no pain insusceptible of alleviation, or disease without a remedy.Are you dyspeptic ?look for the cause in a disordered stomach or derangement of the liver.Are you costive or bound in the bowels ?here again the stomach or viscera are at fault.Holloway\u2019s Pills will eradicate the source.Try them.They have never yet failed in one single instance out of millions of cases.We urge all who are suffering from dyspepsia, costiveness, bowel complaints, &c., to use them at once, as they will effectually cure.The proof lies in the trial.Procure a box and be convinced of their immediate effect.Read the advertisement else-where.-lTO\tr DWS 113 Dyspepsia.\u2014This is a very distressing complaint and gives the patient more suffering than almost any other disease, in fact, it is a combination of many complaints in one.The symptoms are numerons, and are of the nature of almost all other complaints combined.From this fact arise the very many cases where this disease is mistaken for some other, and so imperfectly treated.The first symptoms\u2014indigestion, flatulency, loss of appetite, heartburn, headache, etc., if neglected, almost always awaken some dormant disease.and send the poor sufferer to a premature grave.What you must first do is cleanse the blood and regulate the bowels ;

Queen, respectively, in relation to the findings of a Naval Court Martial upon the captain of the late Conqueror, and of a Military Court Martial on Capt.Robertson, of the 4th Dragoons The Conqueror was lost in the Channel of the Bahamas through some blundering in the reckoning and the management ; and the Captain, in his evidence, stated that if it should be found that the master\u2019s reckoning was incorrect, he expected the Court to hold that the Captain was not to be held responsible, as he is not supposed to doubt the accuracy of the officer appointed for the specific purpose of navigation.The Court appears to have adopted the Captain\u2019s views, for they fully acquitted that officer, though they reprimanded the master.This singular result of such an inquiry is not approved by the Admiralty.They say that if the ship had been put about, according to the most simple precaution in her circumstances, one of the finest vessels in the navy would not have been lost.They wholly refuse to accept the doctrine that the Captain is not responsible for the safety cf his ship, and, to prevent future misconception, alter the articles of war, so as to make the first read\u2014\u201c The Captain is responsible for the safe conducting and steering of his ship,\u201d and the doctrine is farther enforced by a parallel change in the second article.In the case of Captain Robertson, it was charged against him, among other things growing out of the same occurrence, and chiefly representing the state of ill-feeling which existed between his brother officers and himself, \u201c that, after being grossly and publicly insulted by Colonel Dickson, in London, at the Army and Navy Club, on the 17th of October, 1860, and after not succeeding in his endeavour to obtain an apology or redress for the same, and lo have the difference adjusted between them, he failed to take the proper lawful steps to vindicate his character.\u201d\u2014Upon this charge the Captain was found guilty, and sentenced to be cashiered ; but the Queen has refused to confirm the sentence of the Court, and has directed Captain Robertson to be released from arrest.The Times has a severe article upon both of these findings, especially upon the second, which it treats as an attempt to force an officer to fight a duel, which he is expressly forbidden to do.It adds, however, that, whatever the cause, Captain Robertson had been subjected to the meanest and most systematic tyranny from the Colonel, and browbeating from his brother officers, all of whom in the ranks below him would have, by his dismissal from the service, gained a step of promotion without purchase.ltd e-4- April 28.101 CITÏ JINK.Notice is hereby given, that a dividend of THREE AND-ONE-HALF PER CENT., upon the CAPITAL STOCK

having made arrangements with a first-class English house for the Sale of their Twines, Cord, Shoe Threads, Linen Threads, &c., &c ^ -v 6\t\u2014i commercial privileges, and among these, he thought, were those of uniting for the purpose of facilitating their traffic, preventing ruinous competition, and settling or compounding with their creditors.He should hesitate to base his objection on the ground, that amalgamation would necessarily create a monopoly.It might do so ; but it did not necessarily follow that it would.The proprietary was always changing, and it was not likely that the management which had been found so ruinous would be continued.He dissented from the first resolution ; hut could have no objection to the rest, though he confessed his sympathies were not so much excited for the large holders of stock and bonds in England as they were for our own people\u2014contractors and others \u2014many of whom had claims on the road for comparatively smalt sums, and who, if this bill were passed, when they applied for payment might be told, wait till we have established the net earnings of the road, which is your debtor.He based his opposition to the bill on the ground of commercial honour and honesty.The amalgamation might be considered an evil ; but if the question were between amalgamation and the stoppage of the road, he thought most persons would ask for amalgamation and try to stop the monopoly afterwards.The stoppage might be thought by some as likely to do good ; but the first sensation would be a terrible shock.Hon.JNO.YOUNG believed that there never was £4,000,000 better spent in Canada than the £4,000,000 invested in the Grand Trunk.Every commodity had been increased in price.He thought people would regard it as a great misfortune if the road were stopped.He did his best in Parliament to have the road well built, better managed, and so as to produce better results, but his advice had not been taken.Now, however, the road had to be run.It had to be carried on in some way or other.Large works had yet to be done, before the public could reap the full advantage of the past outlay, and how were they to obtain money, unless by the amalgamation of the Companies ?The public would lose the benefit of ihe money invested by letting matters remain in their present condition.Air.H.LYAIAN confessed that he did not apprehend that the road could be stopped, or that, if stopped, it could be stopped long.It must be carried on.What possible good could result from a stoppage of the road, and therefore why should the bondholders stop it?Mr.Young had admitted that the road was in a very bad condition, and had they any guarantee that the arrangements would be any better the future\tthan they\thad\tbeen the past ?And with regard to the monopoly, of course the rates would go up, and how would the public obtain redress, if the united companies con irolled the whole line from Sarnia to Halifax ?He saw no provision in the Bill for the preservation of the, rights of the creditors.He did not see that their rights were maintained in any respect, And with regard to political influence, he believed that there was much to be apprehended on that score also.He could state instances in which, at the last election, the influence of the Grand Trunk Company was brought to bear upon elections.Mr.RYAN hoped it was not to be supposed that any Grand Trunk influence had entered into their debate.Air, LYMAN observed that he had been assured the Bondholders knew nothing about the proposed measure.Air.RYAN here moved in amendment to Air.Lyman\u2019s resolution, that the words \u201c would create a huge monopoly highly dangerous to the tradr and prosperity of the people of Canada,\" be struck out.Air.MULHOLLAND suggested to divide the motion into two distinct resolutions.Air.RYAN proposed that AH.Brown should withdraw the last words of his motion.Mr.BROWN could not consent to do so.They were words of truth and honesty, and should be adopted by the Board.Hon.JNO.YOUNG did not think there was any danger of the Company raising their rates too high, since this was always found to have the effect of diminishing the amount of business, ani would prove injurious to themselves ; and, further, the public had the protection of the river\u2014 the Company would never go beyond the rates by river.The vote wits then taken on.Mr.Ryan\u2019s amendment, which was lost, a large majority voting against it, and only 13 members voting for it.The original motion of Mr.Brown, altered by Mr L-Cman, was then carried (six dissentients) as follows : Moved by Mr.H.Lyman, seconded by Air.Wm.Workman : That the bill now before Parliament, entitled \u201c An act to amend the acts authorizing the Union \u201c of certain Railway Companies, as respects the \u201cGrand Trunk Railway, the Great Western 11 Railway, the Buffalo and Lake Huron Railway,\u201d would create a huge monopoly highly dangerous to the trade and prosperity of the people of Canada.That the mode proposed to establish the amount or ratio of compensation for Postal service is extremely objectionable.And inasmuch as in said bill it is proposed to confiscate the property of various classes of creditors of the several Companies under certain conditions, which, if carried in\u2019o effect, would inflict serious injury upon innocent persons, and would damage the reputation of the Province generally\u2014therefore this Board protests against the passing of the proposed bill, or any other act conferring greater privileges or immunities to the above named railway companies, or any powers interfering with the rights and property of the bondholders and other creditors.That the Council prepare petitions in accordance with the above, for transmission to the branches of the Provincial Parliament.Mr.H.LYAIAN then moved that the Council be instructed to send petitions in the name of the Board,founded upon this resolution,jto the three branches of the Legislature.Carried.The three following Resolutions of Air.Brown were then carried unanimously.Aloved by Air.T.S.BROWN, seconded by Air.DARLING :\u2014 Resolved, 1.That the Grand Trunk Railroad of Canada was from the beginning a common commercial undertaking, subject to all the incidents common to all speculative enterprises, which were well known and perfectly understood, from previous experience, by European capitalists, to whom the nature of a prospectus was familiar, and known to be liable to too many contingencies to be the basis for fixed interest upon investment.Resolved, 2.That any pretended responsibility charged upon the Province, or the people thereof, for the statements or arguments set torth in the original prospectus of the Grand Trunk Company, by reason of names high in office in Canada being connected therewith, has been amply paid by the relinquishment of the first lien of about $15,000,000 upon the road, which is actually that amount abstracted from the pockets of the people of Canada and presented to the stockholders, who have no public claim for tlie reckless waste, extravagance, and maladministration of their own appointed agents and officers who have brought the.Company into its present difficulties.3.Resolved\u2014That ti^e great concern of the people of Canada is in the effioient working of the railroads to whioh they have granted money or privileges, by parties competent for the trust, and not in the private management of companies or corporations who have enriched or itq-, poverished themselves by their own management, and that the Grand Trunk Company having no separate claim upon the Government of Canada or consideration that might not be urged by any other Company whose speculative enjer,.prise has not equalled the expectations ofits pro-, jectors, should be left to the\u2019ordinary operations of law to make arrangements With its creditors in like manner as we have seen with other railroads in America, and o.ther places ufh,ero those arrangements b,ayè b,een tqa4e without stoppage of the rondo to passengers or hindrance to traffic.The PRESIDENT said they would now proceed with the consideration of the second order of the day\u2014the Bankruptcy bill.Air.D.R.WOOD said he had drafted three short Resolutions which ho thought would meet with the approbation of the Board.Air.BROWN understood that the Bill would be thrown out by the Legislative Council.Ffe Relieved that ministers wpnXà Re'quite as! ^e\u2019u well pleased if it were kicked ou.tj as it would give thèmàn opportunity to'Inlng in another op some future occasion.Mr.'^îfftRSW AîROpAï^L ANij seconded Air.Wood\u2019s\u2019first Resolution which read as follows : \u201cThat in tRe opinion of this Hoard without herein passing, any judgment upon the practicability of the Bankruptcy Bill of the Hon.Air.Smith, now before the Board for consideration, it is unjust and unwise to enact any law of this

CQMMEROF.Current Topics\u2014Finance and Trade.EERALD OFFICE, ?Montreal, Alay 15, 1862.S There has been an active business done in Groceries and also in Hardware.That in Dry Goods has fallen off, as to be expected.In Produce, our chief business at this time of the year, we have to report dullness ; as regards freights the same prices were obtained, though to fill up vessels lower rates have be n accepted.We shall give our usual summary of the different branches of trade.We give the arrivals during the week : \u2014 From Liverpool, 5 vessels, gen cargo.The next item\u2014the House in Committee Ways and Means\u2014was next read.Hon.Air.GALT\u2014Stand.The papers are not prepared, and it is impossible to proceed.Hon.Air.FOLEY again charged the Government with wasting the time of the House.Two months of ihe session had already passed, nothing had been done, and yet the Government were not prepared to go on.Hon.Air.GALT replied that the charge might be made with more justice against gentlemen on the other side.The Opposition had occupied a great deal of time in what he considered an abstract question.With regard to the Committee on supply there had not been a meeting of the House in which progress could have been made that he had passed over.This was the first oppo -tunity that he had of proceeding ; but it was his belief that the militia bill would have come up, and if it had it would have occupied the House the whole day.But that subject was postponed in consequence of the absence of the Attorney General AVest, and he (Mr.Galt) was not prepared to go ou with his budget in consequence of necessary papers not being ready.No earlier opportunity had presented itself for him (Air.Galt) to proceed.Hon.Mr.FOLEY could not agree that the Opposition were responsible for the delay.The Cabinet was not filled up at the beginning of the session, and they had three or four days of a crisis before anything could be done or said ; consequently a week\u2019s time was spent, and very badly spent, in the endeavor to induce first one and then another gentleman to become members oj the Cabinet.Finally, they settled upon one gentlemen who had since graced the House as President of tlie Council, and on another who had been defeated by a majority of 795.The Opposition had occupied very little time.The greater of the time at the commencement of the session was occupied by hon.gentlemen on the other side of the House.Indeed, it would appear from the number of speeches they made that they had received instructions to occupy as possible.Again, on what ground was the \u201c long vacation\u201d assented to ?He admitted he had consented to it ; but the ground was that gentlemen on the treasury benches wanted time.(Oh, oh.) Hon.Air.CAaCHON\u2014You wanted time to settle your differences.Hon.Mr.FOLEY said the hon.gentlemen opposite wanted time to complete their measures ; but before the House rose they promised that the Militia Bill would be sent to the members, and that other necessary information would be furnished\u2014apromise which was not carried out.Be-fore sitting down he would ask what papers were required ?Hon.Air.GALT\u2014The estimates, of course.It was impossible to proceed with the Committee of Supply without the estimates ; and the ways and means could not be proceeded with before the House had passed the first item of Supply.He had made it a ground of complaint that, with one exception, the Government had no important measure before the House.Now, the fact that the amendment to the address censured the Government for not taking action upon one particular subject, showed that there was nothing else worthy of coneideration.Hon.Mr.FOLEY\u2014Had it required two months to take the first step towards bringing down the Estimates ?On the paper there were twenty-two paltry, insignificant measures from tlie Government.The House had gone through the greater portion of them quickly, because they were mere formalities ; [and now they would have to spend the day in discussing private bills not in charge of the Government.Hon.Mr.GALT\u2014He proposed that the militia bill was sent from Quebec to the residence of members at least four days before the re-assemh-ling of Parliament, and the public accounts were laid before the House the first day after the recess.Then, as to the committee, no t a single day had been lost Hon.Mr.SICOTTE said if there was little done during the two months the House had been in session, it was entirely the fault of the Government.It shewed clearly that the Government had not sufficient control of the House to enable them to carry on public business.Before the recess the hon.Ji'inanoe Alinister had promised to send copies of the Public Accounts.Hon.Mr.GALT said he had not made any such promise.Mr.AIACDOUGALL said he was under that impression.Hon.Air.GALT repeated his former assertion.Hon.Air.SICOTTE said he had so understood It was hard that public business should he delayed in this manner.Last Friday the Government had done nothing, being completely occupied with tfle, Casridy business.Hon.Air.CARTIER thought the filling up of the vacan,t offices had been very satis nctorily performed, so, far as the Government was concerned.Hjon.Air.FOLEY\u2014How did you get your colleagues returned.(Hear, hear.) Hon.Mr.CARTIER - Very satisfactorily, indeed.One was returned by acclamation ; another was successful ; the third was defeated, owing to the false statements made to the electors.The Opposition, nevertheless, could not i steady, act.There was the celebrated Comité de stir- 1 vaillance.Hon.Air.FOLEY had denied this s,tnjem,ent when made by a colleague, of tfie hon.gentleman.l^qn.Afr.CARTIEK\u2014It had been stated by the, orgaq of the party.1 ion.gentlemen opposite had mp,die ail; sorts, of motions of want o( confidence ; hat they had been invariably defeated.Air.AIACDOUGALL\u2014You came pretty close to it last night.(Hear, hear.) Hon.Mr.CARTIER contended that the matter did not affect the Government.It did not affect him (Mr.Cartier) at all.It had been said that the only measure of importance was the Militia Bill.This was a matter of congrraula- : tion, inasmuch as it was the best xpsagfeje proof of the fact that they hbd settlied all (he great questions which agitated, the Proyinçe.Hop.Air.LORANGER\u2014The conduct of the Government on this important measure was vacillating in the extrem,e.Thy.Attorney-General Miest had; spoken qq the bill, so had the Finance Miniqteç, gfid the hon.members for Aiontreal Cqntré and Alootoalra ; but hon.members had not yet enjoyed the benefit of an explanation from the Premier.The Opposition were de3\\rquii that the Government should lay befqtq (he house some well defined plan, 1 Sunderland, 3 \u201c 1 London, 1 Greenock, 1 Glasgow, 1 Gloucester 1 Maryport, 2 Newry, 1 Shanghae, 1 salt.coals.gen.gen.coals.gen.salt and coal.coals.ballast.tea.Tons.4940 .766 .1018 .440 .522 .3J5 , 825 , 432 , 683 602 , 387 Tons.Departutes amount to 11 ves:els.,11980 Toni.For Glasgow, 4 vessels, with full cargoes.4314 For L Ports, 6 \u201c\t\u201c\t\u201c\t.460 For Liverpool, 1 \u201c\t\u201c\t\u201c\t.1487 6261 Amongst the arrivals are two steamers from Liverpool ;

It showed that the Ministry had nothing more to be wished for.(Cheers).Air.AIcQU^ would like to enquire whether it tyas the Militia Bil! or the Finance Minister's; stittCments that the Government intended to discuss on Friday.He felt the mare anxious, as it had been confidently stated by persons who had opportunities of knowing, that the bill would not be pressed in its present shape.There was another statement made to which he (Air.Ato-i Gee) would allude, particularly its the Attorney General East had taken pains to allude to the private affairs of the Opposition.It was said that hon.members opposite, in view of the conduct pursued by the members of the Government with regard to this measure, had themselves drawn up a bill which they intended to present as a sort of ultimatum.Having taken considerable interest in this matter, and being ready to do everything to further legislation on the subject, he now hoped to receive some information.Hon.Mr.CARTIER, in reply, stated that the Government would be ready to proceed with the Militia Bill on Friday, taking up the Finance Minister\u2019s business afterwards.QUEBEC HARBOR TONNAGE DUTIES.On motion of the Hon, Mr.ALLEYN, the House went into Committee on the resolutions respecting tonnage duties at the harbor of Quebec.The hon.gentleman introduced the first resolution authorizing \u201c the laying of a tax of five cents per ton on all vessels from beyond the sea coming into Quebec.\" Air.DAWSON would not take up the time of the House by discussing the resolutions.He was not opposed, in toto, to the measure.On the contrary, he saw several things in it that deserved support.But he was opposed to anything which would operate as a burthen upon the lumber trade.Hon.Air.SICOTTE was willing to admit the necessity of any measure calculated to improve the harbour of Quebec.He trusted, however, that vessels going in ballast to Montreal, and obliged to discharge any portion of their ballast in Quebec, would not be taxed to the same extent as vessels discharging their cargoes here.Mr.LANGEVIN said it was not intended to tax vessels bound for Aiontreal.It was only fair, however, that vessels using the harbour for the purpose of discharging ballast should pay something.Mr.BUCHANAN said we could never have a good trade until we had larger vessels, and large vessels could never go to Montreal.It was a matter of great importance that the Quebec harbour should be improved.Air.McGEE said there were three interests.First, the interest of the navigable part of the St.Lawrence above Quebec; next, the lumber trade; and thirdly, of the whole Province.The harbor of Quebec was of unquestionable importance to the whole country.At the same time there should be no jealousy of Aiontreal, for there was room enough for both.He doubted not that the committee would take care that none of the interests he had pointed out would be injured.The resolution was then agreed to.Hon.Mr.aLLEYN moved another resolution, | to the effect that the Quebec Harbour Commis- 1 sioners be authorized to impo=v, - r-., - exceediig $100 for any infringement of their bylaws.\u2014Carried.Provincial Parliament.(Abridged from the Quebet Chronicle.') LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL.Tuesday, 13th May, 1862.The Council this afternoon was engaged in discussing the Hon.P.Moores motion, for a committee of inquiry, which elicited nothing beyond which had been said in the other House on the same subject.LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY.Tuesday, May 13th, 1862.Hon.Mr.FOLEY said he had a question to ask before the orders of the day were called.The hon.gentleman who had accepted the position vacated by Mr.Morrison, had been defeated by a large majority.(Hear, hear.) The people naturally felt something anxious to know what course the Government intended to pursue under these circumstances.He therefore begged to ask the hon.Premier whether Mr.Patton had resigned, or whether he was to retain office ?Hon.Mr.CARTIER, remarked the hon.Attorney General West, was not in his place.Under these circumstances, he (Mr.Cartier) must decline to answer the question.opposition fault-Finding.The next item on the order of the day was the second reading of the Militia Bill, on being read\u2014 Hon.Mr.CARTIER said that in consequence of the absence of the Attorney General West, who was unwell, he would allow the Bill to stand over.Hon.Mr.FOLEY charged the Government with delaying the business of the House.They had only one measure of importance before the legislature\u2014all the rest were paltry, unimportant bills; and yet now when that measure should be proceeded with, they came down to the House, and on the excuse that the Attorney General was sick, or some other equally paltry, flimsy or contemptible evasion, asked for further delay.(Oh, oh.) Hon.Mr.CARTIER said that the Government were not responsible for the delay.No greater compliment could have been paid them than to j sl:onerg'be\"authorizê'd toïmpose a penalty of not of importance.(Hear,\tfnr\tinfringement of their by- left htre has been more active, and prices advanced during the week week to Sic for Mess Pork.We have noticed lately several large shipments by our steameri fcf boxes cut meats.We find that this has grown to be a very important feature in the Pork trade West.Instead o5\u2018 barrelling Pork it is cut up into sacrés, shoulders and hams, exactly the same as the Cumberland bacon, it is then placed for same ten or fourteen days between alternate layers of salt, and after that packed in boxes weighing about 000 lbs.each of pork.The quantity of salt absorbed is sufficient to keep It fresh during its passage from Chicago or Cincinnati to Liverpool, and there it commands the same price as English bacon, the difference being imperceptible, especially when cured in Liverpool to suit the home market.To show the importance of the trade we give some figures received from a leading merchant in Cincinnati.Total shipments from Western States, direct to Liverpool, 380,000 boxes cut meat for year 1861 and 1852.As each box weighs net QQ0 lbs., the vast quantity can easily be estimated.Formerly this trade used to flow through New Orleans.Tins year it has been diverted northwards, and to a large extent over the Grand Trunk Railroad, but we have not had shipping connection sufficient for what would otherwise have been given us, consequently a large amount has gone via Boston and New York.During the spring Aiontreal will be the favorite shipping port, as the weather continues cool so much longer here, and that is a great advantage.We wish to call the attention of thoe interested in Pork here to this branch of th trade, as we have every facility of pursuing it with advantage.The drawback is, that Pork once frozen, as our winter supplies always reach us, do not take in the dry salt freely, and would therefore be risky to ship during the winter to England ; but during the .fall and spring we think a profitable business might be done.We have nothing new to notice in the Dry Goods Market.\u2022In Hardware.Sales this Spring, so far, have been small in comparison with previous years, both as regards Shelf Goods and heavy stuff ; but then imports have also beeu\u201dlight.l (The trade will most probably be extended later than usual, owing to the late Spring, and farmers are contracting their liabilities to country storekeepers.The Spring assortment of goods is very fair, though some qualities are commanding a higher price, owing to the reported damage to the cargo of the \u201cPride of Canada,\u201d which has a large quantity of Hardware on board.Remittances have been equally punctual with former years, but within the last fortnight they have come in but slowly, owing doubtless to all agricultural classes being busily employed at out-door pursuits.We only particuralize Tin Plates, which are looking up with a good demand for the last few days, this is owing to the reports concerning the \u201cPrifie of Canada.\u201d

of salt.Business during the week in nearly all branches has been brisk, and we have had a fair attendance of Western Canada buyers.We notice in a Quebec paper that the cargo of the \u201c Minerva \u201d has been sold at 76c per lb.all round ; we fancy this must be a clerical error, as we think 70c would be nearer the mark.But as regards the Montreal public, the price has been kept privaie.The general sale of the cargo by auction will be on the 28 th instant.Both sellers and buyers in the Grocery Market are anxiously awaiting the new tariff to be brought forward by Mr.Galt, and are therefore fearful of committing themselves in any heavy transactions.TEAS.\u2014Since our last the market has been firm, but not active.At sale by auction ex \u201c John Bull \u201d a fair amount was disposed of at satisfactory rates ; the chief run was on Japanese and Oolongs.Privately several parcels have been disposed of to supply Western orders, but we cannot change our quotations.We give

at previous quotations.SUGARS.\u2014The market has been active, and there have been considerable sales of round lots at an advance on our last quotations.A cargo of Cuba in Quebec was sold here to be shipped direct to Toronto ; the price has not transpired.Round lots of good Cubas have brought 65C\t6j ÿ\u2019 lb small lots 6jc lb.There have been no round lots of Porta Rico sold ; but small parcels

continue in circulation.A dullness and decline in cotton is attributed to them.The Paris correspondent of the Daily News writing on the 1st instant, says :\u2014 \u201c It is positively stated in official circles to-day that the French and English Ministers at Washington have received identical instructions to attempt a moral intervention, exclusive of any idea of forcible intervention, in the hope of putting an end to the war.\u201d The Paris correspondent of the Independence Beige reiterates the statement, relative to the contemplated intervention by France and England for the establishment of peace, in the most absolute manner, and I have reason to believe that the project will very soon be made known officially to the public.It is said that certain conditions will he imposed on the South, having for their object the gradual emancipation of the slaves.I am assured that in order to generalize the measures for the abolition of slavery, France and Spain have made a secret treaty by which this unnatural institution would disappear from C uba in a short time.A meeting, attended by about 6000 people, was held at Ashton-upon-Tyne to consider the crisis in the cotton districts.\" A motion calling on the Government to recognise the Confederate States and adopt Mr.Cobden's proposed alteration in i the maritime law, was jiroposed.An amendment was proposed calliug on the Governments of America, England and France to ciush the rebellion, but on a division the original motion was carried by a considerable majority.The Times publishes a letter from Mr.Russell explaining the difficulties thrown in his way by Secretary Stanton when he sought to visit the British man-of-war Rinaldo.He says that the difficulties amounted to prohibition, and thinks that Secretary Stanton would have ordered away the Rinaldo if he dared.Mr.Russell further Says :\u2014i\u2018ln conclusion, I may be permitted to add that I have received an assurance that Gen.McClellan has expressed himself strongly in reference to Secretary Stanton\u2019s conduct to himself and me in the matter, and that he and all his staff have been kind enough to declare to my friends how deeply they regret my absence from their camp.\u201d In the House of Commons on the 1st some explanations were made as to the delay in the American mails landed at Queenstown.The Government stated that arrangements are being j made to remove the difficulty.Mr.Maguire colled attention 'o the distress in the cotton manufacturing districts, and reported | deaths from starvation in Ireland.He asked what the Government intended doing Sir Robert Peel admitted that the distress did exist to some extent, hut the accounts were exaggerated.The Government deeply regretted the distress, but could not attempt to alleviate it by indiscriminate relief.An influential deputation waited on the President of the Poor Law Board relative to distress in the cotton manufacturing districts, an i pointed out the inadequacy of the Poor Law to meet it.The Prtsident explained to what extent the Poor Law guardians could depart from the provisions of the law.He stated that the matter would be left in the hands of the guardians, who were doing their duty very efficiently.The telegraphic details are published of the opening ceremony of the Great Exhibition.The number present was 300,000, all being season ticket holders.The Times says the ceremony was emphati] cally the grandest and best managed scene in Eng-land for years.Earl Granville, in the name of the Commissioners, presented an address to the Duke of Cambridge as the representative of the Queen, and the Duke made a suitable reply.The musical arrangements were carried out according to the programme and were very grand.The Morning Post in an editorial deplores the sad spectacle presented by the American attendance ai the exhibition.The second day the admission was one guinea, and the number of people was 32,596.The Times says that our G-oyercment has withdrawn its stake injthe militaryjpart of the enterprise in Mexico.We shall get such redress for the past, and guarantees for the future, as are found to be obtainable, and we want nothing tpore.^ DRAYjCB.It is stated that further reinforcements of French troops and war material are to be sent to Mexico.A letter from Mexico in thé Moniteur comments on the intolerable conduct of the Mexican Government, and asserts that there is a probability that the French troops will not delay marching on the city of Mexico.The Paris correspondent of the Times says that after much time and hesitation the Emperor decided to recall Gen.Guyon from Rome, and the people say it produces such an effect on the Empress that she'could notor would not appear at the dinner given to the Queen of Holland on the 12th, at the Tuileries, nor did she appear at the ball which followed the dinner.It is believed by the Italians in Paris that Rome will soon be occupied by Piedmontese troops.The Constitutionnel assorts that the recall of Gen.Guyon will not change the French policy.The Bourse was firm.Rentes had advanced to Hf, ITALY.The King remained at Naples, and continued to be enthusiastically received.He would proceed in a few days to Palermo.It was reported that Prince Napoleon would visit the King at Naples.PRUSSIA.the federal army.The enemy held them in check, and a mutiny issued.A strong force from our advance lines was sent over to interfere, and in a short time they returned with about 60 prisoners, mostly from the ranks of the deserting regiments.They give a doleful account of affairs in Beauregard\u2019s army.They confirm the previous statements that the troops from the Border States are anxious to return to their allegiance.They say that there is plenty of subsistence at Corinth.Washington, 14th.The French Minister has intelligence from his consul at Richmond, to the effect that the Rebel Government had informed him that should it be necessary to evacuate the city the French tobacco would be destroyed with the rest, but at the sametime the Rebels offer to pay for it, a proposition not relished by the Frenchmen.The Minister discredits rumors of European intervention in our affairs, and it is generally thought here that whatever purposes may have been entertained by England and France, the news from New Orleans will cause their indefinite postponement.The Richmond Federal prisoners say that the Rebels are as determined as ever, and believe that after two great impending battles they will if whipped bad, herd together in small guerilla parties, and fight to the last.The treatment of our prisoners is barbarous.Washington, May 14.Times\u2019 despatch\u2014Gen.Sprague says our loss at Williamsburgh in killed, wounded and missing, will amount to 2,000, and that the rebel loss was not less.He says the battle at West Point, under Franklin, was much more severe than reported, that at least 500 of our men were token prisoners, the enemy taking advantage of the landing of our troops.The gunboats came up in good time and saved Franklin from suffering a severe loss.New York, May 15.A Fortress letter of the 13th, says ;\u2014The deserters who are constantly coming in, agree in in their statements that the evacuation of Richmond is rapidly progressing, and that the effort of the retreating rebels is merely to hold back General McClellan so as to obtain time to move their stores.They also say that the destruction of the city by fire is threatened, and that it will require the utmost efforts on the part of the citizens to prevent it.That the evacuation is now progressing there is no manner of doubt, and the Government archives are being carried South.ft Military Promenade Concert VOCAL AND INSTRUMENTAL, AUCTION
