This duty was well performed by that officer, and on the 18th he marched upon Charleston, and succeeded by a well concerted plan in sur rounding the place and capturing nearly the whole force stationed there and all their stores and transportation. Only a few escaped to Harper's Ferry. The enemy advanced from that place in superior numbers to attack General Imboden, who retired, bringing off his prisoners and captured property, his command suffering very little loss, and inflicting some damage on the pursuing column. In the course of these operations 2,436 prisoners were captured, including 41 commissioned officers. Of the above number 434 were taken by General Imboden.

General Lee has retreated beyond the Rapidan. General Meade is still pressing forward ; his army has reached Culpepper Court-house. General Buford's cavalry has occupied Culpepper. The object of General Meade's movement is to divert the Confederates from operating against General Burnside. The latter is reported to have been superseded by General Foster. Rumours are current that General Burnside has met with a disaster. NEW YORK, Nov. 10 (Evening). A body of 9,000 Confederates is on its march to attack General Blunt, who is proceeding with 1,800 cavalry and an immense supply train to Fort Smith, Arkansas. G e m Meade's movement to the - Rappahannock completely surprised the Confederates. Nearly all their force on the north side of the river was cap tured. The Southern journals anticipate an early en gagement in Chattanooga. They consider Grant's late movements in Lookout Valley have counter acted the advantage Bragg gained at Chickamauga, and may enable Grant to winter in Chattanooga. A portion of Federal General Sherman's forces is reported to be advancing from Tuscalouse on Selina, Alabama. The Confederates who are operating against Burnside have'occupied London, Tennessee, 23 miles from Knoxville. It is rumoured that an engage ment has taken place between this force and Burn side, resulting unfavourably to the latter. The Confederates have been defeated in two en gagements in Western Virginia. Gen. Banks' expedition, consisting of 17 trans ports and three war vessels, left New Orleans on the 27th ult., it is supposed for Sabine Pass. President Jeff. Davis made a speech at Charles ton. He believed Charleston never would be taken. But if captured, he desired the city should be a mass of ruins. If Charleston was beleaguered on every side, reinforcements would be sent in proportion to the strength. It is semi-officially announced that Mr. Seward has received information that the French Govern ment has stopped the building of Confederate iron clads in French ports. Mechanics and other large bodies of working men in New York and in Boston have struck for higher wages, stopping the construction of Government vessels, and injuring other branches of trade. The steamer Panama, from Mexico, has arrived at New York to coal. She has Marshal Forey on board, who has gone incognito to visit the Falls of the Niagara. Southern journals assert that the prisoners at Richmond receive proper food. The steamer Mail has been captured, and has arrived at Key West. The schooners Herald, Martha, and Jane have been captured. Richmond papers of the Gth contain the follow ing telegrams : . THE OUTWARD AMERICAN MAILS. QUEENSTOWN, Nov. 22. The royal mail steam ship Scotia arrived here at 7 p.m. to-day, embarked mails, passengers, and the latest telegrams, and proceeded for New York. All well. ATLANTA, Nov. 4. The Yankees maintain possession of Racoon Va . .ey, having been heavily reinforced. They she our forces incessantly. The Yankee advance has reached Florence. We occupy Loudon, which places us within 23 miles of Knoxville and behind the defences of the enemy. The enemy are rioting near Huntsville, committing great depredations. Bragg can muzzle the telegraph, but he cannot the mails. The enemy have gained important ad vantages within the last 4S hours, which, unless they are counteracted, will place the question of subsisting his army at Chattanooga beyond all doubt. The commander at Rome has received a telegram from Selma, Alabama, stating that heavy force of Yankee mounted infantry had reached Tuscaloosa en route for Selma. They come from Tupelo by the same route that Bragg's army came by last summer. General Grant is said to have telegraphed to the War Department that two of General Burnside's advanced positions have been assailed and captured by the Confederates, who made prisoners of parts of two regiments that were holding possession at the time. The Richmond papers contain the following Headquarters, Army of Northern Virginia. General S.

The Late Triple Cab Murder, - --- It will be recollected that at the adjourned in quest held before Dr. Lankester, at St. INL.ry's Hospital, on the bodies of Mrs, Hunt and her two children, when Harriett Blake, the unmarried sister of the former, was called up to give evidence, she handed to the coroner a packet of letters which she had received during the previous 12 months from the murdered woman, The coroner at the time thought it was unnecessary to read them, but said they might be reserved in case it was felt desirable in the course of the inquiry that they should be referred to. This was not done, and the jury re corded their verdict of " Wilful murder" against the suicide Samuel William Hunt. A subsequent perusal of the letters which were placed in the hands of the Court proves that had they been read a greater amount of light would have been thrown by them upon the tragical event and the circum stances which led to it than almost all the evidence produced. are now subjoined, and a perusal of them will not only deepen the interest felt in thi shorwr T horrible murder, but prove beyond a doubt that from the commencement of the year down almost to the period of the murder the unfortunate woman had feared that such would be the end of her career, in consequence of the repeated threats and brutal violence of her worthless husband. That some such suspicion was ever present to the poor. creature's mind is evident, as, in addition to her statements as to Hunt's attempts to poison her, she almost invariably concludes with an injunction to her sister to keep her letters. The first letter, en closed in an envelope, bearing the most-mark the 23d of January, 1863, is addressed (as they all are) to " Miss H. Blake, 124, St. John-street, Smith field, City," and is as follows ; Friday, January, 1863. Dear Harriett--I am very unhappy, and sorry to hear you are the same. Been such a dreadful row. I don't know what I shall do. Don't come. He said this morning he shall come and see all our relations to-night, and ask them all to our house, and then they shOuld see how he treated me. John, and Ann, and all should come to-night. So don't, I pray you, any of you come. So unhappy. He calls me such names, and wished last night a dreadful wish, and then said, "If he chose to kill me he could do it in such a manner he would not be found out; he could melt me to nothing, all but my hair." So don't come, if he comes to ask any of you. I pray don't. What shall I do ?—and don't you say much to him, for my sake. I hope I shall see you some time or other. Good-bye. In haste. P.S.—Don't let him think you know anything, Ile don't know I have sent this letter, mind. The next bears the postmark Feb. 27, and runs thus ; Friday, February. Dear Harriett,—What am Ito do? I wish I knew. I laid down last night before he came home, and he had not got a key to get in with, so he had to get in at the window, and I did not hear him. Of course there was a row. He beat my head with both his hands just like a ball. I have got a black eye this morning. lam not to eat, drink, nor sleep with him again. I cannot be more unhappy than now, I don't think. If you get this in time come over to night; if not come over to-morrow morning. If you can come to-night I shall like it.—l remain your unhappy sister, M. HUNT. Ann-cottage, Wellington-road, Coal-harbour-lane, Camberwell, March 11, Dear Harriett,—My life has come to such a dreadful thing now I cannot tell what will become of me. Last week he was out two days and one night. Yesterday he came home at a quarter to 2 in the afternoon, and then our house was a very dreadful scene. I have got my shoulder cut open —in fact, lam bruised from head to foot.. He broke a dish by throwing at me, but I made an escape by holding down my head, and then it went through the window. After that ho knocked me down and kicked me in a most fearful man ner. I have got bruises all over me, and the second black eye in ten days. Now, suppose you were a wife, would you like your husband to come and tell you he had paid LI Is. for seats in St. Martin's Churchyard for him and his woman ? Now, would you like that ? and then to end the day the, go to the Lyceum to wind up. Now, you must think it a very good life I lead here. lam in such a fix I don't know what to do. I don't sleep with him. I wish I was anywhere but where I write this letter now. Do come to-morrow night by 5 o'clock. If Ido not see you I must see some one who will take pity on me.—l remain, your unhappy sister, M. HUNT. The next letter bears date Jane 16, 1863, and proceeds : _ Dear Ilarriett,—l don't think I will be many days before me and William part, and will you try and come and see me before we do ?—to-morrow, soon, in the morning. Do come, pray; lam quite broken-hearted. I have plenty of faults, I know, but God knows what I am, and now I am in such a state with blows I can scarcely move. I have got one three inches long. Do come to-morrow morning. If I do not see you to-morrow I will write to you where I go to.—l remain your unhappy sister, p,S--Pray come. M. HUNT. July 23, 1863. Dear Harriett,—l hope you got home before the rain came on. I met William in the Westminster-road, and of course he don't like the last bonnet I made. You remember the one I had on, I dare say—the one I had on Monday— so of course he began to quarrel with me and walk some dis tance beyond me, so I had to walk very fast to keep up to him, and when he got home he said if he had got home be fore I did he should have broken the street door open, and then he went on talking, and got in such a rage that I thought I should not have been alive this morning to do this: First of all he jumped up from his tea and took up a knife and thrust it at me, and said he would kill me if I spoke a word to him; and I said I must say what I think ; so then he took up a chair and throw it at me. It fell upon my thigh, and this morning I have got a bruise the size of the middle of my hand. S o my life is a serious one, and it makes me very unhappy—indeed, I am now all of a tremble when I think how will it end. He threatens me if I say I will do anything, so I don't know what to do. Keep this letter in your possession; do not de stroy it. He says lam dissatisfied with everything, but you know better than that; and he says I am dreadful wasteful in everything, and that you know to be false. Mine is a bad life. Perhaps I shall see you over at my house some time this week, in the evening. lam very unhappy, because I have a great deal more to tell you. lam sorry to have to write such a painful letter to you, but it is not my fault. _ _ ---Goodbye, with a heart full of sorry (sorrow), I remain Your unhappy sister, M. HUNT. The postmark on the next letter is July 25 : Saturday Morning, July —. Dear Harriett, —We got home at 11 o'clock. He said he had been out to supper to a Mr. Monday, a friend of his, so I told him you had come to see me and y ou wa i ted till after 10. He has injured his left arm in some wa y ; when he came he had got it in a sling, so I do n 't k now how that came—but when he came in the bedroom I said, " Look at leg," and he said he wish ed I had got a dozen more like it (the bruise, I mean) —so he said, my in a very sneer i ng way, " I suppose you did n ot tell everyone what I had done ?" So he says to me, Hold your tongue, I have got an invi tation for you,' so I did not make any reply, but kept look ing at my leg all the time he kept talking. Do not destroy this. Good bye. August 4. Dear Harriett—l expected you last Friday night, and I kept the lamp burning until nearly 10 o'clock, and then I thought you would come on Monday, but I was disap pointed. Do you think you can on Wednesday to dinner ? ill on Saturday that I was obliged to lie down on my bed all I shall be very happy to see you.. Do come. I was so very yeth;e and em—y the morning.

Saturday Morning, August. Dear Harriett, —Dear IL, I wrote to you Friday night, and now Saturday morning. I dare say you will wonder why, but Friday night while I were in b e d I was t a k en ill an d thought 1 was go in g to die, s e f l e f w a andminute s, groan, u l ta said to W, " What shall for the p a i n came on a t my and heart.

Dear Harriett, —Ile is just the same. He went on dread fwuel h l a a s d t n ig betterh t, s a e n p d a r l a t s e a i ; d a i n f that, but not out of the housa." Mind, I tell you this ; I don't think my life is safe with him, and I have thought so for some time. I must not say a word without I receive a blow, and that I do not understand. It was a fearful night last night. He says there is not any law for me, I need DA expect th,at i and the flames 40 called we was ea ch I should not like to say. He dared me to take any proceed ings against him, but, nevertheless, I don't think I am safe with him. It's a very sad life, mine, I would sooner be in the workhouse than remain with such a man ; but what lamto do I don't know. He has got all my faults by heart, he says; of course not any of his own, but I know his very well. I say good-bye with an aching heart, and it won't be changed until there is a change in some way. Keep this (on the top of the last side). Friday Morning (no date). Dear Harriett,—Pray do come over this evening as soon as you can, for I think William is mad, Pray come, for he has killed all the birds this morning (Friday), and I feel quite unsafe with him. Do come. My thigh is very bad. I don't know what to do for the best, for my life is quite a trouble to me through him. Do not destroy this. Do come. Saturday, Sept., 1863. Dear Harriett, —I am very ill this morning and very . un happy. You can ask John what I had better do about the paper I am to agree to. You heard what he said last night, that he should not allow me any money to keep me with ; so ask John if he was ma whether he would do that. You may tell him lam very badly treated. We cannot go on in the unhappy state we are going on in; there must be some change one way or other—not a word, not a look is right. You can say that I ache very much. Tell John to send word by you on Monday. I shall expect you either to dinner or in the evening ; do come. If you come in the evening I shall have something to say to you, but come to dinner if possible. You heard the dreadful way he talks to me ; it's quite shocking to bear with. lam very unhappy. You heard him say, too, if I died he should send me to the surgeons, and not bury me;--there's dreadful talk I There's not any reason in him, see, in anything I So unhappy 1 De come ; only you to say a word to. Good .bye. With an aching heart. Keep this. Monday Morning, Sept., 1863. Dear Harriett,—Will you come and see me soon as you can this week ? If you do not come Ido not think you will ever see me again. I have had a very bad eye ; it's just getting better. I thought I should have lost the sight of it; it's very weak now. Do come, if it's only for an hour. I am in great trouble—worse than I ever was. Good-bye.— I am, your unhappy sister, M. RUNT. The last letter was written by the unfortunate de ceased in October last, only a week or so before her tragical end ; but the postmark on the envelope, showing the actual date, is not legible. It was as follows, and appears to furtell her death ; Saturday, October, 1863, Dear Harriett,—Never let it surprise you when you hear am dead. I feel quite certain I cannot go on much longer with my husband. He gets worse every day and night of my life. If you knsw and could see all—a dog would pity me; but I know you feel for me all you can. I cannot say much in these lines to you, but pity me, and come on Monday. Do not let a shower of rain prevent you. If I do not see you on Monday I shall think I have not a friend in this world. I wish I was good enough to die, but I must try and make myself good, as what he wants, he says, is to see me dead ; then he would laugh, and think what a good thing to think I am gone from this world. What will become of me ? I speak the truth when I say I shall die with a broken heart. We have all our faults, but I have got more than any one, so he says. I con clude with a sad heart, and my eyes so full I can scarcely see what I am writing to you. I don't think I have a friend; if I have, they should have seen last night—they would pity me. This letter is quite wet with my tears. Seep this. It will be observed as a remarkable circumstance ;hat throughout the poor woman never once men jons a word about her children.

The Court sat this day at the Guildhall, Westminster, for the purpose of hearing rate appeals. The appeals en tered for hearing were as follows :—The United Kingdom Electric Telegraph Company, against a poor rate of the township of Uxbridge; the Great Central Gas Consumers' Company, against a poor rate of St Mary, Whitechapel ; the Metropolitan Railway Company, against a poor rate of the parish of Marylebone, dated April, 1863 ; and another appeal by the same company against a poor rate of the parish of St Sepulchre, for the year 1863, After a short discussion, the rating of the United King dom Electric Telegraph Company in respect of their station at Uxbridge was confirmed. THE GREAT CENTRAL GAS CONSUMERS' COMPANY, APPEL LANTS; THE PARISH OF WHITECHAPEL, RESPONDENTS. Mr. Clarke appeared for the appellants ; Mr. Metcalfe for the respondents. Mr. Clarke said this was an appeal against a rate made by the overseers of the parish of St Mary, Whitechapel, on the mains only of the Great Central Gas Consumers' Com pany laid down through that parish from the works at Bow common to the City of London,where the gas was consumed The actual expenditure was about £B,OOO, and the company urged that they ought only to be called upon to pay 4 per cent., which would be £320, Mr. Metcalfe having addressed the Court for the parish, called Mr. Lee, who proved that a contractor would require 6 per cent, on the outlay, and that there ought to be £l5O in respect of land, making a total of £530. The Assistant-Judge, after conferring with the other magistrates, reduced the rate to £313, and gave taxed costs incurred since July. THE METROPOLITAN RAILWAY COMPANY, APPELLANTS ; THE PARISH OF ST MARYLEBONE, RESPONDENTS. On this case being called on, Mr. Keane, on the part of the'parish, took a preliminary objection to the appeal being heard. Under a local act of Parliament, the appellants against a [rate were required to go before the vestry and state the grounds of their appeal. In this case the Metropolitan Railway Company merely stated that they appealed against the rate, but offered no reasons why they should not pay it. This omission he held to be fatal, as the .appeal was informal, the vestry being the first tribunal to which the merits of the appeal ought to have been stated. Mr. Metcalfe and Mr. Cripps argued that this court was the proper place where the grounds of the appeal should be heard—that they had given notice of appeal, and were now come, with all their witnesses, prepared to go into the question. The Assistant-Judge held the objection to be fatal, and dismissed the appeal. In the appeal of the Metropolitan Railway Company against a poor rate of St. Sepulchre, the rate was reduced from £1,250 to £397, by consent, without costs ou either side. Mr. Metcalfe appeared for the company, and Mr. Poland for the parish.

INCORRIGIBLE.—Since we first addressed the public, we have had occasion to say a good many unpleasant things about a variety of people, and we should be the last to deny the right of others to criticize us. Our readers know pretty well what sort of phraseology they may expect to find in these columns, and they may be sure that there is no intention of making any change. Be the defects of our vocabulary what they may, they are not likely to be remedied. Those who read thi s journal kn ow it what to expect, and those who do n o t lik e it may lea ve alone.—Saturday Review. LARGE LEGACY TO MR.

RIOT AT GUILDFORD, The soldiers who have, in consequence of the threatened Guy Fawkes riots, been quartered at Guildford for some time, returned on Thursday to Aldershott. Late on Saturday night the " guys" took advantage of their absence to come out. Eighteen or 20 men, armed with bludgeons and dressed as "guys," entered the town from the direc tion of Stoke's-fields, and, proceeding . along the Stoke-road, broke the windows of Messrs. Impey and Bower, two special constables, who had, it seems, given their party some cause of offence. Proceeding to the upper part of the town, they turned round the corner of the Ram Inn, and alarmed the whole neighbourhood with their shouts. They then broke the panels of the shutters and shop windows of Mr. Neale, linendraper, having wrenched the shutters from their places, and broken two large windows each valued at £7O. Nor did the upper windows share a bette r fate. The fram ing was broken, and other p arts of the woodwor k shivered to pieces, and rot a single pane was left whole. This was the work of only a few minutes. w ho is the secretary of the 13th eerCorps, ran in undre ss t o t h e protection of himself and rela property ; but, h app i ly, s M u r r . r l e V y e n al i e fi 's e attempt anything fu p r i t p h eerr, ex-mayor , on the Merrow-road. o n svn a . larm had been given, and the bell of the d t i o v o e r s w h e n he reached t he door the " guys " had gon e in the direction of the house o f Mr. Henry , a m s r h m e o r e u e a l should e o t sV s h ro to: son, , u hilnte ‘ c ‘ t g i o u n y s ' of ' hall was than l A ' loudly rung, when about 20 members of the 21th Surrey Rifles and a number of the - special con stables assembled. An explosion of fireworks and so me shouting being heard in the direction of Chapel-street (lower down the town) they were ordered thither, but there were found nothing de manding their services. At Mr. Piper's the " guys" demanded money, promising that if they received a good round sum they would not injure the house. to Mr. Piper refused give them money, on which they threatened him. He told them that Mrs. Piper was very ill, and begged them to desist, but this entreaty they utterly disregarded, and at once commenced their attack. They completely broke in the front door. The upper and lower windows were also destroyed. The " guys" then disbanded for the night, h ' t rowing away their bludgeons, and even their dresses. Sword sticks and unexploded fireworks were found yesterday morning in the streets. Mr. Weale's and Mr. Piper's premises have since been boarded up.
