AUSTRIA.

- -
A letter dated Vienna, March 30, says :—" Yes.
terday evening it was related that Sardinia had
consented to disarm, but no official confirmation of
the report has been received. Austria, who a few
days ago was extremely warlike and intractable, is
now pacific and conciliatory, and the sudden change
which has come over her is perhaps to be attributed
to the attitude recently assumed by Russia. A sus-
pension of the armaments is even spoken of, and it
is probable that this Government would disarm if
France and Sardinia would also do so. Austria would
hardly object to a change in those parts of the spe-
cial conventions which give her a right to send
troops into the Italian duchies for -flu) maintenance
of peace and order, if any other means of keeping
the revolutionary party within clue bounds could be
found. The Austrian and German papers are still
arguing whether Sardinia ought or ought not to be
admitted to the. Congress, but there is reason to be-
lieve that the Powers have already agreed to invite
all the Italian Powers to send representatives, but
merely as consultative members of the august as-
sembly.

AMERICA.

LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY NIGHT.

The Cunard Royal Mail steamship Arabia has
arrived, with advices from New York to the 22d,

sengers.

On the morning of the 23d there was no sign of
the Nova Scotian at Portland.

The President has given way to the exigencies
of the Democratic party, and determined to call no
extra session of Congress.
Six hundred thousand dollars have been ab.
stracted from the Treasury of Ohio.
The Liberals in Mexico seem to be progressing
favourably.
At Porteau-Prince the populace had turned
against Geffrard, and his downfal is imminent.
it was expected at Washington that the grand
jury who made a presentment against Mr. Sickles
for murder would return a true bill, but so far
nothing has been done on the subject.
California overland advices state that there has
been copious rains in the interior.
Business was quiet at New York.

active.

'THE GALE OFTRIDAY.-FOUND BEING

OF THREE VESSELS.

By the telegraphic returns received at Lloyd's
on Sattitday, it appears that a strong gale from the
south-west swept various points of the coast on
Friday until late in the evening, and caused a
serious amount of mischief. Several losses are re.
ported, and it is, feared that the full extent of
damage is not yet ascertained. In the course of
the night three vessels struck upon Penarth Sands,
near Cardiff, and two of them went down. They
were the Harriet, bound to Southampton from
Newport, with coals;; the Tyro, of Plymouth; and
the Alma, of Shoreham. The latter was got off
after some difficulty, but the two former sunk.
Providentially, the crews are reported to have been
saved.

A Norwegian schooner, called the Soskummeren,
from Krageroe to Liverpool, timber laden, was
fallen in with, -waterlogged and abandoned, in th
Channel, some 12 miles from the South Foreland
by thedron Era, collier. screw steamer. Nothing
has been seen or heard of the crew, and their fat e
is uncertain. The steamer took the derelict in tow,
and got her into Dover Bay.
The brig Betsy, belonging to Whitby, is reported
to have foundered on Pridal night, after sustain.
ing damage in going over ices Bar. The crew
were saved.
The accounts from the north-western coast state
that the wind blew a complete storm from the
south-west, with sleet and rain, the weather being
very cold.

day post, a
letter containing five £lOO notes of the Bank of
England and one £2O note. Four of the large notes corre-

with the numbers given by the Bradford cattle-dealer,
and the £2O one also corresponds with one of his numbers.
The fifth note does not correspond ; it is a good £lOO note,
but either the cattle-dealer advertised a wrong number or
the sender of the notes has made a mistake.—Newcastle

THTS DAY'S MARKETS,

CORN EXCHANGE.

The supplies of wheat on sale in the leading country
markets held on Saturday were rather limited, yet all kinds
met a dull inquiry, at barely stationary prices. Fine barley
was steady. In other qualities very little was passing. All
other produce moved off heavily, at about previous cur-
rencies.

The various continental markets were steady for wheat
and fine barley, on former terms. Otherwise the trade has
been tolerably steady. Our New York advices bring less
activity in the demand for both wheat and flour.

The arrivals of home-grown produce up to our marker
last week were only moderate. From abroad the imposs
were rather extensive—viz., 9,850 qrs of wheat, 19073
barley, 28,668 oats, 2,150 rye, 90 beans, 3 peas, 306 twee,
5,491 linseed, 6,230 rapeseed, 125 sundry seeds, 1,828 sacks
and 20 barrels of flour.
Fresh up to-day from Kent the arrivals of wheat, coast-
wise and by land carriage, were limited but the general
quality of the supply was good. From Essex, the receipts
were very moderate. Although the show of samples was
small, there was no life in the demand ; nevertheless, a fair
quantity of wheat was disposed of at prices about equal to
Monday last. At the close of business a few samples sold
at is per quarter less money.
We continue to be liberally supplied with most kinds of
foreign wheat. A few sales took placo in fine red and white
qualities at full quotations, but low and middling parcels
were very dull, and almost nominal.
There was very little inquiry fot floating cargoes off
Falmouth.

Owing to the change in the weather, and the large influx
from abroad, barley ruled heavy, and in some instanices
prices had a drooping tendency, viz., is to 2s per qr.
There was a heavy inquiry for malt on rather loader
terms.

Good sound oats were in fair request at full quotations,
but other qualities were a heavy inquiry at barely late rates.
We had a steady demand for beans at fully last week's
currency.
Peas changed hands slowly on former terms.
The flour trade was rather flat at previous quotations.
