VICTORIA PARK.

Lord J. MANNERS asked the First Commissioner of
Works if it was true that a bill was before Parliament
which would sanction the erection of gasworks within a
short distance of Victoria Park; and, if so, whether it was
his intention to oppose that bill ?

Mr. COWPER said h• did not think that any noxious
influence would prevail from the erection of prudently
constructed gasworks 34 feet from the park. He should
ask, however, for th• insertion of clauses to protect the
park.

for the people to be content to return to their for-
mer state of quiescence. We may notice in this an
awkward conjunction of affairs. The Italians are
exhibiting such eagerness for war that it will natu-
rally make the .Austrians more than ever suspicious,
and increase the indignation of Prussia by keeping
up their armaments on the Italian frontier. It NI ill
require great firmness on the part of France to
prevent a collision taking place between these
States in their present unsettled condition. There
is now more reason than ever to animadvert
upon the course pursued by Italy, because
had she maintained a proper reserve, and
not sought to mix herself up in the matter, all
this last discussion might have been prevented.
Austria could have come to terms with Prussia re-
specting disarmament, and much of the angry feel-
ing that has crept into the despatches could have
been avoided. At any rate, we cannot but concede
some praise to the Government of France for its
prompt declaration of yesterday—a statement which
must exercise an influence upon the Councils of
Europe, and tend to promote the interests of peace.

PROVIDENCE ROW NIGHT REFUGE,
FOR

HOMELESS WOMEN AND CHILDREN,
14A, Providence-row, Finsbury, E.C.
Sixty Thousand Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and
Breakfasts, have been given in this Institution to the
destitute, who otherwise would have had to pass the
nights in the bleak streets or under railway arches.
At present nearly 500 Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and
Breakfasts, aro given gratuitously every week. The poor
from all parts are admitted, the only condition being that
they aro homeless and starving. The Manager &c.,
receives no remuneration whatever. Notwithstand-
ing the provision made by the Poor Houses, each
night numbers of young women, children, and orphans
are, for want accommodation, refused admittance, and have
to spend night after night in the cold, wet, and sleet. To
meet this evil, and to provide more ample accommoda-
tion, £2,000 has been raised, but to accomplish the
work a sum of at least £l,OOO more will be required.
Besides providing shelter for the homeless, this year it
is proposed, as far as the donations obtained for the pur-
pose will allow, to give broad and coals to poor families
in want. Will you, in your charity, help to carry on and
accomplish what has been begun ? Will you help to give
shelter to the really homeless, and food to the really
starving ? Tho smallest donation will be most welcome,
and, night and morning, the prayers of the destitute will
be offered in your behalf;
SUBSCRIPTIONS aro earnestly requested, and will he

THE FOUTEH JULY IN PARIS.

A letter, dated Paris, July 5, says :—Yesterday
afternoon the Americans in Paris met to cele-
brate the anniversary of their national indepen-
dence by a fete champetre at the Pre Catelan, Bois
de Boulogne.
The clouds which had covered the sky during the
earlier part of the day broke about four o'clock,
and the sun shone in full glory to lend additional
zest to the enjoyment of the crowds collected.

About the same time the Prince Imperial, by in-
vitation of the Committee, visited the fete, and, dis-
mounting from his carriage, took his place in the
tent where the children's ball was in lively progress.
He remained for half-an-hour, and then departed
amid hearty American cheers for himself and the
Emperor. The compliment to the Americans
was a very pleasant one and very kindly meant.
senlinor
the
and dancing,eevenin t gtheco hildren gave way to their
excellent
music, occupied
the attention of the many who were not attending
to the wants of the inner man. The tables were
bountifully covered with eatables, and there seemed
to be small lack of wherewithal to drink,

Among the distinguished gentlemen present we
noticed the Hon. John Bigelow, United States
Minister at Paris ; the Hon. Secretary Fox, United
States Navy ; Captain Beaumont and his brother-
officers of the Navy ; the Hon. John Jay, Presi-
dent of the Union League Club of New York ; the
Rev. Dr. J. P. Thompson, Professor Hitchcock,
and many others, several of whom addressed the
assemblage. _

The Chairman of the committee called the as-
sembly to order, and, after making a few happy
remarks, introduced the Hon. John Jay, whose
speech was received with great enthusiasm. We
are fortunately enabled to lay it before your
readers.

Elegant and stirring speeches were also made by
Rev. Dr. Hitchcock, the Rev. Dr. Thompson, Mr.
Monod, and George Cox, of Maryland, which were
all received with cordial and enthusiastic applause.
The brilliant illumination in many coloured
and treeslights,red
of this charming spot,
and the softb e beauty of the myriad fl
induced many of the younger
of both sexes to take advantage of the open-air

whole affair, which was certainly a complete success,
leaving nothing of regret to mingle with the recol-
lection of the festivities in which they were fortu-
nate enough to participate.
It is to be hoped that the fact that two of these
celebrations have now occurred so successfully in
Paris will encourage the Americans abroad to
organise the thing in permanent shape, not alone
for the sake of the pleasures of the day, but as
a happy means for kegping alive the international
good feeling. .

MARK-LANE.

The country markets held on Saturday were much less
active for wheat, and prices declined to the extent of Is.
to 2s. per quarter. For all descriptions of spring corn the
demand ruled inactive, at barely rate rates. In flour a
very moderate business was transacted, on rather easier
terms.

On the Continent the wheat trade is quieter, at drooping
prices. For spring corn the demand rules inactive, at
hardly late quotations. At New York the trade for wheat
and flour is far from active.

Small supplies of English grain, &c., were received up to
our market last week. The imports from abroad consisted
of 24,245 qrs. of wheat, 9,075 barley, 12 malt, 46,292 oats,
2,415 ryo, 6,731 peas, 5,914 linseed, 12,757 rapeseed, 17,370
maize, 395 sacks of seeds ; 258 sacks and 15 barrels of flour.
A very moderate business was transacted in all descrip-
tions of seed. As compared with Monday last no material
changes took place in prices.
There was a fair demand for cakes at last week's cur-
rency.
Fresh up to our market to-day the arrival of home-
grown wheat was very moderate, but the condition of the
produce was good. The trade for all descriptions was in
a most inactive state, millers showing no disposition to
make purchases either in red or white qualities. In prices
a further decline took place, and the quotations are now
4s per quarter beneath the late highest point.
The market was moderately supplied with foreign
wheat. The demand for all qualities was very inactive,
and a further decline of is to 2s per quarter took place in

prices.
Floating cargoes of grain are dull, and lower in value.
Spring corn ruled inactive, at barely late rates.
The supply of English barley on sale was small, of flour
moderate. The barley trade was dull, at barely rate rates.
Malt was in slow request, at late currencies.
With oats the market was moderately supplied. The
demand for all qualities ruled heavy, at drooping prices.
Beans were a short supply, and the trade was dull on
rather easier terms. •

Peas moved off slowly, and the quotations wore rather
lower.

Flour changed hands to a very moderate extent at droop
ing currencies.

PIGEON SHOOTING.

THE ARISTOCRATIC MEETING AT HENDON.

The last but one of tho handicaps of the year, rendered
so popular by the excellent arrangements of Frank Heath-
cote, Esq., took place on Saturday last at Mr. Warner's,
the Welsh Harp, near Hendon. There were no less than
97 entries, and in the shooting the gun on this occasion
was the winner, inasmuch as in the 106 birds shot at in the
great match 69 wore killed within bounds, and 37 only got
away. First class birds wore provided by Barber. There
was a largo muster of spectators, and the following is the
return :

Captain Fredericks (29), with nine others, retired, some
having only scored throe out of five, and others as low as
ono out of three. By the above score it will be seen that
Sir F. Johnstone and Mr. Monk killed all their birds, and
in shooting off as usual, bird for bird, Sir Frederick killed
five in succession, and so obtained the first prize of £7O.
Mr. Monk missed his fifth, so received the second prize of
£2O. Captains Boycott and Hill, and Messrs. Moore and
Thorp having killed five each, shot off for the third prize,
when Captain Boycott brought down his first two, and re-
ceived £10; Captain Hill missing one out of two, Messrs•
Moore and Thorp being out of it from the first.
Messrs. Lysley and Rudd contend in a match at three
birds each, 30 yards rise, when the former won by killing
all three.

• .
There was'n Sweepstakes of £1 each, and 17 gentlemen
contended, at three birds each. Captains Baskervillo and
Hill, Messrs. Laing, Noriss, Lysloy, Rudd, and Lord Parker
killed all their birds ; and it was rare sport, for in shooting
off, bird for bird, Captain Baskerville and Mr. Laing killed
six in succession, which, making their total nine, they
divided. Mr. Rudd was close up, as he only missed his
ninth bird.
There were many other matches, and a large amount of
bye shooting.

at No. 3, Queen-street, Queen's-road, Camberwell, and the
police receiving information the prisoners were manufac-
turers of counteifcit coin, matters were arranged to effect
their capture. The doors of the house were

On the promises wore found a number of plaister of Paris
moulds, ladles, pewter, electrotyping chemicals, and base
coin in various stages of manufacture. The prisoners were
wfterwards captured, but the male prisoner said the female
was his wife, and that she had acted entirely in the matter
under his direction. It was also proved that the woman
had been known as Mrs. Mallock for the last five years.
The jury acquitted the woman, but found the male pri-
soner Guilty.

soner was a most notorious coiner, and had been so for
years. Many attempts bad been made to effect his cap-
ture, but up to the present time he had managed to escape.
Tho prisoner was what might be called a wholesale
dealer in base coin, and had carried on the business
for a long time. His arrangements for the purpose were
very complete, and his mode of operation was very suc-

residence.
The Recorder told the prisoner ho doubtless had been
the cause of misery to many persons, and therefore ho
should sentence him to five years' penal servitude.

LONDON, MONDAY, JULY 9, 1866.

All is still uncertain respecting the state of things
in. Germany. It is said that the Prussians have
expressed their readiness to an armistice for the
present upon certain conditions, but these are hard
ones. No doubt the intervention of the French
EMPEROR was the cause of this tardy acquiescence,
for to have persisted in a refusal would have been a
decided affront to him. It is still possible that the
war may be renewed, but not likely, taking all
things into consideration. In Vienna it was offi-
cially stated that there was every prospect
of an armistice being concluded for six
weeks, and this statement is confirmed by
the intelligence that the army of the North is
continuing its retreat unmolested. The semi-
official Oesteirreische Zeitung explains the apparent
inconsistency of the present state of things by de-
claring that when Marshal BENEDEK sent General
von GABLENZ to the Prussian head-quarters it was
only to make a military and not a political arrange-
ment, and might be termed the proposal for a
" truce " and not an " armistice," but since that
time the affair has assumed a new aspect, France
having offered to the belligerent Powers her
mediation, in order that an armistice may
be considered which could lead to a peace.
From the French papers we hear that
the King of PRUSSIA has accepted the "proffered
mediation" of France, but that he reserves to him-
self the conditions' respecting the proposed armis-
tice, the particulars of which the Prussian represen-
tative at Paris will declare. The chief points of
importance in this arrangement are that the pro-
visioning of the Prussian army be facilitated, and
that they should occupy the lines of railway in
Bohemia. The King of ITALY'S consent will be
necessary to the fulfilment of this practical affair,
and that does not seem likely to be easily obtained,
to judge from appe
ileee. Perhaps the secret
lies in the fact that the Italians have not come out
of the affair very brilliantly, after all their boastful
anticipations of success so unguardedly indulged in.
It would appear as if the Italian Volunteers were
anxious to make the most of the opportunities that
yet remain to them, and accordingly they arc con-
stantly attacking the enemy, but with no success.
Five thousand of them attacked the Austrian posi-
tion on Monte Suello, but they were repulsed with
the loss of 500 killed and wounded. Another en_
o.lo.emen t lasted for five hours, and ended in the
b`
same result, the Italians being driven back over
the Tuscardine Pass. It certainly confirms the
idea of the supremacy of the needle-gun, that the
Austrians have had the advantage in all their en-
counters with the Italians.

This is indeed the great invention of the day,
and it seems extraordinary that the Austrians, who
witnessed its efficacy when they were acting in con-
cert with the Prussians in the Danish war, did not
profit by such experience, and either look to their
preparations, or abstain from encountering such
dangerous adversaries, We have witnessed the eAme
