LONDON, FRIDAY, JAN. 3, 1862. The advocates of peace and arbitration have at least made themselves heard. Mr. COBDEN has written ; and besides others of less note, Mr. C. BUXTON at Maidstone, Messrs. CONINGHAM and WHITE at Brighton, and Mr. W. E. FORSTER at Bradford, have all delivered set speeches on their view of the subject, With all these last-named gentlemen there has, however, been the avowal, for decency's sake, that they would not submit to the last insults, from America itself. Mr. CONINGHAM even demurred a little to the form of the resolution offered him, "it went further, and was more emphatic, than he was prepared for;" and Mr. WHITE, if we understand him rightly, seemed to think we had thus far done our duty. Mr. FORSTER argued earnestly, we cannot say cogently, for arbitration, insisting only on the thrice-answered statement that if the Americans refused the surren der it would be because they differed in their view of the law from us. The plain answer is, we c.on sider the act of Captain WILKES to be an insult to our flag. We refuse, explain as they may, to re gard it in any other light. They may reproach us with our deeds half a century back, but they might as reasonably reproach us for the co lonial slavery of that time. We can, indeed, deny that ever such an act was tolerated by our prize courts as at all approaches the case of the Trent stopped and robbed of her passengers for carrying civilians from port to port of neutrals. Even Mr. FORSTER confesses that if the precedent were tolerated, the Dover packets to France would not be safe. With the wrong undeniable, and the insult not to be explained away, there is no case for arbitration. There is no point we can admit to be a subject of dispute. If they allege that they in tended no insult, we reply, the act itself while it stands is, to us, au insult. If redress is not con ceded we regard ourselvs as insulted by the mere fact, and must take measures necessary to deter from the repetition of such an outrage. Perhaps, however, all the speakers may think some deference due to the decision, last night, of 6,000 of Mr. BRIGHT'S own constituency at Birmingham. They may well believe in the correctness of the popular instinct. The Brighton speakers accuse our Government of insincerity. They will have it that the Government never expected that the Trent affair would issue in a war ; but that the intention of England and France has for some time been to recognise the Confederate Government next summer at latest. Hence they have seized the opportunity to strengthen Canada, and to be thus prepared to sus tain themselves in their Southern policy. We should like some better evidence of such intentions on the part of our Government than the conjectures of the sagacious member for Brighton. But sup posing them to be substantially correct, the Government might do worse than prepare against the contingency of Federal wrath wh enever i t may _be necessary to recognise the claims of the South. As a matter of English policy, we indeed, as at present advised, should be slow to recognise the South, and break a blockade which will do such service to India; but events may be siich that mere humanity will de- mand that France and England should do what in them lies to bring a horrid civil war to a close. And surely a Secretary, who has openly talked of annexing CanP.da, and a President who did not in- stantly restore the Commissioners and punish WILKES, are not to be trusted to let alone un- defended colonies. Every way, we think the mea- sures of our Government prudent ; in regard to the present, we have no doubt that the evidence of our earnestness has had much to do with the subsidence of threatening talk inAmerica; and in regard to the future, Canada ought to be in a military position to enable us to do what is wise and right, irrespective of the temper in which the Cabinet at Washington may receive it. It is by no means sufficient that we should sincerely intend not to affront our susceptible descendant s we must be ready to meet their indignation with what we may deem mere justice. Wo have had an illustration of this in the epirit with which they received an acknowledgment of the belligerent rights of the South. Their temper in the recent affair is a similar warning. We must think, there fore, that all who wish peace to last between Eng land and the Federal States, should also think it good economy to make our colonies secure. In a word, to show the Federal war party that their chance of success is hopeless. Only with too much reason did the French EM PEROR, on the Jour de l'An, remark to the Corps Diplomatique that " The past year has been sadly marked by numerous agitations in various quarters of the world, and by cruel losses among royal families." Adding, "I hope that the year 1862 may be a happier one both for kings and peoples." The "agitations" referred to by his Majesty are chiefly, of course, those which have taken place among the American Republicans, among the Poles, the Nea politans, the Hungarians, and the Japanese. The "cruel losses" sustained during the past year by certain reigning families start upon the instant quite as readily, and if possible still more painfully in some respects to, public recollection. The cruellest loss of all, naturally enough in our estima tion, being that endured by our beloved SOVEREIGN, and sympathetically by ourselves, her MAJESTY'S lieges. More numerous and more tender ties being abruptly ounderedg, the premature aeuitsu ur his Royal Highness ALBERT, the late PRINCE CON SORT— VICTORIX REGINA CONJUGIS PERCARISSIMI, dying, as that virtuous and accomplished Prince did, on the 14th of December, in the flower of his age, the joy and solace of his august partner, him self the central figure of a youthful and fondly attached family, It was in these respects the heaviest, and the saddest, and the fatallest, blow to the happiness of the Royal Home upon which it descended almost as abruptly as a thunderbolt. Other reigning houses, besides that of England, have been desolated by grievous calamities of this kind during the lapse of the last twelvemonth. In truth the death that thus saddened all this vast Empire owning allegiance to the sceptre wielded by th e f a i r h an d o f V ICTORIA at the head of our grand Constitutional Govern ment, had its mournful precursor but a very few months previously—namely, within the first quar ter of 1861, by the demise, on the 10th of March, of her Royal Highness the Duchess of KENT, the mother of the sover e i gn. Th e Ott oman E mp i re , moreover, during the same fatal year, has had to witness the sudden disappearance from life of his Imperial Majesty the Sultan ABDUL MEDJID. Yet, in this instance, although, considering his age alone, the deceased monarch might be deemed to have expired prematurely—AßDUL MEDJID, at the period of his decease, being only in his thirty-eighth year, his constitution was so undermined and broken down by the enervating influence of Oriential luxury—that with him " the pear" may be said to have been precociously ripened almost to rot tenness. Generous and noble though the dead SULTAN'S disposition unquestionably was—as was magnificently manifested by various acts of personal magnanimity and munificence, acts that can never be obliterated from the annals of his reign—in stance this, his princely contribution in aid of the starving peasantry of Ireland his throwing the shield of his protection over KOSSUTH and his compatriots, when hunted within the boun daries of European Turkey by the banded sol diery of the Austrian and Russian despots—and last, but not least remarkable, the late SULTAN'S spontaneous presentation of an estate to M. DE LAMARTINE as a token of his MAJESTY'S admiration of the French Poet's Heroism and sympathy for his misfortunes: notwithstand ing incidents like these, we say, redeeming in a great measure the otherwise unsatisfactory cha racter of ABDUL-MEDJID as a Sovereign Ruler — Turkey itself, Europa at large could not but by contrast regret his glorious predecessor, could not but look hopefully to the chance of improvement under his possible successor. Those hopes it is yet painfully matter of uncertainty whether his brother the present Sultan ABDUL -AZIZ will dash to the ground or realise. Death, for a long while threatening to destroy the fair and youthful partner on the imperial throne of the Austrian Emperor FRANCIS JOSEPH has happily to, all appearance in that instance only threatened to do so. The fatal stroke has seemingly been averted, under Heaven, by the care and skill of the physicians in attendance upon her MAJESTY. And it is a gratifying souvenir for Eng land to remember that in the efforts that have been made during 1861 to ward off in this instance the dangers of consumption, her Government have very conspicuously participated. The Royal yacht con veyed the Austrian Empress with all despatch to and fro between Europe and her Imperial MAJESTY'S place of southern sojourn ; and the young EMPRESS not only found a home, and, with that, returning health, upon British soil in the island of Madeira, but afterwards, and under yet happier auspices, and with more appreciable success, in the prin cipal island of the lonian Archipelago. The crown of Prussia we have seen transferred from the dead brow of an imbecile and faineant Sovereign to that of a Prince having only too haughty and energetic a notion of the grandeur of the kingly dignity and of the " right divine," appertaining to a Monarch of even the most mushroom dynasty. Worse than Death has swept the diadem and the whole regalia of tho :Two Sicilies from the grasp of young King FRA:NCIS IL—has swept them off by the force of an overwhelming defeat to swell the mass of the accumulating crown jewels gathered already from Parma, and Lom bardy, and Tuscitny, and Modena, and other minor Italian principalities now appertain tamping to the &minions of King VICTOR EMMANUEL. Divers other calamities, now of death, now of political disaster, might be par ticularised here, and descanted upon at length, as having befallen diZerent Royal Families during this late fatal year of 1861. The demise of the Chinese Emperor MEN FUNG alone is eminently suggestive of certain solemn considerations, occur ring as it did upon. the very morrow as it were of the capture of the hitherto sacred capital of his stupendous empire. But —there is one Reigning House nearer Home: whose griefs from deaths occur ring within its 'acrrow but august limits with extraordinary rapi dity, prematurity, and reiter ation, have so startled us all into attention —even here in England in the midst of our own bitter regrets for the lot€ bereavement cf the British Queen and the Brit ish Nation—that it is difficult not to pause for a. r nornent before the dire calami ties that have %within Lo brief an interval desolated the 'alace of Necessidades at Lisbon. There--n otwithstanding that the late Queen Regnant of: Portugal, MARIA DA GLORIA, had left us heirs to her Sovereignty a family of Five Young Prin .c• all of them more or less upon the verge of man'he od, a sudden and total extinc• tion of that branch: , of the dynasty appears to have been threatened. 'Three of those princes —the eldest of the three, t) ie heir to the Crown of MARIA We often hear the character of the commissioners and the nature of the Southern cause still spoken of as if it were almost or quite reason enough for for bearance with the North in the San Jacinto case, and for espousing its cause generally. We do not deny that both are bad enough ; we early pointed out that Mr. MASON was the author, or at least the prime mover in the enactment of the ever Infamous Fugi tive Slave Law. But, who accepted and carried that law ?—the North. And what were the thirty pieces which purchased the concession to the South A tariff to exclude English manufactures. The North, for commercial protection against England, sold the freedom of their soil and the rights of the negro ! Surely the receiver was as bad as the thief. Indeed, we think the Fugitive Slave Law a greater disgrace to the North than to the South. And when we saw Mr. LINCOLN and Mr. SEWARD come forward and propose, instead of abolishing, to make it more effective, we confess we lost at once all respect for them. One or two States had passed "Personal Liberty" Acts—these acts simply pro vided that the coloured man resident among them should not be deprived of his liberty until his Southern claimant had proved to the satisfaction of a jury, that he had been the claimant's slave. Their design was to prevent a judge, who received a double fee if he sent a negro into slavery, from enabling a Southern planter's agent to kidnap free blacks on his affidavit—probably a perjured one— alone. Yet to these safeguards Mr. LINCOLN ob jects ! Mr. MASON and Mr. SLIDELL may be traitors against ABRAHAM LINCOLN, but verily Mr. LINCOLN is as odious a traitor against the negro, or very nearly so, as the Commissioners themselves. And then, with regard to negro emancipation, we are told that we ought to sympathise with the North, because it will be driven by the war to emancipate them ! Small praise to the North, then, for that ! Precious motive to sympathy that, out of revenge and despair, when it sees the hopes of a restored empire over the South gone, it will proclaim emancipation ! For a weary twelve month Mr. LINCOLN and his Cabinet have endea voured to woo back the South with promises of not meddling with slavery, and of helping them to catch fugitives, at the risk of many free men being caught also. Now, the lover of the Slave States and their slavery—finding all his advances rejected—finding that they will not have him and his tariffs at any price, turns round and says, "Then, I'll do you all the harm I can in parting from you. I'll proclaim freedom for your slaves." This is nothing but the unvar nished truth of the case. Mr. LINCOLN and his friends, perhaps, blinded even their own eyes to the real character of their twelvemonths' speeches and acts, but they have all come to this--" The Union and Slavery." We cannot sympathise with this. But, again—will the South be such fools as to let Mr. LINCOLN play this last game ? Mr. TOOMBS, of Georgia, significantly observed, when adverting to Northern threats of emancipation—" We, too, hold emancipation in our hands." And, indeed, the South does. If it comes to the question, —shall we emancipate our own slaves, or let the North do it for us,—the Southerners will not show the skill they have done hitherto, if they hesitate longer. Were they freemen, the slaves, there is every reason to think, would prefer their old masters to Northern ones. They hear of the North only as people who make the lives of their coloured brethren there as miserable as they can ; who loathe them far more than Southern masters do, and heap every social indignity upon them. But should the South itself adopt the ultima ratan which the North talks of using, it will be all up for ever with the North, and most righteously so. Nor do we think such an issue improbable. The South, it is now evident, so revolts from tho thought of submission to the North, that it would far sooner liberate every slave than bow again to the Northern yoke. What a pity that it is not given to democrats more than to monarchs to see their true interest. Slaveholders have but one thing to overcome— reluctance to part with ownership of men, and con sequent absolute power—and their independence would be secured. The free labour of their blacks would pay them better than that of slaves; they would lose nothing but the mischievous privilege, the moral injury to themselves, of uncon trolled power over fellow - men. England and France must, if they emancipated their slaves, recognise their Government, and their poli- tical status would then be safe. And not only that, European emigration and capital would soon visit their ports, and aid to people and to reclaim their wildernesses, and they would in a short time become a powarful and greatly elevated people. It would, however, be certainly in no way surprising should the Northern Congress overcome its deep aversion to abolition, if the South took emanci- pation into its own hands. NEW YEAR FEASTS.—On Thursday, the 2d inst., Miss Burdett Coutts entertained at a New Year's dinner more than 300 poor people in the schoolrooms of St. Ste phen's, 'Westminster. The Bishop of llonolulu was pre sent, with several clergymen connected with the Abbey and neighbouring parishes of Westminster. HER MAJESTY'S STAGHOUNDS.—The Royal pck has again appeared in the field, the meet on "Wednesday being at Farnham-common, when the deer Glenridge was selected for the occasion. The noble master was absent, and Mr. Davis and his whips were in mourning for the late Prince Consort. There was a very good field, but the run altogether may be considered indifferent, owing to the re luctance of the stag to leave the woods. The hunt finished, after 21 hours ringing, by Stoke, close to the Beeches at Burnham, the stag being taken at Fulmer. PEMBROKE GARRIS ON.—A battery of the 4th brigade Royal Artillery arrived at Pembroke on the 31st ult. from Plymouth, and took possession of the fortified barraehs. They were accompanied from the landing place —Hot bs'-point pier—by the drums of the depot battalion. They came by the Great Western and South Wales Rail ways. The other fortresses en the haven still remain with out troops, notwithstanding the critical aspect of political affairs. With reference to the public meeting which bad been announced to be held at the Mansion-house on the subject of a proposed memorial to his late Royal Highness the Prince Consort, the Lord, Mayor, finding that many influential persons who would desire to take part in the measure aro unavoidably absent from town at this sea son, has been advised to p ostpone the meeting for tho present. DA GLORIA, the late amiable young King DOM PEDRO V.—three of these Five Princes, namely King PEDRO V., the Infante Dom FERNANDO, and the Infante DOM JoAo, have been carried off by their unlooked-for dissolution. The elder of the two survivors, the youthful reigning Sove reign of Portugal, King Luis, though as yet unscathed by the fatal malady that has thus destroyed three of his young brother, has the grief of knowing that his only remaining brother, the Infante Dom ALTGUSTO, lies still pro strated by it upon a bed of sickness. His Majesty being, meanwhile, compelled by the loyal solicitude in his behalf of his dismayed" subjects, to quit, at any rate for the time being, the fatal palace in which those lamentable incidents having occurred with such appalling rapidity. With reason, therefore, might the Emperor NAPO LEON utter on New Year's Day in his Palace of the Tuileries the aspiration for brighter times both for Princes and Peoples : remembering the sorrows brought to both in 1861 by Death alone —among other places—in England, Turkey, China, Ger many, and Portugal.

NEW YORK, DEC. 21. The latest despatches received from Washington all agree in stating that Lord Lyons has not yet presented any official demands to Mr. Seward on the Trent question. The New York Tinges and the Herald both state that Messrs. Mason and Slidell will be delivered up to England. The Herald, however, in an angry article, says that when the rebellion is crushed, outstanding accounts against England can then better be settled ,han now. The New York World states that the general impression in Wash ington is that the matter will be amicably settled, and adds, there are signs whioh indicate that the subject will be referred to the ar bitrament of all maritime nations, but Messrs. Mason and Slidell will not be surrendered under any circumstances. There still exists a feverish under-current of popular feeling on the question; but nothing deci sive can be ascertained, whether Lord Lyons has made any demands, or what the demands are. A strong impression prevails that the matter will not lead to a war. It is reported that among the papers transmitted to the Senate on Mexican affairs, there is the project of a treaty between America and Mexico, which provides that the Federal Government shall pay 11,000,000 dols. to Mexico, to be applied to the satisfaction of the English and French claims, in return for the grant to America of commercial pri vileges and the right of transit across Mexican territory for troops and munitions of war. It is thought that the Senate will confirm this treaty. No mention is made of a settlement of the Spanish elaims. It is stated in Knight's Circular that the cotton from Beaufort will be sold at public auction, and that the quantity from that city can only be very limited. ROME, JAN. 1. To-day being Now Year's-day, General Goyon presented the French officers to the Pope, and in the name of the officers and soldiers whom he com manded, offered the customary congratulations to his Holiness. General Goyon spoke of the devotion with which they were inspired towards the Pope, and asked his Holiness to grant them the Apostolic benedic- The Pope thanked General Goyon for the senti ments he had expressed, and hoped that the pre sence of the French soldiers at Rome would not per mit the fulfilment of any irreligious or impolitic act. The Pope concluded by bestowing the Apostolic benediction on the Emperor of the French, the Im perial family, and the whole French army. BERLIN, lAN. 2. Yesterday being New Year's-day, Gen. Wrangel, in the name of the Prussian army, presented the customary congratulations to the King. His Majesty, in reply, said,—" I am convinced that the army knows what sentiments I entertain towards it. Pi ussia can calmly behold whatever events may arise from the state of things in non- European countries, because her army stands ready, firm, and armed." In replying to the congratulations of the Minis ters, His Majesty mentioned the heavy losses which the royal house had to lament, and said,—" The past year has been marked by many sad events. The year now commencing has likewise a serious aspect, because the state of things in Germany, in Europe, and, in fact, in the whole world, presents eventualities the possible development of which renders it our duty to be prepared, and to stand united together, and this shall certainly bci done." RUSSIA. ST. PETERSBURG, DEC. 27. By accounts received here overland, via Siberia, it appears that Russia is at present attempting to found a second Sebastopol in the North Pacific Ocean. In the Straits of Corea are to be found two little islands, called North and South Tsu sim a , geographically belonging to the Japanese Archi pelago, and subject from time immemorial to the Empire of Japan. They are separated from each other by a sound, enclosing a capacious bay, with excellent anchorage, and snugly sheltered from every possible wind. Though small, these islands are densely populated, to the amount, it is said, of more than thirty thousand, and the inhabitants are a civilised, peaceable, and industrious race, producing most beautiful manufactures, in which LATEST NEWS. (Per the Anglo-Saxon, tja Portland and London- It is reported that Lord Lyons has had several informal interviews with Mr. Seward, but that no official communication on the subject of the Trent affair has yet passed between them. It is rumoured that Mr. Seward sent a commu nication to the British Government previous to the receipt of the Europa's advices. The belief in a pacific solution is universal. The New York _Herald and Times state that Messrs. Mason and Slidell will be surrendered. The World, however, says they will not. A treaty between America and Mexico is re ported to have been subjected to Congress, by which the Federal Government agrees to pay Mexico 11,000,100 dols. to satisfy the British and French claims. Mexico is to grant America commercial privi leges, and permission to transport troops across the Mexican territory. NEW YORK, DEC. 20, AFTERNOON. A battle is reported in Missouri, in which 1,300 Confederates, finding themselves surrounded by the Federal Forces, surrendered, with their baggage anti equipments. Reports are current that the Confederates have evacuated Galveston. Vice-President Stephens, of the Southern Con. feder acy, is said to be seriously ill. General Ville's projected Federal expedition from Beaufort has been abandoned. 120,0001b5, of Sea Island cotton have arrived at New York from Beaufort; 400,0001 b. more are reported ready to be shipped. t hey carry on an extensive and lucrative trade with Yeddo, where these articles are held in great esti mation. The soil is fruitful and well cultivated, the climate deliciously mild and remarkably healthy. This favoured spot is governed by a Japanese Daimio, who resides at the town and port of Fatcha ; and, though appointed by the Government, and paying allegiance to the Tykoon, he is placed in a very independent position from the great distance to the capital. Whilst Admiral Sir James Hope was lately taking a cruise in her Majesty's ship Ringdove, having heard favourable accounts of the natural advantages and capabilities of these islands, and their sheltered harbour, he determined to look in there, and he did so; but it was with the greatest wonder and astonishment that, on doubling the cape that shuts out the sea from view, he found there three Russian frigates at anchor, who seemed to have made themselves quite as much at home in the island as if they were at Cronstadt. Bustle and activity prevailed everywhere on shore, boats were drawn up on the beach and undergoing repairs, stores were being landed and warehoused, sailors were exercising with small arms, and to crown all, the imperial flag of Russia was floating from the summit of the buildings, which were separated from the native town and surrounded by strong de fensive works. When Sir James inquired into the particulars of this new Russian establishment, he was informed that they had asked permission of the Daimio to repair their boats on shore and build a house for the better accommodation of their sick people, which had been readily granted; but it appears that the repairs of their boats were never finished and their invalids never got well, though looking remarkably healthy ; and the one building originally intended for the hospital had gradually increased to several, which were well fortified, and whose occupants —even when the frigates were out cruising —were strong and numerous enough to overawe the native inhabitants and keep them in check. The Russians acknowledged all this, but added that they had orders from their admiral, who was gone to Japan, to remain in that harbour till his return, though they were unable to say when, or if ever, this would happen. The fact is that Russia views with anxiety and jealousy the daily increasing influence and com merce of England in China and Japan, and as she cannot openly compete with British enterprise, she has recourse to this underhand way of pushing for ward her advanced posts. It may here be stated that Tsu-sima is not one of the ports of Japan opened by treaty for foreign trade,and still less for the admission of European ships of war, and by thug occupying the island under such a specious pretext, Russia may not only provoke the animosity of Japan but exasperate the people of that country against all European rations generally, which in the pre sent excited state of the population and their de cided wish to back out of their engagements, and shut themselves up again from the rest of the world as was the case previous to the conclusion of the treaties, is a thing to be avoided as much as pos sible, and especially by using the utmost caution not to give that jealous nation of Japan any fresh cause of complaint. Were such an event to occur, Russia would have little or nothing to lose, her commercial relations with Japan being of a very trifling nature and in considerable value ; but in case of a war she would be in possession of a very important position, which might easily be rendered impregnable by a little engineering talent and Russian military skill. She would have in this advanced post a formidable strategic advantage, within easy distance of her own ports on the Amoor, from which she could re ceive her supplies of stores and ammunition, whilst the sheltered security of the bay affords the most desirable facilities for a coal depot, and a convenient point of rendezvous for her ships of war, from which they might with great facility undertake offensive operations in Japan, and as easily retire, in case of need, to refit their vessels and take on board fresh stores of ammunition, coals, provisions, and water. It is impossible to ascertain whether Russia really entertains any such deep laid plans of ambition and future aggrandisement ; but as such a course of proceeding would be quite in harmony with the his tory of her traditional policy, it is not beyond the range of possibility or even probability. It can, therefore, only be considered in the light of a pub lic benefit to give open warning, and allow other nations to place themselves on their guard, as fore warned is forearmed,—Daily .Noss.
