 THE LATE PRINCE ALBERT; so says the London Critic, should not be held responsible for the stories which were told of him several years ago about his being a supporter of what was then called "German interests" In 1854 Lord Pal merston was charged by the Queen with sending dispatches to forei gn powers without her royal sanction, and was dismissed from the post of foreign secretary by the advice of the Prince consort. Lord Palmcrston took his revenge by persuading the editors of certain so called eli bsral' journals to denounce the prince as sup porter of the German interests, and hence result cd his unpopularity at that time Tho same pa per states that it has reason to believe that Prince Albert vigorously opposed the movements of Eng gland towards war with America.

On Saturday, the 4th inst, wo now learn for the first time, Jackson attacked some five hundred of our troops at Bath, who were forced, in con- sequence of their inferior numbers, to fall back to Hancock.
 THE REBEL Gen. Jackson it appears has not gone to attack Gen. Kelly's army at Romney, but s contenting himself with committing dep. relations in a-d around Bath, some distance below Hancock, in the direction of Winchester. to which point he probably intends to retire, devastating the country as he goes. The de- feat of the rebels at Blues Gap, the other day has most likely had something to do with changing Jackson's programme.
