arrived at this port yesterday, with two
days later news.
inc Pdtrfc announces marked in
crease of friendly relations between
Austria and Italy, and adds /" the two
Governments see the necessity of inaug-
urating new policy in view of the
changes which have occurred in Europe.
An alliance between the Cabinets of
Florence AMI Vienna is in accordance
with the mutual interests of both coun-
tries"
1t is well known, says the Union that
the Pope's ordination is to be celebrated

Rome, missal stand, surmounted with
a statuette of the immaculate conception

WASHINGTON, odd.
Rep orts promise news of plenty of
nominations af soon as the Tenure-of-
Office Act is disposed Of They are
almost positive of the appointment of
John Lathrop Motley to England; they
mention John Jay for Mr.. Motley's old
place at Vienna, suggest Mr.. Francis, of
Troy, for Belgium, and give us our
choice of Griswold, Grinnell or Merritt
for collector of the port of New York.
NEW YORK, odd.
The managers of the Bristol and the
Newport closed their conference of two
days on Saturday. The result was that.
as we have before repeatedly stated in
our dispatches, the Newport steamers
have been sold to Mr.. James Fisk, ir.,
for the Naragansett Steamship Co.
The transfer will be made this week.
Mr. Fisk has settled matters satisfac-
torily with the Providence r.. r. Co.,
thus obviating the only real difficulty
which has hitherto stood in the way.
Another important movement may
be set down as the result of the meeting
on Friday and Saturday. The Stoning-
ton u New London line is to unite with
the Fall River,upon uniform arrange
ment for passenger and freight rates,
such arrangemen to hold in force for a
term of years.
MIR. Fisk says, the steamers must
leave this week, ard if the dock is not
ready at Fall River they will go to New
port until it is ready. He means work
and the travelling public will be highly
+ leased with the new programme.
y Washington despatch says that
Grant is said to be very much incensed
at the conduct of some of the Senators,
and to be determined not to make any
further appointments should the civil
tenure restraint be still kept over him.
The delay in the nomination of Min
lister to England, vice Reverdy Johnson,
is attributed, by some of Grants friends,
to the fact that he has been carefully
what policy it will be best
to pursue in regard to the Alabama
claims. Some people here, who profess
to be familiar with his views, say that
he has resolved to adopt very decisive
course with England, and that the
amount of his diplomacy will be simply
the sending of a bill to the British Gov
eminent asking payment for the depre-
dations of the pirate ships on American
and Cushing is among
those now mentioned as likely to be
honored with the appointment to Eng
land.
