ST. JOHNS, n. F., Nov. l5.-The steamship
Etna, from Liverpool Nov. 9th: VIA Queens
town the 9th, passed Cape Race tins afternoon.
The dates by the Etna are 4 days later than
bv the Europa at Halifax. A slight collision
had occurred between the Austrian and Ital-
ian troops on the frontiers of Austria and
Italy, but quiet was soon restored.
The London Times again adverts to the ac-
ton of the New York chamber of commerce
touching the rebel steamer Alabama, and de-
MES that any blame can be attached to Eng
land. The London Daily News takes alto
gether a different view of the case. Mr..
Bright had written a letter applauding presi-
dent Lineoln's proclamation to liberate the
slaves of the southern states. Cotton is at
an advance of 2 and Sd. since Friday, the
market closing buoyant Breadstufis dull;
wheat declining.
The London Times again advertS to the ac-
ton of the New York chamber of commerce
touching the rebel steamer Alabama, and de-
MES than any blame can be attached to Eng
land. 1t says that her shipyards are open to
all-England does not fit out shps-of.war,
but sells their component parts to all corners.
The Times then quotes from the message of
president Pierce to congress in 1856 to show
what America considered her neutrality, and
what she was justified in doing during the
Russian war. The Times adds: England has
never gone beyond, nor fully up the bounds
of the American theory, which is perfectly
sound, and the English neutrals sit as disci-
pies at the feet of president Pierce.
The London Daily News has very differ
ent argument. 1t says that the government
cannot be answerabe for every paltry infrac-
ton of obligations which its subjects might
be tempted to commit, but looking at the
nl,or do ipflc cl1i1
building yard on the Mersey, where a navy to
be used against friendly power is being
built, after England has declared her neutral
ity, is not the government bound either to
terminate this illegal state of things or to
withdraw her neutrality proclamation.
The London Times has commenced the
publication of special correspondence from
Richmond. A letter dated Oct. Sth in which
the writer appears strongly imbued with the
spirit OF the secesSiOnists, says: ''they suffer
terrible desoation but their spirit of resistance
is as high as ever
The London Daily News furnishes evidence
from southern newspapers to show that their
military resources are about exhausted, and
that internal discussions prevail. John Bright,
in aletter to VIM. Garnele Jewett, expresses
amaZement at the idea of Cancellation towards
the south regarding slavery. He says 1.-THE
north may separate from the south, or hight
out the contest and win, but to leave the slave
still slave, will expose her to the contempt
Of the civilized world" He adds-'I applaud
the proclamation of president Lincoln, as does
every man in Europe who is not foe to free
dom, or moved by base hostility to the Amer
lean republic because it is a republic and a
powerful one.'
AT crowded meeting of the metropolitan
institution OF. London resolutions expressing
sympathy with the north were adopted. Lord
Brougham in a letter expresses strong hope
that the government will refrain from nterfe.
renee in case of a servile instruction in the
southern states.
1t was rumored that lord Elgin had retired
from the governorship of India owing to the
climate not agreeing with him, and that the
duke Of Argyle would succeed him.
The affairs of Greece continued without
change. Nothing had been decided as to who
should take the place of King Ohio. 1t was
reported that Garibaldi had been sounded as
to his acceptance of the crown.
LIVERPOOL, Nov. 6.-The cotton sales yes
terday and to-day reach only 2250 bales, in
clnding 1000 to spectators and exporters.
There is but little enquiry, and prices are
weak, the market closing dull, with down
ward tendency.
