AMERICA.

QUEENSTOWN, MAY 25.
The Royal Mail steamship America, from Boston,
on the 14th, and Halifax on the 16th, arrived here
at 418 p.m. today. She brings 137 passengers
and 61,153 dais. specie. She landed 182 sacks of
mails and 11 passengers, and proceeded at 4 30
p.m. for Liverpool ; all well.

DESTRUCTION OF THE ME RRIIVIAC BY
THE CONFEDERATES.

(PER AMERICA, via BOSTON AND QUEENSTOWN.)
NEW YORK, MAY 13, MORNING.

General Wool, with 5,000 men, landed on the
10th at Willoughby Point, and marched on Nor-
folk.

A delegation of citizens met General Wool near
Norfolk, and surrendered the city. No resistance
was offered. The Confederate General Huger with-
drew his force, which, it is supposed, was much
reduced in numbers by reinforcing Gen. Johnson.
The Confederates blew up the Merrimac on the
11th. The late reconnaissance of Federal vessels
was in such force as to prove that the chance of
successful contest was hopeless, and the Merrimac
drew too much water to proceed up any of the
rivers.

General M'Clellan's forces have advanced beyond
New Kent Courthouse, within 22 miles of Rich-
mond.

The Confederates were still falling back, having
destroyed the railway from West Point. The Con-
federate rear was three miles distant.

The Confederate retreat is reported to be admi-
rably accomplished ; they carry their waggons and
provisions in the daytime,and their troops by night,
covering their retreat by a line of skirmishers
gtrotched across the country, and driving in their
stragglers at the point of the bayonet.
From the best information it is supposed that the
Confederates will make a stand at Bottom's Bridge,
18 miles from Richmond, the head-waters of the
Chickahominy River.

Captain Davis officially reports from the Missis-
sippi, above Fort Pillow, that eight Confederate
iron•clad gunboats attacked the Federal flotilla
under Commander Foote. The action lasted one
hour. Six Federal vessels were engaged. Two
Confederate gunboats were blown up, and one sunk.

The Confederates then retreated under the guns
of Foote. One Federal vessel was injured.
Corroborative accounts received state that im-
mense quantities of cotton are being burnt at
Memphis, and most of the sugar and molasses are
being thrown into the river.
A Secession plot to hand the town over to the
Confederates has been discovered at Paducah, Ken.
tueky. The conspirators have been arrested.

A large meeting of the Conservative members of
Congress has been held at Washington, denouncing
Abolitionists and Secessionists. A resolution was
passed denouncing the confiscation measures.

DESTRUCTION OF THE NORFOLK NA.VY-
YARD BY THE CONFEDERATES.
(PER AMERICA, VIA BOSTON AND ROCHE'S POINT.
NEW YORK, MAY 13, EVENING.
At Norfolx, the Navy-yard, dry dock, naval
machinery, and all vessels were found to have been
entirely destroyed by the Confederates.
The Federal steamer Galena has proceeded up
the James River, and silenced the Confederate bat-
teries at Day's Point.
The Southern newspapers state that the Federal
squadron had arrived of Fort Morgan to attack
Mobile. The result of the attack is not known.
The Federal General Pope officially reports that
the Confederates, 20,000 strong, advanced upon his
Brigade, stationed on the banks of a creek near Fal-
mington, five miles north-west of Corinth.
Pope's Brigade held on for five hours, but, find-
ing that he could not sustain his troops without his
whole force crossing the creek, which would have
brought on a general engagement, Pope withdrew
his forces.
The Confederates did not cross the creek. The
loss of the Federals was considerable; that of the
Confederates is also reported to be large.
Gen. Beauregard is still fortifying Corinth, in the
neighbourhood of which the Confederates are re-
ported to be in immense strength. Both belligerents
continue preparations for an extensive battle.
The Aremphis Avalanche of the 6th says that
the Mayor and Aldermen of New Orleans have
been sent to prison for refusing to take the oath of

allegiance.
The greatest distress for provisions prevailed in
New Orleans. General Butler occupied the St.
Charles Hotel as his head-quarters. The General
had sent a proclamation to the newspaper offices for
publication, but they refused to print it. A Federal
guard was sent to the newspaperoffices, and Northern
printers were procured, by whom the proclamation
was set up and published, proclaiming martial law
in New Orleans.
The House of Representatives has passed a bill
abolishing slavery in the territories of the United
States by a vote of 85 to 50.
(PER AMERICA, via BOSTON AND QUEENSTOWN,)
General Butler's proclamation of martial law in
New Orleans was to the following effect :
" The violation of property or persons protected
by the Federal army will be punishable with death.
"All persons must treat the Federal flag with the
utmost deference and respect, under penalty of
severe punishment.
ig The keepers of all public property, whether
State, national, or Confederate, must make a return
to General Butler's head-quarters.
" All shops and places of amusement are to be
kept open in the accustomed Manner, and- service
is to be held in the churches as in times of pro-
found peace.
The circulation of Confederate notes among the

poorer classes will be permitted so long as inconsi-
derate persons will receive them.
" Federal officers will be appointed to examine all
editorial newspaper comments and correspondence
before its publication will be allowed.

" All assemblages in the streets by day or by
night are forbidden."

President Lincoln has issued a proclamation that
the blockade of New Orleans, Beaufort, and Port
Royal shall cease from June Ist, on the following
conditions :

Vessels clearing from foreign ports destined for
New Orleans, Beaufort, or Port Royal, must obtain
licenses from American Consuls abroad, which will
be granted upon satisfactory evidence that such
vessels will convey no person, property, or infor-
mation contraband of war either to or from the
above ports.

These licences must be exhibited on arrival to the
cellectors at the above ports.

When cleared outwards from the above ports
such vessels must have the collector's clearance,
showing that the above conditions have not been
violated.

The violation of these conditions will involve the
forfeiture and condemnation of vessel and cargo,
and exclusion from the privilege of entering the
United States during the war.
In all other respects the existing blockade re-
mains in full force and effect, and is only relaxed in
regard to the above ports.
(PER AMERICA, BY TELEGRAPH TO HALIFAX AND
via QUEEN STOWN. )
NEW YORK, MAY 15 (Evening).
The New York press thinks that the proclama-
tion of Lincoln relaxing the blockade will end all
idea of foreign intervention.

A portion of General Wool's forces has occupied
Suffolk.

It is reported that General Siegel will reinforce
General Halleck.

Captain Pennock officially reports that in a naval
engagement near Fort Pillow one Federal gunboat
was sunk and one disabled.

The Baltimore Ameriraii says that relieved pri-
soners coming from Richmond on the 12th inst. re-
port that they had passed the Federal steamers
Monitor and Nangtucket beyond City Point, steam-
ing towards Richmond.
The Galena was also following.
The steamers Jamestown and Yorktown were at
Rocketts, near Richmond.

General M'Clellan's forces were at Cumberland,
Pamunky river, 26 miles from Richmond.
In the night of the 13th a skirmish occurred with
the Confederates who were in their immediate
front.

Rumours were current in Baltimore of the cap-
ture of Richmond, but no confirmation has been yet
received.

THE DUBLIN COURT MARTIAL.

The court martial on Veterinary Surgeon Paul
Anthony, of the 11th Hussars, was resumed this
morning.

The prisoner handed in testimonials from Colonel
Douglas and Colonel Peel, who were his former
commanding officers, and then proceeded to address
the Court in his own behalf. It was consoling to
him in his present position to think that the tribunal
before which he stood, while blaming and censuring
his acts, would at the same time feel indignant at
the insults to which he had been subjected by Cor-
net Delacour, and which were the inciting cause of
all that followed. He had said or done nothing to
warrant the imputation which Cornet Delacour
levelled at him. While admitting that he should
have restrained his feelings, it should be remem-
bered that it was always easy when there was time
for reflection to moralise upon what should be done
by a man whose feeling was raised by undeserved
taunts and imputations. Cornet Delacour at mess,
in the hearing of strangers, imputed to him that he
entered a horse at the Bangor races under false pre-
tences, and had won the race under those discredit-
able circumstances. This wa© the commencement
of the transaction, and he submitted that direct
provocation was then given to him. The prisoner
referred to the evidence, which he thought eus-
tained him, and concluded by commending his case
to the favourable consideration of the Court.

Lieutenant-Colonel Frazer, 11th Hussars, replied
as prosecutor. He contended that the accused was
clearly guilty of the charge laid againEt him, and.
that the first words of insult came from him, when
he called Cornet Delacour a " cur" and a " liar."
The defence seemed to suggest that the case should
be regarded by the Court as one for the merciful
interposition of her Majesty, but he (Lieutenant-
Colonel Frazer) believed there was nothing in the
conduct of the prisoner to call for any interposition
of mercy.

The court was then cleared, and some time after-
wards was declared adjourned. The decision will
be given on a future day.

CONSUMPTION OF DRINKS;

Twenty years ago the consumption of tea per head
among the population of the United Kingdom was only
1.371 b; since then the duty has been reduced from 2s 21d
per lb to is sd, and in 1861 the consumption per head was
2.671 b, and the revenue received had risen from 2s nid
per head to 3s 91d. Of coffee the consumption 20 years
ago was I.oolb per head ; the duty has been very greatly
reduced, and the consumption per head in 1861 was 1.211 b ;
the increase of consumption has not been so great as in tea,
and the population contributed on coffee to the revenue in
1861 only 3id per head, instead of 71d., which was the rate
in 1841. The consumption of sugar was 171 b per head in
1841; the duties have since been reduced and equalised,
and the consumption more than doubled ; in 1861 it was
35.211 b per head, an I the revenue obtained was 4s 21d per
head, having been only 3s 10d in 1841. If now we take a
stronger class of beverages, we find malt showing little
change; the rate of consumption per head was 1.35 bushel
in 1841 and 149 in 1861, and the rate of contribution to
the revenue per head in this respect 4s Id in 1841, and 3s
81d in 1861. The wine duties, it will be remembered, have
been greatly altered, and the consumption of wine rose
from 6,184,960 gallons in 1841 to 10,693,071 in 1861, or
from 0•23 gallon per head to 0.37, the rate of contribution
to the revenue per head in taxation upon wine falling from
Is 31d to 10d. The duty on British spirits has been raised
considerably, and the amount of duty received is greatly
increased, but the consumption has somewhat fallen off; in
1841 the rate consumed was 0.77 gallon per head, and the
individual contribution to the revenue 3s 81d ; in 1861 the
consumption was 0.67, and the contribution to revenue 6s
71d. But on foreign spirits the duty has been reduced ;
hence, though the consumption has largely increased, the
contribution to revenue remains about the same, is 91d
per head, the rate of consumption rising 0.13 to o'lB gallon.
The consumption of tobacco increases; in 1841 it was
0.831 b per head, in 1861 1.19 ; and the contribution to re.
venue 2s 8d per head in 1841, became 3s 10d in 1861. Of
all the articles above named British spirits alone have di-
minished in absolute quantity consumed in the last 20
years ; the consumption of no beverage has increased so
much as that of tea; but smokers also have increased and
multiplied.

MALTESE SYMPATHY WITH THE POPE.—VALETTA,
May 21.—The Archbishop, Bishop of Malta, Monsignor
Pace Forno, left Malta on Saturday last for Rome, to be
present at the conclave of bishops which is assembling
from all parts of the world. He carries with him
an address to the Pope, to which is attached some
50,000 signatures. Double the number might have been
ob'ained if necessary. It expresses the warmest sym-
pathy of the Maltese people in his Holiness's present
troubles, and their fervent prayers for his independence,
temporal and spiritual. The various copies of the address
from the difierent towns and villages were elegantly bound
together in velvet and silver, and formed a massi e volume,
which was exposed for public inspection in one of the
churches, It was afterwards carried in state through the
streets by a deputation of the clergy and laity, to the Epis-
copal Palace, and handed to the Bishop, with the request
he would lay it at the feet of the Pope. Before embarking
his reverence went to St. John's to offer up the usual prayer
for his safe journey. The spacious cathedral was crowded
to suffocation, and innumerable thousands waited outside,
unable to obtain admittance. Such an immense
assemblage of people has seldom been witnessed in Malta.
The whole island seemed to be in the streets on that day.
It is calculated that upwards of 50,000 persons were pre-
sent. A party of lads carrying Papal and Maltese flags
preceded the bishop as he walked from the church to the
place of embarkation, and bestowed his episcopal benedic-
tion on the multitude. The vessel soon afterwards steamed
out of port amidst the most enthusiastic evvivas for Pio
None Papa Re. Two or three Roman Catholic Bishops
from the East have passed through this island during the
week for Rowe,

HORRIBLE OCCURRENCE ATertY
Jennings,Oßli.—L ls

at a wall which stonemason,
he fell a distance of 30 overhangs a railway cutting near York,
to the ground. He was se-
verely injured, but under tehwteetrreeatment of his medical at-
whenentertained of his recovery

he made a frightful

attempt at self-destruction.
that Jennings has led
a debauched and profligate life, and Since theaccident has
been quite reckless as to his future state. When
suffering from paroxysms of pain, his conduct was hasoef was
most violent nature, and his chief anxiety was that the
might die, and thus put an end to his sufferings. As he
still lingered, he determined to destroy himself. On Tues-
day ho succeeded in obtaining a knife, and having by a
pretext got rid of his attendants, cut across his stomach
three times, causing his bowels to gush out in a mast
horrible manner. Dr. Arthur shortly afterwards arrived,
aul succeeded in sewing up the wound ; but as Jennings
still announced his intention of terminating his existence,
his arms were strapped securely across his chest to prevent
his tearing the wound open. in this frightful state he at
present lies without the slightest hope of recovery, and per-
tinaciously refuses to partake of any food, in the hope
thereby of hastening death by starvation.—Liverpool Mer-
cury.

THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, EVENING, MAY 26, 1862.

MARKETS---THIS DAY.

MARK-LANE.

The whole of the country markets, held on Saturday,
were very dull for wheat, and a fall of ls. to fully 2s. per
quarter took place in prices. The spring corn trade was
devoid of animation, and sales, in most instances, could only
be effected by submitting to lower terms.
On the Continent, the corn trade has been in a most in-
active state, and the quotations have had a downward ten•
dency. At New York, owing to increasing supplies,
wheat, flour, and maize had given way in price.
Limited supplies of English produce were received up to
our market last week. The imports from abroad were
25,272 quarters of wheat ; 14,9'.0 barley ; 16,842 oats ;
2,200 beans ; 746 tares, 11,260 linseed ; 4,488 rapeseed ;
1,110 maize ; 87 sundry seeds ; 53 sacks and 6,463 bales of
flour.

The fresh at rivals of English wheat to this morning's
market were much restricted, and the condition of the
samples, generally speaking, was by no means first-rate.
Owing to the fineness of the weather, as well as to the
favourable accounts which have been received concerning
the crops, the trade was very dull for all qualities, and it
was impossible to transact business except by submitting to
a further reduction in prices of from is to 2s per quarter.
A considerable portion of the supply was left unsold at the
olose of the market. _ _

The show of foreign wheat was large, a considerable
proportion of which consisted of superior qualities, suitable
to the London millers. All descriptions sold heavily, and
compared with Monday last a fall of is to 2s per quarter
took place ; but where sales were forced, ex ship, the latter
figure was more general.
Floating cargoes of grain were in slow request, and the
quotations had a downward tendency.
In the value of barley no quotable change took place.
The better qualities were steady as to price, but low foreign
parcels were difficult of sale.
The malt trade was inactive at last Monday's quotations.
For the time of the year the show of oats was by no
means extensive. Good and fine samples moved off steadily
at full prices, but inferior parcels met a dull market at
barely late rates.
With beans and peas the market was very moderately
supplied. The demand for them, however, was far from
active, nevertheless the quotations ruled firm.
In all kinds of flour a limited business was transacted on
rather easier terms.

BOW-STREET, THIS DAY.
A PROFESSIONAL BEGGAR.—William Newman, who
had the appearance of an extraordinarily clean mechanic,
was placed at the bar charged with begging.
Horsford, jun., one of the Mendicity Society's officers,
said—About half-past 10 this morning I saw the prisoner
in Whitehall-place, following a gentleman, begging.
Knowing him to be a professional beggar, from the fact
that I had had him in custody twice before, I watched him
closely. He was not successful in his first effort, and he
then selected another gentleman near Northumberland
House. I heard him say " I'm in great distress, pray
assist me. I've work to go to, but the tools are in pawn,
pray assist me to get 'em out." The gentleman walked on,
and by this time the prisoner had got as far as King Wil-
liam- street, Strand, when he fixed on a third gentleman,
and told him the same story. When I saw him get some-
thing given to him I then went up and took him into cus-
tody, and found two penny pieces in his hand. As soon as
I had told him should take him into custody for begging, he
managed to get a small packet of combs in his hand, which
he had bad concealed up his sleeve, and then he said, " I've
sold the gentleman a small comb for 2d." His system is
not to stop gentlemen, but to walk by their side for a con-
siderable distance. He has been about London for the last
three or i our years as a beggar.
Mr. Henry—Well, what have you to say to the charge
of begging ?
Prisoner—l wasn't begging; I was selling combs, and
its devilish hard a poor fellow- can't sell a few combs with-
out being collared for begging.
Mr. Henry—But the officer says you were begging.
Prisoner—Then believe him of course. (Laughter.) Do
you think I should be knocking about ashore if I could get
a day's work, but this is the beauty of being nearly blind.
Mr. Henry—The officer says distir etly he heard you beg.
Prisoner—He heard me trying to get a living. What's
a poor man that's nearly blind to do.
Mr. Henry—Why, to the workhouse in preference to
begging.
Prisoner—l don't want togo to the workhouse. I want
to earn a living. I've been in the service for 12 years, and
on my discharge I got 6d, a day for two years.
Mr. Henry—What object can the officer have in telling
an untruth ?
Prisoner—What object Well, I'll tell you why, to get
a conviction to be sure. (Laughter.) To do that he'll
swear that black's white, and white's no colour at all.
(Laughter.) He'd swear a man's head off, he would.
(Laughter.)
Horsford—l distinctly heard him begging, your worship.
Prisoner—Oh I where do you expect to go to, (Laughter.)
As a man, your worship, I tell you I wasn't begging ; but
if you like to believe him in preference to me, of course you
can. (Laughter.) You can do as you like. As for that
fellow he'd not mind swearing anybody's life away. He's
a bad 'un ,he is. (Laughter.)
The evidence of the officer having been confirmed,
Mr. Henry said—l've no doubt at all but that you were
begging, and therefore I shall send you to'prison for three
weeks.
Prisoner—Very well, sir ; it's no use objecting.
As he was leaving the dock the prisoner came very close
to Horsford, and said—" You're a nice article, you are.
You'll get it hot some day."

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.
For the time of year, the show of foreign beasts here to-
day was limited, but the supply of sheep, lambs, and calves
was tolerably good. Sales progressed slowly, at late cur-

rencies.
With English and Scotch beasts we were seasonably
well supplied as to number, and their general quality was
vew prime. The attendance of butchers was numerous,
and the beef trade ruled somewhat firmer than last week.
In prices, however, no change took place, the best Scots
and crosses having sold at 4s 4d per Blbs.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we
received 2,300 Scots and crosses; from other parts of Eng-
land, 700 various breeds ; and from Scotland, 480 Scots and
crosses.
The supply of sheep was moderately good, and all breeds
came to hand in prime condition. On the whole the mutton
trade was firm, and the currencies were well supported.
The best old Downs realised 4s 10d per 81bs. The best
half•breds were worth fully 4s Bd.
Prime Down lambs were scarce, and in request, on
higher terms, viz., from 7s 6d to 7s Bd, in some instances
Bs, per 81bs, but inferior breeds ruled heavy, at barely pro •
vious rates. About 400 came to hand from the Isle of
Wight.
We have to report a slow sale for calves, at previous quo-
tations, viz., from 4s 2d to 5s 2d per 81bs.
Prime small porkers sold steadily, at full prices. Large
hogs, however, were very dull.

MARLBOROUGH •STREET, THIS DAY,
Tim HYDE-PARK ORATOR AGAIN. Samuel Owen'
professor of music, 13 Shaftesbury-place, Alders gate-street,
and who is well-known as the Hyde-park orator, was
charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with begging in Hyde-park
yesterday (Sunday), and Wm. Wilkin son, of 7, Colville
place, Fitzroy-square, glass deeorator, was also charged
with attempting to rescue Owen from custody. After
the examination of witnesses, Mr. Tyrwhitt dismissed Mr.
Wilkinson on his own bail, and required Mr. Owen to find
two bail in £25 each for six months. The question of
begging to be left open.
