CRYSTAL PALACE.-EXCURSIONS DAILY, —Park and Gardens refreshed by rain. Never more beau. tiful. THIS DAY. SHILLING OPERA. T II E Now ready, at all the libraries, in 3 vols., THREE BROTHERS. By Mrs. OupHANT, _ OZOKERIT (PATENTED). NEW YORK GOSSIP. (PROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) NEW YORK, JULY 13. The absorbing topic of conversation in all circles whether of the business or the fashionable world, since left England because the law would not permit him to espouse his deceased's wife sister, preached in_this city on Sunday last. His discourse was not remarkable. The great success of the public baths is very satisfactory, though not extraordinary ; many hundreds of persons are turned away daily, and the authorities are doing their utmost to hasten the completion of the other bath houses. The weather has been warm, but not oppressively so, the mortality rate has sunk to the usual level, and the cases of sunstroke are very infrequent. All the theatres are closed, with the exception of Wallack's and the Grand Opera House, both of which produced novelties on Mon day evening, the attraction at the first-named establish ment being the first appearance of Mr. Joseph K. Emmet in a new play, entitled " Fritz, our Cousin German." At the Grand Opera House Madame Lanner's Viennoise Ballet and Pantomime troupe made their &It& Both theatres were crowded, and the entertainments lavishly applauded. J. W. Lingard, ex-manager of the New Bowery Theatre, committed suicide by drowning himself on Wednesday last. His body was recovered on Thurs day, and on Sunday he was buried from St. Ann's Epis copal Church. The funeral sermon was attended by at least five thousand persons, composed of deputations from the Dramatic Fund Association, Amity Lodge, No. 323, and the Benevolent Ord of Elks, of all of which deceased was a member. There were besides numbers of friends of all conditions of life. Mr. Liugard's domestic relations were unfortunate, and it is thought that this fact pieyal upon his mind, until in a moment of frenzy he destroyed himself. The remains were interred at Greenwood Ceme tery. PRINCE HAL. Palace open for admission from .. .. 10. 0 till 7.30 Pianoforte Recital, Mr. R.

A BOOK FOR TOURISTS IN NORWAY, THE CHANNEL ISLANDS, CORNWALL, AND THE SCILLY ISLANDS. BY EDWARD SPENDER PRICE 3s. " It is a straightforwardly and sometimes gracefully written Sketch of Norway, the Channel Islands, and Cornwall, from the holiday traveller's point of view, not, however, exclusively devoted to matters of scenery or itinerary, but designed to give the voyager an intelligent interest in the manners, customs, industries, and institutions of the districts he is expl ring. Fos intending visitors to Norway especially, ➢lr. Spender a book will be welcome. It has, moreover, the decided advantage of com pression, clearness of style, and easy manageableness of bulk."— Daily Telegraph. "The volume perfectly fulfils its purpose. It is neat and cheap and contains in a small space a great quantity of very interesting matter, much of which will be novel, and all of which will be useful, not only to those who visit the places described, but to those who stay at home. Mr. Spender is an acute observer, a most industrious and judicious collector of facts, and an eloquent and graphic writer, and does ample justice to his subjects."— Yorkshire Post. --• "It deserves a welcome, this book we have so long uncon sciously been in search of. The itineraries themselves are to the intending excursionists a veritable benefaction. . . Altogether the book is one to carry in one's knapsack or valise during the happy time of our holiday excursion, and to give a place to on our book-shelves afterwards as a most pleasant remembrancer." " Fjord, Isle, and Tor' is a very delightful little book. The essay on Norway is particularly full of information, but the others are not far behind it in proportion to their length, and all are written in a genial spirit."—Globe. "Without being exactly a guide-book, it answers all the pur poses of one, and contains beside a vast quantity of information, all given in the most condensed form possible.' There is not a line of space wasted in fine writing, but the descriptions of scenery .bear witness to the author's genuine love and appreciation of the picturesque, just as his closely compressed facts and statements prove the practical and hardworking man of letters."—Man chester Courier. "From back to back 'Fjord, Isle, and Tor' is full of matter interesting equally to the tourist and the ordinary reader. It is written in an easy and pleasant style, and is well 'got up.'"— Eastern Morning News. " We cannot part with this fascinating little work without con gratulating Mr. Spender upon it. Addressed, as it more especially is, to travellers in Norway, the Channel Islands, and Cornwall, it is, nevertheless, a book that will afford the keenest gratifica tion to the general public. • . . As to its literary merits we need say nothing, the name of the author being sufficient guarantee on this point."—Western Mail. - V " The articles shew unusual power of observation, are full of genial gossip, and supply just what the excursionist wants- - reliable information."—Western Daily Press.

" Both to the beginner and the proficient in that study this work will be invaluable."—Daily Telegraph. "It is illustrated with life-size figures from nature of each species, and of the more striking varieties, and it possesses great advantages Over all similar works, inasmuch as the caterpillar of each moth, with his habits and season, is described. This, to collectors, will be an immense boon, and by its means they will be enabled to obtain many rare specimens."—Standard. "The completion of Mr. Newman' work on the British Moths is a benefit to entomologists of all classes. It is at once a text-book by a lalgh authority, most valuable for reference, and a handsome, taste fully got-up volume, which will be an ornament to any library or drawing-room table. It embodies the results of many years' earnest and intelligent work by one whose reputation as an ento mologist deservedly stands high. . . . . We notice also with satisfaction that Mr. Newman's descriptions, whilst thoroughly scientific and minute, are given in plain and unaffected English. With tho help of these and the very excellent woodcuts, even a very young collector may with ease identify any moth he may cap ture. The figures are so well drawn that there is no need of colour to render them life-like. . . . . We unhesitatingly commend this volume to our readers. We regard it as a very useful addition to our library." Land and Waler, Oct. 9. London—W. Twxanxg. 337. Strand. W.O. Just published, price is 6d., by post is.

She then dug up the money, and ran away with it—a trick which the Chicagoans consider about the best joke of the season." This is the first spiritualist miracle that will bear investigation. The burial of the dollars by the various families did really operate as a charm, for it enabled the medium to discover treasures — at any rate to the extent of 2,000 dollars. 'Guess she was a circulating medium. CRYSTAL PALACE.—One Shilling Day, Wednes day, July 27.—Admissions by season tickets, 1,482 ; ditto on payment, 3,511 ; t o t a l visitors, 4,993. ALLEGED EMBEZZLEMENT BY A BANK MANAGER. —On Monday night, much painful excitement was caused in Hereford by Mr. Richard Greenhow, jun., the manager of the Hereford branch of the West of England and South Wales Banking Company, giving himself up to Superintendent Davies, of the Here ford city police, on a charge of having embezzled the sum of £965, the moneys of the said bank. The prisoner was brought up on Tuesday morning before the Hereford magistrates sitting at the' Guildhall, when evidence was given by Mr. Marshall, the chief cashier from Bristol, to shew the deficiency mentioned. Tile entries in the cash book at the bank, however, appear' to•be in the hand writing of the cashier, Mr. Bellamy, who has absconded, and is being pursued by several detectives from Bristol. The prisoner Greenhow was remanded to Friday next. TIIE disclosures of the last twenty-four hours must have gone far to set at rest the doubts which some of our contemporaries cast upon the secret treaty draught published by the 7 imes. The authen ticity of the famous document seemed but too probable from the first ; all question concerning it is now reduced to the narrowest pro portions. That the document exists is positively certain. That Count BISMARCK is the person who gave it to the world is equally unquestionable, for, not to speak of other evidence, it simultaneously appeared in the Times and several continental papers including the Berlin Correspondence, which has the credit of being the Prussian statesman's own organ. The French semi-official papers make no doubt of the existence of this terrible paper; they do not, with the discreditable injustice of the Standard, stigmatise it as a forgery. Indeed, the Constitutionnel, whose relations with the French Government are of the closest, plainly states that it really exists, but that it is the work of Count BISMARCK. This question of origin, then, is all that remains to be decided. It offers no great difficulty. Of course, a positive decision must be deferred until the two Governments have giVen those explanations which Earl GRANVILLE has ere this demanded ; but there is some important circumstantial evidence 40-tvork upon, ancLilis-all. points in ..tons,..tlixectiou..-- It all goes to ;hew that the treaty emanated from the French Government; there is not an atom of proof to support the supposition that it came from Count BISMARCK. High admiration of the Prussian's virtues we have none ; but we know that he could not have produced such a. document, because he is too selfish and too worldly-wise a man. Ho did not forge the draught, since the French official state ment admits that it was the subject of pourparlers between him and the French Ambassador. If he proposed the scheme to France. why publish it now The authorship must be made known sooner or later, and then the discredit of the whole transaction would fall upon Germany. • It would transpire that the great Northern Confederation was so dependent upon the good will of France, that Belgium arid Luxem burg were to be sacrificed to gain it. It would appear that in order to secure the .EmoEitoll's'recog nition to recent changes in Germany the Prussian Government were willing to sacrifiCe the whole of an independent State, although the preservation of that SW e's independence was regarded as of- vital importance to England, and had been guaranteed by solemn treaties. Count BISMARCK 'is not a scrupulous man, but he has never shown himself willing to stoop to degradation, and greater degradation than this handing over of terri f-ory to France in return for a mere recognition it Is not easy to conceive. The bargain is utterly one sided. It all in favour of France. The EMPEROR gets a large increase of wealth, territory, and influence. Prussia gets that moral support which she has shown herself able to do without. The supposition of such a proposition coming from Berlin is utterly absurd. Three years ago Prussia had well-nigh come to blows with France because the latter desired to annex Luxemburg. Yet we are called upon to believe that just before this quarrel, Prussia voluntarily offered much more than the little corner of ground for which, in 1867, she was ready to fight. The EMPEROR may well have put forth such an offer. He has a high opinion of the value of his moral support, and is likely to have set a great price upon it. But that Prussia made the offer is a supposition which there is not a vestige of evidence to justify. As to the letter of M. OLLIVIER, published in the Times of yesterday, it is sufficient to note that it does not bear upon the question at all. M. OLLIVIER only says that the Cabinet of the 2nd of January (his own) had nothing to do with the treaty. Nobody supposes that it had. Amid the interest excited by this disclosure, the war papers just issued by the Government are likely to be regarded with less attention. The poor Hohenzollern has long enjoyed the safety of an ignominious obscurity, and it is natural that his affairs should prove of less interest in the presence of the Belgian annexation project. It is satisfactory, however, to know that the British Government neither failed to exert themselves for the preservation of peace, nor carriel their endeavours beyond prudential limits, The whole business was begun and culmi nated in war with terrible rapidity. It was on the sth of July that our Ambassador at Paris was . informed by the French FOREIGN MINISTER that the Spanish Ministry had adopted Prince LEOPOLD as a candidate for the crown, and that France would never tolerate his election, In fact, if it were persevered with, there would be war. Thus promptly warned, our Government at once took mea sures to ward off the danger. It did not recognise the pretensions of France, it could not allow that the election of Prince LEOPOLD would be attended with any danger to the equilibrium of Europe, still less that France had a rielt to inter fere in the private affairs of Spain. But it regarded the plain fact that the can didature had given grave dissatisfaction to France, and that the EMPEROR had pledged himself to fight, if it were not withdrawn ; and to avert this danger it advised that the scheme be abandoned. British intervention went no further. It is quite erroneous to state, as the Due BF GRAMONT did, that all Europe s y m pathised with Franc e . N o sympat h y was expressed on either side. The English Foreign Office addressed itself simply to avert a conflict. It was, of course, of no avail. It must be conceded that the Prussian Government displayed no great anxiety to prevept war, for it felt that the candidature was merely a pretext, and that a con flict was inevitable. It did not interfere in the dis pute; it forbade its ambassador at Paris to interfere. When the candidature was withdrawn, and everybody was hoping for peace, the Due de GRAMONT demanded that Prince LEOPOID be forbidden by the KING of PRUSSIA to resume his aspirations. That Sovereign refused, and then the end came.—Western Morning News. MARKETS. .LONDON CORN MARKET, WEDNESDAY.—The grain trade to-day has been in a very quiet state..

In financial circles especially the excitement has been great, though the better opinion seems to be that there will be no war, and that the diplomatists hf the old country will be able to arrange matters without a resource to arms. However gold, which closed on Saturday night at 112 a, opened on Monday morning at 115-1, showing that some apprehension was felt as to the result of the Spanish embroglio, and though the price has steadily de clined since then, there can be no question that the first shot fired on the Rhine would- send gold up to a high figure here, and create a still greater excitement in the busy haunts of Wall-street. In the end the war could not fail to be profitable to us, it would stimulate the de mand for Western breadstuffs; give renewed vitality to commercial commerce—which stands sadly in need of such stimulus—the value of railway stocks would rise in consequence of the increase in the carrying trade ; and, lastly, the country would be greatly benefited by the in flux of foreign capital, whether for safe investment or the purchase of produce. These things being Considered, it may be said that we do not dread the consequences of a war in Europe except possibly on humanitarian grouncl,9. But-if the prospect of trouble over the water has brought joy to some capitalists it has proved none the less a boon to the newspaper fraternity, always eager for a sensation, but seldom able to provide so superb a one as has been dished up to us daily for a week past, during the hot days of summer. They are making hay while the sun shines, and in the course of the afternoon many " extras" will be issued by eyery paper, containing cable despatches, which though as incomprehensible as the utterances of the fabled sphynx, are eagerly bought and read, and commented upon by the busy throng, which fill our down town streets. The latest telegrams indicate a peaceful settlement as probable, and announce a rise in French securities, but as you will have known precisely how the matter was settled, if et all, long Lef- , re this letter reaches you. I will not devote more space to its consideration, but proceed at once to things more properly within my baili wick. On Thursday last the man Sheridan, who killed his wife some time since because of her adultery with another man, was convicted of murder, and, though the jury recom mended him to mercy, sentenced to be hanged in August next. This is a harsh sentence, and generally condemned by the public voice, for though it will doubtless be coin muted by the Governor to imprisonment for life or for a term of years, nevertheless there was a every reason why the prisoner should have been acquitted. But Sheridan fell a victim to the indignation created by the result of the M `Farland trial, and will be made indirectly to pay the penalty of another's crime. There was no similarity between the two cases, however, for in the defence, very ably conducted by Mr. Edwin James, it was shown that the prisoner had been a good husband and uniformly kind to his wife, that he had supported her comfortably, and when in the army during the war had sent her not only his bounty, but the greater part of his pay, which money the wretched woman spent in company with het para mour. Indeed her conduct was proven to have been shameful throughout, and had it not been for the fact that the defence was based upon the hackneyed plea of insanity, I verily believe the prisoner would have been acquitted ; but the word insanity in connection with trial kr murder has an ugly sound nowadays, and therefore, while every man on the jury probably applauded the deed in his heart, they brought in the verdict above mentioned, and Sheridan was sentenced to be hanged. Juries are pro verbially stupid, but this one was even more lacking in acuteness of perception than the average, as you shall see. About an hour after they had retired the foreman sent a note to the judge inquiring what would be the effect of a verdict of guilty with a recommendation to mercy. - The Court answered that the Governor had power to change the sentence to imprisonment in the State Prison. Shortly after the jury returned to the court-room and rendered a verdict of guilty. The clerk then proceeded to call the roll, asking, according to form, "Is that your verdict ?" and all answered in the affirmative, the fifth adding, "But the jury recommended him strongly to mercy. The foreman forgot to mention that." Mr. James then asked for a delay of proceedings, but the Court refused to grant the motion, and proceeded to pass sentence on the prisoner. When this was over Mr. Bradshaw, the fifth juror mentioned, rose and said that they had understood that it was the foreman of the jury who could alter the sentence ; that they had stood stx for a verdict of guilty, with recommendation to mercy, and six with a verdict of manslaughter in the third degree ; end that it was on this understanding that they bad agreed, but they had none of them thought the sentence would be so severe. Judge Barnard replied that their finding would compel him and the District- Attorney, in their official capacities, to recommend a com mutation of the sentence, and that therein their wishes would be carried out, and thereupon the Court adjourned, leaving the impression upon the mind of the public that the case had been badly tried, and the prisoner harshly dealt with. A most imposing ceremony was the laying of the 'corner stone of St. Anne's Church on Sunday last. The new edifice will be erected on Twelfth-street, between the Third and Fourth Avenues, on the site lately occupied by a Jewish synagogue, but recently purchased by Father Preston, the pastor of St. Anne's, his congregation having greatly outgrown the capacities of the old church in Eighth-street. The new building will be of far greater proportions, and will present, when completed, a far more imposing appearance. Its style of architecture will be the pure Gothic of the sixteenth century; in size it will measure 64 by 165 feet. A plain four-story school-house will be erected in the rear of the church. The procession, which formed at the old church, appeared on the ground at about half-past six, and was composed of the Young Ladies of the Sodality dressed in white, the Young Men's Immaculate Conception, the Acolytes of St. Aloysius 4 with candles, censors, and the cross, the priests in their vestments carrying the holy chrism, and finally a number of temperance and benevolent societies headed by the 7th Regiment hand. The old synagogue had been entirely demolished, with the exception of the wall front ing on Twelfth-street, and behind this aplatform hadbeen erected. The procession on filing in took up their assigned positions, and the priests and acolytes pro ceeded to the raised stand. Of the reverend clergy there were .present Vicar-General Starrs, Fathers Preston, Hickie, Morrogh, and Healy, and the Rev. Dr. M'Sweeney of St. Patrick's Cathedral. There were also present a number of monks of the order of St. Francis and St. Dominic, making a total of about thirty priests. When all had assumed their places a psalm was chanted, and Father Storrs im mediately after proceeded to the south east corner of the church and commenced to bless the stone, sprink ling it with holy water, while the priests and acolytes sang the Litany of the Saints. A box containing coins, newspapers, and the usual record on parchment, giving the names of the President of the United States and the State Officers, besides a short sketch of the old St. Anne's, lovas then placed within the stone, and it was lowered into its place. When this ceremony ' was completed the procession made a circuit of the in tended edifice, chanting, and returning to the stone the View-General preached a short but most impressive sermon, taking for his text the line from Psalm cxxvi., verse 1, " Unless the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it." The discourse was listened to with devout attention by all within the enclosure, and by many, hundreds of persons on the house-tops adjoining. At the close the procession resumed its line of march, and retraced its steps to the old church in English street, where it was dismissed with the pastoral benedic tion. Father Preston is an American '.by birth, a gra duate of the Trinity College, Hartford, and a convert from the Episcopal Church. He is a man of great abili ties, and destined to play an important part in the history of the Church in this country. He is universally admired as a pulpit orator, and deservedly loved by his congrega tion as one of the best of men. Minor matters must be condensed in a final paragraph. The fight in the Republican ranks over the appointment of the collector of the port of New York has been settled by the confirmation of the Hon. Thomas Murphy by the Senate in an almost unanimous vote. Mr. Grinnell, the former incumbent, will fill the subordinate post of naval officer. Local politicians are vastly excited over these matters, which hardly possess enough interest for your readers to warrant me in giving them more than the merest mention. The persecution of the officers of the so-called Anti-gambling Society is still going on, an im mense ainount of testimony has been brought against them, and they will probably be convicted. The Rev. William Morely Punshon, the Methodist minister, who There was a very small attendance at the night resort, and but little betting took place over the Goodwood Cup. Sabinus was a warm favourite, 5 to 4 being offered on him, his opponents standing out for 6 to 4. Siderolite was the only other horse inquired after, but no definite business was done, offers of 5 to 2 against him failing to find takers. Nothing else was backed, 7 to 1 being offered " bar two."

Paganini showing in front for about fity yards, when he was passed by Indian Ocean, and Chivalry, who were almost head and head in advance of John Davis and lonia, Paganini lying up next followed by Nightjar, Capitaliste, and Miss Sheppard. Rattlepate and Sweet Sound bringing up the rear. Indian Ocean soon settled down with the lead, and before reaching the turn out of the straight he assumed a clear command, while John Davis ran into second place. To this pair now succeeded Paganini, Capitaliste, Cinderella, Chivalry, and Miss Sheppard, Nightjar and Sweet Sound being next, while Rattlepate kept dropping further behind. In this order they ran out of si o ,, ht—lndian Ocean going round the clump, about a mile nnd a half from the start, with a couple of lengths' lead of John Davis. On reappearing, Indian Ocean was still in front ; but about three quarters of a mile from home he was closed upon by Nightjar, Paga.- nini, and Capitaliste, the lot being in compact order, while John Davis was directly in trouble, and Chivalry and Cin derella also dropped back with their rearmost lot. Sweet Sound at this time drew up to the fore division, and as they rounded the bend into the straight Miss Sheppard came up next the rails. When fairly in th e straight Nightjar deprived Indian Ocean of the lead, and Paganini went on in attend ance, with Miss Sheppard on the whip hand, Capitalise in the centre, and Sweet Sound on the left. No change took place until half-way down the hill, when Nightjar was beaten, and Paganini took up the running, waited on each side by Miss Sheppard and Indian Ocean. The old horse, however, had the race in hand from the moment he assumed the command, and, holding his opponents safe to the end, won easily by three-quarters of a length. Half a length divided second and third, Sweet Sound, close up, being fourth, and Capitaliste fifth.
