FIVE DAYS
LATER FROM EUROPE.
Arrival of the Steamship Norwegian off
Farther Point.

FARTHER POINT, Nov. I.
The steamship Norwegian, from Liverpool
on the I'D and Londonderry on oath ult, ar
rived off here to-day.
Steamship City of Baltimore, from New
York, and Anglo Saxon, from Quebec, have
arrived at Liverpool.
GREAT BRITAIN,
When the Norwegian sailed the weather was
very boisterous, and marine disasters were re-
ported. Ship Marietta, from Liverpool for
New York, put into Queenstown on the 22d,
leaky. The Benares, from Sunderland for
China, put into Tough Foyle, leaky. The
Liverpool ship Bencoolin was wrecked, and %
of her crew lost.
The Times city article, referring to the reso-
luton contemplated by the confederate gov
ernment, to collect million bales of cotton
and sell them in Europe, subject to all the con-
tingencies as TO the date at which they can be
shipped in, is not without Importance. Should
the resolution be passed. there are propably
many spectators who might be tempted into
such speculation, provided the margin of
profit offered was very large. The writer sug-
gests that perhaps the coniederates. by means
of the Ovieto, and other vessels hope to break
up the blockade of Charleston or some other
port during the winter.
The Daily News thinks the federal cause
has never before looked so like 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 to wait the
event, which must be decided by other in
fuences than theirs.
The Times, of course, takes directly op-
poste view, and says more important than the
news of battle is the fact that the New York
money market has at last began really to feel
the changes which threaten the country. With
not single confederate State conquered, or
likely to be; with not one cent levied vet by
direct taxation at the North; with an immense
host OF raw recruits to be paid their bounties
armed, clothed and supported; with a gigantic
mass OF materials to provide for another inva-
sion, the federal government finds its paper
deprecated not far from one third of its value
Although probably no invasion of Pennsylva-
mia on large scale is-intended. the fresh raid
across the Potomac must impress the lederals
with the conviction that their enemy is as full
of spirit as ever. The article then expatiates
on the interminable and indecisive battles in
the West.
The Liverpool correspondent OF the Times,
Mr.. Spencer, again urges mediation or recog-
milton, on the ground that Europe cannot re-
main callous either to the suffering there or
the terror elsewhere. He thinks the contest
too likely to degenerate into mutual butchery,
and that England may then be driven to take
up arms to end such an outrage on ciyiza-
ton.
The Daily News points to Mr. Summers
speech at Boston. and its reception, as refuta-
ton Of the Times arguments that the eman-
cipation scheme would be repudiated. 1t de-
nounces the scandalous charges which have
been brought against the authors and abettors
of the scheme.
Mr. Benz. Brodie, the distinguished surgeon,
died at his seat in Surrey, on the DIST
cabinet council was to be held in London
on the day the steamer left Liverpool
At public meeting held in Oldham, res
olution was offered, calling on the Government
to recognize the independence of the Confed-.
crate States as the only means of ending the
civil war.
An amendment was offered, declaring rec
ogniton as impoitic aud likely to result in a
war with the North.
After long debate and uproarous proceed
ings, the original motion was declared carried
although the meeting was about equally di-
vided.
The destruction of American ships by the
rebel steamer Alabama, caused a general ad-
vance in the rates of insurance at Lloyds of
two or three per cent. on all American ships
The advance demanded at Liverpool is even
as high as five guineas per cent.
FRANCE.
III stated that Count Persigny and M.
Fould have consented to remain in the cabi-
net, the Emperor having assured them that
there was nothing reactionary in his present
policy respecting Italy. but that he declined to
take any hurried step with regard to Rome.
The Council of State has resumed its sit
tings.
The Paris Bourse was firmer. and rentes on
the I'D advanced TO II francs soc.
ITALY.
Alarming accounts of Garabaldi's health
Continued. 1t was even rumored In Paris that
he was dead.
A Turin telegram of the 22d. however, saws
he had been removed to Spezzia. and bore the
removal well. The state of his health is slight
ly improved, but the papers still express much
app rehension.
The 22d being the anniversary of the union
OF the southern provinces to Italy. was cele-
brated by fetes in all the principal towns. Va
rious popular reioicings took place, but perfect
order was maintained.
