RETURN OF THE NEW AMERICAN STEAM-SHIP
WASHINGTON TO SOUTHAMPTON.—The Ocean Steam
Navigation Company's steam-ship Washington, Frede-
rick Hewitt commander, arrived in the Southampton
Ducks yesterday morning (Sunday), at ten A.m., in 46
hours from Bremen, against a head wind. Her voyage
out occupied 44 hours. She brings four passengers for
England, and 46 en route to New York, for which city
the WashiNgton will not leave till the 10th of July,
being detained here to be fitted with new and larger hot
wells, which are already cast for her by arrangements
made previous to her leaving for Bremen. The passen-
gers from Bremen are to be boarded at the different
hotels during their detention. In order to enable the
public to view this fine steamer, Mr. Croskey, the Ame-
rican Consul, has very liberally presented the Mayor of
Southampton, Mr. Le Feuvre, with an unlimited number
of tickets of admission, the proceeds of which are to
be presented to the local institutions, In addition to the
passengers from Bremen, 60 first-class and 25 second-
class are engaged from Havre and England, and the
freight is all engaged. thus far the new line appears to
receive public approbation.
MONEY MARKET. Advices from Hamburgh to
the 22d inst. again report money more easy, the rate
having receded to 41 per cent. Owing to this circum-
stance, and to the supply of paper being limited, ex-
change had risen for three months' bills to 13 61. Ad.
vices from Riga, dated June 17, quote a considerable
decline in exchange (owing, it is to be presumed, to
further arrivals of silver, the price being 39id. to 39d.
Flax and hemp remained without change. In grain a
little more had been doing, and oat: were in demand.
The number of ships arrived was 1,535, of which 936
had sailed. From St. Petersburgh the dates are to the
14th of June, but they bring no quotation of exchange.
Corn was dull, with few transactions. The latest re-
port from the Amsterdam Bourse notices a rather firmer
market for Dutch and Portuguese Securities, both of
which had lately been more freely purchased. Spanish
was flat, owing to a cessation of active operations The
rate of exchange upon England quoted in letters from

THE BELIEF MEASURES.

DUBLIN, JUNE 26.—1 t appears that, fever anti dysen-
tery are much less prevalent in those districts where
meal and rice, properly cooked, are given out as ra-
tions ; but unfortunately a most unreasonable prejudice
exists in many places against cooked food, and forcible
opposition ha, been given in some places to those com-
mittees who have adopted the system. The Govern-
ment, however, have most properly determined to carry
it out in all cases, as well on account of the health of
the people themselves as to prevent petty frauds in the
administration of out-door relief, as none but the really
destitute would be likely to apply for food in a cooked
state. The relir f commissioners have just issued a cir-
cular containing directions to that effect.
THE DISTRESS—ORANGE I ROCESSIONS.
Mr. H. G. Johnston, grand master of the Orangemen
of the county of Monaghan, has issued an address, ear-
nestly admonishing them to abandon their usual pro Ce-
ssions on the approaching July anniversary, on account, o d
f
the deplorable condition of the country, and the sp
r
of fever among the population. The address of Mt
Johnston, which is excellent in tone and sentiment, con-
ea

SINGULAR FRACAS AT THE
OPERA.
On Saturday, at Marlborough-street, the Hon. G. P..?
Grey, brother of Lord Walsingham, summoned Mr. rie
Frith, of the Stock Exchange and Heathfield, wirable.
don, for having committed an assault on him at the
Opera on Saturday night week. Mr. Bodkin, as counse,
and Mr. Boodle, as solicitor, appeared for the cora-
plainant, and Mr. Bramwell for the defendant.
Mr. Bodkin stated that his client had found it neces-
sary to take out a summons against Mr. Frith for all
assault committed at the Opera under circumstances
that were wholly unjustifiable, ar:cl which, from Mr. Pc:
Grey's position in society, itwas impossible be
overlook. Mr. De Grey purchased a stall 'tick
No. 171, for two guineas and a half, from Mr. Ebers, for

and took possession of his stall. Mr. Frith

the Opera and passed to his stall, but being pp
that No. 171 stall was not vacant as well as No. 172, he
said roughly to Mr. De Grey, " What business have you
saoin
in this stall?" Mr. De Grey replied, he bad purchased
rith
and paid for the right to occupy the stall. Mr. F
told him rudely to turn out; but Mr. De Grey said he cer-
tainly should not turn out until he had some explanation
from Mr. Lumley. Mr. Frith produced two tickets, 00°
Grey'
of which was numbered 171, and then Mr. De
supposing that the persons connected with the theatre
had done that which he believed was not unusal, namely,
that the same seat had been sold twice over, wished to
have some further explanation, but he was again spoken
to rudely, and the assault as below detailed committed.
The Hon. George De Grey sworn.—l went to the
Opera House last Saturday night. I had purchased a
ticket No. 171, which I had bespoke several dap before,
and for which I paid two guineas and a half. I wss
shown into the stall by the person to whom I presented
my ticket. Mr. Frith came into the theatre accompanied
by a lady. The first words addressed by Mr. Frith to
me were " What business have you here?" I said I had
purchased and paid for the ticket. Mr. Frith wished Me
to go out and speak to the stall-keeper, but
told him he might go himself to the stall-keeper.
The stall keeper was afterwards fetched, and Mr. Frith i

would turn me out. The stall. keeper offered to give • rne
a seat elsewhere. I said I had met with such ungentle-
manly treatment from Mr. Frith, that I would not gait
the seat unless I was first satisfied that the seat to be
provided was as good as the one I occupied. Mr. Frith
then said he would push, he Would kick, and be would
turn me out of the theatre. Mr. Frith laid hold of of
collar, and tried to force me out of the stall. I resist
eat
and Mr. Frith could not accomplish his purpose. Air'
Frith shook his fist in my face, and forced himself into
the stall, and then a gentleman leaned over, andltold toe
he had seen Mr. Frith occupy that seat before. I thee
rose, and gave up the stall, and was put in a seat whic'
I consider was inferior to the wall I left. Before I left,
I asked Mr. Frith for his card, as I told him it was itn;
possible I could allow such treatment as I had received:
to pass unnoticed. Mr. Frith called me an infern!“
blackguard, and continued his abuse in the same strata
for some time.

When the stall-keeper came he did not tell me Ihe d

me another seat. I objected to go away at first, on trs
ground that I was not a, are that Mr. Frith had a ri.gf
to the stall, and because Mr. Frith had conducted hti
self in such an ungentlemanly way. After we strugef:
