The New York correspondents of the Times
and News both expatiate on the increasing inn
precation against England on account of fitting

The Times sees something to hope for in
America, from the Inauguration of Union
Leagues in the North and the increasing de-
maud among the republicans for the restora-
ton of the Union at any price, and says Eu-
ropean sympathy has been withheld simply
because it was perceived that the whole South
ern people were in earnest about independence,
while it was not apparent that any considerable
part OF the Northern people were in earnest
about emancipation.
The British man of-war Opheus was wrecked
at New Zealand, and $50 officers and men were
drowned. Seventy were saved.
POLAND.
Affairs are again threatening. Instruction
is increasing and had broken out in the de-
partments of Peonewiz and Swals. The peas
ants, nobility and middle classes Joined it en-
masse
The Russian troops had been sent to Memel

Very Latest via Queenstown
Liverpool, 4M.-The Confederate loan has
further declined to "a 2 IA prem.
Steamship Australasian arrived out on the
| 4th.
Vienna, 4h.-The rumor a few DAYS ago
| that Count Apponizi had rendered his resigna-
ton and that it had been accepted, was prema-
ture. Count Apponizi did not tender his res
| ignation until yesterday, and it is very ques-
tionable whether it will be accepted by the
| Emperor. Under no circumstances, however,
is any change to be effected in the policy OF
the Government towards Hungary.
Cracon, 4th.-The Polish Instruction in
the government of Kowni is increasing. Pom
sioner has been taken. by the insurgents. They
have also captured Radon, which was eyacu-
ated by Gen. Alroowski, and they seized the
public treasury of that town.
The following is a portion of the Kanga-
| roo's dispatch:
The Times has an editorial on the seizure oil
| the Peterhof, contendng that il was anjusti-
fled, and says il is not mere act of wright or
wrong that the capture OF the Peterhoff is to
| be regarded, but as an expression OF the policy
to be pursued by particular governments. II
a Spanish or Austrian officer had made mis-
take with British merchantmen, nobody
would ever dream of anticipating mischief
from the occurrence. But the Federal gov
eminent is now advancing extraordinary ex-
ertons by the select agency of an officer
whose conduct has already been condemned.
The seizure of the Peterhof whatever it may
be, is not a natural error of person inexperi-
enced in public law. 1t is deliberate attempt
10 extend and magnify the powers of the
blockade. Nor is il, indeed, the first step in
this direction. They have already almost
| blockaded certain ports of our own in their
eagerness to interrupt traffic between these
ports and others, and at last they have gone
the length of espionage in the Choate adven-
ture in this country, of putting their own con-
| struction on mercantile speculations, proscrib-
| ing ships beforehand by name, and Selling
them without reference to destination or car
| go, wherever they can be pounced upon at sea.
| We have no doubt Com. Wilkes carried pre-
| else instructions to capture the Peterhoff. We
| believe also that she may be released after
more or less detention, and compensation per-
| haps paid on demand. The iederals will find
their own recompense in the command acquir-
| ed over the commerce of the seas and the
alarm communicated to traders, but it can
hardly be denied that such proceedings will
| call for serious attention on the part of our
| government.
| The Times has a characteristic review OF
the volume of diplomatic correspondence for
the last year, as published by the u. 5. govern
ment. 1t eulogizes Mr.. Adams, and says his
dispatches are the best in the whole collection,
being straightforward and business-like, and
rises materially in the estimation of the Times
Mr.. Dayton shows ability, but is rude and
rough as compared with Mr. Adams, while
Motley, Cass. Clay and Cameron display the
most amusing egotism. Mr.. Seward is tainted
with his false prophecies, and his coarse man
ner of putting them.
Lord Palmerston proceeded from Glasgow
to Edinburg, in which place he was formally
| presented with the freedom of the city, and
honored with the degree of L. ID. at the
| University. He made several speeches, but as
regards America he merely reiterated his de-
fence of England's policy to continue neutral.
He spoke warmly in support of Rome, the
capital of Italy. and sympathized with the
Poles, but said England could not forcibly in
terfere. He hoped the united union Of the
European powers would exert beneficial in
fiuence on Russian policy.
NJ Magne win not be replaced in the French
| Cabinet.
NJ Fould has rendered his resignation, be-
cause Persigny exaggerated the amount of
