Telgrams to the Richmond Whig.

MOBILE, May 25.
A special despatch, dated Jackson, May 24 (Sun-
day), says firing was heard till nine o'clock this
morning. No report of artillery has been beard
since that hour. This morning the 20th Mississippi
Regiment (mounted) dashed into Raymond, cap
turing 400 prisoners. Fourteen have been brought
to this city ; the rest, being sick or wounded, were
paroled.

JACKSON, May 25.
An officer, who left Vicksburg on Tuesday morn-
ing at ten o'clock, says the enemy attacked our left
and centre four times. ThP first attack lasted 30,
the second 20, the third 15, and the fourth nine
minutes, and they were repulsed each time. Oar
loss was 80 men. When the column of assault was
brought up on Wednesday the officers leading the
troops broke, and the column disappeared. On
Thursday the enemy were engaged in shelling our
entrenchments. Our works towards Warrenton
have not been menaced. The Federal line of in-
vestments is imperfect. Same of the prisoners
taken report that Gen. Steele was killed.

WASHINGTON, May 29.

Despatches from General Grant, dated near
Vicksburg, May 25, have been received at the War
Department to-day.

They represent the siege of Vicksburg as progress-
ing satisfactorily, and that General Grant is abun
dantly able to maintain his investment of the town
and repel any attack upon his rear.

Forty-five hundred rebel prisoners, captured by
General Grant, arrived at Memphis to-day.
IN THE FIELD, NEAR VICKSBURG,
May 23. 9 p.m.
There has been no fighting today.
The troops are resting from yesterday's assault.
Our repulse was complete in all parts of the line.
No discouragement need be entertained of our
final success.

We are intrenching ourselves and building rifle
pits.

Cavalry have been sent out towards Canton to
ascertain the whereabouts of General Johnston'.

forces.
Oar loss yesterday was not far from one thou-
sand.

MEMPHIS, May 27.
On Friday the Federal forces were repu!sed at
Vicksburg.
The steamer City of Memphis, which left the
vicinity of Vicksburg on Monday last, arrived here
to-day, and reports General Grant as having cap-
tured every rebel redoubt.

At one place it was necessary, owing to the
steepness of the hill, to scale it with ladders.
General Hovey led the assault.

The rebels rolled their shells down the hill at the
Unionists which exploded among them, making
fearful havoc.

The fighting was going on furiously when the
City of Memphis left.
The Union losses are said to be very heavy.
The steamer Sultana, from Young's Point, is re-
ported lost.

CAIRO, May 29.
•
Advices from Vicksburg are to the afternoon of
lie 26th.

No fighting had taken plaee since Monday,

Tne position of the army is said to be changed,
MTherson's corps holding the extreme left and
M'Clernand the centre, while Sherman still holds
the right.

Five or six thousand prisoners are expected to
arrive at Memphis to-day.

General Johnston is reported to be at Jackson
with 15,000 men. The rebels also hold Big Black
river bridge,

Adjutant-General Thomas passed through Cairo
to-day, en route to Louisville. He is very sick—so
much so, that it is thought that he will have to
abandon his labours in the West for the present.

ST. LOUIS, May 29

A special despatch from Memphis, dated the 28th
inst., says that the first lot of wounded from Gen.
Grant's army had arrived there. Among them are
Colonel Masvendy, Lieutenant Colonel M.Auley,
and Captain Seeher, of the 11th Indiana, and Lieu-
tenant-Colonel Barton, of the 24th Indiana Regi-
ment.
The 11th and 12th Indiana Regiments lost about
250 men each.
General Joe Jackson is rapidly receiving rein-
forcements in the vicinity of Jackson, with the in-
tention of attacking General Grant in the rear.

General Johnston is reported to have said that it
Vi..ksburg should hold out for 15 days he wouia
throw 100,000 troops into it, it it required th© re-

.

linqnishment of every foot of territory in his de-
partment to effect it.

CINCINNATI, May 29, 1863.
General Banks is reported as coming up the
Mississippi river.

The rebels report that General Chee+ham and
Featherstone were wounded in the Mississippi
fight, and that Gen. Johnston is massing a large
force at the Black river bridge.
MURFREESBORO, TENN, May 28.

Reports from highly respectable sources repre-
sent that General Grant, since Sunday, had made
something like a general attack upon the rebel
works at Vicksburg, and failed to carry them ; that
he had thereupon concluded that the place was
too strong to be taken by assault, and had opened
a terrible and sustained fire upon it with his
artillery.

General Johnston had not yet attacked General
Grant, but was still collecting forces in his rear.
He had managed to send word to the garrison that
if they should hold out for 15 days he waild raise
the siege with an army of 160,000 men. He also
said he would do this if he abandoned every other
point in his department.

It was not supposed the city could possibly hold
out longer than to-day.
Parties who entered our lines to-day from the
South report that Breckinridge and Crother's divi-
sions of Bragg's army were on their way south.
Al, is quiet at this point. The rumours of a for-
midable rebel demonstration on our right are hardly
confirmed. Some portion of the enemy's vidette
tine has been retired.

Brigadier General Harding has tendered his re-
signation on account of disability.

SOUTHAMPTON, JUNE 11.

The North German Lloyds' steamship Bremen,
Captain Meyer sailed hence last evening, with 358
passengers, the German, French, and English
mails, jewellry from France, value 69,420 francs,
and 956 tons of general merchandize on freight.
The Hansa, belonging to the same company,
arrived at New York at 3 p.m. on the 25th ult, all
well, and is expected off Cowes on the 17th inst.,
with the mails from New York of the 6th,

MEXICO.
REPORTED CAPTURE OF PUEBLA.
NEW YORK, June 1.

The Dario, of Havannah, announces the arrival
of the French steamer Daria, with despatches from
Gen. Forey to the Emperor Napoleon, announcing
the capture of Puebla on May 17, and the uncondi-
tional surrender of Gen. Ortega and the garrison.
Gen. Forey is said to have captured the Mexican
Commander-in-Chief, 23 generals, 900 officers, and
7,000 privates.

One division of the French army had started for
Mexico.

ANTHROPOLOGICAL SOCIETY.

At the ordinary meeting of this society on Tuesday
evening--Dr. Hunt, the president, in the chair—it was an-
nounced that Mr. Reid had presented to the society a num-
ber of objects from the Gamboon, in equatorial Africa, and
that among them was the most perfect skin of a gorilla
that ha, yet been received in this country. Mr. Pendyche
also presented to the society some human bones and a
diminutive skull, found near Cambridge, in digging for
coprolites. A large collection of human skeletons has been
discovered in that neighbourhood, the jawbones of which
present the same peculiarity of construction as that of the
celebrated jawbone found at Abbeville, and it is conjectured
that the bodies were interred after some battle between the
Romans and ancient Britons.

A paper was then read by Mr. Charnock " On the Science
of Language." Mr. Charnock, in a very elab rate and able
paper, disputed the opinions of Professor Max Muller re-
specting the origin of languages, and he contended that the
Aryan theory, which supposes that all languages were de-
rived from a single one, is inconsistent with the period
usually assigned to the existence of man, as there could not
have been time, between the date of the assumed origin of
man and known historical records, to have produced the
changes of language then exis'ing. Mr. Charnock noticed
the absurd notions that have been entertained by various
nations respecting the origin of language, and the various
sources to which languages are attributed. He inclined to
the opinion that the languages now spoken must have
originated from many sources, and the statistics of lan
guage tend to confirm that view, for they show that the
number of words in each widely differ, some of them—and
those of the less civilised nations—being five and six times
more numerous than others

Dr. HUNT, though generally agreeing with the author of
the paper, thought there was ample time to have effected
any change of language. Geologists, he said, had recently
proved that man had been living on the earth at a far more
distant period than had been previously assumed. There
was, indeed, an unlimited supply f time, and philologists
might help themselves to as mu h of it as they required.
He differed from Professor Max Miflier's opinion that
language is the distinctive mark of separation between man
and brutes, for he contended that the lower animal possess
the power of communicating their ideas to each other by
articulate sounds.

The Due de ROUSILLON considered that langufige serves
to indicate similarity of races, and that by the names of places
the course of the migration of different tribes may be traced.
In this manner, he said, he could trace that the Catalans of

the Pyrenees, who speak wivit is called the Romanesque
language, migrated from the Himalayan mountains, in
Upper Ldits. The roots of 500 words are the same in both
languages, and 1,000 other w,rds bear a close resemblance;
and he asserted that the names given to many places indi-
cated the route by which the migration was effected. The
Due de Itoubillon, who is engaged in brining out a volu-
minous philological work, entered into a consideration of
the compusition of languages from various dialects, and
contended that all known languages have been constructed
by a combination of different dialects spoken in the same
countries.

The discussion was continued by Mr. Bouverie Pusey,
Mr. Prideaur., Mr. Carter Blake, and other gentlemen,
several of whom agreed with the president's opinion, that
all animals have the power of speech.
The meeting then adjourned till the 7th of July.

A race of 100 yards for £25 came off on Friday
last at the Ash encampment between Capt. Herbert,
Coldstream Guards, and a private named Kent, of the
Fus Tiers, the officers of the latter regiment having made
the challenge. At first the captain's backers were rai her
doubtful of their favourite, it being well known amongst
them that his opponent had appeared frequently in public
on similar occasions. As the time for the raco approached,
and whin the two rivals came on the ground, the con-
fidence of the captain's supporters was greatly strength-
ened by his muscular and well. knit fie ure, in praise of
which too much could scarcely be said, considering that he
had not been in training. 1-I(mt ever, when the preliminary
canters were taking place, hopes again decidedly felt by the
undoubted professional appearance, both in figure and style
of running, of his opponent, who certainly justifi,d the good
opinion of his backers. The result of this was that Kent
became a greater favourite than before, and was backed at 3
to 2, the betting hNving previously been even. Atter six or
seven false starts they got away well together, and remained
so for about 50 yards, when the captain came to the front,
and won easily by three yards, amidst the cheers of the offi-
cers and men of his regiment.

GOOD FORTUNE.—A poor woman presented her-
self at the savings bank in Thomas-street, on Satur-
day evening last, for the purpose of depositing therein the
sum of M. Twenty shillings she paid down in silver,
together with two notes—one a local 20s. note, and the other
as she supposed, of equal value. • The managers of the
bank, on seeing the latter, rightly imagined there was some
mistake on the woman's part, and asked her how much she
thought she was about to deposit. She replied £3. The
reader may judge of her astonishment on being told that
one of the notes was an Australian bank bill for £5OO, and
not a 20s. Manx note. The woman, it is needless to say,
left the bank overjoyed with the intelligence.—Manx Sun.
NATIONAL METROPOLITAN MONUMENT TO
SHAKESPEARE.—On Tuesday evening, June 30, we
see by our advertising columns that a grand Melange Dra-
matique will be given at the Theatre Royal, Drat.) -lane,
for tne purpose of aiding a fund, now being raised, to erect
a metropolitan monument to Shakespearct This perform-
ance is under the immediate patronage of their Royal
Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales, and will be
assisted at by some 60 of the most eminent and popular
London artists ; altogether forming a galaxy of talent,
rarely if ever before congregated in one night's entertain-
ment. All honour to the worthy president of this band of
brothers, William Charles Macready, Esq., and to the poor
players who thus come fora ard to evince their gratitude to
the great master of the passions, who was not only the
founder of their art, but whose works are the toundation.
&the English tongue. We feel certain the public gene-
rally need but have their attention drawn to this event to
flock by thousands to the standard wttich is graced by the
name of the noblest subject of the Crown—the Prince of
Wales. Mr. Adolphus Francis, of 43, Cumberland-street,
Hyde Park, is the persevering honorary secretary to the
movement, and will be glad of any co-operation that the
enthusiastic lovers of the Bard of Avon may feel it incum-
bent on them to show. We may just add, the box-office at
the theatre will be open on the 20th inst., but in the mean-
time tickets may be obtained on applying by letter to the
hon. seer" tary. Private boxes from two to fourteen guineas;
stalls, 10s. 6d. ; dress circle, Os ; first circle, 4s. ; second
circle, 3s. ; pit, 35. ; being most judiciously kept at a mode-
rate figure.

Ir ONE Y MARKET

AND
COXMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The business transactions in the general discount
market show that the demand is well maintained,
and the rates continue firm.
The failure has been announced of Messrs. John
Wilson, jun. and Co., Russian merchants, of Old
troad-street, with liabilities estimated et below
£40,000. Their suspension has been produced by
the stoppage of Messrs. Dye and Co., of St. Peters.
burg, for whom they were agents in this coantry.

At the second ordinary general meeting of the
Westminster Brewery Company, held to-day, the
directors proposed that a dividend of 6 per cent, per
annum, free of income-tax, be paid out of the avail.
able balance of £3,950.
About £77,000 in gold was taken into the Bank
yesterday.

The North American, from New York, has ar-
rived with 111,800.

The prospectus has appeared of the Adelaide
(North Arm) Port and Railway Extension and
Land Company, South Australia, witt a capital of
£400,000, the first issue of which will comprise
10,000 shares of £2O each. It is proposed to con-
struct about 2,000 feet of wharf frontage, where ves-
sels of the largest tonnage may lay alongside, and to
erect wharves, warehouses, and other conveniences,
affording ample accommodation to the shipping re-
sorting to the port ; also to lay down two miles of
railway to complete the line already laid down by
the Government, from the city of Adelaide to the
North Arm, and a short line of four and a half
miles to the Dry Creek Station on the Great North
and Murrly River Railway, which will effect a
"saving of twelve miles of carriage between the great
producing districts and the port of the colony.
Interest is to be paid at the rate of 5 per cent. per
annum on the subscribed capital until the works are
no far completed as to enable the directors to com-
mence business. The object of the company may
be regarded as national, if the dangerous, narrow,
and tortuous channel leading to the present port of
Adelaide be compared to the Intended harbour,
which possesses deep water and safe anchorage. The
question of constructing a new quay appears to
have been long under the consideration of the
Legislative Council of the colony, and an appendix
is furnished with the prospectus proving the desi-
rability of the project.

The last week's railway receipts ascertained up
to this day are in round figures as under :

Two O'CLOCK.

At 'Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter'S'
telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentes were
69f. 55c., 69f. 41e. Animate.
The general situation of business in the market
for the English Funds presents no change of im-
portance, and the tendenzy of quotations is still
rather unsatisfactory. Speculation is very much
curtailed, but the few operations daily reported
show that the operators are more inclined to pro-
ceed for a fall than an advance in prices.
Consols have been 911 s for money, and 92 I for
the July account, but they are now a per cent.
better—viz., 911 92, and 92k respectively.

In the Foreign Department the most important
feature has been a rise of 3 per cent. in Mexican
Bonds, viz., to 364 4, owing to the receipt of the
capture of Puebla by the French; Greek Bonds,
however, have declined to 374 38; do., Coupons, to

The Visit of the Prince and Princess of

Wales to Oxford.

Oxford is all astir with preparations for the re-
ception of the Prince and Princess of Wales on the
16th inst. The University authorities, the under-
graduates, the town council, and the inhabitants
generally are all making the necessary arrange-
ments, and there is every prospect that the ancient
and loyal city will present a scene of gaiety and
exuberance unparalleled since the installation of
the Duke of Wellington, and scarcely inferior to
the visit, folly- nine years ago, of the Prince Regent,
the Emperor Alexander, the King of Prussia, and
other celebrities:- State etiquette, as well as the
traditions of the university, prevented the bestow-
ment of any academical distinction upon his Royal
highness while he was in residence, but the univer-
sity authorities have take❑ the earliest opportunity
of inviting him to pay a visit to his Alma Mater,
and receive from their hands the highest honour it
is in their power to bestow. The proceedings in
the Sheldonian Theatre, where his Royal Highness
will receive the honorary degree of D.C.L., are,
therefore, being looked forward to with unusual in-
terest. The Earl of Derby, the Chancellor of the
University, and a numerous end distinguished com-
pany, are expected to be present. On the followixg
day (Wednesday), the Enotenia, or a commemora-
tion of Founders and Benefactors, will take place
in the Theatre, when his Royal Highness, accom-
panied by the Princess of Wales, will take his place
amongst the doctors, and degrees will be conferred
upon several distinguished personages, including
the Duke of Newcastle, the Right Hon. Edward
Cardwell, M.P., Sir Hugh Cairns,.M.P., Sir Staf-
ford Northcote, M.P., Mr. Seymour Fitzgerald, &c.
A grand collation, given by the University, will
take place in the library of All Souls' College, and
their Royal Highnesses are then expected to pro-
ceed to the Freemasons' fete in "Worcester College.
gardens. The Prince and Princess will subsequently
witness some University aquatics on the river Isis,
being conveyed from Folly Bridge to the University
barge in a new and handsome boat now in course
of construction by Messrs. Salter, the well-known
boat-builders of Oxford and Wandsworth, Later
in the evening the royal party will be entertained
by the Vice-Chancellor at a grand banquet in
Exeter College, and will honour with their presence
a grand ball given by the undergraduates of Christ
Church, of which college the Prince of Wales is a
member. A very distinguished circle will be, in-
vited to meet their Royal Highnesses at Exeter
College, including the Duke of Cambridge, the
Early of Derby, Mr. Gladstone, the Duke of Boo-
clench, and the newly-made doctors. The city is
already fast filling with visitors, and the demand
for lodgings is greater than has been known for
many years.

The Countess of Derby has issued cards for a
select evening party to have the honour to meet their
Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princefis of Wales alter
dinner on the 24th inst., on which day their Royal High-
nesses have accepted an invitation to dine with the Earl
and Countess of Derby.
The Prince of Orange honoured the Countess
(Dow.) of Jersey with his presence at dinner on Tuesday,
at her ladyship's residence in Berkeley-square. A distin-
guished circle met his royal highness.

notoriety on this spot which none of its former occupants

fell to the lot of one individual in so brief a period.—. Lo-

VISIT OF THE DUKE OF SAXE COBURG TO
VIENNA.—The Aueburg Gazette says:—" Duke
Ernest of Saxe-Coburg will rhortly pay a visit to the court
of Vienna, and this journey is generally regarded as sym-
ptomatic of a sudden change in the political ideas which
that court has appeared to share hitherto, It is known
that its marked inclination towards Prussia, the military
convention which it has concluded with that state, and the
decided attitude, which it has assumed on many internal
questions, have gradually alienated the court of Vienna
and the coalitation of Wurtsburg. The visit which the
duke paid to Dresden in the month of February was the
first step taken witty a vtew to a union It is with a &ding
.4 satisfaction that the duke is now expected at Vienna,
wh, re the itepittaoce of his et 61/1141 influence is justly ap-
preciawci."
