H. Lambert, of Alexandria, Virginia. ‘These specimens are of extraordinary size and of the richest pine-apple flavor; and we regret that they should have arrived at so late a stage of the exhibitiou, or they would, no doubt, have taken a hich prize Specimens of the Napolvon Begerean cherry were presented to-day by Mr. H. C. Williams of Fairfax conuty, Virginia, of beautiful size and rich calor. From Prof. Page's green-house, to-day, comes | something peculiarly interesting and new in the way of a Chinese leaf plant, toe first specimen ever seen in bloom in this city. The history of this plant is remarkable, as showing extraordinary tenacity of life. Mrs. Parker, wife of the Commissioner to China, ona homeward se from the East Indies, broke off a single leaf from the original plant at Bom- | bay, for the purpose of pressing it. This leaf was placed carefully between the leaves of her Port- fewille, and placed in a trunk, where it remained | for three months during the voyage home. When she arrived at Washington and opened the trank bon the leaf, it was found to be perfectly dead dry, while around the extreme edges bad sprouted six new plants in perfect shape, root and branches; these little shoots, were white as snow, and Prof. Page obtained them and placed them in his green-house, where ar were gradually exposed to different degrees of light until they as- sumed the rich green color which is natural to them. Out of the six shoots, Prof. Page sueceed- ed in growing three, one of which he has placed in the exhibition room as above stated. Another peculiarity of this plant is the resem- blance it bears in general shape to the pictures of the Chinese pagoda. which are seen in illustra- tions of Chinese architecture. This shows how — copy nature in the way of architectural jesign From Prof. P.’s extensive collection we notice a beautiful double white Imperialis or Petronia, the first bloom of the season, and deliciously fra- Kent; also, from his garden, some bunelies of | juanumoth onions. Cuiminat Cocrt.—JudgeCrawford—The case of the United States rs. Enoch and Mordecaj Ridgeway was in progress when our report closed yesterday, and shortly after it was given to the jury. The cases of assault and battery being Nes. 2, 25, 26, 27, 28 and 29, of the United States vs. Daniel and Isaiah Stewart were taken up. These cases grew ont of # too free use of whis- key on the part of the defendants on the 28th of January last, who it seems were out on a sleigh- ing party on that day. and after imbibing several drinks they came past the restaurant of Charles Frankenberger, corner of G and Seventh street, where they called to take a parting drink; some misandersiznding arose about the pay, when Daniel went out of the restanrant ‘to mind the horse,“* saying that it was all right, he wouid see that the drinks were paid for; this assu- rance did not seem aswer the proprietor, who sent his har-keeper out after him to secure the pay, and he took Daatel by the collar and held him; just then Isaiah came out and told the barkeeper to let go, accompanying the demand with a mo- ton as if to separate the parties; he succeeded in getting them apart, and then Daniel hauled off and gave the barkee a blow with his fist; the t retreated into the hoase, and was fol- lowed by the two Stewarts, when the barkeeper stepped behind the bar, and Daniel went towards him fer the purpose of paying for the said drinks; some one crfed out * Don’t go there, the Dutch- man has got a stick and will strike you;’’ Daniel caught upa spitteon and threw it 2t the barkeeper, and then ensued a general muss. in which Mr. Prankenberger, his wife, the barkeeper and sev- eral others were engaged; just then Mr. Henry L. Harvey, justice of the peace, came in, and see- ing the row ordered the parties in the name of the lew to desist; he went up to Daniel and laid hold of bis collar, when Daniel gave him a blow, and Isaiah followed suit on the other side, inflicting @ serious wourft en the temple: warrants were issued and the parties were arrested and bound over for Court and te-day brought upto answer the carges agalust them. i The Grand Jury found the following bil!s against them: Daniel Stewart, for assanlt and battery on Henry £.. Harvey; Isaiah Stewart, for a similar assault on H. L. Harvey: Daniel Stewart, assanit on Geo. Gerhardt. bar keeper; Isaiah Stew- art, assault on G. Gerhardt; Daniel stewart, for assault on Charles F rankenberger; Isaiah Stewart, do, do ; and Isaiah Stewart, with assault against Mrs. Fraukenberger. Mr. Martin appeared as counsel for the defence. The witnesses were severally examined ; the facts elicited in relation to the affray, and the cases were submitted to the jury without argument, and they, after retiring a short time, verdicts against the Stewarts in all the cases but oue, that of assault on Mrs. Frankenberger. = His Honor addressed a short and impressive exordium to them on the baleful influence of night revels, and the odious practiceof whisky imbibations; and passed sentence on them as follows: Daniel Stewart, found guilty in casex 24, 26 and 2, a fine of %5 and costs jn cave 24; $5 in No. 26, and $65 in 2, being the charges of Messrs. Harvey, Gerbardt and Framkenberger ; and Isaiah Stewart, found guilty in cases No. 25 and 27, was fined in No 5, 8 for assaulton H. L.. Harvey, and $5 in No. 27, the charge of ‘Geo, Gerhardt. % ‘The jury in the ease of the U S. rs. E. and M. Ridgeway came in with a verdict of guilty, aud His Honor fined Enoch Ridgeway #20 and costs, and Mordecai Ridgeway $10 and costs of court. ‘Phe Court then adjourned to this morning at 10 o'elotk. ‘This morning, the Court met at the usual hour, and Mr. Key for the United States entered a nolic prosequi in cases of No. 9%. 97 and %. No. 70 was a riot cuse, being the United States es. John Hill; submitted withont 2D, ; his hon- of fined the defendant $5. and costs of Court ‘Phe next case taken up was No. 50, being a riot and affray on the Mth of February last at Rup- pell’s restaurant in Georgetown. The defendants are Ross and Elias Sullivan, and Chas. Merrill, who forfeited his recognixance at Criminal Court of case and re-entered by his counsel, subsequent- ly. Martin and Morgan for defence.

In the river article yesterday we inadvertently stated that the steamer Maryland towed to Alex- andria, from Chesapeake city, twenty-four “boats of coal."* ft should have been ‘coal boats,'? as they came light. The Erie Canal has been widened, and the boats formerly used on that line are inconveniently narrow for the trade on that canal ; accordingly, wider boats have been built, and the Cumberland Coal Company have pur- chased one hundred of these narrow boats to be used in the Cumberland Coal exportation to Georgetown and Alexandria.

To the Editors of the Journal of Commerce, New York City—Gentlemen: My attention has just been directed to a paragraph in the Balti- more San, of June I2th, in regard to a sufferer from the endemic disease at the National Hotel ofthis city. This paragraph is headed ** Poison Sure.’’ Jistates that a person who suffered with the hotel disease and hed many relapses, was in- duced to try the electro-chemical baths and after using them, **@ heavy deposit of arsenic was found.’’ Although the press has often been greatly deceived, (as our correspondence, soon to jd estan in the report to the Board of Health and City Councils will show,) still, we are anxious to obtain all information in regard to the subject. 1 therefore beg, that you will do us the favor, to put me in direct communication with the author of the article in your journal, and also, beg the favor of 3 copy of that statement, with its ite. In so mysterious a malady we are compelled to notice everything in public print, and although these articles would n lead us astray, still, in our official capacity, we are compelled to « ferret barns out.” ; e present article ma: rhaps be no moe than a puff of a new lan of getting mone yr ‘by the users of this electro-chemical bath. tn. deed—a novel kind of quackery, which would hus command attention, from the universal in- terest feltin this malady. It is true, that I bave myself advised patients to try this bath; yet I must say, that I have no inforination in regard to its effects. Rost Kine Stons, M.D., Chairman of Special Committee of Board of Health, Washington, D.C. The last number of the Boston Medical and Surgical Journal contains a long letter from Col. Isaac O. Barnes, of that city, one of the sufferers, to Dr. D. H. Storer, which very fully describes the symptoms of this strange disease, and refers to the various theories of its origin. The writer concludes by saying : ** For myself, I have no remaining doubt as to the real origin of this disease. I believe it is at- tributable exclusively to the poisonous gases from the sewers of the house and street, aided, it may be, by the deleterious and very offensive ef- finvia from the vaults under the building. I be- lieve this obnoxious Sapot was driven back upon and into the cellar by the sudden rise of the Po- tomac, into which the common sewer should empty itself. It broke out after three very warm days, bar dan, ae of which the rain fell copiously for twelve hours, and during which time the river rose very rapidl: character have often from a similar cause.’ Diseases of a similar n known to originate Rossery—Tus Man in tHe Write Hat Azovut.—Yesterday, Mr. John G. Cookendorfer- after a visit to the United States Ship Plymouth, at the Navy Yard, got into an omaibus to return tothe city. A young man, who wore a white hat, white pants, a black coat, and no vest, and ‘was apparently about 2? years of age. got in at the same time. At the Capitol this young man left, and shortly after Mr Cookendorfer missed his porte monnate, containing $270. Mr.C., aided by the police, has since heen Prosecuting a, thus far, unsuccessful, search for the thief. The money lost consisted of a hundred dollar note, one of fifty dollars, and several small notes, all Kentucky money. We renew the warning of ‘hands on your pocket books,’’ and it takes unusual impiessive- ness from the fact that the man in the white hat has arrived in town. Accipext.—As Mr, Cornelius Wendell, of this city, was leaving a daughter of Attorney General Black, yesterday, at her father’s residence, the horse started, knocking Mr. Wendell down and pomieg over him. injuring him severely. Mrs. Wendell was also thrown from the carriage, and was considerably hurt. The carriage was com- pletely smashed up, and nnder the circumstances it is a matter of congratulation that Mr. and Mrs. Wendell, though badly bruised, escaped more serious injuries. Wet Doxe.—Our friend Tucker, the contrac- tor for keeping in repair the pumps on Pennsy!- vania as far east as Teuth street, is already bravely at work in our immediate vicinity. Yesterday he fixed the Tenth street pump proipainate | and to-day is doctoring the one on the corner 0! Elev- enth street. We hope soon to be able to say that Mr. Greenwell, the pump contractor for the avenue east of Tenth street, is curing the defects of his charge as satisfactorily. Porice Reroxt.—Before Justice Donn.—Rory O’ More was brought up in abighly drunken con- dition, to answer an assault on Seth Hyatt. Rory is a great scholar; and full of Latin, Greek and Hebrew. He, it seems, entered Hyatt’s store and commenced kicking up a row, and when request- ed by Hyatt to withdraw be hauled of and bit Mr. B. a severe blow in the face. He was sent to jail to answer the assault before the Criminal Court. Tue Barger or ‘Laces,’ from Hamphreys & Junemann, received yesterday, was voted to be a first class article by a large and well quali- fied committee of tasters. We wish the enter- prising brewers all mayner of success in their undertaking. At Trisity Cuvrcn, last evening, forty young persons received the rite of confirmation, which was administered by Bishop Whittingham, of Baltimore. Bishop Whittingham. on Sunday last, administered the solemn rite toa class of twenty-three persons at the Episcopal Mission Chapel of St John, in Baltimore.

A FURTHER FOREIGN INTEELIGENCE. By the Europa at Halifax. Harirax, June 16.—The royal steamer Eu Captain Leitch ftom Liverpool at de, m., of Saturday, June 6, arrived at this port at 5 o'clock this morning. Gvsear Britaix.—Parliament resumed jts sit. tings on the 4th, but the proceedings were only of local interest. In the House of Commons Lord Palmerston had intimated that he intended to submit a bill at this session for the abolition of the church rates. Mr. Berkely gave notice of his intention to bring up the question of the ballot on the 23d of June. The Chancellor of the Exchequer stated that there was no waged ~* epee’ of reducing the duty on t for educationa! . Theffetual efforts were made for the appoint- ment of committees to revise the duties of the Board of Trade, and to consider and rej measures for improving the condition of the las boring classes. The Princess Royal annuity bill was finally The London Times states that there is not the least ground for the report that the United States frigate Niagara is not to take her share of thesub- marine cable. She was to leave the Thames on Friday for Portsmouth dock-yard, where some of her stauncheons were to be taken out, and her ward-room altered to accommodate the cable. ‘This done, she would at once proceed to Birken- head and commence taking in the cable. At the Greenwich Works. about nine hundred miles of cable was completed, and=the whole length would have been done but for the fact that the daily consuinption of fine wire has been more than all the wire-diawers of England could far- nish. The Agamemnon was to commence taking in the cable at Greenwich on the 9th or luthef June Her tender is to be the steam-frigate I . All the vessels will rendezvous at Cork Harbor, where the final arrangements will be made. The war steamer nee is now taking sound- ings along the proposed deep-sea route. The period ior the paying out the cable is the month of August. The suspension of Wm. Macintosh & Co., is announced ; liabilities sup about £100,000. An appeal is put forth for funds to carry out Lady Franklin’s Arctic Expedition, which isex- pected to start by the beginning of July France.—The statement that, during the late visit of the Emperor to the muster of artillery, an attempt was made ye his life, is reiterated ; and the fact that the English journals contain any reference to this matter as wellas to the Gov. ernment election plan, were intercepted at the French post ottices, gives color to the story The recent government cirenlar, in regard to the app-oaching election, formed the main polit- ical theme, and Paris correspondence generally agrees in saying that the document has created a sensation highly detrimental to government in- terests. The list of Democ:atic cand dates for Paris had not been arranged. The correspondent of the Times says, thatin the event of the election of these candidates, the difference of opinion as to taking the oaths to the existing government will p obably be satisfactorily arranged. He also stat: s that it is doubtful if Cavaignac will appear as a candidate It was expected that the monthly returns of the Bank of France, to be published ina few days. would show an increase in the stock of bullion amounting to more than £ 1,0u0,000 sterling. Rumors of an approaching interview between the Emperor Alexander and the Eimperor of the French are again circulati aris. Sratx.—Some cheap-bi riots bad occurred at Granada. A large number of people paraded through the principal streets, and. having 2s- sumed a menacing attitude, were ordered to d s- Tse, and failing to do so} they were fired upon y the troops, which had been called out, and four persons were wounded. They then retired to their homes, and quiet was restored. The city was, nevertheless, declared in a state of siege On the 25th all was tranquil. The Madrid correspondent of the London Times says the negotiations on the Mexican question were suspended until the arrival of the Mexican mail due early in June, and adds: + If it brings authentic intelligence of chastisement inflicted on the delinquents, this will give a favorable im- pulse to the ulterior march of the question ; but if the expected news be within the mark, and less than the requirements of the Spanish Cabinet, it is not impossible that Lafragaa, unless Lord Howden and the Marquis de Turgot are able to detain him, will leave Madrid on account of the refusal of this Government to reeégnise him offi- cially. In this case hostilities may be expected. It is to be feared that the Mexican question pre- sents very serious difticulties, and is by no means $) near its settlement as some have recently sup- pose d.** : Iraty.—The Naplescorrespondent of the Daily News recounts a large number ef continued bar- barities on the part of the authorities, and says that a placard, addressed to the citizens, callin, on them to rise, had been put in circulation Tri- colored bills, of an inflammatory nature, had also been freely distributed. Avs7Rr1a.—The announcement of Marshal Ra- detski's death appears to have been premature, as the Official Gazette of Verona, of the 31st of May contains a medical bulletin that his health con- tinned to be satisfactory. Russta.—The Prussian papers say that the Emperor of R is about to reduce his army, and it is stated at Vienna that the St. Petersburg Government has made advances to Austria. Persia.—The ratifications of the treaty of peace were exchanged on the 2d of May, at Bagdad, With great ceremony, and mutual congratulations assed between Mr. Murray and the Persian Pienipotentiar Grexc "| ~The French Consul at Athens has dof the Greek Governinent the estab- lishment of a Greek embassy at Paris. Turney —The Vienna correspgndent of the London Times says the Porte has forwarded a memoir to its diplomatic agents in Europe, de- monstrating the necessity for some i in the treaties betweea Turk nd the Christian Pow- in the document ‘it is set forth that public e and security cannot be maintained in Tur- ey so lon: each separate Legation and Consu- late have a right of jurisdiction. Tur Larest sv TeLecrapPn. Tn the House of Lords, on Friday, Lord Stanley intimated jn response to several petitions for a relief in the merchants shipping act, that gov- ernment saw no reason for any alteration in the existing law. Jn the House of Commons, Sir John Pakington said that he found that in the ordinary course of things, there will be little chance of his bringing forward his motion on National Education until too late a period of the session to admit of its be- ing properly discussed unless he received some indu ence from yovernment. He therefore ap- peel Loid Palmerston to aid him in enabling the new Parliament to discuss so important a subject. Lord Palmerston admitted the importance of tLe subject, but could not at present coffer a gov- einment day for the discussion. This, it is presumed. shelves the measure for the session. The Sound Dues qncstion was taken up, and the House voted £1,125,000 in liquidation of Eng- land’s share in the redemption. . Mr. Liddell called attention to the subject of the Danish transit dues, which, although of com- paratively smal! amount, were vexatious in their operation, and ought to be abolished by treaty, as well as the Souud Dues. The Chancellor of the Exchequer said in re- sponse that the Government endeavored to et the abolition of the transit dues included in the treaty, but had been unable to obtain the as- sent of the Danish Government to the proposi- tion. France anv Russia.—The Paris correspond- ent of the Times says: Count de Morny, previous to his departure from St Petersburg, which will take place about the 25th of this month, will sign the treaty of commerce between the French and Russian Goy- ernments of which the clauses are already agreed to.”? Beicivm.—Official desyatches from Brussels of the 3d, declare that cours agers is) restored, but -many petitions against the church abuses had reached the Government. A very strong feelin against the Jesuits continued to manifest i throu hout the country. A Brussels letter in the Paris Presse says that ata Cabinet Council it was resolved to withdraw the ohnoxious bill on charities, and that two or three ministers tendered their resignations, which the King refused to accept. The Chambers will be convoked again in a few weeks, but only to vote upon urgent measures, and after tuey are passed the session will be closed. Spain —Madrid dates are to the 30th ult. The disturbances at Granada had entirely ceased ; but the authorities continue to take military precau- tions, and were causing bread to be sold to the Poor at a reduced rate. AvsTRALIA.—London, Saturday.—The Catha- tine Adams, from Sydney, has arrived off Ply- mouth, but her amount of gold remains to be as- certained. This vessel is said to have made the e in sixty-nine days. : BPaance rhe umproved ition of the Bank of France having led to rumors of the contem- ted reduction in the rate of discount. the wri- fr of the Times’ city article says it seems that such a step will be resorted to before the artificial Purchases or gold are ent and in ‘he present uncertain state of the silk crop. Po- Lifically. it ts doubtless regarded as very desirable to create a more hopeful feeling pending the com- mencement of the elections, Tue Diericunry with New Graxava—-Ad vies from B to 2ith April, state that the Mscintosh question was either scttled, or on the ‘so, and that relatious were about to Perestored. teeween the two goveraments It ix added that Don Juan de Franciseo Martin, who has resided for the last three years in Paris, is ap- pointed Minister Pleni ada to the Court of St. Janes.
