PUBLIC PEELING AT VIENNA.

A letter from Vienna of the 2nd says .
the last four and twenty hours there has been a tiny
panic here, and people begin to talk of the postibility4 •
the capital city of the empire falling into the headed di
Prussians. Great depression also prevails in high Mlits
circles, and during the last few hours I have reps
been told that the Emperor knows no more of what be
reoently occurred in Bohemia than the other inhabits*
of the metropolis. How this may be I know not, bd
certain it is that up to two o'clock on Satuoliko
(the 30th ult..) his Majesty was under the impreujos hit
the state of affairs in the northern part of the eapi . du.
on the whole, satisfactory. He was aware that, dd.
had been a aeries of sanguinary engagements, bat h
had no reason to doubt that Benedek would fail to still
his object, which was to prevent the union of th
two Prussian armies in Bohemia. At 4 e'oloi
on the above-mentioned day there was to bod
been • great dinner at oonrt, and shortly helm
that hour the persons invited were informed that in a*
sequenoe of news which had just come in from de
northern seat of war his Majesty could not have m
pleasure of receiving them. Late in the evening a Wild
Council was held, and it lasted so long that the Ewen
passed the night in the palace in this city, instead e
driving out to Schonbrunn, as is his wont. Wb th
Prussians entered Barony the public expecte4.that Bee
iek would occupy the passes leading from that ley
dom and Prussian Silesia into Bohemia, but if mei
layman ventured to hint at the necessity for his debit I
he was curtly told that such a measure would into%

now a general outcry against the commander-in-did d
the northern army, and he is loudly accused of havii
' dawdled away' his time at Olmuts, instead
taking the proper measures for securing eligible pm

Though we are still without detailed information Neil

made on it by a very considerable part of tie
army under the command of the Crown Prince
Prussia. Although the Austrian corps, ask
Lieutenant-General von Ramming, held its own
Nachod on the 27th June, it suffered a very heavy low, s
its flank was long exposed to the attacks of the Prezio
who were in great force on the heights which skirt tberisi
leading from Neustadt and Nachod to Sktilitz. The Sas
army and the Ist Austrian Corps, under Lieutenant-Geo
ral Clam-Gallas, are said to have been sadly cut up by tir
Prumbuis on the 29th of June, and it is highly protebb
that such was the case, as very large convoys it
wounded men are now on their way to the rear of th
Austrian army."

and is the first recognition in that way of the
tendency of American advancement.—New York ~

The plaintiff, who bad been in the service of Lord
Vrian as butler, entered the defendant's service in the
same capacity in 11164, at a salary of 501., to be increased
to 551. per annum if he remained 12 months. The defen-
dant resides at Eastwood-park, near Berkeley, in Glouces-
tershire, and the plaintiff's case was that the under set.
rants having been invited to a servants' party at Lady
Ducie's, returned the compliment in August, 18135, whilst
Bir George and Lady Jenkinson were in Scotland. When
Sir George returned he dismissed the plaintiff without
notioc.

In cross-examination the plaintiff stated that the party
was orderly conducted, and that he was not aware that
some of the female servants were out in the park with men
of notoriously bad character at 2 o'clock in the
morning, and that the police did not make
any complaint. When he entered the defendant's
service he told him that his (plaintiff's) wife
resided several miles away. When, however, Sir George
left she came to lodge outside the park gates, and con-
trary to Sir George's direction, he slept out of the house
during his absence two or three nights a week. He also
charged Sir George with having added to the receipt given
when he made up his account "all due to this time,"
after plaintiff had signed his name, and without his know-
ledge. The party broke up about 10 o'clock.
Hr. Charles Pollock, in opening the defendant's ease, re-
marked that he was sorry they should have to decide a
case which might have been as well settled in Vie county
court.

The Lord Chief Justice said the case ought never to have
been brought into this court.
Sir Goo. Jenkinson was called and stated that he defended
this case on principle. lie made no complaint or ob-
jection to the party. When in Scotland he received a
communication from a neighbour, and also from the police,
to the effect that two men of loose character, living at
Thornburg, were at his house on the night of the party,
and also on the following Sunday night, and that they
were there as late as 2 o'clock with some of the female
servants in the park, the house door open, and the
plaintiff out of the house. He returned home
immediately, and saw the plaintiff. Defendant after-
wards fully investigated the matter, and being satisfied of
the truth of his information, and finding also that the
plaintiff had slept out of the house contrary to his direc-
tion, leaving his property at the mercy of others, he dis-
missed him, paying him what was due up to that time.
The addition to the receipt was made in the plaintiff's
presence, and his attention particularly called to it before
he signed it.

A communication passed between the learned counsel,
when

Mr. Kemp said he would assent to a juror being with-
drawn, the defendant having kindly consented to forego
his costa

The Lord Chief Justice said it was very liberal on the
part of the defendant. The moment the plaintiff admitted
that be slept out of the house without the defendant's
permission there was an end of his case. Such conduct
was a sufficient ground of discharge.
Mr. Kemp said be had so informed his client. He was
in ignorance of that fact before ho heard the plaintiff's
statement.
A juror was accordingly withdrawn.

COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE.
(Before the Judge Ordinary.)
PAGANI r. PAGAN( AND FINING.

In this case a compromise was effected, and the jury (a
special one► was discharged without giving a verdict before
say of the facts had been disclosed.

CHAPLIN P. CHAPLIN, 11100116, AND HULLER.
The Queen's Advocate, Mr. Coleridge, Q.C., and Dr.
Wambey for the petitioner ; Mr. Serjeant Ballantine and
Dr. Spinks, for the respondent ; Mr. Serjeant O'Brien and
Mr. Yorke, for the co-respondent Moore.
Charles James Chaplin sued for a divorce on the ground
of his wife Sarah Ketheline Chaplin's adultery with
Francis Joseph Theodore Muller. and Wm. Charles Moore.
The respondents all denied the allegation.
The petitioner was a member of a firm of wine-merchants
in Mark-lane. In 1852, when a lad of 17, be was intro-
duced by his cousin, a person named Downes, to the
respondent, then Sarah Ratheline Farringdon, a house-
keeper in the service of Messrs. Thornthvnute, Wood, and
Co., in Newgate-street. The respondent afterwards let apart-
ments in Myddelton-square, Clerkenwell, and he became
a lodger in her house. She was some 17 or 18 years his
senior; but in 1856 he married her. In 1861 there was a
separation ; and the petitioner who at the time of his
marriage was a person of no means, but had become
a member of a prosperous house, allowed her
2001. a year, though he afterwards reduced that
item by one half. It was alleged that after the separation
the respondent again let apartments, and that she had
committed adultery with two of her lodgers, one of whom
was a commission agent and the other a clerk at St.
Katharine's dock.

THE POLICE COURTS.

(THIS DAY.)

ROW-STREET.
"EVERYBODY'S LTGGAGE."
fl'lrge Russell Cruise, who is said to be respectably
connected, was charged with being on the premises of
South Eastern Railway at the Charing cross
station without lawful excuse, and also with assaulting
Sergeant Monckton, the detective Alper on special duty
at the station. 9
Sergeant Monckton stated that about half-past 8 o'clock
lest evening he was on duty at the platform, and noticing
the priaoner, suspected and watched hint. Occasionally
hfor some months past, and constantly for several days, he
ad noticed the prisoner loitering about the sta-
tion, sometimes for as much as three hours at a
time, curiously scanning everybody's luggage (except
his own, of which witness never saw any true.)
The prisoner went into • closet, and witness followed him,
wet asked hint if he hail obtained his ticket. The prisoner
" What has that Wei° with you !" Witness replied,
1 arn • pollee oMeer specially employed by the railway
'Puny, and I have • right to interrogate you." The

Mr. Knox said it was proved the girl's father was away,
and that she was utterly destitute. He should certainly
send her to an institution for five years.
The girl was subsequently taken by Welsh, the office-
keeper, to that valuable institution, the Cripples' Home,
Marylebone•road, and at once admitted.

GREENWICH.
IXTRAORDINARY CH•1101t OP PiLONT.
Mr. Alfred Diamond, giving his address the Crown
Hotel, St. Peter's Ipswich, was charged before Mr. Trdll
with stealing 11/.los. in gold, the moneys of Mrs. Sarah
Collins, landlady of the Railway Bell public-house, Forest-
bill, Sydenham.

Mr. Cockle attended for the prosecution, and Mr. Cart-
tar for the prisoner.
The prosecutrix said her son bad married the prisoner's
daughter, and lived with her. She gave her son 111. 10. s.
in gold to take care of for her, and which was placed in a
boa in his bedroom for safety. She saw the money in the
box between 11 and 12 the previous day, and between seven
and 8 o'clock the prisoner came to her house, and after-
wards said ho had got the money and intended keep it,
as her son owed him 10/.

James Vincent, son of the prceeeutrix, said that between
7 and 8 o'clock the previous evening he saw his
wife and her father (the • r) enter the house together
and proceed uptairs. e followed, and saw them in his
room, when the prisoner broke open the box containing
the money, which he took out and placed in his pocket.
As the prisoner refused to give up the money, witness's
mother gave him iido custody.
In cross-examination the witness admitted having bor-
rowed 10/. of the prisoner, but denied that the money the
prisoner was charged with stealing belonged to him or
that he bad authorised his wife to pay it to the prisoner.
Mr. Carttar said he proposed to show that this statement
was untrue, and that the money had been iadd to the pri-
soner, who had been twice put to the trouble and expense
of coining from Ipswich his daughter for the debt due
to him from her husband. He then called

George Paternoster, who said he came from Ipswich with
the prisoner, and accompanied him to the Railway Bell, at
Sydenhain. Witness saw the prisoner's daughter at the
bottom of the stairs, and the prisoner afterwards showed
him money which he said had been paid to him.
Maria Rosetta Vincent said the prisoner was her father.
On the previous evening she paid him the money he was
charged with stealing, according to the wish of her hus-
band, who had given it to her from time to time to save
for that purpose. She took the money herself from the
box and gave it to her father.
Mr. Trsill—Then it is not true what your husband
states, that he saw your father break open the box and
take the money out?
Witness—lt is not. My husband broke the box open
himself, after I had taken the money out, and I had the
key in my pocket.
The witness's husband said this statement was false.

Mr. Traill—What means have you of saving money
Witness—None at all. I and my wife live at my mother's
house, and I have about 7s. or Ile. a week, according to the
beer I sell.

Mr. Trail! (to the wife)—Where did you suppose your
husband obtained the money that you say he gave you to
save and pay to your father?
The wife—l supposed he took it out of his mother's till.
Mr. Traill—You are not satisfied with endeavouring to
show that your husband has committed perjury, but you
wish to make him nut also a thief. You can stand down.
I do not believe you.
Sergeant Best produced the money taken from the pri-
soner. _

Mr. Traill said he did not believe that any felonious
act was intended by the prisoner, but it was clear to whom
the money belonged, and unless it wu agreed that it should
he restored to the prosecutrix, he should be prepared to
send the case to the sections.

A cousultation then took place, and the prisoner
having assented to this arrangement, he was discharged
from custody.

A MOTHER AND DAUGHTER KILLED BY LIGHT-
RING. —An inquest was held by Mr. W. Edwards, coroner,
on the 2nd inst., at Deeping St. Nicholas, on the bodies of
Caroline the wife of Joseph Coulson, and Mary Jane Coulson,
their daughter, aged four years, who lost their lives from
lightning in the terrific storm of Saturday last. The hus-
band of the deceased woman occupied a cottage at the
lower end of the farm of Mr. Joseph Campain, men. The
poor woman, with several of their children, was in the
front lower room of their cottage when the electric fluid
passed through the chimney and roof, killing instanta-
neously the mother and child who sat beside her. The
other children, who were in the room, were uninjured.
The time of the accident was indicated by a clock, which
was in the room, having stopped at six minutes to 2.
There were no external injuries ou either of the bodies.—
Stamford .Iferewry.

THE V STRIKE IN THE BUILDING TRADE AT
PREAT, —After a struggle with the master builders, which
has now lasted nine week,., on the question of wages, hones
of labour, and number of apprentices, the operative car-
penters and joiners of Preston held a general meeting at the
Port Admiral Hotel in that town on Wednesday evening
to consider a proposition of the Builders' Association. The
proposition was to the effect that a certain number of
masters should meet an equal number of men to discuss the
questions in dispute, and, if possible, to bring the strike to
an end, and that whatever points they may not
agree upon shall be left for arbitration. A similar
resolution of the men had been forwarded to the Builders'
Association on Saturilay, but in it nothing was said of arbi-
tration, to which the operatives are strongly opposed, ar-
guing that a settlement arrived at between the masters and
men themselves will be most likely to lead to a satisfac-
tory and lasting arrangement. On Wednesday night, after
a discussion which lasted two hours and a half, the men re-
solved that a deputation of six of their number meet six of
the masters, with power to make concessions, but the prin-
ciple of arbitration was still repudiated • and, as the mas-
ters insist upon it, there is no likelihood they will meet the
deputation from the men. On Tuesday eight men ar-
rived in the town from Aberystwith, Wales, for the
masters, and they were received at the station by a
number of their association, and a number of the men on
strike. A very lively scene ensued, the masters trying
to get the stranger:. to the Albert Hotel, and the men endea-
vouring to induce them to go to their club-house. In one
instance the latter succeeded. On Wednesday afternoon, in
Fisheivate, a similar scene took place. One of the Welsh-
men, accompanied by a foreman, was met by a number of
the operatives, who forthwith seized him, and a vigorous
struggle began for possession of the man, to the great
amusement of a crowd of spectators. Ultimately the ope-
ratives were victorious, and, amid derisive laughter at the
discomfited foreman, marched off the Welshman with shouts
of "Joiners for ever!" Two others of the imported men
were met as they left work at Mr. Turner's, Pump-street,
on Wednesday evening, and were induced to go with the
men ; and a fifth has been persuaded to leave the employ
of Mr. Midghall, Friargate. They will all be sent home
again, if they have not been ileepatched already. The pro-
bability is that the strike will continue some time longer.
Meantime the summer is going, and no work done yet.
TELEGRAPH CoNsoLtnarioN.—The American and
Western Union Telegraph companies are about concluding
an agreement of union which amounts to a consolidation of
interests. The new consolidation will control and operate
I over 104,000 miles of telegraph wire, covering all the ter-
ritory and connecting all points of importance from New-
foundland to San Francisco and Vaccouver's Island. From
the latter point a line 14,000 miles, to St. Petersburg, will
be done within a year. Cuba and the West Indies will be
connected, and the success of the Atlantic cable in August
next is confidently hoped for.—Amerioznpaper.
