the Canadian mail., but an specie. The
steamer Prince Albert arrived at New York

and Fulton New York on the 26th ult. In the
Senate the bill for the acquisition of Cuba was the
dominant topic. A test vote was taken by a pro-
position to lay the bill on the table, and it was
defeated by a majority of 12, thereby indi-
cating the passing of the bill by the Senate. In the
House of Representatives the tariff question re-
mained unsettled. The Punt-office Appropriation
Bill had been rejected. .

A rumour was current that all the available
naval foroe had been ordered to the Gulf of Mexico
in view of the threatening attitude taken by the
English and French fleet. towards Mexico.
The cashier of the Atl►ntic Bank, Brooklyn,

The 80111110 hu been extremely agitated, and
oscillations of extraordinary violence took place
with unusual rapidity. It opened badly under the
impression produced by an official article in the
Vienna Gazette of to-day, a summary of which was
known by telegraph. This article, which is re•
garded as an answer to the Monitettr, insists upon
the maintenance of the special treaties made between
Austria and the Italian States. These &edifice, it
avers, are based upon reciprocal sovereign rights;
they have relation to the reversionary rights of the
home of Austria to the sovereignty of some of these
States, and contribute to the preservation of the
lexisting possessions of Austria in Italy. The addi-
tional article of the treaty with Naples has long
ceased to be applicable, and there would be no in-
convenience in abrogating that stipulation. But, as
to the other treaties, Austria in defending them,
defends not only her own rights, but the basis of
the independence and liberty of European States in
general.
It was inferred from the telegram that Lord Cow-
ley's mission had substantially failed, and a great
many sales were made under that impression. It
must be admitted that if Austria intends to hold by
the declaring of her official journal, there is an end
of the expectations that she would consent to aban-
don her position in Central Italy. The renunciation
of an obsolete clause in an old treaty with Naples
appears to be the only concession which she is ready
to make. However, later in the day, the rumour
was set about, and found many believers, that—
notwithstanding the article of the Vienna
Gazette Lord Cowley bad obtained im-
portant concessions which would probably be
satisfactory. The Rents' for account fluctuated
in the course of the day between 69fr. 20c. and
ante. 50c. It closed at &Mr. 90c., with a rise of ea.,
the favourable aspect of the news being less credited
as the bell rung than it had been a few minutes be-
fore. Various reports were afloat as to the Vienna
Metallic', some stating that they had fallen 5 per
cent. today, and others that the fall was only per
cent. Its deplorable that the telegram from the
Vienna Bootee, which so materially affects the market,
should be kept back for the use of a few privileged
speculators instead of being regularly posted far
general information as soon as received. There was
no ultimate change in the Bente for cash. Mobilier
fell bre. There was very little alteration in the final
quotations of the railways.

with srezimeas of their various rifler, which were shown and
explained to him. He sakednumerms questions, although

interrogating. Captain Knox, the Rifle Instructor of
the Rills% was ittroduced to him by Sir John
Pannefateer. He asked the captain in which of the attacks on
the &clan he lost his arm, then examined the Viand* Ciao
on his breast, and inquired why it was bestowed en bin.

too trivial for him to inquire the use of.
The Grand Doke not only is a first ra'o sailor himself, but
appears to have instilled into his followers a thirst for nautical
attainments. They are very anxious to buy broke treating
on naval subjects, and marine at-am enema, always asking
for the books that the young English miclabipmen learn
from.
