Although no •trustworthy report of any severe engagement is given, the news indicates that when hostilities do begin, they will be on a tremendous scale. - France seems to be trying to bully the South German States, the chief of which is Austria, into fighting on one side•or the other, of course expecting that they will join her in the grand effort to revenge Sadowa. We shall know in a day or two whether this effort be sin- On the other hand, Russia is said to be on the point of entering into an alliance With Prussia. This will add to the magnitude of the contest on sea as well as on land. Russia has a grudge against Napoleon, and wants her revenge for Sebastopol. If France can be beaten in this war, the Czar will find the way to Constantinople made much easier for him and-bisarmiCi. RECEPTIONS The reception business has been sufficiently overdone in Philadelphia to warrant the hope that it will soon begin to cure itself. Every roving organization of any kind that chooses to get up an excursion for itself, be it military, civic or pyric,—to adopt an adjective for fire companies,—considers itself entitled to a public reception at the hands of the people of Phila. delphia. Thereupon great preparations are made, contributions are levied upon good natured and liberal citizens, or extorted from merchants who are frightened .into the absurd idea that they are buying trade by subscribing fileba - nquets and brass bands. Committees of ajmgemerfig,Re created, whereon ambitieus young...gentlemen contend with each other for the pre-eminence.. Large displays of "fuss and feathers" are made over the strangers. They are taken to Independence Hall and shown the bell that Mr. Logan wants to ring. They are taken , .to ..:.the:- _New Ledger Building, and perhaps to Fairmount Park. Speeches are made to and by them. Money is spent, and the -receptionists go on their way voting that Philadelphia is a pattern of all hospitalities, and-then some fresh arrival sweeps them. out of the public mind. Philadelphia has lately had somewhat of an excess of this costly amusement. A...body. of New Oileans firemen opened the season. They -were - "some:of - our most - y(Lfitarkalfle - pen - ple'' They could run faster, climb higher, shout louder and squirt higher than anything that has ever been produced. They had a reception which must have cost at least ten thousand dollars. In return they offered to give an exhi bition of their prowess, but. Mayor Fox rather sensibly concluded that our model Fire Depart ment did not need any additional stimulus in that direction, and the New Orleanists went .311 without the proposed exhibition, to make wad for the New York Seventh. What the total cost of entertaining tilt Seventh Regiment was, we do not know. Apart from the expenditure at Cape May, which must have been very heavy, six thousand dollars were swallowed up in their entertain ment in this city. The entertainment 'was profusely generous and fully sustained• Phil adelphia's good name for open-handed hospit ality. There seems to be a very generally ac cepted doubt in the public mind, whether this six or ten thousand dollars might not been as advantageously -spent on our own military organizations, many of which find it very diffi cult to wring from our citizens enough to encourage them to make a handsome appear ance on the parade-ground. It cannot be denied that the general impression left by the visit of the famous " Seventh - to Philadelphia and Cape May, is not likely to promote liberal contributions from our people for similar par poses in the future. Following the Seventh Regiment, we are to have another "Reception, - and again a levy is made upon the patient purses of our citizens. This time it is to be an ex-rebel regiment from Baltimore, famous for its services in Stonewall Jackson's brigade or division. The Post, this morning, tenderly refers to some ' events which may have transpired during the last ten years" with. which this regiment may have been con nected, but does not consider the fact "of any serious importance." There is still some dif ference of opinion on this subject, and there are' a good many families in Philadelphia to whom those events are, to-day, of very serious importance. But the point we are now press ing is not particularly personal to the Maryland Fifth Regiment. Indeed, it will probably be urged by the military gentlemen who now have charge of the " trade" of Philadelphia, that • as this and several fellow-regiments were disap pointed lb their last projected visit to Philadel phia, in the summer of 11.;;:,, in consequence of a previous " engagement " in Adams county, there should be special honors paid to it at this time. point we desire to make is against the whole business of such receptions as these. They are of no practical vahie to Philadelphia. The pretence that they bring trade of any con sequence here is a shallow mistake. They cost a great deal of mciney. They waste a great deal of time. They puff up little men into un due importance. They generally produce a large crop of jealousies and misunderstandings. They promote provincialism and flunkeyisoa to igh degres.—Therare - crften - the — occasion Of vulgar display and snobbishness. The momentary gratification which a street parade may Afford to the masses of the people is no compensation for these undesirable results, and we are glad to learn that some of our most lib eral citizens have found in this 'visit of the Maryland regiment the feather that breaks the stoutest camel's back. . There was . one class of pnblic reception's which Philadelphia use d to regard with just pride. During the dark years of the war we gave daily and nightly receptions to visiting regiments. Not to regiments bound on " gay and festive " excursions to sea-side ball-rooms. Not to regiments whose bayonets pointed northivard and whose traitor colo . rs were rid dled with loyal bullets. But regiments pressing sternly to -• the win front, to save their country and win for, it the peace which now teaches her to forget them, and to patronize their 'foes. Regiments halting for brief hours to be refreshed and fed and bid " God speed!" by the patriotic men and women of our Re freshment Saloons,.. or halting . again' as " Johnny , came marching home," with thinned ranks and tattered banners, from victorious battle-fields, or with tottering limbs and . haggard eyes, and skeleton forms from the hateful Southern prison pens. Those were receptions over :Thiel' Philadelphia never grew weary ; over Whieli her purse-strings never `closed; out of which the noble' men, and women - who 'formed their " Committees of Arrangements" never sought their own glory, but. only to .do their best duty to their country's cause. Thank God,. these "Receptions" are at an end. But the recollection, of . theni,—and, we, trust that it is not treason against the " trade" of Philadelphia occasionally to recall their memory,—the re collection of them dwarfs these- show recep tions, even the very best of them, into Very small insignificance. The establishment of a Paid Fire Depart ment,whenever that millennial blessedness shall - come, will - felieve, us of one class - of these costly and useless pageants. But it would better become the dignity of a great city like Philadelphia, which has so many claims to metropolitan" eminence which site so often weakens by displays - of needless provincialisins,- if she would not wait for the days of a Paid Fire Department, but set her face at once against a practice which has certainly run to great abuse. MAN DOMINGO The question of annexing the Dominican Republic to the United States is at rest for the present. Itbiay. be .revbred at, the next ses sion of Congress. It is not a partisan ques tion, nor a sectional question. It is not a question of the acquisition of more territory, for we have enough at present. So far as we are concerned,. there could be nothing gained by the annexation but a station and a depot for our naval vessels in:the West Indies. It is not worth - While - to' pay millions for this, with the risk of having to pay many more mil= lions for keeping up a gOvernment in the island, preserving peace among the Domin : leans, and preventing incursions of the Hay tians. Whoever would like to have a clear under standing of this San Domingo question should read an article on the subject, by H. Hargrave, in the August number of Lippincott's Maga zine. He knows the republic of Dominica, its history, its people, and those of the neighbor republic of Hayti. He demonstrates Very plainly that it is not desirable that the annexa tion project should be carried out; and that, in spite of reported votes in its favor, the people aree - p - pced - t - O — It; -- Liews also that, by a treaty with Hayti, Dominica is forbidden to allow herself to be annexed by any foreign power. Of course, if we chose, we could sus min Dominica in disregarding a treaty with an insignificant state like Ilayti. But this would not be decent or honorable, and a petty war would follow it, which would cost more than the island would be worth to us. If we require a naval station on the island, Mr. Hargrave does not consider the peninsula f Samana the best site for it. Ile prefers a ikarrow belt of land, separated from the rest of he island, stretching from the Bay of Itlance nilla, on the Ilaytian frontier, to that of Sa mana, being about 120 miles long and to 10 wide, and having an area of about 1,5t0 square miles. This, he assumes, may be leased for any period, and while a naval and coalina station may thus be secured, the land could be relet to colonists, who could make it very profitable. It seems to us that it would be better to make an experiment of this kind. than to undertake to annex all DOminica. If the experiment succeeded, and the new colony prospered, then annexation might be talked of, and perhaps the whole native population— Haytieris as well as Dominicans—could by that time find it to their interest to ask for the admission of the whole island as a State of the 'American Union. 110 HE FROM THE WAR - Since Napoleon and King William have re solved to spend the Summer in the Rhine country, American tourists have given up the idea. Visits to Strasburg, Mayence, Bingen and Ehrenbreitstein will be about as cheering and enjoyable as were visits during our war to Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, and other places on the Rappahannock. Two huge armies will be striving to drive one another from the picturesque and historic river. Of course, there has already been a stampede of foreigners that had thought to pass the Sum mer in that part of Germany. Of course-there has been, or will he, a similar stampede from places beyond the Rhine—from Dresden, Mu nich, Leipsig, Berlin, and other haunts of lux urious Americans who love art and want to avoid the Income Tax. Even Switzerland wilt not be considered a safe refuge for these; for France and Germany are on both sides, and the noble little republic, though it spunkily de clares itself neutral, may be made a scene of strife. At any rate, crossing its frontier, to come to America, may be a difficult matter. Italy is naturally too hot in summer for' pleasure-seekers, and Belgium and tiolland are likely to be made too hot by the war.- So there' is a sudden end put to ten or t wenty thousand plans for spending the surn nalr on the continent. Our rich friends and lelations are hurrying out of Germany and stvitzerland into France. Most of them will . hurry out of France, either to conic straight home, or go to England for a while and 'then come home. Because Paris is not very pleas ant in summer, and it is not 'fashionable to be there then. Besides,, the war will raise the price of everything in France, and the income : that would suffice for a summer In some quiet retreat 'in Gerthany or Switier PHILADELPHIA EVENING BULLETIN, MONDAY amy land, will 'not 'sliffiCel " for a sum - mer at the ' resorts that' are-, fashion= 'able' in Fiance, such as Vichy or Eaux Bortnes, iorßiarritz, or the different bathing places on the coasts ot Brittany and Normandy. Instead t'af going to these places, our luxurious absen tees will be driven home in midsummer, the advance guard- of them , _ appearing in the steamers that will be due in about a week. As this returning tide begins, the outward current. is checked. The German steamers at New York are forbidden to sail by the all-powerful authority of Lloyds. So a good many passen gers that might have gone in them have eon eluded to remain. But hundreds who had se cured their state-rooms and intended to . sail this month or next, in the English and French steamers, - . will forfeit their passage money rather than go over-at a time when the very ;regions they wanted to visit are being devas tated',, by war. ; Suppose that five . :thousand Americana come home, or, having intended •to go to *rope, stay'at • home, on account of the war.' At a moderate-estimate, a traveling Americailipends on the average about five ; hundred dollars a month—some much more and some much less. If the war. lasts a month, there will bea saving to this country, from: this source, of about two and a half Millions; if it lasts a year, of about. thirty millions. This is all very nice—for: the country at large, and it is a comfort.tO &111. any advantage from . such a' horrible thing ,as' war. But the rich Papas who have to come ' back to taxes, and the rid' mammas that haVe to forego possible dukes, barons- or • counts as - sons-in_ law, will consider the war rust :calamitous, .. The well-laid plans for 'Switzerland,thelthine and the Tyrol, this summer, and for Paris and Italy next fall and winter, are all destiOyed. The multitudinous miseries thus caused, - by Prim's nomination of Leopold, are incalculable. If Prim bad -- dreametrof aU this, he ~ would not tiaVe nominated Leopold. Perha if King William had dreamed of it, he would not have snubbed Benedetti. Perhaps if the_Spanish revolutionists had dreamed_of...it, • they'ould . not have driven Isabella. out -Of the thron'e; For Isabella being driven out, a King Was needed, and Prince Leopold was nominated. and France got angry at King William, and sent Count Benedetti to bUlly him, 'and King William would not be bullied and snubbed Count Benedetti, and Count Benedetti told his master, Napoleon, and Napoleon told the Legislative Body, and so there was war. Like the calamities of the House that Jack Built, all of which were traced to the House, the calami ties of this war are to be traced to Isabella; and among these the homeward stampede is considered the worst, by -American tourists. It is a. good sign, and one worth noting,-that the Sunday papers, yesterday, with one .excep- Lion, had nothing to say in defence of the Vol unteer Fire Department, whose rowdyism on the previous Sunday had beet so severely com mented on by the daily papers. Even the Dispatch, which has heretofore been its de voted champion, admits that the disturbances have caused a reaction in the mind •of the public towards the Volunteer system." .-it deprecates, however, censure of all the firemen on account of the conduct of the most of them. Of course, the firemen are not all rowdies but the rowdies among them are numerous enough to zreate such scenes as those of last Sunday week at any - nioment. - No laws, or ordinances, or rules can control such men, when they are , ent on a race or a fight. There are twenty times as many firemen in Philadelphia as are needed, now that steam,has superseded muscle in working . the engines. Five hundred dis ciplined men, paid for their service, like regu lar soldiers or policemen, would be quite enough for any emergency. tinder the volun teer system, the number of members to each company is unlimited, and a dozen rowdies, in a membership of one hundred, are capable of bringing disgrace on all. A large number of the respectable firemen know this and are willing that the volunteer system be abolished and a Paid Department. established. There ought to be no delay in taking the pre liminary steps at least. The Mayor ought to convene Councils at once, and Councils ought to appoint a committee to devise a plan, after studying the systems of other cities, and to be ready to report at the next reaular meeting after the summer vacation. If this were done, we might, in a few months, have such a Fire Brigade as would be not only a benefit but au honor to Philadelphia. Mr. J. E. Kingsley, of the Continental 110 tel, deserves more than a passing notice for the admirable manner in which he handled thi New York Seventh Regiment during its visit to Philadelphia, last week. 7 TO receive and ac commodate nearly six hundred men in a hote doing the large bUsiness of the Continental, and that without any serious inconvenience to the regular and permanent viiitors, is no small task. But Mr. Kingsley proved himself mas ter of the situation, and the incursion of the , "Seventh" found hiin ready, to give his guests a warm and cordial reception. The habit Of systematic • subordination which pervades every department of the Continental enabled Mr. Kingsley to march a full regiment into his house, each company moving to its own rooms, in regular and unbroken order, and every, officer and man finding ample pro visionlor his refreshment and comfort, with out confusion or delay. Mr. Kingsley's gene ralship on this occasion was the best feature of the visit of the Seventh Regiment. Cool, vigi lant and 4— Ubiquitous, . Mr. Kingsley gave his personal supervision to the prompt and perfect execution of all his admirable arrangements for the accommodation of his hundreds of tired and hungry and thirsty guests, and, we doubt if there is a hotel in the world where such arrangements could have been so smooti'fly, quietly and satisfactorily carried out.

By the American Press Association.] Our Commerce oats North German 3 WAsritturron, July 18. -- Mr. Gustav Schwab, managing member. of the North German steamship - line ' has arrived to consult with the authorities as to whether some step cannot be taken to prevent the interruption of commerce between this country and the North German ports. Mr. Schwab had an interview with Secretary Boutwell, among °theta, and endeavored to impress the ne cessity of urging upon the President the pro priety of calling au extra salsion of Congress, with a view to meet the emergency by some appropriate legislation. Mr. Schwab also had an interview with Baron Gerolt. the Prussian Minister, but what transpired has not leaked out. It is under stood, that the Baron haS succeeded in per suading Secretary Fish to send a despatch to Minister W ashburrie, instruct:tog the latter to ask the French Government to permit the Ger Man steamers parrying the united States mail to proceed on their voyages, free Iron attack, anti to stop at any ports not under ac tual .blockade. Secrcmry Fish has in fact sent a strong note of this kind to Minister \Vashburno, but it is . believed it will have little effect upon the Emperor. - There Is a movement to base sonic younger and more vigorous representative than Baron Gerolt sent to this country during the present crisis. Gerolt is regarded. as too slow and feeble for such an emergency as the present. It- is said that Secretary Fish' has also in structed Mr. Wasnburne to offerprotection to the Prussians in France, for they reason that many of our naturalized • citizens come from Prussia, and that tlie Pru.ssian.Government has no representative inParis.

Secretaries Fish and Boutwell had an inter view with the President last y elv.eniug, r aid all, agree.in the belief that there.willbe alreneral European war, and Secretary Boutwell is of the opinion it will soon be precipitated. The President is known to be averse to call ing'Corigress together, but said last evening that it looked quite. probable that contingen cies might soon arise that would necessitate him to do so.

The prisoners were tobacco manufacturers in New York, where they had fraudulently ob tained possession of goods ; to the amount of .1::,5,000, after which they effected a sale and disappeared. Of course they were at that time beyond the range of suspici,on, and it was not until they had got clear away that the forgery was detected.

OVAIITER t,' , 'Essioxs—Judge Paxson.—On Saturday, August Jl eyers pleaded guilty to a charge of petury growing out of tendering himself as bail and swearing in court 'that. be was not bail for any one else, whereas the fact was that on the previous day ho bad become bail for another party. In ex tenuation of his crime be stated to the court that Mr. George Rankin had told him that he could so swear without getting into,. trouble. Judge Paxson directed Mr.. Rankin to be brought into court. This morning George Rankin appeared in court, accompanied by Mr. William B. Rankin as counsel. Counsellor Rankin stated to the court that George Rankin had seen by the papers of Saturday and Sunday that somebody had entered a complaint against him, and that the Judge desired him to appear i'n court. He had accordingly come forward voluntarily, ready to enter bail, and 'request the'cotirt to fix an early day for the hearing. He further de sired to state that what was asserted on Satur day was untrue. • Judge Paxson fixed to-morrow at ten o'clock for a bearing, and named . $5.000 as the amount of the bail to be required. Mr. Vim. B. Rankin said they were ready to enter bail. Assistant District Attorney Hagert suggested that the rule of Court required forty-eight hours' notice of the offer of bail. • Mr. Rankin pretested against this and said that the case was one out of the mini course. Mr. Rankin had been accused of an offence by one who, by his plea, was guilty of per jury. He bad at once come forward to meet the accusation and was ready to present any amount of bail. Under such circumstances he did not think the 48 hour rule should be en forced. Judge Paxson directed the names of the parties offered for bail to be given to the Dis trict Attorney, and he might then waive the notice. Owing to the press of other business, there had been no disposal of the case when our re port closed. Cann& A Spanish Tragedy.: A shocking story is told by a Spanish cor respondent- of the 'London Stmidtird. On the outskirts of Castillo de Lis Guardian ; a village some eight leagues from Seville, stads a small unpreteiiding• farmhouse tenanted by a hitherto thriving :and 'industrious laboring man 'and his wife. They had not 'been mar ried very long, and a bahy,hadjust arrived, to chniplete their domestic happiness. Among the acquaintances of this youug couple Were a gifiv and his wife, With whom they were_ on triendly terms, the — gifisTheing employed as an agent , in the sliSpoSal sit the farm pro duce and in thepurchase, ar4 sale of animals, &c. On the birth of 'the child,' therefore, the gipsy, couple )wished to be hits ;:•sponsors, and the 4 request • was readily ~ranted.* PHI I E lii hYtE - ING RALEIN, MoNDAr,'J ULY 18,1870 The: haptisnial .. day hiving arrived,, the Nv,hole household, with the exception - of the mother and the gipsy. woman, who remained u attendance, proceeded to the church, a dis tance of two miles:. After everybody hadleft, and sufficient time bad been . given. for the party to get well out of hearing; the gipsy woman, armed with a pistol, approached the bedside of the invalid, and, threatening-her ith death in case of refusal, demanded of her all the money that was in the house. The poor woman, without a moment's hesitation, indicated - that all their small fortune was in a drawer in the • lower part of a . chest in art- adjoining room. 1%;io sooner bad the gypsy entered this room . to obtain the cars than.the.invalid ~}lumped. out of bed, ran to the door, secured the woman inside, and, s(,iizing her husband's trabueo, or blunderbusa, rushed outside the house tolhe widdovv by . which the•gypsy might escape, and, present ing the gun, threatened her with instant death if she moved, at the same time raising loud bries for help, which, unhappily; no one ap- Pears to bave heard. In the meanwhile the christening party*ere on their return. Meet ing two of the fluardia cieite mutual compli irtentopassed, and the soldiers were asked to come to the farmhouse and partake of the modest fiesta prepared for the occasion. This proposal and its ready acc'eptance must have somewhat disconcerted the gypsy man, for he now, proposed to run on before . to .see that everything was ready, and begged to be allowed to carry. the. child. On. reaching the house he immediately perceived that his design bad in some way iniscarried. Approaching the woman at the window, he desired her to let his wife go free, or otherwise: he, would kill her child.. Disbelieving the threat Bbff declined, and without another word the man whipped out his -knife . , and- with one blow nearly severed the little inrocent's head from its body, and tossed the uivering corpse upon its mother. Maddened 'by this horrible act; the woman-turnedlier gun upon-themari, -- and laid him dead at bar feet." The explosion and screams .brought the guardia.ei»de almost • instantaneously ta . the.bouse.-one- of whom rushing in and unlocking the, door, where the ti gipsy was conned, - Was at once shot through theleam by. thatwtiman.- The second guardia eirile hearing, this second : explosion hurriedly entered the house, and, seeing his comrade dead on the floor and the woman with the still tnolihcig pistol in her band; raised his carbine and killed. her where she stood. • - 2:16 O'Clook.

The Neil , York Money Marhei. {From the bow York Herald of to-day.) gimes v July 17.—The Wall street markets during the week have been almost entirely affected by the in fluences arising out of the war news from Europe. :Dem. innuendos were quite lost sight of. v It may he that gold will go higher, but so far It has - made little pregreee in comparison to the efforts and influences exerted for an advance. The danger of holding it lies in the uncertainty when the tide will turn and legitimate influences assert their power. Gold in rising is a sign that our national credit is depreciating.
