Court Of Quarter Ssssions-Jtdge PGrsoR.
The prison cases tried in this court to-day
were OF the most trivial character.
Charles Angling was convicted OF cruelty TO
horse by striking him upon the head with the
butt end of heavy whip. He was working the
animal in a cart and had stopped him, so that
the blows were not intended TO make him pull;
in fact he held him by the bride so that he
could not move.
Sarah Ward, girl of twelve or fourteen
years, was convicted of the larceny OF watch.
She was employed as servant in Dr. StOtzel's
family at Bristol, and being one day sent out
upon an errand, was allowed TO take the watch
to time herself; but instead OF performing her
duty and returning TO her masters house, she
took boat and came TO the city. An officer
searched for her and found her in 4 house in
ST. Mary street concealed in chest. She
owned up, and took the officer TO pawn Office,
where she had pledged the watch, and he re-
covered il.
William johnson (colOred) was convict of
stealing wool from house on Front street.
Jacob Van Hart was tried for the larceny of
seven chisels from a file shop in which he was
employed, but at the close OF our report the
jury had not agreed upon verdict.
Thomas Holmes was convicted OF the larceny
as bailee of a quantity of shoe leather, which
was given into his possession and when he APP
propriated TO bis own use. His only excuse was
drunkenness.
Peter Grifin was acquitted of the larceny of a
shirt.

Napoleon on the situation.

LONDON, Aug. S.-Forbach is among tho
strategic points gained by the Prussiane in
Saturdays battles and now held by
their forces. Napoleon telegaphs to Paris
that the soldiers are full of courage, cool
ness, and confidence, but that the trial ie
severe one, and will require q great sacrifice
and efforts of patriotism to meet it.
English Opinion OF the French Posirlen.
LONDON, Aug S.-The Times of this morn
ing says-''The French are in a critical posi-
ton. 1t is a nomentous question whether
the Emperors health leaves him in possess
sion of his ordinary faculties. The war 10
marked by his usual hesitation, which is
attributable to random and purposeless
strategy and puzzing inaction which have
probably brought calamity to the national
army. The Emperor is now bound to
accept battle instantly, yet he has on hand
the task of concentrating his forces
and restoring esprit, to his defeated army,
and this while his enemy is concentrating in
the heart of Lorraine. Circumstances will
soon exact the temperance OF England 10
the character of mediator.

am compelled 70 draw the sword in conse-
quence OF a wanton attack which must be
warded off with all the strength at the COM
mand OF Germany. 1t is a great consolation to
me, before God and man, that have not in
any way given occasion for the onslaught. My
conscience is clear as to the origin of this war,
and l am confident before God of the justice
of our cause. The conflict is earn
est, and it will entail heavy sacrifices
ON my people, and on Germany at
large. But depart for war, looking up TO an
all-knowing God, and appealing to His all
powerful help. Already l have occasion to
thank God that, at the first whisper of war, all
German hearts were animated by one feelings
feeling of indignation at the attack, and of glad
rustiulness that God would grant victory to the
rightful cause. My people in this conflict will
stand by me as it stood by my father, who
now rests in God. With me they will make any
sacrifice to restore peace TO the nations. From
my youth j have learnt to confide in the ON
impotence of Gods gracious help. In Him
hope, ana call on my people TO have the like
confidence in Him. l bow before God in ac-
knowledgment of His mercy, and j am con-
yinced that my subjects and my countrymen
will do likewise. For this reason appoint that
Wednesday, the 21th of July, be kept as an ex-
traordinary general day of prayer, when
Divine service shall be celebrated 10
