Hansard for the session of 1863 gives promise of being as interesting and valuable as Hansard for its predecessor. Nothing of any importance in the way of legislative improvement either done or at tempted (even attempted !) by the Government. That wicked, sardonic Opposition looking on com placently the while—that is, watching with a peculiar satisfaction bow it is that the Ministry that came in expressly for the purpose of carrying a sweeping measure of Reform, has ever since daring the four weary years last passed, been con strained to stultify itself, by doing the work of the Opposition—the work, that is, not of innovation but of Conservation, or, in political diction, Conser vatism. Each year that has rolled by since the Pal merston Coalition was founded, and installed, to this end, has demonstrated the fact that the situation is what we have here described it to be, and nothing else than that—each year, as it has rolled by, has de monstrated the fact we are alluding to,more and more clearly, placing the painful truth more and more beyond the reach of contradiction. The Cabinet of Lord PALMERSTON is—thauks to its chief alone —what is called a popular Administration. It is so, however, only nominal.y. Its popularity apper tains exclusively to Lord PALMERSTON. It be longs to no one among even the most gifted of his colleagues. Each of these Cabinet Ministers has in greater or lesser numbers, it is true, his ardent admirers, among either his personal friends, or, a few of them, even among the unknown masses of the general population. But, otherwise, regarding them in their col'ective capacity as members of a Cabinet—Ministers, certainly, during the last years, hold office purely upon sufferance. How in point of fact could it by possi bility be otherwise ? Where in their acts is there discernible any reason for their enjoying anything like popularity ? What plea have they given for any display in their regard of popular enthu siasm ? They are virtually thing nothing at all as Reformers. They are holding office, and hold ing their hands, and drawing their salaries. They are either defeated when they attempt to carry any measure of even moderate importance through the Legislature, or they are compelled to avoid the Ignominy of defeat by meekly withdrawing it. Whatever popularity Ss enjoyed by the Ministry, belongs, individually and exclusively, to the head of the Ministry Lord PALMERSTON. S apposing any one peculiarity of the Parliamen tary session were needed as an index to the actual situation, as we have here briefly described it, that peculiarity "pointing the moral and adorning the tale" of the rise and existence of the Second PAL MERSTON Administration, would be discernable in the fact that during the last year or two, session after session has been remarkable, each in turn, as a session of Wednesdays! A session, that is to sa y, of Wednesday Defeats ! For—really and truly—so far as any good has come of it, the Wednesdays' s ittings need not h ave b een holden at all. At these Wednesday sittings— Questions have been discussed, pro and con, of an afternoon—the whippers in, both upon the right hand and upon the left hand ot.M r . SPEAKER, have been occasionally very active--but almost invariably, certainly as a rule, amendments have been negatived, bills have been thrown out, now in committee, now at the proposal for the second reading, now at one stage, now at another. Hansard has been filled up, page after Page, volume after volume —divisions have been industriously counted almost always with one very monotonous result—but the work of practical legislation has, all the while, made no appreciable advance whatever. Lords and Commons have been" marking time" whil e the Reforming ( ! ) Ministry, taking the word of command from the Opposition, have been wheeling round fromProgression:to Conservatism. H ow l ong, people) are beginning at length to inquire, can this last ? We are glad that, in spite of Lord C. PAQET'S opposition, Colonel DUNNE has obtained a cont. mittee for an inquiry into the state of the har bour of Holyhead, with regard to its accommo dation for the mail packets. Such a motion could not be very pleasing to the Admiralty, which is never famous for reforms or improvements, al though its members have no objection to a long course of expensive alterations. If anything is to be done to Holyhead harbour, they would like to have the doing of it, end not to be fettered by the inconvenient knowledge and ability brought to bear upon the question by the researches of a committee. Accordingly the First Lord demurred to " 3461 burrtiE'S proposal, and said that the 43 " erlu nent were taking the Deco eary steps for carrying out the promised improvement. They possessed, he said, all the information that a committee could possibly obtain, and therefore he hoped the lion. member would not press his motion. Colonel DUNNE, however, wisely persisted in demanding a committee, declaring that he had received information confirming his previous statements. In truth, the harbour has been from the first constructed upon a wrong principle, both as to capacity and protection. Engineers are doubtless often very learned men, and on certain topics, such as bridges, embankments, and matters more in keeping with their own avocations, their wisdom may be indisputable; but when they pro pose to build harbours on a large scale, they some times get beyond their depth, and find themselves completely at sea. We remember having expressed our decided opinion, while the harbour was yet in course of construction, that its extension was too limited, its formation was faulty, and that instead of affording the required protection to vessels seek ing refuge in distress, it served rather as a decoy luring them to destruction. It might have been formed at infinitely less expense, and have con tained an area four times its present size. The engineer found out his mistake when too late to amend—and yet, after much patching aid alteration, he only continued to make bad worse. But nothing matters so long as Government finds the money for more tinkering. Governments, like engineers. are never in the wrong—the fault rests with others —nobody is responsible, and the people have to pay for the wilful mistakes and per verse cleverness of those who are above their work, because they are safe from responsibility. Mr. LAIRD said very truly that the Holyhead har bour was faulty from the beginning, and time has proved the correctness of his opinion. We believe that Mr. RENDALL was the consulting or directing engineer of that harbour on the Welsh coast, as he was of the great breakwater at Portland. Now that breakwater has been placed fully half a mile too near Weymouth, by which an immense area of water is lost for the protection of our war fleet, as well as of our great mercantile navy. By being so near to the north the wind blows with great force over the hollow in the direction of the Chesil Bank, whereas half a mile further room more southerly and easterly would have afforded ample scope and verge enough for a whole fleet to ride safely at anchor under the lee of the Portland Hills, and would have given deeper water and more secure anchorage. But our officials are always too proud to learn, or too indifferent to see the public money profitably and advantageously laid out. In works of this kind, whose size and character elevate them into undertakings of national importance, we have surely a right to demand that they should be well planned and efficiently carried out. We too often see some vast construction that is to serve many generations cramped and spoiled by a defect in the original design, which no subst pent contrivance can remedy. Oar skill in scientific mechanism is one of our national boasts, surely then we should turn it to some better account. Public attention is being directed to these matters, and we see the first effects in the division of Tuesday night, when a majority of 26 testified more forcibly than pleasantly to Lord C. PAGET, that honourable members are not dis posed to put too much faith in the promises of the Admiralty or the performances of its engineers. Yesterday Sir J. FERGUSON moved the second reading of the Accidents Compensation Bill, the object of which was "to relieve railway companies from the hard operation of the law." The hon. baronet explained the purport of his measure with great frankness, and allowed that it was for the : interest of the railway companies, who had con ferred more benefits on the public than any other improvement of modern times, In this bill he assured the house that the great companies did not seek to divest themselves of any just responsibility, but they sought to be relieved from the misrepre sentation which the law, as at present enacted, brought upon them. He contended that whatever care was taken accidents would inevitably occur sometimes. The greatest evil com plained of was that the present system en couraged frauds to a great extent. There were always found plenty of assistants to make up a case for the would-be martyrs. Pettifogging solicitors and compassionate doctors were ever ready, and, indeed, there was a class of these men es ho made it a practice to get up the cases. He contended that railway--companies ought not to be led into contracts the extent of which they could not ascertain. He thus enumerated the proposals of his measure in distinct terms : "It was proposed, then, that the liabilities of the compa nies should be equal—that, as there were equal pay ments, there should be equal liabilities ; but where any individual estimated the value of his life to his representatives higher than the limitation of the bill provided for, he should be entitled to insure with the railway company to the higher amount which he thought fit. Definite terms of insurance and de tails might be settled in committee or by the Board of Trade. He begged to move the second reading of the bill." Mr. LONGFIELD said he moved the rejection of the bill. He was quite indignant at its whole purport, and particularly disapproved of the system of insurance. He considered that it was almost always the negligence of railway companies that caused accidents. Mr. THOMPSON wisely urged that if these enormous claims were to be allowed in compensation the railway com panies would soon be quite unable to defray the expenses that were requisite for the safety of the public. The Solicitor-General was decidedly against the measure, and said that it was of that nature that it could not receive the sanction of +be House. The bill was subsequently lost by a majority of 20. This was to be regretted, as Sir J. FERGUSON distinctly stated that he wished to refer it to a select committee, where of course it might have been amended and altered to suit the particular exigencies of the case, and might have resulted in some measure alike beneficial to the public and to the railway companies. As affair are at present arranged it is only the pretentious class who are sure of gaining their point, and reap ing a harvest from the untimely accident. Many who are the greatest sufferers are never heard of after the first excitement is over; they do not like to have their case bandied about in a Court, and prefer to suffer in silence the expense and incon venience to which they have been subjected by some unhappy mischance. On the other hand, at present the railway companies are not fairly right sums mat and a e dy a tbeed fairr, e a t cio s u t ai h dr e eo y dp to n fa e t v dh e e e t. : can tell what enormous d . e d I c t o seems, ursea t then, one only d let each side be aware of the claims that may be enforced and the liabilities to which they m a y t o to talk o f t hi s saject. It i s merely sentimentality bill as introducing a system of treati n hu a beings as cattle, b ecause what applies i n onemnn i stance applies in the other with equal force. -Where is the difference of the principle in fixing the amount to be paid beforehand for damages, and in disputing the exact sum afterwards. Nothing is more fairly adjusted from being made the subject ot vituperation in a court of law, and, instead of the question being fairy met, it is often the most un scrupulous who gain the day and carry off the spoil. A good opportunity has been thrown sway of oettiog to rights a vexed question, and of removing a grievance that presses hard on an enterprising body of men, while, at the same time, the vark.us modi fications and changes of the law do not ensure always a right compensation or provide for the protection of the public. The anniversary dinner of the Royal Literary Fund is always worthy of attention, and it engages an interest alike from its intrinsic excellence, and the distinguished men who preside over its enter tainments and assist with their presence and orations the general eisplay of the occasion. Last night Earl STANHOPE presided, and he proved a most efficient chairman. He came before the assembly in the double capacity of Chairman and President, having been appointed to that position upon the death of the Marquis of LANSDOWNE. His lordship remarked that if the arguments in support of this institution were anti quated, the claims were ever new. These claims extended as literature and science extended, .nnd at no former period had these been more diffused. After descanting on the advances that science was every day making, and the glorious position of our literature at present, Earl STAN HOPE went on to observe on the immense advan tages we all derived from works of imagination. The Hon. Mrs. NORTON, in the poem to her books, addressed them as— " Silent companions of my lonely hour, Friends who can never alter nor forsake." Returning then to the original theme of his dis- course, Earl STANHOPE impressively urged upon his hearers the important benefits that accrued from this society to those who "found their strength give way, and were mayhap wounded in the fall." As for this class they must unhappily increase in numbers the more our progress extended and our fame was spread abroad. There must be some who sink while others succeed. After a few most per tinent observations on the great want of combina tion that existed in England among scientific men, Earl STANHOPE then eloquently concluded with this passage regarding the spirit of the institution he that night came forward to support : " The society in whose name he was speaking acted in no spirit of isolation; its helping hand was stretched out to relieve the man of genius, whatever his origin. There was no distinction of country, of party, or of creed ; a French man was as welcome as an Englishman; the applicant for relief was not asked whether he was a Protestant or Roman Catholic, a supporter of the Liberal or of the Conservative party. ft was enough to know that he was a man of talent exposed to difficulties not of his own creation, and the assistance of the society was freely offered to him. As its sphere of usefulness was extended, so likewise was the circle of supporters to whose sympathies it commended itself. It appealed not to any single department of knowledge, to any branch of science, but to the poet, the geologist, the historian, the archeologist, to every section contributing either to the instruction or the intellectual power of mankind." His lordship's speech reflects great credit on him, and the members of the society must have con gratulated themselves on having such an able and efficient ally in their president. A more noble institution than this does not exist in the land, and no society could have a better object than to afford aid to those who have fallen by the wayside in the march of life, weary and worn out in the toil of their high enterprise. If any one undertak ing more than another deserves special attention and regard, it should be that which conduces to the benefit of the intellect, and inspires the imagi. nation with elevated ideas. None more require assistance than those whose pursuits have been of a literary kind, when poverty exerts its depressing influence or when health fails them in the following of their arduous labours_ To such men this society seeks to offer assistance, and the undertaking should not be regarded so much a work of charity as a testimonial of regard and respect to the benefactors of humanity, It is to be hoped that success will long attend this institution, and that so long as literature flourishes, so long through the length and breadth of the land will supporters be found for this society, that it may never be said that the labourers in the vineyard are neglected while their countrymen and the world reap the rich harvest of their success. THE SUN, LONDON, THLTBSDAY LAING, MAY 14, 1803. ROYAL BOTANIC SOCIETY. Yesterday the first grand fete of the season took place in the Royal Botanic Society's garden's, in Regent's Park, end was specially honoured by the attendance of their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales. The exhibition of flowers was exceedingly good; the plants being large and well grown. The azaleas and roses were specially good, dazzling the eye with their beauty, and filling the air with their delightful fragrance. Among the azaleas we noticed a fine white, Louise von Baden; and among the latter some of extraordinary beauty and colour, and astonishing size, many being fully six inches in dia meter—General Jacquelin and Lord Raglan among the dark ones, and Charles Lawson, the Countess Mole, and Coupe de Hebe, conspicuous alike for their size and their delicate tints. Pelargoniums, calceolarias, cinerarias, pan• skis, and tulips, were in profusion, and there were a few re markably fine fuchsias. There were also a fine collection of those curiosities as well as beauties of nature, the orchi dact m, which appeared in numerous varieties ; while a host of rare and new plants contributed to maks the range of marquees one mass of sparkling beauty Amongst the most conspicuous of he novelties was the Napoleona Imperialis, from the garden of the Duke of Northumberland. On Tuesday evening the council of the Royal Botanic Society received an intimation that their Royal Highnesses would honour the gardens with an early visit. Preparations had accordingly been made for the reception of the distin guished guests. _ _ Their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales, attended by Lord Alfred Hervey and Lady Macclesfield, arrived at eleven o'clock at the grand en trance, where they were received by the Earl Delawarr (the president), the Marquis of Bristol, the Bishop of Oxford, the Bishop of Winchester, Sir Robert Peel, M.P., and the Right Hon Mr. Hutt, M.P. (vice presi dents), and the following members of the council :—Mr. J. Anderson, Mr. R. Bentley, Mr. t otfield, bI,P , General Buckley, M.P., Hon. Mr. Calthorpe, M.P., Mr. C. Deane, Mr. W. Fox, Mr. Freshfield, Colonel Hanmer, Mr. Hey. wood, the Venerable Archdeacon Jones, Mr. Majoribanks, Sir R. Murchison, Sir W, Stirling, Lord Tredegar, Mr. C. R. Turner, Mr H. Wedgewood, together with the officers of the society, Mr. Sowerby, the secretary, and Mr. Marnock, the curator. On entering the grounds the Countess of Delawarr had the honour of presenting her Royal Highness with a splendid bouquet, which was graciously received. The Royal party then proceeded over the delightful grounds of the society, and then inspected the plants and flowers in the conservatory and marquees, with which all were pleased, and her Royal Highness especially delighted. The Royal visit extended over a period of an hour. At two o'clock the grounds were opened to the members of the society and their friends. The gardens, refreshed by the recent genial showers, presented a most agreeable aspect; but there was an occasional spattering of rain, and the temperature was somewhat close, aad the seats about the grounds consequently lacked their usual summer occu. pants, most of the visitors, who were tolerably numerous, preferring a continuance of their perambulations among the floral beauties under cover, A goodly number, how ever, promenaded about the gardens, listening to the delicious music of the bands of the let and 2d Lite Guards and the Royal Horse Guards Blue.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) POLAND. POSEN, MAY 10. The responsible editor of the Dziennik Poznanski, Dr. Szutnan, brother-in-law of Deputy Dr. Libelt, was arrested yesterday at his country-house. The landed proprietor, Napoleon Kekowski, of Kossuty, in the district of Schroda, has also been appre hended. It is rumoured that all the Poles recer tly arrested in this city and throughout the province, and whose number—especially in the district of Schroda—is so large that the prisons are filled to overflowing, will be carried off to Berlin, and there tried for high treason before the Supreme Criminal Court. The removal, indeed, is said to impend daily, but the method of secure escort to the metro polis, under present circumstances, is reported to excite serious apprehensions.

TURIN, MAY 13. In the Chamber of Deputies, to-day, Signor Massari contradicted Lord Henry Lennox's asser tion that he had visited the Neapolitan prisons in company of a member of the Italian Parlia ment. He also contradicted the alleged seizure of the Perseveranza. The Opinione of to-day, in reply to the accu sations against the Italian Government made by the Opposition members of the British Parlia ment, mentions the efforts of the Administration to arm the population of the Southern provinces. It says : "The Government has recently sent 70,000 muskets to a single province. This proves that it relies upon the support of the people in resisting any attacks proceeding from the exterior." The same paper says the statement of Lord Lennox that the Perseveranza had been seized was unfounded, and adds— " That liberty of the press exists in Italy is fully proved by the number of clerical and republican papers that are printed in the principal towns of Italy."

(REUTER'S FXPRESS.) WASHINGTON, April 30. . . From the best attainable information from per sons arriving from the Rappahannock, it appears that some important movements took place yester day. There was no fighting of any importance. The force crossed at Kelly's ford. Pontoon bridges were laid two and three miles below Fredricksburg, and we held possession of thoEe points last night. The enemy formed lines of battle and planted batteries on the heights in their rear, and also fired a few shots to get the range. In crossing we lost one or two officers killed, and from 30 to 40 men wounded. Our men crossed first in boats and drove the enemy out of their rifle pits, killed and wounded many, and took 106 prisoners, inelttaing several officers, one of whom was Lieuten ant-Colonel Hammond, of the 6th Louisiana. Those prisoners arrived here yesterday and were sent to the Old Capitol prison. Another informant says the left wing, 35,000 strong, crossed four miles below Fredericksburg, a little below where Franklin crossed previous to the first battle of Fredericksburg. They fought 12 hours, drove the enemy eight miles out of their rifle pits and behind their entrenchments. The third brigade of the first division of the first corps has suffered more than any other in the fight. Our forces have captured between 500 ono 600 prisoners, who will soon be brought to this city. Many of these prisoners have voluntarily come over to us, having thrown away their arms in small squads, and beg for food. They pick up what the soldiers have thrown away on the march. Other rebels, however, say they have plenty to eat. The right wing crossed at Kelly's Ford, and Gen. Stoneman's cavalry is reported to be somewhere in the rear of Fredericksburg. One corps remains at Falmouth as a reserve. The onward movement of the Army of the Poto mac, involving the crossing of the Rappahannock in the face of the enemy, commenced on Monday, and ere you receive this letter the different corps will have firmly established themselves on the sacred soil across the river. The movement commenced at daybreak, General Howard's corps having the advance on the march, and the men did not halt until they reached Mount Holly Church, just one mile this side of Kelly's Ford, where Gl,neral Hooker in ended the crossing should be made. The weather was warm for this season of the year, and the men suffered somewhat in consequence, but they bore up manfully against. the fatigue, and won golden opinions from their officers. The sth corps, under General Meade, and the 12th, under Gener a l Sl, cum , f o llowed by different roads, and the troop, who were in excellent spirits, marched until nightfall without delay. The desti. nation of each corps was kept a profound secret among the men, and officers even, and it was not until they reached the spot that they were able to divine their commander's real intentions. Briga dier-generals and privates alike were in ignorance of the plan, and it is even said that few of the major-generals were conversant with the move ment. Colonel Basbeck's brigade, of the 11th ccrps,who had been guarding Kelly's Ford for the last fort. night, gave the troops a hearty welcome, and en couraged them with the prospect of an easy cross ing in the morning. They reported that but very few rebels were in sight, and that there would be no d,fficulty in laying the pontoons and proceeding on the "onward movement," The work of laying the pontoon bridges was con fided to Capt. Comstock, of General Hooker's staff. General Hooker was also present and superintended in person the important work. The boats, which had been secreted in Marsh run, which empti -s into the Rappahannock just below Kel:y's Ford, were manned by the 73d Pennsylvania and 154th New York Volunteers, wh o p us h e d fearlessly across th river and tcok p ossess i on of the oppos it e bank. The rebel pickets mad e a sl i ght show o f res i s tance, and e then fell back. Skirmishers were immediately thrown out, but without coming up with any of the "butter-nuta." Subsequently the 11th and 12th corps passed over the bridges without accident, and at night the column rested on the south bank of the river. Ou Tuesday morning General Stoneman's cavalry crossed over, followed by the sth army corps,eom manded by General Meade, and ere this the colum►`. is on its way to the Rapidan, where a crossing is to be effected at Germania. General Hooker super intended the movement in person, and as he rode through the lines the troops received him in the most enthusiastic manner. His headquarters were at Morrisville, five or six miles from the ford, just before the movement commenced. Here he made known to his corps commanders his intentions, and gave them directions how to proceed when they had reached the opposite bank of the river. The destination of the army after crossing the Rapidan remains a secret, except to thoee high in authority ; but all sorts of speculations are entered into as to the commander's intentions. The weather is lovely to-day, and promises well for our brave boys across the river. To-morrow, or the day after at the furthest, you may expect to hear some im p ortant news. The troops are in splendid condi tion, and if there is to be any fighting you may rest assured they will acquit themse.ves with credit. Colonel M'Quade, Fourteenth New Yolk Volun teers, arrived in camp about ten o'clock, having been brought hither in an ambulance. When he heard that p.eparations were being made for a movement, despite the urgent entreaties of his phy sician to the contrary—he has been suffering for some days from an attack of bilious fever—he left his sick bed and came to resume command of his brigade. I should state in this connection that General Griffin has also left a sick bed to take com mand of his division. For the same reason Colonel Ames, finding his regiment was not to move for some time, in consequence of large numbers being sick with smallpox, was anxious, if possible, to have a hand in the first fight, and accordingly has offered himself and been accepted as volunteer aid on General Meade's staff. We have been joined by the three years members of the Twelfth New York, and also those of the Thirteenth New York who are enlisted for three years or the war. They have marched the whole distance from their old camp since morning to join its, thus showing their love for the cause. Mjor Michael of the 14th New York Volunteers, has been appointed colonel of a new regiment which is now being organised, and Major Gleason, of the 25th New York, lieutenant-colonel. The position of major has been offered to Lieut. Yateq, acting assistant adjutant-general of Colonel M'Quade's brigade. After my letter yesterday morning had closed, our batteries, which had opened upon the rebel sharpshooters, rendered it possible to cross in the pontoon boats without essential loss. The 6th Wis consin regiment, Col. Bragg, and the 24th Michi gan, Col. Morrow, crossed in pontoon boats, and on reaching the opposite shore, charged up the heights, drove the suarpshooters from the rifle pits, and took a large number of prisoners, 91 certain, of whom five were wounded and taken to the hospital, and the remainder were sent to the headquarters of the army. The rebel loss is represented to be 167 in all, including the killed. The charge upon the rebel rifle pits was most gallantly made. The artillery fire was so hot for them that they were not aware our infantry were over the Rappahannock until they heard and saw them. Then their fears magnified the Western boss into giants and invincible warriors, and they con sidered it more prudent to surrender than to fight. Beyond the rifle pits, and out of the range of mus ketry fire from these, a body of rebels, more nume rous than our infantry which had then crossed, fled precipitately upon the approach of our boys. The position of our batteries was relatively the same as at the fight i❑ December, when the crossing was made by the frame troops at the same point, and when our artillery and infantry were complimented for their gallantry. The fire from the rebel rifle pits was terribly severe upon our infantry, who were utterly unprotected while they were making preparations to cross. The Brooklyn Fourteenth, Sixth Wisconsin and Twenty-fourth Michigan lost the most heavily, and all their losses occurn d before the river was crossed. Other regiments also lost in killed and wounded. The whole number of our casualties was nine killed and 57 wounded, The rebel killed found on the field were 12, and their wounded, who were taken prisoners, five. Others of them were killed or wounded, undoubtedly. They were of the Thir teenth Georgia and Sixth Louisiana regiments. The Twenty-fourth New York Regiment, Col. Beardsley, and the 30th New York, Col. Searing, were detailed early in the morning to carry the pon toon boats over the road to the river, a distance of three-fourths of a mile, and they performed that truly arduous duty as well as men could do it. Tney were carried by men rather than drawn by horses, so that there might be no rumbling of wheels to notify the rebels of their approach. The other two regiments of the First Brigade—the Brook lyn Fourteenth, Colonel Fowler, and the Twenty. , second New York, Major Strong—were thrown out as skirmishers, and to protect the advance of the other forces in crossing on the pontoon boats The soldiers here are in admirable spirits, and this successful crossing of the river, with a small comnrative loss, encourages them to hope that farther advance can be made at less expense of life than in December, when our troops lost heavily at the same point. The Philadelphia Pt:ening Bulletin learns that General Hooker, with 50,000 men, has had a battle with the Confederates beyond the Rappahannock .And that the Union troops were victorious; but this statement has received an official contra diction. The New York Tribune, says that on Thursday last (the 30th ult.) three corps of General Hooker's army were across the Rappahannock, marching straight in rear of Fredericksburg by way of Cban cellorsville, 12 miles from Fredericksburg. Three other corps were at Banksford, and in communication with ti.e advancing columns. A 1 the corps were in a position to move directly upon the Confederate line of communication, and still another corps wa s threatening to cross below and assail the fi ink of the Confederates. The Tribune says that Gen. Lee has no alternative but to march out of Fredericks burg or fight, with the certainty that, if defeated. his whole army will be destroyed or captured. Gen. S'oneland's Federal cavalry is in rear of any position to which Lee can possibly have fallen back, and the Tribune expects to hear that both the Vir ginia Central and the Richmond and Fredericka burg Railways are severed. If so, Lee must fight with the forces be has, for no reinforcements could reach him before he was attacked by Gen. Hooker. It is reported that the Federals have occupied Grand Gulf, between Vicksburg and Port Hudson. It is now stated that only one transport was sunk while passing Vicksburg. Semi-official despatches say that Gen. Banks' expedition has not only destroyed the army and navy of the enemy, but capturtd his materials for reorganisation, his ablest sea and land officers, and between 1,000 and 2,000 prisoners. General Banks' loss in the two last battles was from 6,000 to 7,000 killed and wounded. The Federals have been driven by the Confede rates in Tennessee, who have advanced to within 12 miles of Murfreesboro'. It is supposed the intention of the Confederates was to force Rot,encranz to concentrate his lines, but an attack was not expected. A Federal force from Corinth destroyed 20 miles of the Central Mississippi Railroad, causing consi derable excitement in t bat region. The _New York Tribune says that at the rf quest of the Governor of Massachusetts a war vessel is to be armed, t quipped, and ordered to cruise off Boston harbour, The stei.mer Eagle, from Nassau, has arrived at a Southern port. (Per Edinburgh.) NEW YORK, MAY 2, EVENING. The New York press generally considers that the action of Mr. Adams in giving a certificate to a vessel bound to :Matamoros with arms for Mexico does not justify the severe comments of the British press upon the subject, and thinks it proves there ie a hostile feeling in England ready to resent even the shadow of affront. Some journals consider Mr. Adams's action perfectly justifiable. ARRIVAL OF 't HE HAMMONIA. The Hamburg and American Company's steam ship Hammonia, from Now York on the 2d inst., has arrived here with 180 passengers for this port, Havre, and Hamburg, and 102,184 dole, for England. On the 4th inst. the Hommonia spoke the steamer Teutonia, bound to I\l",w York; on the 7th the British barque G. Bowden and thp "3 remen s hi p Orpheus; on the Bth the American ship Feutable ; aed on the 12 , h the British schooner Triune, THE LOSS OF THE ANGLO-SAXON, The following is the account of the loss of the Anglo-Saxon, furnished by the first officer of that vessel:— l'he Anglo-Saxon left Liverpool on the 16th inst., at five p.m. She experienced strong westerly gales until Saturday the 25, at eight p.m., when she fell in with the ice and a thick fog. The engines were immediately slowed. At ten p.m. the ice being so thick and heavy the engines were stopped alto gether, a light breeze from the south forcing the ship ahead about one knot an hour. At five a.m on the 26th the fog lifted, and the ice having slacked we set the foretopaails and head sails, running the engines occasionally at a dead slow. At half-past ten a.m. the fog cleared away altogether and we saw clear water to the west-northwest from the masthead. We continued our course to wards clear water. At two p.m. we got the ship clear of ice, and steered N.W. by \V., with full speed and with all possible sail. A moderate breeze was blowing from the southward at this time. At noon latitude 46 57, longitude 57 24, by the chro nometer. At ten p.m. the breeze freshened and blew strongly from the S.S.E., and a dense fog set in. We took in all sail at eight a.m. on the 27th. The fog still continued to be dense, and, supposing the ship to be forty miles off Cape Race, we altered her course to west h•tlf north, and slowed the en gines to half speed, which we supposed would hive taken us seventeen miles south of Cape Rece. At ten minutes past 11 a.m. bteakers were reported on the starboard beam. Captain Burgess immediately ordered the engines to be reversed at full speed, but before her head way could be stopped she struck flat on the rocks of Clam Cove, about four miles north of Cape Race. A heavy sea rolling in, drove her quarter on the rocks, carrying away her rudder, sternpost, and propeller. Finding that there was no possibility of the ship coming off, the order was given to let go both ancnors to hold the ship on the rocks. The carpenter was forthwith sent to examine the forepeak, and found it filling fast with water. He also examined the torehold, but found no water there. The chief engineer coming up directly afterwards, reported the forward stokehole filling fast. He opened the valves and blew the steam out of the boilers. The boats were all immediately lowered successfully, except No. 1 and Nu. 3. The ship was so close to the rocks that these could not be got out. Boat No. 2, with some of the crew and passengers, commanded by Captain Crawford, was sent to find a place to land the passengers. Some of the crew being landed on the rocks, by means of a studding sail-boom, with the help of some of the passengers, got a bawzer secured to a rock to keep the vessel from listing out, when we commenced to land the female passengers on the rocks by means of the foreyard arm. At about noon the ship's stern swung off from the rocks, and she settled down very fast, listing to port at the same time, and sunk in deep water. The captain and a great many passengers were on deck at the time, and, with a part of the crew, are all lost. MARKETS—This Day. MARK LANE.

'THE BALLOT SOCIETY.—TiIe weekly meeting of this society w'is held on Tuesday last.

Letters were read from corres,ondents at Thet ford and Newßadnor containing sugges , ions for proceedings at futute elections for those places. An application was made from a gentleman at Manchester for a grant of publi • cations in favour of the ballot, and stating that a long dis cussion on the question was taking place in that city. The application was granted. It was reported that Mr. Berke ley, M.P., would bring forward the question of the ballot in the House of Commons as soon as possible after the Witsuntide holidays, and it was resolved that Mr. Berkeley be requested to take immediate measures to have the day fixed on which the question is to come on, in order to gave the committee as much time as possible to interest their friends in the various constituencies in securing a good discussion and division.
