GREAT BRI I‘AIN In the British House of Commons Mr. _ Lindsay‘s motion to offer mediation and far recognition 05 the Southern Confede- . racy wits debated p20 and con. "Lord Palmerston opposed it and ap- pealed to the House to leave matters in the ' Modswf the Goviarntnent. The motion was finally Withdrawn. Breadstufl market was firmer with a trifling advance. Provisions qiuet and steady. Consols 92% to 93 for money. 'An excitetnetit'prevailed when the Nova. Scotsan left Londonderry, under the false , rumors of disasters to lV’lcClcllan.‘ Offers to surrender, 81c. , soon received a quietus by the Arabia’s news, but during Friday the news received much credence, although the Juras a ice‘two days later fully filttfied it. hands in London were slight- 1y aflected,‘ and dealings in American se- curities siispended. Even under the Arabia’s advices to the Times the news is not shown to be wholly untrue. In the House of Commons en the 18th, 'Mr. Lindsay’s motion declaring that the ‘ Confederates have shown such a determi- nationand ability to maintain their inde- pendence, that the prepriety of offering ,mediation, with a view to the termination of hostilities, is worthy of the serious and immediate consideration of the Govern- ment. Mr. Lindsay was pressed to withdraw his motion but felt it his duty to proceed. He argued strongly in favour of it, as did LordA. Vane ',1‘empest and Messrs. W hite- side and Gregory. Mr. Taylor and Lord Palmerston spoke against it. The latter earnestly advised that the question be left to the Gorernâ€" merit. In the course of his speech he treated the issue of the war as a foregone conclusion, saying that the only satisfac- tory termination that could be anticipated was amiable separation. ’Ihis however he thong lit would be impeded rather than facilitated by debates in Parliament. He contended that the acknowledgement by England could give the North no cause of offence, but thought the present position of the contest would not justify the re- cognition of Southern independence. ~â€" He again appealed to Mr. Lindsay to withdraw his motion, which was finally done. The Times says every man can see that the time draws near when Government must give its opinion. If McClellan is prov ed incapable ofresuming the offensive, the propriety of treating the Confederates as independent, may be justly discussed iii ”the Cabinet. '1‘ he ’Daily News and Slur applaud Palmerston :5 views, and contend that the time has not yet arrived for me- diation. During the debate on the Colonial lVIi- - litary expenditure tn the Heuse of Lords, the Canadians were reproachcd for negliâ€" gence in not providing a strong militia force. The English journals attack the Orâ€" leans Princes for the course they have pursued with the Northern Army. The Princess Clotilde gave birth to a Prince on the 18th. The London Times of Friday pub lisliesa third edition containing the fol- lowing :â€"â€"â€" BALTIMORE,JU1Y 3. A communication from Fort Monroe of the 2nd, states that German and Meade had arrived there wounded. They state that the divisions of Generals McCall and Reynolds surrendered to the Confederates. .

They hear evidence of having seen service. With some alterations they will hereafter speak for themselves iii a manner highly credit‘ able. Some 38 pieces more are expected at the same place. We find the followmg in the editorial columns of the same paper :â€" The great necessity of maintaining our army in its utmost efficiency is manifest to eveiy one. Our enemy, baffled but not broken, and a giant in power, is gatlieri tug his forces and ordering enormous zglevies of fresh men. and he is prepared to renew the onset with franatic energy. This is no time for our soldiers to scatter. On the contrary every man should be at his post ready to resist or Strike.» - In this paper is published an order notic- ed in the continuaiion of the above article, in which railroad agents and eiiiployes are requested to lend their aid in the re clamation of stragglers and deseiters. The Charleston [Mercury states that the steamers Nashville and, Kale, which recently brought valuable cargoes of arms and smunition into a Souliteiii j",101t have succeeded in making thci ir way out to $13 in spite ol the blockade squadron at the point where they escaped. ~ FORT IV’IONROE,July 28.â€"Some days ago, as Was reported, I learned that there was a large 1ebel‘ .orce of infantry. cavalry and artillery, being concentrated iii the neighbourhood of Petersburg and along the: banks of the James River, between the junction of the Oppamattox and James River and Richmond. On Friday, 25th, when the Union pri soners were being conveyed from Richâ€" mond to City Point, at every side track and turn-out they passed trains of cars, laden with rebel troups, headed towards Richmond, and some rebel Officer's offered as an apology for bringing down our pri- soners on freight cars, that they were US- ing all their passenger cars in moving tt'oOps to reinforce Jackson. It is more than possible that this was a movement intended to disguise the fact that the rebels aietiow in strong icice between liichmond and Opprimatttox iiver, and still collecting forces and send ing them iii that direction; and what. strengthens this opinion is the pains takenb to inform prisoners and officers in charge that the movement” of troops was reinforcements gorng to Stonewall Jackson, and that no one knew where he was, but they knew how to reach him with reinforcements. 1113.11) Qunn'rnas, ARMY 01' THE Po- TOMAC, Tuesday, July 29.-â€"~Dr. Wil- liams, who has been a prisoner at Salts bury, N. C., for several months, arrived here on Saturday, having been uncondi- tionally released, states that for ten days after the battles in front of Richmond, one thousand rebel t100ps passed through that town daily on their way to Rich- mond, and mote were On their way. The Dr’s. window overlooked the railroad and depot, and gave him a good opportunity to ascertain what was going on there.â€"~ The troops came from James Island, and Eastern Georgia. Among other facts the Di'. ascertained that 11.000 troops were at Charlottesville waiting transportation to Richmond, that 30,000 conscripts had been raised in each of these States of Tennessee and Georgia, since the 9th of July, and a proportionate number in the other extreme Southern States. He heard the Adjutant oft-20L Goodwin who commands the post of Salisbury, who had Jackson wasin rear of the Federals just come from Richmond, state that the and Price in front. Gen.

The above was by the Glasgow at Cork. THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION, New YORK, July 29. --The Tribune has the followingzmlt is whispeied that Gen. IIalleck has sent all the Spades in Gen. McClellan’s army to the rear, and has ordered muskets to the front. At all events there was no digging there for the first time for many weeks, on the day af- ter his visit to the peninsula. Steps are taking to bring loyal blacks by the hundreds from the t,valley of the Shenandoah within the lines of Gen. Sie- ge‘l’s army corps.

Mor- gan, from Owen Co. ., is reported as having passed through Flat Rock, Bourbon 00., en route to the South. Gen. H. T. Sherman has issued orders that no more gold shall be paid for cot- ton, and that venders refusing the current funds of the place, shall forfeit half their cotton. Fonrnnss MONROE. July 27.â€"The Petersburg Express, of the 25111. states that Farragut’s and Porter’s vessels are on the point of leaving for Mobile and James River. The Richmond Examiner and Peters- burg Empress, of the 25th, have been re- ceived. The Express says editorially, to speak- ing of drafting in this section :--‘ Whilst we are disposed to believe this is pretty generally the true aspect of the matter at the Northvour belief is nevertheless not founded upon the statements ofthe Yankee l journals, and We caution the people of the South not to allow their minds and mea- Adjutant of General Hill told him that the rebels had 173,000 troops engaged in the battle of seven days. He was accom panied by Dr. Stone, who was taken pi'iâ€"' soner at Bull Run, and who coriohorates the statement so far as relates to the movements of troops on their way to Rich mond, they passed long trains of empty cars on their way South. If their state- ments are true. and there is every reason to believe they are, it shows the rebels are staking their all in this State, by con- centrating within its borders an over- whelming force. GARIBALDI PROJECTING AN Expect- 'rrON AGAINST ROME. â€"â€"l: is stated that the Italian Government has discovered a plot, the object of which is the eXpulsion of the Pope from Rome. Garibaldi was acâ€" cused of being the leader ofthe conspiracy, and English emissaries, with consulerable sums of money, were running all over Italy in cider to procure recruits D'I‘OI the expe- dition, which is said to be countenanced by the first families of Italy. It was be~ heved by the leaders of the plot that the French garrison at Rome, which is now reduced to about 7,000 men, would be glad to leave the city, and would not afford any serious resistance. DEATH BY Sommeâ€"On Monday morning last, a man natned Moses Miller, a cooper by trade, committed suicide in his own house, in Dundas, by cutting a fearful gash iii his throat with a razor. Coroner McMahon held an inquest on the body, when the wife of the decased was examined, her evidence being simply that her husband had been drinking very hard for two weeks past, and that on Monday morning she went out of the house for a few minutes, and when she returned she found the deceased lying 011 the floor dead. The jury returned a verdict to the effect that death was caused by the deceased cutting his throat during a fit of tempora- ry insanityâ€"Banner. QUITE A COMFORTABLE INCOMEâ€"â€" Atnong other celebrities in London, is antes to be influenced by such worthless Baron Steiglitz, the great Petersburg authority. Again, we would repudiate all- banker, who is declared to be the richest this tattle of theirs about the slow progress individual in the w0ild. Ills annual ill-j of recruiting and looking upon it as only a come is estimated at over two and a half ruse by which they are seeking to throw millions of dollars. . - 9..."; .3: .'.. ;.t.~.' sax..\:..»... - , Fl 1 Wfly Vort‘aern its}. lTiiiio table takes elreot Monday.

T111: editor ofthe Brownsville paper is great in the use of comparisons. Illustration is his strong point, his forte, his hobby. In this depart- lment, his genius expands and his imagination soars to wondrous heights. The subjects of his meta- plioi's are likewise, in general, worthy of the manner in. WhiCll they are treated. Sell is the main topic, the first and the last, the al- pha and the omega of all his dis- quisitions. In reading his paper one is forcibly reminded of a cer- tain author, remarkable for his ex- traordinary egotism, who wrote a work in which the pronoun "I" was so frequently used that the printer found it impossible to pro- cure a sufficient number of that capital letter to finish the book. A short time ago he lamented most piteously over the bitterness of his sufferings , persecutions met him at all times, in all places, and in all possible ways. But be wouldb be a hero as 'Well as a martyr; he was perfectly invulnerable ; he was of the wrong metal to be bullied.â€" Our correspondent suggested, that the metal referred to might be brass; and people generally think that he was pretty near right. More re- cently he turns from the mineral to‘ the animal kingdom for his similes. and in beginning and article on election matters. very gravely and wisely asserts, in the words of the philosopher of the .N'. Y. Tribune, that “ men are after all very much like sheep, where the one goes the rest will blindly follow, it may be to destruction.” This he considers applicable to the Midland Division ; and it is so pcculiarly'adapted to illustrate the proceedings of the Conservative Delegates, are strongly inclined to coincide with his views. It appears that there were at this con veniion, some seventeen or eighteen delegates, who took part in the business. At?- cording to the Examiner’s own ac- count, these Delegates were all of one mind, in reference to the choice ofa candidate, with the exception of one solitary individual, (the Secretary.) and it is this unit doubt- less that is teprcsentcd in the above quotation, as the “ one sheep.” In order to be quite certain that this was the intention of the writer, let us look'at the extract once more : “ Men are. after all, very much like sheep.” And what is the reason P Because “ where one goes, the rest will blindly follow.” But if the rest do not blindly follow, of course they are not like sheep. They only exhibit their shecpisb propensities. by their willingness to follow “ one sheep.” The simile is complete, and singularly applicable to lhe case in hand; and we must thank the Examiner man for dra Wing his own portrait with such striking accur- acy. The one solitary sheep, which nobody would follow, has evidently gone astray; has lost the path, in search of more luxuriant pasture; and has failed to find it; hence the extraordinary amount of bloating, in the direction. of Brownsville of late. " It is unmanly,” he continues, “ to make sheep of ourseIVes, and“ follow a myth.” Quite true, and so thought the Delegates at the Convention, and this accounts for their determination, to allow the “ one sheep to take his own 0 iurse and wander away among the thoins and briars, that infect the rqad he .and a very 'respeetnble liahi. made, that we ' (91‘ 13:11:13,113. has chosen, He will probably lose tailed at two pence a glass under the gieaier part of his already scantyp the pious noses of those who stickle fleece bejole he returns. ifOr Sabbath observance.

It appears that Mr. and Mrs. Mc- Na‘ir had gone to Church, about half-past ten o’clock on the morn- ingof above day. They had no- glected to fasten one of their Wln- dows which was left up, and, by all appearances, the robber had got access. to the. house by this means. The visitor had made them-selves quite at. home, having attended to the wants of the inner man and demolished the largest part of a pie. They also carried offtleire sil'ver watches, two vests, a shirt. and some loose money. They .also appear to have made a thorough investigation for other valuables, and turned over everything iii the search for moni-y. Mr. McNair fortunately had no money in the house. having made use of a con- siderable sum two days previous. However athey got hold of a bag containing notes, which they scat- tered about the house, and Alleged Murder of a. Woman in Toronto, Frans the Globe of Wednesday. Yesterday morning the residents on Richmond street, between Yoik and Bay streets, were alarmed by a i'epOit that ii woman named lVlargaret Smlreilaiid, wife of Jonn Sutherland, labourer, had been murdered, and that she had been found lying in a pool of blood at the foot of the stairs leading to her dwelling. The facts ofthe case are as followszâ€"vA labourer named Patrick O’Connor called at Suther- land’s house about a quarter past six o’ek in the morning, to get; Sutherland to go to work With him. On opening the dour of the house, which is situated on lllt. south side of l’uchmond street, a few houses from the corner of York street, he found Suthei'land‘s wile lying at the foot of the stairs. He saw that she had blood on her head and breast, and he went, and informed the persons who occupy the lower floor of the house of what he had seen, and said that the woman had been badly beaten nd, he thought, was about to die. Hi.- then went off to work. Mrs. Sullivan, who occupies the lownr floor, on receiving the information, went round to the latte, and on opening the door leading to Suther land’s house, found the body, as described by O’Conner. "Three other women by this time had got to the spot, one of whom, Mrs. Lamont, went up stairs to call Suth- erland. He was in bed, and came dowu after be bad dreSSed himself. Another man came down stairs before him, but no one appears to know who he was. Ac- cording to Sutlicrland’s own story, he came to his house the night before and , asked for a night’s lodging, and he allowed him to stay in the house. When Suther- land came down stairs, he used very strong language towards the women who tvei'c standing round his Wife, and ordered them to go about their business. Then did not move, but the body was allowed to lie at the foot of the stairs for over on hour longer. As a large crowd began to col- lect, Sutherland was finally prevailed upon to assist in carrying the body up stairs, where it was laid on the floor Mrs. Std,- Iivan states that while they were carrying the body up, she observed that the head was a little warm. The face and breast were covered with blood, which had oozed from the wound on the top of the head.â€" .Wben the body was laid on the floor, Sutherland, who appears to have treated the tote of his wife with perfect indiffer- once, was earnestly solicited to go for a doctor, and he at length consented.

Some f your readers may icinember the sorry figure ‘simple Josey’ cut when he had no less than four of the Maikliam Innkeepers hauled up under the pretended charge of selling liquor and cigars on aSun- day. when the real motive was shown to be an attempt to ‘raise the wind.’ Also another of more recent date, where a pious humbug attempted to get some poor labor- ors fined for doing a work of neces- sity on the Sabbath, and after the miserable turn up of both these cases, one would have thoughtl would have been a sufficient warn- ing to such characters to mind their own business.

They both undressed and got into bed. and that was all he knew about the affair until he saw her lying at the foot of the stair. He then remarked that she must have got up and gone down stairs to get liquor which she had hidden 111 the lane, as he did not allow her to hi'itit,t liquor into the house. Dr. Scott, Wllt‘tl he reached the house, pronounced the woman dead, and said she must have died serei'al liouis pieviously, as the body was quite cold. the dWelling of Sutherland presented the most miserable appearance.
