THREATS OF OUTBREAK AT ERIE.-It looks
very much as if another railroad war was
brewing at Erie, Pa There was meeting
there on Wednesday of last week, of which
one of the participants says;
"After the troubled waters ceased to roll,
vote was taken, when it was resolved that
at the expiration of the time allowed by the
Supreme Court to the Railroad Company for
the removal Of their track, and they did not
comply with said DEGREES in the meantime,
the city and citizens of Erie would rip up the
track and tear down the bridges"
r8- The Secretary of the Treasury has
made the most praiseworthy efforts, since the
tightness Of the money market, to afford all
the relief in his power. lie has recently
furnished the Assay office in New York with
drafts on the Sub. Treasury, sullicien. to meet
all possible demands for specie in exchange
for bullion. 1t is in this mode that the Sub
Treasury should be administered, working
together with the conversion of bullion into
coin, TO supply specie to the extent of the
demand for expectation, aud thus relieving
the banks of drain.
THE AUSTRIAN ALLIAHcE.-The Washing
ton Union of Wednesday contains the fol.
lowing editorial paragraph:
There is nothing in the extracts we give
from the London and Paris papers to justify
the broad assertion that an offensive and de-
fensve alliance had been entered into be-
tween Austria and the Western Powers; and
the sudden and large advance in the English
funds warrants the suspicion that the stock
obbers have again been making capital out
of false or highly.colored news. Indeed, we
have despatch from New York which states
that private advices from London deny that
England has guaranteed to Austria the in
tegrty of Hungary and Lombardy. Without
such guarantee, ii seems to us that Austria
would not only be taking a bold, but n rash
step, in drawing her sword against her old
ally and preservcr.
More ANHExATloN.-Th6 Panama Star
