Effect Of the Good and had News.

NEW York, May 1.-THE steamship
America has arrived, with Southampton
(England) advccs of April 26th
The Times says: "The end has come at
last and the great American war is virtually
closed by Lees surrender of the army of
Virginia. The tone of the correspondence
between Grant and Lee is honorable to both,
and the conditions were such rs it was no
disgrace for an overmatched army to accept.
Not even Napoieon's grand army could
count series of more brilliant victories
than the army of Virginia. They were
victorious until victory was no longer to be
achieved by human valor, and then they
fell with honor. Two years ago Lee might
baye escaped to Lynchburg, but now the
Federal Generals move as quick, and attack
as rapidly as Napoleon's marshals. The
Federal army is entitled to rank among the
very first of military nations, and ali at
tempts to establish Southern Confederacy
must be abandondsd."
The Times of Tuesday, April 25th says
"With the defeat of the Southerners ends
the gravest difficulties of the Federal Gov
ernmcnt After the restoration of the
Federal authority and the reduction of the
South to obedience, an overwhelming pro-
spect will open before Lincon's Administra-
ton. Much lies between the conquest of
the South and the restoration of the Union.
In the face of the political problems of I'M
exampled difficulty to be confronted, such
questions as the regeneration of the currency,
reform of the tariff and the management of
the national debt, important as they are,
may appear insignificant.
| Notwithstanding the strong sympathy
felt for the South at Liverpool, the intelli-
! gence of Lees surrender was received with
great satisfaction causing increased conf
dence in commercial circles.
The London Times, in Mondays leader,
also says: The fall of Richmond has been
followed by military disasters from which it
is impossible that the South can recover.
The Times says there seems on the part of
President Lincoln desire to c0nciliate his
vanquished fellow citizens, under the gui-
dance of Mr. Seward. who has crcditably
distinguished himself in the Cabinet by
moderate counsels, and whose life will, we
trust, be spared at this crisis to the Union
He may by gentle means restore tranquility
and perhaps before his term of Office expires
calm in in some degree animositics which
have been raised by three years of war.
The daily NetcS of Monday, after compli
menting Lee for surrendering, alludes tc
President Lincoln's notification to foreign
nations to withdraw the regulations tC
which Federal vessels are now subjected in
their ports says this notice will not affect
us, as with our harbors at Halifax and il
the West Indies we have no occasion tc
enter, much less remain in the ports of thu
United States. 1t is therefore probably di
rected against other nations, whose con
stantly impending threat of recognition o
the South has, during the war; so added t,
the difficulties and perplexities of the North
Yet it will be right in the American Gov
ernment to remember that while it still
recognizes the Confcderates as belligerents
it must allow foreign nations to act toward
both sides on the same footing when the re
! bellion is so far crushed that the rcmanin!
/. . armies are dispersed, the remaining cite
occupied, and those who still resist are hun,
as rebels. The North may calm from othe
nations the acknowledgement that the stat
of war has ceased. That time we hope an,
think is very near, but till it comes we can
not help following the Federal example ant
recognizing the Confederates as belligerent.
The length of the Atlantic cable now con
pleted is 1903 miles, and 400 miles ar
f already on board the Great Eastern.
