" General ;Forey refused to comply with these
propositions, and replied that if in a few hours the
city was not given up he would resume the bom-
bardment.
"At five o'clock in the afternoon an officer
brought a letter from General Ortega to General
Forey, announcing that he was ready to surrender
unconditionally with hie troops. Colonel Manique,
the officer in command of General Forey's staff,
was then detached, with the Ist battalion of Foot
Chasseurs, Commander Corey, and a platoon of
Hussars, for the purpose of occupying the place.
The entrance of the troops took place in an orderly
manner, and without any casualty on either side.
" At 11 o'clock on the morning of the 19th Gen.
Foray made his entrance imto Pueblo, and was sa-
luted by a volley of 101 guns. On the same day
General Bazaine had made his preparations for an
advance on the city of Mexico, and was to start on
the following morning.
" During the nights of the 7th and Bth May Gen.
Comonfort, who had abandoned his position in order
to march to the assistance of Gen. Ortega, was sur-
prised by General Bazaine at 2 a.m. A brisk en-
gagement ensued, in which Comonfort lost 8 rifled
guns, 20 artillery waggons, 200 mules, and 2,500
men, most of whom were made prisoners."
The following is translated from the Diario de
la Marina of Havana of May 26 --
" On the Bth inst. General Comonfort, who had
received reinforcements, attempted to attack the
French in the rear, and was confronted by Gen.
Bazaine's division, which, as we have been in-
formed, completely routed their opponents. The
battle took place at San Lorenzo. Gen. Comonfort
lost 2,500 men in killed, wounded, and prisoners,
seven or eight pieces of rifled cannon, and the
greater part of his arms and munitions. It seems
that the principal object of Comontort's attack was
to cover the entrance into Puebla of a large convoy
of provisions and ammunition.
" General ,Forey had received a portion of the
heavy artillery which he had been expecting, and
on the 16th he had a battery mounted in front of
the fort of Totimehuacan, one of the strongest in
Puebla. His artillery was brought into play this
day, and by the 17th a breach was effected. General
Forey then ordered an assault ; but all resistance
soon ceased, and the French army having entered
into the city, General Ortega surrendered uncondi-
tionally with all his forces.
" Besides the general-in-chief, 23 generals, 900
officers, and 17,000 soldiers were also made prisoners.
The whole of the artillery of the city also fell into
the hands of the French, and all the ammunition,
arms, &c.
" On the 20th a division of the French army
marched for Mexico. There would be left in Puebla
only the garrison necessary to prevent the raids of
guerillas, and the whole of the other forces would
also march for the capital."

The Northern IVhig of this morning says that
the Heroine, one of the steamers plying between
that port and Bangor, has been sold to an agent of
the Confederate Government.

THE NAVY.

VALETTA, June 6.—Since I wrote on the 3d inst.
no movements of any Lind have taken place among
the ships of war in port. Rear-Admiral Austen has
assumed the command in the absence of the Com-
mander-in-Chief, and the red flag has consequently
taken the place of the blue on board the different
ships. Rear-Admiral Yelverton's
flag (blue) flies
on board the Revenge, 73, Capt. C. Fellowes. The
Meeanee, 60, Capt. G. Wodehonse, is the only other
line-of-battle ship in
port. Both of these vessels
will shortly proceed for a cruise. The Wanderer,
4, Commander M. C. Seymour, will leave to-morrow
for Corfu with the overland mail for the Comman-
der-in-Chief. The Alacrity, 4, Commander J.
Baird, will go home in a few days to be paid off.
The Cockatrice, 2, Lieut.-Commander Gillsom, will
leave to-morrow for Constantinople. The other
ships in port are the Hibernia, receiving ship, bear-
ing the flag of Rear-Admiral H. T. Austen, C. 8.,
the Caradoc, 2, the Medina, 4, and the tenders
Boxer and Growler. Foreign—Egyptian steam-
frigate Feizi-Gilhad. Brigadier-General Atherley
arrived the day before yesterday by the Peninsular
and Oriental Company's steamer Delta from Eng-
land, to replace Brigadier-Gen. Bates in the com-
mand of the 2d Brigade. The following also arrived
by the Delta for Malta :—Lieut. G. Hawkins, Lieut.
Cunningham, Lieut. N. E. Sharp, Capt. Stephens,
Ensign Graves, R. W. F., and Mr. Brown, R.N.
Accounts from Athens of the 30th state that in con-
sequence of rumoured disturbances on the Turkish
frontier, her Majesty's corvette Pelican, 17, Com-
mander P. Brook, had been sent to visit Stylida,
Larnica, and the Gulf of Velo. Guards of armed
citizens continued to patrol the streets of Athens
after nightfall. Her Majesty's corvette Icarus, 11,
Commander N. Salmon, VC., arrived at the Piraeus
on May 28 from Malta."

IRELAND.

DUBLIN, June 13.

It has often been a matter of regret that Dublin,
notwithstanding its rank as the second city in the
United Kingdom, with its increasing population
and wealth, has not contained any institution in
which the citizens might meet for the enjoyment
of rational amusement blended with instruction.
It has no gardens or place of public assembly,
no central point of attraction and interest to all
classes, where they could meet, attend concerts,
hear lectures, &c, The only buildings available for
such purposes are the Rotunda, which is inconve-
niently situated—far at the north side of the city,
from which the tide of fashion has long receded ;
and the Metropolitan-hall, a smaller building, let by
a company, chiefly for religious objects, and used
on Sunday as a place of religious worship. Tnese
buildings, being private property, are let at a high
rate, and they are wholly inadequate to meet the
wants of the city, even if their situation were more
central. But at the south side of the Liffey, in which
direction the city is rapidly increasing, and where the
enterprising and progressive portion of the commu-
nity are, for the most part, located, there is no
large hall or place of meeting whatever avail-
able for the public. The exhibitions of various kinds
in the house of the Royal Dublin Society, the con-
certs of musical societies, and the reunions of dif-
ferent bodies, which have been rather frequent of
late, have created a very widely-felt want for such
an institution as a permanent exhibition building
and a winter garden. To supply this want a com-
pany was recently formed, and a piece of ground,
south of Stephen's-green, called the Coburg-gardens,
and the Hutchinson estate, which became the
property of Mr. Benjamin Lee Guinness, has been
purchased, walled in, and partly laid out for a win-
ter garden. Yesterday the Lorkl-Lieutenant, in the
presence of many of the chief men of the city, and
a large concourse of spectators, laid the first stone
of the buildings. They will comprise a winter
garden, where horticultural exhibitions and prome-
nades may be held, a concert-hall suitable for the
production of the works of the great masters with
an effect hitherto unattainable in this city, a
smaller concert-hall adapted for the musical so-
cieties of Dublin, a gallery for the exhibition
and sale of pictures, a department for the dis-
play of manufactures and useful arts, a polytech-
nic museum and theatre for lectures on popular
subjects, the whole to be placed in the midst of
ornamental pleasure grounds, in which the skill of
the landscape gardener will be displayed. The com-
pany has been founded on sound commercial prin-
ciples, and the address to the Lord-Lieutenant, read
by Mr. Parkinson, the secretary, stated that the
capital had been subscribed in a short time by up-
wards of 600 shareholders, including, among per-
sons of every rank, the Duke of Leinster, who fills
the office of phairman, Mr. Guinness, vice-chairman,
who gave the greater portion of the land on the most
advantageous terms, and Mr. Dargan, whose mas-
ter mind is the mainspring of progress in Dublin
and its vicinity. The address concluded by stating
that it was a subject of much congratulation that
the building was to be commenced by a nobleman
who has always given a helping hand to instita-
tions calculated to advance the social condition of
the people of Ireland, and has in this instance given
a marked pro6f of interest by becoming a share-
holder in the company.l can assure

municipal, and commercial structures which rise
on every aide of us, one spot should be set apart for
bringing rational and refined entertainment within
the reach of all classes, and adding to the public
stock of blameless amusement. It will, indeed,
be the best, though we do not wish it'
to be the only reward of the friends and patrons
of this enterprise, when they shall be enabled to see
large 'numbers of their fellow citizens, with their
wives and families, issuing perhaps from humble

beauties of nature and the treasures of art. The list

.The Limerick Reporter of this day contains the
following important additional information relative
to the murder of Mr. Jackson. Among the papers
destroyed were, no doubt, the securities for debts
due by his murderers:—
" ft, is said confidently that there could not have been
less than £4(10 about the person of the deceased and in his
house on the morning of the murder. Of this sum not
one shilling was to be seen on the day the body was found.
Search was made in the safe or strong box in which Mr.
Jackson kept his money, but there was no money in it.
Search was made in the drawers and desks in which he was
accustomed to keep his accounts, and there were no accounts
to be found since 1861. For the years 1862 and 1863 there
were no accounts whatever found. Search was also made
for other matters connected with the business-of the-house
land estate, but they were not forthcoming,"
The B eporter observeo
-
"It is a•most extraordinary and. astounding fact that such
is the state of the case. Thu murder was perpetrated on
Thursday morning. Daring the entire of that day the mur-
derer must have had time to complete his intention of mak-
ing a clean robbery of the victim of the bloody deed, and
that this was done seems pretty clear. There Inuit have
been some robber in the house; in the dark and dismal in-
terval he must have taken the money, and he must have
disposed of the accounts. Mr. Jackson did not take any,
with the exception of the money he had about him. Among
the latest arrests is that of the cook, who is said to have ut-
tered some expressions which, if unexplained, would go to
demonstrate that she had some idea that evil was about to
befall her master."

The blocks are being prepared on No. 7 slip, at
Chatham dockyard, for laying down a large iron-
clad frigate, one of the new class of armour-plated
ships ordered by the House of Commons to be con-
structed at the various R'yal dockyards, the whole
of which will be built from designs submitted to the
Admiralty by Mr. E. I. Reed. The slip on which
the new vessel is to be constructed is the only one
at Chatham dockyard whicia has facilities for build-
ing armour-plated vessels. No orders have yet been
received at Chatham as to the description of vessel
intended to be built on the other vacant slip at the
dockyard, but it is probable that one of the squad-
ron of wooden ships of a new class which are to be
built at that establishment, as opportunities arise,
will be shortly commenced under the vacant shed.
The Esk, 20 gun screw corvette, Capt. Hamilton,
made her official trial of speed at the measured mile
in Stokes-bay on Friday, under the superintendence
of Capt. H. Broadhead, of her Majesty's ship Asia,
prior to leaving Spithead for foreign service. She
drew 16ft. 4in. of water forward, and 18ft. 2in. aft ;
was complete in stores of all kinds for sea, and
had 270 tons of coal on board. Six runs
at the measured mile with full boiler power
gave results consecutively as follows ;-10.315,
8.181, 10146, 8, 10.975, and 7.875 knots ; the
mean speed of the six runs being 9415 knots.
The maximum revolutions of the engines were 70
and the minimum 68, with a 201 b. pressure of
steam and 24 inches vacuum. With half-boiler power
four runs were made at the mile, the speed of the
ship in each case being 9.218, 7.453, 8'683, and
6.977 knots, the mean speed of the ship during the
four runs being 8.2 knots. To test the engines they
were stopped in seven seconds from the time of
moving the telegraph, were started ahead under
the same conditions in 10 seconds, and were moved
astern in 18 seconds. The screw the Esk is now
using is a common or Admiralty pattern, having a
diameter of 12 feet, a pitch of 9 feet 8 inches, and a
length of 3 feet. At the conclusion of the trials the
Esk again anchored at Spithead, but, being under
sailing orders, will leave for her destination as early
as possible.
The Charger gunboat is ordered to proceed from
Portsmouth to the Thames, where it will be placed
in Messrs. Young and Magnay's dock, and fitted
by

Mr. Curtis, of London, and from which great results
