1 European advices received to the 2d lust, by 
steamer City of Paris. The British Ministry 
refuse to regard the close vote on the Reform 
Bill as equivalent to a defeat. The Liberal 
papers rejoice that the issue is now plain. There 
is a panic in the Loudon money market,— like¬ 
wise in Paris. Napoleon and his Cabinet had the 
Austria-Itullan question under advisement on 
the 30th ult. It is asserted that it was deter¬ 
mined to InBist that Italy accept the proposition 
offered by Austria. Both Governments are pre¬ 
paring to light. Great enthusiasm is manifested 
throughout Italy in view of probable war,—150,- 
000 men bavo been called out by the (J overnment. 
It. Is asserted that the Italians desire war. The 
Austrian force at Venetia is 160,000. A Mexi¬ 
can envoy had arrived at Vienna from Maxi¬ 
milian. The German question continues to be 
agitated. The Austria-I’russian relations show 
no improvement. A Berlin dispatch talks of 
probable increased armaments by Prussia. The 
Austrian Iron - chubs have received orders to 
put to sea, — destination, the German ocean 
and the Baltic. The Prussian troops have ad¬ 
vanced nearer the Austrian frontier. It is pub¬ 
lished in Vienna that Austria intends to propose 
a European Congress, it is thought no imme¬ 
diate rupture between Austria and Prussia will 
take place, though affairs continue critical. 
Proposals are to be submitted to the Federal 
Diet. Negotiations arc peuding between the 
Prussian and Italian Governments. A Florence 
telegram says a proclamation has been issued by 
the Minister of War, calling under arms soldiers 
absent on furloughs.

As will be seen by lire table of cinotations below, the 
market, for most kinds of farm produce, shows an ad¬ 
vancing tendency. This change was not generally 
looked for; indeed, an opposite tendency was naturally 
to have been expected. Whether prices are still further 
to appreciate or not Is a debatable point with dealers, and 
one not easily settled at present. The trouble 1.* to deter, 
mine, satisfactorily, whether there Is, or is not, a de¬ 
ficiency In the usual supply of marketable products; for, 
on this point depeudi the question ot an advance; or a 
decline. Speculator* may give » fictitiouH value to pro¬ 
ducts they hold for a time. but. many of them being of a 
1 perishable nature, tbix unnatural Inflation cannot be of 
long continuance. Judging ot the future by (lie post, It 
I- safe to assume that the recent advance, on many arti¬ 
cles, la spnsmodic and not Justly attributable to a short 
supply of any particular commodity. The reported fail¬ 
ure Of the. wheat crop, In many sect I out of the west, will 
account, In a measure, for the. rise In breadstuff*, but it 
should be remembered that this cry of failure is periodic, 
and the l'cars based upon It rarely Justified by the harvest 
following. The quotations below will indicate the pres¬ 
ent ruling of the market:

The New York Board of Health recently dis¬ 
patched an officer to the milk depot, of the 
Harlem Railroad Company to watch the opera¬ 
tions of the milkmen. He found that many of 
them brought a can flllc-d with water, &o as to 
thus increase the volume ot the fluid. Thirty 
milk dealers were in the habit of patronizing 
one hydrant. The proportion of water used was 
from four to eight quarts to a forty quart can.
