Dr. SANDERS asked what steps had been taken to secure the proper attention of public bodies during the approaching vacation. _ _ _ Mr. Deputy C.

With regard to the water supply, he might mention that had he had notice of the question he would have been prepared to pro duce a letter received from the clerk of the New River Company, in reply to a communication from the Commission, that the New River Company would give every facility, and would furnish a sup ply of water every Sunday.

Early yesterday it was confidently stated that the rumours which had been afloat concerning an armis tice for several days previously were about to be verified. A great money dealer had uttered oracular sentences, and had sold gold the day before. M. Benedetti had been heard to say a few words which gave an idea that he thought there would be no more fighting. The Prussians were inactive. The Archduke Albrecht still remained with the head quarters in Vienna. M. von der Pfordten was on his way to the capital, and so it was considered very probable that Austria and Prussia would come to an understanding which would put an end to the fighting in Germany. The moment was favourable for Austria. She had won a great naval victory as a pendant to Custozza, and could afford to hold her es t te h i l n e f gi Italianan great front question.aorfal army Vienna, fo for the succeededaoo t v t he n le strengthenedp t stifflytocapital.ii S and d be e fe n h b c a a e d d close to Presburgoth e l u co hnl el collecting was their first failure. Prussians had failed in their l ü ß r e e . n w e di with kt thewa na was said, bulks prevent a i do, ftho oi his , army. t appear inghe y had aI dt sickness in their camp, and that they were short of supplies and transport. Soon after 1 o'clock I was informed that a suspension of hostilities had been agreed to for five days ; and I was, therefore, in no from the scene of particular hurry to complete going to Presburg, with what had beennegclootni my arrangements for negotiations. i i o . information in Vienna than in a city of 40 miles not at all surprising The way news o f to those who were acquainted nego tiation, and who knew what were the feelings of many of the most influentialpeople in the Empire n ns t . he in regard to peace onfair terms—on any terms short of dislocation and dismemberment and na tional dishonour. The bases were laid for Austria to stand upon with firmness and dignity, and those who desi re d peace could point to Custozza and Lissa, to Vienna and to Hungary, as arguments in favour of their proposals • Prussia had not only become more moderate, disclaiming, • it was said, exalted pretensions put forth on her behalf, but had taken the initiative ' mtertain oblique indications of a wish to come to an amicable understanding. How ever, at 2.30 p.m. I heard the astonishing news that the Prussians hadattacke d d' the Corps Armee of Count Thun (the 2d) in front of Presburg, and that a severe conflict had been going on there for several hours. The officer who gave the information at the same time stated that telegraphic despatches had been at once sent off to announce the conclusion of the agreement for five days' suspension of hostilities and that the fighting must have ceased soon after 12 o'clock. Presbur g is nearly 40 miles distant. The railways which runs to it from Vienna, on the left bank of the Danube, was held in various places by the Prussians, and no trains had been despatched for many days. The steamers had stopped running, and it was not possible to get to the place, even if the road and bridge of b6ats to the • city were clear, till nightfall. A suspension of hostilities in Vienna, and a battle 40 miles away at one and the same time, were embarrassing events to deal with, but it was evident that Austrian and Prussian had renounced the combat long before I could have reached the spot, and so I put off my departure till this day, when it is probable the Archduke and his headquar ters will move from the city towards his army to await the course of events. It is plain the Prussians could not have known of the temporary truce, or they would not have attacked the 2d Army Corps ; but as yet I have no information. It appears that the Prussians attacked the Austrian position outside Presburg with great vehemence in the morning, a skirmish being gradually developed on their side into an action. But though Count Thun's corps was not very strong the Austrians were in great force near Presburg, and were enabled not only to hold their own but to drive the Prussians from the hills or rising ground they got possession of in the early part of the attack. The engagement took place at Blumenau, a little village some three miles north-east of Presburg, on the junction of the road from Marehegg with the roads which run down the valley of theMarcb, and then proceed nearly parallel with the railway from Vienna to Presburg, which branches off from the Ferdinand Nord Bahn at Ganserndorf. Probably the details of the engage ment, as well as the news of the five days' truce, were known in London and 1 Pari s at least as soon as they reached us in Vienna. Here we can only say that the Austrians repulsed the Prussians, and that when the orders to put an end to the fight were received they had the advantage, and kept it. There was a gleam of light on the Austrian arms for once, it is said, but it was soon obscured by the news of the truce. ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH EXPEDITION. (From the Times Special Correspondent.) FOILHOMMERHUM BAY, Tuesday Night, July 24. Within 12 or 24 hours at latest, after this letter has reached the public, the Atlantic Cable, intact and even far more perfect in its electrical conditions than when it left England, will be landed on the shores of Newfoundland. Until it was out of all danger it was better in the interests of the general public that some impartial witness should remain here to record the progress of the undertaking, and, in case of failure, to explain, as far as possible, its causes and the probability of its being reparable or not. Many gentlemen connected with this great effort have remained for the same reason, though it is to be hoped that the vigilance of all will be laid at rest on Friday night or at latest Saturday morn ing. The telegrams this afternoon from the Great Eastern, though giving latitude and longitude with tolerable exactness, were, in fact, calculated from the dead reckoning—i.e., the rate of speed of the vessel and her course, for the messages told that weather and sea were calm, but that, as was ex pected when she came upon the banks of Newfound land, the fogs were very dense, and no observa tions could be taken. In this emergency, however, as in all other matters, every possible source of failure seems to have been foreseen and provided against. Thus to-day, in the midst of the fog, the accompanying vessels attendant upon the Great Eastern were ahead of her, the Terrible first, the Medway second, and the Albany third. The Ter rible was firing a gun every hour, the Medway at ten minutes past the hour, the Albany at 20 minutes past, and the Great Eastern at 30 minutes past. Thus a complete succession of signals was kept up, and the position and course of every vessel known. In case, however, of the fog proving so thick as to separate the vessels in spite of all precautions, the latitude upon which the cable will cross each degree of longitude has been given to all the officers in charge of the squadron. Thus, any vessel missing the Great Eastern can at once steam ahead to a meridian in advance, and then wait in her track till she comes up. So, also, in case of her coming upon the coast of Newfoundland in a dense fog, the Great Eastern is to stop steaming at once ; or if, for the safety of the ship, it is necessary to keep back from land while the fog lasts, the cable is to be cut, moored, and buoyed, and watch buoys put down to facilitate its being found again. This is also to be done in case of a gale of wind while making the splice with the shore end, or in such weather as may render it unadvisable for the Great Eastern to approach the land. To-night is one of some anxiety to all here, for we know that the Great Eastern is in a fog, and we also know that the cable is being laid across a gully where, between two banks, the water is very deep indeed—possibly, for all that is known to the contrary, deeper than any other part yet passed. As has been akeady ex plained in a previous letter, the present route over which the cable is being laid has not been carefully sounded. All the depths along the line of the cable of 1858 are known to within a few fathoms, but it was south of this that the cable of last year was laid, and to avoid all danger in grappling for last year's line the present rope is being taken at least some 30 miles further south from this again. This, in her longitude of 45 21, and latitude of 49 44, as sent here to-night, shows the great ship to be off two of the foremost banks of Newfoundland, where part of the gulf streams meet the regular set of summer cur rents from the Arctic regions. The ocean eddies caused by these contrary currents are often marked in the best maps, and these, in the latitude and lon gitude we have given, will show that between the two banks they have formed is a gully of tremen dous depth, marked as having no bottom at 3,000 fathoms. As a matter of course this terrible ravine has been avoided by passing north of it by some 50 or 60 nautical miles. Nevertheless, where the Great Eastern is to-night steaming, and it is to be hoped laying the cable safely at the north end of this gully, there is known to be at least 2,400 fathoms, or nearly 15,000 feet of water. Across this depth she will have to lay the cable till to-morrow (Wednes day) evening. Once passed this last and greatest difficulty, the water shoals gradually to about 1,200 fathoms, and then again deepens to over 2,000. From this final dip the submarine shore continues to ascend from 1,500 to 1,200, 900, 700 fathoms, and so on into Heart's Content Bay. The telegram to-night showed that the difficulties of these suddenly deepening waters had been fully appreciated. The distance run by the latest advices was about 1,300 nautical miles, and the cable paid out about 1,500. These returns show a large in crease in the usual amount of slack, which, up till lately, has been maintained from the time of start ing at an almost uniform rate of 12i per cent. The latest news also informs us that to-morrow (Wed nesday), at about 2 p.m., the paying out from the foremost tank will be finished, and the " lead" of the cable transferred to the tank amidships. After what has been so successfully accomplished in pass ing the run of the cable from the aftermost tauk to that in the extreme forward part of the vessel, not the slightest apprehension is here entertained that the comparatively easy operation of taking it back to the centre of the vessel can be effected with the most perfect safety. On Friday night, or Saturday morning, it is expected that the end will be landed in Newfoundland, but as regards this everything will depend upon the clearness and state of the weather. All the vessels which have been sent out to supply the squadron with coal have, it is believed, already arrived at Newfoundland. As soon as the Great Eastern has completed her work that vessel, with the Terrible, Albany, and Medway, will at once, and with all speed, working night and day, pro ceed to fill up with fuel. The Terrible and Albany will be coaled first, and start directly afterwards for the exact latitude and longitude in which the cable of last year was broken. When this precise spot is ascertained " marked buoys," with which both ships are pro vided, will be moored for guidance in grappling. The Great Eastern and Medway will follow these ships, but in case of their not joining their consorts soon after the marked buoys are placed the Albany will proceed to grapple for the cable of last year. This vessel, with all the other ships of the squadron, is equipped with the most perfect hauling in and paying out machinery, with an ample store of buoys, marked buoys, wire grappling ropes, and dynamo meters to show the strain on all parts of the ropes and apparatus used. After the buoys are placed the Albany will at once proceed to " sweep" for the end of the cable of 1865. This somewhat anxious and most laborious process is effected by the ships in search of the wire carefully lowering their grapnels till the bottom is ascertained with certainty, and then slowly steaming at right angles across the line along which the cable has been laid 10 miles each way to the north and south of it. On the north side they would have to go more than 20 miles to reach the defunct wire of 1858, and at least 30 miles to the south of their proper route to jeopardise that which it is believed here has just been laid. As, however, all the vessels sweeping for the wire are strictly limited to a distance. of 10 miles north or south of its ascertained position, there is little fear of their catching anything but what they are in search of, for even in the densest fog the dead reckoning of the ship and speed of engines would show the dis tance run. In case of the Albany grappling of last year's rope she is gently to lif t it as far as l possible, and as far as is consistent without at all approaching the breaking strain. The gr apnel rope is then to be moored to an immense buoy, and wire fur ther to the east or English side till she succeeds in then secured. She is again to grapp le for the the end again lifting it. Thus , again and again, her labours will be continued till a series of "bights" are brought near to the surface of the Ocean, so that PRICE.... 4d. STAMPED sd . on the arrival of the Great Eastern any one of these loops may be at once and easily raised and the splice made. More than enough of the cable will then remain to enable her to continue, or rather we should say complete, the work of carrying the second wire to Newfoundland. If, however, the Great Eastern and Medway arrive before the end of the cable is found by the Albany, all three ships will at once take up their positions and commence "sweeping" with their grapnels. The Medway is to be to the extreme west with the greatest lifting strain ; the Great Eastern in the middle, with a smaller lifting power ; and the Al bany three miles to the east of the Great Eastern, with the least lifting power of all. So, if the cable is broken by the Medway, the wire half-way up will be held by the grapnels of the Great Eastern, and the strain on the rope reduced by its being partially supported by the Medway. It is not intended to try to raise the actual end of the cable broken last year, as this is hampered with the heavy grapnels and heavier wire ropes which were used in vain to re cover it last autumn, and which, if anything is known with certainty of deep-sea soundings, is be lieved to be lying in a massive tangle over the end of the rope—a weight which nothing could raise, Di rectly, therefore, that the Albany has succeeded in getting her end of the line, and the Great Eastern and Medway have secured their portions, the Albany will steam ahead at full speed, so as to break the portion of the line she has grappled and leave the end free to come up unfettered by the obstacles heaped upon it in the efforts to recover it. She will then return and keep inside the Medway, taking from the latter vessel her grip of the wire, and holding on by it till the Great Eastern has spliced, if possible, her end. The Terrible in t all o cases will assist in carrying messages from ship sh direct ip.She herwill also keep ahead Great one Eastern g u and n toalterher of course the by firing for a port helm and two guns for helm a starboard. Three guns are to signify danger ahead either in case of ships or ice. One gun from the Great Eastern is the signal to bring all her consorts round her im mediately. Most of the chief officials connected with the old Atlantic Company and the new Anglo-American are still waiting at Valentia for the completion of the great work. Mr. Latimer Clark has been here some days. As electrical engineer to the company he has to report upon and decide whether or not the cable has been truly laid. It will be given over to him for this purpose about midday on Saturday next, and his strict tests for " conductivity" and insula tion will probably occupy some 24 hours. When the cable has passed through this last ordeal it will be accepted by the company as completely laid ; and, as far as scientific skill can tell, the great elec trical problem of nearly the last 10 years will have been solved. A continuous stream of applications is flowing day by day on Mr. Glass, offering almost any sums for priority of messages to America when the line is opened. It may save these inquirers a deal of time and money—for their requests always come by telegraph—if we state at once that it has been determined that no messages except those of the English and American Government will have any priority at all, save those which arrive after the line has been publicly declared open. Mr. Glass, the managing director of the company, now seldom leaves the telegraph-house at Foilhommerhum, either night or day. Even during the very short interval of his absence every message and signal is brought to him, no matter at what time of the night. It is only fair to say at what we hope may be the suc cessful conclusion of this great enterprise that from first to last the credit of its achievement is almost solely due to him. His energy, his organisation, and not a little of his capital, have kept the various plans going, and if the Atlantic cable is laid this time Mr. Glass may fairly claim the chief honours of its success. In anticipation of its completion a great fete is preparing here for all the country people between this and even as far as Kilharney who may choose to come on the hospitable invitation offered to all around. The Knight of Kerry and Mr. Glass are to be the entertainers. Fireworks and illuminations have arrived from Dublin, and everything seems to promise a grand gala day and night to commemo rate the successful laying of the Atlantic cable in 1866. 52. Fleet-street.

Yesterday a Court of Common Council was held at Guildhall for the despatch of business, prepara tory to the approaching recess. The Lord Mayor took the chair precisely at 12 o'clock, when a full ccurt had assembled. On the minutes of the last court being read by the town clerk, a member drew attention to an in accuracy in the printed minute of the resolution adopted at the last court with respect to the grant of the Guildhall for the use of the National Reform League, from which it seemed that the grant had been made lot two meetings instead of one assem blage. The TOWN CLERK explained that this had arisen from a mistake made by a clerk. his (the Town Clerk's) written minute was limited to one meeting only. 'Cir. LowMAN TAYLOR said that if the application for the use of Guildhall had been made that day he believed the court would not have acceded to it, and he now put it to the court whether, after the scenes which had been enacted at the West-end, they would jeopardise their hall by admitting the public on the occasion to which the resolution had reference. If he was in order he would move to rescind and revoke the resolution of the previous court. Mr. RICHARDSON rose to address the court, but was met with loud cries of " There's no question before the court," and he resumed his seat, when the matter dropped. THE CHOLERA. Mr. IsAAcs said he was desirous of putting a ques tion to the chairman of the Sewers Commission on a matter of great importance. He alluded to the approach of cholera. In 1849, when the epidemic appeared, special committees had been appointed by this court to take precautionary and preventive steps. At the present moment the sanitary arrange ments of the City were vested in the Commissioners of Sewers, and as it was very desirable that precau tionary measures should be taken, he begged to ask the chairman of the Sewers Commission whether the subject had engaged their attention, and whether it was meant to adopt precautionary measures in anticipation of the approach of the cholera. Mr. Deputy DE JERSEY, in replying to the ques tion, expressed a hope that no alarm should be created in the public mind on the one hand, and on the other hand it was necessary that measures of precaution should be taken. Under the Nuisances 3 Removal Act and the Diseases Prevention Act, up 23 and 24 Victoria, the duties were divided,th of aat and on the Commissioners of Sewers devolved re moving nuisances, while on the boards arof the extension o f guardians was imposed that of the prevention of the disease. Ile had tha,t 'nor . n s i i n n cr had an interview with the officers of the corn and arrangements had bee:l:laden on the subject, to carry out all that was desirable in the matter so far as the com mission was concerned. Ile might add that the boards of guardians were fully alive to the importance of the matter, and were to meet that afternoon to adopt those arrangements which devolved upon them under the statute. lle could assure the court that the Commissioners of Sewers and the boards of guardians had the most ardent wish to co-operate, and would take care, as far as human ability could, to carry out the provisions of the act. On a matter of so great importance he thought it desirable that the court should have the fullest information, and he might state that he had recently had a conversation with one of the best authorities on the subject—he alluded . to Mr. Glaisher—who had made meteorolo g"l6lllTqa on the former occasion, and who was THE APPROACHING MEETING IN GUILDHALL. Mr. Deputy C. REED inquired from the chairman of the City Lands Committee what arrangements had been madefor carrying out the resolution of the court with reference to the reform meeting in Guildhall. Mr. J. E. SAUNDERS replied that the resolution in question had been referred to the special Com mittee of the City Lands, who had managed and arranged the working men's exhibition and the hor ticultural banquet, and he would further add that the meeting would be presided over by the Lord Mayor. (Loud cheers.) The latter fact was a guarantee that everything would be conducted with propriety, and a fair hearing secured to all parties. TRAFFIC REGULATION BILL. The TOWN CLERK (in the unavoidable absence of the Remembrancer) communicated to the court that the Traffic Regulation Bill had received a second reading in the House of Commons. Mr. Alderman LAWRENCE, M.P., drew the atten tion of the court to the clauses of the bill which took away all jurisdiction as regarded the traffic in the City from that court and the Court of Aldermen to the City Police Commissioner, acting under the authority of the Home Secretary, and would prevent the delivery of coals, wines, beer, and other commo dities between the hours of ten in the morning and seven o'clock in the evening. The bill required the utmost watching and opposition, and he should therefore move that a copy of the bill be sent to every member of the court, and that it be referred both to the Police Committee and to the Commis sioners of Sewers. Mr. R. N. PHILLIPS seconded the motion, which was put and agreed to. SHERIFFS' COURT.
