Badger has detailed a special detective to
assist the police of the right bank in their
investigations, and we are told that j. P.
Hornor, ESQ, will attend on the part of the
slaughterhouse company at the examina-
ton, which will take place this morning.
The perils which will attend any future
attempt to fire the slaughterhOuse may
fairly lead to the inference that the last
attempt has been made, and that the appre-
tensions of the stockholders on this score
NAV cease.

LONDON, August l6.-The statement OF
the total destruction of the steamer Penn
sylvania is erroneous. The cargo was de-
stroyed, but the vessel will be able to 90 to
sea on the twentieth instant.
Prussain dispatches to the Prussian minis
ter are full of triumph, and express the
greatest confidence in the result of the war.
Extracts from the French official bulle-
tins, state the Prussians are not in force
before Strasburg, and that Bitsche still
holds out. .....---
The bridges at Tergeshiem and Basle have
been destroyed by the enemy.
English experiments with the mitraillieuse
indicate them destructive at close quarters,
but troops handling them may be annihila-
ted before they come in range.
The Times sympathies are strongly with
Prussia, and rejoices in Prussian sue
cesses. -.--..
1t is reported the Bavarians have cap
tured Marsal with sixty cannon.
British naval surgeons are forbidden to
volunteer for the relief OF the Prussian
wounded.
