AMERICA. LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY. The royal mail steamship Scotia, Captain Jud kins, from New York on the Ist inst., arrived in the Mersey yesterday morning, bringing 200 passengers and 160,000 dols. in specie. The following, from the correspondent of the .New fork 7inzes , is the " very latest " from the army of the Potumac, previous to the departure of the Scotia:— " Head•quarters, Army of the Potomac, June 30 (Evening), 8 p.m. " I am just in from the front, and send by a mes senger to Frederick a brief despatch of the occur; rences of yesterday and to-day. The rebel force which made the raid on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad consisted of Stuart's whole force, with eight pieces of artillery. On Monday night they arrived at Westminster, and interrupted the Western Mary land railroad, and threw out strong pickets, and shot two citizens who attempted to eseape and give us information. Early this morning General Gregg attacked Stuart, and drove him all the way from Westminster to Hanover, Pennsylvania, a distance of eighteen milet. During the forenoon Generals Kilpatrick and Caster drove Stuart out of Hanover after a splendid fight, and they are still pursuing him ; part of his force going toward Gettysburg and part toward York. During the day General Burford drove a regiment of rebel infantry out of Gettysburg, who also retired in a north-easterly direction. You may expect to hear of brilliant news. The whole army is in splendid spiritb. The rebels are reported to have burned Cashtown, Penn., yesterday. It is between Gettysburg and Cham bersburg." On the 28th of June Colonel Hardie arrived at the head-quarters of the army of the Potomac by special train from Washington, bearing despatches relieving General Hooker from the command of the army of the Potomac, and appointing Major-Gene rai Meade, commanding the sth corps, his successor. Soon after the reception of the orders at head-quar ters, General Hooker issued the following farewell address: " Headquarters, Army of the Potomac, Frede ricksburg, Maryland, June 28. " In conformity with the orders of the War De partment, dated June 27, I re!inquished the com mand of the army of the Potomac. It is transferred to Major-General George G, Meade, a brave and accomplished officer, who has nobly earned the con fidence and esteem of the army on many a well fought field. Impressed with the belief that my usefulness as the commander of the army of the Potomac is impaired, I part from it, yet not without the deepest emotion. The sorrow of parting with the army of so many battles is relieved by the con viction that the courage and devotion of this army will not cease nor fail ; that it will yield to my suc cessor, as it has to me, a willing and hearty support. With the earnest prayer that the triumph of its arms may bring successes worthy of it and the nation, I bid it farewell. " JOSEPH HOOKER, Major-General. " s. F. Barstow, Acting Adjutant-General." The following is the address of General Meade on taking command of the army of the Potomac:— " Headquarters, Army of the Potomac, June 28. " By direction of the President of the United States, I hereby assume the command of the army of the Potomac. As a soldier, in obeying this order —an order totally unexpected and unsolicited—l have no promises or pledges to make. The country looks to this army to relieve it from the devastation and disgrace of a hostile invasion. Whatever fatigues and sacrifices we may be called upon to undergo, let us have in view constantly the magni tude of the interests involved, and let each man determine to do his duty, leaving to an all•con trolling Providence the decision of the contest. It is with just diffidence that I relieve in the command of this army an eminent and accomplished soldier, whose name must ever appear conspicuous in the history of his achievements, but I rely upon the hearty support of my companions in arms to assist me in the discharge of the duties of the important trust which has been confided to me. " GEORGE G. MEADE, Major-General Commanding. "S. F. Barstow, Assistant Adjutant-General." The New York Herald, of the Ist of July, ex plains the cause of General Hooker's removal : " Maryland Heights, June 28. "We were visited here yesterday by Major- General Hooker, accompanied by Brigadier-General Warren. The object of the Commanding-General's ride from Poolesville, Monocacy, Frederick, or somewhere thereabouts, was to inquire into the propriety of evacuating the heights. He sent for Colonel Reynolds, our able engineer, and asked him what the object was in holding the heights ? The colonel replied that he had often asked the same question, and never got a satisfactory answer. General Hooker then issued an order that the place should be evacuated by seven o'clock next morning. That such guns as could not be taken away should be destroyed, and the stores removed. Immediately after he informed General Halleck of what he had done, whereupon he received a despatch in reply, countermanding the order, and saying that the for tifications had cost too much to be given up, unless under the most urgent necessity. He considered Harper's Ferry to be the key to the present and future operations of the army of the Potoma c . General Hooker's comment upon this was natural enough, " What is the use of holding on to the key after the door is smashed ?" Another order of General Hooker's was treated with the same want of respect by General Halleck. General Hooker felt terribly mortified. While on his way back from here, atter a visit of a couple of hours, he received an order from Washington removing him from the command, a nd placing Major-General Meade in his stead." The New York Times of the Ist inst. says : " The rebels no longer menace Harrisburg. The army of the Potomac, under its new commander, General Meade, was in rapid motion on Monday and yesterday. Its progress on Monday was such as to relieve the line of the Baltimore and Ohio rail road from rebel cavalry, and to restore telegraphic communication with Frederick. What its progress yesterday was will be best indicated by the charac ter of the advises to be received today, which will probably be of the most important character. A despatch from Harrisburg expresses the belief entertained by the authorities there that Lee was yesterday engaged in concentrating his forces on the line of the Cumberland Valley Rail road, between Shippensburg and Chambersburg, in anticipation of an attack by the army of the Potomac. Ewell's corps, however, was still in front of Harrisburg until last evening, when it retreated, and is known to have gone beyond Carlisle, A rebel infantry force was seen yesterday morning about 14 miles from Harrisburg moving towards the city, but nothing was subsequently heard from it. The following proclamation has been issued by the Mayor of Philadelphia : " Citizens of Philadelphia—One more appeal is made to you in the name of duty and of manhood. You can close your eyes no longer to the startling danger and disgrace which hangs over your State and city. The foot of the rebel is already at your capital, and unless you arouse to instant action it may in a few days hence cross your own thres holds. There is yet time to prepare for defence. You number more than fifty thousand able-bodied men ; the means to arm and equip yourselves are at hand. Close your many factories, workshops, and stores before the stern necessity of common safety makes it obligatory. Assemble yourselves forthwith for organisation and drill. Come z eady co devote yourselves to the protection of your homes until your services shall be no longer needed. Spurn from you those who would delude you to inactivity or disaffection. Their tongues and hearts are more false and hateful than even ihe invaders of your soil. Let no one refuse to arm who will not be able to justify himself before man and God, in sight of a desolated hearth, or a dishonoured family. " ALEXANDER HENRY, Mayor of Philadelphia." Gen. Ewell has issued an order to his troops at Chambersburg, prohibiting all irregularities, any stating that all the supplicz which may be acces nary will be taken in the usual regular manner. The following is the order : " Head-quarters, 2d Corps, Army o Northern Virginia, June 22. "In moving in the enemy's country ho utmost circumspection and vigilance are nec ry ; and the 'safety of the army, and the success of he great ob ject it has to accomplish, depend upon the observ ance of the most rigid discipline. " The lieutenant-general commanding, therefore, must earnestly appeal to the gallant officers and men of his command, who have attested their bravery and devotion to the cause of their country on so many fields, to yield a ready acquiescence in the rules required by the exigencies of the case. All straggling and wandering from the ranks, and all marauding and plundering by individuals, are pro hibited upon pain of the severest penalties known to the service. What is required for the use of the army will bo taken under regulations to be estab lished by the commanding general, according to the usages of civilised warfare.—By command of Lieu tenant • General B. S. Ewell, " A. S. PENDLETON, A.A.G." General Ewell has also published the following general order : " Headquarters, 2 d corps , J une 13. " The Lieutenant-General Command in g asks the men and officers of the corps to unite with him in returning thanks to our Heav enl y Father for the signal success with which he has crowned the valour of this command. In acknowledgment of divine favour, chaplains will hold religious services in their at such times as may be most c r o es n p v e e c n t i i e v n e regiments, e Wit e h n w t Onderfully small loss—less than 300 killed, wounded, and missing—we have carried strong works, defended by an abundance of supe rior artillery, capturing over 3,000 prisoners, and large quantities of military stores and supplies. Such a result should strengthen the reli ance i n t h e r ighteousness of our cause, which has inspir e d every effort of our troops.—By command of Lieutenant- General R. S. Ewell, " A. S. PENDLETON, A.A.G." A despatch from Columbia, Pennsylvania, states that the rebel forces had ail left York, and were supposed to be moving towards Harrisburg; but it is probable that they were only obeying Lee's call for concentration to meet the army of the Potomac. It was reported that General Pleasanton's outer cavalry pickets had been seen within four miles of York, and this may have had something to do with the hurried rebel movement. The force at York is now said to have numbered but 8,000, with 18 pieces of artillery. The following is the proclamation of Ger.eral Earley to the people of York:-- " York, June 30. "To the Citizens of York—l have abstained from burn ing the railroad buildings and car shop in your town, be cause, after examination, I am satisfied the safety of the town would be endangered ; and acting in the spirit of humanity which has ever characterised my Government and its military authorities, I do not desire to involve the innocent in the same punishment with the guilty. Had I applied the torch without regard to consequences, I would then have pursued a course that would have been fully vin dicated as an act of just retaliation for the authorised acts of barbarity perpetrated by your own army on our soil; but we do not war upon women and children, and I trust the treatment you have met with at the hands of my soldiers will open your eyes to the odious tyranny under which it is apparent to all you are yourselves groaning. "J. A. EARLEY, Major-General C.S.A." The special correspondent of the New York Tri bune describes the intense excitement and alarm prevailing in Baltimore consequent on a reported advance of Gen. Stuart's forces on that city : " Baltimore, June 30. "At about the hour of ten last night a report reached Gen. Schenck's head quarters to the effect that the whole of the rebel Gen. Stuart's cavalry were advancing on the city from the direction of Westminster. Having seen a lieute nant early in the evening whose detachment of 150 men had been attacked on the road to that place by about 300 of the enemy, 15 only of our men escaping, I judge the report to be wildly exaggerated, and attribute the rumour to the nearer approach of this band, probably bound on a recon naissance. Immediately the news spread as if by electri city through the city. Orders were at once issued for the citiacns to hold themselves in readiness to defend the barricades. Large crowds gathered at the hotels, and at the Eutaw House word was passed round among them where they could find arms with which to resist the in vaders. At Barnum's, the Maltby House, and other places where Union sentiment is below par, less excitement prevailed, and the countenances observable in the groups who lingered around those delectable resorts were for the most part wreathed in smiles of pleasant anticipation, At five minutes before eleven the alarm bells commenced to ring. The firemen of the city, mistaking this for an alarm of fire, and misled by the continued ringing, ran in all di rections in search of the burning building, adding to the general excitement by their haste and loud cries of "Fire ?" In addition to this, orderlies galloped here and there through the street, bearing messages from one part of the city to another; the residents, men, women, and children began to throng and block up the thoroughfares; the cars were obliged to stop running; rockets were sent into the air from different signal stations; Union men rushed to the places where muskets were kept, and the work of arming com menced. Each man loaded his piece the moment he took it in hand, and what with the snapping of caps and the occa sional discharge of a gun from some one of the windows, by way of guiding the members of the different leagues to the spot, the noise and tumult increased momentarily. Falling into the ranks of one of the many squares going to the defence of the barricades, I marched with them as far as Eutaw and Madison-streets, and then discovered the 21st New York Militia drawn up in line. All this time the alarm bells continued ringing, and the firemen, discovering their mistake, shouldered the musket, and swelled the num ber of armed men, already large. The excitement continued unabated up to about 10 o'clock, when a fine rain commenced —and at the present writing I look from my window upon a deserted street, where only now and then the clatter of horses' hoofs breaks the profound stillness of night. Thus ends for the present a very considerable scare. Martial law was proclaimed in Baltimore on June 30. The city is now considered in a perfect state of defence, the fortifications all having been completed. The Baltimore Amerzcan contains the following : " Headquarters, Middle Department, Eighth Army Corps, Baltimore, June 30. " The immediate presence of a rebel army within this department, and in the State of Maryland, requires, as a military necessity, a resort to all the proper and usual means of defence and security. This security is to be provided against known hostilities and opposition to the lawful and national Government from every quarter and in every form. Traitors and disaffected persons within must be restrained, and made to contribute to the common safety, while the enemy in front is to be met and punished for his bold in vasion. Martial law is therefore declared, and hereby estab lished, in the city and county of Baltimore, and in all the counties of the western shore of Maryland. The command ing general gives assurances that this suspension of the civil government within the limits defined shall not extend beyond the necessities of the occasion. All the civil courts, tribunals, and political functionaries of state, county, or city authority are to continue in the discharge of their duties interfering with h onplyowinernao way and exert e d by to exercise as in timeo predominant of peace , the military authority. Al l p e aceful citizens a re requested to remain quietly at their homes and in the pursuit o f t h e i r ordinary avocations, except as they may be possibly subject to calls for personal services or other necessary requisitions for military purposes or uses hereafter. All seditious lan guage or mischievous practices tending to the encourage ment of rebellion are especially prohibited, and will promptly be made the subject of observation and treatment. Traitor ous and dangerous persons must expect to be dealt with as tho public safety may seem to require. To save the country When is paramount to oth er cons id era ti ons . for this proclamation p asses by, no one will be the occasion more rejoiced than the commanding general that he can revoke his order and return to the normal condition of a country at peace and a Government sustained by a united and loyal people. "ROBERT C. SCHENCK, "Major-General Commanding." Martial law having been declared in Baltimore, the following orders have been issued by General Shenck Until further orders, no arms or ammunition shall be sold by any dealer or other persons within the city and county of Baltimore without a permit from the general commanding the military department. Until further orders, no person will be permitted to leave the city of Bal timore without a pass properly signed by the provost-mar shal, and any one attempting to violate this order shall be promptly arrested, and brought before the provost marshal for examination. Until further orders, no ono will be per mitted to pass the barricades, or into or out of the city, be tween the hours of 10 p.m. and 4 a.m. without giving a proper countersign to the guard in charge. Until further orders, no club-house or other place of like resort shall re main open without permission given by the general-com, manding. All bars, coffee-houses, drinking saloons, and other places of like resort, shall be closed between the hours of 8 p.m. and 6 a.m. Until further orders, the general commanding directs that the stores, shops, manufactories, and other places of business, other than apothecaries' shops and printing offices of daily journals. be closed at 5 p.m. for tha purpose of giving the patriotic citizens an opportu nity to drill and raake themselves expert in the use of arms. The Baltimore Club House was on Monday, July T.H. SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, 4 JULY 13, 1863 , 29, taken possession of by Gen. Schenck, for rea sons detailed in the following order:— " Headquarters Middle Department, Eighth Army Corps, Baltimore, June 27. " Special Order.--There is an association existing in the City of Baltimore known as the ' Maryland Club.' The meetings of this body, and of those who frequent its rooms, or are entertained by its members, take place at a building on the corner of Franklin and Charles streets. Departing from the original character and purposes of its institution, this club has for a long time past degenerated into a resort for those who are disaffected toward the Government. hos tile to its legally constituted authorities, and who give countenance, encouragement, and aid to the unnatural and causeless rebellion by which our institutions and national integrity are sought to be overthrown. So dangerous and mischievous an association cannot be permitted longer to maintain this attitude in a loyal community. The Mary land Club' is therefore suspended, and its house of meeting taken possession of and closed. In the execution of the order, the names of all persons found in the building, and of all who belong to the association, and of all who habitually frequent it, will be taken, and an inventory will be made of the property and records or papers of the association, and the same held subject to future orders. "By command of Major-General SCHE.NCK. " Don Platt, Lieut.-Colonel and Chief of Staff." The following order has been issued by Genera Banks at Port Hudsor " Headquarters, Department of the Gull', 19th Army Corps, before Port lludson, June 15. " The Commanding-General congratulates the troops before Port Hudson upon the steady advance made upon the enemy's works, and is confident of an immediate and triumphant issue of the contest. We are at all points upon the threshold of his fortifications. One more advance, and they are ours. For the last duty that victory imposes, the Commanding-General summonses the fieldraen of the corps to the organisation of a storming column of 1,000 men, to vindicate the flag of the Union and the memory of its de fenders who have fallen. Let them come forward. Officers who lead the column of victory in the last assault may be assured of just recognition of their services by promotion; and every officer and soldier who shares its perils and its glory shall receive a medal fit to commemorate the first grand success of the campaign of 1863 for the freedom of the Mississippi. His name shall be placed in general orders upon the roll of honour. Division commanders will at once report the names of the officers and men who may volunteer for this service, in order that the organisation of the column may be completed without delay.

At the cannot f f w or hat th i e s courageous and devoted men who have been killed, wounded, or, if not wounded in a physical sense, utterly disheartened by the result of the Galli cian invasion, that this attempt to bring a rising about in a province where it was next to im possible was utterly unjustifiable. The Poles would have undoubtedly a right to try and get back their ancient provinces by force from the Russians it' they had any chance of succeeding in such an en deavour. But the chances of success were not sim ply more or less against them; it was a positive certainty that they would fail, and fail in the most disastrous manner. If they had taken Radziwilow they could not have held it. If they had marched into the interior they would soon have been sur rounded and cut to pieces. If, before coming to that inevitable end, they had got a number of Polish proprietors to join them, then the peasants would have been let loose, and we should have heard of fresh massacres and of emancipated Ruthenian serfs proving their love for Poland by flaying and cut ting ont a the eyes of Poles. Even if Volhynia had been eager for insurrection, whereas, as far as I can learn from the statements of half-a-dozen proprietors from different parts of the province, the general wish was that it should be let alone, and be allowed to limit its part in the Polish movement to paying a very large portion of the exeenses—even then the men who were sent into Volhynia were, taking them altogether, quite unfit for the difficult and dangerous work assigned to them, and any man with eyes could have seen at a glance that many of them were fit for nothing in the world. "I thought," said one of Wysocki's captains to me, when I went to see him in the hospital at Brody, where he is lying with a bullet in-his leg, "I thought I should have found the same sort of men fighting here that I found in Hungary when I was in the Polish Legion. It was too bad to give me such rubbish to command." " If you could have seen your men beforehand," I inquired, " would you have left England and your wife and family to take charge of such soldiers ?" "Of course not," he replied. "It is no use try ing to lead men who cannot be got to follow. I was not merely disappointed, bat disgusted, when I saw what material I had to deal with." " What class of men had you in your company P" I continued. " Do you think I could call them vaga- bonds ?" " Well, they were covered with lice, and were the sort of persons that you might find in swarms for any sort of work in Whitechapel. I should think ' vagabonds' just the word for them." "And how long did they remain under fire ?" I asked. " Only for a few minutes. I was hit about 20 minutes after the battle had begun, and already half my company had got away. I had only 40 men left. I believe they all wandered into the woods and dispersed as soon as I was carried to the rear. People will be abusing the General," he went on to say, " but he did his best, and the officers did their best to support him. The first and fourth com panies were the only ones that did any real fighting. The others had so many bad men among them that, taken altogether, they were quite worthless." Another distinguished officer, who had fought in all the great Italian battles, from Novara to Solfe rino, and who t r i e d t o th e last to persuade himself that the men h e h a d t o l e ad to the invasion of Vol hynia might t urn out fi rs t-rate soldiers, said to me rather sadly a few minutes before cr ossin g the fron tier—" This does not remind me much of the Italian War of Independence, with the Borromei and the members of all the greatest families in the country serving in the ranks. However, I must do what I can"—and he certainly did what he could, and what it is lather difficult, at first few other m e n would have been able to do.

Between the Galician rabble who betrayed their officers before Radziwilow, and who now accuse Gen. Wysocki of having betrayed them, and the 12 Lithuanian gen tlemen who supported the wounded Narbatt in front of the battle until he and they were shot down, there is just the difference which exists between baseness and heroism of the Lithuanians in general. No one says that the Galicians are bound to endea vour to drive the Russians out of Volhynia : but if should they make the attempt they make it in a becoming manner, and, for the sake of the men w h o mean to fight, abstain from sending as their sup porters men who are not likely to do anything but run away. To aim at e xciting an insurrection in Volhynia in any manner was, however, about as kind an action to the Polish inhabitants of those provinces as it would be to a child oppressed by a , giant to excite him to rise against his oppressor. back at the cattl e fair of Pizany (Charente).

SATURDAY REVIEW.—About May or June, if country cousins are to be believed, a distressing ail men t makes its appearance among the select, throng which calls inself the fashionable world of London. The delicate mechanism of the human eye under goes a periodical derangement. What may be the precise nature and seat of this ocular malady we must leave the faculty to determine. The symptoms, to a casual observer, resemble those of intermittent ophthalmia, or, perhaps, still more, those of colour blindness. For want of a more technical term, let us call it person-blindness. The retina on 'which all external forms and shapes are usually imprinted with equal distinctness becomes suddenly incapaci tated for reflecting a whole class of persons. Sup pose, for instance, that a male patient, young and handsome, and exquisitely gloved and boated, is taking a canter down Rotten-row, or lounging over the rails where Privilege, inclining itself at an obtuse angle, pays an easy afternoon homage to its fair friends. The chief features of the surround ing scenery will remain unmistakably visible to him. Neither the Duke's statue, nor Gibraltar, nor the Serpentine, is clouded by a temporary eclipse. Nor is the sufferer's power of recogising certain persons impaired. He can discern at a glance the reigning beauty of the day, as she flashes by in her well-appointed barouche. He can single out of the well-dressed crowd his own fashionable associates. But only let his eye light on some countenance, glowingwith a fresh colour,and redolent of buttercups and hay fields, and all becomes a blank. There is a sudden collapse of the visual organs. The eye which just now sparkled with intelligence has lost all speculation, and kindles with none of the tokens of recognition So thick a drop serene hath quenched its orbs, Or dim suffusion veiled. Probably that countenance belonged to some nice gushing young lady with whom he has danced and flirted at a county ball, or to some good fellow with whom he has ridden, and cricketed, and sung comic songs, but whose notions on dress are yet in their infancy. In either case, it will become suffused with a flush of mortification at being so coolly ignored. It is never pleasant to be reminded of one's own in significance, whether by the crushing sublimity of an Alpine solitude or the equally crushing subli mity of a London dandy—particularly when, within a certain radius a hundred miles from Hyde Park Corner, you are endowed with a personality which cannot be overlooked. The English country parish is usually a sort of miniature Japan, with its lay emperor, the squire, and its spiritual emperor, the rector, and to belong to the family of either mag nate, the!parochial Tycoon or Mikado, is apt to breed in the mind a self-important habit of thinking. The young yeople from the Hall or Rectory feel, there fore, peculiar disgust when their cousin in the Guards or Circumlocution Office passes them in the Park with the seine impassive stare with which he surveys the monkeys in the Zoological Gardens. They feel, also, a stinging consciousness of look ing very foolish ; for at sight of the well-known features they have probably been betrayed into a smile, or gesture of recognition, which fails to elicit any response. It is always bad economy to waste one's sweetness on the desert air, but there is something particularly aggravating in being de tected nodding into infinite space. SPECTATOR. —The origin of the Kensington job, of the Horticultural Gardens, of recent fetes, of the plan for a West -end Cremorne, and of the much larger ideas which are to be " developed according to the assistance received from the public," is the Commission of 1851. That body, having the assist ance of the Prince Consort, whose name is now used so incessantly by men without a tithe either of his ability or his moderation, was as successful as the Commission of 1862 has been the reverse. They made money fast, and they used it shrewdly. Their profit on the Exhibition amounted to some £lBO,OOO, and, aided by Government with a grant of £175,000 more, and compulsory powers of pur chase, they laid hands on a tract of land which proved an excellent investment. So rapidly has its value risen that, after selling the site of the South Kensington Museum for £40,000 below its value, and the building site for £140,000 under the price obtainable for the fee simple—which the country, however, has not obtained—tbev are, by Mr. Lowe's confession, in possession of £300,000 more, and a reversionary right to the Horticultural Gardens, worth, should they ever be abandoned, at least as much again. There are twenty-two acres of them, saleable at least at £15,000 an acre after all en cumbrances are cleared off. Those figures imply an immense success, and it is simply ridiculous to abuse the Commission for a display of business faculty which, in an individual or a body owning estates, would be considered worthy of all com mendation. Bishop Blomfield has been praised to the skies for management less supremely successful, and when Mr. Gladstone men tioned that the Governors of Bartholomew's added 15 per cent. annually to the value of their estates, country gentlemen listened with faces glistening with awe and envy. But the possession of this large sum has tempted the Commission to assume a position in which they have become as great a nui sance as if they had been an ancient charitable trust. The money cannot be divided, or applied to the National Debt, or left idle, or even—to the credit of the Commission be it spoken—eaten up in dinners. It must, unless Parliament otherwise decide —and that by Act, not resolution—be applied to purposes connected with science and art ; and so the Commission, conscious of funds, and egged on by peop'e who are most of them sincere alike in their wish to propagate Taste and to live by the new evangel they preach, have set themselves up as a kind of quasi -official department devoted to the furtherance of projects which are sometimes genuine plans, and sometimes only jobs. The Kensington Museum is of the former kind. It is an excellent collection, which may be made better, which has been lodged in a bad but large and inexpensive building, and which is very fairly attended by the People, whose trustees the Commissioners are. If Museums are useful at all, as the experience of civilised men seems to prove, the abuse poured on that particular Museum is absurd. The Horticul tural Gardens, on the other hand, are, we fear, of the latter and baser sort. The garden is a wretched Sahara of a place, as bare as Kensa:-green, too near the London smoke, and entirely useless to the people, whose rights have been acknowledged to the gratis admi ss i on t o th e Museum. The money carne partly from sixpences, partly from a Parlia mentary grant, and both considerations ougni . t to have prevent e d the greed and exclusiveness from which the managers cannot be exonerated. LONDON REVIEW.-111r. Roebuck is as good a sensation member as could readily be found. The daring defiance he addresses to the universe at large, his boldly avowed determination never to be a slave, his wild contempt for all rivals, and the com placency with which from time to time—having executed some feat more wonderful than the rest — he challenges the applause of the gods in the gal lery, would make his fortune in any circus. There is a lady, in circles which cannot with decorum be described, who is notorious for producing sensations of the kind. At one moment she is in England, at another in America, at a third she has been drink ing the waters at Vichy, or hunting the boar at Fontainebleau. Mr. Roebuck's universality, his de termination to keep pace with more steady and matron-like politicians, his variety of adventure, his love of making desperate dashes at Emperors, his noise, his volubility, his tongue, and a kind of " pork-pie" raciness that accompanies him wherever he goes, show that he is not ignorant of the lessons to be learnt from what he sees around him. He is the sensation member par excellence. He canters daily down the House of Commons' floor as if it were Rotten-row at the fashionable hour, and sur rounded by fashionable celebrities. He goes down occasionally to his constituency, and electrifies them with the thunders of his eloquence, just as if he were a quiet and steady country gentleman. He is on the pier at Southampton when the Austrian Archduke lands. He is" Tear-'em" at Sheffield one year. He is the champion of Southern chivalry, with Mr. Beresford Hope and the rest of the gay world, the next. But this summer he has outdone himself—for, unasked and unbidden, he has tra• veiled off and presented himself to the French Em peror at Fontainebleau. The sensation this extra ordinary escapade has produced among the admiring audience before whom he per forms may more readily be imagined than described. A raid of this kind up on the political virtue of a tyrant is an exploit borrowed obviously from the annals of femine adventure. It has com pletely eclipsed all other performers. Nobody cares anything now about Mr. Kinglake's "Crimean War," or Mr. Laird's shipb u ildi ng, or Col, Crawley, or Mr. Bernal Osborne a n d th e Irish Church ; since Mr. Roebuck has com e b ac k f rom the other side of the Channel. The House of Commons has been talking of nothing else, and the honourable gentleman who represents Sheffield has it all hitl own way. So tremendous an effect has he produced by the exploit of alighting from Paris in a bound upon one leg upon the floor of the house, that the French Empe ror has been obliged to take notice of it in the Moni!eur. His Majesty Napoleon 111. is quite anxious lest the House of Commons should be taken in, and begin to fancy that Tear-'em has really been sent from Paris to Westminster upon a political mission, or that henceforward all communications for the Emperor are to be addressed, " Care of Mr. Roebuck." Those who are acquainted with the stern eye that the Sheffield Foreign Affairs Com mittee keep upon the doings of the Continent know better. " Heaven bless you, sir," the usher says to the strangers in the Speaker's gallery ; " it is only Mr. Roebuck and the last sensation arrival." There CV, be no doubt that Mr, Roebuck's Ray of enter- ing the house with a bound and a war-whoop is calculated to strike and to fascinate all lookers on. The American Minister has not yet got over the awful shock he experienced on hearing from Mr. Roebuck that the North were the " scum of Eu rope." Before he has half recovered, here is his e nemy again. The unhappy Gen. Storks, who re ceived a knock-down blow tue other night, and learnt to his infinite dismay and astonishment that he " was an ill-conditioned soldier," has not the satisfaction of feeling that his assailant exhausted himself in the attack. He is up and doing once more ; ho has been to France, and has come back as vigorous as ever. The very misconcep tions and misconstructions to which his flying tour have given rise increase his glory and his fame. It is not everybody who has it in his power to compromise an Emperor. But Mr. Roebuck, who has been all through, as we may see at a glance, the real actor, and who has led Mr. Lindsay, probably, captive in his train from first to last—has succeeded in doing this. He has created a scandal in the very highest circles,—Barou Gros and the other constituted authorities whom his fascinations have made desolate, are eyeing him with horror and surprise. So rare a triumph has seldom been ac corded to the most accomplished political coquette. ATHENXU3I.—The ancient metropolitan institu tion of Bethlehem Hospital, founded on its original trusts more than six hundred years ago, will soon share the fate of similar establishments which have suffered from the growth of London. It has for many years been the opinion of the Lunacy Board that the site of the hospital, as respects its limited extent, and situation in the centre of a dense and rapidly increasing population, is unsuited to the treatment of the insane. Out-door exercise and recreation, and freedom from disturbance and obser vation, so indispensable in cases of insanity, require an ample extent of grounds and gardens within the boundaries of the institution. In all these re spects Bethlehem Hospital is essentially defective. In addition to this, the building is imperfect, ac cording to modern opinions, in its construction and arrangements. The general aspect of the hospital, externally and internally, notwithstanding the efforts made within the last few years to enliven the long corridors and day-rooms, cannot but exercise a depressing influence upon the inmates, whose means of out-door exercise are so limited and inadequate. The Lunacy Commissioners state that in the case of asylums for pauper lunatics, they would not now sanction plans upon the principle of the pre sent building. In representing these facts to Sir George Grey, the Commissioners add that the large funds at the disposal of the Governors confer upon them almost unprecedented means of improv ing the care and treatment of the insane, and conse quently impose upon them, in an especial manner. the duty and responsibility of applying these funds in the manner best calculated to promote and ex tend the objects and benefits of the institution, which cannot be done upon the present site. Within the last few days, Sir George Grey has expressed his concurrence in the views of the Cominissioners, and his hope that the Governors will not allow the opportunity now offered of removing the hospital to a suitable locality to escape. LITERARY TlMES.—Beyond all question, the greatest curiosity of the daily press is the corres pondence of " Manhattan" in the Morning Herald and Standard. A new idea—a sensation—was wanted to vary the monotony of average good sense and decent English, and Shoe-lane has secured it. Like the manager of a theatre or circus, who has carried off from all rivals a new tumbler, and re joices in his bargain, so the Herald and Standard-- that wonderful mintage of two values, threepence with one heading, a penny with the other—calls all the world to come up and see the tricks of the new phenomenon. There have been various sorts of political writers and special correspondents. Nearly a hundred years ago, when even the Herald must have been a little girl, and as yet undreaming of Gampish bonnets and umbrellas, Junius took the town by storm by his fierce invectives, good hatings, and classical style. Even now he is the model of ambitious political letter writers, who endeavour to emulate his brilliancy with their special fireworks and electric lights of fitful lustre. Forty years ago, Cobbett was broiling on his gridiron all and sundry who were distasteful to his sturdy pre judices and pugilistic disposition. He called names, and threw verbal mud enough to be spatter his opponents. His rage simmered into italics, and reached the boiling point of capital let ters. Then came the era of descriptive reporting, carried by the genius of Russell and Woods to the greatest perfection. Mr. Russell gave us a few sketches of the events of the war in America • and, had he stayed there, would pr o b a bly h ave produced a gallery of pictures worthy to rank with his bril liant sketches of the Crimean war and the Indian mutiny. But the Washington authorities, loving darkness rather than light, objected to such a wit ness and critic of their proceedings. So Russell came back ; and Dr. Charles Mackay, who had been long wishing for the good times coming, found a good Times had come at last, accepted an engage ment, and started, not as a war correspondent, but as "special' at New York ; not to witness the fight ing, but to report faithfully what Yankee newspa per editors, sensation preachers, strong-minded female orators, abolitionists and rowdies, non-com batants like himself, thought about it. anhattan resembles Dr. Mackay in one respect. He, too, stays at home, and leaves others to run about note-book in hand from the Shenandoah Valley to Vicksburg, from Richmond to New Orleans. But there the re semblance ends. Mackay writes sensibly and like a gentleman, if not very powerfully. But Manhat tan has initiated a new style of political writing. Others have tried denunciation, scurrility, per sonality, and even rollicking humour. The sharp wit of Sydney Smith was not removed farther from the stinging darts shot from the safe concealment of Junius's Roman toga, than is Manhattan's style from that of all other writers. We have a word in our " slang dictionary" which more nearly than any other expresses the nature of the now famous let ters. It is " chaff." The French have their badinage, but that is totally inadequate to the expression of the idea. The exotic correspondent, transplanted to our atmosphere, has gathered the waste products of the New York sheets, and hammered them into a novel and most effective weapon. As a London cabby "chaffs" a companion out of luck, so Man , hattan chaffs the President and Secretary at War. THE INSURRECTION IN POLAND, (From the Special Correspondent of the Times.) BRODY, July 6. With all the admiration which I sincerely feel for the Langiewiczs, Frankowskis, Narlatitts, Padlew skis, Sierakowskis, Horodyckis, Gliszainskis, and so many other noble-minded soldiers who have given dignity to the Polish movement, and who are now for the most part in prison or in the grave, there is one class of Polish insurgents which I confess I cannot stand at all. These are the men and boys who are the true patriots of the insurrection ; what youths who enter regular armies for the sake of the uniform are to tree soldiers. For six weeks you may see them strutting about the streets and talking loud in the coffeehouses of Cracow and Lemberg, proud of their martial bearing, very proud indeed of their boots, and boasting of all sorts of things that they are going to do but have not yet done. Houses are open to them which at other times and under other circumstances they would not be allowed to enter ; they:have only to say that they are going into the cavalry to have excellent horses placed at their disposal, and there is scarcely any thing they may not get by asking for it or hinting that they are in need of it. Then they are allowed to pay and even themselves receive an undue amount of attention from women, for the Polish ladies look upon patriotism as the first virtue, and are too patriotic themselves to imagine that those insurgents who are the most ferocious when they are 100 miles from the frontier can be among the mildest when they find themselves in presence of the enemy, and that while the bravest and most pure-minded men in Poland are literally sacrificing themselves beneath the Russian sword in the supposed interest of their country, "ces messiers buttes" (as I have heard them called by their own sex) are sniffing the battle a very long way off, and gracefully lounging on the Austrian barrier at least a mile from the scene of action. On the morning of the invasion of Volhynia (it was all over by 2 p.m.) a Polish gen tleman who cannot well nor with any advantage to the Polish cause join the insurrection in the field, but who has rendered immense services to it, and who has also stopped more than one flight of cowards and forced them to return under fire to the great body of their comrades, arrested in my presence more than 20 of these faint-hearted patriots as they were hurrying from the roar of Wysocki's detach ment to the Galician frontier. They had not the slightest idea who this gentleman was, but he threatened to report them to the National Govern • ment, took their names down, caught new fugitives one by one as they came up, end did it all in such a tone of decision and with such an air of authority that when he ordered them to form, and marched them to a convenient little nook in the wood which lines the right side of the road to Radziwilow, the score of armed men obeyed their unarmed, self-ap pointed chief, and were forced to proceed like lambs to the ambuscade from which, if the opportunity presented itself, th ey , w i t h some 80 more who after wards joined th em, were to fire upon the Russians. Then, finding that the Russians were not coming (for Wysocki held his position until long after the engagement had ceased), they were lions once more, and boasted how they had been the last men to leave the field of battle (the action, as could be seen, had just begun), and how the rest of the detach ment had been cut to pieces and they alone had lived to tell the story, which they certainly told in the nursery sense of the word. One of these heroes declared to me that he had brought down a Russian at 500 paces, and I really believe, if he fired at all, that it was at a considerable distance. The general opinion among the fugitives appeared to be that Wys'ocki had engaged a force of 6,000 Russians (" fear," according to a Russian proverb, which is perhaps a Polish proverb also, "has large eyes"), and I am sure they were convinced that they had done great things, and that they had fairly paid for their two or three months military glory, taken on credit, by remaining five minutes before the enemy. One man fainted away. He was thought to be mortally wounded, but he had only ran too fast. Another caused himself to be carried to the hospital at Brody, whence one of the sargeons, after carefully examining him and discovering no blemish on his very sound and somewhat corpulent carcase, igno miniously kicked him out. I must now add that among the nimble runners who were 20 hours mak ing their zigzag march from their encampment in the woods near the frontier to the frontier itself, and who were " back again" from Radziwilow to the Austrian barrier in about 10 minutes, there was not one who could, by any cunning process, have been disguised as a gentleman, or who looked like a re spectable apprentice or an honest workman. The men of these classes, or this class—for,in considering its military merits, one need not divide it according to ordinary social distinctions—are lying in num bers in the hospitals and churchyards of Brody while the nimble runners are, no doubt, fighting their un fought battles over again in the taverns of Lemberg. It must be sweet, if not altogether decorous, to enjoy th e reputat i on of being ready to die for one's country without ever running the slightest risk, to walk surrounded by a shade of glory while carefully avoiding the substance of actual peril. But these cunning dogs, who aim at the shadow and get it, and keep to it, are often difficult to recognise before hand, for there are insurgents who brag and run away, and insurgents who brag and make the enemy run away. Indeed, the chaff of the insurrection can not always be sifted beforehand from the corn; but the wind of battle soon separates it, and, as a consi derable quantity of it was blown the other day just before my eyes, I cannot help mentioning as a faith ful chronicler, that the chaff exists, end is very dirty chaff indecd,:for ces Messieurs buttes are, after all, not the worst members of the Polish insurrec• tion, and, at least, the recruiting agents cannot be blamed for accepting them. borne are as brave as can be, others are as brave as ordinary men, and if a certain number of the military street-walkers of Cracow and Lemberg habitually run away when ever they have th© least chance of escaping to the Gallician frontier, it may be that they would not do so if the insurgent regiments were better disciplined. But what is to be said of the gentlemen who are not buttes, because they have no boots, and who have THE ROUPELL FORGERIES CASE. At the Essex Assizes, which are to be opened to-morrow at Chelmsford, the case in connection with the Roupell forgeries, in which such extraor• dinary disclosures took place during the memorable trial last year at Guildford, will enter upon another phase. Mr. Roupell, it will be recollected, was born before the marriage of his parents, and is con sequently illegitimate, his younger brother, Mr. Richard Roupell, being the heir at law of the de ceased Mr. Roupell ; and in consequence of the dis closures of the forgeries of his brother, he now seeks to impeach the validity of the securities held by mortgagees of the estates left by his father at the time of his death„and which were taken possession of and mortgaged by the convict Roupell. The first case that will arise, and which will occupy the attention of the court at Chelmsford, will be in the shape of an action for ejectment brought by Mr. Richard Roupell against Messrs. Hawes and others, the mortgagees in possession of the valuable estate in Essex, called the Great Warleigh estate. The case has been made a special jury case, and is ap pointed for trial on Thursday next, before Mr. Baron Bramwell, the senior judge of the assize. Mr. Ser geant Shee, with Mr. Luch, (LC., and Mr. Joseph Brown, instructed by Messrs. Linklater, are spe cially retained, an d w ill appear as counsel for Mr. Richard Roupell, the heir-at-law. Mr. Bovill, Q.C., with Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., and Mr. Garth, will appear as counsel for the defendants, the mort gagees. The defence to be set up is one that will result in the elucidation of some extraordinary facts. Mr. Roupell, the self-convicted forger, will be again brought up by habeas corpus and put, it is stated, in the witness-box, and undergo a more searching examination than he has hitherto been subjected to, the assumption being that his avowals of the for geries are a fabrication; and evidence will be ad duced to show that the signatures of the deceased to the several documents were genuine, whatever mental incapacity or coercion had existed or been used to obtain them. The action is expected to occupy several days. By far the more important case, however, as to the value of the property— whatever may be the result of this trial—will take place at the ensuing Croydon assizes, iu the action brought by Mr. Richard Roupell against the Equi table Insurance Office for the recovery of the ex tensive property called " The Roupell Park Es tate," at Streatham, and in which the same learned counsel are engaged. The case will also be tried before a special jury in the second week in August. CRINOLINE ACCIDENT.—A serious accident took place the day before yesterday at Rouen, owing to a crino• line. A lady was walking down the Rue Grand-Pont, when a gentleman's foot got entangled in her long dress as he was passing, and caused her to stumble. Her foot caught in the hoop of her crinoline, and she came down with such violence as to 1;404 her leg, STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, July lO.—Our yarn market has been very firm to-day, and there has been some tittle business doing at Tuesday's rates. The in quiry has been good, and but for the anxiety existing about American affairs our merchants seemed disposed to do a considerable amount of business. Sellers are not disposed to give way, and the yarn market closes firm. In cloth there is really very little change since Tuesday. Holders are still firm, while the offers making— and there are few— are considerably below the quotations of sellers. There seems but little prospect at present of either party being willing to give way, and hence we have to re port but little actual business. Such offers as have been made are so wide as to afford no real test of what prices would be accepted, though it is pretty clear that manufacturers compelled to realise would have to make a considerable concession in the present state of feeling among buyers. Messrs. John Pender and Co., in their semi-monthly circular for the overland mail (via Marseilles) of yesterday, say :—" During the last fortnight our market has not, until within the last three days, been more animated than at the date of our last report. Rather more inquiry has been made since the arrival of the Bombay mail of the Bth of June, with more favourable accounts for goods from that market and Calcutta, which, how ever, have caused little actual business. There is some movement in the home trade, which is likely to be much stimulated by the prospect of an early and good harvest. Quotations are about the same as last reported (a fortnight ago), and this day's market has again been very quiet." There is no doubt that the extremely fine summer weather is leading to the most sanguine expectations as to the coming harvest, and that commercial men are justified in expecting an increased demand for cotton goods. It should be borne in mind, however, that the high prices of the last two seasons have taught people to go for a considerable portion of their goods where they can get mixtures of woollen, linen, and silk with cotton and other substances, instead of buying fabrics purely of cotton, and that we must be prepared not to count too largely even on the advantages of a good harvest, If anything could show to what an extent the high prices of cotton goods have led to the use of substi tutes in woollen and other goods it is the compara tive prosperity of the Yorkshire trade, and we hear . it stated that already, on the lines of railway run ning through the manufacturing districts of Lan cashire and Yorkshire, the increased prosperity of trade in the latter has gone far to make up for the loss of traffic receipts caused by the suspension of business in the former. NOTTINGHAM, July 10th.—At this Exchange hall to-day the attendance was limited, am) only a moderate trade was done in lace yarns at previous rates. For hosiery yarns the demand was dull, at recent rates. Silks of all kinds are firm. In the value of brown nets no material alteration occurred, COUNTRY MARKETS. ky YORK-SATURDAY.

The Russian journal the Nache Wremia (our Times) publishes a letter from Warsaw, which contains the following :.—" Large bands of insurgents are now no longer talked of, but on the other hand it is diffi cult to imagine a clump of trees that does not conceal some. The air is in tact impregnated with insurrection. One of our companies has just returned from an expedition—it marched 72 miles in 48 hours without meeting with a single insurgent, and only brought as prisoners two Polish nobles who were met on the road and on whom were found papers of a suspicious character. We lost during the ex pedition four Cossacks, who, wishing to take some rest, in vited themselves to dine at the hcuse of a Pole. Two of them were killed, and the other two have not since been heard of. Such is the result of most of our expeditions."
