sold to large extent, 81 prices current at the board
yesterday. Erie bonds have come out pretty freely
lately and the probability is that the incomes will be
more active as the time fixed for opening bids to
the new loan approaches. The market continues
to be pretty literally supplied With Illinois Central
Bonds, and good many speculative purchases are
made. Tho rapid rise in Hudson River Railroad
stock has met with pretty severe check. Tho ad-
vance, upon the strength Of temporary postpone
ment Of the floating debt, was too great, and was
therefore short lived. The improvement enabled

WARNINGS TO "AMERIoAN AUDACIrY. THE
following warnings uttered by the British
prints, Immediately after the presumed fall of
Sebastopol, are worthy of becoming kept in
mind by the American people. They are only
specimens of the very general tone adopted
about that time:
From the North British Review.1
Our foes have had forewarning with what
sort of people they will have to deal; and
our transatlantic cousins will become trife
less insoleat and overbearing, when they fnd
that the feet which summers in the Baltic.
can without cost or effort winter in the Gulf of
Mexico.
From Blackwood's Magazine]
England and France together are strong
enough to bind nearly all the world over to
keep tho peace. Whom Russia is settled,
France may abate her army, and England her
navy, but We must not disarm. We must still
be able to say e No." to our lively young
brother across the Atlantic if he wants Cnba,

More Annexation.

BY THE UNITED STATES FOR $4,000, OOO.-We
learn from good authority, that treaty has
been made between the United States Ecuador,
by which the latter cedes her sovereignty over
the Galapagos group to the United States for
the sum of $3,0OO,OOO. In making this i'm
portant announcement, which We have every
reason to believe correct, We are unable to give
further particulars; but no doubt the matter
will be Immediately brought before Congress
become United States Territory before the
Sandwich Island. It is said that rich deposits
of guano of good quality have been discovered
on tho Islands, which, if true, will prove of
great value to the agricultural interests of the
States, and justify the expenditure of such a
large sum of public money.
