One of his dying requests appears to have been that General EWELL should be appointed his successor. His funeral at Richmond, on the 12th, is described as having been marked by extra ordinary demonstrations of popular grief and vene ration. According to a local journal, regarded by many as the principal organ of that Southern me tropolis :—" Since the death of WASHINGTON no simi:ar event has so profoundly and sorrowfully impressed the people of Virginia." Immediately on receiving intellgenee of the serious wound from which the Lieutenant-General was suffering after the great battle at Fredericksburg, the Confederate Commander-in-Chief, it seems, spontaneously has tened to address to his illustrious Lieutenant a letter, in which he (General LEE) thus emphatically expressed his grief at the intelligence:—"l can not," he said, "express my grief at the occurrence. If I could have directed evens I should have chosen, for the good of the country, to have been disabled in you; stead." Adding to this extraordinary evi dence of his full appreciation of General " Stone wall " JACKSON—" I congratulate you upon the victory, which is due to your skill and energy." 'When the direful event, then but little, if at all, anticipated, actually came to pass—within, alas ! how few hours afterwards—General LEE, the Commander-in. Chief of the victorious army of the Confederates thus, upon the 11th inst., announced the bitter tidings to that army in a General Order, of which the subjoined are the most important para graphs—" With deep grief," says this noble and affecting Order, " the Commanding General an nounces to the army the death of Lieut.-General JACKSON, who expired on the 9th, at 3.15 p.m. The daring, skill, and energy of this great and good soldier, by a decree of an all-wise Providence, are now lost to us. But while we mourn his death we feel that his spirit lives, and will inspire the whole army with his indomitable courage and un shaken confllence in GOD as our hope and strength." And then —in identically they ; same spirit in which Sir WILLIAM HOSTE signalled to his fleet on going into action, at the Battle of Lima, " Remember NELSON pre cisely the same spirit General LEE adds, in this mournful but inspiriting Order to his troops, in reference to the glorious Soldier just d e p arte d . " Let his name be a watchword for his corps, who have followed him to victory on so many fields, Let officers and soldiers imitate his invincible de- termination to do everything in the defence of our beloved country." And the mere utterance of the name of " Stonewall" JACKSON, throughout the rest if this dreadful war, we may rest assured, will be as infuriating almost against their Narthern antagonists, to the Confederate troopers on going into battle, as the beating of the pas de charge upon ZITZKA's drum could ever have been to the followers of ZITZKA ! The greatness of the loss experienced by the South through this (its it seems to us mortals) premature death of " Stonewall" JACKSON has hardly yet been in any way, or to any moderate extent, adequately reaiised. It will be a consolation to all those who sympathise with the Southerners to find, now, in this latest news just brought to us across the ocean by the Norwegian, that the next best name in the lis t a Confederate Lieutenant-General; the n ext bes name to JACKSON'S up on that gallant roll of the Pailadins of LEE, the name of BEAUREGARD Crops up again opportunely in the very midst of the bitter grief felt at the sudden disappearance from the scone of STONEWALL JACKSON —the ablest of them all For some time past General BEAUREGARD has in a manner disappeared from view—now — as We have said, most opportunely to reappear at the very juncture when hid advent would be the most heartily welcomed. "Rumours," says the telegram, flashed from New York on the evening of the 16th inst., to catch the Norwegian, then upon the eve of taking her departure eastwards, "rumours are cur- rent that General BEAT/REGARD has arrived in Richmond with reinforcements." The news from Prussia is most unsatisfactory. The Cham'oers have been closed, and hence matters are pushed to an extremity. It is said that the KING refused to receive the deputation appointed by the House to deliver the address, therefore it was Tve n by the Ministers. The answer of the KING j upholds the views of his last message. Nothing could be more ill-jadged than the tone adopeed by the KING throughout. He assumes, in the most arrogant manner, that he is to be the sole judge of all that is meet and right for the country. Really, after reading this passage, one may ask, where is the good of having a Chamber of Representatives at all, since it is their function to do nothing but follow the lead of their Sovereign, and submit im plicitly to the dictates of his Ministers, " The position of the country is known to the KING. The Chamber by its Address has cut away all hope of community of action. The attitude of the House in foreign questions has grieved the KING deeply. Prussia is not more isolated owing to her foreign policy than other Powers. Some members of the House have threatened to refuse the supplies in the contingency of a war; but the KING will seriously oppose such unjustifiable endeavours to enlarge the constitutional rights of the Chamber. The KING will maintain the power of the Crown undiminished, and will not allow the foundation upon which it rests to be removed." If these assertions are true, what is the Chamber to do ? They are not to pronounce an opinion upon foreign subjects, nor express their wishes in home concerns, neither are they to interfere in any way with the finances. As if this was not enough, the KING adds, "the Ministers possess my confi• deuce, and their actions have my assent," Surely nothing can more determinedly express the resolu tion to carry out the pre-determined views of abso lutism than this sentence. It leaves no room for hope, but gives ample hope for fear as to the result. Count EULENBERG read the reply of the KING, and also gave notice that the Parliamentary session would be closed in the afternoon. Herr VON BIS MARK read a speech from the Throne afterwards, in which the most indignant terms are employed to express censure on the conduct of the deputies. It is stated that the Chamber by ics address to the KING has placed itself in direct opposition to the Government, and throws upon them all the onus and opprobrium of the misunderstanding, by stating that they are adverse to any understanding. It is a universally acknowledged fact that to effect anything like a reconciliation both sides must con sent to forego something, and meet half way on the road of concession. In this case, however, there can be no mistake; the deputies are; told their duties, which are, to yield in everything to the Will of their masters, and to acknowledge not alone the divine right of the KING, but also to confess the in fallibility of the Ministers of the Crown. It is not very surprising that the representatives of a free people should not be slow to learn so hard a lesson or take some time in the solution of so mysterious a problem. It would appear to a stranger reading this speech that Herr VON BISMARK was ad dressing some rebels, instead of a mighty power in the State. In his excitement and indig nation he tells us pretty plainly what are his rea opinions, and discloses his arbitrary designs most fully and completely. As regards Poland, for in stance, we find that a great crime has been com mitted by the Deputies. "By its debates upon foreign politics the Chamber has endeavoured to paralyse the influence of the Government, and has thereby increased the excitement prevalent in the provinces bordering upon Poland." Such lan guage as this surely emanates from St. Peters burg, and we may naturally expect as an addenda that the guilty parties are to be subjected to for feiture or exile. If anything could be wanting to excuse or explain the resistance of the Chambers to the Ministerial measures, it is amply afforded in this reply of the KING and this speech at the close of the Chambers. More mistaken conduct could not have been imagined. The King of PRUSSIA and his too subservient Ministers are now exemplifying the adage of antiquity, Quem Deus vult perdere prizes dementat. When the KING says that "he will maintain the power of the Crown undiminished, and will not allow the foundation upon which it rests to be removed," he is taking upon himself a responsibility that is beyond human power. No man can ensure to himself an undisturbed inheri tance, or be certain that his throne will last his life. He can take the wisest precautions to gain the de sired end, but the Sovereign of PRUSSIA is not adopting such a course. He is determined to rule in terror, or to crush down all who stand in his way. Ho is nearly related to the Royal family of this country by the new ties that have been formed. The - eldest daughter of England has found her home in his dominions; cau no friend or adviser exhort him to seek here for a model of a strong Government, and a well-established monarchy ? The witnesses of its security are many; he may learn that it has stood the test of revolutions and disturbances unmoved and unshaken ; and why ? Because it has its foun dations in the trust and goodwill of the people. Until foreign nations can learn this lesson, there will be no stable forms of Government, and the Monarch who rules with tyrannic sway to-day, exulting over his superiority in judgment, and re velling in the plenitude of his power, may to-morrow find that power crumble beneath his touch, because it had no strength in its pride and glory. All well wishers of Prussia, on whichever side they may be ranged, will deeply deplore this untoward state of things, and earnestly trust that ere long some be nigner influences may intervene, and these unhappy Deputies and the Ministers be terminated once and for ever. It is certain that this last transaction has made the effort of an adjustment of differences more perplexing, but it is not yet too late to avert the mischief and misery that will inevitably ensue if such counsels are to be the law of the land. The Deputies have shown a spirit worthy of their country, and their patriot zeal has been exercised under most trying circumstances. They have done what they could, and no future evil that results from this fracas can rest with them. While they had the opportunity they upheld the rights of their position, and those who have watched the progress of this discussion can only look back on their career with regret to think that theirs was not the success they so richly deserved; but their merit is the same, victorious or vanquished, and we must regard them henceforth as representatives who have proved worthy of their trust, and as champions country should be ofcousti tational privileges, whom their proud to rank among her sons. ing and the descanting on th e ev il s of overcrowd It is strang e th a t w hil e p e ople are continually dangers to public health of the close atmosphere of our pent-up cities, the few open spots which yet linger in the vicinity of the metropolis are with such difficulty preserved from encroachment. It is almost impossible to over -estimate the advan tages conferred on large masses of people—men, women, com on s. T he p and, above parks all, h children-- e b l dr eeenn— mc b l y l e our not p ay airnksp t and inaptly, "the lungs o f London," and a the comm ons , though not so close at hand, are a equal value. Th ey show the fresh sights of country life to the wearied eyes of the toiling thousands who spend day after day in the monotonous routine of their trades, and Who, from press of business, or lack of means, can seldom escape from its busy whirl to a greater distance. Indeed there are thousands who are never likely to take a pleasure trip of any kind. How melancholy it is to learn from a full town-bred child that it has never seen the country, and can with difficulty form any idea of green grass, fields, trees, and hedges. Yet if this be too common now among the families of our Etruggling poor, how much more frequent will such ignorance be if the invaders of popular rights succeed in their designs on the heaths and commons round London ? It is difficult to understand the motive that actuates these gentlemen. Surely there is ground enough and to spare in the suburbs of the metropolis for building purposes. Why should they not avail themselves of some of the waste spaces to be found in most of the outskirts of London, and busy them selves in extending still further some of those rew half-finished localities which offer employment to the energies and capital of a whole tribe of such active "improvers." With regard to their territo rial rights, it is difficult to see what induced them to purchase property in the neighb our h oo d o f a heath ur a common if they dislike the sight of it. If they wish to see the hedges cut down, the turf taken up, the gorse uprooted, and the blue sky shut out by bricks and mortar, it is somewhat perplexing to know "ce gulls ailment faire dana cette galere." Why do they not take up their abode in the Poultry or some adjacent part? Why should they thrust themselves into the pleasures of their fellows of different tastes from themselves, and endeavour to prevent others from enjoying a breath of fresh air, that common blessing so sadly uncommon in close city streets and lanes? The latest offender in this respect is Mr. THOMPSON, who, unhappily for the metropolis at large, if he succeed in his object, has recently purchased some property in the vicinity of Tooting-common, and who pro poses to exercise his manorial rights by enclosing a considerable portion of one of our most extensive commons. The attractions of this part are well known from the throngs who visit it in these sum mer days. Though within seven miles from St. Paul's it is as rural and as pretty as many genuine country scenes. Pleasant walks abound, and the view is enriched by the woods of the neighbour ing domains, one of which once belonged to the THRALES, famous from their associations with SAMUEL JOHNSON. We can fancy what would be the pithy expression of the Doctor's indignation if he had foreseen such an attack on his favourite neighbourhood, It is fortunate for the public that the inhabitants of the district have taken up the cause in a firm and temperate manner, showing all due deference to the rights of Mr. THOMPSON, yet manifesting no inclination to surrender those in tangible rights of the public which that gentleman is so slow to recognise. It is el, ident that he does not in the least understand what an act of cruelty he is contemplating. He considers the com- mon in its present state to be " a nuisance instead of a benefit," and on being pressed for an explanation of the object of the proposed enclosure, his lawyer made the startling reply that it was "To render the land productive by levelling the hillocks, and filling in the swamps, and possibly for building purposes." After con- siderable discussion the matter was adjourned for a month ; and, as Mr. THOMPSON declares, he is will ing to meet his opponents in a friendly spirit, and they, on their part, are ready to subscribe any reasonable sum he may require for the surrender of his rights, there are good grounds for anticipating a satisfactory settlement of the matter. If the same plan were followed with all our open spaces, the rights of proprietors brought out, and the ground declared to be public property for ever, a grand boon would be conferred, not only on our own generation, but on all future generations of our busy and crowded London. The lines of streets and squares have surely room enough to extend ; the moat practical and enterprising will admit that some spaces can be spared. Let the workers in the busy hive have the benefit of them, that when they " leave their weary wailing," they may be able to lose sight for a while of workshops, and courts, and alleys, and rejoice for a while in the pre sence of that nature which leads the most callous asensibility to Nature's GOD THE INTERNATIONAL DOG SHOW.—Yesterday was the third day of exhibition and first shilling day of the, dog show at the Agricultural Hall, Islington, and it is stated chat up to 7 o'clock last evening upwards of 20,000 persons had passed throu:,4l the turnstiles, EXETER HALL.—To-morrow (Friday) evening the Sacred Harmonic Society will perform Haydn's "Creation." The Straits (Singapore) Times says that the island is more infested with tigers than ever, and that large numbers of Chinese wood-cutters, who work in the jungle, are killed by those beasts. Although the island is only 15 miles square, and 100,0U0 persons live on it, it is not cleared of jungle. 100 dollars is paid for every tiger killed. The tigers swim over to Singapore from the Malay Peninsula, which is only a quarter of a mile distant. THE COCKCHAFERS.—The Unzon Bretonne has the following :—" The municipal council of Coulans (Sarth) lately voted the sum of 600 f. for the encouragement of the destruction of cockchafers. The amount to be paid is five centimes the pound, and as the cockchafers weigh on an average about 500 to the pound, the 600 f. voted will serve for the destruction of 6,000,000 of those insects, Within a few days from the voting of the measure 1,8561 b. weight of cockchafers were brought in." ARMY LIST OF 1642.—Very shortly there will be published by Mr. Rotten, of Piccadilly, " The Army Lists of the Roundheads and Cavaliers," containing the names of the officers in the Royal and Parliamentary Armies of 1642, reprinted from the comparatively unknown originals, and edited, with notes, by Mr. Edward Peacock. A WORD ON TREASURE TROVE.—It is difficult to make the peasantry comprehend manorial rights. A man who finds a treasure on his own ground, and that treasure one which can have no living owner, naturally looks on himself as its rightful possessor. He has pro bably never heard of King Edward's law of treasure trove, and a natural sense of justice does not guide him rightly in the matter. If a liberal reward were given —nearly the metal value of the trouvaille—it is quite possible that we might have become possessed of many precious relics which are now broken up and consigned to the melting pot.—Once a Week, THE LAST DAYS OF A BEAUTY.—Of the early part of George the Thi r d' s re i gn there were not two beauties who pai n t e d, p a t c h e d , and powdered more, or who needed it less, than Mrs. Hobart and Lady Coventry ; the former, all in gauze and spangles, "like a spangled pud ding," as a fine gentleman remarked; the latter, in a light blue dress, covered with round spots of silver, which made her look, according to George Selwyn, like "change for a guinea." Poor Lady Coventry I As long as paint could deceive her, she was slow to believe in consumption ; but when the terrible truth forced itself upon her, she lay, all unpainted and unpowdered, gazing into a pocket-glass till she could bear no longer to contem plate the breaking -up of the wreck of herself. Nor would she offer that melancholy spectacle to the sympathy or in difference of others. She passed from couch and pocket mirror to bed and closed curtains ; and with no other light than that of a spirit-lamp beneath a kettle in her room, she received visitors and the ministration of her servants, never doing more than passing her small hand between the cur tains which hid for ever the living pale face of the once supreme beauty.—. arnhill Magazine lished. for lune,j us t pub _ SU]CIDE GP MR, SWA-6130ROUGH, OF THE STRAND r t a t e h i aatnAel h rlw r a e npbort was current yes tTe r H d a E y A T t oR theE . ——e effect c and manager of the Strand Theatresrhs Since the marriage of his daught er deceased had been residing on Ilave;:tolos1:- suffering from indisposition has attended to i the theatre.

The Royal Mail Steampacket Company's ship Oneida, from the Brazils, arrived hero this morning, and will leave for Southampton at 3 p.m., with 115 passengers, £1,498 in specie, 985 packages of tobacco, 181 packages of coffee, and 250 packages of sundries,. AMERICA. (Per the Norwegian.) NEW YORE, May 15, Morning. The truth of the reported engagement with Gen. Grant near Jackson is doubted. Alt last accounts General Grant was encamped near Block River, 18 miles from Grand Gulf, awaiting reinforcements. The Government has forbidden the exportation of horses, mules, or war material. General M'Clelian denies that he has tendered his resignation. The correspondent of the New York World says: There are indications that General Lee's army is taking up a line of defence that shortens its rear and affords protection to both railroads running out of Richmond. The army is believed to be swinging round its left on the Gordonsville and Richmond road to Frederick's Hull station, with its right resting on the Fredericksburg and Richmond Rail road at Bowling Green, thus protecting the upper end of the angle formed by those two roads at Hanover Junction, 16 miles from Richmond. The position thus assumed places the Confederate army half-way between Fredericksburg and Richmond, and gives them two railroads from Richmond to their army. Ttie two bridges of any length on the Richmond and Fredericksburg Railroad are across the North Anna and South Anna rivers, which form the Pamunky river, several miles south of the railroad. It was supposed General Stoneman had destroyed these bridges, bat this was not the case. A bridge across the Pamunky was burned, but that was crossed by no railway. The bridges across the Anna rivers, on account of some mismanagement, were not destroyed. Trains are now running upon the Richmond and Fredericksburg Railroad with such facility as to bring the Richmond papers to Frede ricksburg on the day of their publication. General Lee, hearing of General " Stonewall" Jackson's wound, addressed him a letter, dated Chancellorsville, in which he says—" I cannot ex press my regret at the occurrence. If I could have directed events, I should have chosen, for the good of the country, to have been disabled in your stead. I congratulate you upon the victory which is due to your skill and energy." General Lee issued the following general order upon the 11th inst. :—" With deep grief the Com manding-General announces to the army the death of Lieutenant -General Jackson, who expired upon the 9th, at 3.15 p.m. The daring, skill, and energy of this great and good soldier, by a decree of an all wise Providence, are now lost to us. But while we mourn his death, we feel that his spirit lives and will inspire the whole army with his indomitable courage and unshaken confidence in God as our hope and strength. Let his name be a watchword for his corps, who have followed him to victory on so many fields. Let officers and soldiers imitate his invincible determination to do everything in the defence of our beloved country. (Signed) "R. E. LEE." General Thomas Francis Meagher has resigned the command of the Irish brigade. He says that the brigade no longer exists. The assault against Fredericksburg in December last reduced it to some thing less than a minimum regiment of infantry. General Meagher states that he has in vain memo rialised the War Department that the brigade should be temporarily relieved from duty to give it time and opportunity to renew itself. That memo rial was never acknowledged. General Meagher accompanied his brigade through the late operations at Chancelloreville, though he felt it was to a seed fice rather than to a victory that he was going. His command, which was a mere handful, did its duty. To remain in command of the remnant of the bri gade would be a public deception, in which the military reputation of a brave race would be in volved. General Meagher, however, places his ser. vices at the disposal of the Government in any c3pacity they may appoint. It is reported from Newbern that the Confede rates refuse to receive disloyal citizens sent out of the Federal lines by General Porter, unless they can give security for their ability to take care of themselves. Southern papers say that the siege of Suffolk, which was kept up three or fuur weeks, enabled General Longstreet to gather up, besides large quantities of corn, over 1,500,0001b5. of bacon. A captain of a New York regiment has been dis missed the Federal service for violating the sovereignty of a friendly State in arresting a de serter and bringing him away from within the boundaries of Canada. The deserter has also been discharged from the Federal service. It is reported that the sailing line-of-battle ships of the Federal navy ara to be examined, and those which are found sound converted into steamers. The New York Tribune asserts that General Sigel has returned from Washington, having been re fused a command by General Halleck: A call has been issued by the Fernando Wood adherents of the Mozart Democracy for a peace meeting to be held at New York in June. The efforts of the administration to restore union by force of arms are declared to have failed. Union cannot be restored by mere brute force, therefore the vigorous prosecution of peace is now urged, and while no national dismemberment, or terms not justified by every principle of honour, will be sub mitted to, yet the parties issuing the call will go very far in a spirit of conciliation and concession to restore " the Union as it was under the constitu tion as it is." Great preparations are making for a meeting of all the Loyal Leagues in New York State, to be held at Utica on the 27th inst. This meeting will urge the vigorous prosecution of the war, and ar rangements have been made that all the soldiers returned from the war shall be present. The Supreme Court of the District of Columbia has decided that no slave can be arrested and re turned to a disloyal master. The property of the late Mayor of Washington, Charles Hailoch, has been confiscated; and it is stated that the property of Mr. Corcoran, formerly a Washington banker, and now in France, will meet the same fate. The mayor and common council of Washington have arrived at New York, and presented a series of complimentary resolutions to Gen. M'Ciellan. The United States Circuit Court at Cincinnati has not yet decided whether it will grant Yellen digham an application for a writ of habeas corpus. General Burnside has sent a protest to the court saying it is his duty to stop license and intemperate discussions, which tend to weaken the authority of the government and the army. These are his rea sons for arresting Vallandigham, and for issuing order No. 38. In enforcing this order he says he can be unanimously sustained by the people or opposed by factious, bad men. In the former event quietness will prevail; in the latter event the re sponsibility of retribution will attach to the men who resist the authority, and to the neighbourhoods that allow it. Mr. Vallandigham's counsel, in urging a grant of habeas corpus, declared General Burnside's pro test to be a political speech from a general carrying a sword and wearing epaulettes. He denied the authority of a military commission, and declared it to be the duty of the court to grant the writ. NEW YORK, May 15, Evening. General Hooker has visited Washington and re turned to the Rappahannock, where all is reported quiet. Mosby's Confederate cavalry have made a forag ing expedition in the Shenandoah Valley, and are moving towards Leesburg. All is quiet at Suffolk and West Point. General Grant is endeavouring to cut the railroad between Jackson and Vicksburg. The reports of that General having fought any battles were untrue. An unreliable rumour has reached Murfreesboro' that a battle had been fought between the land and naval forces at Vicksburg, the result of which was unknown. Port Hudson is said to be garrisoned by a very small force, with heavy artillery. It is reported from Southern sources that General Kirby Smith, with 10,000 men, had defeated General Banks, and driven him from Washington, Louisiana. Tnis report is considered doubtful. Ten Federal negro regiments have been organised THE CAPE MAILS. PLYMOUTH, MAY 28. The Union Company's steamer Cambrian, with the above mail, arrived here this morning. Her dates are—Table Bay, April 20; Helena, 29; and Ascension, May 3. She brings 60 passengers, about £1,900 in specie, and a cargo consisting of 446 bales of wool, 400 bags of copper, and 150 casks of wine. The Cape Parliament was opened on April 16. The state of the Colonial finances was the prin cipal topic of the Governor's speech on the Occasion. He proposed additional revenue to the extent of £150,000 per annum to be raised by means of stamp and succession duties, increased transfer and auction dues and land tax. The policy of annexation and the union of the colonies in South Africa was still strongly urged by the Government, but any measures on the subject would be postponed for another year. The Gover nor announced that the Port Elizabeth and Graham's Town Railway, and the Mallesburg branch, and the Worcester extension of the Cape Town Railway bills would be reintroduced with additional clauses for the preparation of surveys, plans, and estimates by the Government surveyors, and to authorise contracts for the construction of the lines on account of the Government. His Excellency also recommended that before the adoption of new arrangements for the western lines, endeavours should be made to effect a transfer of the Cape Town line as soon as completed, with the view of its being worked for the benefit of the colony. He declined to recommend the extension of the guarantee of the colonial revenues to the works undertaken by the Irrigation and Investment Company, but he promised to introduce a bill to empower the Government to grant assistance to landowners wishing to improve their farms by irrigation ; the sums to be then advanced would be raised by colonial debentures. Abundant rain had fallen during the month, and agricultural prospects were good. Trade was im- proving. Bishop Tosez and party were to embark for Zambezi on the 20th April in the Orestes, which would convey to Dr. Livingstone the intelligence of the recall of his expedition.

The rumour that the Minister of Finance would :ender his resignation is unfounded. AUSTRALIAN FLOOD.—The Clarence Examiner, describing the recent great flood, says :—" We be lieve the utmost point reached by the inundation may be stated at about 24ft. above high-water mark. We need hardly point out how immense a body of water is requisite to occasion a rise of 24ft. in a river so large as the Clarence, which varies from about 600 yards to half a mile at Graf ton, with a deep channel, and which had to inundate so large a flat of country before attaining that height. Pro bably no single heavy rain would have done it, but the continued wet weather had filled up the creeks and swamps everywhere, and had saturated the earth so that when heavy rains did come at last no more could be taken up, and the whole rainfall found its way at once into the river, and ' came down with such rapidity that at Tabulam and Yates , flats the great rise only preceded by a few hours the appear ance of the same water at Grafton, a distance which former floods have taken about two days to travel. In Grafton itself the parties injured aro principally the main store keepers in Princes-street, although there are few streets in which some loss has not been sustained. In Duke -street the mere tops of cottages peeped above the water. All the farmers on the Southgate Creek, and on the rivers near to it, were washed out of their houses and fled to Southgate Station, and to Mr. Boorman's, at which place sixty people were assembled at one time. At Copmanhurst. Smith's Flat, the water rose very high, destroying a quantity of wheat; and ix some parts the corn was 60 feet under water, a large portion of which is not yet visible. All along the river the destruction of farm produce and furniture is pitiful to see. Some of the ripe coin may recover, but the green crops cannot, and there are parts where all is cut away together by timber and ty the rush of water. Tabulam ap pears to have suffered most severely. By a messenger who arrived in Grafton on Friday we ascertain the melancholy loss of four men there. The water made a sudden rush on Saturday, which carried away eeven loaded drays with their teams, drowning the unfortunate men and destroying the property. Mr. D. M'Lcan swam with Graham's boy on his back for half a mile. The post office at Tabulam and all the letters for the Clarence were carried away. Constable Foy had previously removed his wife and family and returned to the Courthouse. Young Jordan afterwards made an at tempt to assist him, but failed. Foy appears to have perfectly made up his mind to be lost, and to have met his fate with much firmness. He stated that be could not swim, and he knew nothing could save him. For half an hour before he was swept away he was seen on his knees as if pray was the awayn fevreormthe exchanged topo f haiswhoroduswe.ithThtheewmb. ing, a n d a l though within speaking distance of those on ole H C e ou w r a t- s Sunday, house, const a bl e ' s residence, end lock-up are destroyed.

The Richmond papf.,rs state that the Federals were unusually active at Charleston. General Jackson's funeral took place at Rich mond o❑ the 12th, with great demonstrations of sorrow and respect. The Richmond Whig says that since the death of Washington no similar event has so profoundly and sorrowfully impressed the people ' of Virginia as General Jackson's decease. The leading republican journals unite with the democratic organs in condemning General Burn side's action in Mr. Vallandigham'k case. The City of Cork has arrived out.

REPRESENTATION OF THE CITY, Last night a public meeting of the electors of the City of London was held in the White Hart Hotel, Bislaopsgate-street, for the purpose of hearing an address from Mr. G. J. Goschen, the Liberal candi date for the representation of the City. The chair was filled by Mr. K. D. Hodgson, M.P., the Gover nor of the Bank of England, and the meeting was very numerously attended, The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proeeedings, alluded in feeling terms to the death of the late Mr. Wood, whose loss they must deeply deplore, and he afterwards introduced Mr. J. S. Goschen to the meeting as a candidate for the vacant seat' in the representation of the City. Two objections had been taken to his return. The first was that his name had a foreign sound, and the second that he was too young to be sent to Parliament. As to the first he (the chairman) would say that the father of Mr. Goschen was a naturalised Englishman, that Mr. Goschen was born and bred an Englishman, and that his mother had always been an English woman. (Laughter.) He could assure the elec tors that if they sent him to the House of Com mons they would find in him a thorough English Liberal member. (Cheers.) As to the second ob jection, he might state that Mr. Goschen was now 34 years of age, that he had been the favourite pupil of one of the greatest men of the day, and that his abilities in every point would do honour to any constituency that might choose to elect him. (Loud cheers.) Mr. GOSCHEN then addressed the meeting, and was most favourably •received. He said that although it must be difficult under ordinary cir cumstances for a man to address an audience for the first time, yet it became especially difficult to do so when one had no reputation nor antecedents to fall back upon. .1'; however, anything could make his task an easy one, the language so kindly used towards him by the chairman would cer tainly produce that result. (Hear, hear.) He then asked the meeting to give him a pa tient and attentive hearing, and he would endeavour to tell them honestly and faithfully what his poli tical opinions were. These opinions had not been formed for to-day, bat he believed that his opinion. were in unison with those of the general body of the electors of the City. (Cheers.) He would not promise them that he would vote upon all occasions just as they wished, but this he would say, that at heart he was a Liberal in the true sense of the word. (Applause.) He himself did not hold the fashionable doctrine of Liberal Conse rvatism —(hear)—for he believed that that doctrine had been a great injury to the Liberal cause. (Hear.) There were many men professed Liberals who voted for Liberal mea sures just because they could not avoid doing so, but this half-and-half voting was not in accordance with his own views. As to the foreign policy of the coun try they found that disagreements arose in conse quence of the division of opinion to which he had referred, and especially with respect to the question of Italian liberty the cloven foot had shown itself, the Conservatives having shown themselves adverse to the opinion shared in by the supporters of Lord Palmerston. He would tell the meeting that if he was returned as their representative his support would be given to Lord Palmerston's foreign policy, believing that it was founded upon Liberal senti ments. (Cheers.) Turning to the question of home policy, and especially to the question of reform, be would say, in the words of his address, that he be lieved the people of England could be trusted with some degree of confidence. (Cneers.) Therefore, he said, they ought to extend the franchise to those people who were entitled to it by the progress of education and self-control. (Cheers.) He did not say that they should extend the franchise without consideration, but that they should give it to those who showed themselves capable of exercising it judiciously. The power of England was strengthened the more they took the people into their confidence. With respect to the question of church rates, he thought it was not right that those who differed with the Church should be called upon to support it; and therefore he was for the entire abolition of church rates, and the sooner the question was settled the better for all parties. (Cheers.) Mr. Goschen further expressed hihaself favourable to the adoption of the vote by ballot ; and with respect to muncipal self-government, he said that if he was returned to Parliament as the representative of the City, he should do all in his power to protect the municipal government of the City. (Applause.) He should, if elected, feel the great responsibility of his position, but he should go to Parliament with out any timidity if he knew h o had the support of the Liberal party, and that his views were shared in by a majority of the electors. (Loud applause.) Dr. ABRAHAM moved and Mr. RICHARDSON seconded a resolution expressing entire approval in Mr. Goschen, and pledging the meeting to use every endeavour to secure his return as one of the repre sentatives of the City in Parliament, which was unanimously agreed to. The meeting closed with the customary vote of thanks to the chairman. SUMMARY OF AMERICAN NEWS.—The judicious Hooher has judiciously hooked it.—Punch. A 'familiar legend is related by the Saturday Review, of the gownsman, whose sense of the ludi crous so far prevailed over his indignation at the I,ss of his tea that he determined to play the marauder (hi s laundress or bedmaker) a trick. He bought two half pounds of tea, and, lockiag up one, from which he helped himself, he left the other open, to which his bedmaker helped herself. 01 course sbe got through her share much. the quicker of the two. Upon which, one fine morning, he pulled out the remains of his half-pound of tea, and with infinite good-humour, and in a to ne o f gent l e astonishment and reproach, he said :—" Now rea ll y , M rs.

SIGNOR MARIO has recently been delighting hi° audiences, says the Reader, is the " Barbiere." on one night, when his voice is weak and husky, he seems as if he could have but a few months more of vocal life, on another his tone is (comparatively) so clear and so rich as entirely to defy any such suggestion. Listening to hire the other evening, in his favourite part, one felt as if never could a male larynx have produced tones more enchanting. Here and there will be noticed a failure of power, seeming to indicate the wreck of a noble voice; but anon there will come some trait of perfect vocalization, some exquisitelf refined cadence, which atones for a thousand shortcomings' The quantity of rags and paper imported int o this country during recent years is as follows : Rags. aper. 1856 .... 10,287 cwt 1857 .... 12,206 „ 1858 .... 11,394 „ , 01 „ 1859 .... 14,621 „ 1860 .... 16,154 „ 18 „ 18 61 20,486 „ 1862 23,943 „ Our exports of paper during the last five years were-- 1 1 1858, 106,557 cwt; i n 1859 , 126 , 454 cwt ; in 1860, 11 2,61' cwt; in 1861, 91,958 cwt; and in 1862, 129,440 cwt.

In health; when the oxydation of all the organs of the body is perfect? the picture formed on the retina is absorbed, o r perhaps it were better t o say, i s transmitted instantly to the brain, where we may almost regard it as photographed again. When, from any circumstance, the oxydation or nutrition, or, in other words, the molecular motion of the retina /0 impeded, then the image is not immediately transmittedf but is held, as it were, on the s urface for a time—gradually fading away.
