FARTHER POINT, C.E., Sunday, May 6. The steamship Bohemian, from Liverpool 25th. via Queenstown 26th ult., passed this point at 4 1/2 P.M., en route to Quebec. The steamship Illinois from New-York arrived at Southampton on the morning of the 23d. She would probably not leave on her return before the 28th.
