Rewarded for GaIIantry.

NEw York, Aug. 7-It will be remem-
bered that previous to the capture of Rich
mond, propositions were maue that con-
siderable amount of money should be raised
and deposited with Gen Grant for presenta-
tion to the National soldiers who should
first replace the glorious old ensign of the
Republic over that city in their contem-
plated assault on it. The matter, however.
was not prosecuted to the extent designed,
and only $460 were raised; besides, Rich
mond was not taken by assault, but by the
forced evacuation Of the rebels. In consid-
Grafton of this fact Gen. Grant decided to
diyideithe money among the three soldiers
most conspicuous TO- gallantry in the final
assaulton Petersburg, which was in effect an

Latest Foreign News.

FARTHER POINT, Aug. THE steamship
Damascus, from Liverpool, July 9th, via
Londonderry, July 2Sth, passed here this
morning en- route to Quebec.
Her advices via Londonderry are one day
later than those by the City of Boston at
New York.
The political news by the Damascus is
unimportant. The advices from the Great
Eastern are auspicious. At ten o'clock on
the morning of the 2Sth July the Great
eEastern was about $50 miles out from Va
lentia, and had paid out 800 miles of cable.
The signals were good and the weather
fine.
The Brokers' Circular reports the sales
of cotton in the Liverpool market for the
week ending with Thursday, at $4,000 bales,
OF which $500 were taken on speculation
and 10000 for export. The market had been
dull and prices were I'D lower for Ameri-
can and 14@34d lower for other descrip-
tons. The authorized quotations are, mid
ding Orleans l934, middling uplands and
Texas 191sd. The sales on Friday, 2Sth,
were 5000 bales, the market closing dull
and unchanged. The stock in port was es-
timated at 322,500 bales, of which 3050O are
American. The Manchester market was
dull OH the 2Sth, and prices had a down.

New YORK, Aug. 1.-THE steamer Mari
posa brings New Orleans dates to the 29th.
The Matsmoras Monitor Of the Frontiers,
of the 22d, contains the details of the defeat
of COrtinas by Lopez. 1t appears Lopez
was in guard of convoy, and Cortinas, sur
missing the convoy contained large amount
of specie, determined upon attack. After
skirmishing while Cortinas' whole force,
numbering 600 attacked and were repulsed.
Another attack was made and again failed.
Cortinas men then became terrified and
fled in every direction. Cortinas lost not
less than 100 men. Those taken prisoners
by the Imperialists were Instantly shot.
The Imperialists had only five or six slight
ly wounded. One of their Lieutenants was
captured and killed. The convoy then pro-
ceeded to Monterey in charge of a portion
OF Lopez's force, and the remainder re-
turned to Matamoras. f---- ..-- q
The MatamOras Ranchero of the 23d says:
Among the rebel leaders steering for the
City of Mexico are Generals Kirby Smith,
Price, Wilcox, Magruder, Walker, King,
Preston and Leadbetter; Colonels Flourney
and Bannon; Governors Allen and Moore.
There were still at. Monterey Generals
Shelby and Hindman; Colonels Sackett,
Broadwell and Ridley; Governors Reynolds,
Clark and Murray. The latter is very ill.
There is a great deal Of sickness among
our troops, and Gen. Steele and three of
his officers are down with the break-bone
