Ho came there that day to express his admiration of the science, and his respect for Dr. Elliotson. (Laud cheers.) He would conclude by call ing upon Dr. Vaughan to move the first resolution, viz., that the report be adopted, printed, and circulated as widely as possible. _ _ _ that the accused had said 'lam an Abolitionist,' &c. The witnesses, neighbours of the acc use d, gave th e i r ev id ence reluctantly, saying they had warned him of the folly and danger of his conduct. O'Keefe says he has beed a United States' soldier, and came here from St. L ou i s an d K a n sa s. "John White was arraigned before Recorder Emerson on Saturday for uttering ineendiary language while travel ling in the baggage car of a train of the New Orleans, Ohio, and Great Western Railroad, intimating that the decapita tor of Jefferson Davis would get 10,000 dols. for his trouble, and the last man of us would be whipped like dogs by the Liacolnites. He was held under bonds of 500 dols. to answer the charge on the Bth of June. " Nicholas Gento, charged with declaring himself an Abolitionist, and acting very mnch like he was one by har. bouring a runaway safe, was sent to prison, in default of bail, to await examination before the Recorder." Such is " freedom of speech" in Louisiana! • But in Texas the machinery for the production of "una nimity" is less complicated, and there are no insult ing legal formalities connected with the working of the simple appliances which a primitive agricultural people have devised for their own purposes.

Dr. VAUGHAN', in moving the adoption of the report, bore testimony to the value of mesmerism, for, in the case of a dearly beloved member of his family, it had been tried with such effect that the lady in question, from being in a state of great physical and painful prostration, was now enabled to take her place in society, and perform pieces of music on the piano ; and this great change had been effected through the influence of mesmerism, which had been put in practice in the case in question by his friend Dr. Elliotson. - in igs fter mrt MR.

GROSSMITH'S " GOVERNMENT UPON FIRST PRINCIPLES." The cause is there predicated of the monetary difficulties ex perienced in 18E0. The Crisis is at hand. Anxiety in bus ness has now become the grim torture. Purity of motive, intelligently exercised, must animate all Governments, or all is lost, All denominations of Constitutions are carefully examined in J. Grossmith's "Government upon First Prin ciples." Mr. HARRY POLAND seconded the motion, which was adopted. Mr. IV. J. Fox, M.P., moved the next resolution, which had relation to the appointments of those members of the council of the Infirmary who went out by rotation, and said that the report which had been read to them proved that mesmerism was sound in philosophy, correct in its facts, and justified all that it promised to the public. The science of mesmerism was not new, as had been frequently stated, and the efforts of Dr. Elliotson and his coadjutors had shown that it was a science that alleviated pain, and pro duced results of the most valuable description to suffering humanity. (Hear, hear.) Owing to it he had been mate rially relieved in his eyesight, which had been seriously affected, but now his eyesight had been so much restored that he could read for some hours without inconvenience. The Rev. G. SANSBY had great pleasure in seconding the resolution. He was not a new believer in the truths of mesmerism, he was one of the earliest amongst them, and he looked upon that circumstance with great satisfaction. The resolutior v ns -arried unanimously.

"That such unmitigated lies as those Northern papers disseminate of anarchy and disorder here in Texas, dissen sion among ourselves, and especially from our German, &c., population, with dangers and anxieties from the fear of in surrection among the negroes, &c., should be deemed any where South worthy of a moment's thought. It is surely notorious enough that in no part of the South are Aboli tionists or other disturbers of the public peace so very unsafe as in Texas. The lasso is so very convenient 1" Here is an excellent method of preventing dissen sion described by a stroke of the pen; and as such an ingenious people are not likely to lose sight of the uses of a revolution in developing peculiar prin ciples to their own advantage, repudiation of debts to the North has been proclaimed and acted on. One gentleman has found it convenient to inform Major Anderson that he does not intend to meet certain bills which he had given the Major for some slaves. Another declares he won't pay anybody at all, as he has discovered it is immoral, and contrary to the law of nations, to do so. A third feels him self bound to obey the commands of the Governor of his State, who has ordered that debts due to the North shall not be liquidated.

" The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers from this distressing malady by translating this little book, and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own purses. The difference between true Spermatorrhcea and the various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately de scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of the malady."—Medical Circular. - - - -• ~ GOVERNMENT SECURITY LIFE POLICIES.

KIRBY seconded a resolution expressive of the warm thanks of the meeting to Dr. Elliotson for his zeal and ability in promoting the science of mesmerism, and for the warmth and goodness of his heart in connection with the manner in which he had worked out the usefulness of that science.

Two quarts of this compound meal, weighing 31bs., at the cost of 5d., mixed with a peck of chopped hay, is a feed for a draught horse, and superior in every respect to three quarterns of oats, costing 7id. 14 barrels weigh net 1 ton 1 cwt., at 16s. per cwt., £l6 168. net cash, free, delivered by my own waggons to any station in London.

REVIEWS OF THE WORK. "Curtis on Manhood.—This is a truly valuable work, and should be in the hands of young and old." " Sunday Times," ad March, 1856. "The author has conferred a great boon by publishing this little work, in which is described the source of those diseases which produce decline in youth or more frequently premature old age."—" Daily Telegraph." March 27, 1856. " This work, which for twenty years has stoo d th e test of professional criticism and empirical hostility, treats in a plain and sympathising manner on the various disqualifications and impediments arising from nervous excitement and de • bilitY ; and to invalids suffering from youthful errors and 1 excesses it wilt be found valuable and useful."—Record.

The annual meenag of this institution, No. 36, Wey mouth-street, Portland-place, took place yesterday after noon at Willis's Rooms, King-street, St. James's, on which occasion there was a very large assemblage of the friends of the infirmary. Amongst those present on the platform we observed Sir W. Topham, Sir William Kirbey, Monckton Milnes, Esq., M.P., William J. Fox, Esq., M.P., the Rev. Dr. Vaughan, the Rev. G. Sansby, H. Poland, Esq., Wing, Esq., Dr. Purland, Dr. Elliotson, and other staunch friends of the cause. On the motion of Dr. ELLIOTSON, the chair was taken by MONCKTON MILNES, Esq., who announced that the proceedings of the day would commence with the reading of the annual report. Mr. WING then, in a very clear and distinct manner, read the statement, which was a long and/ interesting one, from which we extract the following portions INSANITY.—" We have up to this time reported but one case of the treatment of insanity with mesmerism ; but that was a cure, and, like the majority of mesmeric cures, striking and satisfactory. The account appeared in our Fifth Report, which may be found in the forty-sixth num ber of The Zoist. The patient was a middle-aged man, anxious to die, and who meditated suicide, believing that all around him were happy while he was cursed and all his efforts doomed to turn out badly : that people were always insulting him and absolutely distracted with endless other fancies. He had taken immense quantities of medicine in vain : but he improved under us immediately, and left us perfectly well in less than two months. The following case of insanity cured by mesmerism deserves to be recorded :—" On the 27th of June, 1861 4 Dr. Elliotson received a letter from the father of the young man named Childs, informing him of the delusion he laboitted under, viz., that he was heir to the throne, that George the IV. was his father, and Queen Victoria his mother. Dr. Elliotson gave directions for him to attend the infirmary, and ho was brought daily, and mesmerised by Mr. Russel. This began on the 14th of February, and on the 13th of March he was carefully examined by the Council, and did not exhibit any trace of insanity. On the 16th March, the gentleman who sent him to the infirmary wrote to Dr. Elliotson—' It would have given you pleasure to see the delight of the young man's father and mother— people as deserving as can be found in the world. They send you their thanks and blessing. We advised that he should be occasionally mesmerised for some time to come : as it is very wrong to relinquish mesmerism soon after the cessation of any chronic affection. We have received letters from both the patient and his family to a late period, stating his healthy condition. "NEURALGIA.—The following case of neuralgia, as pitiable as can well be imagined, displays the power of mesmerism over the disease most remarkably. On last September the 6th, a poor Italian shoemaker, named Julio Antonio Fano, working for Mr. Thierry, 70 Itegentestreet, was brought to the infirmary by Mrs. Fradelle, who had found him in the utmost misery begging in the streets. Six months previously, he had been seized with severe pain at the lowest part of the left side of the back of the neck, and it spread to the fore part of the right half of the head, and to the shoulders, so that he nearly lost the use of his arms, and could scarcely raise the stick which sup ported him in walking, nor could he pick up money which his companions threw upon the ground for him. His head had - became gradually and firmly drawn down and to the right side, so that he could neither raise nor turn it in any direction. He was in a hospital for three weeks, and, when found in the streets begging by Mrs. Fradelle, was taking medicine as an out-patient. As soon as he was got to the Infirmary Mr. Fradelle mesmerised him. The following day, Sept. 7, be was able to work a very little. On Oct. 3, he could work at his trade for four or five hours, and on the 17th for seven hours a day. He then left us ; but he pre sented himself before us in the middle of last month, in perfect health, to the astonishment of all who saw him. STAMMERING.—This distressing affection is decidedly of a nervous nature, and bears some affinity to chorea or St. Vitus's dance. Mary Ann Mille, aged 23, of 17, Upper George-street, Portman-square, applied to us, Sept. 27, 1860, on account of stammering. She was always excitable, and when three years of age was frightened by an engrav ing of a skeleton, and soon after by a real skeleton in a house •, she was too frightened to be able to scream, and from that time anything resembling the ribs of a skeleton has caused a nervous sensation ; her spirits were affected, and her speech more or less impeded. Mr. Fradelle mes merised her, and she went to sleep, and even into sleep waking, the first time; and this always happened, and in a week she was decidedly better. On the 28th of March she left us all but cured, and could no longer be spared from business to visit us. She is now quite well. EPILEPSY.—James Wingrove, a house-painter, residing at No. 18, Henstredge-street, Portland Town, had an epi leptic fit on Christmas-day, 1850 ; from strong excitement, he believes. A second occurred in 1851 on the 27th of December, and they,increased in frequency till he had one every week. His friends always concealed their occurrence from him as much as possible ; but he knows that they were violent, for he has at times found his face cut, his tongue bitten nearly through, his head painful for several days, and his limbs so stiff that for some days he could not walk. Various medical gentlemen had prescribed bleeding, cupping, and large quantities of different medicines. Mr. C. Fisher began to mesmerise him on the 7th of November, and regularly till March 8, when ho left us for a situation, the disease having greatly lessened. On the 6th May, he wrote to the Secretary that he had experienced but two at tacks for three months. In the beginning of June, we have learnt that he remains well. Another epileptic, named Frederic Stephen and mesmerised first by Mr. Seymour, then by Mr. C. Fisher, and ultimately by Mr. Russel, has not had a fit since March, 1860. RHEUMATIC GOUT.—Thomas Davis, aged 51, of 26, Weymouth-street, butler, applied May 22, 1861. States that he was first attacked with rheumatism 15 years ago. Was free from it at times for several years. Has had it in various parts of the body. Some called it rheumatic gout. The present attack came on a week ago, and affected the right arm and hand : the hand was much swollen, and very r e e r id doctorsas lehsdiombwyooa out t p o Cf n sleep. fll. painful and inflammed : the swelling extended to the elbow : f t dmr h eo e pemsr a mi The pain, being worse at night, n Fu im s Had hbeerr: a o n n b du former o h r f ermoemr swelling occasionsnone was this advice at t oncei m e . reduced by local passes ; and by June 5 he was quite cured. At the time of our last report we had 36 patients, since then we have had 139, so that there have been treated 175 during the year. Of these 37 are still patients, we have cured or greatly relieved 127, unimproved 48. Many ab sent themselves after a few, or even one or two mesmerisa tions, as if they . expected miracles : many have had no means of continuing their attendance. On account of the soothing and strengthening influence of mesmerism,ithere is scarcely any kind of case, medical or surgical, in which it may not be employed with advan tage, whatever be the established means also properly em ployed. If it does not cure, it may facilitate cure, and may alleviate. In fevers, inflammations, acute and chronic dis eases, functional and structural, and in cases of mechanical injury, it may render immense service: and will one day, we have not the least doubt, be more or less employed as a matter of course. We have always urged that in refusing to investigate carefully, and in opposing mesmerism, a double sin is com mitted ; the sin of scorning nature's facts, and the sin of blindly rejecting a blessing to the human race. In Harvey's time the former sin was committed : but in the present day both are committed. A very large number of persons oppose mesmerism from moral paltroonery ; their miserable fear of ridicule over comes their e•ason and their courage. Not mere* the poo doctor, but some of the wealthiest members of both the houses of Parliament, would be ashamed to see their names in the list of subscribers to our Infirmary. Let them know, however, that the distinguished Rev. Baden Powell, late Savilian Prefessor of Geometry in the University of Ox ford, informs us that :—Hallam and Rogers are cited as veritable witnesses to the truth of certain effects of mes merism, in their day generally disbelieved; and for assert ing which they were met with all but an imputation of " the lie direct." Dr. Elliotson from the first told all who witnessed his cases and doubted, or affected to doubt, in University Col lege Hospital and his own house, that what had occurred would occur again and be witnessed by mankind again and again : because the facts resulted from general laws which must last with the human race. The question of mesmerism must indeed at length be considered by the least informed, as it was many years ago by the Is ell informed, an established truth. This further appears by the increased support given to the Infirmary. The year before last we had 19 new subscribers : last year, 23 : and this year 31. We lament to record the death of a member of the c owerfuloun cil—Mr. Adolphe Kiste, who was not only a p, indefatigable, and most successful mesmeriser, but better acquainted with both the science and the art of mesmerism than most persons. The CHAIRMAN said, after the very interesting report just read, it would not be necessary for him to detain them at any great length, but at the commencement of his re marks he could not forbear saying that ho took the greatest interest in the institution because it did a vast amount of practical good at a very moderate outlay. As he had said it would not be necessary for him to refer to the cures effected; they were generally well known to most of those present. The meetings now of the Mesmeric Infirmary, he was happy to say, were of a very different nature:to what they used to be on former occasions. There were numbers of persons of education and standing in so ciety who used to attend for the purpose of scoffing and ridiculing their exertions,but a great change had occurred, and now the feeling was of an opposite tendency, and many who were th e bitt eres t opponen t s o f mesm erism—were now loudest in its praise. By the establishment of the Mes meric Infirmary a want, that had long existed, had been supplied, and the good wasdaily that and hourly effe c ted was inestimable. Mes • merism was not new, it was "as old as the hills," but it had been allowed to " drop out" by the ancient professors, and -for the recovery of the inestimable blessing they were indebted to the untiring and unceasing exertions of their valued friend, Dr. Elliotson. (Cheers.) It depended on this meeting that the noble recovery should not again be allowed to dwindle down. (Hear, and cheers.) Mesmerism, as an anesthetic, was known and practised amongst the Italians in the 12th and 13th centuries, but then, as now, it was opposed by some of the celebrities of the time. The medical profession of the present day were no t s crupulous in condemning the practice of others. Why, one of the greatest statesmen of the age—the late Count Cavour—had been, it was asserted, bled to death by the use of the lancet. Had mesmerism been resorted to, the world, most probably, would not have had to deplore the loss of one of the master minds of the present age. (Hear, hear.) He (Mr. M.) came amongst them that day to testify his admiration for his valued friend, Dr. Elliotson. lie was eminent for his abilities, and he was glad to know that his opinion in all matters of science was considered that of one of the master minds of thepresent age. He trusted the Infirmary wou ld go on increasing in importance until it took its place amongst the foremost of thosenoble iastatt- The motion was cordially adopted. Dr. ELLIOTSON said he felt greatly obliged to the meet ing for the compliment. He could hardly have conceived it possible for any person endowed with the ordinary facul ties to doubt the truth and existence of mesmerism. As its existence had been established long ago its progress had been slow, but the great truths advanced by Newton shared the same fate for a time. That mesmerism would continue to advance he felt certain, and all attempts to put it back would not merely be absurd but would be acts of insanity. Like many other things mesmer ism had suffered to some degree from the over-zealous exertions of its friends ; they had promised cures in certain cases, and success had not attended them. True disciples of mesmerism made no promises, neither did the professors of medicine or surgery. Amongst the clergy, he rejoiced to say, they had found some of their earliest and strongest friends. At length it had been said that mesmerism had something of the devil about it. (Laughter.) He would conclude by again thanking them for their kindness. Dr. PURLAND in moving a vote of thanks to the early friends of the institution, said, all that was wanted was an increase of funds to lead to increase of usefulness on the part of the Infirmary. It was one deserving the utmost support, and he trusted those who had it in their power would come forward to assist them in their difficult but noble and courageous duty. (Cheers.) The motion having been seconded was carried unani mously. The invaluable exertions of Mr. Fradelle, the secretary of the Institution, and of his amiable lady, the Lady Super intendent, having been gracefully alluded to, the proceed ings terminated. 211 E CIVIL WAR IN AMERICA. THE SOUTHERN STATES. (From the Special Correspondent of the Times.) NEW ORLEANS, MAY 24. It is impossible to resist the conviction that the Southern Confederacy can only be conquered by means as irresistible as those by which Poland was subjugated. The South will fall, if at all, as a nation prostrate at the feet of a victorious enemy. There is no doubt of the unanimity of the people. If words mean anything, they are animated by only one sentiment, and they will resist the North as long as they can command a man or a dollar. There is nothing of a sectional character in this disposi tion of the South. In every State there is only one voice audible. Hereafter, indeed, State jealousies may work their own way. Whatever may be the resist, unless the men are the merest braggarts— and they do not look like it—they will fish to the last before they give in, and their con fidence in their resources is only equalled by their determination to test them to the utmost. There is a noisy vociferation about their declara tions of implicit trust and reliance on their slaves which makes one think they do "protest too much," and it remains to be seen whether the slaves really will remain faithful to their masters should the Abolition army ever come among them as an armed propaganda. One thing is obvious here. A large number of men who might be usefully employed in the ranks are idling ab ou t th e s t ree t s . Th e mi litary enthusiasm is in propo r ti on t o th e p ro p er ty i n terest of the various classes of the people, and the very boast that r many rich men are serving in the ranks is a significant proof either of the want of a substratum, or of th e a b sence o f grea t d ev otion to the cause in any such layer of white people as may underlie the great sl ave h o ldi ng , mer cantile, and planting oligarchy. The whole State of Louisiana contains about 50,000 men liable to serve when called on. Of that number only 15,000 are enrolled and under arms i n any shape whatever, an d if one jis to udge . of the state of affairs by the advertise ments which appear from the Adjutant-General's office, there was some difficulty in procuring the 3,000 men—merely 3 , 00 0 vo l unteers —" to serve during the war," who are required by the Confede rate Government. The re i s pl e nty of " prave 'ords," and if fierce writing and talking could do work the armies on both sides would have been killed and eaten lo ng ago. I t i s f oun d ou t th a t " the lives of the citizens" at Pensacola are too valuable to be destroyed in attacking Pickens. A storm that shall drive away the ships, a plague, yellow fever, mosquitoes, rattlesnakes, smallpox— any of these agencies is looked to with confidence to do the work of shot, shell, and bayonet. Our American " brethren in arms" have yet to learn that great law in military cookery, that " if they want to make omelets they must break eggs." The "moral suasion" of the lasso, of head-shaving, ducking, kicking, and such processes, are, I suspect, used not unfrequently to stimulate volunteers ; and the extent to which the acts of the recruiting officer are somewhat aided by the arm of the law, and the force of the policeman and the magistrate, may be seen from paragraphs in the morning papers now and then, to the effect that certain gentlemen of Milesian extraction, who might have been engaged in pugilistic pursuits, were discharged from custody unpunished on conditio▪ n that they enlisted for the war. With the peculiar views entertained of free dom of opinion and action by large classes of people on this continent, such a mode of obtaining volun teers is very natural, but resort to it evinces a want of zeal on the part of some of the 50,000 who are on the rolls ; and, from all I can hear—and I have asked numerous persons likely to be acquainted with the subject—there are not more than those 15,000 men of whom I have spoken in all the St a te under arms, or in trai▪ ning, of whom a considerable proportion will be needed for garrison and coast defence duties. It may be that the Northern States and Northern sentiments are as violent as those of the South, but I see some evidences to the contrary: For instance, in New York ladies and gentlemen from the South are permitt e d t o live at their favourite hotel without molestation, and one hotel-keeper at Saratoga Springs advertises openly for the custom of his Southern patrons. In no city of the South which I have visited would a party of Northern people be permitt e d t o rema i n f or an hour if the " citizens' were aware of their presence. It is laughable to hear men speaking of the " unani mity" of the South.. Just look a t th e p ecu li ar me ans by which unanimity is enforced and secured ! This is an extract from a New Orleans paper : " Charges of Abolitionism. —.Mayor Monroe has disposed of some of the cases brought before him on charges of this kind by sending the accused to the workhouse. " A Mexican named Bernard Cruz, born in Tampico, and living here with an Irish wife, was brought before the Mayor this morning charged with uttering Abolition senti ments. After a full investi ga ti on, it was foun d from t h e u tt e rance of his i ncendiary la nguage that Cruz ' s e d uca ti on was not yet perfect in Southern classics, and his Honour therefore directed that he b e sent for six months to the Humane Institution for the Amelioration of the Condition of Northern Barbarians and Abolition Fanatics, presided over by professor Henry Mitchell, keeper of the workhouse, who will put him through a course of study on Southern ethics and institutions. " The testimony before him on Saturday, however, in the case of a man named David O'Keefe was such as to induce him to commit the accused for trial before the Criminal Court. One of the witnesses testified positively that she heard him make his children shout for liincola ; another, " SOUTHERN DEBTS TO THE NORTH. "The Cincinnati Gazette copies the following paragraph from the New York Evening Post : "'Bad Faith.—The bad faith of the Southern merchants in their transactions with their Northern correspondents is becoming more evident daily. We have heard of several recent cases where parties in this city, retired from active business, have nevertheless stepped forward to protect the credit of their Southern friends. They are now coolly in formed that they cannot be reimbursed for these advances until the war is over. We know of a retired merchant who in this way has lost 100,000 dollars.' —and adds : " 'The same here. Men who have done most for the South are the chief sufferers. Debts are coolly repudiated by Southern merchants, who have heretofore enjoyed a first-class reputation. Men who have grown rich upon the trade furnished by the West are among the first to pocket the money of their correspondents, asking, with all the im pudence and assurance of a highwayman, "What are you going to do about it ?" There is honour among thieves, it is said, but there is not a spark of honour among those re pudiating merchants. People who have aided and trusted them to the last moment are the greatest losers. There is a future, however. This war will be over, and the Southern merchants will desire a resumption of their connexions with the West. As the repudiators—such as Goodrich and Co., of New Orleans—will be spurned, there will be a grand opening for honest men. " ' There are many honourable exceptions in the South, but dishonesty is the rule. The latter is but the develop ment of latent rascality. The rebellion has afforded a pre text merely for the swindling operations. The parties pre viously acted honestly, only because that was the best policy. The sifting process that may now be conducted will be of advantage to Northern merchants in the future. The pre sent losses will be fully made up by subsequent gains.' " There is some little soreness felt here about the use of the word " repudiation," and it will do the hearts of some people good, and will carry comfort to the ghost of the Rev. Sydney Smith, if it can hear the tidings, to know I have been assured, over and over again, by eminent mercantile people and statesmen, that there is " a general desire ' on the part of the repudiating States to pay their bonds, and that no doubt, at some future period, not very clearly ascertainable or plainly indicated, that gene ral desire will cause some active steps to be taken to satisfy its intensity, or a character very unex pected, and very gratifying to those interested. The tariff of the Southern Confederation has just been promulgated, and I send herewith a copy of the rates. Simultaneously, however, with this docu ment, the United States steam frigates Brooklyn and Niagara have made their appearance off the Pass a l'Outre, and the Mississippi is closed, and with it the port of New Orleans. The steamtugs refuse to tow out vessels for fear of capture, and British ships are in jeopardy. MAY 25. A visit to the camp at Tangipao, about 50 miles from New Orleans, gave an occasion for obtaining a clearer view 'of the internal military condition of those forces of which one reads so much and sees so little than any other way. Major-General Lewis, of the State Militia, and staff, and General Labuzan, a Creole officer, attended by Major Rannep, president of the New Orleans, Jackson, and Great Northern Railway, and by many officers in uniform, started with that purpose at 4.30 this evening in a railway carriage carefully . and comfortably fitted for their reception. The militia of Louisiana has not been called out for many years, and its officers have no military experience and the men have no drill or discipline. Emerging from the swampy suburbs, we soon pass between white clover pastures, which we are told invariably salivate the herds of small but plump cattle browsing upon them. Soon cornfields, "in tassel," alternate with long narrow rows of growing sugar-cane, which, though pcarcely a fourth of the height of the maize, will soon overshadow it s and the cane-stalks grow up so densely together that nothing larger than a rattlesnake can pass between them. MAT 26. In the evening, as I was sitting in the house of a • gentleman in the city, it was related as a topic of conversation that a very respectable citizen, named Bibb, had had a difficulty with three gentlemen, who insisted on his reading out the news for them from his paper as he went to market in the early morn ing. Mr. Bibb had a revolver " casually" in his pocket, and he shot one citizen dead on the spot, and wounded the other two severely, if not mortally. " Great sympathy," I am told, " is felt for Mr. Bibb." There has been a skirmish somewhere on the Potomac, but Bibb has done more business " on his own hook" than any of the belligerents up to this date ; and, though I can scarcely say I sympa thise with him, far be it from me to say that I do not respect him. One curious result of the Civil War in its effects on the South will, probably, extend itself as the conflict continues—l mean the refusal of employers to pay their workmen, on the ground of inability. The natural consequence is much distress and misery. The English Consul is harassed by applications for assistance from me chanics and skilled labourers who are in a state bordering on destitution and starvation. They de sire nothing better than to leave the country and return to their homes. All business, except tailor ing for soldiering and cognate labours, are sus pended. Money is not to be had. Bills on New York are worth little more than the paper, and the exchange against London is enormous-18per cent. discount from the par value of the gold in bank, good draughts on England having been negotiated yesterday at 92 per cent. One house has been com pelled to accept 4 per cent. on a draught on the North where the rate was usually from I per cent. to per cent. As I sat in a well-furnished club room last night listening to a most respectable, well-educated, intelligent gentleman, descanting on the practices of "the Thugs" an organised band who coolly and deliberately committed murder for the purpose of intimidating Irish and German voters, and were only put down by a Vigilance Committee, of which he was a member—l had almost to pinch myself to see that I was not the victim of a horrid nightmare. MONDAY, MAY 27. The Washington artillery went off to-day to the wars—quo fas et gloria dueunt ; but I saw a good many of them in the streets after the body had de parted—spirits who were disembodied. Their uni form is very becoming, not unlike that of our own foot artillery, and they have one battery of guns in good order. I looked in vain for any account of Mr. Bibb's little affair yesterday in the papers. Perhaps, as he is so very respectable, there will not be any reference to it at all. Indeed, in some con versation on the subject last night it was admitted that when men were very rich they might find judges and jurymen as tender as Danae and police men as permeable as the walls of her dungeon. The whole question now is, " what will be done with . the blockade ?" The Confederate authorities are acting with a high hand. An American vessel, the Ariel, which had cleared out of port with British subjects on board, has been overtaken, captured, and her cre w have been put in prison. The ground is that she is owned in main by Black Republicans. The British subjects -Ave received protection from the consul. Prizes have been made within a league of shore, and in one instance, when the captain protested, his ship was taken out to sea, and was then recaptured formally. I went round to several merchants to-day ; they were all gloomy and fierce. In fact, the blockade of Mobile is an nounced, and that of New Orleans has commenced, and men-of-war have been reported off the Pa it s-a l'outre. The South is beginning to f eel that is being bottled up all fermenting, and frothing, and is somewhat surprised and angry at the natural results of its own acts, or, at least, of the proceed ings which have brought about a state of war. Mr. Slidell did not seem to be at all contented with the i telegrams from the North, and confessed that " f they had been received by way of Montgomery he should be alarmed." The names of persons liable , for military service have been taken down in several districts, and British subjects have been included. Several applications have been made to Mr. Mure, the consul, to interfere in behalf of men who, having enlisted, are now under orders to march, and who must leave their families destitute if thby go away; but he has, of course, no power to exercise any in fluence in such cases. The English journals to the 4th of May have arrived here to-day. Xis curious to see how quaint in their absurdity the telegrams become when they have reached the age of three weeks. lam in the hapless position of knowing, without being able to remedy the evils from this source, for there is no means of sending through to New York political information of any sort by tele graph. The electric fluid may be the means of blasting and blighting many reputations, as there can be no doubt the revelations which the Govern ment at Washington will be able to obtain through the files of the despatches it has seized at the vari ous offices will compromise some whose views have recently undergone remarkable changes. It is a hint which may not be lost on Governments in Europe when it is desirable to know friends and foes hereafter, and despotic rulers will not be slow to take a hint from " the land of liberty." Orders have been issued by the Governor to the tow-boats to take out the English vessels by the south-west passage, and it is probable they will all get through without any interruption on the part of the blockading force. It may be imagined that the owners and consignees of cargoes from England, China, and India, which are on their way here, are not at all easy in their minds. Two of the Wash ington Artillery died in the train on their way to that undefinable region called " the seat of war." MAY 28. The Southern States have already received the assistance of several thousands of savages, or red men, and " the warriors" are actually engaged in pursuing the United States' troops in Texas in con junction with the State Volunteers. A few days ago a deputation of the chiefs of the Five Nations, Creeks, Choctaws, Seminoles, Comanches, and others passed through Now Orleans on their way to Montgomery, where they hoped to enter into terms with the Government for the transfer of their pension list and other responsibilities from Wash-. ington, and to make such arrangements for their property and their rights as would justify them in committing their fortunes to the issue of war. These tribes can turn out 20,000 warriors, scalping knives, tomahawks, and all. The chiefs and prin cipal men are all slaveholders; MAY 29. A new " affair" occurred this afternoon. The servants of the house in which I am staying were alarmed by violent screams in a house in the ad joining street, and by the dischatge of firearms—an occurrence which, like the cry of " murder" in the streets of Havannah, clears the streets of all way farers if they be wise, and do not wish to stop stray bullets. The cause is thus stated in the journals : SAD FAMILY AFFRAY.—Last evening, at the residence of Mr. A. P. Withers, in Nayades-street, near Thalia, Mr. Withers shot and dangerously wounded his stepson, Mr. A. F. W. Mather. As the police tell it the nature of the affair was this :—The two men were in the parlour, and talking about the Washington Artillery, which left on Monday for Virginia. Mather denounced the artillerists in strong lan guage, and his stepfather denied what he said. Violent language followed, and (as Withers says) Mather drew a pistol and shot at him once, not hitting him. He snatched up a Sharp's revolver that was lying near and fired four times at his stepson. The latter fell at the third fire, and as he was falling Withers fired a fourth time, the bullet wounding the hand of Mrs. Withers, wife of one and mother of the other, she having rushed in to interfere, and she be ing the only witness of the affair. Withers immediately went out into the street and voluntarily surrendered him self to officer Casson, the first officer he met. He was locked up. Three of his shots hit Mather, twe of them in the breast. Last night Mather was not expected to live. Another difficulty is connected with the free coloured people who may be found in prize ships. Read and judge of the eonclusion:— What shall be dose with them ?—On the 28th inst., Capt. G. W. Gregor, of the privateer Calhoun, brought to tho station of this district about ten negro sailors, claiming to be free, found on board of the brigs Panama, John Adams, and Mermaid. The Recorder sent word to the Marshal of the Confederate States that said negroes were at his disposition. The Mar shal refused to receive them or have anything to do with them, whereupon the Recorder gave the following deci sion : " Though I have no authority to act in this case, I think it is my duty as a magistrate and good citizen to take upon myself, in this critical moment, the responsibility of keeping the prisoners in custody, firmly believing it would not only be bad policy, but a dangerous one, to let them loose upon the community." The following despatch was sent by the Recorder to the Hon. J. P. Benjamin : " New Orleans, May 29. " To J. P. Benjamin, Richmond. " Sir,—Ten free negroes, taken by a privateer from on board three vessels returning to Boston, from a whaling voyage, have been delivered to me. The Marshal refuses to take charge of them. What shall Ido with them? "Respectfully, " A. BLACHE. " Recorder Second District." FIGHT FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP. It is, perhaps, no information even for those lease acquainted with the dirty arcana of the prize ring to be told that the champion's belt, for the posses sion of which Heenan and Sayers struggled with such cruel obstinacy, was eventually awarded to neither. The trophy was left open to public com petition, though as the belt happens to be one of those peculiar gifts of fortune which are not to be had for the asking, and as its possession entails some personal responsibility, in the way of having to fight all comers, no matter how many or how big, the number of candidates for the dangerous honour t and de Paddock.cidedlyli Hurst is h limited. The fi t rs e t wereHhoulre o s f Lancashire, a man of gigantic f r ame and almost superhuman strength, but per haps the most unskilful boxer that ever entered the prize ring. In his contest with Paddock he was claimantsewh aascha m pio n 'p o i n o n the wrestler w dreadfully punished, but almost by accident con trived at the close of the fight to hit his adversary one blow, and one blow from such a Goliah was quite suf ficient, for Paddock was all but killed by it. Hurst therefore came into full possession of the turbulent honours of the belt, to which a boxer named Mace at once laid claim. Mace is a very small man, though possessed of wonderful strength and activity, almost a harder hitter than Sayers himself, and reputed to be the most scientific pugi list alive. Yet, even with these advantages, it seemed almost monstrous to suppose that he could contend for an instant with any chance of success against an adversary so overpowering in strength, and size, and weight as Hurst. Nevertheless, a match was made for the championship, and yester day it was fought to an issue on an island in the Medway, and resulted in Mace punishing his gigantic antagonist so fearfully that he may liter ally be said to have almost killed him without re ceiving a single blow in return. The contrast between the two men as they entered the ring was even more startlinglydisproportiofiate than that be tween Heenan and Sayers. Hurst stood nearly six 1 feet three inches in height, and weighed 16 stone, while his gigantic swarthy chest and limbs, in which 1 the muscles stood out in great folds and knots like bosses of bronze, made his figure look even larger and more formidable, if possible, than it was 1 1 _1 reality. In looking at his massive proportions , a nd the evidences of tremendous strength as the thews and sinews crept and rolled with every , movement, one felt a kind of fascinating terror, which combat. man who had dared such a Colossus ave seemed a Among ordinary men Mace would have but, dwarfed dlietstpleersahtoartthaonf it was terrible antagonist for any to _ cope .1 2 giant he had chal lenged, almost overshadowed by to almost sickening apprehension for the to fate a, c hang ed of the les d s madness.

Hurst to his other advantages adde dthat of winning the choice of corners, and of course took that with his back to the sun, leaving its fierce rays full in the face of his antagonist. When at last, after shaking hands, the men stood al in h v is ent v u e along the centre of the ring, it seemed almost like conniving a t a mur der to permit a contest between two men so din- Z•i':--7Z I: , ' ' ,__•_Ve '' ica 4-- N..... ..' • '''' - . Jr.' , _ ~.,‘ proportioned in size, height, strength, and sveignt - kT a s-- Yet Mace, as he stood up almcst in the shadow of" - great assailant, seemed confident, though of course very cautious. Lightly Mace moved in and out, feinting and smiling, as with a noiseless bound like a cat he sprang just out of distance of the pon derous arms that seemed only requ'red to move to crush him. Gradually they drew nearer and nearer, the giant waiting for his chance, which the other now aud then appeared to give him, though in reality he ventured nothing. At last Mace carefully ventured .n. and struck his opponent slightly three or four times in the face. They were only light blows, but enough to show him that he could reach the slow unwieldy boxer when he chose, and get out of all danger of return with perfect certainty. Apparently satisfied with this knowledge Mace began the fight with a terrific blowy which completely closed Hurst's eye, and seemed to make his bulky frame tremble to his very feet. Before the first round, which lasted nearly 12 minutes, was over, Hurst was half-smothered in his own blood, and his face so gashed that, as far as appearances went, Mace might have been assault ing him with a razor. Still, as it was known that Hurst had but to give one blow to win the day, no one seemed inclined to back Mace, who might at any moment get a stroke that would annihilate him. Yet the tremendous blow that seemed always impending never came. Hurst knew evidently nothing of boxing, and his antagonist therefore merely drew aside with the most perfect sang froid from the slow, awkward, movements of the ponder- ' ous arms, delivering his own strokes full on the head and face of the giant with a force and rapidity that was terrible. In vain, like a blind Cyclops, Hurst threw his arm abroad, and strove to grasp, to strike, even to touch his lithe wiry foe--in va i n he strove to hem him into a corner. Mace would simply inflict his tremendous blows full on th e smashed face of his opponent, pass under his arm, and be gone, almost before the eye could follow his movements. Hurst was literally deluged with blood which poured over his huge figure in such streams that Mace 1-, imsr , I , -as covered with it, and the clothes of I „.Lst's two seconds almost saturated. Nothing showed the enormous strength of the man more than that he could sustain this fearful punish ment and loss of blood with apparently little dimi- . nution of his colossal power. He stillpursued Mace with unabated determination, but never once even touched him, while, on the other hand, Mace's , blows sounded loud all over the ring, till from a sharp crashing smash they gradually deadened down to a splashing sound like striking raw meat, that was sickening to hear. Nothing stopped the copious streams of blood that flowed from all parts of Hurst'a face, and the whole of this one-sided con test became disgusting and horrible beyond all description. After there had been ten rounds, and the fight had lasted some three-quarters of an hour, Hurst's seconds and backers saw that his chance was hopeless, and urgently strove to make him discontinue. But though now utterly blind, his features smashed out of all recognition almost as a human being, and reeling from his fearful loss of blood, the gory disfigured giant still tottered from his corner, only to be sent staggering back by an antagonist that he seemed capable of annihilating. Mace now no longer fought cautiously, but hit when and where he pleased, and even closed with the great wrestler and threw him heavily. It was all over. Hercules himself would have succumbed to such fearful blows, and the alarming haemorrhage which followed them, and which ne w began to soak all the grass of the ring. Brettle, Hurst's chief backer, at last rushed into the arena, and insisted on his fighting no more, but the maimed giant seemed incapable of understanding his defeat from such a little man, and groped and staggered out again. Blind and fainting it only required one or two more blows to finish the affair; but the inflic tion of those on the helpless heap of flesh was hor rible - and sickening beyond all description. His seconds and backers gave in for him without his knowledge, and kept Hurst in his corner till he gradually became almost insensible, and all the re storative arts of the ring were exhausted in efforts to keep him from fainting, which, in the absence of a surgeon, and in his then fast failing power, might have been a most serious affair. The spectacle which he presented is too horrible for description. Even the oldest championS of the ring were aghast at the fearful punishment inflicted in 50 minutes. Mace had not a single mark on him. The dockyard police were despatched in a steamer from Chatham to pre vent the fight, and arrived just as it was over—quite official that. It is a kind of set off to this revolting business to say that poor Hurst's comrades on both sides were most solicitous in their care of him after his defeat, and Mace went about among them, and raised a subscription for him am oun ti ng t o £35. Such facts, though undoubtedly praiseworthy, but poorly counterbalance the horrible nature of the whole contest. Yet pugilists think that in a few years the Ring will again glow with all the brutal magnifi cence of the days of the Regency. Revive the Ring ! It would be easier to restore the Heptarchy. CAPTURE OF BALTIMORE BY GEN. BUZ LER. The future course of the campaign is naturally kept as secret as possible; but I have heard it statedby a gentleman who has the very best means of obtaining information that Harper's Ferry is positively to be attacked this week, and that General Butler has received orders to take Norfolk at the same time. He is not the man to delay one mo ment after he receives his orders; his fault being rather an excess of rashness than the reverse—at least so think the regular officers. If he is the extremely able commander that he is stated to be, he is certainly a heaven-born general, as till a few weeks since he was a lawyer, and a very success ful one, and was made *a U.S. major -general by the Cabinet after his successful seizure of Baltimore. I have not seen any account of the way he took it in print ; so I daresay it may interest your readers to know what turned him from a militia brigadier into a U.S. 'major-general. He com manded the Annapolis district, and was with 1,200 men at the Relay-house. Baltimore was then en tirely in the hands of the State Government, and was in imminent danger of secession. It :is within 20 miles of Annapolis, and consequently within the limits of that command. Butler accordingly writes to the War Department, asking if he is in error in supposing Baltimore to be within his com mand. The answer, I understand, was that it cer tainly was; and certain persons were named to him as being dangerous characters, whom it would be well to look after in the event of Baltimore being occupied by the United States troops. An elaborate plan was in preparation here ; three columns were to march on Baltimore—a sea force was to co - operate—everything was arranged to insure success. In the meantime Brigadier Butler collects his 1,200 men, gets together a number of railway cars:at the Relay-home, and announces his immediate departure for Harper's Ferry. His men get on to cars, the engine's head is turned to Harper's Ferry ; the train starts, and all the Bal timore people who have been hanging about to watch the troops go off to Baltimore with the news. Two miles beyond the station he stops the train, has the engine shunted round, and in an hour is encamped in undisputed possession of Baltimore.
