AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE HAMMONIA. SOUTHAMPTON, Friday. The Hamburg and American company's steamship Hammonia, Capt. SchwensQn, from New York on the 10th inst., arrived shot tly after three p.m. bringing the French, English, and German mails, 57 passengers, and 217,867 doffs. for England. The City of Washington arrived at New York on the evening of the 9th inst. The African had also arrived out at Halifax on the same date. The Hammonia brings New York journals of the Bth, 9th, and 10th inst. The following are the latest telegrams from Murfreesboro published in them :-- "Nashville, Jan. 8. "Murfreesboro is entirely deserted. Our army and General Rosencranz's headquarters have ad vanced ten miles beyond that pine. The rebel army is reported to be at Tullahoma. The Union gunboat W. H. Slidell, T. W. Van Dorn commanding, has arrived here with 164 prisoners from Clarksville. She also brought 3,000 barrels of flour, 10,0001bs. of bacon, 900 sacks of oats, and 2,000 bushels of shelled corn. The gunboat captured two rebel captains, with horses and mules. " The river is three and a half feet deep on the shoals. " Nashville, Tenn., Jan. 9. " One thousand rebel prisoners were were sent North by rail to-day. Two hundred arrived from Mur freesboro. General Rosencranz orders all captured officers to be confined until Jeff. Davis's order is revoked ; the rebel prisoners to subsist on army rations, the food contributed by friends to be confis cated to hospital use, and the repetition of such contributions to constitute a gaol offence. " There is a heavy rain to-night. The river is stationary. " There are 17 steamers at the foot of Harpeth Shoals." Accounts of the battle of Murfreesboro up to the 31st December have already been published. On New Year's-day there was no fighting, but on Friday the Confederates attacked in force. The correspondent of the New York, lierald says : "'The assault was not less vigorous than had la en that on our right on Wednesday. But Beatty, with better spirit and success, defended himself. His three brigades fought with desperate energy, and the hail of lead they poured into the first column caused it to turn and retreat instantly. [his column is understood to have been Breckinridge's division, and is reported to have been terribly cut to pieces. Claiborne's column came forward as unflinching.y to the assault as if that of Breckinridge had not faltered; and they met with better success. Our little band could not withstand the numbers now advanced upon them, and one by one the brigades began to fall back slowly, giving their artillery time to recross the stream. The position deserted by them was soon occupied by the rebels, and as our men fell back to and crossed Lytle's Creek they pursued them to the very banks. Their artillery was moved up, and, on the very hill where Beatty had just been, poured in upon us a terrible fire. From either bank'of the stream the two forces poured in upon each other a terrible fire of mus ketry, Wood engaging for a short time on the right of Beatty. "Negley had been left in reserve for a wise pur pose. It now became apparent. By order of Rosencranz he came up to the reserve, followed closely in rear by the division of Jeff. C. Davis. The men of Negley advanced, led by their gallant leader, with the wildest shouts of enthusiasm. They pressed forward to the left of Beatty, and on reach ing the bank of the stream opened with splendid effect on the rebels beyond. Negley got the batteries of Captains Schultz and Nell to work in fine style, and grape and shrapnel were poured into the rebel lines. They wavered and fell back slowly. As Davis came up into line on his left, Negley ordered his ' division to advance and cross the stream. With a bound and a. shout the '7Bth Pennsylvania, Colonel Sirwell, pushed forward and was the first to cross. The 19th Illinois and the rest of the two brigades followed. Davis took the order to include him, and Beatty was not slow in following. On the other side, in admirable disorder, but a line sufficiently good, as Negley remarked, for practical purposes, the gallant Pennsylvanian suddenly found himself the senior division commanding on that part of the field. He looked along the line. A glance of the eye at Beatty, and Davis told what was in his heart and his mind. He passed through his ranks, placed his hat upon his sword, shouted to them to charge, and led his line to the top of the hill. The charge was the most desperate and the most bril liant of the day. The rebels could not stand it, but broke and fled. The 78th Pennsylvania cap tured the entire 26th Tennessee Infantry, Colonel Milliard securing their colours. The 19th Illinois and 74th Ohio dispute the honour of having taken what was reported as Douglass's Kentucky Artillery. " In the assault our men had suffered terribly. In the 19th Illinois fifty men had fallen. Colonel Scott, who had been slightly wounded on Wednes day, was now severely wounded. Major Guthrie, of the same regiment, had also been wounded severely. Captain M. 11. Chandler, of Company F, was killed in the same charge. In the 69th Ohio and 78th Pennsylvania the loss is fright ful. Captain Cumzeilor, of Company H of the 69th, was killed. I could name others, but their names will be found in the list of killed and wounded appended to this. " Negley * did not halt with this temporary suc cess. His batteries were immediately ordered to cross. The captured rebel battery was put to work, and poured shell into the ranks of the retiring enemy. As soon as his batteries came up Negley moved his whole line ra pidl y forward. He then sent word to General Rosencranz that he was driv ing the rebel right, and asking for instructions. Gen. Rosencranz sent word in answer--' Drive 'ern.' "As soon as General Rosencranz had learned fiom Negley that he was driving them, and that they were almost driven to a disgraceful rout, he ordered the whole line to be advanced. The line, from right to left, in a moment after, became a per fect sheet of flame and smoke. The resistance on the rebel left and centre was manfully made, but Polk could no longer sustain himself against Negley. We could see by the smoke of battle that Negley was fast getting upon their right flank, and we could distinctly hear the shouts of victory far in advance. The men were nerved anew with vigour, and they pressed forward. In vain the enemy re sisted. With their right wing broken it was in vain to attempt to hold their position. Our men pushed forward with the most desperate energy, and drove them rapidly before them. The outer works were pasßedwith a shout that must have of made the h earts the rebels sink within them. and ha They never pa use d , hardly resisted. But, alas ! night came at la s t and saved "Negley sent wo r d that nightraLadovertaken him within view of their wor k s, and in . three q t uarters of a mile of Murfreesboro. He would n further until he receiv e d o r d ers f rom Gen. Rosen cranz. Would he please say forward, Negl eyse n thought he could take the works. B ut the line was halted, and the men lay that night within a mile of Murfreesboro. When Saturday morning dawned it found them entrenched in the very front of the rebel works. "No sooner had the splendid bayonet charge of Negley been finished than General Rosencranz ordered the spade to be brought into requisition, and on the following morning I found our line en trenched. "During the night there were reports that the enemy had been evacuating Marfreesboro eversince dusk had shaded their movements. I could . not believ e it to be so, but this morning the truth was vealed—the e nemy had gone. " hern wivi nothing more tine o e place n Stina morning. .to do than to occupy trii yon name of this' The telegrams Will tblin'l am able to do now. Ceneral RGsfucranz moved in about 11 o'clock with the main army. Stanhy and Negley were push ing forward after the enemy, who have retreated to Tullahoma or Normandy. " Our loss is heavy, and will amount to at least 1,500 killed and 5,000 to 7,000 wounded. We have lost about 4,000 in prisoners taken on Wednesday." The following are the Confederate dispatches in continuation of those before given : " Murfreesboro, Jan. 2. " The enemy retired last night but a short dis tance in rear of his position. We had a short and sharp contest this evening. We drove his left flank from its position, but an attacking party again re turned, with considerable loss to both sides. " Generals Wheeler and Wharton were again in their rear yesterday, and captured 200 prisoners, one piece of artillery, and destroyed 200 loaded waggons. " BRAXTON BRAGG." " Tullahoma, Jan. 6._ " Unable to dislodge the enemy from his entrench ments, and hearing of reinforcements to him, 1 withdrew from his front the night before last. He has not followed. My cavalry are close on the front. " BRAXTON BRAGG." " Chattanooga, Tenn., Jan. 5, 1863. "To General S. Cooper, Adjutant and Inspector- General, C. S. A. " Sir,—We have retired from Murfreesboro in perfect order. All the stores are saved. About 4,000 Federal prisoners, 5,000 stand of small arms, and 24 pieces of cannon, brass and steel, have already been received here. "B. S. EIVELL, A. A. G." The following dispatch relates to the Confede rate attack on Springfield, Missouri : "St. Louis, Mo., Jan. 8, 1863. " General Curtis has received the following dispatch from General Brown : " ' Springfield, Mo., Jan. 8, three p.m. " ' The enemy are crowding the fighting ; but my men are behaving well. lam holding all the strong positions. The enemy must fight as I want to, whether he likes it or not. " General BROWN.' " Dr. Melchor has just sent the following dis patch, dated this afternoon:— " ' General BroNs n is badly wounded. There has been no severe fighting since noon. The enemy are in large force. The rebels took one of our guns, and were repulsed at dark. Militia reinforcements are coming in, Prisoners say that General Mar maduke is in command of the rebels, and will be rein forced to-night.' " St. Louis, Jan, 9, 1863. " Telegraphic communication with Springfield ceased at three o'clock this morning. The enemy entered our stockade yesterday afternoon. Our force was reported to be 2,000 strong, with two pieces of artillery. Springfield contains a very large amount of army stores, arms, and ammunition. Fifteen 4-horse teams and 30 men be longing to the telegraphic corps were supposed to be captured a few miles south of Springfield. General Brown's left shoulder is badly shattered. He would have to submit to amputation to save his life. " St. Louis, Mo., Jan. 9—Evening. " Communication with Springfield is still broken. A party sent from Lebanon to repair the line had not been heard from, and apprehensions are felt that they have been captured. The opinion strongly pre vails that Springfield has been taken." The following despatches relate to the attack by the Federals on Vicksburg : . _ _ " Cairo, Jan. 8. "The steamer from Memphis has arrived. There is nothing later from Vicksburg. The reason as signed by the passengers for the non-arrival of the steamer from Vicksburg is that the rebels have planted batteries at Cypress Bend, and thus pre vented intercourse for the present. These will be easily cleared by our gunboats when communication becomes necessary. " By way of Grenada reports had reached Memphis that there had been no fighting since the 29th ult." " To Major General S. R. Curtis. " Columbus, Jan. 2, 1863. " The Rocket left Yazoo River Sunday morning. General Sherman debarked his army eight miles above the mouth, and was fighting hard to get pos session of the heights in rear of Vicksburg. Capt. Gwin, of the gunboat Benton, was mortally wounded in an engagement with a battery 20 miles up the Yazoo. The Blue Wing, with valuable ordnance stores, was captured by the rebels and taken up the Arkansas River. The Dan. Pollard, with coal barges in tow, is also probably taken. We met the New Era above Memphis, and the Conestoga is cruising at the mouth of the Arkansas. " N. P. CHIPMAN." SOUTHERN ACCOUNTS. The following official despatch was received at the rebel War Department on Saturday morning : " Vicksburg, Jan. 2, 1863. " The enemy, finding all his efforts unavailing to make any inroad upon our position here, has re embarked, leaving a considerable quantity of en trenching tools and other property, and apparently has relinquished his designs upon Vicksburg. " J. C. PEMBERTON, Lieut.-Gen. Commanding. "Hon. Jas. A. Seddon, Secretary of War." " Vicksburg, Jan. 2. " Skirmishing continued all day yesterday, but no general engagement is expected until the arrival of M'Clernand and Sherman with the balance of the Yankee army. We are confident of our ability to hold Vicksburg against any force the Federals may bring against it. " This morning our forces advanced against the enemy, who were erecting works on the lake, caus ing them to evacuate their position, leaving 50 stand of arms, nine prisoners, and all their implements for cutting fortifications. " Our forces now occupy the whole country bor dering on the lake, the enemy having returned with their transports and gone down the Yazoo. " The enemy has left Chickasaw Bayou, and are reported going o❑ their transport to Snyder's Bluff, on the Yazoo, where it is supposed they will make n attempt to storm our works. Our forces are well advised of their movements." On the 26th of December President Davis deli vered an address before the legislature of Missis sippi. The following are the most important por tions of it : "After a complimentary allusion to Mississippi and her soldiers the President spoko of his love fur the old Union. He alluded to it, however, as a matter of regret that the best affections of his heart should have been bestowed upon an object so unworthy—that he should have loved so long a government which was rotten to its very core He had predi c t e d f rom t h e b eginning a fierce . war, though it had assumed more gigantic proportions than he had calculated upon. He had predicted war, not because our right to secede was not an undoubted one, and clearly defined in the spirit of that declaration which rests the right to govern upon the consent of the governed ; but the wickedness of the North would entail war upon the country. The present war, waged against the rights of a free people, was un just, and the fruit of the evil passions of the North. In the progress of the war those evil passions have been brought out and developed ; and so far from re-uniting with such a people—a people whose ancestors Cromwell had gathered from the bogs and fens of Ireland and Scotland—a people whose in tolerance produced discord and trouble wherever they went—who persecuted Catholics, Episcopa lians, and every other sect that did not subscribe to their bigoted and contracted notions—who burnt witches and did a thousand other things calcu ltalaV Presidentto make them for ever infamous — to re-union. lie d w as re e w a mphatic in his declaration that under no c i rcumstances would he consent glowing picture of the horrors of w ar , and the ravages of the enemy ; and while t ears flowed for yet all the se wou ld b e endured thosecil eeer f u w l i h y o b e s f u o ff r ee rour , manhood and our lib ert i es would b irfeailureransfer the to do thi s w a ‘ I.' Hupon l lNorthernbriefly so soil o b h u i t s dthese s t u o r r t e nder ed. prdceeded not from a want of inclination, but of power. We were not an old established nation with armies and navies at o ur command. These to be improvised froth the scanty materials to be found within the limits of our own confederacy. W e were blockaded and cut off from other nations, and everybody knows that we had been an agricul tural people, and that our facilities for manufactur ing materials of war were extremely limited. Not withstanding this fact, patent to the most casual observer. we Lad now an army larger than ever before, our arms and munitions of war were in creased in number and improved in quality, and we are in better condition to-day than we were twelve months ago. " The conscription and exemption laws were then touched upon, and the necessity of the one and the intention of the other explained. He thought there might probably be a revision of the latter, and trusted there would be no conflict between Confe derate and state laws on the subject of the military. "The President expressed his gratification at the message of Governor Pettus, and cordially endorsed his views in reference to making provision for in digent families and the enrolments of exempts who could be ready on an emergency to go forth and occupy the trenches, while the disciplined and ac tive soldiery could take the field. The calls for such service could be for 30, 60, or 90 days, and when the emergency had passed they could return to their pursuits. Raw soldiers, the President con tended, could do efficient service in the trenches, and the adoption of such a policy would strengthen our means of defence materially. In his allusion to the vast numbers of the North, the Presi dent said that upon any fair field we were willing to fight them two to one; we have often whipped them three to one ; at Antietam General Lee whipped them four to one. But this might not be the case always. As the enemy progressed in discipline they approached nearer to our own troops in effi ciency. Hence the necessity of providing some thing like a corresponding force to that which the enemy are bringing against us. I " The President remarked that when he arrived here he thought the enemy were pressing down upon us from the northern borders of our state; but when he went to Grenada he there learned that nothing could be seen of them but their backs, They were going back, perhaps, with the intention of reinforc ing the heavy column that was now being thrown down the Mississippi River. The real points of attack were at Vicksburg and Port Hudson, and to all who desired to lend a helping hand to the coun try in the present exigency he would say, ' Go to Port Hudson and Vicksburg without delay.' " He spoke of the salutary effects of harmonious action between the several states and the govern ment t Richmond, and urged upon legislators, both State and Confederate, the necessity of establishing a permanent military system ; for even after the present war was ended we might expect trouble from oar enemies unless our military establishment was of such a character as to give them a wholesome fear of precipitating a war upon us. The true the ory was to adopt a military system, which would be permanent and operative in times of peace. " The issue involved in this war was no ordinary one. The questi ma is, will you be free r or will you be the slaves of the most depraved and intolerant, and tyrannical and hated people on earth P This was the real question to be decided. Everything else was as dust in the balance. A people who have demon strated their utter incapability for self-govern ment, who have destroyed their own liberties in the vain effort to deprive us of ours, seek to be our .masters, and inflict upon us such galling chains as have no parallel in the annals of tyranny. Missis sippi is the object of their peculiar hatred ; upon her is to be visited their refined vengeance. But our cause is just, and vengeance belongs to the Lord. We will resist the power of the enemy. Discard all considerations but the public defence, and the victory will again be ours. "Though the war had somewhat exceeded his expectations, yet he never doubted our final success, and he considered it now as absolutely certain. The duration of the war was a question of time. He thought, however, it was not possible for a war waged upon such a tremendous scale to be pro tracted. Be it long or short, however, we could ❑ot be the first to cry, ' Hold enough.' " The President paid a deserving tribute to Vicks burg. That noble little city had withstood the shock of the combined fleets of the enemy after the great cities of New Orleans and Memphis had succumbed to their supposed invincibility. The heroic women of Vicksburg had cried out, give the enemy the soil it it cannot be defended, but let him have nothing else. The governor left his chair and repaired to the scene of danger, and refused to listen to any ad vice except of defiance to the concentrated power of the enemy. We are better prepared at Vicksburg how than then. Our defences are greatly improved and strengthened, our armaments much improved, we have better armies, and that gallant soldier, Ge neral Johnston, is pouring in reinforcements. He comes to Mississippi to protect and defend her. "To the question of recognition and intervention, the President devoted only a few words. We had a right to expect recognition long since, but it had not come, and his advice was, Put not your faith in princes, nor rest your hopes upon foreign nations. It seemed that England still refused to take any steps towards either recognition or mediation. France had made a move that looked friendly to us, and when she extended the hand of friendship, we would be ready to grasp it. "'The President took a brief retrospective view of the movements of our armies since the fall of Ne w Orleans—an event, as unexpected to him as it was to us—and showed that we had not retrograded, but had gathered largely in strength, Armies are not made up in numbers only. We have now an army that we can safely rely on. We have stripped gunboats of their terrors. We have improved in all those things which go to make us invincible. Our prospects are much better than they were twelve months ago. " There are two grand objects of the enemy— first, to get possession of the river, and thus cut our confederacy in two, and, secondly, to seize the Con federate capital, and hold it up to foreign nations as an evidence that the Confederacy does not exist. The President dwelt at some length upon the vast importance of thwarting the enemy's designs upon this valley. He considered its defence a necessity, not only to the people here, but to the Confederacy itself. Vicksburg and Port Hudson were points that must be defended, and every effort must be strained for this purpose. Vicksburg, he said, would stand, and Port Hudson would stand, if the people were true to themselves. This done the north-wt st would grow restive and cease to support a war ruinous to them and beneficial only to New England contractors. From the north-west he looked for the first gleams of peace. " Although his duties required his presence else where, yet, when ho heard of the sufferings of his own state, and her danger of subjugation by a vandal foe, his feelings dragged him to her soil. He goes back with a lighter heart. He finds none of that depression which was reported. At Grenada he found the army sorry that the enemy had gone back. At Vicksbur g they were ready and eager for the fray. Depression existed only among that class of nwn who were constitutional grumblers and faultfinders. He goes back cheered, but still anxi ous, for his heart is here. His attachment to the ' state has risen since the war began, and he can see dangers, though he believes the greatest have passed, "On the - other side of the river our prospects are brighter than ever before, and ere long be hoped that he would be enabled to proclaim Missouri free. Kentucky, too, was an object of solicitude to him, and he spoke of her gallant people in the kindest and most commendable terms. " The President laid particular stress upon the encoLraging faet that we had improved in every respect since the war began. Our armies were superior in number, and improved in quality and a ppoin tme ,A, n i ts is . sis O sip ar pi m a a l n o u n f e ac h to a r d ies clo h t a n d ed ma a d nedraspub id . whole army upon her soil.

He had an unfaltering belief in the justice of our cause, and a profound reverence for the decrees of Heaven. He noticed with evident satisfaction the superior morality of our army to that of the invader. In God and the valour of our troops ho trusted." NEW voRK, JAN. 12.. The Conf e d erates, under Gen. Magruder, recap tured Gal veston, Texas, on the Ist inSt.The attack was made by l and and water.

The Confederate army withdrew from Murfreesboro' in good order to Tulle Orne, and was at Shelbyville en the sth inst. A Richmond despatch of the Gth says that, by this move ment, General Bragg has thrown East Tennessee entirely over to the Yankees, and that if Rosecranz once gets pos session there 200,000 men will not be able to dislodge him. A week of desperate fighting at Vicksburg has termi nated in the defeat of the Federals. The attack was most determined, and the resistance obstinate in the extreme. The Federals fought to within two miles of the city at one time, but were driven back by a superior force, under General Joseph Johnston ; whole regiments and brigades fought hand to hand, and batteries and forti fications were taken and retaken several times. The fortifications extend for six miles in the rear of the city, and were defended by upwards of 60,000 men, a large portion of whom were suddenly concentrated upon the point. The latest accounts represent that the Federal forces re turned to their transports in no condition to renew the at tack. The Federal loss is upwards of 5,000. Among the officers slain are Generals Morgan and Smith. One thousand five hundred Federals under Genera] Horey, sent to execute a special order, are supposed to have, been captured. The Confederate loss is not known. Six thousand Confederates under Generals Bunbridge and Marmaduko, with six pieces of artillery, are reported to be advancing upon Springfield, Missouri. Confederate accounts state that Trenton, Union City, and Humboldt, Mississippi, had been captured by the Con federates, with 2,000 prisoners and two cannon, and that the railroad from Jackson to Columbia had been de stroyed. It is again positively asserted that General Burnside has finally resigned the command of the army of the Potomac, and that he is succeeded by General Hooker, President Davis addressed the Mississippi Legislature at Jackson on the 26th. He had predicted from the beginning a fierce war, though it had assumed more gigantic pro portions than he had calculated upon. He was emphatic in his declaration that under no circumstances would he consent to reunion with the most depraved, intolerant, tyrannical, hated people on the earth. He alluded briefly to the transfer of the war to Northern soil, but stated the failure to do this proceeded not from a want of inc:ination, but of power. He insisted that both Port Hudson and Vicksburg should be defended to the last extremity, and that neither would fall into the power of the enemy if the people were true to themselves. Though the extent and duration of the war had exceeded his expectations, he be lieved final success was absolutely certain. He asserted that the South had a right to recognition, but it had not come, and his advice was, "Put not your trust in princes, nor rest your hopes upon foreign nations." The Richmond Examiner unhesitatingly declines the parti cipation of the Seceded States in a national convention, as suggested at the meeting of the Democratic Association of New York, in Dec, and asserts that peace can only be re stored upon a bas's of an acknowledgment of the independ ence of the Confederacy. Governor Seymour's message, de livered on the 7th inst., gives general satisfaction. It strongly denounces the recent arbitrary arrests and the general policy of the Administration—admonishes the sheriff and district attorneys, and threatens to punish any violation of the States' statutes. In regard to Mr. Lincoln's Emancipation Proclama tion, he argues that since the President had already signed an Act of Congress, confiscating the slaves of rebels—its sole effect is to declare the emancipation of the slaves of loyal citizens. He condemns both acts as impolitic, un just, and unconstitutional, and calculated to prevent the restoration of the Union. In conclusion he declares that the interests of the country are indivisible, and that the Union must be restored, but doubts whether war alone can accomplish that end without conciliation of the Southern people and every guarantee of the constitutional rights. The Committee of Ways and Means had reported a bill authorising Secretary Chase to issue 100,000,000 of United States Bonds for the support o: the Government. General Butler has de:lined a public dinner proposed to be given to him by his admirers in New York. The premium on gold is 371, 1 per cent. lower than this morning. JANUARY 10. P.S.

(Before the Assistant-Judge.) George Fenton, a surgeon's assistant, was indicted for feloniously stealing, in the dwelling-house of Janet Miller, a gold bracelet, value £l5, her property. Mr. Ribton appeared for the prosecution; Mr. Littler (of the Northern Circuit, specially retained) and Mr. Besley appeared for the prisoner. From the opening statement of Mr. Ribton it appeared that the prosecutrix was the widow of a clerk in the army, residing at No. 45, Sutherland-street, Pimlico, where she occupied a house which was let out in furnished lodgings, and it appeared about three months ago the prosecutrix was very ill. The prisoner introduced himself to her, said he was a friend of Dr. Smith, and ho attended her about a dozen times. On the 22d of December the prisoner called upon the prosecutrix at her house, No. 45, Sutherland street, for payment of his account, which he said amounted to £1 17s. The prosecutrix took the prisoner into her bed room, and told him that she considered he had charged too much for his attendances, and that she would give him a sovereign in discharge in full of her debt. She added that she thought that would be sufficient for the services he had rendered, to which he agreed, took the money, and left the house. Before the prisoner had entered the room the gold bracelet, which was the subject of the present charge, was placed upon the mantelpiece, and was there when the pri soner entered the room, which would be confirmed by the evidence of the sister of the prosecutrix. Soon after the pri soner had left the room, no other person having been there, the prosecutrix discovered that the bracelet was gone, and that, as no one but the prisoner could possibly have taken it, she immediately called out her sister, who went in search of him. It was believed that the prisoner took the bracelet from off the mantelpiece while the prosecutrix opened her wardrobe to take out the sovereign to pay him, as her back was for a moment turned towardshim. It would appear that a little child six years of age was at the time in the room, and that she saw the prisoner put his hand on to the mantel piece and take something from it, and after he was gone she mentioned this to the prosecutrix. The sister of the prose cutrix would also be called, and would tell them that when prisoner entered the bedroom the bracelet was on the man telpiece, and although she was in the hall, as the bedroom door was open, she could see her sister go towards the wardrobe, and heard her say she would only give him a sovereign. After the prisoner was gone the prosecutrix asked her if she had lifted the bracelet, which she denied. She then went after the prisoner, but could not trace him, until in about three quarters of an hour, when she found him engaged with a gentleman at his surgery, in Great Smith-street, Westminster. She then asked him for the bracelet, but he denied that he had got it, and immediately afterwards accompanied her to the prosecutrix's house for the purpose of having the matter cleared up. The prisoner's house was subsequently searched, but no bracelet was found. Mrs. Janet Miller was called, and gave evidence in sup port of the statement of the learned counsel; and, in cross examination by Mr. Littler, she admitted that she had charged a person with stealing her clothes, but the magis trate dismissed the case. An action was afterwards brought against her for false imprisonment, and damages were given against her. She had charged her sister and another woman with stealing a cloak. Christiana M`Leod corroborated the evidence of the pro secatrix. Cross-examined by Mr. Littler—Since the prisoner was given into custody my sister has quarrelled with me and given me a pair of black eyes. She did not tell Inspector Humphries that her sister had charged her with stealing the bracelet. She did not recollect that she had told Ser geant Brett that her sister had imputed to her that she had stolen the bracelet. Agnes M'Kay, a very little child, was called, and after a long private examination by the Assistant-Judge, was allowed to be sworn, and in answer to questions by Mr. Ribton, said she remembered the prisoner coming into Mrs. Miller's bedroom a few days before Christmas-day. There was a wardrobe in the room. Mrs. Miller went to get a box in the wardrobe, when the man put his hand on the mantel piece. After ha put his hand on to the mantelpiece he looked at it. She told her uncle about it. Cross -examined—l did not see the man put his hand towards his pocket at all. Before I went to the magistrate Mrs. Miller told me what I was to say. Mr. Griggs, my uncle, said to me this morning, " Now, my little dear, did you not see Mr. Fenton take the bracelet ?' Mr. Littler then addressed the jury on the fearful conse quences that must occur to the prisoner in being compelled to appear at the bar to answer a charge of felony, however inno3ent he might be. He had not the slightest doubt that on such evidence the jury would acquit him, but still it was most painful to him to be called upon to answer such a charge, as even the imputatian of theft would be mast seri ous to his prospects in life. He was about proceeding to examine the evidence by which the charge was attempted to be supported, when _ • The Foreman of the jury stopped the learned counsel, and said that they had already made up their minds that the prisoner was not guilty, and they wished further to add that it was their opinion that he would leave the court with out the slightest stain upon his character. The prisoner, on being discharged, received the warm congratulations of his friends. William Brown was indicted for stealing a pieco of carpet the property of his master. The prisoner was employed at Drury-lane Theatre, as a carpet planner, and while so employe] had stolen a portion of the carpet, which was f and in pledge at a pawnbroker's, and a part of that stolen was found in a tavern adjacent to the theatre. 'Several witnesses were called, who attempted to set up an alibi for the prisoner, but The jury returned a verdict of Guilty. The Assistant-Judge sentenced the prisoner to be impri soned and kept to hard latour for four months. (Before Mr. Payne.) Margaret Brett, 23, Cornelius Manning; 26, and Peter Green, were indicted for stealing a watch, value £2 55., the property of Isaac Carr, from his person. Green and Brett were further indicted for unlawfully assaulting and wound ing Esther Carr and Wm. Thomas. Mr. Platt prosecuted , Mr. Dickie defended Manning ; the other prisoners were undefended. Isaac Carr said he kept the Shamrock Coffee-house, Dock street, Whitechapel, and between twelve and one o'clock in the morning of Jan. 14 the prisoners entered his house, and had some coffee. Manning, when the money was asked for, said it was too much, and he caught hold of wit ness and held him. He struggled, but while this was going on his watch was taken. It had been safe five minutes be fore. The other prisoners then joined in the struggle, Green taking up a knife, with which he attempted to stab witness. Esther Carr, wife of the last witness, said, hearing a noise, she got up and came down stairs, and saw the three prisoners. She saw Green with a knife in his hand, with which he attempted to stab her husband. She tried to pre vent him, when he stabbed her in the arm with the knife. Manning then caught hold of her husband, and a young man took him away. They broke several bottles and other things during the fray. The prisoners were all found guilty. Mr. Payne sentenced Brett and Manning to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for 12 months, and Green for six months. Luke Wickens, Alfred Butterfield, and Jas. Knight were indicted for stealing a truss of hay, value 25., the property of James Henley, the master of Luke Wickens. Knight was also charged with receiving the same, well knowing it to have been stolen. Mr. Cooper prosecuted, Mr. Lewis defended Wickens, Mr. Collins appeared for Butterfield, and Mr. Sleigh for Knight. Samuel Doble, 147 D, said from information he received he went to watch the premises, No. 22, Brook's-mews, and about eight o'clock in the morning he went with another constable to the place, and about a quarter past nine the prisoner Butterfield came with a dung-waggon and loaded it with dung. Wickens was at that time working in a cow shed. Ho went away and left the other constable there. About a quarter past ten Butterfield came up the mews with the waggon, and on the tail board was a truss of hay. He followed them to Market-street, opposite to where the pri soner Knight lived. Butterfield took the truss of hay from the waggon, and took it into Knight's place. Knight stood at the further end of the yard, and told him to bring it that way. It was put on the ground, when Knight went and inspected it, and said that some of the truss was gone. He took some money from his pocket, when witness went up to him and said that it was stolen. He replied that he knew nothing about it, and all that he had to do was to pay the full value for it. He told Butterfield that he should take him into custody for stealing the hay, and he said that his master allowed him a certain quantity of hay for his horse's " bottle," and was told that it was not his mas ter's hay at all, but that it was stolen from 22, Brook's mews. He then told Knight that ho should also take him into custody for receiving it, knowing it to have been stolen. The bands were found with marks that had been put upon them. George Pink, Police .constable 85 D, corroborated the evidence of Doble, and added that after the waggon was loaded with the dung Wickens brought a truss of hay from the shed and placed it down against the gates. Butterfield put it on the tailboard of the waggon, drove away with it, and delivered it in Knight's yard. The Jury acquitted Knight, and found Butterfield and Wickens guilty. Mr. Payne sentenced Butterfield and Wickens to be im- 1 13risoned and kept to h ard labour for 12 months. The Jury said they had no moral doubt that Knight was guilty, but the evidence was not strong enough to convict hi r e, although he must have known that these men were not hay-dealers, and, of course, that they were not autho rised to sell it. Mr. Payne advised him to be careful in future, and not to purchase hay from strangers, or unpleasant conse quences might be the result, GROWTH OF QUEENSLAND.-At the date of our own last census —the beginning of April, 1861—the popu lation (not aboriginal) of the colony of Queensland was 30,059. On the 30th of September last it was 41,951 — namely, 25,435 males, and 16,506 females. At this rate the population would double itself in less than foul y.?ars, but such an increase depends, of course, mainly upon immigra tion, THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, JANUARY 24, 1863. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. TlMES.—There are few who in cold blood, and without any exciting motive to overcome the natu ral aversion to danger, would wish to go through the excitements and the perils of a great battle. But what is a great battle, with all its tumult, its smoke, and its carnage, compared with the morning that succeeds it ? The excitement is gone, the burning courage which hurled men upon mortal dangers, of the existence of which they were scarcely conscious, is chilled. War has lost all those exter nal ornaments which, if they do not make ambition virtue, conceal and ennoble the dreadful work of carnage, and the battlefield appears what it really is—a human shambles. Squalid and hideous, full of agonising and piteous entreaties from men who yesterday dreamt not of either giving or asking for mercy, lull of death and slow lingering agony worse than death, who can read without a shudder the description given by our correspondent of the battlefield of Fredericksburg, on which the wounded were doomed to lie for three long days untended, uncared for, a prey to the thirst that fever engen ders, shivering in the cold dews of night, and swel tering in the hot sun of noon, because the Federal commander could not bring himself at first to ask from his enemy leave to remove them ? What can be more mournful than the sound of those voices repeating, in tones that grew fainter and fainter, the name and number of their regiment, as if de spairing of all human succour, unless they could summon one of their comrades to their assistance ? We read these things and shudder, but we require no such lesson as every day affords, in some quarter or another of the United States, against the folly and wickedness of civil war. We only wish the narra tives which appear in our columns could find entrance into the newspapers of the North. There it is only read that so many have been killed and so many have been wounded, These are abstract figures, which excite no sympathy or pity, and leave those who hear them without any clear conception of the unutterable misery which they indicate. People who would shrink in horror and dismay from the spectacle of a single individual suffering the least of the horrors which thousands endured after the battle of Fredericksburg sum up the loss with indifference when it is expressed to them only through numerals. The sight of that hill-side at Fredericksburg might well induce the most fiery zealot of the Northern tribune, pulpit, or printing-press to reconsider the whole question between North and South, and to ask himself what prospect this war affords which can compensate for the extraordinary misery it has thus wantonly called into existence. Is this the manner in which the North means to consummate the re-entrance of the South into the Union ? Are these the memories which are to bring back alienated friends, and heal the wounds which Civil Discord has left behind her ? We fear that there is nothing in the tone of the American people to give us any very confident hope that the miseries of the nation are as yet drawing to an end. All the ordinary motives that can act upon mankind have been tried, and tried upon them in vain. The ruin of a flour ishing commerce has threatened a people who used to be considered as among those most devoted to the acquisition of money of any nation on the face of , the glebe ; but a currency morbidly abundant, and the power of investing it as soon as issued in lucrative Government contracts, or in a thousand other ways which the necessities of this hard time points out, seem to have stifled in the breast of the Americans all anxiety es to their finances. The prospect of retaining power on the one aide, and the fear of losing it by a premature and ill-concerted declaration of opinion on the other, have made the Republicans firm in the prosecution of the war, and the Democrats unwilling to advocate with sufficient vigour the propriety of an armistice with the view to a general peace. If any one hoped that the Democrats, who are as yet irresponsible for the war, would avail them selves of the recent elections to speak their minds freely and openly, we fear he is doomed, for some time at least, to be disappointed. The more the Union vanishes out of the sight of all reasonable men, the more do the two parties of the State vie with each other in their frantic promises to renew it. Governor Seymour can find in the policy of Mr. Lincoln many things most justly reprehensible, but the one thing which above all others to an Euro pean eye draws down upon the President the repre hension of all good men—his resolution to persist in the war—is now imitated by men who disapprove the cause of the war, who disapprove the manner in which it is carried on, and who believe in their heart of hearts that the only chance to avert the ruin of their country is to do the very thing that they are most sedulous in denouncing. Winter, which used to be looked upon as, for a time at least, preventing the possibility of hostilities, seems to have been the signal for renewing them on a scale at once larger, more bloody, and more bitter than ever. Where shall we look for an end to this fra tricidal madness America will not accept the remedy from without, nor can she work it out for herself from within. We are sometimes appealed to, as if an imperative duty called upon us to join France in intervention ; but no duty can bind us to push ourselves into the councils of men who entered into this war without consulting us, and would see in any endeavour to put an end to it only provoca tion to be treasured up for future use, and a new ground for an enmity which there is no occasion for us by any moans to increase. We must be con tent to look on yet awhile, and to hope that deli verance fur this people, most sorely tried because most entirely handed over to its own devices, will come from some quarter of which present circum stances afford us no indication. HERALD.—With a divided state and a failing ex chequer, an exhausted army and a dearth of generals, the Federal Republic of North America is in so crazy a condition that it would seem as if a few more shocks of the nature that it has lately experienced would suffice to crumble it in pieces. TneFederals are again reported to us by the last mail as getting worsted on every part of the continent. In some places they are disgracefully beaten, in others out manomvred by an inferior force of the enemy. The attack on Vicksburg has failed ; in a combined action by sea and land forces at Texas the Confe derates have won a great victory; the North has sustained a great blow in the state of Mississippi ; the Federal general has been outwitted in Tennes see. If every mail should bring us such tidings we should not expect that the Northern invaders could hold out long against such an accumulation of dis asters. The Confederates have been so accustomed to curry all before them on the Mississippi River that this signal failure with which the close of the year has been marked must infuse as much spirit into their enemies as a dozen victories on land. We confess, however, that we were entirely unprepared to hear of a great victory of the Confederates at sea, Galveston Bay, in the remote Gulf state of Teas, was the scene of the extraordinary achievement which is recorded in the news of the Hammonia. The city of Galveston has been taken by the South erners. It is situate at the extremity of an island, ' which lies off the great bay of the Galt of Mexico which goes by the same name. A Federal force occupied the place; a Federal gun-boat squadron had possession of the sea. An apparition suddenly appeared to disturb their equanimity. It was no thing less than a fleet of five steamers, which must have come down the river which falls into the head of the bay. There were troops on board, and guns protected the bales of cotton, a defence much lighter than iron, and under certain circumstances, quite as efficient. Never was there a more complete or an easier triumph than that of this audacious little squadron over the insolent Federal force which held possession of the gate of Texas. The famous ship the Harriet Lane, was captured, and her officers and nearly all her crew had been killed by musketry. We presume that her shot fell dead from the cotton bales. The Federal flag ship was blown up, and the commodore was killed. A part of the fleet was taken, and the remainder fled to Now Orleans. The Con federates, whose fertility of resources excites our admiration, have disembarked their troops at Galveston, and are preparing to scour the Gulf with the Harriet Lane, which is swift and strongly armed, and capable of eclipsing the fame of the Alabama. The Monitor sank ignominiously in half a . gale of wind otiCape Hatteras. The Harriet Lane has Intl `pith a fate more saticfactory to the Con federates, and, if possible, more discouraging to the North. Our previous impression of the result of the campaign in Tennessee is very precisely con firmed by the latest accounts. It is admitted that the Federals were worsted by General Bragg in the battle of Murfreesboro on Dec. 31. We are now told that the contest was renewed and continued for three days. During the night of Jan. 3 the Con federate army evacuated Murfreesboro, and on the following morning the Federals took possession of the place, but they made no attempt to pursue the enemy until the evening of the 4th. It is thought in New York that this movement indicates the failure of Bragg's attack upon Nashville. The New York Herald, however, admits the great disappoint ment that is felt in the North. "If the War De partment had been efficient General Bragg's army would have been destroyed; whereas, after inflict ing upon General Rosencranz a loss of 10,000 men and 30 guns, he retreats more with ►he air of a con queror than with evidence of a serious defeat." The New York grzbune ins:nuates that the retreat of the Confederates may involve merely a change of opera tions. There is no doubt that the Confederate army retired in perfect order, and unmolested. General Ewell writes from Chattanoga that all the stores were saved, and that 4,000 prisoners, 5,000 stand of arms, and 25 guns, had arrived there on the sth. If they have found it necessary to retire, they have done so in the character of victors and bearing with them the spoils of war. It does not appear that the bulk of the Confederate army has retired into Alabama, as at first supposed ; on the contrary General Bragg is at Shelbyville, only 20 miles south west from Murfreesboro, on the Duck River, a branch of the Tennessee. His movements must depend on the position of the Federal armies of Grant and Sherman in the state of Mississippi, and the communications which it is necessary to main tain with Johnstone. General Bragg has hitherto outwitted every Federal general who has been sent to Tennessee to subdue him, and may be intent on surprising General Rosencranz by a flank move ment which will again place Nashville in danger. STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, January 23.—The yarn-market is still quiet, but we have had a more hopeful feeling, with rather more inquiry, though it has not yet resulted in business. Judging, however, from circumstances attending this in quiry, and the various quarters it has come from, there is a confident feeling that there will be more business a few days hence, and at rather better prices than spinners would have accepted to-day. The tone of the market is decidedly more cheerful than it has been for some days past, and buyers have manfested more disposition to operate. There is hardly so much as a fractional change of prices to-day, and sellers are asking the highest rates current within the last fortnight, and have manifested no disposition to accept anything less. In cloth the market has been very dull. In the absence of any mail from the United States of America, people seem unable to make up their minds to operate, and there is quite a pause in business for nearly all kinds of cloth. The home trade appear to be giving out no fresh orders, and are buying but little; but the orders given out during the last six or seven weeks are in the course of deli • very, and would appear to be nearly sufficient to meet any demand which is experienced by houses in this trade from their retail customers. When it is recollected how many years it took to induce people to give up high-priced linens in favour of cheaper calicoes, it can hardly be wondered at, now that calicoes are in many cases fully as dear as linens if not higher-priced, that it should be a work of time and difficulty to sell home-trade goods at the compare. tively high rates which tradesmen are compelled to charge for them. Though the market here is stagnant, however, to-day we hear of no change in price. There is no inquiry for India, and the shipping appears to be quite as inactive as any other branch of trade. COUNTRY MARKETS. lV- .. WAKEFIELD—JAN. 23. The wheat trade rules dull to-day, and prices generally must be noted is per qr cheaper, and at the decline it is difficult to find buyers for runs of English. For good sorts of barley there was a fair consumptive demand at fully late rates. Beans realised fully former prices. In oats and shelling there was no alteration. STAMFORD-JAN. 23. New wheat, 50s to 52s—red,. 46s to 50s per 36 stone. Barley, malting, 38s to 425; grinding, 32s to 34s per qr. Oats, 21s to 26s per 24 stone. Beans, old, 40s to 44s per qr. ; new, 36s to 38s. LIVERPOOL-JAN. 23. At this day's market there was a good attendance of the town and country trade, and wheat met with a slow sale, at ld to 2d per cental cheaper than last Tuesday's rates. Flour was also Gd per barrel lower. Oats and oatmeal were in limited request and without change in value. Barley, beans, and peas remained as last quoted. Indian corn, was easier. EXETER-JAN. 23.
