ARRIVAL OF THE EUROPA

We have received by the arrival of the royal mail steam-
ship Europa, E. G. Lott, commander, on Sunday, at
midnight, our accounts from New York of the 3d instant.
Our usual telegraphic despatch two days later has not,
however, arrived. _

The Europa left Boston at 10 minutes past 1 o'clock on
the afternoon of the 4th instant ; touched at Halifax on
the 6th, at 5.56, a.m., left at 7.30. a.m., and arrived in
the Mersey at midnight precisely, after a run of 11 days,
3 hours, and 36 minutes. She encountered throughout
very strong head gales and heavy seas; rendering her
passage unusually trying. She brought 36 passengers.
The United States mail steamer Atlantic, Captain West,
arrived at New York at half-past one o'clock on the after-
noon of the Ist instant, after a fine run, calculating
difference of time, of 11 days 6 hours and 40 minutes.
The West India mail steamer, Great Western, Captain
E. J. Wolfe, arrived at Mobile Point at noon on the 25th
alt., with mails of the 20th from Vera Cruz, 842,000 dol-
lars on freight, and 11 passengers.
We learn from Rio Janeiro that the Brazilian Govern-
inent had formally demanded satisfaction for the destruc
tion of her fort and four vessels by H.M. steamer Cormo-
rant. _ _ _

Political affairs in the United States were active. The
Secretaryship of the Interior had been declined by Mr.
Jenkins. Congress still sat, but had transacted no busi-
ness of note. On the 2nd two attempts to modify the
tariff had been defeated. Some anxiety had been
awakened relative to the position of Texas. Governor
Bell had issued a second Message of a belligerent cha-
racter. A committee had been appointed by both houses,
and resolutions had been adopted to maintain the integ-
rity of her territory at all hazards. Later, a bill was in-
troduced authorising the raising of five regiments of 1000
each. The United States Cabinet, it is stated, had ad-
dressed a despatch to the Governor to suspend his deci-
sion upon Santa Fe, and eiders had been sent to Colonel
Monroe, Military Governor in New Mexico, to submit to
the state auth

Mexico, but to resist 1

Madame Avezzani, lady of General Avezzani, had died
from the effects of her late fall in New York.
According to the New York Express, late advices from
Louisiana, Alabama, Texas, and other cotton growing
regions represent the crop as progressing firmly with some
few exceptions ; and " the probability is that the crop will
be nearly an average yield, the croakings of interested
parties to the contrary notwithstanding."

A CAPTIVE LADY AMONG THE CAMANCHEE INDIANS.
—The Van Buren (A.rkansas) Infelligencer says, a trader
among the Camanchee Indians has discovered, in a ramp
of that nation, a white woman, fair and comely in ap-
pearance, who Is intermarried among them, and says she
is sister of Lieutenant Love or Lovett, who commanded
a trail which left Independence, about three years ago,
for Santa F 6, and that she was in company with the
party when it was attacked by the Camanchees, and that
her brother was badly wounded, a large number of the
men were killed, and she, with a number of men, were
carried off prisoners by the Indians. She says she is well
treated by her husband, but the women are cruel to her ;
that she is anxious to return to her friends, and that four
or five good riding horses will procure her ransom.
WILFUL BURNING OF AN INDIAMAN : Loss OF
£4o,ooo.—Accounts have been received of the destruction
by fire, in Cum-Dingmoon Bay, in China, on the night of
the 24th of June, of the Elizabeth, Indiaman. The ship
had arrived a few days before, from Calcutta, with a
valuable cargo of opium, cotton, rice, and 1,000 bags of
saltpetre, and had commenced unloading on the 13th of
June The crew sleeping in the forecastle were awakened
by suffocating smoke. and instantly ran on deck. They
gave an alarm by ringing the ship's bell, and boats put
off to her assistance from the shore and the ships in the
harbour. Every effort was made to extinguish the fire
but without effect, and the mooring chains were slipped
to let the ship drift in shore. An explosion of spirits in
the steward's-room gave warning to those on board, and
they took to their boats. Ten minutes afterwards the
shin blue up with a dreadful explosion, and in the next
minute disappeared under water. An investigation next
day led to the conclusion that the fire had been wilfullly
caused by one of the labourers employed in unloading the
vessel, but the guilty person had not been detecteJ. The
ship and cargo were valued at £40,000.

HEROISM OF A BOY.—On Friday a lad, about 13 years
of age, was driving his mother (Mrs. Humphery) and five
