REPORTB FROM RICHMOED.--An English
man who left Richmond a week ago, and
arrived here last night, brings informa-
ton, Of which some is new, and all is
regarded as trustworthy. He has been
in prison since the first Of July, when he
was arrested as he was attempting to
come North. After frequent application
through counsel, he finally secured an
unconditional release, and was about a
week at large in Richmond before coming
North.
During his Imprisonment he was at
first confined with DIR. Rucker, who is
charged with having acted as a guide
and spy for the Union forces in Western
Virginia. The rebels afterwards put DIR.
Fucker into a cell three and half feet
high by five feet long, where he still is.
he is miserablY fed, on what will just
support life. That he may not kill him
self, guard is kept constantly watching
him. Our Englishman was on board the
Merrimac No. 2 last Friday He says
that she will not be ready for service for
six weeks. One Of her engines had too
small a screw, which had to be replaced.
She is 70 carry eight guns, for which
she has eight PORTFOLIOS, and two pivot
guns at Che stem and stern, for each Of
which she has three port holes. She is
sharp at both ends, and has a sharp run
at the bows. This refugee says that
there are very few soldiers az Rich
moud ,ialmost all hitherto there having
been sent forward TO Gen. Lee. Even
some who were awaiting trial for
forging muster-rolls, and for other de-
grading offences, and others who were
imprisoned for repeated deseftions, had
been hurried to swell the ranks of the
rebel Potomac army.
The Englishman thinks that North
ern General who should capture Bich-
mond would be welcomed by nearly
two thirds of the citizens He says il
is the large negro owners and negro deal
ears who are heartily for the rebellion
A half moon OF Notifications surround
Richmond at the distance, on the aver
age, Of half mile from the city. These
works are not regularly mounted with
guns; few only, and those of inferior
calibre, are in position at long intervals
Citizens and negroes are, however, now
laboring with great energy in erecting q
second line Of works five miles from the
city.
Whoever, in Virginia, uses Che WORD
'rebel," in speaking of an inhabitant OF
the Confederate States, suffers six
months Imprisonment at hard labor. An
English born citizen was so punished /.
few months ago. Mr.. Cridlam, the Brit.
ish Consul in Canada, is in sympathy
with the South, having been interested il
heavy contracts for the importation o
of supplies contraband of war. He il
much complained of by British subjects
for not protecting their rights when they
conflict with rebel Interests Wash Cof
