LONDON, THURSDAY, JULY 16, 1863. Everything concurs to show that, in these last conflicts to the north of Washington, the advantage remained (when the latest advicesleft) with the Confe derates. Nothing demonstrates this moreclearly or more significantly than the tone of the closing para graph in President LINCOLN'S message or procla mation. if it is expressive of anything whatever it is expressive of profound despondency. There is no glimmering through any one syllable of it, of that old and at length obsolete exultation which need to characterise every individual document emanating from the Government authorities at Washington, from the PRESIDENT downwards to the veriest underling. The last fighting —to which this most exemplary and most " resigned" pro clamation of President LINCOLN has especial reference—took place at the commencement of this present month of July at Gettysburg, in Pennsyl vania. As to the result of the conflict, so far as it could in any way be learnt before these last de spatches left by the Bohemian—the advantage, we must still insist, quite manifestly remained on the side of the Confederates. True, that the very few English journals yet contriving, we presume by the simple device of hoping against hope, to maintain their consistency by continuing down to the very last to be the persistent thick-and-thin enpporter s of the North, argue with the most amnsingl3- naive confidenoe that black is white, that defeat is victory, that at the very least discomfiture is success for the Federals. A fortnight ago, they complacently remark, there was hard fighting at Gettysburg, in Pennsylvania—the result of this hard fighting being, according to their distorted view of the very facts they themselves relate, that the Confederates had been " repulsed" at all points. Mark that—repulsed ! According to their inge nious narrative of events, moreover, the conflict beginning thus and ending thus on the first of July, was renewed on the second with, if possible, still greater fury ; a " tremendous cannonade" con tinuing, we are told, on that morning for three hours without intermission. With what result, is it asked ? The Federal apologists shall answer in their own words—" with the same result as before !" Meaning, that is to say, nothing less than the repulse at all points of the army of the Con federates. Now mark well how plain a tale shall put them down. By their own summary, in effect, of the particulars thus flagrantly distorted ! " At the close of the day "—that is of the second day's fight ing at Gettysburg, in Pennsylvania—" at the close of the day," says to-day's issue of the chief organ of the Federals among onr morning contemporaries, " General MEADE held his ground at all points ! A very different matter indeed from the immedi ately preceding account given by the same journal, namely, its account of " the repulse at all points" of the army of the Confederates ! No—without putting any gloss whatever upon it, the news furnished by the telegrams is sufficiently ex plicit and sufficiently comprehensible—.proving quite plainly, if it ca n be said to prove a n ythi ng whatever, th at the days' Federals in the two battle at Gettysb urg , an d that, by the close of th e second day (both of th e month and of the battle), th e advantage was l e ft w i th the Con federates. The r i ght flank of the Federal army was turned—the like being done wi t h t h e l eft flank s hortly afterwards---in ot her words the north ern forces were e ff ectually. the Corps w as by th e Confede rates. REYNOLDS'S to give way, with a loss of 1,600 men c ompelled. their including unfortunate commander. H owaltrt , follower s were obliged in like manner to yield v ictorious advance of the Southe rners. Both corp s before the t o gether fell back so unmistakeabl y as to eeespy a position " south" of Gettysburg—Gettysburg -1.- maining, in point of fact, in the Possession of the Confederates. When the later fighting " to th e right of Gettysburg" is referred to afterwards in the exceedingly confused narrative of events com ing to us through N ew York—when that later fi g hting i 3 spoken of at New York in signi ficant words like these, " it is impossible to say what has really been the result of the coefi:et," we mey be absolutely certain of this, that the result is not by any means in favour of the Federal cause. No doubt we have to read, at the head of General MEADE's Report, under a date as recent as eight o'clock on the morning of the 3d inst—" Repulse of the Confederates !" But—look at the Report, itself, so headed in the telegrams . Read what it is that General MEADE himself states therein—" Thus far the enemy has made no impres sion on my position!" And in the telegram sum mary we read—" At the termination of the battle each belligerent appears to have held the same position as at the commencement." Not very much—all this—like a repulse at every point of the Confederate army ! Add to the state ments contained in General MEADE'S own report and to the corroborative intimations conveyed piecemeal by the telegrams, add to all this the profoundly despondent tone of the closing passage in the PRESIDENT'S message already alluded to, namely, when he "claims the condolence of all for the many gallant men who have fallen, and for this especially desires that on this day He whose will, not ours, should ever be done, be everwhere remembered and reverenced with the profoundest gratitude !" Reading all which, who shall deny that, when these last advices left, the powers that still were at Washington were then, indeed, in fearful jeopardy ? The brief debate on the subject of Prize Money, the other night, called attention to a subject which especially deserves consideration. Colonel NORTH moved an address to her MAJESTY to issue a Royal Commission to inquire into the realisation of army prize property a nd it s mode of distribution. He said that his attention was called to the question pressed throughout the army by the great dissatisfaction w b h o ic th h b li y a o d been ex- and e and the result was that they men. They had taken a part i w n e glorious t l c e a d m t p o a p i g ri n z s e , money. The cause for com b enpeltawinetwtahse capture theimm and time which had inter vened the time when the captors received the money. He would cite several instances in which moat unrea sonable delays had occurred of late years. In the Burmese war he found that the first order for pay ment was issued ten years after the war was closed. In 1839 the capture of Ghuznee took place, but no prize money was distributed until nine years after wards. The prize money with regard to Pegu was not received for ten years. Colonel NORTH truly declared that no one could be surprised at the soldiers being disgusted. What the object of this absurd dilatoriness can be, must puzzle the most astute to account for. If the object in view was to disgust and dissatisfy the army, it might be comprehensible. But presuming that all in autho rity in such cases are willing to do their utmost to satisfy the defenders of their country, it remains an inscrutable problem. Colonel NORTH also ad verted to the real appropriation of forfeited and unreclaimed prize money. A large sum arising from soldiers' prize money had been expended on the purchase of land near Chelsea Hospital. "No less a sum than £40,000 Lad been paid to Commis sioners in virtue of an Act of Parliament for the purpose of purchasing a site for the Royal Military Asylum." Also, it had been represented to the House in 1854 that a large number of boys had been turned out of Chelsea Hospital to enable tho schoolmasters for the army to occupy their apart ments. This was disapproved of by the House, and the boys were restored to their rights ; but now it appeared that a considerable sum had been taken from the soldiers' prize money to build a place for these army schoolmasters. This is really a scanda lous proceeding, and requires investigation of a searching nature. Colonel NORTH referred in con clusion to the capture of Delhi, where the soldiers could have carried away immense booty, but at the command of their officers they gave it up. Hence it was the more to be regretted that the sum received as prize money was so miserably small as to cause great dissatisfaction. He left the matter to the noble lord at the head of the Government, and trusted he would appoint those who " from their services, their ability, and their name would be qualified for the task." Colonel NORTH acquitted himself very creditably of his arduous endeavour. It is all times an invidious task to bring forward these claims ; but in the present instance, happily, there was no opposition to the fulfilment of the laudable suggestion that was made. Lord PAL MERSTON said he had no objection whatever to the motion of the hon. and gallant officer. The noble lord very forcibly demonstrated the evils arising from the present system. He said that when a period of ten years elapsed before prize -money was received, men die, or get dispersed, and then their families have to prove their right of inheritance. Again, the men often sold their claim at a great loss, and thus the parties who eventually receives IL 2. w ere speculators, and not they whose meritorious services had earned the reward. It reflects honour on the noble lord that he should so readily have acceded to this demand for investigation, and, doubtless, he will gain the thanks of many who now suffer most undeservedly great inconvenience from 1 the harassing delays and vexatious obstacles that are so constantly interposed. Sir S. NORTHCOTE was not so fortunate in his attempt to inquire into the Banda and Kirwee booty. Lord PALMERSTON did not take up the idea at all, and seemed indignant at the suggestion. He said that there was no rule on the subject, and the motion was withdrawn. Colonel DICK, thereupon very properly observed that it there was no law for the distribution of prize money, the sooner one was made the better, for it was mon strous that our soldiers should for years be kept out of a reward that they had earned with their blooa and valour. Lord PALMERSTON promised that this fund should not be dealt with until the papers re lating to the affair should be laid before the House. This is a satisfactory conclusion to have arrived at, and thus the contending claims of the troops under Sir G. WHITLOCK and Sir HUGH ROSE will have au opportunity of being adjusted iu a manner that will do justice to all. It ie to be trusted that these discussions will eventually result in benefit to the officers and soldiers of our army, who are the chief parties concerned in this affair. If their interests are well trotected, and their g a ll ant services suit ably requit ed , it will be a matter of very li ttle im port if some official rules are violat e d, an d some a re e ngendered on the part o f t h ose who ogry feelings now rule with arbitrary sway in these complicated affairs.

The arguments on both sides were in a great measure the same as those formerly brought rorward.

He remarkedont t h h e e amount of emigration f rom t hi s country during last few years, and said that his proposal gr anted only a permissive power, and the guardians need not make use of it unless they chose. The Southern colonies of Australia were, he maintained, especially suitable for emigrants from this country ; the cli mate being wild and the colonies being very ready to come forward and assist. Victoria, according to hie statement, has received 70,000 or 80,000 per sons in one year without the rate of wages being affected. Wo readily grant the great amount of labour that can be absorbed into the vast colonies of our Southern continent, but several drawbacks re main to be considered, and this is a question on which hasty legislation is especially to be depre cated. Mr. VILLIERS stated that he had that very morning heard from the Emigration Board the rules and restrictions under which they acted on behalf of the colonies. He had inquired whether there was a likeli hood of the cotton operatives being selected for assistance to the colonies. He was assured that the rules of the Board would prevent their sending them. The emigrants must not be above 40; they must not have more than two children ; and they must have been employed as either mechanics or agriculturists. These rules are espe cially enforced with regard to the corny of Victoria. The colonists have, of course, a perfect right to stipulate what 'kinds of persons are to be sent out partly at their expense, and their restrictions must be seriously considered, as it is evident that per sons who do not approach the description given are not suitable to send, as the colonists must naturally he the best aware of what class is likely to succeed and thrive in the new land, and be a source of pro fit to themselves and the colony. The most serious difficulty in the case is the one that has often been pointed out, and was especially dwelt upon on Tues day evening by two gentlemen who ought to know something of the matter—Mr. VILLIERS and Mr. COBDEN. They both insisted on the impropriety, and even the cruelty, of despatching a large num ber of families to great distances unless some secu rity is provided for their obtaining employment at the end of their journey. Mr. CHILDERS had spoken of the eagerness of the people to emigrate, and had cited, in support of his assertions, some lettere written by Mr. KNIGHT, who visited Manchester as an acting emigration agent this spring. This gentleman described his office as perfectly besieged with applicants, and expressed his belief that he could have booked 1,000 per day for a considerable time. The hon. member for Rochdale, however , replied by saying that Manchester was a metropolis !la its way, and that there was by no means the same anxiety felt in the purely factory towns. He also pointed out that the proposed resolution would not come into full effect until the terrors of the winter were half over. We have good grounds for hoping now that the face of affairs is changing. The aspects of the American war encourage us to hope ; and it should never be forgotten in discus • sions of this nature that we are legislating for a temporary and exceptional state of things. It is wise, no doubt, to lighten the ship in times of danger; but let us not throw overboard our most valuable cargo just as the harbour is in bight. There was no surplus of labour before, as the high rate of wages testified very plainly. It is, there fore, a doubtful kindness to transport families to a new life and a new world, when, in a few months, their old source of profitable occupation may be again open to them and needing their aid. The truth was fairly stated by Mr. VILLIERS when he said that some temporary provision is necessary ; and people should be left free to emigrate if flit) , wish ; but for the House to encourage, direct, or compel them to do so is contrary to ancient prac tice and good policy. Partial schemes to aesist these anxious to emigrate have long been on foot, and are at this time especially deserving of assist ance, provided they arrange for the reception of their members, but the wisdom of wholesale mea sures of the kind is always doubtful. Mr. CHIL DERS, becoming sensible of this, withdrew his motion, and the Union Relief Aid Bill was allowed to pass finally through committee, and will, we hope, prove a substantial amelioration of some part of the still existing distress.

No man, and hardly any woman, in Auckland believes that we, in this province, need care a farthing about them, I only wish the Governor would shut them up in their own land, and leave them to their own de vices, as they appear to be determined not to allow us to do them any good. I had a talk with Mr. Gorst, the late Com missioner on the Waikato, a few days ago. He does not believe there will be any attempt to fight, at any rate on this side of the country, i.e., north of the Waikato country. He says the Maori King and William Thompson are thoroughly disgusted, having no authority, and that he will not be surprised to see the poor King abdicate shortly, and come down to Auckland." Amateur Theatricals at the Theatre Royal, St. James's, On Friday evening, the 10th inst., the St. James's Theatre was crowded by a most brilliant and fashionable audience to witness the performance of Miss Barker's little comedietta, "The Peal of Bells," "The White Horse of the Peppers," and " The Rough Diamond," the chief characters being sustained by the Lady Anne Sherson, Miss Barker, Lord Raynham, M.P., Mr. Maitland, ana other amateurs. The object was, as usual on such occa sions, CHARITY, and the talent displayed (especially by Lady Anne Sherson, Miss Barker, and Mr. Maitland) was of a very high order. In "The White Horse of the Peppers," Mr. tit aitland played with a rich, racy, Irish humour, which recalled to the mind ever lamented Power. It is seldom that we see that captivating, humorous, high-souled, brave-spirited, warm-hearted character, an Irish gentleman, so admirably interpreted. Lady Anne Sherson and Lord Raynham (always foremost in every good work) lent the influence of their rank, popularity, and talents to the cause of the General Benevolent Society. Lady Anne is without a rival in the characters she interprets. As the Irish soubrette she &meet a jig (well supported by Mrs. Joy, and nothing more piquante or more charming could be imagined than both her ladyship's lash jig and Lanoashit e Clog dance, which she introduced in the charac ter of Margery in "The Rough Diamonds." She was enthusiastically applauded throughout and raptu• rously encored. Mr. H. Lawlor showed a good deal of talent as the landlord of the Pig and Whistle. Mr. Joy displayed astonishing agility in the Irish jig; Lord Raynham played as he always does, with ease and grace, and looked to perfection the gallant officer he repre sented. Miss Barker surpassed herself as Mrs. Vane Chat terton, and Sophy found a charming interpreter in Mrs. George. The only fault we have to find was the extreme discomfort of the pit seats, which were charged for as stalls, and caused great dissatisfaction, LAX DISCIPLINE.—A letter from Naples of the Bth says: ---"'T he St. George, 90 guns ( prince AlfrEd's recent vessel), screw line-of-battle ship, Captain E ger ton, which had been for some time anchored off Naples, sailed out of the bay on Mon d ay afternoon.

Being the beginning of the month the men were flush of money; and 200 sailors and marines—leave being given to about half a guard at a time—are certainly an awful set to be rollicking about all at once in a city like Naples."

FRANCE. The Opinone Nationale makes th e f o ll ow i ng observations on the debate in the Ho use o f L ords fi on rs t t h r e em P a o r li k s e h d q o u n es :_ tio , n , . The Lordnoble lord Grey ' 8 language is condemns tne atrocities committed by the Russians. We have underlined that word, the better to show that the British aristocracy, that powerful head of the old European Conservative party, takes absolutely the san e view as we do, and like ourselves brands with infamy the acts of savage brutality which are now being accomplished in Poland with the authori sation of the Emperor Alexander. Let ns add that Lord Grey, in spite of his indigna tion, does not call on the English Government to exact an exemplary vengeance for those nameless barbarities. Such flights are only permitted to Democrats like ourselves. Lord Grey, on the contrary, begs the Ministers of Queen Victoria not to draw the sword from the scabbard. The Rus sians, he admit s , act like wild beasts, outrage humanity, dishon our c i v ili sat i on , an d only seek victory in a monstrous butchery ; but the noble lord does not consider it a case for obligatory interven tion. That high and powerful lord, that territorial seigneur, is not the less a great philanthropist; but the love which h e possesses for h i s fellow-creatures is not a gross, m ater i al, and vulgar feeling; it is a beautiful platonic l ove, an d a pure a ff ect i on . Th ere is also the reply of Earl Russell to Lord Grey. The minister declared on two occasions that the said that, it Government n e i t h er w ill nor can ass i st t h e P oles m if ust any b t e hi o n n g ly w b a y s °Ube btayineadrmfartomhe Russia, force of reason. But be took care to add that the Polish question is not one of those in which England would act alone; that be could not say what would be the reply of Russia, nor what mea sures the English Government would take after having received it, and that, besides, Lord Grey's point of view was not that of every body in Eng land, where many persons were of opinion that an armed intervention ought to take place. Earl Rus sell is perfectly light ; the English people are not, any more than the French, disposed to allow the Poles to be slaughtered, and there are in the House ot Lords mt n who profess the same views and teal- Inge; such is Lord Harrow by, who advised Queen. Victoria to declare that Russia has lost all her rights of Sovereignty not only over Poland, but over Lithuania, Volhvnia, Podolia, and the Ukraine." A Paris letter, in the Independance Beige, having asserted that the Emperor Napoleon had completely renounced all idea of war with Russia, the Pays takes the matter up rather warmly, and affirms that no such language is justified. It says :—" There was not, sty more than there is at present, any idea of war or notion of conflict. The Emperor has not had to renounce, nor has he renounced, any part of the policy which he first adopted in the Polish question, and of which the Minis ter of Foreign Affairs, without ever depart. ing from it, has pursued the application with as much skill as firmness. In consequence of this conduct, the situation may be considered as ame liorated by reason of the almost certain adhesion of Russia to the propositions of the three Powers. But there is absolutely nothing changed either in the feelings or intentions of the Emperor's Government. It desired the maintenance of peace,when M. Dronyn de Lhuys addressed his despatches of the 10th April and 17th June successively to St. Petersburg, as sincerely as at present. But it is not less decided now to pursue the object which it had proposed to itself by the sending ot those despatches."

Another Polish town has fallen a victim to the barbarity of the Russian troops. Janow, which a week ego a as one of the most flourishing of the towns of the palatinate of OlkuAz, is now in ashes, and five houses and a church alone remain to show the pl a ce where it once stood. Its destruction by the Russians was, as usual, an act of vengeance on in nocent townsmen, because they had sustained a defeat. The town had, a few weeks ago, been occu pied by several companies of infantry and a sotnia of Cossacks, who had been sent, together with an other detachment which proceeded to Lelo qv, in pursuit of Chmielinski, who, with his band, occupied a strong position in the woods of Polok Zloty. Chmielinski, hearing of their arrival, determined to attack them at Janow before they had time to con centrate their forces, and, with this view, left the main body of his band and marched to the village o p f o i lia ! k w , taking hicb is about t t 6 1 ( 2 ) 00 paces riflemen 4it from Janow, him. surprised some Cossacks and infantry soldiers of the Wilebsk Regiment, who were bathing in a pond. ' ow they At The Russians, after losing about a dozen men, fled with great precipitation to Janow, closely pursued by the Poles. Meanwhile, the Russian troops at Janow, hearing the firing, bad assembled in order in the market-place, and presented a formidable front to the handful of Poles that were rushing into the town. A desperate hand-to-hand struggle ensued—a major, a captain, and several other offi cers and soldiers, fell on the side of the Russians, and the market-place remained in possession of the Poles. Chmielinski then returned to his camp in the woods, taking with him a large quantity of ammunition and several horses_ It was then that the carnage and destruction began. Scarcely were ',Lc Poles well out of sight, when the Russians returned to Janow, which they first pillaged, and then set on fire. At Ponik they burnt the farm and all the houses of the village, and killed six of the inhabitants. A few wounded Poles, whom Chmielinski was unable to take away with him, were thrown by the Russians into the flames. The unfortunate people, when they attempted to save their houses from destruction, were beaten, many of them, to death, by the infuriated soldiery. A Cossack, who had entered the house of a sweep and set fire to it, murdered the child of a woman who called for assistance, and wounded her severely. A policeman and an innkeeper were also murdered. The remainder of the inhabitants are wandering about the roads and woods, begging for shelter and food. You are, no doubt, aware that Wielopolslti has left Warsaw on leaw. His last official act was characteristic. It appears that the Czar had asked trim his opinion on the six points proposed by the Western Powers. Wielopoiski answered that be did not see any reason why the Czar should not accept them, as if he did so that would not neces sirate any alteration in the present state of things in Poland. Let the Powers judge how far Russia may be trusted from this opinion of Wielopolski on the si/E points. AMERICA. (RETITETt'S TELEGRAM.) Desperate Battle between the Forces of Generals Lee and Meade. (Per the Bohemian.) NEW YORK, July 3, Morning. At nine o'clock on Wednesday morning the Ist corps of General Meade's army, under Reynolds, followed by the 11th corps, under Howard, entered Gettysburg on the east side, and passing out on the west side were met by General enrp Ad . vancing from Uhambersburg Turnpike in line of battle towards the town. An engagement commenced immediately. During the first portion of the fight, Reynolds, by a skilful movement, captured the Confederate General Archer and about 1,000 men. Reynolds was engaged two hours before Howard Came up, and at that time the Confederates had par tially succeeded in turning Reynolds' right flank. General Reynolds held a position on a wooded ridge, and to the right was another range of hills which Howard directed Schurz 40 occupy with the second division. Owing, however, to the flank of the Con federates or. Reynolds' right, Schurz was unable to accomplish his object. At this time General Ewell came up with 25,000 men, and planted batteries ex posing the Federals to a destructive cross fire. The Federal right flank was turned and their left flank at the - same time, so superior were thE Confederates in number. Reynolds's corps giving way, Howard found it impossible to maintain his position, and at four o'clock in the afternoon both corps fell back to a position south of Gettysburg, when they were joined by the other corps of Meade's army. At the termination of the engagement the Confe derates occupied Gettysburg. The Federals are reported to number 20,000, and the Confederates 50,000. Howard's corps is said to have lost 3,000 men and Reynolds's corps 1,500, including Reynoldc, General Paul, and an immense number of officeib killed. Fig Ming was resumed on Thursday, and it is supposed that the battle between the main armies took piece yesterday ar.d to day. Th, Federals are reported to have eaptured 6,000 prisoners in Pennsylvania, 2,000 of whom have ar rived at Baltimore. General Fitzhugh Lee, with 3,000 men, de manded the surrender of Carlisle, on Wednesday, which was refused. Gt nerai Lee then shelled the town, burning the barracks and numerous build ings, and retired on Thursday to Shippensburg. The defences of Baltimore are manned by 10,000 citizens,and all arms have been taken from private persons. Gen. French has abandoned Maryland Heights, destroying all the fortifications, and has moved to co-operate with General Meade. The governor of Pennsylvania has telegraphed to the governors of New York and New Jersey that there is pressing need of troops. General Couch was going to move cown through Cumberland Valley against the Confederates. NEW YORK, July 3, Evening. Fighting is reported to have been resumed yes terday to the right of Gettysburg, towards Benders ville, with greater energy and larger forces. General Sedgwick's corps passed through York yesterday, and is said to be in the rear of the Con federates. There are no railroads or telegraphs nearer than 40 miles from Gettysburg, so that it is impossible to say what has really been the result of the conflict. News from Vicksburg to the 28th ult. states that the Confederates continued active resistance. General Johnstone is said to have received rein forcements from Bragg, and to be perfecting ar rangements to attack General Grant. The Confederate generals Marmaduke, Price, and Kirkby Smith, have got possession of several points along the banks of the Mississippi, and would pr3bably attempt to seize Milliken's Bensl, and obstruct the navigation. Gen. Rosencranz reports that he occupied Tulla homa on the Ist inst., the Confederates retiring, demoralised, towards Winchester, leaving their fortifications, provisions, and three siege guns. A Southern official despatch states that Genera! Fayen has stormed and carried the Federal position ar Berwick Bay, giving the Confederates the corn , mand of the Mississippi above New Orleans, and cutting off BAnks's supplies. The Contederate pickets are near Algiers, oppo site New Orleans. • It is reported that General Dix will abandon his expedition upon the peninsula and join General Meade. _ _ The steamer Victory has been captured. The Republican party deny that Mr, Conway has any authority from any political party in America. The Bohemian tales out 30,000 dole. in specie. NEW YORK, July 4, Morning. GenFral Meade officially reports as folio vvs "On the 2d inar. the enemy attacked me about four o'clock in be afternoon, and after one of the severest contests of the war, was repulsed at all Joints. We have suffered considerably in sick and wounded. General Zook is killed, and Generals Sickles, Barlow, Graham, and Warren, wounded slightly. We have taken a large number of pri soners." General Meade further reports, at eight o'clock on the morning of the 3d, that the action recom menced at early daylight upon various parts of the li n e. 110 says : " ThUE far the enemy have made no impression on my position. All accounts agree in placing their whole army here. Prisoners report that Longstreet and Hill's forces were much injured yesterday, and that many generals and officers were killed. " General Barksdale, of Mississippi, is dead. His body is within our lines. " We have thus far about 1,600 prisoners." The following are the details of the battle of the 2d inst. Early in the morning General Meade formed his line of battle. His centre occupied the heights south of Gettysburg, at and near the cemetery. The 2d and 3d corps, under Sickles, formed the left wing, and the Ist and 11th the right. In the early part of the day it was supposed that Lee was massing his forces on the Federal right and dis positions were made accordingly. At three p.m. Sickles with the 3d corps was ordered forward and reconnoitred. This brought on a general engage ment. The Confederate artillery opened on the Fede ral left, and the Federal batteries on the Cemetery hill opened against the Confederates in the field, who returned tha fire. Ail the Federal guns on the northern face of the Cemetery-hill en gaged the Confederate batteries twt, miles across the country. On the Federal right the Confederate artillery caused a large number of troops to run to the rear of the Cemetery-hill, but the line was established in the rear, and they were kept in front. The musketry on the Federal left became fierce, and the 3d Corps were driven in disorder from the ground to which they had advanced, but General Sickles rallied them, and they went again forward, reinforced by the sth Curps on their left. The Confederates now attempted to get around the Federal left, but the Federals pressed forward and drove them back until they occupied a position where a Confederate battery had been previously stationed, but the fire being concentrated further to their rear, and the Confederates being reported on their left, they returned to the crest of the hill. Anderson's and Maciaw's divisions of L , ngstreet's corps now advanced upon this positio❑ with great fury, killing men on the crest of the hill, over the crest, and coming down on the other side. Jut the sth Corps rallied, and by a strong effort drove the Confederates back down the hill, and the engage ment on the left terminated with darkness. Atter dark the Confederates advanced upon the Federal right, but the Federals held their position and the Confederates did not renew the engagement. At the termination of the battle each belligerent ap pears to have held the same position as at the com mencement. News from New Orleans of the 26th ult. states that after the battle at Lafourche Crossing, the Federals abandoned their position and retired to New Orleans. The Confederates have captured Brashear City, with its garrison of 1,000 men, 20 pieces of artillery, and valuable stores. They have also seized Pass Manche Bridge. The Confederates occupy the entire state of Louisiana west of Lafourche Crossing, and north of the Opelonsas Railroad. New Orleans is coa eidered secure, as the guns of the fleet command t be city, and land forces are placed to defend every approach. The bombardment of Port Hudson continues, and onntheL t acault wan Pxpected to take place on the 27th ult. News from Vicksburg to the 29th states that Johnstone's advance was reported to be within a few miles of the Federal outer pickets, NEW YORK, July 4, Noon. General Meade reports, at 8 o'clock on the evening of the 3d, as follows : " The enemy opened fire at one o'clock with 150 guns upon my left and centre, continuing three hours without intermission. He then assaulted my left and centre twice, being handsomely repulsed each time with severe loss, and leaving in our hands nearly 3,000 prisoners, including Brigadier General Armistead, several colonels, and officers. Our loss is considerable, with Generals Hancock and Gibbon wounded. " After repelling the assault, there being indica tions that the enemy might be withdrawing, I pushed an armed reconnaissanc e forward from the left, and found the enemy to be in force. All quiet now. My cavalry have been engaged all day in harassing both flanks of the enemy and vigorously attacking him with great success, notwithstanding they met superior numbers of cavalry and infantry." President Lineole has issued a message that he has news from General Meade's army to 10 o'clock at night of the 3d, which is said to cover that army with the highest honour, and to promise great suc cess fur the Union cause. The President claims the condolence of all for the many gallant men who have fallen, and for this eqq-ciafly desires that en this day He whose will, not ours, showid ever be done, be everywhere remembered and reverenced with the profoundest gratitude.

At the conclusion of the day's proceedings the band of the B division of Police performed a selection of marches, &c., in a manner highly creditable to Mr. Dean, their band master. In the course of the afternoon Sergeant France of the corps of Commissionaires, picked up a purse containing £3 10s. 9d., and with commendable honesty handed it over to the officer in charge of the police• station, and before gun-fire it was owned by Mr.. C. Nightingale, of Wimbledon. During the meeting a post-office has been kept on the ground by Sergeant Russell, 38 A. Some posts have brought as many as 300 letters, and it has been very amusing to witness the eagerness with which the volun teers have surroundea the box of this officer when a post has arrived. The crowds have been at times so great thai two constables have bten actively engaged in keeping them back until each letter has been looked over and put in the proper pigeon-hole, which has been done by Sergeant Russell with a rapidity almost equalling that which could have been done by one of the Post-office sorters. Mr. J.•E. Baillie, a banker at Bristol, has died worth nearly £1,000,000. If we remember rightly, Mr. Baillie is recorded as the banker who advised the late Sir Graham not to bank. HER MAJESTY. OSBORNE, July 15. The Queen drove out yesterday. Her Majesty received the New Zealand chiefs to day at Osborne, consisting of 13 persona, ten male and three female, who arrived from London to have the honour of an interview, accompanied by Mr. Jenkins, Government interpreter, and two other in terpreters. The Duke of Newcastle, Secretary of State for the Colonies, was present. The chiefs crossed over from Southampton in her Majesty's yacht Fairy, which was sent to meet them. The Queen, accompanied by their Royal High nesses Princess Helena, Princess Louise, Princess Beatrice, and Prince Leopold, and attended by the Hon. Mrs. Bruce, the Hon. Beatrice Byug, and the gentlemen in waiting, received the chiefs in the Council Room, where they were severally presented by Mr. Jenkins, and had the honour of kissing her M,,j-sty's hand. The heads of tribes then addressed the Queen through the interpreter. After partak ing of luncheon the whole party were taken on board the Victoria and Albert, and went afterwards to Portsmouth. A. \ . ,4-i t 't 011111 Nr*, The Prince and Princess of Wales. The Prince and Princess of Wales, having returned to Frogmore House after their fij ing visits to Wim bledon and Aldershot, are renewing their drives and excursions in the neighbourhood of Windsor and the Great Park. Yesterday the Prince of Wales, accompanied by the Princess and attended by their suite, drove in a pony phaeton to Virginia, Water. Their Roy4l H.ghnesses left Frogmore about five o'clock, and proceeded down the Long Walk on their way to the above favourite locality, where they dined and afterwards returned to Frogmore. His Royai Highness the Dake of Cambridge intends, after the prorogation of Parliament, to leave town for a tour in Germany. In the event of his Royal High. ness going abroad, he will not be absent beyond a month. The Archbishop of Canterbury and the Misses Longley have left Lambeth Palace for Addington Park, Croydon. The Duke and Duchess of Marlborough and family left town yesterday for Blenheim Palace, near Ox ford. The duke goes to Southampton to-day fur a yachting excursion. The Duke and Duchess of Northumberland have arrived at Brighton. The Duchess of Norfolk, Lord Edmund Fitzilan Howard, the Ladies Ethelreda and Mary Fitzalan Howard, Lady Victoria Scott, and Mr. and Miss Hope Scott, are staying at Brighton, The Duchess of Roxburghe arrived at Brighton on Tuesday. Toe Marquis of Exeter will leave town to-day for Burghley House, near Stamford. In consequence of the absence of the marchioness and family, only a few inti mate friends will meet there for the races. The Earl and Countess Spencer left Spencer House, St James's, yesterday, for Cowes, Isle of Wight. The noble earl and countess will not leave the island until the Goodwood races. The health of the earl is so satisfac tory that in all probability he will go to Althorp Hall for the autumn, instead of to the Contirent, as was thought a few weeks since. fhe Countess of Listowel and the Ladies Hare have left town for the season. Viscountess Palmerston will have an evenirg party on Saturday next, and also on the succeed ng Satur day, the 25th inst. Lard Londesborough intends to leave town b.4ore the close of the month for Grimston Park, near Scarbo rough, where his lordship will entertain a succession of distinguished guests for rather more than a week. The Right Hon. B. Disraeli and Mrs. Disraeli entertained, yesterday evening, at dinner, at their residence Grosvenor-gate, the Marquis and Marchioness of Clanri carde, the Earl of Wilton and Lady Alice Grey Egerton, the Countess of Desert, the Countess Brownlow, the Earl and Countess of Bective, Viscount St. Asaph, Lord West, Lord and Lady Churchill, Colonel and Lady Rosa Greville. and Mr. and Mrs. Lowther.

KEAN IN A NEW CHARACTER.—Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kean departed by the Champion of the Seas, from Liverpool, on a professional tour through our Southern dependencies. As no clergyman happened to have taken his passage by that vessel, the eminent tragedian was pre vailed upon to read Divine service during the voyage. He stipulated that he was not to be called upon to marry, christen, or bury any of his fellow-passengers during the transit. He declined to relieve the captain of this portion of his official duties.—Corly Taper. ROYAL GALLERY OF ILLUSTRATION, 14, Regent street, Waterloo-plaee.—Mr. and Mrs. German Reed's new entertainment is enjoying a very prosperous career and attracts very fashionable audiences. These clever artists are quite " at home" in their " Charming Cot tage." Out of the simplest of plots, they contrive to excite a lively and continued interest. Each impersonation, in• deed, has its special attraction, success depending more upon the ability of the performer than upon a sequence of incidents arranged for dramatic dr , - ct. We understand there will be other visitors at the " Charming Cottage" next Menday, the Sisters Pry having been prevailed upon to call at Windsor as they formerly came to Richmond. We have little doubt these celebrated " Old Maids" will make them selves as agreeable in the one place as the other. Mr. Parry's description of "Mrs. Roseleaf's Little Evening Party," which he had the honour of giving before the Prince and Princess of Wales, at the mansion of the Lord Cham berlain, continues to amuse the frequenters 4,f the Gallery. We hear that, at the close of their season, Mr. and Mrs. Reed contemplate a tour round the South coast. PROPORTION OF CAVALRY TO INFANTRY.-- Napoleon laid it down as an axiom, that cavalry should be to infantry as 1 to 4, giving however to France only 1 to 5, on account of the mountainous nature of some of its districts. To Italy the same great authority assigns only Ito 13. This last statement completely upsets the de ductions of those critics who base on the small use made of cavalry in the late camp Livia in rugged, intersected Lom bardy their opinion that this arm has lost its importance in war. Dr. Roemer says that the only real cavalry combat in that campaign took place at Solterino. From this one would be led to inter that only on that occasion did the cavalry take an important part. He is in error. It was of great service at Montebello, where eight squadrons of Pied montese cavalry by repeated charges delayed the advance of Stadion till Foray could come up. FRENCH AND ENGLISH PLEASURE SEEKERS. Speaking about excursion trains, yesterda ) , a famous railway director told me that in his opinion it would be a long time before the French would travel a long distat.ce for pleasure. English people will do the most eccentric and uncomfortable things, out of which they get an amount of enjoyment and happiness which no other people in the world c uld realise. I cannot imagine a dozen Frenchmen in all Pat being persuaded to go to Dover, land, and return to Paris six hours after, weary and sea sick. Yet English artisans will leave London and visit Boulogne under such circumstances. I myself witnessed an arrival of pale intelligent-looking Londoners at Boulogne, who had come over on an excursion occasion. On landing from a rough sea, a determined rain set in, ani nothing could be more gloomy than Boulogne and its associations that day. The excursionists broke up into groups and stood under windy doorways, laughed, joked, and got fun out of this dreary damp misfortune. They got something to eat at a very high price, bought a bottle of cheap brandy (which is made from imported English spirits), and embarked again on a rough sea for their native London. The bare narrative of that excursion told to a Frenchman would shut up all ideas of the repetition of such a trip in this country. How are the French amusing themselves to-day? They are n ot going far off. If you stroll down to the Havre Railway station at any morning hour you will find hundreds of really well-dressed people, with a large proportion of the fair sex, and some mothers with the whole family (generally at most two children, atter years of matrimonial felicity), taking their places for one of the many pleasure gardens on the banks of the Seine, within 20 minutes' railway of the capi tal. They will dine according to their means, for they knew exactly how and when to spend their money ; they will throw themselves on the grass and watch the cano!iers and canotieree—for am.,ngst the equipage are sometimes ladies. Later, the Parisian Cockney will assist at music and danc ing; and by 11 o'clock at the latest man and wife, and every conceivable relation of "parties" that can possibly exist between the sex, will be soberly and quietly returning to Paris. That is the sort of "out" the Parisians like, If, be it known, Paris is from town now, it is rich, fashionable, and foreien Paris--a class that has learned to travel since the completion of railways, and who now go further away from the capital than their provincial chateaux.—Fart's correspondent of the Morning Post. REGISTERED JUDGMENTS.—In the year ending the 31st of May, 1863, 1,417 judgments f o r sums amounting together to £997,22) were registered in the Court of Common Pleas, iu order to have the effect of being a charge upon lands the debtors might have or acquire. This is 146 fewer than in the previous year. Orders of the Court of Chancery were also re g i s t ere d , ma ki ng cal l s o n 75,200 shares in companies, and orders for the payment o annual sums amounting to £6lB,
