WHO BUILDS THE REBEL SHIPS,
From the London Star

While the alabama was in course of con struc-
tion at Birkenhead, the American Consul at
Liverpool made representation on the sub
ject to the Custom authorities. Nothing
came of it, and further repres we're
made, we believe, to the Board OF Trade.
This also proving Intellectual, the opinion of
Mr.. COLLIER, Q. c., was taken on the lawful
ness of the proceeding, under the Queens
proclamation of neutrality. The learned gen.
tleman's opinion was decidedly against the
builders or owners of the vessel, and was,
therefore, submitted to the Foreign Office
The law officers of the Grown were then con-
suited on the matter, and their opinion, we
understand, entirely conceded with that of
Mr.. COLLIER. 1t became, therefore, the duty
of the Government to prevent the departure
of the alabama, but by the time this decision
was arrived at she had left the Merssy, and, per-
haps, commenced her career OF degradation
and destruction. 1t is known that as many as
nine other ships are being built or equipped
in British harbors for the service of the Con-
federates. II they were to'serv simply and
strictly as vessels OF war-if they were to be
employed in an attempt to break the block
ade, to recover New Orleans, to fight the Fed :
erals in the Southern rivers, or other iegiti-
mate arts of warfare-they would, neverthe-
less, be subject to arrest ana detention They
would come clearly within the prohibition of
acts tending to aid and assist either belligerent
From the London News
A Government cannot be answerable for ev-
cry paltry infraction of obligations to which
its subjects may be tempted by self interest.
But here We have nothing less than regular
dockyard establishment in full work, making
a navy to be used against friendly Power, af-
ter We have declared our neutrality. We put
it to her Majesty's Government whether, for
the honor of Her Majesty, it is not bound Ell
ther to terminate this illegal state OF things,
or withdraw the proclamation

Secretary Chase recently advertised that he
would offer 100000 seven-thIrty bonds
for sale. When the bids were opened it was
found that their aggregate amounted to $780,
000, 900, and from par to 81 IL premium. This
shows the great confidence which the monied
men of the country have in the ability of the
Government to subdue the Rebelio and is
in striking contrast with its credit during Mr..
Buchanan's Administration, when his Secreta-
ry failed to secure loan of smaller amount
at l2 per cent interest.

The notifications and alterations made

see, from a careful perusal Of the bill be-
fore the changes were made, as our people
had much to complain Of There was no
hardship imposed upon the me n of means,
and those of small incomes and in modcr-
ate circumstances were almost entirely e1-
empt. We do not purpose, at this time,
to GO into particulars, because the bill
may still undergo many changes and fur
Their, because its present condition to some
extent, is unknown. We are assured,
however, that the manufacture of lumber
Is stricken from the Bill. All that is
necessary to state, and all that can be
safely affirmed at this time. is 10 announce
to our readers and the public, that the
bill as reported bears upon its face the
most conclusive evidence that the Com
mittee labored to perfect tax bill which
should bear lightly upon those of moder.

Having said this much in regard to the
tax act, word as to its necessity. and
the duty of meeting it like men. The de-
velopments of the past year pretty con.
clusiyely show that we are Indebted to the
slave power and the managing men of

boon OF the present war. 1t is this pow.

A fuller account is contained in the fol-
lowing despatch, dated i" Before Yorktown,
Saturday evening
Hon Edwin VI. Stanton, Secretary Of
War: That portion of the army of the Po-
t1mac recently concentrated at Old Point
advanced yesterday morning in the direction
Of Yorktown, II miles distant. The right
was assigned 70 Gen. MJrrill's brigade Of
Gen. Porter's division, two companies of
the 81 Penn. cavalry, and portion of Bar-
don's sharIshooters. Nothing OF interest
took place until their arrival at BIZ Bethel
| , miles distant. where they met tie outer
pickles Of the enemy. The troops were de-
laysd here two hours in constructing bridge
Which bad been destroyed. The rebels re
trelte1 before the advance of our skrinish-
ers to IlOward's Creek, wher. they had some
abandoned earthwnrks. Four shots were
fired here by the rebels from two piece,
which were soon silenced by the 4th Rhode
Island battery, when the rebels beat a hasty
retreat, taking their pieces with them.
The main body of the army here rested for
the night. wn;le Gen. Morrill's brigade ad-
vanced three miles to Cucklerdls and Six
miles from Yorktown, anu there encamped.
BY . clock this Saturday morning, the
column was again in motion, and at re2
clock was IN front OF the enemy works at
Yorktown.
The first shot was fred by the rebels, the
shell passing over the heads OF ten. Porter
and staff, without exploding.
The Batteries of Griffin, Sd and 4th r. !.
and 10Th Mass. were now placed IN position,
replying to every stot sent by the rebels.
The cannonading continued with but
slight intermission until dark. About 400
shells were fired by both parties during the
day.
The position of the rebels is a strong one.
From psesent indications their fJrtiications
extend some two miles in length and mount
heavy guns The ground in front is low and
swampy, making it utterly impossible.
