As soon as she came within range of the Cumberland, the lat- ter opened on her with her heavy guns, but the balls struck and glanced off, hav- ing no more effect. than peas from a pop gun. moved off in silence, but with a full head of steam. In the meantime, as the [WW- 7'imoc was approaching the two frigates on our side, the iebel iron-clad steamers Jamestown and Yorktown came down the rivtr and engaged our fligalcs on the other side. The batteiies at Newport News also opened on the Jamestown and York/own, and did all in their power to assm the Cumberland and Congress, which bring sailing vessels were at the. mercy of file. approaching steamers. , The flier/inure in the meantime kept steadily on her course and slowly ap- proached thp szzbcr/mnl, and when she and the Congress. at a distance of 100 yards, raiucd lull bl‘Oittlrldt‘S on the iron- clad monsters-that. took‘ no effect, glanc ing upwards and flying off, hating only the effect of checking hcr progress for a moment. After receiving the first broad- side of the two frigates, she ran on to the Cumberland. striking her about midships, and literally laying open her sides then drew off and fired a broadside into the disabled ship, and again dashed against her with her iron c'ed prow, and, knocking in her side, left her to sink while she engaged the Congress, which lay about. a quarter of a mile distant. The Congress had in the meantime kept up a sharp engagement with the Yorktown and Jamestown, and having no regular crew on board of her, and Seeing the hopelessness of resisting the hon-clad steamer, at once struck her colours, Her crew had been discharged several days since, and three companies of the naval brigade had been [‘tli‘ on board temâ€" porarily, until she could be relieved by the St. ch'zcrcncc, which was to have gone up on Monday to take her position as one of the blockading vessels of the James river. On the Congmss striking her co- lours,the Jamestown approached and took from on board of her all her officers as prisoners, but allowed the crew to escape in boats. The vessel being thus cleared, was fired by rebels; when the Illerrinzac and her two iron clad companions opened with shell and shot on the Newport News batteries. The firing was briskly re~ t:urned. Various reports have been received, principally from frightened Sutler’s clerks. Some of themrepresenls that the garrison had been compelled to retreat from the batteries to the woods. Another “51?: that the two smaller rebel steamcis had been- compcllcd to retreat from their guns. . In the meantime the steam frigate Jilin ncsola, having partly got up steam, was being towed up to the relief of the two frigates, but did not get up till it was too 'lale to assist them. She was also follow. ed up by the frigate St. Lawrence, which was taken in low by several of the small harbour steamers. It is, however, rumor- ed that neither of these vessels had pilots on board, and after a short engagement both of them seemed to be, in the bpinion She of the pilots, on the Pomt aground. The AbnncsoML, either intentionally or from necessity, engaged the three steamers at about a mile distance, with only her twu bow guns. The St. Lawrence also poured in shot from all the guns she could. bring to bear, and it was the impression of the most experienced naval officers on the Point that both had been considerably damaged. i 'i‘h-ssc statements, it must be born in mind, are all based on what could be seen by a glass at a distance of nearly eight miles, and a few panic sft’icken homeom- batants. who fled at almost the first gun from Newport News. h In the meai'ilime darkness approached. though the. moon shone out brightly, and' nothing but the occasional flashing ofauns could be seen. a The Afrrrinmc was also believed to be aground, as she remained stationary at a distance of a mile from the ildtnrzesom, making no attempt to attack or molest her. Previous to the departure ofthe steamer for Baltimore, no guns had been fired for half an hour, the last being fired from the , Minnesota. Some persons declared that immediately after the last gun was fired, a dense vo- .'ume of vapour was seen to rise from the Jlfcrro'mac, indicating an explosion of her boiler. \‘i'hether this is so or not cannot be known, but it is the- universal opinion that the rebel monster was hard aground. Fears were of course entertained for the safety of the Mnncsom and St. Law rencc in such an unequal contest, but ifthe llkrrimac was really ashore, she could do no more damage. It was the intention of the Minnesota, witli her picked and gallant crew, to run into Eclose quarters with the Merrimoc, avoid her iron prow and board her. This, the Atari-[mac seemed not inclined to give her an oppoilunity to do. 9 At eight o’clock, When the Baltimore boat left, a fleet of tugs Were being sent up to the relief of the Minnesota and the St. Lawrence, and an endeavor was to be made to draw them off the. bar on which they had grounded In the meantime the firing had suspended, whether from mu« Her ports were all closed, and she . \VASHINGTON, March 11. The whole confederate fortifications at Manassas were abandoned, and every thing possible burned. Before dark last night Col. Averill, with a large body ofcavahy, entered the farâ€"famed confederate works and birouaked for the night amidst the ruins of the confederate stronghold. Intelligence gathered at Maiiassas and in the neighborhood tends to show that the whole Confederate army has retired southward. 1t isnot credited that they will attempt to make a stand at that point, as the country is all open, level and unpi'on'iising for defensive warfare. The opinion is gaining ground that Gordonsville was simply the rendezvous for what was lately the Confederate; army of the Potomac, as it is the junction of the Orange and Alexandria railroad with the Virginia Central railroad. The only point at which they can with any smt ofconfideilce attempt. to make a stand is near the junction of the Frederic and Potomac. with the Virginia Central railroad, in which neighborhood the North Anna and South Anna rivers unite and form the Panamaky river, about 20 miles directly north of tichmond. At this point. the country is much broken and ad- :nirahly fitted for dcfeiice. It is reported that in their retreat the Confederates have. destroyed the railroad b.idgc across the north fork of the. Rap- pitllttllDOL‘lC. In their haste they have left behind straggling parties of soldiers. who seem to be very glad to bemade prisoners. Wherever they have gone it is evident that their aimy is completely demoralized and utterly unfit for service. The moral effect of the retreat from .Vlauassas to the South as it is in the part of Virginia just evacuated, where the impression pre- vailsthat the Southern Confederacy has collapsed, and many of the people thank None of them struckâ€" her, but LeaVUTorOMO-u -. . .. . Richmond will be the same throughout God for it. The forts are all abandoned, but log huts, hundreds in! numbeis, and ample to accommodate fully 30,000 troops, still. remain. Heaps of dead horses cover the freld in the Vicinity. The railroad track is un- disturbed exceptgtbc bridge. The stone bridge across Bull Run on the \Varrenton Turnpike is blown up, as is also the bridge across Cub Run, between Centcrville and Manassas. Everything at Manassas in~ dicatcs the precipitate flight of the Con- federates. All the log bats are standing, and an immense number of tents. Some caissons were found, but no guns. Piles of bullets and cartridges Were left in the tents, and an immense quantity of quarter-master‘s stores. In one place Were discoveied twenty thousand bushels corn, which had been set on fire and was still smouldering. They brought back abundant confederate trOphies; pack saddles, muskets, revolvers and bowie knives. Over 1,000 pack sad- dles were found, ail new, and marked C. A. People in the vicinity state that prior to the evacuation they were 100,000 confederate troops at Manassas and Cent- erville. They saw one confederate on the breastworks, who retreated on their ap- proach. Covering the breastworks were what appeared to be cannon, but on ex- amination they proved to be wooden affairs got up for effect. Two Pennsylvania cavalry regiments were the first Union troops entering Centerville. At Brenlville, four miles from Manassas a home guard had bet-n organized to pro- tect themselves against Secessionists. Gen. McClellan has taken up his quar- ters at Fairfax Court House. A despatch has been received contra- dicting the announcement that \Vinchester was occupied by our troops, and stating that it is held by a Confederate force. In is believed here by the informed criti- ques on military affairs, that the Confedeiu ales there are simply a portion of the Virginia militia left there to cover the reâ€" tlrrat of the main body ofthe Confederates of the Potomac.’ It is not probable that any considerable force would be maintain- ed in Virginia, after the evacuation of Man-.Issas, which commands the only rail road avenue thence to Richmond. l THE MARRIAGE OF TIiE PRINCESS AI.ICE-â€"THE MARRIAGE I‘REATY.â€"-â€" The treaty between Her Majesty and the Gitand Duke of Hesse, relative to the marriage of the Princess Alice. has been issued. It consists of nine articles. The expense of the joint establishment are to .be defrayed out of the appendage of the bridegroom, which is fixed at 40,00010iu ins aâ€"y'ear, and the interest of the marriage portion ofthe Princess Alice, which is £30 000. Articles 4i, 5-, and 6 provide for the investment of her Royal Highnessk mar- riage portion, and for its disposal in case of there being issue or otherwise. By the 71h article Her bliajesly promises to secure to her daughter from the time of her mar- riage the annual sum of £6000," to be re- ctriVetl by commissioners named by the. Queen, for the sole and separate use ofthe ' Princess, The Grand Duke of Hesse en- gages by the 8th article to secure to Her Royal Highness, iir the event of the death of his son, a joinlure, together with a res- idence at Drainstadt, and the interest of her marriage puition. Should Her Royal Highness become Grand Duchess of Hes- se, she is to receive the same allowance that former Grand Duchesses have enjoy- ed.

PNEUMATICAL science teaches us that the exterior pressure of the at- mosphere on the human body would crush it to atoms, if not counteracted by the opposing pres- sure of the air within us. But in consequence of the one force acting in Opposition to the other, we ex- perience no inconvenience from the enormous weight. This fact in physical science very aptly illus- trates the effect likely to be pro- duced by the contradictory charges brought against the Government. by the two principal organs of the op- posuion. The Globe for several years has been trying to prove that we are ruled by Lower Canada influence ; that; Fieuch domination is one of the curses of the country; that the voice of Upper Canada is disre- garded in- the‘ Legislature; in fact, that the Moutons, as that journal has frequently been pleased to deâ€" signate the pgople of the Lower Province, have everything. their own way. On the other fraud, Le Page, the organ of Mr. Dorion, M r. Brown’s colleague in thetwoâ€"day s ministry, charges this same Go- vernment with having systematiâ€" cally excluded French Canadians front the public offices; and with having bestoch by far the largei share of government patronage on persons of British origin. In proof of this it publishes a detailed list of government employees classified according to nationality, by which it appears that only about one- fiflb of the persons employed in the various offices are of French dc- scent. The Leader and otherjour- nals in the Upper Province repro- duce this list in order to refute the oft-repeated assertions of the Globe. How are these stubborn facts met? First, the Globe attempts to throw discredit on them, by asserting that the Ministerial journals do not vouch for their accuracy. It does not. satisfy the Globe, that they ori’ ginated with the organ of Mr Brown’s colleague. The guarantee. of Mr Dorion is, in the Globe’s estimation, insufficient to establish the truth of a statement, unless en- dorsed by a Ministerial journalâ€"- 11 is well that the Globe has at last discovered that the opposition prints are not to be relied on ; and it is quite probable that this feeling is fully rcciprocated by its Lower Canada allies. But the Globe is willing, for ar- guments sake, to admit the accuâ€" racy of the statement, and then goes on to show that. the reason why Lower Canadians fill but a small number of offices is, that as a gene- ral thing, they are not well adapted for business; and that they do not make good clerks and book-keep- ers. -~ ssurning this statement. to be correct, which is very doubtful, what does it prove 9 It shows that the GOVCl‘i’In'IOHI. has acted very judiciously in filling up the various offices, and that their selections have been made rather with a. view to capacity and fitness, than from considerations of nationality or creed. It. shows also that the mean bers of the. Lower Canada section of the ministrv arc‘not of that sol» fish, domineering, grasping class which the Globe has represented them to be. If its assertion be true, they must have exercised a considerable amount of self-denial in passing over their own country- men, and bestowing four-fifths of their patronage on others. While the Globe charges the Government with throwing the chief power and patronage into the Pays accuses it much patronage to “yoâ€"4 notion Sales.

From the Globe; The largest robbery of an employer by his salesman ever perpetrated in Toronto has just been brought to light in the mos; extraordinary manner. it appears that Mr. Bacon, dry goods merchant, Yonge street, near Adelaide street, engaged a young Englishman named David Jackson as salesman, about sixteen months ago. He was very attentive to his duties, took much interest in the business, and soonl gained the respect of his employer, who placed the‘most implicit confidence in his honesty. At the close of last year Mr. Bacon gave him a handsome addition to his salary, in order to induce him to con- tinue in his employment. \Vithen the past two months he observed that Jackson had become very careless, and would fre- quently throw valuable pieces of ribbon and gloves about, but Mr. Bacon did not take notice of his conduct, as he found him very useful, and Wished to retain him in his employment. The key of his strange i conduct on the part of the young man has, '.‘-;'eV€I‘, been discovered, and that in a extraordinary manner. It appears about three days ago a little girl any . light years of age, daughter of .‘Jr. Ba! ~ «10211101118? girl about the same age wet. lying about the store, when Mr. Bact s daughter obsrrt‘cd Jackson ab- sti-ac. a ‘* blue bill,’ as she called it, from the ill, pass to the other end of the store, .and put it in his pocket. There Were only the three in the store at the time, The two girls talked about what they had seen, and the little girl told her mother, Mrs. Bacon of the circumstances. Of course it 8001] reached Mr. Bacon’s ears but he would not believe it. He, bow- eVer, after giving the subject due sousider- lilllOIl, procured elevmi :51 bills on various banks, which he privately marked. He handed them: over to a man, a stranger, and told him to call at the store, purchase a quantity of goods, and tender the markâ€" ted bills in payment. This was done early in the morning, shortly after the store was opened, and when no one was present except Jackson. slaw/s about half an hour afterwards, and on examining the till found only one bill in it. He quietly sent for a con- stable, stationed him in the back kitcticn.l called Jackson into a back room, and charged him with abstracting money from the till. This he strenuously denied at first, but on Mr. Bacon opening the door of the kitchen and showing him'the constable, his courage forsook him. Mr, Bacon pulled a list of the marked bills out of his pocket, and Jackson medium the hills which he had received, and which were the same as those given by Mr. Bacon to the man to purchase the goods. Jackson then acknowledged that be had taken $15019 previous day, and $17 the one preceding that. Mr. S had taken; when he replied, “A large pile.” “How large a pile!” inquired the ' hands of the Lower Canadians, Le l employer. of giving too were to tell you,” replied the young man. the UppeLAftcr some hesitation, however be ac, “ It would frighten you if I ‘1 this "aura ' 1-: a» '-"-P"~"".~v-'~"-1L «.94 I therefore bow with humble submission i Mr. Bacon came down 1; ,or nor thinly left the building. , Bacon told 1 him to own frankly the amount of all he ' A aafinmswfiuswn.’ t‘.~.,-...n.'.\ .-* cu,~é‘-M-Ai VI' ~- $3,000 and $4,000. IVlr. Bacon’s as- tonishment may be imagined on hearing such a revolution, and he immediately en- quired what he had done Willi the money. Learning that a large amount of it was in Jackson’s trunk at the Black Home hotel a cab was procured, and Mr. Bacon and his dishonest salesman pro-ceded to the place. The trunk was opened and at the bottom was found $2,200 all in silver. It was all in wallets made of old. stockings, and each containing $100. Two rolls of bills were discovered done up in parcels ol $100; several dollars in gold and inl COPPCIS‘. The young man’s trunk also contained dry goods of various kinds, consisting of silk vestings, ties, shirts, collars, cloths, amounting in value to about $150. He, also after some sharp ques- tions on the part of Mr. Bacon, informed that gentleman that he had $800 in the Bank of British North America, and pro-r ’ duced the certificate of deposit. He at the same time acknowledged that he had loaned about $220 to various parties in the city. Mr. Bacon called on these parties with him and the money will be handed over. They also went. to the Bank. and Jackson drew out the $800: with interest $23,150, the amount having been deposited since July last. ' This was all handed over to Mr. Bacon: tire sum recovered including the value of the goods is over $3,300. A memoranâ€" dum found in Jackson’s pocket shows that be commenced pilfering the day he enter- ed Mr. Bacon’s store and several scraps of paper give evidence that he lately calculated what his illgottcn gains amount- ed to. The young man has not yet been given into custody, as further revi-lations are expected. It, is certainly the most extraordiary robbery ever perpetrated in Toronto. THE ERECTION OF JAMES BROWN. On Monday morningthe awful penalty of the law was inflicted on James Brown, at the Toronto goal, before an immense concourse of porous, and it is to be hoped that the law’s. sad formalities were impres- sive and salutory. The case’ has eXcited much serious interest in the country, and several Tomato Ministers, of dilferent Churches, most laudably exerted them- selves religiously in behalfof the condemn- ed man, and, it is sincerely believed with good effect. Of these the Rev. Charles Fish, Wesleyan Minister, was the most as- siduous, and the attendant of Browu during his last night on earth, and on the scaffold: ibis reward is on high. Mr. Fish possesses the son’s correspon- lence with his broken-hearted father in England, has aiready given to the public statements written by bin at Brown’s re- quest, and under his dictation, signed» by Brown’s own hand. Those stateu'ients convey information of Bruivn‘s early life, and latter career, and they are important as showing the effect. which the grace of God had upon him when his days were numbered. Persons of caution will not hastily receive the religious testimony of the man himself; but the additional private testimony through Mr. Fish seems satis , factory. lie persisted in saying he was no mur- derer at any time; but without reserve confessed the abandoned life he lived, and as unreservedly states the cause of it to have been, bad company and spirituous li- quors. His life, death, and now public confession, are admonitory, and they show clearly how nectzssary are well-applied moral means, and indispensable the power of the Gospel, to restrain, regenerate, and elevate human society, and until that power becomes ui‘iiVersal,the' way of trans- gressors is hard, and demands the cease- less services ofChristian iiien.â€"â€"Guardian.

Montau- hon relative to the reception which the bill met Willi in the Legislatif Corps, has pro- duced a very unpleasant sensation. The Paris correspondent of the Daily .Ncws says it is rumored that the serious conflict between the Emperor and the Corps Legislatif, on the subject of Count Palikao’s donation, is likely to end in a con‘iinpromise; the House voting him a life pension to the amount of 50,000 francs, and Government consenting not to have it made hereditary. 'Ihe Bourse on the 26th was firm and advanced to '70 a '75. AUSTRIA. Upon the anniversary of the promoul- gation of the constitution, the Emperor in person conferred upon Baron Von Hemer- ing, Minister of State, the Grand Cross of the Order of Leopold, with an author- graplr letter recognizing his services. ._..i_ FACTS FOR Pooa FABMEiis‘.â€"~‘ Those farmers who have most difficulty to make ends meet,always plough most. and keep must stock. Now these men take the true plan to always keep themselves poor, be- cause their crops and stock are alua ys poor and bring little.’ So writes John John- ston, in a letter to‘the Secretary ofthe N. Y. State Society; and he illustrates his statement :â€"-â€"~‘ It good profit to raise 300 bushels of wheat from ten acres ; but when it takes thirty acres to raise that amount, it is raised at a. loss. So it is with cattle and, sheep. You will see the thinking far- mer making four-year old slot-rs Worth from $60 to $80 each, and his neighbour’s at. the same age not worth over $25 to $403 His advice to the latter is, ‘If his land is exhausted, he should plough no more than he can thoroughly manure. Seed with clover and grass, and let it rest, and that field will not only pay well for tillage but it will furnish manure (ifrightly managed) to make another field of the same siZe rich aISO.’ And then keep it rich; do not run it with grain until again exhausted, or the ‘latter end of that land will be worse than the first.’ It has been said that the three sweetest words in the English language are, happiness, home, and heaven. About these cling the most touching associations, and with them are connected the sublimest asâ€" pirations.
