yesterday that Ii. McAlIister u 8. army, was in-
jured on Friday by an explosion at Old Point Va
We are pleased to learn that his injuries, although
severe, are not fatal The explosion occurred In
the laboratory, not from the bursting OF boiler,
but in consequence of flames communicating with
some composition 10 state of preparation for the
4th of July fireworks 1t. McAllister was blown

There will be due the Bank Of Washington, on
the 30th instant, for over-draf, about $500.
There will also be necessary, to meet the interest
due the 30th instant, on the stock of the Corpora
ton and stock exchanged with Chesapeake and
Ohio Canal Company, about $4,000, which will
make the whole amount due the bank on the S0th
instant about $2O50O. This amount, with the out
standing debts due by the several Wards, amount
ing to 81 1872, makes the total indebtedness OF
the city at the close Of thesca year about $S 1892
1t will be perceived that the present indebtedness
consists entirely Of over-drafts on the bank and
outstanding debts whilst, for the fiscal year end
ing goth Of June, 1854, it consisted Of" antici-
pated revenue" (being loans from banks,) which
has been paid, in addition to the above objects. l
am satisfied that the usual annual statement Of the
accounts Of the Corporation, when closed, will
show large reduction of the Indebtedness with
which the year was commenced, not less in amount
than 1000. VI respectfully suggest, in this con-
nexion, that the Bank Of Washington is justly en-
titled to interest on the over-drafts and that au-
thority be given to pay whatever amount may be
found due.
According to the above statements, the follow
ing will be the condition of the Corporation at the
close of the next fiscal year, ending June 80, 1885,

Prince Paul, OF Wurtemburg, set out for his
great voyage, the greatest he perhaps ever under
took, yesterday afternoon at 5 o'clock. He left
our city on board Of the steamer Nicholas for st.
Louis, whence he intends proceeding with a cara.
van over the plains TO San Francisco. Thus he
will see that city for the fourth time. From San
Francisco he viii start for China and Japan. The
kindness Of his friends In Washington has provided
the illustrious traveller with sufficient recommen-
dstions 70 enable him 10 penetrate perhaps deeper
into the mysteries Of these two countries than any
other traveller before him. This voyage will oc-
cupy him two years, after which he win return TO
Germany in order to see his relative, and viii re-
side at his castle near Stutgardt, unless his at
tschmcnt 10 New Orleans should bring him back
here, where he lived for more than thirty years.
The evening before the departure Of the Prince, a
large number Of his friends gave him brilliant
serenade as proof OF esteem, and were addressed
by him with marked feeling and eloquence.

Lord Panmure gives nominal list, show

ed. Gortschakof telegraphs that the AL

Pelissier telegraphs: "Crimca, 26th--No

against the Malakoff tower and Fastening
the construction of battery which will
complete the investment of the port: also
drawing closer with our left attack"
The Russians continue to repair the dam
ages done during the last attack. The Al

Sweaborge and Hanjo.
There were many rumors circulating in
Paris regarding the defeat on the 18TH
One of these attributes it to the British
commanding officers; first, in not passing

The British, on the other side, say that

took place as already announced, on the
18th ult., the British carried the outworks
of the Rcdon tower, but found that beyond
them the Russians had prepared deep
trench which it was impossible for them to
pass without either scaling ladders or
planks. The gallant band of assailants
were exposed to most murderous fire, and

The casualties were much augmented by
the effect of the guns Of the Malakoff tow

fearful havoc, there being no cover or shell

A TRUE AMERICAN MEETING

A few days after the Virginia election
mass meeting was held in st. Mary's county,
Maryland, to congratulate the country on
the firmness and nobility which the gallant
Democracy of Virginia had displayed
The meeting commenced by declaring first
that much as Northern Abolitionism was
to be dreaded that successful Know Moth
ingism was still more alarming"-the former
would divide our country but "he latter
,DouM make our couat,ynot aoorM dividing."
Then the two portions of the meeting
the Protestant and the Catholic-divided,
and each separately passed the following
resolutions, to which'we call attention:
Resolred by the Protestant portion Of this
assembly, That, knowing theirg general worth
as men, and patriotism as citizens, to be in
every respect, fully equal to our own, we
do most solemnly pledge ourselves to our
Roman Catholic brethren, whether Wings
OR Democrats, Indignantly to frown upon
and manfully to contend against all and
every attempt to deprive them of the civil
and religious rights which are secured to
oil by the constitution.
ResoIued By the Roman Catholic portion Of
this assembly, That we do most cordially re-
ciprocate the kiud and brothcrly sentiments
expressed in the resolution just passed by
our Protestant brethren. Acknowledging
no higher allegiance on this earth than that
which binds us to our beloved country, we
eau, and we will stand shoulder to shoulder
with all her patriotic children in resisting
her foreign enemies or in protecting the
constitutional rights of all her citizens from
assaults of domestic foes.
