LONDON, Aug. 81. The possibility OF war on
the continent is discussed by leading European
journals. The opinion is generally expressed that
Prussia, though ready for war really desires the
.ontil uance of peace, but that to Austria and
Russia peace is pensabe, and that the French
emperor is now undoubtedly prepared for con.
fiici but his policy is uncertain. The Liberal OF
Toulouse, says that Marshal Neil, who Is on q
visit TO that city, told the council general that the
army was animated by the best spirit, arms-
ment complete, arsepals full financial resources
acknowledgements with other European
powers, France alone was equally ready for peace
or war.
Some think that the necessity of diyerting the
discomfort of certain classes in France may cause
the emperor to adopt varlike policy. They say
the election by so large a majority OF the liberal
candidate, NJ. Greyy, in the department of Jurs,
ard manifestations of general dissffection on the
part Of students at the medical schools and uni.
yersities in Paris, the great success Of the Ian
terne and the deep and widespread indignation
az its suppression, are signs Of public temper
sufficient In themselves 10 alarm the emperor.
Add to these the circumstances which follow the
expense Of keeping an abnormal armament on
foot, and the encouragement to war offered by
the success of the last loan, and there is reason
hese people say, to expect war in the autumn OF
spring. Corroboration of these views is sought
in recent leading editorials in the Constitutions

LONDON, Aug. 3l.-Accounts of recen. events
on the Rio Psrans have been received from Para
gUsyan sources. The Paragusyans claim that the
allies received q severe check in two battles on
the l6th and 18th Of july and that the Fortress OF
Humiata was evacuated without the knowledge OF
he enemy. All the heavy guns we're spiked, and
am 9, ammunition and stores removed. The gov.
elnmeDts of Chill and Bolivia have offered their
good Offices TO opez as medistors.
The Patrie, of Paris has adgices from Paraguay
which explain that Humiata was abandoned be-
cause Gen. Lopez had completed his new defen
sive line Of forthcstions on the Febicusri. The
Paragusyans are confident that the allies, though
holding The river, would not attempt to enter the
interior of the country and they believed the war
w ulo soon be brought to an end by the lsssitude
of the combined powers.

The Thinning Of City Railroads ON Broadway
Tho Old Dry Dock Railroad Case.

The Thinning Of City Railroads on Broadway
Tho Old Dry Dock Railroad Case.
Before Judge Sutherland.
The People, Gc., cs. The Dry Dock, East Broad
.cay ana Battery Railroad Companv.--lt win be
remembered that In the fall OF 1860, IN the interval
from Saturday night to Sunday evening, the defend
ants extended their railway track from its present
southern terminus at Ann street ana Broadway, in
front OF the HERALD Building dagonaly across and
down Broadway to Fulton street, west with view
OF making through connection to the Battery. An
injunction was granted IN this suit by Judge Suther
land, temporarily cnjolning the Defendants from
running their cars over the newly laid track, and
requiring them to take IN the rails, and yeater-
day the case came up on tfial, the plaintiffs de-
manding Indictment tl,at me railway company %
cars over the route referred TO.
For the plaintiff 1t was claimed that the act was
wholly beyond the right guaranteed to the DEFEND
ants by their charter which permitted them to lay
rails and and operate their railroad "to Broad
way" The question OF public Inconvenience, also,
which Is the most important consideration TO the
people, was also discussed ut some length.
The defence argued that the right granted to the
company to lay their rails 10 Broadway meant the
right 10 lay rails and run rs fur as the centre OF the
roadway OF that thoroughfare, and that, power being
also by their charter extended 10 them to construct
and run their line through Fulton and other streets
west OF Broadway TO Tie Battery they have also inc
right operate their road to the centre OF broadway
FROM Fulton street, west, thus making their oonnec-
ton IN the middle Of the street. Otherwise the COM
pany was prevented from enjoying the franchises
conferred upon them In their charter.
The plaintiff further contended that even II the
charter provided that the defendants might run their
road "across' Broadway, the running Of the track
from the HERALD Building 10 Fulton street would be
an excess Of that privilege, as IL would Involve the
running OF cars not only across" Broadway, but
s'dOwn'' and upon that thor0uRhlafe by reason OF
It's obllque direction. i0r distance OF los feet.
The Court reserved its decision.
