Late Northern and European news. From the New York Herald, of the 27th instant, we collate the following: English, French, and Russian views. The Europa, at Halifax, brings news from Europe to the 12th of January--three days later. The advices are of a very important character revealing as they do the excellent effect produced in the Cabinets and amongst the peoples of the leading powers of the Old World by the surrender of Mason and Slidell to England, as well as by the report of the mode in which it was accomplished by the Lincoln Government. The London Post, the organ of Lord Palmerston, acknowledges that due reparation has been made, and intimates that the law of neutrals at sea will be reconsidered. The Paris Moniteur officially expresses the "satisfaction" felt in France in consequence of the act, while we find that the news produced an advance of one per cent. on the Bourse. The Journal de St. Petersburg, the organ of the Russian Empire, congratulates Mr. Sewa

is said that the Tuscarora is very badly built, that her guns are too large and heavy for a vessel of her size and class, there not being room enough to work them properly. She is very leaky, and the men are obliged to be kept at the pumps; and it is the opinion of those who have visited her, competent to form an opinion, that she will not be able to stand the shock from such heavy metal as she carries. Is the Sumter a Cruiser or privateer? The Moniteur de la Flatte, of Paris, January 12th, says: We remark that since the Sumter has been spoken of in Europe the majority of newspapers, and even those most favorable to the Confederate States, designate this ship under the name of privateer. The London Shipping Journal says: The admission of the Sumter into Cadiz is, so far as it goes, a direct acknowledgment by Spain of the South as a belligerent State.--It may be more than this. There is considerable doubt whether the Sumter should be regarded as a privatee

Geo. Peabody Esq., of London--another great Benevolent Project. --A letter from the Hon. Thurlow Weed, dated London, January 12, has the following: After breakfasting this morning I went to the great American banker, George Peabody, Esq., who retires from business before long, and is endeavoring to do good with his large fortune. While, of course, I am not at liberty to speak of what is to remain sealed, I may say that he is just now maturing a plan for disposing of $500,000 in a way that, should the opportunity be afforded, will prove permanently precious to the unfortunate and destitute of London, and beneficial in other and important respects.

e received instructions to co-operate with you." (This order was signed by Aide-de-camp Lay.) It was just before the surrender of the Pensacola navy-yard (January 12. ) that Lieutenant Slemmer, calling upon Commander Armstrong, obtained the aid of some thirty common seamen or laborers, (but no marines,) which, added to his fo by the wires, there will be corresponding local movements, and the attempt to reinforce will be useless" (Quotations from a note made by Aid de Camp Lay, about January 12, of the President's reply to a message from me.)

by the American trade from the operations of the Alabama, on the ground that the ship was built in England and manned by British subjects in violation of the law of nations.

Interesting matter for our Lady Readers. --The Paris correspondent of the London Court Journal, in a letter dated January 12th, describes the latest fashion in wearing hair at the Tuileries ball on the 11th. He says: The hair no longer hangs a la Grecque on the neck behind, but is brought forward and threatens all offenders in helmet fashion on the summit of the head. "The promissory organs," as the satirists of phrenology denominate those low down towards the nape of the neck, and which have hitherto been concealed by the hair, now stand revealed in all their ugly discretion. It is a horrible thing to relate, but the truth must be told. The parting runs all along the top of the head without any straight line in front, and the short frizzy curls round the brow have replaced the noble-looking bandeaux drawn back from the forehead, and showing "the good lumps" to the best advantage. Is it any consolation to learn that the fashion has been imposed by the hair-dresser
