CCorrespondcnce of The Press. ] New York, April 10; 1863: A BRIGHT DAY has been such a rare occurrence for the past'three - months that' its pleasant realization today brings* out the spring-bonnets in rich profusion, the luxury of being able to promenade'leifeurely from Union' Square to Stewart’s and back again, without urn-: brella or overshoes, being a temptationit is not in-, the power of New York womankind to withstand; Thecoolnesß of the air today, even, at' compels the fair idlers to retain, in moat cases, the> flowing winter cloak as a part of their, walking dress,» and here and there a-last-season’s velvet bonnet in dicates, individual moral- courage; but, as a general thing,'the fuli-drees- perspective of; Broadway this: afternoon is springlike and fresh. The' old-New Yorker who takes a stroll aloDg the great metropoli tan boulevard to-day, cannotfail to notice one very marked effect of the war. The masculine dandies, (for many of them were men, with all their eti'emina cy,) have become a comparatively scaroe artiole, and are only met at long intervals man afternoon’s walk. : Since the war commenced, the breed has been gradu ally thinning out,-until-now the fop erircgU is almost extinct on Broadway, save as his modified counter feit appears in the occasional person of some newly-' arrived young scion of the British middle class, or that >of some native tailor’s eldest born. 'I do not refer to the bewitching creature who acts as lady usher in the fashionable dry goods store when I speak of the genuine Broadway fop, nor to the more., “numerous” young counter-jumpers of >the : next rank. These are but weak and-ill-sustained irnita tioDß of the genuine article. I mean the veritable dandy of good family—the bank president’s son or the merchant prince’a heir. -He and all his kind, I say, have grown steadily less/. frcquent upon Broadway on a clear day since the war commenced; and, al though quite a number have gone to Buropc by the consent of their Seccsh papas, a greater number r have joined the army. Many of the latter were certainly sad snobs before they put on shoulder-straps, and it took all the stern authority of their loyal fathers to drive them into camp; but now they are distinguishing themselves in a hundred regiments (principally cavalry) as gal lant captains and lieutenants; and if we can believe the Walpoleon war-chronicles of Mr. NYP. ‘Willis, in the Home Journal , the. fastidious taste , and egregious vanity of their Broadway fophood, have turned into the military neatness and dignified demeanor of the .dashing young hero of. a charge. Of all the British officers in the Crimea, none were more distinguished for their daring, and endurance under hardships, than the young lieutenants and captains who had, until the war, been the most effeminate fops of Lon don. At least, so says Mr. Bull Bun Russell. We, may hope for as much, if not more, in the career of our warrior Broadway beaux; for American dandy-, ism is, after all, only a superficial affectation of fo reign mannerisms, and underneath it may lie a na tive manhood, more noble and unflinching for the ordeal of battle, than all the noisy ruffianism and truculent bravado of the burliest bully of the pur lieus. This city has actually done what the South has only boasted of doing; she has .sent hundreds of. gentlemen soldiers to the field—young men whose very vanity as fops‘would make them afraid to come home with the brand of “ coward” upon them, where the coarse bruisermight safely slink backto his bunk in the engine house none the worse for such imputation. If the beau of the club house, trans formed into a lieutenant, trembles when his regiment is ordered into action, he trembles still more at the idea of having that fear noted and recorded forever against him in fashionable society, and the two op posing impulses of fear produce that dead-lock of feeling which only- relaxes into affirmative action When the ferocity of the man fighting for his life has taken its place, and turned cowardice into he roism. So there is much .to congratulate the nation upon in the scarcity of fops in Broadway on such a walk inspiring day as this, and if the spring bonnets are a little disappointed at finding so few elegant youths, abroad to admire them as they flirt by, that disap pointment will be more than counterbalanced in the pardonable pride they .will feci when tlieir old admi rers come home in laurels, and add to their delightful stare of admiration that distinguished look of lofty patronage which is inseparable from all true mili tary dignity,! ' : THE SUMPTER MEETING, at Union Square, to-morrow afternoon, will assu redly be thegreat demonstration of. the war period, should no unpropitioiis storm, prevent. Leading men of both political, parties, c and anumberof_dis tinguished military dignitaries,.will speak from, the .. various .stands, and the sight alone wiil.beworfch a Mongjouraej. . • " ,/, v Speaking of meetings, it.is Btated-that the loyal Democrats are about .-to. hold, a mass, meeting, here, fbr the purpose of disavowing their connection with Fernando Wood’s copperhead .faction, : and showing “the country that all Democrats: are ,not. traitors. The tale reads well. THE IRISH RELIEF FUND . has received a noble contributionfrom Gerrit Smith, whogives his check for $l,OOO.- Mr. Smith may have Mb idiosyncracies as a theorist and impracti-. cable philosopher, but the oppressed and needy ever find that he has ‘ ‘ A heart to pity, and a hand to bless, ” whenever his benevolence ia . appealed ;to or at tracted. That he is a consistent and practical friend to the poor negro, is not more true • than that he is .equally the friend and benefactor of-the poor white man who needs his bounty. THE COUNTS CASTIGLIONI, named in the Associated .Press despatches .from "Washington, as holding high position under Victor Emmanuel’s Government, and receiving distin guished rattention at present in Washington, is the veritable tall nobleman whom I spoke of in one of my recent letters to The. as a decreasing lion of fashionable society in. this city. The. Count is nearly as tall as General Scott, and after towering to his heart’s content amongst the admiring young belles of Fifth avenue, has. probably gone to Wash ington to measure personal attributes with Uncle Abe. The Count, I believe, sympathizes with the Government in this war; which Bhould be a great comfort to the Government., His loyalty may serve to counterbalance the lamentable defection of the Count Gurdwskr A CORONATION ROBE of velvet, trimmed lavishly, with gold lace, is a great attraction in one of the windows .of a-Broadway store, its interest being rather iffereased than dimin ished.by the fact that Baid robe was worn by-his sable majesty, Soulouque, of Hayti,* when, he was crowned sb Emperor. Singularto relate; the Daily Vallandigham (otherwise known as the New York.

A JOKE iB told about town concerning an English gentleman recently arrived here. Whilst visiting and inspecting one of our large dry-goods estab]ishments, and ma kinghimself‘disagreeable to'-his polite entertainers, in true English style, by vulgar sneers at all things American, a salesman respectfully called-his atten tion to the illuminated cover of a box in which some expensive embroideries had; been, imported, and which bore a very beautiful picture of the departure of Sir Charles Napier’s flag-ship, the“ Duke of . Wellington,” for the Baltic,- in 1856. The fine frigate was pictured as surrounded by smaller craft of every description, and at a short distancefrom her appeared an iron-clad “monitor,” turret and all, theexact ; likeness of our American 1 “ cheese-box!” The polite salesman, with the air. of; one: greatly surprised, ventured to inquire, of the Cock ney if it was really true that- “ monitors” were in use with the English at that period?- “Oh, yes,” responded Cockney, with. a swagger, “ I remember seeing the blarsted iron clads building at ’ome twelve years ago. Just show that to your bloody h’Ameri cans ; they’re nothing but .copyers after the h’Eng— lish, any’ow.” The salesman bowed; gravely,‘-as though demolished by the proof he had received of his country’s inferiority; bub shortly after the de parture of the Britisher there was much mirth throughout the institution, inasmuch.as the-moni tor figuring in the picture of the English flagship had been nicely added with a lead-pencil by one of the ; clerks, who is a very expert draughtsman.

It seems as though one woe trod upon another’s heels in. the case of the poor Cop perheads, who are being exposed, baffled, disowned, 1 ' and snubbed in all directions: Scarcely had; Fer nando Wood & Co. lost a whole army of their, sud denly*enlightened Irish adherents by the revelation of their conspiracy with the English .Q-overnmenfc and intrigue with. Lord Lyons against the Union, wheh this “K. G-.

London,-March 26.—The rimes says the seizure, by Admiral Wilkes, of the private merchant steamer Peterhoff, although not having a single contraband article in her cargo, is to be submitted to Earl vßus sell to-day,(Thursday), and the result is regarded-- with great interest by the commercial community, since it iB Baid that Atlmiral Wilkes is; thus dealing with all vessels on - their way to Matamoroa. It is assumed that the Peterhoff must be released, but an adjudication at Key West occupies six months, and there 'is then an appeal to -New /York or Phila delphia; The avowed policy of Admiral Wilkes is, it is stated, to’ seize all vessels under analogous cir cumstances, without any question of right in the • matter, since he can thus, owing to the delay, pre vent the possibility of any supplies of goods reach ing the Confederates through Mexico. The value involved in the ship, and cargo, in the present in stance, is about .£70,000. She had a British mail'on board. - - FRANCE.

He referred to the case of the Ala bama,-and thought the House-was bound to inquire into the delay of the Government and its action in that matter, more -especially as he believed that other vessels were fitting out.

Correspondence upon tills Sub ject Between Earl Russell, Mr. Adams, and.Lord.Lyons—Tire “ Alien Enlistment Question” Settled at LastV, . EARL RUSSELL TO-ant. ADAMS. Foreign Ofvige, Jan 24,1563,. . Sir : It is impossible for me to leave without notice some of the statements contained.in your letter of the 30th"ultimo. These statements contain. or imply a grave charge against her. Majesty’s Government,, You.speak of the. “ admitted, fact of a violation 'of. a this kingdom intended to prevent ill-disi>osed persons jfrom involving it in difiicuUy, by committing.wanton and injurious as-' saults upon foreign nations with; which it'is at peace, of which her Majesty’s Ministers are invited to take cogni zance; of which they do itake. cognizance, so far as to prepai*e measures of prevention; but which, byreason of cu-cumstahces, wholly within their own control, they do not prevent in- season to save the justly complaining party from,serious injury.. On the.substantial points of the case, little room.:seems left open for discussion.” On .the substantial points of the.cise, as stated by you, there is, on the contrary, great room left open for dis cussion. . I must ask, first, wha,t are the circumstances within the control of the Government to which you allude ? Do you niean that her Majesty’s Government, in construing : a penal statute, or in carrying into effect the provisions ol a p.enal statute, were to hurry at once to a decision, . and-to seize a ship building and. fitting,out at Liverpool without being satisfied, by evidence, that the provisions of-the foreign enlistment act had been violated in the case of such .vessel? Do you mean that lier Majesty’s Government were to .dispense with .proof, and, to inflict injury upon the Queen’s subjects by seizing a sliip upon your mere Assertion that the owners of ; that ship were violating the law ? ■ ‘ - . - If such is your meaning, I must reply that the Govern ment of this country respect the law. They do not seize upon property to-tlie loss and damage of its owners with out proofthat they are legally entitled todoso. Perhaps your meaning is, that her Majesty's Govern ment should have proceeded on the opinion of Mr. Col lierwithoutwaiting for other authority. Buthere, again, I must reply, that the usage of . this country requires that tie Government should consult their, own legal advisers, and obtain the opinion of the law Aflicers of .the Grown before they proceed to enforce a penal statute. ' If. you mean to contend, therefore, that a nation in a stale ofprofound peace should, set aside the formalities of law, and act at once upon pi’osumptions.and surmises, I entirely differ from you. I may remind you that evi dence sufficient to satisfy a com*t of law as to the “equip ment” or “fitting out” of a .vessel for warlike purposes, and of its actual destination, is not'obtainable without difliculty. : If you .moan that.her Majesty’s Government wilfully . delayed or neglected the measures by which the charac ter cf the Alabama could have been legally ascertained, I must give a positive and complete denial „of the truth of any such assertion. The opinion/of tlie law.officers, until the receipt' of which her 'MajestyV Government could not act, was delivered at the Foreign Office on the 29th of July ; but in the morning of that day the Alabama; .under pretext of a pleasure excursion, escaped from • ; * . - • ■ 'With regard,to the very different circumstances of 1793 and 17E4, those circumstances are recorded in history. It is notorious that M; Genet, the French minister to the United States, .fitted, out privateers in the ports of the United States; 1 that.he boasted in his despatches .of the capture of British vessels /wdiich these privateers had made, and that, he procured a sham condemnation of those vessels captured in neutral ports. It is notorious, also, that he endeavored to make the United States; the basis of his operations and attempts to,,raise rebellions against England in Canada and against Spain in Lou risjafia. ' ’ ' :t . . According to your own account, the United States . purposely delayed to give any redress to tho complaints made by the British Government of the captures of Bri-. - tij-h merchant-vessels," because they felt unwilling to act ; on a policy of repression till they had given dne notice of the construction they put upon a treaty offensive and de fensive with Branca, which had been quoted in defence-. of the depredations committed on British commerce. It is evidentthatby so acting, the United States Go : . vernment deliberately made themselves parties in the interval'to the proceedings carried on in their own ports, and the same Government, with the. sense of justice which distinguished them, made compensation .after wards for the injuries inflicted uuder cover and protec tion of their own flag, and promised ;to exclude French privateers “ from all further asylum in their ports.” In Air.

Here is the injury stated, and here are the grounds why it was permitted. . But the British Government have given : no to . belligerent privateers bringihg prizes into English ports. . They have, no particular reason to allege. They have not forborne to use all the means in their power. They have used all the means they could use consistently with, the law ofthe land, and by no fault.of theirs those mgans . in a single instance proved inefficacious. There was no want of a statute to enforce, nor of a will to enforce it; ; evidence was wanting,- and' an authority jo decideupon , that evidence, till it was too late. But her Majesty’s Go vernment cannot promise the United States to act witn out evidence nor to disregard the legal authority ot their own law. officers. .

" But with respect to .tlio • statements. your letter that, large f'nppjms .of various kinds have bcen’sent. from this country by private specu la'ors for the use of the’CoQfederatcs, 1 have to .observe that that statement s only a repetition in detail ol apart of the assertion inade in ray previous letter.of the 19th ultimo-that both parties in tbe civil war have, to the extent of their wants and means, British,sab iects to violate the Queen’s proclamation,of the 13tli of May/- iSGb which forbids her subjects from, affording. suen supplies to either party. ; • It is no doubt, true that a neutral may furnish, as a . matterof trade, supplies of arias and. warlike stores’.im r partially to both belligereqtsin a war, and it was not on che ground that such acts were at variance wjth.the, law of nations that the remark was made in the former note. But the Queen having issued,a proelamation.lbrbiddirig her subjects to afford such supplies to either party in the civil wav, her Majo&ty’sGoY.ernment are entitled to com plairi of both parties, for. having/induced: her’Majesty’s ■ subjects to violate the proclamation, and.their complaint applies most to the Government of- tiie United States, bß causo it is by: that Government that ; by far the greatest amount of such supplies liayebeen ordered and procured. : Ido not propose to disem s other collateral topics which havo been introduced, but in. explanation of my former letter I must say that I never meant to accuse yoU'of. giving any encourageinen.t to ; the eullstment of British subjects in this ’country to serve in. the civil war unhap pily prevailing in the united States. But it is notorious that largc.bouaiies have been offered and given to British.subjects residingin tlie United States to engage in the wav oxi the Federal side; and these Bri . tieh -subjects, acting in."defiance of- the la\vs of their, country and of. the Queen’s proclamation, have been en couraged by the .United'Sfeles GovernmenC'Bo to act. ■; A recent and striding loxample of the open avowal of jlhis course ofconduct on. the part of the United States is to be found in the correspondence be vtween Mr. Seward- imd> Mr.-Stuart with reference to the screw of.the-.Styibeaihj in which, sUhqugU i[ doe-'VftQli THREE CENTS. appear l that any bounties were offered, Mt.

We print this morning the address delivered by Commander James Alden, of the United States eteamship Richmond, omMarch 22,.1863[, announcing the death of the late Lieutenant Commander Cum mings, whose gallant fate has made his memory a precions'namedn history: THE ADDRESS OF COMMANDER ALDEN. With deep sorrow I call you together to announce the death of our late executive officer Lieutenant Commander-A. B. Cummings, at New Orleana. It haa pleased God to take from among us our gallant friend in the fullness of his energies and usefulness. You all well know the importance of his services in this. ship; his conscientious .devotion to duty ;: his justice and.even temper in maintaining disci-, pline; his ability in preparing for emergencies, and his coolnessinmeetingthem. All .these qualities He ; brought to his country in the hour of need, and he has sealed his devotion with hie life. The fatal cannon shot struck him when he stood on the bridge cheering the men at the guns and directing their fire. He was thrown down upon the deck, but his pre sence of mind still remained. “ Quick, boys, pick. me up ; put a tourniquet on my leg. Send my letters to.my wife.. Tell them I fell in doing my duty.” When below, he said to the surgeona, “If there are others worse hurt, attend to them first.” “ No lan, are you here, too?” He inquired about Howard, and his thoughts were directly of others and of suc cess-in the fight. When told that the noise he noticed was from, the .escape of steam, and. that the ship could no longer atem the current, he exclaimed, “ J would rathe)' lose my othei * leg than go f back! Can •nothing be done?. .There is a south wifia; where are the sails? ,} . - • . Friendsthe .high object of our country in this war is “ that peace and happiness, truth and justice,. religion and piety, may be established among us for all generations.V In this sacred cause has fallen the Christian gentleman whose death we now lament. In .this cause have fallen all the brave men whose blood has stained these decks. We cannot do our duty better, but let us, at least, try to do it as well. JAMES ALDEN, Commander. THE .DEATH. OF COMMANDER CUMMINGS. In this connection,.we are also permitted .to pub-, Hsh an’extract, from a private letter, written by a lady in New Orleana to a [friend in this city, giving a touching. account of the death of Commander Cummings, and the honors paid to his memory by. the Union people of New Orleans: - New Orliuns, March 23,, 1563. - Dear* * *V Another brave man has fallen, a martyr to hiß country’s flag, and your friend. Mrs. ,A. B. Cummings, .is a widow. Lieutenant Com- ; -".mender Cummings .was. wounded on. board the Richmond, on the night of March 1 14th, while at* tempting the passage of the batteries at Port Hu dr son. His .wound, although a severe one, was not, at first considered mortal. He : .wa3 removed from the It. to the steamboat Iberville, at Baton. Rouge, which left the \evening of the lSth for this city. During the trip, Dr'. McGowan, who had been with him. all the tame,discovered that he was sinking fast,, and could not possibly livelong. . Dr. McCowan then informed Lieutenant Cum mings of the painful fact, biit was astonishedat the, calm, and beautiful, manner with which the intelli gence .was received 5 he conversed in the. most cheer-. ful manner of his approaching end., I have heard several persons who saw.him. remark that his calm- . ness was wonderful. 1 , He ivas entirely free from . and.suffered : only from extreme weakness. After he was first struck he spoke pleasantly to his frieiids of his,wound, remarking;■ that he would never be, ashamed of it, as it was an honorable one. “In fact,” he said, “I think! shall be rather proud of it than otherwise.” • • After being told that he could not live, he said, to oneof hisfriends, “Ihave professed .the faith of a Christian, and I die strong in iny hope.”, Oh, Emma, to how. few of us is given such strong faith ! : What a powerhis religion must have had to support him.'. thus gloiiqusly.while dying fajc away, from those who made this earth-happy to.him! Lieutenant Cum-, mings lived until'the Iberville reached the levee. He died, on. board t and not at. the hospital, as the. papers erroneously, stated. It was the,' intention of his friends to take ;himrto Mrs. Captain Smith’s house had he lived. He would not,’on any account, have been taken to a hospital.. My aunt would have htul.bim brought here if Captain Smith had not had the prior claim. ‘ Dr. Shively, of . the, .Mississippi, wlio.was .with. Lieutenant C.* when he drew his last. breath. Bays he never saw such.a death,! He said he noticed that his breath came at longer interyals, but he could.not realize that death was really approach- . ing. Three minutes before he died he lifted his hand to his mouth to.wipefrom.it a few v drQpßjfchat,had been left upon his lips from a stimulantthat had just been given him. D.r. S. wiped.hia mouth for him/ Lieut. <J. looked at him gratefully and smilingly,.then closed his eyes quietly, and, without, the slightest quivering of a muscle, hia spirit passed away, and his sVui.was :with,its Maker. He died if, Kq had merely gone to,sleep. His boy. who had served .and tendered him with the utmost fidelity, could' not ref alize that his maßter was..realiy.gone. When..the sad ' truth was Jorced upon!him,,by seeing DiyS.ten derly. cover the lQyed and. familiar face, he knelt be side the berth and burst>ini'o a paroxysm of; tears. Everything .that the m,ost, tender friendship could suggest was done to. mjike.Lieut. Cummings com fortable. He. was, much! beloved! by cers. Iknovv many of his friends, and they all unite in their praise of him, asa Christian aiffi.agehtieman. His loss has,been and the .greyest'symi' pathy is expressed for,. hia.poor wife.;' His body waß taken to, the Pensacofa, where it re mained until-Tuesday.morning, r Marcji J7fchj then it was escorted to Qhrist Church, The heafse.vWas preceded by a company of marines-apd sailors.from the, Pensacolaj. following the hearse, and .walking, were Commodore Morris, Capt. Smith, and’,all the naval officers then in the city. A, number, or/army officersfollowed; then along line of carriages.' My aunt and I went to the church, and. wqre.Quite near the coffin, was placed* ip front of. the chancel, wrapped in the flag for wb&h he died hands had placed upon the cofpniflowei's—a.beaUti iul wreath of white flowers and several bouquets. Although he was far from,his kindred, warm hearts were not-lacking to briag their feebfc tribute to r deolr a hero’s coffin. . ' ‘ ' The services at tha churqhwere ofthe most solemn character. A,s he was pot to! be buried' here, the whole serviqe the dead was readatthechuroh. jt' There were many friend® of the deceased present; : but l, probably,. was the only person there who, had ever even seen the poor young wife, who at that mo ment little dreamed of .the gore, sore trial that awaited her. I prayed earnestly that our Heavenly Father, who had sent the blow, would eomforfc bier as no earthly cpmftwte? can. After leaving the church the body was to b.e taken to a transport,* to be conveyed to the North. As Iho coffin was again placed in tbe hearse, th.e band were playing that : familiar 1 air, usually sung to the words, u Jesps, lover of my soul.” The sad, solemn luusic Forced the tears to many a stern face.
