He, fortunately, succeeded in obtaining order,
and then feizing the opportunity, announced
that Daniel Dougherty, Esq, was prepared to
address the audience, and he hoped hearing
would be awarded him.
Mr. Dougherty then stood upon a chair and
was received with loud applause. He said that
he had often heard of the play of Hamlet with
Hamlet" omitted. He felt like he supposed
Hamlet" would feel If they desired to hear him.
If they desired the play to be properly repre-
sented they would have to be quiet and hear
him, as he was the Hamlet" of the time.
He then complimented the New York 7th and
pleasantly informed the members of that Organi-
zation that at one time he felt they had grossly
iDsulted him. of course unintentionally. At the
time before the war; 1853 when the 7th Regi-
ment had left New York to go to Richmond,
Va, to escort the remains of President Monroe,
and it was arranged that they should have a
brilliant reception and banquet at the National
Guards Hall in this city, he was selected to
make the speech to them on the occasion.
Everything had been prepared for a grand
time, and he had been pluming himself all day
on getting off an eloquent address when the dis
astrous news was communicated to him that the
9TH had gone home by way of Washington street
wharf, and had relinquished the idea OF accept
ing the banquet that was to be given them
He was, therefore, cheated out of his speech
He never had such an opportunity before and
he never expected to have another again, be-
cause, in candor, he confessed that the present
opportunity did not amount to much. But the
people of Philadelphia were rejoiced to see
them. They considered them noble types of
American citizenship. He then proceeded TO
draw parallel between New York and Phlla-
delphia, and trusted that all jealousies between
the cities would forever be banished.
General Joshua 7. Owen then spoke. He al
luded to the services of the 7th Regiment during
the war in protecting the interior, and the only
offset to their valuable services that he could
think of would be when possibly war took
place on the Atlantic front, when Philadelphia
regiments might have an opportunity of doing
for New York what the 7th Regiment had done
for Philadelphia and Pennsylvania. He was
very complimentary to the character and mill
tary efficiency of the 7th, and stated that
the visit to this city had aroused a military
ardor and spirit which would be productive of
great good.
Other short speeches were then made, when
the drum sounded and the regiment fell
into line, and proceeded to Market street wharf
and embarked for Cape May.

THE EUROPEAN wAR-PRUssIA AND THE UNITED
STATES.
WASHINGTON, July 14.-Baron Gerolt the
Prussian Minister, received dispatches from his
Government directing him to ask this Govern
ment whether in case of European war, Prus-
sian vessels having in part American owners
could be placed under the American flag The
members of both houses of Congress best
posted on foreign matters agree that this will
be allowed 1t will be a mode of placing the
whole Prussan commerce under the registry
of the United States and if long war ensues
and proper legislation is enacted in this coun-
try, it will probably result in large proportion
remaining permanently under the flag of the
United States. The effect on Prussian and Ger
man commerce in the event of war with France
weuld be to obliterate IL by the blockading of
Prussas two or three ports, and a thorough
securing of the seas by the immense navy of
France. The best-informed public men on
European politics freely express the opinion
that war in Europe is inevitable, and a member
of the Cabinet remarked to your correspondent
to-day that the administration was of the same
ODiniOn.

OBITUARY..
PHILIP REITzEL FoRNEY.

To very large circle in Pennsylvania, and
indeed throughout the whole country, the news
of the death of Philip Retzel Forney, eldest son
of Colonel John w. Forney, of the Press, will
come this morning like the shock of heavy
blow.
A long service in the army during the war,
followed by duty in other departments of the
Government after the Rebellion, had brought
him into relations with more than an ordinary
number of persons, and there is hardly any part
of the land where his sudden demise viii not
occasion sadness and regret.
