The quarantine is reduced to five days for vessels from New Orleans, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and New York, and three days from other ports of the Union, provided there ig no sickness on board and t! vessels have clean bille ef bealth. A despatch trom Oregon says ex-Governor A. C. Gibbs has been nominated for U.S. Sen- ator. The vote stood: Gibbs. 21; J.H. Mitehell, 15; scattering, 3. The Senate beld an election and gave Gibbs a majority ef four; but the House adjourned without action, and subse. quently appointed the 25th of September as the day for election. Great excitement pre. vailed throughout the session. It has rained almost incessantly out West since Monday evening, and the storm is not over yet. A very unuenal amonnt of water has fallen. The rains have extended over a large portion of the West and Northwest, and all the rivers arerising. Considerable damage bas been done te the Hannibal, St. Joseph, and otber railroads. The Polytechnic College of Pennsylvania began its fourth annual session Wednesday, with a large attendance, including sudents from the extreme North and South, and aiso some from moo who come to study our American met of mining, bridge building. and railroad making. it is estimated that 20,000,000 bushels of cern bave been ee by the freshet in the Miami bottoms. ports from the North west represent the flood as general, with immense destruction of property.

The attendance at the New Jersey fair is very large, not less than twenty thousand per- sons being on the gronnd. The display ot horses, cattle.and farm prodoce is very fine; but in agricultural implements there is not such eompetitions as has been at previous fairs at Trenton. It is positively stated that no loss whatever willoceur to either depositors or holders in comsequence of the stoppage of the Bank of Upper. Canada.

Tne CONDITION OF AUSTRIA.—Itis annonnc- ed that Austria is at present suffering from the troubles that always ta mation in times of defeat. The Emperor finds his Cabinet con- stantly quarreling, and the difficulties caused by the many jealousies of races, that the Aus- trian Empire has always felt, are now increas- ed tenfold. No sooner is one quarrel appeased than a worse one breaks out. Austrian finan- ces, too, are in a bad condition. The Govern- ment is endeavoring to negotiate Treasury notes and loans amounting to $245,0),000, but thev arious species are allate discount, being quoted at from 46 to 69 cents on the@@ollar. In many quarters the le, impoverisned by the war, are demanding Government aid, and $10,000.00 have just been appropriated for the benefit of the Han, ans, whilst the Vienna trad le ask for $1,000.00. Thus Aus. tria, with her funds et @ great discount, is compelled to pay not only her own war ex- penses and those of Prussia, bat also her own people. A NEw Swinpve.—Storekeepers should be on their guard against the practices of a young, sharn and smooth-faced chevalier d'industrie, who operates in the following manner:—He enters a store, and, flinging dowa upon the desk say ) bill, asks, with great suavityand familiarit if you will please oblige him with four fives |’ and, as the change desired 1s far- nished, he further asks to have one in smaller notes. As the storekeeper or clerk turns to comply with this request, he adroitly slips out of sight one of the fives, and then remarks gravely, “There are but three fives!” Ot course. if the attendant is busy or has not noticed particularly what he gave him, he will probably concede it he may have made a mistake, and band the swindler out another five, for which he returne thanks, and returns to victimize some other obliging individual.— N.Y.

The hall was elegantly decorated with festoons of flowers and evergreens, tastefully interspersed with Tmottoes, Onthe way from the hotel to the hall loud cheers were given for James Ste. phens and General Gleason. The arrival of the party was the signal for the most vocifer- ous cheering. clapping of hands and stamping of feet.

Many of the engineers had been kept on continuous duty for twenty-two and twenty-three hours; indeed until some of them feil exhausted on the floors of their en- gines. On Saturday, eighteen hours was on several roads tbe regular period of labor, and signal men were often found asleep in their boxes.
