Til k a Title A!-.—Deering Hall.—The troupe of talented artists connected with Miss Kate Keignolds were greeted with a delighted house last evening. Miss Keignolds is indeed an el egant, brilliant and versatile actress, as the different styles of dramas presented last eve ning showed. She was ably supported by Messrs. Beck, Marlowe and Kobson. To-night the three plays ol “The Comical Countess,” “The Morning Call” and “The Union Volun teer” (or a very odd kind of soldiering,) iu ail of which Miss Keignolds will take promiuent parts, will be offered for public favor, and such a bill with such a troupe ought to fill the house, and we trust it will be tilled with a re fined audience, such as will appreciate these beautiful dramas. The last piece, we are told, is very laughable, during which Miss K. will sing “When this cruel war is o’er.” £y“Tlie great International Circus aim Model Areua will make its entreo into the city to-day, passing through seine of the principal streets. It will exhibit this afternoon and evening, at 2 and 7 o’clock, on the corner of Green and Portland streets. This is said to bj the largest and best circus extant, embrac ing performers from the three great nations— America, England and France—in the depart ments of equestrianism, gymnasium, music, &c. The procession will be proceeded by Sil lowuy’s splendid cornet band. KT*We learn that Mr. Stover of the Inter national Hotel, retired yesterday, and that Mr. Oliver C. ltoliins, long the gentlemanly clerk of that house, has become the Proprietor. Mr. Stover, we understand, is to take a position in connection with the Independent Telegraph Company. All deserved success both to the out-going und iu-cuming gentleman. ‘ Hall L. Davis has received for sale, a treatise on “Money,”by Charles Moran; “Ev idence as to Man’s place in Nature,” by Prof. Huxley; lectures on the “Symbolic Charac ter of the Scriptures,” by the Itev. A.

(H ATER. Two British Steamers Sunk. Gen. Hunter's Letter to Jeff. Davis. Nkw Yoiik, June 1. Port Royal advices, |wr steamer Arago, state that our forces on Folly Island were at tacked on the 20th by the rebels, who were repulsed. Gen. Hunter has issued an order, drafting all the able-bodied men not in the employment of the Government found in that department after June 15th. It is reported that an expedition is to be sent into the interior of Florida. A British blockade runner, while trying to get out of Charleston, was discovered on the night of the 20th, and sunk before she could gain the bar on her return by the Powhatan. Her officers and crew are supposed to have perished. She was a large steamship. On the 23d another steamer was discovered, and tired into. . She recrossed under a heavy tire, and sunk in the main channel, off Morris Island. All furloughs have been stopped in Gen. Hunter’s department. It was reporUul that several regiments bad been ordered to Virginia, but that (Jen. Hunter refused to let them go, and sent a protest to the President. The monitors still lay off Edisto. The Ironsides was opi>osite Fort Sumpter. The following letter from (Jen. Hunter to Jeff. Davis is published in the Free South of May 80th: Headquarter* Department of the South, Hilton Head, Port ltoyal, April 23, lKii3.— To Jeff. Davis, Richmond, Va.:—The United States flag must protect all its defenders, white, black or yellow. Several negroes in the employ of the Government in the western department hart; been cruelly murdered by your authority and others sold into slavery. Every outrage of this kind against the laws of humanity which may take place iu this de |ruil.iii(.uk .mail UC JUilUWUU U) llie llllllHHllUU; execution of the rebels of the highest rank in my possession, man lor tnan. These execu tions will certainly take place for every one murdered or sold into a slavery worse than death. On your authority will rest the re sponsibility of this barbarous policy, and you will he held responsible in this world and in the world to come for all the blood thus shed. In the month of August last you declared all those engaged in driving the negroes to tight for their country to be felons, and directed the immediate execution of all such as should be captured. I have given you time enough to reflect on your folly. I now give you notice that unless this order is immediately revoked, I will at once cause the execution of every rebel officer and every ruhel slaveholder in my possession. The poor negro is fighting for liberty in its truest sense, and Sir. Jefferson has beautifully said, “in such a war there is no attribute of the Al mighty which will induce him to fight on the side of the oppressor.” You say you are fight ing for liberty. Yes, you are lighting tor lib erty— lilierty to keep four millions of your fel low beings in ignorance and degradation!— Liberty to seperate parents and children, hus band and wife, brother and sister! Liberty to steal the products of their labor, exacted w ith many a cruel lash and bitter tear! Lilierty to seduce their wires and daughters, and to sell your own children into bondage! Liberty to kill these children with impunity when the murder cannot be proven by one of pure white blood! This is the kind of lilierty—the lilier ty to do wrong, which Satan, chief of the fall en angels, was contending for when lie was cast into hell. I have the honor to lie, very resp’y, Your most obedient servant, (Signed) I). Huhtek, Major General Commanding. FROM MEXICO. Occupation of Puebla by the Trench. Capture of General Ortega and 17,000 Prisoners. The French Mnrehing on-the City of Mexico. J?ew York, June 1. An extra of the Havana Deario of the 26th, received per steamer Slielldrakc, reports the arrival at Havana of the French war steamer Darien from Vera Cruz, with important dis patches from Gen. Korey, aiiiimineing the oc cupation of I’uehla by the forces under his command. The prisoners include Gen. Ortega and 2d other Generals, 000 minor officers and 17,000 men. It appears that on the 10th Gen. Korey opened with heavy artillery on Kort made. The French troops then moved to the assault,and after a desperate resistance entered the place, when Gen. Ortega surrendered un conditionally. On the 20th one division of the French at my started for the City of Mexico. On the 8th inst. Gen. Comonfort, who had received reinforcements, tried to attack the French in the rear, and Gen. Bazons division opposed him, resulting in his complete defeat. The battle took place near San I.urenzo, Oom onfort losing 2,500 men iu killed, wounded and prisoners, and seven or eight ritled cannon and a greater part of his equipments and mu nitions of war. It appears Comonfort's attack had for its principal object to lavor the en trance into l’uebia of a large convoy of pro visions and ammunition. Gen. Forey had received in time part of the heavy- artillery- he expected, and already (on the 10th) had mounted a battery opposite the fort of Tolimehuacan, one of the most dread ed iu Puebla. On the same day the artillery liegan to tire, and by the 17th a breach had been made. Forey then commanded an as sault to be made, but resistance immediately ceased. Part of the French army then entered the town, and Ortega surrendered without resistance, with all his army, including all his artillery and equipments. There would be left in Puebla only a necessary garrison to prevent its being molested by guerrillas, and the rest of the French forces would march for the cap ital. Later from Europe. New York, June 1. Very latest from Europe per Jura, via Greencastlc: Merlin, May .21.—Henry VauBistnark was present at to-day's sitting of the chamber of Deputies, ami read a royal message, in which the King says the house has iudirectly ap proved of the conduct of its president, which was iu violation of the constitutional rights of the ministry. Such a position for the ministry does not correspond with the dignity of the crown. The King can only advise the cham ber to terminate such a state of things, in order that the business of the house may lie continued. Henry VauBistnark then left the house. Herr Vinchnn moved that the royal message be reterred to the committee on the address, as the minister has misinformed the King. The motion was unanimously adopt ed. The bulliou in the Bank of England hus in creased £123",000. Admiral Porter’s Dispatch—No Invasion of Kansas. New York, June 1. The Post publishes the following special dispatch from Washington:—Admiral Porter’s dispatch, published this morning, is the latest received by the Government from Vicksburg. It is rumored iu the street that Gen. Lee is moving towards the Shenandoah Valley, but there is probably no truth iu the report. The story set afloat of a new invasion of Kansas by Gen. Price, and the inadequacy of the national forces to resist it, has no founda tion. In fact there are 40,1)00 enrolled militia iu the State of Missouri ready to act. Gens. Heron's and Blunt's commands are in Kansas and the Indian county, which amount to nearly 25,000 men, and it is believed they can take of Price. Fort Gibson is ifts miles or more from Leavenworth City south, and about 100 miles west of Little Bock. Neither Kansas nor Leavenworth is iu danger. FROM WASHINGTON. MAIL ROBBER PARDONED. MUNICIPAL ELECTION. Washington, June 1. Count Kami! Brans and M. Olivari, tlie cap tain and first officer of the Lilian frigate San Girovauna, now lying at Philadelphia, are vis iting Washington, and accompanied by the Italian minister, were to-day presented to the President. They were in full uniform. The President to-day pardoned Jacob Var ney, convicted in the District Court of West ern Virginia for mail robbery, in April, 1.K152, and sentenced to imprisonment in the Wash ington Penitentiary for a period of three years. Postmaster General Blair, District Attorney and jurors all joined in the petition for pardon. He lias a helpless wife and ten children. The 3d brigade of Pennsylvania volunteers, Col. Fisher commanding, who have been per forming guard duty in Washington, joined tlie headquarters of its division to-night on the Virginia side. Gen. Crawford will probably assume command of tlie division to-morrow. The men were in flue spirits, and cheered as they passed through our streets, glad to be again in the field. Capt. A. Niclimorty, who was with Gen. Morrill in all tlie battles of the Peninsula in Gen. Crawford's division, is act ing as Adjutant General and Chief of Staff. It is believed this favorite division of Penn sylvania would be increased to its full number by returned nine months men iftlicyweie called for. Tlie municipal election came off to-day. The present Collector, Kegister, and Surveyor were re-elected by large majorities. Botli parties claimed to be Union. Tlie coutest was not spirited. Up to 11 o’clock to-night no additional in telligence had been received from Gen. Grant's army later than tlie previous dispatches of the 5S8th, when it was stated that Gen. Grant’s forces progressing as favorably as could lie expected, and that Grant Imd no fears of the result. A report prevailed to-day that the rebels had appeared at Snicker's Gap, but a geutle man who arrived to-night from that place says only a few bushwhackers were secu to-day in that neighborhood. It is generally believed the army contem plates a bold movement. From Vicksburg. Chicago, June 1. A special dispatch to the Times, dated headquarters in field, near Vicksburg, ggd, says hut little has been effected within tin: past thirty-six hours. Over 400 pieces field artillery and several siege guns threw red shot and shell on tlie enemy's works yester day. Tlie mortar tleet also took a position behind l)e Soto Point. Gen. Sherman lias pushed Steele's division squarely to the foot of the parapet. Our men lay in & ditch at the slope of the parapil inside of one of tlie principal forts unable to take it by storm, but determined not to retire. Tne federal and the rebel soldiers are not 25 feet apart, but both are powerless to inflect much harm.— Each watches the other, and a dozen of musk ets are fired as soon as a soldier exposes him self above the works of either side. Nearly the same condition of tilings exists in Mc Pherson’s front. His sharpshooters prevent tlie working of the enemy’s pieces in one or two forts. A charge was made yesterday morning on one of them by Stephensons’ brigade, and was repulsed. To companies of one regiment got inside. A few got out again but the most of them were captured. The forts are filled with infantry. Our artillery has dismounted a few guns and dam aged their works in some places, hut they are still strong. Gen. McClernard was hard pressed on the left yesterday, and sent for reinforcements.— Qtiimby’s division went to his assistance. The contest continued until seven of our flags were planted at the foot of the earth works on the outside of one of the rebel forts, and kept there for several hours, lint flic fort was not taken. Mo< Demand’s loss is estimated at 10,00<> killed and wounded. The lighting grows more desperate each day. Transports arc now running to within three miles of our right. Gen. Joe Johnston is reported near Big Black Kivcr in our rear, with reinforcements for the besieged. Gen. Grant can detail men enough from his forces here to keep Johnston in check. Vallandigham indignation Meeting. Pau.AiiEi.rHiA, June 1. Tlie meeting to-night in Independence Square, to protest against the arrest of Val I.it..Ilghnsn, «... Uagrty nrtended. About 10,000 persons were assembled. Judge Ellis Lewis occupied tlie chair. Speeches were made by Ex-Senator Bigler. Ex-Congressman Biddle, Cbas. J. lngcrsoll, and others. Mr. Ingersoll counseled perfect obedience to the laws and the constitutional authorities. Tlie proceedings were very orderly, and the name of Vallandigham was repeatedly cheered on its repetition by the speakers, as was also that of Gen. McClellan. Resolutions were adopted declaring tlie arrest ami banishment of Val landigham a violence, to which the |>coplc will not and ought not to submit; that Hie remedy is in flic ballot box at the coining election, when the State authority will lie restored to tlie hands of the Democratic party; that it is tlie firm lielief that the design of the authori ties at Washington is by military aggression to provide an apology for tlie further invasion of our lilierties; and that it is only to the bal lot box that we can look for permanent relief. Tlie meeting adjourned at half-past 1 o'clock. From Havana and San Domingo. New York, June 1. The steamer Slielldrake, from Havana May 26th, arrived this afternoon. It was reported at Havana that the yellow fever had broken out among the French in Mexico. St. Domiugo dates of the 14th stale that five chiefs of the February revolution were recent ly executed. Lagnayra dates of the 7th state that war seems likely to Break out again. From Honduras it is stated that that State is preparing to aid Salvador in the war against Guatainala. Four rebel sloops, loaded witli cotton, had arrived at Havana. Various Items. New York, June 1. Several provision merchants in this city have been swindled out of $70,000 by a person named M. Leisner. The advance in gold to-day was caused by the rumor of the capture ol 20,000 of Grant's army. It is supposed, however, tol>e a canard. Tim 10th N. Y. Artillery has been ordered to Washington. I’art of the regiment have already gone. The Post understands that Gen. Fremont lues been elected President of the Pacific Hail road, eastern division. Groat Meeting in Chicago. Chicaoo, June 1. At an immense meeting held on Change this morning, Gen. Fuller announced the great necessity for funds to send supplies to the wounded at Vicksburg. Nearly *6000 were raised. The committee of the Buffalo Board of Trade gave $100, and the Oswego Board the same. Gen. IValbridge, on behalf of the Now York Committee of the Produce F.x ebange, gave $1)00. Great enthusiasm pre vai led. Expected Rebel Raid into Maryland. New York, June 1. A Washington letter in the Commercial states that it is believed the reported advance ol the rebels lias no other foundation than the transfer of a single division to Culpepper, and that Stuart is making preparations for an ex tensive cavalry raid into Maryland or Penn sylvania. Gen. Hood's division of the rebel army, it is said, is to support this advance part of tlie way. Fight near Senatobia. Cairo, June 1. The Memphis Bulletin of May .‘SOtli says an expedition from Germantown, under Colonel Met 'rcllis, attacked a retie) force of 2,7tm men at Senatobia, on the 2.7th, and drove them to the south of the Tallashachie with a loss of six killed and three wounded.
