RICHMOND, August !

hShMoNb, hpg'sl 10.
BY the arrival Of the Glasgow, from
Liverpool, at New York we have received
advices four days later than by the last
steamer.
The Queen in her speech prorouging
Parliament says:
The Civa War which has for some
time been raging in America has uufor
,unately continued in undated Intensity,
and the evils with which it has been AT.
tended have not been confined to the
American continent. But, Her Majesty
having from the outset determined TO
take no part in the contest, has seen no
reason to depart from that neutrality
which she has steadily adhered to.
In the House of Lords, Earl Stealth
p'eson moved for the correspondence
with Mr.. Mason, relative to the acknowl.
edgement Of the Southern States. Earl
Russell said it is not expedient to produce
papers. The Agent OF the Confederate
States was not recognized and all com.
muncations were unofficial. A corres-
nondence had taken place between
Messrs. Adams and Seward, but the Brit
'sh Government replied as before.
He stated that no communication has
been received rom any foreign power re.
la,ive to the recognition Of the Southern
States.
Earl Mathiesboro suggested tha, Gov.
ernment should communicate with other
powers with a view to offering mediation,
if a favorable opportunity arises, to which
Earl Russell agreed that il mediation is
offered al! powers should join in it.
The motions was finally withdrawn.
The London Times editorialy a,gues,
il England wishes to give the Federas
new impulse, she has but to take some
step which can he represented as inter.
ference, and Lincoln will soon get his
three hundred thousand men and the
chances OF peace viii be indefinitely post
poned.
The Journal De 81. Petersburg SAYS
there are rumors ,ha: Russia had joined
France in proposition from England for
the recognition Of The Coufedera,es.
10 Liverpool, Cotton advanced one
quarter to three eigh,s Of a cent. provis
ions advances. but the market closed
quiet on the 7ih inst. Breads,uffs and
provisions were unchanged.

Heroic Incident in New Orleans.

We are indebted to high authority for
New Orieaus, s,in,elligeuce of which reached
the city yesterday : Mrs II. Ii. Uyams,
wife of the Lieutenant Governor of the
State, passed on the street a number Of
Yankee officers sitting in door way AS
she went hy. One Of them arose and
followed her few steps, and, arrest,ng
her progress 10y placing himself in front
Of her, told her that she had omitted to
bow in passing. She attempted to avoid
the ruiiian, when he repeated his remark,
Buffers "Order No. %" with reference
to the treatment Of Union officers and
soldiers with respect. Endeavoring to
pass the fellow, he threw bis arm round
the lady's waist, and pressed his foul lips
her from his embrace, the Southern lady
cooily drew pistol and shot hun through
in the insoIent flush Of his cowardiv iri.
umph over the insu,ed virtue Of feeble
and unprotected woman.
Another Of the officers Immediately a.
rose, and approaching the noble aud
courageous lady took her by the arm
and told her, so that lhe other Federals
could hear, that she must accompany
him before Gen. Butler. H. immediate.
~ placed her in cab and drove away
but not to the beasts quarters. lie
directed the cab on, Of the city and
through the line OF seutries, and further
on still, until beyond the reach Of the "
rants ourposts. Tie act OF the heroine
had made a hero Of the witness. lie
told her that he considered her act justi
liable and noble, and that in moment
he had determined that she could not be
sacrificed 10 Bntier's vengeance, aud a.
dop,ed the expedient by which he had
rescued her. He continued TO escort her
on her journey through the country un.
I'll they arrived in the Southern lines at
Camp Moore, when he delivered himself
up to the Confederate authorities, to be
dealt with AS a prisoner or otherwise.
So ends this heroic and dramatic Incl
dent OF the war. Mrs. Hyams has set
lofty example for Southern women, and
the gallant gentleman who delivered her
has shamed its army and the Whole
North. We trust he has renounced for
ever the service Of the oppressors, and
that a rank equivalent to his deserts may
reward him in ours.-MoJike Advertiser,
l6M.

HoRRIBLg MuRDER-A Miss Vaughn.
of DE Soto county, was outraged few
days since by a negro and afterwards
murdered md thrown into Cold Water
Creek. After her body was found, the
negro was traced to Memphis, when he
was demanded Of the Federal authorities.
Incredible as it may seem, they rufusod
to deliver him up. In reply, they coolly
said the negro came to them seeking pro.
