THE PRESIDENT to-day sent to the Senate th names of 73 midshipmen to be ensigns in the Davy, and 70 ensigns to be masters in the navy. Maerers E. D. F, Heap and F. H. Delano have been detached from signal duty at Wash- ington, D. C., and ordered to duty in the Pacitic fleet. Joun C, Kernepy, Esg., one of the oldest and most esteemed members of the"Washington bar, is urged for the position of additional Judge of the Supreme Court of the District of Colum- bia. THE Porice Court Jupersntr.—Gener&l R D. Mussey, 8. R. Bond, late Water Registrar under Bowen, and J. H. Johnson, late Justice of the Peace, are among the applicants for Judge of the Police Court for this city. Mrs. N. L. Jevrrres and daughter, of this city, sailed for Europe yesterday. They expect to be absent about a year, during which time Miss J., who is said to possess rare talents in that direction, will perfect herself in musical studies. British Empassy.—The committee of the British House of Commons, investigating the diplomatic service of Great Britain, were yes- terday informed by Lord Clarendon that the government had reason to believe that the United States was about to raise its mission to England toone of the tirst rank, and that the courtesy must be reciprocated by the establish- ment of any embassy at Washington in lieu of the present mission. REORGANIZATION OF THE INTERNAL Reve- NUE BuRgav.—Mr. Sehenck, from the Com- mittee on Ways and Means, reported in the House to-day a bill to reorganize the Internal Revenue Bureau. It proposes to make the bu- Teau a separate department of the government, with the Commissioner as the head, at a salary of $8,000 per annum. It also provides for an assistant commissioner, solicitor, dc., assessor, collectors, &c. No ADMISSION EXCEPT ON THE ORDER OF THE SEcRETARY.—Secretary Boutwell this morning issued the following order to all heads of money bureaus in the Treasury Department: TREASURY DEPARTMENT, Office of the Secre- tary, June 22, 1870.—Sir: The recent loss of twenty thousand dollars from the Treasury fur- nishes a fit 0} pope! —, and bepr yal a rule by which ail persons, not members mn- iva of the administration, shall be excluded Eom the rooms in which meney is received, as- sorted or kept, except upon the written ‘mis- sion of retary of the Treasury. { there- fore have the honor to request that you will take such steps as may be necessary to secure the observance of this rule. Very respectfully, Gxo. 8. BouTWRLL, Secretary. Tne Crow Inpians FrignpLy.—From the Pick and Plow, Bozeman city, Montana, of the 3d inst., we learn that Major E. M. Camp (sta- tioned atthe Depot here during the war) had come in trom the Yellowstone Mission, and re- ports the Crow Indians very peaceable and friendly, and well satistied with the way affairs are managed at the agency. INTERNAL REVENUE.—It is thought at the revenue office that the receipts of internal revenue for the present tiseal year, now near its close, will reach at least one hundred and eighty millions. which is considerably above the estimate made by the Secretary in his anual report, und which will exceed by far any return which has ever yet been made. Tue SovTuERN Paciric Raitroap.—The Howard bill, 647, as amended by Senator Car- penter and others last Monday evening, provid- ing for the construction of the Southern Pacific Kuilroad on a line due west from Vicksburg, is again made the special order for this evening, and will doubtless pass without material amend- ment. It provides for and insures the constrac- tion of the entire line through to the Pacitic at the earliest possible period. A large number of the most (eto eros | — aud experi- enced ratiroad men in the country have selected as corporators, and the Alabama and Chattanco.a, the Vicksburg and Meridan, and the North Louisiana Kailroads are authorized to connect with and form part of the line. These three companies have been consolidated and now own and control some six hundred miles of road from Chattancoga,Alabama,to the eastern boundary of Texas, and employ at the present time over six thousand men. The Sen- ate Pacific Railroad Committee have evidently considered the matter well. The pending bill contains every reasonable precautionary provi- sion, and will doubtless = both houses this session, so that the work of construction may be commenced immediately. SUBMARINE CABLE Companres.—in the Sen- ate, this morning, Mr. Sumner, from the Com- mittee on Foreign Kelations, reported a bill to facilitate telegraphic communication between the United siates and Belgium. It names as corporators Robert Squires, Lyman Tremaine, Erastus Corning, Jr., Isaiah Blood, Hiram Bar- ney, Geo. W. » J. H. aa Geo. Har- rington,W. ©. Barney, Joseph J. Bartlett, John L. Merriam, and James B.

A Gala Day_The K hts_The Tilt- Ung—The Successful Knight_Choos- ing the Queen and Maids of Honor— The Coronation—The Ball. (Special correspondece of The Star.} LavreL, Mp., June 21, 1870.—This was a gala day for the residents of Laurel and vicinity, and the usually quiet town, (incorporated during the last session of the Legislature.) as the hour approached for the tournament to commence, was all bustle, while, during the “tourney,” most if not all the business places were closed. The tournament took place this afternoon in a beautful grove just south of the town, and about four o’clock there were present several hundred Tsons, including Representatives from Wash- ington and Baltimore, and the array of beauty has seldom been excelled in this section of the pao # Among other gentlemen well known in Washington, w! i hoe were Mr. Wm. Flinn, Henry ‘Lovejov, David Walker, Judge Lander, Col. J. L. Smith, C. C. Tucker. The knights having arrived, as also the officers; and the orator of the day, Col. Florence, having sent word that in = of indisposition he was unable to attend, it was determined to commence riding forthwith. Messrs. H. Love- joy, W. Flinn and C. 8. Duvall were a commit- tee of ata; Dr. DeWilton Snowden acted as , With Lewis Jenkins and Chas. Dorsey as aides, and Frank A. Smith and Willie Harbin heralds. The stand was occupied by Col.
