'STEWS VIA SEW YORK. . , New York, May 25. A Venice letter, dated May 3, states that Aua-. tria has been making extensire preparations for war both with Italy and Prussia since the inception : of ; the " German difficulty, and she: was at the latest " moment swell prepared for a bloody defense of her position on the frontiers , of both countries. : The . writer says that the Italians in and around "Venice were not particularly ; excited. m They look for a sharp V and decisive struggle, and curiously enough expect a ready adjustment of the Austro-ltahan question as a result. News from Honduras to the 4th 13 to the effect that bands of .. Indians ' from Yucatan had made a raid on the mahogany cutters, on the Rio Briaro, and plundered every one they could find. Considerable excitement was manifested at the Balize on the occaion of the raid, as it was feared other gangs would make a similar movement. t The Heralds Washington special says the trial of Jeff. Davis under the Norfolk indictment will doubtless be postponed until August next in con sequence or tne strong ieeiing prevailing in Richmond on the subject.' Much animosity prevailed towards the jury who returned the verdict, anduntu this subsides the Attorney -lien eral thinks it best to delay the trial. The counsel for the Government consists of Attoroey-General Speed, -John H. Clifford, Wm. II. Evarts and i : Iaj.-lj(n;.

ted," but will probably amount to sixty or seventy thousand dollars. I Wall Street was excited yesterday . . , . ;witb. a report of. an embezzlement in . the Irving Bank. ! The first story was that the amount in default was $200,-.-000, but subsequently- investigations ' "reduced it to about. $4o,000. A young ' mani son of a clergyman , a book keep- . ? . ' er int he bank, is the guilty party. ; lie was arrested' and ' admitted his guilt and has returned part of the money, r The standing of the ;bank4 w;ll not be " effected. . jThe 'Washington specials Tto he morning papers contain the following : A case involving the - constitutionality of the Civil Rights Bill has just been . decided adversely by Judge Thomas, of the Circuit Court of Virginia, sitting in Alexandria, in the civil action between white men. J One . y 9 qf , the,, parties offered t produce tiegro evtience,tbut the" Judge decided jthat inasmuch as the State laws of Virginia forbid the introduction of negro testimony in civin suits to which white
men alone were parties, the evidence 5T:, ? of ' the negro f m riHaditissible; and J 1 c-that W"CongrC3sio1aal legislation could impair her rights to decide what persons, or classes of persons, were comr.tenttp testify in- her . Courts. sThis decision' will lead -do -doabt to much discussion, and create no little excite
ment before its final settlement by superior .authority, ; Col. Dr.1 Bidlay 'Rivas, and thi other -members of Gen. Santa Anna's staffs "ConstitutmgJT the - Commission, and who are at present in Washing ton, hd . long interview to-day. with Senor Komero, the Mexican Minister, but nothing has been allowed to transt)ire concerning, it.r ; - 'The Commission were intending to call upon President Johnson, but were
T'scompeUed to deferithe visit until Mr." Seward returned to formally present I. .them.-' i "J u-iVr-i.; ' - ' Major Gilbreth, who was sent by GenIoward to investigate the Mem'phis riots, has made a partial report on the subject. He says the civil authorities have not taken the slightest A''-r-' notice of these terrible riots, and seem to regard; them as. simply skirmishes th Dolice and the negroes.
It was certainly a very one-sided skirmish, as from-th& testimony nresistancewas made by the negroes .after the. first night. The citizens have 'fn-linld a meeting and denounce the conduct of the mob, but still they either neglect or refuse to do so. The naners offllemDhis are at the
: . Toot of the whole matter.;',' They have i ..:. v incited i riot and Brordet for mouths,
and this is only the legitimate result of their inflammatory and incendiary articles- The poor whites and the negroes between whom : a feud has always existed have been but their tools. ; - ;. i . ;. New York, May 25. A fire broke out at a late hour last night in building 652, Broadway, occupied by ; Charles Scribner & Co., Book-sellers, J. C. Howe, Window-shade manufac-, turer, and J. B. Clark, Furniture ware rooms, each of whomN suffered damages in the aggregate amounting to $10,000. ; The Senate, to-day, rejected Samuel McKelly, nominated as U. S. Marshal for the District of Western Pennsylvania, and also Furnell, Blair's candidate for Postmaster of Baltimore, both rejections being on the ground that they were supporters of the President's policy.' r Tne statement that Senate had reconsidered the vote rejectingFrank Blair as Collector of the First District of Missouri, is incor
rect. r. No confirmation or .rejection can be reconsidered, unless the mo tion is made within two ' JExecutif e session after the confirmation. - - It is said by the friends of Governor Cuftin that he has been tendered the mission to Italy, f ; s-.: t Gen. ; BairdT ; Commissioner of; the Freedmen's Bureau in Louisiana, re ports that he1 is furnishing food to the inhabitants of the overflowed district. The joint Committee on Printing today opened a large number of bids for engravings and illustrations for the Patent Office report, from - Boston, Buffalo, New York and Philadelphia. No awards have yet been made.' A telegram from Senator Wright's son, received this "evening, says that the Senator is much better. Itjs understood . that Mrs.; Davis comes here ta urge that her husband be transferred from Fort Monroe to some prison or fort farther North, where there is less , danger from the peculiar diseases suggested by the Surgeon, who made the report , to the President of Davis's health as being prevalent at Fortress Monroe. ; The investigation in the case of Paymaster Paulding, has been concluded. Findings: They find Colonel Paulding guilty of the technical violation of the Paymaster General's Circular, forbidding the transfer of Government funds from one bank to another, but aequit him of any corrupt motive of personal interest -in making the transfer. He will probably be tried by court-martial for this violation of rules, and Paulding's friends assert 'that he much desires such a- trial, in order that "all the facts "r-- k Kwnsrht out Jind that, the re--,-'"iv-.. v b v r: ' vl;re it taken -nru dnys, -- to ir guilt, there is ,n6i doubt .of it in the mindsof leading'1 members, and all renots to the contrary are untrue New York, May 25. The Daily News makes public a story of deception and crime seldom met with. ? It appears that when Mrs. Gen. Eaton, so famous as the leader of social and fashionable lif in Washington during the administration of President Jackson, became a widow in a foreign land, she returned to this country, and took "up her residence. She adopted two of her grandchildren a boy and a girl and with a competence amounting to at least $100,000, was living very happily. At length an Italian adventurer named Uourgonoir, was employed as a dancing-master for, the .children, and they.took. .such a liking to him j that they ' prevailed on their grandmother to. allow him to be introduced to their home, the result of which was: that iemarried Mrs. Eaton, aiid succeeding eventually in gettingpossession of. all her property. Nor did he stop here; , but prevailed, udodl her to place in his charge' the property she had set apart for her grandchildren, all of which he hadthetuljl use and benent t.i .tie thetf "feet to" work corrupting" the; girl, and finally sailed for Europej last Wednesday, taking her with njm as his wife. lie left a note for sMrs. Eaton, in which he told her he had converted all her (pr,opertytinto cash, and "would" allow her twenty dollars per week if she would keep the matter quiet. t ... ; .t New York, May 25. The fWr money article says the ehief "feiature of importance in Wall Street is -the firmness . given-: to the Five-Twenties by the report that, from the-rise in gold: the foreign, houses who. had im ported them from Europe cannqt sell. them Here at a pront, ana are conse quently exporting them i The i loan market is active at seven per bent., but at this rate borrowers can get all the accommodation they want. The stock market is dull but firm. New York. May 2o. lhere are confident statements afloat to the effect that the leading stockholders and a majority of the directors of the W. U. and American leiegrapn com panies have substantially agreed on a basis of consolidation. ;- . , -,...'.,1 FROM WASHISOTO.V. , J "Washington, May 25.
