the peculiar and perilous condition of affairs ex-
listing throughout the Austrian dominions and

every one who has resided for any length of time

bankruptcy for sometime. and that she has been
in the habit, and is doing the same thing now of
resOrting to every expedient known TO nations 10

later, oyertake her Great distrust is exhibited on
the part Of her subjectsand 1t is alleged by some
OF her Ministers-as to the propriety of rushing
headlong into general war, when Il might nave
been averted, provided she had manifested a
proper and forbearing spirit. Great depression,
he says, exist in all branches of business The re-
ported secret treaty Of alliance between France
and Russia, when 1t was announced at Vienna

The BALTIMORE CoURT-IIOUsE.-TheP rcsi-
dent of the United States has, after due con-
sideration, determined to purchase the prop
erty of the First Presbyterian Church, Balti-
more, Md, for the site of the new United
States Court building. The President had
from the first, restricted the choice to either
the church property or that located on the
northwest corner of Calvert and Lexington
streets. Ii is thought that in a short time the
U. S. Offices, now situated in the Masonic Hall
will be removed to the parsonage, as in the
opinion Of the Secretary of the Interior they
will be far better accommodated there than al
their present quarters

BATTLE BETWEEN THE U. g TRoops AND THE
CAMANCHE INDIANs-A letter from Fort BeIknap
of the I'D instant, says, that Major Van Horn had
desperate fight with the Northern Camanches on
the Fork of the Arkansas river, May 18th. Forty
Indians were killed and thirty-six taken prisoners
of the United states troops, two soldiers were
killed and several wounded. Among the latter
were Lieut.. Lee and Capt Smith. A letter also
says, that between four and five hundred Texans
were encamPed about twenty miles below the
Brazos, on the Indian Reserve, with the avowed
Intention of attacking the Reserve Indians Much
excitement prevailed in that reg ion.

The WATER BILL.-Contrary to general cx-
pectation throughout the city, the Mayor did
not return to the Councils yesterday afternoon
the last passed water bill, bearing his signature
1t turns out that the bill only reached him
officially on Saturday last, and that the charter
authorizes him to hold it over until Thursday
next, on which day it will be necessary for
him to return it, signed, or vetoed. To enable
him to avail himself of his clear privilege in
the premises, both Boards adjourned over last
evening only until Thursday next, instead OF
adjourring sine die, according to their hereto
fore invariablo custom on the last Monday OF
their official existence. We presume that there
can be no doubt that the Mayor will on Thurs
day return the bill to the Boards, bearing his
signature. We draw this conclusion from the
fact that he has avOwed his intention to be to
sign it, and also from the fact that public
opinion here is more unanimously in favor of
its due enactment, than ever before in favor
of that of an important measure that has been
considered in the Washington Councils.

WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP.

TRIAL OF MOwERs-To-day, in the pro-
cess of cutting the grass in the public grounds
south of the Presidents House, three improved
mowers were used. under the immediate su-
peryision of Mr. BarthOlow and Mr.. Simpson,
the agricultural implement dealers having the
agency for their sale here. Mr.. b. ran two
horse Buckeye machine and one-horse
Woods patent; while Mr. S. ran two-horse
machine Of Woods patent. The newspaper
announcement made yesterday that the occa.
sion would be embraced to test their relative
capabilities drew crowd of some hundreds OF
persons to the grounds, not few of them being
Immediately interested in agricultural i'm.
prOvements. The ground moved was measured
off for each machine. The Buckeye cuts q
swath Of the width Of four feet two inches
while the Wood two-horse machine cuts one Of
four feet width. The result of the contest be-
tween them was evidently in favor of thu
former, which though it had the heavier ant
more tangled grass to cut, did its work quick
est, cleanest, and with least noise.
The draft of the Buckeye machine, which il
heaviest and geared with the longest crank, i
evidently considerably greater than that of tn,
that it is most durable, from the greater wei h
of its parts and the apparent greater ease ant
quiet of its operation. It's knives are so hinge,
rs that the bar on to which they are connected
rises and falls with the inclination Of the hill
sides more readily than with the Wood me-
chine, which adapts itself to such Irregular
ties of the grounds surface by means of
spring. The fact that the knife bar of tn
Buckeye machine is geared with hinge, is
great advantage indeed in moving it from fell
to field rs it is instantly folded over on t
the machine when being thus moved, withou
touching nut or screw.
We were much pleased with the operation o
the single-horse machine of Woods patent
which cut a thrce-fcet swath, doing its worl
with great ease, regularity and perfection
We, however, judge, that if a single horse b
used with it, half days work will be as mucl
as should be put upon any ordinary farm hors
drawing it.
