ADDITIONAL FROM EUROPE.

The steamship AragO, from Southampton, Sept.
22d, arrived at New Y ork on Wednesday. Her advi-
later than those received already by tele-
graph, but the papers of the 22d furnish us some
additional items.
The Arago experienced constant succession of
strong westerly winds and gales during the entire
passage. She brings two hundred and fifty pas
sengers, the usual mail, and full assorted cargo.
Among the passengers are Col. Radsof and fam
lily, Charge d Affairs from Denmark to Washington,
Geo. II. Goundie, Esq. United States Consul at Iu-
rich, Lieut. c. Halliday, of the Swedish navy, Nine
Cora de WihorSt, prima donna to the Italian OPERA
New y ork, and Chas. Bondansquie Esq, manager
of the New Orleans opera, with a troupe of artists
News had been received in official quarters, that
a brother of Radama, the former King of NADIA
gascar, was going to attempt expedition against
Madagascar, where he is stated to have numerous
partsans.
PRUssGA.-No date had, as yet, been fixed for the
cOnvOcatiOn of the Chambers. The Times Vienna
correspondent saws: In diplomatic circles it is
stated that the Prince of Prussia will, in the month
of October next, be appointed 'Prince Regent by
his brother. the King.
SPAIN.-The Times has the following private tel
egram: 1t is announced that the elections for de-
puties are to take place in October. The state of
seige will shortly be raised in Catalonia. 1t is
pected that law on the press will be shortly pre-
sented The garrison of Cuba is to be reinforced
by 5000 men. Tightness prevails in the money
market.
TURKEY.-The Times says a rumor was current
in the Turkish capital, that Fuad Pacha was to de-
mand explanations, in London, concerning the bonn
bardment of Jeddah. A submarine telegraph had
been laid down to Smyrna.
CONDITION OF THE CABLE.-Mr. Varley, ''the Elec-
trican of the Electric and International Telegraph
Company"-so he is styled by the company-has
made a report the state of the cable observed
by him on the 9th, 7th, Sth, 9th and 10th of Sep
tember, and we regret to say is by no means en-
couraging. He finds "a fault of great magnitude,
at distance of between 245 and 800 statue miles
from Valentia," and possibly in water OF but 4lO
fathOms in depth.
He finds the cable unbroken, but thinks the
power used will shortly eat away the exposed cop
per wire in the faulty place by electrotype decom-
position He is satisfied ALSO that there Is another
''faut," more distant than this, the approximate
locality of which he could not estimate without
communication with Newfoundland. From authen-
tic data shown him at Valentia, he also of opinion
that there fault in the cable on board the
Agamemnon before it submerged, Offering a
resistance equal to 900 or 1,200 miles of cable,
situated at distance of about 500 miles from one
end of the 200 mile coil, and supposed to be the
fault which caused so much alarm when the ships
were 500 miles from Ireland. He is satisfied, by
experiments, that the cable has been seriously, If
not fatally, impaired by the use of too powerful
currents from the large induction coils, especially
from this side, and that the present conducting
strand is too small to have answered its purpose,
even had the insulation been sound.
Mr.. Varley closes his discouraging catalogue
with what, though intended to convey some conso-
aion to the directors is perhaps the most dlscour
aging part of his report. lie says "ltls not now
ever, altogether impossible that some Ineligible
signals may vet be received through the cable,
stated in my previous communication. He does
not say that such result is even probable, much
less that the present cable can ever be turned to
any practical use, but implies a contrary opinion.
The publication of such report by the company is
a practical admission that they cannot escape its
conclusions, and that they have no better face to
put upon the matter.

Considerable attention has been recently cXclted
by the fact that emigrants have been returned to
this country by order of the municipal authorities
of New ork. As these people have been brought
to Liverpool, we have made inquiries at that port,
and have ascertained that the great majority are
lunatics, and that all are paupers. The following
statement has been furnished by the Liverpool au-
thorities, through correspondent, by which 1t
will be found that ALL with the exception of three,
are British subjects, those three being Germans
The entire of those landed from the United States
| are at present in the Union Workhouse, at Liver
pool.

were landed from America supposed to be classi-
fed thus Ireland, 49, Germany, 3; England, 3.
On Thursday, I'd September, IA returned emf
grants were brought to the workhouse, supposed
to belong as follows: Ireland. "a; England l; Scot
land, I; newfoundland, l; West Indies l.
AUsrRIA.-It is again in contemplation to reduce
the army. 1t is even affirmed that the Emperor
has acquiesced in this measure, which would lead
to a saving of 10000 600 IL 100000 of horins to
the budget.
DESTRUCTIVE FLOOD IN IRELAND.
A correspondent of the Dublin Erening Nail sup
plies the following melancholy results of extra
ordinary fall of rain with which that part of Ire
land visited:
ABBEYFEALE, Sept 1S.-This place visited
with an awful food, on Friday evening. About
o'clock the river Feale began to rise, ndsoon cocks
of hay, stacks of oats, roofs and doors of houses,
were floating down the current. The night
closing in, and apprehensions began to be enter
taned for the beautiful bridge which unites the
counties of Limerick and Kerry at this place.
About o'clock, the water had risen to within
about nine inches of the top, when almost without
a sound greater than that of a boat moved into the
sea shingle, the whole structure, which was
of timber, gave way and carried Off Feale
bridge is down and five persons were drowned
The bridge itself, one of the handsomest struc-
lures of the kind, consisting of single arch was
safe, but two dry arches in the raised road leading
to it had burst from the accumulation of hay, &c.
carried down, and the scene of desolation caused
by it was frightful. Large stones were carried
more than hundred yards over Mr.. Norman's
farm. have heard his loss calculated at at least
ESQ. Mr.. Harnett, of MOynha, has lost in oats
and hay more than double that amount; many of
the farmers whose lands adjon the river Feale and
its tributaries, have lost from three or four to six
or eight years rent.
Those in the uplands escaped very well. The
cause of this inundation has not been ascertained
1t came on most suddenly and quite unexpectedly
There had been some rain during the day, and abou
four or five o'clock it became rather heavy, but mo-
