Tho Perils OF LONDON.

The London papers are filed with stor.
les of robbery and violence committed in that
city the culprits are chiefly 'tickets-of. leave
men, convicts from penal colonies who have
been permitted to return to England for lin.
tied periods on promise Of good behavior.
One of the daily papers thus sums up the
beauties of "life in London:
"Roberies with violence seems, beyond
question, to be once more on the increase
in London. Garotting has again come in
to fashion, and small episodes from the
strangers Of India are enacted pretty reg
ulary upon tho London pavement every
night. Certain districts appear for time
TO have enjoyed specially of this nocturnal
plague; but at present it seems to be accIi-
matising itself lfeverywhere. The most pop
ulous streets do not now enjoy an exempt
ion; the very presence of the ordinary
crowd which passes London thorougbfare
early in the evening is not always a guar
anty of safety. The attack made on a mem
Der Of P arliament in the centre Of Waterloo
Place is fresh in the memory Of everybody.
Yesterday morning street still more pop
ulous was the scene Of similar outrage.
A gentleman turning into Cockspur street
from the Haymarket was set upon from be-
hind by two ruffians, blindfolded by the press
ure of hand, and flung to the ground. We
do not dwell with much emphasis upon a
charge of attempted robbery in Holborn at
seven o'clock 10 the evening, because there
appears in that case atleast possibility
that the prosecutor mistook tho intention Of
the parties. But indeed, it is not necessary
to specify cases, and we have only alluded
to one or two in particular because of the
fact that they were committed in streets
which are literally never empty day OF
night. 1t is only necessary to read the
daily papers in order to know that robberies
and attempts at robbery are growing terri
bly, common. Every day the police reports
furnish new instances"

A sikilstlcalI correspondent Of the Savau-
nah Republican puts forth series Of start
ling calculations going 70 show that tho
Southern army and iho Southern people
arc alike 10 peril Of starvation. Here are
his figures:
aIf The Government wants whisky, are
shera no means by which lie real agents
may be distinguished from the multitude
Of snb-agebls who, like a swarm Of insects,
pollnso everything they touch, aud, II alone
win bring miIdew and moral blight 10 every
section Of the Safe BY the encouragement
of fdistillories. Why not confnO the estab-
Iiahment Of d:ssillsries to localities In which
the production Of grain is sufficiently great
tojustify itf
tsIf sir this thing is not stopped by the
proper authorities, our army will have TO be
disbaDdod for want Of provisions, in less
than eight months. We have no grain to
spare. IL overy acre Of land in the Confed
eracy, which is safe from the ravages Of
the enemy, we're cultivated in grain at an
average Yield, il would not supply us with
provisions without the most rigid economy.
The cavalry branch Of the service and trans
portaIion stock alone consume at least TO-.
600 bushels Of grain per day; while So,-
600 bushels Of meal and 100000 pounds
ofbacon, at regular army rations, is re-
quired TO sustain the army daily"
"To this almost incredible amount we
may add one-fourtb for waste in trausporta
ton and destruction upon retreats, and
another fourth for tho consumption Of the
invading forces. Now multiply this amoui
by 305 and We have SO, 100000 bushels Of
grain, 1s2, 10000 pounds Of bacon, which
amount ia absolutely required for the sup
port Of the army alone for one year. Inde.
pendent Of this, we have to support popu-
lasion Of about eight millions. This caleu-
lation is made independent Of the two
fourths allowed above for vase and con.
sumption Of the enemy. These arc math.
ematical facts, and yet there are those who
are so blind, or so lost to all sense Of pro.
priety, or so devoid Of patriotism, as to
erect or encourage the erection Of distilleries
in tho land, at great risk Of being over
powered by the enemy-for bold that il
we are conquered it will be by hunger and
nakedness, and not by the enemy"
"The public suppose those sub agents to
be the principal agents Of the Government,
and, therefore aid them in their hellish de-
signs upon the Government. Distilleries
will bc established upon every branch in
the land. Our soldiers are TO be starved,
and their families left IN destitution-Ba
bus will be the Supreme god of the land,
and our negroes led into dissipation and
consequent resurrection"

New DOms o. tsno capitol q Warrington.

new Dome o. INC capitol ~ washington.
The National Intslliosncer says:
"The magnificent domo Of tho Capitol,
designed by Thos. U. Walter and now in
course Of construction under bis direction,
is rapidly progressing 70 completion. The
principal frame OF the structure has been
put in place, and the plates, which consti-
tute the outer covering, are being SET, and
will be finished before the closo Of next
month. After this shall have been done
nothing will be left tocomplete the exterior
OF The dome but the construction Of the Ian.
tern and the placing Of tie ornament on
the upper windows aud around tho spring
Of tho cupola. These ornaments are now
being cast and one Of them, representing .
honeysUckie, has been placed in position
and presents very handsome appearance
Tho castings for the inner dome are il
course Of preparation, and will soon be ready
"The present height Of the iron work
above the basement floor OF tho Capitol il
two hundred and fifteen feet and tho beigh
of the portion yet to be constructed, includ
ing the crowning statue, is about seventy
feet. About two hundred and seven thou
sand pounds Of iron have been receiveS
during the past year, and 10 the same per
iod about one million one hundred anC
eighty-Gve Thousand pounds Of the sam,
material have been put up. The Who'll,
quantity Of iron received from the beginni
ning Of the work up to the present time wa
about seven half million OF pounds, and
according to the estimates Of the architect
about eight bundredthousand pounds NOR
will be needed to complete the work Tht
dome will be crowned with Crawford
gigantic and imposing statue Of Freedom
which is ninteon aHd half feet high, anC
Weighs about fifteen thousand pounds
This statue is mado entirely Of bronze an(
is composed of five sections, the weight o
the heaviest Of which is about five Thousand
pounds. 1t may now be seen on tempo
rary pedestal iu tho east grounds Of th,
Capitol. The screw bolts which now blem
ished it will be removed when it is put il
place, and rich and uniform bronze tin
will be impaired to it. The entire cost o
the statue was about $4,000. The sun
of 100000 has been appointed by Con
gress for the dome, the most of which ha
been expended. The original estimate o
the cost Of the dome was $945,oO0; bu
the Distinguished architect, by rigid econo
my and reduction Of the weight of III,
structure, has been enabled to bring dowr
the whole cost including that Of the crown
ing statue, to about 100000"

A Singular Forecast of Events.
We take the following from the Buffalo

= We eaAo eho AObO"tub HOih wv OuhoiO
Express:
The following striking passage from one
Of the works of that crazed genius, George
Lippard, written some twenty years ago, has
been copied and handed to us by a friend.
The prediction Of now pending events which
it contains is singular and Remarkable
The language quoted appears in conversa-
tion represented as occurring between a
South Carolina gentleman and the Catholic
Archbishop of New York. The former
spesks as follows:sEC e
II am native of the South myself
Ny name belongs TO the oldest and most
noble of South Carolina. But | sold my
plantation, set my slaves at liberty and
quilted my country. And whyl Because
Isae slowly and surely the calamities Of my
country approaching.
- hear the coming storm which will desc
late the paradisiacal plains of the sunny
South. II is Slavery which brings up this
calamity. This is the demoniacal spirit Of
this beautiful, this happy country, this bull
wark Of liberty. To escape the terrible fate
sec only two ways. The first is the vol
untary abolitiea Of slavery by the slavebold-
ing States. The other is the forced liberia
tion Of the slaves by the people Of the free
States. The way is impossible now. The
doctrines Of John G. Calhoun have dazzled
the eyes OF the shareholders; have covered
with flowers the precipice that is opened at
their feet The other way--the forced abo-
lition Of slavery by the North--is already
commencing.
-'ssA small but determined party, with the
purpose Of liberating the slaves, is spread
ing over tho New England hills, and never
will stop until il occupies the wide plains Of
the west, and IS covering the whole area of
the free States. 1t will grow in strength
and extend until the South, fearing for her
slaves and her supremacy, commences the
long prepared to fight. The laundering Of
cannon and the war-cry Of the excited peo-
pie win bethe commencement Of "a new era.
Slavery will be subdued after hard and
bloody struggle, and the stars of liberty and
peace will make the again United States
the happiest, the bestcountry in the world"

2 A New Orleans correspondent Of the N.

of things near ThiebadeauxviIle, La, as fol.
lows.
Tho negroes LEFT the plantations as the
troops passed aiOng. all bringing with them
Within our lineA horses, mules, carts, DC, SO
that the sugar crop would have been to-
tal lOss, for lack Of hands to secure it, had
not General Butler promptly applied a rem
cdy.
BY bis order every planter who comes in
and takes the oath Of allegiance TO the Fed
aEaI Government is allowed to employ bis
own negroes, and as many more as be may
require, paying each ten dollars per month,
and three dollars aud half month for
clothing. Those who refuse to take the oath
Ofallegiance cannot employ any negroes 10
gather their crops, which are TO be secured
By the Government Tor its own use. As
You may suppose, nearly all the planters
have adopted the pFo6ered terms, though
nome stilI refuse affirming that at such
wages the crop will not pay. The land is
Vesy rich, and seeing the natural advantages,
and the civil blessings the people have en-
joyed, I marvel that they ever thought OF
rebellion, All they had to do was to sit
under their own orange and banana trees

THE FIGHT NEAR RICHMOND.

New YORK, June 2. The Times correspond
ent gives an account of Saturdays and Sun
days battle. The attack commenced shortly
before clock on Saturday, on the left wing
of the army. on the further south side of the
ChickahomlGy, where the advanced position was
held by the division of Gen. Casey, much the
weakest in the army. 1t was composed almost
entirely of new regiments, and reduced hy dis
ease to an effective force Of some 5000 men.
Shortly after noon the grand attack commenced,
Gen. Casey's pickets being driven in ali along
the front after spirited resistance, the rebels
advancing in force along three roads, the Will
liamsburgh road to the left. the railroad in the
CENTRE and the nine miles road, as it is called,
on the right. The vigor with which the enemy
pressed forward to attack, indicated confidence
of superior strength. battalion of two reg
iments pressed against Gen. Naglee on the right,
another fell on Gen. w asset at the centre, and
a third on Gen. Palmer to the left, pouring in
at opce fire hot and heavy, and advancing with
great resolution in the face of a steady fire of
canister and grape from the guns IN front, and
shell from those further to the rear, moving
their ranks in all directions Terribly the con-
test ragged, the air almost growing thick with
mnskct balls. Officer alter officer fell and were
borne from the field wounded men. The fought
dropped by scores, and the usual NUMBER OF
weak iointed ones were falling to the rear, but
in spite of the rapid thinning of their ranks,
the regiments generally held their ground until
the enemy succeeded in rushing around on the
left flank and poured an enflading fire from that
direction, against which rifle pits were no pro-
,ection. The ten rounds Of ammunition with
which they entered the fight were nearly ex-
hausted no more was ut hand
In the meantime, one OF Gen. COUGHS brig

were forced back for half mile or more, before
the arrival Of Gen. lleintzlman's corps. The
feeble brigade OF Casseys division averaging less
than 2OOO men, were completely broken up.
Many, if not most of the officers are killed,
wounded, or missing, and the privates were
scattered through the woods along the road
Our batteries suffered heavily, Col. Bailey being
killed, and eight guns lost.
Flushed with the seeming victory of Satur-
! day, the rebels awoke with confidence on Sum-
day, to follow up their movements sure of driv-
ing US this time to the Chickahominy But
they had made the unfortunate mistake of esti-
mating the strength of our reserves by the
weakness of our advance. Most bitterly did
they pay for their mistake Pressing eagerly
forward with confidence, they were met by the
trained troops of Heinzleman and Sumner,
whose unyleldlog columns checked their fierce
assault, turning the tide of the battle every
where against them, and forcing them at the
point OF the bayonet ON towards Richmond. 1t
was their turn now to break and rum and their
losses of the Sabbath left them little cause of re-
Joicing over the trihing gain of Saturday. Sc
verely did the rebels suffer on this as we'll as on
the previous day from the we'll directed fire of
our artillery pillng the ground with the slain.
Terrible to them also were the repeated charges
OF our solid columns, pressing them back step
by step to the last point of endurance, when
they broke and ran ingloriously, leaving behind
many of their officers, as we'll as privates, prs-
oners in our hands.
