Inc Daily News says the Army of Northern
Virginia, SO long deemed invincible, - the
hope, the centre, the citidel OF the Confeder-
ates,-has not only been beaten, but shattered.
Davis Government is now vagrant and iugi-
tive. Richmond, which received it, and gave
it, for time, a dignity which it could never
have acquired whble it remained among the
cotton plantations, where it had its rise, was
set on fire by its departing guests. That the
Confederate army fought with all its old item
acity and elan we cannot doubt; but it has
been broken up by men, who, as we have
often been told, were the sweepings of the
Northern cities. Davis began the war by de-
claring that he would carry it where food and
plumber awaited the Southern armies in the
densely populated cities; but the attempt to
burn New York ended in nothing but an exc
cution, while Davis set his borrowed capital in
flames, and decamped.
The Morning Advertiser says:-"Further
circumstances and consequences Of this heavy
blow and great encouragement to the south
ern cause will be looked Tor with intense anx-
iety, as the close OF the war or the inaugura-
ton OF new and widespread guerrilla con-
hict of unknown duration may spring from
events. The other papers are silent. ~ !.
The Times has an editorial regretting that
the people OF Melbourne should have displayed
so much sympathy with the crew oil the Shen-

ships coming upon erracds OF peace to their
own distant ports. arm 81 II 81
The Times says, however, It is an affair Of
the populace and not of the government with
whose difficulties it sympalhizes. 1t recon-
mends the Colonists, as they are not prepared
to bite, they should bark as little as possible.
The Times also strongly condemns the con-
duct Of Judge Smith for his Ill considered and
dangerous charge on the subject of the st.
Adams raiders.
A London correspondent OF the Provincial
Press says there are some unpleasant whisper

gians, who is still in England, to exercise an
influence over the course to be taken by the
British government in Mexican affairs. Lord
PalmerstOn has for many years been no favor
lite with his Belgian Majesty, who. does not
conceal that he finds more pleasure in the
plant and subtitle Earl Clarendon, who is an
avowed Austrian in his foreign leanings. ss

begins, The writer believes, to regret the pre-
cipitancy with which he yielded to the royal
wish to recognize the pretended Mexican EN-
pire. Fall it must, if not saved by European
interposition, and that right early, and for this
neither the Premier nor the Foreign Secretary
