WINTER FASHIONS FoR '62-It is stated
on good authority that the ''mode" for Ia.
dies the present season is the wearing of
last winters dresses, which, having been
carefully put away, come out with all the
advantages OF novelty and economy. Some
ladies Of fashion have even gone so far as
to deposit in banks tho money which new
dresses would cost but this habit is con.
fined to ladies Of the most exquisite taste
and good judgment. ,a

The Hansa brings intelligence from Eng.
land that the authorities have permitted the
rebel steamer Nashville to 60 into South
ampton to repair and rrfis, contrary to the
circumstances of our Minister. Tbs next
report which flashes to us over the telegraph,
is to the effect that vessels are fitting cut in
New York under letters of marquc from
Mexico, to sail as pr;vatcersmcn and prey
upon the commerce Of England. There is
the same propriety in permitting Mexico
this privilege in New York, rs in the Eng
ltsh governments permission TO the Nash.
ri1k to at out At Southampton. We ap.
prehend that Johnny will feel the force Of
this logic at once. That he is jealous Of
Uncle Sam, and cottoning to the G. s. A.,
We all know but he Is also sensitive to the
ring Of gold, and consideratc when his
pocket is In danger. Just now it is policy
for him to be honest, and this new danger
to his great commercial artery will no doubt
serve to make him at least observe strict
neutrality during the war.
1t IS an old and homely adagc,
that "what is sauce for the goose is sauce
for the gander." We commend the appli.
cation to the Court Of St. James. Still, we
trust under tho present excited state of
feeling between the two governments, these
proceedings will be stayed by orders from
Washington, until diplomatic understand
ing is arrived at regarding the Nashville.-
It does not become us to be hasty or incon-
siderate in matters of such grave impor.
lance; indeed, similar haste or rashness is
often the cause Of long and bloody wars be-
tween governments, that might have been
averted had the belligerents consented to
the usual Investigations which accompany
quarrels between gentlemen.

We give in another column the proceed
ings Of public meeting called in Liver
pool, on the arrival Of the Trent, TO give
expression to English feeling concerning the
Mason-Slilell-case. The action Of that
meeting, assembled by an ihHammatory
.placard, cannot De regarded as dcmonstra.
sins Tho temper Of the government, nor Of
the mercantile classes. But, it sufficcs to
show several important facts that tie
masses Of the English people sympathizc
with the insurgents Ct this coun,ry--that
their boasted hatred Of American slavery
was stupendous deusion--that they do
not favor liberal government by the peo.
plc--and that they hope to extend their
power in America, by dividing ours. The
English government, however, by its pre-
rsous precedcnts Of like nature, and decis-
ions Of its courts, will necessarily have to
swallow the pill with good grace, though it
may make her feel somewhat sullen for
time. We therefore anticipate no trouble
from the British crown in regard to the
Masoh-Slidcll affair.
P. S.-Since the above article vas put in
type, the Earepa has arrived with impor.
tart unofficial intelligence, to the effect
that England will make the Trent affair q
casus belli, if we do not surrender Mason
and SlidclI, and make apology for their
seizure. We can scarcely credit this rumor,
so much at variance is it with her position
and preccdents upon the right Of search
and seizure. We do not regard it as rca.
sonablc that such high power as the
British crown, should allow its cupid.y to
run away with its national honor. Yet,
these arc days when selRshness is far too
common an attribute Of governments, which
often stoop to unreasonable measures in
order to attain desirable ends.
1t remains now only to be considered, in
case the news by the Europa is confirmed,
whether, according to principles of inter-
national law, we were justified in taking
Mason and Slidell from off the Trent. The
decision Of this matter rests with the Presi-
dent and the Department of State. Ifthey
decide that Capt. Wilkes was by that law
justified in his proceedings, thereis no hon.
orable alternative left US but to maintain
our national honor, even at the hazard Of a
war with England; but il the decision is
avcrse to cur right of seizure, our national
honor, and respects for the rights Of ma.
lions, equally demands the release of the
insurgent prisoners.
However embarrassing and disastrnns to
orr interests war with England would be
Ut this juncture, better annihi.ation than
'tishonor. If we are right, the temper of
the people will be to stand By the right to
the end, and that, doubtless is the temper of
the government. At the same time the
clustering attitude Of the English people,
must not prevent us from dispassionatc
examination Of this ,nomentous question
before proceeding to any issue.
We await further news with great anx.
iety.

GOLD ExcIrEMEEr.-A great gold excite
ment, at last accounts, was raging in Brit
ish Columbia, in the Cariboo mines. It is
stated that $3.50 900 came down to Victoria
on the steamer, and that one company Of
three men IN few days dug $4,000. The
Portland (Oreson) papers are . little inered-
ulous about these stories, and we judge,
not without reason.

A Coop JoKE.-T The insurgent Congress
at Richmond is becoming facetious. The
last item VIC have from that body is to the
effect that bill had been introduced pro-
hibiting the importation Of negroes from
Africa. The point Of the joke is appar-
ent, when it is remembered that she can
not now import anything whatever, to say
nothing Of personal property"
