THE CIVIL WAR IN ANZRICA. ( From the Special Correspondent of the Times.) WASHINGTON, AuG. 29. In the first place, let me express the belief that the unanimity of the North in this war is likely to • be disturbed by the introduction of an element the strength of which, however, can scarcely be under stood by those who depend on the journals for in formation, because the organs which were its ex ponents have either been destroyed by mobs, are in dread of suspension, or are defended by police and men armed with revolvers. There are, however, millions of earnest, sincere, and honest men willing to peril their fortunes and their lives in the defence of the Republic, and in the assertion of the Union, the whole Union, and nothing but the Union. Capi tal sighs for peace—trade and commerce languish for it. But capital knows that what she has ex pended will never be regained by submission, and trade and commerce feel that a peace on the present status of affairs would probably deprive them of their home markets. The madness of politicians, the self-seeking of parties, have led to an awful calamity, the end of which no one can foresee or predict. Peace is no longer a panacea for the evils which afflict the United States, and war has pro produced some of its usual results in the necessity which has arisen for the beaten party to regain their prestige. Of all the parties in the United States, that which desires peace, quoad peace, is at present the most hopeless; because peace could only now be obtained by the submission and cession of everything for which the North is fighting, and by the loss to the North of all, or nearly all, its advan tages. But still it works on, and the end would justify the means indeed if an absolute peace could be the fruit of its labours. There is no chance of such a settlement, so far as I can see. There are in the North itself the materials of trouble in the anger of the great parties, which accuse each other of the offences that brought on the greater war ; and on the whole there is, in my judgment, greater probability of a peaceful adjustment offered by the actual success of the North, so that she could reconstruct the Union, or allow the South to go out as a dependent re public, than by any other form which the con test can assume. It is impossible for the North to retire from the contest in a moral Bull's Run. The South may resist long, and will certainly do so with energy ; but there are new and formidable combinations. Her troubles will come by water. The first of the operations which she will have to submit to is already in course of execution. The expedition which sailed from Fortress Monroe, under the com mand of the senior officer of the United States' squadron on the West India station, as to the object of which nothing is known to the public, is destined for the destruction and closing of the extraordinary series of passages and inlaid waters in North Caro lina, extending from Old Currituck Inlet down to Cape Lookout. Within a narrow belt of reefs and sandbanks lie Pamlico Sound, Albemarle Sound— inland seas running into innumerable creeks, and re ceiving a system of rivers by which communicatign is opened to railroads and towns far in the interior of the country. Here lurk the privateers, which sally out through the openings of the outer bank and prey upon the passing trader ; and here the coasting vessels have been plying up and down with security. 150 small vessels laden with stones, con voyed by the United States' ships of war,are on their way to block up the few passages by which these vessels can enter, and the men-of-war have also re ceived orders to destroy the forts and defences which the rebels have occueied along the coast. A similar process will be applied to other points of the coast further south, with what success it is not yet pos sible to predicate. The external line of reefs and sandbanks is one of the most curious instances of recent change, and of the effect of water deposits and currents, in the world. At the place where Raleigh sailed in, with 14 feet of water under his keel, there is now a sandbank, which is entitled to the appellation of Kill-devil-hill, high above the surface. These banks extend almost to Tampico, all round by Florida ; and in other places the nature of the shores and the great lakes and lagunes in sipe, show that the process has been carried on till the banks became united to the mainland. There is inside the most extensive and unique internal communication by water in the world. Energetic efforts will be made to sus pend it, and the result will be serious suffering and inconvenience to the inhabitants, and the destruc tion of their privateering efforts. Perhaps before I send off this letter I may be able to give more pre cise information as to the proceedings of the expe dition, but the weather has been very unfavourable to its rapidity, as it has been raining and hazy. But the expedition which is in the course of or ganization, under General Fremont, to proceed down the Mississippi, offers the most important re sults if it be successful, and is pregnant with the most vital consequences if it fail to attain its object There is no doubt that the General is displaying zeal, judgment, and vigour in his preparations, and gives good promise of conducting his expedition, as far as he is concerned, with every guarantee that failure will be obviated if possible. It is, as I under stand, not to be unaided by demonstrations equally serious, as it is intended to form another expedition to send up the Mississippi at the same time, which will go right into the heart of the seceding States. New Orleans and the river in the hands of the United States, the South will have its constancy and resources strained to the uttermost, for a great blow has been dealt which violates Missouri and opens all the Southern States along their western boundaries—not to speak of its influence on Ken tucky. Gen. Fremont intends to cover the flank of his flotilla by an army, which shall be able to clear away the enemy as it advances ; and 10 power ful steam gunboats, armed with heavy rifled ord nance, are intended to dispose of any fortified places, earthworks, or hostile towns which may attempt to oppnse their progress. The closing up of the inlets on the coast will prove very embarrassing, and we shall hear no more of vessels sailing out of such places as Wilmington and running the blockade if the ex pedition carries out its object, Some trouble will he .saved to the British Legation, which has had its full share of annoyance and correspondence in re ference to British vessels seized after they have left ports supposed to be blockaded, not to speak of the great increase of work connected with the new passport system, and the sufferings of British sub jects who are seeking to get home, or to any place out of the States, which no longer afford them either v. home or employment. I presum e it is known in England that the United States' Government have abandoned their project of collecting duties outside the ports of the South by armed vessels, owing, I believe, to the re prosentations o f L ord Lyons, aided by the manifest inconvenience and illegality t o f the intended process. Although the position of the forces is such that an encounter may tak e placeon the other side of the Potomac at any moment, General M'Clellan has no desire to precipitate an engagement, nor will he make an offensive movement till has got his sol diers in hand, and formed the fine materials at his disposal into an army. The movements o made amuseby the Confederates may be intended either to their men or to reconnoitre the whole of the works from Alexandria to the Chain-bridge,above Washi ng . ' ton. They are not more than two miles and a half from Alexandria, and are at the same distance from Washington, but it is not possible to ascertain their force without the risk of bringing on an engage ment, which, if they proved very strong, might be un advisible ; if they were found to be weak the recon naissance would certainly prove that they were busy in some other quarter.. The ,country is very difficult, cut up with watercourses ain. 3 covered with undula ting woods, which are fast yielding, however, to the vigorous efforts of the Federal t.xernen, who, in re liefs of 500 strung, are clearing the grounil in front of their works, and leaving before them vast abattis of great trees and branches interlaced together, and almost impassabla for infantry. Now and then a on, range shot or shell is sent fro m either side at "e Picket th e wa B or aentries (the American writ ers, b y a sin g l e r o r i. :e . rse.ly use the word picket as meaning littl e enoreo il t l e h r or' sen try), and there has been a is so usele es 831 1 : 1 "nt'ry-s talking andlhooting which of the animus l ' f a nktuhitY.ry, and is yet indicative Yankees." ° :So utherners towards " the =oral big So has refused passes to the newspaper correspondents, and the papers.. in New York will consequently be full of idle stories and erroneous statements of encounters and battles, the offspring of the street gossip in the capital. People are so excited here that a party of " citizens" were observed listening with great eagerness yesterday to the sound of a cannonade, which eventually proved to come from the heels of a horse against the planks of an adjoining stable. The correspondents in question, being much irritated by the refusal, have resolved that they are thereby absolved from their promise to keep back intelligence of any move ments,useful to the enemy. The new policy is a reversal of that of General M'Dowell, who allowed them to accompany him in the field, and jokingly proposed that they should wear a uniform of white as a sign of their purity. Justice compels me to say that the correspondents of the various papers whom I have met at Washington are gentlemen of honour and ability, who would not violate any confidence or break any engagement with the authorities. But in their new policy the correspondents are menaced with very serious difficulties, as the following order will demonstrate : "War Department, Adjutant-General's Office, Washington, Aug. 26, 1861. " By the 57th Article of the Act of Congress, entitled An Act for Establishing Rules and Articles for the Govern ment of the Armies of the United States, approved April 10, 1806, 'holding correspondence with or giving intelli gence to the enemy, either directly or indirectly,' is made punishable by death, or such other punishment as shall be ordered by the sentence of a court martial. Public safety requires strict enforcement of this article. It is therefore ordered that all correspondence and communication, ver bally or by writing, printing, or telegraphing, respecting operations of the army, or military movements on land or water, or respecting the troops, camps, arsenals, intrench ments, or military affairs, within the several military dis tricts, by which intelligence shall be, directly or indirectly, given to the enemy, without the authority and sanction of the General in command, be, and the same are absolutely prohibited, and, from and after the date of this order, per sons violating the same will be proceeded against under the 57th Article of War. By order, "L. TRoMAs, Adjutant-General." General M'Clellan is rapidly becoming master of the situation. In Washington the silence in the streets at night is profound. The soldiers are kept in camp, and have plenty of work to do. One hears very little of the President, but in reality he is very active and naturally takes a deep interest in the work of all the departments. He moves about dressed in a plain gray shooting jacket and suit, without any attendant, from one Minister to another, now visiting Captain Dahlgren at the Navy-yard, then dropping in on General Scott, or calling at General M'Clellan's, taking a constant but not obtrusive share in all the various business on hand from day to day. Mr. Seaward is away for the time, and his son, the Assistant-Secretary of State, is acting in his place. The new passports issued to enable British subjects to travel in or leave the United States have the following memorandum written by Mr. Seward across the back It is expected that the bearer will not enter any of the insurrectionary States." It would be as well, in deed, just now for British subjects to abstain from travelling between the North and the South, for they become objects of suspicion, are liable to an noyance, and if, as is likely, they carry letters given them, it may be by friends or acquaintances, they may be unwittingly violating the law by convey ing information to either enemy. There are literally thousands of British subjects seeking assist ance to get out of the country, and the inhabitants of St. Louis in any way connected with the old country seem animated by an intense longing to re-migrate. Many cases of hardship and great dis tress occur there to show the severe pressure of the times upon the people. There are some statements calculated to mislead in respect to Lord Lyon's in terference in procuring the discharge of British subjects from the United State,' army. His Lord ship has only applied for and procured discharges in the case of a few young men under age, whose parents or guardians desired their release from military service. The numerous demands made by Irish, Scotch, and English to be freed from obli gations they had contracted of their own free will have not been attended to when they were men of mature age, nor, indeed, could they well, be suc cessful. There will be very rigid discipline en forced among men of the new army, and in deed, it is required. Look at the strange affair in the Kanawha valley at Summersville. A whole regiment halts to cook breakfast in what may be called an enemy's country. No pickets are thrown out, no sentinels posted, not the slightest precau tion taken to prevent what happened, and what was likely, or at least possible—a surprise by the enemy, in which the regiment suffered most severely at the hands of a superior force. If proper dispositions had been made such an operation could not have been effected, and it appears that the road to Gauley-bridge must have been open, so that a judi cious retreat could have saved the regiment, just as its baggage was rescued. This Kanawha valley is the source of much marching and fighting ; it is, in fact, the heart of Western Virginia, and its im portance is so great that the Union men, as you are aware, proposed to call the State they were going to carve out between the Ohio and the Blue Ridge by the name of the river Kanawha, till the opinion of Mr. Bates, the Attorney-General, induced them to forego the project. The discipline which will be enforced must prove distasteful to many of the volunteers, but in the end they will experience the advantages of it. Although the regiments are generally composed of the finest men that any army in the world could show, there are scattered through the ranks a proportion of men who are unfit for military service, who were enlisted and passed muster in the early stages of organising the army. These men will all be dismissed, and a medi cal examination has been directed to take place of all soldiers in the service. One of the most un favourable symptoms for the United States Govern ment, in its endeavours to augment the regular army is the extreme unwillingness of the popula tion to en ist. There is "no lack of volunteers, but the nucleus of military organisation does not in crease in proportion. It is natural enough that when the floating population are eagerly canvassed by the touters for the volunteer regiments they should not be willing to enter into the regular army, where the discipline is supposed to be stricter and the duties more arduous. Recruiting in New York produced only 18 men last week; the 12th Regi ment has not succeeded in obtaining more than the materials of two good companies; the 14th Regi inept, also new, was more successful, and the new" Cavalry Regiment musters about 400 men, 200 short of its full complement. In the navy there is much greater ease in obtaining the services of a good description of seamen than there is in the army in procuring the proper material for soldiers. An in stance of the rapidity with which the United States can obtain a navy is furnished by the Tuscarora, which was launched in five weeks from the day her keel was laid down in Philadelphia ; she is a steam gunboat 2P) feet long, 900 tons burden, carrying four 32-pounders and two 11-inch guns. The officers of the regular army do not depend as much as they might on the volunteers ; they re member Mexico, where they would go away before the war was concluded, at critical periods, causing by their departure debility in the operations and an increase of expenditure and loss of life to the country. It will be some time before the discdntented spirits are rooted out ; but they are already beginning to feel General M'Clellan's hand, as an untrained horse gradually recognises the force of his rider. That some good grounds for discontent existed, particularly among officers, cannot be denied ; but, as far as food and rations, tentage, and general military accommodation are concerned the men in the service of the United States are not by any means ill-treated. The dissatisfaction connected with the payment of the men in some regiments was caused by the officers, who did not furnish the paymasters with the proper lists; and, if delay was occasioned by want of money in some instances, the patriotic feeling of the men should have induced them to have borne the privation with a little more patience. In the quality of their clothing, however,there has been just ground of discontent ; the contractors have been at their usual work. General Butler pointed out to me at Fortress Monroe soldiers who were clad in a sort of gray stuff which looked like the worn out linings of infantkrytg as s ic i s f wo—flouiffbyadyebtetehn gluedreadb n ar o e, hard yet ragged, looking THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 13, 1861. to rotten calico : it seems probable that contractors henceforth will be compelled to make less money and better clothes. In some cases regiments are pre vented leaving for the seat of war because the in habitants of their districts will not pledge them selves to keep the families of the volunteers from want when they are away. Every man, too, wants to have the best description of rifle musket,—an obvious impossibility at present. Although the weeding of officers has been carried on to a consi derable extent, there are still many whom it is de sirable to get rid of. The colonel of a regiment aspiring to be the President's Life Guards has been charged by his own officers with obtaining money under false pretences ; the sale of appointments ; above all, with having been a convict in a peniten tiary ; and with matters of less consequence in a moral point of view. Mr. Sickles, concerning whose grade and position there has been a great deal of trouble, is now re moved above all controversy by the nomination of the President to the rank of brigadier. The regi ments he has raised will not be called after his name, but will be named the Excelsior Brigade, and will probably present an effective force of 4,000 men. Brigadier Sickles worked hard for his rank, but it is reported that he has made out a heavy bill against the Government for the reimbursement of his expenses. Encouraged by the approval of the people who are ready for anything in the shape of force and strong Government, the authorities are determined to send every officer who resigns in the army or navy to Fort Lafayette or some suitable prison, and to arrest every individual, male or female, suspected of treasonable designs. The law of " suspects" is in full vigour. It was time for the Government to vindi cate its rights and its power, but it must be seen that in this vindication it differs in no way from the means used by the other Governments of the world, which have been hitherto considered in the United States as organized outrages on human nature and certain so-called natural rights of man. The high sounding professions of the statesmen and writers of America in these matters were felt by them to be in ridiculous contrast with the practices and extension of a domestic slave trade in some provinces, an d with the existence of slavery over a large portion of the Union. Amid the contending cries of the multi tude it is now scarcely possible to ascertain how far this is a war against slavery or a war for the main tenance of high protective duties, but it is obvious that if the war goes on it will be narrowed to the former issue, and that the Republicans, who now repudiate the notion of declaring all slaves free, while in the same breath they express their belief that the question must come to that end, will be obliged to do that as a party which as yet has been done only by the individual men, and hang out the unconditional abolition banner fully and fairly in the air. If they would kill slavery as a foreign trade, however, let them at the same time alter the policy of their rulers in reference to the right of search. It is not without reason that the Americans com plain of England dealing so tenderly with Spain in reference to the slave trade; but, after all, it is from 'New York and Boston that most of the vessels em ployed in that trade sail for the Coast. Vessels captured by the American squadron, sent home, condemned, and sold are bought up and sent out again to their old business. It would be much better to burn or sink them. The Storm King. Triton, Falmouth, Virginian, Ardennes, and other well-known vessels now on the coast have been even sold as slavers and bought up again, and it is ascer tained that vessels with proper cargoes will not hesitate to throw them overboard for a cargo of slaves. Much of the impunity with which these audacious traders in flesh and blood carry on the business arises from the persistency with which the United States' Government has resisted the right of search. On the approach of a British man-of war the slaver hoists the American colours, and goes on her way intact; if an American man-of-war comes in sight the slaver hoists a British or French flag and escapes with equal ease. It has been suggested in one American journal that the right of search should be allowed on the African coast, and there appears no objection to it ; at all events, it is quite certain from what I read here of slavers arriving at Havannah and other ports and fitting out for the trade that the result of our enormous expendi ture is only to enhance the profits of the dealer and of the savages on the African coasts. Without co- operation our labour is vain Spain has exhibited a disregard of her plighted faith, which has bee❑ tolerated by England for reasons impossible to divine. It is calculated that a cargo of 500 negroes sold in Cuba at 500 dols. a head will leave a profit of 177,000 dols. gained in four months, their original cost being 50 dole. a head, and the expenses of landing being 25,000 dols., ship, crew, and all, and allowing for a loss of 100 on the voyage. It is said that 40,000 negroes were landed in Cuba in the year 1860, and that about 7,000 died at sea. As I close my letter there are rumours of a de feat of the Federalists at Cape Girardeau, in Mis souri, below Cairo. There are two Queen's messengers, Capt. Cecil Johnson and Capt. Haworth, now on duty in this country. in addition to the ordinary messenger, Capt. Moore, and these gentlemen are constantly employed in conveying despatches between New York and Washington and Quebec. The despatches from her Britannic Majesty's Consul at Charleston to Earl Russell seized by the authorities at New York have been despatched by Mr. Seward to England in the hands of a special messenger. One is curious to know the result. THE NAVY. VALETTA, Sept. 7.—The Sanspareil, 76, Captain Bowyer, arrived this morning from Devonport and Gibraltar. She left Devonport on the 20th ult. and Gibraltar on the Ist, and brings out supernumeraries for the Mediterranean fleet and Armstrong guns. The corvette Scourge, 6, Captain W. J. Jones, also arrived this morning from Constantinople in six days, the Dardanelles five,:and the Piraeus of Athens three. She is conveying back to Gibraltar his Ex cellency Lieut.-Gen. Sir Wm. Codrington, K.C.8., and staff, consisting of Lieut.-Col. Fane,Lieut.-Col. Fremantle, and Lieut. - Praid. She leaves for Gib raltar to-night or to-morrow morning. The British screw steamer Rangoon, with a portion of the Malta and Alexandria electric cable on board, is still here, awaiting the arrival of the screw steamer Malacca, with another portion of the cable from England, The Malacca left England on the 19th ult.. and was to call in at Mahon to pick up Mr. Canning and a staff of telegraph labourers belonging to the firm of Messrs. Glasse, Elliott, and Co., who have been en gaged laying a submarine cable for the French Go vernment. Mr. Forde, superintending engineer on the part of the British Government, and Mr. Clif ford and Dr. Whitehouse, electricians, on the part of Messrs, Glasse, Elliott, and Co., owners of the Malta and Alexandria cable, arrived from Marseilles a few days ago. Dr. Esselbach, electrician for Go vernment, arrived on the same day from Italy. As in laying the other sections of the cable, the valu able assistance of Captain Spratt, commanding the Medina, and his staff of surveying officers, will be made use of. The submergence of these two sections will complete the line. The Mohawk will, it is be lieved, again assist in the operation, as likewise the Scourge, should she return in time from Gibraltar. The following is the proportion of powder, shot, and shell to be supplied to the Defence, 22, at Chat ham, for two 100-pounder Armstrong pivot guns, and 16 100-pounder broadside guns on her main deck, under orders to that effect received from the War-office yesterday :—Cartridges, filled with 121 b. of powder, 1,660; empty, 380; powder, in bags of 151 b., A 4, 304; LG, 192. Shells, filled— common, 320; segment, 220; shells, empty—com mon, 220; segment, 320. Solid 100-pounder shot, 580. A notice was yesterday affixed to the dockyard gates at Chatham that tenders will be received by the Admiralty for the purchase of the remains of the wreck of the Hussar, 44, burnt at Shoebury ness, as they now lie on the sands. The vessel is to be solid entire; but the person purchasings her will have to deliver up the copper and metal bolt and fastenings, for which so much per pound will be allowed. At low tides work can be performed about the wreck for rather less than two hours. Orders have been issued by the Admiralty to fit at Sheerness the upper topsails of the iron-clad fri gate Resistance on Mr. Cunningham's principle of reefing from the deck. The Defence is being fitted also on the same plan. By this arrangement the chain topsail tye will be the only running gear re qaired for setting and taking in the topsails, thus giving extreme simplicity to the equipment aloft, a point of immense impoltancein screw ships of war, as lessening, if not entirely doing away with the chance of fouling the screw, in the event of the masts being shot away in action. Another impor tant feature in this mode of rig is that the upper topsails can be set and taken in by the crew under cover on the gun deck, without exposing them aloft, or even on the upper deck. Thus, in the event of the screw or the machinery becoming damaged, say in engaging a battery, and its becoming desirable to withdraw from under fire, sail can be made upon the ship by the crew from their fighting quarters. The absence of running ropes about the s ails—the only working gear being the chain topsail tye —affords greatly increased safety against the sails being rendered useless by ropes being shot away. The", Cunningham system has been in use on board all the troopships, except the Himalaya, for some considerable time, so that it is not altogether new to the service. It is extensively used in the mercan tile marine, and was referred to in The Sun of the 28th January, 1854, in noticing the melancholy loss of the ship Tayleur, which occurred chiefly owing to the inability of the crew to reef her topsails. The Plover, 5, screw, commander A. L. Corry, arrived at Spithead yesterday, under canvas and steam from the eastward, on her way to the West Coast of Africa, where she will be employed in the suppression of the slave trade. The Medea, 6, paddle, in charge of Capt. H. Broadhead, commanding the reserve at Portsmouth, tested her machinery (for commission) yesterday, in Stokes' Bay. The Nelson, 90, screw, was undocked from No. 10 dock at Portsmouth yesterday and placed at a berth in the harbour. The midship caisson, at the junction of 10 and 7 docks, was afterwards floated out of its position and removed from the dock to the steam basin, to 'enable workmen to complete the laying of the blocks over the invert. The Calcutta, 84, was placed yesterday in No. 1 dock in the Devonport dockyard for examination. The screw steamship Renown, 89, Capt. A. Forbes, just returned from the Mediterranean, went yester day from Plymouth Sound into Hamoaze, wher e she was inspected by the Port Admiral. The paddlewheel merchant steamer Sir Walter Raleigh, belonging to Messrs. Langdon, Moore, and Co., of Plymouth, is ordered to be docked in Devon port yard, prior to being purchased for the Govern ment. The lighter Rochester, C. Heather master, after a long passage from Chatham to Portsmouth, arrived yesterday at Plymouth, with cement for the break water and metals for the public arsenals. Steam was got up yesterday on board the Panta loon, 11, and she proceeded from Hamoaze into Plymouth Sound to try her engines. Supernumeraries were crnveyed yesterday to the paddlewheel steam sloop Firebrand, 6, Commander J. M. Bruce, in Plymouth Sound. To-day she will embark about 200 of the crew paid off from the St. Jean d'Acre, 99, Commander John D'Creti; in Ha moaze, and proceed with them for the eastward. The hired transport Con way yesterday went alongside Woolwich-pier, in preparation to ship guns and Tower stores, and will receive 700 tons of gunpowder for Quebec. She is expected to sail from Woolwich on Wednesday next. The Avosella has also arrived at Woolwich-pier to ship war stores for Halifax. The following officers, acting and sub-lieutenants, have passed their examinations at the Royal Naval College, Portsmouth, as lieutenants :—Messrs. C. S. Harford, D. D. Yonge, A. T. Nugent, F. Walters, J. M. N. Boyd, H. R. Berners, E. T. Trafford, W. E. Miller, E. B. Royse, J. Howes, G. R. Heneage, S. T. Purdon, and H. F. Stevenson. Second Master for Master T. Dobbin. charge to rentaining longer in the army. There were comparatively few discharged from incapacity for further military service. Under the new regu lations authorised by Major-General Eyre, the whole of the discharged men received the arrears of pay due to them before quitting their barracks, instead of at the railway station, as was formerly the case. The Ordnance Select Committee of Woolwich Arsenal have been engaged for some days past in testing with much severity one of the Armstrong 100-pounder guns, in order to prove its extreme power of resistance. The gun has now undergone 100 rounds of fit ing with charges of 141 b. of powder and projectiles increasing in weight from 100 lb. to I,ooolb. The 1,00011% projectile was of such length as to extend nearly two feet beyond the muzzle. Ten rounds were fired with these enormous bolts,and the gun is reported to be totally uninjured. The recoil of the gun was very violent. It is understood to be the unanimous decision of the select committee that no further attempt should be made to burst it, as its strength is deemed abundantly sufficient for all practical purposes. As the 201 b. elongated shot has been proved to be most suitable as a charge for the 25-pounder Armstrong gun, the War De partment have instructed the authorities at Wool wich to make no further delivery of the 25-pounder shot, but to issue the 201 b. projectile in future. This species of ordnance is intended to supersede the old 32-pounder cast gun, as well as the brass howitzer, which are ordered to be set aside, none of the old ordnance to be issued for the present except the 68-pounder, which is still to be continued in use as a fortress gun on the coast. CHARG g OF ,VE D 1 lON IN CORK. At the Mill-street, sessions, county Cork, on Monday, a charge of sedition was heard which ex cited some interest. The accused was Mr. James Cooper, an extensive shopkeeper of the town, and the charge was made in c onsequence o f a pl acar d exhibited by him immediately before the Queen's visit to Killarney. Mr. Gallwey said—l appear on the part of the Crown, and by directions of the Government, to apply for informations against Mr. James Cooper, the accused in this case, for his having posted and published a seditious libel on Sunday, the 25th of August last, being the day preceding that on which it was publicly announced that her Majesty was to stop at Mill-street station on her tour tc Killarney. A seditious placard appeared on that day in the win dow of the house of Mr. J. Cooper, who is a most re spectable shopkeeper in this town. That placard was shortly taken down by the police, but immediately afterwards a second placard was put up. Mr. Cooper, up in the first placard being taken down, went to the police and said that he was author of it ; and that it was he who posted it, and he wanted to get it from the police. However, they refused to return the placard to him, and thereupon a se cond placard to the same effect was put up. The first placard is this : " Hurrah ! hurrah ! hurrah !—Hurrah for Repeal! Away with the Titles Bill !—Down with the Tithes ! —Three cheers for the Pope, Christ's Vicar on earth ! Three groans for the English, who try to hunt him to death ! Let these be watchwords, my brave Celtic boys, while to confusion you'll scare all time-serving slaves. You know the dire wrongs that on your country have fallen ; to redeem I , er at once on her brave sons she is calling —not by blood does she hope these blessings to gain, nor by slavish jubilations, as Royalty passes by train, but by united demands her rights to obtain, all which, in one word, are contained in Repeal;' less than which neither now nor for ever will satisfy any honest Gael." The second placard was an exact copy of that, with this addition : " If to-morrow be fine, boys, I would have you mind your hay; Not slavishly go about To see the bye-play." Now, gentlemen, when the time and the occasion which these placards are put out are considered—a Sunday, while the inhabitants of the town and neighbourhood were returning from their respective places of worship, and the day just previous to her Majesty being about to appear at the station, where preparations were being made for her reception— the seditious tendency of these placards will be at once seen ; for what can be more calculated to bring her Majesty into ridicule and contempt than to have it said in effect that the unanimous and cordial loyal feelings exhibited by all classes of Irishmen was " slavish jubilation ?" And again, the people are advised to abstain from paying the respect and loyalty due to her Majesty, thereby, to use the lan guage just quoted, endeavouring "to alienate the affections of the people from their Sovereign, and to weaken the ties of loyalty and allegiance." After hearing the evidence in respect of this statement, the magistrates signified that they dif fered in opinion on the charge, and that therefore no decision could be given one way or other. The parties thereup )n left the court. THE ARMY. The following circular memorandum has been issued from the recruiting department to the army at home and recruiting districts : "Horse Guards, Sept. 7. " Men who have been discharged at the expira tion of their first period of limited service are not to be re-enlisted or re-engaged until recruiting is re sumed., except for the Royal Artillery or Royal Engineers.—By command, &c., " J. YORKE SCARLETT." The headquarters of the 12th Lancers left Don caster yesterday, en route from York to Aldershot. The headquarters of the 10th Hussars will be sta tioned at York, which city they reached yesterday. Orders were yesterday received at Chatham gar rison for quarters to be prepared at the north square, Brompton Barracks, for the officers, men, and horses of the 4th, or D battery, 9th Brigade, Royal Artillery, which is now en route from Ireland, and may be expected to arrive at Chatham in the course of a few days. Another large discharge of troops took place at Chatham yesterday, when 60 non-commissioned ofliccrs and privates of various cavalry and infantry regiments, the whole of whom had been forwarded to the invalid depot from India and the colonies, received their discharge at St. Mary's Barracks. Each man was furnished with a railway warrant, which would take him to his destination free of cost. Most of the troops discharged yesterday were ex cellent soldiers, who had, howeaer, on the comple tion of their period of service preferred their dis- MR. SPURGEON AT BRISTOL. Mr. Spurgeon was on Wednesday last announced to preach at the opening of the City-road Baptist Chapel, Bristol, and for several days previous there was an immense demand for tickets of admission. The tickets were distributed gratuitously, to the full extent of the limits of the chapel, and in the evening the Circus was engaged as a more commo dious place of meeting. The opening sermon was announced to begin at 2.30, but crowds began to assemble an hour earlier, and when the doors were opened there was a tre mendous rush of eager and anxious ticket-holders. In a few minutes every seat was occupied, and afterwards the passages were blocked up by a crowd that occasionally showed itself noisy and restless. The congregation, as usual in such circumstances, was highly excited, and when Mr. Bosworth (King street Chapel) gave out the first hymn his voice could scarcely be heard. The singing, however, brought composure, and the service was in due course proceeded with. The evening service commenced in the Circus at half-past six. Mr. Spurgeon arrived at a few minutes before that time, and was warmly greeted by the friends who partially blocked up the pas.. sages to the platform from which he was to deliver his discourse. Divine service commenced by Mr. Spurgeon giving out the hymn beginning with— " Come ' let us join our cheerful songs With angels round the round," and after it had been sung by the audience, the rev. gentleman urged them to remain as quiet as pos sible. He then read the 32d Psalm, commenting upon each verse as he proceeded. Before he had concluded the Psalm a loud knocking was heard on the outside, and it was stated that although the avenues were crammed with anxious listeners, there were still thousands outside desirous of being ad mitted. This caused a little commotion, and Mr. Spurgeon expressed an opinion that the services of the police should be secured to restore quietness, and prevent any further disturbance. The confusion, however, continuing, Mr. Spurgeon called upon the Rev. E. Probert to engage in pray*. Mr. Probert accordingly offered up a fervent prayer, during which the knocking at the doors and the wooden sides of the building was continued with unabated vigour; and the heads of men who had climbed up the " stays" were seen peering through the venti lators at the base of the ro3f. Mr. Spurgeon, finding it impossible to proceed, said he should be glad to preach outside if he could, but the state of his health would not allow him to do so. A person in the centre of the arena, who had evidently not heard the rev, gentleman's remark, said there were thousands of persons outside, and it would be better if Mr. Spurgeon could preach to them. Mr. Spurgeon repeated that he could not preach out of doors. He was in the predicament of a man who had too many to hear him, and wished that some other man would come forward to take one-half of them to himself. His nerves were thoroughly shattered by a late accident. He hoped that some person would go to the police sta tion for assistance. He would endeavour to preach as well as he could, and summon all the courage he had to do so. (Hear, hear.) He wished, however, he had the strength he possessed a few years ago, but he had preached ten times a-week ; was thoroughly knocked up, and was getting old before he was young. The rev, gentleman then selected for his text the 14th verse of the Bth chapter of Job :—" Whose hope shall be cut off, and whose trust shall be a spider's web." The rev. gentleman was proceeding with his address, when a voice from the entrance shouted, " Here is no police here." (Order, order.) Mr. Spurgeon—Some of you strong men will have to go and battle with the crowd. (A. slight con fusion.) Mr. Probert—Retain your seats, please. A Voice—Could not Mr. Spurgeon speak briefly to them ? Mr. Spurgeon—lf there was a possibility of preaching to the same congregation at another time, I would do so. Have you all tickets ? A Voice—Preach oat of do - ors to-morrow. Mr. Spurgeon—l will come again in any rea sonable distance of time to preach. I will do any thing if I have the opportunity to preach, but I cannot control myself now ; therefore I cannot preach to you to-night. (Signs of disappoint ment and regret.) The rev, gentlemen on the platform held a con sultation together for some moments. It was in terrupted by A Voice—l propose that we sit still for half an hour. I think the mob will disperse by that time. The Rev. J. Davis, however, instantly gave out a hymn, which was sung by the congregation. Mr. Spurgeon—lf there's any possibility of preaching at all— A Voice—There's only one remedy. I will under take to go down from the building by a rope and 'etch the police. (Hear, hear.) Another Voice—Don't be afraid. There's an inspector of police outside ; and Mr. Spurgeon might consider himself safe. Mr. Spurgeon (to the gentleman who had volun teered to be let down by a rope)—Will you kindly do it? Another Voice—P:l go with you. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Probert—You can't go ; if you go out they will rush in. A Voice—We can drop ourselves down. Another Voice—We have an inspector of police outside, who has made the necessary arrangement for keeping order. If we are now quiet Mr. Spur geon might preach for half an hour; but it would be well t hat he should not continue too long. Mr. Spurgeon—Cwho seemed to be labouring under illness, and frequently had recourse to salts) —Preaching is not like plying a pump handle — merely moving it, and out it flows. (Hear, hear.) Whatever I say will be rambling ; and I almost feel I shall not be able to preach. I feel I can hardly stand upright (expressions of sympathy). A Voice—Dismiss us. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Spurgeon (after a little rest)—l will try again. (Hear, hear.) I will commence again— and oh ! that the Lord may be pleased to strengthen me, so that I may be able to address you. ("Amen" from many of his hearers.) The rev, gentleman then proceeded with his discourse. After a brief sermon on the text, Mr. Spurgeon begged his hearers to excuse his short address. He had done all he could, and he would be glad to come down again if there could be means found of his preaching quietly to the people. One of the Ministers on the platform made some observation to him in a low tone of voice. Mr. Spurgeon—lt's impossible I can do it (then turning to his audience): our friends want me to preach to the people outside—(no, no)—but I can not do it. I think you had better s i ng a verse or two and then be quietly dismissed. A collection was then made, and the proceedings terminated with singing and prayer. Mr. Spurgeon left the building before the mass had attempted to move, and thereby escaped any inconvenience which he might otherwise have ex perienced in threading his way through the crowd outside. The greatest order was observed by the audience in making their exit, and the outsiders finding that Mr. Spurgeon had gone, gradually dispersed. The net proceeds of the day's services amounted to £l4O. IRON-CLAD STEAMSHIPS.--We understand that Messrs. Laird, Sons, and Co., of Birkenhead, have received a commission from the Lords of the Admiralty to build one of the three new iron-clad ships which it has been resolved to construct. It is said to be the i n t ent i on o f Messrs. Laird to build this powerful and stupendou s vesse l in one of their large graving docks, which it is stated will be covered with a glass roof, to protect the shi p effects of the weather, anti the workmen from the POLICE INTELLIgENCE, &pt. 12. CLERKENWELL.—CharIes Foster, a respec tably-attired man, who is known to the police under the aliases of Bannister, Elsom, Vickers, Weston, Church, Sharp, Clothier, Smith, Jacobs, Clarke, French, Stacey, and Williams, was charged with having conspired with another man, not in custody, to defraud Alfred John Head and another, of the possession of the house No. 12, Calthorpe street, St. Pancras. Several tradesmen in attendance said they had charges against the prisoner and his companion, and Mr. D'Eyncourt remanded him until Monday next. Bridget Hoolahan, a respectably-attired woman, dressed as a domestic servant, was placed at the bar before Mr. D'Eyncourt, chtirged with stealing a number of articles of the value of £8 from her late employer, Miss Sarah Moore, of 30, Burton-cres cent, St. Pancras. There were also a number of other charges against her of robbing her previous employers. _ _ Pro - m the evidence of Miss Moore, it appeared that for some time the prisoner was employed by her as her• servant, but she left her situation in May last. As she was going to America the com plainant said she might stay in her house until she was to leave town for Liverpool. On the day on which she was to depart her former mistress gave her some few articles, and while the prisoner was absent, she went to the prisoner's bag for the pur pose of putting in it a bottle of wine, when she was surprised to find some articles of clothing belonging to her. Her curiosity being aroused she looked further into the bag, and finding numer ous articles belonging to her she sent for Police constable Ball, 64 E, who in a box found more articles belonging to Miss Moore. When the pri soner returned she was taken into custody, and on her person she had other property belonging to the complainant. From inquiries the constable made he ascertained that the prisoner had robbed several of her former mistresses, and the property was found in her boxes. The prisoner said that her mistress had given her all the things that were found in her posses - sion. Miss Moore denied this, and said she had missed other property besides that found in the prisoner's possession, The prisoner said, with reference to the property belonging to her other mistresses that was dis covered in her box, that she had found it. Mr. D'Eyncourt fully committed the prisoner to the sessions for trial. MARYLEBONE.—Robert Morrison, a travel ler, was charged with being drunk and assaulting Mrs. Anne Hodson, of 30, Grove -street, Camden town ; also with damaging certain property. Prosecutrix stated that the prisoner was a rela tive, and called about 4 yesterday afternoon to see her husband; he was then sober, She told him that he had gone to the City, where he went after him, but returned the worse for drink, without finding him, and entered the parlour. He wished to get her child out of the room, but sha declined to let her go. He then said if she stirred that she was a dead woman. Sbe told him that he was breaking her arms, both of which he had hold of. He said, "Never mind, I will pay for that," and struck her on the head a severe blow. Witness then told the child tg call a lodger who was in the house. Rosa Morris said she heard very high words, and ran downstairs. Prisoner took the child up by its clothes and threw it with great violence into the other room. He followed and picked the child up, and was about to throw it again, when, after a struggle, she got it from him. He then got Mrs. Hodgson down on an easy chair, where he held her by her two arms and said he would murder her. Witness opened the street door, and called " police," and at this moment Mr. Hodson drove up in a cab. Prisoner, as he went out, broke all the chimney ornaments and a fanlight over the door. Fryer, an officer of the Mendicity, Society, deposed that he lived close by, and hearing a disturbance he went out and saw the prisoner with a stick, ex claiming that he would kill every man that came in his way. When he saw Mr. Hodson he said, "That's the - I will have a turn at, and I will go and give Mrs. Hodson a good hiding." He then turned on witness, and said he would break his head, and struck him a blow with his stick. Police-constable 128 S said the prisoner was very violent all the way to the station. Mr. Hodson also gave evidence that he was nearly throttled by prisoner. Prisoner, who said he had no recollection of the circumstances, as he was drunk, was ordered by Mr. Mansfield to pay 405., or be imprisoned for one month, for the assault on the lady, and 205., or one month, for the damage, and 10s. costs. WESTMINSTER.—Wm. Judkins and Edward Emmett, two decent-looking young men, were charged with inciting a prisoner to escape from the custody of the police, and Judkins was further charged with an assault. - Waterman, 274 A, said that at 11 o'clock last night he was on duty in the High-road, Knights. bridge, when a soldier was turned out of the Trevor Arms for riotous and disorderly conduct, and as saulting the waiter there. Refusing to go away witness took him into custody, when he became very violent, assaulting him by kicking him, and it was very difficult to get him along. A crowd, in which were a large number of soldiers, immediately surrounded them, and pressing very closely it be came necessary to call several other police to his assistance. Foremost in the crowd were the two prisoners, whom he could distinctly swear to, as they followed him all the way, and they repeatedly called out, " Don't let the blues take you; let them have it with your belts." In consequence of this several men took their belts off, and there was a complete riot. Several constables corroborated the above wit ness, in the course of which it appeared one of them had beLn assaulted very severely on the head with a soldier's belt, and that the prisoner Judkins had assaulted one of them by throwing stones at him. The accused denied the charge in toto, and made a counter-charge of great violence against the police. Mr. Arnold remanded them to Wednesday, taking sureties for their appearance. WORSHIP-STREET.—Geo. Chester, driver of a cab, badge 8,443, was charged with having caused the death of Elizabeth Julia Searle, aged 8 years. Charles Vincent, a shoemaker in Willow-walk, Tabernacle-square, said—Shortly after 8 o'clock last night I saw prisoner driving a cab down the walk ; there was a second cab, both 'going at a most furi ous rate; prisoner suddenly drove so close to the kerb that the wheel grated against the stone; at that instant the child was on the pavement, the rear wheel caught her left shoulder, knocked her down and passed over her. Prisoner looked round, but continued his speed. I followed and stopped him. He was sober, and declared that he was until then ignorant of what had occurred. Prisoner was remanded—bail refused. SOUTHWARK.—Elizabeth Field and Elizabeth Reeves, two well-dressed young women, were charged with being on the platform of the South- Eastern Railway, at London-bridge, for the pur pose of committing a felony. Scammell, a detective officer, said that in conse quence of numerous robberies having been lately committed at the terminus of the South Eastern Railway at London-bridge, he was appointed to watch about in private clothes, for the purpose, if possible, of detecting the thieves. The previous evening, about 7 o'clock, he saw the prisoners on the platform of the North Kent line just as a train was coming in, and having some suspicion about then he asked them what they were doing there. Field said she was waiting for her brother from Woolwich, but no such person making his appear ance he took them to the station -master, who told that they had been seen loitering about for several days, and he believed for an improper pur pose. Both of them refusing to give any other ac count of themselves, he took them into custody as suspected persons. Mr. Burcham—Do you know anything about them P Witness--No, sir. I don't think I ever saw them before. Mr. Burcham—Did you see either of them do anything ? Witness—No, sir; all they did was to walk among the crowds. Mr. Burcham--What did you take them into custody for ? Witness—Because they were suspected persons loitering about the railway station, and they refused to give their address. So many robberies had lately been committed there, that he believed their inten tion was to commit a robbery. Mr. Burcham told him there was no evidence of that, neither was there anything to show that they were bad characters; therefore he should discharge them. The driver of one of the Kingsland omnibuses was charged with carrying more passengers than autho rised by his license. There were two passengers on the steps, and two other passengers beyond the number. The defendant said he could no t h e l p it, the pe o pl e forced themselves into his vehicle. Mr. Burcham replied that he wa s not b ound to carry more than the omnibus was licensed for. He must fine him 53. and costs. The money was immediately paid, LAMBETH,--Mr, Richard Evans, a person Who is said to be the owner of considerable property, and who has for some years carried on the business of blacksmith and farrier at Dulwich, and Lilly white, his workman, were charged with stealing a quantity of Staffordshire and other bricks, the pro perty of Messrs. Lee and Bowles, the contractors for building the high level sewers in the county of Surrey. Some five weeks ago a large stack of bricks, 10,000 or 12,000 in number, close to the residence of Mr. Evans, disappeared in a very mysterious way, and it came to the knowledge of Sergeant Shep herd that Lillywhite had been seen to wheel barrowfuls of Staffordshire bricks from the house of his master and shoot them through a hole in the hedge. Shepherd, therefore, charged Lilly white with taking the bricks from his master's house, but this he denied. The officer next spoke to Mr. Evans himself, and told him that the bricks he had used for paving his shop belonged to Messrs. Lee and Bowles, and he admit ted the fact, but said they had been lent to him by a person who had been in the employment of Messrs. Lee and Bowles. Shepherd then told him he must take him into custody, aLd his reply was, "I ex pected it, but it's not a hangingmatter." On making a further inspection of the premises the officer found that an outhouse had recently been built, and a fur ther charge was made against Mr. Evans of using the bricks and mortar of the contractors for that erection. At the termination of the last examination it was agreed to by all parties that the building should be taken down, to ascertain if any and what quantity of the contractors' bricks there were used in it. Yesterday, on the prisoners being put to the bar, there were present for the prosecution Mr. Tibbetts, solicitor, of Gray's-inn ; and for the defence Mr. Metcalfe, the barrister, instructed for Mr. Beard. Mr. Tibbetts informed the magistrate that the prisoner would not allow them to take down the building. In explanation Mr. Metcalfe said the objection came from the governors of Dulwich College, who were the landlords, and who would hold Mr. Evans responsible for the removal of the building. Mr. Norton observed he felt quite satisfied that the governors would not lend themselves to an ob struction of public justice, and that there must be some misrepresentation in the matter. Ultimately he ordered the committal of both prisoners. V AND SW ORTH.—Louisa Goff, a young woman fashionably attired, was brought up on remand charged with stealing several articles of jewellery and wearing apparel, belonging to Mr. Robert M'Christie, civil en g i neer , o f No. 4, Albert-square, Clapham. The prisoner had been in the service of the pro secutor for about three months, and on the 10th of June he was absent in the evening with his wife, and on returning found that the wardrobe in his bedroom had been forced open with some instrument, and property to the value of £6O carried. The prisoner made a statement that she saw a man run out of one of the bedrooms and make his escape. She was not suspected, and as she had given notice to quit, she left on the 15th of the same month. Nothing more transpired until the 2d instant, when a great portion of the stolen pro perty was discovered at the prisoner's lodgings, 4, Mary-street, south Lambeth. Mary Elizaleth Tragg, the landlady of 4, Mary street, stated that about the beginning of June last a room was taken in her house for the prisoner. She brought with her two boxes, and on the even ing of the 2d instant she brought a portmanteau. Afttr she was in custody witness found an opera cloak tied up in a handkerchief between the bed. Eliza Ann Powell, the wife of a butcher living in Buxton-road, said she had known the prisoner since February, when she arranged with her to take charge of her child. The prisoner came occasionally to see the child, and on a day in June she brought a portmanteau, and said she had had a present from the child's father. On Thursday week the prisoner came again, and she opened the portmanteau and. took it away. The prosecutor identified the portmanteau, and said it was taken from a lumber cupboard. The opera cloak belonged to his wife. Mrs. Lucy Portal, of Daventry House, Upper Tooting, said the prisoner was in her service be tween 15 and 16 months up to November last year. She identified one of the prisoner's boxes as her property, and also a white muslin dress, two books, several trinkets, and a quantity of lace trimming, the whole of which had been found by the officer in the boxes he took possession of at the prisoner's, lodgings. The prisoner made no defence, and Mr. Dayrana committed her for trial on both cases. yOUNTRY MARKETS. MANCHESTER —SEAT, 12.
