Williams and Martin were prisoners under arrest. and notin the House, but detaimed in another room. Much excitement was created on Tuesday by the hearing of the applicatuon by this same Mr. Williams. member of the House, wader arrest for conterapt, for a discharge under a writ of habeas corpus. The court-room was thronged. The Sergeant-at-arms ef the House made an answer to the writ that the person was in the custody of the House; thathe had been instructed by that body to retain under arrest the petitioner and other members. The application was made on the ground thatthe ouse had no quorum, 2nd could not compel attendance until ithad. The prisoner's coun- sel moved for a writ of attachment to compel the presence of Oaptain Heydt and the pris- oner before the court. This motion was argued against at length by the United States Attor- ney Harrison. Jodge Grantand Mr. Collier responded in lengthy speeches, The case was &journed over, and yesterday Judge Frazer decided against the Legislature in the case. The mass convention assembled in Frederick, Md., on Monday, was the largest popular gathering that ever occurred there at this sea- son ofthe year, and gives unmistakable evi- dence of the deep earnestness which pervades the minds and the hearts of the people. Reso- lutions were adopted, with great enthusiasm, Ga pg the restoration policy of President Jobnson, and the patriotic, national course of Governor Swann; approving the proposed Philadelphia Con vention; appointing delegates to the State Convention on the 25th instant; and authorizing appointment of delegates to the Philadelphia convention. Governor Brad- ford addressed the people for two and a half houre. in aspeech eloquent and full of infor- mation and cogent argument. At the convention of fire insurance presidents etc., held in New York, yesterday. one han- dred and fifty officers were present. and the States of New York, Mnssachusetts, Rnode Island, Pennsylvania, Obio, Linors. and Vir- ginia were represented, embracing a cap:tal of from twenty-five to thirty millions of doilars Resolutions were adopted looking to a reason- able advance in the rate of premium. A national board of underwriters was formed. The convention advanced their rates of in- surance to ten per cent. General Band. in New Orleans, has issued an order, in accordance with General Grant's order, for arrests only upon proper affidayits, and advises that actual arrests be deferred till properly investigated, unless there is manifest danger ofescape. General Sherman has been compelled to leave his present quarters and seek others near Jacksen Square. General Sherman has issued an order prohibiting the organization of Confederate batteries, brigades, &c.. for any purpose whatever.

The tendency of individuals affected by the extreme beatof the present time, isto an ex- cessive indulgence in cold drinks, without much reference to the quantity or quaility of the fluid they imbibe. So long as they can take acold drink « majority of the people care very litle what they drink; although phy- sicuans aud sensible people are aware that many people are annually killed by a too frequeut or injudicious use of cooling beverages during the heatedterm. For the benefit of our readers, we recently applied to an eminent physician for an opinion on the subject, and a preserip- tion that would most readily meet the require- ments of thirsty people during the warm weather. The doctor's sudden and emphatic ejaculation of “Ginger.” retieved us from the apprehension that he was about to enter upon alen y dissertation on the subject of “deaths from ‘tn overdose of ice- water,” ending w a prescription combining « dozen or more drugs, to be tuken as a subsutute for the popniar cool- ing draught said the doctor, “1 consider the article, most easily procured and Il persons to em) my have cold w ndance, and at the same time ayoid most i the il effects produced by the cool- ALOMINATIONS a great many people pour b their throats this hot weatner.? + ‘D Ts.” continued the physic ° ounces of powdered gin they are thirsty, let therm n the cold water they vonful of sugar or molasses is 5 ill dono har “Extract of gin- nly Also be employed by those who pre- article ina Huid torm.

GronokrowN PUBLIC SCBOOLS— Distribution of Wedais and Premiums. — Yesterday the Public Schools met ip their respective school houses and at 3 p.m. marched in procession with the Board of Guardians, and teachers, and the fine band of the 5th Cavalry, tothe New Market Hall, where arrangements had been made for the distribution of premiums and medais to the most deserving pupils for the scholastic year just closed. The Hall was densely crowded and the au- dience remained till the close of the exercises, notwithstanding the heat The exercises were conducted by G. W. Beall. Esq., President of the (?uardians, and were opened with prayer by Rev. P.H. Sweet. Dr. A. D. Gillette was expected to address the scbools, but illness prevented, aud the address was delivered by Kev. Dr. Samson, who ten- dered to the schools a scholarship in Columbia College to the most deserving pupil at the clese of the ensuing term. The premiums were distribnted to the schools ~ § the following gentlemen :—Mayor Addison, Y. H. Oraig, J. Marbury, Jr., Jenkin Thomas, RA. Shinn, Captain James Goddard. After the distribution of premiums the medal schol- ars were called up and received the handsome silver medals from the hands of A.
