MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

CURIOUS CHARGE OP ASSAULT ON A SPANIARD.--John
Walters, printer, and. Emily Lpnsdalo, au unfortunate,
residing at No. 7, Macclesfield-street, Suho, were charged
before Mr. Knox with assaulting a Spanish gentleman
named Jose Martin Gilliaen, residing at the Spanish Hotel,
Golden-square.

Mr. Edward Dillon Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street
appeared for the prisoners.

The prosecutor, through an interpreter, said—Yester-
day, after being out for a walk, I was in Macclesfield-street,
when the male prisoner spoke to me and pretended to
know me, and abused me, and I then pushed him back,
when he assaulted me.

Mr. Knox—Ho says nothing about the woman. Who
gave her in charge ?

Mr. Lewis—l can perhaps explain that. lam instructed
that she told the police that she assaulted the prosecutor
and not the male prisoner, and that she was also taken
into custody.

The Prosecutor—The woman never assaulted me.

Mr. Knox—Then if there is no charge agairist the
woman she is discharged. ..

Langham, 108 C.—A little after one this morning I
was on duty in King-street, Soho, when I met the pro-
secutor with his wrist cut open and bleeding. He led me
to No. 7, Macclesfield-street, and made motions that he
had been assaulted, then I knocked at the door and was
answered by a female. I asked if the gentleman had been
in the house, and she said he had. I was admitted and
went upstairs, and Lonsdale said that it was her who had
struck the prosecutor, but that he had struck her first.
Mr. Knox—ls it a house known to the police ?
Constable—lt is, sir.
Mr. Knox—Were there any other marks of violence on
the prosecutor besides the cut on the wrist ?
Constable— No, -sir. The female said she did it with a
china ornament because the prosecutor struck her.

Mr. Knox ordered the female (Lonsdale) to .be called on
as a witness, and she said, while at the Cafe Riche last
night with the prosecutor and others, she saw the prosecutor
strike a gentleman on the head and knock him down.
We afterwards went to a public-house in Long-acre, where
we had three bottles of wine, and the prosecutor had be-
sides three drops of brandy. After being there the prose-
cutor, who was very excited, struck a cab-horse with his
stick, and when at the house in Macclesfield-street the
prosecutor made such a noise by jumping about the
room over the prisoner's head that the prisoner was
obVged to come up and tell him to keep quiet. The pro-
secutor then threw the prisoner out'of the room, and struck
and kicked him. The prosecutor afterwards struck and
kicked her, and she took the ornament off the chimney-
piece and struck him in the arm with it.
Mr. Lewis—l am prepared to show that Walters has been
ill for some time, and not in a condition to assault the pro-
secutor.

Mr. Knot— After what I have heard, I shall discharge
Walters.

AUSTRIAN REPLY.

" His Majesty the Emperor of Austria is ready
to consent to the proposal for a provisional suspen-
sion of hostilities during three days in order to leave
His Majesty the King of Prussia time to ascertain
the intention of his ally King Victor Emmanuel
relative to the conclusion of the armistice proposed
by France.
" The Austrian Government, however, finds that
the conditions of this suspension of arms as con-
tained in the note brought by M. Lefebre de Behaine
could not be accepted without evident disadvantage
to the Austrian army, while the Prussian army could
avail itself of them to improve its position. For
instance, Art. 3 of the above proposals merely stipu-
lates, in general terms, that the Prussian troops will
remain at three miles distance from Olmutz, which
would in no way exclude the possibility of sur-
rounding the position of Olmutz upon all sides at
that distance during the three days' suspension of
arms. Again, the truce in question not being
extended to the Italian army, which can

continue its advance during that period, it is
altogether impossible that Austria can accept for
her Southern army an engagement which would
condemn it to absolute immobility, and would
thus expose it to a marked disadvantage.
In consequence of the above the Austrian Go-
vernment proposes as the basis of the suspension of
hostilities to draw between the Austro-Saxon army
upon the one part and the Prussian army upon the
other a line of demarkation which should not be
passed by either side during these three days, but
behind wnich either of the armies should have com-
plete liberty of movement. The Austrian Govern-
, ment proposes as the line of demarkation the river
Thaya from its source to a point two miles to the
west of Lundenburg. Thence the line would run
parallel with the railway from Lundenburg to
Olmutz, being kept at a distance of two miles west
of that railroad, and would ascend to the posi-
tions at present occupied by the Prussian army,
remaining at a distance of two miles to the west
and north of the most advanced external works of
the position of Olmutz.

" If the Prussian Government accepts this coun-
ter proposition in place of Arts. 1,2, and 3 of the
Note brought by M. Lefebvre de Behaine, the Aus-
trian Government would immediately come to an
agreement with the King of Saxony in order that
the provision trains for the Prussian army may
travel unhindered along the railway from Dresden

to Prague.
"In case his Majesty the King should consent to
the suspension of hostilities upon the above indicated
bases, his Majesty the Emperor of Austria would
propose to send at once to Raigern commissioners
empowered by both parties to sign this truce.
"His Majesty the Emperor of Austria would
attach great value to this suspension of hostilities
being extended also to the Bavarian troops as well

as to those under the command of Prince Alexander

of Hesse.

MISCELLANEOUS NEWS.

The Executive Committee of the National Union
Club have issued a call for a National Convention,
to be held at Philadelphia on the 14th August next.
The club is organised and supported by the friends
and admirers of President Johnson, and will work
with the object of securing his re-election. The
Southern journals warmly approve of the meeting
fixed for August, and promise delegates from all
the Southern States.
A Paris paper gives an account of a vessel which
two sailors are to navigate from New York to the
port of Grenelle, Paris, for the Exhibition. Her
dimensions are 24 feet long by 5 feet 6 inches wide.
According to the American journals her tonnage is
that of a gigantic soup tureen, or like a pot which
may sometimes be seen in a large hotel. She has
three masts, and will draw from 18 to 20 inches of
water. She has already made a trial trip with suc-
cess ; and it is generally believed she will cross in
safety, but her fate will be doubtful if she meets with
a heavy gale. She is called " The Red, White, and
Blue."

LONDON, MONDAY, JULY 23, 1866.

The banquet at which the members of the Cob-
den Club assembled on Saturday evening was
a brilliant festivity. The guests included some
of our most distinguished statesmen and some of
our most prominent politicians ; it was presided over
by the eloquence of Mr. GLADSTONE, and addressed
by the wisdom and experience of Earl RUSSELL. By
an unfortunate chance neither Mr. BRIGHT nor
Mr. MILNER GIBSON were present, but Mr.
VILLIERS, one of the earliest labourers in the
field in which Mr. COBDEN won his laurels,
was among the company, and many others, some of
whom had been friends and coadjutors of RICHARD
COBDEN; others who were late but valuable con-
verts to his doctrines were gathered together to do
honour to the memory of him who has been appro-
priately called " the Apostle of Free Trade." The
honourable but responsible task of proposing the
toast of the evening could not possibly have been
deputed to worthier hands. Mr. GLADSTON'S com-
manding eloquence was perhaps never heard to
greater advantage than in paying his tribute to the
memory of that far-sighted and clear-judging poli-
tician,n so many of whose once-despised theories have
become political aphorisms. Mr. GLADSTONE, too,
had an especial right to the office of president on
this occasion, since his name is intimately associated
with Mr. ConnEws latest, but not least, laborious
undertaking—the Treaty of Commerce with France.
Speaking of Mr. CoBDE ,
S efforts to remove the
restrictions which encumber the commercial inter-
course of nations, Mr. GLADSTONE said that he
believed Mr. COBDEN was one of the very first to'
enunciate the truth that commerce has a moral as
well as a material aspect. He was one of the first
to perceive that the wholesale interchange of pro-
ducts and manufactures between different nations
was something more than a mere matter of trade
and barter. In the words of Mr. GLADSTONE,
" Lie showed that trade was not only a law of
wealth and prosperity, but a law of friendship, a
aw of kindness among all nations, that every single
transaction, of which thousands are at this moment
going on between this country and any other
country, such as France, was a transaction form-
ing,
as it were, one single thread in a web
of concord woven between people and people." This
idea is familiar to the men of this generation, but
it is one of very modern growth and development.
The old theory is more accurately expressed in an

BOROUGH HOP.

Good and fine hops have been in improved request, at
full prices, but inferior produce has met a slow sale, at
barely late rates. The accounts from the plantations are,
on the whole, favourable, and in most districts there is
every indication of a lair average yield. The import into
London last week consisted of 8 bales from Antwerp, 4
from Hamburg, 15 from Rotterdam, and 40 bales from
Boulogne.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

The supply of foreign stock on sale here to-day was ex-
tensive, and in fair average condition. The demand ruled
steady, and prices were well supported. From our own
grazing districts, as well as from Ireland and Scotland, the
arrivals of beasts fresh up this morning were only mode-
rate, both as to number and quality. Prime breeds moved
off freely at prices fully equal to Monday last. Otherwise,
the trade was very inactive at late rates. The best Scots
and crosses sold at ss. 6d. to ss. Bd. per 81b. The supply
from Lincolnshire and Northamptonshire was about 1,000
shorthorns ; from Norfolk 200 Scots and crosses ; from
other parts of England, 200 various breeds ; from Scot-
land 48 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland 50 oxen, cows,
and heifers. Towards the close of business some very
superior beasts realized ss. 10d. and 6s. per 81b.
There was a fair average supply of sheep in the pens,
but the quality of each breed was only middling. Downs
half-breeds, &c., moved off freely at very full prices:
Otherwise, the mutton trade was in a sluggish state, on
former terms. Lambs were in moderate supply, and in fair
request at full prices—viz., from 6s. Bd. to Bs. per 81b.
Calves commanded more attention on rather higher
terms. . Top price ss. 4d. per 81b.
The demand fur pigs was heavy at late rates.

Throwing Stones.

Lord Russell has so few undamaged panes left in
the glass house of his political shrine that he would
be but wise if he rigidly observed the old proverb.
But he cannot abstain from having a mischievous
fling at the reputation of his successor, and he
throws not only a stone, but a very dirty one, at
Lord Stanley's fair fame.
At the dinner of the Cobden Club at Richmond
on Saturday, Lord Russell, in speaking of the
negotiations for an armistice, more especially with
reference to the recently proposed cession of Venetia
to France, said—
" I regret that, however commendable on the part of the
Emperor that offer might be, that an English Secretary
of Foreign Affairs should have gone shares in that pro-
position."

We have reason to know that the spiteful insi-
nuation of the late Premier is entirely unfounded.
Lord Stanley did not " go shares" in the Emperor's
propositions, and the course of English policy has
been entirely such as the Foreign Secretary de-
scribed in his recent speech—carefully and guardedly
neutral.

When the Emperor of the French first endea-
voured to stop the effusion of blood and to bring
about an armistice he asked for our support, and
the English Government, in the interest of
humanity, professed its willingness to support an
appeal from arms to reason, and to press upon the
belligerents the desirableness of an armistice. But at
the satne time it refused to join in mediation with-
out first thoroughly appreciating the basis of in-
terference, and in no degree, by word or implica-
tion, engaged its responsibility in any single one
of the several pending questions.
It should have been quite beneath Lord Russell
to cast obstacles in Lord Stanley's path, and to en-
deavour to pervert the sense of his first and careful
steps. He would do better to remember the gene-
rosity and forbearance with which he has himself
been treated, and not to attempt, by transparent
misrepresentation, to throw obloquy upon a man
whose intentions are good and whose actions have
hitherto been such as the country approves.—Post.

SPORTING NOTES.

The racing meetings of last week were but a re-
petition of the in-and-out running of certain horses,
which has been the chief feature of interest at these
small meetings for the last three weeks. To get
money out of horses now seems to be the order of
the day. Poor Gladiateur seems to have caught
another cold, as I said three or four weeks ago he
would, on the eve of fulfilling his second Goodwood
Cup engagement. Frcm 6t04 on him at one time,
3 to 1 is now currently offered that he does not face
the judge. However, whether Gladiateur runs or
not, I consider that he will be defeated on his
merits, by whichever Baron Rothschild trusts, viz.,
Tourmalin or Janitor. There is no horse in Eng-
land that will give Janitor 101 b and a beating. If
the Derby had been a quarter of a mile farther
Janitor would have walked in by himself. The
next best in my opinion is The Duke. The
races of this week will only be a repetition of the
" milking" that has taken place for the last three or
four weeks, and those who wish to invest had better
let them alone until the Goodwood meeting, when
I have no doubt I will be able to clear up the
mystery which at present overhangs the intentions
of trainers and owners with regard to the several
important events to be decided at the D ucal Meeting.

THE ARMISTICE NEGOTIATIONS.
BERLIN, July 20.

The full text of the official documents (sum-
mary telegraphed) referring to the three days'
armistice between the belligerents, proposed by the
Emperor Napoleon, has just been published here.
Although these first negotiations failed, it may not
be uninteresting to chronicle their precise tenour :
Prussian proposal delivered upon the evening of the
12th July to the Austrian army by the Secretary

of the French Legation :
" Although unable to conclude the armistice
proposed by France with the consent of Italy,
but, nevertheless, desirous of affording the Empe-
ror Napoleon a proof of his good-will, the King
is ready, in order to have time to ascertain the
intentions of the Italian Government, to order
his troops, upon condition of reciprocity, to ab-
stain from all acts of hostility against the Austro-
Saxon army for three days upon the following
terms :

" 1. The ground between the present position of
the Prussian army and the Thaya shall be imme-
diately evacuated by the Austrian troops.
" 2. In addition to the case provided for by Art.
1, all the Prussian troops, all the Austrian troops of
the Northern and Southern armies, and the Saxon
troops, as well as their artillery and ammunition
trains, shall halt at the spot where they may be upon
the day the present arrangement is signed, and shall
abstain from all movement.

" 3. Until the expiration of the covenanted de-
lay the Prussian troops will remain at three miles'
distance from Olmutz.

" 4. The railway between Dresden and Prague
shall be open for the transport of provisions to the
Prussian army."

merits, by whichever Baron Rothschild trusts, viz.,
Tourmalin or Janitor. There is no horse in Eng,
land that will give Janitor 101 b and a beating. If
the Derby had been a quarter of a mile farther
Janitor would have walked in by himself. The
next best in my opinion is The Duke. The
races of this week will only be a repetition of the
" milking" that has taken place for the last three or
four weeks, and those who wish to invest had better
let them alone until the Goodwood meeting, when
I have no doubt I will be able to clear up the
mystery which at present overhangs the intentions
of trainers and owners with regard to the several
important events to be decided at the Ducal Meeting.

SHOOTING PROSPECTS.—On the extensive moors of Perth-
shire the prospects of sportsmen for the season are highly
encouraging. The disease which prevailed during the
protracted dry weather has now entirely disappeared, and
grouse are abundant, the young birds being strong on the
wing. The broods, though not so numerous on some moors
as last year, generally number from seven to nine birds.
Partridges, both on the hillsides and on the low grounds,
are unusually plentiful, the coveys containing onan average
about ten birds. In the preserves pheasants are numerous
and well bred. Hares, wild ducks, roe-deer, and in fact
all kinds of game, are rife and promise excellent sport.

(REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.)

THE ARMISTICE NEGOTIATIONS.
BERLIN, July 20.

The full text of the official documents (sum-
mary telegraphed) referring to the three days'
armistice between the belligerents, proposed by the
Emperor Napoleon, has just been published here.
Although these first negotiations failed, it may not
be uninteresting to chronicle their precise tenour
Prussian proposal delivered upon the evening of the
12th July to the Austrian army by the Secretary

of the French Legation :

44 Although unable to conclude the armistice
proposed by France with the consent of Italy,
but, nevertheless, desirous of affording the Empe-
ror Napoleon a proof of his good-will, the King
is ready, in order to have time to ascertain the
intentions of the Italian Government, to order
his troops, upon condition of reciprocity, to ab-
stain from all acts of hostility against the Austro-
Saxon army for three days upon the following
terms :

" 1. The ground between the present position of
the Prussian army and the Thaya shall be imme-
diately evacuated by the Austrian troops.
" 2. In addition to the case provided for by Art.
1, all the Prussian troops, all the Austrian troops of
the Northern and Southern armies, and the Saxon
troops, as well as their artillery and ammunition
trains, shall halt at the spot where they may be upon
the day the present arrangement is signed, and shall
abstain from all movement.

" 3. Until the expiration of the covenanted de-
lay the Prussian troops will remain at three miles'
distance from Olmutz.

" 4. The railway between Dresden and Prague
shall be open for the transport of provisions to the
Prussian army."

GOODWOOD CUP.

The French horse Gladiateur, who caused such a distur-
bance for this race last year, having been scratched shortly
before the race was struck out of this year's Goodwood Cup
on Saturday night to the intense disgust of the " milkers,"
who are not yet quite satisfied with their dishonest gains,
as the race, not being decided till Thursday week,
they expected that they would have had another week at
least to extort more money out of the pockets of the public.

A match was played at Whitley, near Reading, on Wed-

Upton and Reading Cricket Clubs. The match was brought
to an abrupt termination a few minutes before the ap-
pointed time for drawing the stumps, through some mis-
understanding on the part of the Reading batsmen; leaving
the Reading with one wicket to go down and 64 runs to
obtain to win. The bowling of Messrs. Flanagan and
Green, on the part of Slough, was very good indeed.

AUSTRIAN REPLY.

" His Majesty the Emperor of Austria is ready
to consent to the proposal for a provisional suspen-
sion of hostilities during three days in order to leave
His Majesty the King of Prussia time to ascertain
the intention of his ally King Victor Emmanuel
relative to the conclusion of the armistice proposed
by France.
" The Austrian Government, however, finds that
the conditions of this suspension of arms as con-
tained in the note brought by M. Lefebre de Behaine
could not be accepted without evident disadvantage
to the Austrian army, while the Prussian army could
avail itself of them to improve its position. For
instance, Art. 3 of the above proposals merely stipu-
lates, in general terms, that the Prussian troops will
remain at three miles distance from Olmutz, which
would in no way exclude the possibility of sur-
rounding the position of Olmutz upon all sides at
that distance during the three days' suspension of
arms. Again, the truce in question not being
extended to the Italian army, which can
continue its advance during that period, it is
altogether impossible that Austria can accept for
her Southern army an engagement which would
condemn it to absolute immobility, and would
thus expose it to a marked disadvantage.

In consequence of the above the Austrian Go-
vernment proposes as the basis of the suspension of
hostilities to draw between the Austro-Saxon army
upon the one part and the Prussian army upon the
other a line of demarkation which should not be
passed by either side during these three days, but
behind wnich either of the armies should have com-
plete liberty of movement. The Austrian Govern-
ment proposes as the line of demarkation the river
Thaya from its source to a point two miles to the
west of Lundenburg. Thence the line would run
parallel with the railway from Lundenburg to
Olmutz, being kept at a distance of two miles west
of that railroad, and would ascend to the posi-
tions at present occupied by the Prussian army,
remaining at a distance of two miles to the west
and north of the most advanced external works of
the position of Olmutz.
" If the Prussian Government accepts this coun-
ter proposition in place of Arts. 1,2, and 3 of the
Note brought by M. Lefebvre de Behaine, the Aus-
trian Government would immediately come to an
agreement with the King of Saxony in order that
the provision trains for the Prussian army may
travel unhindered along the railway.from Dresden
to Prague.
" In case his Majesty the King should consent to
the suspension of hostilities upon the above indicated
bases, his Majesty the Emperor of Austria would
propose to send at once to Raigern commissioners
empowered by both parties to sign this truce.
" His Majesty the Emperor of Austria would
attach great value to this suspension of hostilities
being extended also to the Bavarian troops as well
as to those under the command of Prince Alexander
of Hesse.

Throwing Stones.

Lord Russell has so few undamaged panes left in
the glass house of his political shrine that he would
be but wise if he rigidly observed the old proverb.
But he cannot abstain from having a mischievous
fling at the reputation of his successor, and he
throws not only a stone, but a very dirty one, at
Lord Stanley's fair fame.
At the dinner of the Cobden Club at Richmond
on Saturday, Lord Russell, in speaking of the
negotiations for an armistice, more especially with
reference to the recently proposed cession of Venetia

to France, said—
" I regret that, however commendable cm the part of the
Emperor that offer might be, that an English Secretary
of Foreign Affairs should have gone shares in that pro-
position."

We have reason to know that the spiteful insi-
nuation of the late Premier is entirely unfounded.
Lord Stanley did not " go shares" in the Emperor's
propositions, and the course of English policy has
been entirely such as the Foreign Secretary de-
scribed in his recent speech—carefully and guardedly
neutral.

When the Emperor of the French first endea.-
voured to stop the effusion of blood and to bring
about an armistice he asked for our support, and
the English Government, in the interest of
humanity, professed its willingness to support an
appeal from arms to reason, and to press upon the
belligerents the desirableness of an armistice. But at
the same time it refused to join in mediation with-
out first thoroughly appreciating the basis of in-
terference, and in no degree, by word or implica-
tion, engaged its responsibility in any single one
of the several pending questions.
It should have been quite beneath Lord Russell
to cast obstacles in Lord Stanley's path, and to en-
deavour to pervert the sense of his first and careful
steps. He would do better to remember the gene-
rosity and forbearance with which he has himself
been treated, and not to attempt, by transparent
misrepresentation, to throw obloquy upon a man
whose intentions are good and whose actions have
hitherto been such as the country approves.—Post.

is the "sweetest" thing in the world; in fact, a perfect
honeycomb—full of sells. Bee ware.
