WI WASHINGTON CITY DYING ESTAB--
wv LISEiMENT.--F. WHEATLEY, Of George

town, would most respectfully inform the citizens
of Washington and vicinity that he has taken the
stand at the of 18th street and Pennsy
avenue, south side, formerly occupied by J. Berk-
ley, where he invites his old customers, and as
many new ones may be pleased to try his skill in
the art of dying silk, woollen and cotton goods and
cloth dressing. The preference which has been
given him by large portion Of the citizens Of
Washington, in carrying their work to Georgetown,
has induced him. for the convenience ofthe public and
with view to enlarge his business, and by an exhi-
bition of superior work to extend his reputation, to
take stand in the metropolis, where he IL prepared
to receive and execute all manner of ladies' and gem
temen's apparel in a superior stle. Shawls of
every material and texture cleansed, beached, or
dyed, and the border preserved.
He conceives it unnecessary further to commend
himself to the public, as he has long been known
and extensively patronized from every part of the
country. He has lately built and fitted up an extern
sive and complete dyehouse, and is prepared to do
all kinds of work with despatch, and in style not
to be surpassed in this country He especially calls
the attention of gentlemen to the superior manner in
which coats and pants, and gentlemen's apparel
generally, nre done. The shape and set of the coat
not in the slightest degree injured and the color
Is warranted to stand and not in the least to rub
All kinds of work will be thankfully received and
done on moderate terms.
N. B.--The present is the best season for cleans
ing and dying curtains; and he would call the atten-
ton of clearinghouse keepers tavern-keepers, and
others having curtains to cleanse or color, to the
present, as a more propitious time than the fall.
The work can he done better in good weather; and
there is less hurry in summer. May 6-dlm"

LATER FROM CHINA.

The ship Helena, Captain Benjamin, from Can.
ton, 9th January, arrived yesterday. She brings
eleven days later.
The Helena left this port the 9th of June for Co
quimbo and Callao, and arrived at Canton previous
to January ~. On her way to Valparaiso she put
into Rio Janero TO effect some necessary repairs to
her foremost, having sprung it at sea in a heavy
blow
HoNeKoNc, Jan. %, ls45.--Hcr Majesty's Ship
Vestal, Captain Talbot, returned to port yesterday
She brought from Whampoa another instalment of
the indemnity money, amounting, we hear, to three
millions ofdolars. The money has been paid in
Sycee, now at premiam Of from to 6 per cent. in
India, 50 that John Bull will pocket something like
go, 600 by the transaction.
There are various statements as to the ultimate
destination Of this valuable freight We think il
most probable that one of the small frigates in
the harbor will carry part TO Singapore, to be ship
ped by her Majesty's ship Oembrian to England,
and the other moety will be taken to India and
brought back in rupees. II is rumored that the
Agincourt viii carry the specie to Singapore; but
we can scarcely believe that such large ship viii be
employed on this service.

CoNpUcTNc THE ELECTRIC FLUID ACROSS RIVERS.
The particulars of the plan by which Professor
Morse has conducted the electric fluid across rivers
by means Of the water ITSELF are given by him in
letter to the Secretary of the Treasury, at WASH
ington. The facts which led to the discovery, and
which we have before seen published, are az fol-
lows In the autumn of 1912, at the request of the
American Institute, Professor M undertook to give
to the people Of New York demonstration of the
practicabity of his invention, by connecting Gov
ernors Island with Castle Garden, distance of one
mile. For this purpose he laid his wires, properly
insulated, beneath the water. He had just COM
menced operating, and received two or three charac-
tiers, when his intentions were completely frustrated
in the destruction of part of his conductors by
vessel, which drew them up on her anchor, and cut
them Off II was during the subsequent night,
whilst suffering modification at this failure, that he
conceived the plan of arranging his wires along the
banks of the river, to cause the water itself to
conduct the electricity across. An experiment was
made soon after at Washington, on the canal, with
success; and series of experiments, made lastfa
developed the law governing the passage Of the cleo
tricity. {a
The conditions of this law are, that electricity
crosses the river, and in quantity in proportion TO
the size Of the plates in the water. The dis
lance Of the plates on the same side of the river
from each other, also affects the result. The ex-
periments made were but short distance in which,
however, the principle fully proved to be cor
rect. II has been applied, under the directions of
Messrs Vail and Rogers, across the Susquehanna
river, at Havre de Grace, with complete success,
distance Of nearly mile--- Phil. Daily Keystone.
