The white father. --If the North has really backed down, and displayed the white feather before the demand of England, it is really no great subject of surprise. A people that never yet consulted honor, pride, honesty, or decency, when a question of interest was concerned, is precisely the people to fall on its knees to Great Britain in a conjuncture like the present. It is true that a universal opinion prevailed, founded on the outgivings of such organs of Yankee continent as the Herald and Times, that the British demand would not be listened to. But those sheets are as accommodating as the weather-cock, the slightest breath from the public being sufficient to veer them to opposite points of the compass. The opinion of the stability of popular opposition to the British demands was also induced by the known madness and infatuation of the Puritan mind, and the vast con it cherishes of its power and prowess. It was not reflected that the interests of the Yankees lay great

federacy. Queen Victoria's message, the prompt and decisive stand of her Government, the tone of the British press, and the popular voice show that the Lincoln despotism will either have to fight the old Lion or be humiliated. We hope the Yankees will have as much back-bone, as they have egotism and fanaticism, for then there is sure to be war. This news has produced a considerable effect, already, upon the speculators in money. Gold had gone up to forty per cent., and in some cases as high as fifty, now it is not over thirty. Should there be a war- between England and the United States, it would probably go down to-par or to small premium. The navy of Great Britain would soon sweep away the blockade, and we should be supplied abundantly with money in exchange for our produce, and with the materials of war. We wait with intense interest the news from the North and from the other side of the Atlantic, to know how providentially the Mason and Slidell affair is working. Veritas.

y will avenge themselves upon England. What a chivalric and high-spirited-turkey-cock! Three weeks ago Bennett was going to whip all creation; now he is willing to take them one at a time, and not lock horns with John Bull till the South is conquered. If England is spared till that happens, she has a fair prospect of living a long time yet. But even if by some miracle the South could be subjugated, in what way would that strengthen the United States so as to enable it to cope with Great Britain? They cannot subjugate our spirits; they cannot make us love the hands that are red with the blood of our sons and brothers; they cannot make us uphold the Government which has sought to enslave and degrade our whole people. Burthened with an enormous debt, the United States will be under heavy bonds to keep the peace for the next century; to submit to every kick and cuff — and they will be neither few nor far between — which every country in Europe will be disposed to administer to it

for forward movement of Gen. Johnston's command. It is now a fixed fact. There are to be no more halls and back tracks, but quick licks and a clear field. From St. Louis — the Confederate cause Increasing. We take the following from the Memphis Appeal, of the 24th inst: A gentleman who arrived in Memphis yesterday, just from St. Louis, represents the excitement throughout the Northwest as very intense since the reception of the late news touching the warlike attitude of Great Britain. The Secessionists of that city are greatly encouraged by it, and believe the day of their deliverance near. Gen. Halleek has levied a tax of ten thousand dollars upon all residents of St. Louis, who sympathize with the "Rebels," for the purpose of supporting the "Union" refugees, who are driven there by the indignation of the loyalists of middle and Northern Missouri. A large portion of this levy was upon the property of Bishop Kendrick, of well-known loyal sentiments. The conse

nal action of the Yankee Government in relation to the late outrage perpetrated upon the English flag. We copy the following: Washington, Dec. 25.--The Mason and Sildell rffair is the all-engrossing topic. It is a popular fallacy that Great Britain has presented an ultimatum. The negotiations thus far have been only preliminary. There has not yet been any Cabinet consultation on the subject. So far from having been, as some supposed, referred to the Senate for advice, there is not mus, the remainder of the screw fleet being composed of craft — by no means numerous — carrying six guns or less. There is the whole fleet of the Northern Republic — the whole Navy of that Government which is but too probably thinking to beard Great Britain on the seas. The Americans have not got a single efficient line-of-battle ship, and their strength in smaller vessels is hardly appreciable by the side of such a marine as ours. The reserves of a single one of our ports could send out a str<

uded, and hopes were expressed that the national honor would be vindicated." A Paris letter of the 7th inst. says the Meuse, a few days back, took on board, at Lorient, the 17th and 18th batteries of marine artillery for Mexico; but, on account of the weather being dreadfully bad on the coast, she has not yet been able to leave. The latest Via Queenstown. London, Dec. 15. --The Paris Patrie says that it is asserted that France and the great Powers have been consulted by Great Britain, and have expressed the opinion that the conduct of Captain Wilkes was a violation of the rights of neutrals. Prince Albert died Saturday night, at 11 o'clock, of typhoid fever. Sir E. Bowster, in charge of young Prince Leopold (the youngest son of Queen Victoria,) also died yesterday at Cannes, in France.
