From sho New York Express
The salient points Of the four days fresh Eu
ropean news in cur columns this evening, ap-
pear to be-
Ist. The reiteration Of policy Of strict non
| Intervention IN the American war by the British
| Premier IN speeches at Glasgow and elsewhere.
on the ground that to interfere at all, would
make matters verse, all round.
3D. A decline IN the Confederate loan in the
London market, resulting from no apparent
cause, however, ap8rt from the general dullneSs
/ foreign loans generally.
Sd. The continued unfriendly tone of the
| Times, Morning Post and other leading jour
nails, toward the Federal Government and the
North in their comments upon the progress OF
the war-all of them asserting that the advan-
tages are again sin favor of the rebels that
''the Union IS gone" etc
4th. The grsdual subsidance of tho insurEec-
ton in Polsnd-aceelerats perhaps by the pru-
dence of the Imperial Government in eoncediDg
to the Poles many reforms, of character cal
culated to libeTaize their present system OF gov
eTnment.
(The excitement in England growing out Of
the capture of the Peterhoff, by Admiral
Wilkes, seems to have pretty much blown over
under the conviction that the vessel would be
surrendered. Moreover, Parliament having
taken recess, there was nothing fresh to agi-
tate abous)
Lord Pslmerston was formally installed as
lord rector of the Glasgow University on the
Both uls, in the midst of much enthusiasm. He
made an appropriate address to the stu1on!s
In the evening q grand banquet wss given TO
Lord Pa!mersson in the city hall at Glasgow.
His speech was mainly devoted to an encomium
on q results of free trade as exempli6ed IN
Glasgow where Adam Smith first iuculcased his
doctrines Of political economy. He expatiated

main 8t peacs, while at the same time it would
tolerate no insult or pTOvocstiOn from other
pSwers. He referred as follows to America:
"But am glad to say there never was time
when this county WAS upon better terms Of
friendship with all the other nations Of the world.
l advert not to those conteBding parties 10
America, who sue as Ike rivals who sue = fair
dsmsel-ssch party wanting as to take up its
cause, and each feeling some little singing re-
sentiment on account of that neutrality which
they, both of them, in some degree characterize
as unfriendliness, but setting aside this feeing,
which creates no irritation in our minds, and
does not in any degree diminish that friendly
feeling which ought to prevail between kindred
races, as they are-but say, barring that, we
may safely congratulate ourselves that thereis no
government, that there is no nation with whom
we have political or commercial intercourse with
whom we are not upon terms of the most salts
factory friendship, and long may that continue"
On the 3lst Lord PalmeTston attended soiree
of the working classes in the city hall of Glss-
gew, and was presented with an address. In
the course of his speech he alluded as follows to
American affairs:
at will be our anxious desire to pursue q
course calculated to preserve the peace snd wei
fare of the country, and we have done so in re-
gard to the lsmentable events passing amsng
our kinsmen Of the North American continent
and in spite Of great invitations from each of
the two parties to take q more active part in the
contest than we have thought it our duty, aud
for the national interests that we should take.
TLoud cheers. There are in the United King
DOM as there are in America, Federal and Con-
federste advocates. There are some who wish
success TO the North; there are others who De-
sire to see the separation Of the S,uth from the
North 1t is not fitting or becoming that the
British nation, as q nation, should take part il
that contest It is lamonts5le event in the
history of mankind, and depend upon il that,
though war in any circumstances, is 4 great
affection to 2 country, Of all wars which most
aflict nation civil war is the one most TO be de.
plored; there you have fighting brother against
brother, relation ranged against relation. You
have q contest scattered over a wide surface of
country, and you have desolstion marking the
tracks Of each cOntending army, perhaps great
of foreign force. We lament that state of
things. We should be NEST happy if it had
been in the power of this coustry by amicaSle
interposition to reconcile those conflicting par
ties; but we felt and we know that any attempts
of that kind in the existing state of things
would have an effect the very reverse Of that
which was intended. It would not accomplish
the purpose in view, and might render IL diff
cult, if not impossible if q different state of
things should arise, that the friendly couDsels
of England could then be listened to with
SUCCESS. Cheers. I am persuaded that you,
gentlemen, and the rest Of the people of Eng
land, think that we acted rightly in taking that
decision. That war has, indeed, Inflicted deep
sufsrings and prvstiOns upon large portion
of the working classes of this country-less,
perhaps, in point of interest here in Glasgow
than in Manchester and other towns in the
manufacturing districts, but even here it must
have been grievously felt, and many per-
soRs might have thought we, by taking part in
the contest, and declaring ourselves for one side
or the Other might have put an end to that priva-
ton and terminated those suffsrings. But that
would have been a short-sghted view, and, de
pend uDon it, if we had taken that course, we
should have failed in our object, and increased,
instead of diminishing, the sufferiDgs which we
intended to alleviste.''
