TEE CIVIL WAR IN AMERICA. (From the Times' Correspondent.) NEW YORK, July 17. The ancient saying, that the gods in granting the prayers of the wicked always accompany the boon with something which deprives it of its value, has received a modern exemplification in the case of Mr. Lincoln and the revolutionary party by whose aid he governs. They prayed for military success, and they have got it, and ordered &general thanksgiving for it But it has come upon them amid scenes of cruelty, arson, and bloodshed which have had no parallel in the history of the country. Their cup of joy has a drop of poison in it. Their triumph is marred by the outburst of a peril which they were too self-sufficient and conceited even to dream of. In the day of their glory the judgment of the greatest city on the continent—the city that has done more than any dozen cities to support, by men and money, a war for the restoration of the Union and the Constitution--has declared itself against a war for the destruction of the Constitution, the abo lition cf State rights, and the establishment of a Fe deral despotism. It has declared by the voice of its moat numerous, if its humblest, citizens, that it will not fight upon compulsion; that it has no faith in vic tories that are but fine words for useless slaughter and resultleas massacres; and that, although it loves the Union and would be very glad if it could be re stored, it loves its own constitutional liberties and its permanent exemption from enforced military duty a great deal more. This is the meaning of the formidable insurrection that has now entered upon its fifth day, and sympathy with the original ob jects of which has paralysed the arm of authority in endeavouring to suppress it. Had the insurgents contented themselves with the destruction of the enrolment papers and the forcible seizure of the con scription offices, and themselves executed summary vengeance upon the cowardly ruffians and assassins who took advantage of a political outbreak to in dulge in arson and murder, it is probable that the insurrection would gradually have grown into the respectability of a revolution ; that men of influence, position, and character would have placed them selves at its hcad,and compelled the Central Govern ment to adopt a new, or rather a return to the old, policy of conciliation towards the South, to a with drawal of the proclamation of emancipation, and to an armistice between the contending forces. But this is not to be. Mr. Lincoln has taught the people that there is a power above the law and the Constitution. They have so far profited by the teaching as to set the law at defiance, and to inter pret it according to the prompting of their own passion or caprice, or the requirements of a neces sity, of which they declare themselves to be the sole judges. Had Mr. Lincoln frankly authorised Governor Seymour to announce to the people that the con scription in New York would not be enforced until the question of its constitutionality had been de cided, it is likely that the only mob remaining in the city after the first day's riot would have been mobs of thieves, whose violence would speedily have been suppressed by the police and the special constabulary. A notification that he had done so sensibly thinned the ranks of the insurgents on Wednesday; but when it was discovered that the announcement was not official—that Mr. Lincoln had not spoken, and that at the best the draught was only to be suspended until the restoration of order, the crowds increased ; the half appeased mul titude broke out into fresh riot, and in their blind fury committed outrages so shocking as to alienate from them all the support that the educated and wealthy classes might otherwise have been inclined to afford them. As yet, brutal as the mob has shown itself in its murder of inoffensive negroes, no less than seven of whom were hung from the lamp posts in different parts of the city on Wednesday night, in addition to ten or twelve who were beaten to death or thrown into the river, it is hard to say whether the cold-blooded brutality of the leading Republican journals was not the direct provocation of their fury. At the very outbreak of the riots, when a few words of conciliation from men in whose judg ment the public confided, and whose personal cha racter and social position were entitled to respect, might have stormed the calm of discontent —or, at all events, prevented bloodshed—these journals display a feorocity that is never found except in the hearts of people who are tyrants alike by nature and by training. There was to be no parley with men who resisted the draught. The draught was the only hope and salvation of the country. Fcr every negro killed a hundred white men were to be executed. Every rioter was to be remorselessly shot down. An officer who wished to save the effusion of blood, and fired blank cartridge over the heads of the people to alarm them, was declared to be "no man," but a "cowardly ruffian, who deserved instant death. " Grapeshot, and plenty of it," was the sole remedy for popular dis content. Such were but a few of the phrases with which they influenced the angry passions of the crowd, and manifested how little competent they were to advise in the crisis of the national mis fortunes. Their columns did not contain a single expression calculated to allay irritation. Blood! more blood! was the sole burden of their objurga tions; the blood of the only men from whose ranks the Government can expect to draw defenders, however imminent its peril: the blood of men, whose original complaint against the Administra tion was its disregard of the law and constitution ; the blood of the classes that bear upon their shoul ders the weight of all the work of peace and of all the cost and hardship of war; blood—blood unli mited, and the more the better. Such was their morning cry and their evening recommendation ; and if the popular passion was thus exasperated into a fiercer fever than it might have otherwise reached, these were the men who were guilty of Piling up the fuel and throwing oil upon the flames. The leaders of the Republican party were to the full as rabid as their press. Though Governor Se ymour, with a rare admixture of conciliation and firmness, contrived to allay the anger of the crowd, and reduce the insurrection within such limits as might re nderi u t t easily repressible by the strong arm authority, of the local see. ority, civic as well as military, these person s , a gas they imagined an opportu nity for bl ow dealing at a State sovereignty which they rightly h o ld to beincom p atible w ith the ex tension and consolidation of the Federal power, did their utmost by remonstrance and by alarmist telegrams to ; perso na l w .ashington to ind uc e the President to declare mar tial law over the State and city of New York, and appo int president General Butler to , en force it. Fortunately the resident was, in thi s r espect, wiser than his Party , and did n o t c h oose to run the risk of a struggle i tem per of the people , and with a n the then man r e Governor Seymour to use it in defe nc e o lk f a cement strictly t men legal position, might have been th e emu lie Federal of a revolution strong enough to sweep h Government before it. The present beet of the The design is that the draught will be aband oned. T design of the Republican party is that it shall b e suspended for a month or six weeks, until a new enro lment has been made in districts where the lists have been destroyed; and that, in the meantime, th e cities of the North shall be submitted to the opera tion of martial law under such administrators a s Butler, Schenck, Hascall, and Milroy. But as it would take all the armies of Rosecrans, Grant, Meade, Dix, Banks, Gilmour, and Corcoran, even were each of them doubled in numbers, to accom plish this purpose, the probability is that the Go vernment will not be so insane as to make the at tempt. The insurrection in New York has been quelled, not so much by the exertions of the police and the military as by the faith of the insurgents that they have destroyed all chance of the draught. If that faith be shaken the multitude will be again in arms, and scenes more frightful than those of the present week will be enacted ; but , thi s time, under the leadership of daring men, who will rather take New York out of the Union than consent to any form of conscription, however much it may be modified or sweetened to the popular palate. _ The Republican party may say what it will ; it may hurl its denunciations against the Irish " rowdies," the French and German Red Republi cans, and the thieves who swelled the ranks of the multitude ; but the riots cannot be explained away by any arguments based upon the fact that all the blackguardism and villany of the metropolis took part in them. It was an insurrection without plans or leaders, or any concerted modes of c tion, a spontaneous ebullition of disgust and i ignation. Stripped of all extraneous coesideratio 1.4. with full allowance for and condemnation of the atrocities committed by wretches who would be unworthy to wield a musket in the field in any honourable strafe, it means nothing less than that the working classes and a large majority of the people of New York are opposed to the further prosecution of the war, and to the forcible emancipation by the North of the slaves of the South. The extension of the riots into New England is a further warning that the " war Christians" for which that polemical corner of the land is notorious have lost their hold upon the minds of the fighting part of the people; and that if the South cannot be conquered by volunteers it must remain unconquered, inasmuch as the conscriptable part of the community will rather fight its own Government in support of the principle of pereonal freedom than take up arms against Southern rebels upon compulsion. The atrocities committed agains',. the negroes,— thousanCs of whom have fled the city and encamped in the woods in Long Island and elsewhere, many of them armed, and determined to resist further out rage to the death,—are the saddest episodes of the struggle. They may help to prove to th ose English man who still believe with Mr. Bright that the Northern people are sincere and pious Abolitionists, and that they love the negro in a Christian as well as a philosophic spirit, how wrong they have been, and how wrong, also, Mr. Lincoln and his Aboli tionist supporters have been, in calculating that they would gain strength in the prosecution of the war in proportion as they took measures for the eman cipation of the slaves. The policy of emancipation has proved the weakness, and not the strength, of the Administration. It has rendered the final sepa ration of North and South a fixed fact, which not all the military successes of a thousand Northern generals will be able to overturn. Wall-street, which is supposed, rightly or wrongly, to be the index of the national feeling, does not appear to have taken the riots into any very serious consideration. Wall -street does not shine as a poli tician. Wall-street is so credulous as to believe every mendacious war bulletin that Mr. Stanton pleases to circulate. Wall -street is an optimist and thinks that everything is for the best. Wall-street is of opinion that General Meade has achieved a signal triumph, and that the retreat of General Lee's army has become a rout, or as Mr. Stanton spells it a "route." Wall -street maintains that the sur render of Vicksburg and Port Hudson has secured for all time to come the free navigation of the Mississippi, and that nothing which the hostile population on its long line of 2,000 miles can do can seal it up again. Wall-street insists that General Meade has only to march against Richmond to cap ture it by a coup de main; that the rebellion is driven to bay in Georgia and South Carolina; and that Charleston, Mobile, and Savannah are as doomed as Vicksburg and Port Hudson. Wall-street, more over, is clearly agreed that the mob in New York is only a mob of thieves, which ought to be and will be extirpated; and that the happy day is near at hand when peace and plenty will again smile on the land, and an angelic reconciliation between North and South make of the United States the greatest, grandest, noblest, most irresistible Government on the face of the earths Last of all, it has the most thorough confidence in Mr. Chase, by means of whose beneficent legerdemain its frequenters have made larger fortunes in two years of war than they were previously able to make in twenty years of peace. Under the operations of all these satisfac tor and fascinating convictions,—though civil war was raging in the midst of them, and a vessel of war lay broadside in the East River with its guns pointing up the golden pavement where so many millions of collars are daily lost and won, so as to command its full length, and blow to destruc tion any fool-hardy mob that dare to invade its sacred precincts, it has declared that greenbacks were only 26 per cent. less valuable than gold, and notified, moreover, by the mouth of its chief oracles, that in a week from this time the difference between the two measures of value shall be only 15 per cent. to the disadvantage of paper. Perhaps, however, it will be found that this is but a dream of happi ness, born of the dog days and of the dolce far-niente that grows out of the vaponry atmosphere that shrouds the city, as in the steam of a hot bath. There is, however, this much to be said in explana tion of the anomaly. Nobody wants gold. The Customs' dues can be paid in Treasury notes. The trade with Europe is reduced to the lowest ebb. The merchants restrict their orders within the nar rowest limits. The speculators in the price of the precious metals find it more profitable to speculate in the stocks of railway and transit companies, one of which, the Mail Company, went up 60 per cent. and down again 20 per cent. in less than a week. Mr. Chase, too, takes especial care to give the pre mium:on gold a heavy blow whenever he can manage it. He expedites its downward progress. When he finds it falling he helps it to fall more rapidly by offering the unwelcome commodity for sale in amounts larger than commerce requires, so that not only Wall-street, but the multitude beyond it may exclaim " Great is the Union, but greater is Chase, who knows how to preserve it, making us at the same time richer in paper than we can ever expect to be in gold." The part taken in the riots by the Irish has induced Mr. Hughes, the Catholic Archbishop of New York, to exert his influence with the people in favour of order and submission to the laws. In a placard signed with his name, addressed to " men who are now called in many of the papers rioters," and altogether so singular in its tone and phraseology as to suggest the suspicion that it was a forgery, he summoned the people to his residence, promisi ng t o address them from the b a l con y. A crowd of upwards of 5,000 persons re sponded to the call, The Evening Post newspaper, in giving publicity to the document, implored the police and military to be in attendance, as the Archbishop's call le would draw together a crowd of suc h miscreants, assassins, robbers, h ouse b urners, and thieves—such a congregation of vicious and abandoned wretches as is not often got together." H a ppily for the peace of the city, this incentive to violence was not published until an hour after the meeting had been held and dispersed, or the conse quences might have been serious. The Archbishop appeared in his full sacerdotal robes, and, being unable to stand for rheumatic pains in his limbs, seated himself before addressing the crowd, taking care to explain that physical infirmity, not disre spect, was the cause of the attitude so unusual in an consequential, and seemed to betoken an intellect orator. He spoke of the wrongs of Ireland, of noble men being driven out of that green and beautiful isle to make room for fat bullocks ; said that a " man" was a higher 1 title than a " gentleman ; that if New York were invaded by Great Britain or any other Power, the women of the city, with their ten der babes at their breasts would look to " men" and not to " gentlemen" for protection ; that he felt it . a disgrace th a t hi s coun t rymen s h ou ld be called rletters, and en t reate d t h em a ll to go qu i et l y h ome , and seek a remedy for all their grievances in the ballot-b ox. 18 months hence, As, however, the ballot for a new Pre sident and a into the programme only takes effect in with wiyaocairecurastances of aurnmaiee e rs e, io a f nd as the men to be draughted butchery the Republic may be led to in which they even fifteen mouths have eonompetent Generals for a cause highl: be hieart, a full twelvemonths or it is that n day of peaceful re volution,l well -meant recommeithrtaaibole that the Archbishop's good toanthaine may have fallen idly I upon the ears of his flock thanvery weak exhortations canse of the public to his p d s o a n c e s moreby his harm v er o p p m o p s i a t t i h o i n s e t s o . country men and co-religionists, the draught it is quite evident that he sy Amid the many extraordinar • the time, the sudden collapse of the reputation of General Meade is not the least striki ng. T he not e has sounded in Washington that he has served his turn, and he will doubtless be thrown aside without remorse. It was not enough that he should repul se General Lee at Gettysburg. It was his duty, pre scribed for him by Mr. Stanton, that he should an nihilate the Confederate army—even though it were impossible. Mr. Stanton, like the great Napoleon, THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 30, 1861 does not admit the impossibility o'f 'anythin g , and the safe retreat of General Lee across the Potomac with bag and baggage, ammunition and artillery, and all the immense supplies which he obtained iu Pennsylvania, is held to be the unpardonable sin which is to unfit General Meade for the future command of the army of the Potomac. Already his deposition is openly urged by the friends of the Go vernment in and out of the press. General Meade has achieved glory enough. He must not be allowed to gather any more laurels. Mediocrity in high places is jealous alike of his merit and his modesty, and he is forthwith to be consigne d t o an inferior command in some less conspicuous place , or sent like Burnside to dragoon his own countrymen, so that he may become unpopular, and therefore innocuous to the Administration. JULY 18. Contrary to all expectation, Provost Marshal General Fry, instructed by the President, has offi cially notified that the draught is to be enforced in every part of the country, and that the several Pro vost-Marshals charged with its execution will be sustained by the military forces of the Federal Go vernment. It would thus seem that Mr. Lincoln is resolved to try the strength of the Federal arm against the strength of the States, commencing with the great State of New York. It is a desperate venture, and the direct inaugural of a revolution. Already the alarm that it has created is excessive. Dreading a renewal of mob violence, if not a contest between the forces of the Commander-in-Chief of the Federal armies and those of the equally legally appointed Commander-in-Chief of the Militia and other forces of the State of New York, crowds of timid people are leaving the city, and those who have fewer fears for their own personal safety are sending their wives and children to remote rural districts and even to Canada. Next week threatens to be an eventful one. The city as yet is held by State troops alone, under the supreme authority of Governor Seymour, who has expressed his opinion that the draught is unconstitutional, who has called upon the President to postpone it until a legal decision could be taken upon it, whose remonstrances have been treated with contempt, and who, in case he should deter • mine to make a stand in support of his opinions and his position, will be supported by the vast majority of the people of the State and city. Mr. Lincoln is a rash man. It remains to be seen whether he will be a fortunate one. could be had. They were very quiet, and seemed to desire that nothing should occur that should dis turb the peace. Half an hour before the appointed time a cavalry patrol of seven men, under a lieu tenant rode up and down the avenue, but no notice was taken of them by the people. At two o'clock Archbishop Hughes appeared on the balcony, and the crowd uncovered an d b egan to cheer. In a moment they were again s il ent, and requesting them to put on their hats he spoke as follows : Men of New York,—They call you rioters, but I cannot see a riotous face among you. I will call you men of New York, not gentlemen, because gentlemen is so threadbare a term that it means nothing positive. Give me men, for I know of my own knowledge that if this city were invaded by a British or any foreign Power — (laughter)—the delicate ladies of New York, with infants on their breasts, would look for their protection from men more than from gentle men. (Applause.) There is no reason why you should not be gentlemen, for there is no real difference between these terms. (Applause.) I address you of my own choice, and I would so if I had to go on crutches. (Cheers.) My lungs are stronger than my limbs. It gratifies me that you have met in peace and good order here at this time. I do not ad dress you as President—(laughter) —or mayor, or as mili tary officer ; I address you as your father. (Cheers.) I am not going into the question what has brought about this nhappy state of things ; it is not my business, for I am a minister of God. You know I never deserted you. (Cries of " Never.") With my tongue and pen I have stood by you in years past. I am not a runaway bishop. (Laughter.) It perhaps is a calamity, but I have never been conscious of fear till the danger was over. I could not fight for you or with you; but I could stand by you and die with you. I cannot go into what caused this state of things. I know of no people on earth who have not had their grievances. A change is not an improvement necessarily. When I cast my eyes back to the land of my nativity, and when I think of its oppressions, when I see the fertile west and south of Ireland depopulated, and cattle browsing on the ruins of the cottages of the noble people who had lived there, I thank God that I came to a country where no such oppression exists. (Cheers,) If you are Irishmen, as your enemies say the rioters are, I am an Irishman, but not a rioter. (Laughter.) If you are Catholics, as they have reported, probably to hurt my feelings, then I am a Catholic too. (Cheers.) I know under misguidance of real or imaginary evils the people will get uneasy sometimes, and I do think that every man has his troubles—for I have my troubles too—but I think with the poet, that it is better to bear our slight inconveniences than to rush on evil that we have not yet witnessed. (Cheers.) In Europe, where the countries call themselves constitutional, a fool or a wise man must occupy the throne. (Laughter.) There is nothing for an oppressed populace there but revolution. Now, revolu tion is a terrible thing. In this country the Constitution gives the right of the people to make a revolution every four years. You know what they do. They fire paper bullets. Were you ever in Rome ? Walking towards the Corso, the people there send off bullets—bullets of flowers at each other. But in this country the Government is a foun dation not to be destroyed. It is the right of the people every four years to correct or amend, as the printers say, the superstructure. B u t l e t th em preserv e the foundation, and let the American people build the superstructure every four years. But they say, take away the foundation. If we do, what shall you and I have to cling to as the best form of human government ? (Applause.) I am too old now to seek for another home and country than the one I have. I wish to cling to the old foundations of this one. But I want the men who may constitute the housekeepers of the super structure to be the right kind of men. (Applause.) How ever, I have no opinion ou this subject. (A rough voice from the crowd—" Let the niggers stay in the South I") I am not a politician, but you all know that everything is in the hands of the Supreme Government of the United States, and the majority of them, whether they make a blunder or not, in any system of legislation, if they are elected, have a right to govern, and I am always ready to be governed by the majority. (Applause.) Now, gentlemen —I beg pardon. men—(loud l aug h ter ) — l may ca ll y o u children—there is one thing, o ne ques ti on, w hi ch I w i s h to ask you, and which I desire you w ill answer. You w ill a l s o forgive me if 1 ask your counsel on another point. I am nearly done, but if you are willing to hear me, as Archbishop of New York, I am willing to give you a word of advice. (Applause.) I have not scolded you ; no, I hope you would not and do not deserve it. B u t I w ill conc l u d e w ith the observation with which I began, that I have not seen in this vast audience one single countenance that appears to be that of a ma n who could b e ca ll e d a r i oter. (Applause.) Then is this business to go o n ? A re we t o b e kept in trouble ? Is not every man bound f or hi s own sa k e , as well as for the sake of his neighbou r an d o f t h e c it y in which he lives, to be come, in his ow n mo d es t way, a preserver o f order and of peace ? (Cries of " Y es , s i r, " an d c heers.) Now, I have been told, and 1 have s een it i n th e paper s,that not a little property has been destroyed. I do not say by you. I hope not. But I remember th e anec d o t e o f a lady who had a little . boy about seven years of age, an d she said to " Come, darling, it is ti me t o ge t rea d y t o go to church." " Well," the child answered ; " we ll, ma, I am to go where : ever you go ; but as to going to church, what is the use ? Well, that was the expression of a child, and I hope he has learned better since. But if property be destroy ed, what is the use ? It must be all paid for. By whom ? By you no. Let us b e care f u l of that, because property can be re and me and everybody. What is the use ? No, no —no, placed ; but if lives are lost, the departed soul cannot be re called from the other world. Although in case of any in. justice —a violent assault upon your rights without provo cation—(" Hip, hip, hurrah , t hat ' s it ") —m y notion is,that every man has a right to defend his shanty if no more— (cries of "So we will," and cheers)—or hie house, or his church—(loud hurrahs) — a t the risk of his life. But the cause should be always just—must be defensive, not ag gressive. By the by, will you permit me to give you an advice ? (d Yes, yes; that's what we came here for.") Well, do you know what my advice would be ? I will ex press it briefly. It would be strange if I did not suffer much in my feeling by these reports?by these calumnies, as I hope they are, against you and against me—that you are rioters, and that you are this and th at—and t hat you can imagine I can so hear such things without feeling deeply. I s th ere any way, directly or indirectly, that you can put a stop to these proceedings—at least, such of you as love God and revere the laws of the country, of which n o t a s i ngle statute has been enacted against you, either as Irishmen or Catholics, but whose justice has brought you here in crowds ? Because you have—l, as well as others—suffered enough already. Governmentßecauseniocentmay b e s e hao d n stand, can protect itself, unless it shall be abl e t o protect its people. (Cheers.) Beca use, p erha ps imprudently how ever, military force may b e let l oose amongst you—and you The innocent know what that means.t own; and, if there be guilty ones, they, they are those most likely to escape. Now for a word of advice. Would it not be better, if you regard me, to retire, c a l m l y and quietly, but not give up your opinions and convictions. (" That's it." Cheers.) But to keep out of the crowd within which immortal souls are launched into eternity without a moment's notice ? Would not that be good advice ? (Cheers.) Well, and now there is another thing on which I would ask your advice and counsel. It is this, namely— that when the smoke clears away, the responsibility of these so-called riots should be thrown upon the Catholics, and especially upon the Irish Cat holics , and concentrate upon my heart. (Here the archbishop struck his breast.) I wish Ireland, r o e u l tellatnod, that h ra te never in what I sho u ld c l a i m to h ave b oen a committed country by her own sons, or on her born. (Cries of "Ireland , of course.") Yes, but what would you say if these stories are tru e ? What would you say ? own soil, till she was oppressed, a single act of cruelty— Ireland, that has been mother of heroes and poets, but never the mother of a coward. (Never, never, and loud cheers, with you will think that this is blarney. waving( (Laughter, ghahttes.r and nd Perhaps crie so f Oh, no, sir ; its true as goepel.") No. It is a fact; it is a fact. (A voice, " His tory tells it.") Of course. When the first apostle of Chris tianity went to Ireland—his name was not Patrick; he had been preceded by Pelagius—he went through his course, uelletaitrueddet,haendwtahyeyby which Patrick came, and spoke tof listened to him and to the truths of Christianity, perhaps t C h h e r m istianity, just as you have been patient enough to listen to me here. Look here, men ! the soul of Ireland was never crimsoned nor moistened by a single drop of martyr's blood, and that is what no other nation can say. In fact, it pains me deeply to have to revert to that country, I know so many things that are characteristic of the Irish. I know that Ireland is not a country that produces fools. Some times there are idots—a few there—and yet even those have' always the spark of Irish wit. And yet the feeling of deli cacy in that country is so nice that they never use the word idiot in Ireland; but they call a person of that description an innocent, because by their religious training they know the difference between moral right and wrong. But whether it be a poor boy or girl that is in that way, they call them and speak of them in a delicacy of language that even the French language cannot imitate. They call them innocents. But amongst them there was one who was no longer a boy, and he was ver y f on d, it appears, of taking away eggs, and sometimes they were not quite as fresh as they might be. (Laughter.) And it appears that once when he was swallowin g hi s f avour it e beverage, a little:chicken— (laughter)—began t o cry ou t i n his throat. He said, Ah, I'm sorry for you, but you spoke too late." (Continued laughter.) But there are very few of that stamp in Ireland. That is a soil for other productions, even when these pro , ductions cannot be employed for the good of the country that gave them birth. Oh ! what a scene arises up before my memory just now, When I think of the noble men that have been exiled under circumstances mere trying than those which you have had to experience—the O'Donnell of Spain, who is at the head of that nation—Field-Marshal Nugent, whom I know intimately—the O'Donnell who saved the life of the young Emperor by interposing his own body between his sovereign and the assassin. When I know that most of the universities on the continent of Europe were founded and established by the sons of Ireland —(hurrahs)—when I know that in later times of persecu tion the blood of your brethren has stained the Balaklava and the Crimea, and has crimsoned the streets of Delhi in India—when I think of the cruelty of the Government that has so treated them, leaving them no door open to fair ad. vancement, without any favour, except in the United States —when I think of all this , be assured of it that I do not envy the policy of John Bull—(laughter and applause)— in replacing a noble population by a race of fat bullocks, (Applause.) Now I took upon myself to say that you should not be molested in paying me a visit or in returning to your homes. I thank you for your kindness, and I hope that nothing will occur until you get home at least --(A voice—" When you want us again, sir, let us know, and we will pay you another visit")--and if by chance you should see a policeman or a soldier—(here the archbishop paused for a few seconds and added)—just look at him. At the conclusion of the archbishop's speech, and after he had retired frotn the balcony, the vociferous calls of the immense throng for his reappearance induced his grace again to present himself. Deafening cheers greeted him, and as he stood, bowing his acknowledgments, it was not a difficult matter to perceive the strong hold which the vene rable prelate had in the hearts of the men who rallied to his invitation. Not yet satisfied with the demonstration, and still anxious to exhibit their manifestations of profound respect, they in the most respectful manner solicited his pa ternal benediction. To ask was but to receive, and reappear ing at the window of his library, where he was again re ceived with almost tumultuous applause, he pronounced his benediction, every one with uncovered head receiving it, making at the same time the sign of the cross. Once more the archbishop exhorted them to repair immediately to thoir homes, and with a lusty " We will," they wended their ways to their respective domiciles. Ina few moments the crowded streets and avenues wore their usual tranquil aspect. The Archbishop then retired, and the throng dis persed, cheering him enthusiastically. A list of losses caused by incendiary fires has been compiled up to Thursday morning. Seventeen dis tinct fires are enumerated, comprising one or more buildings, and the estimated loss is 400,000 dols. Fifty-six patients have been taken to the Bellevue Hospital, of whom 13 have died. Fifteen dead bodies have been brought to the deadhouse of the hospital; the names are unknown. Alost of the in jured seem to have received gunshot wounds. About 30 persons concerned in the riots have been cap tured by Gen. Brown, and are held as military pri soners. It is stated, however, that they will be handed over to the civil authorities. On the 17th Brooklyn was quiet, though threats of sacking and burning bad been made, the measures of the autho rities having been complete. A riot was attempted in Portsmouth, but was suppressed. The Boston riot was entirely quelled. At Tray there was some rioting, but it was put down by the military with out firing. At New Haven there was a call made upon the Governor of Connecticut to give permis sion for the formation of a home guard as a protec tion against riot. The provost-martial of New Jersey, in order to prevent any outbreak, announced that no direction for a draught had been received. Soldiers in Rochester, State of New York, had made an attack upon Frederick Douglass, jun., son of the anti-slavery advocate. The Poughkeepsian mentions the following : The milk train on the Hudson River Railroad last night brought down from Albany a portion of the 25th Militia Regiment. At the station the soldiers tried to break into the refreshment saloon of William Johnson. Failing in this attempt, they came up into Main-street, and attacked the fruit and confectionary store of J. B. Clifton. Breaking the door in, they helped themselves to fruit, candles, nuts, &c., robbed the money drawer, and left, bent on other mis chief. These soldiers were part of a regiment ordered to New York city to assist in quelling the riot there. Heavy firing has been heard off Portland. The following despatches have been received : Portland, Maine, July 17. The captain of the steamer from New York reports hear ing, about 10 o'clock, 12 heavy guns south-southwest of Cape Elizabeth, apparently 18 or 20 miles off, he being within seven or eight miles of the vessels, in a thick fog." ANOTHER REPORT. A fisherman reports coming up from Harpswell this morning he heard, from 10 to 11 o'clock, about 15 miles south-east from Portland, heavy firing, apparently from two vessels firing broadsides. One vessel apparently to have heavier guns than the other. A number of despatches of an unauthenticated character, announcing the fall of Charleston, have been received. They are as follows: Philadelphia, July, 17. The Inquirer of this city has the following posted on their bulletin board:—" Information from Washington re ceived hero leads to the belief that Charleston was captured on the 14th inst." Another report on the streets is as follows General Beauregard has evacuated and burnt Charleston." This last statement is said to have come via Chattanooga. A rebel picket is reported to have told the story. Philadelphia, July 17, It is understood, on good authority, that the Government has received a despatch from General Rosecrans' Head quarters, stating that the Chattanooga Rebel announces the capture of Charleston on the 14th inst. Nashville, Tennessee, July 17, News received from Chattanooga to-day says that Charleston is in possession of the Federals. Major-General Gordon Granger takes command of the district of Cumber land with his Headquarters at Nashville. Washington, July 17. The city was wild with the rumour to-day that Sumter had fallen, the news corning through rebel sources, but it is believed that it must refer to the capture of Morris Island, as the Government has yet no advices of so brilliant a vic tory. They are, however, daily expected. A letter to the Boston Herald dated off Charleston, the 12th of July, says the grand and final attack was assigned for Tuesday the 14th. The letter says — Everything is working well here. Morris Island is ours. Charleston and the forts are completely besieged. Five iron clads and 15 gunboats are off Sumter. Ten gunboats, one 48-gun frigate, and the New Ironsides will come over the bar to-night at high water. Three more ironclads will ar rive this afternoon. Six hundred fresh men to assist in the ironclads and gunboats have arrived. Batteries with 200- pounder rifled guns erected on Morris Island by our troops, will take part in the bombardment of Sumter. A special despatch to the Chicago 7imes gives the following particulars of the surrender of Port Hud son. It is dated from Vicksburg, July 10 : After his unsuccessful assaults upon the enemy's works, of which you have already been informed, General Banks laboured to reduce the place by continuous bombardment, and by closing all avenues by which the enemy could pro cure a supply of provisions. On the evening of the 7th General Gardner sent cut a flag of truce. He had heard of the capitulation of Vicksburg, and desired General Banks to give him such information as he might have concerning the truth or falsity of the rumour. General Banks sent him a copy of General Grant's despatch, giving full particulars of the capitulation of Vicksburg. General Gardner then expressed his willingness to surrender upon the same terms. General Banks declined, and announced that he would ac • cept nothing short of an unconditional surrender. General Gardner had before expressed his determination to hold to the last extremity, and seemed sanguine both of the ulti mate success of the Confederate arms in holding the Missis sippi, and his own ability to defend the works until he should be relieved by an attack upon General Banks' rear. The intelligence of General Grant's splendid triumph at Vicksburg, however, and the advance of a strong column into the interior of Mississippi, cutting off his expected re lief, speedily dispelled General Gardner's hopes. Dis heartened and discouraged by the news he had received, General Gardner surrendered his force unconditionally on the morning of July 8. The garrison consisted of 6,000 effective men, in excellent condition. There were 60 pieces of artillery in the various batteries along the river and in the rear of the place, many of them of very large calibre. The magazines contained an abundant supply of powder, but a small quantity of shot and shell. This deficiency ac counts for the rebel fire having been so slack during the last two or three days of the siege. General Gardner was evidently husbanding his resources to repel an anticipated assault, and had an abundant supply to have worked all his guns for several days continuously, without entirely ex hausting his supply. There was no beef in the possession of the rebels at Port Hudson at the time of the surrender. The flesh of mules had been dealt out for some days in short rations, to supply the want of beef. There were quite a number of mules inside the rebel works and anabundance of corn to have sustained the garrison for weeks longer if they had had the heart to fight. A despatch from Cairo to the same journal, dated the 15th, says :—" The informal surrender of Port Hudson was made by Major-G enera l G ardner on Wednesday, July 8. Just and formal possession was taken of the rebel works and forts on the morning of the 9th. The surrender was unconditional. The number of prisoners will not exceed 7,000; one in formant places them at 6,000. There had been no general engagement at Port Hudson for some days previous to the surrender, all having been quiet, ex cepting that artillery practice was kept up on our part, and fully replied to by the enemy. Provisions had been short with the rebels for some time, and their communications having been cut off they could not obtain more supplies. There were no hopes of succour from the forces known to be in the vicinity ; hence there was no alternative but surrender or starvation. The results immediately consequent upon this last grand victory of the Union arms over the rebellion can hardly be estimated at pre sent, but one great fact is now established—the Father of Waters, the Mississippi river, is to-day open to navigation by Union steamers from its source to the Balize. The above is enough, but lesser results may be stated. We captured the en emy's works at Port Hudson, which are deemed very strong and well protected, naturally and artificially. We have more small arms and ammu nition than we S have prisoners. We have taken 60 cannon, mostly field pieces ; one major-general, one brigadier-general, and four colonels, with the line and field officers of three or four more regi ments. I have been able to learn only the follow ing names of the rebel officers captured :—Major General Gardner, Brigadier-General Beall, Colonel Miles, Colonel Steadman, and Colonel Marshall Smith." Advices from Memphis to the 12th say : "General Sherman is pursuing Johnstone, with every prospect of destroying his entire army. General Dodge at Corinth, reports that he has routed the rebel forces under Forierit and Biffies, which have been scouring the country north of his lines, killing, wounding, and capturing quite a number, General Hurlbut's cavalry scouts report Colonel Blythe with 100 men and four pieces of artillery, at Coldwater station, and General Chalmers at Panola. A letter received at Hernando states that Johnstone has been fighting near Jackson, and was falling back. Richard Non Was still in the north of here enforcing the conscription. General Dodge will attend to him." Extraordinary Charge of Murder in Pentonville. Last night Dr. Lankester held an investigation at the Salmon Tavern, Penton-street, Pentonvilie-road, respecting the death of Mary Ann Best, or Berridge, aged 37 years, who was alleged to have been mur dered under very extraordinary circumstances. Mrs. Harriet Swan, 78, High-street, Hoxton, said that deceased was her sister. Deceased was a single woman, but she had two children—one by a solici tor, named Clarke, and the second by Peter Best. She was for some time past in service, but she left her place on Sunday evening last. She went to lodge in Best's house. Witness believed she had not come by her death fairly. Best had frequently of late wanted to renew his intimacy with her, but she always refused. Witness believed that he had endea voured to do so again on Sunday night, and not being able to get the better of her had strangled her. He used to beat her and treat her shamefully before ; and when witness wanted her to leave him and reside with her he said that he would do for her and put a bullet through witness. Witness often saw bruises on the deceased. When deceased was in service he used to go after her and stand outside and get her wages. Deceased often said that she gave him her wages to keep his tongue quiet and save her cha racter. Neither Best nor the woman he was now living with let any of deceased's relatives know of her death. Margaret Lacey, 2, Warren-cottages, said that she lived with Best as his wife. Deceased came to lodge at their house'at half-past seven o'clock. She ap peared ill, and said she was to stop for two or three days till she was better. Witness believed she was Mr. Best's sister, and she was always called so. She went to bed at half-past eight o'clock. Witness saw her two or three times afterwards, and last at ten o'clock before going out. She was then in bed and looked better. She said she Was very com fortable. Witness returned at two o'clock, and found her dead. Witness had left the knife pro duced on the kitchen mantelshelf before going out. Best was to have met witness in Holborn at one o'clock, but he did not because witness did not stay. She had left him at home. Deceased never said she would tyke her own life. Witness was much surprised to find her dead. Witness had had no idea that she was other than Best's sister, and was almost sure that there had been no inti macy of late between there. Mrs. Emma Hobby, a lodger in the same house, said that she knew deceased as Best's sister. Saw deceased come on Sunday night, and saw her the next day at half past 12 in the yard sitting on a chair with her hands before her. Heard Best ask her if she wanted anything, and she said no. He went out at 10 minutes to 1. Witness did not see him go out. At a quarter to 2 he must have come in, and he holloed up the stairs, "My God! my sister has committed suicide." Witness came down and saw her sitting in a chair in the room, with a handkerchief round her neck. Best took the handkerchief cff her neck and told witness to go for Dr. Luke. He then went for the doctor himself. Wm. Busson, 3, Warren-cottages, said that about 10 or 15 minutes to 1 o'clock on Monday he saw deceased sitting in the yard. Best was in the kitchen preparing to go out. About 2 o'clock Best told witness his sister had destroyed her self. He asked witness to take charge of her purse, which contained four sovereigns and two three penny bits. Dr. W. Sheehy said that at two o'clock on Mon day Best called him to deceased, Witness found her lying on the floor. Best said he had removed a handkerchief from her neck and mouth. Wit ness found a wound in the right arm at the bend of the elbow. Some of the veins were cut through, but none of the large arteries. The penknife pro duced was on the floor by her side. It was stained with blood. The wound was an inch and a half long. Death resulted from strangulation. The post mortenz examination showed deceased to have been a very healthy young woman. The wound was of a character that might have been inflicted by the person herself. Deceased was not enciente. There were no marks of violence. Miss Julia Armstrong, 32, Pen tonvill2-road, said that deceased had been nine years in her service. For three weeks past she was ill, and the doctor said that she had low fever, which might turn to typhus, and therefore she left on Sunday to go to her brother's. She was perfectly sane. There was no delirium or despondency—quite the con trary. Best had called during her illness, and up. peared very kind. Th?, Coroner then addressed Best, and said that a most serious charge had been preferred against him, and though he might make a statement, the court, to save him from cross-examination, would not swear him. Peter Best said that he would prefer being sworn ; and having been duly cautioned, he said that he had known deceased 12 years. Her last child, a girl 9 years old, was his. The child was at Miss Armstrong's.. She came on Sunday night, and could hardly walk without a stick. She said she had eaten nothing for a fortnight, and she only took a little gruel. Witness went to Miss Arm strong, and fetched some pills, which he gave her. At nine o'clock on Monday she said she was better, and that sbe would go to Miss Armstrong's during the day. When sitting in the yard subsequently, she said she felt comfortable, but that something went " pop" in her head. She attributed that to weakness. Witness was in all the morning. He went out just before and walked to the end of Gray's-inn-lane to see Mrs. Lacy, but could not. He walked about Holborn, and, on his return, he nodded to a policeman whom he knew. He saw no one else that knew him. When he got back he found deceased sitting in the front room with her head thrown back. He believed she had fainted. He took a handkerchief off her neck, which was tied tightly round it, after he gave an alarm. There was an apron in her mouth. The blood y knife lay on the table. In answer to the Jury, the Coroner said that the great necessity would be for the accused to establish the fact that he was out on the day in question. He had not done that yet. The deceased was not left-handed, though the wound was on the right arm. Several of the witnesses here said that both arms were wounded, and, in consequence, Dr. Sheehy was requested to make another examination of the body. He did so, and stated that there was a slight cut on the left arm, but not deep enough to draw blood, and not nearly so large as that on the other arm. The woman Lacey said that there was a person in court who saw Best return home at 2 o'clock. Philip Lowther, 24, Warren-street, said that he was standing at his door, and saw Best go into hi s house about 10 minutes before 2 o'clock on Monday. Witness next saw him going in with Dr. Sheehy, about 10 minutes after: By the Coroner—Had not seen him go out mean while. Had seen him go out during the morning, but could not say as to the time. The Coroner said that though the man Best had given his evidence with what appeared to be great straightforwardness, it was not yet established that he had been out all the time between half-past 12 during which hours the and 10 minutes to 2 \, ,:ven sacrificed. He should woman's life might have therefore adjourn the eot for further evidence, m and Best could of course pro A s uce any witnesses that might prove he was out as he PL' a ted • Best said he only saw the poiceman he referred to, and he did not know his name. The Coroner said that he could no doubt find him out. The court was then adjourned. (REUTER'S EXPRESS.) QUEENSTO WN, TUESDAY EVENING. The Inman steamer City of Washington, from New York on the 18th of J uly, has arrived. Mr. Vallandigham has accepted the nomination for Governor of Ohio. The following order has been issued by the Pro vost-Marshal General of the United States. There were many who feared that it would cause another outbreak of the riot ; but if any idea of violence was entertained it was restrained by the heavy rain storm that set in at sunset on the 17th : War Department, Provost-Marshal General's Office, Washington, D.C., July 17. Circular No. 48. The operations of the draught lately ordered in the New England and Middle States, though in most instances com pleted or now in progress without opposition, have in one or two cities been temporarily interrupted. .. Provosts-Marshal are informed that no orders have been issued countermanding the draught. Adequate force has been ordered by the Government to the points where the proceedings have been interrupted. Provosts-Marshal will be sustained by the military forces of the country in enforcing the draught, in accordance with the laws of the United States, and will proceed to execute the orders heretofore given for the draught as rapidly as shall be practicable by aid of the military forces ordered to co-operate with and protect them. JAMES B. FRY, Provost-Marshal General. Notwithstanding the statement in their proclama tion, it will be remembered that on Thursday, when the riot was at its height, Provost-Marshal Nugent, of New York, issued the following certificate : New York, July 15. The draught has bees suspended in New York city and Brooklyn. ROBERT NUGENT, Colonel and Acting Assistant Provost- Marshal- General. The Mayor of New York has issued a proclama tion as follows Mayor's-office, New York, July 17. To the citizens of New York.—The riotous assemblages have been dispersed. Business is running in its usual channels. The various lines of omnibuses, railway, and telegraph have resumed their ordinary operations. Few symptoms of disorder remain, except in a small district in the eastern part of the city, comprising a part of the Eigh teenth and Twenty. first wards. The police is everywhere alert. A sufficient military force is now here to suppress any illegal movement, however formidable. • Let me exhort you, therefore, to pursue your ordinary business. Avoid especially all crowds. Remain quietly at your homes, except when engaged in business, or assisting the authorities in some organised force. When the military appears in the streets do not gather about it, being sure that it is doing its duty in obedience to orders from superior authority. Your homes and your places of business you have a right to defend, and it is your duty to defend them at all hazards. Yield to no intimidation, and to no demand for money as the price of your safety. If any person warns you to desist from your accustomed business, give no heed to the warning, and arrest the person and bring him to the nearest stationhouse for punishment as a conspirator. Be assured that the public authorities have the ability and the will to protect you from those who have conspired alike against your peace, against the Government of your choice, and against the laws which your representatives have enacted. GEORGE OPDYRE, Mayor. The New York Herald of the 18th says— Quiet was restored, at least temporarily, to the city yesterday, and the usual business up-town proceeded with less interruption than has occurred on any previous day of the week. In some parts there was considerable excite ment, but no actual fighting occurred. The following are the reasons that are believed to have operated for the pre sent restoration of peace :-1. The effectual pro tempore stoppage of the conscription ; 2. The rumour that no new attempt will be made to enforce the conscription; 3. The judicious appeals and prompt action of General Seymour and the municipal police; 4. The conciliatory addresses of Archbishop Hughes ; 5. The riotous marauding of thieves, blacklegs, and gaol birds, who endeavoured to enrich them selves and revenge private grievances by seizing upon a time of popular commotion for the perpetration of the basest crimes, have been pretty effectually stopped by the police, assisted by State and Federal troops. There is a lull in the fearful tempest that raged on Monday and Tuesday. Whether it shall be a complete subsidence of the storm de pends upon the future action to be taken by the Federal authorities. Those who were concerned in the troubles of Monday and Tuesday have been heard to say that they do not wish the scenes of those days to be re-enacted, and were ready to stop at the mere rumour that the draught had been suspended. During the quiet that now follows some Re publicans are moving their families out of town, as the Pro vost-Marshal General has stated that the draught is to be enforced. General Harvey Brown, by order of Secretary Stanton, has been relieved by General Canby from the command of the city and harbour of New York. The Democratic papers express doubts of the necessity of the change. Archbishop Hughes invited the Catholics of the city to assemble at his house in Madison-avenue. In accordance with the invitation of Archbishop Hughes, an immense assemblage of 5,000 or 6,000 people, who have been active in " suppressing the draught," gathered about his residence in Madison avenue yesterday afternoon to hear his advice for their conduct during the present state of affairs. The following order was issued by General Canby for the instruction of the Federal troops in the city in relation to this matter : Headquarters, United States Troops, City and Harbour of New York, July 17. (Order No. 2.) The commanders of detachments of United States troops in the city are informe d that the me eting at the house of A r chbishop Hughes is intended to keep order and law. They will be careful not to molest persona passing t o an d from it, and to pay no attention to harsh words, only inter fering when actual force or violence occurs. By order of Brigadier-General E. H. S. CANBY. A. P. Fiske, Assistant-Adjutant. The following order in the same spirit was simul taneously issued by the Board of Police to the cap tains of the various precincts : Head-quarters, July 17. Instruct your men carefully that the bishop's meeting is intended to keep law and order. All persona passing too and from it must be unmolested. Pay no attention to hard words, and only interfere when actual violence occurs. By order of the Board, The S. C. HAWLEY, Chief Clerk. reports go on to add, men, women, and chil dren of thefileratholic faith were present in a vast crowd, standing upon i b ng the avenue in the vicinity, and front which arrels, boxes, and every little emi nence a view of the venerable prelate CITY SEWERS COMMISSION. The weekly meeting of these commissioners was held at the Guildhall on Tuesday, Mr. Deputy De Jersey in the chair. It was reported that the officers Lad condemned during tae past week 626; lbs. of meat as unfit for food, the greater portion of which was diseased. The mortality returns are ex , Jctly the overage for the corresponding week of the last seven years. Twetay-two, or nearly half the deaths, were among ch.ildrrn of less than 5 years of age, and 8 were amot, g old persons of 6, and upwards. The chief causes of death were Phtbisis, 3 ; pneumonia, 3 ; bronchit is, 1 ; mesente ric disease, 5 ; hydrocephalus, 3 ; whooping cough, 2 ; scarlet fever, 1 ; diphtheria, 1 ; Engiish cholera, 1; and infantile diarrhoea,: ; mak ing together 11 deaths from tubercular affections of the lungs, and only 7 from diseases of a zymotic character. Dr. LETTIEBY informed the commissioners that in consequence of the remarks made in a former report respecting the adulteration of the German yeast: brought from Schiedam into the ports of London. and Hull, the authorities at Hull had seized a large quantity of such yeast during the last fortnight. On making an analysis of six samples of about 7,8001b5., it was found that the proportion of pipeclay was from 23 to 36 per cent. The Local Botrd of Health, therefore, acting under the advice of their law officer, took proceedings under the Nuisances Removal Act, and obtained an order from the magistrates for the destruction of the yeast. About £177,000 worth of this article is annually imported into England, the greater portion of which is used in the preparation of bread. The general purposes committee was ordered to inquire into and report upon the matter. _ _ Mr. BAYLTS laid before the meeting the heads of an agreement with the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Company respecting the viaduct which is to cross Ludgate-hill. The Railway Com pany have to provide in its construction for the widening of the Hill to the extent of sixty feet, The agreement was then signed. COUNTRY MARKETS. LYNN- . 'ITESDAY.
