The Prince dc Joinrille has returned from
Washington, and was in the city yesterday.
He visited the Office of Mr.. Edward Cunard,
agent Of the Gunard line Of steamers, from

each for their votes. They put this money in
their pockets and went home, and applied it &c

leaders for the lobby, in both houses, agreed tc

one to two hundred shares Of stock; and q
prominent Senator was promised two hundred
to three hundred shares.
Garibaldi's descent upon Sicily has produced
great excitement among the foreign population
OF New York, and especially among the ltal
ians. They propose to hold a meeting soon tt

The rumor is, that she took on board a largt

Greeley is also catching heavy ticks from

WIN. II. Seward, and his right hand rnaT
Thurlow, have arrived in the city, and ar
stopping AT their rooms at the Astor. A pr
vate council Of war is being held, attended b.
Henry J. Raymond aud James Watson Webb
and with some few other prominent Republ1
cans in the city, in the confidence Of Sewar'
