JtOEUCCK, UKMDER OF PARLIA MENT. Prom the London Times, May 27. A great open air meeting was held in Sheffield, y. C|l * e . r day,.io consider the advisableneas of memo rializing Government to “use.its good offices, to procure at suspension of hostilities between the North and.South, with a view to an arrangement of .the difference between them. 'The meeting was called,Tii pursuance of a'requisition, by the Mayor (Ur. J. Brown,) and was attended by about 10,000 persons, including'&U classes'of the inhab itants. - *' The extreme abolitionist .party here, who have had small meetings from time to time of their own party, and carried votu-yin-fayor of The i’ederals, mustered strongly, and movdiT an'amendment on the present Occasion ; but their opinions were ob viously not acceptable to the vast mejorily-of' the meeting. - ’-i- ..it ; Tho Mayor called upon Mr. Roebuck, who said: (ioiitlemcii, the question we are about to discuss is one of tnc "highest possible importance. Many years ago.Englahd planted great colonfcs in Ame rica. They raised tbemselve3 up to a great height. They became three millions of people; and tuey then determined to separate from England. They dtclafi^d that tlicy h.id a right to separate when they thought lit to do so. (Hear, in-ar.] They, supported Unit judgment of theirs by arms. They’ fought Knglaud, they beat England—[hear, fiear'j thoy declared themselves independent. [Hear, heari] The consequence of that is, that tho .es tablish this great principle among mankind, aud when ilpeOplo Sro determined to throw off a yoke, wluuovei that yoke mtiy he, it they have ' the puwei-, they have Hie right'to do so. Now, after ubove eighty, years of alliance, the United States of America have separated in two. A large body of these States, calling themselves the Confeder ate States, declared that they, would no longer be allied to there United States,but would make them- selves independent.. [Hear hear.] They are ex actly in the tradition at the American colonies with regard to England in'tbe year HJ7. I mourned at ihcir separation, But the'North themselves, from the.very commencement, were so cruel, • so to conquer the South'; but I will tell you wliat they hope for. There is a body of men in New York Who thrive wonderfully npon the,war. They liavo con tracts, they have “ greenbacks,” they have every means of putting thoir hadds into the public purse they are gorged with wealth; and as long as this £oe* on they will wish the war to continue. If England can move in such a way as to put an end to the war in America, let her do so at once.. (Cheers.) What do I ask this meeting to do I Do 1-ask tins meeting to dictate to Parliament ? No. All that I wish you to say is what you think. You must leave the management of the whole matter to Parliament. I don't want you to toll them what they ara to do. They are ia a condition to know much better than we what steps should be taktn. - ly wish to teH them one opinion, and leave ' deal with the matter for themselves. If the pebpla are ever to„be instructed upon the question of America they are instruoted now. 1 tell-you I be lieve, thu time is come for an acknowledgment of the independence of the Bouth*-(chedij —that Eug- lai.d, hy so doing, will lie carrvipg oat tlm <-r>-at mission she has to advance, and protect -mankind { that if sho da so she will beiu-flt nut only herself, but the world at' large. Therefore I should advise yon—if my advice be worth anything you will take it, if nut, rejuct it—I.would advise you to say that, in your opinion, the Confederate State* oj America si.mtld at once Ic acknowledged to be an indipcmlcut nation. (Loud cheers.) - . A*- - Tho Rev. J. P.

At 5 CO tho enemy signalled thoir gunboat which Rad gono down the river, and she returned. The enemy boardoM the Allan ta at 6 50. At 6 80 the U.

One shell burst on the deck of tho Atlanta.— Tho Confederate flag was seen floating over the tendered. She appeared to carccu over before tho steamer Itondiga left her. * It is reported that the Atlanta gel ashore several times, and that she was ashore whon she surrendered in consequence of her crow refusing to continue the fight. We hope that this latter, statement is untrue. It is stated by thoso who saw the engage ment that the enemy’s guoboaiK-kept closo on shore, where the water was so shallow that the Atlanta, whose draft is semo fifteen feet, could not Approach them.' • The pilots oir board of tho Atlanta were Thomas Hernandez, Jamt-s Fleetwood, aud Mr. Austin.
