LONDON, MONDAY, DEC. 23, 1861. Before our impression of to-day can reach the public eye all that is mortal of his Royal High- ness the PRINCE CONSORT will have been con Eigned to the tomb. The honour due to the memory of the august Husband of the SOVE REIGN will have been paid, and that with far more than the mere funereal pomps and pageants of a Royal Interment. Ever since the afflicting intelli genee of the premature death of his Royal High tress was first spread abroad upon those wings o swiftness proverbialllyearrying ill news far and wide, the emotions awaked in the people's hearts have, been—not th ose o f a mere l y l oya l sympathy the QUEEN in her great and irreparable bereaved ment, but rather it has been so with each and al of us we believe it might be said with literal truth in th© words—emotions of profound and earnest personal participation in the sorrow of her MAJESTY and the Royal children. It is the memory of the Great Prince, of course, that the! among all the responsible subjects of the Crown lwho has more nobly, more admirably acquitted himself of every one of his responsibilities than thisl 1 gentle-hearte d and rarely gifted Prince, over] whose sepulture we have this day been mourning with—remembering our loss—only too much !reason P Yesterday, S u nd a y, b e i ng th e eve o f th e Funeral !of his Royal Highness, was natural enough selected iin most of our metropolitan churches as a fitting occasion for the expression of thy' popular sentiments, under this dire calamity, from the pulpit. Preachers unnumbered availed them selves with comprehensible eagerness of this most mournful but most tempting opportunity. Had we space we might readily enough select many fragmentary evidences of that truest eloquence of all, the eloquence born of strong emotion—eloquence l that thrilled to many a heart and brought tears to many an eye yesterday during the delivery of these impressive Oraisons Funebres. If anything in the way of human sympathy can assuage the bitterness of the dire affliction that has now befallen the Queen of England, her MAJESTY has that earthly aid in the midst of a great sorrow, now, in unmea sured abundance. Throughout the past week the partial closing of all the shops in this vast metro polis has given external and visible evidence in the streets of the universal feelings of grief excited among all ranks and classes of the population by j the thunderbolt of affliction that, at a moment when most unlooked for, has fallen upon the Royal Family and upon the Loyal Nation. During the whole of this present day, the melancholy date' selected for the interment of the remains 1 I of the late PRINCE CONSORT, London has; attested yet more signally by its outward aspect the heartfelt sorrow of its three million inhabi tants. The vast majority of the principal shops land places of public business have been sponta lneously, and by one accord, closed altogether. The exceptional few not entirely closed this morning— ; in many instances unavoidably—have been, at any rate, partially closed. The blinds in most of the private houses have been drawn down—as though there had been a death in each. At every avail able church tower there has fluttered a flag half way down the flagstaff. The funeral peal has been tolling to-day with monotonous regu larity from every church-tower. The Great Bell or bourdon of St. Paul's Cathedral has boomed its melancholy note above them all. The Park guns, while we write, are firing at doleful intervals. And all down the River, and among the shipping in the Pool, and away along either bank down to the mingling of the fresh current of the Thames with the briny waters of the Channel, and all round the coastline of these islands, the flags have been fluttering, as upon our steeple flag staves, half-mast high. Towards the close of the actual ceremonial of the Funeral this afternoon in St. George's Chapel, at Windsor, immediately after the Coffin had been lowered to it: appointed place at the entrance of the Royal Vault, according to a grand old knightly custom that has come down to us from the ages of chivalry, Garter I King.at-Arms (Sir CHARLES YOUNG), after reciting the magnificent style and titles of the dead Prince, Consort of the Queen of ENGLAND, Duke of Sax( Coburg and Gotha, Serene Highness by birth, Royal Highness by adoption, Knight of the Garter, Knight of the Thistle, Knight of St. Patrick, Knight Grand 'Cross of the Batb, Knight Grand C ross o f th e Legion of Honour, Knight of the Black Eagle. Knight of the Golden Fleece, &c. &e., Chancel for of the Duchy of Cornwall, Chancellor of the 'University of Cambridge, Master of the Trinity House, Field Marshal, Colonel of the Grena dier Guards, Constable of Windsor Castle, Range] of Windsor Park, D.C.L., LL.D., F.R.S., &c. &c.— Garter Principal King at Arms, after recounting the whole stately catalogue, took to-day the symbolical wand of office, and breaking it into two or three pieces, flung the fragments after the coffin down in the cavernous grave yawt ing at his feet! Sic Transit Gloria Ulundi. So fleet ing and perishable are all the grandeurs of this world. Yet—as in the instance of the august Prince whose Death we are yet lamenting in the full bitterness of our early grief—whenever there is remembered of the illustrious Dead a long list 'of great and solemn duties nobly done, the wand of his earthly state may be broken over his grave and flung into it as the Dust is scattered upon his coffin lid by the hand of Religion, but even from his grave, even though in Death he wields the unbroken sceptre of his Memory over our affections. Throughout his' life ALBERT, the Prince Consort of England, enjoyed the respect and attachment of the subjects of the great Constitutional SOVEREIGN of whom he was the beloved and revered Husband. In Death—that Respect and Attachment are now enhanced to a lasting Love and Gratitude. nation has been this day lamenting—but beyondl Though we have not this morning from Americ a that also, it is the memory likewise of a T rue and the news we all so anxiously look f or , we y e t h ave Devoted Husband, of a T en d er and Admirable' news whose importance, if we m i s t a k e no t, can Father. Immediately u p on th e espousa l o f th e young 7 hardly be exaggerated.

Increased duties on sugary O tea, and coffee stand at the head of the list. Every' family will feel them; what he expects from them is not mentioned. Then follows a list which will t I assimilate the model republic to the old monarchy,' in regard to the taxation—the exciseman and the" ~: c stamp office are to be called into full play, stills and, distilled liquors, tobacco, bank-notes, legacies,' -4.- 't"carriages, and—nefandum, PAPER—are to be" G. ill subjected to the demands of the tax-; :., , collector. Paper—can it be ? The enlightened," 't'►the educated, the intelligent republic taxing know -1 ledge ! What will our eloquent friend at Rochdale ,1 '-! 1 say ? Can it it be that universal suffrage, the bal- i ; lot, and equal apportionment of members will con-1 1' sent to a tax on paper ? We fear even Mr BRIGHT'S confidence in the wisdom of the many • will be shaken if they allow Mr. CHASE to go on with this part of the scheme. What, moreover, will the penny and halfpenny sheets, which are the ad visors of American rowdyism, and which at present are so poor in quality that they will barely passl through the machine, and not bear rough handling, what will they all say to a tax which will either rob the editor, or impoverish the paper till the print is hardly legible ? Of the deficiency of forty-three millions, Mr. CHASE proposes to raise thirty millions by ei Federal paper currency to supersede the present Bank currency. The security is to be United States; Stock, and the notes are to be redeemable in coi:1 on presentation. We wait for the details ; but if the Government has to retain, as it must,i even when no panic is pending, one-third of; the amount in cash for business purposes, this} would cut down largely at once what Mr. CHASE hopes for from this source. It remains also to be seen, how the Banks will like their present issue ol paper to be superseded by that of the Government. Mr. CHASE reckons, however, that by a loan of £10,000,000 and other devices for the remaining! fourteen million dollars, he shall make up the de ficiency. The whole scheme strikes us as hypo./ therial and uncertain to the last degree. The Gai t vernment paper, the loans, and the result of the taxes are all exposed to so many causes! of uncertainty that if he carries his plan in its integrity we should expect to find in Italy a heavy deficiency. We are not surprised to read that the report does not receive much favour in financial circles. The broad view of the position of things is in-1 structive enough to our American friends. Some: glimpse of what their financial position is to be if the war of secession lasts begins to open upon them. By July, 1863, at the present rate of ex penditure, the national debt will, according to Mr., CHASE'S calculation, be close upon—no doubt it will exceed—two hundred millions sterling. While i already there is nothing before them but deficien cies, taxes producing far less than was reckoned! on, and Government paper, perhaps to:become little! better than assignats. Meantime that angel of wad the taxgather, is to visit the hitherto lightly taxed Northerners in every shape, to interfere with' their business, to decimate their luxuries. and to cut and hew at their incomes. The prospect is a gloomy one for the sovereign electors. We shall now see whether universal suffrage and the ballot will or will not compel property to pay mor€ than its fair share of the war taxes. FUNERAL OF THE PRINCE As to the question of war the turn is in all speets on the hopeful side. Financial embarrassH went can but counsel peace; the threats of the Neu l York herald not in any way representing Northern sentiments. They are but the ravings of a paper in the Southern interest, desirous because its direct advocacy of the South was stopped by Lynch Law threats, to serve it indirectly by creating enmiti betwec n the North and England. It is singular ilso that we know by these telegrams two facts, l,either of which would seem to facilitate the release of the prisoners. CONSORT. Mr. SEWARD declined to receive, in June, thc despatches of the French and English Governments which assumed the belligerent position of the Soutb. Hence the Commissioners were, to the North, bni political fugitives, and cannot be claimed uncle] international law. Next, we observe, that Con grass has passed a resolution in favour of an ex ehange of prisoners. In that case the Commissioners would no doubt be amongst the first exchanged , and the Confederates must be recognised as bel ligerents by the very act of exchange. It may, per haps, be doubted whether the South, aware of thc advantage of keeping the North in hot water with England, and able to allege that the Commissioners were not prisoners of war, but of illegal violence. would accept them in the former capacity. They will expect to get their release in a much more Advantageous manner. At New York they had just received news from England by a steamer which sailed the day after the news of the outrage arrived here. She took ou the statement that we received the tidings of Cap min WILKES'S exploit with calmness. This war quite true; but so different was a judicial kind o! reeling to any which the Yankees themselves would have indulged that they had expected much mort infavourable news. Their expectations, however, chow what their own consciences tell them ; and I ,', WINDSOR, MONDAY. 7 ‘ i The funeral of the late Prince Consort took place ~.to..day amidst universal sorrow and regret.

Mason and Slid 'jell on board the Trent, a vessel belonging tc the same company as the Teviot. Of all the precedents quoted in our favour none appears tc apply so much to the case in point as this. It justifies in every respect the conduct of the captain of the San Jacinto, and gives additional force to the reported decision of the law officers of the Crown with respect to the right of search, which we published yesterday. If, indeed, the British Government feel any disposition to quarrel with this country, th e y w ill b e una bl e to fi nd a suff i Liaent pretext in the action of Captain Wilkes 'rid even had he gone further than In lid, and seized the Trent, as well as the robe -raissaries, he would have been justified under the circumstances, for Mason and Slidell were contra band of war, and known to be such by the eeptain of the steamer. But England has toe many exposed interests at stake to risk a rupture with the United States, even apart from the ques tion of right. We have therefore ample guarantee for her future good behaviour, Canada is within a little more than two days' railway ride of half a million of armed men, and has a frontier that cars lifer no resistance to the march of an invading force from the United States. Moreover we have our own 'ormidable and rapidly increasing naval armaments bristling before her eyes; and she well knows that hostile interference with us would involve the loss of tier immense trade with the North. She will conse quently, we may rest assured, be in no hurry to embroil herself in another American difficulty; for' if she does the destiny of her power on this conti eent is predetermined." The .21 T eto York limes of the 9th instant, in an' I article on the affair of the Nashville, says : "While awaiting for a day or two the news of the manner in which the Trent affair has been received in England, we have a most profitable study in the oew revelation of the mysteries of British neutrality eresented by the case of the rebel steamer Nash ville. If it had been given us to control events so is to prepare England for the reception of the news )f our seizure of Mason and Slidell, we would hardly lave done otherwise than ask that this transaction heuld take place, and that it would evoke the very ), inions it has evoked. Whatever might be the bel igerent rights of the Nashville to seize United States vessels, she entered Southampton as a pirate, after having, in the fece of international law, wantonly iestroyed her capture. There can be but one result if Mr. Adams acts with adequate vigour, the con fiscation of the lawless enemy of commerce, Thi l aearing of this cas e o n th e a ff a i r o f t h e T rent is s' )bvious, It is ev id en t th e E ng li s h cons id er their - I;onduct affords us, as it does, just ground of com plaint, if it does not present a cams belli ; even so i -iiat it is not at all unlikely the British Goaernmentp will be very willing to qui e tly ma k e t h e one cast !.' in offset to the other."

PARIS, DEC. 21. The Temps of this evening asserts that a despatch has arrived in London from Mr. Seward, replying to a communication from Earl Russell on the sub ject of neutral rights. "In this despatch," says the Temps, " Mr. Seward assures Earl Russell that the Cabinet of I Washington, faithful to its past policy, is ready to guarantee to neutrals every facility compatible with the rights of belligerents, and that satisfaction will loyally be given by the Federal Government in case an infraction of the rule adopted in common should take place. " This despatch, although bearing a date anterior to that of the English ultimatum, was written after the arrest of the Confederate commissioners became known in America." TURIN, DEC. 21. In the Chamber of Deputies to-day a letter from Signor Ratazzi was read, thanking the Chamber t'or the reso:ution expressive of its wish that he should retain the pest of President, and withdraw ing his resignation. Count Bastogi then made his financial statement. After enumerating the measures which had been taken to improve the public credit, he stated that the ordinary deficit in 186! amounted to 400,000,000 lire, and that the deficit in 1862 was estimated at 317,000,000 lire. Deducting, however, the sum of 63,000,000 lire obtained by the alienation of :35,000,000 of Neapolitan and 28,000,000 of Sicilian Etente, and also part of the proceeds of the last national loan, the deficit in 1862 would be reduced to 159,000,000 lire. The Minister proposed to cover this deficit by means of several new taxes, which he estimated would yield 139,000,000 lire. His estimate in detail is as follows : Lire. Registration fee Duties on salt and tobacco Duties on other necessaries Railways Land tax 25,000,000 Duties on wines and other beverages.. 20,000,000 Tax on negotiable securities 30,000,000 Total The balance of 20,000,000 lire. he said, might be covered by a fresh issue of Treasury bonds, the amount of those already in circulation being only 36,000,000 lire. After remarking that in 1830 the French finances were in a more unsatisfactory state, and pointing out the great latent resources of Italy, her domains, railways, and other sources of natural wealth, the Kinister concluded by calling upon the Chamber to vote the proposed n ew t axes , an d t h us re - es t a bli s h !the public credit, which the enemies of the country were endeavouring to shake. (Loud applause.) TURIN, DEC. 21 (Evening). An extraordinary sitting of the Chamber of De puties was held this evening, in which the budget was provisionally approved by 202 against 39 votes. The financial statement of Count Bastogi has pro duced a very good impression.
