WAR IN EtitOPE THE EXCITEMENT IN NEW YORK. POSITION OF THE BELLIGERENTS PIER YORK. [ From the World.J There is no diminution in the intensity of the feeling in this city in view of the mornen tous events in progress on the other side of the Atlantic. All New York, and especially. all the foreign element among its citizens, was on the tiptoe of expectation yesterday,auxious to catch. the faintest whisper of intelligence from the seat of war, and looking momentarily for the announcement that the first blow had been struck by one or the ,other of the im posing forces now massed on the banks of the Rhine. A SuggestiVe and amtising . WA. Which is prominently . noticeable. upon Aim occasion of every such crisis as that which now attracts the world's attention Ls, that just as great emergencies call . forth great leaders, so- do those same emergencies call forth.from their iwevious and becoming ob scurity great talkers, who develop with- stir : prising rapidity into . pompous and: Self-mial. cient debaters upon grave themes of states— manship and warfare with a glibness and a grace truly surprising in view of their recent fledging. ' So, yesterday, throughout the city there were found in bar-rooms and in gardens, on the street and on :the hdrtise=top, incipient diplomats and embryo warriors &B ente-lag With preternatural gravity and most =wag technicality, the gravest issues of the war, and rapidly-settling with a word, and to their own satisfaction, at least, the profound e-.t questions of international law and comity, of strategic movements and combinations, of historical parallels and probable results. The war was followed with prophetic eye through all its details to its conclusion, and each little orator brought his war to a result that emi nently satisfied himself and listeners.- The newspaper offices were thronged all day by peas i:s anxious to learn, the latest tidings by cable, and as the bulletins were dis played- containing, news 'tlit3y were quickly surrounded and the news eagerly read,and in many 11110.% nxrttpclic dismissed. Among the Germans and French the excitement is in tense, and the interest felt •-xtends also to the Americans, particularly among those having business and other connections abroad. The German - fitenmern and the tutted ==! The agents Orthe Hatnifurg steamer Silesia have decided to despatch her to-day, and she will sail at 2 P. M. from her dock at Hoboken, with - a full complement of passengers, callieg at some point in either Ireland or England. The French steamer will atso sail on her re gidar day. - - Postmaster Jones received a telegram from Postmaster-General Creswell. instructing him to send the German mails by the Cunard line, and giving hiiminstritetions in regard to their harmonious passage across the Channel to their destination. All mails. until further notice, will be taken in the same manner. Two vessels, the Frederick Schuyler, load ing for Prussia, and the Atlanta, loading for one-. of the- - -Itiortif - Gerniiint fecerVed orders at Hunter's Point; Iyhere they Were taking in a cargo of oil, to have the oil re _movetl—as they -would-not-sail -omaceount of the war. V , terday was "red hot," not only with the heat of the sun, but With excitement. The street was full of rumors all day, but the more exciting were in the morning when it was re ' ported that Russia had taken sides with Prussia in this contest, and, almost in the same breath, came a despatch that there had been a battle in France between the French and Prussians in which the latter were de feated; also, that the French fleet vas moving up the Rhine. This news had its effect. and everybody was worked up to boiling heat, and became as excited as if they had just seen the mercury stand at 110 in the shade. Forel:: lE.:change A visit to the shipping offices down town revealed the fact that consequent upon the war there was no market for continental ex change. Shippers could not draw against the bills of lading, because their correspondents on the other side were supposed to be in want of all the money they had to sustain them selves, and were in no condition to pay even just debts promptly. From the fact that no goods were being sent over to the ports of countries now at war, there was nothing to draw against. Besides this, parties who had friends on the other side would be expected to sustain them by remittances, rather than cripple them by drawing exchange upon them All these things combined made the market for exchange on Continental Ports flat and un profitable. TIM Gold Excitement in Wall Street. (From the Herald. I The Gold Room was yesterday the scene of an excitement only surpassed in the days of our late war and during the culmination of the famous gold corner of last September. The apartment was wedged tight with the brokers, who, in the midst of the sweltering heat, frantically bid gold up to 123 on the re port which came second-handed from London that Russia had joined Prussia in hostility to France. The immediate cause of the advance was the fear that this alliance would stimitlate a further decline of our securities in the foreign market.. While there IS do Übe that. n tfie derangement of European finances which will follow the war our bonds will be the best in vestment for foreign capital, and that a reac tion will certainly ensue in their favor, the market is rendered extremely sensitive by some of the speculative foreign bankers, who bought gold and sold our bonds at the first sign of war last week. They purposely exaggerate the situation . abroad as against our securities, in hopes of buying back large quantities of bonds which they sold on speculation and also to enhance their profit on the gold which they bought so profusely on the outbreak of hostilities. War in Europe means a profitable market for everything we can ship there. When we have overcome the first and very natural depression in our securities abroad, arising out of the shifting of capital in such a crisis, , we shall be the creditor country, with Europe, and require Settlenient of the balance of trade by shipments of gold this way. POSITIONS OF THE BELLIGERENT ARMIES. The cable despatches report some of the po sitions occupied by the opposing forces. Of the places mentioned the most important - at the present moment is'- Saar Loafs, which the Freneh are reported to be -,bom -barding.The. town is much - smaller than Saarbruck, having less than five-thousand-in habitants. It is, however - of far more portance as a strategic position, threatening as it does the flank of any army moving upon Treves or upon Neunkirchen. It is situated on the left bank of the Saar, and is essentially a French place. Founded by Louis XIV., it was strongly fortified by Vauban, and re maimed in possession of France till 1815,when, with, a groat deal of other territory, the al- lies transferred it to Prussia. Here. Mar braveSt—cif—thembraVe---,"----waS 'born. Saar,Louis is strongly fortified, but:can, be commanded by artillery and is not impreg nable to - assault. - Nevertheless, it is very strong ' and If well defended may delay the Freneh army some-days. -It lies t ity miles south-southeast of Treves, an i n miles west-northwest of Saarbruck Fom Metz the distance is about thirty miles,and from the French frontier about five. Saar Louis is ap proached from France-by three yoads, two of whiidi meet near the frontier on the Prussian Side. OLIO of these IS directly from Metz and the other from Thionville.The third road is from St Avoid, on the Metz and Manheim Railroad. On the German side Saar Loins_is cortL . ceded by roads, with Treves, of which it is really an outpost, with Mayence and Man heim. Unless cut off by a French force moving upon Saarburg from Thionville, the Prussians. if beaten, can fall back upon Trees. Should they be cut off they, have an easy retreat to. the village of Lebach, and from thence to al most any direction in Prumia - or Bavaria. At Saar LOnis there is an arms nianufactory,and several lend and iron mines in the vicinity, the working of which forms - the chief occupa tion of the inhabitants. Saarbruek. which the Prussian forces are said to occupy, is a town situated in the department of Trier, or Tre yes, on, the left bank of the river Saar, and -about foty ,miles south=southeaSt of the pi ty of Treves,- and some three-miles , from -the : Frenehhorder. It is Connected With Metz, , St.. Avoid and Forbach, in Trance; by the railroad running from Metz to Manheim, and is some seven miles west-northwest of For bad', where a fight is reported to have taken place.l Saarbruck IS alsb.thirteen miles south east of Saar Louis; and if it be true that the French are bombarding that - place the Prus sians - cannot well . maintain their ma/- flop in the first named town. Saar- brick is connected/ with the right bank Of the Saar-- by a stone bridge. ' It has a population_ of about 9,000, engaged.. princi pally in the manufacture of woolen cloths and in mining, there being extensive mines of iron and coal in the vicinity. The town was founded in the tenth century and was given to tilf Church of Metz by the Emperor Henry 111. It was afterwards gOverned bv Counts tin 18:0, when it was attached to the duchy of Nassau. At one time strongly. fortified, it became an object of attack on the part of the French, and was repeatedly taken and re taken. In 1676 its fortifications were disman tled. During the wars of Napoleon it suffered severely, and was annexed to the empire. By_ the treaty of Paris of 1815 the. place was & - wded to Prussia. by whom it has since been held.

The Baltimore American of last evening stirs : ilDonnell's wharf, at the foot of Frederick street, was the scene of a terrible explosion this morning. A holler, iu the large sugar re 'libery of Mr. F. ti;; Brnne, whiCh fronts on t'Donnell's wharf, and extends back to Long Dock, was blown to pieces about 91- o'clock, ompletely demolishing the rear building and -trewing the wharf with-the fragments. Twu men were seriously injured and three slightly wounded. In order to give a fair understanding of the accident a description of the building is neces ary. The main building is about two hundred feet in length and live stories high. In the rear of this building and attached to it is the boiler-house, a two-story building fronting on Long Dock. In the south end of this build ing the explosion occurred. There were eight large boilers close to each other. The one next to the wall WAS defective, and the ii-ater had been taken out of it preparatory to having it repaired. The engineer, either not being advised of the condition of the boiler or through mistake, turned on the water, and the explosion was the result. The twastory boiler house is a complete wreck. The roof was lifted into the air, taking the interior of the upper story with it, the walls were shattered, and within was a pile of debris in which bricks, pieces of iron, charred timbers and broken machinery were indiscriminately mixed. Persons who were standing near say that the explosion was like the report of a cannon, and was followed by a crash that shook the whole wharf. Following the first explosion there was a terrible apprehension that the other boilers would explode, and not many were bold enough to venture into ' the boiler room. Officer Reiley, l of the Middle District, ran into the building, opened the doors of the furnaces and raked out the fires. In perform ing this gallant act his hands were severely burned. The fire alarm was given, and in a few min utes the firemen were on hand. Ropes were drawn across Dugan's alley to keep back the crowd, and soon a lively stream was playing on the smoking ruins. The firemen then be gan to clear away the wreck, and to drag out the burning timbers. - A great crowd had ga thered nn the wharves; and when the firemen _began to probe their hooki . into the ruins an impression gained ground that they were lOoking for - the remains of the . victims` of the the accident. There were repeated assurances from the police and others that nobody had been killed, but the bystanders did not credit the statement. , , Thomas Hays, gone of the firemen, was in the act of leaving the, boiler-room when the explosion occurred. He was struck with the flying fragments and deluged with a flood of steam; but not fatally injured. He was picked up intlier-alleyarid-clirrieltitit-011ielitijoining tobacco warehouse. He says that_the two other'firemen were in the room, but that lie mite them both after the explosion. If be is, cor rect in hit' 3 recollection, it is probable that they TUESDAY, JULY 19,1870. - . - - James Nolan, a hand employed on the schooner Four Sisters, lying at the Long Dock, was standing on the wharf opposite the.engine room, and was knocked into the water by a flying missile. lie was assisted out of the water by a young man, arid taken to the schooner, when it was ascertained that be had been struck on the knee and slightly . wounded. A poor woman, who was picking up stray .pieces of coal along the- street,-was- struck ou the bead by a brick,- but she was able to walk away, and it is supposedthatshe was not much hurt. Idr..Sanniel Day, wood-dealer, had a very narrow escape. About two minutes before the explosion he was seated in a chair on the shady side of Dugan's alley, but had deft it and stepped into his office. The chair was broken to pieces by the falling bricks.— • - - Tere are two or three of the workmen at the Sugar Refinery whose names it was impos sible to ascertain. At the office everything was in confusion, and the clerks declined giving the reporters any information. A fragmOLt of the boiler five feet long was blown across the street through the door of the cotton warehouse (lately Tobacco Warehouse, No. 2,) now leased by the Baltimore Ware house Company, and deposited among the cotton bales in the lower story. It carried some burning embers—with-it, and in an in stantthe cotton, was on lire. The employes, assisted. by the ; -firemen, • rolled the smOking bales into the street, and where they were treated to enough of water to saturate them thoroughly. .About forty bales were injured, some of them entirely destroyed. About a quarter after eleven o'clock in the morning smoke - was observed issuing from the roof of the north part of the three-story build ing belonging to theState,immediately south of the refinery, formerly used as a portion of Tobacco Warehouse No.l, but now occupied for the storage of cotton in bales. At, first there was but a small. quantity of smoke-issu ing, but in the course of a few moments it greatly increased , 'in -- volume, and rolled densely out of the garret windows, accompa nied with flames, w - hich soon after enveloped the upper portion of the building.. A_general alarm was sounded; and the entire Fire De partrnent of the city was soon in active ser vice. After several hours' labor, the firemen succeeded in subduing the flanies, which threatened the destruction of - the - south - wing .of the buntline , :used for. the storage of to, . bacco. • - A letter from Newport says : _ Count d'Herisson—has concluded= -to -re main through — the season and. has .taken rooms i'vith.Perrier, the French consul..

Lander's band discourses ex cellent music at the Ocean House, and it is very lively in that vicinity evenings. Few persons realize the expense of good music at a hotel. Three thousand tNllars will hardly cover it for two months. The display exceeds anything seen here for years at the hour of driving. The new road is dusty, andthe riding is confined to the ave nue proper. The sight from the Ocean House piazza is one such as is rarely witnessed. The finest horses in the country are here, and there is a disposition evinced to make as much show as possible.

Monsieur Catacazy is rather a remarkable looking man,. yet scarcely to be considered handsome. Short, and somewhat stout, his head is a rounded termination to his spine,and resembles a bullet,or would,but for the promi nent pugnacious ears, that at . once put an - end to the idea of fixed ammunition. Monsieur Catacazy is a Greek by birth, a Yankee in little shrewdness, and a diplomats_ by profes sion. ' This, vo erceive, makes a composi tion that .onish no one to see my Gat acazy slip up at ,a time. He is shrewd, 149 absurd letters and Speeches . ' to the contrary, notwithstanding. Some years since he was attached to the le gation here as ope, of its secretaries. During the Crimean War ho was employed in the Foreign Office at St. Petersburg, and is said to have ingratiated himself in the confidence of the present Russian Secretary of - Foreign Affairs in a variety of ways. • The salary of the Russian Minister here is twenty-five thousand dollars a year, in gold, together—with - allowance for table money. Catacazy spends - Wall Wlthourdotibt,as he lives in good style and driveS a trandsomeequipage,. while Medathe Catacazy is said to be the most elegantly dressed lady in Washington. Like all - Russians, he has'a passion for gaming, and rumor says that the private roulette table is rather conspicuous;.of the truth, or falsity, of this last bit of gossip Ido not hold myself responsible, as'my associates are not of the sort to enable me to solve the doubt. Letter writers of last winter have made yon acquainted with this name. I doubt, how ever, whether they have made you acquainted with the lady. She has been lauded for her outh and beauty. Bach descriptions would not enable you to identify her in a reception, or at a ball or concert, Truth comvels me - to say that the Madame is- not young, and as for beauty that is a matter of taste, and each one must be left to judge foil himself: But it is a part of the intense snobbery that makes this little diplomatic corps omnipotent and insolent in Washington, to go wild over everything, connected with its_ absurd exist- _ ence, and now it is our chorus to - sing the - praises of-this-lady, and - these socialparasites that go to make up fashionable- life in Wash ington fairly break their worthless necks in a struggle for presentation to the Catacazys, all the time well aware that atno Court in Europe could Monsieur Catacazy take the social post _tion that he holets here. THE COURTS. Professloual Ball. QUARTER SgssioNsL--Judge Paxson.—ln ac cordance.with the notice of yesterday., a hear, ing was held this morning in the case of Geo.

Cross-examined—l am a shoemaker and work at my trade; never went bail before until I came down to this crowd ; I did go bail some six or seven times before; the first time I went bail was about two months ago, before Alderman Kerr, in an assault and bat tery case. The witness gave the several occa sions he was pail, and added: The first time I went bail, Sam. Wall asked' me to go the bail, and got SlO for it ; the second time the man himself asked me to go hail; didn't get anything for going the bail ; the third time Mr. Noyes got me to go bail, and got $5 for that ; he put it in my pocket ; that was to pay me for my trouble ; . my property is worth to me about $l,BOO or $1,900 it is on Philip street, between Dauphin and Susquehanna; when I went bail here it was for Peter Nor ney ; G eo.

Rankin showed her to me; Mr. Cambel le was with her; George Ran kin did not tell me she was a poor woman with four children, and wanted to get her husband out, but he did say she would pay $25, as she was poor, but he wanted his share ; before I came up to go bail I saw George Rankin, and told him I didn't like to go bail again, but Rankin said that made no matter, and if they asked me if I was hail before I need not say anything; I knew Rankin-when -I was going bail before ;. he had asked me to go bail for a whisky distillery; when I was first arrested I told Mr. Sharkie that Rankin got me into this trouble. At the close of the testimony Mr. Hagert asked the. Court to bold Mr. Rankin to bail to answer the charge of subornation of perjury, and for obstructing the course of public jus tice. After an argument from Mr.Wai.'B.Ranltin in opposition to the binding over, the Judge held the defendant in 83,0(N) to answer the charge of subornation of perjury. —There is a French librarian near Berkeley square, London, who has taken the trouble, for the sake of his female subscribers, to mark in his catalogue with an asterisk all those novels which a mamma may allow her daugh ter to read. —An eccentric man in Scotland lately died, and his will NV{I.B broken on the ground of in sanity,the decisive bit of evidence lying in the fact that he used to throw open his window every Sunday morning and play the fiddle while the people passed to church.
