Astonishing Passage over the Atlantic.


The marine telegraph announced, at one o'clock
yesterday afternoon the steamship Europa, Capt.
Lott, of this port.
She sailed from Liverpool on Saturday, the
l4th instant and was therefore, only eleven daysin
crossing the Atlantic from Liverpool to New York.
The America was once ten days and eight hours
IN crossing to Boston. The distance to New
York is equal to twenty-four hours more.
The swift express steamer Ajax reached the city
about three o'clock with the news.
We are indebted to the officers of the steamer
for some papers. They are public spirited gentle
men. Our regular files came through the Post
Office.
The news is of the greatest Importance.
Our accO units from Ireland are very exciting
O'Brien was convicted, and sentenced to be exc
cuted. McManus was also convicted. See the
details Of this intelligence in another column.
The news from Abstraction France-ndeed
from all parts OF the continent, indicate general
war in Europe. 1t is almost impossible to see a
CLEAN of hope for any other result. Out of such
confusion and anarchy, and so much boodshed,
nothing else can be expected Officers have been
ordered from Paris to immediately join the army
of the Alps, with the view of striking, if neces-
sary, into Italy 1t is to be expected that the in
surrecton in Vienna will PROSTATE the claim of
Austria IN Lombar6y, and set the Italian kingdom
again IN blaze.
The long, dreaded cholera, the approach of which
has been so long heralded, has now, If we may
believe the reports of the London and some of the
provincial newspapers, attained footing IN Eng
land, many decided cases and some deaths
having occurred IN the metropolis as well as IN
the outpor;s
A good deal of interest has been excited by
report from Peel's river that the Esquimaux have
seen some vessels to the east of the Mackenzie
river, which furnish the hope that the long lost
party OF Sir John Franklin, in the Arctic seas,
have conquered the elements, and may, at this
moment, be in perfect safety.
The steamship United States, Captain Hack staff,
sailed from Southampton on the 18th inst, at ii
o'clock, for New York. She took out about eighty
passengers, and large cargo of near 500 tons
measurement 60 DDS, principally from France.
The weather during the week has undergone
very favorable change. With some unsettled
states of the atmosphere in different places, upon
the whole tolerably fine weather has prevailed,
and in Scotland 1t has been genial that the har-
vest has been got In with greater success than has
been experienced for many years,
The several reports which reached us from the
manufacturing districts since our last report, are
again of dscouragng character.
Our continental news is still a record of SAN
gulnary conflicts between rnncedoms and their
reople, OF wars and rumors of wars, and of the
still disorganised state OF almost the whole of Eu-
rope.
The Schleswig- Holsten affair seems to be now
subordinate 10 the great contest going on IN the
central and southern part of Germany, and the
efforts of Lord Palmerston to compel the bellige
rents to keep quiet, is at pre- sent successful Every
thing is quiet In the Duches, and their eventual
pacification depends, as we have always SAID,
upon totally different concentration of events.
In Austria, the ter rible tragedy of war is being
enacted with deadly effect. We were enabled,
ma postscript last we elk, to announce the assassna
ton, or rather butchery, of Count Lamberg, the
Commander-in- Chief of Hungary. The war seems
TO have assumed a determnate character.
The Emperor of Austria mas thrown of the
mask; and. maddened with the murder of his
brave lieutenant, Count Lamberg, who had been
sent TO compose the differences between his
own subjects, he has dissolved the Hungarian
Diets has appointed anew Baron Jellachich Com
mander-rn- Chief OF all the armed troops in Hunga-
ry and the Allied Kingdoms, with despotc pow
ers, and has placed Hungary under martial law.
1t is now clear that Jellachch has been, through
out secretly supported by the Emperor, and the
contest between the Croatians and the IIunga-
rians will be severe. The former had advanced
near Pesth, and last week it thought
hat the Croatians had conquered the Hungarians
n complete victory. Better accounts inform us
hat the Croatians had been partially defeated,
and compelled momentarIy TO retire But il is
plain that they would again advance, and bloody
battle, under the walls of Pesth, would probably
occur Willis, we write, intelligence from Vienna
has reached us, that the appointment of the Ban
10 the post OF Royal Commissary Of Hungary,
and the proposed departure of troops from Vienna
to Join his army, has led to the most deplorable
;cesses. An instruction has taken place at
Vienna-the Emperor has fied-the Minister of
War, Count Latour, has shared the fate of Count
Lamberg and the two Zichys; and Vienna was
in the possession of the insurgents on the 9TH.
1t seems that hostilies in Italy are not renewed,
and. indeed, whilst the French government has so
many domestic affairs to settle, II would be much
to be deplored that she should waste her strength
about foreign affairs An amnesty has been pub
hshed al Milan by the Austrans. We are still In
the dark abou, the progress of the mediation ques-
lion; il is, however, beyond all doubt, that Aus
tria will never yield an inch of Lombardy. Genoa
and Tuscany appear to be again tranquil, and the
threats of Charles Albert, of renewing hostitles,
are wisely forgotten amidst calmer counsels.
The intelligence from Naples and Sicily Is more
ranquilising, but the belligerents having been
stayed IN their career Of destruction by France and
England, heap upon both the most vlndlctive re-
proaches. The English ships OF war seem espc-
cially obnoxious. The Sicilians are organising
defence at every point should the Neapoltan forces
march on Palermo.
The news from Spain and Portugal is of the
usual unsatisfactory CHARACTER.
