MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Affairs in the general discount market remain without the slightest alteration of importance. The inquiry is restricted to immediate requirements, and the rates continue to range as low as 31 per cent for the best descriptions of mercantile paper. During the last few days there has not been much animation in the Foreign and Cilonial Pro duce markets. Prices, however, have generally been well maintained, for all the principal staples, such as tea, sugar, coffee, and rice. Tallow was rather flatter for both present and future delivery, being quoted 425. 901. per cwt. on the spot, and 455. 9d. for delivery on last three months. An interesting little book, entitled " A Serious Fall in the V iiue of Gold Ascertained, and its Social Effects set forth," by Mr. W. Stanley Jevans, M.A., formerly of the Sydney Royal Mint, has just issued from the press. The work treats of the deviations in the value of gold, and the results of its deprecia tion consequent upon the large discoveries of the precious metal in Australia and California. Mr. Jevans believes that the fall in gold is near 15 per cent,, although, fearing the credibility of his readers in this respect, he places its lowest estimate at 9 per cent. Many years, however, he says, must pass before numerical estimates can be properly stated to possess more than a slight degree of probability. Is a remedy needful or possible ? asks the author in chap. 5, and in considering this question, he enquires how far is positive hardship inflicted on annuitants and creditors by depecia tion ? A reduction of real income by 10, 15, or ulti mately by 30 per cent., would sorely press upon the comforts of persons possessing from £5O to £l5O a year, and reduce them in the social scale, unless there were some compensating tendencies. But no one, " I think," says Mr Jevans, " can look at the real progress of affairs in this country, during the period under consideration, without concluding that an alteration of 10,15, or even 30 per cent. is almost swallowed up and rendered inconsiderable among the many improvements and ametiorations, and the general increase of industry, profit - , and general prosperity which is taking place. The removal of legislative restric taons in cheapening and advancing ail proces3es of manufac ture and kinds of food are regarded as having effected the beneficial changes, so apparent during the past 20 years. No person has suffered positive loss of the necessaries and comforts of life by the depreciation of his income, for while the expendi ture on the principal kinds of food has certainly been greater than it was, there has been a correspond ing decrease of expenditure on clothes and in numerable other articles. Thus the author believes that "it cannot be arse, ted or proved that positive hardship, that is, loss of eomfortabie subsistence, is Inflicted upon any person by the present or even a greater depression of gold." The practical good sense with which the book is written cannot fail to render it interesting to the general public as well ne the financier. Two O'CLOCK. At the Paris Bourse this day, accor ding to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes wore 69f. 55c.—firm. Rather more activity has prevailed to-day in the market for the English Funds, and the tendency of prices has been in the ascendant. A better feeling has prevailed, and a few purchases having been effected, Consols have improved to 931 , for money and account. The New Threes and Reduced An nuities steady at 911 1,-; the 30 Years' Annuities at 14 13-16ths ; and the Red Sea Telegraph ditto at 21 9.l6ths ; Bank Stock has improved, being naw marked 234 236; and Exchequer Bills, which are quoted 3s. prem., have also advanced ; Indian Stocks generally remain firm ; the 5 per Cents. at 1091 110; the 5 per Cents. Enfaced Paper at 107;; and the 51 ditto at 1154. The Debentures are a little lower at 1001,; but the Bonds are well maintained at 20s. prem. A very good business has been negotiated today in the Foreign Market, but several of the quotations are rather lower. Greek have declined 288 i f , but the Coupons continued firm at 131 a. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1862, continue at 701 ; the New Loan is quoted 11 prem.; but the Consolides are lower at 47i 481; Italian Securities are also heavy, the 5 per Cents, being marked 701 ; and the New Loan is 11 o prem.; Spanish Passive are buoyant at 30 4 , and the Certificates at 101 1. In the Railway Share Market the operations have again been very limited, and prices have shewn rather less firmness. Brightons and South Easterns have receded 55., and London, Chatham, and Dover 10s. Great Eisterns and Great Westerns, however, have improved 58. The Foreign and Colonial lines have, in one or two instances, been rather fi-rner, Bahia and S an Franci sco b e i ng d ea l t i n at 211 a. Great Luxem bourg at 148 ; Sin Paulo at 231 ; Eastern Bengals declined to 1084 ; E ist Indian advanced to 110 and 110 1 ; Great Southern of India to 1071 ; and Madras 5 per Cents. to 107*.

GROSS CRUELTY TO A PONY.—Robert Gibson, a labour ing man, living in 'Taylor's buildings, Saint Martin's, appeared to answer a charge at the instance of Mr. Win. Love, chief officer of the Royal Society for the Protection of Cruelty to Animals, of cruelty to a pony. From the evidence of Simeon Sell, one of the officers of the Royal Society, it appeared that he saw the defendant driving the puny in a heavy cart, and on examining the pony, which was in a moat wretched condition, he found some large wounds on the blade bone of the n-ar shoulder, one of the wounds having a hole in it large enough to admit an egg. On speaking to the defendant about the conditi , of the pony he said that he had only had it a short time, and that he had been employed by a man to cart half a ton of coals for him. The pony was brought to the front of the court for the magistrate's inspection, and its appearance fully bore out the officer's statement—it was in the most pitiable state, and seemed to be half starved. The defendant said he was willing to have the pony de stroyed. Mr. Tyrwhitt, after making some severe remarks on the defendant's conduct in working a pony in such a state, said that on condition that the pony was at once put out of its misery he should only fine the defendant 10s. or 14 days. The /army was token by the Society's officer to be slaughtered. COMMITTAL WITHOUT A FINE.—ALLEGED ADULTERY. —Daniel Spencer, a rough fellow, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with assaulting Mary Ann Ince, at 10, Rebecca court, Marylebone. From the evidence of the complainant, a young widow, it appeared that on the previous evening she went with her father to the house in Rebecca-court—her father going to claim some articles belonging to him, which had been taken away by his wife, who had left him —when the prisoner, who was sitting in the room, knocked her down, knocked out one of her teeth, and pulled out a knife and threatened to kill her. A low-looking fellow here interrupted the proceedings and was put out of court, the complainant stating that he had also threatened her and her father. William Lovel, of 8, Star-street, Commercial-road, said that his wife having ran away from him and taken several things with her, he went to look for them, and found them in a room in Rebecca-court, where the prisoner and his wife were together. The prisoner knocked him down first, and then his daughter, who had a child in her arms at the time. The prisoner said he had a witness to call. A women here got into thq witness box, and said she was the wife of Lovel. Her husband came in and asked for some things, and the " young man" was at the time toasting some bread. He, husb end then pull-d the " young man's" hair, and her daughter fell on the fender and hurt herself, but she was quite sure the "young man" did not strike her, as the "young man" would not do such a thing, Mr T: twhitt said he did not believe a word the last witness had said. She had every reason to support the prisoner against her husband. should commit the pri• soner for one month, without a fine, for the assault on the fern de, and order him to pay 205., or a month, for the assault on the husband. The woman Lovel seamed very disconsolate at finding the " young man" was going to prison. WESTMINSTER. EXTENSIVE ROB nERIES BY A SELVANT.—Stephen Playle, a w.ifer, was placed at the bar, charged with r. , b biug his master, Mr. John Hunt, of a very valuable breast pin, and also with stealing from Joseph Watling a watch and Albert chain, a purse containing money, and a quantity of wearing apparel. Mr. Hunt sa d that he was proprietor of some dining rooms in Grosvenor-row, Pimlico, and the prisoner had been in hi. service for the last three or four months. On Sunday morning week all the doors of the house were found open, and it was discovered that the prisoner hai absconded. Prosecutor then discovered that the pin had been taken from his scarf. Joseph Watlingford, fellow-servant to the prisoner, said they slept t'gether. On the night of Saturday week they went to bed late, and prisoner saw him winding up his watch, and inquired of him whether it went well, to which he replied in the affirmative. Witness then locked his watch and chain up in his box and put the key in his pocket, and then went to bed. Next morning the box was found open and the loss cf Mr. Hunt's pin discovered, and then witness missed his property. The key of the box was found in witness's pocket, where he had left it. Mr. Arnold asked where the prisoner was taken ? Police-sergeant 14 B said he apprehended him in the country, at his native place, and at his father's house, where he had found part of the stolen property.

EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF AFFILIATION.—THE JEW AND THE GENTILE.—Mr. Perry, clerk to Mr. Buchanan, a solicitor, at' ended to answer an affiliation summons taken out by a young woman, named Mary Ann Thompson, against a wealthy Jew, named Mark Israel, a carcase but cher and cattle dealer, of the Whitechapel Market and the Metropolitan Cattle Market. Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, introduced a very hand some dark-eyed little Jewess, 5 years old, and said Mr, Mark Israel was the father of the interesting stranger, and his client, ,Mary Ann Thompson, a woman very respect ably connected, was the mother. Mr. Israel was a member of the Jewish persuasion, and became acquainted with the complainant nine years ago, and their acquaintanceship ripened into affection. The Jew was received by the com plainant's family as a suitor, and he frequently visited her in John-street, Commercial-road, Church-read, Stepney, atd lastly ia the Globe-road, Stepney, at Rose-place. The defendant's love was vary great for the complainant, but though he avo ded marriage he succeeded in seducing the young and the result of their intimacy was the birth of :he little girl in court on the 23d of March, 1858 Mr Isr el had repeatedly given money to the young woman for the support of his daughter, until six months ago, when he discoutinu.d his payments altogether, and the com plainant had no alternative but to father the girl upon him. Mr. Woolrych—Has money been paid for the maintenance of the girl within the last 12 months ? Mr. C. Young—Yes, sir; he paid her money six months ago, and whet she again applied to him he said, "You must get the money how you can." The complainant confirmed on oath the statement of ber solicitor, and said Mr. Mark Israel was the father of her child. The witness underwent a severe cross-examination front Mr. P. rry. She dense I that she received visits from other gentlemen while Mr. Israel was paying his addresses to her. Mrs. Thom son, the mother of the complainPnt, and re siding in Rose-place, Globe-road, Stepney, deposed to various payments of money by the d.-tendant to her daugh ter, and th it a few days alter the birth of the child he paid visit to the mother of it, and said, ' It's a nice little darky, the most complete little Jewess I ever saw." (Laughter.) ➢lr. Perry was instructed to deny the paternity, and as - serted that the money was given to the young woman out of charity. Mr. Woolrych—Eleemosynary gifts, you mean to say. Your client is a benevolent Jew. (Laughter.) Mr. Perry—Yes, sir. Mr. Woolrych—l adjudge Mr. Isaac Israel to be the father of the child, and make an older upon him to pay 2s 6d. per week, two guineas to Mr. Young for two atten dances at this court, 2s. for the summonses, and 2s, for the order of affiliation.

PRISONS MINISTERS BILL. Sir L. PALK gave notice of his intention to propose an amendment to clause 3._ __ INDIA-SIAM. In reply to Sir J HAT, Sir O. WOOD said there wal no objection on the part of the Secretary to the Admiralty, the Secretary of State for India, and the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, to lay all the available eorrespondence on the table f the house. BURIAL OF SIR J. OUTRAM. Mr. P. WYNDHAM asked the : , ecretary of State for India if it was true that the Indian Government intended to defray the expenses of Sir James Outram's funeral; and if the sergeants of the 78th Highlanders, who volunteered to attend at their own c)st from Folkestone, and did so, would not hava their expenses allowed to them by the Go vernment ? Sir C. WOOD replied that it was only a fitting tribute to the memory of Sir James Outrarn, one of the bravest and most gallant officers connected with any of the public ser vices, that the cost of his funeral should be defrayed out of the public purse. (Rear, hear.) The attendance of the sergeants of the 78th Highlanders was perfectly voluntary and spontaneous ; they desired to testify their respect to their late commander by being permitted to carry him to the grave, and did so at their own expense; but the Government consi dered that they should be reimbursed for their outlay, and it had been refunded to them. (Hear.) CONTAGIOUS DISEASES IN CATTLE AND SHEEP. Mr. GRIFFITH asked the Vice-President of the Privy Council whether he had any objection to lay upon the table of the house the report of the Commis.iocer sent by Go vernment in the course of last autumn to the Continent, to inquire into the existence of sheep and cattle contagious or intectious diseases in foraign countries, and into the liability of their introdaction into this countr3 ? Mr. BRUCE replied that the report, which was a very long one, had been d livered to his department, and was now under its consideration, It would be shortly printed to the house in the form of an appendix to the report of the medical officers. THE AMNESTY IN POLAND. Mr. DENMAN asked the First Lord of the Treasury, whether her Majesty's Government had received any in formation as to whether the amnesty offered by the Em per r of Russia to those engaged in the Polish insurrection was intended to suspend the execution of political prisoners taken eince the commencement of those proceedings of the the Russian authorities which led to the insurrection ? Lord PALMERSTON replied that it was now well known that the Russian Government bad issued a procla mation granting an amnesty. There were some variations in the proclamation issued at St. Petersburg, and that issued at Warsaw. As yet the Government had received no very accurate intot mation as to the correct interpreta tion. There were different interpretations as to the exact purport of th e proclamat i on — one asserting to be in the comp re h ensive sense men ti one d b y his honourable and learned friend ; the other that its intentions were rather restricted. All ho could say was that he hoped the la , gor interpretation was the ju.t one. (Hear hear.) It was impossible not to feel that the Russian Government entertained the sense that its troops in Put lad had unfortunately committed acts of terocious vio lence, end that there was great reason for the enaction of acts of forbearance and mercy in order to set them right wi h the pubic. (Hear, hear ) CHIEF MINISTERS OF STATE IN THE HOUSE OF LORDS. Mr. D. GRIFFITH desiredjask the noble lord (Lord Palmerston), whether he thought it desirable, with a view to the efficiency of the i_ublic service, and respectful to the 1101.183 of Commons, that the chiefs of three departments— namely, the Secretary at 'War, the Chief Secretary of the Admiralty, and the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, should be concentrated in the House of Lords, and this house left to the Under-Secretaries of the three Depart.. ments? (Hear, hear.) _ _ Lord PALMERSTON replied that it had been his en deavour to make the best arrangement he could for the public service, combining as many benefits with as few objections as possible. (Hear, hear.) It would be desirable, 'no doubt, to have the whole of the Secretaries of State in the House of Commons; but all he could say was, that the house would not suffer any incon venience in consequence of the arrangements recently made in regard to full explanations being offered to the house in all xnattera relating to the public service. (Hear, hear.) ADMIRAL WILKES. Mr. ROEBUCK desired to ask the noble lord, the First Lord of the Treasury, a question—but if inconvenient he would repeat it on Thursday—whether the Government had determined upon what line of conduct it would be proper to pursue:with regard to Admiral Wilkes—(hear, hear) — and whether the noble lord had any objection to state the nature of the determination of the Government ? Lord PALMERSTON--I would rather take the ques tion as a notice for a future day. (Laughter.) WOODS, FORESTS, AND LAND RE VENUE OFFICE, &c Mr. A. SMITH. then rose to move for a select committee to inquire into the Office of Woods, Forests, and Land Re venues, and the Office of Works and Public Buildings, and the operation of the Act 14 and 15 Vic. c. 42, by which these were constituted as two separate departments, (LEFT BITTING.)

THOMAS'S HOSPITAL. - A general meeting of the governors of St:Thomas's Hos• pital was held this afternoon at the Terminus Hotel, Lon don-bridge, for the purpose of considering the position of the affairs of the hospital. The minutes of the last meeting of the grand committee having been read, The CHAIRMAN (Sir J. Musgrove) moved that they be confirmed. _ . Mr. ADAMS objected to the motion, because it was im portant that the governors should be all well informed of the exact p )sition of the transacti , ‘ns that had taken place between the governors of St. Thomas's and Bethlehem Hospital. He thought that the extracts from the minutes just read ought to have been printed and sent to the gover nors previous to the meeting. _ Mr. TITS said the only information of importance in the minutes wis the resolution of the board of Bethlehem Hospital, which had appeared in all the newspapers. Mr. ADAMS said it was of the utmost importance that the governors should have had some information as to the business to be transacted that day before coming into the room. He thought the plan of refusing to issue that in formation highly objectionable. Mr. TITE said the business for which the governors were summoned was to hear a communication from Bethlehem Hospital relative to the site and to say what the governors would do. Mr. Currie had made his report to the grand committee as to the cost of erecting an hospital in the country for Bethlehem, and they would have to consider that. The estimate of Mr. Currie, the architect, was then re ceived, which stated that the expense of raising a hospital in the country for Bethlehem, in place of the one now in existence, would be £130,000 for the building , and £20,000 additional for the land, Parliamentary and other expenses, making in all £150,000, against which there would be a set off of £211,000 for the present buildings, boundary wall and railings. inclu ding the a t some length Mr. TITE then addressed the m eeting with respect to the pioceedinge which had taken place between Bethlehem and St. homas's Hospital. The President of Bethlehem Hospital had written to tho Pre. sident of St. Thomas' , saying t hat in the event of a new hospital being built for them in the country, suitable to purposes, they had no objection to enter into negotiations for their present building f or the purposes of St. Thomas's Hospital, but u n n o other terms. Mr. Currie had taken the n; 150 at ter in hand, and his estimate had just been read. The authorities of Bethlehem refused all negotiation ou any tohveergnoovernors could most o ther terms, and for £ 130 ,000 1 krly obtain th e si t e . As the g build a hospital forgovernors could not legally any other bod y but St. Thomas's, he thought if they offered the plans of Mr. Currie, which were now on the table, and th e 160,000 in money to Beth. 324 91f lehem, they would accept the offer, because there would be no difficulty as to procuring a site in the country. The erection of the new St. Thomas's Hos pital would cost £300,0(.0, so that, if it was placed on the site of Bethlehem Hospital, the total ultimate cost would be £330,000. Mr. AD ois said for the first time they had learned how the connection between Bethlehem and St. Thomas's Hospitals arose. Bethlehem had, in fact, never been offered to St. Thomas's by parties outside. They say "We don't want to move;" but St. Thomas's reply, "We have taken a fancy to your site, what will ycu take to turn out?" There had been a great deal of talk about what the removal would cost, but no one seemed to think of what would be lost in leaving their present tem porary site? Why, no less than £30,000 would be sacri ficed, and that would have to be added to the cost of Bethlehem. With respect to the Surrey Gardens, there the site was good, and ventilation perfect, and another ad • vantage was, that if it was decided to adopt the block principal, four blocks out of six could be commenced with out delay or inconvenience. Mr. ELLIOT said the course taken by the grand com mittee was highly inconvenient. They (the c Anmittee) possessed all the information. It was thrown vaguely amongst the governors to-day, and they were asked to adopt it. Such a course ought not to be adopted, but before anything definite was done the fullest information ought to be in th possession of the Governors. The reso lution the Grand Committee proposed to submit to the Go vernors ought to have been printed and circulated Mr. COTTON was in favour of Bethlehem, and advised the Governors not to let the chance slip. A resolution approving of the proceedings of the Grand Committee as far as they had at present proceeded was then agreed to. Mr. COTTON moved the following resolution :—" That the grand committee be empowered to continue the nego tiations with the Governors of Bethlehem Hospital for ob taining the site of that hospital, and to submit proposals to that body either to build for them a new one, in conformity with the plans and estimates prepared by Mr. Currie, the surveyor of St. Thomas's Hospital, or to pay for the site and buildings of Bethlehem the sum of .L 1,50,000, subject to the approval of the Court of Chancery, the sanction of Par liament and of this court." Alderman LAWRENCE said there was no saying what would have to be paid for a site for the new hospital for Bethlehem. Why, it might exceed the estimate by 20, 30, or even 40 thousand pounds. There was no limitation at all to the price to be paid as the resolution now stood. He never knew a lunatic asylum to be completed within the e•Aimate. He should move an amendment to the effect that a short report of the proceedings of the committee be prepared and sent to the governors, and that the same be afterwards taken into consideration at a special court. Mr. ADAMS seconded the amendment. Mr. BAGGALLY said if the price demanded exceeded the estimate, a special court would be called to consider the subject before anything was done. A GOVERNOR suggested that the money be offered to Bethlehem, in preference to erecting the building for them. Mr. TITS said the proposal would be made to erect the hospital according to the plan. A GOVERNOR suggested that words " at a cost not ex ceeding £150,000, including the site," be introduced into the resolution. This was accordingly done, and the resolution was agreed to, Alderman Lawrence withdrawing his amend ment. Theproceedings then terminated. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. NEWMARKE I' RACES—This DAY.

I therefore beg that you will kindly arrange with the Mayor of Preston so that the two meetings may be held on consecutive days, of which you will be good enough to give me timely notice. You ask me to state beforehand what, in my °Onion, should be the sense and beating of the resolutions which, adopted by influenti tl meetings in Great Britain, would be Lest calculated to benefit my country in her present struggle for independence. I have, in answer to that question, no hesitation in say ing that the resolutions adopted at the Manchester public meeting on the 24th ult. are upon the whole gratifying and satisfactory. But I see that many, especially among the members of both Houses of Parliament, express strong doubts as to the expediency of " suspending dip emetic in tercourse with Russia," in consequence of her permanent violation of treaties. In one respect, I might agree with them as to its not being what is more urgently required for for the situation. To denounce and suspend all diplomatic intercourse with Russia would, undoubtedly, be inflicting on her Govern ment blame, and so far punishment. But it would hardly alleviate the burden now weighing upon Poland. The sus pension by England of diplomatic intercourse with Russia would prove satisfactory in as far as it might be adopted by several other European Powers, thus placing Russia beyond the pale of public law. But it would be only a negative measure, and not amount to what I strongly be lieve to be the duty of both the Government and the people of England, as well as of all other Powers which were par ties to the treaty of Vienna. Their bounden duty, I must be permitted to say, their bounden duty it is, to keep silence no longer in presence of what is passing in Poland ; —for ' silence in presence of crime," as a grea t stat rhe t of yours (Lord Lyndhurst) said, "is participation crime." Y w hich, during a and barba- What, then, should England say sit:p s i this What I sanctioned, in 1815, upon conditions Lord Palmer pstearniodstoaftendeattr:y `systematically, 1 1 1 'easnction no more.

Y extinct th 1 now declare that domi nio n at possession un lawful, and, as the consequence, I acknowledge as lawful t of independence the Poles may any ernou n succeed in establis hi n g by their national struggle. I do so without further delay, because I wish the Poles s they will find additional strength in the success, and hope of their right, a right which could early recognon inas much as the Poles accepted the only cease to exist for its forfeit, inasmuch as thatcompensation offered them sacred and inviolable. But above compensation remained what is right, I free my all, I do so, because doing conscience from all further soli darity in the unfair enforcing of certain provisions of a treaty while other and neu 1 do so, in most essential provisions are set at my own name, wishing for the con currence, by a similar act, of all the powers who were parties to the Treaty of Vienna ; but I do not wait for that Concurrence, trusting that the most speedy and certain mode of obtaining it is to set the example." Such sentiments, publicly addressed to all the Powers of Europe, while they would leave England free further to act or to abstain, as she would judge best, would in either case nerve my countrymen to make every effort in their power, with fervent trust in God's mercy, and with the certainty, at least, that cur national independence will be recognised in as far as we succeed in enforcing it upon our enemies. — I have the honour to be, sir, your obliged and - humble .

Shannon, which sailed from New York on the Bth inst., and called at Queenstown yesterday evening to land mails and passengers, arrived here about 4.30 this afternoon, bringing 175 passengers and 153,588de15. in specie on freight. NEW YORK, April 8. The following is the " situation," froru the New York Herald of AFril 8: There is nothing new from the army of the Potomac I'ne snow has disappeared, but the roads ale in a frigl:tful condition. By an arrival from Hilton Head we learn that the town forces of tner Colonel Jacksonville, lu Florida, tst; "ais burn: <l by the n forr Union attempt of the rebels to shell it and murder ail the Union inhabitants. The bread riot which took place in Richmond on lltursday is very significant of the condition t o which rebellion is reduced. If the people of that city are compelled to break open the public atoms to obtain bread, what must be the state of the inhabitants of those districts which produce bat little food, and raise mainly cotton or tobacco ? Virginia is the most fruitful raising State in the South, and is to the eastern portion of it what Tennessee and Kentucky are to the West, and if the want of fcod manifests itself in such a demon strative fashion as to bring out a hungry mob of 3,000 women into the streets of the capital, we can readily imagine how dire must be the distress existing in the other States. We learn by despatches from Nashville, dated yesterday, that Gen. Mitchell, with 350 cavalry, went out on the Lebanon pike to Green Hill, and dashing into a rebel camp where there was a large number of conscripts, on the sabre charge he took 15 prisoners, killed five, and captured all their arms, horses, and equipments. Gen. Rosencrans' despatches to the War Depart ment, under date Monday, state that Gen. Stanley completely whipped the rebel guerillas of Morgan at Snow Hill, capturing about 50 prisoners and 300 horses. Tae following are all the despatches received concerning the attack on Charleston : NEWS VIA FORTRESS MONROE. Fortress Monroe, Saturday, April 4. Yesterday's _Richmond Dispatch contains the fol lowing startling news from the South Carolina coast : "The enemy have landed in force on Seabrook's or John's Island. Three gunboats and transports are lying eff the island. Skirmishing has already taken place between our and the e n e my's pickets. Our pickets are driven in and the enemy advancing. " General Haygood has ordered all the women, children, and non-combatants removed from Adam's Run, which is 20 miles from Seabrook's Island." The Dispatch also says—" Pensacola was fired by the Uniou soldiers about the 23d ult., and the most of the town destroyed. The soldiers are going to reinforce General Banks." Dospatches received from Fortress Monroe state that Charleston papers have been received there. They acknowledge that the attack by the Federal army and navy on that city had been commenced, but contain nothing indicating whether the move ments of our forces have met with success or other wise- It is fair to infer that if the latter had been the case they would have announced it. It is generally believed in official quarters that no reverse has been sustained by our troops or our fleet, and there is the best reason t..) believe that t he loyal North will soon be electrified by the gratify ing announcement of the capture and occupation of Charleston. The following despatch is from the I?ichmond Examiner of Sturdy : " Charleston, Thursday, April 2. " There are no signs thus far of the expected attack. There has been no landing in force on any of the islands below, as reported. " The skirmish on Seabrook's Island was between a few independent scouts and a scouting party from a Yankee gunboat." The following additional despatches are pub lished in the New York j'lurnals : Washington, April 7, 1863. It is officially known here that the United States fleet of guuboats and iron-clads left Port Royal on Wednesday last, and would probably reach the scene of operations Tnursday evening. Up to three o'clock this afternoon nothing further was known of their movements. Washington, April 7 (Evening). The military and naval authorities have been hourly expecting to•day official information in re gard to sfflirs at Charleston. It is officially known that our fleet of gunboats and ironclads left Port Royal on Wednesday, April 1. It was expected that they would be in position to make the attack the following day. The rebel rumours that have reached us allege that the attack was made on Thursday. If it had been un successful we should assuredly have had a full account of it from that source. The ample preparations made induce the heads of the War and Navy De partments to believe that success has attended the combined efforts of our army and navy at-that point. So much confidence is felt here in this re spect that a prominent naval officer last night put up 5,000 dols. as a wager that Charleston had becu taken by our forces, and could find no takers. A special despatch from Helena, dated the 3d inut., says that advices from General Quimby's ex pedition to the 30th ult. state that no progress had been made in the reduction of Fort Greenwood. Our forces were still in front of the enemy, and there had been considerable skirmirhieg between the pickets on shore. The rebels wero improving the time by greatly increasing the strength of their works. They have received and mounted more heavy guns, and are well supplied with ammunition. It is the opinion of well-informed (Aare that our gunboats will not succeed in taking the torpedoes by The o regimentscountry along rebel the cavalry,'l' guerillas.

Colonel Stewart, of.the 2d Indiana Regiment, one of the 14 United States officers just released by the rebels, who has just arrived here, makes the follow ing statement : " On Thursday last he saw from his prison win dow in Richmond a great bread riot, composed of about 3,000 women, who were armed with clubs, and guns, and stones. told flat tn. stores,' l'haenydbtroookke bread, ,t clothing, t a h o i : g er , n a m n d e n w t they wanted.
