, Mexican House of Representatives

CRY OF MEx1co, June 2.-The House
of Representatives, before adjourning,
yesterday, declared, by large majority,
the urgency of establishing national
bank, but failed to authorize any ac-
ENCOURAGEMENT of the English debt. The
railroad subvention continues to be
punctually paid by the government.
The report ofthe seizure of the Ameri
can vessel Accia by the Mexican authori-
ties at Progresso, have been incorrect.
The captain of that vessel had abandoned
her with full cargo, thinking her lost
and SO reported to the Captain of the Port
of Progresso, who, with the help of Next
can sailors, succeeded in saving her. The
Captain of the Accia subsequently re-
fused to pay salvage and the case was
brought before the competent tribunal.

Yho Present situation ut Albany,


Special Dispatch to THE CRITIC.
ALBANY, June 2.-The senatorial con-
test bristles with uncertainties. The half
breeds are encounterng great difficulties
in their efforts to concentrate upon candi :
dates. 1t is reported that Senator Robert
son favors Wheeler and Depew. Yester-
day the former received 90 votes for the
short term, and the latter 25 for the long
term, but as an election is scarcely pos
sible without some sort of compromise
with the stalwarts, In which event either
Wheeler or Depew would probably be
thrown overheard, species of jeal-
ousy has grown up between their
friends which increases the difficulty
of effective concentration. Governor
Cornell, who ranks next In Importance
among the new republican candidates, is
at once coveted and distrusted by both
the leading factions. Some of the Conk-
lingites still assert that he Is not doing his
best In behalf of their chief, while admin
istration legislators, who might be sup
posed to form combination which would
break the deadlock by electing Cornell
and Depew, fear that In such an event
Cornell would resign the senatorship
and appoint Conkling, thus re-instat-
ing him in his old position. On
the main question. whether the deadlock
will soon be broken, very conflicting views
are expressed. One set of prophets insist
that the whole affair will be settled very
speedily. Other soothsayers are quite
confident that there will be no election at
the present session.
