The position of affairs before Richmond was
generally unchanged. No news from M'Clellan's
army was received on the 4th in consequence of a
violent storm, which broke down the telegraph
line between Fortress Monroe and the military
head-quarters:
No later intelligence had been received from the
department of the Shenandoah.
It was iffprelted at Martinsburg on the 4th that,
in addition tq the force under Jackson, the Confe-
derate divisions under Longstreet and Smith were
also somewhere- in the valley. Their force was
estimated *theta 12,000 to 15,000 men.
The ilt..Zosie araver4 News states that there is a
general belief th(roegtiont Kentucky that a plot
has been concocted by returned soldiers from the
rebel army, guerilla bands, and local Seoessiouists,
to make a sudden and simultaneous uprising in that
State, dtetrdy the railroads, burn the bridges, and
march suddenly to Lexington Frankfort, and
Louisville. The guerilla chieftain, John Morgan,
is known to be in the State, and it is
thought that be is to be the leader of the
movement, aided by an advance of the rebel forces
from Knoxville upon General Morman'ir national
"spat Cumberland Gap. There are but few ma-
ti mal troops in Kentucky ; and if such a /mee-
'Ft as that indicated should take place, the
onista would have to rely upon themselves` to put
down. •
Some of the leftism from WOlellsn's - hand-
-1 spinners suggest that Rielunond is the most likely
ilantination of Ileatirsord and the forces with
which be retreated from Corinth, and under this
impression they urge that no time should be loaf in
the attempt to capture Richmond. The correspond-
lint .New York Taws at WEllellan's bend-
quarters admits that the fall of Richmond will take
place witiant moodier blade.

course written from a Northern point of Aim.
13olue of the writers insert that the final' 're-
treat of the • Confederates on Sunday, the
Ist, amounted to a perfect rout, and that
they were thoroughly Osbsa rtened. .No South-
ern accounts of the battle have wine to band
nor is there anything in the papers now remedied
to indicate what were the real iOSIK4 of eldssr bide.
That they were verybsavy is evidenced by the tact
that the steamer Mm City, with 4) wounded
soldiers, end the Daniel Webster with 242, bad
already arrived at Washington, and the Whildin,
with 400, bad reached Philadelphia.
According te the New York Rtrold, the
Ifni/rat loss was about SOO and
11,000 wounded, while that of the Confederates was
11,000 killed sad wounded, and 1,500 prisoners.
Mater despise estimates the Fedora/ loss at 7,000.
The Noe rtett Tribune pahlashes a despatch to
the effect that. the Confederate officers at Win-
cheater, in talking freely with some Union pri-
soners, seemed to look forward to the destruction

LONDON, THURSDAY, JUNE 19.

THE PRll4rez of Wr.as is once more among
us, happily returned from • round of travel rich
in historical associations and memories sacred to
Christendom. The sympathetic interest of his
countrymen which followed him two years ago to
the New World to observe the boldest experiments
of national life, has more recently attended him
as he approached the historical centres of the
great world-religions, and contemplated society
in its most ancient and elemental forms. No
Prince of his years, even in these days of restless
locomotion, has seen so much of the world, or
been able to profit by observation of mankind in so
many aspects. The nation has recognised in these
extended travels the crown of an education worthy
of its future Kum, and places their plan among
the benefits which it owes to one watchful and
provident mind which, if it counsel and guide no
more on earth, may not be beyond the reach of

our gratitude.
But there is a time for all things, and the
period of wisest preparing must not be allowed to
encroach upon the season of action. We trust we
may be permitted to believe that the series of the
Plalfei'll prescribed wanderings is now ended,
and that he may soon enter upon the
public duties proper to his station. The
nation would gladly learn that the Panics
will not, under present circumstances at least,
leave England, but will remain to lighten the cares
and cheer the heart of his Royal Mother. The
English people, from long habit, rely on their
Princes for offices of social life which are both
numerous and important. The Qrtsrar is seques-
tered in the sacred privacy of grief, and no intru-
sive word or glace will follow her there. But
usage has established differences between the
members of a family in respect of the period of
social inactivity arising from bereavement, and a
mourning son customarily returns to active life
before his mother quits her seclusion.
It is now six months since a heavy blow, felt in
everyhouaehold in the realm, removed the members
of the Royal Family from public observation, and
we have arrived at a period when the absence of
a Omni is felt to be peculiarly inconvenient. We
are in the midst of an enterprise, voluntarily
initiated by ourselves, which has brought hither
eminent strangers, to whom we owe the highest
rites of hospitality. It is not well that distin-
joished foreigners 'should arrive in London, per-
haps trent where t.trt. art and
Tioniethkts more, to fine I gaping void in the place
of that recognition they obtained elsewhere. The
name of the Viceroy of Bovrr has been men-
tioned ea that of a Prince who should have been
received here with more honours than have been
awarded to him, and it is known also that other
persons of great eminence are coming to see the
Exhibition. The Viceroy of Eovrr, however,
instead of staying two months with us according
to his first intention, is suddenly taking
his departure. We are unable to say
that the resolution of his Highness is due to dis-
satisfaction with his position : other and personal
reasons may have brought it about. But certainly
all who read a fortnight ago the accounts of the
entertainment which the Vimmor found at Paris
must admit that SAID PADUA will carry away from
England an estimate of the national hospitality
very different from that which he brought hither
from France.

There is no obvious reason why advantage I
should not be taken of the return of the Prince of
Wxxxs to supply as far as possible the deficiency
caused by the regretted absence of the SOVIREIGN.
The public and social ceremonies and celebrations
connected with the international Exhibition are
occasions in which the Psuroa may well represent
the Quaker. The loyalty of the public would be
indulged and gratified, and interests which naturally
look up to the Court, but which now languish,
would receive a muck-needed impulse.

Tea isms of a Special Commission for the trial
of persons who have taken part in acts of agrarian
violence suggests many painful reflections. The
sanguine hope that the greatest evil which in our
time has afflicted Ireland had at length died out
has been rudely dissipated by late events in cer-
tain portions of the country. Limerick and Tip-
perary, during the long reign of Captain Rock,
were the special scenes of midnight foray and
noonday outrage ; and there, if anywhere, the
lurking disposition to lawlessness was likely to
keep its most retentive hold. We never
were able to see the grounds for the con-
fidence which others felt, that we had seen
the }sat of przedial crimes, because we knew that
too many of the mischiefs to which their preva-
lence was once attributed continued to exist,
though in an abated degree. Still we
freely own the disappointment and con-
cern recent atrocities have caused us, in
common with others ; and we cannot but com-
mend the resolution of the Government to use the
utmost promptitude the forms of law allow in the
attempt to vindicate the majesty of the law.
Speedy retribution, so it be not precipitate or pas-
sionate, has always been found of salutary efficacy
in the repression of crimes whose nature is mien-
tislly contagious. It is necessary to appeal to the
popular imagination as well ash the collnscicen asses of
ce of
the peasantry; and the attenn of al
the community, whether listless or sympathetic,
needs to be rivetted on the dreadful aspect
and inexorable hand of justice occupied in the
punishment of such guilt. There is, no doubt,
some danger that the credulity of jurors and the
garrulity of witnesses may be over-stimulated un-
consciously by the general excitement of men's
minds in the locality to which a special commission
is sent; and time was when a danger still greater
prevailed—viz, that arising from too keen a desire
in those who prosecuted not to be baulked in
