CITY INTELLIGENCE.
Detention Of the Washington Mail. The train
of cars, which left Washington at o'clock
yesterday morning, and due here at O'Clock,
did not arrive until half-past | |. The deten-
ton was caused by the washing away of Il
stone culvert near the 22d mile post, and with
it about twenty-five feet of the embankment,
during the heavy rain which fell on Tuesday
night. The train Of cars which left here for
Washington, at 6 l-2 o'clock yesterday morn
ing, were detained by the same cause. The
passengers in the trains when they met at the
culvert, were compelled TO change cars, by
which means each party were enabled to pro-
coed to their destination, with no other incon-
venience than that caused by the delay. The
heavy rain which fell on Tuesday, it is feared,
has done great injury in the country, the low
land between this city and Washington being
covered with water to great extent

Great Rise in Jones' Falls. The heavy rain
which we had on Tuesday, and Tuesday night,
caused the water to rise to fearful height, be-
tween l2 and 2 O'Clock yesterday morning
Great approximations of an overflow were felt,
/ so much so, that several persons removed their
horses from their stables, and stood ready to
decamp themselves at a moments warning
/ After 2 o'clock the water subsidized without do
were allayed. 1t is thought that much damage
has been done by the rise of the streams in the
country.
IN a Bad Category. A specimen of the
feline species, who appeared to be afflicted

Calvert streets. A considerable quantity of
\ juvenile humanity had surrounded the poor
cat-erwauler, generally treating it to any a.
mount Of kicks and blows, when the constabu-
larry came along and finished the catastrophe
with one "fell blow" Report says it was
moon-struck, or else decided case of HYDRO

ball. and the sheep-skin saddle cloth has torn
ball-kole through and through, and one side of
his coat exhibits rent, showing that the shot
struck in the left thigh, passed through the sad

the pummel of the saddle in its way, and COM
ing out, but very little spent, on the right side.
The saddle cloth and remains of the pumulel OF
the saddle are still saturated with his blood and
= that of his noble charger. The holsters were
also torn by the ball in the same manner as the
other parts we have described. His boots have
been cut down the backs 10 get them Oft his feet.
The waistcoat and other parts Of his dress were
