s oes THURSDAY, AUG. 25—-%<A. M. THE FRENCH CAMP AT CHALONS, BAZAINE’S MARCH IN RETREAT. MacMahon’s Movement for Junction. BELGIAN NEUTRALITY. The First Naval Battle of the War. LONDON, August 2—Night. A special correspondent {rom Rheims Monday ay oy camp is so completely deserted that nob a straggler 1s to be seen. We found them again en the road to Rheims, which was crowded with troops of every arm. AS we ap- proachea the city we saw the French army encamped parallel to the road from St. Mepehould, and separated from it by the Noir Vesie. They are eamped on the nght bank of Vesle, looking down the stream. I will not pretend to say what this unexpecied movement meant, but It Jooks as if part at least of Bazaine’s forces had escaped from Metz and are expected w join ‘the Chalons army at or.near, Rheims. There is a yumor that Bazine is passing through Grandpre and Vouziers. What makes it look probable is the strong force of tight cavalry here—two bri- gades of Chasseurs and Hussars. They are probably ‘the advance guards. Bince 1 began this letter news bas peen received at the prefecture that Bazaine, Withapart of his army, 1s, in fact, retreating by Nouziers, very hard’ pressed by the Prussians. He was obliged to abandon his retreat on Verdun, the road to ‘Which was completely in possession of the Prussians pd that Is why all the prisoners and munitions were@ent back from Verdun to Reims. W any force has succeeded in reaching Vouziers, or _% on the road thither, it must have escaped from Metz on the northwest, or 1s perhaps that column which we believe had got past Gravelotte before the Prussians seized that road on the 18th; bat no word has come direct from Bazaine for two days, and my Jeliel is that be ts cut off; at any rate his nearest Ime of retreat was closed, and if he has been driven off into Ordeunes, there is no telling | ‘when the expected Junction of lus torces with those of MacMahon can be accomplished, aud if they join who is to command, for neither will serve under the ower? Discontent is spreading fast among the trepps, and even among the officers, who are discouraged by the failure of Bazaine thus far to unite with MacMahon, This letter, although written two days &go and arriving this morning by post, supplics ater news of the position of the French forces than as been allowed to come by telegrapn. It Jend@s an air of probability to the extraordinary story that Bazaine had made bis escape with part of Iie forces from Metz, cutt:ng through the extended Innes of the Prussiaus—a story of which there is, as yet, no word of confirmation from the Prussian aide. | French telegrams, both dated yesterday morning and evening, and received in London simul- taneonsly this morning, place MacMahon first ms and then at Kheims. The lat- ter i true, as the above letter shows. 3 have the highest authority for contradict- ing ibe statement of the French that the Prussians had sought permission from the French to transport their wounded to and through Luxembourg. The French insist on this as an implied admission of defeat. What happened was this:—The Prussian government applied to know whether tney ‘woud oonsider the transport of wounded men through Luxembourg a violation of iy jeutrality. The English government asked the meh authorities whether they objected. The French replied “Yes, because it opens Prussian rail- ‘Ways to the unrestricted transmission of troops and supplies.” Prussia rejoius, ‘Three-fifths of the ‘wounded we want to send are French. Lf you ob- Ject we musi atiend to our own first; nor are mill | tary trains capable of being employed tor wounded.” | Mr. Gladstone favors the Prussian view; but Mr. Hammond, Under Secretary of the For- eign Oiice, opposes it on technical grounds, and if the french insist on their view nothing wil ‘be done, and the Fiench wounded will have their own government to thank for needlessly prolonging | their sufferings. | The reported meeting of foreign ambassadors io Paris, to consider the possible terms of | peace, is wholly discredited. Prussia would cousider such @ meeting held in an enemy's eapital a gross discourtesy. Such an initia- tive wonid be regarded as serious if taken 4m London or Petersburg, but in Paris almost as @ ‘violation of neutrality; and Prussia neither believes she starement nor would listen for a moment to any proposal so originating. THE NAVAL BATTLE. A special correspondent seuds from Hamburg, #D account of the first naval engagement of the | war, thus:— On the morning of the 17th instant the German @espatch boat Grille started out of the Bay of Rugen to reconnoitie the position and strength of the French ships of war, whose arrival in the neighbor- hood had been reported, though nobody had as yet ween them, After proceeding out to sea until within sight of the Danish island of Moen the Grille at length dis- covered the tall masts of the squadron, consisting of seven trop clad fngates and a couple of smaller ‘vessels, and approached boldly until Within 3000 paces. ‘The Freneh then opened fire and direc’ at Bev Tab broadsides at the iittle craft, at the sae ti 1V= ing chase.

MacMahon and the Crown Prince ating ‘or Position—Eaogiand to Support Belgiam—The German Forces—English and Rassinn Feeling—The Loudon Times and the Empress of France. Lonpon, August 24—Night. We have a story of a conflict near Noveant, nine miles from Metz, on Monday, with advantage to the French; but I cannot vouch for it, The mile tary opinion here 1s that MacMahon aud the Crown Prince are moving on peraliel lines and mancnvring for position, and that Bazaine is in communication with MacMahon, and manceuvreing to combine with him 4p ap attack upon the Crown Prince. As to the re- cent battles one fact telis sufficiently their result. Oper. ‘The French captured Prussian cannon at Longue- | yille and Mar-le-Tour. ‘The Prussians have taken no French guns since Woerth. ‘felegrams are constant between the Foreign | Ofice and Brussels. The Belgian commanders on the frontier are much exasperated by the constant attempts of the Prussians to transgress the line on one or another pretext, Belgium will be supported 4p defending her neutrality with the whole power of England. Ki is now beginning to be suspected that the strengih of the German army has been overesti- mated. Certainly great exaggerations occur in Published gogounts We hear of 60,000 Bavarians 1D the Crown Prince's army, when the whole active force 1s Jess than 50,000 strong. It is here thought a mustabe to have sent the Crown Prince towards Paris. His army, though numerous, is largely com- posed of South Germans, among whom are many new troops, the Prussian aystem of training having been adopted tm South Germany only two years ago. ‘This accounts, it 1s said, for the length of time Goring which they were held at bay by an inferior force under MacMahon gt Haguenan, and for their Tearful losses there. ‘The population of Paris manifested much indigna- i ton to-day with the Left of the Legislature.

The belief tnat France tends to @ republic, and that Bis- Marck wishes to annex Alsace and Lorraine to Ger- many, makes large classes of Englishmen favorable to France, The German projects now excite deep reproba- ] tion. The absence of the Queen, too, attributed to her Prussian sympathies, is arousing bad feeling. A ‘teading nobleman said yesterday, in a political club, “The Queen and King William are Going more for Napoleon than he is doing for himself.” AN increasing anti-German agitation pervades Russia. The leaders of the Muscovite party openly clamor for war. They protest that Prussia detains two millions and a half of Poles from their proper aliegiance. ‘There are reports to-day df a ferment , amovg the Germans of Esthonia and Courland.

FRANCE. Cabinet Assurances of Favorable News—Mac - Mahon and Buzaine—Prowsinn Camp En- cumbrances. Paris, Augast 24—Night. The journal Le Public says there has’ been no serl- us engagement since the 19th. At the Counc! of Mimsiers yesterday Count de Palikao gave reassuring details as to the position oy Marshal Bazaine, which he said was excellent. ‘The Marshal informed Count de Palikwo that he should give his troops ¢wo days. of needed rest; but that at the same time it was known to hitn that the Prussians were encumbered with their sick and wounded, and would be unavle to take any advantage of his delay. Marshall MacMahon is marching, aads Le Public, but we must say no more of him. It 1s understood that the Crown Prince of Prussia has stopped his forward march. It seems less likely now tnat Paris will be attacked. The last ten days have changed the attitude of France and altered the chances of the war. Rentes closed at 61 francs. SUICIDE OF AN UNFORTUNATE. The Results of Crime—Self-Destruction in a House of Il!-Fame. {From the Binghamton Republican, August 17.] This morning, while Coroner Worthing was tak- ing evidence in the case of the murder yesterday morning, he was notified that a girl had committed suicide in @ disreputable house kept by George Harly, on Allen street near the fairgrounds. Dra. Thayer and Andrews were requested to make a post-mortem examination, which they completed about twelve o’clocks No scientific test will be made of the contents of the stomach, for the cause of her death will probably be established beyond doubt by evidence taken this afternoon. The inmates of the house say that she was at Chubbuck’s drug store yesterday afternoon and bought a drachm of morphine. At eight o’clock she commenced taking the morphine, and on re- tiring about eleven o’clock she took about one- third of tbe drachm. About five o'clock this | morning she alarmed another girl who slept in the same room by her peculiar breathing and catch- ing for breath. ets immediately went after a acctae) but was unable to find one to go to his house until ten o’clock, when Dr. O. V. Thayer called to see the unfortunate woman. At that time there was no possibility of saving her by medical skill, and she died in about twenty minutes after the arrival of the physiciun. The woman was known by several aliases. At Hur- ley’s she a known, q Susie French, but letters were found in a box belonging to her directed to Ida Freneh, Minnie French, Miunie Pinch, &c. Eetters, apparently from her mother, were dated at Chittenango 4nd signed Affi Jones. Thére was also a marriage certificate found among her letters, witnessing that Phillipe Eckel and Minnte French were married at Binghamton on the 9th day of May, 1570, by one of our clergymen. | Minnfo, it is skid, came from Syracuse to this city about a year ago, and lived at the house ot Ann | Shear until about two months ago, when she went to Hurley's. ,The deceased is about eighteen years of age. There is a rumor to the effect that | bhe came down into the city yesterday afternoon and resolved to commit suicide after hearing of the arrest of Charley Van Valkeyburg, with whom she had been intimate.

Omaha, one of the cities born of the Pacific Ratl- road, and winch fora time increased im population and business at a rapid rate, has already suficred a relapse. Business there, according to a local paper, {8 unusually dull—so much so, in fact, that the City Council 1s offering bonuses to manufacturers to establish themselves in tne place. ‘The Johnstown (Pa.) Tribune says:—“There is in the employ of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, near this place, a Watciman named Samuel J. Hill, who has held the position for seventeen consecutive ears, Inthistime he has walked 63,875 miles, or the distance of two anda half times around the earth, and yet not been five miles away irom home.

DUHDREARY NAVIGA A Party of New York Swella Attempt to Said a Boat—They re Overturned and Kes- cued=The Bay Dragged for 'Their Bodies. A few days since a party of three young men from New York went down New Sufolk, a small village on Peconic Bay, L. 1., to spend a vacation. Although of pleasing address and well favored by nature the airs which the young men put on made them more or less obnoxious to the natives of the quiet village, till their addresses to a number of young ladies made at least the ladies friends, and everything went on “swimmingly” until in an evil bour they decided to go on a sailing excursion. A tine twenty Joot sailboat was obtained, and with a fair wind and the broad Peconic before them, they put directly off shore, When off shore perhaps three miles a schooner ran pear tiem, the captain noticing that the boat was without management, and as a squall Was coming up he leit lus course to look alter tne three wise young men irom Gotham. As he feared, the squall soon changed the natural position of the boat, and the young men were in the midst of the sea floundering at a great rate, The humane cap- tain saved the boat’s crew, and as they could’not be put ashors at New Suffolk he took them to his desti- hation, from whence they regurned to the city. The villagers soon perceiving the boat overturned natu- rally concluded the freight was near, and fregeed Jor the bedies of the supposed unfortunates for three or four days. On the nigbt of the day of the occur- rence the young lady iriends of the heroes sat ap all night and kept hot a number of blankets, botties, &c., lor the purpose of reviving their inanimate forms if found, THE NAVY YARD FIRE. The fire inthe Brooklyn Navy Yard on Tuesday night, which was briefy reported in the HERALD of yesterday, broke out at a quarter past eight o’clock in the fourth or upper story of the machine shop. The building 1s of granite, with iron window frames and iron sashes, iron beams and an iron framed copper roof, ‘The floors and casing on the inside of the roof are of wood. The floor upon which the fire occurred Was used for the storage of patterns, or wooden models of machinery. At one end 18 & smali paiutshop where the fire is supposed to have originated. No open lights, matches or smoking are allowed in the butlding, aud the flames are supposed to have originated in the spontaneous combustion of oiled cotton waste in the paint shop, which the heat of the place might bave ignited.

Although they had been prosecuted for about thirty years, ha’ since that time not been without some influence upon geologi- cal theories, they have unexpectedly appeared again mm the foreground, owing to the fact that their latest results seem to lead us to very surprising and interesting conclusions, The basis of deep sea investigations was laid by Edward Forbes, In an essay entitled “The Relations of the Molluscs Inhabiting the British Coast,” &c., he made an attempt to throw light upon the yet completely obscure Ife of organisms buried in the strata of former geclogios! epochs, and he proceeded on the fact that various depths of the sea were inhabited by various animals. He established four zones of depth which he distinguished by four different names; but this really has no foundation in fact, since @ certain number of animais are con- fined within them. Jt 18 especially within the last twenty years that the 8eas that wash the European coast have eagerly been searched by the drag-net, and in Gert ies J the specimens found with the petrifaction of the period anterior to our own it became evident that Arctic animals had emigrated in considerable numbers to the south, while many of the animals former- ly living there became extinct. ‘The nearer we approach the equator the rarer grows the Arctic Fauna. ga) In discovering in the Agaic sea only a few living animals at a depth of 300 or 260 fathoms, concluded that at Saag depths all life disappeared. The doctor en illustrated in avery able way the formation and existence of the “fauna” from some charts which had been specially prepared for the occasion, and, he said, to show that apimals can live in the lowest depths of the ocean, when the Atlantic cable was being laid Wallich found live animals at a depth of 2,600 fathoms; and concluded his paper, which gave it satisfaction to the meeting. Prosessor ELSBERG, M. D., also read an instruc- tive and interesting paper upon the formation of all organic life out of the inorganic or dead matter, dividing his subject in three diferent parts, and showing that, instead of two classes, modern natu- ral historians divided them into three—namely, animal, prolists and plants. The professor's paper was well written and well ijlustrated. POLICE DISCIPLINE, To THe EDITOR OF THE HERALD :— In your Issue of the 19th inst. I have noticed the able and succinct letter of your correspondent, Charles Catchem; but although your correspondent has, with evident ability, portrayed the workings of the establishment as to beat duty, he has, aotwith- standing, overlooked some very importan: points in his subject, Such, however, has not occurred from any unwillingness on Nis part to do the subject jus- tice, but simply from the fact that he is forvunate enough to be able to subsist outside the pale of police jurisdiction, and, therefore, cannot be conversant with its manifold little misgivings. But, before closing this brief reference to his name, permit me to state that tne police force is not unmindful of the interest he man- ifests in their behali, as well as im the public in whose service they are engaged. Your correspondent is fully aware of the impulses of a poor, weary oilicer, drudging along his beat on @81X hours’ tour, with no other ambition than that of successfully evading the pimpings and pryings of those liveried sycophants in disguise, the “grand rounds,’’ whose object it would seem to be to prefer charges against them, and, whether well founded or otherwise, to swear them into an obedience to their will, Just imagine for a moment the ridiculous ab- surdity of compelling an officer to traverse his post on time, regardiess of what may be transpiring; and ponder well the siill more gigantic absurdity and gross injustice of punishing a policeman for not. travelling his ¢ im the prescribed time, no matter what evidence he may produce to show that he was otherwise legally employed in the discharge of his onerous duty. The general roundsmen are professional swearers and chronic law-breakers, and I am not astonished that the public is becommg alarmed at the war of testimony that is bi-weekly waged before the Com- missioners at poilce trials, and that they place no re- ance, no faith in the men who are organized to watch their lives and property, since wholesale swearing 1s the prevailing meritorious idea at Police Headquarters. But the public, I trust, know how to discriminate between the innocent and the criminal in this matier. When an officer nowadays seats himseif down to rest his weary limbs after a hard day’s duty he congratulates his wife, children and himeeif, not that he has achieved any pratseworthy act im capturing the enemies of household security or in any other meritorious public service which might redound to his credit as a good and efficient servant, but that he had, by adroit and well executed stratagem, evaded the designs of the “grand rounds” and thereby saved to bis little ones the wherewithal to subsist. Now, as an tilustration of the class of men that compose the chosen fifty (I will not dare to say that there are not good, honest men among them), I will furnish one instance out of many of their ability in the trade of taking un oath. On the morning of the 6th instant the writer hereof, with another officer and a@ respectable citizen, observed a roundsman squatted on barrels at the corner of Thirty-ninth street and Sixth avenue, at five muiutes before six A. M., und noticed that he re- mained in that position“ until tfteen minutes after six watching tne relieving points of the sur- rounaing pairolmen. A few days afterwards I was apprised that the same roundsman had preferred charges against an officer of the Twenty-ninth pre- cinct for not relieving at the proper point, and when the case came up for triala lew days subsequently what was my consternation to find that the said roundsman testified before the Commissioners that he was between Forty-first and Forty-second streets, on Madison avenue, trom five minutes before six o’clock A. M. until twenty after. While this can be refuted by at least five respectable witnesses, I don’t see why such grave violation of the obligation of an oath should not be brought before the criminal court, since the Commissioners turn a deaf ear to the most pathetic appeal coming from a patrolman. ‘The patro{man in this case asked for a postpone- ment until he could produce witnesses, but his ap- plication was refuscd. Bave tne Police Commis- sioners ever studied the lines of the immortal Burns, that Rank {e but the Led stamp, A man’s 8 man for a? that, and not-shield the terrible crime of perjury under the mantle oi rank? No man but he who had to enaure this unjust inflict‘on, after many years of fatthiul and devoted service to the public, can con- ceive any idea of its painful effect. Will such bane- fulacts to the best interests .of the force be per- erpetrated with impunity? as anybody with any conception of a military education ever heard of anything having a parallel to the late General Order of the Superimten- dent, wherein it is distinctly stated that the mem- bers of the department shail salute or pay homage vo the Commissioners, the Superintendent and cap- tains, without receiving any notice or acknewledg- ment in return from those officials? If such a rule 1s in vogue in any organization in the civilized world having the slightest pretensions to military, Iam unaware of the fact. Probably the Superintendent has discovered some improved method of treating subordinates, and that would seem to be to pass a man by who offers the usual token of respect to his superior in rank, as if he were one of the inferior creatures of creation, unworthy of the common act of courtesy extended a rea Pee officer in the army to the meanest private soldier. 4 Me PETER PATROLMAN, “SHIPPING NEWS.
