Ths Rebellion in India against Brit ish Authority The Probable Re sult The Difficulty between Spain and Mexico The Brtish Consu late; fyc. Washington, July 11. The intelligence from Europe by the Anglo Saxon, is of deep .interest. The rebellion in India against British author ity has become so serin is as to cause an important chango in the plan for conducling the military opeiations against China. No British troops can be spared from India for the purpose of the war against China, and a large force from England is immediately to be dis patched to the southern British outposts in India. Therefore, with surprising celerity, French troops are substituted for the British force, intended to proceed to China, and they are already on the way. This fact is a remarkable evidence of the continuance of good understand ing between these two powers, and for cibly reminds us of the celebrated American declaration that the two pow ers acted in accord as to all matters in both hemispheres. Another conse quence may result from this change of the program, to wit : that France will in this, as in the Crimean " campaigns, take the lead. If she take the lead in the wars so will she in the peace. Whatever may be the result either of the joint diplomacy or the united arms of these governments, it will be shared equally by both. The serious revolts in India are not likely to shake the deeply-founded fa bric of British power. The are said to have aiisen from apprehension on the part of the natives that their religion was to be overthrown. One proof of this was found in the fact that the car tridges of the Minnie rifles furnished to the Sepoy troops were greased, and that in biting oft the end, the Sepoys were compelled to commit sacrilege. A revolt of the Sepoy regiments oc curred in 1846 from a similar cause. They were furnished from England with leather stocks, made from the hide of the ox, which is one of their sacred animals. These stosks were exchang ed for some made of a different material, and the mutiny was quelled. Spain appears to be still uncertain whether to wage war against Mexico or not. The fourteen hundred men she has sent to Cuba, for operations against Mexico, in concert with Santa Anna, will be of very little avail. The" British Consulate at Philadel phia,1 made vacant by the dismissal of Mr. Matthew, is said to have been failed by the appointment of Mr. A. C. Kart wright, vice-consul in New Granada. The appointment of Mr. Lousuela as British Consul at New Mexico, is con tradicted. " - Ioic. LOCOMOTIVE EXPLOSION. Three men, on Wednesday last, were instantly killed by the explosion of a locomotive near Montezuma, N. Y. The lecomotive blew up, and the report was heard three miles. The Auburn Amer ican says : The consequences were appalling. On the engine at the time of this explo sion were Mr. Ostrander, contractor in charge of the work, who was blown seventy to eighty feet over the track, down a bank and into a swamp. He was dreadfully mutilated, and lived but a few minutes. The engineer was thrown about nine rods by tho shock, and was killed instantly, lie was fear fully mangled. Ambrose Christian, the fireman, was hurled through the air full nine rods and killed instantly. Ilis body was awfully mutilated. The contents of his brain were entirely blown out, and one could look down" from the top of his head to his under jaw. He leaves a wite and two children. ANOTHER MURDEROUS AFFRAT. One of the : roost desperate affrays that has disgraced the eastern section of the city for some time past occurred about twa o'clock on Saturday after noon. It appears that a few days be fore a difficulty occurred between a man named Dudley and another named Thomas Pierce, in which the latter was shot in the leg by the former. " On Sat urday ofternoon Dudley, in company with aV man named James Connolly, went into Eastern avenue, where some threats were made against , the parties with whom Pierce associated. At the corner of Eden street and Eastern av enue they were approached by a man named John Cooper, who asked them to go away and not create any difficul ty. A man named Wm. Lynch stood near at the time, and Connolly drew a revolver and fired at him. A crowd of some fifteen tr twenty then started in pursuit of them, when they ran through Eden and Bank streets towards Exter street. While running, Connolly turn ed and fired a second shot, which, like the first, did no harm. His pursuers being close behind, overtook him at the corner of Exeter and Tiinity , streets, where they fell upon him, and before the public could get up with them they beat him most unmercilnlly. One side of the mouth was so much cut that the lip fell from its place, a portion of one of his ears was cut or bit off, besides which there was a contusion on the top of his . head about three inches long, from which the blood flowed copiously, and his face was so much battered and covered with blood as to be wholly un recognizable. . The police succeeded in rescuing him, after a great deal of la bor. At this time officers Brown, Know ies, McDaniels and Hoover were on the ground and took Lynch and John Mur ray into custody. Officer McDaniels, whojhad Connolly in charge, started for the police station in advance, when a young man named John Coxen ran up and knocked the latter down, who was already exhausted from loss of blood. The wounded man was then handed over to another officer, and ar rested Coxen, he making all possible re sistance. They were taken totheeas tern district police station whence, at his own request, Connolly was commit ted to jail. Dudley, who was with him at the time the affray begun, succeeded in making his escape. Murray was re leased on bail to appear lor trial oeiore the Criminal Court, and Coxen and Lynch were committed to jail, and the officer started with Ihcm, but before they had proceeded ten feet from the door CtoxetT"5Tlppcd the handcun lrom his wrist and made his escape. Omcer Gorman, who was in the neighborhood at the time, went in search of him, and soon succeeded in re-arresting him, when he was again taken before Justice Mc Allister, and, with Lynch, was released on bail to answer the charge of rioting. The fracas caused considerable excite ment and drew together several hun dred people, and'but for the prompt in terference of the oflicers Connolly would have been" killed. " From the London Daily News. DEATH OF A FAMOUS PARIS CHARLATAN. The most celebrated and the ; most successful charlatan of Paris Mengin, the itinerant pencil-seller is just dead, and has left behind him a fortune of 400,000 francs No one can have pass ed many days in Paris within the last ten years without having observed on the Place de la Bourse the Place du Chatelet, the Place de la Madelaine, or some other open space, the conspicuous figure of a tall handsome tnan, with a brass helmet and plumes, and a beard the very model of that of Hudibras, " in shape and hue most ; liKe a tile," standing on ihe box of a large cart, and haranguing a crowds He wore a costly mantle of green velvet embroidered with gold, and on the fingers of his white hands Were many rings of great price. Behind him was a squire, who from time to time blew a trumpet to attract public attention, and whose garments were only less splendid than those of his master. The only end and aim of all this pomp and circumstance was the sale of lead pencils af w5 Sou'5 apiece. Mengin possessed in a high degreethe art of commanding the attention of his audience. The laughs he raised were rare, but his face) Was full of promise of something good coming, and thus he kept alive curiosity. " - Though his speeches took a long time in the delivery, he was essentially a man of few words. He made long pauses, which were filled up by panto mime, and making grotesque sketches on a slate, to show the quality of hi pencils. The substance of every one ot his discourses was, that he had ong itially set up in a quiet shop, but find ing that he could not get a living in it, he had resolved to become a quack, and that from the hour of his taking that resolution he had done well. Why," he would say, do I fig myself up in this ludicrous costume 11 will tell you candidly Because going about in this dress I sell a great many pencils, and if I stayed at home in a warehouse coat I should sell very few. I am a quack, I admit, but I am an honest one, for I sell a good article : and if you want a pencil I doubt whether you will get as good a one anywhere else for the mon ey.n The speech was always followed by numerous Hmnn1 whirh tin antv plied from cases packed in the body of the cart. Of late he was wonf to speak of the large fortune he had made, and he would not txnfirequently turn out the contents of several roleaiix of gold, and count them iu the public view. He was a remarkably healthy-looking man; and could not have been m0re than forty years old, but he was carried off -by a fit of apoplexy. " ' , STUPENDOUS STEAM ENTERPRISE". -: It is stated that a scheme . has", been initiated in Liverpool for the formation of a new line of steamers from that port to Australia, each vessel to be of ten thousand tons burden, guaranteed to make the passage in thirty days and at a cost of only $2,000,000 each. The profits of the scheme are plausibly' cal culated thus the annual receipts of gold from Australia amounts to $100, 000,000 ; the interest Upon that sum for one month (the time saved in convey ance) would be $4,200,000, . and the draft to the same amount, having anoth er thirty days to run, would make a' to tal per annum of $8,400,000 interest, which, added to , $4,200,000, "would yield the sura of $12,600,000. So that in one year $4,000,000 more than the cost of building this splendid fleet of new steamers, suitable for war purposes, would be realized merely by the saving of time. Mr. Clare the person who proposes to build these vessels, . states that by a new plan of construction he can not only ensure for tbetn a contin uous speed of twenty mites art hour but that they shall be" proof against wind, wave, and foundering at sea, that they shall neither leak nor sink, and at the same time be shot and fireproof. HUSBAND'8 LIABILITY FOR HIS WIFE'S DEBTS. A case came before the District Court in New York, on Friday, where a mer chant sued to recover for silks and other articles of dry goods, for three dresses, furnished defendant s wife by plaintiff, durirg the months of March and April last, of the value of $92.65. It appear ed in evidence that during the monhs of March ' and April the plaintiff sold j the articles in qu stion to defendant's wife, and charged them to her not know- i ing the defendant. It also appeared in evidence that they were not necessary for a woman in her and defendant's cir cumstances in life. On this testimony the defendant's counsel moved for a non suit. The iudse gran ed the motion with costs, and $10 extra costs, holding that the husband was not liable, as the credit was given to his wife. Extrava gant wives will please make note. Abrave veteran officer reconnoitenng battery which it was necessary to storm, laconically answered the engi neers, who were endeavoring to di -suade him from the attempt Gentle men, you may say and think what you please : au i Know is, that tne American flag must be hoisted on the ramparts to morrow morning, for I have the order in my pocket."
