attract large numbers of peopie from the British
side of the Channel to the Sister Country, and the |
belief is eutertained that strangers trom all parts
}of Europe will find their way to the Irish Metro-
| polis. In pamtify and sculpture the Extibition
j}will be unusually rich and attravtive. It is
jereditable to the liberality Of tie Contineutal |
Crowned Heads, and other owners of works of |
lrertu, that they have sent their treasures most |
liberally to swell the attractions. The probabi-|
jiuy is that the Queen, at some portion of the
season, will cross the Channel to inspect an
undertaking Which her lamented husband was the
lfirst to introduce inte England, and in under-}
ltak:ogs of this kind he exhibited a deep interest
up to the time of his death. One result will be

The news of the captare of Booth has been re

Part of the immense body of mercenaries and
native troops now in the pay of the United States
Government, will, no doubt, form a standing
army to keep in subjection the discontented
South. The remainder will be disbanded. In-

it is stated by the Times Paris correspondent that

VIS— LATEST NEWS.

The St. John Telegraph of Satarday last
contains an extract from the New York Daz/y
News of the 20th instant, which shews that
serious doubts are entertained respect-
ing the capture of the above named indivi-
dual. The News is well known to be one of
the most influential New York papers, and
would scarcely circulate such a report unless
there was some foundation forit. The secreey
whieh has been observed by the Washington
officials respecting Davis's alleged capture,
and the conflicting reports which have been
circulated respecting the matter — furnish
some reason to believe that the Federal
authorities have not yet laid their hands on
the real Simon Purze, and that only a bogus
President Davis has been captured. The
story about the petticoats appeared to us as
a very Suspicious one from the first, and we
should not be surprised to learn that the
whole thing was a pure invention of Federal
adventurers in quest of the large reward
offered for the ex President.

GEN. J. B. MAGRUDER PROPOSES TO FIGHT IT
OUT—HE SEES NOTHING DISCOURAGING IN THE
STATE OF TOE CONFEDERACY.

(From the Houston Telegraph, April 25.)
Tt was announced at the great war meeting in
this city last Saturday that Majur Gea. Magruder
would address the soldiers Monday evening—yes-
terday. This announcement brought a large
number of troops to the city to hear him. As the
General did not wish to disappoint them, he rose
trom a sick bed and addressed them.
The General spoke in substance as follows:—

Fellow Soldiers,—Although toe ill to say much
to you at this time, lam happy, most happy, to
meet you. We ali belong to the same great army
of patriots, and, as in time past, you will always
find me at my post. There is no use in denying
the faet that we have met with great misfortune
in the surrender of General Lee. But we muat
look these things in the face and see what there
is of it. At first it was announced that Genera!
Lee had surrendered forty-three thousand troops.

of General Lee hunself was a greater loss—a
serious loss — bat was not a fatal one by any
means. Such losses are common and to be ex-

Will the great American nation, when the excite-

burden of taxation neeessary to maintain a large

paid with tolerablé cheertuluess. But the taxes
raised during the war were not sufficient to pay
for the gunpowder govgumed by the army. To
defray the enormous expenses of the conflict the
Federal Government have incurred debts, which,
for their total amount, and for the short time in
which they were contracted, have no parallel in the
history of the world. By the calculations of a Wash-
ington official, and one who is interested in putting
the best face ou the matter, the whole national debt
of the United States will, in June next, amount
to three thousand millions of dollars, or six bun-
dred millions of pounds sterling. The interest on
this enormous debt at five and a half per cent.--
and some portions of the debt are chargeable
with a higher rate—amounts to one hundred and
