DIPLOMATIC DIFFIcUTY-Informat was
received by the last steamer from Europe, Of a
Misunderstanding between Col Jackson, our
Minister Resident at Vienna, and the Austri-
an Government. A correspondent says:
1.-The Misunderstanding has been caused by
the arrest and imprisonment of an America an
citizen named Spear, who after seven months
close confinement, during which he was not
permitted to communicate In any way with
even his minister or consul, was tried ON the
Slst Of March, 1854, by a secret and unknown
tribunal, convicted Of treason, and sentenced
70 ten years labor in irons in the trenches at
Therisienstadt in Bohemia. Mr. Jackson, on
the 4th of February demanded a properly
certified copy of the testimony said to have
been used in the conviction of Spears, and in
formed Count Buol, in his note that unless he
received an Affirmative reply within four
weeks, be should at the expiration of that
time, withdraw from a court where he could
no longer remain with honor to his country or
advantage 10 its citizens. As there is no pro-
liability that the desired answer will be forth.

citizen, more especially in the South. lie
shows with a master hand, that the present
great power of abolitionism in the councils Of
the nation, ia almost altogether the work of
Know Nothingism; and argues with great
force that the only hope of stemming the cur
rent of anti-slavery, lies in standing shoulder
to shoulder with the Democratic party. We
regret that our space will not allow us to re-
publish this letter at length To extract from

of the reader, so completely is its every para

New Hampshire Intelligencer this
morning says that the Democratic party was
defeated in New Hampshire last year "5y
majority ranging bstueen one and too thou,-

the official returns. The whole number of

The majority against the Democrats was then
nearly six thousand.
The result to-day we cannot foretell. The
Democrats will make large, very large gains
upon their vote last year, sufficient we think
to make it apparent that New Hampshire will
| in November vote for the Democrats But it
is by no means certain that this time they can
by the popular vote elect their candidate for
Governor. Six thousand ia mi jority not easy
to overcome in contested election in State
like New Hampshire, which casts but about
gu, 600 votes, and which is made up for the most
part Of rural and farming population, and
this of a class Of voters not likely to change
with readiness their political predictions.
We count, however, upon gains for the Demo
Gratis SO large and imposing, as to amount to
q moral triumph in the Granite State of the
administration of President Pierce
We have made arrangements which will enc

RATES OF FOREIGN BANK MOTIFS.

The money and stock market during the
last week continued without m aterial change
In money there was a slight tendency to
greater frmness on the part of lenders. The
rates on call loans ruled from 6 to per cent,
and from to 8 per cent. on commercial paper
of the best description
The total shipments for the week for Europe
were 81 ,2O4 746, and from January to March
8, $2,5l3,S94, against $3.50, 1862 during the
same period in 1855, showing decrease Of
81 ,225, 1858 for the year thus far, but heavy
increase for the week.

Of the spring trade is likely to add to the

LAND WARRANTS
The demand for warrants has been very ac-
tive for the past ten days, and the price has
risen one to two cents per acre since our re.
port of the 9Th inst -.-....-.
Persons intending to make large invest
ments in Western lands, delayed purchasing
in the expectation that warrants would fall
below one dollar per acre. Being disappoint-
ed in this, they are now pressing on the mar
ket for their supplies. This demand, added
to the large amount of orders soon to be re-
ceived from the West, for the spring trade,
must, we predict, cause further advance OF
from one half to one cent per acre, per day,
until the rates of last fall are reached.

closely investigated the subject, that there
are not over from six to seven millions Of acres

tract we commend to the consideration Of

This is pretty strong language to be used
