THE WAR.

Though it is extremely natural that the Emperor
of the French should be sanguine of a speedy termination
of the war, the Times thinks it doubtful whether Prussia
on the one side will consider her victory so complete, or
Austria her position so hopeless, as to accede to the arbi-
ter's desires. It would be difficult to point out what
aggravation of evils even a new and final disaster would
inflict upon the Austrians. So far as the Italians are con.
earned, it is to be deplored that the suspension of hostili-
ties was no accepted a few days earlier. The fortuue of
war has not betnended them by sea any more than by
land. Indeed, their maritime disaster off the island of
Lissa—invited through Admiral Persano yielding to the
general uproar—is even more decisive than the defeat of
their army at Custoua. In the former as in the latter
encounter the bitterness of ill-success may be tempered by
the consciousness that every man has done his duty, but
still the conviction that Italian valour has effected
little towards the liberation of the last pro-
' vines* of the Peninsula subjected to foreign
rule must irresistibly affect the Italian mind.
In the meantime Prussia has shown, in everything, every-
where, and in every way, a national superiority over her
, great rival—a superiority proving the higher stamp of
character, the loftier policy, the nobler bond of union, the
stroager element, and the truest earnest of the future.
Considering that the Prussian terms of peace were
known to the Austrian government when it agreed
to the suspension of hostilities, the Daily News thinks
we are warranted in indulging the hope that the
Emperor Francis Joseph has already resolved upon a
substantial acceptance of those conditions. Reflection, in-
deed, will fail to diminish the greatness of the eacrifice,but it
will at least make its necessity more apparent, and the
Daily News hopes that such considerations as that the
integrity of his territory is not in question, and that peace
°utile Prussian terms would leave the empire stronger in
some respects than it was before the war, will prevail
with the Emperor ; and that before the beginning of an-
other week we may be able to congratulate our neigh-
boars now in arms upon the assured prospect of peace.
The naval engagement in the Adriatic is the first serious
encounter of iron-clad shwa that has taken place in Euro-
' peon waters. There are discrepancies between the official
reports which it must be left to fuller and more exact
accounts to clear up ; but it is plain that the Italians sus-
tained the heaviest loss. The battle must have been fought
while the truce was being signed, and we trust it may faci-
litate the work of peace.
In the opinion of the Herald the agreement of Austria
to an armistice renders it highly probable that she will
accept the preliminaries of peace. The Prussian propo-
sitions are not such as would not involve the humiliation of
Austria ; indeed by finally separating Prussia and Austria
they would bring with them one great advantage to Europe.

THE MURDER IN JERSZY. TUESDAY. The
police succeeded yesterday in capturing a man who is
strongly suspected of being concerned in the murder of
bliss Father Susan Le Brun, at St. Peter's, Jersey. The
suspected individual is a Frenchman, who gives the name
of Francois Bradley, though this is presumed to be false.
He escaped from custody three weeks ago, while in charge
of the police at the Royal Court, where he had been
examined on a charge of burglary in the parish of Gren-
ville. While in gaol be boasted that he knew an old
woman living with her lunatic brother in the
parish of St. Peter's (where the deceased lived), and
that if he escaped and wan brought back to prison
it would be for something very different from
the offence for which he was in custody.
When apprehended yesterday his left hand was found to
have been cut with something sharp—just such a wound
as broken glass would make. On his clothes and inside his
cap marks of blood were discovered, and his jacket sleeves
and part of the bod 7 were wet, as though they bad been
recently washed. Without any mention of the murder being
made to him he made several statements conearning it
which greatly confirmed the suspicions entertained of him.
He accounted for the wounds in his hand by saying that
be received them while he engaged in loading a vessel with
bricks, while it is proved that no such cargo had been ship-
ped dining the time he mentioned. The pollee are still pro-
scenting their research. The prisoner, though handcuffed,
made has escape from the officers who apprehended him,
' but he was captured after a smart chase and lodged in
prison.
PRECAUTIONS AGAINST RINDERYEST. —The meet

of Inspector Dorm, have been told off for duty at the
North-wall-quay, when a station is about being built for
their aocommotion. The officers exercise a close super-
vision over vessels arriving in port, and one of them sails

COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS.

MARK-LANE.—(THIS DAY.) 8
The supply of English wheat on offer in our market to-
day was very moderate and the trade ruled steady at full g
quotations. The general quality of the samples was tole- II
rally good.
With foreign wheat we were tolerably well, but not to
say heavily supplied. The transactions were by no means
numerous ; nevertheless, Monday's prices were well sup-
rted.
po Floating cargoes of grain were steady in price.
The few samples of English barley on the stands were
taken off slowly on former terms. Foreign qualities were
very dull.
Malt was in good supply and fair request at extreme
rates.
Oats, owing to the large import from abroad, were a dull
sale, but not cheaper.
Beans supported Monday's advances; but the inquiry
for them was by no means active.
The demand for peas was heavy, at late rates.
Both English and foreign flour changed hands slowly, on
former terms.
The seed market was

ASPECT OF THE CITY.
(THIS .) -

lgglol7B KUI4 014-81P71TRAL RANKS.
Never before did the City, and more par-
timissiy that part of it which contains the
wake beaks, wear such an aspect as it has
duo *day from the hour when the lbanks were
for business, up to the hour cd our going to
:palisi It soon became manifest that the failure of
d and Gurney's bank had produced a wide-
feeling of distrust, and it was distressing to
in'tros the eager exprosaion in the faces
of moos who had left home for the purpose of
dr;Aout their deposits, and as many of them
y supposed saving their families from ruin.
gToiclon customers who were bent on this errand
wars doubt supplemented by numerous arrivals
froolse country by early trains, and some in the
thoelted manifestly &provincial appearance. A few
of ortenks, as if to invite those who felt distrust-
ful, opened their doors at 9 instead of 10 o'clock.
but it was not till after 10 that the excitement
bugpito be unmistakeably manifest. From that
time Lombard-street, Birchin-lane and Throgmor-
*potted, commenced filling, and these and some
ogle neighbouring streets soon became almost
lisped up with passengers and vehicles. A large
aus& was assembled opposite particular banks ;
paadierhaps, ineomedegree these gatherings helped
*ukasese the intensity of the run. Policemen were
stationed at the doors of the banks which were sub-
to this pressure, to enable those who had
wine's there to pass in and out, and they
hsd considerable difficulty in keeping the way clear.
Between 1 and 2 o'clock it began to be stated
ja sell-informed quarters that the government had
some to the relief of the banks, and the natural in-
hrenoe from this was that • panic which was far
prayer than those of 1847 and 1857 was
sot unlikely to be arrested. It was with
a sense of relief, as if some tremendous impending
phmity affecting the whole community had been
leadenly removed, that this news was received.
The continuous procession of depositors was not
Indeed arrested. Men had come for their money
and meant to have it. Probably an official gua-
rantee from the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer would not have altered their determination.
It was curious to observe the change of counte-
nance produced by two or three minutes
spelt opposite a bank counter, and many
on coming out, audibly expressed their satisfaction.

AUSTRIA AND ITALY.

TRIESTE, MAT 10.
The Trieste Chamber of Commerce has addressed
a petition to the Austrian government praying that
a declaration may be promulgated in proper time to
the effect that no commercial vessels shall be seized
as prizes by men-of-war. The petitioners make this
request on account of the provisions of the Italian
law upon the mercantile marine, according to which
commercial vessels are exempt from seizure if such
declaration be made by both belligerents at the out-
, break of war.

ITALY.

FLORENCE, MAY 10.

The Florence press are discussing the Emperor
Napoleon's speech at Auxerre, which has produced
a profound impression here. The rumour that the
Austrians had evacuated the districts of the Dec*
and the Po is unfounded. Letters received here
from Venice state that the University of Padua
has been closed, and that the head-quarters of the
Austrian lieutenancy have been transferred to
Udine. The Italian municipalities continue to
vote rewards and pensions to soldiers who shall
distinguish themselves in war. The Nazione of
this evening believes that no proposal has hitherto
been made by the Powers for the assembly of a
congress.

MESSINA, MAT 9.

The municipality of this town have voted a sum
of 30,000 francs for the crew of the first Italian
man-of-war that shall take a distinguished part in
operations against Austria.

NAPLES, MAT 9.

A subscription has been opened in this city for
the formation of a volunteer battalion, composed
of University students. The police have discovered
some reactionary committees. Several arrests have
been made in consequence.

MILITARY CONFERENCE OF GERMAN
SOVEREIGNS.

DARDLSTADT, MAT 10.
The reigning sovereigns of Wirtemberg, Hesse-
Darmstadt, Nassau, and Baden, and plenipotentiaries
from five other German States, including Bavaria,
held a conference on the Bth inat., in the village of
Mtihlacker (Wirtemberg) respecting the concentra-
tion of their respective contingents and the
strategic positions to be taken up by them.

THE FEDERAL DIET.

FRANKFORT, MAT 10.

The resolution adopted in yesterday's sitting of
the Federal Diet, that the Military Commission
should watch that the ordinary Federal contin-
gents in Federal garrisons should not be exceeded,
was introduced, with the object of preventing a
reinforcement of the Prussian troops in the fortress
of Mayenee. Prussia has declared in the Diet that
she will consider the imperative requirements of her
self-preservation as more important than her rela-
tions to a Confederation which, in opposition to
the supreme Federal laws, does not add to the se-
eurity of the members of the Confederation, but
rather endangers it.
London, England, 1866-05-11

TH/I STATE OF SUROP?.

The Times remarks that though the general opinion may
be that Austria would show good policy and good general.
ship by waging a defensive war, it is not at all certain that
the Emperor or his generals would be content merely to
defend the Quadrilateral or Bohemia. In Germany it is,
indeed, almost certain that the Austrian generals would
assume the offensive. This, in fact, would be the only
answer they could make to the first Prussian act
of war, which would probably be an attack upon
the Austrian corps of occupation in Holstein. In
such a campaign we have no reason to conclude that yin.
tory would readily favour either side. There might be
bloody battles on a theatre of war where Germans died
half a century ago in a better cause, and yet after
a long campaign neither side might have much to
boast of. Not unlike this may be the fate of the
Italian campaign. The wave of Italian enthusiasm may
' break in vain against the works of the Quadrilateral, and
months of war may only place Victor Emmanuel in a position
to sue for further aid from his ally of 1859. So well will
" neutrality" have answered, and then, perhaps, may corns
the time for " liberty of action." The would•be conquerors
who are rushing into the present war might wisely reflect
on this. If they could gain all they want by their own
unaided strength, there might be in the morality of state-
craft some justification of their policy. But if, as seems
likely to all but themselves, Austria prove a stubborn
adversary, they may have to relinquish their hope of spoil,
or buy it by humiliating concessions from an arbiter who
will then appear upon the stage.
The Star is not in a position to confirm the report that,
In consequence of negotiations in which the English and
French governments took a part, Austria has signified a
willingness to treat with Italy for Venetia, but it will
venture to state that something in the nature of en inter-
change of ideas has been going forward between England
and France on the one hand and Austria on the other,
which the former powers hope may lead to such a result.
The Star cannot indeed say that it has yet been successful,
bat It is something reassuring to believe that it ha. not
yet failed. It is not likely that in any case war will break
out for eight or ten days, and the western governments
►re not quite without hope that before the expiration of
that time the danger may be averted.
London, England, 1866-05-11

DEVONPORT.

Devonport is already in commotion in prospect
of the election which is supposed to be speedily forth-
coming, although rumours are current that an attempt will
be to withhold the writ until it is seen what will be
the fate of the 16th clause of the Franchise Bill, disquali-
fying dockyardsmen. Placards were yesterday posted
announcing that two conservative candidates were
on their way to Devonport to contest the seat, and a some-
what similar announcement was subsequently made by
the liberals. By the express train due at midnight the two
conservative candidates appeared, accompanied by Mr.
Ferrand, the ejected member, and Mr. Beer, the conser-
vative solicitor. They are—the Hon. Reginald C. Abbot
and Mr. H. Cecil Raikes. Of these gentlemen little
could be gathered after their arrival. We believe the
former is only sou of the second Lord Colchester, who
was Postmaster General under Lord Derby's govern-
ment. Mr. Abbot was at the bottom of the poll for
East Sussex at the late general election. His colleague,
Mr. Henry Cecil Raikes, occupied a corresponding posi-
tion on the poll at the city of Chester.— Western Morning
News.
We learn by Reuter's telegram, that Mr.W. B. Ferrand,
ex-member, and the new conservative candidates, the
Hon. Reginald C. Abbot, and Mr. Raikes, addressed a
large meeting of the conservative electors of the borough
last evening, and were very favourably received. The
liberal candidates, Mr. Montagu Chambers and Admiral
Decree, were expected to-day.

Edinburgh, for the benefit of St. Vincent Roman Catholic
School, aaked the Lord Advocate whether his attention had
been drawn thereto, as beings violation of the law respect-
ing lotteries ; and what, if any, steps had been or would
be taken to give effect to the law in that behalf.

The LORD ADVOCATE said the statute under which
persons publishing such advertisements were punishable
enabled public inforniersto prosecute, and therefore, accord.
ing to the rule in Scotland, suck cases did not come under
cognizance of the public prosecutor. The course generally
adopted with regard to these matters was to prosecute
where the lotteries were for private gain, but not when
they were intended for the purposes of charity. That
distinction might be right or wrong, but it was open to a
public informer at all times to proceed against the parties
interested in the lottery. He, however, hardly thought
that the law respecting lotteries should be made the sub-
ject of sectarian °complaint. Loteries were resorted io by
people of all denominations, but the complaints seemed to
be directed mainly against those for Roman catholic
objects.
COAL SUPPLY.

Sir B. PEEL 'Woad the Secretary of State for the Home
Department whether it would not be desirable to instruct
the director-general of the institution charged with con-
ducting the geological survey of Great Britain and Ireland,
by which mineral statistics were annually collected and
published, to collect evidence bearing on the carboniferous
system of the United Kingdom, the extent of the coal
fields, the thickness and quality, produce, and consump-
tion of all beds of coal, and to report thereon ; and, if so,
whether the government would issue the neeessary inatrue-
tions a.r&ngly.
Sir G. GREY said the government had anticipated the
augicestion of the right hon. baronet, because on the 26th
Apnl last he addressed a letter to Sir R. Murchison, who
was at the head of the geological =Trey, asking whether
full information on the subject could be obtained through
that department. He had received an answer which led
to the hope that such full information could be obtained
by that means, and he war still in communication with
him in regard to the matter.

GALWAY ELECTION COMMITTEE.-(THIS DAY.

The committee met again this morning at 11
eel** ; Mr. Vivian in the chair.
Mr. O'Malley, Q.C., intimated that it was not his inten-
tion to call any 'witnesses on the part of Sir Rowland
Blenaerbassett.
Mr. • Serjeant Ballantine then proceeded to sum up the
wean the part of the petitioners. The plain English
of the intimation just given by his learned friend
was that be was afraid of putting into the box Sir
Rowland Blennerhasset or Mr. Kirwan, the philanthropic
pawnbroker, who took a pleasure in dispensing 5/. notes for
the benefit of his own race. (A laugh.) It was
irn-
poedble for any reasonable man to come to
any other conclusion than that there was a desire
to prevent a full investigation of the case. His
learned friend must contend either that there was no bri-
eery °Tao agency, but he submitted to the committee
that there was abundant evidence to negative any such as-
samption.The case against Sir Rowland Blennechassett was
this : —Hs had been described u • " strolling candidate,"
wandering from Kerry to Galway ; and it wee quite clear
that on Sir Rowland'a arrival there arrived a considerable
earn of money, and that the liberality of the pawnbroker
was cotemporary with the arrival of both. The question
wax did, Sir Rowland bring down the money with which
the bribery was carried on ?

THE CHOLERA AT LIVERPOOL.

Of the persona attacked by cholera on hoard the
Jessie Munn on Tuesday night, two were Germans, one a
Swede, and three were Irish. A girl (the daughter of the
Dutch woman who died • few days since on board the
Jessie Msain) died on Wednesday evening. The Irish
eases broke out on board the War Cloud, and the
patients were at once transferred to the Jessie Munn.
On Wednesday, about 200 German emigrants, who
had been shipped by a Liverpool shipping agent,
went down to the dock where the ship was
I moored, and proceeded to take up their quarters on
board. This coming to the ears of some Irish emigrants
who were going out in the same ship, they proceeded in
force to the vessel, and a disturbance was the result, the
end being that the Germans were summarily ejected from
the ship. At • meeting of the Liverpool Health Cont-
i mittee yesterday the following resolution was adopted:—
"That the emigrants' sub-committee be requested to
confer with the Select Vestry in reference to the neces-
sity of providing accommodation for destitute Germans
anti other emigrants arriving in Liverpool on their journey
to America ; and as to the best means of effecting that
object; and, also, to confer with the vestry am to the
steps which should be taken for compelling the foreign
agents by whom these emigrants are forwarded to Liver-
! pool to make proper provision for them on their arrival in
the town." As all the Liverpool steamship companies trad-
i ing to America refuse to ship foreigners, the German emi-
grants will be only received on board sailing vessels. The
crew of the Helvetia have presented an urgent request to
the Mayor of Liverpool to be allowed to land. The mayor
is endeavouring to obtain warehouse accommodation for
the emigrants, who have no place to go to. When our

THE PURCHASE OF HORSES IN HAMBURG.

yesterday evening, have recovered to-day on the

AUSTRIA AND PRUSSIA.
VIENNA, M• 7 10, EVENING.

The political situation remains unchanged. It is
again rumoured that Count Karolyi, the Austrian
ambassador at Berlin, and Baron von Werther, the
Prussian ambassador at Vienna, will shortly be
recalled from their respective poets. A committee
of merchants of this city intend placing a conside-
rable sum of money at the disposal of the govern-
ment upon the outbreak of war. The Archduke
Karl Ferdinand will, it is stated, assume the mili-
tary command in Vienna, the present commandant,
Count Thun, being placed at the head of a brigade.
The independent papers do not share the unfa-
vourable opinion of the semi-official Austrian press
in reference to the speech of the Emperor Napo-
leon recently delivered at Auxerre, which consi-
dered it to be directed against Prussia.

NOTTINGHAM ■LULTION.

Mr. Bernal Osborne's immense audacity has been re•
warded, the Telegraph observes, with success, but neither
his candidature nor his ways of conducting his election
have been worthy of his professed devotion to liberalism,
or of his unquestioned ability. Our debates are not so
lively that Mr. Osborne should not be welcome in the House
of Commons again ; and there is really fine sport for him
among the country gentlemen. But, as regards his own
party, it will yet require proof that he is seriously aware
of the importance which it attributes to the present
struggle—in comparison with the issue of which forty
Bernal Osbornes would become insignificant. That view
did not seem to impress itself upon the now honourable
gentleman during the election ; but should it do so even
at last, all will be well. His vote is • good vote, with •
glib and cutting tongue to explain which way it goes ;
and if Lord Amberley consoles us for the temporary loss
of Mr. Morley, the thrice will more than once regret, we
think, that they exchanged the silent " aye" of Sir Robert
Clifton for the anything but silent vote of the member for
Nottingham, who now returns to his old place to laugh at
them.

Ilia Star compliment. the electors of Nottingham for
giving Lord Amberley the opportunity which he desired
and deserves. As to Mr. Osborne, the Star always liked
his rough, rasping humour, as it showed itself in the
HOW* of Commons, and never supposed him capable of
such displays as thaw with which he has charmed the
lambs of Nottingham. It were bettor for his reputation
that he never entered parliament again, than to win by
such arts as he has employed, the votes of the Nottingham
forks and the cheers of the Nottingham rowdies. We did
not think there was one man living who could have added
to the vulgarity of a Nottingham election.

In committee on Redistribution of Seats Bill,
Sir Hervey Bruce will move a clause affirming that Ire-
land is entitled to three out of the seven representatives
proposed to be taken from England; and on the second
reading of the Representation of the People (Ireland)
Bill, Sir Frederick Heygate will move " That in the
opinion of this house, the relative population, valuation,
trade, number of electors, state of education, and crime
in the province of Ulster as compared with the rest of
Ireland gives that province an undoubted claim to at least
its present number of representatives.

Mr. Hadfield intends to ask the Secretary of
State for the Home Department on ➢fonday, whether, as
the Pasliamentary Oaths Amendment Bill has been
passed, and the Qualification for Offices Abolition Bill
having passed both Houses of Parliament, he will consider
ft neoessary, in this or any future session, to bring in a
yearly indemnity bill ; or whether he considers such in-
demnity bill will be unnecessary when the royal assent
is obtained to the Qualification for Offices Abolition Bill.

CENTRAL

(Before the Recorder.)
TEI MAROS OP PICILIMIT AGLIIIST POLICZ CONBTABLIII.
At the close of the case for the prosecution yesterday,
Serjeant Ballantine then proceeded to address the jury
on behalf of the defendant, and be commenced by stating
that it was not his intention to occupy their time for any
lengthened period at this stage of the case, as, if it should
become neeeassry, be should have another opportunity
addressing them, and enter more minutely into all the de-
tails of this most extraordinary ease. He appeared on behalf
of the defendant on the present occasion under the instruc-
tions of the police commissioners, and the only object that
was sought to be obtained was to endeavour to ascertain
the truth. The learned counsel, in the course of an able
address, went over a good many of the arguments that
were adduced in the former trial to show the improba-
bility that the defendant and his comrade Barry should
have been guilty of so serious an offence, without any
reasonable motive being assigned for such extraordinary
conduct. After remarking upon the facts that had been
addnoed in evidence, the learned serjeant particularly
called the attention of the jury to the fact that when Dye
and Pearce were before the magistrate, and the nature
of the charge was distinctly stated to them, the
reply they made was that they had nothing
say, and not a word was uttered about their
having been apprehended in Eversholtaireet, and that
the statement of the constables that they were appre-
hended almost in the act of committing a burglary, was a
wicked and a false fabrication, and be asked the try t°
consider whether it was possible that this would the
conduct of two innocent young men. He then went on to
remark upon the discrepancies and contradictions that ap-
peared in the testimony of the witnesses who had been ex-
amined for the prosecution, and said that when the jury
had heard the testimony he should lay before them, be be-
lieved that they could not come to any other conclusion
than that the defendants were entirely innocent of the
charge that was made against them.
At the conclusion of tho speech of the learned serjesnt,
it being nearly half-past 5 oclock, the further proceedings
were adjourned until this morning.
The Common Serjeant sat in the New Court, and dieposed
of a number of cues, but none of them were of sufficient
interest to justify a report.
