THE DEAD PRINCE. Indlgnation of the Enetish Poople at the Wanton Sacrifico—Lord Cheimatord Dee nounced In Unmeasured Terma, Currrapondents New York Herald, Lonpon, June 24,—Shame and indignation bave taken the place of surprise and horror re- garding the aad death of the Prince Imperial 'Vhe frat thoughts in the public mind were the probable political consequences nud aympathy for the widowed und now chitdicas Empreas. But at present the feeling uppertnost tu the English heart !s one of same fur the blot cast upon the.

The papers are filled with letters from army offlcers ox- pressing indignation at the conduct of their fellow-oflicer, and urgently demanding an Impartial investigation, “He isa fine young fellow,” wrote the Duke of Cambridge to Lord Chelmsford at the time the Prince went out to Zoluland, “full of spirit und pluck, and, haying many old cadet friends in the artillery, be will doubtless flnd no difficulty fu getting on, and if you can help in any way, pray doso, My only anxiety on his account would be thut be fs too plucky and go-ahead.” The Duke also wrote that the Prince wish to serve in the army, but the Government would wat perinit tL. ‘The Prince, therefore, went ont os a spectator andoguest. In spite of the above warning the young Bonaparte was allowed to go into’ the heart of the enemy's country with a meagre es- vort of less than a dozen men, who, when sure prised, all scurpered ay nt lett their guest. and comrade to foltow on foot as best. he could. Perhaps the soldiers whose podics were fuuud by thatof the Prince did dle fn his defense. Later accounts will tell, and every ono hopes thvy did, for English honor is at. stake and Lieut. Carey did litte for tis glory. What_o chance this wae for «man tu have earned the thanks of a nation and the persouul gratitude of the belr of the Bonapartes, not to speak of more substantial rewards in the sliavo of the Victoria Cross wud promotion.
