Mr. Mallory, and others of the commission they found the steamer ordered to be ready was not yet under stle on shore without loss of time," or of-leaving a disconsolate crowd standing of the wharf," Mr. Mallory explained the reasons which compelled him to the "Drewry," and at the same time orders "Hamly carried out, as directed by the Secretary. Twice, at least, while standing upon the wharf, Mr Mallory asked if his orders had been fully understood, and stated his regrets that he was forced to ins if she were a regular passenger steamer. This true statement of the case will show that Mr Mallory, the Secretary of the Navy, was entirely misrepresented in the item referred to, and that it conveys a raise impression to the public. Instead of doing a discourteous act Mr. Mallory, in the kindness of his heart, went farther than could have been expected under the circumstances. I am conf

exas Telegraph, published we believe at Houston: "Unheard of Ignorance.--We take the following from the report of Mr. Mallory, the well informed and very efficient Secretary of the Confederate States Navy: "On the 1st of January, some of ors for this vessel to attempt any offensive operations." No such paragraph as this ever appeared in any report of Mr. Mallory's, and the Sentinel authoritatively states that Mr. Mallory never made any report upon the subject.--False statements Mr. Mallory never made any report upon the subject.--False statements are not surprising at this day when they multiply so rapidly; but this is quite singular; being an entire forgery put forth in quotation marks, as the exact words of a Chief of one of the Departments! The Sentinel, to show what was the real course of Mr. Mallory, with regard to the Harriet Lane, and that there was no ground whatever, to occasion any feeling against him on the subject, publishes three letters addressed by him to General Magruder.--The first dated January 10, 1863, informs the

kee forgery. The English journals have recently published a document, gotten up by some unprincipled Yankee, which purports to be an official report from Secretary Mallory, of the Navy Department, to the Speaker of the House of Representatives. The name of "Babcock" is substituted for that of Hon. Thos. S Bocock, and the repon signature in the London Times, but a United States journal, in commenting on his letter, reaffirms the authenticity of the report. Under these circumstances, Mr. Mallory addressed a note to the Secretary of State, in which he pronounced the report, from beginning to end, a forgery. The document, however, assumed additional impons, in defence of the course of the Ministry on the subject of Laird's rams, quoted it as authentic. On Mr. Benjamin's attention being called to the subject by Mr. Mallory, he wrote a letter to Mr. Slidell, our Commissioner at Paris, directing him to make an official publication explaining that the report was a gross fabrication.

received the letters were prepared to state, from previous knowledge of his writing, that the criminal letters were in Cuthbert's hand-writing; but the prisoner obviated the necessity of proof by acknowledging that he had written them; but he denied that he contemplated bribing the officers, but said his whole object was to repay them for any trouble they might be at to induce the Government, not to buy the vessels, but to reopen the negotiations concerning them. It was stated informally by one of the witnesses during the examination that Mr. Mallory himself had received a letter from the prisoner offering him a bonus if he would close the contract for the vessels. The Commissioner sent the accused on to the Confederate Court for trial, but signified his willingness to admit him to ball. The penalty for attempting to bribe an officer of the Government is a fine of three times the amount offered as the bribe, and not more than three years imprisonment in the penitentiary,

n the doctrine of secession. A scene of great excitement existed, owing to the words of Mr. Harris, and for that reason he was compelled to take his seat. Mr. Fernando Wood, (N Y,) said the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Long) had declared in his written speech that he would prefer the recognition of the southern Confederacy as an alternative rather than the people of the South should be subjugated and exterminated, and he, (Mr Wood) endorsed this and they could expel him for it. Mr. Mallory. (Ky,) though not agreeing with Mr. Long, regarded the proposition to expel him as extraordinary. He yielded the floor to. Mr. Colfax, who, in order to see in printed form what Mr. Long really had uttered yesterday, moved that the further consideration of the subject be postponed till Monday. This was agreed to unanimously, Mr Washburne. (Iii,) offered a resolution to expel Mr. Harris, of Maryland, for the utterance of treasonable sentiments. Mr. Pendleton, (Ohio,) rose t

, except that he had been last seen to go into a boarding house on the corner of 8th and Marshall streets. Last Saturday morning detective John Reece being in Tappahannock, Essex co., on other business, recognized the absconding debtor of the Ballard House in the person of one of three men who were just in the act of crossing the Rappahannock river, on their way North. Reece stopped the party and spoke to Lugo as Doctor, and asked him for his passport. Lugo produced the passport of Mr. Mallory, Secretary of the Navy, but Recce telling him that that would not answer, took him into custody. Lugo professed astonishment and indignation, and put on a great many grand airs, but all to no purpose. Recce took him to a room in the hotel in the place and searched him, and found on his person charts of Charleston harbor, Wilmington and Richmond and their defences, and maps of all of our rivers between the Rappahannock and Wilmington in which we have torpedoes, with the exact locations o

In the House of Lords, Earl Russell incidentally referred to the spurious report of Mr. Mallory, the Secretary of the Confederate States Navy, and intimated that he was originally led by Mr. Seward to accept the report as genuine.

Seward states that, having made further inquiry, he finds it to have been altogether a forgery." It is no wonder that in the report "A laugh," and "hear, hear," should have followed this statement. It is not surprising that the Foreign Minister of the present British Cabinet should be drawing his information concerning the Confederacy from so distinguished a correspondent as Wm. H. Seward! It was, indeed, time for Earl Russell to confess his belief that the infamous fraud to which Mr. Secretary Mallory's name was appended was a forgery, when Seward had arrived at the same conclusion; but it would have been with better grace, and more honorable to the British Government, had he discovered the fact without Seward's assistance and announced it without his authority. But it is all in keeping with the general attitude of the British Foreign Minister towards the Confederate States. He is not likely to be much in advance at any time of Seward in an act of justice to the Confederacy, and

In the House of Commons, on the 18th, Lord R Cocit wished to ask a question which, at the interposition of the noble lord at the head of the Government, he had postponed on Friday evening. He wished to know from the attorney General whether he still considered a certain report alleged to be signed by Mr Mallory, on behalf of the Confederate Government, as a document of a character entirely unquestionable, [hear, hear,] as he on a former be casino had described it [Hear, hear.] He also wished to know whether the Government would lay on the table the dispatch of Mr Seward with reference to that document.
