Gskeeai, Quant’s eampaign against Bragg is reported at an end, pursuit and action with regard tothemain rebel army having ceased within the last few days. This, however, is not understood as favorable to Longstreet’s proposed junction with Bragg and esoape from the Intercepting forces of Gen. Grant. A rumor Is published that Longstreet is reduced to the desperate strait of talcing Knox vlUe or losing everything, and, therefore, accepts the former alternative. But most reports agree that the siege of Knoxville has been raised. It will be remembered that "Wheeler’s cavalry were lately en countered as near to Chattanooga, as Cleveland, We have an additional rumor that Burnside is fol lowing I-ongstreet In bis withdrawal, but this lacks corroboration, and Is merely plauslblo. Tho rail roads are entirely useless for the rebel general to escape. . A TStnonAM announces the arrival of the escaped rebel Qen. Morgan in Toronto, Canada. The cir eumsUtnoes of his escape, by 'cutting and digging under the prison," have tho usual character of ad venture which belongs -to tbis somewhat romantic outlaw. A letter left by the briokmaaon of Mor gan’s fugitive party, states that it took sixteen days, with A oouple|of small knivea, and threo hours’ work per day, for the band to effect their escape. Tbb dead-lock in theexohaoge business continues, but it is believed that negotiations are pending for a resumption of an exchange or prisoners upon just principles. The Government will not agree to tire rebel demand that all the prisoners in our hands shall be reloascd, while the rebel authorities retain a class of our officers and men in close confinement. The rebels will not agree to an unconditional ex change of a given number of men, but ask for the release of all the rebels in pur prisons, offering to consider those which cannot be exchanged, man for. man, on parole. General Meredith states that he every reason to believe that the stores sent to Siohmond by the Sanitary Commission have been properly distributed. A bevuqbb from Blohmond, recently arrived Within onr lines, and now confined, furnishes the following estimate of the present force of Lee’S army: Ewell’a corps, how commanded by Early, twenty to twenty’one thousand infantry, and six batteries of artillery; A. P. Hill’s .oorps, twenty thousand Infantry and five batteries of artillery; Stuart’s cavalry, eight thousand cavalrymen and two batteries of flying artillery—making in all forty, one thousand infantry, eight thousand joavalry, and seventy.eight cannon, provided the batteries are all complete. He also confirms the death of the rebel General Posey, and the statement that Ewell had retired to Charlottesville on account of ill health. By this gentleman’s account the present ration of the rebel army jis one pound of flour and, one pound of freßh beef, with very little salt, and nothing else. As for olothiog, they have a good sup ply, of very Inferior quality, except what has been Stolen from the United States, but not one-hull or them have shoec. ' Rumors of extensive captures by the Army of the Potomac lack all confirmation. The rival armies are confronting each other, and any moment may report a general battle. Mails have stopped running, smd the supply of rations to the army will last to December lotli. In the Alexandra case, the English Attorney General concluded his argument in favor of a new trial, on theMth, warmly praising American deci sions in similar cases. A majority of the replies lo Napoleon's letter will, it is 1 bought, seek for information as to the programme of the proposed Convention of Powers, whioh, according to rumor, King Leopold of Bel gium will be invited to draw up by Napoleon. The Value oi the Victory. The most gratifying item of the intelli gence from the West is the announcement that “ an order from Bragg recalled Long btrEET from before Knoxville, on the morn ing of the 26th instant.” We do not know how the press correspondent obtained the confidence of General 11 hagg or .General Longstreet, nor have we the authority for the additional statement that “ Longstreet was endeavoring-to join Bragg by. a circui tous route at Dalton;” but we accept the in telligence as the greatest value of our victo ry. We should have felt humiliated it the great victory at Lookout Mountain and Chat tanooga had not also been victory at Knox ville. General Burnside was hardly press ed, was making a strong defence, and could not easily have been driven back. But the full meaning of General Grant’s advance is unfolded in the Tetreat of Longstreet. The moment Bragg’s defeat became known to him, that General was bound to retrace his steps, to hurry-with all speed from the soil of Tennessee, with the unpleasant -con sciousness that his advance had accom plished nothing, save disaster for the rebel cause. It is more than probable that Gen. Burnside was placed in an apparently un safe position, but one in reality secure, simplvto tempt an advance of the enemy and a division of his forces. - Gen. Grant made no movement until Longstreet was so far on bis march that communication with Bragg was impossible ; then he advanced . upon the works on the Chickamauga. Longstbeet’s force added to that of Bragg wouM have probably saved the re bels from their utter defeat, and General Bragg eannot'be proud of his suicidal stra tegy in dividing a strong unit into two weak 'parts, and in losing the strong position be fore Chattanooga for the sake of a doubtful victory, at Knoxville. In the entire ma nagement of his campaign, General Grant has shown-military genius which places him in the first' rank of modern soldiers. For once, we have proof that strategy means something more than an unwillingness to fight, or a fixed resolution not to move an army out of a swamp. Tennessee is now free from all invasion or danger of invasion. Longstreet is literal ly defeated without a battle. Hooker, when he stormed Lookout Mountain, and fought, like the angels and fiends in Para dise Lost, above the clouds— Sherman, when he carried, by his impetuous assault, the works on the rebel right, actually drove back Longstreet. Victory for Bragg would have been ruin for Burnside, but victory for Grant bas sent Longstreet a - fugitive among the mountains, in danger of interception, and impotent, either to at tack or defend. The liberation of Burn side’s army is a matter of great import ance, not only to the West, but to the war in Virginia. It may again advance eastyaid ly, and will embarrass by its influence upon the railroad system of the South the whole military conduct of the rebellion. These - results are the value of the victory, and are not to be eclipsed by the incidental glory of • the battle—the rout of Bragg’s army, the capture of ten thousand prisoners and sixty guns. The completeness, the perfection of the victory, is its revolution of the entire situa tion, oi the whole attitude of the war. The End of the W ar. Knowing as'we.do the exhausted condi tion of the South; the scarcity of provisions, of clothing, and of munitions of war, and the impossibility of raising another army of any formidable numbers by the most rigo rous conscription; and knowing, too, the terrible bib# dealt to the rebellion by the conflict at Chattanooga, it is no longer pos-, * sible for tlie most faint-hearted among us to he haunted with tears of “ a long-war,” a calamity which certain Copperhead news papers have loved to prophesy, and zealous ly endeavored to bring about, by resistance to the draft, to the enlistment of colored troops, and to all the other war mea sures of the Administration. There was a time, not many months ago, when the dangers of a protracted war seemed very imminent. 1 here was a time when the at titude of Europe was threatening, and the enemies of the Union here in the North were bold and defiant; but these dangers, we think, no longer exist. Yet we cannot but deprecate the spirit ot over-confidence, that flying to the opposite extreme, con cludes, from the result of the recent battle, that the war will be finished up by Christ- mas. Thus, the New York Herald says: “The Confederacy is in danger not so much from Meade’s force in the front as from Ghaut’s fire in tbe_rcar. Starvation, too, is heiping the good work, and Providence is onthe side of the Union and the heaviest artillery.- Under these circumstances we expect that the war will he practically ended by the Ist of January, and after that it will not take many months to gather/Up and settle the odds and ends of the conflict.” This is certainly a very sanguine view of the situation—-almost too sanguine, we tear, to he just. The gathering up and settling of “the odds and ends of the conflict” will probably be a work of considerable magnitude.. Ab the New Tork Times truth fully observes: “ For a long time, certainly for months, and possibly for years, it "Will bo necessary to maintain strong National garrisons in every part of the rebel States— not only for the purpose of enforcing the authority of the National Government, but for the preservation of domestic peace." Until these objects are accomplished our work will not be ended. The war has, in deed, made rapid progress, and so far as the mere fighting of battles, the marching of armies, the devastation of territories, and the destruction of humanlife are concerned, we concede that it now seems to be very near an end. \ - A great work, however, still remains. A few large battles must yet be fought; the wreck of the rebellion, the shattered rem nants of- the rebel army, and guerilla war fare in general, will liftvc to bo cleared away and extinguished. Clearly the duty of the nation has not ceased? Urgent reason still exists for the reinforcement of our armies, and the earnest support of the Government. The full force of the nation thrown upon the rebellion may crush it out in a short time— parleying, indifference, and self-gratulation may produce new complications, and delay the result. The vigor which we throw into this last and crowning effort for the Union will determine how soon the Union will be restored, and how lasting the restoration. The Alexandra Trial. The 17th of November was the day upon which, before the five Judges of the Court of Exchequer, in London, the law officers of Queen Victobia would argue in favor of the rule nisi, for a new trial in the case of the Alexandra steamer at Liverpool being made absolute. These arguments, three counsel having to speak, wouldpro bably occupy two or three days, which would bring the case up to the 20tli ult. Counsel for the defendants would have a right to reply, arguing that -there were not legal grounds for disturbing the verdict which acquitted them. As the Michaelmas Term would legally end on-the 2oth ult, there would scarcely be time for the defendants’ counsel to argue the case—unless, indeed, they were allowed to do so in what are called the “ sit tings after Term.” It is not unlikely that the decision, if not the defendants’ argu ments, would be over into Hilary Term, which commences on the 11th of Ja-' nuary, and terminates on the Ist February, 1864. Even then, should a new'trial be granted, it will probably not take place until Easter Term, which includes the time from April loth to r May 9th. The case is im poitant, but delay appears inevitable. -That the Court of Exchequer will grant a new trial we neither believe nor. expect. The Crown lawyers charge that Sir Fnff dertciy Pollock, an obstinate man of eighty, who tried the' case, misdirected the jury, which misdirection led to the verdict by which the defendants were . acquitted. To this charge, for ruling, as it is called,; the Crown lawyers objected, and tendered a bill of exceptions, which the Judge, as a matter of course, ought to have signed. When this document was handed to him, the Judge refused to sign it, alleging that he never could ‘have used the words imputed to him. That he did use them was sworn to by the short-hand writer employed on the trial to report the case, verbatim, for the Crown, j Chief Baron Pollock set his own ipse j dixit against the sworn accuracy of the ] stenographer, and against what counsel j pn both sides, as well as every other ; person present at the trial, knew to j be the fact, because, we believe, he felt ] that he , had blundered, or worse, and did not desire to have his blunder placed on record against his character as a good lawyer and an upright judge. A few weeks after the trial Chief Baron Pollock was a guest at one of the civic banquets in London, where he made a 'speech that left no doubt of his holding as strong Secession principles as his friend Mr. Gladstone —whose father, by the way, made his colossal fortune, at Liverpool, by engaging largely in the African slave trade, and by cultivating plantations-.in the West Indies by slave labor. Tlie President of the Court by which the question of a new trial will be decided is the veiy same Sir F. Pollock who, the Crown lawyers affirm, caused a wrong ver dict to be. given by a charge to the jury which was in some instances opposed to law and fact. This is not even an appeal,- as of old, from, Philip drunk to Philip sober, but an appeal from a prejudiced old man, with a jury to influence, to the same prejudiced old man sitting on the bench, with four colleagues, and having himself a strong personal interest in publicly main taining that his conduct on the trisl ought not to have been impugned. Such being the case, we do not believe that the Court of Exchequer, sitting in banco, will grant a new trial in the case of the arrested Alexandra. The Chief of that Court is personally interested in a second trial not taking place, and the puisne judges, over whom he presides, may be expected to have a natural if unconscious leaning towards upholding the judicial character of the very aged gentleman who is officially their Chief. - The Great Western Sanitary Fair. Cincinnati, following the example of Chi cago, is about to hold a donation fair, for the benefit of the Sanitary Commission, as we leam from a circular forwarded to us by the secretary of the 11 Great Western Sani tary Fair Association,” a new organization, whose laudable aim is fulljf indicated in its title. Both the association and the enter prise with which it commences its career, are national, and... we trust will reap a na tional measure of success. This Western- Fair, as in the case of the Northwestern Fair, is mainly entrusted to the management of ladies, who have issued “an appeal,” in which they express the hope that 11 All the ladies of the North, as well as all the loyal men, will co-operate with them in this great effort to minister to the comfort of their kindred—fathers, brothers, husbands, and sons—in the camp and in the field, exposed not only to the imminent and terrible casu alties of battle, but also to hunger and thirst, sickness and death; away from home, friends, and kindred, with no mother’3 or sister’s hand to smooth their pillows, nor sympathizing hearts to cheer and comfort them in their hours of anguish and sorrow.” The appeal, we trust, will be generally and generously responded to. It is true that but little time remains for preparation, as the fair is to be held on or about the fifteenth of the present month, but sufficient time yet remains for our patriotic lady friends, and for the humane and generous of all classes, to enter heartily into the noble work of philanthropy. The ladies of Philadelphia should move at once in the matter, as well fer the reputation of our city as for the in terests of our brave men in the field. Rev. Henry Ward Beecher. Our citizens, we are glad to see, will soon have an opportunity of performing a grate ful duty—that of testifying their admiration and appreciation of the labors of one whom history will certainly rank among the fore most and mo3t intrepid champions of our country’s cause in'perilous times. The Kev. Hekry Ward Beecher bas consented to be present and address a meeting to be held at the Academy of Music on Thursday evening next. The meeting is intended as a voice of welcome to the illustrious orator, after the arduous labors he has gone through in. fighting for the great cause of American Nationality, against the ignorance, mis representation, and prejudice of English public opinion. Mr. Beecher, as an ora tor always forcible, brilliant, and of won derful power and fertility of illustration, has developed in hiß speeches in England, in addition to all these eminent gifts, a calm, comprehensive, and statesmanlike view of our public affairs, which bas astonished bis oldest friends and most enthushistic ad mirers. With what wonderful success bis great powers have been exerted in our be half let the altered tone of the English Go vernment and press, brought about by that unseen but irresistible influence of the public opinion of the middle class, which Mr. Beeches has done so much to educate and enlighten, demonstrate. We owe, in com mon with all our loyal brethren, an im mense debt to such a man, and our hearts' gladly recognize the obligation, and seek an occasion to gife it expression. Mr. Beeches will, no doubt, be welcomed by a crowded and enthusiastic audience. We understand that iris Excellency Governor Curtin will preside at, the meeting, and that the proceeds Will go to the treasury of the Sanitary Commission. WASHINGTON. Special Despatches to The Dress.

A letter received to-day at the central office, Washington, from an agent of the Sanitary Commie 1 sion, at Norfolk, Bays: Gen.

Relief to the Union Prisoners—Sir. C. C. Fulton to Visit Richmond. Baltimore, Nov. 30.—The Baltimore American says: “We have .opened a correspondence with Commissioner Ould which may probably lead to the establishment of some systematic arrangement for the care and sustenanoe of : our unfortunato pri soners, until suoh time as an exchange may be effected. With the conviction that there is neither a sufficiency of . food at Richmond for the people or the prisoners, .we have made a proposi tion to visit Richmond in our private capacity, with a view to aid in the establishment of some plan for the care of our prisoners, at least so far as their food and clothing is concerned. That an abundance of supplies will be forwarded from Baltimore and the loyal Stateß for this purpose, provided there Is a certainty that they will reach their destination, there can be no manner of doubt. All that is required, then, Is some medium of com munication between the donors and the receivers of their contributions. To supply this much-needed medium, we have volunteered to undertake this by no means desirable mission, if the Richmond autho rities will aooept the proposition. It will be seen by the following despatoh ffom the Secretary of War thatthe sanction of our Govern ment has been already obtained: Was Department, Washington, November 30,1863. To Mr. C, C. Fulton You are authorized to go to Richmond, as a pri vate eitlzen, to look after the provisions sent to our prisonersj and to do what you can to alleviate their sufferings.

He soon afterwards went into the rebel army, and, in the course of his military experience, was twice taken prisoner. He has seen and heard a great deal on both sides, and has sense enough to under stand and appreciate what he sees and hears, He is an intelligent, able, and brave man, with just pre tension to some genius. He is now. within the ral lines in Arkansas. * - The attention of the General PostrOfflce is re spectfully directed to the fact that, under the. new railroad arrangement, the train which left Washing ton at half past 8 o’clock on Saturday evening did not carry'the mail, owing to the alleged absence of a proper person at Philadelphia to receive the enor mous amount of mail matter that should have been sent forward to Philadelphia on that evening. And we also understand, upon inquiry, that letters in tended to be sent off last evening by the only train connecting with New York at Philadelphia on Sun day were not despatched. When we consider how raacy interests depend upon the continuance of this practice, we feel'free to direct the attention of Go vernment to the fact.

It is supposed these houses were oooupied by the rebel sharpshooters, and destroyed by our shells. liOßgßtreet received orders to retreat on the 26th, and it is reported he has fallen back.

General Foster has reached Knoxville. | &rant,has thrown out forceß to intercept Long street before he can reach or pass Cleveland. Burn side will follow his rear, and co-operate or join with the forces of Thomas, Sherman, and Hooker. Despatches from General Grant announce that among the prisoners taken at Chattanooga were a large number of those paroled at Vicksburg, and never yet exchanged, and asks whether he shall pro ceed against them according to the established usage in such cases. Ac the established usage in such eases is to shoot the persons so found, it is probable it will not be followed, but ,it is equally probable that there will not be any more paroling after the Vicksburg fashion. It"is not easy to see what re dress we can have for.the orime thus committed by the rebel authorities in requiring these men to break their parole. ANOTHER ACCOUNT OF THE BATTLE. Cincinnati, Nov. 30.—The special despatches from Chattanooga arc confided to lists of the casualties in the three days’ operations. Our losses are stated officially not to exceed 3,200. From the Gazette's ac count of these operaliens' I make the folio wing ab stract: : A few minutes after 1 A. M. on Monday, the troops all being in line of battle and the enemy lining ttfe crest of the hill looking upon the magni ficent array below, the heavy siege guns of Fort Wood, under the charge of Lieutenant DunwidJie f of the 12 th Wisconsin battery, opened fixe, and General Wood’s division moved'forwards At the same time the pickets in his jAt began skirmishing, and on being reinforced, the enemy into their rifle-pits along the creelTand at the base of an isolated k;iob, half way between Chattanooga and Mission Ridge. At the same time the enemy opened with artillery from the iluige, revealing three batteries in the cen tre of their lice; but cone of the guns were of suffi cient calibre to reach Fort Wood.; ' As General Wood aflyanoed, he Boon got under the fire of these guns, and suffered considerable from them. General Wood moved with apart of Hazel’s brigade on the right and Willich on the left, General Sam. Beatty being in reserve. The Bth Kansas did the skirmishing for the entire line. ‘ The enemy waß' encountered before the first hun dred rods had been traversed, and while Wood’s front became immediately engaged, he pushed for ward rapidly, driving the enemy before him into their rifle pits, and began in earnest a'very brisk and rapid fire. The fight in the woods was of short duration, for General Wood, finding, the enemy safely ensconced behind huge rifle pits, ordered a charge of his whole front; and two brigaded of Willich and Hazel, charging with a yell, went into the rebel works without faltering ; Gen. Wood says without a strag gler. The enemy broke and fled to his second line of works at the mountain, losing‘in his disorder about 200 prisoners, representing mainly Hindman's division, and a large portion belonging to the Bth Alabama Infantry. The enemy, finding his lice breaking in disorder,, opened a fire of artillery fiom the Kidge to cover their retreat, and for a few momenta this was very ■ vigorously- maintained. Tattle or no. damage was done, and General Wood reported and receiv@4;ln reply that he had met with such signal success, and had gained so important a it was .de termined to hold it, and orderß were given him to entrench himßelf.. At.the Bame time a division of General Sherman was moved forward on his right to support him, while General Howard’s corps moved on his left, in order to proteot his flank, A small but deep-stream .lay in General Howard’s front, and it was determined to obtain possession of that as a defile to his position. But the enemy had built strong iifle-pitß on the east bank of.this stream. Though the force in Wood’s front Sad been routed, there still remained a force in the works bn his left flank, and these were developed as.soon as Gen. Howard moved forward and,attempted to take position on the creek. He became engaged in a sharp skirmish, the enemy persistently holding their own. ... - ... .... ■ ■' Seeing this, Gen. Granger seht~ Gen. "Samuel Beatty "by' * 'flank movement to the right of this position. He came upon the enemy’s left flank very ■unexpectedly, and after a few minutes fighting on their flank, with a vigorous attack by ..Gen, Ho ward in front, the enemy fell back, and we found ourselves in entire possession of their first line of rifle-pits, and the important portion of Bald Knob.- .The posi tions taken were entrenched, and the centre.found itself next morning in a strong defensive position, i awaiting operations on the flanks.v / ... I During .the night ,of Monday Gen. Sherman sue- I ceeded in reaching his position on the north side of the river, opposite to the mouth of phickamauga creek.

The coming election of Mayor does not excite as much interest or enthusiasm as it would; naturally seem to demand. The Union party seems not only to feellna degree satisfied with their recent tri> umphs, butto be suffering from one of those dan gerous reactions, which are as much to be feared la the political as in the corporeal system. It is true that leading men, of the highest respectability, are .working earnestly for the interests of the city; but the advantages which might naturally result from these efforts will he in a measure counteracted by the -lukewarmness of the great bulk of the party. A most unfortunate circumstance is the unpopularity of Mr. Orison Blunt, their nominee, with many members of high standing. No personal uhfitnesß is. alleged'aeainst this gentleman; nor, in fact, are the grounds of the somewhat factious opposition very clear, Such speculations, however, are rather,im pertinent, when we consider that the results mußt. ‘be practically the same at the polls, whether the ob jections to him are, or are not, well'taken, Frag ; ments invariably follow their leaders, and Mr. Blunt will, in all probability, be dented the votes of many. His antagonists are O. Godfrey Gunther and Mr/Boole, of street-cleaning notoriety. The latter seems to stand the best chance of election, especially as all the dustmen and garb age-collectors will tupport him with their suffrages and their fists; Opdyke, the present incumbent, it is said, will, 1 about the first of the ensuing year, ily to a higher and more agreeably-feathered nest. It is asserted in political circles, with much positiv'eness, that , Mr. Chase will shortly decline the Treasury. De partment, and by steppinginto Chief Justice Taney’s shoes make room for Opdyke; or in default, that Mr. Barney, collector of this port, will resign in his favor.. At all events, there seems but little ground for doubt of his speedy advancement to some higher -and more eminent position, which will bring his. peculiar talents into more active exercise than the mayorally demanded. ‘ ABOUT THE RUSSIANS. Admiral Lissoffeky, of the Russian fleet, who, by his extreme courtesy and estimable private and official character, quite won the hearts of our'metro politan patricians, paid his respects.to the plebeians ■ by a handsome donation to them from himself and - his officers, The object of the donation is the sup ply of poor families with coal duriog the winter 5 and; in view of the exorbitant prices demanded by dealers, the poor will stand much in need of this generous assistance.' The amount was handed to Mayor Opdyke for distribution as circumstances might warrant, Much has been said of the courtesy shown these gentlemen by our citizens and the authorities, nor has the truth been transgressed herein ; now, however, that the gallant officers'are well out of sight, there can be.no harm in revealing the existence of an undercurrent which hag set strongly towards certain people, and out of the pockets of our gueßta ; in faot, of a pleasant and de licious phase of piracy. Much SB has been written and spoken in favor of the magnificent women of America, it is uselessto oonceailhe fact, that the portion who are given to sight seeing, and the patronization of distinguished foreigners, are, in numerous cases, reflectors of a very poor quality of credit upon their sex, or the city whioh they infest. During the visit of the Prince of Wales, they pursued him with an inflexi ble purpose which was not to be overcome 5 rallying wherever the shocking bad hats of himself and suite •were visible ; pinning him at the Prince’s Ball, and storming his private apartments, until poor Wale* was pretty thoroughly used up and discomfited. In odo instance they scaled a partition balcony at hie hotel, in a manner which the peculiar qualities of crinoline could not, with delicacy, allow j and the police were at length forced to interfere on behalf of the crowds in the street below. These ladies are not sewing eirlß or domestics, but representatives o f wealth and blood: and when the miserable Ijissoffaky came with his officers to thaw out in our harbor, these delicious creatures descended upon him like a host of ‘‘the demdest little fascinators in all the world,” and devoured their substance, root and branch. It must be understood that the gentteaisa have in no. case complained of this peculiar treat ment, but have merely given way to their astonish ment at the number of well dressed female beggars who have swarmed their decks, and with all the vulgarity of “I Am Blind,” and more than their audacity, begged everything which might serve as souvenirs, from jthtir gallant hosts. Snuff-boxes, oigar* cases, charms, and' baubles—some of them of great value, and the gifts of friends or relativesnt home—were asked for in a manner that: would admit of no iefuaal whatever. Many articles pur chased by the officers during their trip to Niagara I were thus confiscated by the wholesale, and tn one case, a ship of the squadron was thoroughly stripped of every silver coin (Russian} by these same vulgar .curiosity hunters. These matters are common talk amdpg those who have had opportunities for judg- Log; but regard for the feelings of the officers has, heretofore, prevented any mention of them In the public press. Since their departure, however, it is only just and proper that these incessant bores of 'every foreign guest who, unhappily for him.self, seta foot upon our shores, should be exposed to the ooa tempt they merit. - The Russians have evinced a great desire to be* come thoroughly acquainted with our (to them) singular methods of life and business, and have not hesitated to explain and comment upon their own, in return. They expressed muoh astonishment at the habit, now so prevalent among ladies, of wear* ing their hair in curia, as at home only the vulgar adopt the fashion •, the same remark is also applica ble to the light and brilliant colors of female appa* rel. The tea in use among the Russians is invaria bly brought directly overland, as they argue that the Bca air deprives it of muoh of its original flavor and aromatic quality. The tea-flower itself is employed. As a consequence, they were In nowise satisfied even with our finest brands, and when their own stores were exhausted gave up in despair, after having searched the city in quest of some which would be palatable. Despite all draw-' baoks, they deaorlbe themselves as heartily gratified with their visit, and will probably give a good ac count of the inevitable Yankees on their return. NASSAU. The authoritieo of the Revocue Deportment are suddenly turning their eyes towards the steamers arriving at this port from Nassau, and taking pre cautions for Intercepting rebels and rebel correspon dence, who and which are now being overhauled most thoroughly. Prom time to time, documents of no little importance have been in this manner disco vered j but, until now, no special attention seems to have been paid the matter. Shortly before the first assault of Fort Sumpter by the monitors, a chart of Charleston harbor, with the obstructions marked out upon it, and all necessary directions for blockade run ners, was seized upon the person of a passenger from Nassau. Since then, two bearers of Confederate des patches have been caught, and any quantity of insig nificant traitors. The steamers seldom fail to bring, at every trip, a number of blockade-running captains, who are prodigal in their boasts of the money which they hare made in their illegal ventures. These men, who are generally British subjects, are always defiant,. and stand upon a degree of dignity which is altogether refreshing, and not to be sneezed at. A recent arri val brought no less than four of these opulent gen tlemen, one of whom brought with him forty thou sand dollars in gold, which he carried in a bag of plethoric dimensions. Upon their persons was found a quantity oi correspondence with both Southern and Northern rebels, and, among the rest, a letter from Governor BXorehe&d, of Louisiana, introdu cing the bearer to the kind consideration of .Teff Davis. It is more than.probable that, at some time not far distant, a few of the prominent Copperhead gentlemen may taste the supreme joys of martyr dom, upon the evidence of these same letters, which are now undergoing the sorutiny of lynx-eyed offi cials; STU YVES ANT. Public Entertainments. Arch-street Theatre.— lf GXfa. D. P. Bowers has not figured extensively in our columns, it is no fault of hers. She is a sweet, fascinating actress, has a delicate, loveable figure, a deep, full, emotion al voice, tinotured with a sligit melodious utter ance. Years ago, under thejWheatiey management of the Old Arch, when she and Mrs. Drew perform ed together, she possessed many of the qualifica tions of a good actress. Her London experience comes to her aid now, and has helped to develop her into a very pleasing star performer. During the present engagement variety ban been the order of the day. Old plays were first ex hausted, and then new ones were placarded. Taking into consideration the protnlaes of lessees, the pre cent system of theatrical management appears to be anew way of paying old debts. The public is so used to seeing Mis. Bowerß in characters which are worthy her gifts that it cannot take kindly to ao il legitimate an offspring as “ Camilla's Husband.” ■We are not positively certain whether the title ia spelled aright. The various advertisements have it “ Camille,” " Camilla,” “ Camlllia.” So far as it could be understood, the plot appears to be as follows: An interesting young lady ia looked up by her guardian and forbidden to obtain possession of her property until she is of age and married. Her guar dian reserves her for bia son. She escapes; is married at an inn to a young artist who adores her devotedly; but to whom' she is wedded on condition that he will never have anything to say to her. They part. A period of one year and of four years elapse The lapse of one year happens in the second act, and the lapse of four years, (still proceeding, as far as we can comprehend,) happens in the third. There is .a duel brought about somehow. Lady Camilla Hailstone interferes to prevent It. Notwithstanding, a sword fight positively does take place in the ar tist’s studio, whilst Camilla looks breathlessly on. The duel terminates in the complete discomfiture of 1 Lady Camilla’s cousin, and Lady Camilla herself lays claim to her husband In a transport of joy. _ The popularity which Mrs. Bowers enjoys, the sweetness of her demeanor upon the stage, and the study which she has devoted to her art, contribute to a continuance of success. She is a good rather than a great actress. Indeed, Bhe will never be a great actress. She is too entirely sweet to be that. She understands all that is delicately passionate, and she delineates what she comprehends with a consis tency and force which seem alien to her emotional na ture. Moreover, she is industrious and persevering. She is never tired ol producing new plays. She is never’weary ol reproducing old ones. On this account, if on no other, we pardon all the shortcomings in dramas of such a character as “Camilla’s Hus band.” The way in whioh Mrs. Bowers acts is enough to mske almost any one willing to be Camil la's husband, and the husband himself more than satisfied. The Arch-street' Theatre was three-fourths full last evening, and Mrs. Bowers was much ap plauded.’ Mr. Barton Hilljas Maurice Warner, aud Mr. Stuart Kobson aa Dogbrier , were very good. The play .was well placed upon the stage, almost all the accessories being excellent. Many of the audi ence, to be sure, were in come doubt as to the exact date, but the fact of the portrait ol Lndy Hailstone turning out a daguerreotype cannot place the epoch very distant. Too much praise cannot be awarded to Mrs. Bowers for her enterprise in pra. aentiDg new plays as welT aB old. ShedressBs with admirable taste, and is so exceedingly graceful that the slightest g« sture seems the suggestion of nature rather than art. With our eyes wide open to the fact that Mrs. Bowers is prone to woo popularity by the charm of mere novelty, and to court admiration in illegitimate drama, we are almost ready to pro nounce her one of the best star actresses, la her peouliar line, whom we have yet seen/ Natiokal Cieous.— The success of the Oircus .has become an established fact. The only proof which the public seeks after is that which is to be found in visiting the National Hall, and in joining With the mulitude which nightly applauds the per formance. . . TIIE CITY. [3POR ADDITIONAL CITY NEWS, SEE FOURTH PA<3R«I Anniversary Meeting op . the Young Oheistian Association. —The nmthanni versary of the Young Men’s Christian Association was held last evening at Concert Hall. The main room and gallery were crowded with a large and fashionable audience. The stage presented a fine appearance, it being decorated with a number of American flags, and was entirely taken up with’la tiies and gentlemen. The exercises began with an sung tfy the efficient choir attached to the Green-street Church, under the direction of Profes sor 'William G. Fischer, of Girard College, after which the: opening hymn, commencing " All hail! the power of Jesus* name, 1 ’ was auog, the audience" joining in. The Rev. Franklin Moore, D. D., then read the 110th Psalm, and a portion of the 2d chap* ter of Paul’s first Epistle to John. A prayer wsb then ©fibred up to the throne of Grace by the Rev. Daniel C. Eddy, D. D., for a blessing -to rest upon the Association, the country, and the soldiers. Mr. Alexander Sloan then read the annual report, of which the following is an abstract: The Army Committee of the Young Men’s Chris* tian Association was organized July 4th, 1661, and consists of twelve members, of whom Mr. P. B. Simons is ohairman. One hundred and nine meet ings haye.been held on as many Sunday evenings, and collections taken to the amount of nine thou* sand dollars, which was appropriated as follows: •Hymn Books, 40,000 copies; Bibles and Testaments, do.; American Messer.ger> 41.600 do.; other read* ihg material, in traot form, 6,179,009 pages. The'register kept by Jos. Parker has over 27,000 names of sick and wounded soldiers on it. The treasurer’s report, with balance on hand last year, shows, with lectures, -donations, dues, &c $2,405.15 Various incidental expen5e5.............. 2,264.41 Balance on hand. $U0,74 Meetings are held on the fourth Monday evening in each month, to which all are cordially invited. Mr. George H. Stuart, being introduced, said, he believed the Association had, under the direction of God, been the means of promoting a Christian union among the people. They have brought for ward, as laborers in Christ’s vineyard, the young men of the various churches. These young men, thus banded together, have gone forth amid the wicken and sinful,"and have been the means of lead ing multitudes to JJesus. An incident of a young man coming to this country, whose prospects were bright, vet he was walking in the broad : way that leads to everlasting destruction, but ths mean 3 • thrown out by thiß Association accomplished the salvation of this young man, and now he hold* the high position of a minister of the Gospel, and has contributed thousands of dollars to the support oi the soldiers. When this war broke out, thU asso ciation and also kindred associations found them selves greatly reduced by the loyalty which a num ber of their members showed to their Governor by leaving their counting-houses andmarchitfg forward for the preservation of law and order. The asso ciation has sent forth over fourteen hundred unpaid ministers to attend to the bodies and souls of the soldiers. Thousands of hymn-books, Bibles, tracts, and boxeß of clothing and food, to these men, have ako been forwarded and distributed. Let us be en couraged by the heroism of the young tnen who arc now braving’their breasts to the bullets of the enemy. Christian young men of Philadelphia, if you Would cDjoy close communion with God, employ your time in working for .Tesus; and you will be abundantly Wesßed for it. _ • , After the singing of a hymn, Mr* George Cook man, late president of the Aesosiation, delivered his retiring address, in the course of which he said: In retiring from the position which I have held drnvbg the past year I take this opportunity of thanking the members for the great kindness they have continually shown to me, and for tbeir co operation in all my undertakings. After a few re marks he extended the right hand of fellowship to the newly-elected president, Mr. Peter B. Simons, on behalf of the Association, whom ha then intro duced. Mr. Simons Baid he had taken upon himself a great lerponribitity in assuming the position. t<f which he had been chosen, but lie-felt it was a duty that he owed to God not to refuse in carrying on such a good work. Let us girfi up our loins afresh, and point to our past hiEtory, and! turn in earnest prayer to God to enable us to carry on . the good work which Buch men as Stuart and* Ccokman have begun.* , “Bock of Ages! Cleft for me,” was then suug, after which the Rev. 30 E. iydaice wa« introduced, who related several incidents snowing toe import ance of Christianity, and the duty devolving upcwi the membersof rhi&assooiation. He made allusions to the President of the TJnltedtStates, which ware received with unbounded applause by the audieoice, and continued for leveral ctiuutes. His remarks were interaperaod throughout with putriotich sen tences, whioh otieited much euthueiaam. He was followed by ex-Qovernor Pollock, and the Roy. V. S.

There was great excitement In the gold market to-day. ThB gloom of the morning, occasioned by the non-re ceipt of news from Gen. Meade, was succeeded about 11 o'clock by the moßt ea travagant rumors concerning cap tures of half of the rebel army. - When this exploded, doubta and fears were expressed concerning the general position of military affairs, and the several three cheers given by the gold board were followed an hoar after wards by sundry wails and moans from the “Balls.” Between the efforts of the Bears and the Balls gold bounced about most deliciously. Opening at 146%, it rapidly rose to 140. and as suddenly fell to 146%; rose to. 148, felloffagain to 147,up to 147%, and so on- for the rest of the day, closing at 147#. , The money market was well supplied, and the right kind of collaterals brought all that wai required at percent., the latter figure predominating.
