Arrival Of the Indiana,

The steamship Indiana, Captain Lambert, ar
rived at New York on the evening of the I'd OF
August, having left Havre on the 18th, and
Southampton on the 10th ult.
The Indiana has on board between 600 and
700 tons of the most valuable continental mer-
chandise, shipped at Havre, the worth of which
is estimated at over million of dollars. She
had also eighteen jackasses of Spanish breed,
intended for breeding mules in the Southern
States, and about forty very valuable prize Me-
rino sheep, for improving the breed of these
animals. She brought besides over one hundred
first and second class passengers.
The Indiana was dispatched as an extra
steamer from Havre and Southampton, in CON
sequence of the great pressure of freight and
passengers at this season of the year She is
to start again for Southampton direct, taking
freight, specie, parcels and packages for South
ampton, Havre and London.
A considerable amount of attention was ex-
cited among the nautical men of New York by
the arrival Of this steamer, as she is pronounced
to be the finest British screw propeller that has
ever visited an American port.
At Havre the Indiana was visited by thous-
ands of people, and her arrival there created
quite an excitement
