All they can depend on is a supply of home luxuries, Indian corn and wheat, the flesh of pigs, eked out with a small supply of beef and mutton, will con stitute the staple of their food. Butter there will be none, and wine will speedily rise to an enormous price. Nor will coffee or tea be had except at a rate which will place them out of reach of the mass of the community. These are the smallest sacrifices of war. The blockade is not yet enforced here, and the privateers of the port are extremely active, and have captured vessels with more energy than, wisdom. //- . ..• ~ ...._ . ...... • At 4,. .____ ,_ 7O , ,-... ,• • vor L..... 1, , ~,,, , 0. , - '‘'i- t• * . , i. , .., . . ... % ::1 41,*1t : ~..." r+ -,. ) ~OSI Q iiiii . . ... .., . . •i , 6:: : :.

Address, HENRY SMITH, M.D., 8, Burton reseent, 'ravistock-square, London, W.C. AMERICA. LIVERPOOL, JUNE 12. The Etna, which touched at Queenstown yester day, has arrived. According to the Washington correspondence of the New York Times the Federal Government were quite alive to the dilemmas of the" situation." The correspondent of that journal says : "The Government is becoming embarrassed with the question of how the prisoners captured in this conflict now going on shall be disposed of. Our scouts are daily picking up men proved to have disunion sentiments, and already the number taken exceeds 100. The rebels are capturing Union men, assuming that the Government will exchange pri soners, and that by having a sufficient number they will be able secure the release of the 36 rebels captured at Alexandria. Here is the embarrassment. If the Government treat these men as rebels taken in arms against the Government they should be hung. This would not be deemed good policy, even did not humanity revolt against such a sacrifice of human life. On the other side, if the system of ex changes be adopted, there is in the act a recognition of the rebels as belligerents according to all laws of nations. The Cabinet has discussed this point several times without coming to any result, but it is probable that in the end the minor rebels will be discharged on parole, and the leaders only hung. The question as to what shall be done with the property of the rebel leaders is also being discussed, but as yet only incidentally. The Arlington estate belongs to Lee, the rebel commander in Richmond, and is probably the most valuable property in Virginia. Apart from the negroes, it would probably sell for a quarter of a million of dollars. The confiscation and sale of this property would probably do quite as much to restore the eastern part of Virginia to its allegiance to the Government as any one act that could be done, and there seems to be no good reason why it should not be subjected to the laws. Still, another troublesome point to decide is what to do with the "peculiar institution." It was alleged that the negroes of the South would follow their masters to the death. Our experience thus far does not justify this declaration. There was one negro deserted by his master at Alexandria, and there were 12 left on the Arling ton estate ; none of them evinced the slightest desire to run after their masters. They are, therefore, in a measure, the charge of the Governmi nt. It willbe readily understood that we cannot be long incumbered with such a charge, and, as the masters are flying from the wrath to come, we are likely to have more chattels than it will be possible for us to take care of, if we still profess to hold them in bondage. The Go vernment has no desire to interfere with private property, and will not, but it cannot be expected that the Govern ment will take the place of owners, when owners abandon their property. The Government has yet no despatches from Messrs. Adams or Dayton. The private advices repre sent that the British Government is getting cured of its penchant for the Southern Confederacy. It is probable that we shall have official despatches from both France and England by the steamer which will arrive on Saturday or Saturday nest." The Secretary of State had declared that in a . cases where it appears there was no fault in no obtaining proper clearances on the part of corn wanders of vessels coming from the South, the commanders should not be compelled to go into court, but on the correct representation of the col lectors where the vessels arrived the fines and fees which the law imposes should be remitted. Several vessels, improperly captured by the blockading force, had been ordered to be released. The New York Shipping List says : " It is probable that quite a nu mber of the vessels seized as prizes by the United States' Government may be released. A considerable proportion of them , it is likely, had no in tention of violating any law, and when this can be satisfac t irily proven it is fair to presume the Government will re lease them. Several have already been released, and among them are the schooners Belle Conway, Delaney ; William Henry, Passapea ; and Mary, from Richmond ; and J. H. Eltheridge, Edmonson, from St. Petersburg, which were all laden with tobacco, and were detained at Fortress Mon roe by the blockading fleet. They were released last week by order of the authorities and arrived at Baltimore." Another communication from Washington says — "'the Cabinet had. a meeting to-day, as was supposed, for the purpose of determining what should be done with the " inevitable chattel." Our officers are gutting more volunteers of that kind than wanted. In fact, the negro has become a kind of Tartar, that the Government can neither hold nor let go. The Cabinet adjourned without disposing of Sambo—not a surprising fact, considering that Sambo has been on hand so long." Proposals were to be received at the Washington Navy Bureau of Construction until the 15th of June for the complete construction and equip ment of the steam screw gunboats, including spars, rigging, sails, awnings, boats, cables, and anchors, tanks, casks, furniture, cooking apparatus, and all the outfits for vessels of war ready for sea service. The steam machinery, the fuel for the same, the armament, and the provisions would be provided by the Government. The vessels were to be launched in 60, 75, 90, and in 105 days from date of the contract, the vessel in each case to be completed and ready for sea in 30 days after being launched. General Scott had received an ear of green corn with the husks on, made up in a paper parcel, and subscribed as follows : ' " Confedrate States of America, Department of State, Montgomery, May 22. "Major General Scott, with the compliments of the Secretary of State. " W. P. ALEXANDER, Private Secretary." The object of this vegetable offering may be pre sumed to be that of showing the Commander-in- Chief how futile are blockades and armies as applied to reducing the Confederate stock of green-groceries. Two vessels had arrived at New York. bringing Federal troops from Texas, who had been allowed to leave that St a t e on con di t i on o f no t s erving against the Southern Confederation. General Butler, Commander of the forces at Fort Munroe, having appli e d t o t h e F e d era l G overnm ent respecting the disposition of the negroes who were " constantly flocking" into Fort Monroe, had re ceived the following : " War Department, Washington, May 30. ct sir,—You r action in r es p ec t t o th e negroes who came w ithin your lines from the service of the rebers is approved. The department is sensible of the embarrassments which must surround officers conducting military operations in a State by the laws of which slavery is sanctioned. The Go vernment c.innot recognise the rejection by any State of its Federal obligations, nor can it refuse the performance of the Federal obligations resting upon itself. Among these Federal obligations, however, no one can be more important than and dispersing armed combinations formed of overthrowing its wh , de constitu tional While, therefore, you will permit n o that authority. for of t suppr essingh e purpose interference by persons wider your command, with the News had reached Washington of an engagement which was going on between the United States' steamers Freeborn and Anacosta and the two bat teries of the rebels at Aquia Creek. Aquia Creek is 55 miles from Washington, and is the terminus of the Richmond, Fredericksburg, and Potomac Railroad. The report of the engagement is very meagre, merely giving us to understand that in the engagement, when last heard from, the advantage was on the side of the steamers, although one of them, the Anacosta, appeared to have been struck by a ball. When the news of the engagement reached Washington, two men-of-war were imme diately sent down to support the Freeborn and An acosta. Arlington Heights were in the occupation of four companies of United States' Dragoons, a bat tery of artillery, and by the New York Bth, 25th, and 69th Regiments. A portion of this force was ordered to advance on Fairfax Court-house, and, if possible, occupy it before daybreak. An engage ment was expected. From Fort Monroe we learn that the greatest confusion had prevailed among the Federal troops, .owing to want of experienee,an the part of the quartermasters and commissaries. Provisions not having been promptly distributed, foraging parties provided liberally for themselves, and in some in stances wantonly destroyed property. Colonel Phelps, of the Vermont Regiment, was in command of the post. A line of entrenchments 2,500 feet long was nearly completed. Colonel Duryea had issued a proclamation to the inhabitants of Hampton, declaring that the private property of loyal citizens would be respected. There was great activity at Fortress Monroe ; large quantities of war material and provisions were being lanned ; and it was thought an attack on Norfolk would soon be made. Fugitive slaves continued to flock into the camp of the Federal troops. It having been reported at Alexandria that the Confederate forces were about to make an attack upon the city, every preparation was made to re ceive them. A. new collector having been appointed at Alexandria that port was once more opened to commerce. Baltimore advices report that ex-Governors Pratt and Lowe had been arrested and sent to the Wash ington Navy yard. Charleston accounts are to the effect that General Beauregard had relinquished the command of the forces around that city to Colonel R. H. Anderson. The General had arrived at Memphis, to take com mand of the western division of the Confederate army. The blockade of the Southern ports would seem to be extending to the furthest points in the Gulf, as well as along the Atlantic coast. A telegram re ceived by the New York agent of Lloyd's, under • date of the 28th ult., announced the commencement of the blockade at that port (New Orleans) on the day mentioned, and requested him to notify the principals at London. A New Orleans paper states that the number of prizes taken by the privateers of the Confederacy, up to the 24th ult., was seven, representing a total value of 170,000 dols. The following are the prizes —The ship Milan, from Liverpool, with 1,500 sacks of salt, vessel worth about 20,000 dols. ; the bark Ocean Eagle, from Rockland, Maine, with a cargo of lime, worth about 20,000 dols. ; the schooner Ella, from Tampico, for Pensacola, with a cargo of bananas, oranges, &c., vessel and cargo worth about 5,000 dols.; the ship Marathon, from Marseilles, in ballast, worth 35,000 dots. ; the ship Abaellino, from Boston, with a cargo of ice, vessel worth about 20,000 dols. ; the ship Marshall, from Havre, in ballast, worth 50,000 dols. ; the ship John H. Jar vis, from Liverpool, in ballast, worth about 20,000 dols. An Act had passed the Confederate Congress prohibiting the shipment of cotton from the " Con federate State" except through the seaports of the said States. An Englishman who had arrived at New York from New Orleans had made the following doubt ful report : " A. novel feature in the militarymovements of the State was i body of 1,500 free negroes, rho were armed, and were daily drilling in New Orleans. Mr. Fairchild witnessed one of their parades. He states that they exhibit a fair profi ciency in their evolutions. The non-commissioned officers were selected from the negroes themselves, but they were commanded by whites. The whole body had enlisted for general service, and were subject to be ordered to any point, at the option of the authorities. Slaves, too, were being armed in many cases. This was especially the case in Caddo and St. Mary's parishes and in the sugar-growing portions of the Attakapas country. Many planters there had ob tained arms, and placed them in the hands of the most trusted slaves." Advices from Vera Cruz to the 12th ult. report the arrival at the capital of three new diplomatists commissioned to the Government—namely, by Eng land, Belgium, and tit ashington. Senor Mate, the newly-appointed Minister of Finance, had resigned, and another Ministerial crisis was expected shortly. Congress had at last formed a quorum. SOUTHAMPTON, WEDNESDAY. The Hamburg-Americ an Company's screw steamer Saxonia, Captain Elders, arrived off Cowes early this morning, with New York mails of the Ist inst. She brings 44 passengers for Havre and 187 for Hamburg, with 800 tons of cargo, but no specie. This vessel experienced fine weather and pleasant favourable breezes during the passage. Between long. 50 and 43 W., in lat. 4'7 to 48 N., numerous icebergs were passed. On the 2d inst., at 9 p.m., in lat. 41 17 N., long. , 66 20 W., the Saxonia passed a large steamer bound west, supposed to be the City of Washington, for New York ; and on the 9th, in lat. 50 18 N., long. signalled the B r iti s h ship Empire Queen, Th e steam-ship New York, hence on the 15th, arrived at New Y ork on the 28 th ; the America , from Liverpool , at Boston at 9 p.m. on the 31 st ; bou and the North Briton, from Liverpool for Quebec, was intercepted off Cape Race at 1 p.m. on the 31st. The batteries erected by the rebels at the mouth of Aquia Creek, the terminus of Richmond, Fre derickshurgh, and Potomac Railroad, and 55 miles below Washington, on the Potomac, were attacked on the 31st ult. by the Thomas Freeborn and the Anacosta. The Keystone State passed them at noon on her way to Washington, and reported that the batteries with suc the commander at the etNwhe Navy-yard, y steamersyeapr Captain adr,t immediately were n nts aabni dg rengagingente telegraph e d th e fact to the ,received instructions to send two additional war steamers to the scene of action at once. The capture of the batteries at Aquia Creek, which has, no doubt, been accomplished, is a stroke of the utmost importance, as it gives the Government possession of the railroad to Richmond. Captain Dahlgren states that the batteries opened fire on the Freeborn, Water Witch, and Anacosta. The vessels replied, and a brisk fire was kept up on both sides for an hour, till the ammunition run short on board, and the vessels hauled off. The two ships of war, with plenty of ammunition, which wero immediately sent from the Navy-yard, were expected to arrive off the creek at midnight, and the fire to be re-opened on the batteries next morning. It was stated in communications from Manassas Junction that the earthworks erected there by the rebels command both roads to Richmond and Har per's Ferry, for about four miles, but it was rumoured that the Secessionists had ceased the The Baltimore American of May 31 says : " There are said to be about 700 Marylanders at Harper's Ferry and vicinity under arms, formed into a regiment and temporarily organised with Colonel George H. Stewart, jun., as commander. General Lee was expected to visit Harper's Ferry yesterday, to examine the defences." All the speeches made at the recent sitting of the Massachusetts Peace Society were of such a belli gerent tone that it had been suggested that the members should enlist for the war. - - A despatch from Chambersburgh states that the rebel troops which had been stationed on the Poto mac opposite Williamsport, had fallen back in the direction of Martinsburgh. They numbered about 500, and had two small swivel guns. While sta tioned opposite Williamsport their numbers had been reduced by desertions to the number of 100, and the smallpox had also made some ravages among them. Their object in making a retrograde movement was not known, but they probably con sidered their proximity to the Pennsylvania forces disagreeab . e. The new Military Department of Kentucky to the command of which Colonel Anderson has been ap pointed, embraces all the State of Kentucky, which lies within 100 miles of the Ohio River. His head quarters for the present will be at Louisville. The New York _Herald of the Ist inst. thus an nounces the suspension of the postal service in the seceded States : " Let all our readers remember that from and after this day the United States' mail service is suspenled in all the Confederate revolted States, excepting those portions of Eastern Virginia occupied by United States' troops, and the loyal Western section of Virginia, the good people of which have refused to pass into the service of Moloch, and are as steadfast to the Union as the people of New York. The Confederate States have adopted an independent mail sys tom-5 and 10 cent postagts on letters ; but, as we under . . stand it, no letter to a party in a Confederate State, intended to be transferred from the United States to the Confederate mails at the boundary line, will be transmitted through the United States' mails. Mail matter for these States, of every description, will from to-day be sent to the dead-letter office." -- The Herald of the 31st ult. says : " From a careful calculation, we are satisfied that the force of Federal troops now in service at the different points, which may be considered seats of war, amount to fully 95,000, and this does not include the men in the various camps whose location is not yet decided upon. This farce is stationed and commanded as follows : No. Location. Commander. of men. South side of Potomac; Washington, &c Brig.-Gen. Mansfield ..22,000 Fortress Monroe ..Maj.-Gen. Butler .... 9,000 Pennsylvania West Maj.- Gen. Keitu ....16,000 Cincinnati and Western Va Maj .-Gen. M'Clelland.l3,ooo Cairo and vicinity Brig.-Gen. Prentiss 6,000 Baltimore, &c Bri,T.-Gen Cadwallader 5,000 Philadelphia, &c... Total 95,000 "We have reliable information that Mr. Davis and his entire Cabinet tcok formal leave of Montgomery on Sunday last, and proceeded to Richmond, where they are no doubt now located. They brought their families with them. Gen. Davis is to take command of the Confederate army in per son, and ex-Senator Wigfall, of Texas, has been appointed his chief aide-de-camp. Gen. Beauregard is in command at Norfolk. " The flattering reports of the Southern crops have been greatly exaggerated. They are by no means in as good a condition as represented, and the people are very uneasy about the prospect before them. In many places throughout the South provisions have already reached fabulous prices, butter bringing a dollar a pound, and other articles in pro- portion. " The blockade kept up by our squadron along the entire Southern coast is making itself felt already in the scarcity and consequent high price of provisions. Before it was put in operation the necessaries of life ranged at pretty nearly the bame rates in New Orleans as in New York. Since then, while there has been no appreciable difference here, prices have actwilly doubled in the Crescent City. Flour, which in New York costs 5 dols per brl, sells in New Or leans at from 9 dols to 10 dols ; corn, which costs 45c per bushel here, costs there from 75c to 85c; pork sells at 25 dols per barrel there, against 12 dols 50c here, and so on with other articles. In Virginia even provisions aro only to be had at famine prices, and that while hostilities are not yet a fortnight old in that State." ' The Richmond Whig advocates a British Protec torate in preference to coming back to the Union. The Wheeling (Virginia) Union, a strong Seces sion paper, has died for the want of patronage. Advices from Havannah to the 25th ult., state that the Consul• General had commenced a vigorous war on the flag of the Confederate States, and the commander of the Niagara had gone so far as to send armed parties on board those vessels which displayed it in the port of Havannah. Two cargoes of Coolies, amounting to over 700, had been landed. A telegraphic despatch from St. John's, New Brunswick, dated May 30, announces the arrival of Prince Alfred at that place : "Prince Alfred arrived here last night at midnight. Ile was received by the Governor and suite and civic authori ties. There was a large torchlight procession by the fire companies in uniforms." "The Prince has been driving about the city and out- skirts today. He leaves to-morrow morning for Frede rickton, and it is supposed he will proceed to Quebec by the River St. John and the Lakes to the River de Loup." The following letter from Halifax, giving details of the Prince's movements there, is published in the New York Herald : "HALIFAX, MAY 25. We understand that Admiral Sir F. Grey, and Commodore J. R. Drummond, C. 8., will fill the seats now vacant at the Admiralty Board by the death of Sir R. S. Dundas an d the retirement, from ill-health, of Adrairal Pelham. "Yesterday was the Queen's birthday, and it was cele brated by the usual review. What added most to the in terest of the scene was the presence of his Royal Highness Prince Alfred, who, albeit acknowledged only as a midship man in her Majesty's service, yet attended as the guest of Lord Mulgrave, Governor of Nova Scotia, his lordship's review of the garrison and Volunteers. The day was re markably fine, and your correspondent, by the kindness of his worship the mayor, was so placed as to have a most ex cellent view of the ceremony. His Royal Highness was seated with Lady Mulgrave in her ladyship's carriage. He was plainly attired in midshipman's. undress, the usual rosette being removed from his cap on account of the recent death of his grandmother, the Duchess of Kent, which cir cumstance also prevented many other public d einonstrations that would have otherwise taken place. The Prince re sembles his brother very much, but is apparently of a more lively disposition. He is, however, very much smaller. Among the distinguished people present were Gen. Prom ley, commander of the garrison; Admiral Sir Alexander Milne, K.C.8., and most of the officers of the fleet. The troops consisted of the 62d and 63d Regiments, both of which served in the Crimean war, as was honourably shown by the numerous medals that glistened upon their broad breasts as they marched by. The artillery, both of the regular service and of the Volunteers, was exceed ingly well served. The olunteer rifles presented a most soldierlike appearance, their uniform—a dark gray— presenting a strong contrast to their redoubted rivals, and the ostrich-like white uniform of the band. The 62d carried two tattered flags, that forcibly recalled to the spectator their late valour in Russia. The three cheers for the Prince were given as only British cheers ara given—full, regular, and deafening. The review lasted about an hour, when his Royal Highness was driven off to the Governor's house amid the long-continued plaudits of the people. " The fleet containing the Prince was signalled off the harbour on Sunday last, but the St. George was separated from the rest of the fleet by a storm, and did not arrive un til 9 p.m., May 22. The Prince disembarked at 11 the next day. The St. George is a first-class line-of-battle ship, mounting 90 guns, with au auxiliary power of 500 horses. Sho carries a crew of 800 men and a full staff of officers. Hon. F. Egerton, captain; E. H. L. Ray, commander. The St. George will not return to England for some time, but will remain upon the North American station. "The Prince will visit New Brunswick and the Canadas, and return to England in a small steamer some time in August. On account of the troubles in the United States, it is not probable that he will visit them at this time." • • There are doubts arising in my mind respecting. the number of armed men actually in the field in the South and the amount of arms in the possession of the Federal forces. The constant advertisements and appeals for " a few more men to complete" such and such companies furnish some sort of evidence that men are still wanting. But a painful and startling insight into the manner in which " Volunteers " have been sometimes obtained has been afforded to me at New Orleans. In no country in the world have outrages on British subjects been so frequent and so wanton as in the States of America. They have been frequent, perhaps, because they have generally been attended with impunity. English men, however, will be still a little surprised to hear that within a few days British subjects living in New Orleans have been seized, knocked down, car ried off from their labour at the wharf and the work shop, and forced by violence to serve in the "Volun teer" ranks ! These cases are not isolated. They are not in twos and threes, but in tens and twenties ; they have not occurred stealthily or in by-ways; they have taken place in the open day and in the streets of New Orleans. These men have been dragged along like felons, protesting in vain that they were British subjects. Fortunately, their friends bethought them that there was still a Bri tish Consul in the city, who would protect his countrymen—English, Irish, or Scotch. Mr. Mure, when he heard of the reports and of the evidence, made energetic representations to the authorities, who, after some evasion, gave orders that 019 im pressed "Volunteers" should be discharged, aeld e the "Tiger Rifles" and other companies were deprived of the services of 35 British subjects whom they had taken from their usual avocations. The mayor promises it shall not occur again. It is high time that such acts should be put a stop to, and that the mob of New Orleans should be taught to pay some, regard to the usages of civilised nations. There are sonic strange laws here and else where in reference to compulsory service on the part of foreigners which it would be well to inquire into, and Lord John Russell may be able to deal with them at a favourable opportunity. As to any liberty of opinion or real freedom here, the boldest Southerner would not dare to say a shadow of either exists. It may be as bad in the North for all I know, but it must be remembered that in all my communications I speak of things as they appear to me to be in the place where I am at the time. The most cruel and atrocious acts are perpetrated by the rabble who style themselves citizens. The national failing of curiosity and prying into other people's affairs is now rampant, and assumes the name and airsof patriotic vigilance. Every stranger iswatched, every word is noted, espionage commands every keyhole and every letter box ; love of country takes to evesdropping, and freedom shaves men's heads, and packs men up in boxes for the utterance of abolition sentiments. In this city there is a terrible substratum of crime and vice, violence, misery, and murder, over which the wheels of the Cotton King's chariot rumble gratingly, and on which rest in dangerous security the feet of his throne. There are numbers of negroes who are sent out on the streets every day with orders not to return with less than 75 cents—anything more they can keep. But if they do not gain that—about 3s. 6d. a day— they are liable to punishment; they may be put into gaol on charges of laciness, and may be flogged ad libitum, and are sure to be half starved. Can anything, then, be more suggestive than this para graph, which appeared in last night's paper : " Only three coroners' inquests were held yesterday on persons found drowned in the river, names un known ? " The italics are mine. Over and over again has the boast been repeated to me that on the plantations lock and key are unknown or unused in the planters' houses. But in the cities they are much used, though scarcely trusted. It ap pears, indeed, that unless a slave has made up his or her mind to incur the dreadful penalties of flight there would be no inducement to commit theft, for money or jewels would be useless; search would be easy, detection nearly certain. That all the slaves are not indifferent to the issues before them is cer tain. At the house of a planter the other day one of them asked my friend, " Will we be made to work, massa, when ole English come ?" An old domestic in the house of a gentleman in this city said, " There are few whites in this place who ought not to be killed for their cruelty to Its. Another said, " Oh, just wait till they attack Pickens !" These little hints are significant enough, coupled with the notices of runaways and the lodgments in the police gaols, to show that all is not quiet below the surface. The holders, however, are firm, and there have been many paragraphs stating that slaves have contri buted to the various funds for State defence and that they generally show the very best spirit. By the proclamation of Governor Macgoffin, a copy of which I enclose, you will see that the Gover nor of the Commonwealth of Kentucky and Com mander-in-Chief of all her military forces on land and water, warns all States, separated or united, especially the United States and the Confederate States, that he will fight their troops if they attempt to enter his Commonwealth. Thus, Kentucky sets up for itself while Virginia is on the eve of destruc tion and an actual invasion has taken place of her soil. It is exceedingly difficult of comprehension that with the numerous troops, artillery, and bat teries which the Confederate journals asserted to bo in readiness to repel attack, an invasion, which took place in face of the enemy and was effected over a broad river, with shores readily defensible, should have been unresisted. Here it is said that there is a mighty plan, in pursuance of which the United States' troops are to be allowed to make their way into Virginia that they may at some convenient place be eaten up by their enemies ; and if we hear that the Confederates at Harper's Ferry retain their position one may believe some such plan really exists, although it is rather doubtful strategy to penult the United States' forces to gain possession of the right bank of the Potomac. Should the posi tion at Harper's Ferry be really occupied with a design of using it as a point d' appui for movements against the North, and any large number of troops be withdrawn from Annapolis, Washington, and Baltimore, so as to leave those places comparatively undefended, an irruption in force of the Confede rates on the right flank and in rear of General Scott's army, might cause most serious inconve nience, and endanger his communications, if not the possession of the places indicated. Looking at the map, it is easy to comprehend that a march southwards from Alexandria could be combined with an offensive movement by the forces said to be concentrated in and around Fortress Monroe, so as to place Richmond itself in danger, and, if any such measure is contemplated, a battle must be fought in that vicinity , or the prestige o f i the South will receive very g reat damage. It s impossible for any one to understand tbe ments of the troops on both sides. These than position d e termined rather by local c b compmancviees aorfethsecastttaerteesd, a b n ro d a , dwohasetre concentratedoverth in any con e enormous e xpanse siderable numbers , seem to have u ha s d t a t n h e e e s r considerat i ons co nnected w ith the general p lan of a large campa i g n.

The annual meeting of this association was held yesterday in the Manchester Town-1 all. The at tendance was numerous and influentit 11. Mr. J. CHEETIIAM, the President, said the pre• sent state of circumstances affecting the supply of cotton to this country, alarming as it was, did not make the arguments of this associate on any stronger than they were at its foundation four years ago, though its principles might he more recognised now than they were at that time, by the many who then stood aloof. The leading principle of the association had been, from the outset, that this vast national interest of cotton mantis facture ought not to remain in almost total de, pendence on one source of supply for its ra w material, especially when the permanence of that source was so closely bound un with a WOcial system liable suddenly to break down and les .ve us in the direst emergency. He regretted very- much the in difference with which the question. had been regarded among the manufacturing interest itself, as compared with the anxious attention paid to it in all circles in the metropolis. Everywhere in London the question was being asketi. of them, " What are you doing in Lancascire, a.ad what is to be the result there of this crisis in the United States ?" Now that the crisis seemed in iminent, it was a matter for congratulation that this associa tion had already been in existence four ye. ars, storing up information and experience that might serve to guard us from ill-considered and disastrous experi ments. It was easy to report of this or -that part of the world that it was capable of supplying abundance of excellent cotton, but the point too often lost sight of was the enormous advantages possessed by the American planter. In the first place he had the pre-eminent advantage of being an Angie-Saxon, endowed with all the skill, enterprise, and ingenuity of that sacs. Then he had a country the soil and cli mate of which were is sudarly adapted for the cul ture of the article, from the lowest qualities up to the very finest. He had an adequate and intelligent acquaintance with the real wants of the consumers; his own country was covered with roads, railways, and navigation, so as to give him the greatest pos sible economy in conveying his produce to the port, and there also he met the capitalists who gave him the means of speedy communication with all the markets of the world. What, then, were the places on the globe where we were able to contend with a competitor so highly favoured ? On a review of all those parts of the world whence cotton might be expected to come, it was found that, apart from the southern portion of the United States, there were only two regions possessing the very first requisite, which was labour to employ; and these two were the West of Africa and the East Indies. Every other country possessing soil and climate fit for the growth of cotton of a quality equal and in many cases superior to that which America produced, was yet placed out of the question at present by the want of labour. And in the West of Africa, though there was labour, the people were savage, the coun try was desolated by the warfare of the hostile: tribes, and the climate also was fatal to Europeans. Thus we were at present restricted to that great continent of India, which was now actually growing more cotton than any other portion of the globe. It was calculated that the annual produce of cotton in India was not less than 6,000,000 bales. We also possessed the, advantage of having that country under our own Government. There, also, we had abundance of free labour ; there was no question of slavery to grapple with. And yet, there were f,,rmidable obstacles as co m p ared with the posi tion of the Americans. In the cotton districts of India, there was no such man known as the Anglo- Saxon. The cultivation was in the hands of the ryot, a small farmer holding a few acres of ground, and so poor himself as to depend on bankers for his capital. When his crop reached maturity the pro duce was taken by the moneylender, who, of course, had great control over the price, and it very little exceeded lid. or 1 1 1-d. per lb. The cotton was im perfectly cleaned, and underwent various adulte rations for the advantage of the succession of dealers through whose hands it passed before reaching those of the English merchant at the place of export. It was worthy of remembrance that scarcely any article exported from India had ever been brought to a satisfactory state of produc" tion, unless under European superintendence. But in India we were also without roads to the seaboard, without water communications also, and railways were only now on the point of be coming available. Another difficulty was the under stood principle of the Indian Government that no ' land should ever be sold in fee simple to Europees, and then there was the jealousy of the civil service, against enterprising Englishmen in the interior r : India, who were to this day regarded as interlopifeefl though an altered tone was beginning to be on the part of the Government. Underl cir cumstances it was not surprising thatnd and fetched was the worst grown in the whole worldere accustomed the lowest price, so that consumers w re lying on India as a s in this associa main source of supply. The znothverre ianihneacsneotto tion believed, nevertheless,that e was a prospect o yconsumed only th e I nth]. the dean quality pl y t tao level with The with that grown in Ame • country,not on butof increasingalsoelevating was 2,974,000 sx q quantity ourselves a e n ar t s i the Continent.

Probably we could reckon an 1,200,000 bales a year from Bombay. This association had to hand over the lately been enabled _.development of the cultivation of a superior quality of cotton in India to the efforts of a • • pint-stock company, who chairman was his friend Mr. Platt, of Oldham. (Applause.) As soon as the season rmitted, the company countries 2 excess 6 6 o I o n o d f balesoi a n p ro p ose d to sendout to Mr. G. R. Haywood, who had hitherto been the secretary of this association ; and Sir Charles Wood had placed at that gentleman's disposal the services of Dr. Forbes, who would accompany him. (Applause.) Mr. Cheetham referred again to the danger of relying exclu sively on America, and pointed to the fact that while the annual supply from the whole world in the last 10 years had averaged only 3,984,000 bales, the annual consumption of Great Britain, Europe, and America had been 3,960,000. The present price of cotton arose not so much from the actual crisis in America as from the practical knowledge that a million bales had been lost to us by the failure of the harvest. (Hear, hear.) Mr. H. ASEIWORTH moved the adoption of the annual report of the association, which was agreed to.
