CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Tils;' Money Itlarket still shows a tendency to wards increasing easiness, and the demand is moderate. Since Monday last the imports of specie have been about £459,000, and the exports £300,000. The report to be presented at the half-yearly meeting of the Victoria Station and Pimlico Rail way recommends the distribution of 23 per cent. for six months, making 43 per cent. for the year 1862. On the Ottoman Railway the traffic receipts for the week ending the 25th inst., amounted to £290 on 484 miles, against £l9B last year on 40 miles. The City Discount Company has been announced with a nominal capital of £1,000,000, the first issue to consist of 10,000 shares of £5O eaeb. The direc tors are influential, and the object of the under taking, as its title indicates, is to afford increased loan and discount facilities to the commercial com munity. Arrangements have been made for the purchase of an established business, and the direc tors refer to the profits attending this descripti9 of enterprise, and the success which kindred in stitutions have acquired. The following, with regard to the Hide Market, is from Messrs. Culverwell, Brooks, and Co's. cir cular :—ln the hide market less business has been done. Salted horse hides have been in good re quest.

Th e testatrix was the second wife and relict of the Earl of Al bemarle. Her l a d yship executed her will, togeth er with a codicil, on the s ame d ay, June 3, 1862. Referenc e is made to a previou s d ee d o f assignment in favour of her ladyship's two sons, by a former marriage, to which conveyance her ladyship has added a further sum of £6,000 upon the same trusts. Many specific bequests are left to personal friends, and several articles and family relics are to be held as heir looms. Legacies are left to her servants. The residue of her property she bequeaths to three ladies—the Hon. Adela Fitzclarence, the H on. Ernestine Silney, and the Hon. Philippa Sidney, in equal proportions.—The will of the late Sir George Bowyer, of Radley House, Barks, has only just been proved. The testator, who died at Dresden, in Saxony, executed his will in 18.58, which was attested by Mr. Hugh Fraser, attache to her Majesty's Legation, and Mr. G. C. Sawyer, Severn llouse, Henbury, Gloucestershire. The late Sir George, who attained to the age of 77, had repre- Rented in Parliament the respective seats of Malmesbury and Abingdon, and his son and heir, the present baronet, is M.P. for Dundalk, to whom the testator has bequeathed the whole of his di-posable property, real and personal. The deceased was the eldest son of the late gallant Admiral Sir Ge orge B owyer, Bart., by his second wife, Henrietta, the daughter of Admiral Sir P. Brett, M.P.

Viz" in THE REGISTRY OF DEEDS IN MIDDLES/It commission of inquiry is to be moved for i nth A House of Commons respecting the registry o f deaditien Middlesex. By the New Transfer Act, where property is egistered under the new law, it is not required to be re gistered in Middlesex or Yorkshire. A better registration of property is in contemplation. A SWIMMING CORPS.—One of the Confederate regiments in the battle of Murfreesborough was raised in Missouri by a son of ex-Governor John B. Clarke. Colonel Clarke, when recruiting his regiment, was obliged to conceal himself by day and work at night. After filling up his corps he s wam th e w h o l e, 1,00, across the Missis sippi river --a mile and a quarter wide, and at the time full drifta' ice 1 . MIDDLESEX HOSPITAL.—The quarterly court of C is ch ar i ty was held on Thursday last, the Hon. qapiain Maude, 11.. N., in the chair. Prayers having been read by Dr. Hare, the chaplain, the usual business was pro ceeded with. Among the legacies bequeathed during the pest quarter there was one which is deserving of special notice, inasmuch as th e d onor, Mr. Cropper, exhibited a singular instance o f r i g id economy in his personal expen diture, combined with a bountiful and almost princely bene volence towards the poor. Mr. Cropper, who was near 90 years old when ho died, bad, it appears, survived all his relations. He was a barrister, and lived in the most fru gal manner in his chambers at Gray's-inn. The amount of his property at the time of his death is estimated at about 4000 per annum and £lO,OOO in money, the whole of which he has bestowed upon the charities of London, se" looting the Middlesex Hospital as his residuary legatee. This has been a great boon to this institution, as it appears from the report that its expenditure is considerably greater than its income, SHARE MARKETS--This Day, ORDINARY SHARES AND STOOP., 3, Share!

J. Patterson, Captain and Mrs. Maule, Captain Rorke, Capt. Harwood, the Rev. Dr. Stecre, DI. Arlington, and Dr. Borrows.

COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) KELLETT V. KELLET AND DICKINSON. This was a suit instituted by the husband against the wife for dissolution of marriage. The petitioner, it appeared, was an assistant staff surgeon in her Majesty's service, and was married to the respondent in the year 1856 at Warrenpoint, in the county Down, Ire land. On the outbreak of the war in Rassia the petitioner left this country for that part of the world, but on leaving the Crimea he took up his residence in the lonian Islands. In 1862 he was stationed at the Army Hospital, Fermoy,and while there the circumstances that led to the present applica occurred. The respondent had some time previously fallen into the habits of intemperance, and become acquainted with the co-respondent, who was a private in the Army Hospital Corps. On the state of affairs becoming known the respondent separated from her husband, and went to live with some friends of hers residing at Waterloo, near Liverpool, who afterwards sent her to Australia. Witnesses were examined who proved that the respondent was constantly in a state of intoxication, while two sergeants in the Army Hospital Corps proved the material allegation contained in the petition. The Judge Ordinary granted a decree nisi. COURT OF PROBATE. COOK AND CRAPNELL V. LAMBERT AND OTHERS. This was an application for granhing probate in solemn form to the will of the testator. The motion was opposed on the ground that the will was not made in conformity with the act. The will in question, it appeared, was made on a sheet of foolscap, and afterwards, as there was a doubt whether there would be room enough for the usual signatures, an other piece of paper was pasted to the original sheet, upon which the necessary signatures were placed. The Judge •Ordinary said the only point in dispute was, whether that which purposed to be the mark of the testa tor was upon the paper upon which the will was written. Mr. Lawrence said he had received his instructions only that morning, and he should like a little time to make him self familiar with some cases in point. The Judge-Ordinary said it was astonishing what trouble people took to make confusion in a will. He had given pro bate in a ease where the will was written on parchment,lwhere the parties to the instrument to make themselves, he supposed, doubly sure, had upon the skin of parchment pasted one of the usual slips of paper, upon which half-a-crown bill stamp was impressed, upon which the signatures to the will were written. He would not press the learned gentleman to proceed at that moment, but he could address the court on Tuesday next. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. WESTMINSTER. IMPUDENT ROBBERY AT AN HOTEL.—Deborah Church, a dissipated looking woman, about forty years of age, was placed at the bar, charged with the following impudent robbery : Frederick Gardner, waiter at the King's Arms Hotel, Palace-yard, said that last night, at a quarter to nine, he was crossing Bridge-street to enter the hotel, when, ob serving the prisoner and a man lurking about in a very sus picious way near the door, he determined to watch them. After a few minutes the prisoner entered the hall of the hotel, when, falling down on her hands and knees, so as to escape observation, she crawled to where there was a large door mat, and rolling it up, crawled back to the door with it, and then getting up from the ground walked away with the mat, the man who had been with her going in a con trary direction, Witness followed and seized her, when she dropped the mat, and said she had taken it by mistake. Henry Courtain, a policeman, proved that the prisoner was given into his custody and said nothing. Mr. Paynter--Is there anything known of her ? Police-sergeant--I think she is known; she is one of our Westminster women. Prisoner—l never was in trouble before. lam a respect able married woman, and live at 30, St. George's-place. A police-constable—That is her address. I have known her for years. I never remember her in custody for felony, but she is a notorious drunkard. Mr. Poynter (to prisoner)—Are you willing to be tried here I' Prisoner —Yes, your worship. lam very sorry. I did it through distress. Mr. Paynter—Brought on by your intemperate habits. Going into the public hall of an hotel like this is committing a daring robbery. You are convicted and sentenced to two months' hard labour in the House of Correction.

It was the prisoner's duty to pay over and account for all money received from customers, but he had not accounted 19r the sum received from the last witness. Mr. Knox remanded the prisoner for a week and refused bail. SHIPPING—This Day. (BY MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH.) GRAVESEND, Saturday Morning. Arrived, Feb. 6—Pirate, from Alexandria. Arrived, Feb. 7—Atlas, from Akyab; Brieso Morray, from Stettin. DEAL, Saturday Morning. Passed—Black Friar, of Shields, from the West, for the North; Arbutus, of Southampton, from the North, for the West. Anchored—Adelaide and St. George, from London, for Barbados. GOING TO EXTREMES.—The three points on which, according to a Saturday Reviewer, the middle classes more eminently set their affections are, the destruction of negro slavery, the downfall of great military despotisms, and Protestantism, They hate nigger drivers and the Czar, and Popish priests. Educated men see that none of these points or persons can be dealt with rightly if they are dealt with simply. They see that unconditional and hasty emancipation means anarchy, and degradation of white and black: They can see that a young empire of barbarians like Russia is licked into shape by a Czar, where a milder ruler would only perpetuate barbarism. They can see that Latin Catholicism is intimately bound up with the history of Europe, and that it has satisfied as a creed some of the acutest minds that have appeared in the world. A high wall, part of a building which was re cently gutted by fire, fell upon a cottage at Gloucester, on Wednesday night, and killed a woman and her child. The rising in Poland, there is reason to believe, is of a far more serious character than the offioial telegrams that have reached this country would have us to think it is. There are upwards of fifty thousand insurgents, many of whom are well armed. A meeting of the friends of Polish freedom, in Newcastle, has been held, and assist ance is to be given to all refugees wishful to return to Poland. Arrangements are also being made for holding a public meeting to send an address of sympathy to the brave men now fighting for their country's independence.—. Ne wcastle Chronicle. A SHARPER'S methods of ascertaining and recog nising cards, according to Robert Houdin, are ex ceedingly various. Perhaps the simplest is the employment of a confederate, with whom a code of signals, which it is impossible to detect, ace easily arranged. For it is by no means necessary to call a spade "a spade." If the confe derate but looks at his associate, he means a king ; it at his adversary's cards, a queen; if at the stakes, a knave; if at the opposite side, an ace. Again, the mouth slightly open means a heart; shut, a diamond; the upper lip pro jetting, a club; the lower, a spade. There are plenty of resources in the absence of a confederate. Sometimes a light /ling glance is darted into the pack down a chink kept open by the little finger, while the player talks and gesticulates with the hand which is disengaged. Some times a small sprina-• mirror, fitted in a snuff-box lid, re flects the bottom card of the pack during a deal. Then the modes of marking cards are infinite. A single spot on the back may be made tc tell its tale at once by its distance from the top or side. For making such a spot some sharpers actually wear a ring containing ink, which, on pressure, is allowed to escape at a small opening. A dent with the ;Jail, or the alteration of the surface by a slight bend, is often sufficient for the required object.

STATE OF TRADE.- MANCHESTER, Feb. 6,—Toe spirit of the market to-day has been one of marked depression, the immediate cause of which is due to the dullness and decline of the Liverpool cotton market; but beyond that sellers have professed themselves at a loss to account for it. They say that everything that has lately come from America points to a pro longed continuance of the war, and that if this is so they should have expected rising prices and more confidence among buyers. Yarns have been remarkably quiet to-day,and some kinds might have been bought at ld. per lb. decline upon the rates of this day week ; but even at this serious decline there has not been much disposition for buying. There appears to be little or no demand for any market, home or foreign, and buyers seem to have no confidence in the present high range of prices being maintained. The coth market has also been decidedly flat. Manufacturers are asking the same prices as on luesday, but buyers are evidently dis truetful and less inclined to operate than for some time past. Where business has been proposed it has been accompanied with offers of lower prices than were asked on Tuesday ; but we, do not hear that in any case they have been acceded to; so that the business has been veal limited indeed. Some people attribute additional flatness and de pression which have come over the market to what fell from Mr. Disraeli in the House of Commons last night, or rather what did not fall from his lips. His reticence hitherto on the American ques tion is thought to have encouraged hopes which have been disappointed now that the oracle has spoken. Supposed Loss of the Bussorah Steamship. A shocking catastrophe, it is feared, has befallen the Busso:ah steamer, Captain Gray, belonging to the British India Steam Navigation Company. She left the Clyde on the 16th of last month, for Cal cutta and Bombay, and there is too much reason to believe that during the recent heavy gales she was lost off Islay, one of the islands on the extreme north-west coast of Scotland, and that not a soul on board has been spared to tell her fate, The Bus sorah was quite a new vessel. She was built at Port Glasgow last year, under spe c i a l survey, and was 620 tons register, fitted with four water-tight bulk heads, and classed A 1 for 12 years. Her crew, including engineer and firemen, numbered about 30, and she was loaded with a general cargo. It would seem that on leaving the Clyde she took the north passage out of the Channel. Nothing was heard of her until last Tuesday, when a notice was received at Lloyd's, t o th e e ff ec t that a quantity of wreck, with a board bearing the name of "Bussorah, Gray," had been washed ashore near Islay, and the owners at Glasgow telegraphed to Lloyd's, intimating their appre hensions for the safety of the vessel, and that they had despatched a special messenger to,lslay to examine the fragment of wreck, particularly a cask of oil which had been cast up, as the p ar ty a b out proceeding to the spot had en intimate knowledge of what the cargo comprised, Later accounts which have come to hand leave little doubt as to the fate of the ship. . The lighthouse keeper at Rhu Vaal, on the north end of Islay, has made the following report to the Northern Lighthouse Commissioners relative to the wreck which has been washed ash ore :—" It is strewed along shore a distance of ten miles from this station. Four miles distant a large lifeboat came on shore—name broken away. She has the appearance of having belonged to a la rge steam boat. Four and a halt miles farther west there was a large boat came on shore, bearing the name Bus sorah, Glasgow;' has also the appearance of having belonged to a large steamer. Both boats have been first class articles, wholly built of teakwood, and varnished. There was a considerable quantity of what appears to have belonged to the deck-room of a steamer come on shore. It is reported that a great quantity of wreck has come on shore on the island of Colonsay, similar to what I have men tioned. From the direction of the wind and the places where the wreckage has come ashore, I am led to suppose that a wreck must have occurred somewhere between Islay and Omsay Point." The steamer and cargo are insured for £30,000. LORD LLANOVER AND MR. HERBERT OF CLYTHA.. —At the meeting of the Usk Fishing Association, in Jan. last, on the name of Mr. Reginald Herbert being pro posed as a member of the association, the chairman, Lord Llanover, stated " that it was impossible for him to acknow ledge Mr. Reginald Jones under that name, and conse quently, if such were persisted in, he could not lend his signature to the minutes of the proceedings, and would re sign his position as chairman." It was unanimously re solved, " That with a view to the interests of the associa tion, and not wishing to prejudge a matter which must soon be brought under public consideration, the question be postponed for the present.'—Swansea and Glamorgan Herald. A SCENE IN A HOTEL AT TROWBRIDGE. -- At the County Court, Trowbridge, on Tuesday, before Mr. C. F. D. Caillard, judge, a case, Dent v. Ingerson, was heard, and caused the most intense excitement, the court hall being crammed to excess throughout the hearing. An action was brought by a bar ma id, Jane Dent, against Philip Ingerson, the landlord of the Woolpack Hotel, Market-place, for £ll Ils, 3 d., wages due, including a month's wages for wrongful dismissal. On the 14th of January a commercial traveller entered the Woolpack, and, finding no fire in the room set apart for gentlemen of his profession, he inquired th e re as on . Jane,' said the worthy Boniface to the plaintiff, ' h ow i s thi s ; no fire in the com mercial room ?"Missus toll me never to light one there, sir, unless it's occupied, was t h e rejoinder. `I never told you any such thing,' was the response of the mistress. You did, ma'am,' sa id Jane, ' I'm sure you did. An altercation ensued, during which the unfortunate cause o it, the commer c i a l, called for dinner. What's all this about ?' inquired the landlord, who was attracted to the kitchen, where th e contending parties were engage d in a ' passage of tongues."MiSSUS says she did tell me always to light the fire in the commercial room,' explained Jane, ' and I'm sure she didn't." And I believe you,' said the landlord. Well, you seem to be both well agreed,' ejacu lated the enraged mistress, then d-- it, get the dinner yourself l' The quarrel was continued with vigour for some time, but was at len g th abruptly terminated by the land lady calling Jane a liar and something worse, touching her character, and delivering her two blows in the face with her fists, taking her by the shoulders, turning her out of the kitchen, and ordering her out of the house at a moment's notice. The landlord, it appears, who was very busy, peremptorily said, Jane shall not go ;' but the weaker vessel proved the stronger, and Jane did go. Her mistress, according to plaintiff=s statement, then overhauled Jane's boxes, insinuating that she had not all her own things. However the luggage was removed, but next day the landlord sought the intervention of a Mr. Charles Lansdale, chemist, to assist him in asserting his authority in his own household. Mr. Lansdale made certain offers to plaintiff to return to her service, as Mr. Ingerson had a house full of company, and went to the Woolpack, when Mr. Ingerson gave him a cheque for the amount of the plaintiff's bill, which she had cant in, but her mistress dis puted the item for a month's wages. Mr. Lansdale, be it known, stands head an,i shoulders over his fellows, and as he was leaving the hotel with the cheque the mistress, more enraged than ever at his busy interference,' flew at him, and, to use witness's own words, collared him as a butcher would a bullock, tore his vest, abstracted his watch from his pocket, and broko the guard' in her endeavours to get the cheque from him, which she succeeded in doing, and then triumphantly tore it into pieces. His Honour gave judgment for the plaintiff for the full amount. The decision was received with loud applause, which was instantly checked.—Somerset Barad. SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST A GIRL. —Yesterday morning Mr. John Humphreys, the Middlesex coroner, received information respecting the death of a fine newly-born male child, the illegitimate offspring of a girl named Caroline Burns, aged 15, a domestic in the service of Mr. James Hills, a Custom-house Officer, residing in Beau mont-square, Mile. end-road, Stepney. It appears that the girl had been unwell for the last two days, when her mis tress, thinking that she had a cold, requested her to keep her bed. She did so, and the mistress gave her nourishing food aad medicine, but on Thursday, when the bedroom was cleared, a bundle was discovered in a cupboard, and upon the covering being removed the dead body of a child was found. The mistress at once sent for Dr. Atkins, of the Mile-end-road, who promptly attended, and pronounced life extinct, but deceased had not been fully d eve l ope d . The mistress interrogated the girl in the presence of a police constable, and she k tated that one night, about nine months since, she was sent out on an errand, when she was ac costed by a gentleman, who took her, after gi v i ng h er some re f r eshment, to a house in the vicinity of Mile-end, where he seduced her. Yesterday morning at elev en o ' clock the coron er opened an inquiry at the Ring' s A rms Tavern, B eaumo nt-street, Mile - end , on view of the body of the de ceased child, when some evidence was taken, but as the girl Burns was unable at present to be removed, the inves tigation was adjourned for a fortnight, to give time for her attendance. unl ~ the authority of the Secretary of State, 44 she ' o of tl,O 11410 e. REIGATE ELECTION. The official declaration of the poll was made yes terday in the public hall by the returning officer as follows : Leveson Gower Wilkinson Majority for Gower -12 The annouLcement was received with great ap plause. Mr. GOWER, amidst the loud cheers of his friends, made a short speech, in which he sincerely thanked his friends for the honour they had conferred upon him by placing him at the head of the poll—(cheers) —and he said he trusted that the connection thus formed might exist for many years. Mr. WILKINSON also addressed the electors, and owned that he had been beaten, although with honour, and he thanked his supporters for the zeal which they had displayed on his behalf. Mr. GOWER then proposed a vote of thanks to the returning officer, which was seconded by Mr. SEARLE (Mr. Wilkinson's proposer), and the pro ceedings ended in a most quiet and peaceful manner. The Alleged Murder by Poison at Batley. Emma Walker and Samuel Fox were yesterday brought up at Dewsbury, under a writ of habeas corpus, charged with the wilful murder of George Walker on the 9th Dec. last. It will be remembered that the accused were removed under the coroner's warrant to York, and this course led to the application for a writ of habeas corpus, which was granted. John Walker, brother of the deceased, said :—About a week before deceased's death, he called upon me, and we proceeded together to Dewsbury. On our way I noticed something peculiar in his manner, and he said he was weak. I said to him, " If I wore thee I would not let Samuel Fox come to thy house. There are all sorts of tales about him and thy wife, the prisoner Emma Walker." Deceased replied, " I don't want to believe it, but if I catch them I will kill them both." On the Sunday following (Dec. 7) I went to my brother's house and I found him very ill. The deceased's wife and Fox were sitting close together, and they were laughing. I was so disgusted at seeing Fox there that I went away without saying a word. On the Tuesday following I went again and saw Fox and the prisoner, Emma Walker, seated together. I took hold of my brother's hand, which felt cold and clammy. I then went out, but in a few minutes, being informed of his death, I returned. Two women were washing the body of the deceased on the hearthstone. Fox stood by, and watched their movements. I said, " What have you done at my brother ; you've murdered him—he is a murdered man, and I'll have him opened in the morn ing." Fox grew very pale, and he turned his face to wards the window. My brother's furniture was sold by auction on the day previous to the adjourned inquest. Sarah Hemingway said—l went to the house of the de ceased on the day of his death. I said to the prisoner Walker, " You must give him something to keep his lips moist and open." She gave him a liquid out of a cup twice, and then she said, " I believe he is dying." In a few minutes after that he died. James Hull deposed—l haveseen Fox at the deceased's house previous to the latter's death many times. I was in deceased's house on 9th December. The female prisoner left the house, and said she was going for some medicine, and after she had gone out, the deceased asked me to let him drink, and pointed to a basin on a shelf near the bed. I took the basin down, and it appeared to be cold water. After I had given him some of:it, he said, " I'm burned to death, Jem ; I'm scalded to death here," putting his hand on his breast. I was in the house some time, and I waited until Emma Walker came back, when she poured some of the medi cine into a cup. I noticed that she poured in another liquid, which caused the mixture to boil. After he had taken a small quantity, he again cried out, " I'm burned, I'm burned ; I'm done." He died on th.l same day. Mr. W. Baildon, surgeon, said—l attended the deceased up to the day of his death. On the 6th December I found him very weak ; his voice was hoarse, and he complained of his throat being hot, dry, and painful. I visited him again on Tuesday, and he was in an exceedingly feeble state, his skin being cold and his pulse almost imperceptible. I, along with Keighley, made a post mortem examination of the body on the 11th of December. On the 15th of Decem ber a preliminary analysis took place in Leeds, and afterwards, in pursuance of instructions given by the Secretary of State, a complete analysis was made, and various tests were applied by Dr. Scattergood, and arsenic was found in various portions of the stomach and intes tines. lam of opinion that death was caused by arsenic, the finding of which in the body being, I think, conclu sive proof. The symptoms during life were quite con sistent with the effects of arsenic. I prescribed nothing calculated to produce the symptoms exhibited. Mr. Scattergood, lecturer on chemistry at the Leeds School of Medicine, described the result of analysis, which he I made, and said he found arsenic in all the viscera. He also found white arsenic in liquid contained in the stomach. It was partly dissolved and partly undissolved, and por tions of the latter were adhering to the mucous membrane of the stomach. The quantity found in the stomach would be more than sufficient to cause death, irrespective of that found in any other organ. He was of opinion that one dose was given within a few hours of death, but he could not affirm that as a certainty. In his opinion, re peated doses were administered. —Webster Hall, assistant to Mr. Husband, druggist, Batley, proved that on the 28th October the prisoner purchased eight ounces of arsenic, which he said he wanted to kill rats with.—Serjeant Bland deposed to finding a package in the house, containing five ounces of a powder labelled " Arsenic, poison," por tions of which were afterwards analysed.—Several other witnesses were examined, and the case was adjourned until Monday.

The bodies of the deceased men having been identified, the ',Coroner said it would be desirable to view the spot where the accident happened, and he proposed then to adjourn the inquest, as it would be necessary that some competent persons should be employed to inspect and give an opinion as to the stability of the building upon which it appeared such immense ~weights had to be sus tained. He did not know that the fourth and injured man, now lying in the hospital, could throw any light upon the matter. He understood from the character of his injuries, some weeks were likely to elapse before his recovery. Should he have a relapse, he (the Coroner) would come up and take his evidence. He wished to know if it had been ascertained who was responsible for the construction of the building which had fallen. The inspector of police said he believed it had been erected under the dir action of the manager of the Ruabon Coal Company. The Court having been formally adjourned till that day fortnight, the jury, accompanied by the coroner, proceeded to the Coal Depot of the Great Western Railway to view the fallen debris, and to judge for themselves, if possible, the cause of the accident. It is stated that a brother of one of the deceased men had repeatedly warned him and others that the erection was dangerous. LETTER OF JOHN MITCHELL.—When the Fede rals captured Mr. Sanders they found in his posses sion a letter from the well known John Mitchell, addressed to the Dublin Nation. It tells how he made his way into Virginia, crossing the Potomac, in company with two Confederate officers, " close by four gunboats and under the bows of a Y an k ee revenue cu tt er ." Mr. Mitch el l a says that north o f th e P o tomac there is no law, a,!' was in doubt all th e time whether he wasirlA Americ a, or Poland, or Venetia. Richmond he fin ds v ery mea gi vinligttlae changed, and that the Irish i 1 citizens are hearty support to the Government . learn, about 40,000 he letter con cludes thus :—" There are , as Irishmen in the Southe rn army, b u t they are distri buted,all regiments and all arms of the service, an d as they ought tobhe,etvherough ne ver been formed into an Irish brigade. They do not pretend to fight this American do they desecrate the name or. quarrel l as Irishmen' nor pros titute the flag of Ireland at all. Ae for the Northern Irish, who seem to have got themselves persuaded that the enfran ' chisement of Ireland is somehow to result from the subjuga tion of the South, and that the repeal of one Union in Europe depends on the enforcement of another Union in America, our friends here do nwell understand the process of reasoning which leads to that conclusion, nor do I. They call those Northern Irish, as sell as all the other Northern forces,by the one general name, Yankees, and indignantly protest that the green bunting under which ' Irish' brigades have chosen to march to the invasion and subjugation of the South is not the banner of Ireland at all—merely one of the Yankee insignia. In all this I agree with them entirely. Nobody has the right to unfurl the colours of Ireland in a War of invasion and plunder and coercion. These Irish at the South have never pretended to mix up their native country in the struggle ; they indulge in no Fontenoyism, they flaunt no sunbursts, they display on their banners no round towers, wolf dogs, or crownless harps, but go ahead quite simply, under the stars and bars of their adopted country, to defend their own home s a nd hearths from a host of greedy invaders. If they should be ever overpower ed in _ n defeated; and defeated, Ireland, a t l eas t, w ill not be dishon o ured their persons. But they have no thought of being tei and I will sum up my impression by declaring Inconvic doll that this Confederacy cau never be conque r° • ~~ l LONDON GAZETTE—Yesterday. • DUCTIY OF LANCASTER, FEE.
