feur's second article had an unfavorable effect.
Lord Cowley had returned to Paris and had
an interview with the Emperor. Nothing def
mite had transpred in regard to his mission to
Vienna.
The Austrian journals were very bellicose,
and there was no abatement in the warlike prep
arations by that Power.
The affairs of Sardinia were unchanged. 1t

ter guarantees offensive and defensive aid

tial buyers, causing sudden advance of three
eighthL
Rumors were circulated that France and
Austria had consented to suspend or diminish
their ornaments.
No doubt was entertained that some intelli-
gence had been received of an important char
acter. After business hours, the improvement
became more decided, with further advance
of one-eighth.
Among the rumors was one to the effect that
Lord Cowley's mission had attained some i'm
portant result in the interest of peace.
Rumors prevailed Of disorganization of the
English Cabinet. Lord Manners was stung by
the response of the House to his appeal on the
church rates question, and rendered his resig-
nation, but that he was induced by Lord Derby
to withdraw.
meeting of forty conservative members had
sent a deputation to Lord Derby, requesting

grapple with reform, he virtually surrendered
his position.
The London Times says the leading subma-
rine cable makers are willing to contract for a
successful submergence of the Atlantic cable,
taking all risk themselves.
The Neapolitan exiles continued to attract
sympathy, and liberal subscriptions were being
made to the relief fund. One of them, who
went to Bristol in advance, met with an ovation
there. His carriage was drawn through the
streets by the people, amidst great cheering.
Frdace.-The ominous silence respecting
Lord Cowley's mission tended to increase the
apprehensions of war. A rumor was current
that the Lyons railway had received orders to
keep in readiness for the transportation of
$4,000 men.
HWy.-SOUe AlneflCdn, whose name was
unknown, and who had received disastrous

capital in the Caucasus. A stubborn defence
was expected.

week, $4,000 bales, including 1900 bales to

Four DAYS LATER FRoM .EpRoPE.-Nep
York, april 5-The steamship New York,
from Southampton on the 23d, arrived here this
forenoon.
Continental advices are decidedly more pa
ciic. Telegraphic dispatches from Paris say
that the five Powers have agreed to European
Congress on Italian affairs, but the place, basis,
and extent of the discussion have not yet been
settled. The Hague, London and Berlin, are
mentioned as the most likely places.
Paris correspondence says that the Emperor
having been informed of the ultimate resolu-
tons of Austria, desires to recede BY diplomatic
help from, his aggressive attitude, Another
letter says that Austria and France appear more
| inclined towards a pacific solution. 1t is GER
tain now that Austria's force in Lombardy is
much more imposing than was supposed. A
Vienna correspondent says that danger of col
lision is falling off for the present. The Aus
trian papers, however, give warning against too
much confidence in the peaceful reports, and
say it is very doubtful # a Cqngress is con,
voked.

tol. crowd Of at least $4,000 persons met
them on the quays.
The Times city article says that the an.

provement in the funds, which would have been
more but for the fact that the Paris Bourse had
not vet shown any decided recovery of conf
