WASHINGTON, July "A special agent of
the Danish government IS here to further ar
range for colonizing emaneipated contra
band negroes. 1t is confidently believed that
arrangements will be made.
The news of 300, 600 additional volunteers
will reach London AMI Paris simultaneously
with the news from Richmond. Such a put
ting forth of strength by the government is
expected to have wholesome effect on foreign
opinion on the war. s#
Reliable intelligence from our army at Fred
ericksburg reports an extraordinary light with
heavy cannonsding, heard last night in the
direction of Richmond. There are conjectures
of every kind as to the cause but nothing is
known.
All anxiety as to the safety of McClellan's
army is now dispelled, as the reports one after
another are canvassed, it is evident that, al
though attacked by a greatly superior force, he
has nobly repulsed the enemy, and punished
them most severely. During nearly q week s
fighting they are baffied in their repeated des-
perate attempts to annihilate his army.
General Pope viii remove his headquarters
to morrow, with view to escape ineessant in
terruption while he remains engaged in organ
izing the army Of Virginia and Washington.

The Case Of the Emily St. pierre.

In the House Of Lords, on the 10Th of June,
Lord Brougham, on behalf of his noble and
learned friend Lord Lyndhurst,) whose
health, as their lordships would be glad to
hear, had greatly improved of late [hear, hear, I
asked for the correspondence which had taken
place respecting the capture of this vessel by
the Americans, and the recapture- of this YES
sci from the prize crew. He understood that
there had been some correspondence. upon this
subject, and he wished to know from the noble
Earl whether there would be any objection to
produce that correspondence. ,-ra.,I s., n
Earl RUSSELL have no objection tolay the
papers before the House, as the correspond
enee is now closed, and Lord Lyons in his last
letter promised to send it home Immediately.
The opinion of law officers was taken upon
this question, and they stated that there was
no power in this country to surrender the YES
sci, or to give it up to the United States Gov
ernment. 1t was at that time supposed there
was no precedent to refer to; but have been
informed this morning that there is prece-
dent, singularly enough, when the British
Government demanded from the American
Government the surrender of vessel which
had been recaptured by the crew after being
seized as a prize. Mr.. Adams, the grand
father of the present American Minister
in this country, was then President, and be
replied that there was no precedent for such q
demand. The result was the British Govern
ment failed to obtain the redress they sought
from the American Government. Hear, ano
laugh.

INCREASED EMIGRATION FROM IRELAND TO
AMERIcA.-In the Cork Examiner we find the
following interesting item from Killarney
correspondent a
Within the limits of the county of Kerry
the rush to America is very much on the
increase. On Wednesday morning the nine
o'clock train from Killarney conveyed away a
larger number than l remembered leaving for
long time. The number of emigrants, and
the scene witnessed at the station, brought to
the recollection of many the departures during
the memorable fsmine years. The class of
persons now leaving this part of the country,
seeking for home in the new world, is COM
posed not entirely of farm-servaHts, but of
farmers tradesmen, laborers and house SER
wants, who cannot procure a decent living in
the land of their birth. | have inquired into
the cause of this increased emigration of farm
ers. and, from all l can learn, have come to
the conclusion that it is attributable to exter-
mination in the midland, northern and vest
ern parts of the country, where the small
farmers, who we're dependent on their crops,
were evicted from their holdings for non-pay-
ment Of rent. As regards the other class oi
pe-sons-I mean artisans and such ike-the
caase of their emigrsting arises from the i'm.
possibility of beng able to obtain employ.
ment at even inadequate wages. 1t is irnpos
bic to expect that the farmer or tradesmar

From the numerous extracts from the Eng

toas in America has gained ground in Eng
land In France that idea has been no less
warmly received, and we have before us more
than q hundred provincial journals which, in
reprint ting the article from the Constitutional
gave their full adhesion to it, Can such an
expression of public opinion in two great
countries hike France and England remain
without effect We do not think so; we en-
tertain the profound conviction that the cAuse
is gained, and that mediation is simply a cues
tion Of time. From our very heart we wish
that the hour for that mediation would strike
as soon as possible. Where is the man who
does not grieye at the thoughtsof the torrents
of blood which may still be she'd, of the de-
vastation which daily increases in America,
and Of the suffering which threatens the in

cannot be proposed with the certainty of reiec-
