Later from Europe

ST. JOHNS, N. F., April 28.

The steamship North American, from Liverpool 17th, passed Cape Race Sunday. She was boarded by the news yacht, and a summary of her news obtained.

The Great Eastern had been got off the Gridiron at Milford in safety.

Consols closed at 93 7-8 a 94 for money.


GREAT BRITAIN. – A deputation from the British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society waited on Mr. Adams, the American Minister, on the 16th, and presented an address in which the hope is expressed that the restoration of the Union would be founded upon the abolition of the true cause of the strife.

The reply of Mr. Adams is described as having been very satisfactory to the deputation. But the Times thinks it indicates the policy of Northern politicians, which is to have liberty to deal according to circumstances with the slavery question.


FRANCE. – The Prince De Joinville is about publishing a pamphlet on iron-plated [frigates]. This work, it is said, will present the subject under new aspects. He does not admit the invulnerability of the new vessels.

The Bourse was flat on the 14th and lower.
