arrived at $50 A. M. from Liverpool the 18Th,
EoSlish papers regard the battle before Rich
mond from different points of view. Some con-
tend IL was certainly victory Tor the Federals;
othera look upon 10 90 drawn battle, and some
give the palm to the Confederates.
The Times thinks it very hard for Confed-
crate General TO win victory In Northern pa
pers. and insipuates that the fret days fight
was q success for the Confederates, and was
brought about BY Generalship; but this success
was neutralized by the second days drawn bat
tie. These battles tell no more than that both
parties are strong enough to shed each others
blood and weak enough to do L.
The Daily News treats the affair as dread
ed victory for the Federals. IL regards It as
good illustration of the soundness Of the British
policy In refraining from mediation.
The Star and Telegraph alec claim victory
for the Federals.
The Morning Post argues that the Federals
were Worsted, and says no one can read Nc
ClelIan's dispatch without beng convinced that
it tells story of surprise and defeat.
The Herald thinks McClellan'e plans disturb.
ed, and perhaps spoiled by the vigilance of the
enemy.
The Times, In second article, thinks such
battles cannot fail to have strong effect on the
northern mind, and shows the difficulties of the
last undertaking. Every month shows the I'm.
possibility more clearly of restoring the Union
by force of arms. Il hopes, If hot weather sus-
pends hostilities, that the voice of reason will
be heard.
The Daily Newa defends Butler's proclamation
from some of lite most violent aspersion, but
rejoices at bis removal from the military COM
maDd at New Orleans.
The Army and Navy Gazette af1tms that
Lyons's visit to England 10 merely on private
business.

Ia the House of Lords the Duke of New Cas-
tie explained the rejection Of the militia bill by
the Canadian parliament, and thought another

dians undoubtedly desired effective measures OF
self defense.
Mr.. Hapwood gave notice that he would on
the fret of July move resolution that it was
the duty of the British Government to use every

New YoRK, July The Nova Scotia arrived
| this morning, with dates to the 22d. The Eu-
ropa arrived out on the 2lst.
| The Times publishes q letter from Its New
| York correspondent, In which he says If EDg.
land and France intend stepping in at the last
moment, now 10 their tilce to urge submission
/ ON the South and magnanimity on the North,
| for unless Beauregard and other leaders succeed
in retreating TO Texas there is not the slightest
hope for their cause. Their dream Of indepen-
dence has vanished, and they can do nothing
further to realize IL exceptto keep upa hopeless
guerrilla warfare.
Toe Morning Herald gives different view
| Il represents the Confederates as very strong,
but 1t is doubtful if they will risk another en-
gagement at Richmond IL 10 assured that the
Federal loss al the battle of Fair Oaks was
thirteen thousand.
The Army and Navy Gazette argues that the
Confederates are rapidly giving way before the
steady and scientifically applied superior re.
sources of the North. 1t thinks, however, that
Federal military success is no guarantee for the
restoration of the Union.
| The Paris Constitutional regards mediation
as mere question of time. Public opinion In
favor of it gains ground In France and England.
| It Is for the Government TO seize on the favor
able opportunity.
| In the House Of Commons, Lindsay, in post
poniDg sill July lItn his motion relative to
British relations with Amelic expressed the
| hope that the government would 10 the mean
time see the necessity for recognizing the South
and taking the matter off the hands Of private
members, as 1t WAS perfectly clear the Confed-
crates we're now able to assert their independ-
ence.
Earl Russell defended the course Of England
in the Mexican expedition. She did all she un-
dertook, and the French government was not
sending reinforcements In consequence of the
action Of England.
Earl Russell, in response to Lord Broughsm,
promised to produce the correspondence relative
to the Emily 81. Pierre. The subject being
now closed, the opinion of Law officers was
that there was no power in England TO surren-
der the vessel. At first 1t was supposed there
was no precedent, but one had been found In
which, under similar circumstances, England
failed to obtain redress from America, during
Adams's Presidency.
A debate took place on the development Of
cotton culture 10 India. Government reiterates
its desire to do all that Is possible.
