The primary elections held to day in the
various wards of the city and districts, are going
on very quietly, causing but little excitement.
The steamer Scorpion is still lying at our navy
yard, awaiting orders from Washington. 1t is
thought that her officers and crew will be trans
ferred to the brig Perry, which has been ready
fer sea for q couple OF weeks The Scorpion
cannot be put into complete order for service
without great loss of time, as it is probable that
her engine will have to be renewed.
The surveying brig Washington has baen COM
pletely rebuilt, and will be launched tomorrow
or Monday Her officers and crew are ready and
axious to repair 10 the Gulf, where they are to be
assigned the duty Of surveying that coast.
The grain and -four markets are in statu quo,
awaiting the arrival of the steamer, holders and
buyers are too cautious to operate when
they fear the news has already arrived and
