LATEST INTELLIGENCE. (azurra's TELIGRAMS.) THE WAR. CESSION OF VENETIA BY AUSTRIA. PROPOSED ARMISTICE BETWEEN THE BELLIGERENTS. PARIS, THURSDAY. The Moniteur of this morning makes the fol- lowing announcement : "An important event has just occurred. After having maintained the honour of his arms in Italy, the Emperor of Austria, concurring in the ideas expressed in the Emperor Napoleon's letter of the 11th June to his Minister for Foreign Affairs, cedes Venetia to the French Emperor and accepts his mediation for the con clusion of peace between the belligerents. The Emperor Napoleon hastened to respond to this summons, and immediately communicated with the Kings of Prussia and Italy, in order to obtain an armistice." THE LATE GREAT BATTLE. (OFFICIAL.) PRUSSIAN HEADQUARTERS, HORZITZ, Mali GITSCHIN, JULY 4, EvaNnia. The number of killed and wounded on both aides, in the battle of yesterday, between Konig gratz and Josephstadt, cannot yet be accurately stated. The Prussians have captured up to the present 14,000 unwounded Austrian prisoners and 116 cannon. Field Marshal von Gablenz has just arrived here with a flag of truce. TRAUTENAU, JULY 4, Evzarima. The following details of the battle between the Austrians and Prussians on the 3rd inst. have been received here : The first army, under Prince Frederick Charles, was already engaged unsupported at 8 in the morning, and had a severe struggle with the Aus trians, who were in superior force. The second army, under the command of the Crown Prince, although stationed far from the battle-field, arrived by dint of great exertions at the scene of action in time to take part in the conflict, and directed its attack against the Austrian right wing. This move ment decided the battle in favour of the Prussians. The Austrians withdrew in the direction of Pardubitz. An immense number of prisoners and numerous guns and trophies were captured. The losses sustained by the First Prussian Army were considerable, but those of the Second Army were small considering the brilliant victory achieved. The troops enthusiastically cheered the King and the royal princes commanding the two armies. AUSTRIAN ACCOUNT. VIENNA, JULY 4. Yesterday • battle was fought between Konig gratz and Josephstadt. Up to 2 p.m. the advan tage was on the side of the Austrian; but after that time the enemy began to outflank and drive back the Austrian army. NEGOTIATIONS FOR AN ARMISTICE. PRUSSIAN HEADQUARTERS, HORZITZ, Nesx GITSCHIN, JULY 5. General von Gablenz is negotiating with the Prussian commanders for an armistice. The number of Austrian prisoners is estimated at 20,000. After the close of the battle of the 3rd, the King presented the Crown Prince upon the field with the order Pour to Merite. ITALY. FLORENCE, litTLir 5. The Florence papers of to-day declare that should the Austrian troops evacuate Venetia in order to carry on the war against Prussia, the Italian army will closely pursue them and effect a junction with the Prussian army. Italy, they add, •ill not abandon Prussia either in victory or defeat. The same papers express their belief that the campaign will be immediately resumed and conti nued until the Austrian monarchy be entirely dis membered. A complete understanding is said to exist between the Italian government and the Na tional Hungarian and Croatian parties. A Bavarian army corps has entered ihe Tyrol and is proceeding in the direction of Italy. It is asserted that the Austrians have evacuated all the positions which they lately occupied on the right bank of the Mincio. TORRE MALAMBERTI, Jt'LT 4.

The following correspondence between Kossuth and Baron Ricaaoli is published in the Italia of July 2: Signor Baron,--The war which has just commenced Pea reason to hope that the Hungarian Legion will be 13 011 calle on to march towards the object for which it has been instituted. The legion burns with the desire of Proving on the field of battle its gratitude to Italy and its devotion to the country. Circumstances being favourable to the increase of this Legion, I hope the government will he of opinion that the time has come for its reorganisation with a view of giving it a wider basis. If such should be the intention of the government, I feel it to be my duty to declare to your Excellency that I should be happy to Place whatever influence I may possess amongst my Mo w - countrymen, and all my knowledge of things and Persons, at the disposal of the government. Florence, June 28, 1866. To this Baron Ricasoli replied : air —The Ministry of War having decided on the re organisation of the auxiliary Hungarian Legion on a more ortended basis, accepts the offer of your co-operation, and count upon your submitting to the ministry all the KOSSUTH. suggestions you think useful both with regard to the personnel of this organisation and the application of the principles on which it should be founded. lam per nailed that, thanks to the Diessuted taken by the govern ment of the King, the auxiliary Hungarian Legion will affirm in a more decided manner, under existing circum etancee7fhe national character of its glorious flag.

THE USE OP THE NEEDLE GUN. We read in the Moniteur du Soir :—" Letters from Berlin attribute in great part to the employment of the needle gun (Zandnadelgewehr) the success achieved by the armies of King William. Accord ing to these communications the Austrian bat talions, conforming to the instructions of Marshal Benedek, were to have endeavoured in all these eneoun• ten to attack their adversaries with the bayonet, but they rarely succeeded. The Prussian lines, often disposed In three ranks, as in the time of Frederick the Great, and contrary to the prescriptions of their iodating regulations, allowed them to approach to about 150 yards, the officers preventing the men from firing, and habitually recommending them to stoop down so as to offer a smaller mark to the fire of the enemy. But from the moment that the enemy's forces arrived at that distance, they were received with five or six rounds, fired shot upon shot with the extraordi nary rapidity attainable by the system of breech-loading, and which struck down every time so many men that the attacking party were forced to retire in disorder, not withstanding the heroic example of their officers, of whom the Prussian reports speak most highly. On the rare acre alone when, favoured by the ground, the Austrians have succeeded in creasing bayonets, they have always had the advantage. The checks suffered by the Austrian cavalry must also be principally attributed to the new weapon. The Prussian horse have adopted the tactics of awaiting the charge of the Austrian squadrons, and covering them with a well sustained fire from their needle carbines. They kill thus a great many men and horses, and only put themselves in motion when they see the enemy beginning to hesitate, and so presenting themselves within reach under circumstances naturally unfavourable." LAW INTELLIGENCE. (THIB DAY.) EQUITY COURT. (Before Vice-Chancellor Sir R. T. Hindersley.) ATTORNRY-GINERAL e. VOTBDIUL--POTIWZR V. HULBERT. ' The dispute in this case had reference to a brook or ditch which runs through the village of Pickwick, near Coraham, Wiltshire, and afterwards passes on to lands in the occupation of Mr. Poynder. This ditch had been used as a street drain for • sufficient length of time to establish the right of the public to make use of it in that way, but I in 1862, through the act of au individu a l, an alleged nuisance was created from which Mr. Poynder sought to protect himself by stopping the drain. The consequence of this was that the offensive matter overflowed, causing injury to the inhabitants of the village, and they having first obtained a magistrate's order directing Mr. Poynder to remove the obstruction, came to the court for an injunction to prevent a repetition of the offence. Mr. Poynder, on his part, asked for an injunction to restrain Messrs. Hulbert and Manning, brewers in the village, from draining into the ditch a larger quantity of the brewery waste than was discharged into it from their premises previous to 18.59, the plaintiff alleging that the nuisance to which he was sub facted was mainly owing to the large quantitie s o f putrid ermenting refuse which Messrs. Hulbert had since that date carried into the drain, in consequence of the great in crease of their business. _ The Vice-Chancellor made the injunction in the first case perpetual, with costs against the defendant ; and dismissed the other bill, upon the ground that the plaintiff had failed to establish that the nuisance was owing to the fault of the defendant. Mr. Glace and Mr. J. Pearson were for the Attorney- General, and Mr. Baily for Mr. Poynder. THE POLICE COURTS. (THIS DAY.) MARLBOROUGH STREET. A MADMAN CHARGEDWITEI ASSAULTING AN ACTRESS. Cornelius Vitrify, address and occupation refused, was charged before Mr. Knox with assaulting a young female, named Alice Shell, who was described on the charge-sheet as an actress, of No. 6, Upper Rupert-street. It was with some difficulty that the prisoner was placed in the dock, in consequence of his violence. The complainant said that about 1 o'clock that morn ing she was passing the County Fire Office in Regent street, when the prisoner came up to her and said, " You are a prostitute. you, I'll kill you," and then gave her a violent blow in the face, leaving a mark behind. She then gave the prisoner into custody. In answer to Mr. Knox, the complainant said the pri soner was an entire stranger to her. The prisoner, in a violAt tone, asked the complainant whether she hat ever told a lie. The complainant said she might have done so, but she was not doing so in what she had stated. The prisoner said that he had never told a lie in his life. The complainant said the language made use of by the prisoner was very violent. Police constable Hemming, 94 C, said he found the com plainant with a mark on her face, and she told him the prisoner had struck her. lie asked the prisoner whether he had done so, and be said he had, and that he would do it again. The prisoner (holding up his band in a threatening manner) said he would do what he liked to any person. Mr. Knox asked the prisoner whether he wished to say anything in answer to the charge. The prisoner said he could speak to a gentleman when a gentleman spoke to him. He was sent on earth with a palm branch in one hand and a dove in the other, to im prove mankind and make peace. The complainant struck him and he then struck her. He met brute force by brute force. A telegram sent to him had been stopped by Mr. Gladstone, who, he believed, had the intelligence of the country under his control. If he was a man he wished to be treated like a man. Mr. Knox said he would remand the prisoner that be might be seen by the medical officer of the House of Detention as it was evident the prisoner was mad:. Runs, the gaoler, had sonic difficulty in persuading the prisoner to leave the court with him but at last he did so, addressing the magistrate with the words, "Good morning, sir ; you are as good a man as me any day." On being placed in the cell he again became very violent. LAMBETH. PILFERING/I IN THE CRYSTAL PALACE. Darid Hunstans, • genteel-looking youth of 18, was placed at the bar before the Hon. G. C. Norton, on a charge of stealing a brooch and several other articles from one of the sale standings in the Crystal Palace. James Darling, a special constable at the Crystal Palace, said that on the day before his attention was called to the prisoner and another youth, and, while watching them, he saw the prisoner, while in the Sta tionery Court, take up an Albert watch-chain and crumple it up in his hand. He instantly laid hold of the prisoner, and his companion, who he said was his brother, got away. Inspector Bond came up at the time, and he (wit ness) handed the prisoner over to hini. Mr. Bond said that on the prisoner being searched at the station-house, the brooch, two new knives, a pipe, and other articles, all new, were found on him, and these he said he had purchased. They were, however, identified by the attendants at one of the sale stands, who said they had been stolen within two hours, particularly the brooch. The prisoner gave his address, 3, Bath-place,City road, and worked with his father, who was • tailor. The youth who had been in his company he said was his brother, but he did not live with his father, and he (pri soner) did not know his address. In conclusion the wit ness applied for a remand, to give him time to make the necessary inquiries, and as it was the intention of the company to prosecute, the delay would make no difference. The prisoner was remanded. HUDSON'S BAY COMPANY.-(THIS DAY.) A general court of the shareholders was held at 1 o'clock, at the Hudson's Bay House, Fenchurch•street ; Sir E. HEAD in the chair. Tee report, which had been previously circulated, hav ing been taken as read, The Cli.ttllMAN moved its adoption without making any remarks, the report containing, he observed, all requisite information. _ _ . ..... Mr. Saarsog seconded the motion. Mr. Dunn moved a resolution to the effect that steps should be taken for opening a large portion of the com pany's territory for European colonisation, and that a com mittee should be appointed to carry out the object. There was he said, some di ff erence on that subject, which occu pied fifteen pages of the report, but that was no reason why it should not be discussed. There were three ques tions involved—what was their position in law, what was their position in fact, and what they ought now to do As regarded their legal position, the preamble showed clearly that what was contemplated at the time of the first settlement was the full industrial development of the ter ritory. [The meeting was proceeding when our report left.] ICEBERGS. —The Echunga, Capta in Cooper, ar rived in the river from Otago, New Zealand, reports that in lat. 61 S., long. 97 W. ' she saw about 90 large icebergs, which fopned • complete barricade across the ship's way as far a• the eye could reach from the masthead ; she stood to the N.W. for two days, then tacked and stood to the eastward, and saw no more ice. -- k.

The velocity of Hamill's rowing in sharp, short strokes was surprising, and be came nearly level at Skinner's Barn ; but Kelley held him in hand, and, just as many sup posed the American might have a lead, the Londoner again left him. It would be a waste of space to dwell any longer upon the event. Although Hamill rowed with the most determined courage Kelley quite left him behind, and after the turn, when they had rowed about three miles, Kelley was so far away in front that Hamill gave up th e Me.

Italian of 1861 are in prominent request, and show a rebound of no lees than 81 per cent. The upward movement extends to American securities, banking and financial shares, and foreign railways. Lombardo-Venetian Railway shares are 21. bs. higher than yesterday. The directors of the Bank of England have sepa rated without making any change in the rate of discount.

Consols are now quoted 871 to 4, ex div., fcr money, and 874, ex div., for the accouLt, being 4 to I per cent. worse than at 1 o'clock. Most other securities have also experienced a slight unfavourable reaction, the important rise having brought forward " sellers," as might reasonably have been expected. Italian Bonds of 1801 have been dealt in as high as 57, but are now per cent. lower than when wo last wrote, the pre sent quotation being 53 to 4. No bullion operations have occurred at the Bank. The demand fur money has been quiet. The steamer Hansa, from New York, has brought 158,5001. in specie for England.

Tho minimum price was fixed at Is. 10d. on Cal cutta and Madras, and Is. 10/d. on Bombay. All tenders at and above the minimum will receive in full. These results show a further diminution in the demand for the means of remittance to India. Although government have submitted to a fresh reduction, equal to nearly 2 per cent. in the terms, they have succeeded in selling bills to the amount of only 138,0001. out of a total of 3:10,000t. offered on the present occasion.

Notice is hereby given, that en extraordinay meeting of the shareholders of this bank will he held on Tuesday, the 10th day of July instant, at the London Tavern, at 12 at noon, precisely, to take into consideration the present position of the bank, it having been considered that for the interests of the shareholders and creditors the business should be transferred to a new bank, to be immediately formed, in which each share off 11. in " The General Exchange Bank (Limited)" will be changed to five shares of 11W. each, and credited with 31. per share, rind the recom mendation of the directors for voluntary winding-up the bank, by which means loss to the shareholders will be avoided, and a much earlier payment of the creditors in full ensured. Those members who apply for shares in the new bank will immediately resolve themselves into a meeting of the shareholders of the General Banking Com pany, to elect the directors of that hank. The books of the bank are being examined by Messrs. Johnstone, Cooper, Wintle, and Evans, and their report will be pre sented to the meeting.—By order of the Board, PATRICK WOOD, Secretary. Formal notice is given to creditors of the Joint Stock Discount Company (Limited), that they are required to send the particulars of their claims to Mr. R. P.

The prospectus of the London Stock and Share Company (Limited) is in circulation, with a proposed capital of 100,0001., of which one-half, in 10,000 shares of U. each, is to be issued at first. On these shares 11. is to be paid on application and the remaining 41. on allotment, leaving no further liability. The business of the company as de cribed in the prospectus, is to " consist in negotiat ing, as agents, the sale of stocks, shares, bonds, and securities of all descriptions, through the medium of public auction, or otherwise:" but ad vances are also to be made on marketable securi ties. It is urged that the undertaking is unique, and that there is no reason why the practice of sale by public auction, which is universally adopted in the case of produce and many other descrip tions of property, should not be equally successful with many kinds of public securities, especially those which are not readily marketable. The board is composed as follows :—Mr. Charles Cap per, M.P., chairman, Mr. William Hawse, deputy chairman, Mr. William Cremer, Mr. William A. Langdale, and Mr. Edward M. Meadows.

Tips following is from the monthly trade circular of Biesars. T. J. and T. Powell, dated yesterday : The month of June is usually a dull time in the leather trade, and the prolonged maintenance of the extremely high rate of discount necessarily tends to a further restric tion of business. Still a better feeling has recently pervaded the market, sufficient to show that greater activity would prevail with an easier money market. Very little altera tion has taken place in price. ; with the exceptions of the medium class of English butts and offal, previous quota tions are generally maintained. Th e effect of the conti nental war on our leather market is not easily estimated. At present it has not imparted to it the slightest stimulus, but there is no doubt that the destruction of leather must be enormous, and that should the contest be of long con tinuance, our market must ultimately, directly or indi rectly, feel some of the effects o f th e demand thus pro duced. In raw goods the principal feature is the supply and sales of South American bides. Other goods show very little change in the imports or stocks ; the chief transactions have been at the public sales. at which, so far from the war increasing the inquiry, the absence of export demand was remarkable. Primo have undergone very little variation. At Loadenbail yes terday the business .lone was very limited, although there was an ample supply of almost all articles. Prices were stationary.
