The steamer City of Baltimore from
Liverpool 9Th via Queenstown, arrived this
morning.
The new gunboat Alexandria, built by
Miller d Co, Liverpool, recently launched,
was seized in one Of the Liverpool docks
on Sunday, the 5th, 10y the custom house
authorities on suspicion Of being intended
for the rebels.
The matter will be fully investigated
before any proceedings will be taken be-
yond the detention of the vessel.
The London Star considers the event an
exceedingly good omen and demands the
prosecution of the builders.
The correspondence between the own
ers Of the Peterhof and the Foreign office
IS published. Earl Russell says an exam
nation of the papers haging satisfied the
gov ernment there was no prinaG .tacie
ground of capture, and that the seizure
was wholly unjustiable; it has instructed
Lord Lyons to make an immediate repre-
sentation of the circumstances to the
Washington government, and if no legal
ground for capture is alleged, TO press for
release Of the vessel and Cargo, without
delay of prize court, but if any legal
ground for the capture be alleged, this
case like others must follow the ordinary
course.
1t is reported that two well known
American merchants had arrived at Lon
don to dispose Of two million sterling Of
six per cent u. S. bonds, aud with part
Of the proceeds to buy up the vessels
building in England for the Confederacy.
Ii was also reported they were authorized
to negotiate a loan of 10 to 90 millions
pound sterling.
The confederate loan touched three per
cent discount, but rallied to one and a
half
The American counsel at Hamburg re-
fused TO attest the signature to notarial
document. because the names of Schroeder
a. Co., who negotiated the Confederate
loan appeared in the document.
The Union Emancipation Society Of
Manchester held meeting to protest
against the building of war ships for the
rebels, and adopted memorial calling on
the government to vindicate the honor oil
England by stopping such proceedings.
The Polish instruction is reported in
creasing in various directions Sundry
conflicts are reported with varying sue
cesses.

The following information las been re-
eeived here fiom Milikeu's Bend, on the
Mississippi, near Nicksburg.
On the night Of the 10th Admiral Por-
ter succeeded in running the Vicksburg BAT
teries with seven gunboats of his squadron
and three transports. The Benton. his flag

ing the line of vessels. before the rebels OPEN
ed fire. The rebels then continued firing
from II A. M. till 2 p M. upon each sue
ceeding vessel as il passed. The oily dam
age done us was the firing ofthe Henry Clay,
and temporary disabling Of the Forest City,
another transport, and also shot through
the hull ef the Benton. Our loss was
but one man killed aad two or three wound
ed.
The rebel fire was far less effective than
was anticipated. They burned two or three
houses in the town as our squadron was pas

artillery to get good view of our steamers

CoNNEcrIcUT ELEcrIoN.-The Hartford
Courant thus disposes of the charge that
the election of that State was carried by
means Of the soldier vote:
Gov. BuckiGgham's majority is 2,7oo.
The whole number cf soldiers that came
home on furlough was less than l,loo.
At least one-tenth of that number voted tor
for Seymour, and another tenth could not
vote at all. Not ouer 900 soldiers voled,
iqsi Monday, The Union ticket. Instead
of the soldiers being selected, an some cases
Iev acere taken alphabetically from COM
.7lanies, and IN other cases the adgses OF
the faem6erg were placed IN a hat and ten
names drawn out-in both cases without
reference to how they would vote. we
regret tha. ali voters in Connecticut regl-
ments were not allowed 20 come home TO
vote. for we know that at least seven-eights
would have voted the Union ticket. The
staten of the Times that 5000 ssa.lsiiers
came home to vote is false. The statement
that the soldiers who came home were re-
ouired TO take an oath to vote for Bucklng-
ham. we pronounce equally false.
