THE WAR. ANOTHER SKIRMISH. A slight encounter took place on Tuesday, the 26th instant„ at the Rheinheim Bridge, between some French infantry and Bavarian Chasseurs. The French were re pulsed, and left one dead on the field. On the German side two pioneers were wounded. On the same day a reconnaissance was made in the neighbourhood of Hagenau by Count Zeppelin, an officer of the Wurtemburg staff, and three Baden officers, accom panied by four dragoons. The object of the reconnais sance was fully attained, but near Niederbronn the recon noitring party encountered a regiment of French Hussars, and were dispersed. Up to the present Captain Count Zeppelin has alone returned. According to the French accounts one of the officers accompanying Count Zeppelin was killed, and the others were taken prisoners. IMPENDING BATTLE. A letter, dated from the French frontier, 24th instant, three p.m., says that the general movements of the French troops now point to the speedy execution of some decisive act. An important reconnaissance was made on the enemy's territory on the night of the 25th. FRENCH SOLDIERS IN LUXEMBOURG. A telegram from Treves, in Rhenish Prussia, says that yesterday afternoon more than one hundred soldiers from the French camp at Sierck entered the village of Schengen, in Luxembourg. They remained there singing the " Marseillaise." AN AMERICAN LEGION. The Gaulois announces that the Government has autho rised the formation of an American Legion of 500 men for French service, all of whom are to be Americans, ex cepting the commander, who will be a Frenchman nomi nated by the Minister of War. WITHDRAWAL OF FRENCH TROOPS FROM ROME. A telegram from Rome states that the French troops have received orders to leave the Pontifical territory very shortly. In announcing this resolution to the Holy See the French Government represented the necessity of France having the services of all her available troops at this moment, and announeed that the Italian Govern ment, in conformity with the September Convention, would undertake to secure respect for the Pontifical terri tory on the Italian frontiers. The statement of the Gaulois is corroborated by a tele gram from the Paris correspondent of the Standard. It is added that Italy will form an alliance with France. A letter from Rome informs us that great alarm pre vails in the Pontifical States. On all the frontiers enrol ments are rapidly going on, especially at points such as Terni or Perugia, which were centres of action in 1867. "No great alarm," says our correspondent, " could be excited by this announcement but for the ominous silence of the French official organs on the Roman ques tion, and for the fact that two squadrons of Light cavalry were suddenly embarked on Saturday night from Civita Vecchia for Toulon in consequence of a despatch from the War Office to General Dumont, who commands the French occupatiou there." THE EMPEROR NAPOLEON. Advices from Metz state that the Emperor Napoleon is expected to reach that 'town this morning, and it is thought from the military movements which have re cently been made that a great battle will take place almost immediately afterwards. REPORTED PURCHASE OF BELGIAN ARMS BY THE FRENCH. A telegram from a correspondent in Berlin says : " There is a report here that the French Government is purchasing arms at Liege, in Belgium. The purchase is made, it is asserted, through an American, .and the pre text put forward is that the arms are for shipment to the United States." THE ENGLISH GOVERNMENT ACCUSED. The New York papers publish a despatch from Wash ington, stating that Baron Gerolt, the Prussian Minister, has received the following telegram from his Govern ment :—" Public opinion in England is favourable to North Germany, but the British Government is not favourable ; it acts with the Neutrality Laws against North Germany as it did against America with the Ala bama." THE SECRET TREATY.-THE PRUSSIAN VERSION. - The Correspondance de Berlin of Tuesday gives the -text of the treaty offered by France to Prussia, in which the former declares that she will not oppose the unification of Germany if Prussia would faci litate the acquisition by France of Luxembourg, and assist her in the conquest of Belgium. The Correspondance says the draft of the Treaty in question is in the hand writing of M. Benedetti, and is in the archives of the Minister for Foreign Affairs at Berlin. Already before the war of 1866 France had offered her alliance to Prussia with a promise to declare war against and to attack Austria with an army, of 300,000 men, provided that Prussia would consent to make certain territorial cessions o France on the left bank of the Rhine." THE FRENCH VERSION. The Journal Officiel of Tuesday says :—The Times has published an alleged treaty between France and Prussia, having for its object to facilitate the acquisition of Lux embourg and Belgium by France on condition that France would not oppose the union of the South German States with the North German Confederation. After the Treaty of Prague several negotiations in effect took place at Berlin between Count Bismarck and the French Embassy on the subject of a scheme of alliance. Some of the ideas contained in the document inserted by the Times were raised, but the French Government never had cog nisance of a written project, and as to the proposals that may have been spoken of in these conversations, the Emperor Napoleon rejected them. No one will fail to see in what interest and with what object it is now sought to mislead the public opinion of England. OFFICIAL FRENCH NEWS. An Imperial decree, dated July 23, appoints the Em press Regent during the absence of the Emperor with the army. Another decree dated the 16th instant declares the departments of the Moselle and the - Upper and Lower Rhine in a state of siege. A third decree calls out 90,000 men, who form the con tingent of the class of 1869. The Official Journal contra dicts as absurd a rumour circulated on the German side of the Rhine, that the Emperor had given an order to treat with extreme rigour the prisoners of war, without the benefit of international law. On the contrary the Emperor had recommended that prisoners should be treated with the greatest humanity. The O f ficial Journal recalls the provisions of Article 77 of the penal code, whereby any person in communication with the enemy or conspiring to furnish the enemy with money incurs the penalty of death. A circular of M. 011ivier to the Procureurs-Gtnlraux has been published replying to the attacks of tie press, and points out that the law does not pro hibit the announcement and recital of military events accom plished, and only forbids the revelation of movements preceding and preparing for action. A circular has been ad dressed to the archbishops and bishops in France, re questing that public prayers should be specially offered up or the Emperor, the Prince Imperial, and the success of the French arms. THE PARIS PAPERS AND THE WAR. The editors of the Paris papers announce that, in pub lishing their correspondents' letters from the head quarters of the various corps d'armee, they suppress any thing that, if published, might render them liable to pro secution, under the recent Ministerial order. The letters are therefore devoid of all interest as records of the mili tary operations. The papers continue to protest against the arbitrary and sweeping nature of the official prohibi tion against the publicatfon of war news, and represent that it will be impossible to enforce it. The Journal des Debats ceusures the exceeding brevity of the official news pf the cavalry skirmish at Niederbronn, and con demns its omission to mention whether or not the French cavalry sustained any loss. THE PRUSSIAN GOVERNMENT AND THE ENGLISH PRESS. Special information has reached the Daily News from Berlin that the Prussian Government does not intend to follow the policy of exclusion towards correspondents of the English press which has been adopted by the French Emperor. Germany has of course as much to lose as France from indiscreet disclosures of military movements, but she evidently does not fear that such disclosures will be made by the accredited representatives of English journalism. The public may therefore rest assured that they will have full and impartial accounts of the opera tions of the Germany forces from independent observers dhspatched to the scene of action by the press of this country. SPAIN AND FRANCE. The correspondent of the Telegraph says :—The Due tie Gramont's reference to Spain in his recent circular is severely commented on at Madrid, and the Government has resolved to ask for explanations. Spaio is tranquil. THE RIGHT OF NAVIGATION. The following despatch, of which a copy has been ad dressed by Count Bismarck to her Majesty's Ambassador at Berlin, has been sent to us from the Foreign-office : " Berlin, July 23, 1870. "M. l'Ambassadeur.—l hasten, in answer to the esteemed note which I had the honour to receive from your Excellency yesterday, to inform you that the lards hid down in the Paris Declaration of April 16, 1856, re specting the right of navigation in time of war, are legally valid throughout the whole of the States of the North German Confederation, and will certainly be respected by the North German Confederation during the present war.—l avail, &c., (Signed) "Lord A. Loftus." "" BISXARCZ. The following royal decree has been published at Berlin decree respecting the capture and seizure as prize of war French merchant vessels, July 18, 1870. " We, William, by the Grace of God, King of Prussia, decree in the name of the North German Confederation as follows : " French merchant vessels shall not be subject to be captured or seized as prizes of war by vessels of the royal navy of the Confederation. This rule does not of course apply to those vessels which would be subject to capture or seizure if they were neutral vessels. Given, &c., Signed, " WILHELM. " V. BISMAIICK. " Berlin, July 18, 1870." Serious inundations have taken place in Eastern Bengal. The Porte has prohibited all demonstrations of troops on the frontier. M. de Bouree, the French Ambassador, left Constantinople yesterday for Paris ti Vienna. In the Italian Chamber of Deputies a motion has been made, censuring the foreign policy of the Government. A vote of confidence was passed by 168 against 103 votes. THE SECRET TREATY, PARIS, TUESDAY. A topic of discussion of no small interest has arisen at last. Yesterday we were all languishing under a sense of pro found, but helpless irritation at the determined attitude of the Government in prohibiting the publication of war news, and under an equally profound and helpless sense of ennui at the utter absence of intelli gence denoting progress. To-day we are startled out of stupor by a most serious event. The Secret Treaty published by the Times is indeed a sensation. We have no proof of its authenticity, but the evidence in its favour is so great that we have every reason to feel alarm. Nor are the expressions of public opinion here at all reassur ing. Whilst the higher-class Liberal papers regard this document with unfeigned doubt—whilst they make no secret of their belief that, if genuine, it will bring shame and discredit upon France, the Government papers publish a ridiculing, rollicking denial which is far from satisfactory. Some of them evidently regard the treachery and injustice involved in the con quest of Belgium as no great matter after all. In fact they are not at all sure that France has not behaved with remarkable and unreasonable generosity in refraining so long from annexing the little State. In the first place it should be observed that the treaty was not telegraphed here at all on the morning of its publication. • The Agence "lavas often sends doubtful news, or obnoxious news (which amounts to the same thing), with a comment or a note of discredit attached. But it ignored this document alto. gether. We knew nothing of it until it arrived with the newspapers from England. Now that it has come it meets with a sorry reception. The Liberte calls the treaty a pure invention of Count Bismarck, who, on this occasion, has made a tool of the Times. The draught was written out by a poor devil of a fellow who was formerly a reader in a Frankfort printing office, and is now the confidential editor to the Chancellor of the North German Confederation. M. de Savigny, formerly the intimate friend of Count Bismarck, but now a little in the shade, has been the coadjutor in the noble work; and the Times finishes off the job. It would be absurd, says the Libert6, to seriously deny such a wretched invention; Count Bismarck him self only put it forth as a joke. He thought he would make fun of the bourgeois of the British capital ; he was merely ridiculing the English statesmen who for the last fifteen days have esp sed more or less discreetly the cause of innocent and pacific Prussia—of Prussia and Count Bismarck representing Right and Moderation. Then this genteel writer proceeds to make some fine disclosures out of his own private resources. Everybody, says he, who has any pre tensions whatever to acquaintance with contem porary events must know full well that Count Bismarck for three years, from the day when Francis Joseph pre sided over the German princes at Frankfort to the eve of Sadowa, did not cease to offer France Belgium. At Biarritz the Prussian statesman implored France to take Belgium ! The request has been renewed goth at Paris and Berlin; in fine, if we are to believe this writer, Count Bismarck has for years past laboured under profound de solation and despair at the refusal of France to occupy Brussels. So much for the Libertes style of dealing with the secret treaty. If anything were calculated to make one believe that the treaty was true, it is such ignorant, false, and absurd talk as this. The Constitutionnel says the treaty really exists, but it is the work of Bismarck. Immediately after Sadowa, when France preferred the demand for compensation in the shape of a: slice of the Rhine frontier, Bismarck answered that instead of speak: ing of compensation, France ought to take Belgium. It is a new proof of the cynicism of the Prussian that at the risk of receiving the lie direct, he should attribute to the Emperor Napo leon projects of spoliation conceived by himself. This ingenious paper, with many of its contemporaries, seems to forget that Count Bismarck is scarcely the man to commit an act of folly of this stupendous nature, to accuse the French Government of one of his own treacherous manoeuvres. They forget, too, that the benefits sketched out in this treaty are almost all reserved for France. The Patric also sees in this act of publication a Prussian manceuvre for the purpose of frightening England, and of influencing her against France. The very fact that the document was published in the Indepeudance Beige at the same time that it appeared in the Times is sufficient to indicate the object desired to be attained. (The Independance Belqe expressed its disbelief in the authen ticity of the draught). These quotations will serve to shew that the statements of the French semi-official press— and the Patrie,Constitutionnel, and Liberte are all more or less semi-official—are far from reassuring. These noisy refer ences to the duplicity of Bismarck mean nothing. A single assurance that the honour of the French Government is above such a scheme would be far better than these anti- Prussian explosions. But no such assurance is given in any paper. The Liberal Journal des Debats and the Temps both publish the draught without comments. The Republican Siecle hopes that the charge against the French Government is calumnious. Should it prove true, it adds, France will remain convicted of a scandalous outrage on the rights of neutral States and on the faith of treaties. As all war news is henceforth to be confined to the bul letins of the Journal Officiel, we have, not unnaturally, looked with some anxiety for the first speci men. It is far from satisfactory. It tells uit that+ General de Bernis has met with and beaten a reconnoit ring party before Niederbronn. What was the force of that party, what the force of the French troops which re pulsed it, whether the French side lost any men, and even the time or day of the occurrence, are all important matters on which the Journal Officiel sheds no light. We are in great hopes that the next communication will be a trifle more precise. THE FRENCH FLEET. CHERBOURG, MONDAY. The visit of the Empress to Cherbourg is the most in teresting topic here to-day. Her Majesty visited the Admiral's frigate, the Surveillante, on board of which Vice-Admiral Bonet Willaumez presented to her all the chief officers of the ironclad fleet. After the presentation was completed, the Empress, her voice chewing great emotion, read the proclamation of the Emperor to the Fleet amid the profoundest silence. M ass was then performed on board the Surveillante, the Admiral and the principal officers of the squadron being present. They afterwards breakfasted with the Empress, who inspected the harbour from her vessel, mid afterwards embarking in the. CulignSr; went out bo sea for an hour. Dinner was served bn board the Savoie, and thirty-five covers were laid, the civil and TEIE 61IN, LONDON, THITIISDAY JULY 28, 1870. military authorities of Cherbourg being invited. At eight o'clock the Empress took the special train in. the port itself, so as to regain the Paris line without crossing the town. She was accom panied by 'General Mollard, the two daughters of the Duchess of Alba, and several attendants. Accord ing to the orders received, the Empress was not saluted by the artillery, and the only decorations assumed by the ironclads were their flags flying at the mast heads. Troops continue to arrive but slowly, though no efforts are spared to get the transports ready. Prince Napoleon has surrendered his yacht the Prince Jerome to the public service. She has put into this port for the purpose of being disarmed and transformed. into a war ship. It is likely that from her speed she will be one of the spies of the fleet. WRECKS ON THE YORKSHIRE COAST. The schooner Mary Jane, of Sunderland, struck on Whitby Rock during a dense fog, on Tuesday night. The lifeboat Lucy, belonging to the National Lifeboat In stitution and stationed at this place, was, however, the means of bringing the vessel and her crew of four men safely into harbour. The brig Counder, of Scarborough, an the schooner True Blue have become wrecks, but fortunately their crews have been saved by fishing coblera. THE DREADFUL COLLIERY EXPLOSION IN GLAMORGANSHIRE. Th© latest report from the Charles Pit, Llansamlet, where the dreadful explosion occurred, the particulars of which appeared in our columns of Tuesday, throws but little additional light upon the cause of the catastrophe. The colliery has always been worked by naked and it was considered one of tue safest pits in the district for working. The general opinion is that gas must have accumulated in the old goafs or workings, and that a sudden escape of gas came in contact with the naked lights, and hence the ter• rible explosion. Tie seam of coal that was worked is not considered by any means fiery ore, which supports the view that the gas must have escaped from the old workings. Mr. Wales, the government inspector of mines for the district, has made a careful inspection of the colliery, and the result of his observations will be made known at the Inquest No additional deaths have occurred., but there are several serioasly injuredd,. The inquest has been for mally opened and %Mourned. TEE TROUBLES OF SPECIAL CORRE SPONDENTS. The Pima's correspondent, writing from Metz, gives up all hope :—I am now reluctantly compelled to abandon my last hope of any chance of describing either battles or even the preparations for war. In answer to my final appeal for a sauf cond u it, I y es t er d a y received from Marshal Bazaine a polite letter informing me that it was out of his power to comply with my request after the " formal orders issued by the Emperor," that no journalist whatever, French or foreign, was to be permitted to accompany the army. It is a question how long we shall be permitted to remain anywhere near it. If any of the stray scraps of intelligence about the movements, or guesses more or less ingenious about the plan of the cam paign, which find their way into the newspapers are con sidered by the French Government as likely to he of value to the enemy, all journalists will pro bably at once be ordered either to cease writing about the army or to retire from the frontier. The publica tion by a French newspaper of any such information is, as you doubtless know already, treated as a special offence, rendering the culprit liable to imprisonment and a heavy fine. The French press is naturally very angry at this severe treatment, and contrasts M. 011ivier's arbitrary conduct, as they consider it, with that of the Prussian Minister, who respectfully requests" all journalists to observe the utmost possible caution in discussing the movements of their army. As a question of politeness, the Prussians may have the best of it, but, as regards the substance of the order, their journalists are, perhaps, in even a worse position than the French since they are requested, whether "respectfully " or otherwise does not, after all, materially matter, to publish no news whatever about the movements of the force, however harmless and insignificant it may appear to them. This is, I believe, the first campaign since the "War Correspondent " can be , considered to have come into existence in which it has been attempted so strictly to muzzle the Press. In the Crimean, the Franco- Austrian, the Dano-German, the Prusso-Austrian campaigns, correspondents, if not always ex actly allowed facilities, were at least tole rated, and hence they have been very hard of belief that the Emperor will really enforce on this occasion the severe restrictions against the represen tatives of the Press. There are journalists here in Metz who still cling to the hope that at the last moment they will not be prevented from following the army. I can only wish their expectations may be realized, but, owing to information I have received almost direct from the highest source, I have myself renounced all hope. The Emperor feels that the encounter with Prussia will be a " lutte serie-use,"and that he cannot afford to give the enemy even the slightest and apparently most superficial ad vantage, while he believes that the assistance furnished to the opposite side by a band of correspondents in the French camp, eagerly reporting whatever news they can pick up, would be by no means slight. In the war with Austria, I have his statement on the best authority, he himself more than once obtained valuable intelligence as to the enemy's movements from the German papers. If on these grounds, therefore, the French Go vernment persist in their refusal to recognise War Correspondents, it is not easy to see how one can fairly censure them, and yet the refusal places correspon dents near the seat of war in a most embarrassing and unpleasant position. One must either abstain from giv ing the sort of information which the public at home naturally desire—all local military information about the movements of troops and the progress of the preparations of war—or one must consent to play a 1.41 e which bears a disagreeable re semblance to that of the spy. I have, after due reflection, and with considerable reluctance, resolved to adopt the former course, and henceforth your readers must kindly consider me as in no sense a War Correspon dent—uless, of course r the Emperor does at the last moment recognise the Press—but as simply a tourist who happens to be travelling near the seat of war, and who takes advantage of the interest which the war lends to incidents, otherwise, perhaps, commonplace enough, to write occasionally a descriptive letter about them. MELANCHOLY SUICIDE OF A YOUNCt LADY. A distressing ease of suicide was inquired into by Mr. Richards, the deputy coroner, at the " Bell and Hare " Tavern, Tottenham. It appeared that the deceased was a young lady named Miss Alice Agnes Crook, aged 19 years, daughter of Mr- George Crook, 7, Lavinia-grove, Islington, a parchment manufacturer. On Friday last she left her home to go to a draper's shop to purchase a dress for her mother. She ap peared to be in good spirits, but was not seen alive after by her parents and family. The father and sister of the deceased deposed that they were not aware that deceased had formed any attachment. When she was leaving the house on Friday she said, "I shall not be gone long." Her body was discovered in the New River at Wood Green. Her dress pocket was filled with granite stones. One of the witnesses saw deceased at two o'clock on Saturday, walking along the bank of the New River, crying bitterly and looking very excited. The medical evidence showed that the actual cause of death was di-owning, but that de ceased had been recently violated. Verdicb, " Suicide while in a state of temporary insanity." CONCENTRATION OF THE FRENCH--The special correspondent of the Daily News, writing from 11Ietz, expresses a high opinion of the forwardness of French preparations :—I have read of a certain number of bat talions being sent forward, and of others remaining behind, but as far as I can judge the French are evacuating every garrison en masse. I put 400,000 down as the lowest number the Emperor means to have under his hand, and in complete communication, at the entrance of the cam paign,-and I believe the concentration to be now within forty-eight hours of completion. The number of guns will be large, but they will not be adequately horsed; the cavalry, also, will not bear a high proportion—probably under one-tenth of the infantry. The whole of these troops are in a magnificent state of discipline, and the officers are much more numerous than those of the Prussians. The French artillery was superior to the Austrian at Solferino, the Austrian to the Prussian at Konigratz ; there is no doubt of the Chassepot being a better weapon than the Prussian arm. I can hardly be lieve in the Prussians having yet been able to effect such a concentration of strength as the French have cer tainly done, and believe that on the opening of the cam paign, either with or without a battle, the Prussians must retire behind the Rhine. RAILWAY MANAGEMENT IN FRANCE.-1 he rail way system of moving troops is excellent as far as it goes, and the manner in which the troops enter and leave the carriages is quiet and satisfactory indeed; when I asked leave of a French officer to view some troops embarking, in politely declining, tried to lessen my disappointment by saying that there was nothing to see—that the troops just sat down in the carriages. Of course, what I had desired to observe was, how this very absence of friction had been effected. At the larger stations, where there are several side lines, I have since seen that they load the trains often on a side track, and then shunt it on to the main line. This is especially the case with artillery trains, and all those containing horses. Although the military arrange ments—that is, the entering of the trains and the packing of the trucks—are superbly managed, I am by no means certain that the maximum amount of trains which an English first-class manager would get out of the lines in a spurt is even nearly approached. It cannot be a want of rolling stock that causes this, for I have passed huge quantities of it at dozen of stations. I believe it to be that they have not at the head of the railway manage ment men accustomed to squeeze the amount of traffic into a few hours, whom race meetings, Easter Mon days and volunteer fights educate with us. Indeed, had we to effect a similar concentration by rail—while we would do well to study carefully the system of - loading adopted by our neighbours—l think our railway colonels would not be contented with themselves if they could not increase the small speed at which the trains run here—as the civilian trains in which I have voyaged always lost about 15 per cent. on ordinary French time, and yet caught up at the stations many of the military trains ; nor would the directors of our traffic feel satisfied if they could not much increase their number.—Daily News Correspondent. THE NOISE IN EUROPE. The news from Europe still rings with the " loud alarums "of national defiance. " France will not bo satisfied " unless Prussia does what it is very certain that Prussia will not and cannot do ; and "if France persists England will exhaust all means to prevent war." So here are three of the great Powers already actively in this difficulty, with several lesser ones shadowed forth as possibilities of the entanglement. From. Spain comes a bravado characteristic of the Government that has named and thrown away every possible creature of which a king could be made, but now fiercely insists it will have the King that somebody says it shall not have. From Denmark we hear a natural note of rejoicing at the possibility that Prussia may get well pounded. Austria observes a reticence that covers every thing but indifference to the dispute, and Italy, though she gives no sign, is doubtless weighing whether her obli gations to France are not overbalanced already at Rome, and also how she would like once more to see the Austrians in Lombardy. No Power can be neutral in this war if the war comes; and the map of Europe may be a startling thing to see when the war is over. From the main trouble Russia will keep her hands free. Why? So that while they are all occupied she can slip down and feel the sick man's pulse at Constantinople. With Russia aside, then, Prussia has Austria on one hand, France on the other, and a little hornet's nest on the Danish frontier. Prussia, therefore, must meet France on the Rhine with a divided attention, and Aus-. tria can try the quarrel postponed from Sadowa with a much better prospect, from the fact that France comes in on her left. England clearly is with Prussia, since she so loudly pronounces already against the course of France. She will "exhaust all means to prevent war." One means of preventing war is to array on one side so much power that the contest is necessarily desperate on the other side. She will, then, apparently do that. So the disposition is, Prussia, England, Spain, Belgium, Hol -1 anl—perhaps Switzerland—against France, Austria and Denmark, with Italy afraid to help Prussia for fear of Austria, and afraid to help France for fear of a revolu tion and a popular rush for Rome. " Republican or, Cos sack in fifty years !" Has the time come ?—New York Herald. The death is announced of" one of the oldest and most respected clergymen of the diocese of St. David's the Rev. D.

FROM THE WAIL MINISTRY OF Pnussm.----Trials which have been made with Thorley's Food for Cattle, at the request of the Royal Ministry of War, by different divisions of troops, have terminated very favourably, confirming that the same, as an addition to the ration of oats, that is to say, as a means of keeping up the condition, is of very great assistance, particularly for horses suffering from bad digestion, or such as have gone back in reeding condition. Berlin•—War Ministry, Military.—Economical Deputation.—(Signed), MEeSkRSOMIIIrr, Privy Councillor of War and General Commissary of Stores. (Signed), 11Eauto, Ckeperal Major, THE CASE OF THE WELSH JEWESS. Mr. Lyons, the father of Esther Lyons, whose case attracted so much attention at Cardiff some months since, has written to the editor of the Western Mail explaining the circumstances under • which he abandoned the action against Mr. and Mrs. Thomas, Mr. and Mrs. Hallyer, and Mrs. Keef, for the abduc tion of his daughter. He accuses the opposite party of deceivinc , him, and keeping his child from him, and exults in the strong expression of opinion on the part of the judges of the Court of Queen's Bench. Immediately after the appeal to that Court the defen dants proposed a compromise, each party paying his own expenses and Mr. Lyons withdrawing his appeal. To this he agreed, the defendants giving a written promise that they would not attempt to influence Miss Lyons as to her future course. A long correspondence ensued, and it was arranged that Mr. Lyons should meet his daughter at the solicitor's office, but the interview was postponed, and finally refused by the defendants. Mr. Lyons, who writes with considerable bitterness, says that he, there fore, became convinced proceedings at civil law were virtually useless. THE BENNETT PROSECUTION. The judgment delivered on Saturday, according to the Church Herald, by Sir R. Phillimore in the case against Mr. Bennett is a cause for deep thankfulness. We have all alon g reprehended the very great laxity of expression used by Mr. Bennett, which gave quite needlessly a great advantage to those who deny the Real Pre sence, but a decision against the main points of his teaching would have boen most injurious to all who believe in the doctrine itself. Sir R. Phillimore entered in an elaborate manner into the various points, and while severely condemning Mr. Bennett's laxity of ex pression and erroneous statements in the first edition of his work, gave him full credit for the retractation evidenced by his emendations in later editions. His exposition of the Catholic teaching of our Church is able, learned, lucid, and thoroughly satisfactory. The evidence he brings forward is most conclusive as to the breadth of opinion rightly allowed by the English Church within those limits needfully laid down by Catholic Tradition. He ably points out that while a certain attempt to . define the manner of Christ's presence is condemned under the term Transubstantiation, the reality of that Presence is plainly set forth, and the Zuinglian notion of a mere com memorative rite utterly repudiated. His exposition of the reception by the wicked was especially lucid, and well supported by undeniably weighty quotations. The explicit statement that it is not unlawful to teach " the objective, actual, and Real Presence, or the Spiritual Real Presence—a Presence ex ternal to the act of the Communicant," as also the adoration of Christ present in the Sacrament, covers a large part of the case. The remark that to condemn this latter would be to condemn a long list of illustrious divines who have adorned our universities and fought the battle of the Church from Ridley to Keble, comes as'a heavy blow to those who accuse us of a novelty in asserting the prac tice to be a duty. THE THUNDERS fOl3l OF TUESDAY. It appears that during the storm of Tuesday morning, a woman named Mary Bulpin, aged 54, a widow, residing in the Wandsworth-road, Peckham, was struck by the lightning, and so hurt that but little hopes are entertained of her recovery. It is stated that shortly after midnight of Monday, in consequence of some difference with parties in the house where she lived, the woman left her home, accompanied by Thomas Hunter, aged 54, a salesman of Covent Garden. They seem to have walked about for the remainder of the night, and about seven o'clock made their way on to Clapham Common. Near the Island Pond they stopped. The storm coming on, they repaired to a tree surrounded by a seat. The woman sat down, and the man stood by her with his left foot upon the seat. In the midst of the storm the lightning struck them. The man describes the shock as some thing fearful. lie fell, and for some little time remained insensible. On coming to himself, he found the woman lying near him, with the whole of her clothes on fire. She had been struck upon the face, the lightninc , passing down her body. Two other persons were likewise down, but sustained no injury beyond the shock. They immediately came to the assistance of the man and woman, and medical aid was procured. Ultimately they were conveyed to St. Thomas's Hospital, and attended by Mr. Thomas, the house surgeon, who found the woman to have sustained such dreadful injuries that some doubts are entertained as to her recovery. Her hair is singed,and her face, neck,chest, legs and other parts of her body fearfully burned. The lightning appears to have been attracted by the steel stay busk and crinoline, the former being completely fused and the latter twisted and broke into small pieces. The whole of her clothes were destroyed. The man was found to be severely injured about the feet and legs. A man named Henry Fisher was struck by lightning whilst passing along Wimbledon Common, and remained some time insensible. He is not, however, seriously injured. Admiral Erskine will to-day ask the Attorney- General whether a French or Prussian merchant ship, now in a British port, if purchased bona fide by a British subject, and duly registered, would he exempt from liability to capture, as being indisputably British pro perty. Another case of rattening has occurred at Sheffield. Three grinders, who rented steam power in the grinding wheel of Messrs. Marsden and Co., Bridge-street, Shef fiield, have had their wheel-bands stolen, it is supposed because they were non-society men. The police have, as yet, gained no clue to the ratteners. HOSPITALITY ON THE WAY.—The correspondent of the Standard describes the enthusiastic hospitality displayed by the people to the troops on their way between Strasburg and Wissemburg : Our train, although allowed to take other passengers, was chiefly filled wirh officers and soldiers, destined either for Hagnenau or for the front. At every station the plat form was crowded with people. At Bischwillen, a station only 15 _miles from Strasburg, there was a dense crowd of men, women, and children. It was just the dinner hour, and the workmen and workwomen had all turned out from the cloth factories to greet the passing train. But the greeting was not confined to mere words or cheers. Men, boys, and even girls and young women, came to the carriages with baskets on their arms full of bread, of cooked meat, of hard boiled eggs, and of sausages, while others carried round glasses and cans of beer, and filled not only glasses for those who could drink, but flasks for those who chose. I saw beer spilt and wasted almost like water, and bottles being handed about, which contained, unless I am very much mistaken, stronger liquors than beer. In vain the officers shouted out of their windows, begging the people to desist from the further pursuit of their well-meant hospitality. In vain, too, one or two civilians, who were hot and thirsty, begged for a glass of beer. The idea of feeding. the soldiers had gained posses sion of the people, and neither officer nor civilian could gain his point. That similar enthusiasm exists through out the whole of South-Eastern France I have very good reason to know. The aide-de-camp of the general of the division which marched into Haguenau on this day as sured me that the entire march of the division from the South of France had been like a triumphal procession. The towns had all organised their societies for assisting the troops, and, the municipal authorities and the chief gentle men vied with each other and with the ladies in proffering hospitality to officers and men. THE ICE QUESTION. HUDSON, N.Y., July 13. The difficulty, as far as concerns the thirty-eight car loads of ice that were seized by the Sheriff at the depot of the Boston and Albany Railroad Company in this city, has been adjusted by the Washington Ice Company giving bonds in the sum of $4,000 to the Boston and Albany Railroad Company, and the Railroad Company giving bonds to the Sheriff of the county in a like sum. The Sheriff had the ice stored on board the Washington Ice Company's barge, and it has since been removed, and the barge towed to Athens, where it is now finishing its cargo. The Knickerbocker barges are still holding their position at the railroad dock, awaiting the arrival of another cargo, when the war will probably be•again renewed. THE REDEEMING WORK OF THE SESSION, The Tax and Tariff Rill is out of jeopardy at last. The Conference Committee, which has been some days engaged in the consideration of details, yesterday adjusted its differences, and its report was adopted by both Houses. Mr. Sherman fixes the amount of tax reduction effected by the bill at seventy-six millions. The enactment of this measure is the redeeming work of the session. It is not perfect, either in its principle or its range. It pro longs taxes which should have been repealed, and in its tariff clauses it violates the principles which should govern all revenue reform. For these reasons it cannot be accepted as evidence of the familiarity of our legislators with economic science, or of uniform regard for the wishes of the people in preference to the sinister interest of monopolists. A little more boldness on the part of Mr. Schenck and Mr. Sherman would have given us- fl reduction of a hundred millions, instead of seventy-six, without embarrassing the Government or imperilling the public credit. With all these defects, however. the bill is a boon for which the whole community will be grateful. It lightens pereeptibly the load under which enterprise and industry have staggered. It arrests the Treasury policy which has sacrificed everything to a Quixotic desire to diminish an unmatured debt. It commits the Republican party to a policy of fiscal amendments which, thoroughly effected, will infuse fresh blood into the trade of the country, and increase its prosperity. Had Congress closed the session without affording the relief which this bill provides, the Republican party would have been required to wage an up-hill fight in the Fall campaign. The odium arising from continued indifference to an urgent and universal demand would have entailed defeat in many districts. The reduction of taxes is, then, a successful stroke of stra tegy as well as a wise measure of relief. It opens a new page of the Republican record, and will be a source of marked benefit in the canvass. It will be hailed by tax payers everywhere as evidence that their wants have not been overlooked, and as a pledge of further retrenchment and reform.—New York Times of July 14th. THE SESSION. The session of Congress now near its close will not be remembered for its statesmanlike achievements, nor even for its contributions to the glory and strength of the Re. publican Party. The work thus far finished does not present a very imposing appearance. The admission of Virginia, Mississippi, and Texas has brought us to the last stage of reconstruction—Georgia alone remains to be restored. A Currency bill has been passed to meet the wants of the South and .West, but clogged with provisions which largely detract from the efficacy of the relief that it professes to afford. The census has been provided for, but in a manner which inspires slender confidence in its reve lations ; the whole plan is crude, and the machinery supplied not equal to the emergency. The unfinished business embraces matters of the highest importance. Whether it be completed as it should be, or be marred by blundering and obstinacy, or be sacrificed altogether as an offering to either Chamber, is the problem on whose solution the redeeming characteristics of the session ob viously depend. The Tax . and Tariff Bill heads the list. The bill might have been worse, and ought to have been better. It rests upon no intelligible principle, and so far as it relates to customs' duties is flagrantly wrong. But, with all its defects, it affords a relief to the taxpayers which will not be unappreciated. The Funding Bill is by comparison insignificant. Unless divested of provision for foreign agencies, which the Senate favour, and of provisions which confer upon the Secretary a dangerous discretionary power, as sustained by the House, its defeat would be preferable to its enactment. Of pending appropriation bills this cannot be said. The loss of that relating , to the Indians would be a calamity and a dis grace. And the loss of the Georgia bill would be worth thousands of votes to the Democratic Party. Of measures rejected, the Franking Bill is a conspicuous example. For the retention of th costly privilege, we must thank the senate. The failure to provide for civil service reform, for general amnesty, and for the continua tion of the invaluable service rendered by Special Com missioner Wells, will be remembered to. the discredit of the session. On the other hand, we cannot forget that to temptations of no common sort the House has been supe rior. The virtue of the Senate may not be without taint; the House has spurned subsidising schemes, and, but for the tariff sections of the Tax Bill, might be said to have yielded no tribute to monopolies.—New York Times. REAR-ADMIRAL DAHLGREN. The death of Rear-Admiral John A. Dahlgren will leave a gap in our navy which cannot readily be filled. He, more than any one man, contributed to give to our naval ordnance the prestige it so long held, for even before the late rebellion, United States war vessels were armed with heavier guns, better mounted, then could be found in any other navy in the world. Admiral Dahlgren entered the service forty - five years ago, and soon turned special attention to the study of ordnance and gunnery. To these branches of the service he devoted himself with unswerving fidelity throughout his entire life. While yet a lieutenant, he invented the light 12-pounder boat howitzer and gun-car riage, which bear his name, and by this achievement at once established his reputation as an ordnance officer of attainments and practical ability. As a reward for this invention, he was assigned to ordnance duty, and by a special act of Congress was allowed to draw the pay of the next grade higher than that which he actually held by commission. We believe that this is the only case in which such an honour has been con ferred upon an United States naval officer. Availing himself of the facilities he enjoyed in his new post, Dahlgren began ex . pei imenting with large guns, and soon obtained the permission of the Government to build a nine-inch and an eleven-inch shell gun. He was successful in both of these attempts also, and so perfect was his plan of construction that the guns which he had only intended to throw shells were found equal to the strain of solid shot as well. He also intro duced a new pivot carriage, on which to mount his eleven inch gun. He commanded the Plymouth, the first vessel which ever sailed with nine-inch broadside and eleven inch pivot guns. He also made improvements in our shrapnel shot, and prepared most complete tables of ranges and sights for all classes of naval guns ; and, indeed, it would be difficult to estimate or enume rate all the improvements he introduced in naval ordnance, for there is little connected with that branch of the service which he did not seek to render better than he found it. As a brother officer said, in speaking of him, "he reduced the mathematics of gun making to the simple rule of thumb, so that any one could make a gun or shot by following his directions." Admiral Dahlgren was a thoughtful student, but he was also a good manager of men, and had the reputation of getting better returns of work from a band of artificers than any other ordnance officer in the service. His distinguished services in the Ordnance Department gained forhim the reward of a vote of thanks from Con g ress , and promotion to the grade of rear-admiral upon the reorganisation of the navy in 1863. His principal command during the war was that of the South Atlantic Blockading Squadron, operating against Charleston. In this capacity he con stantly made his headquarters on one or other of the monitors, and was always found in the leading ironclad whenever an advance was made. In passing from one vessel to another in an open boat, as he frequently did in a fight, he was often in imminent risk of destruction ; but at such times he seemed to heed the enemy's shot as little as he did those of his own guns at the experimental battery he had established at Washington. It was while in command of this squadron that he met General Sherman after his march to the sea, and subsequently aided that officer in taking Sa vannah. In personal appearance Admiral Dahl gren was of medium height, of slight but wiry build, with a clear gray eye of remarkable penetration. He was all his life a student, and to a strarlger his manner was often somewhat reserved ; but with his friends he was a free and agreeable converser, and especially de lighted to talk of his profession with all who could im part, or desired to receive, information. Since the war he served a full term of two years as commandant of the South Pacific Squadron, and upon his return was again made Chief of Ordnance. He was relieved of the duties of that position at his own request, and assigned to the command of the Washington Yard, where he could still pursue his experiments in gun nery. Admiral Dahlgren had • three sons in the war, one of whom, Ulric, gained considerable distinction as a colonel of cavalry, meeting with a hero's death in a raid near Richmond. The Admiral married his second wife some five years ago, and leaves by her two or three young children. Although he spent a considerable por tion of his life at sea, he was always a great sufferer from sea-sickness, so that he has been known to have, from this cause, a headache for twelve months continuously. He never, however, ,allowed his personal discomforts to in fluence him in his intercourse with his officers, to whom he was always the strict commander, but at the same time the courteous gentleman. His name will be remembered and honoured as long as we cherish the memories of dis tinguished naval officers.—New York Times. THE CAUSE.—WhiIe the noble sport of yachting has found many votaries in this country, few, if any, of our adventurous spirits have taken kindly to the canoe. Yet there are many temptations, for those who like to spend a summer's holiday a little out of the beaten track, to go on solitary expeditions in search of health and pleasure. The owner of the famous Rob Roy has set the example, and in the very amusing narrative of his journeyings in the East, just published by the Messrs. Harpers, he gives full directions for the necessary equipment of a boat capable of making long voyages in perfect safety. Why not form a canoe club in this City ? If Commodore Stebbins, who has done so much for our yacht club, would only take the enterprise in hand, he would ,very soon find a goodly muster of young men rallying to tis flag, We.should then be able to give even the owner of the Rob Roy a hint how tobuild canoes.—New York Times. WHO GOES TO ST, JAMES ? It is understood that some changes are shortly to be made in our diplomatic •representation abroad, including the recall of Mr. Motley and of Mr. Bancroft. For the place of Mr. Motley Mr. Secretary Fish, ex-Senator Frelinghuysen, Wendell Phillips and others have been mentioned among the probabilities. We are also informed that the name of Senator How, of Wisconsin, in this con nection has been discussed in the political circles at Wash ington. Senator Howe is a man of fine accomplish ments, though from his modesty his merits are not generally known. He takes particular interest in all matters of art and literature, and in all measures looking to the education and elevation of the masses of the people. He has been for some time acting chairman of the Committee on the Library of Con g ress, and is the author of the project of a grand national historical museum at Washington. He has travelled extensively abroad, and is well posted in European politics and diplomacy. In the event, then, of the recall of Mr. Motley, Mr. Howe would be a good appointment for St. James, especially as on the Alabama claims he endorses the broad and satisfactory American exposition of Senator Sumner.—Nero York Herald of July 14. THE WAR WORRY IN WALL-STREET. The French were to have marched yesterday upon the Rhine, but they seem to have thought twice before select ing so unsteady a pathway, and did nothing of the kind. Moreover, those terrible fellows, "the Prooshians," who have haunted our historic dreams since childhood's hour, refrained from the gymnastic feat of marching on Paris, and so saved much shoe-leather and a great deal of badly bespattered paper. Yet, after all, the Spanish comedy came very near blundering into an extensive tragedy the other night, so that there were no laughing faces but those of the sly old diplomatists behind the scenes, and outside the Danes had all the fun to themselves. Hamlet was right ! But in the morning all the wild animals seemed to have come down from the mountains into Wall-street, and the bulls and the bears tossed the carcase of Prince Leopold and the battered fragments of the Spanish crown to and fro at a rate that would have thrown the lookers-on at the best bull fight in Seville or Madrid into ecstasies. Gold, which in these times seems to have usurped the peculiar qualities of cork, bobbed up and down between 113 and 114 for hours, until at last it received a solemn thump from the hammer of British inter ference in Europe and settled heavily on 112. The fractions we do not take into account, but they flew in all directions. The thirteens were badly fractured and a corner was knocked off from even the fourteen toward noon. The katydids of speculation kept up their chatter until late in the day, when the soothing syrup of a peace telegram quieted everybody but the readers of tardy assurances in print heavy head lines— that France was absolutely cantankerous, and " would not be satisfied." The plain truth of the matter is just this, that when the sovereigns of Europe get up a sham fight, or even a real one, the sovereigns of America are affected just about one and a half per cent., and that for speculative purposes. When their royal rises we raise our stocks or hold them steady. Should their good subjects send our securities home it will be because there is no security on the other side of the water; and the subjects, too, if they be wise, like Jack and Gill, will soon come tumbling after. In very truth it is a piteous sight to see the boasted centre and citadel of Christendom and civilisation beyond the Atlantic made such a backgammon board, to be dyed a deeper black and red, with burning and bloodshed, because a respectable Ger man gentleman is inclined upon invitation to smoke his meerschaum in the Escurial. But if Frank and Teuton will come to blows about so small a matter Jonathan can make up his mind in the Gold Room and on Corn Exchange with easy resignation to put all his paper at par and let them pay the piper. When he finds it due time to get up a counter-irritant he can make the Spanish fly out of Cuba !—New York Herald of July 13. THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE. A discussion has recently taken place in Boston in reference to the correct phraseology of the Declaration of Independence. The printed oration of Mr. William Everett, delivered in Boston on July 4th, 1870, gives "all men are born free and equal" as the leading prin ciple of the famous Declaration, whereas that instrument reads "all men are created equal." The orator, how ever, asserts that in his spoken oration he made use of the correct sentence. This mistake in the printed copy of the oration has caused an investigation into the his tory of the sentiment, from which it appears that the Virginia Bill of Rights drawn up by George Mason and adopted on June 12th, '1776, contains the phrase " all men are by nature equally free and inde pendent." •In Jefferson's first draft of the Declaration the sentence read " all men are created equal and inde pendent." The declaration of independence of the fol lowing July reads " all men are created equal" The de claration of rights of the inhabitants of Pennsylvania. passed by a Convention, sitting from Julyls to Septem ber 28th, 1779, reads " All men are born equally free and independent." The Bill of Rights of Massachusetts, drawn up by John Adams in 1779, reads " all men are born free and equal," though the words as originally re ported by the committee were " all men are born equally free and independent." From these authorities it seems that George Mason's draft of the Virginia Bill of. Rights was the common source from which all the subsequent expressions were obtained. the principle, however, can be traced to much earlier writers, including Locke and Sidney, and, according to Sir Robert Filmer to Car dinal Bellarmin, who lived betweenls42 and 1621.—Phila delphia Ledger. MEXICO. SAN FRANCISCO, July 11, 1870. The steamship Continental, from Mazatlan, July 1, brings 526,000 dols. (in Mexican dollars). There had been heavy rains and waterspouts in the valleys, doing con siderable damage to property and driving the inhabitants to the mountains. By this arrival further particulars of the capture of the filibustering steamer Forward by the United States steamer Mohican were received. After leaving Guaymas, the Forward, with the two sailing vessels in tow, proceeded to Chicola, in the South San Blas district, where Losadas' vessels discharged their cargoes, a portion of which, it is said, was sent to Tepee. The Forward then proceeded forty miles up the river. When the authorities of Mazatlan heard of the raid on Guaymas they, conjointly with the American Consul and the merchants. urged Captain Low, of the United States steamer MohfCan, to pursue the Forward. He consented, and after cruising for some time, the Mohican proceeded to San Bias, and then to Chihica, and there ascertained the whereabouts of the Forward. The Mohican reached the mouth of the river June 16, and Captain Low at once sent an expedition of boats, with sixty men, up the river to "cut out " the filibuster. When the Mohican's boats were nearing the Forward, they ob served a boat leaving the side of the vessel, and hailed it. The Forward's boat refused to stop, the officer in command of the Mohican expedition gave the order to fire upon it, which was promptly . obeyed. At the same moment the Mexi cans on the river bank opened a heavy fire from a battery of five twelve-pounders, supported by infantry. Ensign Wainwright and the coxswain of one of the Mohican's boats were killed. The expedition, however, captured and destroyed the Forward and took the following pri soners :—George Holding first officer ; James Lee, second officer; W. E. Johnson, engineer; and H. Martin, Marry Keoch, and Joseph Highbeck, seamen. The expedition returned down the river under a running fire from the bank, but there were no further casualties. The wounded prisoners were taken on board the steamer and carefully tended. The Mohican returned immediately to Mazatilan and the prisoners were delivered to the Mexican authorities, who treated them shamefully. Even the representations of the American Consul failed to procure them any consideration. Charit able foreigners were then appealed to and powerfully responded, and the poor fellows were made comfortable. They all pleaded innocence with regard to the charge of piracy, and after an examination before a judge in Mazatlan were sent to Guaymas for trial. The body of Ensign Wainwright was brought to San Francisco by the steamer Continental. The Rev. Robert Moffat will be publicly received by the directors of the London Missionary Society on Monday next. His Majesty the Mikado has appeared in person before his troops at a review at Koma-ba-no-hara. Thou sands of Japanese were present, who saw the face of their Sovereign for the first time. THE DROUGHT IN FRANCE.—The drought in France still continues, notwithstanding the late report to the contrary. No rain had fallen over the parched districts for ten weeks prior to the 4th of July, and since that date there have been only a few slight showers, which have not been sufficient to revive the drooping crops. It is, in short, supposed that only half the average grain crop will be har vested in France this year. Here we have, then, a powerful argument in France in behalf of peace, against which it is difficult to comprehend the evident de sire of Napoleon for war. Can he be apprehensive of in ternal troubles from short supplies of bread; and is he seeking to avoid them by diverting the public mind to the duties of patriotism and the glory of France ? We do not know ; but we do know that a march for glory on short rationsis a hazardous adventure, and in this view. we look for peace —New York Herald. BIRTHS.
