The Atlantic Royal Mail Company's steamer
Adriatic, from New York on the 22d and St. John's

tained his position until after dark, rearing during
the night to ltossville.

On the following afternoon the Confederates
attacked General Thomas, but were repulsed, and
Thomas proceeded to Chattanooga, where Rosen-
cranz had concentrated his forces, and was awaiting
reinforcements from General Grant.
General Rosencranz announces that he will be
able to maintain his position until he is reinforced.
The Confederates continued active in his front.

Southern journals state that fighting was resumed
on the 22d inst.

General Bragg officially reports to his Govern-
ment that after two days' fighting the enemy has
been driven from several positions, but still con-
fronted him. He captured 20 guns and 2,500
prisoners.

The Richmond Whig estimates the Confederate
loss at 5,000 men, including six generals (P killed)
and seven wounded. The Federal loss is estimated
at 12,000 men.
A portion of General Meade's forces have crossed
the Rapidan. His cavalry have reached Orange
Court House. There were no signs of the Con-
federates, who are supposed to be at Gordonsville,
Where an engagement is expected.
Advices from Charleston are to the 22d inst. Pre-
perations were being acti7ely carried on by the
Federals, notwithstanding that the Confederate
firing continued unabated.

The liichnzond Dispatch asserts that the Confe-
derate Government has effected a loan of
100,000,000 f. in France upon the security of the
cottcn now in the South.

Two more Russian frigates have arrived at New
York•

The steamer Jupiter has been captured.

NEW YORK, Sept. 24, Evening.
General Rosencranz telegraphed to Washington
on the n;ght of the 23d that he could not be dis-
lodged from his position.
There had been no further fighting,
It is semi-officially announced that the Govern-
ment have received advices from England that the
Confederate rails would not be allowed to sail. This
has created a kindly feeling on the part of the
Federal Government towards England.
Five more Russian vessels are expected at New
York.
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

The advices received from General Rosencranz

Mr. Mark Lemon at the Free Trade Hall.

Oa Saturday evening Mr. Mark Lemon, the
well-known litterateur and editor of Punch, gave a
reading at the Free Trade Hall. 0 wing probably
to the unfavourable state of the weather, there was
only a limited attendance. Though this was the first
time Mr. Lemon had appeared before a Manchester
audience in the character of a reader, he was not
personally unknown to the Manchester people. His
appearance in the amateur dramatic company,
which a few years since visited Manchester uncle;
the leadership of Mr. Charles Dickens, made a
very favourable impression as to his histricnic
ability, and this quality, added to his genial
nature, found full scope in the subject he
selected on Saturday—a serio-comic picture from ale
own writings, of the life and acquaintances of a
gambler, and entitled " Hearts are Tramps." The
sketch included many of the striking varieties of
human nature that arc met with in everyday life,
as it is set before us in the modern novel. Thus it
had its heroine, an interesting and wealthy ward ;
its low comedy man, a compound of footman, groom,
and gardener; and its hero, the father of the young
ward, who, though a blackleg and a gambler, had
nevertheless sufficient sense of shame to keep his
livelihood a secret from his daughter. In compli-
ance with the dying request of his wife, Mr.
Gray—so ran the tale—placed his daughter
under the care of an eccentric, good-hearted,
old woman, named Miller, at Reigate, he In
the meantime carrying on his gambling trans-
actions in London, where he was only known
under a pseudonym. The description of the gam-
bler's occasional visits to his child was given with
great pathos, and the deathbed scene of Mrs. Gray
was pictured with similar feeling. As a contrast
to the knavery of the father and the gentle nature
of the child, Mrs. Miller's honest open-hearted
footman—Joe Martin—stood out in pleasing promi-
nence. Though only half a Yorkshireman, Joe had
all the shrewdness and straightforward goodhumour
of an out-and-out Yorkshireman. His peculiar
dialect gave a zest to the witticisms and retorts with
which he greeted the cockney visitors to Oak Cot-
tage, Reigate. One Wagstaff, a fellow-blackleg with
Gray, fell in love with the heroine, discovered her pa-
rentage, and on being refused by her father he re-
venged himself by revealing Gray's occupation to the
'inmates of the cottage. The women made their
way to London, and found Gray and Wagstaff at
play, and cheating a young fellow named Wilmot.
This denouenzent was treated admirably. It pour-
trayed Gray's chagrin at finding that his wicked-
ness was discovered, his remorse, and his daughter's
forgiveness, which melted even the steeled heart of
Captain Wagstaff. Wilmot was recognised as an
old acquaintance, and he, of course, married the
heroine. The sketch also included the marriage of
another hero—Mr. Joe Martin—to a buxom young
servant named Susan Fletcher, the love scenes with
whom formed a pleasing and humonrous contrast to
the more practical and knavish characters of the
story. The impersonations were variously and dis-
tinctly rendered, and the audience entered into the
reading with spirit, their attention and applause
showing how highly they appreciated the ability
of their entertainer.
