AMERICAN INTELLIGENCE  ARRIVAL OP THE STEAM-SHIP EUROPA.  LIVERPOOL, SATERDILT EVENING.—The British and North American royal mail steam-ship Europa arrived in the Mersey at six o'clock this evening, after a remarkably quick run of 10 days. The Europa brought upwards of 140 passengers, and the usual weekly mails; also nearly £lOO,OOO in specie. The advices by this arrival are to the 7th inst. from New-York, and Bth from Boston, four days later than those received via Southampton. There is no news of importance. From Washington we learn that the supposed organ of the government at Washington declares that unless the seizure of the Messilla Valley with an armed force, by Governor Tries, of Chihuahua, is disavowed by the Mexican authorities, .The United States cannot hesitate how to act.' This language, which is very significant, is represented as bearing the impress of authority. An anonymous writer in Washington has given circulation to a report that Secretary Marcy is to go out as Minister to France, and that Colonel Benton will succeed him as Secretary of State. The navy department has issued orders for the immediate return of the United States frigate San Jacinto, which at last accounts was lying off Alexandria, Egypt.  _ The Abolitionists, Free Sellers, Spiritualists, and strong-minded women, have at length got into a very fair way of exhibiting themselves in their true light as the enemies of Christianity, morality, and every. thing holiest and best in our institutions. They have met in convention to the number of a few hundreds, in the city of Hartford, for the purpose, as set forth in the call, of freely and fully discussing the origin, authority, and influence of the Jewish and Christian Scriptures. This call was signed by some hundred and seventy persons of both sexes—a suggestive fact of the spread of infidelity, if not of insanity. The Abolitionist infidels have now taken rope enough, and tbo suicidal result is inevitable.  Governor Martin, in his message to the New Hampshire legislature, recommends the establishment of a board to investigate accidents and protect life on railroads, with plenary powers to establish rules, regulate speed, examine the qualifications of employees, and make an other arrangements necessary for the better security of lifo and lirob on the railroads within the State.  A New-York paper of the latest date gives the following:items of news:—The sales of cotton at NewOrleans during the week ending on Friday, amounted to ten thousand bales, at which time the stook on hand was 131,000 bales. The increased receipts at all the southern ports over those of last year at this time, foot up 236,000 bales. The cold nights and droughts are said to have had a very unfavourable effect on the crops along the banks of the Mississippi and Red rivers. This, in connexion with the last European advices, was probably the cause of giving more firmness to the tparket on Saturday. . .  We understand that the steamer Hancock, belonging to the Behring's Straits expedition, has returned to Norfolk in a leaky condition, and will have to go into dock for repairs. A murderous affray occurred at Salmon Falls, N H. Three men having, his said, insulted a female, Messrs. Maxwell and Pray espoused her cause, whereupon the assailants murdered Mr. M., and severely stabbed his companion. Two of the persons engaged in the assault base been arrested.  A large number of melancholy disasters are recorded by telegraph as having recently occurred in different parts of the country. The "house of Mr. Hildreth, at Kenosha, Wis., was set on fire by lightning on the 2d inst., and Mrs. H. perished in the flames. A log of wood got fast in one of the wheels of the steamer Winslow at Louisville, and in attempting to remove it seven of the crew were drowned. Rev. Ira S. Watkins and Ethan Clark were drowned by the upsetting of a sail-boat in the Mohawk river. Steam boat explosions are again becoming quite frequent. The boilers of the steam tug Eclipse exploded at Chicago, killing two of the employees on board, and dreadfully scalding several others. The engineer is not expected to survive his injuries. The boat, which was new, and worth about 10,000 dols., is represented as having been literally torn to pieces. One thousand acres of coal lands, situated in the George's Creek region, Md., were recently purchased by New-Yorkers for the sum of SlBO,
