Add to the state ments contained in General MEADE'S own report and to the corroborative intimations conveyed piecemeal by the telegrams, add to all this the profoundly despondent tone of the closing passage in the PRESIDENT'S message already alluded to, namely, when ha " claims the condolence of all for the many gallant men who have fallen, and for this especially desires that on this day He whose will, not ours, should ever be done, be everwhere remembered and reverenced with the profoundest gratitude !" Reading all which, who shall deny that, when these last advices left, the powers that still were at Washington were then, indeed, in fearful jeopardy ? The brief debate on the subject of Prize Money, be other night, called attention to a subject which especially deserves consideration. Colonel NORTH moved an address to her MAJESTY to issue a Royal Commission to inquire into the realisation of army prize property and its mode of distribution. He said that his attention was called to the question by the great dissatisfaction which had been ex pressed throughout the army both by officers and men. They had taken a part in g lorious campaigns, and the result was that they w ere entitled to prize immense time The cause for comp laint was the time which had intervened between the capture anti the time when the captors received the money. He would cite several instances in which most unrea sonable delays had occurred of late years. In the Burmese war he found that the first order for pay ment was issued ten years after the war was closed. In 1839 the capture of Gheznee took place, but no prize money was distributed until nine years after wards. The prize money with regard to Pegu was not received for ten years. Colonel NORTH truly declared that no one could be surprised at the soldiers being disgusted. What the object of this absurd dilatoriness can be, must puzzle the most astute to account for. If the object in view was to disgust and dissatisfy the army, it might be comprehensible. But presuming that all in autho rity in such cases are willing to do their utmost to satisfy the defenders of their country, it remains an inscrutable problem. Co'onel NORTH also ad verted to the real appropriation of forfeited and unreclaimed prize money. A large sum arising from soldiers' prize money had been expended on the purchase of land near Chelsea Hospital. "No less a sum than i 140,000 Lad been paid to Commis sioners in virtue of an Act of Parliament for the purpose of purchasing a site for the Royal Military Asylum." Also, it had been represented to the House in 1854 that a large number of boys had been turned out of Chelsea Hospital to enable tho schoolmasters for the army to occupy their apart ments. This was disapproved of by the House, and the boys were restored to their rights ; but now it appeared that a considerable sum had been taken from the soldiers' prize money to build a place fot these army schoolmasters. This is really a scandh- THIS D orning, 2h. 30 ra.—Af ernoon, 2c. 50m, Tm o Ituovr.-Tal orsai 3h.

Nothing demonstrates this more clearly or more significantly than the tone of the closing para- graph in President LINCOLN'S message or procla mation. If it i 3 compressive of anything whatever it is expressive of profound despondency. There is no glimmering through any one syllable of it, of that old and at length obsolete exultation which used to characterise every individual documen emanating from the Government authorities at Washington, from the PRESIDENT downwards to the veriest underling. The last fighting—to which this most exemplary and most " resigned" pro- clamation of President LINCOLN has especia reference—took place at the commencement of this present month of July at Gettysburg, in Pennsyl vania. As to the result of the conflict, so far as it could in tiny way be learnt before these last de spatches left by the Bohemian—the advantage, we must still insist, quite nvanltestly remained on the side of the Confederates. True, that the very few. English journals yet contriving, we presume by thE simple device of hoping against hope, to maintain ous proceeding, and requires investigation of a searching nature. Colonel NORTH referred in con clusion to the capture of Delhi, where the soldiers could have carried away immense booty, but at the command of their officers they gave it up. Hence it was the more to be regretted that the sum received as prize money was so miserably small as to cause great dissatisfaction. He left the matter to the noble lord at the head of the Government, anc trusted he would appoint those who "from their services, their ability, and their name would lot qualified fur the task." Colonel NORTH acquitted himself very creditably of his arduous endeavour. It is all times au invidious task to bring forward these claims ; but in the r.resent instance, happily, there was no oppositiun to the fulfilment of the laudable suggestion that was made. Lord PAL MERSTON said he had no objection whatever to the motion of the hon. and gallant officer. The noble Lord very forcibly demonstrated the evils arising trom the present system. He said that when a period of ten years elapsed before prize-money was received, men die, or get dispersed, and then their families have to prove their right of inheritance. Again, the men often sold their claim at a great loss, and thus the patties who eventually received it were speculators, and not they whose meritorious services had earned the reward. It reflects honout on the noble lord that he should so readily have acceded to this demand for investigation, and, doubtless, he will gain the thanks of many who now suffer most undeservedly great inconvenience from the harassing delays and vexatious obstacles that are so constantly interposed. Sir S. NORTHCOTE was not so fortunate in his attempt to inquire into the Banda and Kirwee booty. Lord PALMERSTON did not take up the idea at all, and seemed indignant at the suggestion. He said that there was no rule on the subject, and the motion was withdrawn. Colonel DICK, thereupon very properly observed that it there was no law for the distribution of prize money, the sooner one was made the better, for it was mon strous that our soldiers should for years be kept out o f a reward that they had earned with their blooG and valour. Lord PALMERSTON promised that this fund should not be dealt with until the papers re lating to the affair should be laid before the House. ['his is a satisfactory conclusion to have arrived at, and thus the contending claims of the troops under si r G. WHITLOCK and Sir HUGH ROSE will have an o pportunity of bein g ad j usted in a manner that will do justice to all. It is to be trusted that these discussions will eventually result in benefit to the officers and soldier oar aff ar l m ir y . army, o If theairre interests chiefres ts are well protected, parties concerned in this r d and their gallant services sof if some official rules are violated, and some suit ably requited, it w ill be a matter of very little im portles angry feelings engendered on h tine t hase o mplsicated now rule with arbitrary swa y f co thoe who • • affairs, The mistake is to o often made grievances and sanctioning of tolerating injustice rather than better, for rile sooner such ideas are explod ed the offend prejudices or alter exi stin g arrangements. the maintenance of order and the i nculcation of ' good an d r i g h t f ee li ng i n t h e army- their consistency by continuing down to the very last to be the persistent thickeand.thin suppor tern of the North, argue with the most amusingly naive confidence that black is white, that defeat is victory, that at the very least discomfiture is success for the Federals. A fortnight ago, they complacently remark, there was hard fighting at Gettysburg, in Pennsylvania—the result of this hard fighting being, according to their distorted view of the very facts they themselves relate, that the Confederates had been" repulsed" at all points. Mark that—repulsed! According to their inge 'lions narrative of evtn9s, moreover, the conflict beginning thus and ending thus on the first of July, was renewed on the second with, if possible, still greater fury ; a " tremendous cannonade" con tinuing, we are told, on that morning for three hours without intermission. With what result, is it asked ? The Federal apologists shall answer in their own words—" with the same result as before !" Meaning, that is to say, nothing lees than the repulse at all points of the army of the Con federates. Now mark well how plain a tale shall put them down. By their own summary, in effect, of the particulars thus flagrantly distorted ! "At the close of the day "—that is of the second day's fight ing at Gettysburg,in Pennsylvania—" at the close of the day;' says to-day's issue of the chief organ of the Federals among our mo an i ng " General AI c ontemporaries, BADE held his ground Q t " A very different m a t ter i ndeed from thePolnimmedi ately . preceding account given by the same journal, namely, its account of "the repulse at all points' , of the army of the Confederates l No—without putting any gloss whatever upon it, the news furnished by the telegrams is sufficiently ex plicit and sufficiently comprehensible—provh4 quite plainly, if it can be said to prove anything whatever, that the Federals were the chief sufferers in the two da y s' battl e at Gettysburg,and that, by the close of the second day (both of the month Lnd of the battle), the advantag e was left with the Con federates. The right 11,nk of the Federal army VMS turned —the like being done with the left flank shortly afterwards —in other words, the northern forces were effectually doubled upby the Confede rates.to REYN OLDS'S corps was compelled • give way, with a loss of 1,500 men, including t l iel unfortunate commander. HowARD'S followers were obliged in like manner to yield before the victorious advance of the Southerners. Both corps together fell back so unmistakeably as to OCCDpv a position "south" of Gettysburg—Gettysburg r e . rla i n i ng , in point ol fact, in the possession of the Confederates. When the later fighting "to the right of Gettysburg" is referred to afterwards in the exceedingly confused narrative of events come ing to us t hr ough e New York — when t hat later enola a of at New York in signi. fighting is scant wci:is like CiLIOEC, "it is imposEiblu Mr. CHILDERS' resolution regarding the en couragem ent o f em i grat i on f rom the di s t r essed die tricts of Lancashire was The same re was fully discussed the othe r arguments Ets o th n os b e ot f h or s m id e e r s ly werein a great m easure brought the forward.

We readily grant the great amount of labour that can be absorbed into the vast colonies of our Southern continent, but several drawbacks re main to be considered, and this is a question on which hasty legislation is especially to be depre cated. Mr. VILLIERS stated that he had that very morning heard from the Emigration Board the rules and restrictions under which they acted on behalf of the colonies. He had inquired whether there was a likeli hood of the cotton operatives being selected :'or assistance to the colonies. He was avureu hat the rules of the Board would prevent their -ending them. The emigrants must not be above 40 ; they must not have more than two children ; And they must have been employed as either mechanics or agriculturists. These ruhs are espe cially enforced with regard to the colony of Victoria. The colonists have, of course, a perfect right to stipulate what kinds of persons are to be sent out partly at their expense, and their restrictions must be seriously considered, as it is evident that per sons who do not approach the description given are not suitable to send, as the colonists must naturally be the best aware of what class is likely to succeed and thrive in the new land, and be a source of pro fit to themselves and the colony. Ttte most serious difficulty in the case is the one that has often been pointed out, and v-as especially dwelt upon on Tues. lsy evening by two gentlemen who ought to know something of the matter—:Mr. VILLIERS and Mr. COBDEN. They both insistel on the impropriety, ' and even the cruelty, of despatching a large num ' her of families to great distances unless some secu rity is provided for their obtaining employment at the end of their journey. Mr. CHILDERS had spoken of the eagerness of the peop'e to emigrate, and had ' cited, in support of his assertions, some letters written by Mr. KNIGHT, who visited Manchester es an acting emigration agent this spring. This gentieman described his office as perfectly besieged with applicants, and expressed his belief that he could have booked 1,000 per day for a considerable time. The hon. member for Rochdale, however , replied by saying that Manchester was a metropolis .n its way, and that there was by no means the same anxiety felt in the purely factory towns. He also pointed out that the proposed resolution would not come into full effect until the terrors of TOE winter were half over. We have good grounds for hoping now that the face of affairs is changing. The aspects of the American war encourage us to hope ; and it should never be forgotten in discus. sions of this nature that we are legislating for a temporary and exceptional state of things. It is wise, no doubt, to lighten the ship in times of danger; but let us not throw overboard our most valuable cargo just as the harbour is in sight. There was no surplus of labour before, as the high rate of wages testified very plainly. It is, there fore, a doubtful kindness to transport families to a new life and a new world, when, in a few months, their old source of profitable occupation may be again open to them and needing their aid. l'he truth was fairly stated by Mr. VILLIERS whe❑ he said that some temporary provision is necessary ; and people should be left free to emigrate if tht y wish ; but for the House to encourage, direct, or compel them to do so is contrary to ancient prac ice and good policy. Partial schemes to assist hose anxious to emigrate have long been on foct, and are at this tame especially deserving of assist ance, provided they arrange for the reception of heir members, but the wisdcm of wholesale men -lures of Ote kind is always doubtful. Mr. CHIL• DERs, becoming Fensiblo of this, withdrew hi, motion, and the Uuicn Relief Aid Bill was allowed to pass fivally through committee, and will, we hope, prove a substantial amelioration of some part of the still existing distress. THE NEW ZEALAND CHIEFS. The New Zealand Chiefs, accompanied by Mr. Jenkins and their interpreter, left London yester day morning on a visit to her Majesty at Osborne. They were conveyed from Southampton to Cowes in the yacht and thence by the Royal carriages to Osborne. They returned in like manner by way of Portsmouth, and visited the national objects of Ittraction there. His Grace the Duke of Newcastle left London by the 8 e.m. train yesterday morning on a visit to the Queen. (Extract from a letter, dated Auckland, N.Z., sth May, 1863, addressed to A. F. Ridgway and Sons, Agents to Provincial Government.) "Don't be frightened by all the stuff talked and written about the Meories. No man, and hardly eny woman, in Auckland believes that we, in this province, need care a farthing about them, I only wish the Governor would shut them up in their own land, and leave them to their own de vices, as they appear to be determined not to allow us to do them any good. I had a talk with Mr. Gorst, the late Com missioner on the Waikato, a few days ago. He does not believe there will be any attempt to fight, at any rate on this aide of the country, i.e., north of the Waikato country. He says the Maori King and William Thompson are thoroughly disgusted, having no authority, and that be will not be surprised to eee the poor King abdicate ahortly, and corae down to Auckland." Amateur Theatricals at the Theatre Royal, St. James's. On Friday evening, the 10th inst., the St. James's Theatre was crowded by a most brilliant and fashionable audience to witness the performance of Miss Barker's little comedietta, " The Peal of Bells," "The White Horse of the Peppers," and "The Rough Diamond," the chief characters being sustained by the Lady Anne Sherson, Miss Barker, Lotd Raynham, M.P., Mr. Maitland, ano other amateurs. The object was, as usual on such occa sions, CHARITY, and the talent displayed (especially by Lady Anae Sherson, Miss barker, and Mr. Maitland) was of a very high order. In "The White Horse of the Peppers," Mr. +.laitland played with a rich, racy, Irish humour, which recalled to the mind ever lamented Power. It is seldom that we see that captivating, humorous, itigh-souled, brave-spirited, warm-hearted character, an Irish gentleman, so admirably interpreted, Lady Anne Sherson. and Lord ttaynham(always foremost in every good work) lent the influence of their rank, popularity, ann talents to the cause of the General Benevolent Society. Lady Anne is without a rival in the characters she interprets. As the Irish soubrette she &need a jig (well supported by Mrs. Joy, and nothing more piquante or more charming could be imagined than both her ladyship's Dian jig and Lancashit e clog dance, which she introduced in the charac ter of Margery in "The Rough Diamonds."

The Bronzberger Zeitung of to day publishes news from Warsaw to the 13th instant, according to which the National Government intended to draw up a circular-note refusing to agree to the six points of the three Powers, but being informed that the Emperor Napoleon would pay no atten tion to their refusal, they have resolved to issue manifesto to the people. This manifesto will he published in the English, Fr,nch, German, and Polish languages on the day that the reply of Prince Gortschakoff becomes known. ITALY.

Signor Miceli insisted upon fixing to-morrow, stating that explanations were awaited with pro found emotion by the country. Signor Boggio supported the pr position of Signor Minghetti, desiring the indefinite postponeuaent of the subject. when the Russians returned to Janow, which they first pillaged, and then set on fire. At Ponik they burnt the farm and all the houses of the village, aLd killed six of the inhabitants. A few wounded Poles, whom Chmielinski was unable to take away with him, were thrown by the Russians into the flames. The unfortimate people,when they attempted to save their houses from destruction, were beaten, many of them, to death, by the infuriated soldiery. A Cossack, who had entered the house of a sweep and set fire to it, murdered the child of a woman who called for assistance, and wounded her severely. A policeman and an innkeeper were also murdered. The remainder of the inhabitants are wandering about the roads and woods, begging for shelter and food. Yon are, no doubt, aware that Wielopolski has left War,aw on leav:. His last offici , d act was characteristic. It appears that, the Czar had asked nim his opinion on the six points proposed by the Western Powers. Wietopolski answered that he did not see any reason why the Cz-tr should not accept them, as if he did so that would not neces sitate any alteration in the present state of thirgs in Poland. Let the Powers judge how far Russia may be trusted from this opinion of Wielopolski on the six points. AMERICA. (REUTER'S TELEGRAM.) Desperate Battle between the Forces of Genet als Lee and Meade. (Per the Bohemian.) NEW YORK, July 3, Morning. At nins o'clock on Wednesday morning the Ist corps of General Meade's army, under Reynolds, followed by the 11th corps, under Howard, entered Gettysburg on the east side, and passing out on the west side were met by General Hill's corps ad vancing from Chambershurg Turnpike in line of battle towards the town. An engagement commenced immediately. During the first portit,n of the fight, Reynolds, by a skilful movement, captureel tLe Confederate General Archer and abcut 1,000 men. Reynolds was engaged two hours before Howard came up, and at that time the Contederata3 had par- tially succeeded in turnin g Reynolds' right flank. General Reynolds held a position on a wooded ridge. and to the right was another range of hills which Howard directed Schurz to occupy with the second division. Owing, however, to the flank of the Con federates or. Reynolds' right, Schurz was unable to accomplish his object. At this time General Ewell came up with 25,000 men, and planted batteries ex posing the Federals to a destructive cross fire. The Federal right flank was turned and their left thank at the same time, so superior were the Confederates in number. Mynaids's eorps giving way, Howard found it itnpcsAble to maintain his position, and at four o'clock in the afternoon both corps fell back to a position south of Gettysburg, when they were joined by the other corps of Meade's army. At the termination of the engagement the Confe• derates occupied Gettysburg. The Federals are reported to number 20,000, and the Confederates 50,000., Howard's corps is said to have lost 3,000 met, and Reynolds's corps 1,500, including Reynolds, General Paul, and an immense number of officers killed. Figllting was resumed on Thursday, and it is supposed that the battle between the main armies took p ace yesterday at d to day. Th.! Federals are reported to have eaptured 6,000 prisoners in Pennsylvania, 2,000 of whom have ar rived at Baltimore. General Fitzhugh Lee, with 3,000 men, de manded the surrender of Carlisle, on Wednesday, which was refused. G. nera , Lee then shelled the town, burning the barracks and numerous build ings, and retired on Thursday to Shippensburg. The defences of Baltimore are manned by 10,000 citizens, and all arms have been taken from private persons. Gen. Frcneb has abandoned Maryland Heights, destroying all the fortifications, and has moved to co-operate with General MeAe. The governor of Penn:ylvania has telegraphed to the governors of New York and New Jersey that there is pressing need of troops. General Couch was going to move town through Cumberland Valley against the Confederates. NEW YORK, July 3, Evening. Fighting is reported to have been resumed yes terday to the right of Gettysburg, towards Benders ville, with greater energy and larger forces. General Sedgwick's corps passed through Yori yesterday, and is said to be in the rear of the Con federates. There are no railroads or telegraphs nearer than 40 miles from Gettysburg, so that it, is impossible to say what has really b:en the result of the conflict. News from Vicksburg to the 28th ult. states that the Confederates continued active nsistance. General Johnstone is said to have received rein forcements from Bragg, and to be perfecting ar rautgernents to attack General Grant. The Confederate generals Marmaduke, Price, and Kirkby Smith, have got possession of several points along the banks of the Mississippi, and would pi )b,bly attempt to seize Milliken's Beta, and obstruct the navigation. Gen. Rosencranz reports that he occupied Tulla homa on the Ist inst., the Confederates retiring, demoralised, towards Winchester, leaving their fortifications, provisions, and three siege guns. A Southern official despatch states that Genera! Fayen has stormed and carried the Federal position at Berwick Bay, giving the Confederates the com. mand of the Mississippi ',hove New Orleans, and cutting off Ilinks's supplies. The Confederate pickets are ❑ear Algiers, oppo site New Orleans. It is reported that Generai Dix will abandon his expedition upon the peninsula and join Genera Meade. The steamer Victory has been captured. The Republican party deny that Mr. Con way has any authority from any political party in America. The Bohemian taxes out 30,000 dols. in specie. NEW YORK, July 4, Morning, ,ine. H' says:— 2d in6i. : General Meade officially reports as follows: " On the 2d iusr. the enemy attacked me about four o'clock in be afternoon, and after one of the severest contests of the war, was repulsed at all points. We have suffered considerably in sick and wounded. General Zok is killed, and General:, Sickles, Barlow, Graham, and Warren, wounded slightly. We have taken a large number of pri soners." General Meade further reports, at eight o'clock on the morning of the 3d, that the action recom menced at early daylight upon various parts of the "Thus far the enemy have made no impression on m y position. All accounts agree in placing their whole army here. Prisoners report that Longstreet and Hill's forces were much injured yesterday, and that many generals and officers were kilicd. " General Barksdale, of Mississippi, is dead. Hs body is within our lines. 41 We have thus far about 1,600 prisoners." The following are the details of the battle of the Early in the morning General Meade formed his line of battle. His centre occupied the heights booth of Gettysburg, at and near the cemetery. The 2d and 3d corps, under Sickles, formed the left wing, and the let and 11th the right. In the early part of the day it was supposed that Lee was massing his forces on the Federal right and dis positions were made accordingly.. At three p.m. Sickles with the 3d corps was ordered forward and reconnoitred. This brought on a general engage ment. _ _ The Confederate ()riflery opened on the Fede ral left, And the Federal batteries on the Cemetery hill opened against ti-.e Confederates in the field, who returned the tire. All the Federal guns on the northern face of the Cemetery hia en- MA the Confederate batteries two miles soros PRANCE. The Opinone Nationale makes the following observations on the debate in the House of Lords on the Polish question. Lord Grey's language is first remarked o❑ :—" The noble lord condemns tt,e atrocities committed by the Russians. We have underlined that word, the better to show that the British aristocracy, that powerful head of the old European Conservative party, takes absolutely the sane view as we do, and like ourselves brands with infamy the acts of savage brutality which are now being accomplished in Poland with the authori sation of the Emperor Alexander. Let us add that Lord Grey, in spite of his indigna tion, does not call on the English Government to exact an exemplary vengeance for those nameless bat birities. Su.di flights are only permitted to Democrats like ourselves. Lord Grey, on the contrary, begs the Ministers of Queen Victoria not to draw the sword from the scabbard. The Rus sians, he admits, act like wild beasts, outrage humanity, dishonour civilisation, and only seek victory in a monstrous butchery ; but the noble lord does not consider it a case for obligatory interven tion. That high and powerful lord, that territorial seigneur, is not the less a great philanthropist ; but the love which he possesses for his fellow-creatures is not a gross, material, and vulgtr feeling; it is a beautiful platonic love, and a pure affection. There is also the reply o f Earl Russell to Lord Grey. The minister decl ared on two occas i ons that the Government neithe r w ill nor can ass i s t the Poles by arms; he said that, if anything was ob tained from Russia, it must be only by the force of reason. But he took care to add that the Polish question is not one of those in which England would act alone; that he could not say what would be the reply o f R uss ia, nor what mea sures the English Government would take after having fece'ived it, an d that, b es ides, Lord Grey's point of view was not th a t o f every body in Eng land, where many persons were of opinion that an armed intervention ought to tyke place. Earl Rus sell is perfectly right ; the English people are not , any more than the F renc h , di spos ed to allow the Poles to be slaughtered, and there are in the House of Lords men who profess the seine views and feel ings; such is Lord Harrcwby, who advised Queen Victoria to declare that Russia has lost all her rights of Sovereignty not only over Poland, but over Lithuunia,VolhYnia,Podolia, and the Ukraine." A Paris letter, in the lndependance Beige, having asserted that the Emperor Nspoleon had completely renounced all idea of war with Russia, the Pays 'ekes the matter up r a sher warmly, and affirms 1 that no such language is justifie-1. It says :—" There was not, ary more than there is at present, any idea of war or noti( n of cot flict. The Emperor has not had to renounce, nor has he renounced, any part of the policy which he first adopted in the Polish question, and of which the Minis ter of Fo re i gn Affairs, wit hout e v e r depart . ing from i t , h as pursued the application with conduct,a s much be considered a s ame liorated by reaso n of the al most c e rtain adhesion of shill situation m ay 5. Russia to the propositions ot' the three Powers. But there is absolutely nothing changed either in the feelings or intentions o f the Emperor's Government. It desired the maintenance of peace,when M. Drouyn de Lhuys addressed his despatches of the 10th April and 17th June successively to St. Petersburg, as sincerely as at present. But it is not less decided now to pursue the object which it had proposed to itself by the sending or :.hose despatches."

Another Polish town has fallen a victim to the barbarity of the Russian troops. Janow, which a week ago a as one of themost flourishing of the towns of the palatinate of Olkukz, is now in ashes, and five houses and a church alone remain to show the place where it once stood. Its destruction by the Russians was, as usual, an act of vengeance on in nocent townsmen, because they had sustained a c'efeat. The town had, a few weeks ago, been occu pied by several companies of infantry and a sotnia of Cossacks, who had been sent, together with an other detachment which proceeded to Lelow, in pursuit of Chmielinski, who, with his band, occupied a strong position in the woods of Polok Zloty. Chmicliuski, hearing of their arrival, determined to attack them at J unow before they 11.4 d time to con centrate their forces, and, with this view, left the main body of his band and marched to the village of Ponih, tcling abJut 120 riff: nen tcith him. At Ponik, which is about 500 paces from Janow, they surprised some, Cossacks and infantry soldiers of the Wilebsk Regiment, who were bathing in a pond. The Russians, after losing about a dozen mt,n, fled with great precipitation to Janow, closely pursued by the Poles. Meanwhile, the Russian troops at Janow, hearing the firing, had assembled in order in the marketplace, and presented a formidable front to the handful of Poles that were rushing into the town. A desperate hand-to-hand struggle eneued—a major, a captain, and several other offi cers and soldiers, fell on the side of the Russians, a nd tile alerket-place remained in possession of the p„j et i. rwurned to his camp in the woo(k, taking, Nvi„th hint a largo quantity of ammunition and then that the earsiege and destruction b e oan. Scarcely were the Poles Well out of sight, the country, On the Federal right the Confederate artillery caused a large number of troops to run to the rear of the Cemetery-hill, but the line was established in the rear, and they were kept in front. The musketry on the Federal left became fierce, and the 31 Corps were driven in disorder from the ground to which they had advanced, but General Sickles rallied them, and they went again forward, reinforced by the sth Corps on their left. The Confederates now attempted to get around the Federal left, but the Federals pressed forward and drove them back until they occupied a position where a Confederate battery had been previously stationed, but the fire being concentrated further to their rear, and the Confederates being reported on their left, they returned to the crest of the hill. Anderson's and Maclaves divisions of L -nw-treet's corps now advrinced upon this poAtion with great killing men on the crest of the hill, over the crest, and coming down on the wher side. Put the sth Corps rallied, and by a strong effort drove the Confederates back down the hill, and the engage ment on the left terminated with darkness. Atter dark the Confederates advanced upon the Federal right, but the Federals held their position and the Confederates did not renew the engagement. At the termination of the battle each belligerent ap p ears to have held the same position as at the cora- mencement. News from New Orleans of the 26th ult. states that after the battle at Lafourehe Crossing, tee Federals abandoned their position and retired to New Orleans. The Confederates have captured Brashear City, with its garrison of 1,000 men, 20 pieces of artillery, and valuable stores. They have also seized Pass Manche Bridge. The Confederates occupy the entire state of Louisiana west of Lafourche Crossing, and north of the Opelousas Railroad. New Orleans is con ,idered secure, as the guns of the fleet command he city, and land forces are placed to defend every approach. The bombardment of Port Hudson continues, and another assault was expec!ed to take 'Ace on the 27th ult. News from Vicksburg to the 29th states that Johnstone's advance was reported to be within a few miles of the Federal outer pickets. NEW YORK, July 4, Noon. General Meade reports, at 8 o'clock on the evening of the 3d, as follows : " The enemy opened fire at one o'clock with 150 guns upon my left and centre, continuing three hours without intermission. He then assaulted my left and centre twice, being handsomely repulsed each time with severe loss, and leaving in our hands nearly 3,000 prisoners, including Brigadier General Armistead, several colonels, and officers. Our loss is considerable, with Generals Hancock and Gibbon wounded. After repelling the assault, there being indica tions that the enemy might be withdrawing, I pushed an armed reconnaissance forward from the left, and found the enemy to be in force. All quiet now. My cftvalry have been engaged all day in harassing both flanks of the enemy and vigorously attacking him with great success, notwithstanding they met superior numbers of cavalry and infantry." President Lincoln has issued a message that he has news from General Meade's army to 10 o'clock at night of the 3d, which is said to cover that army with the highest honour, and to promise great suc cess for the Union cause. The President claims the condolence of all for the many gallant men who hare fallen, and for this esp-cially desires that on this day Ile whose will, not ours, shovid ever be done, be everywhere remembered and reverenced with the profoundest gratitude.

ARRIVAL OF THE CITY OF CORK. QUEENSTOWN, JULY 16, The City of Cork, from New York, on the 2d. arrived here this morning, and landed despatches, 3 cabin and 7 steerage passengers. She brings no specie. She passed the Great Eastern on the 7ch inst. Her news has been anticipated by the Bohemia WIMBLEDON PRIZE MEETING. The weather yesterday was very favcurable to the shoot ing, and in a great measure conduced to the good ecores which were made. The principal competition was for the Albert Prize, value £lOO.

Instead of shooting off the tie for first two prizes of the 500 yards range, Alt Comers Prizes, £5O and £4O, Captain and Adjuta t Heaton, 3d Manchester Rifles, and Sergeant Smith of the Ist Middlesex (V etoria Rifles) have agreed to divide. At the conclusion of the day's proceedings the band of the B division of I.olice performed a selection of marches, &c., in a manner highly creditable to Mr. Dean, their band master. In the course of the afternoon Sergeant France of the corps of Commissionaires, picked up a purse containing £3 10s. 93,, and with commendable honesty handed it over to the officer in charge of the police station, and before gun-fire it was owned by Mr. C. Nightingale, of Wimbledon. During the meeting a post-office has been kept on the ground by Sergeant Russell, 88 A. Some posts have brought as many as 300 letters, and it has been very amusing to witness the eagerness with which the volun teers have surrounds t the box of this officer when a post has arrived. The crowds have been at times so great that two constables have been actively etrgaged in keeping them back until each letter has been looked over and put in the proper pigeon -hole, which has been done by Sergeant Russell with a rapidity almost equalling that which could have been done by one of the Post-office sorters. Mr. J . E . B u biker at Bristol, has diri worth nearly L 1,00,000. If we remember rightly, N.r. Baillie is recorded as the banker who advised the late Sir J Grahan4 not to bank. bl hurt ICN VIE N Cirallat HER MAJESTY, OSBORNE, July 15. The Queen drove out yesterday. Her Majesty received the New Zealand chiefs to day at Osborne, consisting of 13 pvison7, ten male and three female, who arrived from London to tir.ve the honour of an interview, accompanied by Mr. Jenkins, Government interpreter, and two other in terpr,ters. The Duke of Newcastle, Secretary of State for the Colonies, was present. The chiefs ciossed orer from Southampton in her Mjcsty's yacht Fairy, which was sent to meet them. The Queen, accompanied by their Royal High nesses Princess Helens, Princess Louise, Princess Beatrice, and Prince Leopold, and attended by the Hon. M,s. Bruce, the Hon. Beatrice Bvng, and the gentlemen in waiting, received the ehiets in the Cauncii R,ootr, where they were seva.ally presented by Mr. Jenkins, and had the honour of kissing her Mijesty's hand. The heads of tribes then addressed the Queen through the interpreter. After partak ing of luncheon the whole party were taken on board the Victoria and Albert, and went afterwards to Portsmouth. The Prince and Princess of Wales. The Prince and Princess of Wales, having returned to Progmore House after their fl.) ing visits to Wim bledon vnd Aldershot, are renewing their drives and excursions in the neighbourhood of *Windsor and the Great Park. Yesterday the Prince of Wales, accompanied by the Princess and attended by their suite, drove in a pony phaeton to Virginia Water. Their Royal H ghnesses left Frogmore about five o'clock, and proceeded down the L)ng Walk o❑ their way to the above favourite locality, where they dined and afterwards returned to Frogmore. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge intends, after the prorogation of Parliament, to leave town for a tour in Germany. In the event of his Royal High. ness going abroad, he will not be absent beyond a month. The Archbishop of Canterbury and the Misses Longley have left Lambeth Palace for Addington Park, Croydon. Tne Duke and Duchess of Marlborough and family left town yesterday for Blenheim Palace, near Ox ford. The duke goes to Southampton to-day for a yachting excursion. The Duke and Duchess of Northumberland have arrived at Brighton. The Duchess of Norfolk, Lord Edmund Fitzdlan Howard, the Ladies Ethelrwla and Mary Fitzalan Howard, Lady Victoria Scott, and Mr. and Miss Hope Scott, are staying at Brighton. The Duchess of Roxburglie arrived at Brighton on Tuesday. The Marquis of Exeter will leave town to-day for Burghley House, near Stamford. In consequence of the abeence a the marchioness and family, only a few inti mate friends will meet there for the races. The Earl tind Countess Spencer left Spencer House, St James's, yesterday, for Cowes, Isle of Wight. The noble earl and countess will not leave the island until the G,,odwood races. The health of the earl is so satisfac tory that in all probability he will go to Althorp Hall for the autumn, instead of to the Continent, as was thought a few weeks since. The Countess of Listowel and the Ladies Hare have left town for the season. . Viscountess Palmerston will have an evenirg party on Saturday next, and also on the succeeding Satur day, the 25th inst. Lord Londesborough intends to leave town 10'0re the close of the month for Grimston Park, near Scarbo rough, where his lordship will entertain a succession of distinguished guests for rather more than a week. The Right lion. B. Disraeli and Mrs. Disraeli entertained, yesterday evening, at dinner, at their residence Grosvenor-gate, the Marquis and Marchioness of Clanri carde, the Earl of Wilton and Lady Alice Grey Egerton, the Countess of Desart, the Countess Brownlow, the Earl and Counttss of Bective, Viscount St. Asaph, Lord West, Lord and Lady Churchill, Colonel and Lady Rosa Grevilie, and Mr. and Mrs. Lowther, Trio Emperor of Austria and King of Prussia, it should be remembered, are to meet now in a very few days at Carlsbad. MR. KEAN IN A NEW CHARACTER.—Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kean departed by the Champion of the Seas, from Liverpool, on a professional tour through our Southern dependencies. As no clergyman happened to have taken his passage by that vessel, the eminent tragedian was pre vailed upon to read Divine service during the voyage. He stipulated that he was not to be called upon to marry, christen, or bury any of his fellow-passengers during the transit. He declined to relieve the captain of this portion of his official duties.—Cork, .Paper. _ . ROYAL GALLERY OF ILLUSTRATION, 14, Regent street, Waterloo-place.—Mr. and Mrs. German Reed's new entertainment is enjoying a very prosperous career and attracts very fashicnable audiences. These clever artists are quite " at home" in their '" Charming Cot tage." Out of the simplest of plots, they contrive to excite a lively and continued interest. Each impersonation, in. deed, has its special attraction, success depending more upon the ability of the performer than upon a sequence of incidents arranged for dramatic eff-et. We understand there will be other visitors at the " Cearming Cottage" next Monday, the Sisters Pry having been prevailed upon to call at Windsor as they formerly came to Richmond. We have little doubt these celebrated " Old Maids" will make them selves as agreeable in the one place as the other. Mr. Parry's deecription of "Mrs. Roseleaf's Little Evening Party," which he had the honotir of giving before the Prince and Princess of Wales, at the mansion of the Lord Cham berlain, continues to amuse the frequenters t.l the Gallery. We hear that, at the close of their season. Mr. and Mrs. Reed contemplate a tour round the South coast. PROPORTION OF CAVALRY TO INFANTRY.— Napoleon laid it down as an axiom, that cavalry should be to infantry as 1 to 4, giving however to France only 1 to 5, on account of the mountainous natura of some of its districts. To Italy the same great authority assigns only Ito 13. This last statement completely upsets the de ductions of those critics who base on the smelt use made of cavalry in the late camp signs in rugged, intersected Lom bardy their opinion that this arm has lost its importance in war. Dr. Roemer says that the only real cavalry combat in that campaign took place at Solferino. From this one would be led to infer that only on that occasion did the cavalry take an important part. He is in error. It was of great service at Montebello, where eight squadrons of Pied montese cavalry by repeated charges delayed the advance of Stadion till Foray could come up. • FRENCH AND ENGLISH PLEASURE SEEKERS.— Speaking about excursion trains, yesterday, a famous railway director told me that in his opinion it would be a long time before the French would travel a long distalice for pleasure. English people will do the most eccentric atd uncomfortable things, out of which they get an amount of enjoyment and happiness which no other people in the world c uld realise. I cannot imagine a dozen Frenchmen in all Paris being persuaded to go to Dover, land, and return to Paris six hours after, weary and sea.- sick, Yet English artisans will leave London and visit Boulogne under such circumstai ices. I myself witness ed au arrival of pale intelligent. looking Londoners at Boulogne, who had come over on an Excursieuoccasion. On lane.ing mom a rough sea, a determined rain set in, ani nothing could be more gloomy than Boulogne and its associations that day. The excursionists broke up into groups and stood under windy doorways, laughed, joked, and got fun out of this dreary damp misfortune. They got something to eat at a very high price, bought a bottle of cheap branely.(which is made rrom importea English spirits), and embarked again on a rough sea for their native London. The hero narrative of that excursion told to a Frenchman would shut up all ideas of the repetition of such a trip in this country. How are the French amusing themselves to-day? They are not going far off. It you stroll down to the Havre Railway station at any morning hour yon will fiat! hundreds of really well-dressed people, with a large proper tion of the fair sex, and some mothers with the whole family (generally at most two children, atter years of matrimonial felicity); taking their places for one of the many pleasure gardens on the banks of the Seine, within 20 minute , : railway of the capi tal. They will dine according to their means, for they know exactly how and when to spend their money; they will throw themselves on the grass and watch the eanotzers and eanotidres—tor am .nget the equipage are sometimes ladies. Later, the Parisian Cockney will assist at music and danc ing; and by 11 o'clock at the latest man and wile, and every conceivable relation of parties" that can possibly exist between the sex, will be soberly and quietly returning to Paris. That is the sort of "out" the Parisians like. If, be it known, Paris is irom town now, it is zich, fashionable, and form n Pal is—a class that has learned to travel since the completion of railways, and who now go further away from the capital than their provincial chateaux,--Faris correspondent of the Morning Post.
