NOTES OF THE WEEK.

The next 'deities from America, which may be
expected in a day or two, are looked forersrd to -
with peat interest, as we shall then, inidoutedly,
be pot in possession of the result of the great •
battle that hat been fought the armies
of Generale Hooker and at Fredericksburg.
The statement received in New York, on Tues-
day, the 15% May, just previous to the sailing
of the Persia which arrived here on Saturday,
was that—Hooker having crossed the Rappa-
hannock with • view of atteeking the Confede-
rate rear—General "Stonewall' Jackson, by •
flank movement, made • vigorous attack upon
the right wing of the Federate near Chandeliers- ,
title. General Sehart'a division, composed
principally. of Germans, was the first to feel the
shook, and Immediately gave way. No efforts
of the officers to rally their men were of any
avail, and the retreat became a rout; whole
regiments threw down their arms and fled
towards head quarters. The panic soon
extended to Geseral Devon's division, which
also broke and ran. Two brigades of
General Howard's division alone retired
to order, to the support of whom General
Hooker sent his own division, commanded by
General Berry. The united and desperate ex-
ertions of these troops, after I most sanguinary
struggle, sumeeded in checking the Confederate
advance, and prevented General Jackson from
completing his victory. This was on Saturday
afternoon. At daybreak on Sunday the Clouted-
rates again advanced, this time being Met upon
the extreme right by General Berry. The battle
raged for three hours and a half, during which
General Berry was killed. The Ifederals
then fell back, the Confederates pur-
suing. The fighting continued four hours
o when, the Federal' having suc-
ceededin getting the Confederates in
front, the maid was suspended. The eernage
on both sides is described as being eivfill, but no
numbers ire given. The battle was renewed on
both sides, bet the remit of the day's proceeding
was not not known it Washington or New York,
as the Federal Government refused to publish
the information. The probability tbetiefotie is,
that "Fighting Jos Hooker" WM, We were told,
had "determined to marbh to Richmond or perish
in the attempt," has been worsted; and this is
the more likely from the facts on the one hand,
that the Federal Government is never backward
to proclaim its victories, and on the other, that
General Lee, on Monday, received large reinforce-
ments previous to the engagement. If m the
"Great Commander," of which the Federais are
so greatly in needy hat yet to be found, and the
new advance epon the Confederate capital has
proved at disastrous as its predeoessom Another
success is attributed to the Confederates at
Morgantown, on the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road, where they captured four companies of
Militia belonging to the town. The Confederates
then proceeded to Fairmount., and engaged the
Federal' under Colonel Mulligan, who were
defending the bridge which spans the Mooogahela.
After • abort resistance the Federate were beaten,
and the bridge, the fined On that road, was
totally destroyed. The Confederates took 250 of
Colonel Mcilligani men prisoners, but the lost in
killed and wounded on either side is not given.
From Vicksburg, however, the news is still un-
favourable for the Confederates. On the 21st
ult. General Banks occupied °paleness end
Washington in Louisiana, his intention being to
proceed northward and form a junction with
Admirals Farragut and Porter and General
Grant, designing thereby the tempter issisranoe
of the Confederate line of lonintinkation for
supplies from Texas to Port Hudson. This, it
Is said, is the beeriest blow that has yet been
aimed against Vicksburg, and which/ probably,
indueed Mr. Secretary Obese to ern al., exult-
ingly, at Boston the other day, that the war was
"near its termination." This opinion, however,
is not shared in by even red-hot Federalists. In
the nothern army, we are told, the Federal cause
is looked upon as being altogether hopeless, and
thousands are most anxious to quit the retries.
In several skirmishes lately between the
Polish (usurper and the Bosnian troops, the
former have been defeated; nevertheless the in-
surrection continues to spread. The latest
telegrams inform us that an insurrection had
broken out at five different pointd of V olhymnia ;
smother at Maohnowska, in the Government of
Blew, and in the district of Winnika, in
Podolia, in the Polish provinces now incorporated
with Muria Proper, while well-armed bodies of
insurgents, with numerous cavalry, are stationed
in several parts of Podolia, Viilleymnia, and
Ulu-sines. On Wednesday last the deceptive
amnesty of the Emperor expired, and the
Martians have since been directed to treat their
adveresrics with merrier severity, and to waste
the country with fire and sword. But the
policy of extreme severity is not likely to be
more successful than that ashen) clemency, while
it cannot fail to be denounced by every nation in
Europe. In Galicia the insurgents, who have
been captured and are in confinment, have all
refused to avail themselves of the amnesty, in
spite even if the solisiations of Iranian agents.
The provisional revolutionary committee for
lithunia, also in their reply to the Imperial
Ukase, granting the arenet4 As the
object of the insurrection is not to obtain con-
. cessions from the Emperor, but to establish the
' independence of the whole of Poland within the
frontier which existed Wore its partition, the
, national struggle shall continue until the last
Muscovite soldier has been driven from these
. Polish provinces, or till the last Polish army has
t ceased to fight.'"
When a great dimmest happens at ma without
stress of weather to amount for it, all sensible
. reflections are made with a epics of becoming
, indignation on the risk of life to make • speedy
