Further news from the North.

Petersburg, Jan. 22.
--The Express has received intelligence from Norfolk to-night, brought to that city by flag of truce.

Mr. T. O. Wise, produce dealer, of Norfolk, has received the Philadelphia Inquirer of the 10th instant. The Inquirer published a dispatch from Washington, which states that General McClellan is worse.

A dispatch dated Albany, the 9th instant, says that a resolution was that day introduced into the New York Legislature, requesting the Washington Cabinet to inaugurate a system for the mutual exchange of prisoners.

A dispatch dated Washington, January 9, says it is hinted in diplomatic circles, that a war with England is inevitable, and it is probable that the next ocean steamer will bring the news of the recognition of the Southern Confederacy. It is reported, on the Avenue, that most important dispatches are coming by the steamer Canada, and that the Government has received the purport of them by telegraph.

There is a heavy pressure from the North on the inactive state of the army of the Potomac. There are fresh rumors to-day of dissections in the Cabinet.

Another expedition is to be fitted out at Annapolis immediately after that under Burnside sails.

Another British steamer has arrived at Annapolis with dispatches for Lord Lyons.

Treasury notes were quoted at New York on the 9th inst at four per cent. discount.

Burnside's expedition, with 35 vessels, has gone to sea and sailed South.
