LONDON, TBURSDAY, JULY 5. LATE in the day, but not too late to save her honour or her vital interests as a powerful em pire, Austria has expressed her readiness to cede Venetia through the medium of the Emperor of the FRENCH, and we have reason to hope that the armistice which his Imperial MAJESTY has requested of Prussia and Italy will also lead to such a settlement of the troubles in Germany as will save humanity a repetition of the frightful carnage which has been witnessed this week on the plains of Bohemia. It is no secret that there are Austrian statesmen who, before the war began, counselled the yielding up of the territory which was necessary neither to Austrian dignity nor Austrian power ; but their representations were disregarded, and, trusting in the genius of his commander-in-chief, the Emperor Faxxcis JOSEPH entered the contest with two ene mies facing him instead of one, and unable to concentrate his army against the foe from whose ambition he had most to fear. But at such a moment those who have the peace of Europe and the stability of Austria at hear , wil not care to reflect upon the errors of the past, but will rather encourage the movement which, if successful, will retrieve them. One feeling, how ever, that must bp uppermost where liberty is loved, and which must gain expression through all the reserves expediency may suggest, is the feeling of joy that the long looked for deli verance of the Venetians, in whose cause so many martyrs have fallen, and whose claims have been regarded as sacred by every generous mind, seems at last about to be achieved. In the tide of emotion which this fact will excite, considerations as to the means and influences employed will be lost, and wo must leave to the future a treatment of the course of events which has again seemed to place the Emperor of the FRENCEI in the light of a benefactor to Italy, though in this case without even the semblance of a sacrifice. Throughout free Europe, and in the great Republic across the Atlantic, the prospect of the emancipa tion of the Venetians and of their union with the other branches of the Italian family will be hailed as a golden event in contemporary history, and all will join in the prayer that the happiness of the Italians may not be checked by any schemes or conditions of the ceding Power or of others which would lead either to humiliation or discord. The relations of Austria to Prussia and of Prussia to the rest of Germany will be re vised under circumstances which no one a fortnight ago could possibly have foreseen, and the uncertainty now is scarcely less than it was then. Many obstacles present themselves to the mind that dwells on the subject ; but we trust that the desire for peace, which is still so universal in Germany, and the counsels of wisdom and of humanity will be paramount. THE substance of Mr. GLADSTONE'S letter to the London Working Men's Association must have abundantly compensated those to whom it was addressed for any disappointment which they may have felt at his non-acceptance of their invitation publicly to receive their thanks for his unwearied exertions in the cause of Reform, and for his generous vindication of their order from the coarse and cowardly calumnies of some of their parlia mentary assailants. The good sense of the mem ben of the Association led them promptly to acquiesce in Mr. G L A DSTONE'S reluctance to extend his public appearances in connexion with the Reform debate beyond the House of Commons and the area of his own consti tuency. What is a rule for him is not neces sarily a rule for others. But as a past and future Minister of the Crown, it is net for him to undertake the rule of an out-of-doors agitator. The two bodies to which he owes responaibility— the House of Commons, of which he is a con spicumni member, and the community of which he is the political representative—have a right to the fullest and frankest statement of his opinions. If he did not seek to impress them upon the Parlia mentary associates and the constituents with whom he standa in the closest constitutional relation, and to stir both up to lawftiViwc tion ink their behalf, he would be guil of • 'failure of public duty. But to pass d Abese liras b i n would be to afford a pre* f thircharg• el , aiding to manufacture thoi puldid -. opinion on which, in part, his advice as a counsellor of the Sovereign assumes to be based, and of creating a factitious necessity for the sake of obeying it . The victories of the English have often been said to arise from a constitutional peculiarity—that they do not know when they are beaten. Rather they are not prone to fancy themselves beaten, before being so. They do not despair because they are not in a moment victorious, nor take a repulse for an overthrow, nor a temporary discomfiture for a general rout. The language in which Mr. GLaneroxs speaks of Reform shows a similar temper and resolution. He, and the col leagues and followers in whose name he speaks, have nailed their colours to the mast. They will not " recede from the ground on which they " have stood during the contest." If they appear to retreat, it is only to advance with the greater impulse—ruler pour mieuz /outer. " I look," says Mr. Gworrozen, " upon the " resignation by Earl RussELL's Government "of their offices as one more onward step " towards the accomplishment of their object, and "in the hour of defeat I have the presenti ' went of victory." It is in this spirit that vic tories are won. If the Liberal forces had been as well commanded in previous conflicts, the strug gle would before this have been over. It is, indeed, impossible to over-estimate the enormous strength of Mr. Gtanarowe's leadership. His surpassing gifts of eloquence and his still more attractive sin cerity are united with a force of character which subdues men, and a tenacity of purpose which never abandons an object once deliberately and conscientiously embraced—which confronts and beats down open opposition—and which patiertly but relentlessly tracks evasion through all its windings until the game is felt to be up. But Mr. GlansroNa has other sources of power than this. It is scarcely extravagant to say that he is, so far as any public man can be so, a necessity to the commerce and industry of the Empire ; for that con fidence which is the life of trade is reposed almost exclusively in him among living statesmen. The mercantile classes view with impatience and un easiness his absence from office. On the more intelligent portion of the working classes he has even a stronger hold. They have not only shared the proBperity which his commercial and financial policy has diffused through the community, bat they are thankful for wise and considerate schemes framed for their more especial advantage ; and they look to him for the great social reforms which the ago needs. When a statesman, thus strong in himself, and strong in the gratitude and hopes of thu immense masses of his countrymen, identifies his political career with the passing of a measure of political enfranchisement, it would be faint hearted in friends to despond as to the issue ; it is blindness in enemies not to perceive it. The course taken by the late Government and the late Opposition during the earlier part of the present session foreshadows very plainly the line of conduct which each will adopt now that their relative positions are changed. Mr. DISRAELI and his friends sought pretexts for delay, and they will continuo to seek them. Mr. GLADSTONE ex posed those pretexts and disallowed them, and pressed on to immediate action ; and ho will doubtless continue to do so. The desirability of further inquiry, the need of additional statis tics, the propriety of referring the question of Reform to a Royal Commission, are topics very likely to be urged by a Tory Cabinet. As in op position they endeavoured, for the moment with success, to defeat the measure of the late Govern ment without openly declaring against any one of its provisions, so in office they will probably attempt to get rid of Reform in the guise of Reformers. They will endeavour to ply the long-standing debt and its accumulated interest in flash notes and a forged coinage. The arch-enchanter of Tor 3 :sea will try to pass off the false DCESSA for the true UNA. Against these arts we are glad to find Mr. GLADSTONE not only on the watch himself, but emphatically cautioning his followers and allies : " To wait with patience the course of present " events, to be especially on our guard against any illusory or reactionary measure simulating the " name and character of Reform, to encourage " the calm, serious, orderly, and temperate ex " pression of opinion, these seem to be the chief " duties of the hour." In these words Mr. GLansroNE points to the great danger of the time. There is, it must he re membered, a class, happily only a small class, of dupes ready made to the hand of any deceiver, —men of the best intentions and the worst judgment, whose hopes and fears are in a per petual conflict. They wish to be liberal, but are mortally afraid of being democratic ; they are anxious for the substance of Reform, but are always seeing behind it the shadow of Revo lution. In short, they desire at once to stand still and to move 011,—to reconcile the preserva tion of things precisely as they are with the modern spirit of improvement. A scheme for elaborately doing nothing, a mechanism, wheel within wheel, for producing a dead-lock, is their ideal of political ingenuity. Such anti-reforming Reformers are the real, though unconscious, allies of the Tory party. They have something of ➢lr. GLAnsroNE's subtlety and of Mr. MILL'S spe culative refinement, without the strength and penetration which, in the case of these eminent men, balance and check otherwise dangerous gifts. Weak themselves, they strengthen Conser vatism. In return for Mr. GLADSTONE'S exertions and advice, the working classes owe him support. They must give that by showing, in every lawful and constitutional way, that the desire for Reform is general among their order, and is accompanied by the determination to have it. Petitions are good for this purpose, but public meetings are better, and we trust they will be frequent and crowded, but, above all, orderly and temperate. For the first time, the anniversary of American independence was yesterday celebrated conjointly by the ships-of-war of England and America in an English port. Her Majesty's ships Victory, Capt. the Hon. F. Egerton C. 8., A.D.C. to the Queen, the flag-ship of th e Port., Admiral and Naval Commander-in• Chief at Portsmouth, Duke of Wellington, St. Vincent, and other vessels in commission at Portsmouth harbour; the United States' paddle steamship Augusta, 10 guns, Captain Alexander Murray, with her Majesty's ships Pallas, Captain M. Connolly, and Amazon, Commander Hunter, at Spithead, all dressed in colours at 8 a.m., her Majesty's ships flying the American flag at their main-royal-mast heads. At meridian a national salute of 21 guns was fired from all of her Majesty's ships carrying above 10 guns, from the Augusta, and also from the garrison saluting battery on the King's bastion of Portsmouth town fortifications. The Augusta will fill up with coal at Spithead, and after wards join the Miantonomoh turret ship, Captain Beau mont, in the Thames, on the arrival there of that vessel from Cherbourg. According to the new postal law in New York State prepaid and free letters are to be forwarded, at the request of the party addressed, from one poet office to another, without additional charge, and returned dead letters restored to the writers thereof free of postage. F r, OUR COSTRMPORARIES. . • (THIS DAY.) THE PRIISSIAN VICTORY. • Regarding the battle of Tuesday es a decisive blow and a disaster to Austria which cannot be exceeded in extent, the Times urges Austria to now provide for the safety of the state by coming to terms. King William of Prussia is in the camp, and the Emperor Francis. Joseph is not very far from Benedek's head quarters. Let there be at Pardubitz, or at Olmiitz, each an interview as there was after Austerlitz and after Bolferino. Better terms than Austria may obtain now wall certainly not be granted to her after two or three months' protracted struggle has added to the exasperation of hostile passions, nor after many more thousands of Austria's noblest sons lie deep in their blood on the battlefield. On what conditions the two great Germ= powers could oome to agreement at the present moment it would be difficult to say, and it would be unnecessary. All that is required of Austria is that she should sue for a suspension of hostilities, which there Is little doubt would be readily granted. From an armi stice to a peace, the Emperor Francis Joseph knows by experience there ii but one step in a Me-4-0e between two monarchs. A glance at the map, observes the Daily New, will show that as a result of this battle the Austrians have lost the whole of Bohemia, excepting only their line of retreat. If this be correct, it follows that the Prussians, notwith standing their losses, are still able to follow up their suc cess, while it should seem that the Austrian army has abandoned all hope of maintaining its communications with Prague, and is content to seek refuge at Olmuts or Bruno, or it may be under the walla of Vienna. From what quarter can reinforcements be now obtained ! Troops coming from Venetia must now make a detour of many hundred miles through Vienna in t order to reach the camp of Benedek, while the Prussians will be able to call in all their scattered corps and to pour down with over whelming fury on the flying fragments of what was Weis the great Austrian army of the north. Nor is this all. For the result of their occupation of Pardubitz must be to cut off all communication between the Austrians and the federal army in the west. The Prusaians perceived their vantage ground, nor is it probable that they will relax their grip upon the army of Benedek until it has either crumbled to pieces, or until the Emperor its master sues for peace. The Peat, in common, we may remark, with the rest of the journals, point' out the enormous advantages which have been given to the Prussians over their adversaries by the precision of the needle-gun, and the Post refers to • rumour that it was the consciousness of the immense supe riority of this weapon that decided Count Bismarck to brave the enmity of all Germany. The Tehgraph thinks it premature to discuss the pos sibility of an early peace. The success which has attended the Imperial arms in Italy throughout, and which receives • fresh illustration in a repulse of the volunteer force under Garibaldi himself, is so far an encouragement to persevere. It counterbalances, however imperfectly, the long train of disasters in the north, and will, we may rest assured, be welcomed accordingly. The Western Powers may effectively intervene at a certain stage of the contest, with an appeal to Prussian moderation and Austrian good sense ; but that stage is not yet in sight. The Star imagines that no attempt will be made to de fend Prague, but that Benedek will concentrate his efforts on the task of protecting Vienna. It is chimerical to fancy that after one great defeat Austria is likely to suc cumb. Peace has yet to be bought by long sacrifices, and at a hese y price. No one can tell, the Standard says, what will be the imme diate issue of this defeat. Austria has a wonderful tenacity, and the spirit of her court and people is not easily subdued. She may brave everything rather than submit without a fu•ther struggle. She may make peace. Prussia has not come out of the contest so cheaply but that she would be content with moderate terms ; nor is she very likely to consider the claims of Italy worth the ruin of Austria if she be once secure of all she began the war for. found niftiest for the elections rendered necessau by Mt' acceptance et office, and anticipates therelbre, *at Me.: Disraeli will ibt ask tomorrow night for a looser adjouri went than till the 10.

The Star considers the appointment of Viscount Clan , borne as preponarons,and as given to him because India is the only department in which he could be chief with out goading the House of Commons into inexorable hos tility.

We learn from the Times that no ministerial explanation will take place before next Monday. Lord Granville will this evening, in compliance with a request of Lord Derby, move the adjournment of the Upper House till that day, and a similar motion will be made in the House of Com mons. It is, of course, impossible that the members of the new cabinet sitting in the House of Commons can make their appearance there till after they have been re-elected and as it is nut expected that the council at Windsor will separate to-morrow in time for Lord Derby to be present in the House of Lords at its usual hour of assembling, the adjournment till Monday is inevitable. To that day, therefore, we must look forward for an authoritative statement of the policy of the new administration, and such revelations of the efforts made to form a ministry on a wider basis as Lord Derby may be at liberty to make. According to the Bout(' the Marqu l s of Abercorn has accepted the Loral-Lieutenancy, and Lord Naas, the Irish Secretary, will be in the cabinet. Mr. Whiteside will succeed to the Chief Justiceship of Ireland, to be vacated by Chief Justice Lefroy, and in all probability Mr. Brewster will be Lord Chancellor. Mr. Patton will be Lord Advocate. Mr. Henley, it is said, will not take office, and. Sir Hubert Peel's name is mentioned in connection with the Duchy of Lancaster. The Earl of Bradford will ba Lord Chamberlain. The office of Steward has been offered to the Duke of Marlborough ; Lord Burghley will. be Comptroller of the Household. Sir John Hay All be First Naval Lord of the Admiralty ; and Mr. Earle wall be the Civil Lord ; Lord Longford Under-Secretaif for War. The PostmastenGeneral will not be in the cabinet. The Times accepts this ministry as an interregnum af fording the best oppoi tunity of reconstructing a liberal cabinet, and is thankful that it presents in itself an ap pearance so thoroughly respectable. Running over the various names with their qualifications, the Times remarks that Sir S. Northcote may find in his office at the Board of Trade come things to be done in the way of railway legis lation which Mr. Milner Gibson never suffered to ruffle his composure, and that the appointment of Lord Stanley to the Foreign Office must prove satisfactory to all except those who advocate a generous sympathy and encourage ment of popular movements wherever and however they may be occasioned. Seven or eight months in about as many years—such, exclaims the Diriiy News, is the modest moral span of a conservative government's existence in the present un believing age. Hard indeed must be the heart of the liberal who can regard these periodical lapses of power with any other feeling than that of an indulgent, and even sympathetic, curiosity. A shyness which seems to be creeping over the party is leading them to adopt the term constitutionalists—a cloak than which nothing can be fitter to cover a party who are afraid or ashamed of nothing so much :is of being taken for what they were and are. Animated by the lively sense of the shortness of life the constitutional party are reported to be already medi tating a batch of peers, and before next February the mouths of Lord Derby's followers will he well filled. Nor is this an unimportant advantage of the occasional transfer of official responsibilities and emoluments. It is no small benefit to the country that Lord Cranborne should be re duced to solemn silence, and if the minor enthusiasts of the party whom a contemporary has named for subordinate posts . can be safely disposed of we shall be the last to complain. In meeting their constituents the new ministers can hardly escape the necessity of some distinct promise of future action. At all events before the prorogation they will have to state their views and intentions with respect to parliamentary reform, and the course they intend to pursue. In February next they must be ready with the results of a commission embodied in a bill, or with a bill pure and simple, or with reasons for no bill. For Mr. Gladstone to fancy, the Post thinks, that he can pursue a high-handed policy by the force of meetings and ovations is preposterous. No victory can be obtained by these agencies, and the demonstrations which he encou rages, and receives as the calm. serious, orderly, and tem perate expression of opinion, plainly demopstrate the dan ger of placing political power, the interesis of a great em pire, and the liberties of a free people under the feet of an uninstructed multitude, masses swayed by demagogues, and mobs organised for the purposes of intimidation. If the Herald were to forecast Mr. Gladstone's future political career from the letter he has addressed to Mr. Potter, it would assume that he means to come forward in the House of Commons, and in the town, music, and tem perance halls of South Lancashire, as the unmitigated demagogue. The sweet voices of the unenfranchised have intoxicated hien with the disease 1 taste of one debauched by coarse and fiery spirits. The Telegraph remembers that in 1859, eight days were ADVICE TO soma TOMBS& The stream of tourist* to Germany and Italy having been intercepted by the war, and even Switzerland being sufficiently near it to disturb that sensitive being, the average tourist, the Times expecte that not a few people will be perplexed as to what they shall do for their customary summer excursion. For this clan the Times has • suggestion. Ireland supplies a complete substitute for the regular con tinental trip. It involves crossing a channel ; it brings an Englishman amongst a new people, in many respects the most charming of noes to a casual visitor. Antiquities are abundant, and there are old historic towns full of memorable associations. If the visitor loves scenery, be it grand, or picturesque, or quiet and homely—there is no kind of charm which he may not find in Ireland. It is scarcely inferior in picturesque beauty to the moat favourite resorts of travellers ; it displays an almost inexhaustible variety of surface ; its coast scenery is unsurpassed, it is full of abounding rivers and lakes; and its mountains, if lees grand than those of Wales and Scotland, present peculiar and unequalled beauties. Nor need the visitor be deterred by fear of want of accommo dation. In many places of the greatest resort well kept and well built hotel, are to be found. Let us add that nothing could be more opportune than such an influx of English visitors during the present year. Last year even the usual slender stream of tourists was checked by the prelintinazi murmurings of the Fenian conspiracy. The country is now perfectly tranquil, and there is every thing to encourage the confidence of travellers. So we hope that for this year, at all evepta, Ireland may profit by a continental war ; and if our readers should be tempted for once to make the experiment, we should not be err prised if it proved the initiation of a new and natural source of prosperity to that hitherto neglected country.
