1 INSTILITIES DI THBIUVER PLATE. This morning some further correspondence was ,hlished respecting the hostilities in the River Plate. of the latest and most important documents of the :.os is the following from Lord Stanley to Mr. Stuart : " Poreign-oflice, July 7, 1868. With regard to the war in Paraguay, her Majesty's romment have at present no inducement to interfere, I. ast as far as British interests generally are concerned ; :0.1 there seems little likelihood that any tender of inter on their part, with a view to the restoration of v.sv, would be sincerely accepted by both, even if it s. a. by either, of the belligerents.

Mr. Gould says, "Up to the present :ue it only rests, air far as I have been able to ascertain, ..1 some vague statements in the Paraguayan official :per the Semareario.

A girl about 17 years of age, who gave the name of Emma Williams, and was a few days ago charged before Alderman Fiume with assaulting Pollw-constable Gel latley when he was taking her in a cab to where she said she heed, was again placed at the bar before the same magistrate for further examination. Giellatley stated that the prisoner's conduct had been very strange since she had been in prison, and until that morning she had refused to give any clue to her frieuds. She had, however, rtated that her name was Elizabeth Dunn, and that let- father was a tailor, working at Dunn's Tailor's Laboer Agency, Newington causeway. Upon inquiry that turned out to be true, and the father was present. The father stepped into the witness-box, and in answer to Alderman Mums, said the prisoner was the eldest of four, and was out at service, but she was continually leaving her places through being saucy. In all her situations she bore a good character, and was strictly hiaiest. He could not have her home because their lives were not safe, she having frequently threatened to murder them, and he was afraid she would do it. She had been in Horsemonger-lane gaol for misbehaviour, and there she was examined as to her state el mind, but he did not know what the repot was. At the Lambeth police-court she had been sermely repri manded. He did not know what to do with her. Alderman Finnis said he did not think she was right in her mind, and he could not think of letting her go at large. He would send her for one month to the house of correction for assaulting the police constable, and at the ex piration of that time she should be sent to the Lambeth workhouse to be taken care of. W'he•u the prisoner was being removed she exclaimed, •• it I had my boot off I would throw it at your head.•• CLERKENWELL. ROCONBINO AND ROBBERY. Charlotte Coleman, aged 25, a charwoman, of Golden lane, St. Luke's, was charged, before Mr. Barker, with stealing, at Batb-street, St. Luke's, a shawl, value 2a., the property of Mrs. Elizabeth Rodman. Yesterday (Friday) the prisoner met the prosecutris outside a public-house, spoke to her and borrowed some money from her. Accordi ng to the prosecutziz's state ment, after a great deal of persuasion she was in duced to go into a beer-shop, and when she sat down the prisoner placed a pocket-handkerchief over her face, and she was rendered at once incapable of moving although she remembered seeing the prisoner take off her shawl and walk off with it. As soon as she recovered herself she gave information to the police, and afterwards meeting the prisoner, said that if she would give her the shawl she would not pro- secute. The prisoner made a great disturbance, but a constable coming up she was given into custody. The promeutrix said that she was sure that she had been hocuseed, and she thought that chloroform was on the handkerchief that was put to her face. If she could now get her shawl, she would not prosecute, but she was com pelled to go on, as her husband said that the sh..wl was not stolen, but that she had given it away. The prisoner said she was innocent of the charge im puted to her, and had never seen the prosecutris. Mr. Barker remanded the prisoner for a week, and con sented to take bail. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. nemos George lay, a collector, of No. 28, Coleman =City, was charged before Mr. Knox with violently ling Eliza Pazdoe, a married woman, residing at No. 22 7r 1'eeer-etreet, St. James's. complainant, whose head was bandaged, and who appeared to have been much braised, said that about seven o'clock yesterday, on her way home from the Military Storm, where she was employed as atailorese, she stopped at the door of a house in Whitcomb-street to speak to a friend, when she saw the prisoner, who was very drunk, corning along the street. Directly fterwards she saw the prisoner run after a doctor's boy, who had a basket on his arm, and attempt to kick him in a brutal manner. She went to the boy's protection, and drew him into a passage, when the prisoner came up and after using most offensive epreesione towards both her and the boy, he attacked her in a violent manner, blackening one of her eyes, shattering her teeth, and bruising her all over. In answer to Mr. Knox the complainant said that she gave the prisoner no provocation whatever, all she did was to protect the boy from being kicked. Mr. Cameron, of No. 9, Dorset-place, Pall-mall, said that be saw the prisoner, who was drunk, first hit the boy with the basket, and then because the complainant pulled the boy into the passage the prisoner attacked her. Police-constable Ward, 107 A, proved that the prisoner was drunk. The prisoner said that he had taken some whisky with some friends, and remembered nothing more than that some boys vexed him. He went after one of them, and on a female protecting the boy he struck her twice as nearly as he could recollect, and a man came up and gave him a good hiding, and then he was taken into custody. Mr. Knox said it was not foe him, sitting in the chair be did, to commend a person who used a threat of vio lence, but he considered the prisoner deserved any amount of thrashing any of the bystanders thought proper to give him. He should commit the prisoner for two mouths, with bald labour. Mr. Kuux refused the application of the prisoner's eniplo)er to alter the decision to a fine, WEATHER BEPORT.-(THIS DAY.) SATURDAY.

D. • • • ' • PO LLI EXPRESS, 5A.71711 - I)AY- DREADFUL PAN!(' AT A MUSPI-11Aa.: TWFATII-SIX KILLED. AND THIRTEEN WOUNDED. (From the Morichesler Entwiner of this day.) Yusbrilay evening a deplorable aocident Do ve, ed at a place of amusement known as "B. Lang's Vie toria Music-bell," Victoria-bridge. The room in which the eutertairiniente take Islam oocupiee thethree upper floors of& fcinr-storey boilding, the outer portion of which is a range of shops. A large number of persons were admitted yester day evening at 2d. ench, the ordinary price, to witnest the benefit pet for mance of Mr. and Mrs. Clifford, vocalists. The perfoi mance* commenced at half-past six. All went well till about ten o'clock. Shortly after that hour soma of the youths who were in the back part of the audience in the pit, in their eagerness to obtain a better view of what was going on upon the stage, lifted themselves by the gas pendants, three of which were soon broken off. No evil consequences could have followed had not somebody in the pit raised an alarm of " Vire !" There wee immediately a rush to the staircase from tho two upper Te iitaircabo Li sic feet wide, and winds up btlwetn walls from the ground floor to the top gallery, with a landing-stage on tech floor. The crush of p'opte attempting to leave was terrific, and appears to have been the role mute of the loss of life. Mr. Clifford role up on the stage and did all he could to allay the panic, by telling the jooplo there was nothing to fear if they would keep their plaits. All remenstianoes were vain. Mon and women precipitated themselves recklessly one over another down the fist flight. The degree of pressure at the onset may be judged from the fact that out of !a audience of nearly 1,01.0 in two galleries, scarcely a score forebore to rush to the common staircase. The other ball of the audience, who were in the pit, would find compara tively safe egress from a separate staircase. At the time this account was written it was not ascertained how many were injured from the crush on the stairs, or how many by the attempts to sayethemselves through jumping from the win dows. From a quarter past 10 to 11 o'clock 26 dead bodies were received at the infirmary. A large number of severely injured cases were also taken to the in firmary, of which 13 or 14 were considered so serious that they were sent for treatment to the surgical wards, Of these several are set down as dangerous cases. Eight persons, after receiving treatment for bruises and contused wounds, were sent out. Shortly alter the accident occurred, and as soon as information of its serious nature had had time to spread, a large and deeply excited crowd gathered outside of the Infirmary gates, many of whom were women, who, believing that their Mends might be among the killed, made clamorous and weeping entreaties to be admitted to the dead-house, but up to midnight it was impossible to admit anyone within the walla, and none of the bodies bad been identified.

A letter from Ems relates that the King of Prussia, while walk'ng under the colonnade in that town a few days back, with his aides-dc-camp, Count de Dilindorfl and Count de Hymnen, perceived in a shop a marble bust of himself, crowned with a wreath of laurel. Going in, be said to the dealer :—" Take off the poor man's head-dress ; he does not like to see himself made such a show." The project of enlarging the fortifications of Mayence has been abandoned by the Pruseian government on the advice of the military engineers. The choice of the fresh si:e has fallen upon Frankfort-on Ake -Maine. The Escaut mentions a terrible accident which took place at the village of Sainte-Anne (Tite-de-Flandre), in Belgrum, three days back. A number of persons were assembled in en enclosure in which sparrow shooting was going on, when a barrel of gunpowder exploded, and more or less seriously injured about 30 persons. THE REPRESENTATION OF BRADFORD.—At a meeting of the supporters of Mr. Thompson, M.P., held last night, the hon. gentleman announced his determina tion to retire from the representation of Bradford. He had come to this decision, he mid, from the conviction that parliamentary life did not suit him, and no consideration, he added, would, under these circumstances, again induce him to re-enter parliament. After a vote of thanks to the bon. member, it was at first proposed to adjourn the meeting, but the gentlemen present expressed themselves strongly in favour of selecting another candidate to con test the borough against Mr. Miall. The names of Mr. Ripley and Mr. Powell, M.P., were mentioned, the former receiving general support, but no final decision was come to.—Leeds Memory. A RAILWAY AND RAILWAY TRACT ON FIRE. — The whole district of Ryedale was en Thursday morning with an unmistakeable odour of burning peat rro e i r i a rdown from the moors by the strong north wind. On inquiry it turned out that an early North Eastern goods tram from Halton to Whitby bad in it three waggons of •• pickled " sleepers, which are highly inflammable. About Fen bogs, on the Saltersgate moors, two of there loads were found to be on fire. They burnt violently until the whole cargo and the waggons had disappeared. The fire was communicated to the sleepers of the railway, the heat of the whole so twisting the rails that the traffic was stopped until the damaged portion of the line could be relaid. From the railway the fire spread to the adjoining moor, the ling and turf of which were as dry as possible. It spread rapidly and burnt all day, but on Thursday night it was thought its progress was arrested. On Friday morning it was re ported that the fire had run up the side of the glen to the hill top, but that the men had succeeded in getting the flame out. The thick peaty turf on the ground is all on fire, and nothing but heavy rain can put it out. Men are watching to suppress any outbreak of flame. The cause of the fire seems a mystery, as when the train pained a Pet of repairers 200 yards back all wee right. By train at 2.30 yesterday it was reported the fire was spreading to the moors, in spite of the efforts of a great number of I men, who were doing their utmost to thrash out the fire with branches of trees. _ _ • ------- -- -- A MuNerEg COWONERY.—In Nevada a Mr. Bong lots a cocooricry CA) feet square and 18 foot high.

Tho Sporting 0 arAtte - says that Sir Charles Legard and General Peel have accepted the stewardship of the Goodwood meeting nest year. The same journal states that Admiral nous has been subpoenaed as a wit new in the approaching trial for slander, brought by Mr. Bardinge against Messrs. Valentine and Wright, which is likely to come on at Guildford on Monday next. IN 13 learn frtm the Sportsmen that Mr. Green's Venom, while running in front for the Goodwood Stakes, slipped upon her aide on rounding the first turn, all the horses thmcdiately in her wake jumping over her cud Wyatt, the lot escaping from what, at the time, appeared to be a most unrogient danger. 'I he Opertmy Lye says that Gomera broke down badly while running for the 'Goodwood Stakes, and has been struck out of all engagements. It became known merlons to the race that the had • doubtful leg, which was the cause of her going back in the betting. The same authority points out as • "singular coincidence," that last year Ostreger commenced the Goodwood Meeting by winning the 4kaven Stakes and subsequently carried off the Chesterfield Cup. This year Chainwood did the same thing. A "feeler" over the Craven Course will, no doubt, influence owners and backers in future in their apeoulatican on the Chesterfield Cup, as some good horses invariably run for thejiret event, and it is, therefore, a capital criterion. On Friday morning (July 24), the well-known steeple chase horse Bon Espoir, whilst taking a gallop in the big ride at Chantilly, overpowered his lad, and coming in con tact with a tree as he swerved out of the path, 'gnashed his head frightfully, and he died in the oourse of the day. The loss to the owner, mays Belts Life, is at least 1,0001., as Bon Espoir was nearly the best steeple-chaser in France. Yearns° Tits.—One of the most successful, if not the most successful, cruise of the season made by Irish yachtsmen has just been accomplished in the yacht Norma, the property of Mr. J. Barrington, in which the Lord Lieutenant made so many trips previous to his departure from Ireland for the London season; and the craft has safely returned to her Irish anchorage. The Norma, with her spirited owner and a select party of friends, after sailing from the Irish coast and making her cross-Channel passage, was brought through the Caledonian Canal to Inverness ; from thence over the North Sea to Bergen, on the coast of Norway, from whore she was sailed to Copenhagen; then to Rotterdam, whence she was steered along the south coast of Great Britain; then across Channel to her anchorage at Kingstown, where she has arrived lately. Luring the whole cruise the weather was unprecedently delightful, notwithstanding the unusually high tempera ture, there being no after storm; yet a sufficiently stiff breeze in the northern latitudes to render the trip most COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS.

THE REPRESENTATION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF Urn:ooX —ln a letter, which appears in our adver tising columns of this day, Mr. Bagehot re linquishes his candidature for the University of London. The spectator says : "We regret Mr. Begehot's retire ment, both on account of the character of the candi date whom the university has lost, and on account of the character of the member whom the univer sity has in all probability secured. Mr. Bagehot, though of course far less widely known to the world than Mr. Lowe, and never, perhaps, likely to produce the same impression of a bsolute bril liance which Mr. Lowe produces on parliament, is to our minds far fitter than Mr. Lowe to represent the high and equably distributed culture of • modern university,—in other words, has • far completer and a far more judicial mind. Mr. Lowe's speeches on university education have shown a thoroughly incoherent, almost an inconsiderate and random intellect. In the higher statesmanship, too, he has been singularly unsagamous. But even more than for the blot on the intellectual, we feel for the blot on the liberal character of the university which is likely to elect Mr. Lowe as its first member. The statesman who could throw so many cynical sarcasms at the working claws as he threw from 180 to 1867, who could suggest, for instance, that • ' Beast Parliament,' like that in Reinke Ftichs, could be defended on precisely the same principles as the various Reform Bills, and that the working classes would be sure to know their own strength better than ' Curran's fleas, who, if they had been unanimous, would have pushed him out of the bed, does not seem to us a fortunate choice for the most liberal of our English universities. Mr. Bagehot is • generous rival, and says nothing of Mr. Lowe but what is kind as well as true. Perhaps he might have been more successful if he had entered more keenly into the feelings of pain and indigna tion excited by Mr. Lowe's cynical political epigrams and misanthropic political creed. DEATH OF 41... e Arr.icuz OF LADY RESTED STANHOPE. —One of the few surviving attache , * of Lady Hester Stanhope has died at Constan t' e—II. Michael Nevem, proprietor and impresario of the Italian Theatre of the same name in Pers. Naoum was of Aleppine descent, and the son of a tobacco dealer. When a boy of le or 16, he attracted the notice of lady Hester and was by her taken to Syria. He remained with her for some years, being at length dismissed for too great assiduity in fea thering his nest. Of late years he claimed to rank as dragoman to lad) Hester, but according to his statement to the writer of this, his duties were mucellaneous. He had shaved Lady Hester's head more than once. Oa one occasion my lady took it into her head she would have i sieves made n the Engliah style for stable use, and Naoum and his colleagues were ordered to get up sieves on pout of dismissal. Every day after dinner did he set to work with his bundle of split reeds, but they were too brittle. At last, one day, he found by accident that on being wetted the weaving could be effected, and he accomplished his task, receivin g tained his faith in her to the last day of his life.—dthe -5d551. According to the Panama Star, a French ship arrived at Santiago from South America, with 40 ewes avid rams, which were purchased at Rambouillet in France. The rams coat 1,500 franca each, and the ewes 800 franca each. The freight amounted to 8,500 front's, besides which the captain receives a premium of 25 frame for each sheep, and the shepherd who has charge of the animals has 10 franca a day during the voyage from France and back, and a premium on each sheep.

Is. ad, The failure of a memberof the Stock Exchange, a "jobber" or dealer,was announced yesterday,viith liabilities to the extent of about 9,0001. His difficulties have been caused by some extensive operations for a rise in Spanish Securities, which have latterly declined. Another membe r of the same establishment, connected with the mining department, stopped payment on Thursday. There were no bullion operations at the bank yesterday. Further amounts areiblely to be with drawn from that establishment for exportation, owing to the flatness of the Paris Exchange. The only alteration in the foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon was a trifling reduction in the rates for bills on Vienna and Madrid, the latter movement being in favour of this country.
