Three days Later from Europe.
A telegraphic dispatch from Cape Race Telegraph Station, dated Friday, November 1, says: ‘ The Hamburg steamship Borussia, from Hamburg, via Southampton, Wednesday, Oct. 23, passed this point at 5 o'clock this morning, en route to New York. The news yacht of the associated press boarded her, and obtained the following news dispatch. The advices by the Borussia are three days later than per steamship Europa, and are of considerable interest to our commercial readers, as the cotton market exhibits heavy sales and a large advance, while breadstuffs show a decline. The steamship Bohemian, from Quebec, and the Edinburg, from New York, arrived at Liverpool on the 25th. The steamship Persia, from New York, arrived at Queenstown on the 23d. The bark Benjamin Hallett was fallen in with, no date given, in distress. She was abandoned and the crew saved. The London Times, in a leader, says the blockade of the Southern ports is not effectual, and reminds the Washington Government that foreign nations are bound to recognize only a real blockade. It also shows that the cutting off of the cotton supply is the work of the South as well as the North, and it also seems quite true that all cotton exportation has been forbidden by the Confederate Government, in order that foreign nations, especially England, may be forced to take sides in the American quarrel. In the London money market there is a great abundance of money on the stock exchange, and the indications are of a probable continuance. Consols 92½a92½ for money; 92½ for account. Mexican stocks are quoted at 25¼a26¼ United States 5's and Illinois Central Railroad shares have advanced. ’
