REMARKS

There was an increase again this week in the
number of cattle and large increase in the nun
Der of Sheep and Lambs. Beef did not sell as
manning sold at Sc per cwt., and we saw one lot
that was almost as good as the best, sold for
S. 81 per cwt: One pair sold by the head was
estimated to cost the butcher Sc 50. Sheep and
Lambs sold well-last weeks advance fully sus
tanned. One lot of %, mostly old selected,
weight about 40 lbs, sold for 81 so per head;
another lot of 100, about the same quality,
weight 100 lbs, sold for So 10 per head; other
lots same as quotations.

The decease of the Queens consort, and
the father of her nine children, is solemn
event. not only for her Majesty, but
the people of England. The almost uni.
versal attachment with which she is re-
garded by her subjects extends more or
less to all the members Of the royal family
Her marriage with Prince Albert was popularity
regarded as national blessing; for the union
was one productive Of much of that domestic
happiness upon which the affections of the
nation centre. II was considered beautiful
thing to see exalted rank associated with true
wcmanly wcrth-to find an exemplary wife
and good mother in . Queen, and the
pleasures Of home preserved under the
glitter Of crown. The regret that this sove-
reign idol has become widow will be deep
and heartfelt. A knell will be heard in every
English home, and sorrow will be felt such a.
those only who have experienced a great do
nestle affection can imagine. There will be
mourning throughoutthe land.
Prince Albert was respected by all as
q gentleman, an excellent husband and
. kind father. He was, moreover, esteemed
a. one Of the most prominent patrons
Of art, science and agriculture in the
country. He was keen sportsman and the
possessor of varied accomplishment Added
to fine exterior, which at the time of his mar
riage earned for him the reputation of being
the handsomest man in England, his intel
lectual gifts and noble sentiments made him
admired by women and esteemed by mon. A
temporary unpopularity clouded his name dur
ing the progress of tho Crimean war; but
subsequently b entirely recovered It, His
discretion prevented him, as the Queens con-
sort, from at any time publicly interfering in
the affairs Of government, although It is UNI
doubted that his counsels were freely rendered
to the sovereign; and he was one well fitted to
advise.
The effect Of his death will be to bring the
Prince Of Wales more prominently forward in
public life. As heir apparent to the throne, he
will be brought into closer acquaintance with
matters Of State than during the life Of his
father, whose place in the confidence of the
Crown be will to some extent supply. His youth,
however, will, for some time to come, operate
against the value Of his opinions; but his quick
intelligence will rapidly ripen under the favora-
bic auspices of his position, and qualify him in
advance for that throne which is now 80 worthily
occupied by bis mother. The effect of this
sudden bereavement will probably operate
seriously for time upon the Queens hea,th
already much impaired by the shock of her
mothers death, and always requiring a careful
attention TO hygienic rules.
The body of the Prince, before interment
will In all probability lie In state for several

days in Buckingham Palace, when the public
will be admitted to view, after which the fune-
raj will take place with great pomp, the male
portion of the royal family, the army, and all the
high officers of the crown, the foreign ambassa-
doris, and many of the relatives of the Prince,
taking part in the procession, which will pro-
coed by circuitous route to Westminster Hall,
where the burial service will be read and the
body Inferred. The burial service will proba-
bly, be read simultaneously in all the churches
in the kingdom, and general suspension of
business take place. The popular, as well as
the official mind, will be diverted to great ex-
tent from the consideration of a probable war
with the United States, and all hearts will unite
in tribute of sympathy to the widow, of whose
virtues as maid and wife, England has long
been justly proud. And, while thus engaged,
may the event be lesson to that government
and to that people, and impress upon them the
great truth that nations, like individuals, pass
away, and others take their places
Although the English Ministers have sacri
feed forever all hold upon the friendly feelings
Of this country for Great Britain, we may say
that none, perhaps, will entertain warmer
sympathy for Victoria In this period Of her
domestic affection than the people Of the
United States

TIE BLOCKADE AND THE CoTToN CRoP.-Eng-
lish naval officers now pronounce our blockade
efficient. What with our ships-ofwar, our stone
fleets, our gunboats, and our possession of
Hatteras, Hilton Head, Tybee Island and
Ship Island, we should think it ought
to be by this time. Now, then, measures
ought to Be taken to secure the cotton
crop. Underneath her former pretext of an
inefficient blockade, underneath her present
pretext Of a legal technicality, the real reason
Of England's trouble with this country is her
mania for cotton Only BY this cry for
cotton can England secure the sympathy
Of her own working classes in her buster
tQYsrss this Country. Let twenty thou
sand more troops be sent to Port Royal let the
remainder of the Ship Island expedition be hur-
ried of. With these forces, push into the inte-
rior of the South and seize the cotton crop
before it is too late The field is ours if we
will but occupy it. Every days delay makes
cotton more valuable to England, and the
chances Of our selling it more precarious
With cotton and corn we command the world.

The AFFAIR OF riS TRENT AT WAsHINGToN.-
We have as yet NO Interruption from Washington
Of the submission to our government of the ex-
pected ultimatum of England on t6eErent affair.
Lord Lyons, Whatever may be the drift of his
instructions, has evidently no designs Of pre-
cipitate demand and an immediate answer,
peace or war. Doubtless he is deliberately
employed in working up an argument to sup
port his demand, and contemplates liberal
margin of time to Mr.. Seward for reply. If
SO, it is quite possible that, under the quieting
assurance of peace, all public excitement,on the
Trent affair, on both sides of the Atlantic, will
have died out while yet Lord Lyons and Mr..
Sewardare engaged in an exhaustng discussion
Of the subject. Atsll events having exhausted
the case as presented by our English contempt
raries, we are awaiting some movement Of the
waters at Washington.

IMPORTANT Reform IN THE NAvY.-By tele :.
graphic intelligence published in yesterdays
HERALD, we learn that the President has signed
the bill to Promote the Efficiency of the Navy.
The effect Of the bill is to relieve the service of
old fOgies in command of our ships-of-war,
and give chance to the young and enter
prising to rival the deeds of our naval heroes in
our two wars with England.
We trust that henceforth it will be very differ
emit with the United States navy from what il
was with the British navy in the Crimean war.
Admiral Napier, at public dinner in London,
boosted that in three weeks he would be in
Heaven or He'll or Cronstadt. Upon enter
ing the waters Of the Baltic he issued
an order to the seamen to sharpen their
cutlasses. But, on attempting to force his way
through the batteries defending the Russian
stronghold, this fire-eater was so overwhelming
ly repulsed at the first attempt that he did not
venture again. He found his feet was not half
manned Let it not be so with the American
navy. Congress has made liberal provision for
the increase of the navy, and for a powerful
reinforcement of its strength by large num-
Der of iron-cad vessels-of-war Let them be
manned with the right kind of officers and men,
and there can be no doubt about the result of q
naval conflict with any European Power
Had we such navy as we ought to have had
when England sent her demands to us, we could
have afforded to resist them, Notwithstanding
the condition of our country Let both be
put in order, and then, if she should again pro-
woke us to war, she will find foe as worthy of
her steel as she did in the seven years war of
the Revolution, or the three years war in which
our militia taught her veteran regulars, with
their laurels fresh from Spain, lesson at New
Orleans which they have never forgotten,

SI0NALrzE AMERICAN VESSELS OF PROBABLE
WAR-We notice in our European news that
Lord Derby, in his conference with Lord,Pal-
merston, advised that all outgoing English YES
sells should be instructed to signalize all
English ships they meet that ga war with
America is probable" The idea is an ex-
cellent one, and we hope that it will be imme-
diately adopted by our own government. Let
all American vessels, national or merchant be
instructed to inform every American ship met
on the high seas that a war with England is
probable, and that they should prepare for it.
The information will be of invaluable import
ance in the event of war actually being de
clared, and, indeed, in any event.
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1861-12-25

observe how often the English papers speak Of
'ships-of-war, designed for the North American
station, being equipped with heavy guns now
a-days, and report the substitution of Armstrong
sixty and one hundred Founders for the old
fashioned twenty-four and thirty-two pound
guns. We can learn something here from the
enemy. Let our ships-of-war be provided with
new, improved, heavy ordnance of the best
kind as fast as possible. Let our foundries be
set to work to turn out these guns. Extraordi-
nary crises demand extraordinary exertions.
They can work nights and Sundays at the
Tower in England to prepare arms against us
and there is no reason why our foundries should
not be pushed to double labor now also.
ORGANIZE THE NAvY-Whether We are TO
have war with England or not, now is the
time to build up navy. Congress and the adj
ministration should act together in this matter,
and act expeditously. New ships-of-var and
iron-clad batteries should be constructed as
soon and in as great numbers as possible All
of our old vessels-of-war should be taken off
the stocks and put in commission They will
be useful for harbor batteries if they cannot SAIL
and at least some of them can be raced and
converted into steamers. Our shipyards and
machine factories should be worked to their
utmost limits now. There is nothing like taking
time by the forelock in war matters
