rae ‘lengthy. account of the battle near Sedan, by the 7'ribune’s correspundent, has Been received by telegraph. The writer had.a better view of the battle ield than he had at Gravelotte, and ‘therefore givés a fuller and more satisfactory account of thelast battle.It was fought on Thursday, the 1st, and was bat a centinuation of the fighting of the two preceding days. After driving the French back to Sedan, the Prussian forces were brought up in:theform of a crescent, completedy surrounding the French except on ‘the Belgium side, and by means of greatly superior numbers were able to cut off their retreat to the west. The disproportion between the two armies ‘was greater than has generally been supposed. The correspondent says sie McMahon’s force on Tuesday, “when the fighting commenced, numered 120,000 men, while the Prussians “and their allies engaged in the battle of ‘the 1st, according to Von Moltke, numbered 240,000. This great superiority in numbers enabled the Prussians “toliterally surround the French, éxcept on the Belgiam ‘side, and the beleagured army had no way of escape in amy direction except by ‘cutting its way through a superior force. We have no estimate of the losses in the series of engagements. One account of . the fight’ on Wednesday stated that 10,000: Freneh~—and 20,000 Prussians wero left dead ‘and wounded on the field. The fighting on Thursday was . “gill more desperate, and-et McMvhon’s total force, it-is doubttul whether more jah half ‘were left. when Shey laid down their urms, Latest Nows. “The, Gagette received dispatches yesterday evening, dated the 6th, from ~Paris-and~bondon. -A~Repablic has} j,, been declared in France, and there is a grand uprising of the pegsple to resist the Prussian invasion. Over 700,000 men, including the National Guard ’ “and Guard Mobile, are under arms. The obnoxious French Ministers have fled to Belgium. \ The Prince Imperial is in London. \McMahon lies dead in Belgium. ‘Verny’ 8 corps of MeMahon’s army is “retree ting, and remains intact. Bazaine i is still holding out at Metz. There i is great excitement in Italy, ‘add prospect of a revolution. HORTICULTURAL SEXHIBITION.—The . Horticultural and Agricultual Exhibi-: tion, held last, week. at San Francisco, WAS & success. The Alta says the importance of similar fairs has long since been recognized in Eurupe, where the . farmers and gardeners are not,as a mass, as thoroughly intelligent and alive as our owa. “The inevitable competitions, , comparisons, discussions, and cotninents to which such exhibitions give risé; an ndt fail to be of value ia an essentially agricultural State among a people who are nothing if not practical. In Europe, however, such, exbibi. tions are generally organized by societies possessing a Jocal habitation and a name, whose menibers meet period: ically Jor the. reading of papers and communications, and who conjointly support. libraries, museums, and all the paraphernalia of permanent institutions. Our agricultural interests have a substantial future, and while we shave often wondered how it was that _ Ban Pfanvisco, the commercial capital of a great mining State, did not possess ageological soviety, with all the adjuncts of mining schvols’ and lecture halls; we consider the establishment of a society which shall represent all branches of horticulture, viniculture, and agriculture, as of even greater importanes. We are pleased to learn that.at last the prelimiaary steps toward the organization of such a soeietphave been taken, and that the managers of the Mechanics’ Institute have sigaified their desire to co-operate wate every, way—offering to lend. their rooms until its permanent establishwork on theditch of the North BI ous accident on Friday last. He was blasting with giant. powdé, and while handling a cap it exploded, mangling his left hand in-a terrible manner. Three of the fingers had to be amputated. He is now in the County Hospital, and doing well. Assessment Notice. .

Tuk SURRENDER Niws IN PaRts.— The proclamation of the French Ministry announcing the capture of McMahou’s army. created most intense excitement in Paris.

A vote was taken in the Corps Legislatif on the 5th, declaring Trochu temporary Dictator This was carried by, yeas, 185; nays, none. One sentimént animated all classes, that they niust resist invasion to the last. PREPARATIONS FOR DEFENSE.—Belgian dispatches say that a large number of refugees from Paris had arrived in that country. They were mostly Luxemburgers, and were expelled on account of lack of means to provide themselves with food in case of famine. The indigent French, who are not wanted in the defense of the city, are sent south. The expulsion of so many Boor people causes much distress, but jess than though they remained during the siege. Their, expulsion now isa matter of humanity.

Four shots were fired ; after placing powder in the cannon for the fitth shot, and while in the act -f ramming wadding upon it, the mun at the vent supposing it ready fired it, and the gun-immediately went off. Henry Falis, a citizen of Glendale, a neighboring town, who was loading the gua, was thrown about fifteen feet, striking a telegraph pole. His right hand was cut-off just above the wrist, both eyes put Out and his breast badly burned. The Doctors think there is no hope for his life. ‘This sad event ended the celebration, and cast a gloom over the whole community. INTERESTING To Minurs.—Dr. Bern: ard, in a communicaticn to the Paris Academy of Sciences, upon the rapidity of the absorption of the oxidé of carbon “by the liiigs, recommends well diggers, miners and. others, before descending wells or penetrating into mines, first to lower a cage into them, containing a bird or some small animal, such asa rat. In the event of the little animal’s resisting the test for » qcarter of an hour, workinen may descend into them without ineurring the slightest risk. Should the animal die under the expo. sure, the mine or well should be thoroughly ventilated. THE IMPERIAL. FAMILY.—A veh dispatch of the 5th, says the Empress Eugenia has determined or jin her husband in his captivity, having received assurances that she will nut be regarded as a Prussian prisoner; An Anistérdam dispatch says the Prince Imperial was captured with his father This“may or may not be true; the young gentleman has béen scattered over the country so much that be is liable toturn up any where!

It seems that three parts of chlorate of potassium to one of carbo. nate of sodium, made into a solution and applied with a camel hair brush, will vause writing to disappear from paper, and if a weak mineral acid is pear. A solution of gum arabic and white of an egg restores the “signing” to the paper. When the brothers were: arrested, detective Lees searched their ing a~—white powder. He had this an alyzed with the above result. It is possible that this is a new contribution to chemical science, as the profeshe never heard of such a mixture be-. fore, bat had been experimenting with writing almost instantaneously. HisToricaL ParkaLLELs.—The New York Tribune says: We do not place much value upon what.are called historical parallels, and it is only a waste of.time for writers to attempt to forecast. the course or results of the present Franco-Prussian war by instituting comparjsons between it and the previous wars in which the same _powers have'been engaged. The leaders of the present war, the conditions of the war, the nature and spirit of the armies, the genius of the times,and the terms of ago during the campaigns’-on the Rhine. The present Emperor is. not his'uncle ; the Prussian thilitaty establishment of 1870 is not that of 1790 or 1810; the question *now .in debate between the respective armies appears under a new aspect.
