FIVE DAYS LATER FROM EURoP E

FARTHER PoINT, Nov. 1.-THE Norwegian
from Liverpool at 1870 A. NJ, Oct. 23d, via
Londonderry the oath, has passed this point.
The steamship City of Baltimore arrived at
! Queenstown on the 22d.
The London Times city article, referring
to the resolution contemplate by the conted-
crate government, to collect a million bales OF
cotton and sell them in Europe, subject to all
contingencies as to the date at which they can
be shipped, says it is not without Importance.
Should the resolution be passed, there are
probably many spectators who might be
tempted into such speculation, provided the
margin of profit offered was very large. Inc
writer suggests that perhaps the contederates,
by means of the Ovieto and other vessels, hope
to break up the blockade of Charleston, or
other ports, during the winter.
The London Daily News thinks the federal
cause has never before looked so ike success
in its essential features. The south is almost
at the last stage of exhaustion, while the north
is nearly untouched in all its resources. All
that European nations have to DO Is 10 walt
the event which must soon be decided by 9TH
er influences than theirs.
The London Times of course takes directly
the opposite view, and says: "MOre important
than the news of battles is the fact that in
feel the dangers threaten the country with not
single confederate state conquered, or likely
to be, with not one cent yet levied by taxation
at the north, with an immense host of new re-
cruts to be paid their bounty, armed, clothed,
and supported, with a gigantic array OF ma
terials to provide for another invasion. The
federal government finds its paper deprecia-
ted not far from a third in value. Although
probably no invasion OF Pennsylvania on a
large scale is intended, fresh raid across the
Potomac impresses the federals with a con-
victiOn that their enemy is as full OF spirit as
ever" The article then expatiates on the in
terminable and undecisive nature OF the bat
ties in the west.
The Liverpool correspondent of the Times,
Mr.. Spence, again urges mediation or neg0-
tiation, on the ground that Europe should not
be callous either to the suffering there or the
horrors impending elsewhere. He thinks the
contest but too likelyto degenerate into mu-
tual butchery, and that England may then be
driven to take up arms to suppress an outrage
on civilization.
The Daily News points to Senator Sum-
ner's speech at Boston, and its reception, as
refutation of the Times argument that the
emancipation scheme would be repudiated
Sir BENZ. Brodie a distinguished surgeon
tober.
cabinet council was to be held at London
the day the steamer left Liverpool. Alta pub
lie meeting at Oldham, resolutions were Of
fered calling on the government to recognize
the independence of the confederate states as
the only means of ending the civil war. An
amendment was offered declaring that recog-
milton was impolitic and likely to result in a
war with the north. After warm debate and
uproarous proceedings, the original resolu-
ton was declared carried, although the meet
ing was about equally divided.
The destruction of American ships by the
pirate Alabama, caused general advance in
the rates of insurance at LlOyds, of two and
three per cent on all American ships. The
advance demanded at Liverpool, is even as
high as five guineas per cent
In France it is stated that Persigny and
Fould consented to remain in the cabinet, the
emperor having assured them that there is
nothing reactionary in his present policy re-
specting Italy, but that he declined to take
any hurried step with regard to Rome. The
council of state had resumed its sittings.
The alarming accounts of Garibaldi's health
continued. 1t was even rumored in Paris
that he was dead. A Turin telegram of the
| 22d however, says he had been removed to
| Spezzia, and bore the removal well. The
state of his health is slightly improved, but
the papers still express much apprehension.
The 22d being the anniversary of the union
of the southern provinces to Italy, was cele-
brated by fetes in all the principal towns.
Various popular rejoicings took place. Per-
feet order was maintained.
The Liverpool cotton market closed frmer,
with an upward tendency, and rise in Surats
of one-half penny per pound.
The breadstuffs market is firmer, except for
corn which has downward tendency. Flour
firm, with an upward tendency.
