BODY FoUND.-Police officers Wyman and
Fields being down at CushinG's Island Monday
evening heard that dead body had foated
ashore on Ram Island. They took boat went
overjto the island, found the body and secured
it. Coroner Hall went down with the officers
yesterday and viewed it. 1t is supposed to be
the body of Mr.. Holmes, who was drowned by
the disaster that occurred in our harbor on the
9th of June, when Mr.. Rogers and Mr. Ang-
lin were also drowned, 1t was in an advanced
stage of decomposition, the face being entirely
gone. The coat, vest and portion of the shirt
had been torn from his body by it's washing
among the seaweed and striking against the
rocks. These portions of clothing were found
among the seaweed, and there was stud in
one portion of the shirt which may lead to the
Identification of the body. The remains were
brought up to the city and placed in charge of
Messis. 8. S. Rich & Son, undertakers, and
Coroner Hall telegraphed the facts to the
friends of Holmes in Boston.

A fhUSSIAN VICTOhY On MONDAY AT METZ.
BERLIN, Aug. 16.-Late on Monday P. M.
the first and seventh Prussiau !army corps
attacked the French forces under the walls of
Metz and sanguinary conflict ensued. The
French were at length driven within the city
with a loss of 1000 men.
DECENTRALIZATION AT METZ.
On the same day reconnaissance under
King William in person, maintained itself
some hours within two lines of the French de-
fences, without any effort on part of the
French to dislodge them. This fac: shows the
utter Generalization of the French.
TERRITORIAL ACKNOWLEDGMENT DECLINED.
LONDON, Aug. 16.-A document ascribed TO
Bismark is in circulation in Prussia, declining
territorial ACKNOWLEDGMENT as q result Of the
war.
The Bavarans have not yet been supplied
with needle guns, but still use old percussion
lock muzzle leaders.
The French deny the capture of Bitche.
1t is feared that McMahon's corps at and
around Strasbourg is entirely cut off from the
main body of the army
FRENCH ITEMS
The following items are extracted from
French official bulletins: The Prussians are
not in any great force before Strasbourg. The
town of Bitche still hold out against the enc
my. The railway bridge at Tergenpin on the
line between Strasbourg and Basic has been
destroyed by the enemy.
The Times.in its money article says that a
French victory is nece ssary to predispose the
Emperor to treat for peace. The stories of the
arrival of the Empress and Prince Imperial on
English soil are repeated to-day. They are I'M
true. 1t is certain the Prince is now in Paris.

that the French Chambers are unworthy Of

was in the coffee The symptoms were
all those of poison by strychnine, and
bore striking resemblance tothe Guest
Pickens poison ease which occurred in
this city number Of years ago. The
family physician, who was called in,
analysed what remained of the coffee
and Grounds, but could find no evil
dence of strychnine or other poisonous
substance, and the matter is involved in
mystery. Some have thought it likely
that the cook dropped tobacco out OF
her pipe into the coffee pot, but this was
not a tobacco sickness. Others suggest
copper vessels, ETC., but whatever may
have been the cause, no one attaches
any criminal conduct to the servants.
The relations between the white family
and their black servants have been, and
