During Thursday night the rain kept pouring down ever and anon, while the thunder, lightning flashes and excessive heat were still unabated. The morning of yesterday was stiil and gloomy. There was little sunshine, yet the atmosphere was con- densed with heat, which seemed to descend like steam from the vapory sky. At about half-past ten o’olock the cirrus-cumulus and cirrus-stratus could be seen shifting up from the horizon to the zenith, until, at eleven o'clock, the heavy mass of atmos- heric vapor burst upon the earth in torrents, ‘ew there were who expected the sudden down- fall to come 80 soon, and many there were, conse- quently, who felt the loss of umbrellas and water- proofs.

The Bloody Chasm Bridged by a Dish of Bivalves. Specches by the Sturdy Farmer and the Gallant Old Mariner. Our Country’s Greatness vs. a Love for Clams. Ryr Bracu, N. H., August 16, 1872, Mr. Greeley left Portland at an early hour this morning, accompanied by a committee of citizens “charged with the duty of conducting him to Ports- mouth, N. H. The committee consisted of Colonel Frank Jones and Messrs. J. B. Upham, Thomas Holden and J. H, Sanborn. The departure from Portland was quict, although it was as late in the morning as nine o'clock when the party reached the depot. A few Portlanders, who had not yet satisfied their patriotism or curtosity, loitered around the depot and took their last op- portunity of gazing upon the great man. But otherwise there was no boisterous or enthust- astic demonstration. The Sage quietly took his seat in the regular car, and soon was bounding along the rails towards Portsmouth. At Saco and at Bidde- ford there were small crowds awaiting the arrival of the Philosopher. At Saco one man, a hardy, honest-looking individual, went to the window where the honest white head reclined and said:— “Well, Uncle Horace, you're a devilish good-look- ing old fellow after all.” “Ab,” responded Uncle Horace, “I do not think that I am so fiendishly homely as some of the carica- turists would make me.” At Biddeford, just across the river, one man cried, “I wager $100 he’s your next President.” Another, with one arm, came forward and sald, “I fought for you and your teaching, and, by gin- ger! I’m going to vote for you!” At Kennebunk, a very meagre station, there were a@ few persons anxious to shake hands with the Chief, and a blind man, peddling apples, was heard to say that he would like to see the old man, which was evidently a hearty wish. At Wells, Ber- wick, Conway Junction and Elliott there were simt- lar demonstrations, THE ARRIVAL AT PORTSMOUTH. At about twenty minutes of twelve o'clock the | train came into the depot at Portsmouth. The mass of people awaiting him completely filled tne depot, and stood over fur into the streets beyond. At the carriages, half a block distant, the crowd became dense again, and at various prominent points along the route the crowds again increased. The people nad evidently taken station early in the day to await the spectacle at'the best coigns of van- tage. A passageway was cleared through the crowd at the depot with great dimiculty, the people assail- ing the person of Mr, Greeley with most violent attempts to shake him by the hand and to get near his person. As he entered the carriage—an open barouche, drawn by two bay and two gray horses— three times three cheers went up for the Farmer of Chappaqua. He was accompanied by Danicl Marcy, J.8,H. Frink and Francis Jones, the other car- riages being occupied by Mr.G. H. Jenness and other members of the committee, A SPLENDID PROCESSION. The procession, consisting of about twelve hand- some carriages, took up its line of march preceded by the United States Marine Band of the Ports- mouth Navy Yard, led by Harlow, all tn full unt- form, through Vaughan, Congress, Dantel, Middle and State streets, to the Rockingham Hotel, on the Tock. The beauty and chivalry of the aristocracy of Portsmouth were at the windows or on the streets, At Congress Hall, just as Mr. Greeley had arrived in front, a Greeley banner forty feet long was tung to the breeze amid the immense shouts of the concourse and the smiles of the Sage. Another was unfurled a few moments afterward at Daniel street, amid similar demonstrations. Many of the houses on the route were decorated with hand- some banners. At the Rockingham Hotel the porches were decorated with American flags and crowded with men and women, waving hats, hand- kerchiefs and banners. Mr. Greeley descended from the carriage and was recetved at the steps by the proprietors, and, amid great cheers, passed through the multitudes to the reception parlor. THE PHILOSOPHER'S SPRECH FROM THE PIAZZA. After a moment's rest he was escorted tothe piazza, and, on being introduced by Mr. J. 8. H Frink, spoke as follows :— FRIENDS AND FeLiow CrrizENs—An_ unfriendl: critic has suggested that in my passage throug! this State I have Hg Snag 4 reminded the people that I was a native of New Hampshire. I did speak of my birth here as a reason why I was so greeted and honored within your borders; not as a ground of exultattion or pride on my part, for, fellow citizens, my carly recollections attach me fondly to my native State. In the period of fifty to sixty years, when I was . child in New Hampshire, I knew her people bety.r than Ican claim to know them to-day. I recollect that the scenes and inci- dents of their great Revolutionary struggle were still vividly remembered by the older portion of the people; that King George II]., against whom these people made their Je aie tl gallant strugyle, still lived and reigned through most of that decade, and something of personal bitterness, mingled with their memories of their fight with that perverse, narrow-minded, wrong-headed ruler. I remember, too, that at the gatherings of families around some neighbor's fireside they used to sing ballads of the Revolution like “American Taxation,” whereof the length was out of all proportion to the depth and the patriotism very far more prominent than the poetry. I remember, too, somewhat of the men of that period, for John Stark, the hevo of the Ben- nington fgnt was living at Amoskeag Falls, on the Merrimack—he who told his men on | the eve of that fight that if they did not prove better, man to man, than the twenty- tive dollar a head Hessians before them, then Mollie Stark would sleep a widow that night. And about that old veteran gathered regularly each re- curring Fourth of July and other patriotic occa- sions a considcrable but annually decreasing band of veterans to renew their recollections of that fight. Beside him in our good old town of London. derry lived my mother’s uncle, Colonel George Reed, who by faithful serving throughout the Revo- lutionary war had earned and secured the esteem and confidence of George Washington, of whom he was @ passionate admirer. believe that New Hampshire vred fewer demagognes while the colonial government was still tolerable and few tories when the time had come to resist British tyranny than any of her sisters in that day. Daniel Webster was the rising man of New Hfamoshire, but Lag yet the leader of her Bar, for Jeromiah Mason still re- | tained his residence at Portsmouth, having not yet taken his departure for the broader field offered by the Boston Bar; nor had Jeremiah Smith concluded brilliant and useful career at the Bar of Exeter. Fellow citizens, among those I cherish most and | love most are the recollections of my mother and | of those dear to her, and, therefore, dear to me; and, through whatever changes of fortune, I have never forgotten the land of my birth, Lum sure you will pardon the weakness, if such it can be of one who hag never ceaacd to be proud of the State of his nativity, and, I trust, has never given her reason to be ashamed to call bim her son. 1 will no longer tax your attention, At the conclusion of this speech the Philosopher retired to the reception parlor again, where he was warmly greeted by @ number of distinguished gen- tlemen. ON TO RYE DRACH. He took dinner at the Rockingham, and at about half-past one o'clock the party took open carriages | and drove to Rye Beach, a delightful ride of about | eight miles, over a pleasant road apd amid hand- some scenery. The procession comprised tem carriages, filled with a distiaguished company, and was preceded by the United States Band in a huge stage. All along the route there were small ova- tiona from the smaller farmers living on tho rond, At the entrance to Rye Beach some of the private cottages were handsomely decorated, while the larger hotels, like the Sea View, the Ocean, the Surf and the Farragut, were gorgeously arrayed in bright and breezy bunt- ing. Atthe Ocean Honse the procession halted, and Mr. Greeley presented himself for a moment in the reception parlor, where a hasty handshaking took place. Thence the party proceeded to the residence of Mr. G. H. Jenness, a private cottage, where the Philosopher is to remain as @ private guest. During the first hour or two of his arrival he was ” waited opon by & number of distinguished men from Mississippi, Georgia. and other Southern States sojourning for the summer at this pleasant resort, It had been arranged some days ago that a OLAMBAKE SHOULD BE TENDERED the famous Philosopher near the Farragut House. Accordingly, at about four o'clock, the liberal leader and his company drove down again, accompanied by music, to this fine hotel. The whole piazza was crowded with flags, and ita whole population was assembled about the grounds. The Philosopher was received by the Hon. A. B. Stoughton, of Washing- ton, D. C., who cordially tendered him the hospitality and welcome of the neighborhood, and hoped that he might enjoy a pleasant stay on the beach, IN REPLY, MR. QREELBY SAID:— T wish, ladies and gentlemen, it were true that [had laid aside all my cares and duties for a brief sojourn at this pleasant resting place. [should be very grateful if circumstances enabled me to do as you are doing, as the yearnings of Sun enn eet seem to require that I should do, I wish I could rest at the seashore as you are now doing. Even to-day, while I linger here, I leave duties undone that ought not to be neg- lected. I did hope that this Summer would bring te me what no Presidential Summer ever yet. brought. [hoped that, instead of an increase of labors, the present Summer would witness a dimi- nution of them. In giving up journaliam I find that other and more pressing duties compel me to go here and there, To tell the truth, I have no relax- ation, no rest. It has been said bya greater man than I that we have all eternity to rest in, and I will do what seems incumbent On me, hoping and expecting no rest just at present, As [am here only for an liour of ease and peo eeting, I Dow cease from taxing your patience urthor, At the conclusion loud cheers from the men and hearty applause from the ladies, among whom are number of New York belles, greeted the hardy farmer, and he departed a once for the clam bake, which was set ina pleasant grove a few hundred yards from the hotel. MERTING AND EATING WITH ROBESON. Here a surprise awalted the hero of the white hat, for who should he see coming to greet him but the Secretary of the Navy, George M. Robeson, in propria persona. The two smiled im- mensely as they recognized each other, and then they shook hands together, and then they sat down to the clam-bake together. Mr. Frank Thompson presided. Mr Greeley occu- pied a seat near the middie, Secretary Robeson sat Bear him, Mr. Charles Levi Woodbury on the other hand and the rest of the company where they could. The menu comprised a surprising variety of clams— clams baked, clams fried, clam fritters, clam chow- der and clams everywhere, An interested group stood about the significant clam caters, watching the way in which a probable President and an ac- tual Secretary of the Navy masticated the dainty bivalves. They seemed to do {t in perfect accord. They had evidently shaken hands across the bloody chasm so far as eating clams could enable them to do so, The weather was threatening and a slight shower came up while the clam eaters were at work; but, as the lusty Woodchopper and the bold mariner both knew they were not sugar and salt and would not melt, they stuck courageously tothe clams despite the rain, The shower soon ceased; then the flow of reason commenced. Mr, Charles Levi Woodbury proposed the health of Mrs. Philbrick, the hostess, who had-gotten up the en- tertainment for them, and, after paying her a neat compliment, called upon Mr. Robeson for an ex- preasion of his sentiments. The Secretary was not 80 thoroughly prepared as he might have been, and ‘was somewhat unduly impressed with the tmpor- tance of the occasion and the significance of the situation, and he made a speech perhaps rather solemn for the occasion, but such as it 1s you have tt. SECRETARY ROBESON’S REMARKS, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN—Your dis ished guest is agiative of New Hampshire, while I myself am 8 stranger, scoking hore what f cannot find at home. Nobody fails to recognize the greatness which I claim for our common country. Jt sprin, from the sall and from the regions that lic around; from her rock bound coast, her rugged mountain sides; from her quiet farms and busy villages. New England has made her impress on every commu- nity. Her sons are found making the {mpress of their character, conduct and usefulness, and wherever they are found their infuence is felt, and felt for h rosie all the channels of our country, All litical questions which have agitated our country in the past and will agitate it in the future are of a character to challenge the attention of mankind. Ifa country ia to succeed—to keep even pace with its fellows—it must practice those virtues. which make homes happy. To produce is honor, and the principle must be recognized that labor of every kind shall have social and political power. The sons of New England illustrate to the country and to the world the fact that the secret of American success Is to be found in the spirit of American government. That is the lesson which New England gives to the country, and her sons illustrate that their spirit is the spirit of Prpsrees, their success the fruits of their industry; but, friends, of course I cannot make a long speech nor a particular one, for it is necessary, under the circumstances under which we etand, that I should deal only with broad principles. During this speech Mr. Greeley sat leaning back in his chair, with his white hat in his lap, indus- triously studying the maker’s label inside, but he did not close his eyes or nod once during the period of its delivery. A round of cheers greeted the bold mariner when he concluded, and the cry rose for “Greeley."" The people on the distant piazzas of the hotels heard the cry, and, having just drank in the music of his golden words, hastened from all sides to the dinner table in the hope of another draught, MR GREELEY'S REPLY. Mr. Greeley rose slowly, and, with a quizzical look, said :— Mr. CHAIRMAN, LADIES AND GENTLUMEN—It 18 one of the most striking exhibitions of human per- versity that if individuals agree on nineteen propo- sitions out of twenty, if you bring them together they will venture on no discussion relative to the nineteen, but will at once be locking horns on that one proposition. I understand watering piaces to have been established and con- structed to overrule and disregard this perversity. Whiie my distinguished friend on my left and I are somewhat at variance on the more important ques- tions of the country, we find ourselves in perfect accord on the subject ofclams. We are here, then, together to illustrate and to emphasize that accord. Clams unite us in delightful intercourse, where we need only a little more Reg surroundings of weather. While we recognize no discord, we will, if you please, dispense with oratory and dis- cuss clams. As he sat down cheers and laughter rose from the assembled crowd, and Mr, Rebeson offered Mr. Greeley a few more steaming hot clams in token of continued accord. Mr.Greetey kindly | took a few more in compliment to the sentiment, and the clam party at once broke up. Mr. Greeley returned to the cottage of Mr. Jenness, where to-night he hetd a very brilliant reception. To-morrow Mr. Greeley visits some ob- jects of interest in this neighborhood, and at twelve o'clock takes the train at North Hampton for Boston, where he will. arrive in the afterngon, taking the evening train. again for New York and home on Sunday morning. The tour of two weeks has somewhat jaded the Philosopher in body, but in physical health he is better than ever, and if the. political success. of his tour is to be counted:as anything he is much better mentally. As wit® the great Rhode Island clam- bake he began the tour that gave birth te, his now famous Portland manifesto, so with the great Greeley: Robeson clambake he ends it, GERMANY. ; rf “Petroleum Discovered in Southesstern Prussia.

Newronrr, R. 1, August 16, 1872, ‘The cruise 80 far bas proved a decided success, and it would be hard to bring together a more beautiful feet or more perfect samples of the higher branch of naval architecture than are now lying in Newport harbor. This morning the dif- ferent crews on board the yachts were kept pretty busy making preparations for the race for the Commodore's Cup, and, judging from the number that had their mainsails and foresails set, a large entry appeared likely. The littlo cat boats were In great requisition, and had large parties of ladies and their escorts on board, whom they were taking out to witness the start. The little schooner Eva was THE FIRST To.

There was to be no time allowance in this race based upon length, beam and tonnage, but the yachts were handicapped according to their previous performances, The handicappers were Messrs. G. L.

The first whistie blew at 11h. 24m. 808,, and the starting signal at 11b. 34m. 308. THE YACHTS CROSSED THE LIND as follows:— THE START. The wind was light from the south-southwest and the tide about the last of the ebb,. The Viking was the first boat tocome up to the line, and she attracted considerable attention, as this was her maiden race and there was diversity, of opinion as to how she would go. She crossed the line on the port tack with matinsat!, foresail, jib, fying jib, main club topsail and small working foretopsail. The Tidal Wave crossed a few seconds before, on her weather quarter under the same canvas, sub- stituting small main gad topsail for the club topsail. Following came the Columbia with big club topsail and jib topsall set, about fifty yards to windward of the Magic, which also had a club topsail up.’ The Reso- lute came up on the starboard tack, and, by bad management, went in stays while crossing the line. The Foam came next, @ little to leeward of the Eva. The Foam, wanting to get clear of the Resolute, gave & good full and passed her to lee- ward.
