ARTILLERY FIGHTING.

At the same time that this movement was com-
menced the batteries of the division stationed on
the bluffs across tho river opened with shell to aid
the exit of the rebels and cover our advance. The
rebel infantry having fallen back to their first line
of entrenchments and rifle pits, their batteries
opened with a vigorous and rapid fire upon our
columns, which now had come to a temporary halt,
awaiting the result of the artillery fighting. For
some time our artillery on the bluffs kept up a heavy
fire upon the rebel batteries, with such success that
the batteries on Taylor's-hill, nearly opposite Fal-
mouth, and commanding our right Rink, were
finally silenced. During the time the artillery of
the rebels was almost entirely devoted to the shel-
ling of our advanced troops. Occasionally they
would send a shot towards our batteries, but they
fell short or lodged in the town beyond.

taken place in prices. Last week's import amounted to 2

THE RIGHT AND CENTRE UNDER SUMNER.

The fighting on our immediate front and right
and beyond Fredericksburg was carried on by
General Sumner's grand division, comprising the
2d and 9th army corps. Shortly after 9 o'clock
the 2d corps, General Couch, which constituted the
right of the attacking forces, moved out from the
upper part of the city between the plank road and
westerly outskirts with strong detachments of
skirmishers. The enemy yielded gradually, though
they contested our progress with great stubborn •
ness, and for some time the rattle of musketry was
incessant.

Bating. the forenoon and the early part of the
atto.iloon of yesterday our forces remained in Com-
patutively quiet posesbiou of the City, though
our advance pickets kept up a desultory, strag-
g'ing fire with those of the enemy, whom they con-
tinued to push back towards the entrenchments on
the hills beyond, the monotonous rattle of musketry
being occasionally broken by the louder explosions
of artillery.

SEEDS.

Rapeseed was firm at extreme' uotations ; linseed ruled
toady, at full prices; but for other seeds the trade was
very quiet, on former terms. Cakes moved off heavily,
and prices had a downward tendency.

C 0 URT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Geulburn.)
IN RE WEST-DISMISSAL OF A PETITION IN " FORMA

rAurEms" ON THE GROUND OF FRAUD.
This bankrupt, Mary West, was a lodginghouse-keeper
at the West-end, and applied a few days since on her own
petition in forma pauperis, but in the course of her exami-
nation she admitted that she was in the receipt of a pension
of £l3O a year.

His Honour now, in giving judgment, said that in these
cases persons with means sought to obtain for nothing that
for which they were able to pay. He considered this was
an attempt to impose upon the Court. In this case it
was very clear, and he should therefore order that the peti-
tion be dismissed.

NEWGATE AND LEADENHALL.

The arrivals of meat from Scotland, and various parts of
England having increased to some extent, and the weather
being very mild for the time of year, the trade generally is

Royal Engineers, stationed in camp. It is situated
parallel to E, F, G, and H Lines, North Camp, by
which it is connected by a splendid road across the

THE CENTRE.

The 3d and sth army corps, under Gen. Hooker,
formed the centre, and co-operated with Sumner's
column during the battle. General Burnside was
anxious that a movement should be made as early
as possible, ar d, accordingly, at the break of day,
the troops commenced to move towards the enemy's
earthworks. T-ne men were full of hope and confi-
dent of success as they filed out of the city in splen-
did order. Skirmishing commenced shortly after
daylight, and in a short time afterwards the rebel
artillery commenced playing upon us through the
fog. The firing was so inaccurate, however, that
our troops paid but little attention to it, and kept
pressing on, regardless of the deadly missiles
which were flying through the air. By and by
our artillery responded, and for hours a most ter-
rific cannonade was kept up on both sides. The
enemy's position was one of exceeding strength,
and appeared to be invulnerable to our artillery,

much for us. All along the line the battle raged
with unusual fierceness, and when night came it
was hard to say who were the victors. Of the
killed and wounded there were probably as many
on the side of the rebels as on ours. No correct
estimate can be formed of the loss in Hooker's corps,
but it was pretty heavy. The firing of musketry
ceased about half-past 5 o'clock, but the rebels con-
tinued to cannonade the city until long after dark.
They evidently intended to shell us out of our posi-
tion in Fredericksburg, but thus far they have been
unsuccessful.

DECEMBER 14.

The battle of yesterday was one of the most se-
verely and desperately contested of the whole war.
It raged fiercely throughout the entire day, and
even after darkness had shrouded the field, it was
kept up with a determination on both sides as
though it was likely to last until one army or the
other had become so exhausted as to be unable to
maintain the fight any longer.

OXFORD MUSIC HALL.

Mr. Viotti Collins, the accomplished violinist,
has joined the company at this hall as solo player.
This is a further proof of the growing importance
of this hall. The elite of the profession are gra-
dually making approaches, and we may expect
shortly to find other first-rate artists thus absorbed
Mr. V. Collins plays the " Carnival de Cuba," and
many other brilliant and popalar solos, in all o
which he excites a furore.

REVIEWS OF THE WORK.
"Curtis on Manhood.—This is a trul, valuable work, and
hould be in the bands of young and old."—" Sunday Times,"
id 3s.arch, 1856.
"The author has conferred a great boon by publishing this
little work, in which is described the source of those diseases
which produce decline in youth or more frequently premature
old age."—" Daily Telegraph," March 27, 1856.
This work, which for twenty years has stood the test of
professional criticism and empirical hostility, treats in aplain
nd sympathising manner on the various disqualifications
nd
impediments arising from nervous excitement and de-
',ility ; and to invalids suffering from youthful errors and
xccsses it will be found valuable and useful."—Record.

711 E NATIONAL CHORAL I. OCIETY.

On Monday evening last the Christmas perform-
ance of the oratorio of " The Messiah," which had
been postponed in consequence of the death of the
lameted Prince Consort, took place in Exeter-hall.
" The Dead March in Saul" and Handel's Funeral
Anthem, " When the ear heard him," preceded the
oratorio, as a tribute of respect to the departed
Prince for whom the votaries of the arts have
indeed cause to mourn. "The Dead March" was
given very effectively, and the sombre drapery of
the hall and the mournful attire of the audience
harmonised well with the solemn and impressive
strains. The performance of the oratorio itself,
although not perfect, reflected very great credit on
so young a society. The choruses, with the solitary
exception of " The Lord gave the word," were sung
very correctly, and the general character of the
voices is of a high standard. A little toning down,
especially in the treble parts, is desirable; but we
have no doubt that under a careful conductor the
National Choral Society will take a prominent
place among our sacred performances. The solo
parts were taken by Miss Wilkinson, Miss Leffler
(who kindly supplied Madame Sainton-Dolby's un-
avoidable absence) ; Mr. Wilbye Cooper, and Mr.
Thomas. Miss Wilkinson acquitted herself credit-
ably, and Miss Leffler's performance it would be
unfair to criticise; her voice, however, is scarcely
equal to the part. The same may be said of Mr.
Wilbye Cooper, who was somewhat uncertain in his
performance. Mr. Thomas has a fine bass voice,
and is considerably improved in style. He gave
the grand air, " Why do the nations," with great
spirit and expression. The hall was crowded in
everypart, so much so that applications for admittance
were necessarily refused, and the performances ap-
peared to give great satisfaction. The oratorio will
be repeated on Wednesday, January Bth, when, in
consequence of the numerous disappointments in
procuring places, " The Dead March" and "Funeral
Anthem" will be also given, Tickets should, there-
fore, be procured as early as possible.

ABOLITION OF IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT.—
Yesterday the gaolers of the Metropolitan Debtors' Prisons
made their monthly return under the new law, showing the
comparatively few inmates of the Queen's Prison, White-
cross street Prison, and liorsemonger-lane Gaol, in which
latter place the number is under half a dozen, and in
Whitecross-street Prison under 100, whilst the Queen's
Prison presents a cheerless aspect as to numbers. The
racquet-grounds are nearly deserted, and but few collegians
flit about the place. The object of the new I,tw has been to
"make a clearance of the prisons," and it has been carried
out. The order of the day has been, "Let the prisoners go
free, and let the creditors oppose on the hearing, and put
them into prison if they are able." At the opening of Par-
liament a grand point will be made of the few prisoners
for debt since the operation of the new act. It was inti-
mated some time back that persons would get themselves
friendly arrested, and avail themselves of applying in forma
paupelis to get out, with but little expense, in a few days.
The evil has grown to such an extent, that amongst other
improvements ono is contemplated on the subject.
