iriTit. From the heavy receipts at Albany, it was an ticipated that this iu arkei would be largely overstocked, nnd that prices would decline, liut the tables (.how about 1,100 head less recepts this week than we lat repoitel, atid it turns out that the Kastern buvers took 2,0(H liead of the Albany Hock while New York took only 2,150 head of the 4,700 head there offered. The market opened on Monday with a fair business, but prices are not equal to tho?e of Tuesday fltid to-day by at leat $2615 per head; atwmt 1,500 cattle were sold on Monday, hut Tuesday was more active, and nearly all the a Kt-ck remaining in the yards from the sales of Monday was .old at very lull nrices, which

showed art advance of 25c per cwt. upou the rates ot lat week. This morning found the drove yards nearly empty and the butchers who dalayed their pur clia-es to thi day found it very difficult to buy anything decent. The sales this week have averaged quite satis factory to the owners, and the market closes with a good l.e.lthy tone. The stock w is of better quality than that of last week. The larger part being corn-fed Illinois steers. The Government took three hundred head to fchip South, and a lew of the best cattle were taken for grazing. We quote: BEtr CATTLE. Premium $ fJ2

From ev York. Niw Voss. May 3. It is uitderstood that a Board lecentiv appointed by the Secretary of the

Navy to examine tlie Stevens Battery, have, after a full investigation reported that it should be finished, but that pome modifications be made in details of the work remaining to be done. A special to the Tribune giving an account of the capture of Fort Macon, says the fire of our batteries dismounted thirteen guns aud tore up the glacis and rampart in the moi.t effective manner. Of the 1.100 phot and shell thrown by them at the fort, 500 struck the oiks. The gum. of the tort were worked with skill and courage, but the sand hills of our positiou afforded complete protection to the men. The hoisting of the white flag was greeted by a conference by Gen. Paiks and a suspension of hostilities until the following morning. Dunng the night the proposition to surrender was communicated to Gen. Burnside and in the morning articles of agreement ere signed. The garrison surrendered as prisoners of war and ere ielea.-ed on parole and allowed to take their private effects with them. The officers re taintd their side arms. These were the terms originally proposed by Gen. Park but rel'u?ed by Col. White, commander of the foit.

The surrender of rort Macon gives Ueneral

Burnside a port of entry with secure anchorage

tor his heaviest vessels.

It gives the government another of the stolen 'unifications, with liHv gun, 20,000 pounds of

lowder. sliot and shell in protection, 400 stand

of arms and a I arjie store of provisions, with 430

prisoners and 30 hor.-es. It releases a portion of

the blockading sou idron lor service elsewnere.

aud insures the retention of this district.

Gen. Burnside, in a general order congratulate

ing (Jen Paiks on his victory, commands that

the name of l'Ort Macon be inscribed on the

colors of Ihe 1th and 5ih Rhode bland regiments

and the Mh Connecticut regiment. The command of the fori was offered to Captain Lewis 0. Morris, 1st Artillery, after the surrender, but he declined, and Col. Rodman, of the 4th Rhode Island, was placed in charge.

from Yorktowii HtADi ARTtu.s, Army ok Potomac. May 2. 1M52.

The correspond ?nt of the Associated Press seiuls the following: The rebels opened this morning with their rided columbiads, sixty-eight pounders, planted

ou the bights ol Yorktown. Our No. 1 battery of 100 and 200 pounders Pal roits, was then brought to bear on the only gun which had given us any trouble; our shots falling oer and around it with every prospect of its being very soon dismounted, when on its twenty third discharge the enemy's gun burst iuto a thousand pieces, tearing up the parapet and making havoc with the crowd who were collected around it. At the time no less than ten iersons wei e standing on the parapet within six feel of it, besides those who were hid from view by the works. The destruction of life must have been considerable. This was the only gun which the rebels have shown capable of doing No. 1 battery any harm. All firing on their side ceased while our guns were manned with renewed vigor, directing their shells into the town. AIout 100 shots were fired by our guns up t 2 o'clock this afternoon, when all firing ceased. A rebel steamer came down the river and attempted to land tt Yorktown, but was prevented by a levy shots from our 100 pounder Parrot. " The rebels kej t up a continual fire all last night on our men in the trenches. The ocly casualties were the wounding of two men. The weather is again pleasant. If it should continue, you can look out for startling news from this quarter, as the work laid out is ap-

tiroachinir cornnletion.

Joseph Docker, company G, Berdan's Sharp

Shooters, was wounded and taken prisoner.

Front Wnvlilnton. Washington, May 3 The latest accounts ihow that there are lGd Brigadier Generals and that twenty six ill addition await Senatorial action. A favorable report has been made on the renomination of Daniel E. Sickles and there seems no doubt that he will soon be confirmed. The bill proposing to limit the number of Brigadier Generals to 200 and Mjor Generals to twenty-six will in all probability soon become a law. Thu far or within two days applications have been filed for compensation for forty-two of the slaves manumitted in the District of Columbia under the emancipation act. The following was received at the Nary Department to dav, dated flag ship Wabash, Port Royal, S. C. April ii, lcG2: I have just time this morning before the departure of the SuMiuehanna to inform the De

partment of the arrival here of the rebel steamer

Isabel Lila W orley in charge ot Lieut. ilsonand a prize crew, she having been captured bv the St.

Ja:o de Cuba, Com. Ridgely, 100 miles north of

Abacco. She is deeply loaded with Enfield rifles

and has, as is supposed, rifled cannon in her fore hold, which has not yet been examined. These arms were taken on board of course at one of the

neutral colonies oh our coast. I am informed by Lieut. Wilson that the St Jajro de Cuba discovered and cha.-ed the Nash

ville, but the latter was too swift for her. Tbe

Nashiille also had arms on board for the rebels

intending to run the blockade if possible. Very respectfullvyour obedient servant, S F. DlTONT, Flag Officer Commanding Hon. Gideon Welles, Secretary of the Navy

We weie joined by the Shawshec, having in tow a schooner which had been rent the day before to Koanoke Island to be filled with gaud. On the afternoon of the 23d, fifty men were landed on each batik, while a launch with a heavy 12 pounder was sent up the canal, and with this force we moved up two miles examining the banks to find the best place for orations. I concluded to place the obstructions near the mouth that the men while at woik might be under cover of the guns of the steam ers, and the enemy prevented from moving it. The schooner was sunk just inside of the canal, and with brush, stumps, rails, trunks of trees and earth, the passage was obstructed from the

Washington, May 2 The current reportth.it

General McDowell has crossed the Rappahannock

and occupied Fredericksburg is untrue. Tele crarih communication is established w ith him.

Dispatches Irom General Halleck dated to-day

say nothing of the reported evacuation of Corinth. It is discredited. De.-ertions from the rebel army here continue to be numerous. They are coming in daily, almost hourly, from various directions, and all" ngrte in their statements of the rebel force being about 100,000 and of a very general depression of spirits among both officers and men. The news of our recent victories is kept scduouslv from them. The New York Times has the following special dispatch: The town was startled by a rumor to day that all the members of Congress of the border slave States and a number of conservative sympathisers from other States were seriously considering the propriety of withdrawing in a body from the Sonate and the Hou.-e, and thus precipitating a decifion bv the people of the w hole country on the radical measure of confiscation and emancioat Ton.

Prof. Maillelort, of the New York Submarine Engineering Company, and h s assistants, were of the greatest assistance to ire. Indeed 1 was merely governed by his advice, as he is more familiar with this sort of work th in I am. He, is of the opinion that it will require two or three months' labor with a dredging machine to remove what we have placed in a day and a half. He says it will be easier and cheaper to cut a new outlet than to remove the obstructions. The rebels have, I think, no thought of using the canal, as they have themselves been obstructing it above and below the bridge. It would be well to send a steamer there daily,

until the lumber is well water soaked and unk. Very respectfully your obedient servant, C. W. Flcsslr, Lieut. Commd'g. To S. C. Rowan, Commanding Naval Forces Inner Waters of N. C. The War Department has received dispatches from Gen. Halleck. dated to-day, from Pittsburg Landing. The army was well, in high spirits, and ea;er to meet the er.emy. Mr. Lathrop, recently appointed Collector of Cu-toms at the port of New Orleans, did not, as erroneously stated, le.ive that city on the breaking out of the rebellion, but some years before, and has since that time resided in Philadelphia. He had been in New Orleans since 163H, engaged in mercantile pursuits, and was well known for his energy and ability. A special dispatch to the Post says: Secretaries Chase and Seward went to Fortres Monroe last night. Measures are in contemplation for the better defense of our Northern frontiers.

The steamer Roanoke, from Havanna on the

The French commissioners had stated that they

would no longer treat with the present Mexican

Government, which they consider an oppressive one, and they shall aid and protect Almonte, as

he came on the express invitation of the Emper

or who expected to open hostilities between the

allies and the Mexican troop.

The French luvedeclared war which the Mcx

Everything was in utter confusion. About

fifty pieces of heavy artillery were left spiked

A negro found there fays ther threw & large

amount of ordnance stores in the river.

Several doerters have come into our camp.

One plates that the rebels evacuated o ing to the

near approach of our parallel; that thev feared the rucce.s of our gunooats u York and James rivers, which would cut off their communica lion. Gen. Johnston gave the orJcr to evacuate on Thursday, to commence the folio ing morning, w Inch wa done Magruder is haul to have strenuously opposed the evacuation, Mjing if they could not whip the Federala here, they could iot anywhere in Virginia. Gen. le, rebel Commander in Chief, arrived at Yoiktown on Wedne-day and examined Gen. McClellan's works minutely, after which it iftipposed he recommended the evacuation, deeming hi work untenable. Deserters agree that their troop, were much demoralized and dispirited when the order was given to evacuate, aaall anticipated a ßsiht there. The rebels bad 1IKI,(HH) men on the Feninsula. also 400 pieces field artillery. It is believed the rebels have fallen back to Chickacorping Creek, beyond Williamsburg, where it is expected they will make a stand. Geii. Stoneman, in command of a large force of cavalry and artillery, is pursuing tbe enemy and w ill ja-obably come up with their rear before long if they remain near Williamsburg. Gunboats hate passed Yoiktown and are now shelling the (.botes on their way up the river. Following them are iiumlrs of vessels loaded with trootf to i'flect a landing. A rewjrt just receive! aaja the enemy left seventy one guns in the works at Gloucotcr Point." Guns and onluance stores were alio left. Another deserter just nime in rejorta that Jeff Davis came with Lee on Wednedy, and after a consultation with the prominent officers, all agreed to evacuate except Magruder. It is certain the rebels received reinforce tnenta Thursday by rleamets from Richmond, but did not dicmbrk. Gen. Jo. Johnston's baggage bu just been cap tured. D. B.
