FOUR DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE.

CAPE RACE, May 25.-The steamship Kan
| CARGO, from Liverpool May IA via Queens
town the 18TH passed Cape Race at II o'clock
last night. The steamship Canada from Bos-
! ton via Halifax, arrived out on the l1th. The
steamship City of New York from New York,
arrived out on the l4th. The steamship Bo-
hemian from Portland, arrived out on the
18th. The Kangaroo has forty-seven cabin
and five hundred and Seventy-two Storage
passengers. She experienced head winds
throughout the passage.
In Great Britain the news of the capture of
New Orleans, received per the Canada, was
the occasion of much surprise and consider
able disbelief; but, coming from southern
sources, it was generally argued that there
was no room for doubt 1t produced no in
tluence on the cotton market. The London
Times says, sit is a hard blow for the south,
and great triumph for the north; another
proof that the north can do more harm to the
confederates than than the contederates can
to them"
The Times asks how it will affect England.
Ir says the American ministers at London and
Paris are told to assure those governments
that plans are being matured for mitigation
of the blockade, and this promise has been
made from time to time in Paris, some weeks
past, as we can well understand, with most
sincere desire on the part of the federal gov
eminent to fulfil it. If the federals possess
New Orleans, there is Of course an end to the
blockade of that city. There is only one
thing wanting that cotton should come down.
If the planters trust it to the federals, suffi-
Gent will doubtless be got to relieve the man
utacturers; but if the obstinate planters re-
move or destroy the stocks, or refuse to bring
them down, it is hard to say what we have
gained by the capture of New Orleans. The
capture is creditable to the skill of the north,
and is also an item in the revenge of the fed
erals. But if the city is now to be blockaded
on the land side by the confederates, the
Times thinks the gain will not be much by
this mitigation of the blockade.
In another article the Times says, 1t is vain
to deny the importance of the event. but, if
the southerners mean what they say in their
loud talking, which the Times rather ques-
tons, they can never be conquered. The
Herald declined to believe the news, but adj
mitted that if true it would be a signal tri-
umph for the north. The Morning Post also
doubts it, and thinks that if confirmed it will
not seriously affect the fortunes of either par
ty, although Il serious loss to the south 1t
says the utter hopclessness of the struggle is
more apparent at each successive stage.
The Daily News says there is no good rea-
son for doubling the capture, and regards it
| as of great Importance. 1t highly eulogizes
the consumate skill displayed by the north in
| this matter.
The news per the city of New FORK was re-
ceived just before the Kangaroo left. The
impression prevailed in Manchester that the
event would bring forward some cotton. 1t
was reported that count Persigny was sudden
ly ordered from Paris to London, it is sup
posed on the mission relative to the steamer
Economist with eight hundred bales of cotton
and four hundred bbls of rosin, which had ar
rived at Liverpool from Charleston.
Speculations continued relatiue to NJ. Mer-
cier's visit to Richmond, but there is nothing
reliable. The ''Opinione Rationale" asserts
that it merely had reference to French tobacco.
The distress in Lancashire was debated in
the house of lords without reference to Amer
lean affairs.
Victor Emanuel was enthusiastically re-
ceivedin Messina. 1t was reported that there
was a military conspiracy in st. Petersburg in
favor of Poland.
LIVERPOOL, May 15.-Cotton sales of two
days was 5000 bales, including one thousand
to spectators and exporters. Market irregu-
lar, and quarter of penny lower for Amer
lean.
