LATER DETAILS FROM EUROPE.

By the Groat Britain, which arrived in Melbourne on (iood Fr;duy, English papers have been received to rh<! 27th January. The following summary is iV.)!u the Liverpool Mercury of that date :

Thb Scez Oaual.—The apprehensions of the Suez Canal shareholders have been allayed by an aspiirance, privately siven by Ismail Pa'ha to the French consul, that he will fulfil the enKugements into which his uncle entered with the French Government.

Movements of Turkish Troops.— La France, of the 2(ith January, states "' That Turkey is assembling forces upon the frontier of Bosnia and the Herzegovina, -and will u(it delay to concentrate troops upon the Servian frontiers."

Essays ani> Reviews. —The Rev Dr Williams the liev Mr Williams, who were each sentenced to twelve months' suspension for contributing to the Notorious volu tneof Essays and Reviews, failed to give notice of appeal within the allotted time, so the decision of the Arches Court will be carried into effect.

Tub Battle op FREDERlCKSßtmft.—Everything indicates that the victory was complete. One Confederate division alone, that of General M'Law's, picked up atte" the battle, 180,000 rounds of hall eirfcridire. On the field were gathere 1 up, from 12,000 to 15,000 stand of arms. Prisiners by dozens were tound concealed in the cellars of Fretlericlcsburg, eauf'r to surrender, and burning with anxiety to revs; il marvellous tales of the demoralisation of the Federal nrmy. Ten thousand ni<'n have deserted from tha Federal army since the battle.—Southern Conwpondent of The Times.

Egyptian Troops poh Mexico.—The Nation of Paris, states that the English Consul at Alexandria protested "solemnly and boisterously" against the enibarknsion of the first battalion of tiie black trootis furnishel by the lnte Viceroy ior service in iloxieo. Of this protest the Nalion complains bittti'ly. and contends that the Viceroy hail " a rialit" to furnish t'u; tvoops This is very doubtful, for lieitlie-the Viceroy of Egypt no;1 his suzerain the Sultan is »t war with Mexico. M. Granier de CassaKiia'! declares that the French Government will Jaiisrh at the Jinalish Consul, aud shin another cargo of "Bjtyptiun soldiers for Vera Onz very shortly. Perhaps it will, if the new Pasha will consent.

Cospebbhate Cottoh Warrants —T ha»e lately heard, with some surprise hut on excellent authority, iliivt the Confederate Government h is bsen doinjrn very coiis&lwrable stroke of business in this countr \ tliroiuiii tho medium of ils cotton warrants. These wMi-raut-" are undertakings to deliver so much rot'on. at a fixel price—in the case mentioned (o in-- of from 3 I t-> 41 ]>er lb—so many days after sight, ?X any of tlir: Confederate po:t», after the recognition, of the Co'ifedtra'iy. That these warrants should he t.uken by our merchants and traders, in payment of ships, arms, and stores, bespeaks great .confidence in tbu recognition of the S mth, and at no very distant period. Of course all holders of thes? warrants—and the amnant tlmt has pissed I nm assured is large— live '.vehement advocates for recognition, and each a centre for propagation of their doctrine. It is reported thht I lie Confedenuy have even addressed proposals to our Government for such reversionary mid speculative transaction* in co'ton on a large scale.—Correspondent of Jilanchcstei Guardian.

Tub Throne op 3ref:ce. —The Greeks have sustaiuud another disappointment. They would gladly Jiiive accepted as their king the Duke of Saxe-Goburg, not •■iiiy on account of his lush character, but because lie woiild have in some measure brought them into

alliance with England ; but owing to unexplained c;mses, tho Duke has ceased to be a candidate for the honor. The Mornimj Post, however, states that " within a few days a prince of high lineage and of t!ie Protestant faith will be suggested to the Greeks ns a fitting person to fill their vacant throne." La France states that Prince Nicolas of Nassau is a candidate.

Father Passaolia is Parliament. — The eleoiion'of Father Passaglia as a member of the Turin Parliament is looked upon as a great event in Italy. He was chosen for the obscure district of Montccchio. in the province of Reggio, in the iEaiilia, and, in spite of all the exertions of the hostile priesthood, his success was never for a moment in jeopardy. The advocates of a "free church in a free state," now say that the Government need no longer be frightened by the assumed hostility of the poor and ignorant classes, for this election proves that the Government has in its own hands the power of settling the Koman question. The Genoa correspondent of the Times doubts whether any great political advantage will result from bringing a man of the stamp of Passasrlia into Parliament; hut he thinks that great benefits would result from the bold and decided step of appointing Passaglia to the Archiepiscopal see of Turin or Milan.

Batii>b op the Bishops. —Several very unpleasant episcopal quarrels are pending. The evangelical bishops, iudignant at the bold teaching of Dr Colenso, are devising means to proceeil against their " erring brother;" but, in consequence of the peculiar state of the law respecting such cases, it is not easy to institute a prosecution against the offender. The subject will occupy the attention of Convocation at an early period. The Bishnp of Durham has raised anoiher skirmish in the Gnurch. Some time since the bishop of Labuan took an active part in an expedition against the Borneo pirates, who are the most wicked and merciless rascals on the earth. Although the slaughter ia which the bishop engaged was necessary in Eelf-defence, the Bishop of Durham refuses to recognise the necessity, and freely expressed his opinion on the subject. He indirectly requested the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel to deuounce the conduct of the Bishop of Labuan, but the society declined to do so. The Bishop of 'Durham, has, therefore, requested that his name be withdrawn from the list of vice-presidents of the society, "as being the only means left him of enteringl his solemn protest against a deed of blood, happily without a parallel in the whole history of Protestant missions."

France-Paris, Jan. 26—In the Senate, to-day, M. Trolong read a draught of the address. After approving of the speech of the Emperor upon home policy, the address applauds the friendly tendency of the foreign policy of the Emperor, who, in his relations ■with Cabinets, does not separate the legitimate aspirations of peoples from the law of treaties. It then proceeds—"ln Mexico, nothing remains but to advance. We rely entirely upon our heroic army. The attitude of Italy tends to allay apprehensions after having brought them into being. The period of conflicts is receding ; that of arrangements appears to be drawing near. Uome is no longer spoken of at Turin, and at Rome herself the Government is occupied with reforms, supported by the presence of our army. The Pope has loudly expressed his gratitude to the Emperor. His Holiness is aware that the independence of Italy ia not based upon a compact of Franco with the revolution (applause) ; and that your Majesty's assistance may be reckoned on when the claims of honor and past engagements have been fulfilled." The address concludes with an expression of regret that the proposal of France for mediation in America has appeared premature to the other powers.

The Insurrection in Poland.—Berlin, 26th of January, evening.— The latest reliable intelligence received from Poland states that the insurrection at Warsaw has been completely subdued. In official quarters here it is confidently expectsd that the rising which has taken place in other parts of the country ■will likewise soon be suppressed. Intelligence from the Grand Duchy of Posen states that there is no trace of any connexion between the Prussian province and tee insurgents, tranquility prevailing even upon the frontier between Poland and Prussia. No news of Polish insurgents having entered Prussian territory has been received. The Breslausr Zeitung of the 26th states that the largest body of insurgents is in the district of Gastonni, and assorts that Pietrokow has fallen into the possession of the rebels. A revolutionary proclamation has been issued promising all landed property to the peasants, and announcing to them that General Mieroslawski is in Poland. Many landed proprietors have fled to Warsaw. Intelligence has been received at Leinberjr, that it was by desire of the secret central committee tliat the persons destined for military service dispersed throughout the country. The Official Dresdner Journal publishes a telegram direct from Warsaw, dated Sunday evening, which states that perfect tranquility_ prevails at Warsaw, and that the insurgents are being pursued in all portions of the provinces

A Faithful Dog.—The widow of Lieut. Pfieff, of Illinois, was enabled to find her hn9band's grave at Pittsburg Landing, by seeing a dog which had accompanied the Lieutenant to the war. The dog apprx ached her with, the most intense manifestations otjoy, gnd immediately indicated to her as well as lie was able his desire that she chonld follow fiim. Sho did so, and he led the way to a distant part of the field, and stopped before a single grave. She caused it to be opened, and there found the body of her dead husbaud. It appears from the statements of the soldiers that when Lieut. Pfleff fell this dog vat by his side, and thus remained, licking his wounds, until he was taken from the field and buried. He then took his station by the grave, and nothing .coulil induce him to abandon it but lora snfficienfc length of time each day to satisfy his hunger, until by some means he was made aware of the presence of his mistress. Thus bad he watched for twelve days by the grßve of his slr.in master.— New Fork Triiune.
