Of coming in collision with the Arsbia)
we have one week later news from Eu-
rope, brought by the A., from Liver
pool, 18th instant The news Of the
successful laying of the Atlantic tele-
graph cable was received in London
with the greatest enthusiasm, and the
opinion was expressed on Change that
the union of the United States and
Great Britain would lead to the unity
Of all nations. We have no report Of
the arrival Of the AgamemnOn.
Advices from Vienna state that Aus
tria had concentrated force of 33 900
men on the Danube, in Southern Hun
garia.
From India we learn that the REBEL
ion in Central India had been effectu-
ally suppressed. LordCaning had issued
proclamation, in which he states that
no persons Immediately connected
with the murder OF Eenglishmen need
hope for pardon.
We have adviccs from Rio Janerio
to the Sd ult. The news presents few
points of interest. The yellow fever
was prevailing, but not with great
force as yet. The Marine Hospital an
nounccs seventeen new cases in the
week ending June 30.
From Washington we learn that it is
becoming evident to the administration
that vigorous and energetic policy
must be pursued towards the Central
and South American republics. With
this view, our government may find it
necessary to invite negotiations upon
postal and commercial affairs, tram
melled with as few restrictions as pos
sible, in order to facilitate trade and
encourage good feelings between the
peoples. The treaties, it is suggested,
should provide for the transmission OF
the mails in armed steamers, which at
same time can convey passengers and
freight, protect commerce, and enforce
the fulfillment of treaties.
The brig Mazatlan, from Cardenas
July 30, arrived at the n. Y. Quaran-
tine on Monday. When one day out,
the captain, Samuel Dodge, Of Booth
bay, died, and the vessel returned to
port to bury him and procure another
captain, which having done, she sailed
again August l. She had some heavy
weather off Iatteras. Coming in the
Hook Monday morning, David Long,
Of Detroit seaman, died, and was
brought up to the upper station for
burial. The brig j. Harris, from Ponce,
2. r., also arrived. All we'll. She
was detained for the action of the
Health Officer.
On Tuesday morning, about 2 10
o'clock, fire broke out in the rear of
Of a block Of frame buildings at Dun
lieth, and entirely destroyed three of
them-known rs the Jefferson House,
kept by King, Chicago House, by Geo.
Schieffer, and Railroad House, by
Jacob Lchmidt.
The buildings were owned by the
occupants. Loss about 1880. Kings
House and contents were fully insured
for 1900 in the Phoenix Co., Of Brook
Ign, N. Y; Geo. Schiefier, insurance
on honse, $1,000 in Chicago ms. Co.
$1,000; Jacob Schmidt fully insured
for 81 500, partly in 4Etna.
The fire was doubtless the work Of
an incendiary, as there was man seen
going up the back stairs about the time
the FIRE broke out. Various rumors
are atioat, and the matter will be prob
ablytnvestigated by the Insurance Co..
interested.
Much alarm prevails in Dunleith
about incendiaries, and strict watch
will be kept by the citizens.
In the Judicial District composed Of
Wappello, Appanoos and other coun.
ties, the Democrats have dominated
for District Judge ii. b. Hsnderhite
for District Attorney, A. Harris, and
for member of the Board of Education
I. B. Perry. With the two first nam.
ed gentlemen, especially with Judge
Paris, we are personally acquainted,
and can therefore speak advisedly OF
oftheir nomination. Probably no bet
ter choice could have been made in
the District than these gentlemen. for
the respective offices for which thew
have been nominated, Having no &C.
qusintance with Mr.. Perry, We Can
only presume that he, too, is we'll quail
lied for the place which his Demo
cratic fellow citizens desire him to oc.
cupy.
