Arrival ofthe steamer Europa.
THREE DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE

New YORK, Jan. 24.-Ihe steamer Hu'op'
arrived here this forenoon, bringing Liver
pool dates to Saturday, the 9th INST Inc
Europa arrived out on the u, and the Anglo
Saxon on the 9TH.
The Europa brings no tidings OF the Ariel,
the safety of which is now involved IN seri-
ous doubt, from the fact that she was never
regarded as a thorough sea-going vessel.
She was built for the California trade and
scarcely capable of contepding with the
disastrous gales reported by the recent arr'-
walls.
The general intelligence from Europe Is
the mos. important we have had tor several
months, embracing India news, important
financial and commercial intelligence, and
the decease of a number Of prominent per
sonages.
The European Times says the Indian news
startled the whole country. Annexed is the
official dispatch:
"MALTA. Jan. The steamer CaradOc has
arrived with important intelligence from In
dia. Gen. Hayelock died on the 10Th OF No
vember Of dy5entery, brought 90 by expo
sure and anxiety. Ga the 9th November,
an affair took place near CAwnpore, between
Gen. Windaam's division and the Gwahor
mutineers, in which the Brush troops re-
treated, with the t,tal loss OF the tents OF the
sixty-iOurth, the eighty-second, and eighty
eighth regiments, three thousand IN number,
which were entirely burned by the enemy.
The sixty-fourth reg imeut Is reported as
nearly cut up"
A message received by the GJyernor-Gene-
raj from SIR Colin Campbell, on the ! th oil
December, contains All account OF q suOsc-
quent action, fought by him, with the Gwallor
contingent, near Cawnpore, IN which the lat
ter were totally defeated, with the loss OF SIX
teen guns, twenty.six carriages oil different
sorts, an immense quantity oil ammunition,
stores, grain, bullocks, and the whole bag
gage of their force. The British loss was
insignificant. One officer only was killed,
viz: Lieut.. Salmon. All the women, chill
dren, sick. &c, from Lucknow, had arrived
in safety at Allahabad.
The Calcutta Gazette Extraordinary con-
tains a deeply interesting detailed account OF
the defence of Lucknow, being the otlcIal re-
port of Brigader English. The privatlons
endured by the heroic garrison, and particu
larly by the ladies, were fearful.
The London Gazette, in reviewing the
above news says:-"The GwaliOr contingent
is known to have been the most formidable
body Of troops in arms against the british
government in India. 1t was disciplined,
effective force of 5000 men, complete III or
gauis alton and details. The blow which has
been struck by Sir Colin Campbell, has pro-
badly scattered this formidable force, on
which the insurgents Of Central India chiefly
relied. The CUmmanier-in.chiet will now
be enabled to operate against the Dude 10
surgcnts, of whom he will doubtless give as
good an account as he has OF the GwalIUr
mutineers."
The papers contain extended obituary mott
ces of Gen. lIavelock, Rade'zky, Reschid
Pacha, and Madame Rachel. The latter
died at her estate at Cannes, aged thirty

deal with the rival pretenslons OF European
powers.
