BALTIMORE, July 2l-5, p. m.
The ,oeatherAccident Lieut.. Col Hughes-Ihe Baiti-
more charlottesville markets. &c.
Notwithstanding the rain, the weather continues
and oppressive with occasional shower, which be
of great service to the corn
/ regret learn that Lieut. Col Hughes whilst making
inspection of the transport ship Alexandria yesterday,
in company with Major Keny, accidentally fell down a
hachway, by which he much bruised, render
his confinement to bed for several days absolutely
y The first detachment of the volunteers, consisting Cap
tans Deggess and Henries company of Washington and
Capts Dowan's and Browns of Baltimore will however,
sail Friday Saturday for Vera Cruz under command
Of Major keny The troops at the fort number about
five hundred and finer body of men, hale hearty
and of solid appearance, have assembled
gether
The MARKErs.-The markets generally to-day have been
very dull There but few buyers of -four, and those
mostly wanting fresh ground 49, which price holders
unwilling to take There sales OF western brands
in condemned barrels, at 81 87a City Mills held
SIS so. The receipts of -four very small Nothing do
ing in mealit is without any very special demand
The receipts of grain of all descriptions light and very
little doing Good to prime red wheat will bring 90
105 CENTS and white do 100 ll2 cents oats 37b and
rye 6S 10 cents per bushel
The telegraph to Philadelphia still continues out of order
but annex report of yesterdays markets in New
York and Philadelphia
At New York, on Tuesday, the cotton market was very
active, with sales OF 1900 bales since Monday morning,
mainly to shippers, at advance of prices of last
week. There was but little doing in wheat notwithstand-
ing full supply in consequence of the refusal of holders
to reduce prices correspondngy with flour. Corn is in

The Huntsville (Texas) Banner gives an interesting de-
scripton of buminous lake that lies between Beau
and Liberty.
This lake is within hundred yards of the margin OF
dry and elevated prairie, of some miles IN extent, ana
covers an of about five and has depth varying
from one to three 1t constantly gives up from the bot
TOM in more hundred places, small quantities OF
bituen asphalt which deposited on the surface Ia
the shape of bubbles intervals OF every fifteen twenty
seconds. This bimen may be gathered in large qlanti-
ties the surface of the lake. and differs in nothing that
could perceive, either smell, touch, appearance,
from common pitch.
The mineral pitch that rises to the surface of the lake is
similar TO that described by travellers occurring the
Dead Sea in Palestine.
