Palmerston Defeated.
The Palmerston Ministry, on the 28th
April, were beaten in the House of Com
mons by a majority of ten ("285 to 275 J, on
their favorite measure for the abolition of
the Church-rate—a parochial impost, not
• abolished by Henry VIII., at the Reforma
tion, for making all persuasions pay for the
repairs and maintenance of Church of Eng
land places of worship. In other days, not
very remote, either, a Ministry has re
signed office, on a much smaller mino
rity. For example, in May, 1841, the
Melbourne Ministry, defeated by a hostile
majority of one, acknowledged it by going
.to the country, by a General Election, the
result of which placed Sir R. Peek, in office.
' The Palmerston Ministry have sustained
three heavy r defeats since February, and still
cling to office. They probably roly on an
anti-American feeling keeping them there.
They are accustomed to discomfiture as eels
are said-to be used to skinning.
Atlantic Telegraph.
Mr. Cyrus Field exhibited so much
ability in his recent pleading before the
Board of Trade that the Atlantic Telegraph
Company must be fully satisfied with him
as their agent. He satisfied his auditors,
what we have long believed, that it is de
-sirable and practicable to have a constant
' telegraphic communication between the Old
“World and' the Hew. To this, at present,
, only two. objections occur. First, that for
every hundred and fifty dollars now sub
scribed. to this scheme credit will .be given
‘in England, owing to the high Exchange,
. for only two-thirds of that amount; and next,
that it would be an absurd concession on the
part of the American Government and Ame
rican shareholders to allow hofli termini of
the Sub-Atlantic Cable to be on British soil.
In the event of a war, England would pre
serve constant communication with her
American possessions, but the United States
' would be cut off from all telegraphic inter
course with Europe. One terminus of the
v cable ought to be on American ground.
LETTER FROM “ OCCASIONAL ”
Washington, May 13, ,1863,
Tlie loyal men of tke country, who have
stood by General Hooker yvitli so much de
votion, find in tlic records of his last cam
paign a gratifying 'return ■for their fealty.
Kotwithstanding the calumnies and detrac
tions heaped upon him he has-'kept silent—
leaving his deeds to speak. And, now that
these deeds are known and read of all men,
his friends may feel assured that the coun
try has found a servant worthy of its cause.
In this last campaign General Hooker has
exhibited a genius which his warmest friends
have hardly dared to claim ; the power t’o
grasp every situation, as if by intuition,
and to meet the emergency on "the in
stant. The inspiration that dictated the
return to the north bank of the Rap
pahannock .was worthy of Napoleon; and
when the results of that movement are
fully known, we shall see a more striking
resemblance to the great Emperor. General
Hooker has shown that he is able to fight
.or decline a battle, as the emergency may
demand. There are those who clamor
against liim for not having thrown his army
against djee and made the battle one of
desperation, the alternative of defeat being
annihilation. To an ordinary man, to a
c soldier .who merely fought for his own
; fame, there would have been a great temp-'
station in this ; but the calm judgment of
• General Hooker resisted the temptation
> with - a degree of moral r courage that does
him immoTtal honor. The cause did not
" require desperation. That is th&game of the
■ fierce gamblers of the Confederacy, whose
wretched fortunes may be retrieved by deeds
* jure'them. He paralyzed tlie rebel arniviin
the front while Stoncman demoralized them
in the rear, ancl lie crossed tlie Rappahan
nock rebel co
—inriilYs now struggling to Richmond without
stores or transportation, -without food for
their soldiers, or medicine for 1 their sick,
compelled to beg for the most absolute arti
cles of comfort to keep the wounded from
dying; the dismay that now reigns in Yir-
ginia and throughout the whole Confedera-
cy, show how truly he has done what was
required of him to do. To use his own mo
dest and thrilling words: u We have added
new laurels to its former renown. We have
made long marches, crossed rivers, surpri
sed the enemy in liis entrenchments, and
whenever we have fought we have inflicted
.heavier blowa than wc have received.. We
have taken from the. enemy five thousand
.prisoners and fifteen colors, captured and
brought off seven pieces of artillery, and
placed hors du.combat eighteen thousand of
his chosen troops. We have destroyed his
depots Hilled with vast amounts of stores,
damaged his communications, captured pri
soners within llie fortifications of liis capi
tal, and filled his country with fear , and con
sternation.”
. r The whole history of this Army of the Po
.tomac does not furnish one-half the glory
in these brief sentences: General
-Hooker lias slipwn us what thU army can
’.do ; and by trusting him, strengthening him,
making liim feel that lie is -the advance
guard of a mighty people who are marching
in liis rear as liis reserve, we can look for
the dawning of the day of triumph. Let
the nation stand by Hooker and all will go
well. Occasional.
Miss Anna E. Dickinson.
Mr. N. P. 'Willis, of the Home Journal, gives tlie
following pleasing"description ol Miss Dickinson.
We have rarely seen a more graphic' pen-portrait
•than this of our remarkable and gifted towns"
woman:
“ MiBB-Dickinson is a symmetrical young creature,
every movement- showing a, well-knit agility of
Jrame,andher build anil action altogether being
just- what would be picked, out for a daring horse
-woman.. The Napqleonic mould of her jaw ex
presses the energy which is her leading character
istic; Her features are otherwise well chiselled,
ther forehead and upper lip of the Greek proportion,
.and her nostrils.thin. The men,would all call her
beautiful, , the women would-admit it with their
usual' reluctance, but we thought (ourself), that she
was a beauty, but for the look, a little too deter
mined, Of* that , strongly-moulded jaw, though this
would better hold the throat-latch to a helmet, and
."make,her..look more like a Semiramis in the held.
She .wore her hair with the adolescent cut of a
young Hephmstion, had long sleeves and a high
necked dress, and, with the contralto fullness of her
-voice, seemed, in fact, more ready for masculine ser
,vice than for the ‘complying tenderness’ of her sex.
But how, under the delicacy of a girl of eighteen,
could he gathered the strong wisdom which she
poured forth so volubly that night, was to us a won
der ! As she walked up and down before the thou
sands in that crowded hall, she discussed topics so
grave, that they required rather the scope and grasp
of a Senator’s mind, or a historian’s, and presented
them to the enthusiastic crowd with’a fluency that
was wholly without hindrance. How, to such youtt*
ful lips, flowed so easily such stately language I
How, over every gesture, and every look, every turn
of argument, and every cadence of voice, reigned
such absolute sell-possession! How, amid the grace
fulnesß of that virgin beauty, could accumulate the
Sr«n£?rLl° * lß gg*rd as Bhe denounced
e ra dorß as she did Beauregard
'and Davis! Effortless and modest as it all was. it
was too uncommon to seem natural. Ifc was a wo.
in the exercise of an inspired girt.
AJady fnend who met Miss Dickinson at a nartv
at the house of Mr. Charles Gould, tells us that the
eloquent damßel there held a long and earnest con
versation with Mr. Fremont, and that her manner
in society is so tranquil and thoughtful as to inspire
great respect. Her expression is absorbent and de
ferential, and she is . much admired by the eminent
men with whom she chanceß to converse. Mr. Fre
mont says that she reminds him very strongly of
■Bachel, the French woman of genius, and that her
: tones particularly are wonderfully like the great
s * Whfit is to be the destiny of such a
V S w h ? 8 a PPeared. how, forty-three times
in public, and iB to go on with what she knew, from
childhood (she Bays), was to be her “ mission ” The
.advent of a -“Joan ok Arc’’ is prophesied, as we all
OW, -nP^ lBll *?„ bc for this time crisis, and is
woman "
• With the expectation that we have yet much to
write of the doings oi this fair prophetess, we admi
ringly take our leave for the present,
Major V. F. Jones.
It will be recollected tbfft Maj. Delancey Floyd
Jones, of the llth Regular Infantry, waß arraigned
before a court martial several mouths ago, on the
charge of misbehavior in the face-/of the enemy,
which allegation was not substantiated.
It will be gratifying to his numerous friends to
learn that, in the recent fight of the Army of the
Potomac at Fredericksburg, while the conduct of
thA 2d Brigade of regulars was Buch as £o elicit the
praise.of all their companions ill arms,; Colonel
Buruakk, the commander of the'brigade; thus

Headquarters, Army of the
Potomac, May G, 1863.
Tbe following order has been issued :
General Order No. 49.—The Major
General Commanding tenders to this army
his congratulations on the achievements of
the last seven days. If it lias not accom
plished all that was expected, the reasons
are well known to the army. It is suffi
cient to say that they were of a character
not to be foreseen or prevented by human
sagacity or resource.
In withdrawing from the south bank of
the Rappahannock before delivering a gone
lal battle to our adversaries, the army has
given renewed evidence of its confidence in
itself and its fidelity to the principles it re
presents. In fighting at a disadvantage,
we would have been recreant to our trust,
to ourselves, our cause, and our country.
Profoundly loyal, and conscious of its
strength, the Army of the Potomac will
give or decline battle whenever its interest
or honor may demand. It will also he the
guardian of its own history and its own
arm. By our celerity and secresy of move
ment, our advance’ and passage of the river
was undisputed, and on our withdrawal not
a rebel ventured to follow. The events of
the last week may swell with pride the
hearts of, every officer and soldier of this
army. We have added new lustre to its
former renown. We have made long
marches, crossed livers;’ surprised the
enemy in his entrenchments,'and when
ever we have fought, have inflicted heavier
blows than we have received. "We him
taken from the enernjr five thousand prison
ers, fifteen colors, captured and brought off
seven pieces of artillery, placed hors, du
combat eighteen thousand of bis chosen
troops, destroyed bis depots filled with vast/
amounts of stores, deranged his communi-’
cations, captured prisoners within the forti
fications of bis/ capital, and filled his coun
try with fear and consternation.. We have
no other regret than that caused by the loss
of our brave companions, and in this we are
consoled by the conviction that they have
fallen in the holiest cause ever submitted to
the arbitrament of battle.
By command of Major General Hooker.

Recrossing ol' tlie Rappahannock Contra-
dicted.
Washington, May 12.—Several gentlemen
cently arrived here, and proceeded to theßappa
hannockdo recover the bodies of their friends who
Jell in the recent battles. . One of them, in a private
note received in Washington to-day, says a commu
nication has been transmitted to General Lee for
permission to pass inside of his lines for that pur
pose. Although, on Sunday night, no response had
been received from Lee, it waß understood from the
officers receiving the communication at the river,
that there would be no unnecessary obstacles thrown
in their way. Subsequently, the enemy commenced
sending over the river, under a flag of truce, con
siderable numbers of our wounded, who have been
paroled. For several days past supplies and medi
cines have been sent over from our side.
A report was current yesterday that the enemy
had left their formidable position along the heights,
but a close observation last evening disclosed the'
fact that their .numbers had not been diminished.
They were still at that point yesterday morning.
At the time of our recrossihg the river at tJnited
States ford, it is believed that only two divisions
of the enemy’s forces remained on our front, near
Chancellorville, as a rear guard. The divisions
mentioned were commanded by Generals Anderson
and McLaws.
Dr. Webster still remained in the enemy’s lines,
in care of the wounded. Dr.- Sukely, medical di
-rector llth Corps, who was captured at Chanoellor
ville, sends back word that our wounded, generally,
- are doing well..
Notwithstanding all the reports ‘that our troops
have again ciossed the Rappahannock, it was not
the case up to Sunday noon.
GENERAL LEE’S FLAG OF TRUCE.
• The facts connected with the flag of truce sent
over by-General Lee, on Wednesday morning, are,
, as Btated byAimself, that, he had exhausted his me
dicines, surgical appliances, and hospital stores fgg.
the wounded, and askiqecfoh
- -The truth of the report is now satisfactorily ascer
tained that some of our wounded, who were lying
in the woods around Chancellorville, were burned to
death. The woods were hied by our own and. the
enemy’s shells, and the flames spread rapidly until
the rains fell.
Brigadier General Hays, of the Eeserve Artillery,
who was wounded in both legs, was captured by the
enemy.
There was a prevailing impression at Falmouth
on Friday that the enemy had withdrawn from our
front at the time our forcesleft their entrenchments
in the rear of Chancellorville. One of our corpe
•commanders had occasion on Monday to send a
message, under a flag of truce, to the rebel com
mander; but, after-a fruitless effort, he reported that,
although he fell in with scattering bodies of rebels—
pickets and skirmishers—no one could tell him
who was in command, or where there were any
officers. • ‘
There is no doubt that Gen. Stoneman has arrived
safely this side of the Eappahannock.
GENERALS HALLEOIC AND HOOKER.
The Evening Posth&s special advices from Wash
ington that General Halleck is about to take the
field in person; not, it is understood, with the pur
pose of: jelieying General Hooker from his com
mand,but that he maybe in the very presence of
eventß as they occur, and the better able to influ
ence their general direction. The authority upon
which we have this information is usually welL in
formed.
. It is a significant fact, and one that will increase
the confidence of the country in General Hooker,
that he did not execute his late retrogade movement
until he had planned his present one, and had become
.satisfied of its superiority to any effort he could
make in the field of Chancellorville—contracted as
it had been by the unfortunate defection, of the
Eleventh corps at the commencement of the struggle.
The best information that can be obtained here
leads to the belief that the announcement©!: General
Hooker’s new movement acrosß the Eappahannock
was premature. ’
. An order for therecrossing of the river was issued
.last week, but it has not yet been executed. Gen.
Hooker’s personal arrangements, however, indicate
that he expects,to be employee in some new enter
prise at once.

Speke and Grant’s Expedition.
Mr. William H. Goodhue, the vice consul of the
United . States at Zanzibar, reports that Messrs.
Speke and Grant’s expedition, in search of the
sources of the Nile, has been almost if hot entirely
crowned with success.
The two mentioned English gentlemen leit Zanzi
bar September 25, 1860, on the expedition, were last
heard from March, 1862, when Captain Speke had
discovered the Miverargo river, which he writeß to
her Britannic Majesty’s consul to be the first certain
branch of the Nile. It i*s four hundred yards wide,
with a gentle flow to the north. It takes its rise in
12' N. lat., in-the Victoria Myanza, a lake dis
covered by Captain Speke. y
The expedition could not move forward (March,
1862,) through the kingdom of Uganda, (through
which said river flows,') owing to the unwillingness
of the natives.
Captain Guant was heard from April 11,1862,
and was then behind Speke, making explorations
and scientific observations in the 3£avaswe king
dom, which is about 1° 30'S. lat, .
The Negro Regiment.
Public notice is given to the officers and men of
the proposed regiment of the District of Columbia
colored volunteers, to assemble to-morrow, for the

with Colonels Tanner and Raymond, and other
friends of the movement, visited the,President to
day, to present the rolls and tender the services of
eight hundred colored inen already enlisted, and to
ask for quarters, , etc. .They were gladly received,
and the President at once referred them to the
Secretary of War with a'request that he do the very
best. for them he could. Secretary Stanton has
given orders that when six hundred and forty men,
who will pass inspection, are presented they will be
mu&tcred in at once, and assigned to quarters.
Revenue Decisions.
The Secretary of the Treasury has made the fol
lowing decision of questions arising upon appeals by
importers from the decisions of collectors, relating
to the proper classification under the tariff act of
July 14, 1862. The article called half gold is not
specially provided for by name in any of the exist
ing tariffs. It is a combination of gold and silver
leaf, and is. used for similar purposes and as a
substitute for gold leaf, and therefore is liable
under the twentieth section of the act of August 30,
18-12, *to the same duty as gold leaf, that being the
enumerated article it most nearly resembles in mate
rial, quality, and texture, or the use to which it may
be applied. Certain slipper patterns, being of size'
and shape,, and of a texture, and color precisely
adapted for slippers, and can be used for no
other purpose advantageously, should be ad
mitted at ten per centum, as claimed by the
importers, . In a case of goods ordered previ
ously to the act of July last taking effect, the
appellant allege that the duty waß erro
neously or illegally exacted, but simply complained
of the want , of equity and oppressiveness of that
law. As the Department has no authority to ques
tion the policy of any act of Congresß, the appeal
was dismissed, and, in another case the Secretary
decided, that as by that act all goods on shipboard,
on the lßt day of August, 1862, shall be subject to
the duties therein prescribed, there is no exemp
tion of goods ordered, purchased, or shipped prior
to its passage.

‘ * RECRUITING BRITISH SUBJECTS FOR THE FEDE
RAL ARMY. ”.
Between Mr. Adams and Earl Russell, an interesting
correspondence has occurred, concerning the report that
Irish subjects were bemgenlisted for the American army
nuder character of railroad operatives,
v. The first letter, dated November 20,1862, is from Earl
Russell, and informs Mr. Adams “that.her Majesty’s
Government are informed, by persons to whom .they
are (uspoEed to give credit,;.tliat recruits are being raised
in this country for serving in the army of the United
Stateß, ana that ,bounty money of a considerable amount
g offered by. agents or the United States to encourage
British subjects to, enlist,” and that the practice, to
which his attention is thus called, is calculated seriously"
to increase the difiivultietialready incident to the ob-'
fiervanco of neutrality by her Majesty’s Government.
On the following day Mr. Adams replies, stating that
he not only has no knowledge of any such proceedings,
but he has no belief that they can have been attempted
by any person really vested with authority as agents of
the United States.. Should it turn out that these are iu
diviuuals asEiimiiigto act under such an authority, he
will be obliged to Earl Russell for such information as he
may possess that may enable him to ascertain who these
persons may be, and to take the necessary measures to
disavow their operations. ”
On. the 16th ot December Earl Russell writes to Mr.
Adams, stating that be lias the satisfaction of informing
him tbat “further inquiries, which havo been institu-'
ted respecting the alleged recruiting in London for the
United States army, seem to establish that fcho reports to'
that effect, which had reached her Maiesty’s Govern*
meut, were without foundation.”
On the IGtb of April Earl Russell writes to Mr. Adams:-
Sin: With reference to your letter of the 10th instant, ■
in which you repeated the denial you had formerlv
made of the truth of the report that men were beingre*-’
cruited in this country for the. United States army,T
think itrightto communicate to you the substance of a
report which has just been made to her Majesty’s Go
vernment.witk regard to the number of persons wh&are
now being shipped as emigrants from Queenstown to
New York. It is stated that within the last fortnight
1,278 emigrants have sailed, the greater number being
strong, active young men; that it cannot be doubled that
they - are intended for the United States army, and
that, in fact, many.of them do not deny it. A certain
number of these men were militiamen from Cork and its
vicinity, and they informed the emigration'oflicer that
they would get from 260 to 300 dollars bounty. It also
appears that the prospect of this-large bounty lias been
held out to young men by general rumor throughout
the co untry. It is further stated that the friends of these
persons in America are paid so much lor obtaining and
bringing them over to New York. Ido not think it ncces--
sary to encumber this letter with further statements of a
more or less trustworthy character which have reached
her Majesty’s Government, corroborative of this asserted
recruiting of ; her Majesty’s, subjects for service in
the United States army ; and I shall .therefore merely
add that I am informed that about eight hundred young'
men were booked to sail from Queenstown by the steam.-:
er of the oth instant, it being freely spoken or that all the
young men were going tojoiu the Northern array, aud
that although the Inman Company have put on addition
al steamers, the. number otapplicanis for passage is so
groat that they cannot air be accommodated, and that'
several hundreds are consequently left behind each'
week. I am, &c., . RUSSELL.”
Two days after, Mr. Adams replies:
* * Legation" of the United States,
■ • London*, April 13,1563.
My Lord; l am very much obliged to you for the
Gourtesy extended to me in the communication] of the
substance of areport which has been made to her Majes
ty ’s Government, with regard to the number of persons:
who are now being shipped as emigrants from Queens-:
town. The fact’that a great many people, especially
:inJreland, have been anxious for Borne time past to find
their way to the United States has been made known
to me by the frequent applications to this legation
for free passage., A large proportion of these contain
offers to enlist in the service of the Government. JBo
doubt they are more or less influenced by the high boun
ties offered in America, accounts of which'have been
from time to time published in the newspapers here. To
all such solicitations the answer given from, here has
been uniformly to the effect that no authority has been
given by the Government to listen to any proposals of
the kind, or to make any engagements whatever. In
structions have likewise been sent to the respective l
consuls, who have reported similar proposals to
me, to make the same answer. I have no reason s
to believe that any American citizen in England,
clothed with authority, has ventured to act in
any other way. It is proper for me to add, iu explana
tion of the emigration that is taking place, that a gen- .
tleman of inliuenco in America, now in Londou, who is
in a situation to know, has lately informed'.me that
some of the great corporations for the extension of rail
ways in the western part of the United States, having
experienced inconvenience from the liability of the la
borers in their employ to be drafted for the war, and ap
prehending more, are making efforts to procure large
supplies from other countries of aliens, who are from that
circumstance exempted from the risk ofbeing called into
service. It may be that those who desire to get across
the ocean for the purpose of enlisting expest to take ad
. vantage of the opportunity thus placed before them. In
addition to this there is no doubt of the fact of a scarcity
oflaborers in the United States.' I learn from private
sources that the rate of wages this season is very much
advanced. lam led to believe that these eauses, in ad
dition to the alleged distress of the population of Ireland,
may. explain the phenomena or emigration to which
your lordship has been pleased to draw my attention.
“Ipray, &c., CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS.”
THE MAILS OF THE PETERHOFF.
-In tlieHousoof Lords, on the 27th ultimor Earl Russell
said that, in accordance with his promise of Friday, he
* had consulted th* lajv officers of the Crown in relation
to the seizure of the mail-bags on board British ves
sels by American cruiser*, hilt it was not desirable ‘
at the time to state what that opinion was.- He was,
- however; able to give explanStions which, he trusted,
would so far be tatisfactoiT- He refe;r*d to che papers
which had already been laid before Parliament, and
; showed that the result of Lord Lyons’remonstrance in
. the easeof.tbe Ariel was,, that omhe3lst of October Mr.
Seward wiote to Mr. Welles. the Secretary
.of the Navy, that it was not expedient that naval offi
cers in charge of the blockade should open the bags of
a friendly Power dulvautheuticated by an official seal,
or search tlienybut that they should fee forwarded with
.all convenient despatch to theix destination - >• ;
“No question has. arisen in consequence of these in
structions until very recently, and it was only that
; morning that he had received an official Account. ' From
that it appeared that on the 4th of April Mr.- Archibald,
her Majesty’s constil at New York, received the mails .
captured on board the Peterhof, under the seal of the ■
Postmaster General as directed in due form. Mr. Archi--
hold protested against the seals being broken or the bag
disturbed, and required that it should be forwarded
its destination. The Federal ..authorities insisted
. fhat~the bag should bo-opened, and it
accordingly, and found to contain several packages t,aU
directed to-Matamoros. They did not. proceed any
fni-thexx— jix.-TArggibald'reported .
to Lord Lyons, who immediately addressed a communi- ;
Genmal.shouM:.not be opened, out-forwarded to-their .
destination. ‘Mr.. St ward asked for time to considerthe
matter. ‘ :
Since that _Mr. Archibald wgs told tliaf
court had decided that the letters should be opened,- and
asked him in the first instance to open them, and forward
what were bona jide private . letters to their destkation,
giving over all others having reference to the
prize court. Mr. Avchibald refused to be a party to any ;
such proceedings, but said that if the prize-court chose
.to give orders that'the-letters should be opeaed he
would be present as a. witness, but that he did
not approve, and'would not take part in, the proceed- '
. ings. in consequence of this declaration the proceed
ings seemed to have been suspended, and the packages
bad not been opened. MrrArchlbald reported the matter
to Lord Lyons, who immediately saw Seward, and
desired that, in conforiuity-with. his letter of ; the' 31st of
October, the packages should be put again into the bags
and suffered id proceed to their destination;
had given directions that, until, further orders-from
Washington, no further stepa should be taken ; but, at
tbe time the mail left, the United States Government had
not come to any decision.
“ These were the facts of the case as it at present stood:
and sceingtho importance bf the question, and that the
opinion of the law officers of the Crown must be Carefully
weighed by tbe Government bet'oro any directions were
given, which directions must probably be given before
tlie next mail went out; and, moreover, as the next mail
which arrived might entirely alter the facts of the case,
lie must request their lordships’ indulgence, ana decline
to state the opinion of the law officers of tbe Crown,
which wouid have to be seriously-weighed by tlie Go
vernment. CClieeis.l •
“The Mnrquiß of Clanricarde said tliat the merchants
ought to-have been more fully informed of these instruct

would be taken to htve full reports of thewprocbedings

DEFENCES OF CANADA.
During a debate in the House of Commons on the fStli,
in reference to the military defences of Canada, 7 Mi*. For
tesque said the Government were of opinion that the Ca
nadian Government had shown a very inadequate sense
of their duty in reference to ibe military defence of the
colony; still, dhe exertions which had' been made
must not beunderrated. The volunteer system was being
carried on with much spirit aud:activity. At the be
ginning of the year there were ninety-five thousand
volunteers in training, and tlie number was already in
creasing, while successful attemots had been-made to
render the rural militia fit for service in case of emergen
cy. The Government could not pretend to maintain an
unlimited-number of troops at its own cost in Canada-at
a time of war, much less at. a time of peace. Conse
quently, the defence of the Canadian territory mast
mainly depend on the Canadians themselves.

The Stampa of Turin asserts that England has sent a

REPUBLIC OF MEXICO.
News by the Frcnclt Gunboat Marccau—
General Contradiction, of Intelligence Fa
vorable to Mexico— I The Fall of Pncbla Im-
minent— Gen* Foreytf'Campaign.
By the French gunboat Marceau, Captain Varin,
arrived at New York, we have news from Yera Cruz
up to the Slat of April." >'
The officers of the Marceau seem- confident that
the news of the capture of Puebla will be announced
by the next mail. Public sentiment on that subject
was such that" even-the Juarez had
given up ail hopes of a further resistance, arid con-,
sole themselves with the hope that the'inundation
of the city of Mexico will do wh&tr the walls of
Puebla reiused , to 'do* and annihilate the French
army as the Bed Sea did that of Pharaoh.- "
No repulse or reverse of any kind had been sus
tained by the. French since the arrival of G-en. Forey
in Mexico. The pompous bulletin of G-en. Ortega
announcing the repulse of the Trench from Fort San
Xavier was untrue. The .fort was first attacked
with cannon , then blown up, and no effort to storm
it was made before these operations were performed.
After the capture of Fort San Xavier, the. French
batteries-ceased their fire, and the operations of
taking the city, by storm began. This was done by
Bending a few companies ofZouaves into the streets
of Puebla, with- the : order not to fire a shot, but to
act with the bayonet alone. / This order was strictly
obeyed. "When a Zouave enters a Btreet, he gene-:
rally manages to escape the.fire of Ortega’s soldiers,
either by a leap or -by>.throwinghimself flat on.the
ground. Then he gcts'up, rushes at all speed to the
house or battlement.he wishes to. take, breaks open
the door and pursues his foe, who never waits for
the point of his bayonet. It is in this way that
two-thirds of the city of Puebla has been taken;
One of the objects of General Forey in getting hold
of the cathedral now, in his power, was to have
ground high enough to direct-a plunging fire upon
Juarez’H forces doubled upon the hills of Guadalupe
and Loretto. It was expected, however, that these
two forts would surrender in consequence of the sup
pression by the French of the two streams .which

. It is calculated.that since the beginning of the
siegeof Puebla, the- Mexicans have fired 16,000 can
non, and 1,000,000 rifle shots,.killing 41 French sol
diers only, and wounding 161.
The policy hitherto pursued by Gen. Forey, in his
operations, is not to make a glorious campaign, but
a useful onej and to carry his army intact to the
city of Mexico. The taking of Mexico,” he says,
“is not a question of-.blood, but a question of

The Late Col. Francis A. Lancaster.
To the Editor of The Press:
Sir : Among the many gallant officers who fell in
the recent battles across the Rappahannock, no one
is more sincerely lamented by his large circle of sor
rowing friends than the late Colonel Lancaster.
"While at Georgetown College, where he graduated,
in 1857, Frank Lancaster, then a light-hearted boy,
was respected and esteemed by his teachers on ac
count of his moral worth, and beloved by his com
panions, who appreciated. his kind, sincere, and
honorable disposition. As first lieutenant of. the
Commonwealth Artillery, Mr. Lancaster won
golden opinions from all the members of that com
pany during their- three months’ service at Fort
Delaware. He was afterwards commissioned major
of the 115th Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteers, and
was severely wounded in the battle at Bristow Sta
tion. The colonel Rod lieutenant colonel of the 1 loth
having : resigned, - Major Lancaster was appointed
colonel of the regiment by Governor Curtin, and
while gallantly leading his regiment ended hiß short
but honorable life, at the battle of Chancellorville,
on Sunday, May 3. In Colonel Lancaster’s death,
the Army of the Potomac has lost a gallant oflicer,
his friends a true gentleman, scholar, and Christian,
society a man of talent, learning, and unbending in
tegrity. The writer of this may live to be an old
man. If so, one of the happiest recollections of his
early youth will be hia’intimacy with Frank Lan
caster, whose glorious but sad and and untimely
end will be ever one of his Baddest. . J, H. E.

Public Entertainments.
New Chestnut-street Tbeatre.—Mrs. John Wood’s
fairy extravaganza, “The Fair Maid with the Golden.
Locks, ” drew.another crowded house last,evening, and, ’
indeed, if we may judge from the evidences of public
satisfaction manifesled by repeated plaudits, it must
have a successful run of many weeks. As a spectacular
play, it is without doubt" magnificent. The entire
scenery, costumes, and effects have been produced
especially for this season, at a heavy cost, and are both,
startling and beautiful. The final scene may bo in
stanced'aS a triumph of the painter’s art, and is worthy
all the applause which greeted.it last evening. None:
but the boldest and most pains- taking talent could have
produced such an effective tableaux upon canvas; and, :
indeed, the audience is half in doubt whether the group
be of flesh and blood, or the simulation of scenic art. As
to the musicAt is sprightly and attractive if not al together
new, and the solos ol Mrs. John Wood have a peculiar
charm. The literary merits of the production are "not
such as to deserve unqualified praise; the language
might, in most instances, be more refined without being
less pointed or witty; and whatever margin of allow
ance is presumed to be due to the extravaganza, in that
respect, over every other form of drama, has‘certainly
been tat en advantage of in this piece with avidity.
Still, “The Fair One with the Golden Locks ” possesses
many merits, and whatever objections the hypercritical
may allege against it, it is destined to command as large
a measure of success in thi3 city as has been meted to it
by the people of New York.
Walnut-street Theatre. —If Miss Laura Keene ex
pected to exterminate her reputation she would have
chosen tlie play of “ Jessie McLane;’’ ifshe expected to
establish it, -she would not. The play itself, And the
players themselves, are scarcely noticeable. Laura
Keeneis the only feature of the programme, and she, iu
this instance, is a poor one. A deservedly poor audience
greeted her appearance. This could not be laid to the ac
count of the weather, for, in thebeginningof the evening,
this was sufllcientlj- clear to insure at least au audience
of respectable size. The thinness of the auditory was
only due to the poorness of the play and the poorness of
the players. We do not remember, and we do not care
to be "reminded of the name of the dramatist of sucha
play, as this. A production without plot or passion; a
hasty conception which scarcely deserves the contempla
tion the pen bestows upon it; merits neither the cold
elucic ation of *the critic, nor the careless admiration of
the mere observer. It is from a plot, however, that cor
rect ideas of characterizations are to be deduced, The
plot in this case is absurdly weak and flimsy—the cha
racterizations are correspondingly so. The wife of a miner
is “ out of her head.” She is seduced by a smooth-faced
and 'smooth-tongued man (with straight-parted hair),
who is presupposed to live in a browu-stone house in so*
andrso street or soxuetbing-or-other avenue. Her hus
band confronts her there in the middle of her “recep
tion.” So ends the second act. Inthethird act, Jessie
McLane (Laura Keene) enters in a very neat and dressy
. looking night gown, and does the sentimental-ridicu
lous. John McLane, the deserted husband (Mr. E. L.
Tilton), is wounded. Jessie is distracted. She weeps,
and, according to the last words of the programme, “is
saved!” After ..which, “ Affecting and Impressive
Denouement !” We protest the whole affair is too
positively-wretched to merit a notice of cool and
contemplative length. Laura Keene did the best
she could. We think better .of her than to think
she should perform shell a part as this. She should
think better of herself than to perform such au one. ,An
actress of-the first-rate order of genius might perhaps
have made one or two points in the play. Miss Laura
Keene is not an actress of this sort, and'does not pretend
to be. She-did not-make one single point in the whole
play- Neiiher did any one else. In “Peg Woffington”
and ‘‘The Unequal Match,” and c other.plays'wliich
might be named, Miss Laura Keene is very charm
ing, in the,. correct sweetness of her . versatility.
luptuous, gay, weak, daring; here she is—shall it r
\be said?—little less ..than stupid. The company,
jSvlsich hfis emigrated with her, and - which is
dovetailed in-with- the: demerits of the piece, : is
even less worth mentioning than she-is. Arthur
Marsden , “the.tempter” (Mr. C. Walcot, Jr.,) made
nothing of the "part. Marker, “a Cockney servant,”
(Mr. C. Peters), gave us no reason for arguing that he
strengthened the ca6t; and the rest are beneath mention.
The scenery in the first act was supposed to represent a
roine/lilooked as though it were compe sed of vegetables
which had half made up their minds to turn into coal. ?
Both scenery and actors looked out of sorts, and mutually -
ashamed. . The doctor—who, by the-bye, looks like an
undertaker—is as truthfully represented as such charac
terizations generally are. That Miss Laura Keene is a
deserving and successful actress nobody wishes fora
moment to deny."'~Her company also has generally been
considered good.- But when such a play as. “Jessie
McLane ’.’ is presented, the principal actors, at least,
and all the accessories should be excessively attractive
it order.to insure a.success worth having.- -
The new play was''succeeded'by - the comedietta' of
“Trying It On.” Mr. Levick, as Mr. Washington
Potts, was funnyenoughtobe welfreceived, and to con
tinue entertaining throughout the play.

families. The operations of the society extend over
a period of nearly a quarter of a century, and the re
cepients of its bounty are amongst those well known
in the mercantile community but’ whose names are
carefully concealed. The following is the report:
The Relief Committee report an expenditure of
$250, divided amongst! applicants. In two instances,
an appropriation of; sso.each was made to the widows
and children of deceased members, in accordance
with authority granted by the board at a former
meeting. For the relief of one of these families—a
mother and six young children— sloo was granted,
and although but half of this sum has been used,, ic
seems impossible that the comparatively small item
of $5O, judiciously expended, csuld have been capa
ble of doing so much real good to a family so help
less. Since the board authorized this appropriation
one .. of/tbe children has,; died, and this money not
only paid-its funeral expenses, but, accompanied
with; encouraging .words and successful efforts to
obtain work for the despairing mother, has prevent
ed her and her little ones from seeking a home in
the-Poorhouse, and encouraged her to hope for a
brighter future. .-Could,our lukewarm members wit
ness theße instances of relief, they would not only
pay their annual contribution more.willingly, but
would exert themselves to increase the usefulness
of our association.
In the other instance, $5O was appropriated ex
pressly to the expenses attending the burial of the
oldest son. The committee report that the wages of
her only son have been , increased, and, having suc
cessfully obtained yvork for the mother, she has rea
son to be thankful for the bounty of the association,
and that she and her family at present in com
fortable circumstances. --
About a .year, ago, $5O was appropriated to the
relief of a member who, some years before, had been
fallen upon by a hand in the store in which he was
engaged dropping upon him through the hatchway,
reaultingin a serious injury to his spine, that money
purchased for him a supporter and truss, which have
afforded him much relief; he is, however, unable to
work, and the present item of ; $5O is given for his
immediate necessities, and, it is believed, will be
judiciously expended, as it was gratefully received.
One hundred dollars was handed to an old member,
who, because of dyspepsia arid rheumatism, had been
unable to attend to his duties. He had held the
, same situation for eighteen years, hAB a.wife and
four children, and when one of the committee called -
on him, it,was discovered that he was unaware of
the object of the visit,- and that the application had
been made by another.* Medical advice was obtained
for him, and the committee report that this member
has been elected an assessor of one of the wards, and
that his health is improved, so that he ia again at
tending to His duties.
After the l eading of the report, a number of new
members were elected. :
The eccretaiy reported the assets of the association
to he $17,620.35. . ,
Applications for membership to this society may
be made to the secretary, Wm. A. Bolin, 739 Market
street.;' , -

Ab the week iB being' made a season of

stock of Goods advertised by Messrs. Edwin Hall

; The “Dk. Hayes Refrigerator;”—As
the warm season with its wantß-is approaching, we*
would again call attention to the superior Refrige
rator manufactured and. sold, wholesale and retail,
; by Mr; John S. Clark, No, LOOS Market street, ea«
titled the “Dr. Hayes. ss It is a-first rate article, and
\ has taken- the premium at all., the ■ different fairs
where it has been exhibited, over all other Refrige
r rators. Mr. Clark has for some time past had a-very,
large manufacturing force"employed in getting them
up, in all sizes and at all prices, from $5 to s2s;:and
as he has this season determined to sell them, very
low, the community need hardly be told that this is
the place to buy. Indeed, Clark’ s establishment may
justly be considered the Refrigerator headquarters
in this city, and.we recommend our readers toexa
mine his imm&se-. stock before purchasing. ■ Mr.
Clark is a practical mechanic, and superintends, the
manufacture of’these articles personally, and the
public is certainly indebted to him for the best Refri
gerator of the age. *

Beautiful Spkixg and Summbk
—The Summer weather which has bo
dropped down upon us has created a perfect
at the popular Clothing Emporium, of IVlesi
Somers & Son, No. 625 Chestnut street,
Jayne’s Hall, for their splendid new styles of
and Summer garments. Ve have taken pa?
epect this elegant stock, and we are free to say, tt
it ie one of the very beet for a gentleman of taste
select from, that we have ever examined. The styl
in which their clothing i» cut, the character of worl
man ship, no less than the auperior quality of mat
rials employed, all conspire to make this the placed
buy fashionable clothing, at reasonable price#. Vf
AK3SUItTON ’ S CELEBRATED FELT HAT&
—These hate, made and sold exclusively by 3fr*
Warbnrton, the Hatter of Chestnut street, next door
to the Post Office, are, beyond doubt, the greatest
and moat comfortable Hat of the age. Unlike tlw
common New England-made hats, sold by hatter#
generally, which are made of no one knows what,
the Philadelphia-made article, of Mr. TVarburton,
is manufactured from the Jinest selected furs, and for
beauty and durability, surpass any other felt hat#
in the world.
Capture op Newspaper. Correspond
ents by the Rebels.—An official account of the
destruction of the barges and tugs at Vicksburg
says that a number of prisoners were captured by
the rebels, including the correspondent of the New
York Times, two correspondents of the New YorK
Tribune, and one of the'Cincinnati Times. The
latest despatches forwarded by these correspondents
contained the information that the rebels through
out that entire region were suffering more from the
want orw. W. Alter’a Coal, of thiß city, than from
any other deprivation, to which the war has sub
jected them. Alter’s coal has the peculiarity of
being freer, from matter than any
other in the city, on account of his superior mode
of sifting it; and, with all this, his prices are the
roost reasonable. Hib yard, Ninth street, above
Poplar, is one of the beshknown localities in Phila
delphia.
A "V aluarle Pujjlic Convenience.—
We need hardly inform our readers that one of the
finest and most complete stocks of Groceries in this
country is that found at the old stand of 0. H. Matt
son, Arch and Tenth streets. Their present supply
of goods, we may state, is got up with special refer
ence to the wants of families about removing to the
country for the summer who wish to supply them
selves with Groceries, and the proprietors have
done the public a real service in aff&rding the oppor
tunity of ordering goods at their store, and having
them neatly and safely packed, and delivered at any
of the railroad dcpotß free of charge.
Officers in the Army and Navy will
find an admirable stock of Swords, Sashes, Belts,
and Military Furnishing Goods generally, at Charles
Oakford & Son’s, under the Continental Hotel.
Messes. Wood & Cart, No. 735 Chest

assortment of Misses 5 and Children’s Hats, to which
we invite the attention of our lady readers.
At tub Popular Gents 1 Furnishing-
Establishment of Mr. George Grant, No. 610
Chestnut-street, our readers will find one-of the.
choicest stocks of seasonable goods in this city. We*
would invite special attention to his fresh invoice of
Courv'oisier and Angelas best make of Kid-Glove#.
They are the best and most popular glove in use. 1

“ Some Mean Thief has Stolen Presi

fact is the animal began to lose flesh, owing to the
scarcity of fodder. Melancholy had marked it for
her own by putting a spavin in its off hock, a ring*
bone round each fore fetlock, and that strange m-usic.

and warbles in the back. The creature was not al

Secesh Hard Up.—The rebels are getting
in a very bad way. All their abtebodied men h«ve
been conscripted, and the old folks and children who
remain at home have been placed upon s*ort com
mons. Confederate money is about th* on h T thing
that is plentiful eouth of the Potom&o and this is so
much depreciated that it will Bc&r&ty purchase its
weight in bread and beef. Greenbacks are not al
together a vanity on the side of the line,
but they are worth fiju/their face, as anybody can
ascertain by taking a reasonable amount of them in
his breeches, pocket and investing them in a new
and elegant Spring suit at the Brown Stone Clothing
Hall of Rockhill & Wilson, No. 603 and 605 Chestnut
street, above Sixth..
Akk We a DuTKKrNO People ?—By the
it appeals that the consumption of spiritous
liquors in the United States reaches the enormous
quantity of eighty-six "millions of gallons annually,
being .equal to six gallons for every adult person.
The reader can answer the question.for himself, re
membering, at the same time, that the cheapest and
most substantial Summer Clothing is at present
selling at the renowned Emporium-of Granville
Stokeß, Ho. 609 Chestnut street. '
One Word to the Ladies.—We supposed
that the Ultima Tkule in' the art had been reached
months ago, when we Baw, for the first time, a Grover
&. Baker nfachine in full action; but now, a lady
friend, well posted in all matters pertaining thereto,
informs us that an important part of the perform
ance escaped our notice, and, in proof thereof, ex
hibits to our astonished gaze her little boy’s frock
embroidered with tasteful and fanciful designs which,
she informs us, was all done, stitching, embroidery,
and all, on the same machine. This is certainly re
markable, but nevertheless true, and if atltke pur
chasers of these celebrated Machines are as enthusi
astic as iB our friend, the proprietors must behaving
one continual “hymn of praise” ascending in their
behalf. \ t
The Avenue House.—By reference to an
advertisement, in another column, it will be seen
that John Casey, Esq., formerly of Cumberland
county, in this State, has.leased the Avenue Kouee*
corner of Pennsylvania avenue and Seventh street,
Washington, D. C. Mr. Casey contemplates a tho
rough renovation of the establishment, and, as it
possesses the moat central and desirable location in
tHe city, we feel assured that, under his careful su
pervision, it cannot fail to be an attractive place of
resort- to strangers who may visit the Federal
capital.
