THIEPOWEBS THAT ARE TO BE The balance of power in Europe, the strug gle—to preserve which has caused so many wars, has'ceased to be considered of import ance in England. It is only alluded to on the Continent now when the Emperor Napoleon 111. seeks for a pretext to bully or make war upon another power. But Great Britain has, of late years, so scrupulously kept out of all the quarrels and wars on the Continent, that it is understood that she considers the idea of the balance of power as "-played out ;" at least she does net consider it worth fighting for. The war initaly, the -,war in Austria and the war in: Denmark, each and all disturbed the balance of power ; but England held aloof from each of them. She will hold aloof from the war just begun, unless she be dragged in by considerations wholly independent of the question of the balance of power. In the rather remarkable article which we copied on Monday from the London Times, that journal, speaking- for England, formally abandons the 4 ttraditionalEnropean policy," and adds : " Wetnayaay at once that we care very little about the balance of power, which withitithe last two or three years has signifi caidlY disappeared from the preamble to the mutiny' act." It then shows- how indifferent England has become as to whether any power possesses a few square miles more or less of territory, and then makes this remarkable con- States have come to maturity in the world which threaten to dwarf the -ordinary mem bers of the European system. anirthe United States. are the Powers which the nrxt generation will look upon as the most f(mmi tlable." The idea contained in the last 'sen tence has often been expressed in these col lining; even . 1 before _ the Pacific Rail 'road was begun, and . before our pos sessions on the Pacific, which bring us Into contiguity with Russia in Asia, had at tained to any great magnitude in wealth and population. But when we speak of the United States as a formidable power, it is not as an aggressive, conquering power, that wants to . grasp and, absorb, and - set up and fight for a theory called the balance of the world. But it Is -as- a formidable political, commercial and financial power; whose republican doctrines shall, by moral rather than by military force, " be made to pervade the world, extinguishing the petty, selfish, personal and dynastic ideas that have made Europe a theatre of war for ages, and that give us new acts in the horrid drama even in this latter half of the nineteenth century, which boasts of being, and is, the most advanced and enlightened period in the history of the world. It .is quite safe to say that the time is not far distant when Russia and the United States, if they harmonize in external policy and choose to act in concert, can dictate to all the rest of the world. The one nation is a dynastic des potism, and the other is a. free constitutio ta republic ; but each is progressive ; each has abolished the slavery that it inherited from a darker period, and a sympathy has thus been established between them. But, more impor tant than all, each has contended against the insolent dictation of the partnership of the " Western Powers," generally called the "Great Powers," of Europe. The Monroe doctrine was the indignant protest of the United States math, fifty years ago, against the designs of European governments to introduce and naturalize the balance of power doctrine on American soil. and the fate of Maximilian of Austria will for ever be a warning to such European schemers as may contemplate fresh interference with America. Russia has not yet had her opp-tr tunity of successfully resisting the insolent dic tation of the Western Powers. But she is growing in Europe and in Asia, while all the others are at a stand-still ; she is growing in freedom and in enlightenment, while France is brought to fresh servitude under the guise of a Plebiscite, and Germany is dragged into a war Which might have been avoided if the people had been the governing' power, rather than princes and politicians. Unless there are revolutions in Europe,which shall overthrow all thrones arid .dynasties, and make a great confederated republic of the Western Powers, which republic shall become the really Great Power of Europe, thehredic lion of the London journal will be realized - within a century, and Russia and the United States will dwarf the members of the European system. A candid observer, looking on from another planet, and judging without any in fluence from traditions, or from pompous show, or from statistics of great armies and fleets which look so big on paper, would be very apt to say that Russia and the United States already dwarfed the members of the European system. If these latter go on exhausting themselves with wars, increasing their debts and taxes and driving:their inhabitants to America, the dwarf= ing will, become visible to the eye of the American, and will be acknowledged by the conscience of the European, within a very few yOFs. _ TAKE OCEAN YACHT RACE & - The sporting world is in a fever of excite ment over the ocean- race-between the English "istchtertiablia and the American yacht Hamit ic-is. Yachts and steamers, in fleets, have been cruising off Sandy Hook, for days past, to re ceive the winning vessel, and a battery of tele soopes is posted along the New'Jersey shore, sWeeplag the horizon in feverish anxiety to catch the first signal of the conqueror. At the same time, there is about'the same significance in the contest between the Catkhria and the Daur.Vest that there would be between a sew ing-machine and a to kettle or between a steam' fireiengine and a Chickening piano. The relations of. the two competitors in this ocean race are scarcely more similar than these would be, owing; to the single fact that they are not contending'under the same conditions, or under circumstances that could possibly put them upon an equality or form any standard of comparison of their sailing and sea-going powers. The Cambria and the Dauntless both started from the same point arid are' both to , arrive at the mine point; but with these two facts the parallaseems to terminate, one taking the northward and the other the southward course. How widely they have diverged from a com mon course is not yet known, but it is evident that any' considerable difference of cefuse May place the yachts under such different condi tions of wind and weather as to deprive the contest of any significance. One may have a stiff breeze while the other is becalmed ; one may be lost in a fog, while the other is wing ing along under a eldar sky, and so on through all the caprices of Neptune which are so fa m ilfar to his Atlantic domains. , , , Meantime the "knowing ones" are becom ing more and more - acute in their prognostica tions. The inevitable "old sea-captain" has been trotted out with his prediction that the yachts are not due - 'yet; and will not be for several days to come. The "old sea-captain" thus sets at nought the wisdom of the fresh water Sgnadrons of New York,' and even casts contempt on Admiral Fisk, New York's highest antheritY . on subjects, who haS eotrunitted hiMself and - the Plymouth Rock-to the opinion that the expected racers were due last Sunday. It is not,at all improbable, after the yachting and sporting world has been thus turned upside down over this " great international contest," that the Cambria and Dauntless may come in upon light and baffling Winds, Or hobbling along with crippled spars and rigging, the vic tims of some of those thousand-and-one acci dentsto which-tile -best-regulated families are always . tliey have not made a keen, dashing, exciting race of it is already evi dent fronijlie tact that they have now been three weeksat sea, and, up to this present writing. notbine definite has been Beard of them. As true Americans we shall join in the "na tional " jubilation over the Dauntless, should she prove; victorious. We shall demonstrate, conclusively, that her victory proves the supe riority of American shipbuilding . and Ameri can seamanship, and that she has won the race under a combination of the most peculiar and unprecedented 'disadvantages. Should the Cambria win, however, we are prepared to show that the race really proves nothing. By a conclusive train of argunaent, • based upon a cumulation of nautical lore, w e Shall prOve that if the Cambria did not actually cheat, she at least availed her'self of some very unfair ad vantages. We shall intimate that on several dark nights she was taken in tow by a myste rious English steamer. We shall remind the public that she ,was built . precisely upon the most approved American lines, and was - manned by a crew who, if not wholly American ; have so many relatives in this country that they have insensibly im bibed all the dauntless energy and superior skill of the American people. 'There will be a harrowing detail to make up of all the disas ters that-betel-the Dauntless. - We-are-ready to hear that the relapsing fever broke out in her forecastle on the third day out, and that the Board of Health refused to have it white washed. Iler main top-gallant-mast-mizzen boom was unquestionably tampered with by a British spy who smuggled himself on board, just before sailing, disguised as a Chinese la borer. And last, but not least. the ill-fated yacht was hopelessly delayed, by taking as one of her crew an agent of the New York Asso ciated Press, a fact hich put out of the que tinn any chance of a high rate of speed. Thus prepared for whatever may he the re sult of the race, we calmly await its termina tion, determined that, under all circumstances, the ictory shall redound to the glorification of irrepressible America. THE NEUTRAL STATES. Fero minor States of Ettrope,whose territory borders on the the theatre of war, have pro claimed their neutrality. These are Switzer land, Holland, Belgium and Denmark. The declaration of the latter is the most important of all, for until it was made, yesterday, the French had counted on having Denmark as an ally, presuming that she would be glad to assist in any war for the humiliation of her despoiler,Prussia. It certainly would have been a great, advantage to France to have been able to land an army in Denmark and march on Schleswig or Hanover, which have lately become Prussian possessions. The right tO use the Danish ports for their fleets would also have been a good thing for France. The neu trality resolved on by Denmark puts an end to all such projects, and it must be very disap pointing to the Emperor. The work of England may be seen in this Danish proclama tion of neutrality. The feeling of the people and of King Christian was in favor of joining in the war. But the pressure from the British Government was strong, and the influence of the Prince and Princess of Wales was brought to bear in favor of neutrality, and 'with suc cess. France has been trying also to secure the co-operation of Italy in the war ou Prussia. As an inducement she is willing to withdraw her troops from Rome and let that seat of the church fall quietly into the bands of Victor Emmanuel. But neither he nor his people seems disposed 'to yield to the temptation, and assurances have been made by the Minis ters that Italy will remain neutral. It cer tainly would be strange if she should be disposed to go to war against Prussia, who has not only offered her no grievance, but which was her ally in her war 'against Austria. To 'be sure, Italy is under. obligations to _France, hut, these Ought to be considered can eelled by her cession of Savoy. BesideS, States that are wisely ruled, do not go into wars from a sentimental feeling of gratitude. France has thui far failed to secure any allies, and the war bids fair to be confined to her and the North German Confederation. Austria keeps aloof, and so will England, unless there is some overt act of the French Emperor, showing that, in his desire' to secure the Rhine frontier, he intends to seize`• Belgium. Any aggressive movement in that way would convert several of the now neutral States into ant) of Prussia. PHILADELPHIA EVENING li_ULLETIN,,WEDNESDAY - JULY 27,1870. AP.PRAIISPRIS! SAVIttES. , Congresi prised'. a'very good'hiw 'ittlbe last session, allowing goods brouilit Er'omturope to any port,. destinedlor. some:' 'other city, to be sent i to their place of destination for appraise ment and collection of duties. - The object of the law, which was strongly, recommended by the Philadelphia Board of Trade, was to avoid the frauds and the delays, of the New York Custom House, through which' most of the foreign goods,for Philadelphia 'and other cities have to come. To make the law .availablo for this city, increased space for receiving imported goods is needed, and there was an-expectation that the Appraisers' stores on the site: of the old P,ennsslvania Bank Would' finithed in time to accommodate the increased business. But 'it appears that, by some hocus pocus in the last holm?, ,of Congress, the ' appropriation of .:f'4596,000 for finishing the building was cut , down to $45,1-40, which is notenflicient, and we shall have to wait for another session of, Congress, With the chance that even then the money re qtfired will not be appropriated. 'The building of the Appraisers' stores has been ,delayed several years by the characteristic niggardly spirit that Congress shows towards, everything Philadelphian. And nowour merchants are to he deprived of the advantages of the new law concerning imported-goods by the- same - nig gardly spirit. While millions are voted at each session for government buildings in New York, Boston and other cities, we ca:nnotget paltry sum sufficient to finish a plain, inexpen sive building which is imperativelY required for the accommodation and, cmwerdence : of the trade of the city. Among the numerous peculiarities of the Volunteer Fire Department, we have fre quently referred to the cool disregard of the rights of private property displayed by the steam fire companies in their appropriation of whatever combUStible material falls within their reach during a fire. Building material, fe,nces, harrels, whatever. they,.ca.n • lay: their hands on, are seized and destroyed by these free-booting-firemen, and the idea of compen sation to the:owners of the destroyed property never enters their imaginations. A communi cation from one of the sufferers by this lawless practice in to-day's paper shows the extent to which this system of plunder is carried on. Two thousand feet of selected oak and other -im ber i -w-hichivad—heen—vleposited----ne-ar—the scene of last evening's conflagration, for build ing purposes, were seized, cut up ,and burned by a single tire-company.- -These depredations appear to have been borne by our citizens,- here tofore, as if they were an evil for which there was no redress, and - also, perhaps, from-fear of the threats which many members of the Vol unteer Fire Department. are - always Teady_to lavish on those who refuse to contribute money for their amusement, or who venture to hold them accountable for their wrong doings. But the practice should be broken up, and the firemen should be made to understand that they have no more right to take a citizen's private property, without compensation, to ptit under their boilers at a fire, than they would hate to put it under their private tea-kettles at, home. Either the Washington Engine Com ' pany or the city, under whose- system these destructions of private property occur, is directly resmnsible for the lumber destroyed last evening in Fifth street. The case stated by Air. Crump is a good one upon which to test the law, and we trust that it will not be allowed to pass without a judicial decision of its merits. It is now pretty generally conceded that the present ,pelt of weather is a warm one. Du ring the month of July the fact has been established by the following figures, taken from a rather moderately-disposed thermometer. In the twenty-seven days of the month the mercury has been eight times at or about 95 degrees, seventeen times at or above !Kt degrees, fire times at or above S 5 degrees, and once down as low as lis. degrees. The average highest point, thus far, has been a small fraction over PO degrees, and we proudly refer to the record as sliam'ing that Philadel phia is no more behind the most favored spot in the country, iu respect to weather, than in any other particular. Although the weather has been thus per sistently extravagant, there need be no appre hensions on the part of those who . have impru dently left the city, with regard to the rumors of suffering among those whom a wise necessity keeps at home. No one feels the heat in Philadelphia unless he fails to observe that infallible rule which cannot be neglected with impunity : " Keep cool l" Messrs.

Fora few months Mrs. Clarkinson occasion ally.heard from her husband; either directly coi• through some of the neighbors with the same.train with which her husband was go- IDg.. _,Then there was a long interval during whieli. no word came. After a time there were rumors that the train had been attacked by Indians and every One. killed. This was at' last too truthfully verified by one poor fellow, who was found by another party a, few days after - with just life enough left to tell how the train had been attacked one dark night, and • before any could recover from the surprise all. were killed and scalped, and the Indians- rode triumphantly away with their booty. For three years Mrs. Clarkinson mourned for her dead husband. After the lapse of that time she married again, and moved to Wood county. For nearly twelve years she was as - happy as - a kind - and affectionate husband and two beautiful children could make woman. At the end. of than time (which carries us up to - the 3st, taut.), affliction again cast its mantle over her. Death claimed her husband, and again she was a sorrowing, weeping widow. Sue follows weeping to the grave.; she hears the sad, solemn words.: " Dust to dust and ashes to ashes ;" the earth falls Veitlya dull, dreary thud upon - the coffin, as the sexton slowly covers up all that remains of him whose spirit has gone before to the other world. The widow raises the black veil and looks around. As she does so she meets a pair of eyes fixed intently upon her. She starts—rne mory rushes back fifteen years and brings up the picture of her first husband. There can be no mistake—'tis he ! The recognition is mu- • tual. There is a scene; the widow and wife faints; the bronzed stranger explains his rela tion to the woman, and all repair to the house of her who ten minutes ago was a widow, but now again is a wife. Then Mr. William Clark inson tells -low. ile!.lNati , not killed- tiy. the In dians at the time of that sudden onslaught on the plains, but was taken prisoner by the Blackfeet, and carried far away =wig the mountain fastnesses, and during all those long years had been forced to slave far his cruel captors.

He grew rich, and longed to again visit the home of his youth arid happiness. .He had got off the cars at Pittsburgh anti taken Ale _stage to__Bowling Green : had hired a buggythere and was driv ing to his old home when he overtook the funeral ; a strange impulse induced him to fol low; the widow's person seemed strangely fa miliar. and when she drew aside her veil he recognized her as the wife lie had bidden adieu To-fifteen -years rbefore, and- whom. he- had thought to be dead. They now live happily together. CITY BULLETIN. A- SMALL -BustyaT,ss.,-The cars on Race street were blocked this: morning by the ruins of the Pennsylvania Sugar .Refinery. Pass engers were disembarked at Fifth street and were given tickets which they were told would take them on the Arch street cars to Second street. Upon entering these cars the tickets were not recognized, and the - holders were given the otter ofpaying full fare--or- walking to Second street. As-both lines belong to the same company, this operation may be set down as' a very - petty swindle: - .

EDNES DA July 27.—1 N [Mlle ltd matters continu e a very unsettled condition owing to the impending war between France anff,Prussia, and the rumors of a secret treaty which, if proved authentic, cannot fail to involve all Europe in the strife. Gold is stronger and Govern ment bonds weaker, both here and in foreign markets, whilst the uncertainty existing as to the probable ex tent of the war restricts trade and keeps all kinds of speculation in cheek. Money is in ample supply, but the surplus narrowed down, and the banks really have very little to spare af ter supplying their friends with all they need, Rates are film nt ba6 per cent. on call, and commercial paper of short date is In demand at 6aB per cent. Gold is still active and unsettled, owing to further threatened ,complications in European affairs. The fluctuations aro rapid anti wide. The sales opened at 121%, advanced to 122, and declined again to 1213 g. Government bonds are only moderately active, inves torsholding off for news of the impending battle. A portion of the list, however, shows a slight advance in prices as compared with last night's sales. But it must be borne in mind that they suffered a material decline yesterday. Stocks are completely demoralized and there is really no market worth reporting. Reading Railroad was ex ceedingly dull, but prices were rather stranger.
