haa'i^^^^Oipe Race, bringing Liverpool Tble correspondence in relation to tbe ship Emily St. Pierre bee been published, from which, it appears that Adams, the Yankee Minister, had not receded from the position first I assumed by him. In the British House of Lords, Lord Brough* em said that he deplored the strife in America and its consequences to Europe. He thought ' it impossible, however, for England to interfere, but expressed the opinion that the Americans would see the suicidal character of the struggle, and come to nr. amicable arrangement "before they entirely lost, as a nation* the respect and affection of Europe. In the House of Commons^ Lord Palmorston said that interference in the American war J now conid only aggravate matters. Both England and Prance, ho added, would be delighted to take mediatory steps, and, when a fitting opportunity arises, he should look upon it both as a duty and a pleasure. mi a no jc<ngiisii journals arc strenuously urging upon their Government the necessity of taking steps to put a speedy end to the war. Dreadful Accident at Fort Moultrie.? Our community will be deeply pained to learn that yesterday afternoon, during the progress of some experiments in artillery practice at Fort Moultrie, a 3'2-pounder, which hud been rifled and "bauded," and with which the troops were firing an iron-plated target, burst with terrible results to the officers and soldiers standng near. Lieut. Col. Thomas M. Wagner was very severely v/ounded in the thigh and ankle. Lieut. T. Lamar Wardlaw was also severely i ? V'UIIUVU. Capt. Valentine and s4iue other officers were wounded. Private Hugh Benson was killed. Privates J. Hudson, M. McDaniel, G. W. Adams and C. C. Fleming were wounded. We understand that Brig. Gen. W. D. Smith was present at the time the explosion took place. Dr. Ogier waa soon in attendance upon the wounded.?Mercury of Wednesday* Effect OF THE Nrws nv rmr MnoTn ? I The news of McClellan's defeat has caused the greatest excitement in the North. The Herald says: Tlio financial credit of tho country has received a shock from the disasters to McClellan's army from which it will not easily recover. Previous to his being driven back from his position before Richmond, Government stocks were at an unexampled premium, and the credit of the country never stood so high. Within a week all this has been changed, and uow government stocks exhibit more unsteadiness than any other class of public sccuritine The excitement now is but the mere muttering of the storm. Wait until the long lists of killed and wounded in the recent battles before Richmoud are published, and the storm will be then at its height. Already the people of Philadelphia hoot Stanton's name in the streets, and declare that no more men will en list while ho remains in office. New York City has suffered quite as much as Philadelphia 1 and shares theso sentiments. Two New York regiments suffered at Bull Run, and the excitement here was fearful. What will it be | when the lists of killed and wounded come in . now ? j Ouu Loss on James' Island.?The follow ing statement gives the latest official figures for 1 the gallant and successful defence made by a sihall band of Confederates against the invading 1 Yankees, on James* Island, on the 16th June. 1 We give the total number of men engaged, 1 and tho total of killed, wounded and missing, ( jrom careful revision and official returns : 1 j Number Killed, Wounded Men. and Missing. 1 Chafloston Batlalion, 80 46 1 Smith's Batalion, 126 30 Louisana Battalion, 200 16 Lamar Artillery, 100 57 Goodlett'a Regiment, 100 17 * i Total, 005 166 y ?? f For Sale^ ?

Her advices afro to tho 1st instant, with telegraphic advices to the 2d?-two days later. The Morning Pott editorially cordially concludes that the masterly Confederate movements in Virginia had compelled immense armies destined for its conquest to case the offensive, and content themselves with uction on the defensive. The city article of the Daily News regards i? * ? uie latest news as portending the most indefinite postponement of peace. In the Houso of Commons, Mr. Hopewood j asked if Government intended to take steps as a mediator. Palmerston e\pressed deep sympathy with the suffering operatives, and eulogized their endurance. Ho wished it was in the power of Government to take steps for their relief; but interference in America now could only aggravate matters. Both England and France would be delighted to take mediatory steps. When a fitting opportunity arose, ho should look upon it both as a duty and a pleasure. After another debate on foriificntinne Government bill was read the second time by 158 to'50. The operatives at Blackburn held a meeting to urge mediation, but overwhelming opposition was shown, and the Government was finally called upon to try and re-establish the confidence of the Southern planters in Lincoln. Pcabody was to have a public banquet given by the Lord Mayor, on being presented with the freedom of the city of London. The marriage of the Princess Alice took place the day the Great Eastern left Liverpool. Again it was asserted that Fersigny will assume the French Ambassadorship at London. The Italian budget passed both Houses of Parliament. Garabaldi, at Palermo, urged the people to concord. - Xew York Money Market. Richmond, July 15.?The New York Herald's money article for July 10, says the excite ment in the gold and exchange markets continues unabated. Gold opened in the morning at 117 1-2, but fell to llo. It then began to rally, and at the second board sold for 100, and closed at that bid. Bills on London 120 1-2. The advance in gold and bills has led to remarkable activity in merchandize. The people are shipping to Europe everything that can be bought. Every one who owes anything to Europe is sending produce to pay the debt.? Others arc shipping on speculation, relying on nrnmlnme nn fli/.ii* ?v/.liniu?A vii viivm vAvunu^u lui Tlic Herald says the advance in bills will nearly annihilate the import trade. The premium on gold is in fart just so much addition to customs duty levied on foreign goods, and as the duties were nearly prohibitory before this, it will render them absolutely so. M^ncy continues fairly active at 5 to 6 per cent. Many capitalists arc distrustful of the future, and decline to part with their funds. United States sixes have declined 11 per cent. The Anaconda "Defunct." The Tribune acknowledges that the great! Anaconda, which was to surround and crush ' out this ''infamous rebellion," is defunct. Ho is right; hear him: Advices from various quarters justify the gratifying belief that that conception of ineffable stupidity, the grand Union "Anaconda," is dc funct. Henceforth, we are confident, the policy of massing our disposable troops into one grand armr and hurling it swiftly upon the j chief strongholds of the rebellion, w ill be successfully adheared to. The Anaconda has :ost us a year's time, one hundred thousand men and and $500,000,000, and its frxiits ire not at all commensurate with the cost. Had it never been conceived, we should have failed ?o take New Orleans and some other ports ]uitc so soon, while we should have ere this utterly extinguisd the rebellion in Virginia, North Carolina and Tennessee. The "Anaconda" makes a present to the ro>cls ot the all but exclusive use of railroads and ebgraphs. It enables the enemy to choose imong cur several army corps that one on vhich he shall precipitate his entire movable orce. It enables him to be uniformly superior it the point of collision, though we have more ind better troops in the field than he has.

McClkllan's Army?Its Present Location.?So far as can bo discovered by observation on the South bank of James river, no important movements have taken place in McClellan's army during the past three or four days. Many of the wagons have disappeared from view, and the tents have been extended np the hank of the river, almost to the very , family mansion at Berkeley. By the scores of the camp fires Tuesday evening, it was generally supposed that the enemy had advanced somewhat from the immediate banks of the different water courses bv xvhioh hr? wn? o< fiivi -J ? ~ almost completely surrounded. It is positively known that heavy reinforcements have reached the Yankee McClellan, and it is believed that his army now numbers nearly or quite $100,000 men. An important movement has been made by a portion of our forces, but the particulars will be known in a few days. The Foreign Element in our Army.? The War Department has published a general order forbidding the reception of unnaturalized citizens in the army. We are glad to see that ; a blow has been given the nefarious traffic in ' substitutes which has been principally carried i on by dirt}' and vagabond foreigners, who, hav. j ing ticketed themselves with certificates ob- ! tained from their Consuls, have made a disgusting market of themselves in Richmond. sAn Act of the Provisional Congress confers , ?1.* -.rc-.-.i - tuv> iiuiivto ci1111 pi iv nvrjivry ui otniiuuril ClllZCIl* ship upon persons of foreign birth in the Confederate army, so far as to extend the protec tion of the government as fully over them as our natives born citizens. This distinction, however, is given to the volunteer and not to the hired Hessian. It is an important object to purge our army of mercenary and foreign elements, and the order of the government referred to above, contemplating, as it does, the purity of our army, will be received with satisfaction by the country.?Richmond Exam iner.
