Tae storms were more severe than has taken place for a number of years. So far as heard trom, none of the light-bovses were in any way injaved. ‘Tue AcTIVITY IN THE Navy Yarps.— Prominent officials of the navy explain the re- ported activity in several of the eastern navy yards by saying, that towards the Iast of Mr- Jobnson’s administration many needed repairs of the principal vessels were neglected, and at present the department is using the limited means at its disposal to put the few ships for the various squadrons in first-rate order. Economy IN THE Post Urrice Derarr- MEBT.—It will be remembered that at the last session of the Fortieth Uongress, Postmaster General Randall reported an e:timated defi- ciency in the appropriations for the Post Office Department for the fiscal year ending June %0, 1862, of $3,700,000. The accounts for the year baye been closed, and Postmaster General Creswell exbibits an unexpended balance of this appropriation of $1,590,000. THE U. S. STZAMER TaLLaroosa, which ‘was to bave left the Navy Yard last evening tor New York, with Admiral Poore on board, was detained on account of a slight accident to & portion of her machinery. Workmen were busily engaged last night in making the ne. cessary repairs, and it is expected she will be ready to leave here thisevening w.th Admiral Poore, who will soon sail from New York iu the Powhatan for the West Indies. The Tal- lapoosa will return here in a few days wiih the spars for the steamer Nipsic, for which she gocs to the N A NW PLAN FoR THE DRaiwace or THE Crry.—The City Sarveyor, Mr. P. H. Donegan, makes several suggestions which are worthy of due consideration by our City Fathers, He says that all the streams of water which flow mito the city from the hills north of us can be intercepted and carried through calverts tothe Eastern Branch and Rock Creek, which would Tequire no deeper cutting below the established grades than is required for an ordinary sewer. The waters of the streams west of 14th street flowing into the city cam be comveyed into Rock Creek, and those east to the Eastern Branch, and by this means the expense of keeping in repair numerous bridges and arch img the water courses would be saved, aud much land which is now useless weald be re- claimed. It would tiso affect the plans mitted for the improvement of the canal, much as the Tiber would be one o! the streams cut off, and it would render the work of arch- ing that stream from Pa. avenue to Indiana avenue unnecessary. By throwing the waier into Roek Creek and the Eastern Branch their volume will be increased, and the navigation of those streams imprdved. WHISKY AWD TOBACCO FRavps.—The list of seizures” reported at the Interval Revenue Bureau yesterday includes the names of one hundred and twenty Arms, and, as usual, most of them were engagea ia the whisky or to- bacco business. Among the list was the name of Hupfel & Co., proprietors of an extensive brewery in New York city. Special attention is being paid just now to brewers, many of ‘whom are supposed to be carrying ona fraud- ulent business, especially im the vicinity of - New York. The bureaa has under considera- tion a number of propositions for the compro- mice of several important cases, inyolying & Jarge amount of alleged fraudulent transac- tious ia whisky and tobacco, which implicate anumber.ot prominent capitalists aad poli- ticians of both parties in al! sections of the country. For the benefitof the Governmen’, and for the purpose of securing the greatest amount of revenae tothe Treasury, it is not improbable that in many cases the proffered compromises will be accepted. ComMissiongE DELANO leaves hore this eve- ning for @ visit tohis home in Obio, aad will be absent atout ten days.
