The Mid Wales Railway Bill was read a third time and passed. The following bills were read a second time and ordered to be considered :—Hayling Railways—London Docks, Saint Katharine Dock, and Victoria (London) Dock Amal gamation—Waterford and Wethrd Railway and Roalclare Harbour, THE PERMISSIVE BILL. Mr DALGLISH presented an immense number of peti tionsntra in favour of this bill, emanating from districts where teetotalism is in the asc en d ant. Several petitions per co were presented, and the petitioners alleged that the inter ference of Parliament in reference to the closing of public houses was uncalled for. SALE OF PROVISIONS BILL. Mr. H. BERKELEY gave notice that on an early day he would move for leave to bring in a bill to amend this bill, which, he contended, was injurious to the public inte rests in its operation. THE PRISON hiI NISTERS BILL. Mr BLACK asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if it was intended by the Prison Ministers Bill, now under the consideration of the house, to give to the Secretary of State the right to appoint ministers of different religious persuasions, t ,, i faroin rz:. sons, and to award the amount of recompense to be paid for their services, contrary t o the opinion o f t h e justices or county board, as provided in the Prisons Act of 1863. Sir G. GREY was understood to have answered in the negative. DISCRIMINATING DUTIES. Mr LINDSAY moved an address for copy of any cor respondence between her Majesty's Government and the Governments of France, Spain, and Portugal from 1850 to 1863 inclusive, relating to ;he abrogation of the dis criminatingthose countries. British vessels might be more facility and dtheir deuetrigesoesstiltlredleivniged with h ou He contended that there should be an alteration in the affordedeaisting s fo y r st t e h m e commerce with different countries on the continent, particularly Spain, France, and Portugal. ,eixateoordeteorethofateuthrereehipping concurred thee the were found to be Mr M.

They had been in communication with the Governments of France, Spain, and Portugal en this most important subject, and the result was satisfactory, the tendency being to carry out fully the principle of free trade. The motion was agreed ta, and the return was accord ingly ordered. AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS. Mr. CAIRD moved the following resolution ;—" That, in the opinion of this house, the collection and early publication of the agricultural statistics of Great Bri tain would be advantageous to the public interests.'' He drew attention to the importance of this subject, and alluded to the practice that prevailed in Ireland, that of making the police the collectors of these statistics, but he considered that the adoption of such an agency would not be suitable to the circumstances of this country. He strongly advocated the application of the operation of the Oidnance Survey Department to this subject, and he called the attention of the house to the value, in a scientific point of view, of an extensive and practical record of the agricultural productions of the country, which would be free from any thing of an inquisitorial character. Col. BARTTELOT opposed the motion, and contended the feeling among the farmers was decidedly adverse to the collection of agricultural statistics, which they believed would do them no good, and he hoped the house would not agree to the resolution. Mr PACKE likewise opposed the motion, which was sup ported by Mr PAOET. Lord HOTHAM retained the opinion he had before ex pressed, that, without more forcible means than the house would sanction, it wJul t not be possible to obtain returns with sufficient correctness, and unless correct they would produce an effect different from that Eezitul, 4ud of in,co I harm than good. Mr Dent, Mr Hubbard, Mr Thomson, and Lord Naas spoke in favour of the motion. Mr M. Grrisox observed that there had }Pen no difference of opinion in the house upon this point—that, if accurate agricultural statistics cauld be obtained, the returns would be of advantage, not only to the agricultural, but to the mercantile interest. It was, therefore, unnecessary to ex press any general opinion in the form of a resolution ; the whole difficulty was how to do it. 113 pointed out the many obstacles to the collection of accurate returns, and, remarking that the question must be approached with very great caution, he examined the plans surgestad for making the collections ; he agreed, he said, that correct agricultural returns were most desirable, but, Unless ;he house was pre pared to sanction some p ar ti cular plan, th e re was not the slightest necessity for passing the resolution. He moved the previous question. After some further discussion, in which Sir G. Grey suggested that, as the whole question turned upon the means of effecting the object in view, the better course would be to bring in a bill. Upon a division the previous question was carried in the affirmative by 74 to 62, and the resolution was then agreed to. Mr E. P. BOUVERIE, in moving a resolution that the house resolve itself into a committee to consider certain portions of the Act of Uniformity, exphined the object of a bill he sought leave to introduce, which was similar to that he had introduced last session. After a few words from Mr. SELWYN, the house went into committee, and leave was given to bring in the bill. Sir C. O'LOOHLEN obtained leave to bring in a bill further to secure to the public the means of travelling by railway in Ireland, and Mr M'MAHON a bill to assimilate the law of Ireland to that of England a.sns to the qualification of burgesses in m ?. Leave was also given to Introduce other hills. The house was counted out at a quarter to eight o'clock. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE, RAILWAY BILLS. Yesterday the committee of which Mr Baillie is chair man, after a long and laborious inquiry, decided on the pro posed new lines for Dublin, passing the bill for the Dublin Trunk Connecting Railway, and rejecting those for the Dublin Grand Junction Railway, the Dublin Metropolitan Railway, and the Dublin Railway. The line of the Dublin Trunk Connecting Railway is proposed to be carried out in connexion with the Great Southern and Western, Dublin and Drogheda, Dublin and Kingstown, Midland Great Western, and other local lines, and in conjunction and co operation with the port and corporation of the city of Dublin. The Metropolitan Railway care for their extension to Trinity. rquare, Tower-hill, was under consideration all day, Mr Fowler, the engineer, being examined; the case for the promoters closed. Mr Denison and Mr Karslake opened the case of the 'Wilts and Glouc]stershire, with a capital of £299,000 in shares and £99,000 by loan, with power to create a 5 per cent, debenture stock, for making four railways on the mixed gauge, the first of 20 miles, from a junction with the main line of the Great Western at Christian Malford to Dudbridge, with two branches to the Great Western at Stroud, and to unite with the Stonehouse and Nailsworth Railway; witnesses were examined on the general traffic against the bill. On the reassembling of the committee on the Great Eastern Northern Junction Bill, the promoters intimated that after fully considering the whole question, they did not feel justified in accepting the proposition made by the committee of mutual traffic facili ties and reciprocal running powers as between the Great Eastern and Great Northern system of railways. The com mittee on the proposed Glasgow and North British Railway rejected that measure. The Lymington Harbour and Docks Bill, with a capital of £200,000, for a harbour and docks and reclamation of lands at Lymington, the Tottenham and Hampstcad Railway, and the Isle of Wight Ferry, passed in Mr Massey's committee. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF LORDS—Last Evening, The LORD CILANCEI44OA took his seat on the woolsack at 5 o'clock. The Bishop of OXFORD laid on the table a bill for pro viding additional facilities for the performance of service in collegiate schools and colleges in connection with the United Church of England and Ireland. The bill was read a first time. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Chittenden's Disabilities Removal, Bolton and St. Helen's Road, North British Railway (Abbey Helms and Seagate Branch), Southampton and Netley Railway, Bod min Railway, Solway Junction Railway, Scottish North- Eastern and Scottish Central Railway Companies, and Wisbeach Water Bills were read a second time. The following bills were read a third time and passed : Moira and Gresley Roads—North Western Railway— Halifax and Ovenden Junction Railway—North British Railway (Perth Branch)—and North Cheshire Water. UNION ASSESSMENT COMMITTEE ACT AMENDMENT BILL. Lord WODEHOUSE moved the second reading of this bill, the object of which was to remedy some slight defects in the act passed in 1862. After a short discussion, in which Lord St. Leonards and the Earl of Romney took part, the bill was read a second time. PENAL SERVITUDE ACTS AMENDMENT BILL. On the motion for going into committee on this bill, Lord BROUGHAM expressed his strong approval of the bill, because it brought the convicts released with a ticket of leave under the supervision of the police. Such a system had acted very well in Ireland, where it had been in opera tion for some time. Lord LYTTELTON approved of the bill, and also of the conduct of the Government in respect to what they had given and what they had refused the colonies. The house then went into ommittee. Clause 1 was agreed to. On clause 2 being read, Earl GREY moved an amendment, providing that every offender who had been previously twice convicted of felony should, on a third conviction, be sentenced to penal servi tude for not less than seven years. Earl GRANVILLE objected to the amendment, think ing that it was better to leave the amount of the sentence to the discretion of the juges. After some further conversation the amendment was adopted, and the clause agreed to. Clause 3 was agreed to, Oa clause 4, Lord HOUGHTON moved the omission of that part of the clause which required a ticket of leave man to report himself once a month to the police, and to give notice to them of every change of his residence. He thought the principle of this clause was bad in itself, because for the first time in the history of this country it proposed to invest the police with functions of tutelage and direction. The Earl of CARNARVON did not understand what alternative Lord Houghton proposed to substitute for the clause as it stood. The noble lord's position was most in consistent and illogical, for he did not abandon police su , pervision altogether, although he proposed to strike out thy provisions which were required to make it effective. The LORD CHANCELLOR said it was quite right that some authority should have the power of knowing where men with tickets of leave were, and of keeping before him the fact that the eye of the law was upon him. But it seemed to him that the clause as it at present stood was very loose. uncertain, and unsatisfactory. He would sug gest that the clause should be so modified as to make it run that a ticket•of-leave man should report himself to the police once a month, if the condition of the licence should so require it. He would leave the mode and manner in which a ticket-of-leave ;Ilan should report himself in the discretion of the officer who was charged with hie sup6r- vision. The committee then divided, when there were-- For the amendment Against it Majorit y The clause was then agreed to, with some unimportant amendments. The remaining clauses and the schedules were agreed to, and the house resur.vati. PARLIAMENTARY DIVISION. HOUSE OF co YIMONS, JUNE 7. AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS.

LADVERTISEMENT.I — HO DOWa y 'S Ointment.—Bad Legs, wounds, ulcers, and all descriptions of sores are cured by the proper and diligent use of this inestimable preparation. 20 attempt to cure bad legs by plastering the edges of the l wound together is a folly, for, should the skin unite, a boggy diseased condition remains underneath to break out with tenfold fury in a few days. The only rational and successful treatment, as indicated by nature, is to reduce the inflammation in and about the wound—to soothe the neigh bouring nerves—to cool the heated blood as it courses along its vessels---and to render the thin, watery, ichorous dis charge consistent and healthy , Holloway's Pills should be taken at the same time to purify the blood and expel the obnoxious humour from the system. GREAT EASTERN. The adjourned Wharncliffe meeting of this company was held yesterday at the London Tavern; Mr, J. Goodson in the chair. Mr Owen, the secretary, having read the notice of ad journment, The CHAtamix stated that there was only one bill suffi ciently advanced for their consideration. It was No. 6 " A bill for making railways from the Great Eastern Rail way at East Dereham to Norwich, to be called the Wen sum Valley Railway,' and for other purposes." The Solicitor read the heads of the bill; clause 44 gave power to the Great Eastern Company, with the eonsent of three-fifths of the shareholders at a meeting specially con vened for the purpose, to subscribe £72,300, or one , third cf the capital. The 45th clause authorised agreements for working the line as part of one system. A formal resolution approving the bill was carried unani mously. Mr G. P. BIDDER, a director, moved the adjournment of the meeting to that day fortnight, and said he had no doubt they had all heard with regret the decision in respect of the Great Eastern Northern Junction Bill, which was entirely against the company, as declared by the com mittee on the bill on Monday afternoon. He must say that he could not deny that the decision had given him great pain, as it was against the weight of evidence. In point of fact, they had made too great a case. They woulril see what had been stated by the committee, whose sympa thies were with the Great Northern. He would engage that if they incurred all the expenses of the inquiry over again, the result would be the same mass of evidence in favour of the bill. He thought Parliament could not resist such a case. The greater part of the extension was a level line from their system to Doncaster, and that was how their difficulties had arisen. He believed there had been no de cision on that principle since 1825, which was the commence ment of his experience in Parliamentary committees. It was an unusual occurrence to reject such a bill, as in his opinion no case could be stronger ; but it appeared to hire that the sympathy of the committee was with the Great Northern Company. The groat cause of that sympathy was that the 174 miles of proposed line from the present Great Eastern railway to Askern was the best line in the kingdom. They had made out they would bo able to save a large sum on the cost of coal for the poorest district in Lon don, amounting nearly to the aggregate of the city dues. They could have carried teal at such a price as would have saved 1175,000 a year, of which £75,000 would be in favour of the poor, and £lOO,OOO would be available as interest on the capital. They proposed to make the best line in the country. The Great Northern had not got such a line, and never could ad such a line. It was aclrod in enrnmittoo what was to become of the Great Northern if such a line were made, and sst the bill was rejected to save the prospe • rity of that company. They had shown the great advantages of the line to the public and the company. He thought the decision of 20 committees could not ultimately arrest that bill, or prevent the advantages to the public which should be derived from it. The Board of Trade would take the opinion of the shareholders to renew the application to Parliament. (Hear, hear.) s:te meeting then adjourned. GRAND TRUNK OF CANADA.

MANCHESTER, Juno 7.—Except for shipping yarns we have had a very quiet and depressed market. There has been rather more inquiry for skipping yarns, with a fair business for all the leading markets except those of India. For India there is nothing doing. For China, Russia, and the markets of the Mediterranean there has been a strong inquiry, and some rather considerable orders have been placed at full prices. For home trade yarns we have had a very quiet market. Nominally there is no change in prices, but in cases where spinners are coming out of orders they show a disposition to meet buyers on more favourable terms. The business done in this class of yarns has been very small, and prices are drooping. The depression in the cloth market is quite as great as last week, and, if anything, more intense, This is partly owing to unfavourable ad vices from India, partly to the feeling excited by the American news, and partly to the uncertainty attending the Conferences 'on the Dano-Germanic affairs. Manu facturers hold to last quotations nominally, but buyers are quite indisposed to operate on such terms, and if an;' con siderable business had to be done very much lower prices would have to be accepted. In reality little or no business has been done for export. In the home trade houses stocks are known to be a good deal exhausted, bat buyers seem afraid of replenishing them at present prices. The principal business doing, however, is in the home trade, but orders are very limited, and almost of a retail character. Messrs. John Slagg and Co. report of this day's cloth-market : "'We have still an inactive market. Manufacturers are perhaps mere disposed to accept lower prices in eases where stocks are beginning to accumulate, but the business of the day has been too small to admit of any alteration in our quatations." LEEDS, 7th. —The cloth halls have been tolerably well attended by buyers this morning, and in goods for the approaching season and in plain black cloths and unions a fair amount.of business has been done. The great bulk of transactions, however, continues to take place between manufacturers and merchants by order or by sales out of the markets, so that the business done in the halls during market time is not a perfect criterion of the state of trade. Generally speaking the woollen trade, both here and in the surrounding districts is in a sound and prosperous condi tion, and the supply in not in excess of the demand. Both the home and export houses are purchasing heavy go o d s, among which may be mentioned pilots, witncys, plusher' velvets, &c. The manufacturers and dressers are well em ployed, several in the district working overtime. The ten dency of prices for new goods is upwards, and :n all cases the rates of last month are fully maintained. NOTTINGHAM, 7th.—There was a moderate attendance at this Exchange-hall to-day, and the demand for lac 3 yarns w as slow, but prices remained firm. Hosiery yarns realised previous rates. Silks not materially altered. For bross n nets the demand was slow, but prices had a tendency to stiffen. ROCHDALE, ail s —There was not a very large attendance of flannel buyers at market to-day, but a satisfactory amount of business was done at late prices. Both heavy and light -oods are in fair request, and manufacturers are well era 00)ted on orders, so that the supply in the market is not very Ounelant. Yorkshire goods sell freely, and late prices are well .supported. Long wools aee not so firm in price as they vsesel but dealers are stiff in their demands, urging that they cantis st lower their quotations owing to the high growers. prices demanded si s° the ALUM BAY,—A Lew and extensive hotel is building at Alum Bah one p' s f the most beautiful parts of the Isle of Wight. PRICE .4d. STAMPED Naval and Military Intelligence. THE NAVY. The Colossus, screw coastguard ship, Capt. C. Codd, from Portland,steamed,into Portsmouth harbour on Monday to make good certain defects to her hull and machinery. Only a few weeks since she was stripped at Portland and fitted with new rigging. She has now gone into Portsmouth harbour for repairs to her WI end machinery, but the de fects of which will most probably prove to be so extensive that it may be necessary to place her on the reserve list, and select some other ship to take her place. The issue of new rigging might well have been deferred until t he actual con dition of her hull and machinery had been ascertained. The Racoon, 22, screw corvette, Capt. Count. Gleichen, arrived at Spithead on Monday at midday from the Medi terranean. She sailed from Gibraltar on the 27th May, and from Lisbon on the Ist inst. On the day she left Gibraltar she spoke in the straits the bark Vulcan, of Liverpool, and on the following day, off Cape St Vincent, the brig Hylson, of Shields, steering south-east. On the arrival of the Racoon at Spithead the Royal screw yacht Fairy was despatched out to her by order of the Admiral commanding, Sir Michael Seymour, G.C.8., for the service of Lieut. Prince Alfred. Count Gleiehen landed in the Fairy, and proceeded to London. The Racoon afterwards discharged her powder and shell into ordnance lighters, and went into Portsmouth harbour. Lieut. Prince Alfred yesterday landed at Portsmouth on leave, and proceeded by ordinary train on the South Western Railway to London and Windsor, to meet her Majesty and the Royal family on her Majesty's return from Balmoral. On Monday evening the Prince vieited the Royal Sovereign turret ship. The Pearl, 21, gun screw corvette, Capt. John Borlase, C. 8., arrived at Spithead yesterday afternoon from China and the Cape of Good Hope. The Pearl is ordered into Portsmouth harbour to dismantle and pay out of commis sion. She was put into commission in August, 1859, and has been chiefly occupied in China. She was in the action of Kagosima, where 12 of her crew were wounded. Only seven of the officers originally appointed have returned in her; the remainder have either died or have joined other ships on the station. The Pearl is in fair condition. Her dates are—Hong Kong, Feb. 3—Singapore, 12—Anjer, 19 Cape of Good Hope, April s—and Ascension, 21. The Pearl Jeft at Hong Kong her Majesty's ships Princess Charlotte, Encounter, Grasshopper, Coquette, Flamer, Manilla, and Hesper ; at Singapore the Rifleman, Saracen, and Janus; at the Cape the Narcissus and Salamander; and at Ascen sion the Meander and Sparrow.

Since our last week's issue some light but very acceptable rain has fallen, but though continued more or less during two or three days the downfall was in point of quantity by no means what could have been desired. Some really good soaking showers were much wanted, for what with the continued absence of rain and the effect of the ex treme heat experienced about three weeks ago, the soil had become unusually dry for the time of year. With the rain last week came extremely cold winds from the East, and in the earlier part of the week some rather sharp white frosts prevailed. Com plaints are made that the fruit trees have in some instances suffered somewhat severely from the frost, and French beans are said to h ave b een com pletely destroyed by it. On Saturday an agreeabl e change took place—the wind shifted round to the south, and a much more seasonable temperature, with warm sun, has since prevailed. The grain crops continue to look remarkably well, and from all quarters good accounts are received both as to them and as regards beans and peas. The wheats are in many places ready to burst into oar, and the present warmth, following upon the recent rains, will doubtless have a most stimulating effect. Accounts speak of " heaps of grass"—which is good hearing"—both as regards pastures and the haymaking —for 'which the present weather is highly favourable. The reports from the hop districts are on the whole extremely promising. The effect of the low temperature, the cold winds, and the morning frosts experienced a week or so back, was, of course, srl verse, and a sensible check was given to the growth. The recent rains, however, were extremely benefi cial, and the change to warmer temperature and the subsequent sunshine giving a fresh impetus to the growth of the bine. As yet the plantations appear more than usually free from vermin, though there are reports of fiy and red spider in some gardens. We are now arriving at a critical.period for the hop plantations, and the weather for the next two or three weeks will be watched with much anxiety by the planters. At present the prospects are promis ing. The bine has arrived at a stage in its growth when its strength will enable it to stand up aga i nst those attacks of its numerous enemies to which it is proverbially liable. lirith fine and genial weather the hop plant will bear and overcome a great deal to which under less favourable conditions it would succumb. So far as p resent a pp earances go , there is every ground t o ho p e for a g ood hop crop. But that is all one can venture to say ; since it is far too early to predi ct with an y confid ence what may or ma y not be brought about by the next two months. As yet there is every ground for hope.—Sussex Advertiser. IN.ElvspAp Eit t \'fice Robert Edmund Lee was born, in • English family whicat been settled/1i Viiiinista for many generations before the American colonies separated themselves frcm their allegiance to Great Britain. He is a gentleman by birth, breeding, and social position. He is a large landed proprietor, being the owner of Whitehouses, an estate formerly belonging to Washington, which is situated upon Arlington Heights, on the Virginia store of the . Potomac, overlooking the city of Washington, which takes its name from that hero: Lee was regularly educated for the profession of arms in the United States Military Academy at vVast Point. He served in the Engineer Corps in the Mexican campaign. At the battle of Chapultepec ho was severely wounded, and was twice promoted for conspi— MIMS gallantry during that war ; though it was considered that neither Lee nor Beaure. gar!, who also behaved with great distinction in Mexico, obtained ee much notice as they deserved in the despatches of General Scott. In 1852 Mijor Lee WAS eppointed Supurintendont of the Military Academy; but three years afterwards he was sent to Europe in company with M'Ciellan, then captain, as American military commissioners, to study ate proceedings of the French and English armies is the siege of Sebastopol. Oa that occasion Lee was advanced to the rank of Lientenint-Colonel of the 2d Regiment of Cavalry, and this was his position at the beginning of 1861, when the war of secession broke out. He was at San Antonio, in Texas, com mending his own regiment, when he heard that the State of Virginia, which he regards aa his proper country, had withdrawn from the Federal Union, and that the Northern. States were going to make war upon the South to force them to return to their allegiance. Colonel Lee felt it was his duty under these circumstances to be a ioldier of Virginia, and no longer a servant of the Federal Government in which Virginia had now no part. Ha raised a small body of militia in his own neighbour rood to occupy Arlington Heights, but was ordered by the Con federate Government to fall back en Fairfax Court House, while Beauregard was preparing to meet the first onset of the enemy at Manassas and Bull Run. President Jtfferson Davis, however, soon dis cerned in Lee the man whom the emergency re quired, and called him to a higher post. He was appointed General and Commander of the Forces in Virginia; and taking up the remnant of Garnett's corps, which had been shattered by 31‘Clellan at Rich Mountain, he soon cleared the north-west counties of the enemy's presence. After performing this service he took charge of the Ministry of War at Richmond, and applied himself to the immense preparations that were necessary for the campaign of 1862. In planning that campaign it was General Lee's opinion, contrary to the judgment of Beaure gard,thatthe best lines for the defences of Richmond were—firstly, that of the Rappahannock; and, secondly, that of the Rapidan ; whereas Beauregard would have drawn them further north, at Manassas Gap and Bull Ran. That General Lee was in the right has been proved by the campaigns of 1863 and 1864. Thestrip of country betwean the Rapidan and Rich mond being hilly and thickly wooded, gave him peculiar facilities for constructing those fortig fled positions on which his skill as a military engi neer, in the intervals of active campaigning, has been constantly employed. It will be remembered that General M'Clellan, his worthy antagonist in 1862, was so convinced of the impregnability of these lines, guarding the direct road by Fredericks burg to the Confederate capital, that he sought to turn them by transporting his army down Chess.- peke Bay to the peninsula below Richmond, and. landing on the banks of the :Tames River. But the Federal army, wasted by a series of fiercely-fought battles and by the disease of an unhealthy climate at midsummer, was compelled to abandon the prize which then seemed almost within its grasp. It was at that period, when General Joseph Johnston was disabled in the battle of Savers Pines, that General Lee succeeded to the fillprenati command of the Confederate armies in the field. Promptly taking advantage of the weak position of Nl‘Cle:lln who lay too loosely on both banks of the Caickahominy, sepa rated arum M'llowell and his other supports, Lce sallied out of _Richmond and attacked him with such pertioaexus energy that, in seven days' conrinuous fighting, the Foderals wen) driven to their /Mips. l'ilu q )ent movements in the Uil'per Putlern-..c, and the w;.ulo eampigu of 1:363 were conducted ca a very cl:ff,rtut principle. So long as Genera': Lee stood an the defensive in the neighbourhood of Fre dericksburg he could secure his chosen line of the Rappahannock against all the attempts of Burnside and Hooker to make their way south. But when, having defeated Hooker at Chancellorsville, he ventured bey and the defences of Virginia, and in vaded the territory of Maryland, necessarily losing much time by a circuitous road to the west,General Lee was not co successful. The checks which Gen. M'Ciellan at Antietam Creek, and General Meade at Gettysburg, administered to the Con , federate army had more effect, probably, than any other incidents of this war in defining the regular capabilities of the two hostile forces. It seemed to be as difficult for the South to approach Baltimore and Washington as for the North to conquer Rich. mond. The remainder of last year was chiefly em ployed by Gen. Lee in controlling and succouring the army of Tennessee, while taking measures, no doubt, for a renewal of the contest in Virginia, which we have just seen recommenced with so much greater fury. General Lee is still in the prime and vigour of manhood. He is six feet in height, ;erheacat, clear, well formed, and of imposing appearance bright, benignant black eyes, dark grey hair, and a heavy grey beard. He is exceedingly plain in his dress, and you look at his costume in vain for the insignia of rank. He wears an unassuming black felt hat, with a narrow strip of gold lace around it, and a plain brigadier's coat with three stars on the collar, but without the usual braiding on the sleeves. He travels and sleeps in an ambulance when the army is in motion, and occupies a tent when it is stationary, and not the largest and best house in the neighbourhood, as is the custom of some officers. He cares but little for appearances, and is content to take the same fare his soldiers receive. In character and personal deportment he is ardent, grave, and dignified, yet modest and even distrust ful of his own abilities. The descendant of a gallant officer of the elder revolution, the husband of the grand-daughter (by adoption) of GeneralWatehhe ington, the inheritor o f a l arge estate, and trusted leader of a great and victorious army, nevertheless acces s ibl e t o the hum ble st and he i S most rousgtgaeoddsoklidoidertoinatllh.e Duringrsnks,ctohnertteimouestthoehaisrmoffiycwerase, j in Maryland, an officer o f high position suggested Geenner under re. that he was e in di s e s o n s p e p i o o n r . t a of nu a mb g e r r av o e f reasons nleasu to then re Among trustedby h er ie s , Government, he h had th e h ear t s o f hi s soldiers, and posse ssed the entire confidence of hi s country, and that they relied implicitly upon hi s patriotism and genius.

ENLISTMENTS.—A return of the enlistments of the army at the several recruiting districts in the United Kingdom in the last four years shows a great vat iation in numbers, but enlistments aro of course mainly regulated by the wants of the army. In 1563 21,664 :nen were enlisted, in 1861, 8,138 —in 1802, 4,6l2—and in 1863, 6,294. The number enlisted in 1863 therefore was rather less than a third of the number in 1860, but the proportion did not fall equally in each of the three countries. In 1860 there were 10,602 men enlisted in England, but in 1863 only 3,766—in Scotland, 1,779 in 186., and as many as 1,114 in 1863—in Ireland 4,283 in 1860, and as many as 2,044 iD 1863.
