The junction of the two armies under the Crown Prince and the Prince Frederick CHARLES is now looked upon as completely effected. Certainly there is no accounting for the chances of war, but at the same time we must say that Marshal BENEDEK has been very unequal to the occasion, or else that the Government of Vienna must have hampered him with their tardiness until his skill and stratagem seemed alike unavailing. No one in this country has yet been able to comprehend why or wherefore the Prussian forces were suffered to overrun North Germany in the manner which they have done, and it was pointed out by many good j u d g es that the Austrians w ould eventuall y rue their inaction and regret their lost ground. The King of PRUSSIA has now reached Gitschin, and had au opportunity of witnessing a scene such as seldom meets the eye of Monarchs in the present day. Everywhere there were visible signs of the severe struggle which had taken place. The enemy retreated under cover of the night, which was the best thing thing that they could do under the cir cumstances of the case. According to the tele gram that has been sent from the Prussian head-quarters, it would seem that the army is in excellent spirits, and behaved with great gallantry during the arduous encounters which have already fallen to its lot. An immense number of Austrian prisoners have been taken—indeed, their number is said to be over five thousand. Several Austrian regiments were almost annihilated ; and the 18th Jager battalion was destroyed to the last man. From Vienna we learn that Mar shal BENEDEK, for "strategical reasons," has deemed it advisable to take up a position between Josephstadt and Konniggratz. This looks bad, but we trust that he will yet see means to retrieve his losses of position. It is most vexatious to think that, notwithstanding the desperate stand by the Austrians, and the practical advantage which they gained, that such an important place as " Gitschin" should have been taken by the enemy. It will give them immense advantages in the campaign before them, and is altogether one of those events which in spirit one side and dishearten another. An official journal of Vienna states that no further fighting has followed upon the affair of Gitschin, and that there has been no fresh attack made upon Marshal BENEDEK'S position, a proof that the Prussian losses must also have been severe, and that their troops are much exhausted. No doubt this is the truth ; the best possible spirit and most undaunted courage, we are told, prevail in the army, and - " im portant events are expected within the next few days." Perhaps the zeal with which the Prussian force have carried on the war until now may tell against them when they have to go through the ordeal of a pitched battle, which has not yet been their fortune. The battle of Custozza appears to have been the most regular engagement which has taken place yet, and in this the Prussians had no part. So far as we can judge the army of the Aus trians is in the best condition for fighting of the two, and it will be best for the EMPEROR to stake his fortunes on a regular engagement than to trust to skirmishes and petty encounters, for the Prussians seem decidedly to be the smartest and most able in such manoeuvres. No doubt the Austrian troops are longing to distinguish themselves, and their leaders burning to avenge the insults put upon them by their adversaries. At any rate, whether advanta geous or not, it seems pretty certain that a decisive struggle will ere long take place. Until we hear the result of this affair all remarks on the subject must be vague guesses or mere speculation. It will be the work of a day to drive the Prussians from many of their strongholds, which they now consider impregnable, and preserve the treaty that a victorious army cannot achieve in the flush of its success and the eclat of its triumph. With the Italians the Austrians seem to have had the best of it from the beginning. From Peschiera we hear that the Austrian cavalry have driven back the Italian outposts and taken several prisoners ; and that two Austrian gunboats have cannonaded the encampment of Volunteers on the shores of Lake Garda, and the Volunteers dispersed after sustaining severe loss. These, though not not by any means considerable advantages, are nevertheless significant, as showing that the Italians have not had time to recover themselves from the rebuff which they met with at the outset of the affair. The Hungarian Epis copal body have voted two hundred thousand for the relief of the wounded in battle, and three magnates have proposed to raise and equip a corps of volun teer cavalry. The prorogation of the Hungarian Chambers, which has just taken place, is a most ill timed affair, and speaks badly for the EMPEROR. Nothing is said in the Imperial speech that tends to reassure as to the future intentions of the Imperial Government. How much much better it would have been for the Austrians in the present emer gency if they had pursued a more liberal policy to wards the Hungarians; above all, had they given up Venetia, as they were strongly advised to do, their present state would bever t y he mdisfferaelnletr. States ttews of will bode ill for the future fate of the overwhelming if they are to be overwhelming influence of Prussia Austria. by In either cas e , un l es s their policy changes very much monopolised a nd for the better, the present generation will not see the end of the evil effects of this war. cannot be l ong pursued without d ragg i ng vie tims those at first in as Despotts' m quite out of its limits, and for a great part of these mischances our Government has been to blame by constantly upholding Prussia. President JouxsoN-- has sent amessagegress with M r. SEWARD'S report, relative to his to Con -7— transmission of copies of the reconstruction resolu tions to the State Governors for legislati ve ratifi cation. Mr. JOIINSON has taken the opportunity of reminding Cong ress th at there are serious doubts whether the State Legislatures could rightfully be called upon to ratify constitutional amendments passed while eleven States were excluded from re presentation, Mr. JOILISiON 'lever iota an oppor tunit-y of pointing out to his adversaries the uncon stitutional nature of their policy, and is continu ally defeating their-best laid schemes with their own weapons. They do not know what to do with the Southern States, since the public temper will scarcely tolerate even the advocacy of their favourite theory of confiscation and subdivision of the ex- Confederate States ; and, without completely over turning the old constitutional doctrines, they can hardly deny that the exclusion of eleven States from representation render any constitutional amend ment inconsistent and illegal. Mr. JOHNSON thinks it right to explain that Mr. SEWARD'S transmission of the copies was merely in an official form, in no way committing the Executive to the approval of the amendments ; and the PRESIDENT plainly adds his own opinion that no constitutional amendment should be proposed by Congress and pressed upon the Legislatures until the admission of loyal members from the Southern States. If the South refused to send men who would cordially the opportunity ptphoemrtsuenlivteys of w e i r t e , offered ff c accept thethem t Union, hey if refused when to there might be some valid reason or excuse for their persistent exclusion. But to refuse them the chance of sending loyal members, which, judging by their public conduct during the last twelve months, there is no doubt they would do, is so manifestly unfair that no political rancour can excuse it. Surely there has been time enough for the angry feelings on both sides to die away, suffi cient, at least, to allow the old forms and cus toms to be resumed. Until the States are repre sented the Southern people will never feel that confidence and security which is absolutely neces sary to the restoration of commercial prosperity, the encouragement of enterprise, and the satisfac tion of the people. The Legislature has been busy enough of late. The news from Europe has naturally created a good deal of disturbance in financial circles, and the cure for all evils most loudly proposed in Congress and out of it is a strict observance of a protective policy. Happily, the proposed export tax upon cotton has been defeated by the good sense of the majority, but the Americans have still a good deal to learn respecting the doctrines of free trade. The explanation given of the sudden fervent friendship of the Radicals for the Fenians is explained by the suggestion that the STEVENS and SUMNER party imagine that by taking advantage of the Irish feeling against the PRESIDENT they may damage the Democratic cause by the loss of the Irish votes. Anything to serve a temporary purpose or gain a political end seems to be their motto, and their designs are assisted by the fact of their having the majority in Congress, which en ables them to pass such resolutions as flatter the vanity of " our Celtic fellow-citizens." A great mass meeting was to be held in the neighbourhood of Jones Wood under the call of STEPHENS. That worthy, however, has gone considerably out of favour, being denounced in many quarters as a British spy. He in his turn refuses to recognise ROBERTS and SWEENEY as Fenian leaders, and inveighs against the recent invasion of Canada, in which the collapse of the scheme supports him. Mr. PEABODY is as much the centre of observa tion in his native country as he was among us, but he remains firm in rejecting all invitations or en deavours to make a " lion" of him. His letter, re fusing one of these pressing summons, does credit to his kindly feeling both towards America and Eng land, while his consistent refusal to accept any pub lic recognition of his disinterested and magnani mous actions is of itself a lesson to the pretentious benefactors of the present day. The Royal banquet at the Trinity House was especially interesting from several circumstances- The first appearance of our popular Sailor-Prince as Master of the Corporation was an agreeable inci dent in the ordinary routine of anniversary festivals, while the presence of his royal brother was rendered the more welcome from the narrow escape from a serious accident which he had that day encountered. The Duke of EDINBURGH ful filled the duties of president with tact and readiness characteristic of the true British sailor, and the young King of the BELGIANS, who was the principal guest, paid high honours to the Corpora tion of the Trinity House, and the services which it had rendered to commerce and commercial nations. The other guests included Mr. GLADSTONE, Mr. M. GIBSON, and other politicians, and the whole entertainment went off with great éclat. The cordial interest which our young princes take in these venerable associations serves to strengthen the ties existing between the Crown and the people, and confers mutual benefits and strengthens mutual regard. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Monday Evening. The Moniteur has very little news to-day about the war, telegraphic or otherwise, and it is brief in its usual commentary upon the positions and pros pects of the adverse armies. It however repeats its opinion from the facts and circumstances accom plished that a great battle is imminent, and although it does not say so openly, its belief seems to be that Benedek will obtain the mastery over the Prussians. The belief or hope at Berlin, however, is different, for on Friday last an immense crowd, after enthu siastic cheers for the King, went to M. Bismarck's hotel and greeted him with an ovation. The Minister, in answer to the questions put by the crowd, informed them that the capitulation of the Hanoverian army had taken place that very morning. A letter from Brescia states that as the two hos pitals of that town were not sufficiently capicious to receive the wounded, the Cathedral had been thrown into an hospital. The ladies wereindefatig able in their attentions, and sent lint as well as all sorts of comforts for the wounded men. It appears from the latest details published re apecting the Italian army that the corps of General Cialdini had left their position at Ferrara, and was marching towards Cremona. A statement has been made that the Garibaldians who fought against the Austrians in the valley of Bona were supported by the regular troops. This is a mistake. It was the Bessagliers of the permanent army of the 2d batta lion who formed part of the attacking column. It was supposed by some persons here that the close of the Session of the Legislative Body would be marred by some communication on the part of the Government relative to the war, but, as my in formation led you to expect, nothing of the kind took place. The President of the Corps Legislatif, M. Walewski, made a sensible and moderate fare well address, in which he spoke of the remarkable character of the session and the general harmony which had prevailed. There was not, however, a word which could be construed as political in the address. The members of the Opposition whom I mentioned the other day were present, and some hope prevailed among them in the morning that they should be able to elicit some Ministerial ex planation, but 'one of them made au attempt to infringe the desire expressed by the President that no discussion should take place about the war under present circumstances. They, however, asked for some declaration from the Government on the sub ject of the proposed curtailment of the Luxem bourg Gardens. The President of the Council of State gave a formal assurance to the Chamber that no change should be made in the gardens until the Legislative Body should have had an opportunity of expressing its opinion upon the amended pro position of cuttinn , off a portion of them. The question relative to the alleged claim of the THE SUN, LONIJOA, TUESDAY EVENING, JULY 3, 1866, Baron de Bode, which, has often been negatived in the House of Commons, was incidentally discussed, but the only result was an arrangement that it might be again brought forward next year. The claim at issue turns upon an alleged debt due to France on the part of England, existing so long back as the year 1818. The Minister of State said he could not enter into detail upon the matter. The last discussion upon the alleged claim was in 1856. The official despatches and telegrams from Madrid announce that tranquillity has been restored all over the kingdom, but private letters announce that much ferment still prevails in some of the provinces of Catalonia. The Vera Cruz, Capt. Heliard, the first vessel of the new line of the General Transatlantic Company, has just left Havre for New York with 53 cabin passengers and 418 between decks. She is laden with 325 tons of merchandise. Her accommodations are first rate, and great attention has been paid to salubrity. After disembarking her passengers at New York, the Vera Cruz will proceed to Mexico. She will then return to Havre, and make the voyage regularly in her turn between that port and New York. It appears that the end is not yet of the tragical affair on board the Fcederis Area. It was generally supposed that the murderers would be executed forthwith, but it appears that their counsel are again able to obtain the benefit of the " law's de lay." The Council of Revision of Brest has set aside the judgment of the Maritime Tribunal on the ground of incompetency. The grounds on which the decision was given have not yet been made public. The weather to-day has been much the same as that of yesterday—very heavy showers and much cooler temperature. I believe the report is correct that the Duke de Grammont, French Minister at Vienna, has made an official communication to M. de Mensdorff, to the effect that France will perievere in her policy of neutrality with certain " special reserves" as regards Italy. A letter from Milan mentions the probability that the Italian fleet under the command of Admiral Persano will either attack Venice or some other neighbouring port. There is a force of 20,000 men on the borders of the Adriatic, organised and com manded by Menotti Garibaldi, the son of the General. They will no doubt co-operate with the fleet. Ex tensive preparations for defence had been made at Fiume, in the expectation of an attack from the Italian fleet. Although to-day was the day of liquidation at the Bourse, very little business was done and every thing was unusually inactive. Prices were sustained. The Rentes closed at 63f. 75c., and Italian was on the rise 40 30. Securities generally had a tendency to a rise. The 4f per cents. rose 50c. Dr. Johnson's Last Interview with William Windham. In the recently published Diary of the Right Hon. William Windham we find under date 7th of December, 1784 : After waiting some short time in the adjoining room, I was admitted to Dr. Johnson in his bed chamber, where, after placing me next him on the chair, he sitting in his usual place on the east side of the room (and I on the right hand), he put into my hands two small volumes (an edition of the New Testament), as he afterwards told me, saying " .E'xtremum hoc manta morientis habeto." He then proceeded to observe that I was entering upon a life which would lead me deeply into all the busi ness of the world ; that he did not condemn civil employment, but that it was a state of great danger —and that he had therefore one piece of advice ear nestly to impress upon me—that I would set apart every seventh day for the care of my soul ; the one day, the seventh, should be employed in repenting, what was amiss in the six preceding, and for for tifying my virtue for the six to come ; that such a portion of time was surely little enough for the meditation of eternity. He then told me that he had a request to make to me, namely, that I would allow his servant Frankto look up to me as a friend, adviser, and protector in all difficulties which his own weakness and imprudence, or the force or fraud of others might bring him into. He said that he had left him what he considered an ample provi sion, viz., £7O per annum ; but that even that sum might not place him above the want of a protector, and to me therefore he recommended him, as to one who had will, and power, and activity to protect him. Having obtained my assent to this, he pro posed that Frank should be called in, and desiring me to take him by the hand in token of the pro mise, repeated before him the recommendation he had just made of him, and the promise I had given to attend to it. I then took occasion to say how much I felt, what I had long foreseen that I should feel, regret at having spent so little of my life in his company. I stated this as an instance where resolu tions are deferred till the occasions are past. For some time past I had determined that such an occasion of self-reproach should no longer subsist, and had built upon the hope of passing in his society the chief part of my time, at the moment when it was to be apprehended we were about to lose him for ever. I had no difficulty of speaking to him thus of my apprehensions; I could not help, on the other hand, entertaining hopes ; but with these I did not like to trouble him, lest he should conceive that I thought it necessary to flatter bun. He answered hastily that he was sure I would not ; and proceeded to make a compliment to the manliness of my mind, which, whether deserved or not, ought to be remembered that it may be deserved. I then stated that, among other neglects, was the omission of in troducing, of all others, the most important, the co nsequence of which particularly filled my mind at that moment, and on which I had often been desir ous to know his opinions. The subjects I meant were, I said, " natural and revealed religion." The wish thus generally stated was in part gratified on the instant. For revealed religion, he said, there w as such historical evidence as, upon any subject not religious, would have left no doubt. Had the facts recorded in the New Testament been mere civil occurrences, no one would have called in ques tion the testimony by which they are established. But the importance annexed to them, amounting to nothing less than the salvation of mankind, raised a cloud in our minds, and created doubt unknown upon any other subject. Of proofs to be derived from history, one of the most cogent, he seemed to think, was the opinion so well authenticated and so long entertained, of a Deliverer that was to appear about that time. Among the typical representa tions, the sacrifice of the paschal lamb, in which no bone was to be broken, had early struck his mind. For the immediate life and miracles of Christ; such attestation as that of the apostles, who all, except St. John, confirmed th e i r testimony by their blood; such belief as their wit ness p r ocured from a people best furnished with th e means of j u d g i ng , and least disposed to judge f avo u rably; suc h an extension afterwards of that beli e f over all t h e na ti on s of the earth, though originating from a nation of all others the most despised, would the things witnessed were true, an d were of a nature more than h uman. Wi t h res pect to evi - dences, Dr. Johns on o b served, we h a d no such evidence that Caesar died in the Capitol as that Christ died in the manner relleaatveed. n° doubt that On last Saturday evening the 48th Middlesex (llavelock) Rifle Volunteer Corps was inspected by Col.

This corps has a company of cadets about 50 strong, and Colonel Wright also expressed himself much pleased with their appearance and discipline. Altogether the inspection passed off in the most satisfactory manner. The muster roll of this corps is 560 ; 398 were on the ground, the remainder were on leave. THE TEA TRADE, July 2.--The deliveries in London, estimated for the week, were 1,211,5851 b,, which is a decrease of 39,6531 b. compared with the previous statement. Yesterday Mr. J. G. Bateson, a gentlemP,n hold ing a high position in the Liverpool cotton marl - A t, cut his throat while shaving, at his residence at W; Alwey. No cause can be assigued for this sad event. Princess's Theatre. Last evening, Mr. Watts Phillips's new three-act drama, entitled " The Huguenot Captain," was produced at this theatre, with the most unbounded success ; the pleasurable result being all the more gratifying because Mr. Vining has spared neither trouble nor expense in presenting to his patrons a drama of unequalled magnificence, in regard to scenery, dresses, and decoration. In order that nothing might be wanting as far as the resources of his company was concerned, Mr. Vining has made certain special engagements, the most prominent being Mrs. Stirling, Miss Neilson, and a troop of comic dancers (MM. :Flagolet, Clodoche, Comete, and Normande) from the Chatelet, in Paris. In fact nothing that could tend to heighten the beauty orperfect the scenic illusion has been overlooked, and the enthusiastic delight of the entire audie nee must have been as pleasing and gratifying to the talented manager and his clever staff as it was well and thoroughly deserved. That the new drama abounds in striking incidents will be seen from the following outline of the plot :—The Duke Hector, only son of the widowed Duchess d'Armenonville, enters the tavern of the White Cross, in Paris, accompanied by a party of wild court gallants. The duke, who surpasses his companions in dissipation'and insolence, orders the abduction of a poor dancing girl, the Bohemian Juanita, who happens to be present at the time. A sergeant (Annibal Locust) in the duke's employ, attempts to lay hands on the girl, who ap peals to the gentlemen around for protection, but her supplications are received with shouts of de risive laughter. She succeeds, however, in find ing a champion in a man who has appeared to be asleep on a bench. This man is Captain Rene de Pardillan, Count de Brissac, the Huguenot captain, who has arrived incognito in Paris in search of a young lady whose life he had saved but a few weeks before, but of whose name and address he is entirely ignorant. Provoked beyond endurance by the insolence of the young duke, Captain Rene en gages in a quarrel on behalf of the poor gipsy girl, and has the misfortune to kill his adversary, but succeeds in making his escape by jumping into the Seine as the King's guard force the doors, and discover the body of 'the Duke d'Armenonville. Pursued by the soldiers, the Huguenot captain climbs the balcony of a house, and, in his desperation, enters the room. The only occupant of this room is a lady. He tells her his life is in her hands, and, after convincing her of the justness of his quarrel and the imminence of his peril, is sheltered behind the heavy hang ings of the room, she having previously pledged her solemn word not to betray him to his pursuers. The soldiers now enter, having tracked the fugitive thus far, and inform the horrified mother that her son, the Duke d'Armenonville, has just been killed in a tavern brawl. The unhappy duchess still re- members her oath, and, dismissing the soldiers, is once more alone with the man who has killed her son. She tells him to come forth from his hiding place ; but, in doing so, to cover his face so that she may not recognise him again, but swears that if he is not out of Paris ere morning dawns he shall pay the penalty of his crime. Covering his face, Rene de Pardillan is about to leave the room, when he meets, face to face, the young girl who is the object of his visit to Paris. Gabrielle de Savigny, niece to the duchess, recognises her lover, and so un wittingly betrays him. In the next act we find that the captain's fears for his own safety are so subser vient to the stronger feeling of his love for ,Gabrielle that he cannot tear himself away from Paris ; and, disguised as a monk, he seeks an interview with the object of his affections. His disguise, however, is discovered by Sergeant Locust—a price of five hundred crowns having been offered by the king for his arrest. He is taken prisoner, and lodged in the old Chatelet prison. Juanita, however, will not desert her preserver, and, aided by her brother Ismael, enables the captain to escape from the strong hold ; and he lowers himself into the river at the close of Act 2nd. In Act 3rd we find Gabrielle over whelmed with despair at the situation of her lover. The duchess pursues him with an implacable feeling of vengeance. But Captain Rene is not to be daunted. With the aid of his friends, the Bohemians, he once more enters the Chateau d'Armenonville, and tells Gabrielle of his escape, but refuses to depart unless she will accompany him. She refuses to do so. There is a river of blood between them. Driven to frenzy, Gabrielle at last consents to accompany him. At the moment of their flight, however, the duchess confronts them, and once more the life of the Huguenot captain is in her hands. The duchess, torn by conflicting emotions, is at first deaf to the _ __ agonised supplications of Gabrielle, but at last the marble melts, and, throwing a sword at the captain's feet, she tells him to at least " die like a soldier." At this moment Hector d'Armenonville appears. Ambrose Pare, the famous physician, had discovered that life still flickered in the almost inanimate clay; but fearing to raise hopes in the heart of the duchess, he had kept his experiments secret until he could restore her son to her arms. No obstacle now exist ing between the happiness of Gabrielle and himself, the lluguenot captain is at last rewarded with the forgiveness of the duchess, and the hand of her niece. Where all is admirably done, it is rather a diffi cult task to select a point at which to commence a series of compliments ; but, beginning with the actresses, our first pleasurable duty is to warmly welcome Mrs. Stirling on her reappearance on the metropolitan stage, from which she is now-a-days too long absent, especially as she is one of its most distinguished ornaments. Her performance of the part of the Duchesse Jeanne was marked with all that earnestness and pathos that won for her a fame possessed by no other living English actress. At the close of the first portion of the drama her acting was intensely powerful, and if proof of our assertion was wanting, we simply ask, where is the actress who could approach her in the scene in which she learns the death of her son, knowing that she has the life of the man who has caused her such grief within her power, and yet, having regard for her solemn promise, refusing to g ive him up to instant death ? We candidly admit we know of none. Miss Neilson repre sented Gabrielle with so much taste and feeling that we confidently look forward to the time when she will take her place in the very front rank of her profession. Miss Thompson made a very charming Juanita, and sang the music allotted to the part very artistically. To Mr. Vining, for his spirited impersonation of the Huguenot captain, we have to award him as high praise as the actor as we have already done as the manager. There was a reality about the whole of his performance that rivetted the attention of the audience, and in not one of the wonderful escapes he is called upon to make to obtain the hand of Gabrielle was their sympathy absent from him. Mr. George Honey has a part which would " go" a great deal better if a little of the vocalisation were omitted, because the lower notes of a basso prof undi when too often heard become troublesome ; however he acts the character well, and therefore we ought to be satisfied. Mr. Shore has a trifling part in the piece, but it is rendered a very good one on account of the duel in which he has to take part in the first act--both he and Mr. Vining showed themselves to be most accomplished swordsmen. Mr. Seyton, as Ismael the Bohemian, cleverly brought out a very small part, and the re mainder of the characters were well supported. The scenery, by Mr. F. Lloyd and assistants, is beyond all praise—the interior of the White Cross Tavern, the sleeping apartment of the Duchesse Jeanne, a bird's-eye view of Paris by moonlight, from the old Chatelet prison, and the concluding scene of the drama, the great hall illuminated, were perfect triumphs of art. The audience were in raptures, and testified their delight by frequently calling the painter forward to receive their loud applause. The dances were arranged in the most admirable manner, and they too were executed with such spirit that many of them had to be repeated. The dresses were costly and magnificent, the colours brilliant, and the materials chiefly silk, satin, velvet, most exquisitely embroidered with gold and silver. Taken altogether the piece is one of the most astonishing productions, and we cordially congra tulate Mr. George Vining on the immense success that has attended his ly,bours, and heartily wish him that great measure of success which he so richly deserves. The theatre was crowded in every part ; not a seat was vacant at the rising of the curtain, and shortly after standing room rose to a premium. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) THE WAR IN GERMANY. GITSCIIIN, July 2. The total loss of the Austrians in their battles with the Crown Prince was 25,000 men, and with the army of Prince Frederic Charles 15,000. The desertion of Italian soldiers from the Austrian army is increasing. The retreat of the Austrians was very precipitate. [Official.] BERLIN, July 3. Authentic intelligence from Bohemia states that Field-Marshal Benedek has found himself compelled in consequence of the dissolution of the corps of General von Gablenz, and the retreat of the Aus trian and Saxon troops, to abandon the operations that he had commenced near Gitschin, and to con centrate his army in a more distant position. THE POLICY OF FRANCE. PARIS, July 3. The Conttitutionnel of this morning publishes an article signed by M. Boniface, with the object, as stated by the writer, of tranquillising the public mind, and placing the policy of the Emperor in a better light. France had no reason, he continues, to associate herself with the passions that demanded war, but she cannot, on the other hand, remain un concerned, if a great struggle commences, and be indifferent to its results. The French Government has well been informed of all of its double resolution. It has not sought, and does not even seize, an oppor tunity of war, but neither does it admit that one of the belligerent parties should, in conse quence of the success it might obtain, seek to secure advantages of a nature to modify the state of Europe, thus creating fresh causes of disturbance. If the Emperor desired war in order to obtain satis faction or advantage, he would have intervened at the commencement, and would not have allowed his allies to become weakened in order not to have to restore their cause. It would be necessary, then, for grave circumstances to arise, such as those pointed out by the Imperial letter, to determine the Emperor to interfere. A war has now commenced requiring very great efforts and sacrifices on both sides. Whoever may be the victor will come out of the contest sufficiently tried to fear to expose him self to a fresh struggle, and will not wish, in the conditions of peace, to re-establish any of those grievances which would excite the just suscepti bilities of France. OFFICLAL DESPATCH. GITSCHIN, July 2, 3.25 p.m. It is estimated that in consequence of all the combats and battles since the 26th of last month between 30,000 and 40,000 Austrians are put hors de combat. About 15,000 prisoners have been made at the battles of Gitschin, Skaletz, Nachod, and in the engagements at Hunerwasser, Munchengratz, and Turnau. The number of killed and wounded is more than 20,000. Several battalions have been completely annihilated. The Saxon corps, the Kalik brigade, the Clam-Gallas corps, and the Gab lentz corps are completely broken up, and for the present are not in a condition to fight. The Austrian army has retired to a strong posi tion between Josephstadt and Koniggratz on the other side of the Elbe ; and, according to the state ment of some captured officers, the soldiers are dis couraged and the army partly in a state of disso lution. RUSSIA. ST. PETERSBURG, JULY 3. The Emir of Bokhara has sent back the Russian Plenipotentiary whom he had kept a prisoner. He has also promised to liberate the Russian merchants whom he boldt prisoners, and bas asked for a peace conference at Orenburg. THE PRINCIPALITIES. BUCHAREST, JULY 1. Scenes of violence took place in this town yester day, being directed against the Jews. The populace destroyed their synagogue. Many Jews took refuge at the Austrian Consulate. FRANCE. BOURSE, July 2.—Two o'clock.—The " settle ment" is taking place to-day on French Rente. Rumours are again being actively circulated con cerning the military operations in Bohemia, and although not corroborated by the latest telegraphic intelligence, they have had a certain influence on transactions.

STRAND THEATRE.—Mr. A. Swanborough, act ing manager, under whose skilful superintendence and that of Mrs. Swanborough, sole lessee, the Strand Theatre has deservedly become ono of the pleasantest and most popular playhouses in London, will take his benefit on Friday evening, when an exceedingly attractive bill of fare will be presented. Mr. Swauborough deserves so well of the playgoing public that an overflowing house on his benefit night may be confidently anticipated. THE SUNDAY FUNERAL QUESTION IN LIVERPOOL. —IMPORTANT RESOLUTION OF THE AUTHORITIES.—The question of Sunday funerals has been a topic of great local interest in Liverpool for some time past, tho general feeling being that the popular system of burying the dead on Sun days, which is almost an article of faith with the poorer classes, is in every way injurious to public health, morals, and decency. The subject has been finally taken up by the authorities of the various local cemeteries and burial grounds, who held a meeting to discuss the question at the Town-hall yesterday. The mayor was in the chair, and the majority of the meeting ultimately resolved that no funerals should in future take place on Sundays after nine:a.m. THE MAGAZINES. BLACKWOOD. —" The Collapse," of course, en gages special attention just now, and the writer of this article takes credit to Maga for having pro phesied all along the catastrophe that has just oc curred. It is truly said that the Government scheme was a " race against time." While credit is here awarded to Ministers for the gallant style in which they kept up the impulse they gave, the mistaken course which they pursued is ably criticised. Mr. Gladstone, it is declared, is not a good leader of the house, and it was never thought that ho would be ; he is too "intemperate, too unrestrained, too impulsive, to establish permanent in fluence over gentlemen, his equals in every respect, except perhaps in the gift of the gab." Another difficulty that confronted the Government was the fact that the small ness of their majorities would not have prevented the House of Lords from criticising the measure in no friendly spirit, but it is as well under any circumstances that such has been obviated. The chief error of the Government is shown here iu making it so evident that they had adapted their efforts, not what was desirable for the country so much as to what they should be able to carry. As for the notion that neither of the chief men in the Cabinet com municated with Mr. Bright that is put aside by the sug gestion that no one said the same of Mr. Milner-Gibson, who was in daily communication, or could be so, with the distinguished individual referred to. Having "con ciliated the Radicals" by paying court to Mr. Bright, they next tried to " hoodwink the Whigs." That thiS article was written before the resignation of Ministers, is quite certain, and it is stated " that a dissolution could not save the Government, while it involves us in many awk ward circumstances and puts the country in confusion. An Administration which begins its work with a majo rity of seventy to sustain it has no right to dissolve be cause through its own mismanagement the majority is changed into a minority." This lengthened sketch of the events which have made the session of 18(36 remarkable is very ably done, and although of course a one-sided view is occasionally taken, we meet with no bitterness of party spirit, and with no captious censuro of political opponents. It may be recommended to the perusal of those who wish to take a resume of affairs which the constant whirl of every-day life is so apt to put out of remembrance even after the lapse of a few weeks. "Nina Balatka" is the story of a maiden of Prague, and bids fair to be exciting and interesting. "Sir Brook Fossbrooke" is hero con tinued, and the reader will be shocked to find that the abominable Colonel Sewell is getting on amazingly well. It is to be hoped that he will soon be covered with the disgrace he so well merits. " The Principles and Issues of the American Struggle" is a well-considered article, which bears reference to the chief circumstances that re late to that momentous epoch. It is truly said that the approaching trial of " Mr. Jefferson Davis will test the validity of State rights in a manner worthy of the im portance of the principles ; a great defendant and a great cause will compel a great verdict." Great stress is justly laid upon the importance of the President and his:party carrying the day. If Mr. John son succeed the "Union is practicable," but, if otherwise, the Union is gone, and something else takes its place. Part the First of " Westminster School" presents some en tertaining sketches of the school that claims to be the oldest iu England. " The Panic in the City" contains some wise remarks upon the state of affairs, and points out the means of preventing such distress for the future. A criticism on "Felix Holt the Radical" renders justice to that:remarkable work. Cornelius O'Dowd is still indefatig able in his sketches of the world, and things in general. "What shall we;do for Coal?" is a smartly-written sketch in verse of the misfortunes which the sapient geologist is fortelling us in the future, which concludes with the fol lowing spirited words : " Though forge and mill should all stand still, Cheer up each valiant soul, While Britain can breed British men We never need care for coal." FRASER.—Several important subjects are this month discussed in Fraser, which of late appears rather to affect the solid than the entertaining. " Ireland " is the first of these, and the whole question of the wants and requirements of the sister country is fully entered into by the writer, who reminds us, justly enough, in conclusion, that Ireland is a part of ourselves, an essential member of Great Britain, whose destiny must be united with our own if England is to be a great Power in the world. • " Science," a lecture delivered at the Royal Institution by the Rev. C. Kingsley, is well worth reading, and, the tribute to the benefits which man owes to physical science is a noble and elegant passage. " The Site of the National Gallery Reconsidered" is an article which labours hard to prove that wo had better remove our national treasures to an inconvenient distance for the pleasure of walking after them. Singularly enough, we find a little further on another paper, headed "The Portraits at South Kensington," in which that highly praised locality is denounced in round terms as the domain of pretension and sycophancy —so that the editor is quite impartial. " Legends of Charlemagne," by Earl Stanhope, will attract the antiquary ; and General Gilmore's account of the operations against Charleston forms the staple of an interesting paper. The story of "The Deancicres" is con tinued, and we have a sensible essay on a domestic diffi culty, which recommends the very practical remedy of training schools for young servants to supply the present unsatisfied demand. CORNIIILL.—" The Village on the Cliff" is the commencement of a new story, that promises well, so far as we can judge from this instalment. The chapter called "The Two Catherines" is very natu rally described, and that passage is sad, but true, which tells of the feelings of the neglected gover ness, as she hears her own name constantly resounding through the house, when applied to the young lady of the family, whose life and prospects are so dif ferent to her own. The opening views, which are laid in France, are also well described, and " Dick," the hero, seems to be an attractive character. The tale is written in a pleasant style, and gains irresistibly on the attention as we proceed. "The Claverings" does not con tain any striking incident this time, but some events partly of note appear in its records. Lady Agnes is play ing a very foolish game indeed in allowing the objection able Sophie to come constantly to see her. She is also to blame for keeping up her acquaintance with Mary Clever ing, under the peculiar circumstances in which she was placed. Certainly the sketch of this lady is a solemn warning to those who are infatuated enough to risk every thingfor a grand match and a wealthy establishment. Poor Julia found all vanity and vexation of spirit, when she came to think of it. "At six and twenty, with youth, beauty,and wealth at her command, must she despair ? But her youth had been stained, her beauty had lost its fresh ness, and as for ber wealth, had she not stolen it? Did not the weight of the theft sit so heavy upon her that her brightest thought was one which prompted her to aban don it." It is a relief to turn from this ill-starred heroine to one more worthy of regard and respect—the simple unaffected Florence Walter. With no pretensions to rival the other one she is; in reality, far more attractive. "The Study of Letter Literature" is concluded, and is written in an appropriate manner. The closing remarks are very good ; they refer to the chief faults of the present day, the Philistinism to which we have sacrificed so much that ad vances and elevates human nature. It cannot bo attacked successfully by force, but must be gradually assailed. " The hard unintelligence which is jast now our bane cannot be conquered by storm, it must be supplied and reduced by culture ; by a growth in the variety, fulness, and sweet ness of our spiritual life, and this end can only bo reached by studying things that are outside of ourselves, and by studying themselves disinterestedly. " The Loss of the Steamship London," by one of the Survivors, is a pa per that is sure to attract a considerable amount of attention and will be read with deep interest by all who meet with it. The difficulties through which the survivors h; rd to pass were indeed extraordinary, and it seems almost 5 .miracle that they were saved. An appendix to " Tho ught and Language," is worthy of notice, and " Parsonis:al in Earndale," . is a:very amusing sketch, which relates seeeeral curious events that occurred in a disunited party until the happy day arrived when they met in harmony. TEMPLE BAR.—." Lady Adelaide's Oath" is con tinued, and in this number the fiftul lady is married to Mr. Lester, immediately after her uncle's death- Of course this will lead to great confusion subse quently, but all was mystery and misunderstand.ing• Miss Bordillion's perplexity is amusingly described, and altogether the transition from the Castle to the Ilea was a very strange one. Ravensbird again appears an the scene, and an animated discussion goes on as to who shall be the next possessor of the " Sailors' Rest." " Archie Lovell" is also eventful enough in this instalment, for affairs are brought to light, and Archie's clandestine visit to London disclosed. Her stepmother's horror is extreme, and she truly states harm will come of it, and that she never will be admitted into good society if it gets bruited abroad. This was unfortunate, as it induced Archie to make some compromise with the only ono who had seen her land on her return, the notorious Captain Waters, and anything Of the sort was worse for the young girl than the part of her voya ge, unplanned as that was. It is pretty certain that this unhappy expedition will be recalled to meenorY hereafter at some most inopportune juncture, and the mis guided young girl will have ample cause to regret her folly and presumption. "Letters to Joseph" contain more curious revelations of criticism, and some strictures on celebrated writers are analysed with skill and adroitness . "Intellectual Flunkeyiem" is a paper that describes some objectionable traits of character that aro rather too prowl nent at the present day. It is truly said that " the worshiP of intellectual power can do no harm ; but when people would scrutinise the habits of intellectual men, they cease Le reverence the social and degenerate into victims of foolish curiosity and manufacturers of idle gossip. " What the Panic did for my Brother George" is an interesting sketch; with something of originality about it, details and incl-: dents, a spice of romance is suffused into the hackneye d spheres of business and fashion, and the loss of mouol seems to bring out the sterling qualities of hero and hero; hie. "M u d V o l canoes " presents us w ith accounts
