1.rER PROM EUROPE.

CApp RACE. Oct l0.-The Hlbernlan, from
Tiyrrpool. Oct. 2nd, via Londonderry, the 3D.
passed this evening.
The English journals, IN commenting on
the late federal victories, pay mgh coIiiph-
ments to Major Gen. Mcclellan for his vlgor
and energy in routing the rebels.
The limited States steam frigate st. Louis
left Lisbon in search, it is presumed, of the
rebel pirate $780, which is reported to be de-
stroying American whaling ships off the
Azores.
The sales of cotton at Liverpool for four
DAYS were $4,000 bales, including 10000 to
spectators and exporters. The market was
tirmer, with an advance of Id for American,
while surats were quiet and steady. The Liv-
erpool breadstuffs market was quiet and
steady.
The comments of the British press under
the Asias advices. of the state of affairs in Ma
ryland threw doubts on the northern success
es, but the arrival of the Norwegian dispelled
the doubts and elected many enconiums on
the vigOr of the north. The London Times
compliments Gen. Mcclellan for his energy
and the rapidity of his movements. 1t says =
''The retreat of the rebels is temporary
relief to the federal government; but the ship
is water logged, and although by vigorous
pumping it may gain a few inches, yet the ter
rible rent yawns as widely as ever, and is be-
yond the carpenters skill. As each side has
tried the policy of invasion without success,
would it not be wise in both the north and
south to read the lesson OF the double fail
ure?'
The London Globe says :-''There can be
no doubt that the confederates were unpre-
pared for the energy displayed by the federals,
and were surprised at Gen. McClellan's bold
and determined course. Gen. Mcclellan de-
serves the greatest credit for the velocity and
promptness of his movements" The Globe
then adds unfortunately these campaigns
do not bring the war, except by the mere lapse
of time, any nearer conclusion"
The London Post admits that the position
of the confederates is not so good as it was at
the commencement of the month of Septem-
Der. The Star thinks that the restoration of
the prestige of the army will be sufficient in
centive to fill up its ranks with fresh volun
teers and that there will be no necessity for a
'drafting campaign"
The ship CairngOrne from Sydney, reports
to the newspapers that when near the island
of Flores, on the Both of September, she saw
a rakish looking steamer capture a schooner.
On subsequently speaking boat from the
steamer, she was informed that she was the
confederate steamer Alabama, late No. $3.50"
That she was landing the crews of four
whaers which she had captured and burned,
and that the schooner just taken would be de-
stroyed.
The meeting OF the lower classes in Hyde
Park to sympathize with Garibaldi resulted in
rioting, owing to shouts in favor of the Pope
of Rome.
In Paris it was fully expected that by the
first of November the city Of Mexico would
be in possession of the French troops. 1t was
again rumored that England had pointed out
to France the necessity of evacuating Rome
The marriage of the king Of Portugal with
the princes Pia by proxy, was celebrated at
Turin on the 28th of September, amid great
rejoicing. The new queen embarked at Ge-
noa for Lisbon, shortly after the interesting
ceremonies.
LONDON, Oct 3.-The latest accounts in
regard to the health of Garibaldi, are satsfac-
tory.
1t is asserted in Paris that the confederate
| government has no intention of recalling
either Mr.. Mason or Mr.. Slidell. The Lon
don Times says that ''the confederate army
| has sustained no disastrous defeat in Mary
land, that it retired in good order, and that it
| fully maintained its reputation for courage
| and determination. The confederate army
measured its strength with the army under
| Gen. Mcclellan, and the former did not sue
coed in beating the latter. The army of Gen.
| Mcclellan, demoralized by successive failures
and long retreats, has suddenly proved itself
equal, probably superior, to the confederate
arm, elated as it was with triumph and bent
upon continued conquests. This sudden turn
of fortune is without doubt traceable to the
| liberation of Gen. Mcclellan from the re-
| straints heretofore imposed upon him. He has
now shown that he has really qualifications
for a commander All this, however, does
nothing but bring the contending armies to
an equality. The cause of the north is not
advanced single step by their unexpected
| victory"
The Paris correspondent of the Times says
that it is reported in political circles that the
| British government are no longer so entirely
averse to the recognition of the southern con-
federacy as they have hitherto been. 1t is I'M
derstood that there is a probability of the
question becoming shortly the subject of de
liberation in ministerial councils. An address
to president Lincoln, in favor Of a truce pre-
lminary to negotiations for peace, has been
signed at Brussels by eminent men of almost
every European nation assembled at the social
science convention.
The French squadron in China has been
ordered to proceed to Japan, in consequence
of the menacing treatment of the European
legations by the japanese.
| Rumors are again current in Italy that an
amnesty for Garibaldi and his followers has
been decided on.
