BY THE CABLE New York, Aug. 5.—A special despatch to tbe Herald, dated London, Augast 3, says: Martial Jaw has been prociaimed in Lower Austria, Venice, Prassia, and Wurtembarg. The peace conference is to jbe held at Prague. The preliminaries therto as agreed upou are as follows: Austria is to withdraw from the Ger- man Confederation and is to lose Venetia and ber part of Schleswig and Holstein. Austria is also to pay ten million dollars to her adver- saries as the expenses ofthe war. The Ger- wan States north of the Main are to form a union under the guidance of Prussia. The Italian patriot, Farmi Mazzini,isdead. In the Goodwood races the Goodwood stakes wi won by Special, and the Goodwood stakes were won by Special. and the Goodwood cup by Duke. "Lon pon, Aug. 4.—The bill fora renewal of the suspension of the writ of habeas corpus in Ireland was read asecond time in the House 0! Commons last night. Mr. Gladstone, in a speech supported the (sovernment, and warmly Syewy the treatment accorded to the Fenians by the Amercan (jovernment. Mr, Magaw’s resolution against the bill were ne- gataved by a vote of 105 against 31. The French Ambassador to Engtand left for Vichy Iast might, by command, to see the Emperor. Ad- vices trom the seat of war state that the Prus:ian troops haye entered Mannhelin and Heidelburg. BY STEAMER MORAVIAN. The Hungarian legion, formed of prisoners of war, had been sentto Sonthern Silesia to invade Hn on the expiration of the ar- mistice. It consists of 9.000 men, with cavalry and artillery ofits own,under General Ktapka. An engagement has taken place before Pres- burg, which was a great success for the Pras- sians. At noon @ Prussian brigade was in the Austrian rear, and the principal attack was in Pp when tne fighting was broken off by the arrival of mtelligence of the armistice. The Austrians, in order to reach Presburg, had to puss the Prussian brigade in their rear. On the 234 ultimo the Italians under General Medici bad a fight near Borjas with the Aus- trians. The Ltalians took the village by as- sault and pur<ued the enemy to Lovica; resis- Italians tance being again offered bere, the carried the town by assault. The Austrian losses were heavy. The Prussian Chamber would probably be opened by the Minister of finance, the King and Bismark being detained at the headquarters of the army. It was denied that General Monteufel had threatened to bombard Frankfort if the contribution de- Mand was not paid. It was rnmored that the Grand Duke of Oldenburg and Saxe Coburg will receive an increase of territory under the proposed new German Confederation. Cardinal Antonelli was again reported sick, andit was believed he would shortly retire from public attairs. Tne CriLian War.—If the last news feom Havana can be believed, the Chillian war is soon to be revived. A fleet is to sail at once from Cuba to reinforce such vessels of Ad- miral Nunez’s squadron, «t Rio de Janeiro and Montevideo, as may be fit to resume duty. The vessels to reinforce the squadron, and now in Cuban ports, are one iron-clad and four steam frigates, carrying one hundred and ninety- four suns and abont three thousand men, whieh—when added to that squadron will make «a most formidable fivet. Besides these, ‘onr transports are to sail from Cadiz with from ten thousand to twelve thonsaad Spanish troops, who are to take possession of the Chincha Islands. These additional forces will be in the Pacific by the time the new campaign opens in October. Chili and Peru are pow in the midst of the winter of the seuthern hemisphere. Spain wilt have two iron-clads and Peru twoin the war which may soon recommence. A SHOEMAKERS’ STRIKE Stccessevt.—The “strike” of the shopmakers against the pro- posed reduction of their empioyers of fifteen per cent. appears to have terminated in thesue- cess for the workmen. A cormmittes this morn- ing waited upon two of the leading houses, and were assured that the old prices would be paid them, the men to commence their work on Friday next. It wasalso intimated to the commuttee tbat ail the other estabiishments were also rendy to accede, and official notifi- cation s of such actions are expected to be re- ceived this afterncon. The strike has lasted over three weeks, and the men holding out with such unbroken unanimity, and it being an im- possibility to obtain good workmen from other cities, is the probable explanation of the result. Newark (N. J.) Advertiser. A New PILLow.—ANn especial good office has been rendered the sick by tne Crown Princess of Prussia (Queen Victoria’s eldest daughter) suggesting 4 pew kind of pillow to lay the wounded upon. Very small bits of paper, torn s0 as to ea uheyen sides, are pat into a linen case, and this again into a covering «fthinleather. This simple and inexpensive invention, which is said to be cooler than an ordinary pillow , has employed thousands of litte bands in Prussian schools and families, enormous patience being seqoired. vo tear up enough of these tiny sh: to make one cushion. CuOLERA PREVENTATIVE.--In many parts of Europe, says a continental traveller, during the prevalence of cholera the inhabi- lants wear & small bag filled with camphor next to the skin. The bag-eontains about one ounce of the gum,and is renewed once a week. From my —— observation.says the writer, Ican testify that the mortality among those who adopted the above practice was extremely small in comparison to the number of deaths among those who used no precautions to save themeel ves.

The New Orieans Times of July 31 gives fall particnjars of the riot in that city, beginning With the following account of TRE ORGANIZATION OF THE CONVENTION. it protem. Howell took the chair in the Convention at the Mechanics’ Institute, at 12.10 o'clock, after whic! prayer was delrv- ered by Rey. Mr. Horton. As there was no uerom seen (& quorum is seventy-six,) R. Siac Cc moved to send out the it. at-Arms forabsent members. A recess of one Bour was then taken. TRE REGRO PROCESSION. At this moment the mass of colored men who were outside the bar were admitted to ‘be in- side of the chamber. Simultaneously with the adoption of the motion to take a recess, a band beading ¢we understand) a procession of ne- gToes, came up ee from Canal street, and was received by the black crowd outside With the wildest and most excited cheering. The excitement was communicated to those ae: inside the and the cheers from the street were responded to. In a mo- ment afterwards the band marched into the representative hall where the con vention mem- bers met, and it was stated a difficulty had oc- curred on Canal street. THE RIOT BEGUN. While this even: was being discussed, a tu- Multuous shout arose from the street, and Tushing to the windows on the Canal street side of the building, we saw about a dozen negroes standing at a brick pile, throwing these Missiles in the direction of Canal street, while two (apparently Jeaders) were firing revolvers. Other shots were being fired from the front of Mechanics’ Institute, but the crowd here was out of range of our visiop. In ray, ami- nute and a half the negroes fell back, and the police and citizens came in sight, having up to thistime been hidden from view by a new building that is going up next the hall. A rush Was made up the assembly room by both colored and white men from the street, and asking what had occurred, we were answered by colored men as follows: A light colored Mulatto was standing in front of the hall, ha- Tapguing a party of mixed colors. He called the police rebel —— of ——,, and said any black who permitted himself to be arrested by them Was a coward. After continuing im thisstrain for some time, @ policeman, who had been be- bind him all the while unobserved. arrested him for attempting to incite a disturbance of the peace. He resisted, and at this moment a boy (of about twelve years) began swearing at the negroes. The boy was knecked down, and asthe policeman endeavored to run away he Was struck with abrick. Almost simuitane- ously the policeman turned and fired. and a black man fired at him from across the street, — shooting then became rapid from each side. While listen ng to this statement there had been alull. Dr. Dostie encouraged the party by repeating a remark he had previously made, viz: “There is nota negroin New Orleans who is not orgapized and prepared.” This was re- ceived with marked satisfaction. The next evidence of fighting that we saw came from the yard ofa colored washerwoman, next the Insurnte, toward Canal street. This old wo- ™Msb was, apparently, exorting a number of Diack men to go in the street and fight, but as they refused, she locked the gate and put the key in Ber pocket. This seemed to give the men confidence, for they seized bricks from a pile iying in the yard and threw them in the direction of the police, who were again concealed from our view. A rush was then again made from in front of the hall, and the firing from both sides became Tapid. The negroes, as @ body soon again fell back, but two or three, with revolvers, stood their ground. Finally, one black man fell, apparently dead, on the banguette, nearly op- posite the halt, and in sight trom the window where we stood. Mr. Catler was asked what he thought of that, meaning the body. He replied: “That fixes us, and ends the power of the d—d rebels,” or words to that effect. None apparently, at this time, anticipated an attack upon the hall, and the crowd any- thing but a serious air. Finally shots were fired frem the doorways down stairs. (and it is also said from the upper windows) and the police and citizens turned the attack upon the building. Several wounded were brought up to the main hall, the name of only one of whom we jearned; Adoiphe Barbarin. shot through the shoulder. Several bricks then broke the windows, and persons inside began to draw their weapons. These were both white and black persons, but how many we cannot say, fs the excitement inside began to grow intense. Mr. John Henderson thonght the best plan would be to rush out en masse, and all who were not armed procure arms and revarn to “fight itont.” Both Messrs. Cutler and Dostie were at this time upon the platform, ordering the doors to be shut and fastened. This was done: but we could not gather what else the said for the confusion, which had now becom intense. Bullets and bricks now rained through the hall, anda few were returned: bat as the windows opened to the floor, Jittle protection could be had from behind which to shoot. The main crowd gathered in the center of the room, but we are nnable to give a description of the tearful. exciting scene. It was little less than & miracle that we escaped unburt, as we fell into the bands of the exasperated crowd upon the stairs; but our note-book and peneil, and the elub of a friendly policeman, who recog- nized us, turned aside the pee that were pressing unhealthily against head and breast. We got away, and what followed no pen can tell. The blood-splashed walls, the masses of clotied gore, the wrecked furniture, and other evidences of mob passions, tell a fearful story, which is sickening now to think of. THE RIOT IN THE STREET.
