WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE general impression
is that both Houses will fix Monday July 16th, as
the day for terminating the present session. There
is no doubt that all the regular legislative business
can be finished by that time, and the members will
hardly be willing to remain longer to watch the
President or make buneombe speeches.
Though the House committee will not report in
favor of suspension of the neutrality laws, or,
perhaps, ever consider the subject it is neyerthe
less understood that it will offer resolutions in
which the administration will be criticized, if not
| censured, for the interference which resulted in
the breaking up of the Fenian movements.
President Roberts is here, and the Republicans
are assduous in their attentions to him.
New YORK, June 1.-THE imports the past
week exceeded $7,000,OOO, of which there was
100000 of sugar, tea and coffee.
The excitement in the gold room has been in
tense for several days. Four or five of the
heaviest stock spectators have lost fortunes in
that time by throwing their money and influence
| against the rise. London letter to a banking
firm there says the specie arrivals are an immense
thing for American credits. The amount sent
from America is everywhere admitted to have
saved general bankruptcy in England. The letters
to other banking houses in this city are very much
to the same effect.
HARRIsBuRs, Pa, June 1.-THE Petroleum
Bank at Titusvlle and Yenango Bank at Franklin
have instituted action against ex-Audtor Genera
Isaac Hinker, and through him against the State o.
Pennsylvania, for the recovery of $l,25O,OO0 o.
United States securities deposited with the auditor
general as security for the circulating medium OF
those banks The facts as stated are these:
| The firm of Culver, Penn & Co., were in the
habit of taking notes Of the Yenango and Petrole-
UNI banks for cancellation at the auditor general s
office, where they received like amount of bonds
for that which they presented in notes. It is al
legged that the parties thus receiving these bonds
were neither agents nor officers of the banks.
These bonds instead of being sent to the officers of
said banks were taken to New York and hypothe-
Gated by Culver, Penn & Co. 1t is alleged that it
was done without the authority of the banks, and
that it was embezzement for which the auditor
general is responsible. Warrants have issued and
officers are now in Venango county to arrest the
parties implicated in the transaction. The condi.
ton of these banks is now in the course of official
investigation.
| New YORK, June 1.-THE steamers Hanga from
southampton the 9th, and the Palmyra from Liver.
pool the 5th, have arrived. News generally anti

negotiations for peace. Napoleon said that Austria
would take upon herself grave responsibility.

tiOns, and it remains for the belIigerents to
negotiate among themselves or inaugurate war.
1t is believed h0stilities will commence in the Elbe
DuChies, and that Austrias great move will be to
siege Silesia. Prussia will probably commence
the war, and has sent circulars to the neuta pow
ers charging Austria with dagrant breach of the
| treaties.
The Prussian army comprises 452 batalions Of
| infantry, 32O squadr0ns of cavalry and l0S6 field
artillery. The Italian volunteers number 95 900.
The Austrian army now amounts to 90O,OO men.
1t is supposed $4,000 will operate against
Prussia, and 100000 against Italy, exclusive of the
| reserve,
1t is reported if Prussia seizes Holstein the
Austrans will cross the frontier.
Spain's forces are augmented to S5 900.
