A. committee, headed by Admiral Anson, has been forrbeun London to raise, by guinea subscriptions, a fund for the purchase of a handscse sword to replace that which Captain Semmes sunk with his ship. It is reported that a considerable sum has also been nised in Liverpool for the same object. THB YACHT DEERHOUND A TENDER TO THE ALABAMA. The London News publishes an account of the Kear aarge and Alabana affair, correcting fake statements in regard to the course pursued by the former. It chergrs tbat the Deerbcund acted as a sort of tender to the Alabama ; that Captain Winslow would have se cured the whole of the officers and crew of the Alaba bama had he not placed too much confidence in the honor of the owner of the yacht ; tbat he considered Captain Semmf s and others who escaped a? bound in honor to give themselv s up, and tbat he did not pur sue and fire upon the Deerfcound because he did not be lieve tbat any one carrying the flag of the royal yacht squadron w ould act so dishonorably. The News also publishes a letter from Mr. Stoddart, Master of the Kearsarge, complaining that the Deer hound was the consort of the Alabama. UNION SENTIMENT IN PARIS.

JOHN BULL TAKING LKS80N3 FROM YANKEE SAILOR 3. In the House ot Commons, cn the 23d, Sir John nay aked if the attention of the government had been cal'e-d to Ibe action between the Kearsarge and the Alabama. He also irquired whether, in view of the experience gained by that action, the governmsnt would continue building ships which could neither fight nor swing ? Lord C Paget saidthe attention of the Adaiira'tj had betui drawn to the fight ia question, but it hai nothing to do with the question of the ves3l3 to which ;ht icqairy referred. On the following evenin? Lord Paget, in reply to an uqiiry said, that th Admiralty did not think it necessary to send an officer to Caerbnurg to examine 'he mode adapted to strengthen the sides nf the Ken -s irge in otder to resist shell, that infoym ition having beci obtained when the vessel was in dock in England.

THE PltISOJiKE.. JS CilAIiLILSTO. REPLY OF MAJOR GENERAL SAM J0NBS TO Mi J0R GEN eral foster. Headqcartefs, f. DSPARTMEM S. C, Ga , A5D FLA Charleston, June 22. 18G4. General : Your tetter of the lGb, in reply to of the 12th instant, haa ben received : laii'e As we have both been recently assigned to onr re spective commarda, it may be well that w3 should un derstaud correctly the ciream?taLces under which the fire on this city was commenced and has been contin ued. Ycu, I think, teem to be under ecrue misappre hension in regard to the mat'er. First, jou inaccurately assume that before opening fire on thi3 city Major (General Gilimore, in accordance with the u?ag;3 of civilized warfare, notified General Beacregard of his intention, ia order "that non-combatants might, be removed, cud thus women and children be spared frcrn harm." Secondly, you evidently misstate the obj.'ct of the oombardmtnt. I. On the 21st of August Ia3t a letter, without sig nature was seat from Major General Gillmore's heed quartets to Geueral Baurfgard iuforniing him that un iess certain extraordinary conditions were complied with, or it no reply thereto wa3 received within "our (4) Aour " after tfce delivery of the letter at Battery W agner, for transmission to Ci'ar'eston, fire v?onld be sipned on the city from butteries alrecdy established Gen. Beauregard received thut letter aPer eleven (11) o'clock at ijight, and two (2) hours lattr, when the i)i y was in prcfouud repose, Maj Gen. GMmore opened firt on it, and threw a Lumber of the nicat destructive pro jvctlles ever before used, amidst the sleeping and ur; rmed population. It Mej. Glu. (Jiilmore only desire ' to go through tbe barren torn of giviug notice of b:s intention, wtthou- avowing the nun combatants time to withdraw, he wonld bave uccomplished thatusehss fciif, il in bis baate and eagtrmsa to bigin hia wicked woik: he had not foigofen to sign so important a le'ter. The time allowed wuS lour (4) houts from the deliv ery of the Jetter at Battery Wagner, for tracsmissioii o Gen. Beauregard's ll-a .'qaarurs, five miles dibtani .Muj Gen. Gil'mere knew very well that, in tr e !idiu ary course of trarsua ssion, nil the time nllowed would elaps-e be'ore he could receive a leply to hia demand, Hud he knew quite as well tt at it was impossible ia th brief space of tune allow; d, to remove tne non combai anta ot a large and p puion city. It is clear, tbeieiore ba1 dae time was n -t v lowid and that tbe O" j-ct f 'he noufication wa3 not ''that lion combatants might be removed." II. Ycu say : "Many months since Mejor Geeerai Gim)re, U. S A, notified General Beauregard (then t oommuding at Obarie3 on) that the city wiiuid be: combarded. This fjOtice was g:vn that non combat ants might be -emoved, and thus women end children be upared from butm." " That city i3 a depot for nvlitary eupplies. It ton tains tot merely atscnols, but also fcuno'ries and facto lies for the manulaciure of muniiions of var. In its shipyards several atmvd iron-clads have been alita y completed, while others a-e still upon the stcckd il course ci cooatrncticn. Ita wharves and the banks cf the rivers on both sides of the city are lined wiih bat teries. To destroy these means of continuing the war is, therefore, our object and duty." Mf-jor General Gilimore siys, in his letter of the 21st of August last to General B,nnr-gard : " I have thi lienor tc demand ot you the immediate evacuation o: Morris Island and Fort Sumter by the Confederate lorcce. The present condition of Fort Sumter, and the rapid end progressive destruction which it is under going from my batteries, seem to render its comp'eie demolition within a few hours a matter of certainty. All my heaviest guns have not yet opened. " Should ycu refus? compliance with this demand, or should I receive no reply thereto within four hours af;er it is delivered into the hacd3 of your subordinate at Fort Wagner for transmission, I shall open fire on tbe City of Charleston lrcm batteries already established within ca;y and effective (range) of the heart of the city." Lit: proposed to fire ol Ik; city of Charleston to en force the surrender cf Morria I-land and Fcrt Sumter. Hid language admits of no dcubt. I he price cf refu sal to comply with bis demands was the threatened de struction of the City of Charleston, lor he resorts to no such pretext a3 that he would destroy batteries, ship yards, iron-clads, arsenals, loundries and depots of sup plies. He eays : " I shall opt n firo oa the City of Chat lesion from batteries already established within easy and effective (range) cf Me heart of the city ," werc hy the sleeping women and children, th-s anticipated victims ot his wicked purpose. The ol ject of the fire, according to Maj. General Gilimore, was to enforce thd surrender of an important fort, whicb he could not redaca, for after withstanding for nearly a year the mcst formidable bombardment from land and naval batlerie3 ever before directed on one fort, tbe Confederate flag still flies ever Fort Sum ter. Failing in that, bis next object was to destroy the ci'y to its very heait, or to make it uninhabitable by non-combatants. Independently of the declaration cf Major Gpncral Gilimore tbat hia purpose was to reach " the heart of the city," the manner in v. bich the fire has been direct ed from the commencement shows beyond doubt that its objtct was the destruction cf tbe cry lteelf and every part of it, and not cs you assume, to destroy certain military and naval woik3 in, and immediately around it. For if tl e woiks you mention have been the marks the fire bss been so eicguhirly wild and inaccurate, that no one who has ever witnessed it, would suspect its objec . The shells have been thrown at rat.dcm, at any ad all hou-s, day and night, falling promiscuous'y in th : heart of the cily at points remote from each otner, end Irom the works jou tnention. Many, I believe the greater number of them, have bern thrown in the night, when it was impossible to Seethe object fired af. They have not falien in or been corcentrated for any tirm upon any particular Icc lity, cs would have been the case, if directed on a particular fixed object for night fanog, but they have searched tne city in eve.y direc tion, md catmg no purpose or expectation, on toe patt of those directing the the of aecompiishicg any rr'iitarj result, bu- ratner design of destroying prn are property, and k Ling s me persons, no matter whom, most pioba- bly women end children qu etly Sieepii g in tl tar ::c- (jusiomed beus.

Indeed, it seems that, wi h the excepibn of au old man, an octogenarian, kilied while quietly. sitting by his fire at mght, the only persons awied uave been women and child en. You know perledly well tbat a fire, such ts I have described, could no5 lave had for i?s object th? de-ti action of cirtain specifi d, fixd military and naval wo.ks. But there are other peculiarities about tbe firing that preclude the supposition lhat its object was wia y u allege. Having faiied to frighten the Confederate Comman der into compliance with his unreasonaole derxand?. Major General Gdmore threw a few more Ebrlis (27 in all) into the city for no conceivable object than n frighten away ana kill a few non-combatants, to snow h'ow lar he could throw his projectiles, and gratify a spirit of malice, and then ceased. From tirc 24th of August to the 27'b cf October, not a fhottjr sfceil was thrown into tbe city. He, doabtkss. supposed that by that time the non cojnbaii'u's whom he imagined bad been frighent-d away, had retarwd to the city. Fcr he knew very wed that the mass cf the ccn-ccmbaaif population xf a large city situated ba Chatlis-on, would not, end conld not abandon their 1 omes permanently and become homeless wacCerers.
