The European news brought ns by the American and by the Noea Scotian is of almost startling Interest The Prussians are sweeping down Into Austria like an avalanche, crushing everything before them. The culmination of the contest, thus far, was in a tremendous pitched battle oi the 3d ol July, at Sudowa, In which the Prus sians were commanded by tb Kin in person, and the Austrians by Field-Marshal Bbnedek, and which resulted in a complete victory tor the Prussians, the Austrians losing 14,000 prisoners aad 118 cannon. The previous contest! are now shown to have been uniformly favorable tor the Prussians. The three days battles of the 2Gtli, 27th, and 28th of June took plaoe along an extended line, and were caused by the movements of tha two Prussian amnios, under the Crown Prince and Prince Charles, towards a concentration in Northern Bohemia. The one of these wan moving from the direction of Saxony, where it bad captured Dresden; the other was the main army of Silesia. The obvious design of the Austrian commander was to fall upon the ad vancing columns of these armies separately be fore they could form a unction, and thus drive them back, or destroy them in detail. In these preliminary engagements the Austrians pretended to have achieved 'success, and in the ImuWplic'ty of details and amid tne contradictory nature of the despatches, it was difficult to form a correct Judgment as to the real facts in the case. One circumstance, however, did not escape the eyes of the caretul observer, and that was that, although the Aus trians claimed victories in these early battles, the Prussians had absolutely advanced their linos and had already secured a firm foothold across the Bohemian frontier. It wan like the successes which the Rebels used to claim in the campaign between Grant and Lbb from the Bapidan down, when every Rebel victory was unaccountably followed by an advance of Grant and a falling back of Lhb. This was the condition of affairs previous to the accounts brought us by the late arrivals. From them we learn that in all these prelimi nary engagements the Prussians were uniformly successful, especially In the battles of the 27th and 28th of June, in which the Austrian corps under Gablbnz was completely broken up, losing prisoners, guns, and colors in large numbers. As a consequence, the Prussian armies had now got safely through the mountain passes, and had crowded down well into the open country, the Austrians falling back towards the southeast, so as to cover the railroad leading to Vienna, and taking up a strong position at Gitchin, a little town of some 3000 inhabitants, a short distance southeast of Turnau, and about fifty miles north east of Prague. Here, upon the 29th of June, the next battle took place, the Prussians carry ing the town by storm, and Inflicting great damage upon the Austrians. Up to this time, In the brief campaign commencing on the 26th of June, the Austrian losses are stated to have footed up the enormous sum of 20,000 killed and wounded and 15,000 prisoners. Several battalions had been completely annihilated. The Saxon Corps, the Clam-Gallas Corps, the Gablenz Corps, and the Kalik .Brigade had been thoroughly broken up, and were no longer in a condition to fight. More over, the two great Prussian armies had now formed a complete union, and were in excellent spirits apd condition. To add to the glory of the occasion, the King had himself arrived, and taken formal command of the Prussian hosts in person. In this threatening condition of affairs the Austrian commander had but one resource, and that was to concentrate his whole army for a great battle. Tb.ii he did at Sudowa, a point between Joseph&tadt and Koniggratz, a short distance direotly north of Pardiroitz. Here the Prussian army attacked him on the 3d instant. The battle raged furiously for twelve hours. Until 10 A. M. the advantages seemed to be on the side of the Austrians, but from that time the the Prussians had the best of It, and at 2 P. M. they stormed the strong point of the Austrian position, and drove them from the field. Evening found the Austrian army in full and disorderly retreat for Koniggratz, pursued by the Prussian cavalry. The magnitude ot the victory may be estimated from tne fact that up to the evening of the 4th, the Prussians had captured fourteen thousand unwoundud prisoners, and one hun dred and sixteen cannon I Prince Licbtknstrin and Prince Windischuraiz were tairen prisoners, throe Austrian Archdukes were wounded, Ga ie ral Count Hums was shot in the head, and Colo nel Binder, and other staff officers, killed. But the significance of this defeat to the Aus. trlans may beBt be inferred from the fact tbat, on the very next day, the Kraperor hastened to telegraph to Louis Napolbon, offtring to cede to him Venttia and acotptmg his mediation, for peace. This shows that Austria is in extremity. The Km peror Napolbon immediately telegraphed to the King of Prussia to obtain an armistice. Whether the King agreed to grant one or not is not stated. For the present the Prussians are masters of the situation. They have isolated the Austrian army, under Bkhmmsk, from the Joint Austrian and Fedoral forces in the West, in and about Frankforiron the-Main. They have concentrated an Immense aimy in Central Bohemia. Well appointed, ably commanded, and flushed with uninterrupted victory in a campaign of wonder ful oharaoter, there is apparently nothing to Btop them this side of Vienna. It la no longer a question of empire for Austria, but one ot life THE DAILY EY1WWQ TELEGRAPH. PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, Tim Incoming British Government Latest advices give us the full Cabinet, a lormed under the auspices of Lord Dbrbt. We have the full list: Premier Lord Derbt. Chancellor ol the Exchequer Mr. Disraeli. Foreign Secrets ry Lord Stanlrt. Home Secretary Mr. Walpolb. Colonial Secretary Lord Carnarvon. Secretary tor India Lord Cranbornb. Secretary ot War General Peel. First Lord of ttie Admiralty Sir John Pa k in oton President of tho Council Duke of Bucking ham and Chan dos. Privy Seal Lord Malmrsburt. Lord Chancellor Lf id Chelmsford. Lord Lieutenant of Ireland Marquis of Abercorn. President of Board of Trade 8ir Stafford Korthcotb. President of Poor Law Board Mr. Hardy. There fc little to attract attention in its for mation. The absence of Sir Edward Bulwbr Lytton is noticeable, and pives rise to com ments in the British press, Mr. Henlkt, also, although previously identified with the Tory Adminixtra'.lon, holds no portfolio in tho fusion Cabinet. The successful competitor of Mr. Gladstonb for the scat from Oxford, Mr. Gatiiornr Hardy, comes in as President tf the Pour Law Board. While the Duke of L"ok ingham and Cuandos is President of the Council, Lord Cranbornb, well known as a on trlbutor to the Quarterly, Is Seorelary for India. It cannot full to be of interest to our read, n to know romething ot the past lite ot each ot ' ho 30 who are now to have the control of the migtaues foreign power: Edward Geoffrey Smith Stanley, Earl of Derby, is 67 year old. At the Hge ot 21 he en tered Parliament, and distinguished himself as a ready debater. In 1821 hu was Under-Secret ry for the Colonies, which position he held under two Administrations. In the year 1823 he went away, but vthon in 1830 Lord Grey formed a reformed Cabinet, Mr. Stanley was appointed Chief Secretary for Ireland. In 1833 he wai ap pointed Secretary for the Colonies, with the special charge of abolishing slavery in the West Indies, which duty he faithfully executed. In 1841 he was Colonial Secretary under Sir Robert Peel. In 1844, bclore his accession to the Peerape as E..rl of Derby, tie was created Baron Stanley, and took hisseat in the Peer. In 1815, upon the defeat of Peel, Lord Stanley wad in vited to form a Protective Cabinet, but declined. In 1861 be succeeded to the vast estates of the Earl of Derby. In 1852 Lord Uussrll was de feated, and Derby called upon to form a Cabinet, which he did. His Ministry was short-lived, for when the year went outthev went out with, it. In 1858 Russell was again defeated, when Derby once more came in. This also was as a flower of the field, lor it perished in a day. And now alter eight years' battliug in the opposition, h-; Is ouce more at the head of allair. It is probable that his official service will cease before the year has expired. The Right Hon. Benjamin Disraeli is sixty one year of age. He commenced the study of the law in London ; but on the appearance of "Vivian Grey" and other novels he rose rapidly into public notice. In 1831 he stood tor Parlia ment, but wai defeated. The same ambition and result occurred in 1834. Asrain, in 1837, he stood, and that time with success. His reputa tion is rather ot a literary than political nature, although he is an able speaker. In 1849 he was the bead of the Commons. In 1852 he was Chancellor of the Exchequer under Derby. He held the same office in 1859, and now, for the fourth time, holds it in 1866. It will be noticed that two men renowned in the field of letters are the heads of the most powerful Government of Europe Darby, as translator of " Homer," and Disraeli, as a novelist. Lord Edward Henry Stanley, the oldest son of the Earl of Derby, was born at Knowsley In 1826. In 1848 he was elected me Tiber for Lynn Regis, as the successor of Lord G. Bhntinck. In 1850 he delivered a celebrated speech on the subject of the Sugar Colonies. He then visited India, and during his absence was appointed, in March, 1852, Under-Secretary of State for For eign Affairs in the Derby Ministry. Though conservative in politics, he entertains very liberal opinions on many subjects, euch as the Church rates. When Sir W. Moleswortu died in 1855, and a vacancy was thereby created in the Colonial Office, Lord Palmersion offered Lord Stanley the seals of the office, the accept ance of which he however declined. In 1858 and 1859, when his father again came into power, he was appointed Secretary of State for India. The Right Hon. Henry Howard Herbert, Earl of Carnarvon, who has been appointed Secretary for the Colonies, was born in 1831, and graduated at Christ Church, Oxford, In 1852. During his minority he succeeded to the title and estates of his father, and noon after taking his beat in the Upper House, he made his maiden speech, which called forth the encomiums of the Earl of Derby. In 1859 he was nominated by the same distinguished statesman High Steward ot the University of Oxford. Earl Carnarvon has his reputation yet to make, a The Right Honorable Specer Horatio Wal pole, who holds the office of Home Secretary tor the third time, was born in 1806, and edu cated at Cambridge, where he obtained a good deal of distinction. As Secretary of Srale for the Home Department in Lord Derby's Cabinet of 1852, he carried through Parliament the bill for embodying the militia. He returned to otlice with Lord Derby in the same capacity. He has represented the Cnlversltv ot Cambridge in the House of Commons since 1R5G. He is a great srrandson of the lamous Sir Aobert Walpolb, trrt Earl of Oxford. Robert Arthur TALBOT.Viscount Cranbornb, the new Secretary of Slate for India, is the eldest living son of the Marqtii. ol Salisbury, who was a member of both Earl Derby's previous Cabi nets. He was born in 1830, and has been M. P. fcr the family borough of Stamford since 1853. He has not held office before. 1 y,The Right Honorable Lleuteuant-Generitl Jonathan Pebl, Secretary for War, succeeds to office by prescriptive right, having filled the same position in the Derby Cabinet of 1858-9. ne is a fifth son of the first Sir Robert Pbel, and was born in 1799. From 1841 to 1816 he was Surveyor General of Ordnance. He is popularly considered an "old fogy," being not only a Tory of the ancient school, but a man of little force in Parliament. The Duke of Buckingham and Chanbos, Presi dent of the Council, was a lord of the Treasury in the last Derby Ministry. He was horn in the year 1823; was appointed (being then Earl Temple) keeper of the privy seal to the Prince of Walbs m 1853, and succeeded to the dukedom la 1861. He U more distinguished for the lustre of lis ancestry, among whom are tho Grbn vrtLiw and Lord Temple, statesmen of the time of Gborob II and Oborob III, than for his per sonal achievements. Ol the lesser lights of the Ministry wo have no room to speak. The complexion of the entire Cabinet, it will be noticed, is the Fame as that short-lived administration of 1852 and 1868-9. We predict for the present inoumbency as pre mature a death. A lesson from the City Commissioner's Case. Wb published on Saturday the decision rendered by Judge Allison In the contested election case of D. P. Wbavbb vs. John Given. The Court, in giving its decision, was not over-nice In Its denunciation of the. lraud which had been at tempted on the will of the people. The opinion read as follows: That the bold and flagrant fraud conneoted with, tho amir vote, which wad established beyond uo cctsml contradiction or reasonable question, required ns to bold that uotliiug (hurt ot proof of trattd, equally specific and direct, ouvlit to be woisrhed bv the Court as a set-off to a delicately planned y t. m of vhotrtile forgery vhlch, before tn Koiurn Judaea, overthrew the real majority of Weavbr, m it atp. area upon the face or the returns of the himo vote, and gave the election to Uivex by a majority of 822. W e said to the respondent tbat a forgery, to f,rot and txtinxive in tin character, o defiant in lis assault upon tho expressed will ot the people, ami so kuooemlul in its intended purpose, when actuated ana exposed by the dearest etidunoe, which was wholly uncontradicted, oiurht not to be allowed to be turned aside or overcome, except by tneestebinh mcnt of other frauds, plain, palpable, and direct." In accordance with this opinion, the right of Muor Weaver to the seat has been fully and clearly established. There Is no honest man in our city be he Republcanor Democrat who will not rejoice that the duly elected servant of the people has at lat got bis dues. In addition, the cmdidate supported by a " wholesale forgery" has been ousted, and stands betore the community in the proper disgraceful light in which such an etlort should appear. JonN Given received the Republican nomina tion for the office of Commissioner by a malority of one vote in a full convention. He was the choice ot a corrupt political ring, whhh ignored all responsibility to the people, and believed that a party is merely a machine for personal aggrandisement. We have so long been accus tomed in our city to submit to the choice ot tho Convention, and to elect, without questioning, any man whom they may nominate, that the pol tical wire pullers had at last come to 03 heveihat the character of tl.e cnndidatP had but little to do with success. It was merely his paity principles which the people examined. iLtluenced by this fallacious belief, Givkn was nominated; and the result was, that while all the red ot his party bad some thouunds majority, he, running ten thousand votes behind his ticket, was defeated. One would have thought that after a rebuke to openly and bitterly administered, such a popular declaration that ten thousand of his political friends did not believe him honest; that, this man Given would have quietly allowed his competitor to enter in the office. aua he, hiding his dtminh-hed head, seek l save what little char acter was left. But such was not the case. A system of the most flaerant and wholesale forgery was resorted to. Our honored soldiers were impressed into the scheme, the names of the lamented dead were dragged forth from respected resting-places, and made to figure in the dis honest ellort. Nothing was too sacred for violation, and the ballot given to the soldier was prostituted to the base purpose of personal dishonesty. We use strong terms, but no stronger than those made use of by the jaalclary. That branch ol our civil service into which pas sion never enters, which speaks only in the calm tone of judicial and deliberate conviction, has made use ot language far stronger than our own. It has been stated by certain opposition jour nals that this man Given was the Republican nominee, was elected by Republican votes, and supported by Republican influence during the contest. The effoit to make political capital out of personal dishonesty is no new dodge in our local quarrels, but we are thankful that the Republican party can wash its hands of all the crimes of its candidate. He was not nomi nated by the mass of the party, a clique secured the candidacy, and notwithstanding the prestige attached to a regular nomination, ten thousand members of the party refused to lend him their support He was defeated by Republican votes. As soon as the result was announced the Repub lican press of this city, with singular unanimity, argued in iavor of Major Weaver. For months that gentleman has had no stronger friends in his own political ranks than in the editorial chairs of the Philadelphia papers. They have denounced the fraud, and utterly repudiated the man who was guilty of the crime. A Republican judge has decided in favor of Major Weaver, and the Republican press are to-day congratulating the community over the defeat ot their own party candidate. Can greater honesty or greater frankness be found than they have exhibited T We think not The skirts ot the Union party are tree from all the mire which has covered Its nominee. He has been read out of the party, and from bis defeat some lessons, timely and im portant, should bo learned by the conductors of political rings the first of which is the deduc tion that no dishonest man, that no man whose character is blemished, can be elected to an official position because he gets a nomination. Party Hues are clearly drawn, but there are enough honest and independent voters in Philadelphia to keep any rogue out of place. When a man has milled his reputation, bis party must drop him, and not seek to clear his misdeeds by 'giving them their sanction. There has never been a more united, and seldom a more powerful local party than the Republi can in Philadelphia, yet they utterly failed to elect a bad man. Let this example be remem bered, and let us never again have a candidate selected by a ring, which will compel honest men to scratch the ticket and support a Demo crat The second Ipssod is that, although in national matters party principles are all potent in local affairs the people will look rather to the man than to their doctrines. What we want is honesty and efficiency, and it a Democrat p is seseg them, and a Republican does not the Democrat will probably be elected. Mow one word to John Given. There once upon a time lived a man named William Shakespeare, and this man wrote a pluy called Ufnry VI1L In It ho makes "Cardinal Wolsey" 'ay, "Corruption wins not more than honesty." Now, Mr. Given, although without your valuable case as a precedent, this man Soakrsfbari was right To be corrupt is likely to be successful than it honesty is the rule of action. Throughout your whole cond not of the rase, you have exhibited a total ignorance of this cardinal principle; and 11 at tho outset you had invested in a copy of the Bard of Avon, you would not have been obliged "to learn in suffering what U taught in song." Death of Captain Strllwaorw, TJ. S. N.-We regret to announce the snddon death of Capiain Benry S. 8Ullwaren, or the United Mates Navy, hioti occurred yesterday afternoon, at Caps Island, New Jersey. Captain 8tl:wairn was one of our most prominent citizens, as well as an offioer of rare worth. lie was conoeraod in sme of the mot prominent actions Id our lto war. He was in command of the Merctdita in the action off Charleston harbor, when the Befools undertook to raise the blockade by attack, in onr blookadnir vessels wuh their Iron-clada-In that aotion he was so severely injured that he &erenrecoverei from its efibcU.

He did not stay in command ol her long, owinc to his iaoreaslng illness, but was oondomned and sent home on sick leave in April, 1836. From that time be has not been oaoable of being in service. Capiain Stollwaren waa uni versally beloved. As an officer and a private eltiion he has always commandod the renpeot and admira tion ot all who have been associated with him. lie was fifty-four years old, and leaves a wife and several children. He will bo buried from bis lato residence, No. 1617 Chesnut street Von Biamaik. Throughout the whole series of remarkable dents which have resulted in the disruption of the Germanic Confederation, the conquest of Hanover and Saxony, and the recent disastrous and overwhelming defeat of the Austrian army under General Benedek, there has been appa rent on the part of Prussia, the directing power and resistlecs energy of a slugle mighty mind. 'The man of blood and iron," the proud, domi neering, restless Bismark, is the master spirit of those great events which are startling all r uropo. Throuehout the whole contest he has displayed the characteristics of one who felt that he was master ot the situation. He hns exhibited an Inflexibility of purpose, a promptness of execution, and a thorough com prehension of lacts, which stamp him as not only one oi the first men in Europe, but us one ol the most remarkable characlers ot modern times. Never has the value of promptitude in national atlairs been more signally shown. When be had made up his mind to take possession of the Duchies, it was done instantly, and in such force that no resistance was practicable. Wh'-n a rupture with the minor States of Germany be came inevitable, he did not wait for explana tions, or for the exchange of diplomatic notes, but moved his armies at once upon them, thus gaining advantages of position and a moral pres tige of success of the very highest importance. In the campaign with the Aubtrians the same qualities have shone out conspicuously. The Prussian movements have been prompt, power ful, unremitted, and most wonderfully successful. It is true he bos had good material to work with, but he hs shown that he knew how to use it We may be sure that re have not yet heard the last of this remarkable man. He has but one peer in Europe, and that is the Emperor ii AroLKUN. me ueiu neiorc mm is an inviting one. Events ate ripe tor the hand of a master to mould aLd direct ' bem. We shall near more ot this man of blood and iron ("Der Mann von blut und Eisenr) this terrible Bismarck. The Prussian Needle Guns. Onr thing which is said to have contributed essentially to the success of the Prussians in their recent battles with the Austrians is the celebrated "needle gun," with which the former are armed. This gun has told with terrible effect upon the Austrian masses. One military correspondent, who was an eye-witness of one of the battles, says tbat In the tiring of infantry the proportion of Austriaus wno lell to that of Prus sians was as six to one. The Proposed Cession of Venetla. The Austrian Emperor finding himself In danger ot losing his crown, having already lost his best army, has offered to cede Venetla to Louis Napoleon. The general impression seems to be tbat this will terminate the war. There are many difficulties in the way, however, and it is too early to form a decisive judgment in regard to the matter. Prussia's plans and desires will now be a very important element in the final settlemtnt of the difficulties. The Tribune this morning concludes an able address to Congress with the following pertinent appeal: "Gentlemen In Congress t we pray you not to ad journ without doing temtthiiiy to check the outward flow ot Government bunds bearing six per oent. in terest la gold, and sold in .Europe for 80 to 85 per cent, below their nominal value. We wish you would bom contract the currency and increase the tariff; wepra? jou not to leave Wastiington without doina one or the otnerl And, If any m asure which may seem partial, inadequate, m rely palliative, aliould be presented, we eu treat every champion of ational tolvency and home industry to Kive it a hearty support. Make it betier if you can ; but vote for any tbiutr tbat tends to diminish, if but by a mic tion, the inundation of our country with lorein goods and fore fin debt " Thx motion to increase tne pay of members of Congress from $3000 to $4G00 is a highly proper one. We favor a still larger increase. If a man is qualified to fill the position of national legis lator, he can make more than $4000 a year. The expense ot living at Wahfpgton is so dear that an able but poor man is either compelled to decline election, or else to resort to that system of bribery which Is so di?graceful to our American politics.
