(From the London News of the World.) PRINCE ALBERT. ,

If we add our voice to that of the other members of the public press of this country, who have spoken with painful but praise- worthy boldness upon the subject of Prince Albert’s supposed interposition in the politi- cal e.lI'atrs of the kingdom, it is only in a spirit of the most affectionate and devoted loyalty to the Queen, and of earnest and anxious solicitude for the Prince's own hap- piness nnd welfare that we presume to do so.

It is feared that his Royal Highness has somewhat mistaken the position which the Constitution of England assigns to Princes enjoying the exalted relationship of Consort with the British Crown. It is undoubtedly true that under the Divine law, man.and wife, in whatever grade or station ofsoctety, are invariably esteemed as one. Our own common and ecclesiastical laws fully re- cognize the name principle, and In all the ordinary conditions of life the complete unity of persons joined in wedlock is laid down as an inconteetible and incontroverti- ble axiom. For olitical purposes, how- ever, the constitutionnl law of this kingdom drawn 3 marked and jealous distinction be- ttveen the public functions which shall be exercised by the occupant of the throne and the Consort to whom he or she may be allied. Compelling our Sovereigns to form their matrimonial alliances abroad, but at the same time jealous to the last degree of any undue or irresponsible influence that may be brought to bear upon the councils or conduct ofthe Crown, the constitutional law declares that the Consort shall not be regarded as equal or one with the Crown. but only as the first subject of the Crown. This is the point which Prince Albert-ap-

ears to have misunderstood.

It is alleged, that his Royal Highness is invariably and upon all occasions present when her Majesty receives her Ministers in Council; that be is not at such times a silent spectator, but always takes an active, oflen a leading part in the deliberations; that this practice is not of recent origin, but-won first permitted by Sir Robtfrt eel; that Lord Melbourne never sulfercd it, and that by his prohibition he incurred the last- ing displeasure ofthe r'nce. ‘

These allegations, supposing them to be true, are so easy of refutation, that it is im- possible not to regard the rigid silence which has been maintained in respect of them since they have been made public, use tacit admission of their substantial accuracy. It would be well, however, ifthe Prince's imputed interposition in the affairs of the State did not extend further than to his in- trusion into the Council Chamber.

We grieve to say, it is further imputed to his Roynl Highness that he is in the practice of corresponding largely with Brit- ish Ministers employed at foreign c0urts,—- his letters being, of course, rivate, and their contents unknown to the orcign Se- cretary for the time being. It is openly us- serted, that several diplomutiats have receiv- ed sucb letters-—which, in point of fact, have been private instructions from the Court, not conveyed through the Foreign Oliice. Now, anything more glaringly un- constitutional than this, or more rcgnsnt with mischief and danger to the pu lic ser- vice. can hardly be conceived. Every one will at once perceive what the result of such a practice must necessarily be in all cases in which the Court and the Ministry may happen to differ in an opinion. The views of the Court. which is not responsible to the nation, would supersede the views of the Minister who is responsible, and thus one ofthe Ieadin rinciples, and most jea- lous provisions ofthe Constitution would be utterly and completely defeated.

No one, of course, attributes to Prince Albert a deliberate intention or purpose of betraying the interests, or prejudictng the welfare of the country, with which he has become so happily allied; bnt'howo-.\-er good and urea his motives may be, it is quite certain that the course he is said to have pursued is utterly inconsistent‘ with the spirit of the British Constitution, and if persisted in, may not improbably be some day productive of results which his’ Royal Highness would be one of the very First to do recate and do lore. _

Vo would farn hope that there is no truth in the imputation that there has for some time past existed a good deal of direct and necessarily secret communication be- tween the English and certain continental courts. Rumour has latterly been busy upon this subject; and several very suspi- cious facts have been boldly referred to as furnishing iucontestible evidence of the ex- istence u some secret communication be- tween tbe Court-of St. J'arnes's and the Courts of Berlin and Vienna. Let us trust that this is not. so; or ifuabappily some-

thing of the sort has indeed existed, let us fervently hope it will never be repeated.

As the Consort ofthe most popular" non- arch who ever eat upon the throne of Eng- land—as the lhther ofa line otprinoes upon whom the nation looks with a proud ness--as the unblemished hxentplar the virtues which most adorn the private

domestic lilo of a christian gentleman-—snd as the enlightened promoter of the. arts which contribute most to the physical im- provement und intellectual refinement of mankind, Prince Albert justly holds, and will ever continue to hold, a deep and last- ing place in the esteem and affections ofthe people of this country. Ifhe desires thus to live in the regard of his adopted country- men—-thus to preserve his own happiness-— and thus to spare IR: Sovereign and our own the pain, perhaps the anguish, that would result from a popular revulsion u- gainst him, we would respectfully but most earnestly warn hint to leave the conduct of public affairs to the hands to which the Constitution assigns them, and to take no part in matters which lie beyond the legiti- mate sphere of his personal influence an interposition .

FORGING BANK NOTES.

The new art of forging bank notes by the photographic apparatus, continues to attract much attention in England. It sp are that n photo- graphic fac-sintile of a bank a England note was exchanged furgold at the bank itself. The Times says:—-So close was the resemblance between the spurious note and the genuine one. that not only were the signature and the private IIl:t7I(l (the latter known only to the bank oflininls) imitated with the closest accuracy, but the water mark itself, in all its integrity. was as clearly and closely defined as the other more prominent characteristics ofthe genuine document. The prncese adopted to produce these efl'ecIs, is well known to all photographers as “ the wax paper pruce The directors of the Bank of England, in order most sflectually to puts stop to the possibility of fra_nds being perpetrated to so alarming an extent by photographic agency, have determined, as soon as the necessary arrangements can be el‘l't~.~ted, to alter the colour of the paper on which the notes are produced. as well as the ink used in printing them. They have ascertained that if their notes be printed on yellow tinged paper on blue ink. it would be impossible to transfer foe-similes to photographic negative wax paper, front which the tmilststions of the genuine notes are obtained. Another plan which would be equally ellicscious would be to have a few words or some ornamental device, struck off on the back of the genuine notes. Thane words or device. by the proceca of sun printirut would be transferred to the front of the imitation note, and thus the attempts ofthe

fraudulent would be entirely foiled.

Tut: CI.tM.\'I'I'. or New zEA[.AND.—-“ The gene- ral salubrity of the climate of New Zcaland has now been established by the experience of years. For persons of delicate constitution predisposed to disease of the lungs, it is unequalled, save by Maderia. Compared with that of Nice-one of the most celebrated continental climate.-s—tbc climate of Auckland is more temperate in sum- mer, milder in the winter, equally mild in the spring, hula little colder in the oultt|'tIn:—wil this advantage, too, over all the boasted c0I'Illtletll- al climates. that it is not so liable to the very great variations of temperature common to them all, from sudden shifts of wind. The ciimnte o New Zealand is doubtless less charming and de- lightful than that of Italy and the south of Fran.-e, but it is certainly more salubnous, and probably better suited to the English constitution, general- lv,thsn even the climate of Maderia. For al- though it has its share of wind. rain. and hroltan weather, it has the advantage over Italy and France. in being more limited in range of tempe- rature ; embracing a less oppressive summer heat, and less sudden changes of temperature during the twenty-four, hours, and a more gradual change of temperature from month to mom .

A Mortsrna 0nohrt.—A gentleman writing from Hull, England, gives the following descrip- tion of an organ about to be built in London for the new Crystal Palace at Sydenham.

"I have just seen the scheme of the monster organ lobe built for the Crystal Palace at Sy- dosharn. Its contemplated erection has not as yet been made public. so that you will. doubtless, be apprised of its dimensions before any one in America at least. It will be a prodigious instru- ment, at least three times as Isrse as any ever constructed. It is to occupy a position at the east end of the tranacpt. It will contain. in al one hundred and thirty-nine llttpn, and ten thousand one hundred and thirteen pipes-

The Great Organ 40 stops and 3.I3! pipes. The Choir Organ 20 “ I. 82 “ The Swell Organ 22 “ 1,694 " The Solo Organ 27 “ 2.030 " The Pedal Organ 30 " I,750 "

It will be one hundred and twenty feet high, lift feet deep, with a breadth of ninety-five feet, an will have four rows of keys.

The cost oftbis mammoth instrument is to be .€25.000 or $195,000! The bellows will be worked by steam.

Mr. Hill, of London, has the contract for Ill construction. and three years are allowed him for its completion. The largest pipe will be 84 feet long. which is double the length of any now in use. It will be built in stories. like a house, with staircases. &e.—The sides of the case will be of glass, and the 64 feet pipe to stand in front.”
