Heth's division. This division, after having rendered the most gallant service in the battle of the 4th, in the Wilderness, was thrown into confusion on the morning of the 5th, under the circumstances described by our correspondent, "Sallust," whose letter appeared yesterday.

One Regiment that got out of the Big fight. --A Washington letter dated the 6th inst., says: The 58th regiment Pennsylvania Reserves reached town about midnight last night from the front, having been mustered out of the service in pursuance of an arrangement by which the Government allows the time they were in State service to go to their credit on the three years term; averaging the time the different companies of regiments were mustered into service and mustering each regiment out from the date of the average. The 58th regiment is one of the earliest regiments raised of the Reserves, which comprises fifteen companies.

From Trans-Mississippi. Mobile, May 18. --Warren Adams telegraphs to the Register from the Summit, May 17, that he can learn nothing definite from Banks. He is at Alexandria, unable to get away. On the 11th, 6,000 men landed at Mrs. Ackland's plantation, moving right back on the river to relieve Banks. The True Delta says nothing of Banks, but denies Steele's capture on the authority of members of Congress who left Little Rock on the 25th of April. [Another Dispatch.] Mobile, May 18. --Authentic news received from Brookhaven to-day says that Banks escaped to New Orleans with 5,000 men, and that Alexandria surrendered to Taylor with 8,000 prisoners, 20 guns, 1200 mules and 50 boats, 26 in running order; the rest damaged, but can be repaired.

Additional Foreign news. In the House of Commons, on the 28th, Sir Geo. Grey, in the absence of Lord Palmerston, said, in reply to an inquiry by Mr. Hapwood, that the Government had no intention whatever of proposing a Conference on American affairs, as in that Conference the British Government was quite certain the American Government would not concur. Mr. Peacock called attention to the case of the Tuscaloosa, and criticised the action of the Government in her case. He charged the Government with adopting the views of the Federal agents, and moved a resolution that the instructions contained in the Duke of Newcastle's dispatch of the 4th of November, 1863, to the Governor, of the Cape of Good Hope, which remains still unrevoked, are at variance with the principles of international law. A general debate ensued. The Solicitor General denied that the Tuscaloosa had a right to be treated as a commissioned vessel, and insisted that the Government was bound to regard

t," but a considerable number of members came in and made up a requisite quorum. Finally, the House divided, with the following result: For the resolution, 185, against it, 219. The Government majority of thirty-four was received with loud cheers. The London Morning Herald charges the Government with having planned a "count out." They failed, but the absence of many of the opposition members saved them, in a division, the consure they deserve. In the House of Lords, on the 29th, Earl Derby called attention to the great length of the published correspondence between the Government and Messrs. Laird, relative to the seizure of the rams built by the latter. He insinuated that the Government was, to some extent, actuated by the fact that Mr. Laird was a political opponent. He said that he could have understood the seizure of the rams with a view to the trial of the question of their destination, but to throw upon the owners the onus of proving their innocence was, he

He is about 25 years old, of dark brown color, spare made, about 5 feet 10 inches high, with rather large eyes, and somewhat wild expression of countenance, though generally smiling when spoken to. He was bought in January last of Mr. C. C. Burton, near Petersburg, where his friends and connexions are, and he is probably in the neighborhood of that place. The above reward will be paid for his apprehension and delivery in any jail, or to the agent of the Company, at their mines, or in Richmond. my 12--ts
