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
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 war,
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. Wel
shall now see whether universal suffrage and the]
ballot will or will not compel property to. pay more
' than its fair share of the war taxes.

As to the question of war the turn is in all re-
spects on the hopeful side. Financial embarrass-
ment can but counsel peace; the threats of the New 11
Fork Herald not in any way representing Northern
sentiments. They are but the ravings of a pipe)
in the Southern interest, desirous because its direct
advocacy of the South was stopped by Lynch Law
threats, to serve it indirectly by creating enmit3
betweLn the North and England. It is singular
also that we know by these telegrams two facts,
either of which would seem to facilitate the release
of the prisoners.

Mr. SEWARD declined to receive, in June, the
despatches of the French and English Governments
which assumed the belligerent position of the South.
Hence the Commissioners were, to the North, but
political fugitives, and cannot be claimed under
international law. Next, we observe, that Con-
gress has passed a resolution in favour of an ex-
change 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 the
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.

THE SUN.
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-
signed 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 al
Royal Interment. Ever since the afflicting intelli-'
gence of the premature death of his Royal High-
ness was first spread abroad upon those wings of
swiftness proverbialllycarrying ill news far and wide,

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 out
the statement that we received the tidings of Cap
tain WILKES'S exploit with calmness, This was'
quite true; but so different was a judicial kind of
feeling to any which the Yankees themselves would
have indulged that they had expected much more
unfavourable news. Their expectations, however,
show what their own consciences tell them ; and
tong before now they have understood that
our respect for law does not interfere with
but rather strengthens, our determination'
when we know that law is on the sides
of national instinct. They have also found
by this time that France certainly agrees with
England, and must be aware that persistence would
isolate them among the maritime Powers of the
world. What would they now not give to have
acted at first like men of honour, to have disavowed
the act of Captain WILKES instead of commending
him through the Navy Board and the House of
Representatives, and to have placed the Commission.
ers under the flag of the British Embassy l The time.
for the most honourable surrender is, however, past
—it will now have to be made, because they cannot
resist the physical force of England, and the moral
Force of the judgment of the civilised world. We'
shall have no doubt a long discourse on international
law from Mr. SEWARD, but a deficiency of
£43,000,000, an English fleet, and a French legal
hostile decision will dictate to the American Foreign
Secretary his final reply.

the emotions awaked in the people's hearts have
been—not those of a merely loyal sympathy with
the QUEEN in her great and irreparable bereave-
ment, but rather it has been so with each and all
of us we believe it might be said with literal truth
in the words—emotions of profound and earnest
personal participation in the sorrow of
her MAJESTY and the Royal children. It is the

MEETING OF PARLIAMENT.—It is understood in
official quarters that Parliament will " meet for the despatch

prorogued until Tuesday, the 7th of January.

His Highness the Maharajah Dhuleep Singh,l
accompanied by Colonel Oliphant, arrived at Clatidge's
Hotel yesterday from Mulgrave Castle to attend the funeral
!of his late Royal Highness the Prince Consort this day ati
I Windsor.

FUNERAL OF THE PRINCE
CONSORT.

WINDSOR, MONDAY. t,.
The funeral of the late Prince Consort took placJi,
to..day amidst universal sorrow and regret. The:,
appearance of the town was that of the deepest .
mourning, the busy hum of business was hushed, •'.
and the deathlike silence of the place was only
broken by the solemn tolling of the funeral bells..
and the deep, dull booming of the guns fired by the
artillery at the top of the Long Walk at Windsor
Park.
As far as possible all funeral pomp and ceremony:
was dispensed with, although from the very large
number of attached and personal friends, the
melancholy cortege was one of great magnitude.
Barriers had been erected on Castle-hill to avoid.,
lany confusion that might arise from the number of
persons expected there, and so in other parts of the
town, but the spectators, although very large in
number, seemed too much in grief to cause the -;
slightest inconvenience.
The exterior and interior of St. George's Chapel
were hung with black cloth; and the arrangements,
were similar to those carried out at the burial of
her late Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, with
the exception that there was a carriage procession 31
from the Castle to St. George's Chapel. It will bef
recollected that the body of the Duchess of Kent
was privately conveyed from Frogmore during they.
previous night to await the ceremony of the follow-
ing day, but the body of the Prince Consort re-
mained iu the private apartments of her Majesty 1.1
at the Castle until the time appointed for the '2:7
'.. funeral in the Royal Chapel. 1
The carriage procession from :the Castle to St. -'
George's Chapel was of the simplest description,
the only circumstance in which it differed from the,
ordinary melancholy cortege was in the heraldriet,
ornamentations of the hearse and the trappings of ~
the horses ; but within the Chapel the sight was of
the most solemn character, and as the coffin was
being lowered in the grave the distant sound of the .
guns firing was heard within the sacred edifice.
The service for the burial of the dead was read .
by the Dean of Windsor.
The following is the order in which the proces- ;
sion quitted the Castle, and the proceedings within
•• St. George's Chapel :
