The sorew steamship lot dus, Crptaia Lamb«et, lesarrived at ths port, having tett Havre cathe D6th, and Soathampwn on te Lith alt. ‘This vessel b’ings between 600 aud 709 tons of (most valuable continental merciaudise, shipped at Havre, the» orth of which is e-timated at over a Jaillion of doliars, She jas al-o eighteen jackasses & Bpavish breed, intended for breeding mules ta She Southern States, and absut torty very valuable prize Merino si-cep, tor improving the breed of these fmimals, She bring, besides, over 100 first and Becond san pecengers. The Indiana was despatched as anextra steamer from Havre and Southsmpton, by Messrs. Croskey &Co., the American ageats of the Latter piace, in Consequence of the great preasure for freight and Passengers at this season o! the year. Sc is wothe Consignment of C. H. Sand, E-q., of this city, and will start agaia for Southampton direct, taking freight, specie, pa cels snd pussengers, for South- ampton, Havre and Loudoc, tu abouta week, and | will doubtless make u most prosperous voyage. A considerable smount of attention will be ex: ited among the nautical men by the artival of thissteamer, as rhe is pronounced to be the fluest British screw propeller that has ever visited an American port. She was built by C. J. Mare & Co., ‘of Blackwall, the builders of the celebrated Hima- Taya, and is of 2,600 tons barthen, witn engines of | 600 horse power by Messra. Mandalay & Co., of London. Her owners are the General Screw Steam Shipping Company of Lonaon, an association pos- sessing the finest fleet of screw vessels in the world, and having s paid up capital of one miition sterling, sD invested in chips of a similar class, employed in carrying the British government mails be- fween Southampton, Australia, the Cape, In- dis and China. The Argo, a sister ship to the Indiana, built aleo by Mare, is renowned for having fzom England to Australis. + Although the Inciana hes engines of the nominal power of 400 horses, capavle of wo:king to 800 thomwe power, sot abe is heavily rigged as a clipper @ailing chip, and has often made fourteen knots wander canvass alone, and has steamed eight knots | fgainst o heavy monsoon in the Indian Seas. Her | external appearance is beautiful in the extreme, as, with her painted ports snd taught rig, she looks woore like a frigate than a merchant steams'ip. Besides the Indiana, the General Screw Company | peesesces the following ships, all of precisely the | ize of the Indians, viz.: Queen of the South, Hy- daspes, Argo, Lady Jovelyn, Calcutta, Mauritias gad Harbinger. Another and larger class of ships Belonging to the same awocistion consists of the Croeus, Jason, Gold Fleece, and Prince—four ships ef 3,500 tons burthen, 2,760 tons register, built ex- preasly for the Australian trade between Southamp @on and Sydney. They have also the Bosphorus, Propontis, Hellespont, Cape of Good Hope, Natal, Sir Robert Peel, and a number of smaller veesels, in all upwards of twenty-five steamers. ‘The accommodation for passengers on board the Indiana exceeds anything that has ever yet crossed the Atlantic for convenience, rouminess, taste aud elegance, and in every way merits the inspection of @ar steamship owners. The cabins are in fact large fooms replete with every elegance. Separate water closets to each sleeping cabin, every one of which Arrtval of the Germann, The United States mail steamship Hermann, Capt.

Events in Europe of a warlike character are so fast hastening upon each other, that it may well be said, of all Europe. as it is of France — tei Vimprevu est coustanment a Vordre du Jour, We have now the news of a serious out- breuk in that miserable couatry, Spain, which up to this time, threatens to overwhelm the government in absolute disgrace. I will give you the news to tee tatest dates we have, all communication by mail having been cut off for two days past. On the 27th ultimo, the disaffection of the people led to an open resistance, and at the head of some two thousand cavalry, General O'Donnell, assisted by Gen. Dalce, marched out from the garrison of Madrid, and took a po- the 28th, the accounts on our side, report some warm work, and on the other, nothing like fighting. On the 28th, General Que- sada weut out with some of the troovus who had remained faithful, amounting to two brigades, to attack the insurgents, and was vigorously ériven back to the city, with considerable loss. On the next day the Minister Blaser, in his turn went ont at the head of all the Queen’s troops, and commenced an attack at 7 o'clock, A.M. The engagement lasted throughout al- most the entire duy, and the ivfanwy being clorely besieged by the insurgents, formed themselves into squares, Agaiust them Col. Galligos, of the insurgents, maie a furioas cbarge, when the squares broke, and dis- charged five pieces of artillery into the Colonel’s ranks. Gallijos was taken prisoner, but Gen. O'Donnell instantly rallying his men, attacked the infantry, rescuing Gallijos from their hands, aud seizing all their artillery. Af- ter this, the Queen’s troops retreated into the city, leaving a large number of dead and wounded on the field. The loss to the insur- ed: tha moet rapid voyage ‘ont and Hoaie'| gents was inconsiderable. Among the wound- ed of the regulars was Gen. Messina. The news from the Proviuces indicates a ge- neral rising against the government. Valencia and Andalusia are said to have declared against the government. as also Navarre. Valladolid, Saragossa and Biscay are sending ia forces to aid the insurgents, This news comes through @ reliable source, more to be relied upon than the papers gene- rally. What it is to end in is hard to ‘foretell. Gen. O’Donnell is unquestionably one of the strongest men and the ablest military com- mander of Spain, and it cannot be supposed he has headed this movement unprepared by pre- vV.ous arrangements extending beyond Madrid and itsvicinity. He is the same man wh» was formerly Captain-General of Cuba, and di- rected the construction of the fortifications of that island. The opposition is of course only to the pre.ent government, and does not look toa republic; yetit shows the horrible coa- dition of things in that unhappy couatry. The effect of this rising,in Spain at this period has mahogany chests of drawers, sofas and other | Sppliances hitherto anknown in Atlantic steamsbips. Built, especially for voyages in the tropicagshe ppace given to each cabin, and the general veutila- ftlon of the ship, is decidedly superior to any of our large paddle steamers. Bath rooms, both for gen- flemen and ladies, with hot, cold, shower and vapor athe are provided, and can be used at any hour, nd area new feature altozether. The saloon is beautifully chaste, convenient and well fitted. At Havre the Indiana was visited by thousands of and her arrival there created quite an ex- @itemert.

At any other time it would not amount to much, as assistance from the neighboring States could soon succeed in quelling it. But while Fraace would fain take part in the game, her head and hands are full of chastisements to bullying Russia, as she is called. And bat for the fear- ful consequences of rebellion at this time in Europe, France would rejoice at the downfall of the present dynasty in Spain. England, too, bas no heart to sustain Isabella. Yet the ine- vitable tendencies of republicanism have driven France and England into an alliance, which though unnatural in itself is potent for the pro- tection of royalty, and in the event of final suc- cess against Russia will be formidable towards | republicanism even on the western hemisphere, and they cannot and dare mot hope success to eyca the insurgents of Spain.

About 11 o’clock he crossed the bridge over Merrimack, betweea Haverhill aad Bradford, when two men passed him; and shortly afterwards a third man came up behind him, keep- gob orer, tis fellow passed him’ beeping aboct two got over, fellow im, Ing about two rods ahead. Arriving at about halfa mile from Mr. G.’s residence, this scamp turned, took de liberate oim,and shot Mr. M.in the abdomen, Mr M., on receiving the ball, fell, and the murderer fled. wounded young man was afraid to cali_ for belp, lest his assailant should retara and finiah his work of death. On arriving home he aroused the family, saying to Mr. G., “I am a dead man.” A ;bysician was at once called. A probe was pass- ed into the bleeding wound several inches, but no traces of the bail could be found. Several eminent physicians have since been calied, and ali pronounce | the case hopeless. No cause is Crs for this horrid deed—the wounded man never having had a quarrel with anybody, and being regarded by all With the highest esteem. The dar! of the night prevented his A ge ayeiy! his murderer, who wore a black coat, and who he thiuks as neither druak, nor crazy,a-r Irish, but it isthought was mistaken in his victim, and killed tho wrong mav. Tae great est excitement prevails in Bradford and vicinity, where nothing of the kind has ocurred before. A meeting of the citizens has been called, and a liberal | reward will be offered for the detection of the scoundrel, of whom no trace has yet been found.— Lowell Courier, July 31. e Iearnfrom the Dunkirk Journal, that i) the woods reached some outbuildings near that village on Thursday last. and before the flames could be checked, five buildings were de stroyed.

We have lesru- ed an inte esting fact ia relation to the tizat ay Ojo Caliente Creek, that we wore uot before aware of. It appears the Indians had selected that plase fora general fight, as it was very strong in front, and could not be turned withont 4 march of several Mniles. Col Cooke saw this, and resulv-d to filt em by a bold mancuvre, He ordered Lieut. Sell, with his dragoons, to charge up the rocky ledge—which he performed in fine style—the borses clamben: over almost inace: asi rockx—aud davhivg into the front line of the enemy, drove tiem frou ther potition. This saved a general fight, and n> doubt preserved many valuable lives, We gla sly make these corrections in refecence to Col. Cooke, be- cause we desire fo award toeach one his. full mi- litory merit.
