In the House of Commons Mr. Berkeley provoked a discussion on the probability of a war betwoon England and America, and the neod of England being prepared for it. He was backed up by Mr, Peacocke.

Grant’s last grand operation is worthy to stand by the best of his former achievements— not merely in results, for in that respect it sur- passes them all, but in the simplicity and dis- tinctness of its plan, in the admirable arrange- ment of all the details, and in the promptitude and efficiency with which the separate blows that were parts of the plan were sent home.

Bills were passed to confer additidnal powors upon the Arbitration Com mittee of the New York Chamber of Commerce; to imvor- porate the Students’ Ald Association: of the New York Free Academy; gnd to,incorporate the "Longshoramen’s Benovolent Society of Brooklyn. The bills ordered tea: third reading were those to change tho name of Now York Free Academy; to incorporste the Worth Lodge of Froemavons of this city ; and to confer additional powers on the marshals of New York. A general bill for the incorporation of clubs or societies for svetal or recrea- tive purposes was introduced and ordered to a third in this contemplation of the admirable manner in which the master mind had dovetaiied each particular fight into his plan, and made aif serve the common and splendid purpose, which, from the commencement, was the utter destruction of Lee's army. On Wednesday, March 29, Sheridan mowed out trom Grant’s ‘ines toward Dinwiddie Court House. Lee apprehended at once another movement of Grant’s le‘i.

Captain Albert League, of the steamer Harriet Deford, whioh plies between this port and various lundings om the Patuxent river, reached this city this morning, and, with several passongers arriving the previous night, givos information of an act of piracy somewhat similar in ciroumstances to that of the St. Nicholas piracy tn: the summer of 1861. - ‘They state that on Twesday afternoon, while the steamer was lying at the whaef at Fair Havon, Cherring Bay, about twenty-seven rebels, disguised and claiming to be refugees, who came up the Patuxent in boats the previous afternoon, appeared on board, and shortly after throw off their disguise, ‘They dotainod the engineer and firemen, whom they compelled to steam up, and then started down the river, but shortly after roturnod’ and permitted the passengers to land at Fair Haven. ‘With several of tho latter hats were exchanged, and some” money taken belonging to the steamer. There were » number of negroes on board, whom they detained, stat- ing that it was their intention to carry'thom to the West Indios.

Additional very interesting details regarding the oecu- pation and appearance of Petersburg are given by one of our correspondents, Before leaving the rebels set fire to the public stores, anda few houses caught from these; but the conflagration was s trifling affair compared to that of Richmond. The sational troops wore marching through the city during the greater part of Monday, and preserved the most exoolient order and discipline, being guilty of woarooly any pillaging or straggling. They were (welcomed with frantic joy by the colored people. Only ‘vrigade remained in the city, all the others pushing as rapidly an possible and joining in the pursuit the retreating rebels. While in the town General ¢ was an object of great interest to the inhabitants, crowded around to got a sight of him. A Union Yowspaper, called Grant's Petersburg Progress, was insued on Monday evening, the same day that the national foroes took possession of the place. Prosident Linooln, as announced in yesterday's Hanatp, visited Richmond on Tuesday. He returned to City Point yesterday. An order was issued from the War Department yester- ay Girocting the removal from Washington and estab lishment in the Inte rebel capital of the military examin. ing board, of which Gonoral Casey Is president, Besides the duties which this board has heretofore been por forming, it is to give particular attention to tho recruit. ing of colored troops in Richmond and vicinity. Other army officers are also to proceed to Richmond to assist in the mustering in of this class of recruits.

General Mejia assures Com- mander Emmons that Americans in Matamoros shall re- coive the same consideration and protection as persons of other foreign nationalities.

Comparatively fow of the latter, however, were held, the mort of those pre- senting themselves being such as were clearly exempt. A number of volunteers were mustered in both at the provost marshals’ offices and at pr. Blyut '* headquarters, and, as there is now plenty of money, both State and county, to pay the bounties to all who prosent them. selves, the prospect for an indefinite portponement of further drafting in the city is Fory good. Secretary Seward was thrown from bis carriage last evening, and had one arm broken and his face much Druiaed; but his injnries are not considered dangerous Tho cltizens of Brookivn celebrated the sienal victo sweeping down the reverse of the rebel lines, scattering their defenders pellmell and cap- taring everything. That appeared to be the prime danger to guard against, and more force went that way. On Saturday night also, at midnight, a @emonstration was made on the Petersburg front by our troops, and it was so obviously a demonstration that it no doubt confirmed Lee in the impression that the real battle of the morrow was to be where Sheridan was—away on his right, By daylight on Sunday, therefore, Lee had sent towards bis right every man that could possibly be spared from his lines, and at that hour his lines were assaulted in three different places by as many different corps and pierced in every place. The Sixth corps went through first at a point about opposite the western ex- tremity of Petersburg, the Twenty-fourth a little way further west, and the Ninth corps further east, near to the Jerusalem plank road, ac- tually capturing one of the largest forte in the Petersburg defences. The success of the Sixth corps cut off the troops that were not in Pe- tersburg; and, as that place was supposed to be their pivot of manceuvre—as it was supposed they could not cross the Appomattox except through the city—their capture seemed certain, since they were hemmed in between Sheridan, the Sixth corps and the river. But they found means to cross the river, and thus a large body of men slipped through our fingers. But much as the snecess of the Sixth and Twenty-fourth corps seemed to promise in that respect, the success of the Ninth corps ap- peared to promise hardly less; for the posses sion of Fort Mahone rendered it for a short time probable that no organized part of the unnecessarily risking the lives of the men who momber of Englee- Company No. 95, a,peinter by profes- suffered from. that calamity by permitting them | sion, and is the-publisher of Wilke piri’, Ho was an to remain upon those horrible traps—the gar- | executive arm,of the Draper organization in the late cam- enemy then in Petersburg could get away.

We trust, therefore, that the {nvestigation now in progress will result in a very positive re- commendation that those gardens should be removed. We believe that this is not the first time that the pressure of six feet of earth, with its additional weight of shrubbery, has forced in the roots of those buildings, though, fortu- nately, never before at so severe a cost of human life. Repet Preatica, Crvmsmrs—Notice to Eno- LaNpD.—On Monday last, when called out at the State Department to speak to the rejoicing peo- ple of Washington on the full of Richmond, Mr. Seward said he was closing up his Buro- pean despatches; and he mentioned some things that he intended to say for the information of the Powers and potentates of the Old World. There is one thing, however, upon which he was silent in his speech, but which we hope he did not forget in his despatches—viz: that ‘with the expulsion from their chosen capital of the army and authorities of the “so-called Confederate States,” that demolished concern ceases to have “a local habitation or # name;” and that consequently the “bolligoreat righta’ | paigns.
