" The proposed mediation of the Emperor of tile FRENCH is for the prese.nt, at least, at an end," so. say s the official journal of Vienna, and the intelli ge mee will be received with general regret, for mu:, b. had been expected from the sagacity of that motuarch ; but, as the Presse observes, " Austria must 1-tence forth trust to her own strength and resources . She is resolved not to hesitate before the most st.enuous exertions, in order to maintain her position as a great European Power." It is, indeed, J..eplorable that nothing better can be done than to reaort again to war, and. the more so, because under the circum stances it d oes no t seem probable that t he Prussians -sis ill be defeated. Hitherto the most ex traordinarysuccess has attended their troops, and N ictory h as smiled on their career in all directions. The last news is that a conflict took place on Satur daybetweenthePrussiansandFederalsnearAsachaf_ tenburg, which resulted in the complete success of the former. The Federal troops have left Frank fort, and the Diet has removed to Augsburg. llere again is another grea t advantage for the Prussian,. , and it is further stated that they have now occu.- pied Brunn. The truth is that there is I , no sustained power in the Germans : they do riot seem to make any stand against the ens may, and defend no cities or posts of im por lance. Here we find them evacuating one Ila ee after another, and thus the Prussians are having; the game all to themselves, and will shortly be in poi;_ session of the chief positions. It is now declarell that they are pushing on towards Vienna, and that they will reach there in a day or two. It is, of course, doubtful whether the Emperor of AUSTLIA will risk the hazard of another battle in the imm, B diate vicinity of the capital, but all this wi 11 depend on :circumstances and the chances an d changes of the war. It will add materially to the dismay and consternation prevalent at Vienna that the failure of the plan for the cessi on of Venetia to France has prevented the army or temporary a gain, they may be able to make terms not wholly disadvantageous to themselves; but if, as appears only too probable, the contrary should take place, then we should see the Emperor NAPO LEON compelled to come to a decision. He will either be forced to resort to " armed mediation," or he must rest satisfied with a state of things most adverse to his interests and most inimical to the cause of that policy which he has hitherto carried on so successfully for 14 years. We do not believe that the EMPEROR will allow Prussia to assume the position which some are so hastily assigning to her, and if the game be played out by the Germans, so that the King of PRUSSIA is to be at head of an immense empire, we shall see that France has a word to say as to her share of the bargain. The balance of Power in Europe will be so materially affected by this arrangement of Prussia that it is not surprising that Russia should be disturbed in its equanimity. The _Moscow Gazette affirms that Russia does not desire any change in the present state of things in Europe. This is tantamount to a declaration against the course of policy now being pusued in Prussia, because that certainly will, if carried out greatly alter the " state of things." It is also most signi ficantly added that the " supremacy of Prussia in Northern Germany menaces Russia in the Baltic." Even if he should march into Vienna at the head of a victorious army, the King of PRUSSIA may find out to his cost that a triumph may be bought too dearly and that it is not all gold that glitters. If Russia and France remonstrate against the inordinate demands he is making, and declare that his encroachments upon Austrian territory, and his swamping of the minor States, make him of too much power and consequence, what answer will he make ? He can hardly afford to treat them with contempt, either real or apparent ; neither will he be willing to set them at open defiance. Ile may take a middle course, and yield up a portion of his ill-gotten gains, and we trust that he will do so, for a general war is a deplorable calamity . , and its evils cannot possibly be overrated. Th ere are, however, occa sions in the history of nations when it cannot be prevented; and unless by skilful management France and Russia continue to lessent he pretensions of Prus sia, we do not see how the calamity can be avoided, ;mil if this crencration do not see it the next will with tenfold violence and increased horrors. It is against reason to suppose that such a state of things as Prussia would bring about can possibly go on without occasioning seriours evils, and the strife and misunderstandings that will inevitably arise will bear bitter fruits to all concerned. The present aspect of a? airs is indeed disas trous, and so far from the lapse of time bring ing about a change for the better each day seems to add to the complication of things and to increase doubts and perplexities. Who can be said to be altogether exempt from the direful in fluences of this sanguinary and most un necessary war. Its consequences are speading, and, like the whirlpool, drawing all far and near into its fP.tal gulf. It is indeed a lamentable sight for the 'nineteenth century to witness, and one that may •sell moderate the boasts of the disciples of prorotress. The interval of Parliamentary inaction produced by the absence of the new Ministers from their places in the Commons has been enlivened by plenty of political addresses. During the whole of last week the elections were going on, so that one or other of the candidates was continually holding forth on the various topics of the war, Parliamentary Reform, and domestic legislation, which are just now engrossing the attention of the political world. The last day of the week was very fully occupied, Sir S. .NORTHCOTE, Lord BURLEIGH, Lord J. MANNERS, and Mr. CAVE all regaining their seats without difficulty, and in most cases without any opposition whatever. The new First Commissioner of Woods and Forests has unfortu nately been attacked by serious illness, and was, therefore, unable to address his Leicestershire con stituents. No doubt if he had been present he would have pledged himself to do all in the power of his office to preserve the public parks for the enjoy ment and recreation of the people in the east as well as in the west of the metropolis, and we hope he will turn his attention without loss of time to the really pressing question of the preservation of our heaths and commons from the en croachments of the builder, the railway con tractor, and other dangerous innovators. By so doing he will be conferring a great boon upon the working classes of the community, whose inte rests in all matters of health and recreation he has always shown himself anxious to defend. The speech of the day was decidedly that of the new President of the Board of Trade, whose liberal and enlightened views on our commercial policy qualify him admirably for his post. After going over the old ground of the Reform Bill, and de claring himself to be favourable to the admission of a great portion o the working classes to tfie franchise, Sir STAFFORD NORTIICOTE came to the consideration of our foreign and finan cial policy. Speaking of the former he supported the views of his leaders, and de clared himself favourable to a policy of peace and non-intervention with regard to -continental questions. " We must remember," he said, " that we are not infallible, and that we are not the tutors and lecturers of other nations. We know what suits ourselves, but we are not necessarily the best judges of what may suit other nations." On this head there was not much new to be said, and Sir m t el STAF FORD NORTHCOT E soon passe d on t o t o pi c s languagem hi o is reim e immediately on concerning ssubjeet his own department. reassuring to th e commercial winillterbeest Y thi gratifying y e i ng denied an d in the strongest terms that a change of Government gave any indication of a retrogressive or restrictive policy. If that could be supposed to be the inten tion of the Cabinet, he wo old no', himself have together. The Belfast election, which took place on Friday, gave the constituency an opportunity of hearing an address from their eloquent and able representative, Sir HUGH CAIRNS. The right hon. gentleman paid a high compliment to the good citizens of Belfast, and felicitated them upon the growing wealth and importance of their city. Looking at their crowded harbour and their thriving manufactories, he more especially congratulated them on our pacific foreign relations. In reference to domestic troubles, he rejoiced at the entire collapse of Fenianism on both sides of the Atlantic, and expressed his conviction, in which all impartial observers must coincide, that the future prosperity of Ireland must not be based on any attempt to create disorder and commotion, but on the cultivation of harmony and goodwill be tween all parties and by a faithful observance of the laws. There is much to be done, no doubt, for the relief and improvement of the sister country, and the present Administration will not, we hope, neglect their opportunity. The admission of the Secretary for Ireland (Lord NAAs) into the Cabinet gives reason to believe that they are not inclined to under rate its importance. Sir HCGII CAIRNS, in speak ing of the storms which have shaken the financial world, expressed his gratification at the manner in which Belfast had stood out the tempest, and gave utterance to the hope that before many years had itul ,, qt - r3r and energy which have enriched that neighbourhood may extend to other and less fortunate parts of the country. ____----..._---------_. the south from proceeding to the capital, where they would have been made most available for its de fence. If the large n umbers of troops - who were in Italy could have been brought to the support of their Sovereign, no doubt a different result might have occurred ; but so far as we can see the only way to stem the tide of Prussian invasion will be to make terms with the conquerors, which are cer tain, under the circumstances, to be most disad- vantageous ones. It is most unfortunate that the plan of the Ear- PEROR should have failed, and in a great measure the responsibility of the loss and suffering that may ensue during the remainder of the war will rest with the Italians, who, by their contumacious conduct, have been such dire obstacles in the way of settlement. If we are put implicit faith in the assertions of the Alloniteur, the most perfect understanding subsists between the Emperor of the FRENCH and the King of PRUSSIA, and that the delays in the negotiations are in consequence of the length of time which is required for the convey ance of proposals. This may answer the purpose of the moment, but it must be evident to all who study the state of affairs, that nothing can be judged de cisively until we see the result of the contest about to be renewed. If the Austrians gain ever so trifling 77 Joined it, having been educated in the school of Liberal commercial and financial principles, which has always been a firm and consistent advocate. Twenty-four years have elapsed since Sir STAFFORD NoRTHCbTE entered public life in a subordinate office, at the office of which he is now the head, and over which Mr. GLADSTONE then presided under the administration of Sir It. PEEL, During those years what marvellous changes have been wrought changes due in a great mea sure to the more enlightened and liberal policy since followed. Well may Sir STAFFORD NORTHCOTE say that when he looks back to the statistics of that period he is astounded. " When I was first at the Board of Trade the amount of tonnage actually engaged in our com merce was 9,000,000, it is now 29,000,000. Railway communication in this country then extended over eighteen hundred miles ; now it extends over 12,800 miles. If you take these in combination with other statistics you will be con vinced that the industry of the country is grow ing with the strength of a giant, and to talk of restriction would be childish." It is the office of his department to develope rather than to restrict this ever-expanding industry, and Sir STAFFORD NORTHCOTE appears to be fully sensible of the extent and importance of his duties. The development of our railway system, the promotion of mercantile enterprise, the amalgamation of the law regulating the commercial laws of different nations, the extension of our commerce itself in new directions, the enlargement of our mercantile marine and the maintenance of the supply of sea men, are all matters belonging to the consideration of the Board of Trade. To these Sir S. NORTHCOTE adds three very important tasks, which are as yet in their infancy. We have, he says, to consider the importance of rendering our rivers more navigable, our fisheries more productive, and our agricultural statistics more complete. Much will be learned when this latter undertaking is fully carried out, and no body is more interested in the compilation of such statistics than the agri culturists themselves. Fortunately, as the new President remarked on Saturday, these tasks, however arduous, are beyond the influence of party feeling, and belong to those questions upon which men of all opinions can honestly agree and work THE SUN, LONDON, MONDA tor of Infantry for 35 years. The corps placed LATEST INTELLIGENCE. under his orders are estimated at sixt y thousand men, and this number ma y be (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) increased by 22,000 men by calling into activity the first reserves of the Landwehr. The Prussians ad vance in three corps by the railway which leads to Vienna across Moravia. This movement proceeds slowly, and hitherto without resistance. The second corps has reached Znaim. The third corps has taken possession of the railway of Bcenisch Trubau, to wards Olmutz, driving before it the Austrian troops who had formed at Landleva. The occupation of the line of Olmutz covers the flank of the principal army on the march, and protects it from any offen sive demonstrations which the Austrians might make towards the north-cast of Moravia. The Prussians restrict their operations near Frankfort-on-the- Maine. The Prussians seen to desire to occupy the passages of the Maine and the railway which leads to Frankfort. They occupy offensive positions towards the mouths of the river in the Rhine. The business at the Bourse yesterday was limited, and the tendency rather to advance. The Rentes closed at 68f. 60c., the Italian at 59f. 90c. The Credit Foncier rose 10f. Other Securities main tained their value. In the report read to the Senate by the Pre sident, M. Troplong, in support of the Senatus- Consulte, he made some remarks worth notice respecting the English Constitution. " They talk a great deal about England," he said. " Let us imitate her in her respect for fundamental laws. After more than 30 years of status quo, she now hesitates to agree to an electoral reform, tending to give rights to a few thousand citizens. And shall we be persuaded to change, after 15 years, our Constitution of 1852, that compound of grandeur, glory, and progress, for other constitutions, buried under ruins, which have disappointed the ex pectations of the country." M. Troplong, after further defending the proposal, concluded by saying that what the Government now asked was an act useful in some of its parts, necessary in others, and demanded, above all, by the public interest as re garded the Constitution. It was not an edifice upon sand which the Emperor had raised ; and when his son came to rule over that nation, proud of the acts of a powerful reign, he could recollect with confi dence the article of the Constitution, which says, " The Emperor can always make an appeal to the French people." (Prolonged applause.) The most splendid file ever organised in France will be that about to take place in Lorraine, in com memoration of the union of that province with France. The Emperor, Empress, and the young Prince Imperial will be present. A French historian says that there is nothing so dramatic in history as the incidents connected with the career of Charles the Fourth and the course of the dis appointed love of Charles the Fifth and Eleo nora, sister of the Emperor Leopold, the course of true love which, we are told, " never does run smoothly," ran, in the case of El6onore, most tor tuously and slowly. In the first instance a Pole, Michael Koributh, carried away both the lover's crown and his lady. Koributh soon died, and again did a Pole, the illustrious Jean Sobieski, wed the Queen El6onore, much against her wish, but influence, which she could not con tradict, compelled her again to disappoint the Duke de Lorraine. He returned to the war, but soon true love had its reward. The second hus band died; and of ter his campaign on the Rhine, the Emperor authorised the lover's marriage with Ehionore. The happiness of the union, however, was soon interrupted. El6onore's husband died, and Louis IV. said he had lost the greatest, wisest, and most generous of his enemies. It was this feeling which induced him to restore Lorraine to the son, which was the fruit of Charles's mar riage with Eleonore. This resolution was confirmed by the treaty of Ryswick, which restored his estates to the young Duke Leopold, and gave him for his wife, Elizabeth Charlotte of Orleans, niece of the King Leopold's son. Francis succeeded him, but after his marriage with Marie Therese of Austria, a marriage which called him to the throne, be ceded Lorraine to France. The King Louis XV. then gave a life-interest in the Sovereignty to his father-in-law, Stanislas Lecziuski, whom Charle3 mane mus of Poland. A melancholy end was that of Stanislas. He became blind and impotent, and was accidentally burnt to death. His clothes caught fire, and an old woman who tried to save him also perished from the flames. " Who would have thought," said the old King as he expired, " that at our age we should both be burned by the same fire? " The last King of Lorraine was 88. He died on the 23d of February, 1766. The next day M. de la Galaiziere, Intendant of Lorraine and Chancellor, took possession of the Duchy of Lorraine, now for a century united to France. The province has given birth to many illustrious men, warriors and artists, h ono ured by the mother country. There is yet ano ther pathetic record regarding Eleonore. She was the daughter of Duke Francais de Lorraine, afterwards Emperor of Austria, and of Marie Therese, the unfortunate Queen who perished on the scaffold during the revolution of 1793. The fete will commence to-day at Nancy, chief town of the departMent of La Meurthe, a town of about 50,000 inhabitants, celebrated for its embroidery. Prince Achille Murat has bought Cesar (formerly Grandtowne), and B. Mitchell will put it into a course of training at Maisons-Laffitte.

Manifesto of the Emperor of Austria to t: Hungarians. PESTIT, July 10. The following Royal Manifesto has just been issued here : " To THE FAITHFUL PEOPLES OF MY KINGDOM OF HUNGARY. " The hand of Providence weighs heavily upon us. In the conflict, into which I have been drawn, not voluntarily, but through the force of circum stances, everyhuman calculation hasbeen frustrated, save only the confidence I placed in the heroic bravery of my valiant army. The more grievous are the the heavy losse.s by which the ranks of those brave men have been smitten, and my paternal heart feels the bitterness of that grief with all the families affected. To put an end to the unequal contest— to gain tune and opportun it y to fill up the voids occasioned by the campaign—and to concentrate my forces against the hostile troops occupying the northern portion of my empire, I have consented, with great sacrifices, to negotiations for the conclu sion of an armistice. " I now turn confidently to the faithful peoples of my kingdom of llungary, and to that readiness to make sacrifices so repeatedly displayed in arduous times. " The united exertions o f my entire empire must be set in motion, t h a t the conclusion of the wished for peace may be secured upon fair conditions. "It is my profound belief that the warlike sons of Hungary, actuated by the feeling of hereditary fidelity, will voluntarily ha sten under my banners, to the assistance of their kindred and for the protec tion of their country, also immediately threatened by the events of the war. "Rally, therefore, in force, to the defence of the invaded empire ! Be worthy sons of your valiant forefathers, whose heroic deeds gained never-fading wreaths of laurel for the glory of the Hungarian name. " FRANCIS JOSEPH. " Vienna, July 7."

THE GOVERNMENT AND THE BIRMINGHAM GUN TRADE.—it is already known that some time ago orders I were given to convert 20,000 Enfield rifles into breech • loaders, on the Snider principle, and before Lord Harting ton quitted office this number was increased to 40,000, the Government factory at Enfield undertaking to do the whole of the work. General Peel's first act on becoming Secre tary for War was to order 60,000 additional rifles to be "converted," thus bringing up the total number to 100,000. General Peel, however, has gone a step beyond hif predecessor, and has resolved to employ the private trade as well as the Government factory. In accordance with this resolution, General Peel sent for Mr. J. D. Goodman, the chairman of the Birmingham Small Arms Company, and the result of the interview was that the full resources of the Small Arms Factory at Small Heath, were I placed at the disposal of the Government—the company undertaking to confine itself to the work of converting Enfields into breech-loaders. There is little doubt that, by the united efforts of the Government factory and the Birmingham Small Arms Company at least 150,000 breech loaders of a superior character may be put into the hands of the army by next spring The reason for selecting the Small Arms Company for this important undertaking is, that Enfield and the Birmingham fac tory are the only places which possess machinery capable of making interchangeable arms on a large scale ; and, by the arrangement just concluded, the English Government will reap the exclusive benefit of all the ma chinoy in the country. It should be added that the order already given is by no means the limit of the work which will fall to the share of the Birmingham makers, as 'it is in contemplation to carry on the improvement of our armaments until the muzzle loader has entirely disappeared from the British service. While provision is thus being made fur the immediate necessities of the service, General Peel is not losing sight of the necessity of obtaining the best possible arm for ultimate uso. It is not, we believe, intended to make new guns on the Snider principle ; but merely to convert the Enfolds already in store. Before deciding upon the pattern of anew breech-loader, care will bo taken to examine all reasonable inventions which may be submitted to the Government ; and we hear that in a short time a circular will be issued, inviting the offer of new breech-loaders for examination, in order that the Government may have the widest available field for se lection.—Birmiaghain Daily Post. THE ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.—We understand that at the scientific meeting of the fellows of the Royal Horticultural Society to be held on Tuesday next at three o'clock, M. du Chaillu, the celebrated traveller, t will deliver a lecture on " The Orchids of Africa." Some remarks on the Grammatophyllum Ellisii will also bo made by Mr. James Bateman, F.R.S. A YOUNG SHOPLIFTER.—Sarah Smith, 13, was brough . before Mr. Paget, charged with stealing a pair of trousers from the shop of Mr. Freeman, of High-street, Poplar, and also with stealing -various articles, the property of other persons unknown. The prisoner entered the shop of Mr. Freeman on Satur day afternoon and purchased a necktie for ls. Directly after the prisoner had left, a pair of new trousers, valued at 14s. 6d., were missed. John Redford, the prosecutor's shopman, immediately went after the prisoner, and over took her walking very rapidly along the street, and with a basket in her hand. The trousers were squeezed very tightly into the basket. Tho other things were under neath, and the basket was quite full and closely packed. Robert Smith, 76 K, was of opinion that the prisoner was a regular shop lifter, and that the property was stolen from various drapers. He asked for a remand, that he might make inquiries about the prisoner. Mr. Paget remanded the prisoner for a week. A TOLL DISPUTE IN THE MILE Exn-ROAD.---Joseph Per ceval, a shopkeeper in the Hackney-load, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with refusing to pay toll to a collector named George Sage, and with assaulting him. The collector was stationed at the Globe-road turnpike gate in the Mile End road, on Saturday night, at a few minutes past eight o'clock. The prisoner came up to the gate in a gig to which a pony NV:IS attached before, and a pony loose behind. The prisoner was accompanied by a friend, and he would not produce a ticket when demanded. Ho went to a publichouso whore he remained some time, and then produced a ticket for one pony. The toll col lector demanded three halfpence more foe the loose pony behind. The prisoner would not pay it, and the complainant distrained his whip. The prisoner attempted to regain possession of the whip, a violent struggle took place, and it was alleged that the toll-collector was violently assaulted. Ho received a black eye and other bruises. The police interfered, and the turnpike man charged the prisoner with refusing to pay the legal toll, and assaulting him. tho prisoner charged the collector with stealing his whip. Tho defendant's head and face were bruised, and it was alleged that he received those injuries in a previous squabble in a public-house in Bow. Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, asked for a remand to bring forward several witnesses who would prove Sage was the aggressor, and that all the prisoner did was to endeavour to regain possession of his whip, which he thought the toll collector had no right to distrain. He called Henry Hart, who said the turnpike man struck the prisoner. Mr. Paget said on the unshaken testimony of the com plainant, and the evidence of others, it appeared that the prisoner had refused to produce his ticket, and went to a public-house where he remained 10 minutes, and on his return attempted to defraud the complainant. The priso ner was asked for his address, and he gave a false one, Hackney road only, which contained 500 houses. _ _ _ . Mr. Charles Young pressed for a remand, and said the witnesses for the prisoner could attend for him without summonses. Mr. Paget granted the summonses and remanded the prisoner until to-morrow. Ho refused to take bail. The magistrate also directed that a police-constable, who knew of the affair at Bow when the prisoner was injured, should also attend. The prisoner, who is a noted betting man, was then re manded to prison. Considerable excitement was created at Portland on Wednesday in consequence of the capture by Her Majesty's ship Caledonia of the Chilian steamer Greatham Hall, having on board nearly 300 men who had been secretly enlisted for the purpose of manning a war vessel for the Chilian Government. From the statement of 12 men who escaped from the Greatham Hall on discovering the nature of the engagement into which they had been trapanned by false representations, it appears that they were offered tempting wages to proceed on a voyage toi Callao, and that on accepting the terms they were despatched to Thames Haven by rail and then put on board a tug, in which they were conveyed to a steamer lying near the Tongue lightship. Upon going on board the Greatham Hall they discovered that three other tugs were engaged in bringing men from various points, that the steamer was fitted uP as a troopship, and that a mixed crew of more than 200 was on board, the greatest disorder prevailing- About 50 of the men belonged to our naval coast volunteers, and on their suspicions being aroused they refused to proceed, the 12 men above alluded to escaping in a boat after a desperate resistance, and reaching Margate about 9 p.m. In the meantime the Greatham Hall had steamed off, and telegrams were despatched to all the various stations on this coast to be on the look out. Admiral Yelverton , who was on board the flagship Caledonia, then lying in Portland Roads, received the message late in the evening, and the officers and crew were illy" mediately called on board, and preparations wer e made for the chase of the suspicious steamer. Be" tween 12 and 1 o'clock on Wednesday morning th e stranger was sighted, and a rocket was fired after her, but this was answered only by a man-of-WO rocket as an evasion of the maritime regulations' The Caledonia then signalled by lights, and the fo reigner attempted to escape by extinguishing bet own, but as daylight was approaching the sup erior speed of the English vessel soon brought her within range, and at the sixth shot across her bows the ~ Greatham Hall surrendered. When boarded it W3 ' found that the funnels were over-heated, plainli t showing that it, was the master's intention to get (;)ti of the Channel if possible, and that the mixed er e " , had been induced under false representations to el l ; list under the Chilian Government. Later ill the day the Caledonia steamed into Portland I te3 with her prize, and a strong guard was placed ,0 board, while messengers were sent for instructi el ; On Thursday the owner of the vessel arrived fr e of London, and statements were taken on the par t he the Government to ascertain whether, ill t opinion of the Crown advisers, there is sufliel e o l '; to warrant further detention. On Friday al 3r e l., quantity of coals was shipped on board the sten ul 4 and rumours were afloat that she would put to S' to-day, CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Sunday Evening. There being no real news about the armistice, the Paris papers each day resort to the most con tradictory fabrications upon the subject. The Moniteur has directed its attention to the matter, and remarks upon the absurdity of pretending to give accounts of what has taken place with the Em peror and in the cabinet of the Minister of Foreign Affairs. It also hints to certain journals that they are liable to be punished for these inventions, which have a very injurious effect. here is the actual po sition, according to the illoniteur of last evening : " We should remark that it is only nine days since the mediation was proposed, that the discus sions which it necessitates cannot be entirely com municated by telegraph, and that it requires throe days and three nights for a courier from Paris to reach the head-quarters of the King of Prussia. All that we can say is, that the negotiations proceed, and that the best relations have not ceased to exist between the Emperor Napoleon and the King of Prussia." A Cabinet Council was held early yesterday morning at the Tuileries, at which the Emperor pre sided. In the course of the morning the Empress and the Imperial Prince left Paris. The Moniteur contradicts the report, freely cir culated in Paris, that the cholera had broken out at Lille. The sanitary state of that town is very satis factory. That paper also confirms, almost in my words, the devices resorted to in order to supply the rage for news. It says—" Public opinion, im patient to know the progress of the mgotiations on the subject of the mediation between thebelligerents, seeks for news everywhere, and thus compels, as it were, the journalist to fabricate it at their taste to satisfy the general curiosity." In short, little if any reliance is to be placed upon the news of the evening papers. Before the time for their publication crowds collect around the stations where they are sold. People will have them for fighting, love or money. They read their startling and mendacious reports with greed and avidity on one day, and devour the contradic tion next day with equal pleasure and satisfaction. I have closely watched the evening papers for the last three weeks or so, and though I cannot say they have been " all barren," I can assure you that their attractive metal of the Monday proves to be dross on the Tuesday. Marshal Benedek was a great card last week. All Paris has been in tears because they were informed that the Marshal's de feat induced him to blow out his brains, and I be lieve they are now almost as sorry at learning that his brains are intact. The greatest secrecy is observed regarding the manufacture of weapons of war. None but work men are allowed to enter the manufactories ; and if secrecy be not enjoined as to the operations, it is kept. In addition to the new description of guns spv-Iken of a la six coups are in course of construc tion. Six discharges are made at the same instant cf f or , nidable projectiles. I have not seen the cannon, but Z heard the firing. The operatio.ns now in progress on the part of the Prussians have fot . chief object the passage of the in which Vienna r attack is with valley of the Danube, Their determination ,to make their energy is confirmed by .the fact that the 10th corps d'arniee, which had held Saxony, has received orders to join the mass of tro ops on march in Moravia.

The ilioniteur of this morning states that in the engagement at Aschaftenburg the troops of Hesse Darmstadt were compelled to retreat. The Prussians are marching upon Darmstadt. The Grand Duke has left for Munich, The Cons'titationc/ publishes an article blaming certain journals for seeking to induce the French Government to acquire territorial enlargement in order to balance the increase of territory obtained by Prussia: --" What," adds the Constitutionnel, "do these journals know of the future state of Ger many or of the intentions of Prussia? Instead of endeavouring to comprehend the lofty character of the mediation undertaken by the Emperor, they only seek to put obstacles in the way of its accept ance, and to cause the character of this mediation to be suspected by the public. These are the tactics of a party which intrigues to bring France into war, but the lofty moderation of the Emperor, which has been accepted by the belligerents, and is the greatest possible proof of the Emperor Napoleon's spirit of justice, will follow a course, happen what may, be fitting the dignity, the honour, and the interests of France." TouLoN, July 16. The levy which bad been ordered throughout the whole maritime registry has been countermanded and the arrming of the fleet has been suspended. AUSTRALIA. MELBOURNE, May 26. ( Via Trieste.) Sir Charles Darling sailed for England on the 7th in the Alexandria. A great procession accom panied him upon his embarkation. He declined to accept a sum of £20,000 voted him by the Legis lative Assembly until the Queen's consent had been obtained. General Carey has been sworn in as Governor. The Legislative Council has addressed the Gover nor requesting him to compel the Ministers to col lect the outstanding bonds and customs duties, and adjourned the Appropriated Bill until assured that the duties would be collected. The Governor issued warrants for the recovery of the bonds, and the Ministry have threatened to resign. POLICE IN .---This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A BELGIAN RIFLEMAN ASSAULTED BY A SOLDIER. — Thomas Sefton, a private of the Ist battalion of Scots Fusilier Guards, was charged before Mr. Knox with as saulting M. Louis Wanther, one of the Belgian riflemen on a visit to this country for the purpose of attending the the Wimbledon rifle shooting. The complainant, who is staying at the Golden Cross, said that yesterday, about 10 o'clock, he was walking with a friend in the Haymarket, when the defendant came up to him and said, " Here's one of the Belgian riflemen," and asked them to pay for a glass. They went into a public house close by (Mr. Walker's). They stayed for some time, but getting tired of the defendant they left, but after wards went to another public-house (Mr. Thomson's) at the corner of Jermyn-street, and the defendant and his friend showed each other some money. Amongst the money shown by his friend to the defendant was a Belgian 5-franc piece, and this the defendant took and said he would keep as a souvenir of the Belgians. Ile told the defendant that if he did not give it back he would fetch a policeman, and went out for the purpose, but, not finding one, he re turned to his friend and told him so, when his friend said it was of no consequence, as the defendant had given the coin back. The defendant then kept annoying them, and on telling him to go away he struck him (complainant) a severe blow with his fist on the nose, and then ran away, but was stopped by a constable and taken to the station. In answer to the defendant, complainant said he asked for the money back three or four times. No one touched the defendant. The complainant's friend gave similar evidence. Braizer, 158 C, said the defendant had been drinking, but the complainant was quite sober. The defendant was first charged with robbery, but that charge was not pressed, only that of assault. The Defendant said two persons went to the station on his behalf. Sergeant Dodsworth, who took the charge, said the per sons who attended at the station only spoke on tho de fendant's behalf so far as the charge of robbery was con cerned. They said the defendant assaulted the com plainant. The Defendant said he gave back the coin as soon as he understood it was wanted back. He was pushed about by some foreigners and struck the complainant, but he con sidered he was the injured person. Mr. Knox (to the defendant)—While under the influence of drink you meet a foreigner who has come over to this country about the rifle shooting, and I should have thought that if you behaved decently to any person it would be to a person under such circumstances. He will go home and say that he was assaulted by a drunken soldier in this country. You might have imagined, parhaps, that you had some provocation, but you had no right to commit an assault, and I shall fine you 40s, or a month for assaulting the prosecutor. I teinzTat HER MAJESTY.

DANGEROUS JUVENILE AMUSEMENTS.—HenryIIett, a child nine years of age, was charged with throwing stones on Chelsea-bridge, yesterday, to the imminent danger of persons on the river. Police-constable Hopton, 245 B, said that he was on duty yesterday afternoon at Chelsea new bridge, when he saw the defendant throwing five stones into the river. A boat had just passed under the bridge, but witness could not say whether any one was struck in it. Tho child's mother, a respectable-looking woman, said ho was very harmless, and had only loft Sunday school. She thought the constable must be wrong in supposing he was doing it on purpose. The constable said that the little boy had two stones in his hand and his pockets full when taken into custody. The Mother—He always picks upshells and all manner of rubbish, and brings home as curiosities. The policeman untied a large parcel of stones and ex• hibited them. Mr. Arnold—lie surely did not mean to take these stones homo as curiosities ? Policeman—He admitted he had thrown ten stones into the river. There are so many on the bridge that lam put there in plain clothes: Some boy had struck a man on the head sharply before this. Mr. Arnold—This is a great nuisanco and creates great danger on the river and on the railway. Young as this offender is, I must fine him 2s. 6d. The mother—lle must go to prison ; I cannot pay it, I am a poor widow without means, but what I earn by my needle. Mr. Arnold—You say you cannot pay ? The mother—l do, positively. Mr. Arnold—l cannot send this child to prison. Take him away and correct him. THE CASE OF MARGARET BAKER.—At the close of the business of the Central Criminal Court, a formal order was made that this unfortunate young woman should be detained in custody until the next session upon the charge of murdering her child. The prisoner, it will be remembered, was tried upon that charge on Wednesday, before the Lord Chief Justice, when the jury, after being locked up a great many hours, were discharged at 12 o'clock at night in consequence of their not being able to agree upon their verdict. It has been stated that only a small portion of the jury were in favour of a conviction for mur der, the majority being of opinion that a verdict of conceal ment of birth would have been sufficient. In consequence of tho jury being discharged, the prisoner will have to undergo the ordeal of another trial at the next sessions of the Central Criminal Court. _ TARDY JUSTICE. —Captain James Rawstorne (1855), an officer who entered the navy so far back as 1806, has been awarded a pension of £lOO per annum for injuries sustained by him while in the execution of his duty in 1843 on the coast of China.
