THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING JULY 2i, 1862.

the whole House. Where were the other mem-
bers of the Government t Except Mr. Mti.waa
GIBBON, not a single member of the Cabinet was
present, and his vote in support of his colleague
was neutralized by that of Sir ROBERT PEEL, who
went into the opposite lobby. Now this is no
light question on which Government could afford
to be indifferent. The Home Szcarrutv is the
Minister charged with the preservation of the
peace of the country, with the direction of the
police, and with the superintendence of the
administration of j ustiow Here, on a
question intimately affecting all these func-
tions, he was surely entitled to the support
of the Ministry of which he is a member. He
stated his opinion that in everyone of these de-
partments the nation would suffer injury if this
Bill should pass, and yet Government not only
makes no effort to oppose it, but does not take
the trouble to come down to vote against it, and
even allows some of its subordinates to give it sup-
port. This is indifferentism with a vengeance.
But in this, too, there is perhaps matter for
congratulation. We have ascertained at last that
Lord Psutzawron's Ministry is not only deter-
mined not to go forward, but is perfectly ready to
go backward. We know now that its chiefs are.
less liberal than Mr. HENLEY and Lord STANLEY,
that they are quite willing to submit the Civis
Romans to the enactment, as the former well put
it, of an Arms Bill in England, and to legalize the
search, by a common constable, of the person of man
or woman found out of doors after dark, provided
they can thus secure the better stocking of the
preserves of Broadlands, or of the moors of Mr.
Bess, where, we are told, the PREMIER is to enjoy
this year his well-earned autumnal repose. Such
is the knowledge we have gained; the time to im-
prove it will speedily come.

THE untoward and menacing rumour to which
the Patric of last evening gave a sinister promi-
nence among its "Latest News," must be received
with all the suspicion and distrust which any semi-
official journal of the French Empire, no less
than the Muniteur itself, so well deserves. In what
degree the Pattie is a semi-official organ, or whose
inspirations among the many rival candidates for
Imperial favour it may be supposed to follow, we
are not inclined to investigate. There is, we are
aware, .sort of MAiwrznon influence, which, in the
absence of the EMPEROR at Vichy, may be
nervously busy at St. Cloud. There is the more
generous PERSIGNY influence, but M. DE Pea-
SIONY is, we believe, taking the waters somewhere
out of reach of the cares of State ; there is the
WALEWSKI influence, the THOUVENEL influence,
the LA Guntitonnivaz influence, and the DR
MORNY influence ; and the PALM; ROYAL
influence. Among these the Papal party
counts its agents, and the cause of Italy its
advocates. But the nett result of all is a systematic
mystification, an habitual insincerity, a passion for
duplicity for its own sake. The Pattie once upon
a time was a warm friend of Italy—in the sense of
subserviency to France ; now it is the ardent
champion of the temporal power of the POPE. For
the Szcorro EMPIRE, Italy is at once a footstool
and a wsshpot. The thought of an united Italy
really independent and complete in ita unity has
never yet entered into the Imperial counsels, and
the consequence of a policy wonderfully adroit
and versatile is, that between the Papacy despoiled
and Italy deceived the Emperor of the FRENCH
has lost the advantages of a ten years' league with
the priests, and by playing false to the proclama-
tion of Milan has failed to make amends through
the glorious sacrifices of Magenta and Solferino for
the disgraceful victories of the Roman expedition
in 1849. Consistent bad faith is fitly rewarded
with the hatred and contempt of an exasperated
clergy, and a deluded nation. At Milan, in 1859,
the Emperor of the FRENCH was paying compli-
ments, by proxy, to GARIBALDI, and even anxious
for an interview with that redoubtable Chief
of the Cacciatori, whose valour, whether as
ally or enemy, French soldiers had learned to
respect. But odiese quern laseris is true of Empe-
rors who betray towards patriots who remember.
There is no love lost between the man who de-
fended Rome in 1849 and the man who took
away his birthplace by way of payment for the
Peace of Villafranca. Under these circumstances,
we may be sure that when the Patric, under
whatever dictation, reports that GARIBALDI is
Contemplating a descent on the nomad +•t at the
head of 6,000 Volunteers, that six steam-frigates
have been sent to intercept him at sea, and troops
despatched to the frontier to seize him when he
lands, the wish of the Patric is father to the report
of such a movement. That the rumour ia, for the
present at least, a fiction, we earnestly hope and
trust ; the result of any chance collision between
Italian Volunteers and French troops could in
no case be other than disastrous to Italy. The
heart of Liberal France, it is true, beats still wish
GARIBALDI, as it did in the ill-omened summer of
'49 ; but if Republican France cannot forge. that
PAUL DE FLorrz died a soldier's death by the
side of GARIBALDI, Imperialist France—witness
Mexico—prefers the glory of unrighteous arms
to all considerations of the justice of a cause.
GARIBALDI'S known attachment to the KING would
not permit him to compromise the relations of the
Government with the K ifro's nearest Ally, and with
other friendly Powers. In spite of the Patric, we
are persuaded that GARIBALDI will bear and for-
bear yet awhile ; though we are far from being
convinced that the whole danger of hopes deferred,
and of expectations again and again excited and
deceived, is for Italy ; or that GARIBALDI, with
Italy and the Revolution at his back, will ever
sink to be a consenting and contented dupe.

cured during 1861 was 668,828] barrels, the total quantity
branded 265,347 barrels, and the total quantity exported
390,3131 barren, being a decraue from the preceding year
of 12,3643 barrels in the total quantity cured, but as is-
crease of 33,4334 barrels in the quantity branded, and of
12,3431 in the quantity exported. In the cod end liag
department, the returns show that in the year 1861
82,3443 cwt.. were cured dried, sod 4,145) barrels cured in

the year 1861 12,961 boats, manned by 42,751 fishermen and
boys, wen employed in the herring and sod and ling
fisheries ; and that the total estimated vales of the boats,
nets, and lines employed is these fisheries in the suss
period wee 783,0371., being an increase over the preceding

NEW ROYAL MAUSOLEUM AT WINDSOR. —The
mausoleum, now in the course of erection in the royal
grounds, Frogmore, and which is intended to receive the
remains of the late Prince Consort, is situated about EX)
yards from that of the late Duchess of Kent. A more
secluded spot could not have been selected, the site
being surrounded by many different species of flowering
shrubs and trees of a large growth, while close by is a
bemitiful specimen of the deciduous cypress, the dark
st•adcs of which will contrast well with the stones
of the tomb. The building is being erected from
the designs and under the superintendence of Mr. A.
J. Humbert, the architect, and consists of a central cell
with four transepts branching north, south, east, and west,
with a porch adjoining the western transept. The whole
floor is supported by brick vaults of massive work, which at
the same time form chambers, with loopholes for the pur-
poses of ventilation and the preventiou of damp rising to
the superstructure. They are entered by a small flight of 1
stone steps. The central cell will be lighted by three light',
semiercular-headed windows in the clerestory, which will
be externally decorated with Aberdeen granite shafts and
heads. The copper roof of the central cell (which is octa-
gonal on plan) rime from the wall heads to the apex
with a Het pitch in the manner of an Italian campanile,
and will be surmounted with • gilt cross. Under
this roof will be the sarcophagus for the remains of the
Prince Consort. The reclining statue of the Prince
will be executed by Barun Marochetti. The building
is in the Italian style, reminding one of the campanili
at Pim. As the erection stands upon • base of concrete 6ft.
in thickness, there is a very little probability that the sym-
metry of the mausoleum will be marred by settlements. The
erection, which is 70ft. in length and the name in height,
will be adorned by several statues. The foundation stone,
which was laid by her Majesty the Queen, bears the follow-
ing inscription, ' The foundation stone of this building,
erected by Queen Victoria in pions remembrance of her
great and good husband, was laid by her on the 15th day of
Yareb. A.D. 1862. 'Blessed are they that sleep in the
Lord.'
