RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

THE Clya WAR IN AMERICA.

LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY.

The Canadian mail steamer North American has
arrived, with ad7ices from Qaebec to the 10th inst.
Among her pasiengers are 33 noncommissioned
officers and privites belonging to the Army Hos-
pital Corps.

SEVERN VALLEY.

A special meeting of this company was hold yes-
terday at the office, Victoria-street, Westminster
Colonel Forester, M.P., in the chair:
Mr. C. E. Reed, the Secretary, having read the
notice convening the meeting, in compliance with
the standing orders of the House of Lords, a formal
resolution approving a Bill to authorise an altera-

tion of the terms of the lease of the Severn Valley
Railway to the West Midland Railway Company,
and for other purposes, was unanimously adopted,
subject to such alterations and modifications as
might be made therein by Parliament, and assented
thereto by the directors.

President Lincoln was at Fortress Monroe and
Newport News on the 7th, and had a distant view
of the Merrimac.
From General M%lellan's command we have the
following intelligence :
" BALTIMORE, Mq B.—The following is from
the American's account of the battle at Williams-
burg :—The battle on Monday was a most warmly
contested engagement, owing to the roughness of
the country and the bad condition of the roads.
But a small portion of our troops could be brought
into action: General Sickles's Brigade and General
Hooker's Division bore a great deal of the battle ;
and, in rain and chilled with cold, the battle raged
from early in the morning till 3 o'clock in the after-
noon, when General Welellan arrived with fresh
troops,rell9ving Hooker's Division, who were nearly
prostrated with fatigue and exposure, while the 3d
Regiment of General Sickles's Brigade had its
ranks badly thinned by the balls of the enemy.
They are represented as having fought with sach
imprudent bravery that they had not less than 200
killed and wounded-. After the arrival of General
M'Clellan the enemy were fiercely charged by
General Hancock's Brigade, and were driven within
their works before nightfall with heavy loss:
Nearly 700 of their dead were left on the field,
with many wounded. Our loss was less than 300
killed and about 700 wounded. Night having come
on, we occupied the battle-field, the enemy having
been driven within his works, and our forces lay on
their arms, prepared to storm the works in the
morning.

"At daylight on Tuesday morning Gen. M'Clel-
lan sent scouts while preparing to move on the
enemy's works,who soon reported that he had again
taken his flight during the night. The works of
the enemy and city of Williamsburg were then
taken. Fort Magruder was a most extensive work,
capable of prolonged defence, but the enemy had
abandoned it during the night, retreating in the
greatest alarm and confusion, as described by a few
dark
storesnumbers a n
d o f
waggons, munitions,
and considerable L
provisions were found
in the town ; while the road was strewn for miles
eraarbgele
with arms and accoutrements. A number of de-
serters also made their escape, and came within our
lines, who stated that they had received intelligence
that large numbers of Federal troops were landing
on York River, above Williamsburg, to flank them.
"As I close my letter, the latest intelligence re-
ceived from the field of battle is that M'Clellan has
come up with the enemy about eight miles beyond
Williamsburg, and, after pretty severe skirmishing
with his rear, has again put him to flight across
the Chickahominy. A large additional number of
prisoners had been taken,including many deserters,
who report that they had nothing to eat but a few
hard biscuits for 48 hours, and when brought fell
down in a state of exhaustion. Heavy cannonad-
ing could be heard by boats coming down the river
early this morning, but the result is not ascertained.
" To Editors.—Here the Government Censor, or
some of his subs, saw fit to suppress what they con-
sidered contraband, but which has been public two
days.

" D. H. C."

" There is no doubt that the whole army of Lee,
Johnson, and Magruder are in a state of utter dis-
organisation and under rapid pursuit by M'Clellan,
and are fleeing with great precipitation without
the intention of making a stand anywhere. Unless
they reach Richmond in boats by James River,
they will ePrtainly be intereeptect-twe b.6sva uy
forces landed and landing at West Point.
" Not less than 50 steamers are engaged in trans-
porting the balance of the army to West Point.
Large numbers of prisoners are constantly arriving
at West Point, and others are being constantly
brought in.

" On Monday the enemy took 80 of our men pri-
soners and captured one of the batteries. They,
having but a small support of infantry, were over-
whelmed by superior force of the enemy and com-
pelled to abandon the battery; but before the close
of the day this battery, with one of the enemy's,
was recaptured by Gen. M'Clellan. The prisoners
taken were found in Williamsburg next day. They
were engaged attending on the wounded the enemy
had left behind. Their retreat was accompanied by
too much confusion and haste to be troubled with
prisoners.
" Latest—l have just learnt that the enemy have
destroyed all the bridges across the Chickahominy
river, and that Gen. M'Clellan is resting his army
on this side.

" It will be remembered that the Chickahominy
runs parallel with James river, into which it enters.
It is the general impression that Gen. M'Clellan has
now got the enemy just where he wants them."
" NEW YORK, May B.—A special despatch to the
2imes, dated Fort Monroe, says that the Confede-
rates burnt their gunboats in York River.
" We have taken many prisoners in small bands.
" Two companies of the Illinois cavalry are re-
ported captured by the enemy.
" Gen. M'Clellan was struck by a piece of a shell,
but was not injured.
The opinion prevails that, if Gen. Franklin's
division received reinforcements in time, a great part
of the Confederate army would be captured.
" The roads are in a very bad condition, by which
our advance is greatly impeded.
" Nearly 700 of their dead were left on the field,
with as many wounded ; the most of the latter were
casual."

WILLIAMSBURG, May B.—Our loss was about 300
killed and 700 wounded.
"Night having come on, we occupied the battle-
field, the enemy having been driven within his
works, and our forces lay on their arms, prepared to
storm the works in the morning.
" The workb of the enemy tuns the city of Wil-
liamsburg were taken.
" Fort Magruder was capable of prolonged defence,
but they abandoned it early in the night, retreating
in the greatest alarm and confusion, as was described
by a few negro women who were found in the town.
" A large number of waggons, munitions, and a
considerable store of provisions were found in the
town, and the road was strewn for many miles with
ammunition, &e."

ing. They have passed Day's Point. Battling and
heavy firing have been heard up the river since
their departure.

" They will cut off the river communication with
the Confederate army south of the Chicamanico.
" Instantly after the gunboats started the Con-
federate tug J. B. White came out in front of New-
port News, having left Norfolk this morning with
a crew and two citizens, on a mission to Tannery
Point. By previous consent they ran over to New-
port News Point, and surrendered to General
Mansfield. This is the third time they have at-
tempted to escape, and they are most unhappy.
" Sewall's Point is being evacuated.
"The Monitor,Nagatuelc, and several other gun-
boats have just left for Sewall's Point."

" WASHINGTON, May S.—Despatches giving de•
tails of the operations of the fleet at New Orleans
have been received, but they contain no new points.
" NEW YORK, May 9.—Gen. Marcy telegraphs
the following :

until they felt the cold steel, when they took
to their heels and ran like hounds, leaving their
dead and wounded and sick upon our hands. Joe
Johnson led them in person. They have lost several
of their best officers.' The Herald's correspondent
gives the following graphic account of the magnifi-
cent charge of Hancock's Brigade on the rebels :--
Scarcely 100 yards were between the rebels and
the guns, when our skirmishers' fire became silent.
The lines of the sth Wisconsin and the 43d New
York formed up in close order to the right of the
battery; the long range of musket barrels came to
one level, and one terrible volley tote through the
rebel lines. In a moment more the same long range
of muskets came to another level. The order to
charge with the bayonet was given, and away went
the two regiments with one glad cheer. Gallant as
our foes undoubtedly were, they could not meet
that. But few brigades mentioned in history have
done better than that brigade did. For a space
which was generally estimated at three-quarters of
a mile they advanced under fire of a splendidly
served battery, and with a cloud of skirmishers
stretched across their front, whose fire was very de-
structive; awl if after that they had not the nerve
to meet a line of bayonets that came towards them
like the spirit of destruction incarnate, it need not
be wondered at that they broke and fled in complete
panic. 145 were taken prisoners, and nearly SOO
were killed and wounded.

" BALTIMORE, May 9.—Advicos Fortress
Monroe state that Sewall's Point has been shelled,
and a movement on Norfolk commenced.

"A battle has taken place at West Point, and the
rebels have been defeated with great slaughter."
Advices from Fortress Monroe report that on the
7th the Merrimac appeared, but made no hostile
movement. On the Bth the Monitor, Nangatuck,
Seminole, Susquehanna, Dacotah, and San Jacinto
steamed up towards Sewall's Point ; Capt. Gardner
of the Susquehanna in command of the expedi
tion. As soon as within range, fire was opened
with shot and shell against Sewall's Point. It
was nearly half an hour before a reply was
made from the Point. The Rip Raps next opened
fire, and then the Nangatuck, for the first time.
Several shots were fired from the single gun on the
extremity of the Point, when one from the Monitor
struck in the vicinity, it was thought disabling the
gun. The position of the Monitor was far in ad-
vance of the rest of the fleet, and she continued in
motion until within a mile or two of the Point, when
considerable execution must, it was judged, have
been done by her accurate firing. The Nangatuck
kept in the background, the range of the Parrot
guns enabling her to do so. Sewall's Point battery
replied briskly. The Rip Raps fired occasionally,
and a continual fire was kept up from the gunboats.
Nothing more occurred till 2 o'clock, when the firing
was very feeble from the Point. The Monitor about
this time returned from her advanced position and
joined the fleet. At about half-past 2 o'clock the
Merrimac made her appearance, when the fleet re-
turned, with the exception of the Monitor. In the
evening the Monitor returned to her anchorage.
The Merrimac remained in her first position.
Vza Havannah we have some particulars of the
capture of New Orleans. On the 18th ult. 21 mortar
and three gun boats commenced the attack upon
Forts Philip and Jackson, and succeeded on the
23d in silencing the fortifications and in securing
the safe passage up the river of 14 war steamers
bound for Now Orleans. Among them was the flag-
ship Hartford, on board of which was Commodore
Farragut. A severe naval engagement had occurred,
in which 11 Confederate gunboats were destroyed.
The Union gunboat Verona and the Confederate
steamer Webster had an action, which terminated
in the total loss of both vessels. The Webster ran
into the Verona and injured her so badly that she
was on the point of sinking, when she fired eight
guns into the NV eon-et-With bum terrine areet th.t
both went down together. General Butler had
landed 4,000 men above the forts. On the 24th a
flag of truce was sent to Commodore Porter to learn
the conditions of surrender, to which he replied that
the capitulation must be unconditional. The float-
ing battery Manassas had been sunk by the steam-
ship Mississippi.
A despatch, dated Chicago, May 7, asserts that
Beauregard was at Pocahontas with 75,000 men and
that General Lovell's army was at Patchapabo, on
the New Orleans and Jackson road, 50 miles north
of New Orleans.

According to a despatch of the Bth from the
vicinity of Harrisburgh, Virginia, General Cox had
occupied Giles Court-house and portions of New
River. The Confederates abandoned their positions
without burning them. The despatch concludes
as follows :

" The citizens remained, and seemed loyal.
"The defeat of the Confederates at Camp Creek
is more important than was at first supposed.
" General Milroy is now fighting and General
Schenick advancing. Particulars of these move-
ments are forbidden."

From Washington we have by telegraph the fol-
lowing dubious intelligence :--
"Messrs. Richardson, Knapp, and Robinson,
Illinois ; Law, Voorhes, Indiana ; Allen, White,
Noble, Pendleton, Morris, Vallandigham, Johnson,
Ancona, Pennsylvania; Shiel, Oregon, have issued
an address to Democracy, setting forth the party
of organisation is positive good, and essential to the
preservation of public liberty. This they consider
vital necessity, and invite all, without distinction
of state, section, or party, who are for constitution
as it is, and for Union as it was, to unite with them
in their great work upon terms of perfect equality.
This they agree is the great issue."
According to the latest advices, General Banks
was still at Newmarket, waiting for forage and pro-
visions.

Advises from General Burnside's command re-
port that large numbers of men had taken the oath
of allegiance, and that a regiment of North Caro-
linians had been organised. The General had
equipped two or three companies of cavalry, which
made frequent raids upon the Confederates.

DUBLIN, WEDNESDAY.

There is another court-martial in this city, which
is to commence its proceedings today at the Royal
Barracks. ,Colonel Philpotts, R.H.A., will be the
president, and the prosecution will be conducted by
the Deputy-Judge-Advocate, Major Darby, 86th
Regiment. The person to be tried is Mr. Anthony,
veterinary surgeon of the 11th Hussars. The fol-
lowing are the charges preferred against him :
" For conduct unbecoming the character of an
officer and. a :gentleman, and to the prejudice of
good order and military discipline, in the following
instances :
" First instance—ln having grossly and publicly
insulted Cornet Delacour, of the 11th Hussars, on
the night of the 29th April, 1862, in the mess room
of Island•bridge Barracks, Dublin, by calling him
a liar and a cur,' or words to that effect.
" Second instance—ln having, at or about the
same time and place abovementioned, grossly and
publicly insulted Cornet Delacour, of the 11th Hus-
sars, by striking him a blow on the face.
J. S. BROWNRIGG, D eputy-Adj t,-G en oral."
It is alleged that the prisoner received very gross
provocation from his opponent. The of air arose
out of an after-dinner dispute, in rhi

The Government have offered a reward of £lOO
for the detection of the person or persons who set
fire to the Queen's College, Cork.

THE MACAULAY STATUE.—We understand that
Mr. %Voolner has been selected to execute the statue of
Lord Macaulay, which is to be placed in the library of
Trinity College, Cambridge,
