constable (Tizley, 65 C).

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.
Our market to-day was scantily supplied with beasts,
chiefly in poor condition. Some Scots and short-horns
changed hands steadily at very full prices ; otherwise, the
beef trade was heavy at barely Monday's currency. The
top figure was 4s 10d per 81bs. The show of sheep was
only moderate, and the mutton trade ruled firm at previous
quotations. The best Downs wero worth 5s 4d per Blbs.
Prime lambs commanded quite Monday's prices, viz., 6s to
6s 4d per 81bs. Inferior lambs, however, were inactive at
late rates. Calves—the supply of which was moderate—
moved off steadily at full currencies. Iu pigs and mulch
cows very little was doing on former terms.

A collission has occurred on the Potamic between
two transports. Eighty sick soldiers were drowned.
Mr. Cassius M. Clay has made a speech at Wash-
ington devoted to abuse of the English Parliament,
press, and people, and laudatory of France and
Russia.

England, he said, is the most unfriendly nation
upon the earth. Her conduct on the slavery
question was hellishly damnable hypocrisy. She
was looking for America's downfall, but France
protected America. He would not desist
speaking against England. When England
threatened the national existence, Napoleon
was the firm and fixed friend of America.
Therefore let America appeal to France not to
stand by and let the American Republic be de-
stroyed by England. Russia was a strong ally of
America. He was surprised and struck with ad-
miration at the condition of the Russian people, for
England had misrepresented them. The Russian
royal family is the most lively, intelligent, and vir-
tuous family that ever occupied a throne.

ME CIVIL WAR IN AMERICA

RETREAT OF GENERAL

NEW YORK, AUG. 16 (Morning.)
(Per Bohemia via Quebec and Londonderry.)
General M'Clellan's army is supposed to have
retired from Harrison's Landing down the penin-
sula—one portion by land, visa Williamsburg, and
another portion on transports down the James
River. Both routes of retreat were liable to an
attack from the Confederates, but it is reported that
the movement has been successfully performed. It
is not definitely known when General M'Clellau
will operate.
General Jackson has safely crossed the Rapidan,
and is south-west of Gordonsville, with 60,000 men.
The high waters of the Rapidan have delayed the
Federal forces, but they are reported to be steadily
advancing.
General Pope's official report of the battle at
Cedar Mountain states that the loss of tr.e Federals
was 1,500 killed, wounded, and missing, 300 of
whom were taken prisoners. General Prince was
captured by the Confederates. Confederate General
Winder was killed.
The Southern journals claim the victory at Cedar
Mountain, and state that 30 commissioned officers of
Gen. Pope's army have arrived at Richmond, where
they would be imprisoned, and finally punished as
felons, until the Federal Government should cease
the war policy inaugurated by General Pope.
General Pope has issued an order, stating that
his proclamation directing the
army to subsist on
the country has been abused by officers and men,
and forbidding all to molest or disturb the pro-
perty of citizens. Acts of pillage and outrage veil
be punished.
Confederate General Lee has addressed a lettei.
to General Halleck, threatening retaliatory mea-
sures for Gen. Pope's order.
General Halleck answered that as the letter was
couched in a tone insulting to the Federal Govern-
ment, he should not reply.
General Fremont has again been appointed to
command the first army under General Pope.
It is reported from Memphis that a battle occurred
on the 7th inst. at Tazewell, near Cum oerland Gap,
in which 3,000 Federals surrendered ; that the Con-
federates were again in possession of East Tennes-
see, and that Generals Beaureg and and Bragg were
at Chattanoga with 70,600 men.
A semi-official Washington despatch declares the
report to be totally untrue, and says that no fight
took place at Tazewell, except on the 9th,when the
Confederates were repulsed with loss.
The Memphis report is discredited.
It is again reported from the South that the Con-
federates have captured Baton Rouge with four
Federal regiments, and have sunk two Federa
gunboats.

Official orders have been issued for formally com-
mencing the draft of 300,000 on the Ist Sept:, and
also the additional special draft to fill up all the old
regiments not filled by that date.
Recruiting has much improved, but tho draiting
excitement continues. Foreigners who have de-
clared their intention to become citizens are not
allowed to leave the country. Numerous emigrants
enlist on landing.

The Governor of Massachusetts has ordered the
enrolment of coloured citizens among those subject
to the draft.

The municipality of New York has appropriated
1,000,000 dols, for the defence of the harbour by
gunboats and rams.

Three hundred houses in Memphis have been
seized under the Confiscation Act.
General Butler has ordered a forced contribution
of 330,000 dols. from the banks, cotton brokers, and
merchants of New Orleans for the support of
the poor. The assessments are made in propor-
tion to the . sum subscribed by the merchants
for the defence of New Orleans against the Federal
Government. The forced contributions from each
firm varies from 85,000 dols. to 6 dole. ; nearly 200
firms are assessed.
