to ra ' ana te o :; i conjunction with the fleet under com forts at liEtatf Officer Stringham, against the rebel << We left eForr" rnlet. o'clock mi t e rvas Monroe on Monday at one eras,off H a tt eras Inlet iatat ship of our fl ee t arr i v ing allout four o'clock on Tuesday afternoon. Such preparations as were possible for the landing were made in the evening, and at daylight next morning dispositions were made for an attack upon the forts by the fleet and for the landing of the troops. Ow in g to the previous pre valence of south-west gales, a heavy surf was breaking on the beach. Every effort was made to land the troops, and after about 315 men were landed, including 55 marines from the fleet, and the regulars, both the iron boats upon which we depended were swamped in the surf, and both flat boats were stove, and a brave attempt being made by Lieutenant Crosby, United States' Navy, serving with the army as post captain at Fortress Munroe, who had volunteered to come down with the steam tug Fanny, belonging to the army, to land in a boat from the war steamer Pawnee, resulted in beaching the boat, so that she could not be got off. "It was impracticable to land more troops be cause of the rising wind and sea, Fortunately a 12-pounder rifled boat gun, loaned us by the flag ship, anea 12-pound howitzer were landed, the last slightly damaged. Our landing was completely covered by the shells of the Monticello and the Harriet Lane. I was on board the Harriet Lane, directing the disembarkation of the troops by means of signals, and was about landing with them at the time the boats were stove. We were induced to desist from further attempts at landing troops by the rising of the wind, and because in the mean time the fleet had opened fire upon the nearest fort, which was finally silenced and its flag struck. No firing had been opened upon our troops from the other fort, and its flag was also struck. Supposing this to be irsignal of surrender, Colonel Weber ad vanced his troops already landed upon the beach. "The Harriet Lane, Captain Faunce, by my direction, tried to cross the bar to get in the smooth water of the inlet, when fire was opened upon the Monticello, which had proceeded in advance of us, from the other fort. Several shots struck her, but without causing any casualties, as I am informed. So well convinced were the officers of both navy and army that the forts had sur rendered at this time, that the Susquehanna had towed the frigate Cumberland to an offing. The fire w as then reopened, as there was no signal from either, upon both forts. In the meantime a few men from the Coastguard had advanced up the beach, with Mr. Wiegel, who was acting as volun teer aid, and whose gallantry and services I wish to commend, and took possession of the smaller fort, which was found to have been abandoned by the enemy, and raised the American flag thereon. " It had become necessary, owing to the threa tening appearance of the weather, that all the ships should make an offing, which was done with reluc tance, from necessity thus leaving the troops upon shore, a part in possession of the small fort about 700 yards from the large one, and the rest bivou acked upon the beach, near the place of landing, about two miles north of the forts. " Early the next morning the Harriet barque ran in shore for the purpose of covering any attack upon the troops. At the same time a large steamer was observed coming down the sound, inside the land, with reinforcements for the enemy; but she was prevented from landing by Captain Johnson, of the Coastguard, who had placed the two guns from the ship and a six•poander captured from the enemy in a small sand battery, and opened fire upon the rebel steamer. " At 8 o'clock the fleet opened fire again, the flagship being anchored as near as the water allowed, and the other ships coming gallantly into action. It was evident, after a few experiments, that our shots fell short. An increased length of fuse was telegraphed, and firing commenced with shells of 15 seconds fuse. I had sent Mr. Fiske, acting aide-de-camp, on shore, for the purpose of gaining intelligence of the movements of the troops of the enemy. I then went with the Fanny for the purpose of effecting a landing of the remainder of the troops, when a white flag was run up from the fort. " I then went with the Fanny over the bar into the inlet. At the same time the troops under Col. Weber marched up the beach, and signal was made from the flagship to cease firing. " As the Fanny rounded in over the bar the rebel steamer Winslow went up the channel, hav ing a large number of rebel troops on board which she had not landed. We threw a shot at her from the Fanny, but she proved to be out of range. I then sent Lieut. Crosby on shore to de mand the meaning of the white flag. The boat soon returned, bringing Mr. Wiegel, with the fol lowing written communication from Samuel Barron, late captain in the United States' Navy:— " MEMORANDUM. " ' Flag Officer Samuel Barron, Confederate States' Navy, offers to surrender Fort Hatteras, with all arms and muni tions of war, the officers allowed to go out with side arms, and the men without arms to retire. " ' S. BARRON, Commanding Naval Defence, Virginia and North Carolina." "Fort Hatteras, Aug. 29, 1861." " Also a verbal communication, stating that he had in the fort 615 men, and 1 00 more within an hour's call, but that he was anxious to spare the effusion of blood. " To both the written and verbal communications I made the reply which follows, and sent it by Lieut. Crosby : " ' MEMORANDUM. " Benjamin F. Butler, Major-General United States' Army, commanding, in reply to the communication of Samuel Barron, commanding forces at Fort Hatteras, can not admit the terms proposed. The terms offered are these : " ' Full capitulation. " The officers and men to be treated as prisoners of war. " other terms admissible. " ' Commanding officers to meet on board flagship Min nesota to arrange details. " August 29, 1861.' " After waiting three-quarters of an hour, Lieut. Crosby returned, bringing with him Capt. Barron, Major Andrews, and Colonel Martin, of the rebel forces, who on being received aboard the tug Fanny, informed me that they had accepted the terms pro posed in my memorandum, and had come to sur render themselves and their command as prisoners of war. " I informed them that as the expedition was a combined one from the army and navy, the sur render must be made on board the flagship to Flag Officer Stringbam, as well as to myself. We went on board the Minnesota for that purpose. On ar riving there the following articles of capitulation were signed, which I hope will meet your ap proval:— " United States Flagship Minnesota, off Hat teras Inlet, Aug. 29, 1861. " ' Articles of capitulation between Flag Officer String ham, commanding the Atlantic blockading squa dron, and Benjamin F. Butler, Major-General United States' Government, and Samuel Barron, commanding the naval forces for the defence of North Carolina and Virginia, and Colonel Martin, commanding the forces, and Major Andrews, com manding the same forces at Fort Hatteras. " ' It is stipulated and agreed between the contracting parties that the forces ender the command of the said Bar ron, Martin, and Andrews, and all munitions of war, arms, men, and property under the command of said Barron, Martin, and Andrews, be unconditionally surrendered to the Government of the United States in terms of full capi tulation ; and it is stipulated and agreed by the contracting parties on the part of the United States' Government that the officers and men shall receive the treatment due to pri soners of war. " ' In witness whereof we, the said Commodore String ham and General butler, on behalf of the United States, and the said Barron, Martin, and Andrews, representing the forces at Hatteras Inlet, hereunto interchangeably set our hands this 29th day of August, A.D. 1861, and of the independence of the United States the 85th year.

BARRON, Flag Officer Confederate States' Navy, CommandingNavalDefences Virginia and North Carolina. " Wm. F. MARTIN, Colonel 7th Regiment In fantry, North Carolina Volunteers. " W. S. G. ANDREWS, Major Commanding Forts Hatteras and Clark.' I u I then landed and took a formal surrender of the forts with all the men and munitions of war, inspected the troops to see that all the arms had been proporly surrendered, marched them out and embarked them on board the Adelaide, and marched my awn troops into the fort and raised our flag upon it, amid the cheers of our men and a salute of 13 gn. ns which had been shotted by the enemy. The embarkation of the wounded, which was con- THE 7 j 7SUNI, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, S PTE 'AMER 17, 1861.: ducted with great care and tenderness from a tem porary wharf erected for the purpose, took so long that night came on, and it was so dark that it was impossible for the pilots to take the Adelaide over the bar, thereby causing delay. "I may mention in this connexion that the Ade -1 laide, in carrying in the troops at the moment that my terms of capitulation were under consideration by the enemy, had grounded upon the bar; but by the active and judicious exertions of Commander Stellwagen after some delay was got off. At the same time the Harriet Lane, in attempting to enter over the bar, had grounded and remained fast. Both were under the guns of the fort. This to me was a moment of the greatest anxiety. By these accidents a valuable ship of war and a transport steamer, with a large portion of my troops, were within the powe,r of the enemy. " I ,had demanded the strongest terms, which he was coilsidering. He might refuse, and, seeing our disadvantage, renew the action. But I determined to abate n, It a tittle of what I believed to be d ue to the dignity of the Government, nor even to gi ve an official title tt. 1 the officer in command of the rebels. Besides, my tT ‘g was in the inlet, and at least I could carry on the engagement with my two rifled six pounders, we1,. 1 supplied with Sawyer's sh ells. " Upon taking poL isession of Fort Hatteras, I found that it mounted 10 ouns, with four yet unmanned, and one large 10-incsh columbiad, all ready for mounting. I append ti:ve official muster-roll of Col. Martin, furnished by him', of the officers and men captured by us. "The position of the fort ie an exceedingly strong one, nearly surrounded on au' sides by water, and only to be approached by a march of 500 yards cir cuitously over a long neck of. land, within half musket range, and over a causeway a few feet only in width, and which was commanded by two 32 pounder guns, loaded with grape and canister, which were expended in our salute. It has a well-protected magazine and bomb-proof, capable of sheltering some 300 or 400 men. The parapet was nearly of octagon form, inclosing about two-thirds of an acre Df ground, well covered with sufficient traverses and ramparts and para pets, upon which our shells had made but little im pression. The larger work nearer the inlet was known as Fort Hatteras. Fort Clark, which was about 700 yards northerly, is a square redoubt, mounting five guns and two six-pounders. The enemy bad spiked these guns, but in a very ineffi cient manner, upon abandoning the fort the day before. " I had all the troops on shore at the time of the surrender of the forts, but re-embarked the regu lars and the marines. Finding it impossible with out a delay of the fleet, which could not be justi fied under the state of things at Fortress Monroe, and owing to the threatening appearance of the weather, I disembarked the provisions, making with the provisions Captured about five days' ra tions for the use of the troops. " On consultation with Flag-officer Stringham and Commodore Steliwagen, I determined to leave the troops and hold the fort, because of the strength of the fortification, its importance, and because, if again in possession of the enemy with a sufficient armament, of the very great difficulty of its cap ture, until I could get some further instructions from the Government. " Commodore Stringham directs the steamers Monticello and Pawnee to remain inside, and these, with the men in the forts, are sufficient to hold the position against any force which is likely, or indeed possible, to be sent against it. The importance of the point cannot be overrated. When the channel is buoyed out any vessel may carry 15 feet of water over it with ease. Once inside, there is a safe har bour and anchorage in all weathers. From there the whole coast of Virginia and North Carolina, from Norfolk to Cape Lookout, is within our reach by light-draught vessels, which cannot possibly live at sea during the winter months. From it offensive ope rations may be made upon the whole coast of North Carolina to Bogue Inlet, extending many miles in land to Washington, Newbern, and Beaufort. In the language of the Chief Engineer of the rebels, Colonel Thompson, in an official report, it is the key of Albemarle. In my judgment it is a station second in importance only to Fortress Monroe on this coast. As a depot for coaling and supplies for the blockading squadron it is invaluable. As a harbour for our coasting trade, or inlet from the winter's storm or from pirates, it is of the first im portance. By holding it, Hatteras light may again send forth its cheering ray to the storm-beaten mariner, of which the worse than Vandalisin of the rebels deprives him. It has but one drawback—a want of water; but that a condenser like the one in operation at Fortress Monroe, at a cost of a few hundred dollars, will relieve ln fine, General, I may congratulate you and the country upon a glorious victory in your department, in which we captured more than 700 prisoners, 25 pieces of artillery, 1,000 stand of arms, a large quantity of ordnance stores, provisions, three valu able prizes, two lightboats, and four stands of colours, one of which had been presented within a week by the ladies of Newbern, North Carolina, to the North Carolina defenders. " By the goodness of that Providence which watches over our nation, no one either of that fleet or army was in the least degree injured. The enemy's loss was not officially reported to us, but was ascertained to be 12 or 15 killed and died of wounds and 35 wounded. " I also enclose herewith the official report of the rebel wounded, by Dr. Wm. M. King, of the United States' storeship Supply. " I have the honour to be, very respectfully, your obedient servant, " BENJ. F. BUTLER, " Major• General United States' Army, Commanding Volunteers. "To Major-General John E. Wool; Commanding Department of Virginia." General Butler, on his arrival in Washington from Cape Hatteras, received an ovation, and made the following speech : " Fellow Citizens,—l am by far too much compli mented by this expression of your kind regards, and I take it to be a compliment to the cause which we all love, and for which any of us are ready at this hour to lay down our lives. It can be no mere per sonal congratulation, no mere regard for one whom accident made a participator in an event which I hope will have some effect on the future of our country's history ; but it is the result of the love you feel to the Union we cherish and the constitu tion we defend. (Cheers.) Were it any degree personal it would not belong to me, it would belong to the gallant navy under the command of Commo dore Stringham, whose hands were mainly success ful in achieving the result which you seem so much to welcome. Oh ! it was glorious to see that arm of the Union stretched out against its rebellious children. Would that you could have stood as I did, on the deck of one of the smaller vessels, and seen the Wabash, the Minnesota, and the Cumber land go into action, and then, looking afar off on the deep blue sea and observed the Susquehanna, which, by accident hearing :the firing, came up to have her share in what resulted in a glorious victory—(cheers)—and as the cannon roared out, one after another a rebuke to treason, it was music such as would lengthen a man's life long years to hear. (Cheers.) It came out that on the first day's cannonade the forts, which seemed from the dis tance in the cloud of smoke to be but one, were silenced, and the rag of Secession came down. We had supposed there had been a surrender, and measures were taker. to ascertain that fact. The Monticello stood in, with the Harriett Lane, for the purpose of making it certain, when treacherously the larger fort opened upon her, and succeeded in inflicting some injury, striking the vessel in eight places. The threatening aspect of I the weather made it necessary for us to draw off , leaving upon the land, under the command of Colonel Weber, of the New York 20th—who fought for the t o h l e dlandfatherland of fG p e t r io n a ma n y s he le would a ving , I fight say,for3ls of the United States' troops upon the rebel shore, with 700 and over of the enemy entrenched within 500 yards of them, there to bivouac under a cloudy sky, without tents, without provisions, and without any of the appliances necessary for safety or com fort save strong hands and brave hearts (cheers) ; and, my friends, it was an anxious night for those who had to remain on board in the efforts made to get into the offing, against the treache'rons gales of Hatteras, in order to make themselves safe for the morrow's contest. In the morning the fleet came into action, and at the moment of the landing of the remainder of the troops a white flag appeared on the ramparts of the largest fort, and it was my fortune to go forward and receive the first prelimi naries of the surrender of one who was once looked upon as an ornament of the navy which he had attempted to disgrace and to which he was obliged to surrender. And I think Ido no more than right when I here publicly speak his name, so that it may be for ever remembered, not as a disgrace to the navy, but as a monument of its triumph—Commo dore Barron (cheers) late of the United States' navy. He surrendered his sword drawn against the Union to Commodore Stringham, now flag officer of the Atlantic blockading squadron. With him surren dered 715 men, his associates, and they are now on the flagship Minnesota on their way to Fort Lafay ette, in New York, having surrendered uncon ditionally as prisoners of war. With them were taken 30 pieces of cannon and 1,000 stand of arms, camp equipage, such as the rebels had, and it was was scanty enough at that (laughter) ; provisions reasonably sufficient, munitions of war enough to have made a stouter defence if the position had been to them at all tenable. We retook a brig laden with that which they wished should reign over us— cotton (cheers and laughter) ; another prize brig which had been taken from our merchants, two light boats stolen from the shoals where they had been placed by the Government to warn the mariner of his danger, and a schooner loaded with the only pro duct of North Carolina besides rebellion, pitch pine wood. (Laughter.) Such were tae results of the gallant navy, assisted as well as might be by the army of the United States. Such, I trust, is but the beginning of a series of triumphs for that navy which has rendered the names of Decatur, Bain bridge, Perry, and Macdonough among the brightest lights of our country's history. (Cheers.) It will not be unbecoming in me, I trust, now and here, as an humble volunteer officer in the United States' army, to say that the aspersions upon the navy have been, to my knowledge, in a great degree unjust. Remembering in what condition the Seces sionists are, without a navy, and how long it takes to organise one, and that our navy was substan tially disorganised at the time this rebellion broke out—when you ask why have we not organised the navy sooner, I answer by saying why have not the Southern States organised some portion of a navy other than by stealing steamers from those who know how to build them ? (Laughter.) They have nothing of the sort. Why, then, expect impossi bilities from the Government in any of its depart ments? I only wonder that such a progress has been made in organising a navy. It is a progress that has no equal in the history of the world. Here we make our beginning. We have had our reverses. Upon one occasion a panic overtook our troops, but I do not hesitate to say that until that some man shall show me troops who have never been over taken by a panic I shall not believe that the fact is evident of a want of courage ; and hereafter with our troops, backed by the navy and our faithful ally of the North, Jack Frost—(laughter) — who shall come and clear away the malaria of the South, we shall march southward, as I said here not many weeks ago, from this place, and there shall be no footsteps backward until this rebellion is crushed out of this Union, and every man at the South shall have that which the Declaration of Independence says, and which the Secessionists quote, the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. (Cheers.) And now, my friends, I do not know how I may more properly take leave of you than by calling for three cheers for the gallant navy of the United States. (Loud cheers.)" On the 31st ult. the Provost• Marshal of St. Louis issued orders peremptorily forbidding any person passing beyond the limits of the county without a special permit from his office, and railroad, steam boat, and other agents were prohibited from selling tickets to any one not holding a pass from the Pro vost Marshal. _ _ From Springfield our advices are to the 30th ult., and report that 5,000 Texas, Louisiana, and Ar kansas troops were moving towards Arkansas, under command of M'Culloeh. The last heard from him was at Chalybeate Springs, near Mount Vernon. His wounded were being moved southward from Springfield Hospital. General Price, with 10,000 or 12,000 men, was moving on the 29th towards Bolivia, and when last heard from was between Bolivia and Warsaw, moving towards Jefferson city. Only a part of General M'Bride's division remained in Springfield. General Prentiss's little army ar rived at Jackson. 10 miles west of Rolla, on the 2d inst. A Washington letter of the 2d states that Mr. Adam had written to his Government that— " He did not think the British Government con templated any change of position so long as the blockade continued. The remains of General Lyon, who was killed in Missouri, had arrived in Connec ticut. They were received oh the route with great respect. It was believed that another naval expe dition was on foot. No difficulty was found in ob taining men for the Federal navy, but the recruit ing for the army was very unsuccessful. At Boston the authorities, on the 31st, seized 50,0001 b. of tobacco, the alleged property of James Thomas, jun., of Richmond, which had arrived via Nashville and Louisville. It is stated in the New York papers that Kit Carson, of Indian fame, was in the neighbourhood of Salt Lake, raising a force of mounted rangers for the Federal service. A very unreliable report was cur rent at New York that President Davis was dead. papers captured at Cape Hatteras of a letter from R. G. Scott, late A wa m s o a ng pr o es t s he o r opy United States' Consul at Rio, giving a list of all the vessels leaving or about to leave that port.

The War Department was filling vacancies in the Volunteer forces by selecting for commission privates who had distinguished themselves by good conduct and fitness for command." • From the Potomac camps we learn that on the 3d the Confederates had completed their intrench ments at Munson's-hill, and it was apprehended that they would open fire on the Federal force at the Cross-roads. There had been some brisk skirmishing. The Confederates were erecting a f rtification about a mile below Murray Mason's on the land of Levi Deming's College Farm, five miles out on Little River turnpike, Virginia. The Con federate pickets had possession of the upper part of the farm, and the Federal pickets of the lower part. It is also stated that the Confederates were concentrating large numbers south of Alexandria, and erecting batteries near the mouth of the Occo quan river.. An engagement is reported to have taken place at Boone Court-house, Western Vir ginia, on the Ist, which resulted in the defeat of the Confederates with a loss of 30 killed, a large num ber wounded, and 40 prisoners ; Federal loss nil. The Federalists burnt the town. The Vermont State election, which took place on the 3d, resulted as follows :—Holbrook, 6,597 ; Smalley, 1,050 ; and Tracey, 841. Holbrook re ceived the votes of the Republicans and Liberal democrats, Smalley those of the orthodoxdemocrats, and Tracey those of the Union party. Judge Robinson Scott had been appointed Presi dent pro tent. of the Kentucky Legislature. The Richmond Enquirer of the 28th ult. publishes a letter from Fernandina, Florida, received at Savannah, saying that the crew of the pirate Jeffer son Davis had arrived there, that vessel having been wrecked on the bar while trying to get into St. Augustine. The Southern papers complain of the defective organisation of their commissariat department, and state that the health of the Southern army was far from good. The barque Scio, on her arrival at New York, re ported that on the 28th ult. she was fired into by the Federal gunboat R. B.

The captain of the gunboat apologised on the plea that he took the Seio for a auspicious pail. The ship, Henry C. Brooks, for Liverpool, loaded by a Newbern merchant, t with 900 barrels spirits of turpentine, 60 bales of cotton, 200 barrels of tar and resin, and 50 boxes of tobacco, had been captured off Cape Hatteras by a Federal cruiser. The Henry Hunt, of Philadelphia, prize to the Jefferson Davis, had been recaptured. The New York Surveyor had seized the following vessels :—The ships J. W. Fannin, Ohio, W. B. Travis, W. H. Wharton, Crest of the Wave, St. Charles, Harriet, Roger A. Hearn, and Trumbull; the barques Clara Haxall, Virginian, Sallie M'Gee, Mary Lucretia, Bounding Billow, Nuremburger, Flame, and Partheon ; the brigs Leni and Emily Keith; the schooners Fannie Currie, Ned, Mar shall, Manchester, Crenshaw, Lynchburg, and Haxall ; and the steamship Marion, formerly of the Charleston line. The World gives the following explanation of their seizure : The revenue department of this city displayed an unusual activity yesterday, which created no little surprise among the officials, who were sud denly ordered to assemble at a given hour for im mediate and mysterious service. It was stated in these columns a few days ago that clearances for the port of Matamoros, in Northern Mexico, were Do longer to be granted by the collector of this port, inasmuch as goods and provisions for the rebels were being transported there, and thence trans ferred across the frontier to the rebel state of Texas. In accordance with this order, the Sur veyor of the port seized, or put under surveillance yesterday, no less than 45 vessels at the different wharves, loaded with merchandise, and some of them cleared for Matamoros, while others had ob tained clearances for other ports, but are suspected of being destined for Matamoros, and held upon that presumption." The British ship Alliance, formerly of Charles ton, which sailed from St. John's, New Brunswick, with the avowed intention to run the blockade, is reported to have arrived at Beaufort, North Caro lina. The Orozimbo, of New Orleans, from Liver pool, in ballast, has been seized by the United States' schooner Argo. At Boston the barques Sumter and Moneynick, principally owned in Charleston, had been seized. The Philadelphia barque Rowena, from Laguira for Phildelphia, had been captured by the Confederate privateer Dixie. A despatch from Opolonsas, Louisiana, states that two steamers had landed cargoes of coffee, flour, and salt. BO iIANCE IN HIGH LIFE. RUGBY, MONDAY EVENING. This afternoon, at two o'clock, Richard Guinness Hill, nephew of the celebrated banker and stout brewer, of Dublin, was brought before C. M. Cal decott, Esq., and J. Atty, Esq., two of the War wickshire magistrates, at their offices, in this town, charged on a warrant with having " unlawfully and wilfully made, or caused to be made, to one William Herbert, then being registrar of births of and for the district of Rugby, for the purpose of being inserted on the register of births in the said district, certain false statements touching the par ticulars by the statute made and passed in the 6th and 7th years of the reign of his late Majesty King William IV., entitled, An Act for Registering Births, Deaths, and Marriages in Englard,' re quired to be made known and registered of and concerning a male infant, born of the body of one Amy Georgina Hill, by the said Richard Guinness Hill, her husband, in the district of Rugby afore said, on the sth day of January, in the year of our Lord, 1861." The prisoner is about 32 years of age, and of aristocratic bearing. He wore a large moustache, but his whiskers had evidently been shaven, although when apprehended he had on a large pair of false whiskers and moustache. He was to day dressed in a fashionable manner, wearing a mas sive gold chain and valuable watch. His sleeve links and shirt-collar fastenings were also of gold. He however presented a somewhat careworn and dissipated appearance. Mr. George Francis Cooke, solicitor, of 30, King street, Cheapside, London, appeared for the prose- I cation, and the prisoner was undefended. The matter was first placed in the hands of Brett, of the city of London detective force, and it was then surrounded by such an atmosphere of mystery, and presented so many difficulties of an apparently insurmountable character, that the hopes enter tained of the successful result of the exertions being made were by no means of a sanguine cha racter. As will be seen, however, success beyond all expectation has been achieved, and, as it now stands, the case evinces ability on the part of Brett and his assistants, which has rarely if ever been surpassed; and it is satisfactory to know that a child who, at his majority, will be entitled to L 14,000 a year, will through the present proceed ings take his proper position in society. The following is a general statement of the case as detailed in the evidence laid before the magis trates. Some years ago the mother of this child, then a young lady, the granddaughter of Sir Francis Burdett, was, it is believed, adopted by Miss Bur dett Coutts, who took the greatest interest in her welfare. Everything that wealth could procure was placed at her disposal, and in course of time her ac complishments became of a high order, while her great beauty formed the theme of general Conversa tion in the higher circles. Her mother, Lady Bur dett, while staying at Brussels, received various offers for her daughter's hand. Amongst these was one made by the prisoner, who being a member of one of the oldest and most important families in Ire land, was at first regarded with considerable favour, and was ultimately accepted. After the marriage the prisoner and his wife lived together happily for several years, passing a considerable portion of their time in travelling. It is necessary here to state that a life interest on the lady's fortune, which was very considerable, with the exception of a small portion which was placed at her disposal, was settled on the prisoner at the marriage, andsubsequently she made a will devising the whole of her property, includ ing, it is understood, a valuable estate, absolutely to him in the event of no issue surviving her decease. In the beginning of 1859 Mrs. Hill, then residing in St. Stephen's-green, Dublin, expecting daily to be confined, and being desirous for her accouchement to take place in London, left Ireland with that view. While on her journey, accompanied by her hus band, she was taken unwell, and was unable to proceed beyond Rugby. There she was taken from the carriage and conveyed to the nearest place where accommodation could be afforded, a small beer-house called the Globe, about half a mile from the station, where she was delivered within two hours afterwards of the child involved in the present inquiry. A few days after wards the prisoner adopted a course to destroy the identity of the child, with the presumed object of possessing himself of the property devised by the will. As shown on oath the prisoner went to the registrar, Mr. Herbert, since deceased, and regis tered his child as " Robert Hill, son of Robert Hill and Mary Hill, maiden name Seymour." A week after the birth of the child the prisoner induced his wife to consent to put the child out to nurse, and came to London for the purpose of making the ne cessary arrangements. The day following his arrival in town he informed his wife that he had made arrangements that would be satisfactory to her and requested her to forward the child to Lon don by a train which he indicated. This train was not due in London until midnight. The mother, believing her husband's representations, entrusted her child, then only 10 days old, to Catherine Par sons, a girl 14 years of age, but the daughter of the woman who was then nursing her, and they left by the train mentioned by the prisoner. The child was wrapped in a shawl prized for particular rea sons by the mother, and, as will hereafter be seen, it forms an important ingredient in the case, and a box containing baby linen was also sent with the child_ Catherine Parsons states that on arriving at the Euston-square Station she was met by the pri soner. He took her in a cab to some part of the metropolis, with which, of course, as a country girl, she was unacquainted, and, having deposited the box, returned with her and the child to the vicinity of the Euston Station, where they were met by two women, one of whom she describes as a black woman, and both of them as being drunk. By Mr. Hill's direction she handed the child to one of these women, who asked if it was alive and clean, to which Parsons replied that she hoped it would be taken as much care of, and kept as clean as it had been at Rugby. Parsons had re ceived strict injunctions from Mrs. Hill to bring back the shawl in which the child was enveloped ; but when she endeavoured to do so, the woman replied that if she took the child she would take the shawl and all with it, and accord ingly retained possession of that article. Mr. Hill took the girl to the Queen's Dining-rooms, in Great Portland•street, Oxford-street, kept by Mr. Man ning, where she remained, the prisoner also occupy ing a room in the same house. On the following day the prisoner and the girl returned to Rugby, where she intimated to her mistress that the child had been placed in improper hands. The prisoner, however, combated this assumption by assuring his wife that the girl was entirely mistaken. From time to time Mrs. Hill expressed the greatest anxiety regarding the welfare of her Child, but her husbancbalways asseverated that it was in proper hands, and was progressing most satisfactorily, This state of things continued for about two years, and ut length Mrs. Hill told her husband that she insisted upon seeing her c hild. H e re f use d to comply with her request, a serious altercation took place, and he ultimately subjected her to gross ill-usage. Upon this a separation took place ; but a short time subsequently he made overtures to his wife to live with him again . She i n di gnant l y re pelled his offers for a time, but at length promised to consider them favourably, providing he satisfied her as to what had become of her infant. He in formed her, in return, that it was dead ; and she then demanded the register of its death, and pressed him upon this point. Being thus placed in a diffi culty, he altered his story, stating that the nurse in whose care he had placed the child had left England for Australia, he providing the passage-money. Mrs. Hill, who had been acting all through with the advice and cognizance of her mother, still doubted the truth of his statements, and placed the matter in the hands of Mr. Cooke, solicitor, who at once applied to Mr. Inspector Hamil ton, of the City of London detective force, fur assistance in elucidating the mystery which sur rounded the case. Mr. Hamilton judiciously selected Mr. Brett, to whose extraordinary ability, per severance, and foresight the present aspect of the case is to be entirely attributt.d. Having, after much labour, obtained certain information, Brett and Mr. Cooke issued the following bill, which was posted in great numbers in St. Giles's, and every other low neighbourhood in London, a copy at the same time being sent to every workhouse in the metropolis : " To Masters of Workhouses, Police Officers, Cabdrivers, and Others. CHILD MISSING. " Twenty pounds reward will be paid to any person or persons who may give such information as shall lead to the discovery of a male infant brought in the evening of or about the 17th January, 1859, in the care of a servant girl 15 years of age, to the Euston Station of the London and North-Western Railway, and opposite the station in Drummond-street, was given into the custody of two women by a gentleman aged about 30, five feet six inches high, thin, and fair, who went in a four-wheel cab, from the neighbour hood of the Haymarket, with the women. One of the women stout in person, about 40 years old ; the other very dark, thin, and tall, both dirtily dressed in cotton gowns. The infant was then but ten days old, and was enveloped in a large double plaid shawl, dark green and blue, rather faded. The infant was a fine healthy boy, and would now be about two years and a half old. The stout woman gave the name of Farebrother,' and the address of Litchfield street or Titchfield-street, Soho, and had meetings with the gentleman above-mentioned in Windmill-street, Hay market, early in January, 1859. " Whoever will give such information as will lead to the discovery of the child may receive the above reward. " Application to be made, and information to In spector Hamilton, City Police Detective Office, 26, Old Jewry, E.C.; or to George Francis Cooke, solicitor, 30, King-street, Cheapside, E.G. " June 8, 1861." _ _ The effect of the above was all that could be de sired. A woman named Mackay, living in St. Giles's, saw the offer of the reward, and had an in terview with the solicitor and the officer. She stated that about 18 months previously, when lodg ing in a house in the Seven-dials, a woman who occupied a room on the same floor, and who had no children of her own, one or two nights consecutively had a child in her room, which Mackay knew by hearing it cry. She spoke to the woman about it, asking her to whom the child belonged. Her fel low lodger replied that she had received it from a woman who had obtained it from another woman named Andrews, who had informed her that she had received it from a gentleman at a rail way station. Mackay added, that the female in question left the house a few days after wards, and she then knew nothing about her. Slight as this clue appeared, Brett worked upon it; and by dint of extraordinary perseverance he ulti mately discovered by its aid that the child his in formant had heard cry was the one being eagerly sought after. This, however, was not accomplished without great labour and some danger. The belief at first was, that the child had been " dropped" upon some door-step and had perished, or that it had been rescued from death only to become the inmate of a workhouse. Btett's primary inquiries were directed to that oint, but he soon found it to be fallacious. He then directed his attention to the discovery of the woman indicated by Mackay. He travelled from court to court throughout St. Giles's, and at length went to a filthy alley, called " Lincoln's-court," in Drury-lane. In one of the houses in this place he discovered the woman Andrews, and be also traced the child into her possession. After searching various rooms, Brett proceeded into a small apartment on the seeond floor. In one corner lay a man, nearly naked, ap parently in a dying state; and squatting all over the floor were several women in a most ragged and miserable condition. The whole place was in a dreadful state, the stench from the filth being almost overpowering. On the floor in this horrible den Brett discovered the heir to £14,000 a year almost in a state of nudity, and covered with vermin and filth. No shoes were on his feet, and only one dirty rag enveloped the entire body. The toes were terribly scarred with the impressions of wounds, no doubt inflicted by walking over stones, while the head and body generally showed unmis takeable marks of negligence and ill-usage. The house from bottom to top appeared to be occu pied by prostitutes and beggars ; and the officer only escaped with the child in safety by literally " parrying" his way through the s warm of people who blocked up every means of egress. Having at length reached the street, Brett placed the child and Mrs. Andrews in a cab and conveyed them to Mr. Cooke's office. Brett was afterwards informed by Mrs. A ndrews that on one wet Satur day she was standing in Windmill-street, Hay market, apparently selling songs and staylaces, but in reality begging with her two children, one in arms and the other in the gutter by her side, when the prisoner passed her, and in a furtive manner, slipped a shilling into her hand. Having passed and re-passed several times, he beckoned her to fol low him to a dark part of the street. She did so, and he then asked if she would take a child to nurse, telling her that she need only treat it as her own, and that she might, if able, dispose of it by placing ,it in some workhouse or asylum. She promised to procure the advice of a friend, and made an appointment for the following night in the same place. Prisoner kept the appoint ment, and at that meeting he agreed to give her 1.:16 a year for taking charge of the child, and told her to meet him at the same spot on the following Wednesday night, when he would take her to a place where she should receive the child. The fur ther appointment was also kept, but Mrs. Andrews was accompanied on this occasion by a woman named Mrs. Scott, alias Mary Ann Idle, who is at present undergoing twelve months' imprison ment in Tothill-fields for robbing a gentleman in the street. She added that all three went in a cab to the North-Western Railway Station in Eus ton-square, on the Wednesday night, where they received the child, as stated by the girl Parsons. Mrs. Andrews related the conversation she had with the girl as to how the child hld been treated at Rugby ; stated that her friend Scott, alias Idle, went with the prisoner to a beer-shop near the station, and there received £l5 from him to take the child away. She also stated that when she received the child it was wrapped in a shawl, which she afterwards pledged. Brett had redeemed the shawl, which had been identified by Mrs. Hill. The officer had asso obtained possession from Mrs. Andrews of a box which Mrs. Hill also identified as being the one sent by her with the child, filled with baby linen, and it was worthy of mention that the prisoner had, with the object of still further destroying identity, cut out all the marks which had been in serted upon the infant's clothing. Mrs. Andrews further stated that when the prisoner gave her the child, he told her that the mother was dead ; that he was a clerk, going to travel on the Continent ; but he gave her neither name nor address. She did not believe " all was right," and ultimately had the child registered in her maiden name, which was Farebrother. Brett tested the truth of that state ment, and found an entry in the book of the regis trar of St. Giles's to the effect that on the 28th of February, 1859, a child, five weeks old, had been registered in the name of Albert Farebrother—the name given by the pri soner to the woman when she received the child. To further prove the identity of the child, Brett went to every house where Mrs. Andrews had lived in St. Giles's from the time the child left Rugby to the hour of its recovery, and he found her statement true in every particular. He ascertained that on one occasion when Mrs. Andrews was sent to prison for begging, the child, with her own, was placed in St. Giles's workhouse, where it remained until she regained her liberty, when she used it as before for the purpose of exciting the commiseration of the public in her begging expeditions. Scott, alias Idle, had been seen in prison and corroborated all the features of the case, as detailed by Andrews, alias Farebrother. Upon its recovery the child was re stored to its mother, who, it was scarcely necessary to state, received it with unbounded expressions of joy and affection, Unfortunately, owing to the neglect from starvation and cold, it was still under the careful attention of eminent medical men, and its ultimate recovery was by no means certain. Upon the above facts being clearly established Mr. Cooke and Mr. Brett applied to the magistrates here for a warrant for the apprehension of the prisoner. The warrant was granted, but it could not be executed, inasmuch as the prisoner was not in England. He was known to be in Brussels, but as no treaty of Fx tradition existed, he could not be demanded. Mrs. Hill was advised to proceed to London, in the hope that the prisoner, who had pri va t e l y renewed his entreaties for forgiveness, would follow h er . Th e ruse ultimately succeeded, for on Saturday afternoon last the prisoner, having shaved off a large pair of red whiskers, and in their place substituted a pair of false black ones, eluded the vigilance of the Bel gian authorities, who were watching his movements, and succeeded in reaching London. By some secret means he had obtained the address of his wife (who had been located by her friends in a portion of the metropolis where it was thought she was safe from intrusion), and to her great surprise, while out upon a visit, she received information that the prisoner had endeavoured to see her. She, naturally much alarmed, sought the assistance of Mr. Brett, who hastened to the neighbourhood, and at last succeeded in securing him at a house a few doors removed from his wife's residence; and it was clear that he had taken the apartments for the purpose of overlooking his wife's movements. When taken into custody, prisoner said it was a bad job, but he must make the best of it. He was taken to Bow station, where he remained until this morning, when he was conveyed by Brett to this town, and placed before the magis trates. The evidence having been taken, Mr. Cook e app li e d f or a remand, in order to pro cure witnesses from Brussels (where prisoner had been living), including the British Vice-Consul, and also other persons necessary to complete the case. The Chairman (Mr. Caldecott) asked the prisoner if he had any reason to show why he should not be remanded. Prisoner—l have only just arrived from Brussels. I was not aware of this warrant, and I should like my brother and Colonel Burdett to be present. Chairman—But can you say why you should not be remanded ? Prisoner—No ; but I should like it for as short a time as possible. I must get my solicitor from Dieppe, and he will not be here to-day. I have had no opportunity to get him here. Mr. Cooke has, made these charges against me. I see my marriage settlements on the table now, but I could not obtain them before, although I have applied for them. Themagistrate suggested that the prisoner should withhold any statement he had to make for the present. Prisoner—Can I have bail till the next occasion ? I have not changed my clothes since I left Brussels. After some further conversation, The Chairman intimated that bail would be ac cepted, to prisoner in £5OO and two sureties in £5OO each, with 24 hours' notice. The prisoner was then remanded until Tuesday, the 24th instant. ANOTHER RAILWAY OFFICIAL COM MITTED FOR MANSLAUGHTER. On Thursday an inquest washeld at South Shields on the body of John Thompson, the carter killed on a level crossing on the South Shields branch of the North-Eastern Railway. It appears from the evi dence taken at the inquest that the gates across the turnpike had to be kept constantly closed unless carts had to pass. If a train was nearly due the danger signal had to be put on and the line blocked. On Tuesday last, about 25 minutes to 12 a.m., the ordinary train from Sunderland and Newcastle called at the Tyne Dock station and crossed the turnpike road all right. But 10 minutes after an express train from Pelaw Main with passengers from the south was due, and this train only calls at the Tyne Dock station when there are passengers to leave. and hence the greatest precaution had to be observed in passing it. About 20 minutes to 12 Adams had allowed a fish -cart to cross the railway. He forgot to close the gate after it passed. About a quarter to 12 a mason working at the station ob served John Thompson, labourer in the employ of Mr. Melburn, a contractor, coming up with a horse and. cart. He was sitting on the cart head and driving without reins; he passed within the gates, and was just about to cross the rails when Adams, the gate keeper, and the stationmaster, began to shout to him in a frantic manner, calling on him to put back. Thomson, hearing them, shouted to his horse, which, instead of stopping, jumped forward. Thompson leaped from the cart-head, and was turning his horse about when the express came down at a speed of 17 miles an hour. It smashed the cart shafts and. carried the horse and its unfortunate driver about 25 feet forward, mangling their bodies too horribly to describe. The engine-man, fireman, and guard stated that the whistle was sounded when the train was about half a mile from the station„ and again on reaching the stopboard, which was seen to be down for " All clear." The engine -man could not see the turnpike because of the station and some new buildings, and did not observe the horse and cart until the train was close upon them. The jury, after a long consultation, return e d a verdict of man slaughter against Adams, wh o was committed to Durham assizes for trial. Bail was taken. COUNTRY MARKETS. GLCESER.—SEPT. 14.
