THE LATE ?RINCE ALBERT.

ON the day previous to the death of H. Royal
Highness, the London Times published an article

of the Prinee. had then announced

tract from the Times :--
“Por mere than 20 years the Prince Consort
has beet the guide and protector of th: Quven, to
& degree that is rarely tound even in ordinary life,
Where the husband is both in iaw and real y the
suardian of the wife. Dering all this period the
Prinee has devoted the powers of a danlede acute
aud wellstored mind to dimiuishing the cares of
his Consort, by giving her the advice which no
one ele could have so effectually tendered her.
hen we consider that almost all her Majesty's
public life has been passed under his guidance, aud
that by his influence her steps have been directed
i that path of constitutional conduct which has
Strengthened her Throne and banixhed political
dseoutent from every part of this great empire,
we may well join in her Majesty's distress and anx-
jetties. It is at such o time that we feel how high
&pexitim the Prince has taken in this country,
and how much he has become one of ourselves. To
the great bod) of the publie he has always been
Present as the zealous and able leader in every

no country would have been wore interested i
calling for redress to the insulted flag than our
selves. All Europe feels with us that justice must
be done ; and if we can point with honest pride to
the tone of the English press, without exe ‘prion,
it is still more satistuctory to us to see how our
hands are upheld by the press of all the
cities of Europe. Other European ki j
not feel as we do that something even greater than
the rights of neuvtrais has been invaded, but they
feel that their way across the deep is liable to b«
impeded by any bully armed with the conmnission
of a belligerent power. Let Americans take note
of the public opinion of Europe, estimate its
weight, calculate which side the truth

Wise ip time.

Lastly, we owe a duty to the United States;
we must save her from—herself. For some
mouths past she has been drifting inte lawlessness.

| What have we seen? The great rights transmitted
| from us placed in peril of their existence; Habeas
Corpus suspended in action without the proclama-

| tion of martial law; a judge placed under arrest
for daring to issue the great prerogative writ;
| British passengers on board British vessels
, arrested and placed in durance; British minors
|} compelled to serve in the American army ; pass-
| ports instituted, and the press restrained from ex-
‘pressing any other than feelings esteemed to be
fev by the Executive. The Americans are fast
losing themselves, losing a sense of dignity as a
free people, and sporting with their Constitution
| in the mad hope of subduing the South. America
| has been herself a home for the fugitive; tea large
extent her population are fugitives from oppression
and poverty in Europe. We desire her to con-
tinue so for ever, and if God help us, by our en-
deavour she shall. By her own aet she secks to
stop the pathway of waters, Itisa duty we owe
all round to prevent her suicidal intent. “The mob

States. We are more than a inate tor the Ame-
rie as it is, and to conclude an alliance with
France, in the event of hostilities, would not

ouly
look like cowardice on our part, but would also
be ungenerous to our own kindred. Beyond
this, France may calculate that if England is
gaged in an Ainerican war, the attention of her
Government and people will be released from the
watchful attitude now bestowed upon the atfiairs
of the contineut. It is net likely that Napoleon
would withdraw his troops from Rome, or aban- |
dou designs on Sardinia, sitaply because England
could no longer keep watch and ward in the
Italian interest. We may not expect the Emperor
to be ready to give up all designs upon the Rhenish
provinces, or cugage not to attack Austria. He
always decs play @ waiting game, and he gets
| credit for far-sighted astuteness, whilst in fact he
ouly avails himself of the mistakes of over eager
disputanis. The Moniteur, in analysing the opin-
jions of the journals the other day, said it was no
| part of the duty of France to take up the quarrel |
| of England, or to wake observations on the speeches
,of the Hialian deputies. Precisely; the Emperor
| Waits, iu the hope that some error will turn up of
| which he ean avail himself to administer a dose of |
j military gloiy to the French, or by crooked diplo-
macy obtain a slice of Tjalian or German soil in
exchange for material aid given to Italy or |
Prussia.
We have our own cause; “thrice is he armed,
that hath kis quarrel just.” We are confident of |
)our mere right, still were confident of our spirit,
