Russell's Second letter on the Manassas battle. --Although Mr. Russell's second letter to the London Times on the Federal defeat at Manassas, is unimportant, yet one brief extract possesses significance: "Gen. Scott, whether he disapproved, as it is said, the movement onward or not, was certain that the Confederates would be defeated. * * * * The President, the Secretary of War, and other members of the Government were assembled in the room where the telegraph operator was at work faMr. Russell's second letter to the London Times on the Federal defeat at Manassas, is unimportant, yet one brief extract possesses significance: "Gen. Scott, whether he disapproved, as it is said, the movement onward or not, was certain that the Confederates would be defeated. * * * * The President, the Secretary of War, and other members of the Government were assembled in the room where the telegraph operator was at work far into the night, and as the oracles of fate uncooled from the wires, gloom gathered on their faces, and at last, grave and silent, they retired, leaving hope behind them. It must have been to them a time of anxiety beyond words; but even the highest honors were given to him who in calamity and disaster did not despair of the Republic."

pated by the Canadian: "The English papers are daily engrossed with the American question. "The London Glone denies, by authority, the statement that Admiral Milne has reported that the blockade of the Southern ports is ineffective, and says, no general report on the subject has been officially received." The London Times, in an editorial, shows the financial difficulties which the Washington Government will have to encounter. The Times also publishes another letter from Mr. Russell, which gives a discouraging view of affairs for the North. The King of Sweden has arrived in England on a visit to the Queen. Catherine Hayes is dead. The special agents of the Cotton Supply Association had reached Egypt, and were to have an interview with the Viceroy on the subject of cotton cultivation. Switzerland. Another controversy has sprung up between France and Switzerland relative to the arrest of a French subject on disputed territory. Italy. Pr

Russell's trip to the West. --The London Times' "Own."--It may be remembered that a short time since some of the over-zealous partisans of the Lincoln Government presented a petition to Secretary Seward, praying the expulsion from Lincoln's realm of W. H. Russell, Esq., the correspondent of the London Times. Mr. Seward did not formally notify him to leave the country, but from a paragraph from the Philadelphia Bulletin, of the 23d ult., he appears to have had a hint that his presence in Washington was not desirable. The Bulletin says: How are the American public to construct the sudden departure for the West of that over- estimated individual, William H. Russell, Ll. D., own correspondent of the London Times. Does he really want to shoot grouse on the prairies? Or has he had a hint that his presence was not needed in Washington? Has General McClellan told him that he would have time for shooting in Illinois, and yet be back in season for the next great battle in Easte

A miserable parcenue was present to chronicle the fortune of the battle, but no umpire from foreign people to decide for the foreign mind and ears the value of the victors, judged by the ardor or the science of their action. This same parvenue, Russell, gave brilliant sketches of the English in the Crimea, and over-wronght the gallant charge of the Light Brigade to an extent which has rendered it famous in history and song. But since the truth is out, this "grand charge" is not half as grandBalaklava immortal. And yet it is no derogation from the brilliancy of soldierly devotion displayed in that desperate achievement to say that the first report of the slain in its execution was, as is usual in such cases, greatly exaggerated. Mr. Russell, the London correspondent, in describing it at the time and on the spot, wrote as follows: "It was as much as our heavy cavalry brigade could do to cover the miserable remnants of that band of heroes as they returned to the place they ha

This is esteemed not only a good joke, but the financial part is a valuable contribution to the school fund, which enon his sporting tour, while surrounded by his sportsman's traps, Mr. Russell was welcomed by an old farmer of the vicinity with, "We are glad to see you, Mr. Russell. Hope you will find lots of game. You can have all the game you want, but you must not make game of the American e
