Some troops, also, were doubtless retained at
Falmouth as reserve, though we see no men
ton of them Sufici.nt divisions, according
to the reports we have thus far were not
available at the critical moment, much less an
army corps. Hooker fought with what men
he had, and when they were disabled or ex-
hausted he lad no strong columns TO fall back
upon. Did this arise from any deficiency OF
trrops? Not at all. Sixty thousand soldiers
are Scattered among the defences of Washing
ton or the Potomac river whose places could
have been temporarily supplied by the organli,
zed militia of our cities, while they were held
within supporting distance Of the main army.
Why was no call made for these before Hook
er began to move? Was Gen. Halleck asleep,
or did be suppose himself able to reverse the
plainest dictates of foresight and prudence?-
Why did the President allow Hooker to move
until he had made assurance doubly sure, by
placing second army, easily gathered from
about Washington and Baltimore on his
back"
AS to the first Of these alleged defects, we
have nothing to say until we are placed, IN pos
session Of Gen. Hooker's reasons for the dlyl-
sion Of his army in way which resulted SO dis
asterousy
AS to the second specification, under which
it IS is sought m to % cast on the shoulders of Gen.
Halleck or of the Secretary Of War, or of the
President himself, measure of blame tor Gen.
Hooker repulse, it may be safely affirmed
| that Gen. Hooker deemed his forces more than
ADEQUATE in point of numbers to the work he
| purposed to perform IF there has been fail
ure any where it certainly has not been on
the part of the Administration in withholding
from Gen. Hooker the reinforcementsv he is
supposed to have needed.
The London correspondent of the New York
Herald sends the following, dated April %:
II have positive reliable information that
the entire naval steam reserve of three hundred
vessels is ordered ready for sea Immediately in
view of the critical position Of American af-
fairs. The public mind has not been SO excl
ted since the affair of the Trent | have talk

there is universal opinion that we are In

The National lntelligencer quotes the speech
of Lord Palmerston, during the late discussion
in the British Parliament on American affairs,
and saws: tWith such sentiments anlmatlng

lieye that any cases Of outstanding difference
between the two Governments threaten to dis

viii be produced for the 'nrst time in this city,
for four years, the thrilling classical play Of
4 Medea" In the character Of Medea, the poT.
alar actress Miss Mary Provost is said TO be
unequalled. We have, az times, read many en-.
logistic notices Of her performances Of this
great part. II has been played here years a.
gone by Mssea Matilda Heron and Jean Daven-
port, and always attracted large audiences, for
the public have q universal name OF being ex-
tremely critical and appreciatlve. We may
expect 10 SEQ this evening crowded house, and
hope that Miss Provost will be able TO sustain
the widespread reputation she has secured az

Stranger" will terminate tho performance, Mr..

Lucille appears as Peg Wellington, In "Masks

CANTERBURT.-The attractive programme Of
last night proved most successful and satlsfac-

enthusiasm, and the return OF the fascinating
pet Of the stage, Miss Julia Mortimer, was
hailed with tremendous applause by her nu-
merous admirers. Mile LaFolle and the pop
ular Dick Parker, together with the astonlsh-
Ing Rollande Brothers, all received a hearty
welcome to the Canterbury stage. The great
