 under date of November i:<ib, aldressed to the New 

 York 7tm«, that country Is In a frightful condition. 

 Such is the State of affair*, that the population 

 hear of new atrocities without any expression of 

 surprise. "Tbe ink had scarcely dried on my last 

 letter to yon," esys the writer, "in which I men- 

 tioned the execution of seven Americans at Z*ca-

 luse of immediate action on the 

 part of the British Minister, Be wrote a moat 

 loathing note to the Government, and the Govern- 

 nent expressed Its disbelief of the story. The 

 eport has since been confirmed, and correspond- 

 noe has ceaseed between Her Majesty's Min- 

 ster and the Government. The nextevent of our 

 lines to record, is the taking of the castle of l'erote. 

 This fortress, which has held out for ten months 

 igalnat the Government troops, fell, on tbe morning 

 iftbelCth InsL, into the hands of Gen, Echeagary. 

 The victory was gained without blood, althougn 

 its consequences promise to bo bloody. General 

 Eobeagaray, In bis dispatch to the Government, 

 gays he intends to shoot all the officers, from cor- 

 poral up, and onrjith of the soldiers! 



In the meantime, while these events have been 

 taking place, the capital has been preparing for 

 ! of selge. Trenches and breastworks have 

 arranged outside of all the garitaa. The 

 of this step of precaution is found in a gen- 

 eral belief that in the next ten days thia city will 

 again beselged by the enemy. Families in all 

 ■ surrounding villages have been deserting their 

 mes in the past week, and coming here. Three 

 days ago orders were given for the suspension of 

 the railroad trains leaving or entering the city 

 The work on tbe fortifications still 

 goes ahead, and at every quarter of an bour in 

 long nights, the cry of 'Sentinel alar-ta!' 

 goes up through all the lonely streets of this capital, 

 horrifying to the ear as the howl of tbe hyena 

 from a grave-yard." 



Latbb Intelligence fboh Nbw Mexico.— The 

 St. JoBeph (Mo.) OtuetU of tbe 27th nit, says:— 

 We have been permitted to see a letter written to 

 gentleman In this city, dated Santa Fe, October 

 1st, in which tbe writer states that news waa 

 eceived in that city the evening previous of an 

 attack upon Fort Defiance by the Navajoe Indians. 

 The Indians were repulsed with a loss of ninety 

 ; the troops sustaining a loss of four men. 

 The Indians also drove a large number of horses 

 belonging to the Government. The emigrants who 

 e attacked at the crossing of the Colorado by 

 Mohaves, arrived at Albuquerque in a destitute 

 condition, having lost eight hundred bead of oat- 

 jrs.es and mules, together with all their pro- 

 is and equipage. Their wagons were left on 

 tbe Colorado, and they bad to return to Albnquer- 

 i on foot, a distance of six hundred miles, 

 rly naked, and with nothing to eat but beef. —

 subjection. At the present time the Navajoee, 

 Mohaves and Diggers are all hostile to the whites, 

 and will not miss an opportunity of cutting off any 

 small party tbat may attempt to pass through their 



ticulars of the trip of the Canal Steamer Hugglep, 

 now at the east She left Buffalo November 'J 1st, 

 at B P. M , with a load of beef, broom-oorn and 

 grass seed, as [oil as she could stow in the hold and 

 between decks. She left Rochester at 7 P. M, on 

 the 22d, only 23 hours from Buffalo, and left Utlca 

 at 7 A. M, on the 25th, having been detained seven 

 hours by boats aground on the route. The entire 

 trip from Buffalo to Utica was S3 hours, distance 

 i£ I miles, average rate of speed, including deten- 

 tions, a fraction better than three miles an hour. 

 Exclusive of detentions from other boats aground, 

 the time wasTG hours, and the average speed about 

 three and one third miles per hour. Mr. Prosseb 

 writes ibat with a perfect navigation there can be 

 no doubt that steamers will go from tide-water to

A Windmill Frnr at Sex. — A late issue of the 

 Cork RtporU', says that the Frundshung, of Liver- 

 pool, laden with rice for the Cape, put into Queens- 

 town a day or two since iu distress. She sprung a 

 leak at sea, and was filling at such a rate that tbe 

 ordinary pumps, exerted with the power of all, 

 could not have saved her. In this strait her cap- 

 totu, Adam John Bray, bethought him of a wind- 

 mil! pump, and the idea had no sooner occurred to 

 htm than he set about realizing it, and committed 

 the execution of It to William Foulkes, his carpen- 

 ter, who, being an expert and skillful artlzan, car- 

 ried out the captain's idea to perfection. By the 

 power of this extemporized pump the vessel was 

 kept afloat one hundred days, until she made 

 Qneenstown in safety, where she may now be seen, 

 a signal proof of the power of the human mind, 

 when energetically and ingeniously exerted, over 

 the greatest difficulties.

It is butafeir weeks since we chronicled the 

 destruction oi the Ocean steamer Austria, by tire, 

 and the loss of passengers. The cause of the dis- 

 aster was attributed to tbe accidental upsetting of 

 a kettle of tar, oied for the purpose of fumigating 

 the vessel One of the passengers, PniLir- Bbbby, 

 contradicts this statement In a letter to the N. Y. 

 TWj. He says IbBt on tbe day before the burn- 

 ing, it was reported on board that tbe CapUin had 

 made a bet that he would be in New York on the 

 18th, (the following Saturday. To do this would 

 have required the vessel to make 200 miles a day, 

 whereas she bad only been making 211. To ac- 

 complish this, the fire was increased, and on Sun- 

 day evening the Homes came out above the smoke 

 pipe fifteen or twenty feet in the air— thus giving 

 a column of Bixly or seventy feet of flame from the 

 furnaces. The passage ways between decks became 

 oppressively hot, and the whole vessel heated up. 

 further adds: 



Taking the captain's belling, together with its 



conditioned requirements, and the excess of fire in 



the furnace immediately afterwards, and these facte 



the simple story:— 'That they were firming 



tssels to the uttermost, and which resulted in a 



step beyond the uttermost,' 



Now, at tbe time tbe alarm was given, the ilames 



;re coming in under tbe quarter-deck. They 



ust have ravished already two hundred and fifty 



feet of the ship's length. If the tar-bucket was tbe 



use of the fire, the fire started in the fore part 



the steerage; and to completely overmaster the 



midships, and dad its way Into the quarter-deck,

Will this not give some clue to the captain's 

 fatuity? Could not a guilty conscience — a con- 

 sciousness of doing wrong, and the fear of this 

 result — have been causes which made the captain 

 a child when he should have been a giant? 



Toe English Indian Fund.— Tbe aggregate 

 amount of subscriptions for the relief of tbe suf- 

 ferers by the mutiny in India, was £133,020, or 

 about two millions of dollars. Of this sum £127,-
