A terrible explosion occurred yesterday AFTER,
noon at the fireworks manufactory Of Samuel Jack

George Lawrence, two ofhis worlmen, were badly
burned, but not dangerously. The accident occur
led while Fortescue was driving home the charge
of rocket, and was caused by his own wfulness.

him, that she was driving them too hard, when he
exclaimed, "Pll give this one hell" and striking

1t will be by this statement, that the shipments
this have been compared with those for
the same period last Of every article but wheat These
large shipments have been made without any extra
ordinary demand abroad for our breadstuffs and in
the face Of about the usual supply in Great Britain Of
their own products. The recent shipments have pro-
badly paid WELL and at present prices here they will no
doubt continue large. The political dic uties in the
north OF Europe have shut up supplies in the
Baltic, and have prevented the usual shipments
from those ports to Great Britain. This has given
shipments from this country better chance in
the English markets, and kept down the aggregate
supply The prospect Sf this embargo being removed
causes shgnt fluctuations in prices in London, and
the variations in exports from this country Our
last accounts from England reported the crops in
very promising condition Later dates are near at
hand; and from this time until harvest reports re-
latve to the weather in England, and in oil parts Of
Europe, will be anxourly looked for much depends
upon the advices which will be from time to time re-

| The Rhaisis, and their Visit to General TayLor
The khaisIs, from the land of Syria, were taken
up to the White House, to-day, and the President
was much gratIiied to them. They are eigt-
Teen months old, and remarkably well grown.
lhey are two Of the finest specimens of their tribe:
and this is their history =
Lieutenant Lynch, of the United States ship
supply, on his return from his Dead Sea expedi-
ton, stopped at Damascus, and purchased them Of
the Arabs. They were calves, male and female, Of
the Khaisi breed ef Arabian cattle Lieutenant
Lynch presented them to the State of Virginia and
the Legislature gave them 10 the Governor, to dis.
pose Of at his discretion, to that farmer within the
State whom he should Judge as most likely to Sc.
cure the propagation OF the breed In the exercise
OF this discretion, Governor Floyd gave them to
Col. James Casleman, of Clarke county, who has
Just returned from Richmond with the khalsis,
tn route for his plantation.
The khaiss are, respectively, eighteen and sixteen
months old, and weigh, the bull $50 pounds, and
the heifer 60 The bull is feet 10 inches high.
and 10 feet inches in length, from the nose to the
end of the tail-the heer of proportonate size.
They are the most beautiful animals of the cattle
kind we have ever seen. Their limbs are as deli
cate as those of a gazee, yet strong and well set
as those of a race horse. Their heads have some
thing of the elegance of outline of deer their
nosirs are thin and flexible; their feet broad
anu YET lIlbCk anu Hat at
the insertion, taper down to the thinness almost Of
whip lash ending in long tuft of silky hair.
They are of deep shining bay color, and their
horne, WHICH are just spTou'ng, are black as those
of buffalo Wse. ~, grown they are said ID
stand seven feet high, and the cows are said TO
ytelG three half bushels of milk day
These are the khalsis. Trimmed with garlands
of flowers they were taken up for the inspection
of the Presidents; and Old Zack, on first sight,
promptly declared that he had seen nothing in all
the Western country to compare with them. Col.
CastIeman is great stock raiser, and will doubt
Virginia by the introduction of these distinguished
Arabs. Lieut.. Lynch is to have the first full
booded bull calf, and the subsequent produce Of
of the breek at the Colonel's discretion. He says
he would not take $4,000 for the two, to-day-a
sum which they probably would have brought had
they been pnt up at auction in Richmond, with Il
due notice to the stock raisers Of the State. w.
