THE POLICY OF PRANCE.

The Times interprets the recent statements of
M. Rouher to mean that the French government does not
wish to go to war or to aid one belligerent against another ;
but that it nevertheless reserves to itself a liberty of action
so complete that neither the chamber nor the country will
have any right to complain should its troops be found a
month hence in order of battle on the banks of the Elbe or
of the Mincio. M. Thiers, whose characteristic it is to be
for ever conjuring up dangers against which it is the duty
of France to arm, and to represent his country as one
which can only subsist in safety by the weakness of their
neighbours, probably himself distrusts the pacific inten-
tions of his government, inasmuch as it has only to make
known its wishes to secure the peace of the Continent ;
and the Time is very much of the opinion it attributes to
M. Thiers, and finds it impossible to believe that even in
her present difficulty Italy would venture upon so terrible
an expedient as a war with Austria unless she bad an
intimation, however informal, that she would receive
powerful support. It is doubtless understc id between
Prussia and Italy that if Austria can be disarmed on
one side she is to be attacked on the other ; but
France could prevent this on the part of Italy
at once ; and even in the case of Prawns. it is
by no means certain that a similar result would not follow
if France desired it. The chances of peace in Europe
hang at this moment upon a thread, and that threw' we
believe to be the chance whether, even at the last moment.
the Emperor of the French will not think the risk he runs
too great for the success it promises and recall the per-
mission which either directly or by implic.tion he has
probably given.
According to the Pod there is to be a war whether
France likes it or not. The Telegraph will not regard
the comparative silence of the Emperor Napoleon as
evincing a desire for war, but rather inclines to the belief
that his government would prefer a specific solution of the
difficulty, though there 4 no reason as yet to suppose
that such a preference is strong enough to induce the
Emperor to interfere actively in order to secure peace.

CROLIMA Mm ILIGGRATIO!t.

As far as we can judge, observes the Tilton, cholera is
brought here by the German emigrant 4 in a latent state,
and is produced only by the unhealthy condition, of an
emigrant ship. It is not discoverable before the voyage
begins, and it cashes after the voyage is concluded.
Neither at Liverpool, through which town these infected
emigrants pass, nor at New York, where they are landed,
has the cholera been established. Government, it is said,
has already taken steps to block to a certain extent the
channel through England against the stream of German
emigrants, but as we cannot close our ports against the
world, we should do as the Americans have done—place
infected ships under quarantine, and provide accommoda•
tion for suffering passengers. Our old ships of the line
have many recommendations for the purpose of cholera
hospitals, and can be made ready for service at once. One
of the Liverpool steam companies has already undertaken
to place two hulks in the Mersey for the reception of pas-
senger, either sick or under quarantine, and it will be
found, we should hope, by no means " impossible" for the
Admiralty to contribute from its abundant stock to the
organisation of which a private navigation company has
thus set the example.
The Telegraph remarks that the passengers by the
Helvetia, the England, and the Virginia were Low-Ger-
mans from Friesland and the Dutch swamps, where all
the winter there has been that which is too freely called
"Asiatic cholera." These people habitually live as poorly
as savages, on saver-kraut, smoked hogs'-flesh, and lager-
bier. They started from an atmosphere full of cattle-
plague and choleraic influences ; at Liverpool they were
stowed like sardines for the voyage ; the England, vessel
_ _

of 2,700 tons, had more than eleven hundred of them be-
tween decks ; the Virginia took a thousand and forty ; and
the Helvetia was also crammed.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.-MAY 30.

- - - - -
Sittings— in Banco. —(Before Lord Chief Justice Erle, and
Justices Wiles, Byles, and Smith.)
WARD r._ WFSCOMB.

The plaintiff in this case had been engaged as reporter
and subeditor upon Woolmer's Exeter Gazette, and he sued
to recover damages upon the ground that he had been dis-
missed before the year for which he was engaged had
expired. At the trial before Mr. Baron Channell, at
Bristol, the jury found for the plaintiff, damages 50/. Sub-
sequently a rule was obtained to show cause why there
should Rot be a new trial, upon the ground that the verdict
was against the weight of evidence, and to-day the matter
was called on for argument.
Mr. Coleridge, Q.C., and Mr. Cole, appeared to show
cause • Mr. Karalake, Q.C., and Mr. Kingdon to support
the rule.t
It was stated that on the present occasion no question
was raised as to the plaintiff's competency, and the
only question was whether what passed in conversation
between the plaintiff and the defendant amounted to a dis-
missal of the former, or whether they had separated by
mutual consent. Upon this point Mr. Baron Channell
reported that he was dissatisfied with the finding of
the jury.
The court, acting upon the usual practice in such easel,
adopted the opinion of the learned lodge who presided at
the trial, and made the rule absolute for a new trial.
Rule absolute.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—Mey 30.
(Before Mr. Registrar Roche.)
TN REBIHT AND CUNNINGHAM,

..—.... ...
The bankrupts, Henry Birt and Henry Stewart Cun-
ningham, were wholesale tea-dealers and merchants, of
21, Mining-lane, trading under the firm of Henry Birt
and Co. Cunningham only has surrendered • the other
bankrupt has absconded. The aggregate liabilities are
stated at 102,000 W., of which 67,6561. are without security ;
assets of uncertain amount. The bankrupt Cunningham
has appended the following statement to the list : ' In
addition to those figures there is a liability in respect of a
large number of warrants paid for by customers, and left
by them in charge of the firm, and deposited with Birt by
way of security, the liability for which, owing to his flight,
I have been unable to ascertain."
This was an adjourned sitting for proof of debts and
choice of assignees.
Mr. Linklater tendered a proof for 10,3901. on behalf of
Mr. Hugh Brodie, gentleman, of Onalow-square.
Mr. Wynne, on behalf of the petitioning creditor,
opposed the proof. From the examination of Mr. Brodie
it appeared that the money, which was his, had been ad-
vanced by his father, in furtherance of the design of the
bankrupts to convert their firm into a limited company, of
which Mr. Brodie was to ho the managing director, receiv-
ing the amount of his loan in paid-up he com-
pany was never formed.
Mr. Linklater—The disasters of this spring had nipped
it in the bud. _ .

The Registrar admitted the proof.
Mr. F. W. Carter, tea broker, of Mincing-lane, and Mr.
J. Sydney Edgcumbe, gentleman, of Chancery-lane, were
appointed assignees. Metiers. Link!sten and Hackwood
are the solicitors under the proceedings.

EQUITY COURTS.—MAT 30.
(Before the Master of the Bolls.)
THE PATENT BREAD MACHINZRY COMPANY.
His Honour gave judgment on a petition which was
argued on Monday, which prayed the winding-up of the
company.
Mr. Southgate, Q.C., and Mr. Bevir appeared in support
of the petition ; and Mr.Wintle appeared for the company.
His Lordship said that he could not accede to the prayer
of the petition. The company had been originally formed
for two purposes; one the miring and palling of bread; the
other, the making and willing of machines. It was a bonA
fide company, and from 28,000/. to 30,0001. appeared to
have been subscribed and paid in respect of it. The sale of
bread and fitting up of bakeries' which bad been sold at a
loss, had not been profitable to the company ; but it ap-
to be quite otherwise in the other department of the
tteriliss, which was being carried on with profit, and
which all the shareholders and creditors wished to be con-
tinued. His lordship thought the petitioner had no locus
standi as a shareholder. His shares had been allotted to
him as fully paid up, as were those of the other share-
holders t the petitioner was not liable to creditors, and his
object was not to divide any assets pan passu with the
other shareholders, but to get back, under a clause in hie
agreement with the company, the patent for making the
machines.
The petition would therefore be dismissed with costs.
London, England, 1866-05-31

M.A.RYLEBONE.

Mr. Alexander Hooky, aged 29, of 16, Sunderland-
terrace, Westbourne-park, Semester, dentist, was charged
with assaulting Ellen Allen, of 112, Warwick-street, Pun-
lioo, in • railway carriage on the London and North
Western Railway, with intent to commit • rape.
Mr. Roberts, solicitor, prosecuted on behalf of the
company ; and Mr. Lewis, sen., of Ely-place, defended.
The complainant's account of the matter was that
on Tuesday she went to Watford by the London and North
Western Railway, and returned by the 6 o'clock train.
The accused got into a second clan carriage, and
she got into it after him, no one else being there. Shortly
after the train left the station, be began to use indelicate
language, and then with much violence attempted to com-
mit the offence with which he was charged. He renewed
the attempt between Camden station and Euston. The
train stopped at Pinner, Harrow, and Sudbury, but she
made no complaint at any of those etations. In her ex-
amination by Mr. Lewis, it was elicited that she was a
married woman, but was not Living with her husband.
Many of the questiona put to her she would not
answer. She denied that she bad said anything
about " going up and down the country making lot, of
money." She bad once been at that court, or perhaps
three times, and once at Guildhall In reply to • question
from Mr. Roberts, ahe said that the accused smoked all the
time he was attempting to commit the outrage upon her, a
remark which excited the surprise of the court.
Mr. Lewis, in defending the accused, said he had sifted
the complainant's character, and as she could not be
deemed • truthful witness in her cross-examination, her
evidence in this came could not be believed. He concluded
by saying, " I can speak to the character of this man. I
have know him from his birth. He has a wife and two
children. His respectability I can vouch for, and it was
only three day, ago he was on a visit at my house. To
the truth of this I can be sworn."

Mr. Mansfield then said—These cases are very difficult to
handle. There is no doubt that a man has a very great
difficulty to contend with in a charge like this. He is at
the mercy of any woman who might think proper to trump

that present circumstances do not admit of his pro-

belief that the Conference on the Danubian ques-

PRINCESS'S.

Some time before the production of The Streets
of London, that is, in the early part of the year 1864, the
public were told in some of those journals which are
fruitful in theatrical gossip, that a play by Mr. Watts
Phillips called The Huguenot Soldier was in rehearsal at
the Princeu'a Theatre. 1864, 1865, and the beet half of
1866 have passed away, and with them three such solid
dramatic and scenic successes at the Princess's as
The Streets of London, Arran na Pogue, and It is sever too
tale to wad, and last night the long-promised drama by
Mr. Phillips was produced at this house under the title of
The Huguenot Captain. Mr. Vining, unlike some of his
brother managers, has spared neither labour nor expense
to make the piece effective. To quote some of the words
of the advertisements, the costumes have been designed by
M. Marcelin, of Le Vie Pariaienne, the celebrated designer
of the costumes in La Licht au Bois. The vocal music has
been composed by Mr. J. L Hatton, the incidental and dance
music byMr.Charlee Hall,and the notorious Frenchgrotesque
dancers from the Theatre Imperials du Chatelet, whom
Mr. Fechter indignantly denied that he had engaged for
the Lyceum, have been imported to give unwonted spirit
to the " grotesque dances of the period." The ballet is
under the direction of Mr. Milano, and unusual pains have
I been taken to illustrate old Paris in the scenery painted
by Mr. F. Lloyds. In addition to this the company boa
been strengthened by the engagement of several old and
new favourites—Mrs. Stirling, Mr. George Honey, and
Milli Neilson, the last actress being a young lady who
made a very favourable impression a few months ago as
Juliet in a performance at the New Royalty Theatre, and
who was promised, at one period, at the Lyceum.
The piece is a thin imitation of the Dumas school of
dramas, but the liberality and taste with which it is
put upon the stage ought to secure the patronage of
a spectacle-loving public. Mr. Watts Phillips was called
on at the termination of the drama, and came on to ac-
knowledge the compliment. It is almost unnecessary to
say that the house was crowded with the usual literary and
artistic people who form so large a portion of a first
II night's audience.

THE REFORM GATHERING IN TRAFALGAR-SQUARE.

The Times gives a very different account in its leading
article columns of the reform demonstration last night
from that which appears in its own report of the pro-
ceedings. In the editorial comments the assemblage is
said to have been composed of boys and " roughs"—there
being only a few self-constituted representatives of the
working-classes. It should be understood, the Times adds,
that the police acted solely on principles of expediency
and that any attempt made to repeat such an exhibition
must be forcibly prevented. A public meeting ie such a
place at such a time constitutes in itself a breach of the
peace. It is an annoyance to peaceful people and a dis-
turbance of the public convenience. Moreover, by their
professed character, such meetings are acts of intimidation.
The men who raise these mock agitations have no real
in/10.nm with the working classes, who know very well
that they may trust the legislature to do them justice.
The Herald speaks pityingly of the men who do not
I know that these meetings and hootings are unlawful and
criminal. All this excitement against conservatism is
got up by a series of falsehoods ; a very short experience
of conservative rule will suffice to convince the nation that
it is quite as pacific and quite as favourable to freedom as
that of Lord Russell.

The Tekgrrsph gives a sketch of various attempts which
have been made in our history to abrogate or abridge the
constitutional privilege of public meetings. The Act of
1817 prohibits certain political meetings of more than fifty
persons "in any street, square, or open place in
the city or liberties of Westminster, or county of

ALHAMEB.A.

A new spectacular scene and ballet, called The
Titanic Cascada and Sports of Diana, was exhibited for
the first time last night at this theatre of varieties in the
place of the celebrated Butterfly Ballet and Fairy Scene by
Mr. Callcott. The Titanic Cascades, aa their name implies,
are immense torrents of real water falling from the top
of the lofty stage over what appear to be real rocks,
on to • lake of looking-glass, and then flowing off
in • broad glittering stream, and disappearing through
the stage. The looking-glass effect is one which Mr. Call.
cott introduced and patented • few years ago in •
scene that he constructed for Madame Celeste at the
Lyceum Theatre, and in this Alhambra spectacle he has
surpassed, if possible, his former artistic labours. The
ballet invented by Madame Collier to give life to this scene
is • combination of marches and dances by a hundred
graceful girls, who are chiefly attired to represent Diana
and her attendant nymphs. As • water spectacle—
& cool and pleasant exhibition during the hot weather—this
new scene is doubtless one of the largest and most elabo-
rate ever placed upon the stage. The present programme
at the Alhambra is full of novelties, comprising three new
ballets, an extraordinary child on the low rope, and an
equally astonishing Italian Hercules. M. Leotard has
returned to London, arid is announced to give twelve fare-
well morning performances at this house, every Tuesday
Thursday, and Saturday in July. In addition to M
Leotard's performance on the flying trapeze—the most
graceful and original gymnastic feat ever exhibited—the
new water ballet will be given, and other attractive en-
tertain' went..

JULY 3, 180. 41.414.4"-"a"'

:between 30,000 aweil 40,00 Austrians are placed
Uri* combat. About 16,000 prisoners have been
lamb at the battles of jftachin, Galitz, Nachod,
'and is the engagement; at Henerwasser, Miinchen-
meets, and Turnae. The number of killed and

pynded is more than 20,000. Several battalions
have been completely annihilated. The Saxon
corps, the Kalik brigade, the Clam-Gallas corps,
and the Gablentz corps are completely broken up
and, for the present, not in condition to fight.
The Austrian army has retired to a strong posi-
tion betweenJosephstadt and Konigsgraetz, on the
other side of the Elbe, and according to the state-
ment of some captured officers, the soldiers are
discouraged, and the army partly in a state of
dissolution.

THE POLICY OF FRANCE.

PARIS, JULY 3.

The Constitictionnel of this morning publishes an
article, signed by M. Boniface, with the object, as
stated by the writer, of tranquillising the public
mind, and placing the policy of the Emperor
in a better light. France had no reason, he
continues, to associate herself with the passions
that demanded war, but she cannot, on the
other hand, remain unconcerned if a great struggle
commences and be indifferent to its results.
The French government has well informed all
of its double resolution. It has not sought, and
does not even seize an opportunity of war, but
neither does it admit that one of the belligerent
parties should in consequence of the success it
might obtain, seek to secure advantages of a nature
to modify the state of Europe, thus creating fresh
causes of disturbance. If the Emperor desired war'
in order to obtain satisfaction or advantage, he
would have intervened at the oommenoement, and
would not have allowed his allies to become
weakened in order not to have to restore their
cause. It would be necessary then for the grave
circumstances to arise, such as those pointed out
by the imperial letter, to determine the Emperor
to interfere. A war has now commenced re-
quiring very great efforts and sacrifices on both
sides. Whoever may be the victor will come
out of the contest sufficiently tried to fear to ex-
pose himself to a fresh struggle, and will not wish,
in the conditions of peace, to re-establish any of
those grievances which would excite tho just sus-
ceptibilities of France.

THE WAR IN GERMANY.
BERLIN, Jut 2.
The following official announcement has been
made here :

" In consequence of the successful storming of
Ciitschin, the junction of the armies under the
Crown Prince and Prince Frederick Charles is
looked upon as completely effected.
" Notwithstanding the recent severe and san-
guinary fighting, the Prussian army is in excellent
spirits."

BERLIN, JULY 2, 9.50 P.Y.

. ,
The following official telegram has been received
from the Prussian head-quarters :—" To-day the
King of Prussia arrived at Gitachin, where he was
received by Prince Frederick Charles. The streets
everywhere showed the traces of the obstinate en-
gagement which had been continued within the
town. The enemy fled in disorder under cover of
the night. The conduct of the Prussian troops
was excellent. A portion of the corps of the guard
repeatedly repulsed the charge of the Austrian
cavalry without forming square. The head-quarters
of Prince Frederick Charles have been removed
beyond Gitschin. The junction of the Ist and 2nd
army corps has been completely effected. Austrian
prisoners are being continually brought in, and
their number already exceeds five thousand.
The Austrian-Hanover, Ramming, and Martine
regiments were almost wholly annihilated, and the
18th Jager Battalion destroyed to the last man."

VIENNA, JULY 2.

The Wiener Abendpoat (evening edition of the
official Wiener Zeitung), says :—" Authentic intel-
ligence received here from the headquarters of the
army of the north states that Field Marshal Bene-
dek has found it necessary, from strategical reasons,
to take up a position between Koniggvatz and
Josephatadt. No further attack has been made on
this position, nor has there been any fresh
fighting—a proof that the Prussian losses
in the late battles must also have been
considerable; and that their troops are much
exhausted. This has been principally caused by
the Austrian artillery. The first Austrian army
corps and the Saxon army have joined the chief
Austrian army, and are ready for action. The
best possible spirit and the most undaunted cou-
rage prevails in the army. Important events are
expected within the next few days."

BOAT RACE FOR THE AMATEUR CHAMPIONSHIP.—
The annual sculling contest for the Wingfield Challenge
Sculls, and amateur championship of the Thames, was de-
cided yesterday afternoon over the long metropolitan
course. The London Pride steamboat accompanied the
race, which was appointed to start at 4.45, the following
being the result :—Mr. K B. Michell, Magdalen College,
Oxford, 1 ; Mr. W. B. Woodgate, Kingston Rowing Club,
2 ; Mr. J. G. Chambers, Third Trinity, Cambridge, O. Mr.
Michell, wit) was the favourite, had the worst station on
the Surrey side, Mr. Wnodgate being in the centre. On
getting off, at seven minutes past five o'clock, Mr. Cham-
bers was the first to show in front, but be was soon passed
by Mr. Woodgate, who cleared his opponents opposite the
Duke's Head Tavern, where Mr. Michell rowed into the
second place, the race after this being confined to these
two. At the Point Mr. Woodgate was nearly two lengths
in front, but Mr. Michell stuck to him very gamely, and,
after a succession of fine spurts, drew up and passed him
opposite Chiswick church, ultimately winning rather easily
by about six clear lengths.

ADVICE TO BUMMER TOURISTS.

The stream of tourists to Germany and Italy having
been intercepted by the war, and even Switzerland being
sufficiently near it to disturb that sensitive being, the
average tourist, the Times expects that not a few
people will be perplexed as to what they shall
do for their customary summer excursion. For
this class the Times has a suggestion. Ireland
supplies a complete substitute for the regular con-
tinental trip. It involves crossing a channel ; it brings an
Englishman amongst a new people, in many respects the
most charming of races to a casual visitor. Antiquities
are abundant, and there are old historic towns full of
memorable associations. If the visitor loves scenery,
be it grand, or picturesque, or quiet and homely—there is
no kind of charm which he may not find in Ireland. It is
scarcely inferior in picturesque beauty to the most favourite
resorts of travellers ; it displays an almost inexhaustible
variety of surface ; its coast scenery is unsurpassed, it is
full of abounding rivers and lakes; and its mountains,
if less grand than those of Wales and Scotland,
present peculiar and unequalled beauties. Nor need
the visitor be deterred by fear of want of accommo-
dation. In many places of the greatest resort well
kept and well built hotels are to be found. Let us
add that nothing could be more opportune than such
an influx of English visitors during the present year. Last
year even the usual slender stream of tourists was checked
by the preliminary murmurings of the Fenian conspiracy.
The country is now perfectly tranquil, and there is every-
thing to encourage the confidence of travellers. So we
hope that for this year, at all events, Ireland may profit
by a continental war ; and if our readers should be tempted
for once to make the experiment, we should not be sur-
prised if it proved the initiation of a new and natural
source of prosperity to that hitherto neglected country.
Those who go once will probably go again.

TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE.

In the great battle near this place yesterday the
Fusilier Guards captured 20 guns ; the Elizabeth
regiment, 10 guns; the First Guards, 8 guns; and
the 12th Hussars, 4 guns. Three flags have also
been taken. No reports have yet been received
from the other corps. The Austrians are retreat-
ing to Konigsgratz, pursued by the Prussian
cavalry, and are in complete rout. The road is
strewn with the arms and baggage they have
thrown away. The Austrians are abandoning
Pardubitz.

The Austrian force apparently consisted of five
army corps, which occupied a very strong position.
The 12th Prussian Hussars broke twu Austrian
squares.

Owing to the extent of the battle-field the losses
on either side are not yet correctly ascertained, but
10,000 Austrian prisoners have already been brought
in here.

THE HUNGARIAN LEGION.
The following correspondence between Kossuth
and Baron Ricaaoli is published in the Italia of
July 2:

Signor Baron,--The war which has just commenced
Pea reason to hope that the Hungarian Legion will be
13 011 calle on to march towards the object for which it
has been instituted. The legion burns with the desire of
Proving on the field of battle its gratitude to Italy and its
devotion to the country. Circumstances being favourable
to the increase of this Legion, I hope the government will
he of opinion that the time has come for its reorganisation
with a view of giving it a wider basis. If such should be
the intention of the government, I feel it to be my duty
to declare to your Excellency that I should be happy to
Place whatever influence I may possess amongst my
Mow-countrymen, and all my knowledge of things and
Persons, at the disposal of the government.
Florence, June 28, 1866.
To this Baron Ricasoli replied :
air —The Ministry of War having decided on the re-
organisation of the auxiliary Hungarian Legion on a more
ortended basis, accepts the offer of your co-operation, and
count upon your submitting to the ministry all the

NATIONAL CHORAL SOCIETY.
The performances of this society at Eneter-han,

brought to a obese for this (the sixth) seams. The pies.
performed were Handel's selebrated daa and Oak*"
and Lock's equally celebrated music in Matietill. Both
were admirable, and eminently suonierful. The ball was
crowded,i and the audience were sithusiartic in their
applaase. Mr. Martha has brought his choir to a high
degree of eneellersas. Its numerical etrength is sufficiently
great for any purpose to which it can be applied. The
sopranos, especially, have been most happily chosen, and
their young, fresh cokes produce a body of tone as sweet,
mellow, and grateful to the err as any musical sounds we
Law ever heard. This is a metier of the utmost impart.
tees, far the easelosees thus infused into the whole body
of &oral mind more than makes up for any deficieseiss in
the precision acquired by training. Not that such defi-
ciencies grist is any great extent, but still they do rod*
and Mn Marlin has it is his power to arrive at a still
higher degree of precision, and that musical chiaroosniro
which results from minute gradations of sound.
