LONDON, TUESDAY, AUGUST 13, 1861. The Northerns seem to be what we designate by the colloquially expressive word—posed. We had all of us, on this side the water, expected a perfect conflagration in the North when the great disaster became known. If the bloodless attack on Fort Sumter awakened such a storm of fury, what would follow the unmitigated, unqualified, and shameful rout of the grand Northern army. So we naturally argued; but though there is some ex citement, we must confess the North does not lay it to heart as we expected. So different is the gene ral tone of things from what might have been looked for, that it nearly seems, by comparison, as if the North was cooling down a little. The three months' patriots are retiring as fast as their term of service is up, though obviously needed more than ever ; and it appears we were not wrong the other day in throwing out the conjecture that they might even have deemed it a hardship, when their time was nearly up, to be called upon to fight a battle. They have expressed resentment at the thought that the movement should be so timed as to bring them once into the presence of the enemy during their three months' enlistment. These regi ments are returning home as fast as they can, and, strange to say, are received at New York and other cities with ovations, for no other reason that can be conceived than marching home without having smelt any other gunpowder than what they them selves burnt. So numerous are these returning heroes that the large additions to the army, since the defeat, leave it still 8,000 rank and file less than before the three months' men withdrew. We have every reason to think the Northern army has received very great indirect injury by the defeat of the 21st. It is certain that many regiments are entirely demoralised. All seem to be cowed. There is no appearance of military determination to avenge lost honour. Officers seem malcontent to be whipped privates look sad and desponding. Altogether the spirit we should like to have seen in men of our own "kith and kin" is wanting. There is, of course, plenty of the usual swagger and bluster, the North does not mean to be beaten, it means still to subjugate the South, but what we do not see is that cool deter mination with which the ancient Romans, and Englishmen in modern times, set about the repair of any disaster. The talk in America is so much bigger than the work. Could we conceive, in this country, of our Volunteers marching off, even if they had been engaged but for three months, just es an enemy lying south of the Thames had inflicted a serious defeat on our army. I , Vhat town north of the Thames would have received them as patriots? What would they have been thought of in London or in Liverpool. Even in Con g ress the Spirit i s not so self•saerificing as it was. It is now proposed to raise two millions less than was originally sug. gesteAl, by direct taxes, and the Senate is even de_ birou.4 to exaggerate the duties of the anti-commer cial MORILL Tariff ! °on thing is certain—the Federalists have had to fall back at all points. In the centre the Southern pickets are almost within sight of Wash ing ton,and the Con federates have again fortified Fai rfax Court-house, which they had left on the advance of Federalists. Indeed, there seems to be no doubt now, that it was either because they had not the . means to pursue, or, because they were ignorant of the completeness of the rout of the Northerns, they did not advance on Washington. At Harper's Ferry General BANKS (late PATTER SON) has actually had to abandon his entire hdvance and take up a strong position on the Mik'ryland side of the Potomac, leaving the Southern side undefended, Again, on the East, Gen eral BUTLER has been compelled to withdraw his nen from the town of Hampton, adjacent to Fort; Monroe, into the Fort; his numbers having be r et:. consid era bly re d uce d to strengthen the grand a .1' at Washington. All along the Soathern side of Potomac also, we hear of reNl batteries molest the Federal ships as they proceed dog ti the river' Thus, there is a general retreat of t tie North on the line of the Potomac. In Mis sou;:i, where a good deal of skirmishing goes on, the Noozh keeps the upper hand, 130 the contest is a clost one, and Cairo and St. Loui,4 are threatened. The North may yet do better than we expect ; but Witllt so much of the army composed of raw mate rialts, needing long trainin g , with the losses of cannon and muskets, not to be repaired in a day, and Ns ith the disadvantage of the incubus of it defeat, we do riot look for much effective work this autumn. Then, time may bring proposals of compromise from such a negro-hating people as those of the Northern States, especially if some Northern victory should redress the balance ; with such possibilities, therefore, before us, we have not the slightest inclination to prophecy respecting the probable course of events. One thing is clear enough—that republics have in this quarrel nothing to boast of as com pared with monarchies. Manchester will feelingly acknowledge that the great modern republic has not shown itself for " peace-at-any-price"--neither people nor Government. The cotton city will con fess also that commercial bonds prove to be very weak restraints on the warlike passions. Massa chusetts is absolutely dependent, even more than Manchester, on the South for cotton ; yet she was amongst the first to offer regiments, instead of pro posing conciliatory measures. New York, again, half lives by its Southern commerce, yet the mer cantile city, through whose hands passed the greater part of the Southern crops, was amongst the most mad after the attack on Fort Sumter. Again, the Republic seems quite as bad as our Horse Guards and Court can be, in regard to promotion in the army by favour, not by merit. One of the first good effects of the Republic was that the PRE SIDENT felt the necessity of placing the reorganisa tion of the army in the hands of one competent man. Of course General SCOTT selected M'CLEL LAN, and he was invested with full powers to nominate all his subordinate officers, even of the highest grade, according to his own views of their com petency for what he wanted of them. It would hardly be believed, but the fact is, that this last power was withdrawn, and- the most influential politicians obtained a share in these nominations, on which to a certainty the triumph of the North depends. An ANSON, or a CODRINGTON, a LUCAN, or a CARDIGAN were not half so bad inflictions on the army, through Court or aristocratic favour, as many of those appear to be, to whose ignorance, and perhaps cowardice—of which last no one accuses even our Court pets—the fortunes of the Northern Republic are now to be committed. If the South prove as penniless and destitute of resources as has been so often asserted, she may be unable to keep her army in the field ; but they have the vast advantage of fighting on, and as they think for, their own soil, while the North by every step made towards Southern subjugation would be farther from home. Again, the vile cause of the South is dearer to those who fight for it than the cause, not so bad, of the North. The South fights for Self-government and slavery—the North for Federal Government and slavery ; and patriotism for a big Union is not so deeply felt, as patriotism for the soil on which one lives. There are many indications that the Southern cry has far more personal interest for its combatants than that of the North. This is a decided advantage in war, as in politics. The North can conquer only by raising a kind of stand ing army, and incurring an outlay at which the patriotism of mere ambition to retain an immense overgrown Union may soon begin to quail. We seem to see the beginning of this already. Time only can shew whether the feeling will increase, and materially affect the fortunes and the issue of the war. Already we have recalled to recollection, since the close of the late session, the chief among the Wed nesday defeats experienced during the course of it by the Government. Already we have recapitulated the unusual number of changes in the House of Commons during the last half year's sitting of Par liament. It may be as well, before August has been allowed to advance further, to epitomise the debtor and creditor account in regard to those changes which admit now of being jotted down and balanced between the side of the Opposition and the side of the Government. Examining into these changes it is impossible not to perceive at a glance that the advantage gained during the whole session is decidedly in favour of the Op position. Directly or indirectly the Tories have won upon the majority of appeals made during the session of 1861 to the various constituencies. Directly or indirectly the Liberals have in conse quence of this—by necessity—lost. Seat after seat has been transferred from the right hand to the left hand of Mr. SPEAKER. A Liberal has resigned let us say through ill health or what not—at any rate, whatever the reason may have been, a Liberal has resigned. Immediately afterwards the constituency has been appealed to, and lo ! a Tory, or a Conser vative, or a Liberal-Conservative, or a Conservative- Liberal, or whatever you may please to call him, in point of fact no matter what his designation, a supporter of the Opposition, has been returned. It has been thus—as the public will very well remember in a general way —not once or twice merely, but again and yet again; until, little by little the powerful Opposi tion has become more and more powerful. A re action—there is no denying it, the facts speak unfortunately but all too plainly—a decided reaction has set in, and the seats change from hand to hand accordingly. Let us look into a few of the most remarkable of these gains to the Opposition, these losses to the Government. They are significant enough of the reaction to which we have alluded, to justify us in turning back awhile, however dis agreeable the task may be in itself, for the purpose of making this retrospective reconsideration of them. What has occured already so often, may occur again, must and will occur repeatedly upon any subsequent opportunities of the like kind. Par ticularly is this probable upon the very face of it, fromtliemere circumstance that it is impossible to recogni ze anywhere in the annals of the past session any reason, however small, even though it had been of the most microscopical character, why a reaction should at length set in upon the reaction. And here glares upon the recognition of all, the origin of thereaction • l t sel fi i n n fnanveo com prehensive o f Toryism, at any rate of Conservatism, and comprehensible word of the f , Op position." . . It has arisen — this reaction _then, wh o lly and solely, from the constituencies finding out to their eost that the Reforming Govern ment installed in office upon the rejection of Lord DERBY'S Reform Bill, has turned out to b e no Reforming Government after all. As the result of that rejection of the Reform Bill laid upon the table of the House of Commons by Mr. DISRAELI—as the result of that egregious acceptance of Lord JOHN'S dodging "Resolutions" —Reform, so far from being in any way furth ered, has just fairly gone to the wall. Session has fol lowed session—and Reform, like the ruck on the Derby • Day, is " Nowhere." What is more, too, in regard to it, is this—that not only have we no Reform before us, we have absolutely now no prospect, not even the dimmest and faintest prospect, of any Reform whatever. This—thanks to Lord JOHN'S precious Reso lutions. Lord JOIIN, in reality, has himself so fully recognised V:e hopelessness of the cause he has been so long, and in the end so mistakenly advo cating, that he has consented to remain Lord JOHN no longer—he has quitted the House of Commons and entered the Lords under the shadow of his Earldom. In regard to Reform, indeed, the people have been distinctly, elaborately, and deliberately sold by the Coalition. Hence—the reaction to Con servatism. And now for the most conspicuous indications of its spread during the course of the last session, among the constituencies who have been appealed to for an expression once more of their political opinions. Don't we all recollect —only too painfully—how immediately upon the retirement of the late lamented Right Han. SIDNEY HERBERT from the representation of South Wiltshire in the House of Commons [with the vain hope at the time that the comparative repose of a seat in the House of Lords might yet spare that able and accomplished statesman to his country, until long a ft e r he should in the course of nature have suc ceeded to the Earldom of Pembroke]—don't we all recollect how that eminent man, himself one of the Cabin et Ministers, was immediately succeeded, in the election for South Wilts, by a Conservative ? The new member for South Wilts being Colonel BATHURST, a staunch supporter of the Opposition. There was one distinct loss to the Government— one distinct gain to the Opposition. Again—no sooner had Lord HADDO been called to the House of Peers immediately upon the demise of his father, the late venerable Earl of ABERDEEN, when his vacated seat was handed over to Mr. LESLIE, another Con servative—another supporter of the Opposition, now M.P. for Aberdeenshire. Gain number two for the Opposition. Loss number two for the Government. ti third loss to Ministers ; a third gain to their confronting antagonists, was that consequent upon the return of the Tory in lieu of a Liberal candidate by reason of the reactionary movement setting in among certain of the electors in the county of Cork. Then there was, nearer home, the borough of Leicester. Dr. JOSEPH NOBLE, the late Liberal member, dies, and the electors of Leicester forthwith return Mr. HEYGATE, a Con servative pur sang, an out-and-out supporter of the Tory Opposition. Further loss to the right— further gain to the left of Mr. SPEAKER. There are other changes of seats also as distinct as the foregoing that might be yet very readily enumerated. Changes in which, if we can not so clearly recognise the replacement of a Liberal by a Conservative, we may at least perceive that a member who has been disposed to vote oc casionally with Ministers has been succeeded by another who is absolutely certain to vote invariably with the Opposition. There is Selkirkshire for example—where in place of a moderate Liberal- Conservative like Mr. ALLAN LOCKHART, there is henceforth Lord H. SCOTT, one of the sons of the Tory Duke of BUCCLEUCH. Again in Montgomery burghs—an advantage has been manifestly secured to the Opposition by the fact that Mr. DAVID PUGH has been succeeded by his son-in-law, Captain WILLIS JOHNSON—Conservatism preponderating over Liberalism in the views of the latter, whereas in those of the former Liberalism as appreciably prepon derated over Conservatism. Even in the instance of the little borough of Andover—a certain gain is noticeable on the side of the Opposition. For while the late member, Mr. WILLIAM CUBITT, now the Lord Mayor of London, was indubitably a supporter of Lord DERBY, the new member for Andover, Mr. H. B. COLES, is a yet more resolute supporter of Lord DERBY, and of the Conservative principles that noble earl represents. Altogether, out of the eighteen contested elections that have taken place during the late session of 1861, six constituencies (in place of six decided Liberals) have sent six de cided Conservatives to the Commons House of Par liament. Besides which there are one or two others in which seats are filled no longer as they used to be by decided Liberals, but, on the contrary, by very undecided Liberal-Conservatives. All these losses having quite manifestly fallen upon the Coali tion—retributively. His Royal Highness the Duke of Oporto, attended by Manoel de Camera, Lord Chamberlain to the King of Portugal, and Antonio Serpi. de Sousa and An tonio de Sampaia Vine, officers of the Portuguese corvette Barthome Diaz, arrived at Claridge's Hotel on Sunday evening, from Southampton. The Duchess of Inverness has left Kensington Palace, for the Castle Hotel, Richmond, for a few e weeks. The Marquis and Marchioness of Clanricarde have arrived in Paris from town, on their way to Homberg, where they propose passing several weeks. Lord Dankel lin, M.P., has gone to Harrowgate. The Earl and Countess of Rosebery and Lady Louisa Primrose left Warren-roads, Harts, yesterday, fox Dab - luny Park, near Edinburgh, for the season. Frances Countess of Albemarle and Colonel the Hon. P. Cust are staying at Belton House, Grantham, not at Ashridge Park, as stated in error yesterday. Viscount Palmerston left London yesterday on a visit to her Majesty at Osborne, Isle of Wight. Major-General Sir Richard Airey left town last Saturday to accompany his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge on a tour of inspection in Ireland. The Hon. Lady Airey and family leave Grosvenor-place on the 15th inst. for Germany. THE EARTHQUAKE AT ANTlGUA.—Respecting the reported earthquake at Antigua, it would appear that the information came by the last West India mail, and that the alleged destruction of life is altogether untrue, the lass being £2,000, and not 2,000 persons. THE WEATHER.—Yesterday the thermometer registered in the streets of the metropolis 110 deg. Fahr. in the sun, or 36 Reaumur, or from 95 to 97 deg. Fahr. in the shade, a heat almost unprecedented in this country ; whilst at the Royal Humane Society's receiving -house, Hyde park, and other similarly exposed situations, the instru ment at noonday recorded 119 deg. Fahr. Mr. Blanchard Jerrold will, we understand, read a paper " On the Influence of Journalism on the Progre , s of Popular Education," at the Social Science Congress, to be held at Dublin in the course of the present week, under the presidency of Lord Brougham. THE LATE LORD HERBERT AND THE EDINBURGH TIME-GUN.—The citizens of Edinburgh (says the Scots man) are perhaps not generally aware that they were very much indebted to the late Secretary of State for War for carrying out Mr. Hewat's proposal for the audible time signal; for though the Lords of her Majesty's Treasury had granted their permission, and sanctioned the use of the galvanic apparatus in connection with the time-ball at the Observatory, still the whole completing of the arrange ment depended entirely on the War-offico. One of our city members (the Lord Advocate, being the personal friend of Lord Herb3rt) communicated with his lordship on the sub ject, which gave additional weight to the memorial from the Chamber of Commerce; and having thus a "friend at court," the Secretary took a great interest in the matter, and by his lordship's exertions the inhabitants or the city received a gift of one of the Castle guns. VALUABLE SERVICES OF A LIFE BOAT.—CAIIORE, Aug. 10.—On Wednesday, the 7th inst., at half-past 11 o'clock a.m., the Spanish barque Premira de Torrierriga, 320 tons, Don Jacobo Blusco, master, sailing under the British flag from Liverpool to Havannah, with a valuable cargo, went aground at the Blackwater bank. The weather was thick and foggy at the time and a heavy sea running, with the wind to the S.W. Her rudder was at once dis abled, and one of her pumps choked, and the barque made water rapidly. The master and 14 men left the vessel in one ho ofsucceeded v t e h r , e their noa inadvertently aeurdtei boats, nnl and y,l lterßt a a t ol t nt e i r one naboorae board d o a had been t One o shmipa.n hAatd2 swamped,been p.m. en information was sent to Cahore of the wreck, when the life boat of the National Life-boat Institution stationed at that place was immeeiately launched and proceeded to the bank. Meanwhile the barque had worked off, and with one sailor on board drifted out to sea. As soon as this was observed from the life boat her course was altered and she bore down to the ship, which she succeeded in overtaking about five miles N.E. from Cahore Point. The crew of the life boat finding after getting on board the vessel that the water was rapidly increasing in her hold, thought it advisable to ruu for the beach near Arklow, which was safely accomplished. The vessel now lies there. eventNEW Bis h Bishopric p r o i of ofa to th t e he clergymanbeing SPlRlTUALappointed E PEER.—In directly. t Durham, instead d the translation of a Bisho p takin g p lace, will be no difference made in the s p iritual p eera g e, as the new Bishop will be entitled to take his seat at once as Bishop of Durham, under the Manchester Bishopric Act. Should, however, any Bishop be promoted to the richer see of Durham, as mill in all probability be the case, Dr. Phil pott, the recently consecrated Bishop of Worcester, will be entitled to take his seat in the House of Lords at the com mencement of the next session, and will have to perform the duties of junior bishop, now discbarged by the Bishop of Carlisle. THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 13, 1861. Ai : 111r , r 1 NEWS. TURIN, AUG. 12. The Italia of to-day publishes letters from Rome, stating that, notwithstanding the arrest of Giorgi, the bandit chief, by Gen. Goyon, the enrolment of brigands continued in Rome, and that the action of the French gendarmerie was paralysed by the Pon tifical Government, who maintained that the French police had encroaches' upon the authority of the Pope. FRANKFORT-ON-THE-MAINE, AUG. 12. The Federal Diet held an extraordinary sitting to-day, in which the last communication from the Danish Government was discussed. The convaittee on the Schleswig-Holstein ques tion declared that, in consequence of this commu nication, there was no reason for preparing further measures in reference to the execution of the Fede ral resolution of the '".th February last. THORN, AUG. 12. The Governor of Warsaw caused placards to be posted up in the city yesterday, warning the public to abstain from making any demonstrations to-day, and prohibiting, under severe penalties, all festivities and the closing of shops. THORN, AUG. 12, EVENING. A proclamation, issued by the Chief of the Police at Warsaw, declares the statement that one man had been killed in the late disturbances to be totally unfounded, and says that one person only had been slightly wounded. The proclamation adds—" The recent disturb ances have compelled the authorities to take pre cautionary measures against the disloyalty created by turbalenipeople." It is said that M. Lambert's appointment as Governor of Poland will be cancelled, and that M. de Kisseleff will be appointed in his stead. PARIS, AUG. 12. The hearing of M. Mires' appeal has been post poned until the 19th inst. The Patrie of this evening says :—" The state ment that the Emperor will accompany the King of Prussia into Germany (?) is without foundation." The King of Sweden left Paris this morning; CALCUTTA, SIILY 15. (By Telegraph to Point de Galle.) The condition of the indigo plantations in the Tirhoot district is worse, in consequence of the excessive fall of rain. The indigo produce in Bengal is bad. CALCUTTA, JULY 8 (via Trieste). A deficit in the revenue is apprehended, in con sequence of the fall in the price of opium. Mr. Denison has returned from the district of the Godavery. It is reported that the Supreme Government has ordered the Godavery works to be proceeded with immediately. SHANGHAI, JUNE 19 (via Trieste). A good understanding prevails between the foreign representatives and the Chinese at Pekin. The river Yang-tae has risen above Nankin. The country about Hankow is under water, and the inhabitants are becoming alarmed. MELBOURNE, JUNE 25 (via Trieste). The following are the departures of gold ships since the last mail:— The Koh-i-noor, with The Orwell The Water Nymph 50,7680z. Total. 89,6450 z. FRANCE. PARIS, MONDAY EVENING. Under the head of " Latest Intelligence," La Presse publishes the following : " The Marquis de Banneville, French Minister at Munich, has arrived at Paris, and has assumed the direction of Foreign Affairs. The King of Sweden and Prince Oscar have paid a visit to Cher bourg, where a breakfast was offered to them by the authorities." A correspondent from Eaux-Bonnes writes on the 9th The Empress arrived here two even ings back at five, and was received with enthusias tic cheers. Twenty-four mountaineers, in their characteristic costumes, went to meet her Majesty, and though the rain fell in torrents at the time, great numbers of people were out to witness her arrival. The Prefect of the Basses-Pyrenees, who was passing through the town •on his way home from a conference of prefects at Bordeaux, dined with her Majesty in the evening. As on previous occasions, her Majesty lives in strict incognito. Mme. de Lourmel and the Marquise de Lagrange compose her whole suite. The Empress was happy to find at Eaux-Bonnes the children of her lamented sister the Duchess d'Albe, a son and two daughters, who pass part of every day with her. Eaux-Bonnes has assumed quite another aspect since last year. The bare grass plots and stunted trees of the Eng lish garden have been replaced by verdant lawns and evergreens; while seats have been placed in all the walks. At the entrance of the garden a plaster model of a monumental column, to be here• after executed in marble, has been erected, bearing on one side the inscriptions-' The English Garden restored by order of the Empress,' and the other, The grateful town of Eaux-Bonnes.'

DEATH FROM THE KICK OF A HORSE.—A dis tressing occurrence took place last evening in Burwood mews, Paddington, under the subjoined circumstance. About 5 o'clock p.m. George Dearlove, cab-driver, aged 36, residing at 3, Manning-street, Marylebone, (hove his cab into the above mews to change his horse, and while in the act of unfastening the kicking strap, which it appears from the vicious propensity of the animal was needed and used, the horse kicked him so violently in the stomach as to cause almost instantaneous death. The poor fellow was removed to St. Mary's Hospital, but medical attendance being of no avail, the remains were deposited in the dead-house to await a coroner's inquest. MR T. S. DUNGOMBE AND HUNGARY. TO THE UNITED COUNTIES OF PESTLE, SILIS, AND SOLT. Gentlemen,—Mr. de Neppel has done me the honour to place the address from Pesth in my hands. Your flattering appreciation of my humble ser vices in aid of the noble cause in which Hungary is engaged is, I fear, far beyond any value those ser vices possess, but such as they are, permit me to assure you they arc at all times at your command. I rejoice to learn, that while you are resolved not to allow yourselves to he betrayed into any prema ture resistance to the tyranny and intrigues by which Austria perfidiously seeks to deprive you of those rights (the unconditional respect for which is sole title to your allegiance), you have determined not to abandon one particle of that constitution to which by law you are entitled. Nevertheless, the position of your country is most critical, and when considered together with the pre sent state of Rome, of Venetia, and of Warsaw, is a disgrace to civilised Europe. How this lamentable state of things is to be remedied, whether by an appeal to arms, or by a Congress honestly convened, and honourably intentioned, a few more months must determine; and notwithstanding German in fluences and intrigues are everywhere at work, and our Minister at the head of our foreign department is, I fear, not unfavourably disposed towards their success, yet with the people of England and of France in continued and faithful alliance, with a rising Italy by their side, I see no reason for nationalities to despond, or the sacred cause of con stitutional liberty to despair. In the meantime I think it would be well if the family of Hapsburg would reflect upon the fate of the Bourbons at Naples; otherwise, like that de tested dynasty, its day may come, and, like the Bourbons, only be remembered by the wrongs they perpetrated, and the tyranny they happily failed to establish.—l am, &c., THOMAS SLINGSBY DUNCOMBE.

She brings 141 passengers and 637,404 dcls. in specie, and 1,489 packages of cargo. Antigua dates are to the 27th ult. There is no confirmation of the news of an earthquake having taken place there. Her Majesty's frigate Mersey arrived at Aspin wall on the 18th ult., bound for Jamaica. Business in Chili continued depressed, and seve ral failures had occurred. The great reduction in freights was expected to result beneficially for the miners. The country remained tranquil in the midst of the Presidential election. It was expected that Senor Jose Joanquinperez would be elected. News from the silver and copper mines is un favourable. Considerable excitement had been created in Lima, owing to the election of the second Vice-President. At Valparaiso exchange on London at 90 days' sight was quoted 441 ; bar Silver, per mart, 10.634 dols. ; bar copper, per quintal, 17.50 dols. The weather at Demerara was wet and un healthy. The canes on many estates had been 'in jured by continued rain. Business was seriously checked. Importations of all descriptions were in excess, and prices had generally receded. Pro duce was scarce, and prices nominal. Tonnage was abundant. At Barbadoes the weather had much improved, the rain having abated. The crop was nearly all finished, but the yield was very indifferent, and scarcely worth reaping. The market was well sup plied with all descriptions of imports. Exchange on London, 30 days' sight, was quoted 490 dols. Private bills at 96 days 480 do!s. The cotton question still engaged attention at Jamaica. Applications for immigrants were on the increase among the planters. The market remained in an unsettled condition, and there was a falling off in business to the lowest demand.

PRINCE NAPOL EON IN NEW YORK. (From the New York Herald.) Prince Napoleon and his consort continue to maintain the strictest seclusion, and it is now a settled fact that they have not the least intention to make any public appearance during their sojourn among us, but simply to visit our institutions, and come and go in the same private manner that would be adopted by any gentleman and lady from abroad not possessing the prestige of imperial rank. They have taken apartments on the ground floor of the New York Hotel, fronting on Washington-place. The apartments are tastefully fitted up, with all the modern conveniences. A bedstead in the Prin-. cess's room, in the Gothic style, cost originally 3,000 dols. Several gentlemen called and left their cards yesterday, but he saw none. It is under stood that although his royal highness has taken rooms at the hotel, it is simply for the conve nience of having a stopping place in his rambles through the city and about the environs, as hitherto he has slept on board his yacht, and spent all his time there when he had no engagements on shore. At noon yesterday a special meeting of the Board of Councilmen was held at the City Hall, when, after the special business for which they had met had been disposed of, Mr. Barney introduced re solutions in regard to the Prince Napoleon and suite, tendering them the hospitalities of the city, prefacing the introduction with the remark that the consideration of any further business might not be admissible, if strictly adhering to the rule; but as there was a distinguished visitor in the city now, it was proper to take unusual steps in order to extend due courtesies to him. The resolutions authorised the Committee on National Affairs, with the approval of the Board of Aldermen, to act in connexion with the Mayor, and tender the hospitalities of the city to the Prince and his suite, and also to tender him the use of the Governor's room for a public reception. The resolutions were adopted without debate. In pursuance of this action of the Board of Coun cilmen, his Honour Mayor Wood called at the New York Hotel yesterday, and paid his respects to the Prince. He was most cordially received, upon which the Mayor tendered him the hospitalities of the city and a public reception. His imperial highness expressed his high sense of the courtesy but respectfully declined acceptance, as he desires to maintain strict privacy during his visit here. It is not improbable, however, that before he leaves this country the Prince will return the Mayor's visit in a private manner, by calling at his resi dence on the Bloomingdale-road. During the day the Prince paid a visit to the Central-park, which, though not to be compared with the finished Bois de Boulogne, must have im pressed him with the magnitude of the work and the energy of our people. From Central-park Prince Napoleon proceeded to the High Bridge, where he had another opportunity of appreciating their enter prise in the construction ofso substant Alan aqueduct, and in conveying a stream of pure water through this great city at such vast expense. Another place of interest visited by the imperial party was the Astor Library. The Prince and aids were accompanied by Mons. Bertinnetti. They were received and shown through the several apartments by the librarian and his assistants. His Imperial Highness seemed to take great interest in the institution, and asked several questions rela tive to the manner in wh 'a'a it was founded, to which satisfactory answers were returned. On leaving, he thanked the librarian for his attention, and ex pressed himself much pleased with all he had seen. The Imperial party slept on board the Jerome Napoleon last night. This morning the Prince and a portion of his suite start for Washington, and thence on their tour out west. The Princess, the Duchess d'Abrantes, ladies-in-waiting and attend ants, will breakfast at the New York Hotel, where they will remain for a few weeks in the strictest seclusion till the Prince's return. NATIONAL EDUCATION IN IRELAND.—A retm n which has been issued from the office of National Educa tion states that the sums voted by Parliament for the pur pose of national education in Ireland, from the commence ment of the system to the end of the year 1860, amount in the whole to £3,317,064. The local contributions in aid of teachers' salaries were £43,961 in 1860, and there are also local contributions otherwise in sustainment of the system. 4,078 schools have been built without any aid from Parlia ment. THE NA TTY. Her Majesty's paddle yacht Victoria and Albert, Captain the Hon. Joseph Denman, according to pre sent arrangements, will sail from Portsmouth on the 19th inst. for Holyhead, whence she will convey her Majesty to Ireland. The Osborne, Admiralty yacht, Master Comman der G. K. Bowers, arrived at Spithead at 6 p.m. yesterday from Plymouth and Portland. The Board will commence their inspection of the dock yard, public buildings, and works under their juris diction at that port to-day. The President, 50, attached to the reserve at Chatham, was ;owed into harbour: yesterday by the African and Otter steamers, to be fitted as a training ship for the Naval Reserve and stationed in the Thames, where she relieves the Brilliant, 20, which returns to Chatham. The Winchester, 50, sailing ship, having been fitted with her lower masts and rigging, left Chat ham yesterday afternoon, in tow of two steamers, for Liverpool, where she will be stationed, to be used as a training ship for boys at that port. Yesterday the first of the powerful steam cranes which Messrs. Taylor, of the Britannia Ironworks, the patentees, have entered into a contract for sup plying to the Admiralty, was successfully fixed in its place on the tramways which extend the whole length of the dock at Chatham in which the Achilles, 50, will be built. Four of these portable steam lifts are to be employed in raising the massive beams, armour-plates, and other heavy portions of the ironwork used in the construction of the vessel, and each will lift a weight of five tons. Two steam lifts have been under trial for several weeks past on the Anchor wharf at Chatham Dockyard, in loading and un loading the various transports. So satisfied are the Admiralty with their performance that they are to be generally adopted at that establishment, and tramways laid down the entire length of the wharf to facilitate their removal from one part of the wharf to another. The following appointments were made yester- day at the Admiralty :—Dr. John Dunlop and Dr. John Robertson (b), to be Deputy Inspectors of Hospitals on the retired list ; and John T. Gabriel, surgeon to the Virago.

Turner, stationed at Hilsea, was yes terday officially inspected on Southsea•common, Portsmouth, by Major General Lord W. Paulet, C. 8., commanding the South-Western district. The Major-General, accompanied by Col. Somerset and other officers, arrived on the ground where the bat tery was drawn up at 3 p.m., and immediately commenced the inspection. The battery was put through a series of manoeuvres incidental to move ments of attack and defence in the field in presence of an enemy, firing blank, all of which were exe cuted with great precision and rapidity. At the close of the proceedings Lord Paulet said it was exc'edingly creditable both to officers and soldiers to find a body of men who had but recently returned from service in China in so efficient and orderly a state. A portion of the Ist company of Royal Engineers, numbering about 30 non-commissioned officers and men, with the 9th company, arrived a few days since from the Mediterranean. The men belonging to the Ist company have been sent to Plymouth, where they are employed in the erection and repair of the defences at that part of the coast•.

The church was opened for public worship on Sunday last. IRELAND. DUBLIN, MONDAY MORNING. CONFESSION OF A TRIPLE MURDER AND ROBBERY. The following appears in the Sligo Champion of Saturday : " Mathew Phibbs has at length given evidence that he has awakened to a sense of the enormity of his crime. He has justified the finding of the intelligent gentlemen who were empanelled on the coroner's jury in Ballymote, in January lass—and the verdict of the jurors who tried his case at our recent assizes —by confessing that he was the murderer of Mr. William Callaghan, his wife Fanny Cal laghan, and their servant, Anne Mooney. " We had heard more than a fortnight since that Phibbs expressed a wish to have an interview with Mr. Lindsay, Primitive 'Wesleyan preacher, and it is probable enough that he would have made a confession to that gentleman had ho been permitted to see him ; but such permission was n ot granted, and Phibbs ultimately disburdened his mind to one of the turnkeys, named Bell, to whom he admitted that it was his hand that had deprived Mr. and Mrs. Callaghan and their servant of life. He also mentioned that he had hidden some of the property he had taken in a field belong ng to Captain Gethiu, and which is about 300 yards distant from Callaghan's house. On the following morning 0101 turnkey's term of duty ha v i ng cease d for 24 hours, Bell availed himself of th e opp or t un ity t o proceed to Ballynit?te, and on searching M r .

Bell then went to the house of Mr. Forde, adjacent to the residence o: the late Mr. Callaghan; and Forde, who is a very respectable man, told him that he and I more than 20 others had searched the same ground, but only found a muslin handkerchief. On returning to the gaol Bell acquainted Phibbs with his fruitless search, and questioned him about the handkerchief, and Phibbs de scribed the handkerchief—a cross-barred muslin, so as to leave no doubi that it was the one referred to by Mr. Fordo. phibb's recollection was that this handkerchief was put );T him in the save spot as the 41,A DEATH OF MADAME C.ATHBRINB BAY ES. • In Catherine Hayes Ireland has lost one of th e sweetest singers of its national airs. A daughte r of the sister isle, she was thoroughly imbued with the spirit of its melody : and it was in the alter; nately wild and tender melodies which have inspired so many poets—and foremost among them Thomas Moore, whose " Irish Melodies," more than all,: thing else that fell from his pen, proclaim 1 1 genius and perpetuate his name—that her g en ,, itt r warmth of expres s i on f oun d it s hi g h e st medium °, display.
