number of military gentlemen yesterday.

WarIiIIe.
The Tribune's Florence, Italy, cores
pondent of April Both, opens his letter thus:
Within fortnight we shall be involved In
war. The abandoned fortress of Cremona
is being fortified in haste, the fleet concen-
trated, all the soldiers on furlough recalled,
even the reserve of the classes of 1S34-'35
and '36. All the official papers fire the
Italian heart. The Generals Cialidina, La
MarmOra and PettinagO are assembled in
military council. Everybody prepares for
war, and still they try to shift the reponsi-
bility upon the Austrian armamentS. In
fact Napoleon is the great wire puller who
first pushed Bismarck, and now pushes La
Marmora, so that Austria cannot avoid war.
The ShiP-HuiIders' Strike.
The strike of the ship carpenters, join
ers and caulkerS continues, and the en-
ployers say if it continues they will remove
their business to other ports. The average
amount received weekly as aid to the
caulkers, is from $l,500 to $4,000. The
Workingmens' Union, it is said, are about
to contract loan of $4,000 to the strikers.
Financial.
The Commercials money article says:
The stock market appears to be lapsing
again into kind of dullness and depres-
sion. The condition of affairs in England
and on the Continent weighs heavily upon
the market here, not in the way of produce
ing any definite apprehensiOns of panic,
but from feeling that panicky condition
in that country, and with which nearly
our whole foreign commerce is contracted,
cannot fail to produce uneasness and dis
turbance to large interests on this side. At
the regular Board this morning there was
some speculative movement on some of the
miscellaneous stocks, especially in Cum
berland coal, which advanced Ia under
clique speculations, and on Canton, which
closed &c higher. The Railroad list was
upon the whole duh, the prevailing dispose
tion being to realize. Some considerable
lots were sold on Western account and
some large sales were made in Michigan
Southern to close up speculative opera
tions. New York Central was active under
clique operations, and rose ID. Govern
ments are quiet The gold interest bonds
are depressed under apprehensions of the
further return of 5-20s from Europe
5-20's OF go sold at 10l$8@l0l55; the issues
of '64 and '65, at l02 .... -............,.-.,
Money is in rather more demand, and we
hear of some calling in of per cent. loans.
The supply at per cent, however, is
abundant. Prime paper is in demand at
5@6H per cent.
Gold rather weak and less in demand.
There are no indications that the Treasury
has sold largely to-day.
