[From Benedict Arnold's Proclamation to the Citi-

oct 20, 1850
You are promised liberty by the leaders of
your affairs, but is there an individual in the

among you dare speak or write what he thinks
against the tyranny which has robbed you of
your property, imprisons your sons, drdgs you
TO the field Of battle, and is daily deluging your
country lcih your blooda
Your country once was happy, and had the
prOffered peace been embraced, the last two
years of misery had been spent in peace and
plenty, and repairing the desolation Of a quar-
rel that would have set the interests Of Great
Britain and America in a true light, and ce-
mented their friendship.

OF most affectionatc welcome to all who are
disposed to join me in measures necessary to

Banks Successes.
Complication of Polish Affairs!

New YORK, May 22.-The steamship China,
from Liverpool on the sth, via Queenstown on
the 9th instant, has arrived.
American affairs receive little comment of
late.
The Times expatiates on the capture of Vicks-
burg and Port Hudson. II says It would open
the Mississippi TO the Northwest, diminish the
growing dissatisfaction there, and enable the
Federals to claim one more OF the real victories
of war.
A New York letter in the London Morning
Herald asserts that the Federal Government
is appropriating three million dollars to con-
ycy twenty thousand Irishmen to America.
In the House of Commons the course Of Mr..
Christie, the British minister to Brazil, and
Gen. Webb's attack upon him, was debated.
Palmerston and others defended Christie.
Mr.. Palmerston made some very uncompli-
mentary reflections on General Webb; said his
letter to Earl Russell was treated with the dis
regard II merited, and II written by British
diplomatist would be a sufficient ground for
instant dismissal.
The italian affairs were debated and some
severe structures passed on the Italian Govern
ment.
In the House Of Lords, Earls Shaftesbury
and Harrowby strongly denounced the Russian
policy towards Poland, and asserted that sepa
ration was the only remedy =.
Earl Russell expressed great confidence in
the humane intentions of the Gar. He said
that the question of separation might involve
a costly war, which England was 10th to engage
in without the most pressing necessity. He
believed that the public opinion of Europe
would influence the Russian Government to
restore the Polish constitution.
It is again asserted that Napoleon will pur-
sue his object alone. If obliged TO do So; and the
Polish insurgents confidently rely on his assist
ance.
Numerous engagements are reported, with
\ varying successes.
The news carried out by the steamship Ara
bia impaired a cheerful feeling to the Fcderals
in Liverpool. Encouraging deductions arc
drawn from Banks's progress.
The loss of the Anglo Saxon created pain
full sensation.
Politics are unimportant.
Tho Berlin Cabinet had a council on the 9TH
to consider the exodus from Posen of large
number of young men, fully armed, to join the
Polish insurgents. 1t is reported that the Min
listers are determined, for the present, not tc
declare Posen in a state of siege, nor to closC
| the session OF Parliament.

DUST ON THE AVENUE--A SUCCESS
TION

The Horse Railroad Corporation, to which is
given the valuable privilege of using the pub
lie avenues, ought to sprinkle Its own tracks
during the dusty days of summer. While this
cannot interfere with the enterprise If Mr..
Price, 1t will enable the latter to keep both
sides Of the track more thoroughly watered and
The whole will make the avenue cooler.
The comfort of those who travel in the cars,
as well as of the public on the streets, imPera-
lively demands this reform of the company.
II could be done with great ease, and at very
little cxpente. A tank placed upon trucks and

soTHERN.-The London theatrical critic, Tom
Taylor, thus pronounces a most favorable
judgment on Sothern in his nimitabe part of
Lord Dundreary;
Mr.. Sothorn is a very admirable actor, and
our generation has not seen on the comic
stage, since the death of Liston and Farren, a
better example Of thorough aud consistent
elaboration Of character, with that amount
of strong marking, which the stage requires,
or John Bull, at least, likes. Mr.. Wigan is
as consummato an artist, and has proved his
power in wide range of parts; but he is a
very delicate workman, and would probably
shrink from part so empty, and yet admitting
of such an elaboration OF this very emptiness,
as Lord Dundreary. The character which, as
introduced by the author of the play, was a
mere third-rate stage fopling, has been entirely
created by the actor. OF late we have been
unaccustomed TO real dramatic creation. In
the present slovonly and vicious condition of
the theatre an author has reason to feel salts
fed If he gets his words decently spoken. Mr..
Sothern Is an artist to clothe the dramatst's
conception in flesh and blood.

Gen. LOring's Rebel Force Cut or.

By the extracts from Richmond papers, which
we copy below, itappears that two battles have
been fought between jackson and Ycksburg-
one on Friday, the 18th, and another on satur-
day, the 10th.
The summing up shows that Grant had then
made grand march towards vicltsburg; that
he had captured many guns killed, wounded,
and captured many rebels that the rebel army
had been compelled to fall back,"a polite
phrase for the word defeated; that Gen. Loring
on the left was cut of, and routed; that among
the rebel generals killed was Gen. Tilghman.
The dispatch from the Richmond Enquirer,
below, shows that there has been a terrible
battle, and great loss. It acknowledges the
rebel loss to be three thousand
