Though by the latest arrivals from Europe
we hear that the. English government expresses
itself satisfied with the surrender of Messrs.
Mason and SIdell, all the indications of popular
sentiment point to the speedy recognition Of the
independence of the Confederate States on the
part of Great Britain. The press with one voice
continues to favor the cause of our separate
nationality. The Saturday Re0ielo still publishes
week after week articles which are gall and
NORWOOD to the North, and even Biacks0OOd's
Magazine, which in times past has said so much
in disparagement of southern civilization, has
come round to a more liberal view of affairs this
side of the Potomac. The December number
! contains two contributions upon the subject OF
the war in America in which the real merits Of
the controversy are clearly recognized and ably
set forth. One of these entitled "A Month
with the Rebels - is so full of praise of our PEG
pIe and our army that it is a wonder the authori-
ties at Washington allowed it to be reprinted in
New York. If Blackwood goes on to publish
such panegyric of treason, Messrs. Leonard
Scott & Co., the proprietors of the American
edition, will probably be soon brought under
the censorship Of the press.
In addition to what has been said by the
newspaper and periodical writer's of England,
pamphIetteers have not been idle in spreading
among the people just ideas of the desperate
folly of the tyranny established at Washington.

referring to Fort Lafayette-has had a very wide
circulation and been productive of the happiest
influence uponpopular sentiment. On the whole,
the cause Of the Confederate States, with refer
ence to the speedy Intervention of foreign pow
ers, looks brighter than ever. As a proof that
the Yankees themselves are ofthis way Of think
ing, l need only refer to the fact that the bill, re-
Gently before Lincoln's Congress, to appropriate
the small sum Of $4,000 for the expenses of the
United States representation at the great indus
trial exhibition of 1862, was lost by a very large
majority. It has been only a short time since
Lincoln designated Edward Everett as a com
missioner to attend this exhibition, on the part
Of the United States, and the Yankees were fe-
I~citating themselves on the miraculous results
of his mission in teaching John Bull what a
hopeless affair the southern rebellion really was.
Apropos of the Worlds Fair of 1862, Mr..
Bisbie, who has SO lately returned from England,
gives US the information that a considerable
space has been set apart in the building for the
products of the Confederate States, and it is
hoped that, in spite of the blockade, the new
Republic win be handsomely represented there.
The funeral of Ex-P President Tyler was solemn
lied this morning at st. Paul's church, in pres
ence Of an immense eoncOurse of citizens, most
of whom followed the coffin to the cemetery,
two miles distant, in spite of the severity of the
weather. The rites were highly imposing. At
u o'clock the remains were escorted from the
hall of Congress to the church by the Public
Guard, the President and Cabinet, the Governor
and executive officers of Virginia, the Provis-
ional Congress and both Houses of the Virginia
Legislature. The bier was borne by members
Of the Public Guard, followed by the psll-bear-
ers. The coffin was enwrspped in the Virginia
flag and surmounted by garlauds Of flowers. In
the church the magnificent burial service of the
Episcopal communion was read by the Rev.
VIM. Minnegerode, the choir chanting the alter
nate verses of the appointed psalm, and the ser
mon was preached by the Right Reverend John
Johns, assistant bishop of the diocese, from the
text in Corinthians" Honor to whom honor
The procession was then formed and made its
way to the cemetery, where the body of John
Tyler was buried near the resting place of James
Monroe. There, in the beautiful language Of
Mr.. Hunters eulogy, " day after day, for years
yet to come, the lights Of morning and the eve
ming shadows shall lend their varied and silent
charms to the quiet scene of his deep repose."
