Mann's majority in Mobile county, #0 far aa heard from, is 1,459; several precincts tobe heard from. The county will probably gtve 1,800 majority for Mann. Advices from Court House, Baldwin county, state that @ negro mob took possession of the polls, beat one white man badly, and prevented any demo- cratic negro from voting.

Visit of President Grant to the United States Disiriet Attorney's Office. The news published in the HeRALn yesterday of the seizure of thirty Spanish gunboats, by Marshal Barlow's orders, ts at present the great topic of talk tn Cuban and Spanteh circles, Io the latter the affair mot with the mogt unqualified’ denunciation, snd Uncle Sam, nephews and all, were most heartily damned in the purest and most vigorous terms of the Oastilian diatect, In Cuban circies the aforesaid Uncle was applauded much beyond his deserts, ana in his action toward old Mother Spain, hia recent course toward the patriot band, led by Don Carlos Ryan, was utterly forgotten—forgotten so far that the interpretation was generally accopted that a change of foreign policy was inaugurated and @ new line of neutrality entered upon. Under this bappy delusion the Cuban Junta had an extraordinary and lnformal meeting yester- aay, whereat Marshal Barlow's action underwent discussion and had various constructions put upon It, foremost of which was that the administration, influenced by popular opinion, and anxious to re- cede from tts posttion of partiality to Spanish power and pretension, bad made the firat move towards lending @ helping hand to the struggling Cuvans and of weakening the resources of their adversary. General Joy might be said to animate the Cuban countenances on the street, and no doubt seems to exist among those who know a little of the feeling in the councila of the junta that another entorprise will soon spring into exist. ence towards alding the patriots or the ‘Ever Faith- ful Iale.” Marshal Barlow, it is presumed, will act gles strict and severe part; will, perhaps, in the phrase of common parlance, ‘‘keep his weathor eye shut’ when the next Glibustering expedition gow under way. Altogether, the Cubans are delighted that Spain ts deprived of her thirty gunboats. The Spaniards, however, think this government the moat singularly managed institution on tne face of the globe, and pronounce its course in reference to these gunboats nothing short of vulgar outrage, which no nation professing to enligntened ADTRAInE: ance with international law would be ity ot The Spanish organ, £ Cronisia, calls the pro- jing an ‘anmitigated villany, an interference without justifioation or explanation, with a matter of perfectly legitimate aracter which has the sanction of precedent here and which is allowed in eer country of pe. Marshal Barlow says that he acted on the strength of a despatoh received from the State Department, informing him that these gunboats were tntended to operate against our republican ally Peru, and by virtue of the authority conferred pon: him jointly with Judge Pierrepont, he seized the veasels, aud now holds them at the aiscretion of the govern- ment. He nas not, however, tnterfered with the ogress of bullding the boats, nor does he intend to take any further action beyond the notification to Messrs. Delamater, Poillon and Stack that the boats caunot be allowed to leave the harbor of York with hostile tatentions to Peru. Yesterd: men were busy in the shipyard of C. & K. Poil- lon, of Brooklyn, on the Kast river, working away upon four of the gunboats lying on the stocks, Two of them were skeletons, with thelr stout, strong riba of oak just about to recetve the exterior clothing of locust wood; the other two were finished, so far as the mere outalde is concerned. The whole order to Messrs. Poillon was to build ten boats, and having put up their achooner rigging and copper fastentngs to send them around to the lamater Works on tne North river, foot of Thirteenth street, to get their machinery aud joiner work putin. Six boats were sent from Poillon’s ee for this pur and four remain behind, None have received the benefit of @ christening—no long Spauish names illuminate their sterns—they are simply designated by num- bers, beginning at number one.

This morning, in the still hours, more ‘tolomn here among the epg hills oe in a crowded city, they — arrivé bed at once thoy went, At half past o'clock —- Vaptain Wiison, with what documents he cailed bis boat, and with his frank pilot were rowed from Newark to tue village, Winstow and Christie expected them, aud with becoming dignity, yet discontented spirits, smoked their Clare and lounged under the cooling shade of friendly trees near the hotel on the main street. They did not wait long. The glittering uniform of Captain Wilson’s oom- panion soon denol to them that ‘per ment” they were on hand, and not far away was their vessel, representing bereaved nationality, Close consultation followed. Strangers in such # group in acountry village at all tunes attract attention, and the few passersby turned and looked, but forgot them in au justant as they muttered, ‘‘Oniy yacht- men on @ cruise.” Singularly enough, at the same moment, Mr. Mallory, wie had been up to his ship- yard looking about attentively to note the progreas of the gunboats, had driven back to his office and just alighted, when, as old Cato, his horse, who has taken him over the same familiar grouud more than a score of years, turned to seek the shade of the trees under which Captain Wilson and his “{riends’’ were earneatiy oe discussing some abstruse point regarding their line of conduct. He noted also the roup with his agi eyes. Raising them and disten his genial face he inquirea: — “What strangers are these; do you know?” “No, sir,” returned hia companion, “but kind 0? Guess them’s yachimen, on ¢ little bum.’ “ Ab, it may be, but I thought that uniformed fel- low looked like an officer of some kind. Soon after Mr. Mallory was better aoquainted with him, a3 the sequel will prove. In this animated conversation Captain Wilson, Marshala Winsiow and Christie, with the pilot, for a while continued, whon they took up the line of march for the shipyard of Messra. Hill & Grinnell. Here they inspected the three gunboats still on the stocks, almost ready for iaunching, remaining but a few minutes. Thence they jour- neyed to the yard of Messrs. Greeman & Oo., where they also luspected the two vessela on the stocks. From this a ney catied at Maliory’s yara, and then repaired to his office, where for aiew minutes the oid gentleman was confronted with— “1s this Mr. Mallory “Yes, air.’? “We have come,” 6] yn on deputy ke Captain Wilson, “to see private busin but of @ public nature, mntlemen aro Messrs, Winslow aud Christie, Mmarauals, Can’t we retire? this the group retired to an toner room, where @ conversation, not loud but earnest, was maintained for fully thirty minutes. Emerging from bia rooms with the ofilclal ge Mr. Maiiory, with that peoultar smile distending bis lips for which he is famous, handed his clerk a letter with “Put that in an envelope and mark it ‘public document.’"” There was but little more. ‘She sintling Chrisie and Winslow sought the hotel, bourne several cigars, and departed with Csptain Wilson about elevea o'clock. Perhaps they are now fraternizing treely ou board the Campbell. But Mr. Mallory was troubled.. He did not seem satisfied, and in answer to one or two interroga- tortes made by ummediate friends appeared to avoid auswering, assuring them “It is only some private Leriesnd up here looking out for certain tateresia; it’s nothing.’ Subsequently, when convinced that roticenco wouid longer be of but little avail, he detailed the “ourdel tus griei’’ in the conversation with the marshals in his. private office. It was represented by them that, by order of President Grant and au- thority veated tn them by Marshal Bariow, of New York, they were present to seize and detain the fifteen gunboats of which he had control, believing that they were intended to act against Peru—a gov- ernment at war with Spain—and when asked for their authority by him he was hauded tue following document:— Oxcrep States Mansmat’s og) BourTaERN Disteicr or New You ew YoR«, August J, To Deputy Marshals Cunrett and WiNt.ow :— { herevy direct and euthorize 7% a President and by virtue o! the. auth vanorliy in_me veated to en- force the nautraiity laws, to proceed to Mystic, Conn, and seize and devain tiiteen vessels there building for the Spanish government, They are seized for ® violation of the neutratlty laws, in that they are intended for use against Peru.

The great heat prevents close approack to ascertain minor particulars, but the strects ave full of rumors of lives lost by falling walls. The stores destroyed were considered to be entirely fire- proof, baving iron doors and shutters. There were eighteen inch walls betweon cach of the eight storess. but they burned almost as if made of wood. The burning whiskey ran into the sewers, causing explosions and great panic among tne specta- tors, which was not lessened by reports thas the buildings contained powder, saitpetre, &c.
