This company is formed for the purpose of affording more convenient accommhdafion for the Shipping and com merce of the colony , of South Anstralla.under the foliioWing oircnmstancea i._. The colony of South Australia, with its mineral and a'ricultur al products, is admittedly rich in all things which can tend to create an extensive and prosperous trade with Other countries, and nothing retards its elevation to the highest point of commercial prosperity so much as the want of convenient and sufficient accommodation for the shipping tenoning thereto. • „111. That portion of the Port of Adelaide to which the S hipping at present resorts is abontseven miles irom the city Of thatname, and situated at the extremity of an arm of the Sea, which after lea v i ng th e point known as the North Arm becomes a narrow and tortuous channel, two miles and three quarters in length, difficult to navigate without , gr ounding , and except at flood tide and with a favourable wind inacces sible to vessels without thexpense of a steam-tug ; this ter alitates in shoal w a t er , where vessels are crowded together, for the most part aground, subject to all the risks of broken ribs, broken backs, and conflae - ration---nor can these disad vantages and risks be remedied at the present shipping place, as the water is shoaling up every - year, and with all the pre sent heavy and constant expense ineerred in dredging can not be sufficiently deepened for vessels to lie afloat. (Se Appendix.) V. The serious and important nature of this question has frequently engaged the attention of the Colonial Government and Parliament, and it may be safely affirmed that the effect of the testimony of successi, e Governors and other authori ties, colonists and shipping masters resorting to the port has down to the present day been condemnatory of the present shipping place and in favour of the North Arm, as affording the requisite facilities for accommodating a large amount of shipping of any class, and of becoming , as originally in tended, and still desired, the permanent . ' port for Adelaide. (See Appendix.) V. At the North Arm is a magnificent sheet of deep Water land-locked, forming a natural basin of great extent, With smooth water and of easy navigation for vessels of the largest- burden ;and the site selected by the Company, unlike the adjacent land, is elevated above the highest flood, has deep water in immediate proximity to the shore, and an abundant supply of fresh water, with a frontage to the harbour of over 3,000 feet in length for wharf purposes, and of over 1,500 laterally, immediately abutting on the site re served for Government Graving Docks. VI. An advantageous arrangement has been made with the proprietors of the land required for the purposes of the Company, by which nearly two-thirds of the purchase ney will be taken in eferred shares, to remain in the hinds of the directors. on terms seeming to the shareholders a priority of dividend to the extent of 5 per cent. , till the profits yield sufficient t o pay that amount of dividend on the aggregate of the paid-up capital and deferred shares. The remaining one third is to be paid in cash, at pe , iods favour able to the shareholders. The property secured is about 700 acres (extending from the river across Lefevre's peninsula, about one mile in breadth to the Gulf Anchorage), to be con nected with the western bank by means of a steam floating bridge, and the Company has also arranged to purchase on favourable terms additional land on the western bank oppo site the site already secured, with a view to bringing both sides of the harbour within the sphere of the Company's Aerations. VII. It is intended to construct upwards of 2,000 feet of Wharf frontage at once, where vessels of the largest tonnage tray lay alongside, and to erect wharves, warehouses, and Other conveniences, affording ample accommodation to t he shipping resorting to the port. Also an extension of two pules of railway to complete the line already laid down by the Government, from the city of Adelaide to the North Arm, and a short line of four-and-a-half miles to the Dry-Creek Station, on the Great North and Murray River Railway, thereby effecting a saving of 12 miles of carriage between the great producing districts and the port of the colony. VIII. As proving the opening afforded for additional ship accommodation by the increasing prosperity of the colony, the commercial returns show that the exports and imports for the year 1850 amounted to £1,416,389, that of 1860 to £3,423,107, and that of 1861 to £4,063,155, the wharf dues upon which amount to upwards of £30,000 per annum. The frontage of the proposed wharves, extending for upwards of half a mile, where vessels drawing upwards of 20 feet of water can come alongside at low water, offers such superior advantages as must obviously secure a large propor tion of this • business, and thus a very large return to the shareholders, as b y colonial law the wharf goods landed for all landed are levied accord ing to regulated tariff. Other impor tant sources of revenue are supp th b e edebstnite yithaers. theental aggregate rental warehouses include d in tentai of which cannot be Year ; also by the railways, es l t a i n ni d a , ted and at ot l h e er s r t e n n an tall l , 2 rhich a Will accrue from the large population whi ch the operations of the company will atract to their prop rting . X. The cost of the undertaki n g , w the land, the construction of incelsu,draily wtahyecommunica tion, and the ejection of warehous e s and other accommoda tion above-mentioned, has been care fully revised, and esti mated by the late Captain Moorsom,C.E.. is also estimated , at a sum within the first issue of the company's capita l It that the whole of this amount will not be required years. Responsible contractors are prepared will only works within the es ti ma t . A n y further capi tal to exectuotrettwhe be raised as the increase of business and the advantage of the company requires. XI. The proprietors of the land will place in the possessio n _ of the director s s• curities to pay 5 percent. per annum on the paid-up capital until the works are so far completed as to en able the directors to commence the business of the Company. XII. The di rectors desire to draw attention to' the impor tant advantages off ered by t he . pres ent undertaking, and con fidently refer to the map and t h e o fficial docum ents set forth In the appendix, whi c h embraces the of the Company's property, as establishi ng the necessity for, and the highly remunerative character of, th e proposed works.

"At five o'clock in the afternoon an officer brought a letter from General Ortega to General Forcy, announcing that ho was reads' to surrender unconditionally with his troops. Colonel Manique, the officer in command of General Forey's staff, was then detached, with the Ist battalion of Foot ChasseurF, Commander Corey, and a platoon o Hussars, for the purpose of occupying the place. The entrance of the troops took place in an orderly manner, and without any casual4y on either side. " At 11 o'clock on the morning of the 19th Gen. Forey made his entrance into Pueblo, and was sa luted B a zvolley nof 101 guns. On the same day General had made his preparations for an e advance on the city of Mexico, and was to start on the following morning. " During the nights of the 7th and Bth May Gen. Comonfort, who had abandoned his position in order to march to the assistance of Gen. Ortega, was sur prised by General.Bazaine at 2 a.m. A brisk en gagement ensued, in which Comonfort lost 8 rifled guns, 20 artillery waggons, 200 mules, and 2,500 men, most of whom were made prisoners." The following is translated from the Diarie de la Marina of Havana of May 26 -- " On the Bth inst. General Comonfort, who bad received reinforcements, attempted to attack the French in the rear, and was confronted by Gen. Bazaine's division, which, as we have been in formed, completely routed their opponents. The battle took place at San Lorenzo. Gen. Comonfort 105t . 2,500 men in killed, wounded, and prisoners, seven or eight pieces of rifled cannon, and the greater part of his arms and munitions. It seems that the principal object of Comontort's attack was to cover the entrance into Puebla of a large convoy of provisions and ammunition. " General ,Forey had received a portion of the heavy artillery which he had been expecting, and on the 16th he had a battery mounted in front of the fort of Totimehuacan, one of the strongest in Puebla. His artillery was brought into play this day, and by the 17th a breach was effected. General Forey then ordered an assault ; but all resistance soon ceased, and the French army having entered into the city, General Ortega surrendered uncondi tionally with all his forces. " Besides the general-in-chief, 23 generals, 900 officers, and 17,000 soldiers were also made prisoners. The whole of the artillery of the city also fell into the hands of the French, and all the ammunition, arms, &c. " On the 20th a division of the French army marched for Mexico. There would be left in Puebla only the garrison necessary to prevent the raids of guerillas, and the whole of the other forces would also march for the capital." e • IRELAND. DUBLIN, Juno 13. It has often been a matter of regret that Dublin, notwithstanding its rank as the second city in the United Kingdom, with its increasing population and wealth, has not contained any institution in which the citizens might meet for the enjoyment of rational amusement blended with instruction. It has no gardens or place of public assembly, no central point of attraction and interest to all classes, where they could meet, attend concerts, hear lectures, &c. The only buildings available for such purposes are the Rotunda, which is inconve niently situated—far at the north side of the city, from which the tide of fashion has long receded ; and the Metropolitan-hail, a smaller building, let by a company, chiefly for religious objects, and used on Sunday as a place of religious worship. Tease buildings, being private property, are let at a high rate, and they are wholly inadequate to meet the wants of the city, even if their situation were more central. But at the south side of the Liffey, in which direction the city is rapidly increasing, and where the enterprising and progressive portion of the commu nity are, for the .most part, located, there is no large hall or place of meeting whatever avail able for the public. The exhibitions of various kinds in the house of the Royal Dublin Society, the con certs of musical societies, and the reunions of dif ferent bodies, which have been rather frequent of late, have created a very widely-felt want for such an institution as a permanent exhibition building and a winter garden. To supply this want a com pany was recently formed, and a piece of ground, south of Stephen's-green, called the Coburg-gardens, and the Hutchinson estate, which became the property of Mr. Benjamin Lee Guinness, has been purchased, walled in, and partly laid out for a win ter garden. Yesterday the Lord-Lieutenant, in the presence of many of the chief men of the city, and a large concourse of spectators, laid the first stone of the buildings. They will comprise a winter garden, where horticultural exhibitions and prome nades may be held, a concert-hall suitable for the production of the works of the great masters with an effect hitherto unattainable in this city, a smaller concert-hall adapted for the musical so cieties of Dublin, a gallery for the exhibition and sale of pictures, a department for the dis play of manufactures and useful arts, a polytech nic museum and theatre for lectures on popular subjects, the whole to be placed in the midst of ornamental pleasure grounds, in which the skill of the landscape gardener will be displayed. The com pany has been founded on sound commercial prin ciples, and the address to the Lord-Lieutenant, read by Mr. Parkinson, the secretary, stated that the capital had been subscribed in a short time by up wards of 600 shareholders, including, among per sons of every rank, the Duke of Leinster, who fills the office of chairman, Mr. Guinness, vice-chairman, who gave the greater portion of the land on the most advantageous terms, and Mr. Dargan, whose mas ter mind is the mainspring of progress in Dublin and its vicinity. The address concluded by stating that it was a subject of much congratulation that the building was to be commenced by a nobleman who has always given a helping hand to institu tions calculated to advance the social condition of the people of Ireland, and has in this instance given a marked proof of interest by becoming a share holder in the company.

I THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 15, 1863, AMERICA. ---~~ LIVERPOOL, Sure 13. The royal mail steaTnship China has arrived with advices from New York to the 31 inst., mid 25,000 do)lan in specie. Tile correspondent of the New York Herald at ached to General Grant's army writes, from near Vicksburg on the 22d of AlAy as fdllows:— " This is the fourth day the army at Gcn. Grant has lain around the intreochments of Vicksburg. Within that time there have been daily battles and continual canuoulde. At least 2,000 of our soldiers havebeen placed hors de COilbat, killedand wounded. in the several charges ordered against the earth- works. It was rumoured yesterday that this morn- ing General Grant would order a charge simultane ously along, the entire line of works. Late in the evening the commanders of the different corps, divi :ions, and brigades received their orders and pre pared to execute them. The order contemplated a tierce cannonade from daylight until 10 o'clock, but for some unexplained reason it was not opened until after 8. During the night, however, the gunboats and mortars lying in front of Vicksburg kept up a continual fire, and dropped their fiery messengers right and left without distinction. Daring this bombardment several buildings were set on fire by exploding shells and lighted up the darkness, re• vealing strange shapes and wonderful outlines standing out in relief against the dark sky, which added wonderful interest to the bombardment, as witnessed by the distant observer. It is impossible to estimate the damage occasioned by thus dropping into Vicksburg those heavy 11 and 13-inch shells. Imagination falls far short of its reality. Before we approached the city the general commanding ordered all the women and children for miles around Vicks burg to came within the intrenchments assuring them that in that way they would escape all danger. The consequence is that there arc a large number of non combatants in Vicksburg exposed to all the dangers of siege and bombardment. At eight o'clock this morning, according to the programme, the cannon ading began, and continued with scarcely a moment's intermission along the entire line until 10 o'clock. On every hill-top in front of the enemy's works can nons were placed, and the fiery tempest raged fear fully. Guns were dismounted, embrasures torn out, parapets destroyed, and caissons exploded. It was a fearful demonstration. The enemy were power less to reply, for our line of skirmishers were pushed up close to the enemy's works, and un erringly picked off the gunners whenever they attempted to work the guns. For two long hours did this cannonade continue, when, on the left, in Smith's, Carr's, and Osterhau's divisions, a charge was made. Winding through the valleys, clamber ing over the hills, everywhere subjected to a mur derous enfilading and cross fire, they pressed up close to the rebel works to find that a deep ditch, protected by sharp stakes along the outer edge, lay between them and the intrenehments. They planted their flag directly before the fort, and crouched down behind the embankment, out of range of the rebel fire, as calmly as possibly, to await develop ments. The soldiers within the fortress could not rise above the parapet to fire at them, for if they did a hundred bullets came whizzing through the air and the adventurers died. They adopted.another plan. Taking the shell, they cut the fuse close off, lighted it, and rolled it over the outer slope of the embankment. Subsequently, with picks and shovels a way was dug into one fort, and through the breach the boys walked bravely in. The first fort on the left of the railroad was stormed by a portion of General Carr's division, and gallantly taken. Colonel Stone, of the 22d lows, led the charge, and was wounded. On the centre the fire was persistent and terrible. Many brave officers were killed and many wounded. Colonel Dollins, of t 1 e 81st Illi nois, fell dead While leading his men to the charge. Later in the afternoon General Ransom's brigade charged the works opposite his position with heavy loss. Lieutenant Colonel Wright, of the 72d Illinois, was wounded, Colonel Nevins, of the 11th Illinois, and Colonel Humphrey, of the 95th were killed. Steele and Tuttle on the right, were heavily engaged, and the former is reported to have lost nearly 1,000 men." " Headquarters, in the Field, near Vicksburg, May 23. " But little has been efftcted in the last 36 hours. Over 100 pieces of field artillery and several siege guns rained shot and shell on the enemy's works yesterday. The mortar fleet also took position be hind the Soto Point and bombarded the city the Entire day. On the right Gen. Sherman has pushed Gen. Steele's division squarely to the foot of the parapets. Our men lay in a ditch and on the slope of the parapet inside one of the principal forts, un able to take it by storm, but determined not to re tire. The Union and rebel soldiers are not 25 feet apart, both powerless to inflict much harm. Each watch the other, and dozens of muskets are fired as soon as a soldier exposes himself above the works on either side. Nearly the same condition of things exist in Gen. M‘Pherson's front. His sharpshooters prevent the working of the enemy's pieces in one or two forts. A charge was made yesterday morn ing on one of them by Gen. Stephenson's brigade, and repulsed. Two companies of one regiment got inside. A few got out again, but most of them were captured. The forts are all filled with infantry. Our artillery has dismounted a few guns and da maged the works in some places, but they are still strong. Gen. M‘Clernand was hard pressed on the left yesterday, and sent for reinforcements, Gen. Quimby's division went to his assistance at 4 o'clock. The contest continued till 7. One of our flags was planted at the foot of the earthworks on the outside of one rebel fort, and kept there several hours, but the fort waa not taken. Gen. M'Clernand's loss is estimated at 1,000 killed and wounded yesterday. The fighting grows more desperate each day. Tran sports now bring supplies by water to within three miles of our right. Gen. Joe Johnstone is reported near the Big Black River in our rear, with rein• forcements for the besieged. Gen. Grant can de• tail men enough from operations here to keep John. stone in check." Tho following telegrams have been received a Washington : "Washington, May 3 " Unofficial = despatches were received here to day from the army of General Grant, dated on Vie 26th. They represent that there had been no mate rial change in affairs' since the 25th. On the even ing of that day General Pemberton asked for two and a half hours' truce to bury his dead, which was given. The following telegram was received at the Navy Department to-day:-- "'Flagship Black Hawk, Mississippi Squadron, near Vicksburg, Ms) , 25, via Cairo, May 30. " Sir s —l have the honour to inform you that the expedition under the command` of Lieutenant Com mander Walker, after taking possession of the forts at Haines Bluff, was perfectly successful. Three powerful steamers and a ram were destroyed at Yezoo city. The ram was a monster, 310 ft. longs 70ft. beam, to be covered with four-inch iron plates. Also, a fine navy yard, with machine shops of all kinds, saw-mills, blacksmiths' shop, &c., were burnt up. The property destroyed and oaptured amounted to over 2,000,000 dols. Had the monster ram been finished she would have given us some trouble. One battery was destroyed at Drury's Bluff.'' Our loss on the expedition was one killed and seven wounded, " DAVID 1).

But few if any batteries had been taken. Shells from General Sherman's siege guns come over into the city, as can be seen from the fleet. General Banks's forces had not arrived. Four thousand four hundred prisoners are expected hero to-night, and will be sent to Indianapolis." _ _ . " Washington June 1, Midnight. " Up to 11 o'clock to-night no addi!ional intelli gence had been received froth General Grant's army later than the previous derpatch of the 28th, when it wcs stated that General Grant's forces were progressing as favourably as could be expected, and General Grant bad no fear of the results." " Cincinnati, June 1. " Advices up to the 27th of May, through a staff officer of one of General Grant's generals, who left or Washington lest evening, have been received. Three assaults had been made by our forces upon the rebel stronghold, in all of which we were re pulsed. The last assault was made by Gen. Sher man with 20,000 men, in which we lost 600 killed and a large number wounded. Our outer line is within 100 yards of the rebel works. Our sharp shooters prevent the rebels from working their guns. The rebel works in the rear of the city are far more formidable than those in front. Gen. Joe Johnstone is in the neighbourhood of Jackson with about 15,000 men, short of provisions and ammunition. No ap prehensions are felt of any serious attack on our rear. The staff officer says that Geb. Grant has taken 8,400 priscners and 84 nieces of artillery. A despatch received here giveirTulr r iartiEutatiallfe operations of Gen. Grant's army up to the 22d of May. When our army advanced upon the city of Vizksburg it was confident of an easy conquest ; but the ground on the rear of the city was found so broken and rugged and wild as to be almost impas sable for artillery. The rebel fortifications were discovered to be very formidable, being grass grown, and showing that preparations had long since been made to stand a siege upon the land side. The main fortifications consist of a chain of forts, about 800 yards apart, connected by deep intrenchments, and extending for seven miles. Our loss in the assault on the 22d of May was about 2,000. It was the opinion that another general assault upon the rebel works would not be ordered, but that the city would be taken by regular siege approaches."

She managed to return to a point just above the upper battery, where she sank in 15ft. water. From 15 to 40 are reported killed, drowned, and wounded." A despatch from Mobile of the 28th says, — "General Grant sent in a flag of truce yesterday about the sick and wounded. The slaughter of the Federals was far greater in the Assault upon Vicks burg than in any battle during the war. General Pemberton is burning tar and using other disin- fecting agents to save our troops from the effects of the Union dead rotting in front of our works. Pem berton's quartermaster has succeeded in running 700 mules out of Vicksburg, thereby reducing the consumption of corn. The garrison has full rations for 90 days." On the Ist a mass meeting was held at Philadel phia to protest against the arrest of Mr. Vallandig ham. The following resolutions were adopted : Whereas the people of the United States have been in. suited, and the la ye of the land and the principles of human trampled on by the military arrest, trial, and exile of Clement L. Vallandigham, a citizen of Ohio, for words spoken at a public meeting, the seizure of whose person and the wheletmbsequent proceedings against whom, ending in his banishment, were not only inbiolation of the commonest rights of the humblest inhabitant of any free country, but in audacious and flagrant defiance of the Federal Constitu tion, which declares that the 'trial of all crimes, except in cases of impeachment, shall be tried by jury,' and which expressly forbids the making of any law ' abridging the freedom of speech,' which declares that ' the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects against unreasonable searcheis and seizures shall not be violated,' and that ' no . warrants shall issue but upon probable'cause, supported by oath or 'affirmation, and parti cularly descriliing the, place to be searched and the persons or things to be seized,' which declares that ' no person shall be held to answer for a capital or other infamous crime, un lesisOn a - presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or- in the militia, when in actual service, in time of war or public danger,' which declares that no citizen shall 'be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of and, finally, which declares that ' in all criminal prosecutions the accused shall enjoyffie-right to a speedy and public trial by an im- Partial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been commizted, which district shall have been previ- Ously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation, to be confronted with the wit nesses against him, to have compulsory process for obtain ing witnesses in his favour, an to have the assistance of Counsel for his ' defence.' And whereas if the words uttered by Mr. Yallandigham had been the most Offensive to which expressiOn could be given they Would form not the slightest pretext nor afford the least palliation for the monstrous crime which in his person has been cOrninitted. against the liberties of us all. And whereas in fact and according to the well-established, long-descended, and commendable habit in these United Sui tes of free discussion of political questions, what he uttered Was neither in itself unbecoming, nor was it an abuse of the freedom of speech, nor would the speaker in any Manner have been liable to punishment for it according to the severest code administered in the courts of justice. And whereas the measures of authority must be subject to the freest discussion, for discussion is nothing if not free ; and if men's mouths may be opened only to praise and flatter power, and are to be closed when power is offended, discus sion is but a name and liberty is a shadow. And; whereas this abuse of authority is justified under the plea of military necessity, which is no justification, for the plea would equally justify and indignify what could be offered us; and as it served to exile Mr. Va.Uandigham would serve to turn both houses of Congress out of doors, to imprison the judges, to suspend the legitimate performance of every regular function of the State, and resolee, all authority into the 'keeping of one man. And whereas if military necessity can invade the borders of Ohio, and there uproot the laws of a state Whose soil is pressed by the foot of no public enemy, whose people are true and faithful to the constitu tion, and whose justice was quietly and unobstructedly ad ministered till military power expelled it, this same neces sity may march on, and, coming into Pennsylvania and other States of the 'Union, reduced us to a vassalage in finatelymoreintolerablethan that against which we revolted when we declared our independence the 4th of July, 1776; therefore resolved, I.That the arrest and banishment of .Mr.Vallanc4h am is a violence to which the people of the United Statel will not and ought not to submit. , Is 2, What the remed y for it is is the Iliillot-V6X 'at the coming and now rapidly approaching election, when, by the votes of an outraged people, State authority will be restored to the hands of the Democratic party, who will use their power, thus quietly and constitutionally obtained, to pro tect State rights, to rebuke and check Federal usurpation, to secure the personal immunity of individuals, and com- mence the reconstruction of the Union. "3. That as it is, if not our firm belief, at least our strong suspicion, that the design of the authorities at Wash ington is, by military aggression, to provoke a popular out break, and thus to furnish to themselves an apology for further invasion of our liberties, and, if possible, to enable them to encumber us in the exercise of our elective fran- chise, we exhort our fellow-citizens everywhere to patience and to that forbearance and noble caheness which become a people who, kno Ring their rights, know also the means for their peaceful vindication. "4. That there being no such punishment known to the laws of the United States as that (.f exile, it is the sense of this meeting that it is the right of Mr. Vallandigham, and it will be the like right of any other citizen upon whom there should be attempted to be inflicted by like tyranny a like unlawful and infamous punishment, to return forthwith, notwithstanding his mock sentence, to the State of which he is a citizen, and there resume his place among those who are labouring for the regeneration of the constitution and the reconstruction of the Union. " 6. That in the letter of the Hon. Horatio Seymour, of New York, to the late public meeting of the Democratic citizens of Albany, condemning the proceedings of the Ad ministration against Mr. Vallandigham, we recognize the tone and language of a statesman, and the spirit of a man worthy to be, at a great crisis, the chief magistrate of a great State. "6. That it is only to the ballot-box we can look for per ma n a a n i e m n r o e s l s i i e b f l , e a n t h d a a t , s w w h e en deem called t to t o be cast s t t o g t h e t e h i e r r inc votes, r e i t b h l e e citizens of Pennsylvania, of whatever party, should not find themselves, by such monstrous events as have been passing before their eyes, moved in patriotic and just indignation, to drive from power all Pennsylvanian politicians who stand in the way of asserting the freedom of our persons and the rights of our State ; we will therefore wait with con fidence the October election to give to the Democratic party—the party of conservatism as well as freedom—a Go vernor and both houses of the Legislature ; and whom we expect to brii2g in by such overwhelming majorities as may be reasonably reckoned on when the question comes fairly up between liberty and the constitution on the one side, and on the other the most ignominious oppression." A letter from Baltimore gives the following ac count of the capabilities of the southern railways for the conveyance of troops: — "When the war broke out the Southern railroads were in perfect order, and their equipment in rolling stock was enormous in amount and of the best possible construction. With a few trifling and unimportant exceptions, none of this equipment has been lost or destroyed during the pro gress of the war. On the other hand, it has been consider ably increased. At Macon and Atlanta in Georgia, at Fayetteville in North Carolina, at Knoxville, and at one other point, there are extensive shops where both locomo tives and cars are built, and where they are taken for re- pairs. The railroad from Memphis to Chattanooga, run nix* along the north of Mississippi and Alabama, is very much broken up and damaged, except the 51 miles between Chattanooga and Bellefonte, which are in a perfect state. But the railroad from Tullahoma to Vicksburg, by the way of Stevenson, Chattanooga, Atlanta, Montgomery, Meri dian, and Jackson, a distance of 673 miles, is in perfect order and has abundance of rolling stock. The same may be said of the great Southern railroad from Gordonsville to Chattanooga, by the way of Lynchburg and,Knoxsville, a distance of 626 miles; and of the two railroads from Charleston to Vicksburg, one by the way of Atlanta and Opelika, and the other by the way of Savannah and Mont gomery. The distance by the latter route is 737 miles ; by the former 763 miles. These facts show that, although troops in large numbers have been sent from Charleston and hom Bragg's army at Tullahoma to reinforce Gene. ral Johnstone before Vicksburg, yet it must require some time for them to reach him. They show also that while it would probably be impracticable for any of General Lee's troops to be sent to take part in the operations before Vicksburg (the distance being 1,100 miles), it would be quite practicable for 20,000 of General Lee's troops to be sent to Tullahoma, only 600 miles, to aid General Bragg in holding Rosecrans in check, while Bragg sends 50,000 of his troops to aid General Johnstone. They will show, also, with the aid of a good map of the United States, that all the lines of railroad I have mentioned constitute interior lines of mill y operations, over which troops can be transported a great deal more rapidly than our troops can be sent either from Charleston to reinforce Banks, or from Washington to reinforce either Grant or Rosecrans. Besides which, the two railroads leading north from Nashville are pretty much broken up and destroyed. The Louisville and Nash. ville railroad particularly, 185 miles long, built on trestle work almost entirely, has heen demolished to an extent that renders it utterly useless." During a skit wish near Greenwich Virginia, on the 30th, Captain Haskins, formerly of the British army, was mortally wounded by a ball in the back, and, being in a dying condition, _was . paroled and taken off the field. Advices from Venezuela of 30th nit. report that the civil war had ended. THE CAPTURE OF PUEBLA. The New York Herald's correspondent at Havana gives the following particulars of the capture of Puebla : " The heavy artillery, which had all arrived and been placed iu position, opened fira on Puebla on the morning of the 16th. A breach having been opened in the fort of Totimehuacan, an assault was ordered for that night, and in the midst of thp. attack a Mexican officer, . one Colonel Mendoza, presented himself to General Forey with a message from General Ortega, to the effect that if he would cause the attack to be suspended, and permit the garrison to retire with their small arms and some field artillery, the town would be surrendered. This proposition was rejected by General Forey, and shortly afterwards a flag of truce was sent by Ortega announcing his unconditional surrender. " At 11 a.m., on the 17th, the French were in possession of the town, and continued to arrive during the 18th and 19th, on which last mentioned day General Forey took up his quarters in Puebla, making his entry amid a salute of 101 guns. Among the garrison which surrendered were the commander-in-chief, 23 generals, 900 officers of all grades, and from 15,000 to 17,000 men of all arms. "The French lost in the attack not more than between 50 and 60 in killed and wounded. On the 20th General Bazaine marched on Mexico, at the head of a division, and the whole army, was to follow, with the exception of a sufficient garrison in Puebla to keep the guerillas in check. " The above is in fact not only the substance but almost the language of the principal despatch. I omit the details of artillery and provisions captured, because the figures have escaped my memory ; but if I remember aright there were but eight rifled cannon among the many taken. " We have also an account of an attack made on the French by General Comonfort on the Bth inst., in which he was repulsed with a loss of 2,500 in killed and wounded and prisoners. The attack was made to cover a large convoy of provisions for Puebla. "I expect to hear of very little resistance at the capital of Mexico, for the garrison there is not made of the stuff that can be relied on to hold out long. Probably the next English mail will bring the news of its surrender." The New York herald of. the 3d says : " By the French war steamer Finisterre, Captain Cardin Esterie, which had arrived at New York from Vera Cruz, we have news direct to the 19th inst. Captain Esterie doubts the news of the cap ture of Puebla. The latest news from the seat of the fighting received at Vera Cruz was to the 10th of May, and the captain sailed on the 19th, when the french troops held one-half of the city, and the Mexicans the other. The part held by the latter was so strongly fortified, that he thought a long time would be required to take it. Accounts from other sources, however, confirm the report of tily and of the advance of Genera capture of Puebl a, llazaine on the city of M exi co. According to these confirmatory accounts, it appeals that on the 10th May, the French having established a parallel a t about 200 y ards from riotimehuacan, opened a brisk fire u p on that position, and dismounted all its guns. The Mexicans fought bravely, but the next day the parallel having been extended up to the foot of the fortress, the Mexicali ufficer, IVlendozi, presented himself at the camp, asking Gen. Forey to let the garrison leave with its arms, luggage, --t - however, that we have no need to resort to' rtrtiH:friC', E... 11 to fancy when we find our undertaking foste r , supported by the genial patronage of Loins e t..., flr, 4 ; t ik.

The Limerick Reporter of this day contains the following important additional information relative to the murder of Mr. Jackson. Among the papers destroyed were, no doubt, the securities for debts due by his murderers:— " It is said confidently that there could not have been less than £41,0 about the person of the deceased and in his house on the morning of the mut-flier. Of this sum not 1 one shilling was to be seen on the day the body was found. Seareh was made in the safe or strong box in -which Mr. Jackson kept his money, but there was no money in it. Search was made in the drawers and desks irr Which he was accustomed to keep his accounts, and there were no accounts to be found since 1861. For the years 1862 and i.. 863 there were no accounts whatever found. Search was 09, 1 for other matters connected with the business of the house and estate, but they were not forthcoming." The 1? epot ter observes : " It is a most extraordinary- and astounding fact that such is the state of the case. The murder was perpetrated o= Thursday morning. During the entire of that day the mur derer must have had time to complete his intention of mak ing a clean robbery of the victim of the bloody deed, and that this was done seems pretty clear. There must have been some robber in the house ; in the dark and dismal in terval he must have taken the money, and he must have disposed of the accounts. Mr. Jackson did not take any, with the exception of the money he had about him. Among the latest arrests is that of the cook, who is said to have ut tered some expressions which, if unexplained, would go to demonstrate that she had some idea that evil was about to befall her master.” The Northern Whig of this morning says that the Heroine, one of the steamers plying between that port and Bangor, has been sold to an agent of the Confederate Government. %/ Naval and Military Intelligence. - THE NAVY.

No orders have yet been received at Chatham as to the description of vessel intended to be built on the other vacant slip at the dockyard, but it' is probable that one of the squad ron of wooden ships of a new class which are to be built at:. that , establishment, as opportunities arise, will be shortly commenced under the vacant shed. The Esk, 20 gun screw corvette, Capt. Hamilton, made her official trial of speed at the measured mile in Stokes-bay on Friday, under the superintendence of Capt. H. Broadhead, of her Majesty's ship Asia, prior to leaving Spithead for foreign service. She drew 16ft. 4in. of water forward, and 18ft. 2in. aft; was complete in stores of all kinds for sea, and had 270 tons of coal on board. Six runs at the measured mile with full boiler power gave results consecutively as follows ;-10.315, 8.181, 10.746, 8, 10.975, and 7 875 knots; the mean speed of the six runs being 9 . 415 knots. The maximum revolutions of the engines were 70 and the minimum 68, with a 201 b. pressure of steam and 24 inches vacuum. With half-boiler power four runs were made at the mile, the speed of the ship in each case, being 9.218, 7.453, 8.683, and 6,977 knots, the mean speed of the ship during the four runs being 8.2 knots. To test the engines they were stopped in seven seconds from the time of moving the telegraph, were started ahead under the same conditions in 10 seconds, and were moved astern in 18 seconds. The screw the Esk is now using is a common or Admiralty pattern, having a diameter of 12 feet, a pitch of 9 feet 8 inches, and a length of 3 feet. At the conclusion of the trials the Esk again anchored at Spithead, but, being under sailing orders, will leave for her destination as early as possible. The Charger gunboat is ordered to proceed from Portsmouth to the Thames, where it will be placed in Messrs. Young and Magnay's dock, and fitted with a new description of propeller, patented by Mr. Curtis, of London, and from which great results are confidently predicted. The principle of the new "shoulder" joint, by means of which the rudd er propeller is an application of the universal of and propeller are always in a ship will be in ventor claims that by these means a able to describe a circle in little more than her parallel line. . The . b w r e a e t h. i o the e f from action principleof a the d backwater upon the rudder is effectually done away own with , length, The differencean d al 1 between the old is preci sel y the same as that which exists b etween the r ailway carriage with its fixed wheels an d axles and th e ordinar y road carriage with its -tivoted axle and wheels. „ THE ARMY.
