CnIIPVLSORY VWCA?TON.

The speakers at the Manchester meeting being meetly
ultraliberal, the Times is not surprised to find that their
first idea is to abridge the liberty at present enjoyed by
individuals. Let them consider the case of a parent in
extreme poverty, the labour of whose child is necessary
to the family for procuring its very subsistance, and then
tell us on what ground they think the state is justified in
depriving a poor family of its bread, in order to teach one
of its members to read, write, and cipher. People
may be too poor to afford the luxury of in-
struction. It is not for the state to drive them into
, the workhouse in order to faros education upon them.
I The speakers at Manchester nppear to have proposed the
destruction of the whole of our educational machinery.

TO THE =nos OF TEN =PERM,

Srit,—ln your report of this case in your pow
of to-day you have given an account of the motion ends
on behalf of Mr. flothern on Mr. Robeitson's affidavit, sad
you have given the substance of the paragraphs =
a conversation alleged to have taken place at my
between Mr. Robertson, Mr. Weldon, and myself.
The meetin; is question took place (as did a minim
one at which sir. Robertson was not present) by muds.
ment between Mr. Capel, the solicitor, myself, and ]fir.
Weldon, who was a client of Mr. Capel, and had 'equa ls!
him to undertake the came.

I desire most distinctly to state that the conversofim
which then took place doss not resemble that Gated la Gs
affidavit in any material particular, except in the rehears
made by Mr. Robertson to the brief in " The Qum I.

getter with that evidence itself.

THE USE OF THE NEEDLE GUN.

We read in the Moititeur du Soir :—" Letters
from Berlin attribute in great part to the employment
of the needle gun (Zundnaclelgewehr) the success
achieved by the armies of King William. Accon,-
ing to these communications the Austrian bat-
talion% conforming to the instructions of Marshal
Benedek, were to have endeavoured in all these encoun.
tees to attack their adversaries with the bayonet, but they
rarely succeeded. The Prussian lines, often disposed
in three ranks, as in the time of Frederick the
Great, and contrary to the prescriptions of their
existing regulations, allowed them to approach
to about 150 yards, the offioen preventing
the men from firing, and habitually recommending them
to stoop down so as to offer a smaller mark to the fire of
the enemy. But from the moment that the enemy's
forme arrived at that distance, they were received with
five or six rounds, fired shot upon shot with the extraordi-
nary rapidity attainable by the system of breech-loading,
and which struck down every time so many men that
the attacking party were forced to retire in disorder, not-
withstanding the heroic example of their officers, of whom
the Prussian reports speak most highly. On the rare occa-
sions when, favoured by the ground, the Austrians have
succeeded in crossing bayonets, they have always had
the advantage. The checks suffered by the Austrian
cavalry must also be principally attributed to the new
weapon. The Prussian horse have adopted the tactics of
awaiting the charge of the Austrian squadrons, and covering
them with a well sustained fire from their needle carbines.
They kill thus a great many men and horses, and only put
themselves in motion when they see the enemy beginning
to hesitate, and so presenting themselves within reach
under circumstances naturally unfavourable."

Sir E. HcAD in the chair.

The report, which had been previously circulated, hay.
iug been taken as read,
The Cii.tl 'MAN moved its adoption without making any
remarks, the report containing, he observed, all requisite
information.

Mr. SAsirsoN seconded the motion.

Mr. Doan moved a resolution to the effect that steps
should be taken for opening a large portion of the com-
pany's territory for European colonisation, and that a com-
mittee should be appointed to carry out the object. There
was, he said, some difference on that subject, which occu-
pied fifteen pages of the report, but that was no reason ,
why it should not be discussed. There were three ques-
tions involved—what was their position in law, what was
their position in fact, and what they ought now to do?
As regarded their legal position, the preamble showed
clearly thlt what was contemplated at the time of the first
settlement was the full industrial development of the ter-
ritory.

PROPOSED ARMISTICE BETWEEN

THE BELLIGERENTS.

PARIS, THURSDAY.
The Moniteur of this morning makes the fol-
lowing announcement :
"An important event has just occurred. After
having maintained the honour of his arms in
Italy, the Emperor of Austria, concurring in the
ideas expressed in the Emperor Napoleon's
letter of the 11th June to his Minister for
Foreign Affairs, cedes Venetia to the French
Emperor and accepts his mediation for the con-
clusion of peace between the belligerents.
The Emperor Napoleon hastened to respond to
this summons, and immediately communicated
with the Kings of Prussia and Italy, in order to
obtain an armistice."

Nut' OITSCHIN, JULY 4, EvaNuia.

The number of killed and wounded on both
sides, in the battle of yesterday, between Konig-
gratz and Josephstadt, cannot yet be accurately
stated. The Prussians have captured up to the
present 14,000 unwounded Austrian prisoners and
116 cannon.

Field Marshal von Gable= has just arrived here
with a flag of truce.

TRAUTENAU, JULY 4, EViNING.

The following details of the battle between the
Austrians and Prussians on the 3rd inst. have been
received here :

The first army, under Prince Frederick Charles,
was already engaged unsupported at 8 in the
morning, and had a severe struggle with the Aus-
trians, who were in superior force. The second
army, under the command of the Crown Prince,
although stationed far from the battle-field, arrived
by dint of great exertions at the scene of action in
time to take part in the conflict, and directed its
attack against the Austrian right wing. This move-
ment decided the battle in favour of the Prussians.
The Austrians withdrew in the direction of
Pardubitz. An immense number of prisoners and
numerous guns and trophies acre captured. The
losses sustained by the First Prussian Army were
considerable, but those of the Second Army were
small considering the brilliant victory achieved.
The troops enthusiastically cheered the King
and the royal princes commanding the two armies.

AUSTRIAN ACCOUNT.
VIENNA, JULY 4.

Yesterday a battle was fought between Konig-
gratz and Josephstailt. Up to 2 p.m. the advan-
tage was on the side of the Austrians, but after
that time the enemy began to outflank and drive
back the Austrian army.

the master and Mr. Robert Davidson, the second dim *
defiance. Inspector Bennett, who was on board wit{
warrant and looking out for another person took the
soner into custody. He was removing him from the
when the prisoner threw him with great viols:me free
bulwarks to the deck. The bulwarks are four feet het
The inspector was much hurt. The prisoner then Ns
ducted himself with so much violence that it was ism
necessary to put him in irons.
The cam was fully made out against the prisoner, 4,
endeavoured to make it appear that he went on board the
Collizigwood on legitimate business, but the nights*
said, to prevent disorder, confusion, and robberies on teed
ships on their arrival in port, it was very wisely emeisi
that no person should be permitted to go on board se
vessel without the consent of the captain and officers sad
the vessel was safely moored, and even then the autheeity
of the master and officers did not meas.
The tweeter believed the object of the prisoner I
going on board the Collingwood was robbery, and Rothe,
the gaoler of the court, said the pawner was convicted
years ago for stealing speller and sentenced to six mantis
imprisonment and hard labour, and that linos then be be
been engaged in removing Irish paupers from London*
Ireland, and left one party at Dublin instead of Cork, for
which he was sentenced to three months' impriaonmst
and bard labour on the other aide of St. Georges Channel
The prisoner had brought disgrace on the administrates 1
of the poor laws by his hese conduct
Mr. Paget said that some inquiry ought to be made rt.
spatting the matter spoken to by Roche, and hew such s
man as the prisoner came to be employed in the removal ef
paupers from Roland to Ireland. The disclosurebr
come upon him surprise. Re should convict the pi.
sorer for the salsa on the inspector, which was dm*
made out, and sentence him to be imprisoned fee the
months and kept to hard labour.

ITALY.

FLORENCE, JULY 5.

The Florence papers of to-day declare that
should the Austrian troops evacuate Venetia in
order to carry on the war against Prussia, the
Italian army will closely pursue them and effect a
junction with the Prussian army. Italy, they add,
will not abandon Prussia either in victory or
defeat.

The same papers express their belief that the
campaign will be immediately resumed and conti-
nued until the Austrian monarchy be entirely dis-
membered. A complete understanding is said to
exist between the Italian government and the Na-
tional Hungarian and Croatian parties.
A Bavarian army corps has entered the Tyrol
and is proceeding in the direction of Italy. It is
asserted that the Austrians have evacuated all the
positions which they lately occupied on the right
bank of the Mincio.

TORRE MALAMBERTI, JULY 4.

After the fight which took place yesterday
between the Italian volunteers and the Austrians,
the latter evacuated their positions on Monte Snello
and the Caffaro. These positions will be imme-
diately occupied by Garibaldi.

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

Signor Baron,—The war which has just commenced
gives reason to hope that the Hungarian Legion will be
soon callei 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
be 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
fellow-countrymen, and all my knowledge of things and
Persons, at the disposal of the government.
Florence, June 28, 1866.
To this Baron Ricasoli replied :
Sir,—The Ministry of War having decided on the re-
organieation of the auxiliary Hungarian Legion on a more
extended basis, accepts the offer of your co-operation, and
I Count upon your submitting to the ministry all the

This cue was now put in the paper in order that the
order might be formally made. By an order of the Divorce
Court the life-income given to the wife by settlement was
ordered to be paid to the husband after the divorce, and
the husband now applied for an order that the Accountant-
General should pay the dividends on a sum of money in
court to the husband. The wife bad been served but did
not appear . The Master of the Rolls had refund to make
the order.

Their lordships made the order, butrefused to direct the

COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE.
Jima. 4.
(Before the Judge Ordinary.)
WOOD N. WOOD AND STANGER.

Mr. Coleridge, Q.C., Mr. Serjeant Tindal Atkinson, and
Dr. Spinks for the petitioner ; Mr. Serjeant O'Brien, Mr.
Gar di, and Mr. Wills for the respondent ; the Queen's
Advocate and Mr. Searle for the co-respondent.
Mr. Henry Walter Wood, an architect and surveyor at
Nottingham, sued for a divorce from his wife, Frances
Mary Wood, on account of her adultery with Mr. George
Raton Stanger, a medical man, and deacon of an indepen-
dent congregation in the same town ; from whom he claimed
5,000 i. as damages. The respondents simply pleaded a denial.
The parties were married in May, 1857, at which time the
petitioner was about 30 years of age, and the respondent,
then a Miss Crofts, the daughter of a lace manufacturer,
was about 10 years younger. There were three children,
and the parties lived very happily together, but not ever
afterwards ; for soon after her first confinement the re-'
spondent took to drinking, and there were disputes both as
to the management of the children and a habit she had of
going to the Roman catholic church, Mr. Wood beingtcmi
self a unitarian. There was, however, no serious broach
for many years ; but in 1863, Mrs. Wood being on a
visit to her brother-in-law, Mr. Arthur Wood, who
with his wife had • theatrical nt at
Devonport, left a letter behind her which fe into her hue-
band's hands. It was signed " George," and was in the
the co-respondent's handwriting. It was of • decidedly
amatory character, but Mrs. Arthur Wood did not think
fit to communicate it to the petitioner. The relations
with the parties did not improve. Mr. Wood grew dis-
satisfied with the visits of Mr. Stanger, who was an inti-
mate friend of the family, and wan also its medical at-
tendant, and forbade him the house. Soon after this (in
1865) Mrs. Wood left her home, alleging that her husband's
language was ?sinful to her, and at this juncture Mrs. A.
Wood communicated tohim the letterreferred to. This led to
his institution of the snit. The co-respondent, who is about
50 years of age, is a married man with a large family.
Evidence of acts of some familiarity was given by the
servant, of the petitioner and by the sextons of the General
Cemetery at Nottingham.
At the conclusion of the husband's case the court ad-
journed.

THE POLICE COURTS.

MARYLEBONE.

Police-constable Nathaniel Francis, 189 S, was charged
on a summons with unlawfully assaulting Charles Such.
This case has arisen out of one already fully reported,
wherein a constable, named Nesbit, was sentenced to two
months' hard labour for assaulting the present complainant.
The man Nesbit and another constable, named Jones,
were included in the above indictment; but since the
summonses were issued Jones has decamped, and conse-
quently Francis wax the only man left to answer the pre-
sent charge.
Mr. Bury Hutchinson, solicitor, appeared for the de-
fendant.

The evidence given in support of the summons went to
show that on the morning of Sunday, the 10th June, at
ten minutes past 12 o'clock, the complainant, who had just
come out of the beer-house, the Prince of Wales, William-
street, Hampatelul-roadt met the defendant, who was
not then in uniform. The defendant pushed him
rudely on one side, and on complainant asking him why he
had done so the defendant struck him in the mouth and
knocked him down. .

On the other hand several witnesses were called, who
proved that defendant had not assaulted the complainant
in any way whatever.
Mr. Mansfield discharged the summons.
Inspector Nicks, of the S division, who attended to
watch the case on behalf of the Commissioners of Police,
addressed the bench with reference to certain remarks
the magistrate had made on a former °cession, and where
ho imputed blame to the Commissioners of Police for
retaining Nesbit, Jones, and Francis in their service
after the remarks be had passed on them on the pre-
vious examination, which took place on the 27th ultimo.
The inspector said the commissioners were entirely blame-
less, fur in the first place the magistrate had not marked
on the charge-sheet any complaint he had to make against
any of the constables ; secondly, when Such complained at
Scotland-yard of the treatment he had received he was
immediately requested by the commissioners to take the
case before a magistrate, and that the constables should
attend to answer the charge, and that Such delayed for
nearly a fortnight applying for the summonses ,• and that,
lastly, if the summonses had been promptly applied for the
men would there and then have appeared, and not have
troubled the bench any further in the matter.
Mr. Mansfield said that in the case brought before him
that day there was almost a balance of testimony ; but
the weight of evidence was in favour of defendant, who
had brought independent witnesses who proved that he
could not have committed the await imputed to him.

ADVICE TO soma TOMBS&

The stream of tourist* 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 expecte that not a few
people will be perplexed as to what they shall
do for their customary summer excursion. For
this clan the Times has • 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 noes 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 moat 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 lees 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 hotel, 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 prelintinazi 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 evepta, Ireland may profit
by a continental war ; and if our readers should be tempted
for once to make the experiment, we should not be err-
prised if it proved the initiation of a new and natural
source of prosperity to that hitherto neglected country.
Those who go once 11 at probably go again.

' It was arranged that as far as possible the two returns
should be heard together—that is to say, that evidence ap-
plicable to both should not be repeate.i.
I The following additional evidence was given in support
of the petitioners case :
I Michael Duggan, shoemaker, examined—Was canvassed
for his vote by Mr. Morris. Mr. John Pierce was with him
'at the time. Did not promise to vote for Mr. Morris as
he was inclined to vote for Mr. Lever. Afterwards heard
there was a meeting of shoemakers at l'ierce's house.
! Went there. Pierce told the meeting that wit-
'ness had refused to vote for Mr. Morris, and
they cried, " Turn him out." Witness left the room
and Pierce followed hira, and said he would see him all
right forsl. if he would vote for Morris and Blennerhassett.
Witness did so, and got a card which he brought to Pierce,
who said he had not money to pay the 5/., but would do so
when he got 841. he was expecting. Only got 2a. 6d. from
him. Saw Pierce about to pay two men and witness
upbraided him, and he said he had no money to pay him.
I The two men went upstairs, and when they came down
they said they had been paid, and they gave him a treat

" " it.
Crow-examined—l first told this about Mr. Morris and
Pierce being together about a month after the election,
when I was seeing how I could recover the money from
him. All Pierce said when I WWI canva.aing was,
" There's Duggan." I was in a public-house at the time.
I was angry with Pierce for not giving me the money. He
jumped over the counter one day to beat me. (Laughter.)
Mr. Powell—Why did ho do so ?—llecause I was teasing
him for the money.
Re-examined—tierces wife gave witness 7s. 10cL in
drink. That was all he got along with the 2s. fid.
To Mr. Oliphant—There was something printed on the
card I got, but I'm blessed if I remember what it was.

SPECTACLES are NECESSARY
WHEN the Eyes water, are misty, or fatigued
after reading ;
WHENthe print blends, and the letters appear
to be double ;
WHEN more light than formerly is requisite—
per example:
WHEN the candle is placed between the eyes
and the book ;
WHEN objects must be held further off to be
seen more clearly ;
WHEN much difficulty is found in threading a
needle.
The above are premonitory signs of decaying sight. and indi-
cate that an optician should be consulted without delay. From
long and extensive practice Messrs. Thomas Harris and Son are

EARL SHAFTESBURY AND " ECCE HOMO."—At
meeting of the Church Pastoral Aid Society, held on
Thursday last, the Earl of Shaftesbury, who was in the
chair, spoke as follows of the new and popular theological
work, " Ecce Homo." "See; said the noble earl (we
quote the report in the Rerordl, " how men are deluded,
how they are misled by those who should be their
guides. (Hear, hear.) I confess I was perfectly aghast
the other day when speaking to a clergyman and
asking him his opinion of that most pestilential
book ever vomited, I think, from the jaws of bell, I
mean ' Ecce Homo'—(hear, hear),—when I asked him
what was his opinon of that book, he deliberately told
me—he being a great professor of Evangelical religion—
that that book had excited his deepest admiration, and
that he did not hesitate to say that it had conferred great
benefit upon his own soul. Why, if we are to have this
miserable and uncertain teaching, if the guides to whom
we look for light and help can approve such works as that,
how can we expect that the maw of the people, the mar
even of the educated middle classes who are supposed to
think for themselves, will not be led to wander out of the
I right way r

AUSTRIA AND ITALY.

VIENNA, MLY 8.
The semi-official Oerterreiaiache Zeitung of to-day
says :—" A peaceful solution of the pending diffi-
culties has not yet become impossible. The com-
munications brought by Count Mulinen from Paris
may perhaps offer such guarantees for the sin-
cerity of Italy that the Austrian army on the
southern frontier would be replaced on a normal
peace footing.
Intelligence continues to be received of arma-
ments and military movements in Prussia, Italy,
and the middle German States.
In consequence of the proposition made by
Saxony at the Federal Diet, Bavaria is said to
have addressed a note to Prussia, requesting in-
formation respecting the latter's threatening atti-
tude towards Saxony. Prussia replied that she
would not enter Saxon territory so long as Saxony
was not occupied by Austrian troops.
The heads of the offices for the collection of the
public revenue have received instructions to ex-
change, on demand, notes of the government cur-
rency for bank notes, by which means any differ-
ence in the value of the two currencies will be
avoided. The decree on the forced currency will
be extended to Venetia. _ .

BERLIN, MAT 8.

The Berlin papers announce that a great de_
monstration will take place this evening in front
of Count Von Bismarck's hotel to congratulate him
on his escape from the attempt on his life.
The perpetrator of the attempt against the life of
Count von Bismarck is named Blind, but it is
understood that he is not the son of Karl Blind,
the political refugee in London.
Blind, while unobserved in prison, stabbed him-
self in the throat nine times with a pocket-knife
having several blades.
The physicians declared the wounds not dan-
gerous, as no important artery had been severed,
and he was put in a strait waistcoat, but died this
morning.

The Chairman asked if the prisoner was known.
Sergeant Ham replied in the negative. He was a stranger,
to him.
The Chairman doubted as to its being the prisoner's first
offence, but as he was not known he would gin him the
benefit of that by passing a light sentence. He ordered
him to be kept at hard labour for six months.
