own amidst the outcry raised against him, and the
impression gains ground that he will somehow
contrive to obtain a tolerable whitewashing, and
then resign. If he would do the one, the
country would be mighty well pleased to wink
at the other, under the conviction that " the
first loss is the best."--Pelietioni the Italian,
convicted of murder by stabbing, having been
acquitted on a second trial on another charge, in
regard to which it was certain that the man who
in both instances used the knife (a peculiar one)
was identically the same, has been set at liberty.
—The Unity Bank officials, a good many of the
fraudulent counts in the indictment preferred
against them having, been ignored as respeeted
one of their number, hate been acquitted
a the remaining charges of conspiring to
defraud, and the twenty-six counts against
the other defendant being abandoned, they
have been dismissed from the bar—The
notorious case of Lord Huntingtower turns out
to have been, after all, a plea of a Scotch
marriage, put forth merely to teat its validity ;
and this plea being withdrawn, the English
marriage with the present Lady Huntingtower
remains unimpeached.
V.—ABROAD, the latest act in the American
war drama is the stireender of General Lee.
The fate of Richmond must have been
sealed for more than a month before its
burning and situ:elation, as the latter lirecesit
now eqeers to have been all that time going
on. he carnage and destruction invest its
capture with a melancholy desolation. Still it
is a triumph and an exultation to the North,
that President Lincoln in person should have
been able to enter Rightilond at the opening of
the Spring campaign. It is curio:ins to read the
lively sketches of newspaper correspondents on
entering this long forbidden ground ; to find the
dingy Richmond Whig, the best known paper of
the place, appearing on the flight of John
Mitchell next morning after the surrender, on
Union, in place of Confederate, interests under
its old proprietor Ira Smith. One thing we
may remark about these American prints
indicates them to be, in many respects, far in
advance of our own press in ministering
to the actual requirements of the community.
In launching the Church and Country News-
papers, we are made to feel that a religious
press is something like an innovation, at least
in country parishes. But the titles of papers
published in Richmond puts us, in this respect,
to very shalt% de it deeignated "Religious
Journal," or ' 4 Advocate" out and out; another
bears the name of "The Church" something or
other; another the "Presbyterian" and so on ;
in fact every denomination appears to be pro-
vided with its organ, and religion to be made as
important a feature as politics in the organisation
of these "beat possible instructors" of the
Amerioan people. The pursuit of Lee, the
capture of guns and baggage, of prisoners and
even of generals, is all calculated to create the
impression that the South is crushed never more
to rise. But recovering from the first con-
sternation reused by an obvionsly terrible re-
verse, the partisans of the south still busy
themselves hoping against hope. All that has
happened, say they, is the transference of the
seat of war from the Eastern seaboard to the
Western States. They remind us of Washing-
ton's resolve, as quoted from his very letter, in
the crisis of despair, to take refuge behind
Pennsylvania if it were thought the people would
support them, and if not—to cross the Alle-
ghaniea. That Lee is fertile in long caleulated
resourcei it Certain; and until the actual ac-
counts of his surrender reached us, we were
certainly inclined to say there may be a possi-
bility of his endeavouring to protract this war,
even guerilla fashion, indefinitely in the Western
wilderness. But such is not the general ex-
pectation. Canada is thoroughly alarmed at
what may next. be done by the military spirit
now created in the North. Her five dont-
missieners have reached Boston on their way
to hold a conference with the Imperial
Authorities on the Subject of the Colonial de-
fences. Etee Australia has caught the appre-
hension, and the time has conic when New
South Wales, at all events, forsees the propriety
of a defensive armament against the possible
assaults of maritime foes. Nay, it would seem
as if France and England were prepared to make
common cause; and many nlonths may not
elapse without seeing a cembined fleet of iron-
dads cruising in the Channel, as a demonstra-
tion intended, however, rather to preserve the
peace of the world than to break it.
