New Yore Times, which I had occasion to refer to ,
more than a month ago, as a thing with which the
British ministry ought to be acquainted, and which
I am now happy to find they knew of long before.
Several of the bishops, on their return from
Rome, are making triumphal entries into their
dioceses. The Archbishop of Toulouse—the same
who wanted the other day to celebrate the massacre
of the Huguenots by a jubilee—was met at the
railway station by a crowd of the faithful, among
whom were a great many ladies. The Bishop of
Nimee was received in the court of his episcopal
palace with a display of white and green mAammea,
and as he alighted from his carriage a live dove, tied
by the leg, was made, by an ingenious mechanical
contrivance, to descend upon his kneeling cushion,
or prie Dieu, the people being expected to believe,
as no doubt many of them did, that it had flown
there miraculously. There are no tricks too coarse
for the catholic clergy to resort to in these days, and
the credulity of the ignorant is encouraged by the
hypocrisy of a great many of the learned.

The particulars of the capture of Memphis
had been received at Washington from Com-
modore Davis. He states that a battle took
place between his fleet, aided by Colonel Elliot's
ram flotilla, and the Confederate fleet of eight gun-
boats and rams. The engagement commenced at
half-past five on the morning of the 6th inst., and
ended at seven, in a running fight, the end of
which was the capture of four vessels of the Con-
federate fleet, the sinking of two, and the burning
of one. One escaped by superior speed. Colonel
Elliot, who was seriously, but not dangerously,
wounded, was highly complimented for his gal-
lantry and skill. After the return of the gunboats'
from the pursuit Commodore Davis sent the follow-
ing note to the mayor of the city :

A private despatch from Cairo states the Federal
General Mitchell had routed the Confederates at
Chatanooga (Tennessee) after two days' fighting.
Reports from M'Clellan's headquarters,' dated
the 11th inst., state that the weather still con-
tinues unfavourable for military operations. It
has rained every other day for the last two weeks.
The waters of the Chickabominy have not re-
ceded, and the roads are in a terrible condition.
Letters from M'Clellan's army generally represent
that there will be some delay before the attack on
Richmond commences.

The FederalGe;ien;l Buell, with 60,000 men, is
reported at Gantown in pursuit of the Confederates
under General Polk.

The Federal General Thomas is at Corinth, reno-
vating the city to make it habitable for troops.
The Federal Generals M'Learnand and Wallace
were at Purdy with 20,000 men.
Commodore Farragut's fleet is said to have passed

According to the Memphis Avalanche all promi-
nent people have left Memphis. All the banking
institutions, with their presidents, have also left, as
well as all telegraph operators and the postmaster.

The Governor of Virginia has ordered all stores
in Richmond to be closed daily at two o'clock, to
enable these in business to devote a portion of each

The Secretary of the Treasury, in a letter to the
committee on ways and means, says that 90,000,000
of demand notes receivable for customs have been
issued, and 90,000,000 not so receivable. The
outstanding amount is therefore 150 millions. The
bank and capitalists hold 56,500,000 in demand
notes, which are not used in circulation,
in consequence of their being held at pre-
mium because they are available for cus-
toms. The whole issue of 80,000,000
de nand notes is thus practically withdrawn from
circulation. The limit of temporary deposits is now
reached. Nothing further can be expected from
that source. It is therefore upon the conversion of
United States notes into five-and-twentybundredths
now practically limited to the 90,000,000 demand
notes, and from customs receipts, that the Treasury
must mainly depend for means to meet current expen-
diture. Renee the Secretary of the Treasury asked
authority to issue 150 millions additional demand
notes, of not less denomination than 5 dole. In
accordance with this sngestion the committee of
ways and means reported the bill to Congress, and
authorising the issue of 150,000,000 additional
demand notes. The judiciary committee have
reported a bill to Congress to establish provisional
governments in rebellious States, with the recom-
mendation that the bill be passed.
General Butler has ordered the officials of the
Southern Bank to pay all the depositors upon de-
menitin such money as is directed by, and according
