LATE FROM EURoPE.-The foreign news by
the Europa, which arrived on Sunday last, is
quite interesting. We learn that the great
English General Havelock, died in India on
the 25th of November from dysentery, brought
on by exposure and anxiety while prosecuting
the war against the mutineers.
Onthe 9th of November an engagement took
place near Cawnpore between Gen. Windham's
division and the Gwalior mutineers, in which
the British troops retreated with the total loss
of the tents of three regiments, 5000 in number,
which were burned by the enemy The Gath
regiment is reported to have been nearly cut up
in the encounter. The Gwalior mutineers num-
bered more than 5000 men, completely organ
lied and equipped. Sir Colin Campbell hear
ing of this disaster, quilted Lucknow for Gavin
pore. On the 7th of December he came up
with the mutineers, and totally defeated them,
capturing 16 guns, rs carriages an immense
quantity Of ammunition, stores, &C., and the
whole of their baggage. The British loss in this
action was only one officer All the women and
children, sick, &C., from Lucknow, had arrived
in safety at Allahabad. Troop ships continued
to arrive rapidly at Calcutta.
The Espana, of Madrid, in the course of a
long article on President Buchanan's Message.
expresses the opinion that the Spanish Govern
ment will CONTINUE firm in its refusal to give
satisfaction to the United States in the affair of
the Eldorado, since no insult has been commit
ted, and that it will theoretically reject the in
sulting proposition relative to Cuba"
Efforts to launch the Leyiathan were resum-
ed on the 5th instant with success, the vessel
being moved several feet. The operations were
continued daily up to the departure of the Eu-
ropa, the progress each day amounting to eight
or ten feet. The ship had only sixty feet
more to be moved.

LOCATION OF THE MARYLAND AGRICULTURAL
|CoLLEGE.-We learn from report of the pro-
ceedings Of the trustees of the Maryland Agri-
cultural College, that the farm offered by Chas.
B. Calvert, Esq, about two miles from Mr.. Cs
residence, Riversdale, in Prince Georges coun-
ty, has been selected as the site of the College.
The farm is recognized, by the competent judges
forming the Board Of Trustees, as meeting in
every way the requirements of the institution,
while the location secures many desirable re-
suits. Being Immediately on the line of the
railway between Baltimore and Washington, it
will be readily accessible from all parts of the
State, while its eontiguity to the Federal capt.
tai will give it national prominence that might
not otherwise have been secured. The, farm
contains four hundred acres, has upon it valua-

valuable for the purposes of the institution, is
well watered, abundantly diversified, is unques-

partizan matter, it is probable that
the expense of doing the work of
both houses would not be over three
hundred thousand dollars; and we
believe that it could be we'll done for
even less. The great majority of
publications authorized by Congress
serve no useful purpose, while thou
sands of them are conveyed in wheel.
barrows to the book stores in Wash
ington, and sold for song. Our rea-
ders will understand that the printer
to Congress makes his profits out of
this surplusage. lie does not furnish
the paper; but contracts for the press
work and the setting of the types.
After so many copies are printed, the
cost of reprinting is merely nominal,
and the members who are friends OF
the printer therefore order twenty,
thirty, or fifty thousand copies of a
document, when five or ten thousand
would be an ample supply.
Now, if this work cost the last Con-
gress six hundred thousand dollars,
there is no probability that the present
body will get off for less. In fact, the
sum will be increased. The former
job was divided between three men
now it is nominally given to two
Steedman and Harris; but, as we
have shown, they are harrassed by a
dozen or twenty hungry, ravenous,
broken down country editors and ex-
members of Congress, from Virginia,
Ohio, Tennessee, and other States, all
of whom electionecred and lobbied
against Wendell, who was the only
candidate. Wendell was
the only practical printer in the batch
who had an Office and the facilities to
do the work. He was nominally de-
featcd,; but the successful men have
to go to him to have the work done.
He must have a profit, they must have
a profit. and the country editors must
have profit, so that the job will have
to be multiplied indefinitely. The
whole thing is a piece of the most
corruption that ever was
permitted on the face of the earth--a
nuisance which can only be abated by
the enactment of law for the crea-
ting of "a printing bureau, to be at
tached to one of the departments.

The LccOlnptOn COnstitutiOn-The
Chances.

The Black Republicans and their
allies are felictating themselves upon
their victory in the House of Repre-
sentatives. on the question to refer
the Presidents Lecompton Message to
a special committee, with instructions
to investigate certain subjects con-
nected with affairs in the Territory
Of Kansas. They believe that delay
will be the effect, and that delay may
defeat the admission of Kansas as a
slave State. But we suspect they are
reckoning without their host" The
Senate has referred the subject to the
Committee OH Territories, and we may
expect from them an early report,
with u bill admitting Kansas as q
slave State. The bill will pass with
out unnecessary delay, and be sent to
the House, where it will be taken up
and acted upon, we trust, without re-
gard to the special committee. We
are firm in the faith that the result
will be favorable there-that Kansas
will be admitted with the Lecomton
Constitution. a friend at Washing
ton, who is well posted, writes to us
under date of the Sth inst, after the
vote referring the message to spe-
cial committee had been taken, as
follows:
81 now feel more sanguine than
heretofore that Kansas will be admit
ted with the Lecompton Constitution.
There are believed to be four or five
members from the North, who voted to
raise the special committee, who will
vote for the admission. \

brought into the Union as a slave
State, and that she will continue a
