corning tie Atlantic and Great Western
and Enc imbrogho It is understood that
the relations between the two interests are
more pacific, and, as a consequence, the
NcHenry party will move, IN the court
at Akron tomorrow, to postpone further
hearing of the case for three weeks; and it
is likely the motion viii be granted This
is to give Gould time to parry the blows Of
Commodore Vanderbilt, while investigat-

Great Western to wholly ALLEVIATE the Gould
& Fisk party, but to SO get control as to
compel Just terms, and as the advantage is
now with him, McHenry can afford to be
generous Vanderbilt is indirectly aiding
him Il is reported that the Erie Office In
New York was guarded last night against
intruders and to prevent the Sheriff from

the officer of outraged Justice, the imper-
turbable Fisk put his head out of the door
aud coolly asked the Sheriff if he Lidn't
wish he could serve the writ
