SHERIDAN’S OCEAN RIDE. Little Phil's Foot on His Mative Shore Again. His Views About the Franco-Prussian War—Ar- rival of Mrs, Abe Lincoln and Her Son Thad—The Cruise of the Bronx. For some days past the authorities at the Custom House have been exceedingly agitated apropos of the expected arrival of General Sheridan from Europe. The telegraph bas been busy between Collector Murphy's ofiice and the signal station at Sandy Hook, conveying tatelligence and surmises as every suspicious sail came in view. The cause of this exceeding anxiety on the part of General Grant’s rep- resentative was a rumor to the effect that Tammany meditated a grand coup in the capture of the gal- lant General, with the obyect of gaining his adhesion to the proposed canuidature of Sherman. In order to defeat this diabolical plot of the Sachems, Col- lector Murphy and his crowd of custom ofictals were kept in a state of intense excitement, which was only allayed when they had secured the general. Tho day before yesterday Collector Mur- phy and a number of friends went down to Sandy Hook TO MEFT THE RUSSIA, which was then due, but to their intense disappomt- ment the looked-for vessel did not arrive, and they were obliged to return to Gotham with the best pos- sible grace. In order to avoid similar misfortune to-day it was decided that the Bronx, which was to bear the Collector and his fortunes, should be held in readiness at the toot of pier No. 3 North river to :et out as soon as the arrival of the Russia at Sandy liook should be signalied. The utmost stricthess was useil to prevent tie embarkation of any one who had not received a pass from Collector Murphy, a precaution which kept @& number of loaiers away. At four o'clock Collector Murphy and & number of his personal triends arrived, aud in a few minutes after the fronx SHIPPED HER CABLES and started on the expedition. Among the gentle- men present we noticed Mr. T. Murphy, Col- lecior of the Port; A, H. Lafitn, Naval Officer; Colonel T, B. Thorp, H. W. Gourley, James Terwilleger, Spectal Deputy Collector: Orvill Grant, the brother of the President; Alderman Jerome, Genetal McIver, General Arthur, George Jones Tinney, Isaac BH.

Witn regard to the Issue of the War the General was very reticont, carofuily statiug that he Was neutral.
