" MOVEMENTS OF THE RIGHT.

" Headquarters in the Field, three miles from
United States Ford, Monday, May 4.
" There has been very little of interest transpiring
to-day. A portion of the army has been engaged in
constructing rifle pits and abattis in divers and vari-
ous places. The larger part of the army has been
resting after the severe labours of the past week.
Marches and countermarches, skirmishes, combats,
and battles have thoroughly wearied the men and
the horses. But to-day they are comparatively at
rest. Better than that, long trains of pack mules are
winding their way along the crooked wood-roads
and into every camp. The haversacks of the men
are being freighted with three days' rations of bread
meat, coffee, and sugar. The men are in excellent
spirits, and confident they shall whip the rebels.
"Early this morning the rebels succeeded in
bringing a battery to bear upon the wooded bluffs
north of the Rappahannock, near United States
Ford. Their shell were meant for our waggon train,
but by reason of the fact that a body of rebel pri-
soners had been halted for the night where they
supposed the waggon train to be they troubled their
friends more than they did their enemies.
" Many gallant deeds were performed by the staff
officers of the various generals. At the right of the
Chancellor house a battery of six guns was aban-
doned, the men and officers being killed and wounded.
Gen. Hancock directed his staff to bring them off.
Through the exert ions of Major G. W. Scott, Lieut.
W. P. Wilson, and others of the staff, the guns
were dragged off by hand and saved.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
ASSAULT ON A CONSTABLE.-Mr, Robert Pryce, a gen-
tlemanly-looking man, was charged before Mr. Knox with
assaulting Police-constable James Gibbings, 130 0, under
the following circumstances :

It appears that a large number of persons yesterday
afternoon collected at the EL gent•street entrance of the St.
James's•hall to witness the departure of their Royal High-
nesses the Princess Alexandra and the Princess of Hesse,
and that the persons making a rush towards the carriages,
the constable (Gibbings) pushed Mr. Pryce back, and Mr.
Pryce, as the constable and Inspector, Walker stated, struck
the constable, and was then taken into custody.
Mr. Lewis, jun.. appeared for the defence, and said that
Mr. Pryce, who had been rather roughly used, denied
striking the constable.

Three witnesses were called for the defence, and said
that they did not see Mr. Pryce strike the constable, but
one of them admitted that she was not certain as to the
identity of the defendant, and another said that he was not
present at the commencement of the altercation.
Mr. Knox said that if a blow had been struck, it was a
very slight one there was no doubt. He had to decide
between the opposite witnesses, and believed the police. As
the assault was only a slight one he should find the de-
fendant os,

SOUTH AMERICA.

BUENOS AYRES, April 14.

The French packet leaves here on the eve of one
of the greatest events which has ever taken place
in this country, the inauguration of the Cordoba
Railway. Mr. Wheelright, the concessionnaire,
has already departed for the scene of action. The
President, Ministers, and invited guests will leave
in a national war-steamer in a few days, and on the
20th inst. the ceremony will take place.
The earthworks will be immediately commenced,
and it is expected several miles of the road will be
already made by the time Mr. Wheelright will be
able to have the rails out from England.
The Northern Railway is progressing rapidly
under the management of Messrs. Murray and
Mills, and will shortly be completed to Los Olivos.
The Western Railway, which now belongs exclu-
sively to the Provincial Government, has not yet
been extended. The stockholders, however, have
been paid off at par, with 6 per cent. interest. A
small portion of the stock, which was given to what
is called the Dredge Company, is still unpaid, but
the matters in dispute being left to arbitration it is
thought the holders of this part of the stock will
be paid immediately.
In the southern parts of this province we are at
present experiencing a great drought. The sheep
farmers are beginning to fear that the winter will
set in before the grass comes up, which would cause
immense loss. In the north, however, the camps
abound with grass, the flocks are all lambing, and
owing to the genial weather the average increase of
flocks in these districts may be put down at 40 per
cent.

Ounces still rule high, but they have a decided
downward tendency. We look forward to a fall
after the meeting of Congress and election of Go-
vernor next month.

The wool market has been very active during the
past few days, and extensive sales have been made,
principally for Germany, England, and small lots

f.r France. Quotations are much firmer for common
wools, and show a rise of 1 do!. to 3 dol. for select
parcels, which are becoming scarce.

The friends and supporters of the British Home
for Incurables will be gratified to learn that H.R.H. the
Princess of Wales has graciously consented to become the
patroness of the institution.

THE YELVEItTON CASE IN THE LORDS.—The
Non. Major Yelverton having recently presented a
petit;on to the House of Lords, asking for further time to
lodge his case, on Thursday Mr. Tippets, the agent of the
major, applied to the appeal committee, when one month's
further delay was granted. The appeal will, therefore, pro-
bably be heard before their lordships about the month of
July cat

DEPLORABLE SUICIDE OP A LADY.

A painful inquiry was held by Mr. W. J. Payne, coroner
'or the Duchy of Lancaster, at the Cock Tavern, High-
street, Clapham, on Thursday, respecting the death of Mrs.
Anna Hancock, aged 57.
James Orme, 16, Courteney-place, Clapham-road, said
that deceased lived at No. 6, Courteney-place. She was the
widow of a gentleman formerly of independent property.
He became reduced in circumstances, however, and had to
become a clerk. Two years ago he died, leaving to his
widow £5O in the funds, some valuable plate, and a well-
furnished house. Witness, in consequence of the intem-
perate habits of Mrs. Hancock, was requested to give her
the money in weekly instalments, which he did. She was
not sober on any Saturday during the last two years, and
she fell into a state of the most extreme destitution. Wit-
ness latterly lent her money to the amount of £7. She had
previously sold all her plate and furniture, and has been
obliged to remove to a small room. On last Saturday night
she called on witness, and asked him for some money. She
looked in great want, but she was three parts intoxicated.
He said that he had no more money, and that the best
thing she could do would be to apply to the workhouse, and
get herself taken as an inmate. She seemed much grieved,
and said that she could never induce herself to do so. She
had on a previous occasion said that she would rather feed
the fishes than live in a workhouse. Witness, however,
felt it was his duty to insist, as she was in such a dreadful
state of want. She got an order to go before the board of
guardians on Tuesday last, but she committed suicide on
the Monday morning, witness had no doubt through dread
of being obliged to enter the workhouse. Sbe spent the
whole of the Sunday wandering about Clapham-common.
Witness had done everything in his power for her.
John Wood, Stammerton Cottage, Clapham-common,
said that he resided near the Windmill-pond. At four
o'clock on Monday morning he saw the body of the de-
ceased in the water. He could see through the water the
marks of her footsteps along the bottom of the pond,
showing where she had deliberately walked into the water
until her feet had become entangled in the weeds. She had
then apparently thrown herself on her side, and kept her
head under the surface until she was drowned. She must
have gone over an embankment and railings before reaching
the pond. Nothing but a key was found on her. She ap-
peared to have been in great destitution.

The Coroner having remarked upon the lamentable nature
of the case, the jury returned a verdict of " Suicide while
in a state of temporary insanity."

BRISTOL SUGAR-MAY 22.

-
The languid tone which characterised the market at the
close of last week still continues to mark its operations, and
buyers come forward sparingly, the sales having been very
limited. Refined goods are a slow sale, and prices expected
to be lower. Sales in rum moderate, at full prices.

LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.
TOBIN, ON A PETITION OP RIGHT, V..THE QUEEN.
The plaintiff in this case was a merchant in the African
trade, residing at Liverpool. It also appeared that he was
the owner of several vessels trading to different parts of the
world, amongst whom was one named the Britannia, and
while that ship was performing a voyage she met
with certain mishaps, whioh rendered it necessary
for her to put into one of the ports on the African coast
for repair. While undergoing the operation, one
of her Majesty's cruisers seized her on suspicion of being
engaged in the slave trade, and in a short time after de-
stroyed her by fire, instead of taking her into one of the
Admiralty courts to be adjudged as a prize. Pleas were put
in by the Attorney-General, on the part of the Crown, that
the averments in the petition were untrue, and Mr. Kim-
perly, on the part of Mr. Tobin, this morning addressed
their lordship, contending that under Mr. Bovill's act, the
Crown was debarred from putting such a plea in such
general terms, and that the petition m,ght be taken as con-
fessed, as he denied altogether that the Crown was deprived
of the right of answering in such a general way.
The Court was of opinion that the Crown still held the
right that the learned counsel questioned, but granted a
rule to show cause why the pleas should not be made more
general.

ANTI-SLAVERY SOCIETY.

The annual meeting of this society Was held yesterday at
the London Tavern.

MI. ALEXANDER (the treasurer of the society), who occu-
pied the chair, apologised for the position in which he was
placed, owing to the regretted absence of Lord Brougham.
With respect to the struggle which was now going on in
America between North Lad South, he expressed his opinion
that, though war was a great evil, yet that the good which
would be effected by the civil war in America fully justified
the society in wishing the Federal cause to succeed.
Mr. CHAS. BUXTON stated the purport of a letter which
he had received from Lord Brougham that morning, stating
that his lordship declined to attend the meeting on the ground
that he believed every Englishman ought to remain strictly
neutral on the question in dispute between the Northern and
Southern States of America.

The announcement was received with some few hisses
and other expressions of disapprobation, and a gentleman
present proposed a resolution to the effect that the reason
assigned by Lord Brougham for his non-attendance was not
satisfactory, and that the secretary be requested to forward
a copy of the resolution to his lordship. The resolution,
however, having no seconder fell to the ground. Mr. Buxton
explained that Lord Brougham had not given any promise
to attend the meeting, but that the secretary had announced
his lordship's name, believing that the noble lord would
attend the meeting.

Mr. CHAMEROVZONV, the secretary, read the report of the
proceedings of the society, and the financial accounts showed
that the balance now in the hands of the treasurer was £l6,
and the outstanding liabilities were £lB7. The donations
during the past year were £74, and the subscriptions were
under £2OO.

Sir T. FOWELL BUXTON, who moved the adoption of the
report, expressed his regret that, even at the present time,
slavery should exist to so great an extent in various parts of
the world, and especially that Spain should still continue
to give so much support to the system. He expressed his
opinion that slavery on the continent of America was fast
approaching its termination, and that probably before many
months they would see it completely extinguished.
The resolution, seconded by the Rev. Dr, hlAssiz, was
unanimously agreed to.
The Hon. and Rev. BAPTIST NOEL proposed, as a second
resolution, " That the society deemed it of importance at
this crisis to reaffirm the fundamental principle of the anti-
slavery movement; that slavery is a sin and crime before
God, and that its speedy ab .lition was devoutly to be desired
on the grounds of religion and humanity."
The resolution, seconded by the Rev. W. ARTHUR, was
also unanimously adopted.
Some other resolutions of a formal character were also
adopted, and the proceedings terminated with the usual vote
of thanks to the chairman.

DEPLORABLE SUICIDE OF A LADY.

A painful inquiry was held by Mr. W. J. Payne, coroner
for the Duchy of Lancaster, at the Cock Tavern, High-
street, Clapham, on Thursday, respecting tile death of Mrs.
Anna Hancock, aged 57.
James Orme, 16, Courteney-place, Clapham-road, said
that deceased lived at No. 6, Courteney-place. She was the
widow of a gentleman formerly of independent property.
He became reduced in circumstances, however, and had to
become a clerk. Two years ago he died, leaving to his
widow £5O in the funds, some valuable plate, and a well-
furnished house. Witness, in consequence of the intem-
perate habits of Mrs. Hancock, was requested to give her
the money in weekly instalments, which he did. She was
not sober on any Saturday during the last two years, and
she fell into a state of the most extreme destitution, Wit-
ness latterly lent her money to the amount of £7. She had
previously sold all her plate and furniture, and has been
obliged to remove to a small room. On last Saturday night
she called on witness, and asked him for some money. She
looked in great want, but she was three parts intoxicated.
He said that he had no more money, and that the best
thing she could do would be to apply to the workhouse, and
get herself taken as an inmate. She seemed much grieved,
and said that she could never induce herself to do so. She
had on a previous occasion said that she would rather feed
the fishes than live in a workhouse. Witness, however,
felt it was his duty to insist, as she was in such a dreadful
state of want. She got an order to go before the board of
guardians on Tuesday last, but she committed suicide on
the Monday morning, witness had no doubt through dread
of being obliged to enter the workhouse. She spent the
whole of the Sunday wandering about Clapham-common.
Witness had done everything in his power for her.
John Wood, Stammerton Cottage, Clapham-common,
said that he resided near the Windmill-pond. At four
o'clock on Monday morning he saw the body of the de-
ceased in the water. He could see through the water the
marks of her footsteps along the bottom of the pond,
showing where she had deliberately walked into the water
until her feet had become entangled in the weeds. She had
then apparently thrown herself on her side, and kept her
head under the surface until she was drowned. She must
have gone over an embankment and railings before reaching
the pond. Nothing but a key was found on her. She ap-
peared to have been in great destitution.

The Coroner having remarked upon the lamentable nature
of the case, the jury returned a verdict of " Suicide while
in a state of temporary inaanity."

Mejor Platner had both of his horses shot, Captains
Cole and Root and Lieut. Porter, of the same regi-
ment, were wounded. Sunday morning it num-
bered 500 men. It is estimated that not than '2OO
are left. Too much praise cannot be awarded to
this regiment., the 31st, Col. Jones, and other two
years' regiments, whose time is up within two
weeks, for the gallant manner in which they have
conducted themselves in the various fights. The
brave boys were beginning to count the days which
intervened between the period of their departure
for home.

" Yesterday considerable picket-firing took place
above Falmouth, and heavy fighting on the extreme

right.

" About noon our heavy siege guns commenced
shelling the Height above the city, and kept it up
at intervals during the afternoon. A fearful rain-
storm set in about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, which
must have caused the river to rise rapidly. A little

stream which I stepped over easily at 3 o'clock I
was compelled to wade three hours later on return-
ing, doffing my wearing apparel and carrying it in
my hand. The storm continued all night, and the
weather is very cold and chilly this morning, occa-
sioning some discomfort to the wounded. Very
heavy artillery firing has been going on at the right
for the last hour, and if there is a corresponding
amount of musketry another fierce battle is
going on."

LAW INTELLIGENCE—Tbis Day.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.
TOBIN, ON A PETITION OF RIGHT, V. THE QtTEEN.
The plaintiff in this case was a merchant in the African
trade, residing at Liverpool. It also appeared that he was
the owner of several vessels trading to different parts of the
world, amongst whom was one named the Britannia, and
while that ship was performing a voyage she met
with certain mishaps, which rendered it necessary
for her to put into one of the ports on the African coast
for repair. While undergoing the operation, one
of her Majesty's cruisers seized her on suspicion of being
engaged in the slave trade, and in a short time after de-
stroyed her by fire, instead of taking her into one of the
Admiralty courts to be adjudged as a prize. Pleas were put
in by the Attorney-General, on the part of the Crown, that
the averments in the petition were untrue, and Mr. Rim-
perly, on the part of Mr. Tobin, this morning addressed
their lordships, contending that under Mr. Bovill's act, the
Crown was debarred from putting such a plea in such
general terms, and that the petition m'ght be taken as con-
fessed, as ho denied altogether that the Crown was deprived
of the right of answering in such a general way.
The Court was of opinion that the Crown still held the
right that the learned counsel questioned, but granted a
rule to show cause why the pleas should not be made more
general.
