New York, Auer. 22. F. Gallairdet, in his Wkepatoh from Paris to this morning's Vourrier des Etats-Unia, says: It is with much difficulty that I can obtain positive in formation concerning the situation of affairs in the neighborhood of Metz. Marshal Uaaine Btill insists on the necessity of silence. itllfltaken Poller of the French OHlclnl. This is wrong, in my opinion, for the anxiety which prevails in Faris, in spite of the categoric declarations of the Minister of War, is prejudicial to the national cause. The bourgeois are timid and distrustful, and think there would be no motive to conceal other than unfavorable news; and their dis content is fed by the not very reassuring des patches which reach us from Bras Is and London; Bazaine' Despatches Not Made Public 1 have myself seen the latest de spatches from Bazaine. lie declares posi tively that he is the victor, and that his strategic movement has been accomplished with success, but is attended with serious losses. 'Why not give publicity to this des patch, and reassure unquiet spirits? The enemy eould not gain from it any useful in formation. Naive Opinion of a French Correspondent! To sum up, I believe that the incessant combats of the last seven days have been favorable to us, but that they have not yot brought about decisive results. One Fact In Certain, the army of the Prince Royal of Prussia continues its march on Faris. Yesterday it teas "at Vitry-le-Francais, and if we may believe a report which ha? reached the Corps Legialatif , it has the appearance of moving t turn the camp at Chalons and fall upon the capital. The Emperor and ItlacMahea Are at Chalons. They have too great a re venge to take to permit any movement not likely to be successful. The Sieve or Paris. Meanwhile measures are being taken by General Troohu which indicate that we are on the point of being besieged. Yesterday be issued a proclamation calling upon all de fenders of the capital to rally to his support, toad declaring that the hour of danger had arrived. "It is for Paris to prove to the world," Le added, "that long years of pros perity have weakened neither her nor her patriotism." On his part, Admiral llonciere has ad dressed the seamen and marines who are de fending the forts in an order of the day making an appeal to the glorious memories of Bebastopol. The Garde Natlonale. The armament of the National Guard is complete. Yesterday more than fifty thou sand guns were distributed, and Chevreau de clared to the Chambers that in a few days a hundred thousand National Guards would be under arms. Grain Is Arriving in great quantities, and the city is provisioned or more than eight months. All this cer tainly indicates that if we are threatened with a siege we are certainly prepared to sustain it. The Parisians la Good Spirits. The people of Paris are in excellent spirits and full of patriotism. They will rise in this crisis to the height of the situation. The Niece of Htrasburg. Pabis, Aug. 22. Late advices have been received here from Ernstein, a town near Strasburg. The Prussian army besieging fctmburg had caused the people of Ernstein to change the course of the little river 111, in that neighborhood, in order to stop the sup pi j of water for the city.

The Gnrde Mobile Without Arms. London, Aug. 22. The Garde Mobile is returning to fane from the front, doubtl, because it is unprovided with arms.

I Paiuh, Aug. 22. Convoys with tv vion9 have gone forward to supply Ijjin armies. One hundred and sixty thousand men have passed through Paris to the front since Fri day morning. ' The Prussians Cannot bo stopped. It is generally thought here, however, that the march of the Prussians cannot be arrested before reaching Paris. It is said that there are now nearly 300,000 good troops at and near Paris. It is believed that one more decisive battle gives Paris to the Prussians. Prince Napoleon's mission. Florf.nce, Aug. 22.

All went merrily until the demon rum gained the ascendancy, when, their animal passions baing aroused, they com menced a somewhat tempestuous conversation. This continued for some time, but finally thev came to blows, and O'Neill, finding that he, as Retting the woret of the battle, drew Knife and stabbed both Vanllnden and Delaney, the Hrst in the groin and the second In the thigh. Van linden's wound Is pronounced by the physician who Is in attendance on him to be a fatal one. Dclnney Is but slightly injured. Immediately after committing the bloody deed O'Neill fled, and has cot since been found. Another Probable Homicide. Ou Saturday night last an inebriated fellow named James Foucht entered tavern at Third and Beaver streets, and called for liquor. The proprietor, seeing that he had already imbibed eulhclently, refused to either sell or give him any, whereupon Foucht seized a glass and hurled it at the proprietor. Indicting a wound of such a character that the physician who has been called in despairs of his recovery. Reserve otllcer rage lortunateiy nappened in the neigh borhood at the time, and at once arrested Fout bt. Alderman Toland committed him to await the result of the Injuries he had Inflicted. A Narrow Escape Gas. About half-past 12 o'clock this morning. Assistant Fire Marshal Randall discovered a strong smell of gas in the vicinity of Eleventh and Market streets, and looking around, found that it came from the cel lar of a Farmers' Hotel. Opening the door the place was found to be filled with gas, and It bad aleo commenced ascending to the stories above, where were sleeping thirty boarders. Without giving them any alarm a quiet search was made for the leakage, when it was lound that the pipe was defective in two places. The leaks were temporarily closed and the cellar-door left open to allow the escape of the gas in caso thev should again open, au officer being placed in charge of the door until this morning. Dry Gotjb. For months past the Boston Bteamship Company have been missing goods from their wharf above Pine street, and accord ingly they resolved to set a guard thereon. At an early hour this morning an ebony-hued thief named William Williams was observed to ap proach a lot of dry good boxes, pry one of them open, and take therefrom four pieces of cloth. No sooner bad William succeeded thus far, than he was quietly taken by the neck and marched to the Third District Station House. He will have a hearing to-day at the Central Station. "Tub Episcopal Register." The issue of the Episcopal IleqisU'.r for last week was a double number, which confMns a great amount of religious news from all parts of the world, together with a variety of Interesting original and selected articles. Messrs. McCallaA Stavely are endeavoring to make the lfrgister the lead ing religious journal of the country, and their enterprise thus far has been crowned with a greater success tnan was anticipated at its inception. The Troubles of a Policeman. Yesterday Officer Murphy attempted to arrest a "rough" on Tweaty-Crst and Race streets, when he was attacked by Thomas Donnelly and William Dun lap and rather roughly handled, his coat being torn from his back. Recovering, however, he dropped his original prisoner, and with the aid of a citizen succeeded in arresting his assail ants. Alderman Smith held each in f 1000 bail to answer. Boisterous. Yesterday Officer King at tempted to arrest a disorderly character at Second and Coates streets, when he was accosted by Wm. Elton, who questioned his right to do so. King insisted that he was right, whereupon Elton assaulted him for the purpose of rescuing the prisoner. King at once dropped No. 1 and seizing Elton marched him before Alderman Cahlll, who held him in $800 ball to answer at Court. Heroic Robert Newton is the title assumed by a cowardly character who has of late been boarding with a Mrs. Keogh, at Front and Pine streets. Yesterday Robert accosted Mrs. Keogh at the door and commenced denouncing the quality pf the "hash" furnished him. Woman like, she replied, when Robert, drawing a black jack, struck her on the head, indicting a severe wound. For this he was arrested, and Aider man Delaney held him in 1 500 bail to answer. Pistol Practice. At an early hour yester day A. M. a row occurred between a party of roughs at Eleventh and Catharine streets, during the continuance of which one of the participants, named Charles Connor, fired four shots from a revolver at another one. Connor was arrested, and Alderman Bonsall committed him to prison to answer. Hubs. James Kennedy and James Collins, two impecunious-looking characters, were arrested at St. John apd Green streets early yes terday morning on the suspicion of having stolen a lot of carriage bubs which they had in their possession. Alderman Toland held them for a further hearing. Silverware. On Saturday night the resi dence of William Bailey, No. 1109 Spring Gar den street, was robbed of silverware to the value of f 25. The thieves entered the hallway of the house adjoining, ascended to the second story, and thence across a bulk window to the place of Bailey. Bummers. The police f the Fifth district on Saturday night arrested 152 bummers and ran them into the extensive grounds surrounding tbe station-house, and kept them therein until this morning, in order that our streets might not be disgraced by them on the Sabbath.

A poverty-stricken crea ture in feminine form, named Mary Snebley, has been held in ioOO bail by Alderman Nelll tor the theft of coal from the cars of the Reading Rail road company, on Trenton avenue. I. O. W. B John Loucom, residing at Crease and Thompson streets, was this morning sent to prison for beating his wife, by Alderman Shoemaker. LEGAL INTELLIGENCE. The Boodle Kmc Is Free. United States District Court Judje Cadwalader. This morning tbe case fixed for trial was that of Andrew J. Wightman, known in some cir cles as tbe "Boodle King," charged with making and issuing a certain counterfeit United States Treasury note, which he was supposed to have used in the boodle game. The commit ment of Wightman for this offeuse occurred last spring, when he appeared in this court as a detective in the secret ser vice of tbe Treasury, and gave the prin cipal testimony .against Colonel Sherman, tbe beer stamp counterfeiter. In the course of his testimony he stated that he had operated with Sherman in the boodle game, and by it had made 41000 from George Mountjoy. Imme diately at the close of the trial the Judge, upon his own motion, held him to ball to be tried for making what is called a '"flush" note for this game. He was admitted to bail, and was hst week brought back to this city for trial. In opening the case the District Attorney stated to tbe jury (bat he would prove that the defendant authorized the making of this note and issued it, and at tbe time of his arrest had upon bis person 10,000 of the stuff. When the District Attorney resumed his chair and was about to proceed to the examination of witnesses, the Judge suddenly discovered a fatal defect in the indictment, which rendered a trial useless, because if a conviction were obtained It could not be sustained, and therefore he ad vised the Government to abandon the case. After much discussion and consultation the Dis trict Attorney submitted to the views of the I Court, and a verdict tI not guilty was rendered.
