Mr. IIENNEs37 has at all times show n bi mge i f to be a most energetic po t3C 1117. lie fs not cue of those lai,lsez alger sort of indi7l:.. 7 uals who rest sa ti,. fled with anything so long as they themselves are left in peac4. Whether he discourses upon the wr.3IS,S or injuries cf Poland, cr seeks other topics of interest and importance, he is always energetic and enthusiastic. On Tuesday last he had a very congenial subleot on Which to descant, and it Was a question a!so which i 3 cloce:y connected with the most vital interests of his own country, and should, therefore, engage the attention of all who are con cerued in the legislation of the British Empire. Thetete.te and condition of Ireland have for a long period been sources of anxiety and apprehension to the Cabinet, the Parliament, and the country gene rally. Sir RoDEP.T FEU emphatically declared that 'lreland wax his clia;ulty." Succeeding statesmen have felt the same embarrassment, if they have riot had the candour and courage to own it. The present Ministry have not been at all happy in their attempts in this locality, nor did they deserve to be successful where so many wiser and greater men had failed before them, for they seem to have gone out of their way an many occasions to irritate and annoy the Irish, and that, toff, without any special cause for interference which could justify the risk of offending prejudices and provoking ill will. The Irish members have often alluded to the want of courtesy which has been s!_town to them, and still the same tactics are displayed, their griev ances are treated with derision, and their indigna tion meets nothing but contempt. In some cases, indeed, the authorities have gone so hr that they have had to draw back from their decisions, as in the instance of the Galway contract, which was so abruptly terminated, and in a m anner that gave so much offence. They appear, however, to have gained wisdom from experience in some degree, for the tone of the debate the other night was conspicuous for the absence of that ascerbity and exaggeration so apt to be apparent when Irish questions are on the tapis. Mr. HENNESSY called particular attention to the condition of Ireland at the present time, and especially to the serious evils that arise from the agricultural population leaving the country. It is unfortunate that the division on the point was adverse to the proposal of Mr. HENNESSY; but it does not by any means follow that no result will ensue therefrom, for the discus sion which was raised upon it has drawn attention to the subject, and at a future period we may mark the good efEcts that it has produced. At all events, no one denied the truth of the hon. member's pre mises, if they did not exactly accord with the con clusions he drew from them. The fact is that the unwillingness which is universally felt to making any changes or alteration in a system is so over whelming in its influence, and that unless any spee cial event or untoward incident calls for steps to be taken without delay, little or no heed is paid to the arguments, entreaties, and expostulations of pres cient observers or earnest reformers. A private member can seldom manage to induce the Treasury benches to listen to him when he proclaims the wrongs or animadverts upon the injustice which he has seen, and which imperatively call far a remedy. If only a portion of Mr. HENNESSY'S recital were true there would still exist ample grounds for the enforcement of some remedial change. The emigra tion now taking place is greater than at any period for ten years, and this in itself is a very telling fact against the efficacy of existing legislation. It must produce most disastrous effects, and exercise a deice riorating influence on the welfare of the country, for . it to be subjected to this constant drain upon its resources. It has been said— " 11l fares the land to hastening ills a prey, Where wealth accumulates, and men decay." If the former allusion does not apply to the prospects of Ireland, it has the additional drawback of having to encounter the evil, unmitigated by adventitious circumstances. The suggestions made by Mr. HEN • NESSY seem to be worthy of notice. Men will not stayat home if they see others rusleingabroad,noless some inducements are offered to them. For this the proposal to reclaim waste lands is an admirable one. Sir R. PEEL affirmed that immense quantities had been appropriated, but there is no reason why all should not. Another good idea was that public works should be organised, but this did not seem to be much thought of. When it is considered, however, that by this means employment wou!d be given to vast numbers, and that many restless and dissatisfied persons would bzcome settled and satis fied in their own country, it seems a pity that nothing should be done, Lord PALMERSTON did not address himself to the subject wi.h co much cordiality as Sir ROBERT PEEL. He seemed rather impatient with the whole thing, and glad to fall back o - a the resources of his strength to put down the attempt at interference with legisla tion. Lord J. MANNERS very properly said that he thought the " hon. member for King's County had met with rather hard measures from the Govern ment." The conclusion to be drawn from the speeches of the Government members who tcok part in the debate seems to be that great evils undoubtedly exist in Irelend, and that it would be well if they could be rectified, but they also seem to imply that they are not at present prepared to do anything to improve the state of affairs, and also do not intend to assist others in the task of reform. Such a course of action is hardly in unison with the reauirements of men in their responsible position, and it is not thus that they will gain the confidence of Ireland nor the respect of England. They make the grave mistake of looking upon the subject as an irksome task they are glad to shirk, and not as a solemn duty which they are called upon to perform with the utmost ability and earnestness. Amid all the changes and chances which die anguish one Parliamentary session from another, some events recur with unvarying pertinacity. Year by year some subjects are brought up for the mere sake of reminding the world of their existence. Year by year they pass through the customary forms and quietly sink into üblivion for another twelvemonth. We all know how long this pro gramme was followed by Mr. Vieuens and his Anti-Corn Law resolutions, and now Mr. BERKE LEY in his advocacy of the Ballot seems to be the champion of as apparently hopeless a cause. Perhaps indeed the case of the Ballot is even more desperate than the principl es o f F ree T ra d e ever were, s i nce the latter was m ore of a national question on which men differed as m ac h from principle and conviction as from anything else. The Ballot is a personal to it, in t oo many mat ter, and the f uetvuoerbreeyeetmi ne elections,m ter in stances, arises from a well-f oun d ed misgiving as to its effect upon Of course we are not charging who friend opposes i 1 r r y . need lees BERKELEY'S motion with being 4 and corruption, but there is very Often an undefined idea that matters are best left as they are, and that any interference with the existing system is d . lees and undesirable. Yet ro one pretends th a t by our present course we can boast of securing the purity of election. No one is sanguine or simple enough to believe that the whole expense of an election lies in the regular fees. No one supposes that no more money changes hands than is abso lutely necessary, or that interest and influence, that patrons,employers, and landlords have no share in the matter. Pocket boroughs were not all dis , franchised in 1832, although ono of the great leaders of that day now tells his followers ".o rest and be thankful." But a general who desires his forces to sit down when the battle is half won, does not inspire much confidence in his own troop, nor does he strike much terror into the hearts of his enemies, especially when a very important part of the work remained to be done. Mr. BERKELEY, who, in consideration of the approaching election broke th rough his usual rule and addressed the House, refer re d to this farizus aphorism. He said the noble lord had a right to call upon them to be thankful for his exertions, but when he told all other reformers to sit still the advice savoured of absurdity. Were there, then, asked the hon. mem ber, no abuses to redress, no evils to get rid of ? Had England become Utopian ? According to the ace count given by Mr. .- - RRI: EELEY, eelreh there is n o reason to think evggerattd, it is very like the TIM SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE 23, 1861. Utopia of Bribery and Treating. The act at present existing to secure the purity of elections is a mere dead letter. It compes the candidate to appoint recognised agents, and any act of bribery, intimida tion, or corruption proved against them or against himself made the election void. But he must be a very simple mortal who does not see without the telling, that while one or two immaculate agents keep strictly within the letter and spirit of. the law, u dozen unrecognised and unofficial emissaries may be promising, treating, and feasting to their heart's content. No one can prevent the candidate's friends from working on his behalf, no one but the friends themselves can prove when the little sum given in recognition of their services is handed over to them, and if we are to wait until they are sufficiently frank and disinterested to come forward with that informaticn, we fear that purity of elections is yet a long way off. The strongest opponents of the Ballot do not pretend to say that our elections are what they should be. Lord PAL MERSTON himself discreetly left that point out of his very inconclusive arguments. Mr. BERKELEY said that that all he asked for the Ballot was a fair trial, and he might have retorted the favourite accusation of his adversaries, and have added that it was " un-English" to refuse it. But is fact, as the hon. gentleman observed, " assertion is no argu ment." It is very easy to declare that the Ballot would entirely fail to do what it has done in every country where it has been fairly tried ; to declare that it would have no effect in stopping bribery and protecting against intimida tion, but if so why not settle the matter by giving practical proof. Why not let the supporters of the Ballot be convinced by practice ? No very great harm could ensue if the experiment proved a signal failure; it could scarcely Make mate ters worse than they are now. How many of the members of this very high-minded and honourable house would like to lock too closely into the full details of their electioneering agents, paid and un paid, official and unrecognised? But the very fact of the Ballot being so much needed is the greatest obstacle to its introductior. Members and chiefs of parties are afraid to trust to unieflaenced voting, and Lord PALMERSTON, its open and recognised enemy, does not attempt to deny that our elections need reform, but contents himself with assertions that it would be useless. First, the noble lord says that it would be necessary to make it penal for a man to say how he was going to vote; next, he declares it would be no good to have ballot boxes, because " it is nut to impossible that a majority of electors should vote by ballot without their votes being known. He further argued that it would be tlo protection against bribery and intimidation, be cause the landlord or customer might go to a man before or after the election and ask about his vote, when, if he refused to answer, the landlord or cuss tomer would know the worst, and that "you might go to an elector and say, ' Here is Lo or £lO. I trust to your honour—you shall have the money if you promise to vote for so and so, but not others wise." Lord PALMERSTON is of opinion that the electors would keep their promise, and thus the merit of the Ballot is at an end. It is somewhat surprising that instead of " Hoar, hear" following this declaration we do not read "Laughter." Does the noble Premier, after his long experience of the world and its ways, really believe business, espe cially dishonest business, to be carried on in this Quixotic fashion ? Certainly thero is an old adage about " honour among thieves" which comes to mind, but still it must bo a somewhat credulous candidate who would trust so magnanimously to the good faith of a bribed elector when he could not even reproach the man for his dishonesty. If candidates and agents like to waste their money let them do so, and these very "English" electors who keep their word so strictly in law breaking may profit by another old adage about some people and their money being soon par ed, but the Ballot has a right to a trial for all that. 'The man who takes bribes will neither stop for falsehoods nor for broken pledges, and so the world at large very well knows, But since Lord PALMERSTON stands forwardas the logical annihilator of the Ballot, let him answer us one question—Why is it mkt sively adopted in the clubs ?

Advices from the blockading fleet announce the capture of the U.S. steamer Water Witch by a force of Confederates from Fort M'Allister, Georgia, who boarded the vessel with launches during the night. The Water Witch was a regulsr navy built vessel carrying five guns, and very fast. An expedition was fitting out at Port Royal to endea4 your to recapture or destroy her. The following resolution was adopted on the 3d inst. in the Confederate Senate :—" Resolved, that the President be requested to make an exposition, through our commissioners abroad, to the various European Powers, to which they may be accredited of the violations of the roles of civilised warfare and outrages committed by the armies and Govern ment of the United States in the prosecution of hostilities against the Confederate States." In the Federal Senate Mr. Powell moved to take up the bill prohibiting military interference with elections. The bill was defeated. Mr. Larn, of Kansas, offered a resolution recog nising the legitimacy of the loyal State and Govern ment of Arkansas. The Baltimore Convention on June Bth nomi nated Mr. Lincoln and Andrew Johnston, of Ten nessee, for the Presidency and Vice-Presidency. The Platform adopted a series of resolutions de claring that the rebellion shall be suppressed, and no terms from the South listened to other than un conditional surrender, and a return to their alle• glance to the constitution of laws of the United States. Other resolutions embraced an enforce ment of the Monroe Doctrine, and the abolition of slavery by constitutional amendment. Another resolution endorsed the course of the present administration. At a meeting of a M'Clellan Democratic club of New Jersey, Mr. W. Cornell Jewett, well known for his exertions to secure European intervention, offered a series of resolutions, which were adopted, nominating for the Presidency and Vice-Presidency General George B. M'Clellan and Milliard Fillmore, and declaring that the war, if it must. be continued, shall only be prosecuted with a view to preserve the constitution and union, independent of slavery ; that the liberty of speech and the press shall be maintained; that all slave confiscations and othEr proclamations, and Congressional acts connected therewith shall be rendered null and void ; that the people of the United States shall vote upon the re. cognition of Maximilian's Government in Mexico; that coloured troops shall be withdrawn from the field, and that a cessation of hostilities should be proclaimed, during which commissioners from the different States, North and South, can meet to de termine upon a just mode of settling the existing difficulties by arbitration or otherwise; the final result to be submitted to the voice of the people by ballot.

A capital book of its cdd kind is this anecdotal chit-chat about himself and his belongings given to us (as just a taste or flavour of his autobiography) by the biggest and josialist among our popular Low Comedians. As about the best word we could say for it—we immediately on getting it read through the whole of the thin giltseeged volume in which Paul relates his "Recollections and Wanderings," we read through the whole of it from cover to cover, if not literally at a single sit ting (seeing that we began the reading of it in the street), at any rate, right off, at one innings, on end, or however we may like to put the fact idiomatically, a fact that Sim Slick would express in Y Inkee lingo by the term—at a single streak. Ceuekling not i frigusntly es he turns the leaves, anyone else who has a keen relish for, we won't say exactly wit, but we will nes hesitatingly say for a capital bit of fun, may do the like, with great profit to his digestion. From cover to cover, that is, the reader of Paul Bedford's souvenirs may skim lightly and pleasantly through his amusing recollections from the lifelike frouthpiece representing Paul Bedford in propria persona (of course with an open overcoat, of course with his hat on, the said hat having just the faintest perceptible cock over the left ear) from the frontispiece, we say, down to the last words of the book ending so very characteristically ! We may fancy we hear the words trolled out in a deep bass voice, rather guttural in its intona tions, "And now, my fostering friends and patrons [meaning the kyind public'] allow me to subscribe myself —your devoted boy—PAUL." It is just for al: the world the very kind of a book that wo should have looked for at the hands cf our devoted boy Paul, in the happy event (now realized) of his jotting do ?en his professional souvenirs. The ' only fault is—there is not by any means enough of it. Like Friar Bacon's brazen head in the old pantomime, now that we have tasted so much, we are clamorous for " more !" And, no matter at what uncertain intervals, just as Gri maldi used to feed the Brazen Head with " more" —we shall really hope to taste a few supplementary tidbits of the same relishing kind, vouchsafed to us (to devour just precisely in the same way, off hand, and with an almost audible smack of the lips), vouchsafed to us benignantly by a sort of an after-thought, by our exhilarating friend Paul--Paul with the stalwart form, and the purple face, and the deep voice, and the irresistibly winking eyelids ! At any rate, for es much of his recollections es he hero obliges us with spontane ously, he merits at once our thanks and our congra tulations. Who, indeed, shall venture to say that he is not entitled to our congratulations, seeing that the book reveals himself (the writer of it) as the per sonal associate (among a crowd of other celebrities) of men of mark as illustrious and as varied in their genius as Edmund Kean, as the Emperor Napoleon 111. when Prince Louis Napoleon, as Lord Byron, as Madame Malibran, as Sir Walter Scott, and Madame Catalain, and Daniel O'Connell ! Yes—be it now known and henceforth borne honourably in remem brance, not only that Paul Bedford esso ciated with these and a great number of other famous and gifted people, but that some among them he knew intimately, with some amongst them he enjoyed the Ingh and enviable privilege of an earnest and cordial friendship. For one thing, by the way, we can't fancy any man being—seriously —an enemy of Paul Bedford's. We don't know him in the least personally. But, at any rate, we can say that. The word Enmity and the name of Paul Bedford somehow or another seem incompatible, incapable of any association whatever ! Tee caupiing of the two gives one upon the instant a notion of the ludicrous ! However here, in honest black and white, are proofs positive of his friendships. About the earliest recorded among these being his intimicy with one of the greatest aet,ra that ever breathed (of whom Paul Bedford tells many a peasant anecdote), meaning that world famous G2iliUS of Tragedy, E imund Kean, Paul's first setting eyes. upon Edmund Kean, as the former relates, occurred on the stage of the Bath Theatre in "Richard III."--Paul Bedford as the Duke of Norfolk, Kean as Richard—the scene Bos worth's I3attlefield! There it is that the King sks— " Hes any careful friend Discovered yet the numbsr of the rebels ?" Norfolk—My lord, as I from spivs em well informed, Six or seven thousand is (heir utmost power. Rickard —Wlay our battalia trebles that account; Besides, the king's name is a tower of strength, Which they upon the adverse faction want. No2 - folk.—Their wants are greater yet, my lord, those e'en Of motion, life, and spirit—Did you but know How wretchedly their man disgrace the field ; Oh, such a tattered host of mounted scare-crows So poor, so famished ; their Pxecutors, The greedy jack dates, fly hovering o'er their heals, Impatient for their lean inheritance. Now, fir my misfortune. Whin I uttered the words, "Jack Daws," the audience were convulsed with laughter, in which mirth the wondrous "Richard" joined. I could not imagine what caused this merriment, Lw was very soon illuminated on the point, for on quitting the stage my patron manager came to me iu terror, saying, " My dear, you com mitted a great error." Why so, sir ?" said I. " Why, my dear, you mistook the name of the bird. It should have been the greedy crows.' " " Oh, pray, sir, forgive me," said I, for my alarm was so great at the moment, I knew not what I said. " But, my dear," said my manager, "what will the great' Mr Kean say to it ?" I said, " I am sure I don't know. I suppose I shall have my marching ticket signed." When the tragedy ended amidst a hurricane of applause, rushed to my dressing-room, and commenced changing my gar ments, hoping to escape from the theatre unnoticed; but before I had completed my toilet, a knock was heard at the door. " Who is there ?" said my attendant. A voice from without replied, by saying "Mr. Kean requested Mr Bed ford would come to his dressing-room betore he leaves the thcat: e." At that summons I became nervously excited. I approached the dreaded chamber, under the impression of instant dismissal. But not so ; for on entering the room and imploring forgiveness for the mistake I had committed, the kind and wondrous tragedian said, " Make no apology, my young friend, for you made me laugh more heartily tLan I have done for years " He concluded by in viting me to dine with him she following day, which event commenced a friendship that ceased not during the lifetime of that inspired dramatic genius. There:forth Bedford, obtaining among his other well known sotriquets, that of "Jack Daw Paul." Conspicuous among the revelations here made by this " unbuzzuming" of Paul's, as he might call it himself pre-eminent among them all in its importance—should stand the remarkable dis closure made by our comic hero of the fact that the phrase of phrases that he has most signally immortalised by his mere manner of uttering it, wes interpolated by Mr, Buckstone ir. the original manuscript of Green Bushes, at the suggestion of the late Mr. T. P. Cooke ! That paragon among theatrical sailors, inimitable not only in his vast heaving and his hornpipe, but in the very hitch of his trousers, in the very turn of the quid in his cheek ! And—the phrase hinted at ? Why every one will surely recognise the allusion as pointing . to no other Bedfordian or Paulo post, past, present, and, we had alm ost said ,future phrase than—" I believe you , W Y b°7 he origin of it being this. accordingt? sah Paul's p o a w u n i account of it, in the mann er following BedfJrcl The world• wide and domestic phrase of "1 b e li eve you, my boy," was indicated to the talented author by that Tar of all nations, the late T.

To the slice itself in its integrity, cs hcre served up for twos© who list, we commend the attention of all lovers of such good things as theatri cal small-talk end green-room facetiousness.

THE YELVEItTON CORRESPONDENCE, oppor ttmely collected and edited by the respondent in the great case now before the House of Lords, has been published in form of a pink volumette of 208 pages, by Thomas Laurie, of Edinburgh. The publication is wonderfully complete in itself, end throws a flood of light over this extraordinary romance founded on reality. The little book Is embellished " with portraits from drawings by Major and Mrs. Yelverton," so says at least the title-page—thereby, rather ambiguously giving us to understand, as we take it, that the portraits arc drawn each one of, or by the other! Altogether the bcok containing this wonderfully clever and interesting correspondenc e is as enthralling, in its way, as many a novel writ ten (after the manner of famous works like " BIM"; phrey Clinker," "Evelina," "The Dodd Family, and "Guy Mannering") in the form of letters. It is singularly readable and—though about love, and often intensely about it—readable throughout. A POPULAR GUIDE TO THE GREAT NORTHL-RN RAILWAY, in 87 pages, has recently been issued from the press by Messrs. Smith and Son, of 185, Strand—the compilation (as with one or two similar guide books, each of them very well known) of George Rose Emerson. As evidence of the cora pilei's quality as a cicerone along the north line, take th© follou ing : Once more the eye ranges over the fields and undulat ing hills, and rests on the round tower of Knebworth, above the trees of the wooded park—Knebworth, the residence of Sir E. Eulwer Lytton, the accomplished and popular poet , novelist, dramatist, and orator, of whom it may be truly said, " He has touched nothing which he has not adorned." The mansion at Knebworth is worthy of a man of letters and taste. There are pictures, antiquities, treasures of art, and objects of historic interest, and charming grounds, where the author of the "Disowned" may enjoy the attrac tions of delightful sylvan scenery, and glades sombre enough for even the teller of the " Strange Story." The church , dedicated to the Virgin Mary, is in the centre of the park. and contains several monuments of the Lytton family.

Britannia—Can you tell me, child, what you are Little Johnny-1 am a very small member of a very weak Cabinet, in a very great country. Britannia—How do you account for having become this member? Little Tohnny—By reason of the name which I inherited from my fathers and my grandfathers at my birth. Britannia--Did they give you anything else at your birth which should fit you for your present post ? _ . _ Little Johnny—Yes ; the talent of sacrificing everything to keep it, and of providing for all EV relations and friends. Britannia—Have you any other higher dntics Little Johnny—No. Britannia—On, poor Johnny ! how sadly you have been neglected. Tell me, child, how did you expect to keep in office ? Litde JJhnny—By preserving Denmark and keeping the pezce. Britannia—And what have you done ? Little Johnny—Dismembered Denmark, and in volved this country in war. Britannia—And will this keep you in (Bee P Little Johnny—No ; bou-hou—it will turn me ont. Britannia—Who bates you more than the Ger• mans P Little Johnny—The Danes. Britannia—Who laughs at you more than Bis• mark ? Little Johnny—The Emperor of the French. Britannia.—lf you go to war without him, what will happen ? Little Johnny—We shall blockade all the German ports, and keep out our own commerce, and every thing will go into Germany through France, and American cruisers under the German flag will destroy our commerce, and the French will carry the trade of the world and get the Rhine provinces, an we shall probably go to war with the United States, and we shall not be able to send enough troops to turn the Germans out of Denmark—so that the war cannot be a success, and if it is, success will be worse than failure. Britannia—Naughty boy ; did you sea all this at the beginning P Little Johnoy—No ; I never could see very far Britannia—Well, you have got matters into a great mess; but pay attention. You want to revenge yourself on Prussia ? Little Johnny—Oh, yes. Britannia—And y ou think you can do it by goiDg to war against Germany ? Little Johnny—Yes: Britannia—Silly child. Do you know that the Emperor will not go with you unless you separate Ftderal Germany from despotic Prussia; that Bism marck wants to see Hamburg blockaded bi English ships; that to fight against the principle of nationality in Holstein makes the co-operaticil of the Emperor impossible ? But you can support independent Holstein and Germany against the tyranny of Prussia, and get the Emperor to assist you against Prussia, and get a better line for the Dines, besides humiliating Prussia. My dear bof, 1 know German politics are rather difficult to under stand, but, before going to war, you really must have a clear idea of who is your enemy, and how you ca❑ best damage him. If you go to war with Germany, you fight against your best ally. If you go to war for Germany, you will destroy Pruesia, and get far better terms in the end for Derimirl§.. If you had cnly asked somebody who knew about it at the beginning, you might have saved yourself this lesson, which will make everybody laugh tit you. LORD ABINGER AND HIS BUTLER,—At the Hammersmith police-court yesterday, Samuel Han son, a tall young man, butler to the Dowager Lady Abinger, of 33, Queen's Gate-terrace. Kensington, was placed in the dock before Mr Ingham, charged with being drunk and assau:ting Lord Abinger. William Harris said be was a servant to Lord Abinger. On Tuesday night his lordship went out to a party, and prisoner had to wait up for his return. The prisoner asked witness to take his place for a short time as he wanted to go our, and he complied with his request. H e dozed for He ran upstairs and a few naiautes, nd found his and he was awo ke, by hearing n g a lordship and the prisoner fighting together in the entrance hall. Witness tried to part them, and after some time he s ucceeded, and the prisoner went down stairs. His lord ship requested witness to fetch a policeman. The prisoner then ran upstairs into his lordship's dressing-room. Witness followed after him and saw him striko his lord ship, and they fought again. They both struck one another. The prisoner struck the first blow, but witness did not know which struck first in the hall. Witness held the prisoner while his lordship ran out and fetched two constables. Thay came and took the prisoner in charge. Police•constable 226 T said, at half-past eleven o'cleck on Tuesday night he was on duty in Queen's Gate-terrace, when ho was called by his lordship to take the prisoner into custody. The prisoner had been drinking. He was under the influence of liquor. Mr Ingham—Partly drunk. \Vas Lord Abinger sober ? Constable—Yes, your worship ; the prisoner said his lordship struck him first. Mr Ingham—Did you see any marks of violence upcn his lordship? Constable- Yes, cir ; his nose was cut and there was blood upon his shirt. Mr Ingham (to the prisoner)—Do you wish to say se) .- thing ? The Prisoner—l am very sorry it happened. I was not the instigator of it. A 9 to being under the influence of liquor, I was as sober as I am now. His lordship came home from a dinner party, but I do not know whether he was sober or not. Me Ingham (to Harris)—What do you say ; were they reber or not ? Witness—My opinion is that they were both sober. Th e prisoner sv;;s very excited. Mr Ingham (to the constable) —How do you know that the prisoner had been drinking ? Constable—He appeared so.

THE ALABAMA.—At the news of the deetructieu of the Alabama (says the Courrier cicc Iravre), the North American vessels in this port dressed themselves out with flags as a tokqA of rejcicino. Marshal Pelissier on Russian Barbarism, The la►e Marshal Pelissier had a great regard for Colonel Sigismund Sierakowski, who, it will be remembered, was one cf the first victims of Mcura vieff during the Polish insurrection last year. The marshal made the acquaintance of the gallant Polish officer in Algiers, whither Sierakowski had been sent by the Russian Minister for War, Milutyn, for the purpose of studying the criminal code of the French army. When he first presented himself to the marshal the latter received him coldly, thinking ho was a Russian, but on learning he was a Pole he immediately changed his manner, and conceived such a liking for him that the next day ho offered him apartments in his palace, where they frequently passed the evening together in conversation on the Crimean war, the state of the Russian army, and the reforms which Sierakowski was about to in troduce into it. On terminating his mission Ste rakowski returned home. The insurrection broke out a few weeks after, and his heroic achieve. ments in the insurgent army, so suddenly put a stop to by his dreadful death, are well known. "I shall never forget," said one of the late marshal's aide-de camp in Paris the other day, " that evening on which a bundle of the last Paris papers, which had just arrived from Mar seilles by the mail boat, was brought to the marshal. There were several of us assembled in the drawing room, and each taking a paper eagerly devoured the news of the Polish insurrection. Suddenly the marshal, who was reading the "'aerie, struck the table a tremendous blow with his fist, and broke the silence with his stentorian voice, exclaiming, 'Mais irfest une horreur, c'est une infamie Being as yet ignorant of what had occurred, we all turned round ' with surprise, and observed an expression of ex treme indignation and anger on the marshal's face. bien,' he continued after a pause, vous avez tons connu et aims, comma moi, ce brave officier Sierakowski, qui a e'e ici ranee: passe—lo mal henreux jeune Lomme, it n'existe plus! Mouravieff l'a fait assassiner avec une ccraute digne d'un can nibals.' He then threw the paper on the ground, betraying the most violent indignation in every movement. Finally, after exclaiming several times, Qae pense l'Empereur, comment pent-il rester indifferent en face de toutes ces barbaries he went into his bed-room, where he remained, refusing to see any one, the whole evening." MARRIAGE OF MR.

[REUTERS EXPRESS ] Per the Etna. NEW YORK, UNE 11. Secretary Stanton announces having received despatches from General Grant up to 9 p.m. on the 9th inst. There had been no fighting since the night of the 6th, when the Confederates attacked Burnside's corps, meeting with a decided repulse. They also made a dash at a working party of Han. cock's corps, with the same results. It is reported that a portion of the 51h corps had arrived at a point on the Chickahominy, near Bottom's Bridge. An unofficial despatch states that a portion of this force has occupied the south bank of the river, near Despatch Station. Richmond journals claim that the battle on the 3d inst. resulted in a decided victory for the Con• federates. The Sentinel states that fourteen assaults were made by the Federala on the right of the line held by BrieliQuridge, Yoga, aLd Kershaw, all of which were repulsed with great slaughter of the assailants. The Federal lots is placed at from 10,000 to 12,000 men, while the Confederate loss is asserted to have been quite small, The Sentinel states that Grant's object was to gain the strong positions around Gaines's Mill, upon the road to Bottom's Bridge, and connect with Butler, and that his object had been " signally and disastrously defeated." The Sentinel concludes :—" In short, yesterday was a happy day for us and a dark one for Grant. We have lost no ground on our right and have gained largely on our left. We have taken nearly two thousand prisoners. We have put hors de combat some 10,000 Yankee soldiers. We have suffered very slight loss, thank God." Richmond papers of the 7th regard General Grant's movement es indicating a retreat to the James River, with a view of attacking Richmond on the south of that stream. The town of Bowling Green, the county seat of Caroline county, Virginia, has been laid in ashes by Federal troops in retaliation for the citizens firing from thr it houses upon a Federal train. Advices frcm Butler's army the 7th inst. report all quiet on Official despatches anncurce that the Federal forces under General Hunter, on the sth of June' defeated the Confederates under General IV. E , Jones, who was himself killed, 12 miles beyond Staunton, in the Upper Shenandoah valley. The Confederates retreated to Waynesboro, and now hold the mountains between Staunton, which place is occupied by Hunter, and Charlottesville. Gen. Hunter captured no supplies, according to official accounts. Ocher accounts, however, represent that he captured six guns and a large amount of stores. Deserters report that the Confederates lost 20 guns. Latest advicos from General Sherman's army in dicate that Johnston has at last made a determined stand, and that a desperate battle was daily ex pected. On the 7th of Juno the Confederates hsd signals posted at Kenesaw and Lost Mountain. Sherman's forces had occupied Ackworth. Despatches from Kentucky announce the inva sion of that State by a Confederate force under General John Morgan, They entered the eastern portion of the State and captured Mount Stirling. They then proceeded to destroy the railroad and bridges between Cynthiana and Paris, both of which places they occupied on June 8. They next captured Georgetown and Williamstown, and had, at latest accounts, a force within thirty miles of Cincinnati. Communication with Lexington is suspended, and it is feared that that town also has fallen into their hands. They are moviug in three columns. One of these bodies, said to be about 700 strong, has been repulsed by the Federals under Gea. Burridge. The estimates of Morgan's force are various—some as high as ten, and some less than three, thousand men. Advices from Mississippi state the Confederates under Marmaduko have planted heavy batteries at Greenville, Mississippi, and Columbia, Arkansas, thereby effectually blockading the navigation of the Mississippi river at that point. Southern ac counts state that Marmaduko had already crippled three Federal gunboats and destroyed three trans. ports, securing two of their cargoes, Southern papers state that the entire number of Federal prisoners captured during the recent cam. paign in Louisiana and Arkansas( was 16,000, and that Col. Alexandria, on the ith ult., captured two Federal gunboats and three transports in the Calasim river, in South-Western Louisiana. The same journals allege that the Federals destroyed all prope.ey in the Red River from Natchilocby to some distance above Alexandria.
