Everything appears to be quiet there. From Vicksburg, Port Hudson or Charles- tonwe are equally devoid of intelligence, which would imply that no movements of any conse- quence are progressing at these points. Governor Johnson, of Tennessee, has been autho- rized to raise twenty-five thousand troops for spe- cial service in the eastern part of the State. Great excitement existed in Nashville yesterday by rumors of an attack by the rebels under Van Dorn; but there does not seem to be any eonfir- mation of them. A serious riot occurred at a Union meeting in Brown county, Indiana, on Saturday, by which one man lest his life. It appears that a few members of the Knights of the Golden Circle made a raid uponthe meeting, armed with guns and revolvers, and hada melee. They were arrested by the po- lice, one of them, a Mr. Lonis Prosser, being se- verely wounded. Another affair of the same kind Occurred at Danville, Indiana, the same day, in which one maa was mortally wounded and several others less seriously. Indiana appears to be the headquarters of the belligerent portion of the Knights. Our news from Newhern, N. C., is up to the night of the 16th inst., and comes by the United States transport Ella 8. Terry, which arrived here last night. Our correspondence from Newbern gives a very detailed account of all the affairs which have recently transpired in that vicinity. In running the blockade General Foster had some tough work to go through. The Escort, on which’ he was, was fired upon two hundred times, and received eighteen shots which passed through her. The damage suffered by her pilot and crew has already been reported. The feat performed by this transport is worthy of all commendation. Without any armament she ran the fire of the rebel batteries twice—the first time in conveying the Fifth Rhode Island rogiment up the river, and the second time in bringing General Foster down in open daylight. By the arrival of the bark J. W. Andrews at this port yesterday we have some further particu- lara of the firing into the British gunboat Cygnet, by one of our gunboats, in the Bahama channel on the 4th instant. It turns out that'it was the Con- necticut, and not the Vanderbilt, as formerly re- ported which mistook the Cygnet for the Alwbama, and gave her a shot. The captain of the British vessel went on board the Connecticut after the af- fair, and the whole thing was amicably arranged. Capt. Hardy, of the bark Andrews, reports these facts as communicated to him by the commander of the Cygnet, who boarded his vessel on the 6th inst. while on his voyage from Neuvitas. We publish to-day @ letter from Gen. Corcoran relative to the late unfortunate collision at Suf- folk, which terminated in the death of Lieutenant Colonel Kimball. The General gives a fall state- ment of the occurrence, and alleges that Lieuten- aut Colonel Kimball was not on duty at the time, and was not justified in violently attempting to arrest the progress of his commanding officer, who was in the performance of his duty, in visit- ing the outposts. General Corcoron, while regret- ting the disaster, states that the attack made upon him rendered the action which he took an impera- tive necessity. MISCELLANEOUS NEWS. The Mayor and Common Council of Baltimore are expected in this city to-day to join in the celebration of the Loyal League of Union Citizens. Yesterday was another beautiful Sunday, like its immediate predecessor. The morning opened as warm and mellow as a day in midsummer, and as noon approached, the rays of the sun diffused such a pleasing degree of heat that windows and doors were cast wide open, to let in a stream of the pure, genial atmosphere, while thousands sauntered into the open air, eager to avail themselves of the eplendid opportunities for a mild exercise. There wero few stay-at-homes yesterday. In the after- noon everybody seemed to be out in the streets, and the city altogether wore a very lively and pleasant appearance, The members composing the New York Metho- dist Episcopal Conference reassembled on Satur- day, and, after transacting considerd@ble routine business, the report of the Committee on the State of the Country, declaring the Southem rebellion unparalleled in wickedness, their uncompromising sad unconditional loyalty to the cause of the Union, their abhorrence of slavery, and their hear- ty concurrence in President Lincoln's Exancipa- tion Proclamation, was submitted and ananimous- ly approved, many .of the members giving ex. pression to their loyalty ina boisterous manner, which was promptly ‘checked by Bishop Scott. After some further business, the Conference ad- journed to this morning. Pursuant te previous arrangements, a large occting of the friends of Poland was held at the Steuben House yesterday, for the purpose taking measures to aid the Polish nation in their present struggle. Permanent officers were elected, anda resolution passed authorizing them to form an international committee and to call an interna- | tional mass meeting at the Cooper Institute, which will be held at an early day. The meeting was addressed in enthusiastic terms in French and German, and much sympathy expressed for op- pressed Poland. General Sigel, who was at one time in the house, but called away by business, was elected an honorary member of the com- mittee. Martin Braith, a shoemaker, residing at No. 48 Grand street, committed suicide yesterday by cutting his throat with arazor. No cause is as- signed for the commission of the rash act. Ed- ward Moran was arrested on a charge of having, on the 5th of July last, caused the @eath of Mile Kearns, by kicking her downa flight of stairs, at No, 93 Baxter street. The accused has been ab- sent from the city ever since the night of the murder, but, returning on Saturday night, was re- cognized by officer Jourdan, and locked up, to await the action of the Coroner. The American silver question appears to be still agitating the people of Canada. The subject is now before Parliament, where it has been propos- ed to make it a legal tender. The Connecticut river, on Saturday, was twenty- one feet above low water mark. The stock market on Saturday was irregular and dull; but as a geveral rule prices were sustained, and in some instances higher quotations were established. Wo refer to our table in the money article for particulars. Gold was dull and weak, and sold down to151. Exchange was firmer, and closed in demand at 166% 8166. Money ‘was extremely easy; everybody wanted to lend money at five per cent. The cotton market was extremely dull and heavy on Saturday, middiiogs olosing at 663¢c. a 66c. There were very moderate transactions in breadstuffs, with rather more activity i the leading hog products, prices of which were tending downward. In the grocery line su- gars and molasses sold freely, and a liberal business was reported in East India rice, at buoyant rates. Hay was saleable and very firm. Tallow and whiskey were de- Pressed aud declining. The freight market was quiet, without any remarkable change in quotations. The Seizure of th: terhoff—Important Decision of the British Law Officers. In another column will be found an import- ant communication from the British Foreign Office, announcing the conclusions of the law officers of the Crown in the Peterhoff case. They coincide with the views taken of the sei- zure of the vessel on this side. It will be recol- lected that when the Trent was arrested on her voyage by Captain Wilkes the argument urged against that proceeding by the British law authorities was, not that the stoppage of the vessel was in itself illegal, but that it was ren- dered so by non-compliance with the formalities prescribed by international law. They con- tended that she should have been taken before ® prize court and adjudicated upon, like any other capture, leaving the case open to such reclamation on the part of the British govern- ment as the damage proved to have been inflict- ed might warrant. The Opinion of her Majesty’s legal advisers in the Peterhoff case harmonizes with this decision. After showing what consti- tutes an unlawful capture, and what would jus- tify the interference of the Queen’s government without the delay of proceedings in a ‘prize court, they proceed to say that they cannot, without violating the rules of international law, claim for British vessels navigating between Great Britain and Mexican porte any general exemption from the belligerent right of visita- tion by United States cruisers, nor can they act upon the general assumption that such vessels may not 80 conduct themselves as to render their capture lawful and justifiable. In view of the fact that deceptive papers and a simulated des- tination have been frequently employed by British vessels to enable them to break the. blockade and carry articles contraband of war to the Confederates, the situation of the ports of Mexico in reference to the Confederate States is such as to give a color to the allegations under which the Peterhoff was seized. It being the right of the belligerent to capture all ves- sels reasonably suspected of either of the above transgressions of international law, her Majes- ty’s government declines to withdraw the case from the consideration of the prize court. There will be time enough for it to interfere should the evidence prove the seizure to have been unjustifiable and redress be refused. By this decision the questions at issue in re- gard to this vessel become greatly simplified, and they are freed from the extraneous and irritating considerations with which it has been Sought to invest them. The case comes before our courts to-morrow, and it will no doubt re- ceive a thoroughly searching and. impartial in- vestigation. We do not look upon it as probe- ble that the vessel will be condemned, as the elaim for exemption from search of the mail bags found on board, and which afford the only evidence of the true objects of her voy- age, will, in all likelihood, be allowed under the rule of law which protects from seisure the de- spatches of friendly governments. The case, therefore, may now be considered as divested of all features of a doubtful or dan- gerous character. The British government has evinced a promptness in dispelling the appre- hensions caused by it which offers a marked contrast to its previous acts. We attribute this not to its sense of justice or to any improved feeling towards us, but to the conviction which is daily forcing itself upon it that the issues which are being thus constantly raised in refe- rence to the blockade are going to affect mate- rially its own interests and safety in the future. The power and consideration of England among nations depend entirely upon her navy. Anything, therefore, that tends to restrict or impair that power, through the operation of precedents, is calculated to alarm her suscep- tibilities. The readiness with which she admitted the efficiency of our blockade, although the rebellion has been mainly sustained by British violations of it, was dictated entirely by the conviction that a contrary course would weaken her in the event of a war with us. She is fully aware that, with a navy even twice as powerful as that which she at present possesses, it would not be possible for ber to hermetically seal up our ports. If proof of this were wanting it would be found in the fact that the day after the recent attack by our iron-clads on Charles- ton one or two Anglo-rebel steamers success- fully ran the blockade there. It would be well if a similar conviction in | reference to the prespective dangers of the course which it is pursuing, in conniving at the construction of rebel privateers in its ports, could be brought home to the English govern- ment. There is nothing which is more fraught with peril to Great Britain than this underhand and indefensible policy. By retaliation on our part, in the event of a European war, her naval strength could be crippled and her commerce ruined.

And so we thought the other morning, in a charming walk among the hills of the Hudson, that, after a long and gloomy winter, the return of the genial akies of spring might be accepted as the harbinger of happier days soon to come. Indeed we think the day has already arrived when the war and Wall street, the Union Leagues and the Opera, may all go on swimmingly together. How goes the war? What is the prospect? sical world each moves*in fte own orbit, as Mars and Venus revolve around the sun. The elements of the musical world, which is the werld of fashion and beauty, will repair to the Academy, satisfied that thus they will not only secure the Opera, but the proceedings of the Union League, over their omelet, in the morn-' ing papers, infinitely better than at the meeting itself, in the midat of a countless multitude. Furthermore, the Opera this evening is that strange Italian story, located ia Boston, “Un Ballo in Maschera,” and the leading character is filled by that superb singer and actor, Mazzo- Jeni.

The Opera to-night sup- | beart of the rebellion. plies this historical deficiency. Another of the Greetey’s Navale Srratecy.—We see in one or two newspapers some abuse of Admiral Dupont for not reducing Charleston in the late attack with his iron-clads. We think that the gallant Admiral did very well indeed with the means at his command; but the great mistake he made—for be did make a mistake, and only one—was in not adopting Greeley’s naval stra- tegy for the reduction of that rebel stronghold. In order, however, that Admiral Dupont may not make a similar blunder in his future opera- tions, we herewith subjoin the lucid ideas of Massa Greeley:— Tam satisfied that — vessels one of them be under fre 6 8 time, and she choosing Reggae soy ogee Pop Mg eg she pure under to that oe replace ber on shot.

Is it not clear an aria from Signor Bellini, in preference to a that Greeley is the man for Welles’ old shoes in war speech from Mr. James T. Brady, who | the Navy Department? knows nothing about war? So we might say that the devotee of music will choose this evening rather to,hear the singing of Mademoi- selle Sulzer than the oratory of Rafael ‘Von Gtrnsback; or rather the exquisite Italian of Signor Coletti than the dreary legal plati- tudes of Lyman Tremain. By the way, the quaint historian Carlyle, after hearing Coletti, Tegretted that a man of such capabilities, in- stead of wasting his lungs upon the doleful intrigues of the Italian Opera, had not devoted his powers to the soul exalting Psalms of King David. We dare say, however, that even the hard and cynical Carlyle, if present at the Aca-- demy this evening, would recognize something devoutly beautiful in Mazaoleni’s special scene, “the Garibaldian.” Perfect and admirable in every part he has assumed, in this Mazzoleni shows that patriotism is his inspiration. The musical world—the world of beauty and fashion—though it may be represented at the Union League this afternoon, will assem- ble in force at the Academy this even- ing, and make the closing night of its most brilliant season the most brilliant and crowded of all. The Secretary of the Treasury, if still in town, will most probably, like « wise man, seek & welcome hour of relaxation from the cares of State, the war, the Jews and the Tak ANNIveRsARY.—To-day is the second anaiversary of the great uprising of the patriotism and military spirit of the people, when, just two years ago, the whole North arose at the call of the President to protect the flag which bed been fired upon at Fort Sumter. In various places—in Madison square and elsewhere—and by numerous regiments of the early volunteers, the event will be cele- brated to-day. Unfortunately, the government did not comprehend either the spirit of the peo- ple, the nature of our institutions or the task Tequired of them, when this magnificent army was placed at their disposal. Had they done 60 they might have crashed the rebellion with a giant blow in its very incipiency. But it is too late now to accomplish it in this way. The army has been frittered away in fruitless enter- prises, scattered and divided, until, like the bandle of sticks in the fable, its strength is sadly diminished. Still, there is force enough at the command of the government to put down rebellion, and no doubt we shall see it utterly overwhelmed ere long; but it must be dene by more energetic measures than those which would have compassed the same end two years ago.

From his debut in New York until the present time Maz- zoleni has afforded to the lovers of opera unalloyed ploa sure. Gifted with a pure, fresh, sonorous voice, he adds to this qualification the merit of such dramatic force and feeling as are rarely witnessed in operatic performances, He acts his roles ag well as he sings them, is ever graceful and energetic, and conveys in the most admirable manner the spirit of whatever part he may be performing. Those who witnessed his mas- terly acting in “Ione” will bear us out in the assertion that in the scone whore he depicts the effects of the pol- sonous philter administered by Nidia his acting is superb. In the “+Batlo,” which is given to-night, Mazzoloni sings in the second act the famous barcarole with an en/rain, a gayety, which we have never seen equalled. We deem his Vount Richard unsurpassed by any artist here or abroad. ‘Mme. Guerrabella, on this occasion, appears as Amolia, in which role she was received with great applause at the last performance of this opera. ‘Signor Bellini will appoar as Reinhart, in which role he is 80 eminently successful. At the close of the opera Mazzoleni, in appropriate cos- tume—red shirt, &o.—will appear in a seene entitled the “Garibaldian.”” It is greatly to be regretted that the unavoidable de- parture of Mme. Medori brings Mr. Maretzek's grand operatic season to a premature close. The admirable per- formances of his talonted troupe were drawing immense houses, and be would, beyond ali doubt, have had an un- precodented success could he have kept the Acadsmy of Music open. GOTTSOHALR'S CONCERTS. ‘The lovers of music will be sorry to hear that this talented artist, after one more grand concert, which takes Place this evening at Irving Hall, will bring to a close the first sories of his performances. The matinee on Saturday wasa most brilliant and successful affair, tho great pianist receiving, as agual, immense applause. We lack space to meution in detail the performance of the artiste who assisted Mr. Gottschalk. They were all duly applauded. GERMAN OPERA. On Thursday evening Manager Anschutz gives at the Academy of Music an operatic performance. We are as- sured that on Monday next Nicolai’s celebrated comic opera, ‘The Merry Wives of Windsor,” will be given at the Academy of Music by the German opera troupe, for the benefit of Messrs. Quint, Hartmann and Weinlich. ‘The plot of the above named opera is in strict accordance with Shakspere’s comedy. ‘The sixth and last Mason ana Thomas ‘Soiree of Cham. der Music’’ takes place on Tuesday evening at Dodworth’s Hall ‘The Brooklyn Philharmonic Society gave their last con- cert of the season on Saturday evening. The Academy Of Music wag, as usual, crowded to excess. Mme. Orto- Jani, Brignoli and Signor Bellini were the vocalists of the evening, and were eminently success‘ul in their efforts. ‘They were enthusiastically applauded. The whole eflair ‘was most successful. The Parke—Another Fine Sunday.
