GENERAL NEWS.

Tie steamship Scotia, from Liverpool Oct. 2j
via Queenstown Oct. 70, arrived here on Saturday.
Her news is two days later than that previously re-
seiyed. The struggle between the friends of the
Uniou and the friends Of the Rebels is AZ brisk in
England as ever before. The arstocrats aud con-
srvs,iyes are loudly proclaning their sympathy
will the South, and their confidence in the ultimate
.ssolotion Of the Union. They were expressing Il
hops for the victory Of the Democratic party in tie
State Of New-York. On the other hand, our cause
was warmly defended by Mr.. Onslow, NJ. p, the
Rev. Newman Han, and Others. Many speakers
take the ground that tbe independence of the Seeded
State, is in the interest of England, but that Anti
Slavery Englisbmen must withhold their interests
from the South, as long as il will not consent to at
least gradual abolition Of Slavery. Thus the Prof
ident Of the Evangelical Alliance Sir Culing Eard-
10y, advises the Soath TO take ,he wiad out Of Lin
cons sails, and declare Themselves in favor Of grad
uai emancipation. Mr. Golden has made powerful
address ip favor Of general abolition Of commercial
o!oekades. Considerable excitement was produced
IN England by the report that Admiral Wilkes of
Trent notore'y" was blockading the ports Of Bermu-
da. From France, new steps Of the French Gov.
e'anent In iayor Of the temporal power Of the Pope
are announced. Tho King Of Prussia Is receiving

The material fact, are as follows: Col. Miles

Ford took command of Maryland lights Sept.

them, aud the next day Col. D'Uiassy sent

After the evacuation of Maryland Hights,
Col. Miles sent word to Gen. Mcclellan, then
