At 4 o'clock the rush was so great to leave the ship that hundreds were passed out through the entrance gaugway. The Cape May excursion promises to be all that has been adver- Used. The tickets thus far sold amount to about five hundred, and the purchasers are first-class people. All sorts of stories are current about the ship. Her future movements would seem to be ‘wrapped in mystery. None of the directors, when sounded on the subject, will condescend to en- lighten the questioner’s iguorance. it is only certain that the public exhibition of the vessel Will close on Saturday night; that she will then be thoroughly scrubbed and sent on her Pleasure trip to Cape May — = Persenai. ~***Hon.

But little busines bas been transacted during the present year,ounsel in many cases preferring to awsit defini? action on the Congressional bil!, proposing toso change down the Lincoln and Hamlin flag which bas | the law establishing thet tribunal aso make its been erected at Occoquan. In all, there are not more than twenty men there sympathising in the cause in which the flag was erected; not so much the cause of Lincoln an@ Hamlin, as the personal cause of the man—Underwood—whose career of late years in Prince William has proved him to be an unadulterated abolitionist of most danger- ous type in the midst of a slave-holding commu- nity. The fact that he possesses some persona} qualities—of courage, earnestness, truthfulness, and energy—which naturally make warm per- sonal friends for men, bas alone operated to induce the people of Virginia to put up with his presence among them and his flagrantly incendiary course up to this time. While we shall ever raise our voice against violence, we are nevertheless well aware that there may arise nuisances and danger to the peace of society, which, under our government, no law will reach; but which, nevertheless, must be abated if the community at large would prescrve their lives or their property. Finite wisdom can- not lay down laws or rules proper to be observed on such occasions, each one suggesting the proper remedy against the dangers to society inherent in Itself. Regarding this Prince William case as an occasion of the sort, we cannot refrain from sym- pathizing with that community, so long abused by Underwood and his handful of adherents; while we sincerely trust that thelr necessary measures of self-protection may not result in bloodshed . ee ‘Szeps anp Currixes rrom Srrta.—The Agri- cultural Bureau has just received ninety-four boxes and two barrels, containing a fine assortmeat of seeds and cuttings, from Beirot, Syria. These articles had been collected by desire of the late Commissioner of Patents, Mr. Holt, through the agency of his friend, Rev. Dr. Barclay, who, by his position and knowledge of the Holy Land, wes well qualified for the task. The assortment is composed of varieties of wheat, barley, grape cuttings, olives, scions of fruits, and vegetable products. The cuttings, sctons, &c., will be sent to the new propagating houses for experiment and increase, and no distribution will be made of the remainder until fall. Among the interest- ing plants may be mentioned the Lessaban. It is believed by many that the crown of thorns was plaited of the branches of this tree. It makes an excellent article for hedges, and thus bas a posi- tive value, independent of any such tradition Asa tree, it is very ornamental. There are also seeds of melon, squashes, &c.; camel's food, dates, walnuts, equal tothe English, and probably well adapted to the Middle and Southern States ‘The mais-tree is esteemed as medicinal, or rather prophylactic. The seeds sent were procured from the tree growing within the enclosure of the ancient temple of Solomon. It was not to be ex- pected that all these articles would arrive in good condition. The length ef the voyage at this season, with other circumstances, have caused the loss or death of a large proportion of them. But enough are left to yield a rich return for the moderate sum ($1,000) Invested in their purchase. As the cause of the failure of the germination of seeds sent from the Patent Office is a want of knowledge of persons as to the manner of sowlng them, the next Patent Office Report will contain some several directions on the subject. eg e Tur ALLeceD News From Txxas.—We re- gret to have to state that it is the general !mpres- sion of all here well informed in Texan affairs, that the news per telegraph from that quarter, published tn yesterday's Star, is likely to prove true. Thetwo so-called followers of The Man of Peace, charged with the instigation of the horrid crimes mentioned in the dispatch, are most de- termined and desperate characters in the estima- tion of the people of the State. Their whole career in Texas proves them to have been bent on trying the patience and forbearance of their fel- low citizens at large to their utmost capacity of endurance. Under the pretense of serving the cause of Christ, they have labored without scruple as to the means they employed, to build up an abolition political partyin the heart of a slave- holding communtty, availing themselves of asso- ciation with the only sympathizing materials at hand—outlaws and next to outlaws for their per- sonal crimes—and secret confederation with the Worst portion of the slaves within reach of their tampering Their movement is but another step forward of the march of Abolitionism, towards the “Irrepressible Conflict.’ That it tends to weaken the bonds of the Union all must realize who appreciate the fact that no community of freemen can be expected to submit to persistent mach!nations in their midst tending to the gene- ral insecurity of their property and the lives of their wives and children, even though the name of religion and tbat of civil liberty may be used as the cloaks under which to persevere in them =< Tux Executive Commirtess —Hon. Miles Taylor, of Louisiana, having returned to Wash- ington, the Douglas Executive Committee have fairly commenced their document distributing labors. Asan item of political literature, it may be stated they are preparing an edition of one bundred thousand copies of a tract entitled *Lin- coln and his Record.” The Breckinridge Ex ecutive Committee are preparing for extensive circulation an address on the territorial question and in opposition to the views of Judge Douzias. The Republicans are not idle as to the printing and distribution of campaign documents, while the Bell and Everett Committee are industriously employed in the dissemination of their own political light — Parent Orvice Decision. —Tbe Commissioncr of Patents has decided that it is not a compliance with the statute on the part of the offiee to refuse @ patent because the thing claimed as patentable bad been seen by an examiner of the office some twenty years before. Where such knowledge existed solely in the examiner, the party applying for a patent would have no means of forming a judgment except by an examination of the de- vice referred to. He is, therefore, entitled to be furnished with such !nformation in regard to its whereabouts 2s will enable bim to begin bis search for It with a reasonable prospect of success. —_—— Tue Treaty with Jaran.—The treaty of amity and commerce with Japan, the ratifications of which were exchanged when the Embassy were in Washington, is officially publishsd.

The recent Otumwa and ei spay murders are fresh in the oublic mind. Here is another piece of brutality: The Oskaloosa Herald says a worthless scotndrel named Hall, living “near ‘Vallyrand, Keokuk county, treated his wife with fiendish cruelty a few days since. She had been teaching school to maijntsin the family. Without her knowledge he drew ber wages, then beat her, took from her every article of clothing, and with a cord tied her bands and feet, and left ber in that condition. He then burned every particle of her wearing ap- rel, and left her naked and tied, to escape as best she might. Her cries soon brrought assist- ance and relief, but the fiend had fled. f PROSPECT HILL CEMETERY.—No- Tick —Under the charter lately granted by ‘Ongress, the proprietors and subscribers to the stock of this Company will hold a general meeting on MONDAY EVENING, July 30, at 8 o'clock, in German tall, 1ith st..to which the attendance of all members ‘and friends of the enterprise is re qui d.

Jr Tux Tornado 1x Onto.—The tornado of Sat- urday last in the vicinity «f Cleveland, O., is des- cribed as very devastating in its consequences The track of the storm was about quarter of a mile wide, and its known extent about two miles. The following facts tn Sarto the csc —. athered froin the statements of passengers 01 Sieveland and > mere gan whieh arrived in Cleveland Saturday night: ‘The first serious danger done was to the dwel- ling of a Mr. Mason, about a mile from the sta- tion. This house was blown down and Mrs. Mason so badly injured that she cannot live. Het limbs were ‘ingly brokem; and her body mangled. The storm then passed !n @ southeast direction, taking in its course a body of woods on both sides of the railroad track. Hére the trees were torn up by the roots and twisted off, as if lightning. The raflroad track was covered wit! trees and trunks The tornado rushed into the s:ttlementabout the depot. Here were the station house, a strong built frame house, two groceries. one adjoining the depot, and the other across the track and near by, and a dwelling bouse where Jeremiah Galvin, an employee of the road, lived with bis family. A cbild of his had been out berrying and as the rain clouds came up, Mrs. Galvin took an umbrella and went out to meet it and bring it home. They bad almost resched the house on their return when the tornado came up. and either a raif ora large limb borne fu- riously along by the gale, struck Mrs. Galvin on the right side of the head, erushing out one of her eyes, and instantly killing ber The house was now strock and blown to pieces; as was the rocery near by. Then the station honse was at- Cixed ona in the twinkling of an eye it was razed to the ground, with not a timber or a stone left upon one another to show where a moment before it had stood. Its destruction was most complete and perfect. The timbers were scat- ter far and wide, and the foundation stones were torn one from another and thrown about like toys ANOTHER METEOR Ssxn.—A correspondent of the Philadelphia Inquirer, of the 25th, says: “At isely twenty-seven minutes ten o'clock Ent night, I called the attention of severs! friends, sitting with me out doors, where the whole heav- 8 were visible ta the only cluster of small dar! rp edged, streaky clouds on the “Milk Mai Path,’’ due south and immediately to the right and onaline with Mercury (the evening star), saying, look at that little bunch of clouds, how very dark they are, how sharp the edges, and at that instant a meteor shot out from behind them, at first resembling a shooting star of the highest order, and took a northwesterly direction; increas- ing in size and brilliancy, its flery tail growing wider and longer as it advanced on its direct course, comparatively towards the spot where the meteor of the 2Uth inst. first made its appearance, tili about one-third the distance, when, with a fiash.it separated into many bright parts, resemb- ling the boring of a huge rocket, high in the air, und was seen no more. I have mentioned this factto several, and they seem to think it might have been a meteor of the same kind as that of the 20th 17~ A most praiseworthy and remarkable pres- Ppl glerseg ates exhibited on Monday, the i6th inst . by a daughter of Mr. McLane, our Minister to Mexico. It appears that near Mellonsyille, on the Boston and Roden railroad, the horses of a carriage driven by Mr. Bayard Milligan, of New Orleans, and containing besides bimsrif, three ladies (Mrs. Milligan and the Misses McLane, of Hudson,) took fright. and in trying to restr.in them that gentleman was thrown out with great violence. ‘The situation wasn perilous one; but with rare presence of mind, ove of the Miss:s McLane seized the reins and sveceeded in bring- ing the horses to a_stand at a distance of about a mile from the spot where the accident occurred, Mr. Milligan was found to have been severely in- jured, receiving a compound fracture of the leg and a punctured wound from a spike, which pen- trated the thigh to the depth of several inches, wounding some of the large arteries. He was re- moved without delay to the country seat of his uncle, Mr. McLane, where he was visited In a few hours by Dr. J. M.
