Official reports received here from the Prussian head-quarters give the following details of th e great battle upon the 3d inst. : " It was at first intended to have given the troops a short rest, to recover from the fatigues of such long and uninterrupted marches and combats, but upon the evening of the 2d, news being received from several quarters that the enemy had brought up large masses in the course of the day between Josephstadt and Konigsgratz, upon this side of the Elbe, it was determined immediately to give him battle. " The final arrangements were not completed until past midnight. At two in the morning Prince Frederick Charles left his headquarters and ad vanced with the first army direct upon Konigsgratz. The first shot was fired by the 2d Army Corps in presence of the King, between seven and eight o'clock.- The first army, under Prince Frederick Charles, composed the centre. General von Her warth commanded the right wing, and the second army, under the Crown Prince, was to form the left wing. The 7th division of the first army advanced through Czerkwitz and Sadowa, to place itself in communication with the army of the Crown Prince; the Bth (Horn) division, advancing by way of Alilowitz, was to attack the enemy's centre directly in front ; the 2d Army Corps advanced upon Doha litz, to the south of Sadowa ; the 3d Corps remained . rfarift , of p .stlsra l uya n Herwarth advanced from " For fall five hours the army of Prince Frede rick Charles attacked the enemy at Sadowa, where he occupied a very strong and partly entrenched position, which he defended with the utmost obsti nacy. The key of the position was a wood situated in the front, the edges protected by abattis formed of the stems of cut-down trees, and the whole com manded by the enemy's artillery. Marks had been made upon the abattis to give the Austrian gunners the exact range. Towards 2 p.m. a determined attack was made upon the enemy's flanks to the left upon the Elbe by the Crown Prince, by Gene ral von Herwarth upon the right, and at the same time a vigorous onslaught took place upon the centre. The fortified position was carried with a rush, and the day was won." The movements of his Majesty during the day are thus described : " The King left Gitschin at 5 a.m., and reached the field about half-past 7. His Majesty rode to a hill on the north of Sadowa, whence the greater part of the battle-field could be overlooked,•and directed the operations of the day from this position. The 2d, 3d, and 4th Army Corps, under Prince Frede rick Charles, formed the centre of the Prussian position, began and carried on the battle, which was especially characterised by the lavish employment of artillery upon both sides and its sanguinary effects. Commenced at 8, the baittle continued with varying fortune till past noon, diversified by the capture of the wooded heights by infantry, charges of cavalry, and the thunder of guns on either side, until a slight pause seemed to intervene as if the combatants were resting to recover breath. " By that time, however, the second army under the Crown Prince had come up from the direction of Koniginhof, and at once took the enemy upon one flank, while General von Herwarth threw him self upon the other, and an advance of the whole line was made upon the enemy's centre. The ad vance of the entire Prussian force with bands play ing was a magnificent sight ; the various battalions and regiments, viewed from the heights, moving forward like the squares upon a chosl-board. ilia Majesty lwl by this time left his first position and advanced to the village of Problus, where he came repeatedly under very heavy grenade fire, and was for the first time plainly seen by the troops in line. This was the case with the Second Guards division, whose regiments broke out into enthusiastic cheers and shouts at the sight of the King. The enemy now falling back, his Majesty ordered up several brigades of cavalry, who engaged in vigorous pur suit, and aided materially in converting the enemy's retreat into a rapid rout, abandoning all further re sistance. The battle was very sanguinary, and the heaps of dead and wounded covering the field show what large numbers were engaged and the despera tion with which they fought. The King took up his quarters for the night at Horitz." H YAM & Co.'s BOYS' SPRING CLOTHING, 66 and 67, Oxford Street, London. The First Establishment in the Kingdom for Juvenile Clothing.

TEETH AND PAINLESS DENTISTRY.- The fear of pain and dread of operation inherent to all deter very many to whom ARTIFICIAL TEETH are of vital importance from availing themselves of the services of a dentist. In a practice founded in 1830, and now ex , ending over greater pat t of the kingdom, an experience unequalled has been obtained, enabling us to offer even the most sensi tive sufferer a system of dentistry perfect in its absolute freedom from pain, a specialite tertaining only to our prac tice, and for which her Majesty has granted her royal letters patent. This system embraces the non-interference with all stumps, however decayed, the supporting instead of extrac tion of loose teeth until I hey become firm and useful in mas tication, and the utter absence of all and every operation, so that the most nervous person can be supplied without fear of pain or inconvenience. These teeth are cheaper, more dur able, natural, and comfortable than any yet produced. Consultation free. Teeth from 55, Sets from 6 to 25 go., warranted.

The semi-official Norddeutsche Allgemeine of to day makes the following important announcement with respect to the armistice : " Public opinion still occupies itself, and very in telligibly, mainly with the situation which may be created by the diplomatic intervention of France. We believe we may assure our readers that there is nothing to be alarmed at in this situation, and its unexpected character can only arise from the extent to which it might bear upon the great exhaustion— or rather the utter powerlessness—of Austria, which forces the empire to cede its fairest province. "An regards ourselves, however, Prussia, in anti cipation of what might happen, not only entered into very definite and binding agreements with Italy before the outbreak of the war, but Prussian policy will, a also have taken into cal ueas a onth m a a t t t t h er e ofdiplomaticce tribunal of Europe must be called upon in the final so l u ti on o f th e pen di ng e t questions ; and if, under all circumstances, the Prussian.

" When, therefore, certain papers pretend that a French commissioner has left for Venetia to take possession of the province, and that orders have been a Venetia with one or two French are forced to doubt this com m internal evidence, and can only uu c g a i tv divisions, e o n n t u p o o n c c , e attribute the statement to the system of falsehood in the offices of the Austrian press, which has been so impudently displayed even in the official Austrian above intelligence were con firmed,touled amount to an open breach papers thFeofracitf would of France with Prussia and Italy, as by the French occupation of the Quadrilateral Austria would be placed in aposition to lead her entire army against Prussia, and the journals which announce the news have probably not considered whether this, as well as an Austro-French alliance generally, would be_a useful aim for the policy of France." . The National Rifle Association. The real business of the National Rifle Associa tion's prize meeting commenced yesterday on Wim bledon-common, and it is to be hoped that fine and congenial weather will continue at least during the proceedings. Several additional tents were pitched, and the numerous masts fixed in different parts of the common displayed the distinguishing flags of all nations. The large bell tent, designed for the ac commodation of visitors, in the event of a shower coming on, has been erected, and everything pro mises a very satisfactory meeting. In addition to the general arrangements it may be mentioned that Colonel Johnson, of the 95th Regiment, will have charge of the statistical department, in the place of Colonel Bones, of the Hythe School of Musketry, and it will be necessary to make a correction in the description of the medical staff, which consists of Surgeon-Major Wyatt, of the Coldstream Guards ; Dr. Westmacott, of the London Scottish; and Staff Assistant-Surgeon William Johnston, M.D. The event fixed for yesterday's competition was the All Corners' County Match, to be shot for with any rifle, and in any position, 10 shots each, at 800 and 900 yards. For this prize representatives of the Counties of Middlesex, Gloucester, and Lancashire were the competitors. The second item on the programme was the con test between Oxford and Cambridge and Middlesex, and the Tower Hamlets and Middlesex. The other contests consisted of the Enfield Association Cup, the Swiss Carton Targets, Running Deer, Running Prizes, Sighting, Sweepstakes„&c. The business of the day had not long commenced when it was announced that the volunteers from Belgium, intending to take part in the pro ceedings of the meeting, were approaching the common, and they shortly afterwards were seen in the distance. It appeared that, anticipating their arrival, the Ist Surrey, headed by their band, and commanded by Captain Harrison Weir, had proceeded to the Putney station, and on the arrival of the train a most enthusiastic ovation awaited thern. Hearty congratulations were given on all sides, each volunteer was eager to seize the hand of one of their visitors, and never during the existence of the National Rifle Association has such a scene been witnessed. The Belgian deputation having been formed, the Surrey band struck up, and they marched to the common, where another hearty welcome awaited them. They proceeded to the front of the Council Tent, where they were ranged in line, and Earl Spencer, Lord Elcho, Colonel Kennedy, Captain Mildway, and others, were present to receive them. Lord Elcho advanced to the front, and, addressing the Belgian volunteers in French, gave them a hearty welcome, and called upon the British volunteers to greet their Belgian friends with cheers, which request was heartily re sponded to. Major de l'Eau d'Andremont, Com mandant des Chasseurs Eclaireurs Beiges, returned thanks, and said—Our intention in responding to your brotherly invitation is less for the purpose of gaining laurels than in setting a great and favour able example. We come here being animated by a sentiment of fraternity—we come to this England, which we are accustomed to consider as the mother of our national institutions—we come to re-echo our The feelings of liberty and love to your country. reception which our much beloved sovereign_ has received from the great city of En g land and from the English nation has inspired us with feelings of the liveliest gratitude.

To you, my English brethren, we say, " Friends, if ever some day dan ger should threaten us, we shall turn our looks towards you as a free country, and great by its liberty. (Cheers.) Gentlemen, I propose to you three cheers for the Council of the National Rifle Association. At this request loud cheers were raised, shakos were placed on the tops of the bayonets and hoisted in the air, and accompanied by marked demonstrations of enthusiasm. Major de l'Eau d'Andremont then proposed three cheers for her Majesty the Queen. This called forth re newed demonstrations, accompanied by loud cries of " Vive la Reine." The deputation then, by spe cial invitation of Major Styan, of the Queen's West minsters, proceeded to the tent of that corps, where refreshments were provided. The deputation were then shown round the camp, and by every corps they were received with the warmest demonstra tions. By a special invitation the Belgians visited the camp of the Ist Surrey Volunteers, and were handsomely entertained, and numerous appropriate speeches were given and responded t o . With a view of throwing additional interest into the visit of the Belgians Mr. Stenard, optician to the National Rile Association, will give a prize of ten guineas to be shot for exclusively by Belgians.

Private Berkley, Tower Hamlets: 4l OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE BRONZE MEDAL Ensign Weld, Oxford Origin and History of the Needle Gun. ----~-- The Paris correspondent of the Liverpool Journal narrates as follows the toils and disappointments of the inventor of this gun :--" If the Peace Society had offered a reward for the invention of the best means of putting a speedy end to war, the prize might certainly be claimed by the inventor of the needle gun, which evidently proves to be the secret possessed by Bismarck, and to which he has so often alluded as insuring a successful termination of the struggle with Austria. The news of the complete defeat of the latter, after a terrible combat in which the whole forces of both parties were engaged, has filled with dismay even those who had hoped for this very result ; for it is owned that neither to superior bravery nor skill, neither to superior num bers nor advantage in ground, is the victory owing, but simply to the employment of the needle gun. This arm, which has shown itself equal to the tfuk attempted in vain by philosophy and religion, that of staying the combatants and arresting the progress of war, has a history exactly similar in all points to that of every other invention. It is well known to be the produce of the long study and perseverance of an English officer who, while stationed at a solitary out post in Canada, amused his leisure hours with expe riments in the rough construction of a substitute for the rifle which he had damaged by letting it drop down a precipice while in pursuit of a bear. It was almost by accident that the discovery became pal pable to the solitary hunter in the woods. But no sooner did it become manifest to his senses than he resigned his commission in the army, returned to Europe, and, as a matter of course, hurried to the War-office with his invention, certain of its adop tion in the English army, from its evident supe riority over the old-fashioned weapon in use. For more than a year was the inventor kept in suspense. The Enfield rifle met him at every turn. He was bandied about from one official to another during all this time merely to he told at last that Govern ment did not feel disposed to alter the principle of the arms employed. It was then that in disgust he brought his invention to Paris, and by even a more bitter mockery of fate than in London he obtained an interview with the Emperor, who listened with the greatest apparent interest to the description of the gun, examined the plans and sections brought by the officer, much questioned the superiority of the invention over others which had been laid before him, declared it seemed to him liable to the great objection of being too delicate for field use, and abruptly sounded the little gong which stands upon his bureau, and slightly rising when the usher entered at the summons, dismissed the visitor to admit other importunates. It was then that, with the undaunted perseverance of inventors in general, he betook himself, with his needle gun, to Holland, whose Sovereign had always manifested great inte rest in the advancement of gunnery, and who had first become the purchaser of a steel caulker to re pair instantaneously the damaic caused by the enemy's shot in ships' sides,which, being the inven tion of a poor carpenter's journeyman, had never theless found its way into the royal presence, and been accepted without the smallest attempt at bar gaining. But, when arrived at the Hague, he found that his resources had dwindled away to such an ex tent that he was compelled to delay his presenta tion to the King for want of proper costume to ap pear in. Meanwhile, he became accidentally ac quainted with one of the gentlemen attached to the Prussian Legation at the Hague, and to whom he recounted his bitter grievances. This time he was listened to with interest. The brother-in-law of his new friend held some appointment at the Court of Berlin. War and revolution were already floating through the air. He saw at once all the advantage which might accrue from being the first to present a new and valuable instrument of destruction to Bismarck, so determined to destroy, and he lost no time in repairing with the Englishman to Berlin. Here the way was open—the hour had come, the needle gun was tried, examined, and accepted in the shortest possible space of time, the inventor hand somely rewarded, and encouraged to establish him self.terrible encounter with the Austrians, where courage, in Prussia. We have seen the result in this avail against period served as skill, prudence, and valour were of no . the needle gun, which for a long pep to all. and which has now become an obi t the laughing-stock to every etat cheer intrepidity which by s The Austrian cavalry, of the Prus sianor two squares managed to break one of the needle gun, did so at majorof einavEyurope, infantry in spite life, all and . proved beyond cavalry and infantry have found doubt that both weapon Pon employed by the their master in the terrible an enormous risk of Prussians i n this war. The odds in favour of th e needle gun are easy enough to calculate. The Prussians can fire six rounds a minute ; if four minutes' march be the usual time allotted for a bayonet charge, the Austrian foot soldier must have stood four-and-twenty shots before he could have a chance of meeting the enemy hand to hand ; and, should he give way to take his full springforward, he must of necessity have been struck down. With such certainty of destruction as that provided by the needle gun all question of right and justice becomes unnecessary."

AQUATICS• PRESENTATION TO HARRY KELLEY. On Thursday evening last a handsome gold medal, with an appropriate inscription, was presented to Harry Kelley, in tho Tyne Concert Hall, by Mr. J. C. Anderssohn, in the presence of a largo number of spectators. In acknowledging the compliment, Kelley took the opportunity of contra dicting a statement which had appeared in a London daily contemporary, to the effect that ho had not been well re ceived among the people of Newcastle. So far from this being the case, ho could say that he had always had the best treatment from the inhabitants of that town. It was not to be expected that if he came to oppose a man of their own that he could have their wishes for success altogether but so far as the conduct of the Newcastle people towards him was concerned, ho wished to toll thorn that it had been of the kindest description. Kelley arrived in London at 9.35 p.m. on Saturday, and on the route home ho and his party, consisting of Mr. C. Bush, S. Parker, G. Drewitt, J. Sadler, E. Patrick, and several gentlemen, at once drove to the Oxford Music Hall, where they stayed a short time, and then to the Canterbury Music Hall, at which place it had been mooted ho would call. The hall was crowded to suffocation. On Kelley entering the multitude of people would not allow the per formance to go on until he had made his appearance on, the stage. He was led on by Mr. C. Morton and Mr. C. Bush, Kelley's principal backer, on which the audience rose en ntasse and cheered to the echo. Kelley, in a few words, returned his grateful thanks, stating that he had never in the whole course of his life felt such pleasure as at that moment. Ho had always done his best, and now that he had the proud satisfaction of calling himself cham pion of the world, he should retire from public life, at which announcement the audience took off their hats and waved their handkerchiefs ; in fact, such a scene had never before been witnessed in the Canterbury Hall. On Kelley's arrival at Putney again there was a tremen dous crowd to meet him, amongst which wore many of the fair sex, one of whom tendered Kelley a laurel wreath en twined with the champion's colours. THE QUORN C.OUNTRY.—Mr. S. W. Clews, the late - ina - iter - offbe Quern houndS, - has received-a handsome testimonial, which was presented to him at a public dinner held at the Bell Hotel, Leicester, on Wednesday evening last. The testimonial consists of a largo epergne abd a silver-gilt claret jug, and was presented by the occupiers of land hunt ing in the Quorn country. The epergne bears the following inscription -" Presented by the occupiers of land to S. W. Clowes, Esq., as a mark of esteem for his kindness and coui Lev during his mastership of the Quern hounds.-July 4, 1866." On the obverse side i' an embossed representation of a celebrated sporting incident connected with the Duke of Rutland's hounds. On the base are the full heraldic beatings of Mr. Clowes's family. The claret jug bears the same inscription on one side, and the crest of Mr. Clowes on the other. According to a long report of the probeedings which appears in the Leicester Journal, Mr. Clews, in ac knowledging the presentation, said he wanted to explain how it was he came to give up. He thought if ho had so many subscriptions he could manage the rest without detii ment to his private prosperity, or without taking more of his income than he ought to spend on an amusement; but when ho came to look into it he found it was costing him so much more than he ought to spend on such an object that he de termined to give it up. It was a mistake to suppose that ho was not properly supported ; the first year he got nearly £2,000, and the nest ho got a little short; but they must de aunndhrsethaandd all tl e t h r the was i n n e o s s b o o d f y t h t e o m g a e n t a i g n e t m h e e n s t u o b f s t c h r i e p e t o i o u n t try, as well as the hounds. However, when he undertook it, it was with a full knowledge of the difficulties there were in the way of getting subscriptions, but the expense was too much for him, and he found the bother of the country and covers so great that it was too much for one man. There had been insinuations in many quarters that he had been badly used, but he never was treated otherwise than well by anybody with the single exception of a half-witted fellow who lived in the forest. These were his reasons for taking the country and for giving it up. In conclusion, Mr. Clowes proposed the health of the nobleman, who was to succeed him-the Marquis of Hastings, whom they all knew as an energetic promoter of the turf, and he hoped he would carry the same energy into the more noble, but not less profitable, pursuit of foxhunting both for mind and body.—Pall Mall Gazelle. RESULTS OF MODERATION IN DlET.—Health and longevity are not the only result of moderation in diet. Its influence is far from being limited to the body; its effect on the mind is still more important. Julius Caesar, con stitutionally addicted to excess, when resolved on some great exploit, was accustomed to diminish his diet to an extent truly marvellous, and to this diminution he ascribed the clearness and energy of mind which distinguished him in the hour of battle. When extraordinary mental vigour was desired by the first Napoleon, ho used the same means to attain it. To his rarely-equalled modera tion in diet Dr. Franklin ascribed his "clearness of ideas" and "quickness of perception," and considered his progress i rig te id m w pe as ran t e h e e whicha b t ho practised. While Sir Isaac Newton was composing hi s " Treatise on Optics " ho confined himself to bread and a D'Aubigne relates of Luther, on the i cthon, that a "little bread and a single nonce of Leibnitz, when preparing some parts of hi s tu th _ after he h fe a e d d f , ou a n nd d , herringwas often his only food for d andw with he even n e a ay. Indeed he was out that heaven was not to be purchased by • abstinence would continue for a considerable t . drinking." Dr. Cheyne, V. celebratedlme without eating or physician, reduced himself from the enormous weight of 4481 b. to 1401 b., by confining himself to a • imited quantity of vegetables, milk, and water, as his only food and drink. The result was a . restoration of health and mental vigour, and, amid profes sional and literary labours, uninterrupted health and pro-. tractede life.

ICEBERGS.—The Echunga, Captain 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 formed a complete barricade across the ship's way as far as 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. The richest church in Boston is the Old South, which is taxed this year for 8435,000 worth of real estate. ADTERTISEMENT —Holloway's Ointment andd Effectual Aid.--In the sad time of sicknessit i s cheering to know that a remedy does exist, and that it can be . pro duced at a little cost. Holloway's Ointment and Pills are invaluable in relieving pain, reducing inflammation, and regulating disordered actions. They never can be misap plied, nor can they, under any circumstances, cause mis chief. Taken in appropriate doses they are a blessing to the rich, when suffering from indigestion, gout, skin dis eases, &c., and a boon_to the poor when s tr uck dow n by illness. Holloway's medicines should be in the possession of all soldiers, sailors, and emigrants, who will then be in a position to relieve pain and cure disease when medical assistance cannot be obtained.
