line of battle. Smith, commanding the Irish Bri-
gade, was placed in support. The left was protected
by refusing it, the third brigade being disposed so
as to cover that flank. The formation of Gibbon's
division on the right of Barlow was similar. Tyler's
brigade (heavy artillery) holding the right, Smith's
the centre, and Owen's the left—M'Kean in rear
of Tyler's centre, in two lines. On Hancock's line
there were but few places where artillery could be
used with effect. Barlow had directed that his
attacking brigades should, previously to the assault,
be moved out, and formed just in rear of the picket
line. From this point they advanced for half a
mile through woods and over open intervals under
severe square up to the enemy's works. That por-
tion of his front where the right of Miles's brigade
joined with the left of Brooks's—the same brigades
that so brilliantly carried the famous salient
in the lines of Spottsylvania—succeed in a similar
splendid coup here; they got over and into the
enemy's parapet, capturing his guns (four light 12-
pounders), his colours, and 500 or 600 prisoners,
about 300 of whom were secured by promptly pass-
ing them to the rear. The storming column, in fact,
were just turning the enemy's guns on the retreat-
ing rebels, when powerful reinforcements from the
second rebel line appeared advancing. The first
rebel line was held by Breckiuridge's troops and
was carried, but Lee is too good a General to leave
a point so important thus weakly defended. B reek-
inridge's men were placed in the tore front to re-
ceive the baptism of fire, but behind these lay the
veterans of Hill's corps, and it is these we now se©
dashing forward to retrieva the honours we had
snatched. Barlow's brigades—stout hearts not
used to pale before the greatest odds—could have
held their own under conditions the least short of
desperation, but the situation in which they now
found themselves overleaped its limits. It
was not merely the overwhelming front that came
pressing down upon them, of that they had no fear,
but the position they had gained placed them in
advance of the whole line of battle, and gave the
rebel artillery the opportunity for a deadly enfilad-
ing fire. Besides this, they had lost the directing
heads of two of the chief commanders. Brooks and.
Byrnes, souls of courage all compact,' fell mortally*
wounded, and all the organizations had suffered
fearfully from an unparalleled loss of officers. In
this state of facts they fell back, bringing with them
the prisoners they had taken, and a captured'colour,
but not the guns. They fell back, but not to their
original position ; to a position far in advance of
that they had held, and at different points not more
than 50yards from the enemy. Here they intrenched,
and here I leave them to pass on to Gibbon's division
of the same corps on the right, and which was en-
gaged at the same time. Gibbon's advance was si-
multaneous with Barlow's, but in moving forward he
came upon one of the swamps of the Chickahominy
which had to be turned or overpassed, in the process
of which it became very difficult to establish the
connection between different parts of his line. This
overcome, however,his troops pressed forward with
tlse same vigour that marked the conduct of their
companion division on the left. Parts of the bri-
gades of Tyler and Owen gained the rebel works,
but for reasons identical with those that forced back
Barlow's troops they also were compelled to give
up what they had won. Gibbon's division, too, lost
very heavily. Gen. Tyler, before reaching the works,
was carried off zhe field, shot in the ancle. One of
his regimental commanders, Colonel Poreer, of the
Eighth New York Heavy Artillery, was killed ; im-
mediately after, Lieut.-Colonel Bates fell dead. An-
other of his regimental commanders, Col. M(Mahon
of the 164th New York, was struck while planting
his colours on the rebel works, and was
left a prisoner in the enemy's hands, his troops not
supporting him after he was wounded. Owen's
brigade lost two entire companies taken prisoners
inside of the enemy's intrenchments. In giving
way, Gibbon's division also was fir from losing all
the ground it had- gained, It took an advanced
position close to the enemy, and just over the crest,
the rearward aloe of which was held by the rebels.
This position it has retained during the day, and
3.liliean's brigade has held all day a position within
15 yards of the enemy's works. Not until thesplendid
attack of Hancock's corps bad been made, not till of ter
its blood-bought victory had been wrested from our
hands, was he or any man in this army aware of the
supreme importance of the position this morning
carried and lost. The key-point of the battle of
Gaines' Mills, two years ago, it is strange and morti-
fying that no cue should have appreciated its value.
Tbia position is a bald hill, nettled Wattshhill,
dominating the whole battle ground, and covering
the angle of the Despatch-road. Along this ridge
the rebel works formed a salient, and in front o

was a sunken road. Of this road Hancock got pos-
session, and the brigades of Miles and Brooks ac•
tually struck and carried the work directly on the
salient ! Had we he'd this point, we would have
had a position whence the entire rebel line might
have been enfiladed ; and I think it is not too much
to say that the day would have been ours, and Lee
pushed across the CLickahominy. Had we even
known in advance its commanding importance
very different dispositions for attack would have
been made ; we would have massed on the left, and
made the victory a certainty. These considerations
certainly inspire bitter regrets; but who does not
know that it is on such contingencies that the fate
of battles often hanga ? Simultaneously with the
attack of the Second Corps, the Sixth, under
Wright, connecting on the left with Hancock, made
a general advance at a quarter before 5 o'clock—
each division assaulting on the entire line. Of
this corps, the Second Division (M'Neill) held the
right, the Third Division (Rickets) the centre, and
the First Division (Russell) the left. Five batteries
under charge of the Chief of the Artillery of the
Second Corps. Colonel Tompkins—namely, Adams'
First Rhode Island Battery, Cowan's First New
York (Independent), Hahn's Third New York (In-
dependent), M'Curtin's First Massachusetts, and
Rhode's First Rhode Island were planted in good
positions and did effective service in covering the
advance. The assault of the Sixth Corrs was made
with the utmost vigour, and succeeded in carrying
the first lice of rebel rifle pits along its entire front,
and got up within 250 yards of the main works.
Smith's corps, connecting on ree right with the
Sixth, had advanced in conjunction with it; but
the left division, that of Martindale, who led the
attack in heavy, deep columns, got disarranged,
and was repulsed. General Smith made three
different attacks to relieve Martindale, but his last
supports did not get up in time to allow him to
hold on. The effect of this repulse on the left of
Smith had a disastrous effect on the position of
Wright. It uncovered the right flank of the 6th
and exposed Rickett's division, which was stoutly
holding the advanced position, to a savage fire on
the prolongation of its line. I❑ this state of facts
to retain possession of a position somewhat in ad-
vance of his point of starting was the utmost Gen.
Wright could possibly do. Operations along the
fronts of Warren and Burnside were of on impor-
tance quite subordinate to that of operations on the
left. No results were achieved except the carrying
of the line of rifle-pits occupied by the rebel skir-
mishers. The Fifth and Ninth Corps nowhere
struck the enemy's main work. Burnside kept
up a furious cannonade for some hours, but
it was nothing—vox et preterea na7cil. From
the tenor of one of Burnside's morning de-
spatches it was at one time hoped that be would
be able to turn the enemy's left, but this hope also
was doomed to disappointment.'

The Late General Dembinski,

The funeral obsequies of a man who probably was one of
the best specimens of the Polish patriot and soldier since
the time of Kosciusko, says the Paris correspondent of the
Times, took place on Wednesday afternoon in the church
of Notre Dame des Champs. Henri Perninaki *as born 80
years ago in the palatinate of Cracow. His father was De-
puty to the Diet of roland, and was one of the most ardent
supporter! of the independence of his country. Dembinski
received his military education in the Militar'y Schools of
'Vienna, and on completing hie studies was offered a com-
mission in the Austrian service. He declined it, and
joined as a private volunteer the ranks of the national army
of the grand duchy of Warsaw, and subsequently entered
the Polish Legion in the service of Franee. Ito went
through the campaign of IRI2, an' received his captain's
commission and the Cites of the Legion of Honour from
Napoleon after the battle of Smolensko. He was present
at reeipsic, where ho greatly distinguished himself. On the
fall of the Empire he returned to Poland, baffled like so
many others of his countrymen, in his hopes of the recon-
stitution of Poland as an independent State by the man
whom they had faithfully served, He was elected member
of the Diet in 1825. When the Revolution of 1830 broke
out Dembinski was named Colonel of the regiment which
he had raised in the palatinate of Cracow, and on his ar
rival at Warsaw with his meu was promoted by the Gene-
ral-in-Chief, Skrzyneck, whose-aide-de-camp he had been
when in the service of France, to the command of a bri-
gade of Lancers, at the head of which he greatly distin-
guished himself. His conduct in the affair of Ostrolenska,
the combat of Raygrod, and the successful retreat of Kurs•
eiwy (July 1831), procured for him the rank of General of
Division. On his return to Warsaw, after 26 days' con-
stant movement, during which he marched 300 leagues,
baffling when he did not beat his enemy, he was received
by the population with the greatest enthusiasm, and the
Chambers unanimously voted that Dembinski and his
army had deserved well of the country. He was soon after
named to the command-in-chief of the national army.
With a view to put a stop to the dissensions which had
broken out among the Poles, caused by their own rivalries,
and fomented by Russian agency, he aimed at a military
dictatorship—but his attempt failed—he lost his popularity,
and fell from power. When Warsaw surrendered Dem-
binski took refuge in Prussia with the remnant of Rylineki's
corps, but in consequence of the remonstrances of Prince
Paskiewitch, he was soon forced to quit the country. He
retired to Dresden, and finally took up his abode in France,
where he published an account of the campaign in Lithu-
ania. In 1833 he set out for Egypt, and took service with
Mehemet Ali. In 1835 he returned to Paris, and published
a work in the Polish language on the state and prospects
of his native country. The revolution of February caused
him once more to leave France ; he went to Breslau and
Prague, and was present at the Congress of the Slave
patriots held in those cities. He proceeded to Hungary,
and offered his services to the Maygar Government, then
menaced by the army of Windischgrata. He was appointed
by Kossuth to the command-in-chief of the insurrectionary
army, and drew up a plan of campaign, but did not succeed
in obtaining the adhesion of Georgey, whose tardiness in
joining him occasioned the lose of the battle of Kapolna on
the 28th of February, 1849. Forced to retreat behind the
Theiss, he resigned his powers, which were transferred to
Georgey. He stayed two months at Debreczin, aiding by his
counsels the Magyar Government, which had definitively
broken with Austria, He earnestly advocated the neces-
sity of uniting the cause of Hungary to that of Poland, and
urged an expedition to Galicia. His plan being rejected,
he refused to take the command of the army of the north,
but at the approach of the Russians accepted the post of
Quartermaster- General, under Messaros, who had succeeded
Georgey in the command of the army in July, 1849. The
army retreated on Szegedin, where the Government
was then installed. An engagement took place at
Szlreg on the sth of August, in which he was defeated.
He at once marched on Temesvar, and in front of that city
fought his last and unsuccessful battle with the Austro-
Russian army. The retirment of Kossuth from the Dicta-
torship and the capitulations concluded by Georgey at Vela-
gos on the 13th of August put an end to the struggle, which
indeed had long become hopeless. Dembinski, with other
chiefs, sought refuge on the Turkish territory, reached
Widden, then Shueela, and finally was claimed by the
French Embassy at Constantinople as a naturalised French-
man, He returned to France, and in 1860 fixed his abode
in Paris, where he remained till the day of his death. He
is said to have occupied the last eight years of his life in
writing a history of the war in Hungary. Dembinski was
a sincere and disinterested patriot, but kept apart to the
last from the democratic revolutionists, with whom he never
had the slightest sympathy, Ho was greatly respected,
and is regretted by all who had the advantage of knowing
him.

got on Mes,./ay to ,oneldct the Glasgow Union Railway
Bill, Sir A. Orr in the chair.

Mr WAINWRIGHT, the secretary, having read the notice
convening the meeting,

The CHAIRMAN explained that the directors highly ap-
proved the measure, which they considered very important
to the company. The directors had made very satisfactory
arrangements for station accommodation and for working
over the proposed line, which would establish a communi-
cation between the railways on the north and smith of the
Clyde. The company's present station in Glasgow was
very incomplete and inadequate for their increasing traffic ;
but by the proposed scheme they would get into a very ad-
mirable central station in one of the best places in Glasgow.
The Glasgow -Union Itailway when constructed would be
of immense benefit to the city of Glasgow and to the rail-
ways having their termini in it, both on the north and
south of the Clyde. He concluded by moving a formal
resolution approving the Bill.
Mr J, LUMSOEN seconded the motion.

Mr W. AULD objected to subscribing.£2so,ooo towards
the undertaking, but after a very long discussion and ex-
planations by the cnairman in favour of the measure the
resolution approving the Bill was adopted.

we come in" bee been exultant and mysterious.
‘1..05i:7 the rept?tt is that a rote condemning Ministe-
rial meddling Jo to' he tee'opotted, then there is a word
of a resolution distinctly in fereotar of Denolarkt end
and anon Mr. Disraeli has an idea that the Napo-
leonic Congress was a magnificent thought. it has
all come to nothing. Upon the great question of
the hoar, the defemce of a little Power against dis-
memberment by two great Powers, the Tory leaders
hate no policy to propose. They and their chief
assert very boldly that all that has been done is
merely " meddle and muddle," but they neither
propose to leave off meddling nor allow us any clear
certainty that had they been in power the muddling
would have been avoided, They know perfectly
well that if Louis Napoleon will go forward so will
the Whig Foreign Secretary, and as that is pre-
cisely their own idea they have nothing to say, ex.
cept that the Emperor might with a little tact have
been kept in better temper. That assertion may be
a sound political criticism, but it is not precisely a
policy, and what more definite course has Lord
Derby yet ventured to suggest? Apart from this
great question there is nothing afoot which can
heal the schism permanently produced by the pre-
sence of Mr. Disraeli, If Lord Derby asks his fol-
lowers to vote simply that they have no confidence
in Lard Palmerston, fifty of them retort that they
have less in the astute member for Buclee. Yet the
Tory chief cannot, even if inclined, throw his lieu-
tenant over, and without these fifty his majority is
very far from assured. The old sore is unhealed as
ever, and there is no healing it, and so the Ministry
stumbles on, doing as little as possible, and the Op-
position follows after, criticising as much as is pos-
sible without incurring the risk of action, and the
nation watches and begins to doubt whether prin■
ciple is, after all, at the bottom of the struggle for
office, as it has always been told. The Tories may
come in any day by virtue of an accidental
majority, a victory they could not decline,
or a rumour they could not refuse to hear;
but for a planned and final assault the Opposi-
tion, numerically strong as it may be, allows itself
still too weak. Of course in such a condition of
affairs the influence of England abroad is for the
moment gone. Her Government is only strong when
a distinct line of action meets with the approval of
Parliament, and at present the evil of the weakness
of the Opposition is that neither approval nor disap-
proval can be made manifest. The leaders are afraid
to demand a distinct verdict, and Parliament there.
fore remains conscious of nothing except an indis-
tinct dislike to all that is going on,—to seeing
Denmark dismembered, to hearing Heir von Bis-
mark exult, to any line of conduct which might
prevent either of those annoyances. The Ministry
hunts for middle paths, suggests lines of partition
just north of the Dannewerke, tries to believe in
universal suffrage, or asks whether arbitration may
not do, and the Opposition, liking none of those
things, is still afraid to oppose any. A vote of want
of confidence distinctly rejected would deprive their
accidental victories of all value, and they cannot
risk the battle except on some point on which the
schism in their own ranks will be unfelt. Conse-
quently they wait on, and the Ministry unopposed
at home becomes more and more powerless abroad,
till it seems almost certain that Conference will rise
with nothing determined, and a campaign recom-
mence which must either develop into a conquest
or a European war; but which will in either case
leave on us the stain of inability to protect an ally
on whose behalf we had threatened the only Power
bound by permanent interests to ourselves.
THE " EXAMINER" ON THE YELVERTON CASE.
—The facts (to the common-place mind) would
warrant the supposition that Mrs. Teresa Yelverton
went, as she affirms, to Edinburgh with the fair
hope and expectation of her betrothal ending in
marriage. She took with her an elderly lady, and a
young lady even younger than herself, as companions,
and she proceeded to occupy with these friends a
small apartment, all the rooms of which communi-
cated. She did not receive Mej.Yelverton in the even-
ings she did not receive him alone in the daytime.
Her conduct was perfectly consistent with the idea
that she was (as the landlady assumed) receiving
decently and with propriety a respectable suitor, a
gentleman and her equal. If she had desired, as
suggested (nay, insisted on) by Major Yelverton's
counsel, to come to Edinburgh merely to cohabit
with him, what on earth was to prevent her from
taking a lodging or apartments in that city or the
suburbs, without occupants ? Why encumber her-
self voluntarily with witnesses of her irregular and
vicious course of life ? Why have ladies to stay
with her and embarrass her communications with
her lover ? Why not merely one of those small
"flats," as they are called in the modern Athens,
where a drawing-room and bedroom, or three small
rooms, often constitute the who!e allotment of space,
utterly divided by the staircase from the higher
and lowtr flats ? There no one could have pre•
vented her receiving whom she pleased for as many
hours as she pleased, and there could be no after
inquiry, nor after denials, such as " all la.idladies"
make under the circumstances. It is (Astons, if
only from that fact alone, namely, the arrange-
ment as to lodging made by Mrs. Teresa Yelverton
that she did not expect the misfortunes which have
overtaken her " like a summer cloud" when she first
went, glad and hopeful, to meet Major Yelverton
in Scotland. " Sei la ben venuta !" says he, in the

odd, ungrammatical Italian which both parties oc-
casionally employ in their love-letters. " I did
write her a small sentence in Italian to that effect,"
says Major Yelverton in his former examination.
The smallness of the sentence appears to him a
point for consideration. Like the maiden lady who
was accused of having twins, and was defended
on the plea that she had had but one, and that a
very puny one,—the Major thinks too much stress
should not be laid on a welcome so briefly ex-
pressed. " A small sentence in Italian !" Contra-
dicting, it is true, all his assertions that his "Pur-
suer" found out his address without his knowledge,
and came without his knowledge, and came without
his sanction ; but so short, so insignificant, such a
nothing of a sentence to build a foundation upon!
Still the briefest and simplest sentences have a
meaning, and the deuce of it is, that by no possible
intepretation can " Welcome !" be made to mean
"Keep off!"
THE " READER" ON THE UNPOPULARITY OF
GREAT BRITAIN ABROAD.—Great Britain, it seems,
is at this moment extremely unpopular with all the
rest of the world. By some of the great Powers she
is absolutely detested, others are unusually cold in
their estimates of her, and the one or two that are
still kindly to her as a nation are sad on account of
her present statesmaeship. Such at least is the re-
port from all quinine, and there seem to be corro-
borations of its truth. Neither of the two Powers

now at war with each ottief in America is satisfied
with the conduct of Great Britain in reference to

their struggle, and the feeling of the Federels tcl
wards her is one of notual bitterness, On the Con

tinent, for some time past, but more especially since
the war between the Germans and the panes began,
there has been a universal pointing of finge.ts, with
hisses or other unflattering expressions, towards
our tight little island. We have been snubbed by
Russia for our officiononess in the matter of Poland,

without any compensation in the way of respect or

gratitude from the Poles. In France the selfishness
and insular narrowmindness of Britain are at pre-

sent the favourite themes of journalists. As to Ger
many—why there, it is said, we are in such die-
favour on account of oar behaviour in the Schleswig
Holstein business that English tourists are every-
where, throughout the German States, received

with the cola shoulder, and are even in risk of
insult. The statement has been contradicted.

but it has been made and repeated EO strongly that
it is impossible to suppose it wholly false. And thee,
in poor little Denmark, where they do love us for
the sympathy so generally shown among us for their

cause, they are sorely disappointed thit our sym-
pathy has been b 0 barren of aught save words. In
short, if there never has been a time when Britain
was generally popular with other nations, she seems
at present to be exceptionally unpopular all round.

THE "LONDON REVIEW" ON METROPOLITAN
HORSE-COPERS.—Amongs the mysteries of horse-
flesh is the noble science of coping, and its practi-
tioners the borse•eopers. These individuals prac-
tise fraud as a trade, and in order to do so they are
obliged to pass through an apprenticeship as severe
as that undergone by Fagan's school of young pick-
pockets. Your accomplished horse-toper
must
possess a shrewd knowledge of men to begin with,
and secondly he must know horse flesh well, espe-
ei illy that portion of it in which he deals—the
genus screw. He must be to his charges what
Madame Rachel is to her old dowagers—able to
restore them to youth and make them "beautiful
for ever," or at least for the half hour during which
it is necessary the screw should put in a good ap-
pearance before his purchaser. The horses upon
which topers operate are generally nags, such as
hunters, roadsters, and carriage horses. They are
known under certain slang names, such as " the
Adam," an aged horse; " the strong wid," one with
broken wind ; the "piper," one slightly affected in
his wind; the " knock," a lame horse; the
bobby," a chinked backed horse. These animals
are generally showy-looking creatures, being selected
for their handsome appearance and sprightly
looks by the coper, just as a bright palmer fly is se-
lected for trout fishing, and many of these horses
remain the stock in trade of the same eopers for
years, as they generally contrive to repurchase them
of their dupes, by the aid of confederates, a few
days after the sale, for the mere value or the hides
and hoofs. The getting-up of these old screws is
the first care of the coper when they come into his
hands. "The Adam," for instance, has to be re-
juvenated, and in order to accomplish this he has to
undergo three processes—bishoping, gypping, end
puffiing his glims. The first is the method of imitat-
ing the mouth-marks of A young horse, so called

after the name of the original rogue who put it is
practice. All old horses have their incisor teeth of
an immence length, and they always slant out at a
most acute angle; to do away with this mark of
antiquity they are filed down to about the ordinary
length of A fiveeyear-old, and the dark ma,-ks which
are always present in these teeth in young horses
are made with a red hot iron, and, by the aid of B"
graving tool, encuth-marks are engraved, so as tc"
imitate nature. The few grey hairs which are
scattered about the animal are all reduced to the
general colour by means of a paete corresponding is
that tint with that of the natural coat, a
process
termed gypping. Finally, those deep indentations
which appear over the eyes of all ancient animals
are obliterated by pricking the skin in different:.
paces, and blowing air into the cavity underneath°.
The holes immediately close, and a smooth browke
obtained, which is not easily detected. The maetiP'
is just as effective, and perhaps more so, to me"F.
novices in horse flesh, than is that of the toilet 0--
many passe ladies who manage to make a good
market in the world. " The Knock," or lame horse,
an incurable screw, afflicted with disease of the
navicular joint, or shoulder lameness, neither
which make any outward show, is a great favourite
for horse-coping purposes, as he is often a fine look—
ing animal. The manner in which the lameness if'
disguised is to take off the shoe from the sound foot,
place a pebble or horse bean between it and the
sole of the foot, and nail it on again. A correspond
ing lameness is thus produced in both feet, and by
this means the original defect is masked. It mess
seem strange that a double lameness should be less
apparent than single lameness, but we are so give"
to judge simply by comparison, that uniformity'
baffles us, or, at least, it generally does those in"'
parienced persons who are fond of relying upon their
own judgment, and consequently fall an easY pre,"
to this class of swindlers. When a man knows only
a little of horseflesh, it is remarkable how 1)066"
he is, and how proud of relying upon his own an
aided judgment in making his purchases. This the
coper knows full well, and takes advantage Of it.
" The Bobby," or chinked backed horse, is anoth",
favourite flat-catcher. To all appearance, even t,(1)
the most experienced eye, he is perfectly sound and
goes with splendid action, and it is only when beile
mounted that the weak place in his spine is detected'
or by pinching with the fingers and thumb carefully
down the vertebrae.
