TO the ELECTORS of the CITY of LONDON. GENTLEMEN,—In compliance with the wishes of many vt my friends in the City, who think that the sentiments I expressed at the meeting of the Liberal Association on Tuesday last have not been published so fully as they ex pected. I venture respectfully to place before the electors the grounds on which I claimed the honour o!' their suffrages. 3 1 - y political life beean with the first agitation of the Corn J-aws, and I was a member of the Anti-Corn Law League which, under the guidance of Mr. Richard Cobden, achieved Veer repeal--the greatest Social revolution of the age. I then took an active interest in the ahroz Ilion of the Naviga tion Laws, although it was a question which tried the con sistency of free treaers more than many of the old school of shipowners could endure. TheSe and the other fiscal changes of the last twenty years tontr'buted so much to the happiness and prosperity of the country that the grounds for controversy have been narrowed 'Very much to the Church Rates and the Ballot. On the first tot these I never hesitated for a moment to admit they were most discreditable to churchmen, who would gladly raise the NUM by a voluntary rate, and that, forcible exaction should cease without delay. As to the Ballot, although never (T -ex) ed to it, I considered that the growing indifference - throughout the country, and the sickly course it was running in the House of Commons, did not warrant a Quixotic at ' tempt to press it on the constituencies of England at this time, feeling sure that if the want of it became a grievance it must soot. be redressed, and I should be then ready to take my share in the work. On the question of the franchise I declined to commit my eel to its immediate or early reduction, and I based this heel ation, not only on what had taken place in America, but in a field for a fairer trial of democratic government than any other place in the world—Victoria, Australia—where the working classes, being chiefly men who had paid their own passages, involving an outlay of £l5 to £2O, would compare very favourably with these they had left behind—that they had ac quired universal suffrage, and the use they had put it to, as far as they could, was social and political retrogression. 'l' , at the community had felt its effects so sensibly that it lost no time in retracing its steps, and within four years a new electoral amendment act was passing triumphantly (in- Volvine for the first time the e:incation test of the elector's signature) which would disfranchise from one-third to one half the electors. At the same time, I stated my willingnees to extend the £'o franchise to lodgers, and also would be glad to see its equalisation in the country as in the towns. It is a great mistake, as I mentioned, to supp 'se that me thanks are now debarred the right of voting, for four shil lings a week is so low in th e social scale the. t no workman above the limit of an inferior labourer but lives in a house at a higher rent, and if he would b • a yearly instead of a weekly occupier, he needs no red uc ti on in the franchise to acqu re his qualification. On t e question of our foreign policy I was quite prepared to take my stand with Lord a° P 1 erston's Government ; and in any vote for the support of the army and navy, I stated that while I would endeavour to control any unnecessary or doubtful expenditure, I should insist upon the strength and efficiency of the Fervices being such as would prevent a repetition of the panics of former years, which were o iscreditable to the nation, injurious to com merce, and i nv i ted insult, if not aggression—thati the cost was simply a premium of' insurance for security, and are , ex - penditure that we Was preferable, In a country like ours, to feeling were not covered from all ordinary or even extraor dinary risks, _ In defen di ng th e privileges of the City I had no misgivings. It remains the last twimmairod xaensooal critraall"" K Dresentstive gn*E , rtitiketititaltaditions are lift atately aseo ciateil with our national history`-it still:retains the vigour of maturity, and enjeys the Su a confidence the vast influential body Within its bounds: • municipality de, erves the respect of the country, and I should in common with my fellow-citizens endeavour to teach 'all rash innovators that e had the power and the will to enforce it. . In submitting my name to the consideration of the Liberal electors represented by their committee, I determined to abide their decision, and not permit myself .to be a party to any division in the camp. Uniformity of opinion I never expected, but at some future period my sentiments, which Save been mellowed by experience, may then prove more acceptable to the constituency than on the present' occasion. —Yours most respectfully,: T.

The ship was then put under full steam and sail, and we started on our couree at the rate of 11i miles an hour. An observa tion of the sun was taken at 12 a.m., when in the ice, show- ing our position at that time to be 46 54 N. lat., and 47 24 W. long. On getting clear of the ice other observations were taken to confirm that of 12. The captain had instruc- tions from the agents of the ship at Liverpool to call at Cape Race, Newfoundland, for a telegram, which would inform him if the Gulph and River St. Lawrence were clear of ice; and, in conversation with me that afternoon, he congratu lated himself on the weather being clear, and that he would be able to sight the Cape early next morning. During the night, the weather became foggy. I got up at 7, and went on deck; saw the captain, and expressed my regret at the change in the weather, and asked him if, under present cir cumstances, he still intended to make cape Race. He re , I have changed, the coursvf the shill, and will not now fe,66..vd inY satisfactiOn, made some remarks on the great responsibility resting on him, with so many people on board, to which he replied that he deeply felt that responsibility. I could not avid being anxious, With my knowledge of our proximity to Newfoundland in such foggy weather, and at 10 a.m. I again availed myself of my intimacy with Captain Burgess to ask him where he thought we then were. His reply was, We are now about 16 miles south of Newfoundland, and at 12 o'clock we shall be 20 miles south of Cape Race.' We were then going half speed, or six miles an hour. This reply of the captain made me feel satisfied. " About an hour afterwards I was down in Miss Young's state room; and Florence, looking out of the dead-light shoreward, cried Oh, papa, look st the iceberg,' I glanced out, and to my horror saw, at about 20 feet distant, what I supposed to be an iceberg; but what I thought an iceberg was merely the white spray of the broken sea running down the precipitous sides of a cliff. The ship had not then struck. I ran on deck, but before I got there she had struck with her bow heavily. Engines were stopped ; she swung alongside the cliff, and struck with terrible force on the side of the ship. Engines were reversed with the view of turning out the stern seaward, but the wind and a very heavy sea prevented this ; and instead of the stern swing ing out, it struck on a rather projecting part of the rock, rendering useless the screw and rudder. As she came down with each receding wave on the side and stern on the rocks, the terrible noise of the crashing thus created, joined with the noise of the surf beating on the rocks, was perfectly awful. The fog was very dense, the cliff on which we had struck was very precipitous, nor could we see the tap of it from the ship. lat once saw that the ship would become a wreck, and would soon break up, and believed it impos sible that many could be saved. I went at once to Mrs. Young and told her plainly our situation, said I would do all I could, explained to her that as there was no rock under the centre of the ship that the saloon was as safe a place then as any other, and that I wished her to have all the children, Miss Inglis, and Charlotte together in one corner of , the, saloon, not to move from there without my personal request, to get some warm clothing, and to put some bread in the pockets of their dresses, Nothing could exceed the quiet resignation of all my party. Charlotte Was . quite calm, and busied herself in helping to dress the children, and showed great forethought about everything, and no signs of fear. I have frequently seen evidence of the nerve and, resolution of Mrs. Young, but her conduct, and that of Miss Inglis, on this occasion was beyond all praise. I went from them on deck ; saw the captain on the bridge, who, remarking that this was a terrible affair, gave an order to let' both bow anchors go,' I saw that his order was not heard in the tumult of voices, and asked if he would allow me to give the order. I went forward and did Eo. Orders were then given to lower boats, and the captain .snperintended-the rigging out of spars to the rocks, getting a rope ashore, and rigging on it a kind of basket, in which the women steerage passengers were being put on the rocks, about 40 feet distant. The captain and second officer per sonally attended to this. Few of the sailors were there, for, I regret to say, they made early for the boats, and kept outside of the ship, without making those efforts to save life which, I believe, should and could have been done, I came back to the stern, feeling convinced that there was no chance for my people forward, among so many, struggling for their turn ; but nothing was being done for the cabin passengers. I cried to five sailors in the long boat, about 100 yards distant, to come alongside, but they paid no at tention to my request. "I ran forward again to the bow, spoke to the captain, and asked him what was to be done for the women and children in the cabin. He said, " See Mr. Hoare, first officer, and tell him from me to get a boat alongside at once.' The only boat left was the starboard. quarter boat, which was small. She was coming alongside, when the captain came aft, and joined with myself and first officer in entreating the five sailors in the long-boat to come in with their boat. At this juncture, the captain requested Mr. Green, the mail officer, to go out, and, if necessary, compel the men in the longboat to come in. This Mr. Green accomplished. The ship was now fast sinking, but most of us thought she would hold on to the rocks for some time. A derrick to lower the women was ready to lower them into the boats. Mrs. Young went first. My party, by my orders, were all round the spot from whence they were to be lowered. The children were mostly dropped into the boats by hand as the boats rose on the wave. One sick lady was lowered down, then the stewardess, and only Miss Inglis, Anne, and Charlotte remained, and their turn had come. The captain here spoke to me. I told him all will be on board at once. I said I could be prepared to assist him in any way I could. His reply was—.' The ship won't last many minutes; save yourself if you can.' Char lotte then having come, and the captain promising to see them over, I sprang from the ship, and fortunately reached the boat, with some bruises, and had the satisfaction of seeing them all on board, when we bad to push out from the ship. All the ladies in the saloon wore eased except three. The boats had barely time to get away from the ship when she fell over, and in a very few minutes was submerged, The shrieks of the dying and of those on the upper deck when the ship fell over will never be forgotten by those who heard them. Mrs. Young, I, and the seven children were in the small boat, besides two other children, a boy and a girl, from the steerage, whose mother threw them into the boat as we were leaving, bat could not reach it herself. Besides these children, we had 17 full-grown persons in the boat, having picked up Captain Cassiday, of the 30th Regiment, and the Rev. Mr. Eaton, of England, swimming in life preservers. The long-boat had 43 persons on board, and there was another boat with 23 on board. The long-boat was under command of Mr. Hoare, first officer. Our boat was under command of Mr. Green, mail officer. and the third boat under Mr. Scott, fourth officer. We met and agreed to keep together. To lighten our boat our water casks had been thrown overboard ; we had no bread and no food of any kind; there was no time to take any of the warm clothing made ready. The fog was very dense, we could only see a short distance ahead. We pulled some distance, as we supposed, alongshore, for the noise of the surf breaking on the rocks enabled us to distinguish the land side. Late in the afternoon we determined to try land, but we soon got into broken water, showing us the danger and impossibility of landing. The sea ran very high, and the pitching of the boat made the children and some of the elders very sea- sick. As night came on, I packed the chil dren in the bottom of the boat as close as I could. They were all very wet, and Freddy had no shoes on ; and being all thinly clad, we suffered from cold and shivering. It rained heavily during the night, and we got thoroughly drenched. This, however, we rejoiced in, because we knew that the fog is generally thereby cleared off. We had the three boats tied together with their painters most of the night, and managed thus to keep together; still, in such a sea it was difficult to prevent collisions. About midnight the fog cleared away—we commenced rowing and steered north, and anxiously wished for the morning. We did not know where we were, and all of us thought our chance of life a poor one. Had the fog continued, or had the wind came from the shore, we would have been driven to sea and probably perished miserably—but God had willed it other wise. As day broke we thought we saw a light ; we made test, then we saw three coloured lights,which we knew was a steamer,and we gave her a round of cheering which could them a distance of only be given in such a style by persons similarly situated. Som e of those who landed from the Anglo-Se" on, on get ting to the top of the cliff, discovered the telegraph poles John's, and the people eilmectin o g —aPe Race with St. John's, and they followed wisdom, despatched the The operator at C four miles from . the ecene of the wreck. Race telegraphed the disaster to St. there, with great promptitude and e to seek for the boats and small steamer which picked us up 17 hours in the boats, and, renderfr aid. We had been about we at once experienced the feoemli a state of extreme anxiety, nothing whatever, except what 7 4 :f intense joy.

Yet M. de Persigny points complacently to the columns of the journals in which addresses impugning or denying every article of the Imperial faith are impudently displayed, and at - lc whether this is not public liberty ? In some instances it appears that Go vernment candidates have been authorised to hold meetings, to explain their sentiments, and to form committees; as for their placards, they have had every dead wall at their service, every printer at ttleir orders and the public money to pay for their distribution. The addresses of the Government candidates in Paris have been printed on splendid paper, and posted to every householder at the ex pense of the State. Such is M. de Persigny's bene ficent interpretation of " the public good." Cor ruption and intimidation of some sort or other are not perhaps peculiar to France under the Empire. Bat corruption and intimidation on so vast a scale as this, practised by the Government at the cost of the taxpayers, and by a Government professing to be based on universal suffrage, with half-a-million functionaries at its absolute disposal, and armed with a whole arsenal of arbitrary decrees having force of laws—surely modern Europe has never seen till now. And yet, with all this machinery at his command for conducting and controlling "the national will," M. de Persigny is visibly discon certed at the appearance of five or six names of leaders of " the old parties" among the independent candidates. Never was there a, more flagrant in- stance of official zeal ! With one "breath M. der Persigny, through his joutpals, scoffs nt the insig nificance of these returning„,veterans, of obsolete par ties and representatives of rejected 'systems, and puffs them into importance and pop'ula'rity by vitu perative epithets, instead of accepting their. allegi ance, welcoming their conversion, absorbing and annihilating their independence, and Clasping them body and soul to the embrace of a liberal and con stitutional despotism. M.de Moray shneved a keener discernment of men and things when he spoke of these eminent independent candidates as so much " ballast" to the Second Empire. •For in the oath of allegiance (with whatever mental reservations, and even if they have not the almost superstitious re verence for the sanctity of this oath which M. De Persigny teaches), M. Thiers and 'his associates do alccept the Second Empire,, and kiotas they accepted the Republic of 1848 which they Succeeded in de stroying, as an accident, a' surprise, tt catastrophe, but as an established governmeht amenable to friendly criticism, and susceptiblaof legal reform. In coming forward as independent candidates for seats in the Legislative Chamber, the leaders of the Old parties perform an act of " happy despatch" upon their political selves. To impartial observers it seems unaccountable that M. De Persigny should look an Orleanist candidate in the month. POST.—The first session of the first Parliament of the kingdom of Italy closed only a fortnight ago, and after an interval of ten days, the second session has already commenced. If the first session, 28 months in duration, of the Italian Legislature, might be regarded as furnishing the Pleasure in time for the sessions that are to follow, the consti tutional annals of Italy will soon have the advan tage over those of England, and exhibit not one , hut a series of " long parliamentsX The extreme length of the session just terminated arose chiefly from the fact that the amount of general legislation With which the Chambers were occupied in 1861 land 18t2 left them no time to enter into a detailed lexamination of the Budget until the commencement of the present year; and although Credits were granted provisionally from time to time, it was neces3ary that the entire Budget should be regu larly discussed and voted before the session could be brought to a legal close. The senators and deputies who last Monday assembled round King Victor Emmanuel might look back with a feeling of, ore the whole, honest satisfaction at their 28 months' work. It is true that the new State is still shorn of its capital, that the iron hand of Austria presses down more heavily perhaps than ever on the Venetian pro vinces, and that the establishment of order in the southern portion of the peninsula is a difficult and tedious task. Butt the-karal ripeninTof-tho Roman question, from which alone Count Cavour hoped and predicted its solution, is daily making greater pro gress in the judgment of the Catholic world. On the Austrian Court itself there is beginning to strike the first faint rays of a conviction that, both politi cally and financially, the retention of Venice is, if not a positive loss, but a sorry gain ; whilst increas ing commerce, and roads, and bridges, and schools, and the press, with impartial execution of civil and criminal justice, and the mutual intercourse and con fidence which all these create, promise, in the Nea politan territory, gradually to remove the chronic causes of brigandage, and to convert the semi-bar barous Abruzzese or Calabrian peasant into an honest and useful citizen. The doggrel lines recording the social wonders worked in our own Scottish High lands by the roads of Wade may, a score of years hence, find their illustration and counterpart in some homely Neapolitan distich on the changes there wrought by the iron rails and steam cars which have already invaded Pescara, and which will beforelong reach Brindisi. When an Englishman proceeds to examine in detail the legislative work done in the first session of the Italian Parliament it is impos sible for him, if he be unbiassed by peep or sec tarian prejudice, to resist the conviction that the Italian senators and deputies have laboured steadily and honestly to promote the welfare of their com mon country. The measures mobilising the entire National Guard of Italy, for consolidating the sepa rate debts of the previous Governments, for regu lating the pensions of the civil functionaries, for establishing loan and deposit panks, for regulating the law of inortmain and taxing Church property, for introducing a uniform postal system and a uni• form rate of postage, for taking the general census of the population, for transferring conventional pro perty to the Church fund, for regulating the civil list, and, above all, for conferring on Italy a vast and efficient system of railway communication — these are but the more prominent achievements of the session of the Italian Parliament that has closed. For that which has just opened sufficient work appears to be cut out. The land tax, the ge neral laws of customs and excise, the property tax, the discussion of the commercial treaty with France, and of the commercial treaties with other States by which it is to be followed, the Parlia mentary Commission on the state of national edu cation ; but above all these questions, and modify ing them all, the proposed law for settling the attributions of the provincial and communal coun cils—a measure of which the details will open up the whole question of centralisation and local self government. In the right adjustment of these questions the representatives of Italy will find ample scope for the full employment of their powers, and ample opportunities of largely earning the gratitude of their countrymen. We do not, we confess, envy the state of mind of the politicians who in any country, but especially in our own, view the prosecution of these legislative labours in Italy with a malignant and jealous eye. We do not envy the feelings of those who, to such a snee r tacle of well-regulated national aims and effo!tnis, would prefer the sight of the Bourbon deep again fastened upon Naples, or the Ilapsbau:g raine imbecility triumphant in Mod y. a n each d Tus cany.

TlsiEs.—Such speeches as that of Mr. Gregory last night on the affairs of Turkey aro not likely to be wanting in future years. There are some evils which the wise man sees to be irremovable by any OfTiettelhat his contemporaries can make. That they will be removed, that their foundations are already loosened, and their fabric tottering, he can well see, and he is as certain as he be of anything future that the time will come when they will have passed away. But to accelerate the tree's growth or the glacier's progression would be as easy as to force on the political development which is some times necessary to the peace and wellbeing of a country. Mr. Gregory last evening told the house the melancholy tale of Turkish tyranny and desola tion. From the despatches of Ambassadors, the reports of Consuls, the testimony of travellers, he showed that in every region, from the Danube to the Euphrates, the Turkish Administration is, as it has always been, feeble, capricious; and corrupt. Bosnia and Bulgaria, as well as Syria and the Le banon, are , exposed to all that grasping Governors and intriguing underlings can effect. These things are so generally reported by all whom business - or official functions have established in the East that we should be refusing human testimony its due rights if we declined to admit their truth. Nor can any reflecting man require much evidence to con vince him that Turkish authority is still a cruel wrong to the populations it rules, and to the noble regions they inhabit. In this matter there is a common basis of history which is admitted both by the defenders and the eccusere of the Turk. No one can:doubt that for four centuries the European pro vinces have been subjected to a rule which has de graded the Christian population, destroyed every industry but the commonest agriculture, andchecked even this by imposts and exactions, by the insecu rity of property and the impossibility of obtaining justice at the tribunals. If this has been the state of things from time immemorial, is it likely that it has totally changed during the last 20 years, or whatever may be the term during which Turkish amendment has, according to its admirers,- been in progress P It certainly rests vpint those who assert that a complete revolution has, taken, place in the Mussulman character to give same sa, tisfactory proof of this wonderful change, for the, presumption is that the instincts and habits of 1,200 years remain what they were, and 'have 'not' 'l;sen eradicated either by the lecturing 'of European statesmen or by the liberal manifesteestf the Porte. For our own part we are quite prepared to learn that in spite of the exertions ofiEuropean Powers, in spite of the elaborate machinery of consuls and vice e consuls, who exercise such extraordinary func tions in Turkey, the situation of the Rayahs has been little altered for the better. Of course, to a certain extent they suffer with their Mahomedan fellow subjects. Whatever there is oppressive in c the v exatious imposts of the country is felt both by Christian and Mahomedan, and there is_.probtOly little to choose between the lot of the believing and unbelieving peasants so far as regards the extor tions of his masters. But socially and legally the position of the Christian is still undoubtedly most unfortunate. Whatever Europeans may do, and however much he may be advised of his rights, he has neither the power nor the courage to place him self on an equality with the Mussulman. His evi dence, in spite of repeated declarations by the Porte, is rejected by the courts in many parts of the coune try, and everywhere it is of little use to him to be able to give evidence if the judge makes it a prac tice never to believe him. The right of acquiring land is useless to men whose position before the courts of law is one of inferiority; and it is said the attempts of the Christians to become more gene rally possessors of the soil have in some parts aroused the strong jealousy of the Turkish popula tion. From the manner in which the subject was treated in the House it is evident that the theory of Turkish regeneration, which was so popular 10 years ago, has been shaken. On this theory the whole foreign policy of England has been built, for the last quarter of a century. It has been up held with wonderful consistency by Liberal Minis ters, even after they have been relieved from their traditional terror of the Russian Autocrat. Rely ing on it, we not only went to war for the indepen dence and integrity of the Ottoman Empire, but we have supported its Government both then and since by loans which give the public an interest in keeping up the present order of things. The fancy by which Englishmen reconciled this Mussulman partisanship to their consciences was that the Turks had been humbled by a knowledge of the strength of the Christian Powers, and enlightened by their teaching. The Sultan was a well-disposed man ; the Councils of the Porte were directed by in structed and travelled Ministers ; the Turks gene rally were willing to admit the Christians to equal rights, and if there was any ignorant opposition in the more remote provinces it might be overcome through the watchfulness of the Consuls, who would bring any violation of the Sultan's new statutes under the notice of the Christian Ambas sadors, and thus obtain a remedy. Those who re lied on this view of the future forgot the invete racy of habit and the powerlessness of mere paper proclamations to change the policy of an Empire. All the progress which the Christians have made is to be ascribed rather to the decay than to the re generation of the Turks,—to their weakness rather than their justice. The gradual elevation of the Rayah population is the work of deeper causes than are contained in any Hatti-Sherif. Just as the progress of the Christians in wealth and in dustry has been used by philo-Turkish politicians as a statistical proof of the advance of their fa vourites, so now the struggles of the Christians towards something better in spite of the disadvan tages under which they live are given as proofs that the present domination encourages their progress. But the truth is that except by wasting away, and thus losing their hold on the Christians, the Turks have in no way contributed to any im provement in the condition of their Rayahs. It is to the continuance of this process that we must look for real progress, and not to any nominal reform of laws which are to be administered by Turkish judges and officials under the Government of a Turkish Pasha. As long as two populations, Mas sulman and Christian, are intermingled, with the one essentially dominant over the other, the idea of equal justice or social equality is the wildest of dreams. Equality between the whites and blacks of America is not more impossible than between the conquering religion and those who are tribu taries to it.

The Committee of Management have to state that, since he beginning of the year 1860, the Royal National Lifeboat Institution has expended £32,000 on various Lifeboat Estab lishments on the Coasts of England, Scotland, and Ireland. The number of lives saved by the Life-boats of the Society and other means, since its formation, is 12 , 800 : for which services 82 Gold Medals, 718 Silver Medals, and £16,980 in cash have been paid in rewards. The Institu tion has also expended £67,( 'OO on Life-boats, Life-boat Transporting -cart cages, and Boat-houses. The Committee desire to express their grateful sense of the generous support which they have received from the British public during the past few years, a support which has enabled them to establish their present magnificent fleet nt 123 Lifeboats on the shores of the United Kingdom. Deeply sensible, however, of the great responsibility that revs on them to maintain their fleet in a thoroughly efficient state, and its Crews practised in the management of their boats, whi^h can only be effected by a large and permanent annual income, they earnestly appeal to all classes of their countrymen to aid them in upholdinog, and perpetuating so great and truly national a work.

(REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) EVACUATION OF VICKSBURG. (Per the Australasian.) NEW YORK, May 19, Morning. The Federal loss in killed, wounded, and missing the late battlei at Chancellorsvillo is officially estimated at 13,500, and the loss in prisoners at 4,500. The Confederates have thrown up extensive earth works along the ridge of the hills in the rear and to the left of Fredericksburg. It is reported that Gen. Hooker will be reinforced from the troops around Washington and Baltimore and on the Virginia and Maryland railroads, their places being sup plied by the Pennsylvania militia. Colonel Grier- 80D, with a brigade of Illinois and lowa catalry 'ram General Grant's army, has made an extraor- dinary raid, passing from Tennessee through the heart of Mississippi, and reaching safely Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Northern correspondents as- sett that Colonel Grierson travelled 800 miles in seventeen days, destroying 4,000,000 dols. worth of property, and portions of most important railroads. It is also stated that he captured 1,000 prisoners and 1,200 horses, and defeated the enemy at nume rous points, all resulting in advantage to General Grant's movements. Col, Grierson has been received at New Orleans with great public demonstrations. Admiral Farragut has arrived at Nqw,Orleans, having passed in a small gunboat through the Atchafalaya and Grand Lake. He has brought in telligence that Admiral Porter, with his own fleet and portion of his (Farraguee) gunboats, took pos session of Alexandria, 70 miles up the Red River, an the Gth inst.. On the same day General Banks' forces arrived at Alexandria, forming a junction with Admiral Porter. Alexandria was abandoned by the Confederates, who retreated to Schreveport, and took their gun ! boats above Red River falls. The capture of Alexandria interferes with the Confederate supplies from Texas and Arkansas. It is reported that Admiral Farragut will imme diately attack Port Hudson with the fleet from below, in conjunction with Admiral Porter's fleet from above. Some accounts state that the bombardment has commenced. The Northern press think that Grant, Porter, and Farragut's present movements will insure the open ing of the Mississippi. Captain Dwight having been killed by guerillas in the neighbourhood of Opelousas, General Banks has ordered 100 inhabitants of that region to be arrested, and kept in close confinement at New Orleans until the guerillas are given up. Gen. Banks has ordered an organisation of coloured troops, to be called the Corps d'Afrique,and to con sist of 18 regiments of infantry, cavalry, and artil lery. They are to be organised and instructed by the best army officers. In consequence of disturb ances at places of amusement in New Orleans, the Provost-Marshal has ordered all the programmes of all the entertainments to be submitted to him. They were not to be interspersed with national airs. Several New Orleans schoolmistresses have been heavily fined for permitting the children to draw rebel flags and sing rebel songs. Heavy firing had been heard at New Orleans in the direction of , Charleston;harbour on the 14th inst: It was supposed. to arise from an attack by Federal Monitoreon the - Qonfederate batteries oti' Morris Island. The Charleston papers saithat the guns of the Keokuk 'Were raised, and will be mounted at Charleston. The Confederates hake 'made a raid in Kanawha Valley, capturing one cO4pany'of :Fedeial cavalry,' portions of two infaii — try eduipanies, and 40 waggons. The following letter from the President of the Confederate States is communicated to the army as an expression of his appieciation of its success : " I have received your despatch, and reverently unite with you in giving praise to God for the success with which he has crowned our arms. "In the name of the people, I offer my cordial thanks to yourself and the troops under your com mand for this addition to the unprecedented series of great victories which your army has achieved. The universal rejoicing produced by this happy result will be mingled with a general regret for the good and the brave who are numbered among the killed and wounded. " 11. E. LEE, General." The Vallandigham excitement is inereasing. The military court, with Gen. Burnside's concurrence, has sentenced Mr. Vallandigham to close imprison ment in Fort Warren during the war. A meeting has been held at Albany, denouncing the arrest, at which several disturbances occurred through a feel log of opposition being known to the meeting by some soldiers returned from the war. The Go vernor of New York sent a message to the meeting characterising Mr. Vallandigham's arrest as " an act bringing dishonour upon the country, and full of danger to our persons and homes— bearing upon its front a conscious violation of law and justice." The decision of the adminis tratiod, for which the Governor looks with solemn solicitude, will determine, he says, whether the war is waged to put down the Southern rebellion or to destroy the Northern free institutions. A large meeting has also been held in Union square, New Yolk, at which letters were read from the leading democrats, and speeches made and reso lutions passed denouncing the arre st of Mr. Yellen digham. There was considerable excitement at the meeting, and a large reserve of police was at hand. No disturbance, however, took place. The New York Daily News has recommenced publication under the auspices of Mr. Benjami n to the and attributes to W fur o t c h d e . r p l r t es a e n ee n t o i u e n n c e es f t i h ts e el w f e a r : opposed the administration purposes ulterior to the recon struction of republicantionoftheUnioinns,taitnudtionnos.t acc ording with the spirit The steamer Britain has arrived at Charleston.

The State Capitol at Jackson was burnt. Despatches from Gen. Grant state that the Con federates had evacuated Vicksburg, and that the entire Confederate force was moving northwards to reinforce Gen. Bragg for the purpose of attacking Rosencranz. Federal reinforcements would be thrown forward to intercept the Confederate movement, and strengthen Rosencranz. Gen. Jos. Johnstone com mands the Confederates, who are moving from Vick sburg. 17,000 Confederates, w i th 14 pieces of artillery are reported to have crossed the Cumber land River, and advanced on Richmond, Kentucky, with the view of flanking General Rosencranz, and compelling him to abandon his position at Murfrees boro. Twenty-eight Confederate regiments are stated to be at Norris Town, East Tennessee, for the same purpose. This report is not credited in Louis ville, but believed to be set afloat to prevent the Federal , ' reinforcing General Rosencranz or invad ing East Tennessee. The press continues unanimous in denouncing Mr. Vallandigham's arrest. In consequence of the determination of the Con federate Government not to regard negro troops or their officers as war prisoners, the coloured people of 'Washington have petitioned President Lincoln to adopt retaliatory measures. Official instructions have been issued to the officers of the Federal army that foreign consuls in the enemy's country will be subjected to martial law only in cases of urgent necessity.

S tions been true—and we know them to be utterly erroneous had Mr. Vereker's suspicions been confirmed, there was still no reason why , wheel the Brazilian Government proposed to refer the question to London, Mr. Christie should have presented an ultimatum no independent power could submit to, end on its refusal have resorted to a flagrant act of hostility. For, let it be well understood, the Brazilian Government did make this proposal, and Mr. Christie, in the plenitude of authority delegated to him by Earl Russell, arrogantly—nay, inso/ently—deelinefl it. NOW, have we or have we not one policy for the weak and another for the stroFg? Should we have acted in this manner to France or Russia, to Italy or Spain, or the United States ? Everybody knows that Earl Russell would scorer have thrown up office than have committed an act of such temerity, I and that is saying a great deal. _Everybody knows that Earl Bae , ell would have pocketed the n ffront twenty times over had it crane from a power to be I feared ; and there is no mount of forbearance towards a state that will fling him back his words, and can give blow for blow, of which this runaway- -,, fromVienne. is not capable. But Braz:l has no navy. Brazil is an empire still suffering from internal wounds, slowly a nd arduouely clearing its way through difficulties, such as never presented them selves to any other power, to a level with the most civilised powers in the Old World. She is at our mercy on the sea; her internal condition renders her incapable of attack; we may use her ever so despitefully, but she cannot retaliate; so the bold Mr. Christie is set on her, and a British fleet is despatched to humble and insult her; and the pane gyrists of the Government talk about the pluck of Lord Palmerston and his "spirited foreign policy." The blow was as cruel and impolitic as it was cowardly. It was cruel to a Government full of such generous aspirations as the Governmentof Dom Pedro has shown itself; cruel to a people marching resolutely in the path of constitutional freedom ; cruel to the hopes of the whole South American Contrive t, which ,ip,l3Fezil t at least, saw a stable G o vernment, a vigorous iliteki n k an a d vanc ing eivie:, tY'fitriicesndnainn foresee, . w tha ill .

The Suicide of the Lessee of the Strand Theatre. Yesterday afternoon,. Dr Lankester held an .in quiry into the _circumstances connected with th e'' death . of Henry Valentine Sailth,; who.was profes sionally known by the name of -" Swanborough," and who, on Wednesday .morning cut his throat in the water-closet of his residence, from the . effects of which he shortly afterwaids expired: A jury was empannelled in the dining-roonv of' the family residence, 9, Greville-place; kilbtirrt. After they had viewed the body, the coroner called' Francis Musgrave, who said that he lived at the residence of the deceased, but was no relation to him. He had lived two years in his family as a . lodger, and was musical director at the Str and Theatre. He last saw deceased alive, on Wednes day morning about eleven o'clock, when he appeared in his usual health, but complained of pains in his head. He had previously complained of pains in his head, and for some time paet had been in very low spirits. He would sometimes sit in his chair for hours without speaking. The only reason wit ness could assign for the act was that the business at the theatre had not been quite so good lately as _ _ it had previously been. Deceased, however, had never expressed himself to this effect. He, to wit ness's knowledge, was certainly not in pecuniary difficulties. He had been very eccentric lately. Some time since he went up to witness's bedroom and looked in, and then went down again—a most unusual thing, as he had never been known pre viously to ascend even to the second floor. Witness was so much surprised that lie actually got out of bed and watched if he went to his own room again. He was a married man, and lived happily with his wife. He had one daughter, living with him. Witness had never heard of any insanity existing in the family. Deceased had never been the same person, in witness's opinion, since he had had a fit some six weeks ago. He was by no means a bet ting man. Deceased had been deaf for 16 years, but he seemed to labour under the impression that he would regain his hearing, and frequently spoke of it with apparent pleasure. On the day of his death he ate a very hearty breakfast, and appeared as usual. Sarah Taylor said she was cook to the deceased. e .h M She last saw him alive on Wednesday morning about nine o'clock. Two or three hours after that the housemaid told her that deceased was in the water-closet on the second floor, and had been there a very long time, and that the door was fastened. She went up stairs and listened at the door and heard deceased breathing loudly. She then made Miss Swanborough acquainted with what had hap pened and of her suspicions. They sent for the gardener, who forced the door open, and they then discovered the deceased sitting on the floor with a ived. and witness herd deceased's head untild said he was razor in his hand. They instantly sent for a doctor, Dr. Cleveland, of the Edgware-road, on Wed called to deceased about half b neck about five closet, and had a wound p i i n ni a on sta th te at o d f ecaotlh the bleeding, and Wed nesday.

Dr. Robins said he had attended deceased two or believed deceased sf t ri h oo r mn e three s fy t o i mr i times at s o ms eduringsymptoms he a likely person to be subjected to fits of insanity. The Coroner then briefly summed up, in the course of which he said it had been clearly shown that deceased had cut his throat, but it of course rested with the jury to say what state of mind he I was in at the time. The jury, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict of " Temporary insanity."
