Iwas sent out to look after you.’ ' Some of the officers subsequently in- formed me that they had a list comprising quite anumber of British steamers that they were ordered to seize wherever they might catch them, and that if we had pas- sed the Mercedita, two other steamers were cruising inside of the providence Channel and just around the port of Nas- sau, which would have been certain to take us; in fact that that harbour was well blockaded.’ The captain adds :â€"- ‘Yesterday (Sunday), being permitted Her Majesty’s Consul. - He requested me, as soon as we had given our depositions to the prize commissioners, to call at his office and note a1 protest, when he would communicate immediately with Lord Lyons.’ -' I - unifiiiiiiitiéiiii 'Riivo'iltrriiiN, CAIRO, June 8.

The Monarch suc- ceeded in strikirg her midsliips, almost cut» ting her in two. causing her to fill and sink immediately, in the channel directly op- posite the city. At this juncture the Little Rebel made a dart at the Monarch, which by this time was in the midst of the Confederate fleet, but by a skilful move- ment of the pilot of the latter she dropped out of the way, and the blow intended for her struck the Confederate boat Gen. l’rice, taking away her wheel and making it necessary for her to run ashore, where ‘ she sent a shot 'which, unfortunately for ‘ the Confederates. struck their boat, the Gen. Lovell, rendering her unmanageable. Immediately after she was run down by the Queen of the West,-a breadsid‘e from the Benton took effect in the sides of the Jeff.

WASHINGTON, June 8.â€"Private in- formation received atone of the foreign legations at ‘ Washington state that rumours were current at Richmond, that letters had been received from England announcing the arrival, in a short time, of Count dc Persigny, in the United States. It was also said that this voyage was undertaken at the instigation of the Eng- lish cabinet, and that nothing would be done in reference to American affairs by either England or France, before the return of the French Minister. Private letters from Baltimore state lthatJefl'. Davis had issued an address to the rebel army, in which he designates the battle of the SeVen Pines as a glorious victory for the rebel army. He also tells them that they have made 8,000. prisoners. and a large quantity of proviSions and amunitions of war. WASHINGTON, June '7. Despatches have been recoivet‘l at ll": War Department from Gen. Mitchell’s division, Huntsville, Ala., June 6, stating that an expedition under Gen. Negly drove the Confederates, commanded by Gen. Adams, from Winchester, through Jasper, back to Chattanooga, and utterly y. V“. wounded, while’iall made the most Commendable efforts to get out of the reach of danger as fast as pos- sible. This disgraceful rout Was afterwards partially atoned for, by the courage shown by the other di- visions,during the remainder‘of the day. The onwardice of. Casey's division is explained, by the state- ment that this was their first en- gagement, that they were sadly .de- ficient.in their drill, and that Casey is one of the most incompetent of- ficers in the army. If this was the case, it is'astonishing that the most inexperienced troops should be placed in advanced positions, where the result of a battle Would depend, to a great extent, on their firmness. There has been either a misrepresentation of the facts, or an absence of prudent foresight in the commander. The battle was renewed on Sunday morning, and the Confederates, after fighting desperately for some time, retired within the city. Last accounts announce“ all quiet before Richâ€" mond.’ A‘ peculiar and interesting fea- ture of this engagement, is the manner in which the Commander availed himself ofthe art of balloon- ing, as a means of communication between himself and his generals. Professor Lowe, the c’elebrated aer- onaut made an ascent from the Fe- deral camp, in his. balloon, imme- diatelv after the commencement of the battle, and remained at an ele- vation Ofabout 2000 feet during its continuance; indicating by tele- graphic signals the relative posi- tions of the combatants, and the progress of the struggle. Hitherto balloons have been regarded chiefly as objects of amusement, kept for public exhibition, and holiday en- tertainment; but the Americans certainly deserve some credit for having rendered it practically use- ful as an auxiliary in conducting military operations.

THE great battle fought in the vici- nity of Richmond on Saturday, May 31, and the following day, re:- Sulted in a mueh greater loss on the part of the Federals than at first stated in‘ the official despatches of Gen. McClelland. He puts down the total in killed, wounded and missing, at 5,739,but later accounts make it something like 7000; and it is stated more recently still, that there are 8,000 Federal prisoners in Richmond at the present time. On the whole, there is no doubt that a great deal Of courage and bravery was exhibited on both sides. The ‘ first attack was made by ihe Con- federates, at one o’clock on Satur- day, in the midst of a terrific thunderstorm. The advanced posi- tion of the Northern troops was oc- cupied by Gen. Casey’s division, composed, it is said, almost entirely of raw recruits, organized last wm- ter. The inclemency of the wea- ther rendered the probability Of an attack so remote, that it took them completely by surprise, threwthem‘ into a' panic, and produced a rapid and most inglori‘ous retreat. In the Words of the despatch, they gave way ‘unaccountably and disunit- edly,’ Generals Heintzelman and Kearney soon came up to the rescue, followed by others from the rear.â€" Attenipts were made to stem the torrent of retreating soldiers, but, with small result. Some simulated sickness, othc'r's pretended to be . the R. Road in the direction of Mo- le‘ss owing chiefly to their inability encounter about thirty were killed and wounded on each side. On the 29th a battery was taken, and ex- tensive preparations Were madefor a general attack next day. During the night, however, the Cenfec‘er- ates evacuated the place, taking with them as much of their stores and material as they could continui- ently remove ; and retreated along bile. Next moinging Gen. Halleck entered and took possession of the town“ without opposition. Accounts from Louisville of the 9th inst. state that Beauregard‘s army still continue their retreat. along the Mobile R. Road, pursued by Gen. ’Halleck {and it is also asâ€" serted that 20,000 of the soldiers of side of it, were” formally surrender- ed on the ‘6th- inst.‘ Memphis is on the Mississippi, in the south- the former, have deserted since they left Corinth. The town of Mem- phis, and Fort Pillow on the north west corner of Tennessee, and be» tween 60 and ’70 miles, nearly due west from Corinth, with which it is connected by railroad. It is almost impossible to form a correct estimate of the resources of the Confederates, as our informa- tion on the subject is chiefly de- rived from northern authorities.â€" Their constant retreating is, doubt.- to compete with the vastly superior numbers which their enemies can bring into the field; but they may likewise entertain a hope“ that this system of warfare, will have the ef- fect of wearing out the: patience and exhausting the means of the North. United to these sOurCeS of encour- agement, the possible interference of France and England for the. pur- pose Of restoring peace by an lion- orable cOmpromise, is not yet lost sight of. However, the retreating policy they have hitherto followed, cannot continue much longer. Un- less they are able to make a firm stand, and retrieve their recent losses by a few brilliant victories, their cause at the present time. seems almost hopeless. Mm Ari Extraordinary Marriage. _. ON Tuesday last the inhabitants of Thornhill and neighborhood were in quite a commotion by the arrival of a strange marriage party. It ap- pears that a colony of Gipseys had eneamped near Palmer’s Hotel, Yonge Street, and had made exten- sive arrangements to have a wed- ding on a grand scale. The mar- riage party started from the hotel about 11 o’clock, in their gipsy waggons and other vehicles,headed by a band of music playing lively airs, and proceeded to Thornhill Episcopal Church, where the Rev. E. H. Dewar made Henry and Mary one. The church was com- pletely filled with spectators,drawn together by the grotesque appearâ€" ance of the party. Immediately after the ceremony they proceeded down the street to Palmer’s hotel, (not in the most dccorous manner, but heltcr-Skelter, and the music a good half hour behind) where ex- tensive preparations had been made ‘a poem by circus will visit that town this year. meeting of the circus proprietors was held in New York some time last fall,at whicn it was decided to pass by Galt, and .Han'iil ton, on account of the high license de. mandcd. - ..r<_:,.<fl.-: Ite' .

On Monday last His Excellency .the Governor General prorogucd the Provincial Parliament. Consider- ing the shortness of the session, which has just closed, the amount of business done if we judge from the formidable list of bills to which the Royal assent was given on Monday, has been quite extraordin- ary. No less than ninety-eight new acts have, been placed on the statute- book. these, however, are of-a public character. The separate school bill introduced by Mr. Ottawa has failed, for the present ; but it is to be hoped that the real friends of popular education, have had sufficient warning of the designs of the ultra Catholic party, on our public schools. Although they have not succeeded, their efforts will be again renewed ; and it will reqmre unremitting vigil- ance, and united action, on the part of those who are opposed to grant- ing public money for the support of sectarian education, to defend our school system from the attacks of these, its most formidable and dangerous enemies. - Hm The Magazines.

GREAT FIRE IN DRUMBQ NEARLY THE WHOLE VIILAGE CON- SUMED-â€"â€"0VER 3570,00 WORTH or PROPERTY DESTROYED â€"â€"- 32 BUILDINGS BURNED. (From the Ayr Observer Extra.) AYR, Friday Morning, June 6,1862. . Yesterday afternoon a' most calamitous fire took place in the village of Drumbo,by which nearly the whole village,with the ex- ception of a few hou_ses,was burnt to ashes. The fire, so far as can be ascertained at present, originated'm the back part of the stables belonging to Mr. R. RObinSon’s Central Hotel, about hall-past one o’clock, by, it is supposed, some person carelessly ’ throwmg away a cigar or lighted match in the stable. Thence it proceeded north and south to the Warner House and Ro- binson’s hotel, and spread rapidly in both directions, until the whole of the east side of Wilmot street, as also Mr. R. S. Mann’s store on Oxford street, opposite Mr. Robinson’s hotel,was on fire. By this time the flames had fastened on the old Town Hall, the lower flat of which . was occupied by Mr. Murray as a store- house, and the upper flat as the Reuiew' printing office. On this side of the Street the devouring element spread with equal rapidity, until within half an hour from the time the fire first broke out, the entire business part of the village was “trapped in a sheet of flames, and in two hours’ time the whole was burnt to the ground. Two Fire Companies, one from Paris and the other from Brantford, came up on a special train, but were too late to stay the progress of the conflagration.

The following report was then brought in:-, The Standing Committee on Roads and Bridges have had under their consideration a by-law passed by the Corporation ofthc township of Toronto, for the sale of cer- tain road. allowances to the Corporation of St. Peter’s Church. Also, a by law passed by the Corporation of the township of Toronto for the sale of a certain ori- ginal road allowance to James and William McGath. Also, a petition from J. A. McGlashan, praying the Council not to confirm the aforesaid by-law. In regard to these by-laws the committee recommend a bill to be passed,‘confirming the sale of the road, as Mr. McClashiiii has withdrew his petition, and would. offer no further opposition in the matter. The report was adopted, and the bill read a first time. The Committee On Finance handed in their report and recommended the payment of these amounts, viz 'â€"â€"For general pur- poses, $7,500, Common Schools, $9,922, 50; payment Of local Superintendent, $1,123 :30. The Council went into‘ committee of the Nlmlc, rose and reported the adoption of the report. The Committee on Education handed in their report, recommending the appoint- ment of Dr. J. \V.

Mr. Graham moved the three months hoist. Mr. Ego explained that he did not ex- pect to succeed in keeping the Bill from being passed, but he desired to take the step he had in order to record his protest against the. settlement.
