We are overwhelmed with advertisements. With our large circulation in view, advertisers, who are thus preaging upon our columns, will find it to their advantage, as well as ours, to hand in their ‘business notices before nine o'clockin the evening. Time, after sunset, is of the wtmost consequence in & newspaper office. Prosperity of the Country—Prosperity of the Herald. Weare compelled to resume to-day, and will probably have to continue constantly, the publica- tion of the triple sheet, which, previous to the out- break of the rebellion, was @ matter of euch fre- quent necessity with ua. Thg growth of our ciren- lation, caused by the unexampled and contineally increasing prosperity of the country; the demands made on our space by the business wants of the community, and the exigencies of our position as he leading political journal, would otherwise of that time have precluded the possibility of our keeping pace with what was expected of us. discouragement and depression caused by the war The | NEW YORK HERALD, SATURDAY, THE SITUATION. ‘The latest nows from the Vicksburg ead Yasoo oxpeditions resches us from Cairo last night. It appears that on last Saturday night another barge, containing one thousand bushels of coal, floated Past the batterios at Vicksburg safely, for the uso of Admiral Farragut’ fleet. We have it on the autherity of the Memphis Bul- letin of Weduesday, that three of Admiral Porter's gunboats have reached the Yazoo river by the Sunflower route and reached Greenwood, The same journal saya that dur forces above Greenwood had abandoned the undertaking to force 4 passage, and were returning, when they met General Quimby’s division en route to roin- force them. A confereace was had, the result of which is unknown, but & is thought that in coase- quence of the success af the new route the whole force would return. The rebel accounts of affaira in the Southwest conflict somewhat with ours. Richmond papers of the 26th say that the Hartford and Mononga- * | tela wero allowed to approach within four hundred yards of the rebel batteries at Grand Gulf, when they opened fire upon them, the vessels replying with broadsides several tines. A dozen shots struck the vessels. Parties were seen carrying the wounded below. fhe Natchea Courier says the Hartford, with Admiral Farragut on board, anchored in frant of that city on Tuesday after- noon, the 16th, and sent a small boat with a @ag of truce ashore, with » note addressed tw the Mayor, stating that if the United States gunboats were fired upon by the people of Natchez or by guerillas he would bombard the city. The Hart- | ford remained all night and left with the Monon- gahela in the morning. The Richmond Sentinel of the 24th, in giving their account of the situation in the Southwest, says:—‘‘The last papers from the United States are jubilant over false reports of the success of the Yazoo expedition. Our awn reports are several days later than theirs, and Fgpreseht the expedition as thoroughly whipped, and in full re- treat by the way they came, Thus far the enemy has utterly failed in every one of his late moves: Farragut was whipped at Port Hudson; Banks broke down before he got there, and fell back without a fight; the Yazoo Pass expedition ends in chastisement and fight; at Vicksburg thay are drowned out." The Examiner of the same date has an @npres- sive article on the interests and duties of the Northwest in this struggle. Of course it conceives them to be entirely with the Southern confederacy, and suggests that all inducements to gain the co, operation of that section ‘‘as alluring as possible” should be held out. The rebel papers state that General Longstrect is rapidly advancing into Kentucky. The robol force now in the State under General Pegram is be- ‘lieved to be shout 6,000. Cluke’s gucrillas still hover around Mount Sterling. Over 260 of his men have been captured since Sunday. The Union Wagon trains, stores and camp equipage from Danville and Richmond have reached Lexington in Vinoes, oa the oocasion, and its publication is said fe have produced # prodigious effect, In it he alludes to the power of their oppressors, their massaores, pillages and confiagrations; lame nts the want of o central power in Poland capable of directing the forces of the people; but yet ho is ever hopeful of the issue of the struggle now un- dertaken. He will surrender, he adda, the power of dictator to the representatives of the people as soon as“ the yoke of the Muscovite is shaken off.” Thg military’and civil administrations of Poland - had been organized by the Dictator, Prince Metternioh, Austrian Minister tn Paris, was about to, proceed to Vienna, to consult the Empe- roron the Polish queation, and the Secretey of the Prussian Legation had been despatched from Paris to Berlin on a similar mission to the King of Prussia, The Czar of Russia, in reply to Napo- leon’s letter, refused, to make any concessions to Poland before the inaurgents had surrendered un- conditionally. It is said that the reduction of the rate of discount of the Bank of France was caused by @ considerable influx ‘of gold from America. The British government have officially endcavored toinduce the King of Dahomey to abolish the rite of “human sacrifices,” He replied that if he did 80 he would be poisoned dy his subjects, but if at all possible he would do so, The Prince of Wales and his wife remained at Osborne, on the Isle of Wight. During the illu- minations in London some seven persons lost their lives, and over one hundred others had limbs broken, ‘The crowd was unruly and the confusion wry great. * THE LEGISLATURE. A number of bills were passed in the State Senate yesterday; but the majority of them were local ones. ‘The only ones of much interest to our readers wore those to increase the school fund al- lowance for each pupil.in the public schools of this city from four to five dollars and repealing the act relative to our school libraries. A petition ‘was presented from the New York Board of Coua- cilmen praying for the passage of the bill extend. ing the terms of office of the heads of our city de- partments to four years. The Broudway Railroad Dill was again under consideration in the evening seasion. A motion to restrict the fare to three cents was defeated. An amendment was adopted providing that the company may declare a divi- dend of ten per cent, retain ten per cent of the surplus profits for restocking and repairing the road, and devote the remainder to the Central Park. The bill was then laid over. In the Assembly the Gold bill was passed. The | object of this bill isto interfere with the specula- tions in gold, by waking it illegal for the banks or | individuals to loan on deposits of gold to an amount greater than the gold deposited. The bill passed by seventy-four affirmative votes to thirty- one in the negative. The bills incorporating the Dry Goods, Clerks’ Early Closing Association of New Yopk and to prevent the use of chain bridges at ferry landings were also passed. A bill was in- troduced to allow railroad companies to employ special police forces. At yesterday's session of | the Callicot investigating committce, that body finally got fairly to work, after having had con- siderable difficulty in settling upon the limits to be given to the scope and character of the testimony. One witness was examined, whose testimony mere- ly had reference to the payment by Mr. Callicot of certain moneys owed by him -to another person, The examination of witnesses will be continued ta-day. MISCELLANEOUS NEWS. William Thompson, master of the rebel schooner David Crockett, which was captured while running the blockade at Galveston, Texas, was released yesterday from Fort Lafayette, by order of the Secretary of the Navy. ‘ The following is the vote in the First district of | safety. Among the prisoners taken are two ma- jors—one a paymaster—with $15,000 in Confede- rate money. The rebels were reported to have re- treated from Dafiville, as the news received in Louisville yesterday would indicate; but in the ab- H sence of telegraphic news some doubt was thrown | upon the rumor, and the arrival of later intelli- | gence proves the report untrue.

They have had the use of it for fifteon years, and they ought to be satisfied. If the directory bave any doubt about the propriety of aurrendering thia fund for the relief of the Irish poor, let them call public ‘meeting of the subscribers and take their Opinion on the aubject. It is nsanifest the committee have no right to hold the money, the object for which it was subscribed—namely, to aid the revolutionary movoment in Ireland in 1848—hbaving passed away, and another op- portunity being too distant and uncertain to warrant the retention of the fund for such a purpose. The great Irish orator and stntes- man, Edmund Burke, said that al! political re- forms began with the stomach. Let the di- rectory, therefore, begin with revolutionizing the digostive organs of the Celtic population. Curopean Intervention—Seorctary Sew- ard Vindicated—W hat is Demanded of President Lincoln. . In our European advices by the Etna we are informed that French intervention in our affairs has received # qui¢tus in @ recent despatch from M. Drouyn de Lhuys to M. Mercier, the French Minister at Washington, in answer to Mr. Seward’s memorable uote rejecting the proposition of France for a peace conference in some neutral country between representa- tives from the two parties involved tm our pre-_ sent domestic war. The substance of said de- spatch is, that France withdraws from all fur- ther offers of mediation—a course which she has adopted with -regret—and assumes henceforth the part’of a simple spectator in the contest, confining herself to following merely the course of events. Thus the last rag af « cloud in the way of European intervention in the matter of this war is dissolved into thin air; for this with» drawal of France is tantamount to a proclama- tion of European neutrality. Thus the masterly diplomacy of our sagacious Secretary of State is amply vindicated. by its good results. He has duly maintained the honor and dignity of the governmeat abroad throughout the delicate and difficttlt werk which he has accomplished of -disegtangling us from various threatened forms of Europear aid and comfort to the rebellion, and he may now serenely contemplate the baffled machinations of the miserable faction at Washington which has sought to displace and disgrace him from the beginning. Of all the members of Presi- dent Lincoln’s Cabinet Mr. Seward has had the most difficult task asaigned him; and he is, perhaps, the only member of the Cabing who has discharged his duties with complete. success. The first essential to this success wae, of course, the confidence of the Presidentin his Premier, and, in view of the simple fact that all the hostile efforts of the dominant abolition faction in the republican eamp hate fniled to shake thisvonfidence, we must cancede to the President ‘a good share of sagacity, censistency and steadiness of purpose. But, wheii we come to review the results of the labors of the three other principal members of his Cabinet, we are perplexed with the mys- tery of their retention in office se Tong. Mr. Stanton has certainly proved himself as unfit for the mauagement of the War Office, under a gigantic war establishment, as* Mr. Welles has shown himself to be for the great responsibili- ties of his department. Had the work of each of these departments been managed with any- thing like the skill and ability displayed by the head of the Department of State in his peculiar have been ended a year ago. In the next place, had Mr. Secretary Chase been equal to the vast financial requirements of his position, we should have escaped the recent panics and fhictua- tions between gold and goverument paper in Wall street, and all their attendant evils to the community at large. The opinion is also very widely entertained that had Mr. Chase devoted more of his attention to his legitimate business, and less to the political intrigues and schemes of the radical, abolition faction, the resnits would lave been much better for himself, the goverament-and the great causg of the Union, President Lincoln has doubtless for some time been fully sensible of the prevailing pah> lic sentiment of the loyal States in reference to his Cabinet; bat, as it appears that he expects, wubject in the columas of the Haars; and now, that a move is being made in the right direc tion, we are confident that it will meet the ap- Proval of the vast majority of the people of this city, but particularly of that class engaged in mercantile and ahipping pursuits. The report, which is well worth an attentive perusal, refers, In general terms of approval, to a plaw. proposed in 1836 by the Committee on Wharves, which was to extend a stone island or quay from the Battery as far northwardly up the Hudson river as the interests of the city should, from time to time, require, with open- ings to admit of the ingress and ogress of ves- sels, and with piers extending to it from the mainland; and thata similar plan should be adopted for the Kast river, from Fourteenth street up. The present roport recognizes that thia is not the time to enter upon a work of auch magnitude and cost, but simply suggests the adoption of a resolution requiring the Street Commissioner to advertise and receive plana and designs for the erection of two stone piers--one on the east and one on the west side af the olty—the designs to be mace with a view to the adoption of a comprehensive pian for the erection of a stone pier; bulkhead or break- water all around the city, and to be submitted to the Common Council for thelr action. This subject will doubtless attract, av it deserves, the atiention of all interested in the gréstness and prosperity of New York. The Orime and Shame of the Rebels. , We have before us a copy of the “Register of the Commissioned and Warrant Officers of the Navy of the Confederate States to January 1, 1863,” published at Richmond by Macfarlane & Ferguson. How we got it is our enterprize. Sufficient for our readers to ‘know that itis a perfect imitatign of the United Statea Navy Register, with this rence, that’ ours is blue and tbelra is yellow,wrter the French and after the yellow cover literature, whose moral cha- racter is in close affinity with that of the litera- ture of the confederasy. It is a record of the erime and shame of the officers of what is now cilled the Confederate navy. ‘The officers in “general military command” rank from “admiral down to “master’s mate” (if warranted), and “officers restricted in their right to command” are from “surgeon” to “gailmaker.” Under the head of “The Organi- zation of the Navy Department” we have lista of names from S. R. Mallory, Secretary, dowa- -wards, including their duties, place of birth, from what State they hail as citizens, the sala- ries, the “office of orders and detail,” “office of erdnance and detail,” “office of ord- “office of pro- “office of mance and hydrograpby,” visions and clothing” and medicine and surgery” The tables oum- ptising the name of the admiral, names of captains, “captains for the war,” commandérs and “commanders. for the war,” firstand se cond Heutenants, and “lleutenaats for the war,” midshipmen, engineers, surgeons, <0., occupy twenty-two pages of the book, and the list looks very formidable on paper. Opposite each name is the date of “the ‘original entry into the ser- vice of the United States Navy” snd the date of “the original entry into service of the Confede- rate States Navy,” the date of present com- mission, the amount of “sea service and shore service” ia the United States Navy and in the Confederate States Navy respectively. Thus they place on record their own dis- grace as having traitorously deseried the flag of the government which educated them for the navy and gave them commissions, and eurolled themselves in the service of a rebel govern- ment that has broken up the Union under which the cougtry has prospered and made it- self respected by all nations for three-quarters ofacentury. But the rebel navy is, after all, only a navy on paper; for under the head of braved the battle aad the breeze. But, a5 we have already said, the Confederate Navy is @ sham. It consists of a department and a long liat of officers of all grades; but where are thd shipd? Echo answers, “Where?” But look at the list in another part of thie morning’s paper. There it stands a record of shame against these men through all time to come. President Linco! Visit to New York— Opening of the Spring Campaigas. It is currently reported that President Lincola * will visit New York shortly, We hope that this repoft is well founded. Tho President bas hag very hard work at Washiagton with the hordes of office seekers, and contractom, and Congress- men, and other guch troublesome fellows, and really needs relaxation. Let him come on, then, and bring Mrs. Lincoln and Secretary Seward along with him. Secretaries Chase and , Welles have just been here, and were received and treated according to their.deserts. Conse- quently they need not come again at present. Sectetaey SiRatoe had better be left behind; for , if he is caught outside of Washington he will probably be arrested, indicted and sent to prison. There are warrants issued against him already, we understand. The other Seoretarios ; are of no importance, and might as well remain where they are and attend te their departments. The President, Mrs. Lincolg and Mr. Seward will, meet with @ splendid reception in News York, and will undoubtedly enjoy thempelves wonderfully. . ‘ It is no joke to be President during such. a orisis as this, and Mr. Lin- coln must feel that he requires smuse- ment. “All work and no play makes, Jack a dull boy,” says the ancient proverb. Mrs. Lincoln has lsbored quite as well ia her graceful, benevolent, womanly way as Mr. Lia~ cola has in his, and » change of scene and society will reinvigorate her. Secretary Seward, is the hardest worker in the Cabicet, and the most successful, and the President should give him a holiday.
