The Persia, at New York, brings English papers containing a full report of Lord John Russell's reply, in the House of Commons, to Mr. Gregory's question as to "the belligerent rights " of the Confederate States. Although we have already given its main points, we may state that Lord Lyons, the British Minister in Washington, had informed the British Government that, in his opinion, the collection of duties outside of Southern port believe the right of search will be strictly exercised; but we have a right to insist that both the belligerent powers shall respect legitimate merchandize on board neutral vessels. The Southern Commissioners visit Lord John Russell. Mr. Gregory, on Saturday, introduced the three Commissioners from the Southern Confederacy to Lord John Russell. The interview was at Lord John Russell's private residence, and was considered informal. What occurred with regard to the recognition of the

Gregory's Guard; and twenty-five of Capt. McDowell's command, some eighty steps in the rear, also fired. From twelve to fifteen of the Yankees were killed and wounded by this discharge, and Lieutenant Gregory secured the prisoner Capt. McDowell, observing the retreat of the Northern party, thought little handful would have fallen an easy prey. The Northern soldiers fired very badly. Lieut. Gregory was on horseback, and the balls whizzed far above his head. In their retreat, the Yanke

A resolution of the very first importance was submitted by Mr. Conrad, of Frederick, asking an immediate action on an ordinance authorizing the construction of a railroad between Strasburg and Winchester. Our military operations seem now to be converging towards Manassas Junction, and it is highly important that the connection with Winchester should be completed as soon as possible. The company who propose to complete the road ask an advance from the State of an amount equivalent to the duty on the iron, which will be refunded under ample guaranties. Mr. Gregory thought the subject had better lay over at present, and moved an adjournment to 7 ½ A. M., this evening, This was carried, and the Convention ordered a recess until 7 ½ for the purpose of paying their respects in a body to the President of the Confederate States of America.

From Europe. Halifax, June 25,P. M. --The Europe sailed this afternoon, and will be due at Boston to-morrow (Wednesday) evening. In the House of Commons, Mr. Gregory moved the appointment of a select committee to inquire into the circumstances attending the termination of the Galway contract. He charged the British Government with being actuated by an envious spirit towards Ireland. Lord John Russell said that he did not intend to oppose the motion, and trusted that the investigation would be satisfactory. The Times, in an editorial on American affairs and the indignation of the North towards the attitude of England, asserts that the British public have given much sympathy towards the Federal cause, more than it ever gave to the cause of British sovereignly and union in any of its trials.

The Confederate Commissioners. --A New York letter, of July 25th; says: Private advices from London, received yesterday by the steamer New York, say that the Commissioners of the C. S. A. (all three of them) had returned from Paris. Though not countenanced officially, a leading commercial authority hints that the Manchester Cotton Lords were hand in-glove with them. It is also mentioned, as a significant fact, in the same connection, that the vacancy occasioned in the British Cabinet, by the retirement of the Minister of War, is likely to be filled by Mr. Gregory, M. P. from Galway, an individual who has made himself notorious for his unseemly zeal in urging, in the House of Commons, the recognition of the Southern Confederacy.

Rifled cannon and a United States loan as contraband of war. In the House of Commons, on the 29th of July, Mr. Gregory asked whether the First Lord of the Treasury had received any information that goods contraband of war, among other things a battery of artillery, had been conveyed from this country to New York, in the steamship Kangaroo, and that a loan for the United States Government had been placed upon the Stock Exchange?
