HALF PAST ELEVEN.—­Great war between Erie and the Tribune. Tribune interdicted on Erie Railway and Boston and Long Branch steamers.  Desolation of the Hub in consequence.  Panic amongst Tribune stockholders.

TWELVE.—­FISK says that the Tribune is so heavy that it must far the future be paid for by weight, on his steamers.  It is felt that this course, if adopted by Mr. GREELEY, would be financially ruinous to the interests of his paper.

HALF PAST TWELVE.—­It is stated here that Mr. GREELEY, in the effectual disguise of a bran new hat and respectable boots, succeeded in smuggling a carpet bag filled with Tribunes on board the Plymouth Rock.  Much anxiety is felt here concerning his fate, in case the Admiral should discover his presence on board.

THREE O’CLOCK.—­It is now rumored that Fisk did not apply his fingers in the manner stated.

HALF PAST FOUR.—­Market (at Delmonico’s) gone frantic over a consignment of Opera Bouffe sent by the Erie Protection Committee as a mark of confidence in the present Erie management.  Eries said to be in good voice.  Preferred stock will open in about a month with an extensive and carefully selected ballet.
