Everything concurs to show that, in these last conflicts to the north of Washington, the advantage remained (when the latest advices left) with the Confe derates. Nothing demonstrates this moreclearly or more significantly than the tone of the closing para graph in President LINCOLN'S message or procla• oration. if it is expressive 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 document 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 especial reference—took place at the commencement of this I present month of July at Gettysburg, in Pennsyl vania. As to the result of the conflict, so far as it could in eny way be learnt before these last de spatches left by the Bohemian—the advantage, we must still insist, quite manifestly 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 their consistency by continuing down to the very last to be the persistent thick-and-thin supporters 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 tbemselves relate, that the Confederates had been" repulsed" at all points. Mark that —repulsed According to their inge nious narrative of events, moreover, the conflict beginning thus and ending thus on the first of July. was renewed on the second with, if possible, sue 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 less than the repulse at all points of the army of Ine 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 "--zhat is of the second day's fight ing at Gettysburg, in Pennsylv an i a —" at the close of the day," says to-day's issue of the chief organ of the Federals among our morning contemporaries, General MEADE held his ground at all points! " A very different matter indeed from the immedi ately preceding account given by the same journal, namely, its account of " the repulse at all points" of th e army of the Confederates ! No—with o u t putting any gloss whatever upon it, the news furnished by the telegrams is sufficiently ex plicit and sufficiently comprehensible—proving quite plainly, if it can be said to prove anything whatever, that the Federale were the chief sufferers in the two days' battle at Gettysburg, and that, by th e close of the second day (both of the month end of the battle) , the ad v antage was left wi t h the Con federates. Ta o ri g ht flank of the Federal a rm y w as turned—the like bein g done with the left flank shortly afterwards —in other words, the northern forces were effectually doubled up by the Confede rates. REYNOLDS'S corps was compelled to gi ve way, with a loss of 1,500 men, including their 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 occupe a position "south" of Gettysburg—Gettysburg re maining, in point of 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 cam ieg to tie through N , ..w York—when that later fighting is epoktn of at New York in signi scant words like these, "it is impossible to say what has really bean the result of the coeflict," we may be abselattly certaie of this, that the result is not by any means in favour of the Federal cause. No doubt we have to read, at the head of General MEADE'S Report, under a date as recent as eight o'clock on the morning of the 3d inst—" Repulse of the Confederates !" But—bok at the Report, itself, so headed in the telegrams ! Read what it is that General MEADE himself states therein—" 'Thus far the enemy has made no impres ston on my paaition!" And in the telegram sure ‘ntr7 we read—' At the termination of the battle each belligerent appears to have held the came poiA:on Not Tc-47 t a li a . a:, the COlailmenCeMe.ni.” 18 —like a repulse at every point of the Confederate army ! 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 he "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, the 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 i f n armz e prize property and its mode of a said that his attention was calledwbion to na t d he b q o u e e n st e io x n by the great dissatisfacti on . pressed throughout the officers an d y men. They had taken apartarmyinboth b glorious campaigns, and the result was that they were entitled to prize for complaint was the immense money. The cau se e time - when th e captors received the money. He would t i me which had inter vened between the capture and the 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 Ghuznee took place, but no prize money was distributed until nine years after wards. The prize money with regard to gu was not received for ten years. Colonel NORTH truly declared that no one could be surprised at the soldiers la( ing disgusted. What the object of this absard 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. Colonel 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. "Ne less a sum than £40,000 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 i' appeared that a considerable sum had been taken from the soldiers' prize money to build a place for these army schoolmasters. This is really a Beauties lows 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, and trusted he would appoint those who " from their services, their ability, and their name would be qualified for the task." Colonel NORTH acquitted himself very creditably of his arduous endeavour. It is all times an invidious task to bring forward these claims; but in the present instance, happily, there was no opposition 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 from 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 parties who eventually receives 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 art so constantly interposed. Sir S. NORTHCOTE was not so fortunate in his attempt to inquire into the Benda ana Kirwee booty. Lord P ALMERSTON did not take up the idea at all, and seemed inaigeant 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 i 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 of a reward that they had earned with their biome and valour. Lord PAL3IERSTON promised that this fund should not be dealt with until the papers re lating to the affair should be laid before the House. fbis is a satisfactory conclusion to have strived at, and thus the contending claims of the troops under Sir G . WHITLOCK and Sir HUGH ROSE will have an opportunity of being adjusted iu a manner that will do justice to all. It is, to be trusted that these discuss i ons will eventually result in ben efit to the officers and sold iers of our army, who are the chi e f parties concerned in this affair. If their interests are well protecte d , and their gallant services suit ably requited, it w ill be a matter of ver y little im portles a re violated, and some angry feelings engendered o n the p art of those who if some official rules in these complicated now rule with arbitrary sway affairs. The mistake is too often made of tolerating grievanc es an d sanct i o ning injustice ra ther than offend prejudices or alter exiating arrang ements. ne sooner such id eas are e xploded the bet ter, for l' the maintenance of order and the inculcation of good and right feeling in the army. Mr. CHILDERS' resolution regarding the en couragement of emigration from the distressed dis tricts of Lancashire was fully discussed the other evening. The arguments on both sides were in a great measure the same as those formerly brought torward. Mr. CHILDERS' motion was to the effect that any moneys rai se d uoder the Union Relief Aid Bill should be app,icable to the assistance of emi gration to such colonies as might be willing to cr operate in th e e ff ort. The hon. gentleman spoke with moderation and temperance of tone, and he brought forward a long array of figures in support of his proposal. H e said that during prosperousto th years there was a great influx of labour manufacturing district,' from the agricultural, and that tae present check was hurtful to both. In the prospect of the abundant harvest we have reason to hope for, this is, however, scarcely the time or sea son for such a complaint. He remarked on the amount of emigration from this country during th e years, and said that his proposal grant e d power, and the guardians ne e d not makeolanslt few y ae permissive us e o t' i t unless they chose. The Southern colonies of Australia were, he maintaiced, especially suitable for emigrants from ti;is country; the cli• mate being wild and the colonies being very ready to come forward and mist. Vicorio, according to his statement, has received 70,000 or 80,000 per sons in one year without the rate of wages being affected. We readily grant the great amount of labour that can be absorbed into the v ast colonies of our Southern continent, but several drawbacks re main to be considered, and this is a question on which hasty legislation is esp eciall y to be depre cated. Mr. VILLIERS stat ed that he had that ver y 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 for assistance to the colonies. He was assured .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 rub s are espe cially enforced with regard to the sonny of Victoria. stipulate to pb eah partly t lcy seriouslyo i a o t n i wst theirhs what tohnaksvi considered, expense,oeof course,ai persons srstioht is e nei a P s s are restrictions t u : perfect that eis:leisgut out must be who do not approa c h th e d escr i pt i on g i ven are not suitable to send, a s th e co l on i sts must naturally evi e td r to refin t 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. The most serious difficulty in the case is the oae that has often been pointed out, and was especially dwelt upon on Tues day evening by two gentlemen who ought to know something of the matter—Mr. VILLIERS and. Mr. COBDEN. They both insisted on the impropriety, end even the cruelty, of despatching a large nupi her of families to great distances unless some secu rity is provided for their obtaining employment at rhe end of their journey. Mr. r —HILDERS had spoken of the eagerness of the people to emigrate, and had cited, in support of his assertions, some letters written by M. KNIGHT, who visited Manchester .s an acting emigration agent this spring. This .4entieman 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 the 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 surplias 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. the truth was fairly stated by Mr. VVILLIERS when he said that some temporary provision is necessary ; and people should be left free to emigrate it the y wish ; but for the House to encourage, direct, or compel them to do so is contrary to ancient prac iice and good policy. Partial schemes to aesis' these anxious to emigrate have long been on foot, and are at this time especially deserving of assist ance, provided they arrange for the reception of their members, but the wisdcm of wholesale mea sures of the kind is always doubtful. Mr. atm HERS, becoming sensible of this, withdrew hie motion, and the Union Relief Aid Bill was allowed to pass finally through committee, and will, we hope, prove a substantial amelioration of some part of the still existing distress. rim SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 16, 1863 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 attraction there. His Grace the Duke of Neweaetle left London by the H 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 /Tightened by all the stuff talked and written abou , the Maories, No man, and hardly any woman, in Auckland believes that we, in this province, need care a teething about them, I only wish the Governor would ship hem 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 side 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 see the poor King abdicate shortly, and come 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, Lord 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. aitland played with a rich, racy, Irish humour, which recalled to the mind ever lamented Power. It is seldom that we see that captivating, humorous, high-souled, brave -spirited, warm-herirted character, an Irish gentleman, so admirably interpreted, Lady Anne Sherson and Lord ttaynharn (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 dnnceei a jig (well supported by Mrs. Joy, and nothing more piquante or more charming could be imagined than both her ladysip's It isn jig and Lancashire; clog dance, which she in. roduced in the charac ter of Margery in "The Itough Diamonds."

LATEST INTELLIGENCE. REUTER'S TELEGRAMS. THE POLISH INSURRECTION. BROMBERG, JULY 16. The Bromberger Zeitung of to day publishes ❑ews 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 a manifesto to the people. This manifesto will be published i❑ the English, Fr:nch, German, and Polish languages on the day that the reply ct Prince Gortschakoff becomes known. ITALY. THE ARREST OF BRIGANDS AT GENOA, TURIN, JULY 15, Evening. In the Chamber of Deputies to-thy Signori La porta aed Miceli, requested explanations from the Government with respect to the late arrest of brigand chiefs at Genoa. Signor Minghetti desired that the question should be postponed for an indefinite period. Signor Miceli insisted upon fixing to-morrow, stating that explanations were awaited with pro- found emotion by the country. Signot Boggio supported the pr ,position of Signor Minghetti, desiring the indefinite postponement of the subject, FRANCE• The Opinone.Rationale moats the following observations oe the debate in the House of Lords on the Polish question. Lord Grey's language is first remarked on :—"'The noble lord condemns t`.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 san e 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 G rey , i n sp i te o f his indigna tion, does not Call on the English Government to exact an exemplary vengeance for those nameless she admits,ord bulb trifles. Such fli g h ts are only permitted to Democr a t s lik e ourselves. L or d G r ey, on the contrary, begs th e Mi n i sters o f Q ueen Victoria not to draw n the sword from w sc i a ld bba b r e d a . sts, Th o e ut ß ra u g s e u - siah humanity, disho nour c i v ili sat i on , an d only seek victory in a monstrous butchery ; but the noble lord does nut con s id er it a case f or o bli ga t or y interven tion. Th a t hi g h an d powerful l or d , t h a t t err itorial seigneur, is not the less a great philanthropist ; but the love whi c h h e possesses for hi s f e llow-creatures is not a gross, material, and vulg it feeling ; it is a beautiful platonic love, and a pure affection. There is also the reply o f E ar l R uss ell to Lord Grey. The minister declared on two occasions that the Government neither will nor can assist the Poles by arms; he s a id t h at, if a nything 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 b e th e reply of R uss ia, nor what mea sures the En g li s h G overnmen t would take after having eeceiv e d it, an d that , besides, Lord Grey's point of view was not that o f every body in Eng land, where m an y p ersons were of opinion that an armed interventi on oug h t to ta ke place. Earl Rus sell is perfectly r i g h t ; the E ng lish people are not, any more than the French, disposed to allow the Poles to be slaughtered, and there are in the House of Lords men who profess the same views and feel ings; such is Lord Harrewhy, who advised Queen Victoria to declare th a t Russia heti lost all her rights of S overe i gnly not only over Poland, but over Lithuenia,Volhvnie,Podolia, and the Ukraine." A Paris letter, in the Independance Beige, having asserted that the Emperor Napoleon had completely renounced all idea of war wit h Russia, the Pa y s e.lits the matt er up re her warmly, and efffi me that no such language is justified. It says:—'''!'Here was not, say more than there is at present, any idea of war or notion of cot filet. The Emperor has not had to renounce, nor has he renounced, any part of the policy wnich he first adopted in the Polish question , and of which the Minis ter of Foreign Affairs, without ever depart ing from it, has pursued the application with as much skill as firmness. In consequence of this ior a conduct, ted b t y h r e e sitnatun t the maybe considered as almostame liorated certain adhesion of Russia to the propositions of the three Powers. But there is absolutely nothing changed either in the feelings or intentions of 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.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) CRACOW, July 12, _ . Another Polish town has fallen a victim to the 1 barbarity of the Russian troops. Janow, which a week ego A as one of the most flourishing of the towns of the palatinate of Oikusz, is now in ashes, lino 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 e 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 Chmielinaki, who, witn his baud, occupied a strong position in the woods of Polok Chmielioski, hearing of their arrival, determined to attack them at Janow before they had time to con centrate their forces, and, with this view, left the main body of his band and marched to the village of Ponik, taking about 120 riflemen 4ith him. At surprised so Ponik, which i s a b out 500 paces from Janow, they Cossacks and e i r t e da b n o t t r h y ing soldiers in a of the lviieb sk o llle Regiment,essa h o pond. The Russians, after losing &bout a dozen men, fled with great precipitation to Janow, closely pursued by the Poles. Meanwhile, the Russian troops at Janow, hearing the firing, bad assembled in order in the marketplace, and presented a formidable front to the handful of Poles that were rushing into t he town. A desperate hand-to-hand struggle eusued—a major, a captE,in, and several other offi cers and soldiers, fell on the side of the Russians, an d t h e market-place retnained in possession of the Poles.Ch~nielinaki then returned to his camp in t h e woods, taking with him a large quantity of ammunition and several horses. It was then that the carnage and destruction began. SeAreely were the roles well out of sight, 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 Chmielioski was unable to take away with him, were thrown by the Russians into the flames. The unfortuzate 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. • You are, no doubt, award that Wielopolski has left Warsaw on leave. His last officiul act was characteristic. It appears that the Czar had asked him his opinion on tne six points proposed by th , Western Powers. Wielopolski answered that he did not see any reason why the Czar should not accept them, as if he did so that would not neces sitate any alteration in the present state of things in Poland. Let the Powers judge how far Russia may be trusted from this opinion of Wielopolskt on the six points. AMERICA. (REFTER.'S TELEGRAM.) Desperate Battle between the Forces of Genet als Lee and Meade. (Per the Bohemian.) NEW YORK. July 3, Morning. At nine o'clt ck on Wt oi esday morning the hi corks of General Meade's army, under Bey maks, followed by the 11th corps, under Howard, entered Gettysburg on the east side, and passing out on tht west side were met by General Hill's corps ad • vancing from Übambersburg Turnpike in line of battle towards the town. An engagement commenced immediately. During the first portion of the fight, Reynoies by a skilful movt ment, captured the Confederate General Archer and about 1;000 men. Reynolds was engaged two hours before Howard came up, and at that time the Confederatzs had par tially succeeded in turning Reynolds' right flank. General Reynolds held a position on a wooded ridge. cud 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 crow fire. The Federal right flank was turned and their left flank at the same time, so superior were tilt Confederates in number. Reynolds's corps giving way, Howard found it impcssible to maintain his position, and at four o'clock in the afternoon both corps tell 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 men and Reynolds's corps 1,500, including Reynolds, General Paul, and an immense number of tifficeis killed. Fighting was resumed on Thursday, and it is supposed that the battle between the main armie took p'see yesterday at d to day. Th Federals are reported to have eaptured 6,000 prisoners in Pennsylvania, 2,000 of whom have ar- I iced at Baltimore. General Fitzhugh Lee, with 3,000 men, de manded the surrender of Carlisle, on Wednesda3. which was relused. G,nera• Lee then shelled the town, burning the barracks and numerous build- ings, and retired on Ihureday to Shippeneburg. The defences of Bdltimore are manned by 10,001 citizen s, and all arms have been taken from privat persons. n. French has abandoned Maryland Heights, destroying all the fortifications, and has moved to co-operate with General Mel de. The governor of Pennsylvania 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 apinst 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 Yorb 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 been the result of the conflict. News from Vicksburg to the 28th ult. states thit the Cunfederates continued active resistance. General Jotnstone is said to have received rein. forcements from Bragg, and to be perfecting ar rangements 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 pribably attempt to seize Milliken's BeLS, 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 corn wand of the Mississippi above New Orleans, and cutting off Banks's supplies. The Confederate pickets are near Algiers, oppo site New Orleans. It is reported that General Dix will abandon his expedition upon the peninsula and join General 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 dais. in specie. NEW YORK, July 4, Morning. General Meade officially reports as tollovvs:— "On the 2d inst. the enemy attacktd me about four o'clock in be afternoon, and after one of the severest contests of the war, was repulsed at all We have suffered considerably in sick and wounded, General Z ok is killed, and Generals Sickles, Thrlow, Graham, and Warren, wounded slightly. We have taken a large number of pi- ooints. son ors. 12 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 line. H. says:— " Thus far the enemy have made no impression on my position. All accounts agree in pissing their whole Hrmy here. Prisoners report that Longstreel and Hill's forces were much injured yesterday, and that many generals and officers were killed. " General Barksdale, of Mississippi, is dead. His body is within our lines. " We have thus far about 1,600 prisoners." The following are the details of the battle of the 2LI in3t. . Early in the morning General Meado formed his line of battle. His centre occupied the heights south of Gettysburg, at and near the cemetery. The 2d and 3d corps, under Sickles, formed the left wing, and the Ist 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 ar,illery opened on the Fede ral left, and the Federal batteries on the Cemetery hill ()pared against the Confederates in the field, who returned the . are. Ail the Federal guns on the northern face of the Cemetery-hill en gaged the Confederate batteries two miles across 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 3d 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 erest of the hill. Anderson's and Maclaw's divisions of 14,dogstreet's corps now advanced upon this position with great fury, killing men on the crest of the hill, over the crest, and coming down on the oiler side. Eut the sth Corps rallied, and by a strong effort drove the Confederates back down the hitt, 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 pears to have held the same position as at the com mencement. News from New Orleans of the 261 h ult. statef that after the battle at Lafourche Crossing, tre 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, valuable stores. They have also seized Pass Manche Bridge. The Confederates occupy the entire state of uisiana west of Lafourctie Crossing, and north ,f the Opelonsas R iilrosd. New Orleans is coo -idered secure, RR the guns of the fleet command he city, and land forces are placid to defend every ipproacn. Tee bombardment of Port Hudson continues, and another assault was expected to take place on the 27th ult. News from Vicksburg to the 2911 states that Johnstone's advance was reported to be within a few miles of the Federal outer pickets. Niw YORK, July 4, Noon. General Meade reports, at 8 o'clock on the evening of the 3d, as follows : " The enemy opened fire et 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. 'ions that the enemy might be withdrawing, I pushed an armed reconnaissanct forward from the left, and found the enemy to be in force. All quiet now. My cavalry have been engaged all day in harassing beth 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 have fallen, and for this especially desires that CD this day He whose will, not ours, shovid ever be done, be everywhere remembered and reverenced with the profoundest gratitude.

Nightingale, of Wimbledon. . _ During the meeting a post-office has been kept on the ground by Sergeant Russell, 38 A. Souse poets have brought as many as 300 letters, and it has been very amusing to witness the eagerness with which the volun teers have surrounde i the box of this officer when a post has arrived. The crowds have been at times so great thai two constables have been actively engaged 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 Poet-office sorters. Mr. J. E. 13 bt=l,ktr has died uorth nearly 4000,000. if we remember rightly, Mr. Baillie is recorded as the banker who advised the late Sir T. Grahani not to bank, nrititat HER MAJESTY.

The Countess of Listowel and the Ladies Hare have left town for the season. Viscountess Palmerston will have an evening party on Saturday next, and also on the succeeding Satur day, the 25th inst. _ _ Lard Londesborough intends to leave town b.fore 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.

He declined to relieve the captain of this portion, of his official dut ies.—Corp. Paper. ROYAL GALLERY OF ILLUSTRATION, 14, Regent street, Waterloo-place.--Mr. aid Mrs. German Reed's new entertainment is erjoying a very prosperous career and attracts very fashicnable audiences. These clever artists are quite "at home" in their " Charming Cot tage." Ont 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 ct. We understand. there will be other visitors at the " aerating 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 description of "Mrs. Roseleaf's Little Evening Party," which he had the honour of giving before the Prince and Princess of Wales, at the mansion of the Lord Cham berlain, continues to amuse the frequenters , f the Gailery. 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 nature of some of its districts. To Italy the same great authority assigas only Ito 13. This last statement completely upsets the de ductions of those critics who base on the small 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 Solterino. From this one would be led to inter 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 Furey could come up. FRENCH AND ENGLISH PLEASURE SEEKERS.— Speaking about excursion trains, yesterday, a tamous railway director told me that in his opinion it would be a loog time before the French would travel a lung d,sta ce for pleasure. English people will do the most eccentric mai 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 Pat is being persuaded to go to Dover, land, and return to Paris six hours after, weary and sea sick. Yet English artisans will leave Londk,n and visit Boulogne under such circumstances. I myself witnessed an arrival of pale intelligent- looking Londoners at Boulogne, who had come over on an excursion occasion. On landing ,rom a rough sea, a determined rain set in, Etna nothing could be more gloomy than Boulogne and its associations hat day. The excursionists broke up into groups and stood under windy doorways, laughed, joked, and got tutu out of this dreary damp misfortune. They got something to eat at a very high price, bought a bottle of cheap (sandy (which is made 'row imported Engish spirits), and embarked again oa a rough sea for their native London. The bare 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? "1 hey are not going tar off. If you stroll down to the Havre Railway station at any morning hour you will find hundreds of really well-dressed people, with a large proportion of the fair sex, and some mothers with the whole family (geners.lly at most two children, alter years of matrimonial felicity), taking their places for one of the many pleasure gardens on the banks of the Seine, within 20 minutes' railway of the capi tal. They will dine according to their means, for they know exactly how and when to spend their inoney ; they will throw , henaselves on the grass and watch the caneiers and eanotieres—tor am ngst the equipage ate sometimes ladies. Later, the Parisian C ,ckney 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 Le t.oberly and quietly returning to Paris. That is the sort of "out" the Parisians like. If, be it known, Paris is from town now, it is iich, fashionable, and forelen Paris—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.—Paris correspondent of the Alorning Post. REGISTERED JUDGMENTS.—In the year ending the 31st of May, 1863, 1,417 judgments for sums amounting together to £997,223 were registered in the Court of Common Pleas, in order to have the effect, of being a charge upon lands the debtors might have or acquire. This ,s 146 lower than in the previous year. Orders 01 the Court of Chancery were also registered, making calls on 75,200 shares in companies, and orders for the payment o annual sums amounting to £6lB, t
