The police of the Seventeenth ward obtained medica} easigtance, and he was brought toa state of conscious. nese, and sent to his home at No. 3 Leander place. 4 man named William Mason was also prostrated by the ‘heat at a quarter past three o'clock on the corner of Houston ‘and Columbia streets. He was taken toa drag store near ‘Dy and the proper restoratives applied. He recovered, ‘and was rent to his home in Williamsburg. About five o'clock, just as the storm was about break- ing, the thermometer in the Heratp office began to fall, and in fifteen minutes before the first shower burst forth the mercury went down from 90 to 74. About s quarter past five the wind commenced to play fad pranks with every light object mthe streets, The city was completely showered with dust, driven in flerce eleads in the eddying currents, almost blinding every Mving thing. For fifteen minutes this terri§c wind continued, driving everything before it, smashing Srail vigns, cutting up all sorts of capers with the ladies, ‘and revealing the prevailing styles, not only of gaiters, hosiery and garters, but perhaps of other garments be- ides. Shortly before six the storm burst forth in all Ke fury, completely detuging the city, and aiding most materially ‘Mr. Delavan in the good work which he is so efficaciously Performing. It was a ead inconvenience, however, to thoosands of our working classes, who about this hour are released, and have an opportunity in their walks home- ward to streteh their cramped limbs end breathe at least & pretencton to fresh air. Crowds huddled into the badly ventilated conveyances, paying farea which they could fil afford, either in a pecunt sry or eanttery point of view, while others were obliged to wait inthe stores and under awnings until the storm had ceased. The following are some of the inciden's of the storm which have resched ue:— It Ss reported that the abip Sardinia, which was lying at pier 50 East river, was driven from her moorings, and Went across the river to the first dock below the Navy Yard, where she ran into a schooner and carried away that veese)’s mainmest close to the deck. The ship pro- bably received but trifling damage. The Sound steamboat Connecticut had ju:t started up the East river when the storm commenced, and put into the Hook dock until it had blown over, The scaffolding surrounding the new Methodist church ateeple corner of Twenty-seoond street and Broadway, was roughly bandied by the gale, but only one board fell; that, hewever, created noise enodgh for the whoie pile. Tue fa Tooster which adorned the roof of the St. Nicholas, surmonvting a pole, was struck by a bolt of lightowg, the seneation being felt torough the whole house, ‘The pove apo liyotumg rods were shattered, and even the baro-rs, when shaving thet customers, were so affected by the elertrie finid that ‘hey narrowly escaped making apse modie pashes in their customers’ throats, ‘The lightning struck in Murton street, near Prince, shat terpy a hen The roof of the Morgan roa factory was blown off by the force of the gels, isnding near by, and the baildiog was eousiterebiy camsged by water.

A violent rain storm, accompanied by heavy thunder and vivid flashes of lightning, passed over this city yes- terday, occasioning considerable damage and a great deal of inconvenience to occupants of houses in low parts, many of whoee cellars were flooded and themselves oom. pelled to take refuge in the upper stories. The neighbor- hood of De Kalb, Hudson avenue and Navy street was fairly swamped. The water was running knee deep. ‘The collars were all filled, Residents of other parts of the city ‘were subjected to similar inconveniences, A large num- ber of fine shade trees were prostrated. There is hardly satreet in some sections of the city where one or more trees have not been progurated. One large tree in Baltic street’ was shivered by lightning. But as far as ascertained no serious damage resulted from ‘the lightning in any part of the city. Gowanus Bay was filled with small boata, but it is believed that most and it 18 hoped that all the parties contained in them reached the shore in safety. It is not known that any fatal accident occurred. MORNING EDITION—THURSDAY, JULY 14, 1859. PRICK TWO OENTS EFFECTS OF THE STORM IN WILLIAMSBURG AND GREENPOINT.

His allusion to ‘he manner in which the day was being celebrated at home by young and old—the representatives of thirty millions of freemen—contrasting “the pulsation of every heart in unieon of sentiment in free, happy, glorious America,” with the irregular, rapid and feverieh throb- ‘Ding of patriot hearts in other lands and under other rule, as evidenced by the struggles going on in the Old ‘World and the New, was given with thrilling effect.

Mr. McLane came down to receive his correspond- ence, which he supposed would come on typ fehuaute- pec Company’s steamer, as there is no steamer running to Vera Cruz at present. The Tennessee and Indianola wore both put into quarantine on their last trip, and itis sup- posed that that will determine their owners not to send them to Vera Cruz again. The Indianola tried the dodge of clearing at New Orleans for Minatitlan, in, tenaing to run to Vera Cruz, but to take all her papers from the Custom House at Minatitlan.

Senor Lerdo was then already with a mind in favor of the same object, and it was thought the two could carry all before them. The Progreso copied an article from the Heap on the subject of American intervention in Mexico, and endorsed it throughout, while the Ziforma published leading editorials daily in. favor of the ides. It was eettied, Mexican fashion, and Degotlado was selected Sesame an Miclateets. en 2 negotiate a special treaty. could only wait to pack bis tropk (an acquisition since he through this place), and he would be off. Mr. Degolladoand the Cabinet Were in thesecret and under: themselves. Ata wine party, where the general atulations were being ex- ged, the question came up, and Degollado said he wanted United States soldiers ‘commanded by reguiar officers. The conversation extended, and it was mentioned that Mr. Degoliado’s pian would not succeed, unless he chore to. wait until ‘ea aasembled, when it coud be brought before that ly and paesed into a Jaw, but otherwise there was no power to negotiate in the terms proposed by the Mexicen plenipotentiary at the wine pay: Degollado took fire and aaid he would have noth- ig elee, and as be could not get what be wanted, ho would not go.

In a conversa- tion with some rather radical Mexicans ia the Consular Office a dey or two since, he deciared empbatically that if a treaty was not made with him before Copgreas met, there would be ‘no Minister sent from the United Siates to Mexico; for,” suid he, ‘if we cannot tive happily as bat republics, the worst will have to come, sooner or ter.” ‘The long talked of conducts arrived at Vera Cruz, and the money is now bry 4 for shipment. Me, Mclave sent Capt, Farragut, of the Brooklyn, up to Julapa, and de- manded that the treasure belonging to Americans should ‘be allowed to pass. He algo asked that money for tho Germans should be sent forward. Robles gave in at once, tating that be never intended to stop the money beloug- Ing to Americans, but jonly that paibeaing 0 the English and French. Accordingly our portion ot the treasure was sent down, and after a little more lg. that belonging to the English and French was also liberated, but not until the admirals of both nations had emphatically declined Raving anything to do with it unless it came through Vera Crnz, The conduct of Mr. McLane in the matter is in very gtrovg contrast to that of the Engliah and French repre- sentatives, In the way of general newr,I have nothing worth re- Porting.
