Yesterday afternoon, while Hugh Bradley
and John McCauley were at work upon a pile of

which they clinched, and in their struggles fell
to the ground. McCauley's head struck with
such force that his skull win fractured. lie
was removed to the Episcopal Hospital in an
insensible condition. Bradley was arrested and
committed to await the result of McCauley's
injuries.
Yesterday morning private watchman J. IT.
Clark, while in Perth street, between Parrish and
Poplar, met two men whoso movements excited
his suspicions. Ouc of them carried a bag, which
strengthened the suspicion that all was not
right, and the watchman approached them and
asked as to the contents of it. He was told that
it had flour in it. Not satisfied, he seized hold
of it, whereupon the men started off. The one
who carried the bag was caught and taken to the
office of Alderman Carpenter. In the bae were
found kid gloves, laces and silks to the value of
five or six hundred dollars. Circumstances lead
to the belief that these goods were stolen. Al
derman Carpenter committed the prisoner for a
further bearing.

The Review Yesterday Afternoon and the
ilanquet tM.nl Evening.
A few minutes after four o'clock yesterday
afternoon the Seventh regiment of New York
formed at Ninth and Chesnut streets, and, accom
panied by Its escort, marched over the route pre
viously published to Broad street. The formation of
the procession here was, a squad of policemen,
under Lieutenant Clark; First regiment (Gray
Kef erves) Colonel Latta, with a full drum corps
and band (this regiment bad out about two
hundred muskets); Fourth regiment (Fire
Zouaves), Colonel Sellers, two hundred and fifty
Etrong, with full drum corps and band; Seventh
regiment N. Y. S. M., five hundred and sixty
five men, headed by Grafulla's band, and under
command of Colonel Emmons Clark. The pro
cession looked very fine as It passed along, the
marching of the different regiments eliciting the
approbation of the spectators.
At the southwest corner of Broad, and Jeffer
son streets a stand had been erected in front of
the house of Francis Blackburne, Jr., upon which
stood General Prevost and staff, Mayor Fox, and
a number of invited guests. The house of Mr.
Blackburne had been thrown open as a head
quarters to the reviewing officials and distin
guished gnests who thronged the lower part of
the house. Among those present we noticed
Generals Prevost, Baxter, Hoffman, and Bank
son; Messrs. Dickson, Bell, Brlnton, and Mulr
head, and Surgeon Mears, of General Provost's
staff; Major Hoffman and Captain Feris, of
General Bankson's staff; Captain George A.
Smith, of General Hoffman's staff, and the fol
lowing committee ol the 5th Maryland regi
mentsCaptains Ward and Brown, Lieutenant
Mcllvain, Quartermaster-Sergeant Allmand,
and Sergeants Washburne, Bokce, Flors,
Thompson and Wearle. Also, Colonel Grey,
of the 8th P. M., ex-Mayor Gilpin, John E.
McDonough, Majors DeSilver and L Harwood,
of General Baxter's staff, John P. Wetherlll,
Esq., Generals R. M. Patterson, J. T. Owen,

' . . Sill ... 1 . 1 l I . 1. . .
uenerai uiueon viam, Major nmgai, ana a
number of other well-known persons. Every
one was made at home in the house, and until
the procession arrived a constant stream of
visitors poured backward aud forward. The
firocession occupied a very short time In pass
Dg, and the rear was brought up by several
vehicles to carry those who were too much
fatigued to march further. Broad street pre
sented a beautiful appearance, as almost every
house had bunting out, and the - windows
-were filled with the fairest of our cltv's dautru
ters, who bade a hearty welcome to the visitors
by their smiles and the waving of handkerchiefs.
After the review was over the escort was
dismissed, and the Seventn returned to the Con
tinental to partake of the banquet prepared for
them, ine dining-room was most elegantly ae
corated and festooned with flags, rive tables
were ranged the entire length of the spacious
saloon, aud others were placed In the avenues
leading thereto. Everything that could be done
for the enteriainmeut or ine guest' was doue.
Major-Geueral Charles M. Prevost presided on
the occasion, supported on oo:n sides, oy uene
ral Robert Patterson, and Colonel Emmons
Clark, of the Seventh. At the same table sat
also large number of prominent citizens of
Philadelphia.
It bad been the original intention to have no
formaline; still Majr-ue. rrevotst, desiring
that something should be said of a complimen
tary character to the 7th Regiment, uudertook
to make a few remarks, but the n ise and con
fusion were so great that his words could not be
beard two yards irom nun. Alter vainly endea
voring to address the assemblage, General Pre
vost tat down in despair.
Maior-General Patterson, however, obtained
the floor aud tried to make a few remarks that
might be beard, but without really hearing or
understanding what was said, the members of
the 7th. out ot respect tor the General, cheered
him vehemently.
The Hon. Daniel Doucherty was then called
upon, and made a desperate attempt to obtain a
hearing. Alter irumess attempts to succeed,
Mr. William V. McKean, comprehending the
situation, aud desirous that the members of the
7th should bear Mr. Dougherty, took the floor
and bv the dUulny of excellent tact and ludtr
meiit attracted the attention of the assembly to
U.e uubc-uid remark ox Uvueral ritersoo
He, foitnnately, succeeded in obtaining order,
and then telling the opportunity, announced
that Daniel Dougherty, Esq., was prepared to
address tbe audience, and be hoped a bearing
would be awarded bim. .
Mr. Dougherty then stood upon a chair and
was received with loud applause. He said that
be bad often beard 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 nave to be quiet and bear
him, as he was the "Hamlet" of the lime.
He then complimented the New York 7th and
pleasantly informed the members of that organi
sation that at one time he felt they had grossly
insulted him, of course unintentionally. At the
time before the war, 1858, when the 7th Regi
ment had left New York to go to Richmond,
Vo., 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 tbe 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 bim that the
7th bad gone home by way of Washington street
wharf, and had relinquished the idea ot accept
ing the banquet that was to be given them.
He was, therefore, cheated out of his speech.
He never bad such an opportunity before, and
he never expected to have another again, be
cause, in candor, be 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 a parallel between New York and Phila
delphia, and trusted that all jealousies between
the cities would forever be banished.
General Joshua T. Owen then spoke. He al
luded to tbe services of the 7th Kcgimcnt during
the war in protecting the Interior, and the only
offset to their valuable e ervices that he could
think of would be when possibly a war took
place on the Atlantic front, when Philadelphia
legiments 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 mili
tary tflickncy of the 7th, and stated that
the visit to this cit 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 lire, and proceeded to Market street wharf
and embarked for Cape May.
TI1E WAR CLOUD.
Europe Mill In tipenne The Council at the
Tullerlcn Pruxsia's Itefuaal to Receive the
French AinbiiNNmtor.
Paris, July 14-5 P. M The Emperor left
St. Cloud this morning by special train, and
arrived at the Tuileries at noon. The Ministers
having been summoned to meet him were all
at the Palace, and a council was held immedi-
aEely after his arrival.
At half-past 3 o clock this afternoon the Pre
sidents ot the Senate and the Corps Legislatif,
which were then in session, were informed that
the Government would have a communication
to make to those bodies before the close of the
sitting. It is generally believed this communi
cation will be a declaration of war.
It is positively asserted that Count Benedettl
has been ordered to returu to France, and that
be only awaits the departure of Baron yon
wertner, rrussian .Minister, irom fans.
NORTH OERMAN PARLIAMENT CONVOKED.
London. July 14 The report that the North
German Parliament has been convoked is re
peated, with the addition that it will meet as
early as next month.
BISMARCK THOUGHT THE WITHDRAWAL WOULD
SETTLE MATTERS.
A story comes from Germany that Bismarck
beard of Prince Leopold's withdrawal while on
bis way to rejoin the King at Ems, whereupon
he turned back and set out for his estates Id
Varein.
DEPARTURE OF THE FRENCH MINISTER FROM
BERLIN.
Ems, July 14 Prince Frederick William will
leave to-morrow morning for Berlin. Count
Benedetti, the urencn Ambassador, left at o
P.M.
ENTHUSIASTIC SUPPORT OF THE KING.
Tbe German people are a unit in support of
their King, and wild enthusiasm prevails In the
minor States. General Moltke ba3 been sum
moned from bis Silcsian estates. Prince Gorts
cbakoff has gone to Wildbad.
TREATMENT OF COUNT BENEDETTI BY THE KING.
Berlin. July 14. The King's refusal of
Count Bcnedetti's demands, coupled with bis
peremptory declension of a future conference
with the ambassador, will be apt to arouse new
apprehensions of hostility, but will not neces
sarily lead to war, as it is simply the act of the
chief of tbe Hohenzollern family, and not an
act of the Government, wnicn would require the
constitutional counter-signature of the Ministry.
Prussia reiutes to ananaon ner policy oi mas
terly inactivity with regard to the Spanish
throne.
RUSSIAN FEELING AC AIN8T FRANCE.
At St. Petersburg there is a strong feelinir on
the part of the Russian Government against
i ranee, H is believed now tnat jNapoieon is
bent
ON AGGRESSIVE WAR,
to destroy the balance of power in Europe, and,
seizing an overmastering position, force the
restoration of the Bourbons on Spain.
ENGLAND COINCIDES WITH FRANCE.
London. July 14. Mr. Gladstone stated in
the House of Commons to-day, in reply to a
question of Mr. Disraeli, that the correspond
ence of ber Majesty's Government with foreign
J towers, occasioned by the difference between
''ranee and Prussia, was incomplete, and the
E resent was not the time for its pu lication; but
e would say that the British Government, in
common with tbe European Cabinets, sustained
tbe position taken by Duke de uramont, which
was that Spain was entitled to choose any one
lor King except a German prince.
WASHING T0N
THE EUROPEAN WAR PRUSSIA AND THE UNITED
STATES.
Washington, July 14. Baron Gerolt, the
Prussian Minister, received despatches from bis
Government directing him to ask this Govern
ment whether, in case of European war, Prus
tian 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. It will be a mode of placing the
whole Prussian commerce under the registry
of the United States, and if a long war ensues
and rjrooer legislation is enacted In this conn.
try, it will probably result in a 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
wuld be to obliterate it by tbe blockading of
Prussia's two or three ports, and a thorough
scouring 01 tue seas oy tue immense navy ot
Franco. The Dest-iniormea puouc 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-dav that the administration was of the same
opinion.
