THE STnR


In word, taking it altogether we have never
witnessed more terrific storm, ard vet, strange to
say. the damage done was less than might have
been reasonably expected. The great fall of rain
caused the river to commence rising on Saturday
evening, and by Sunday morning the water was
higher than it has been since the freshet of 1852
great deal of drift wood and pumpkins were
brought down from above. 1t is estimated that at
least six hundred cords of wood piled up along the
river, and belonging to Messrs. Ballard Honey and
others, were carried off by the current
Inc water as II came pouring over the dam of
the Fredericksburg Water Power Company was
grand and imposing. 1t was the Niagara miniatu-
red. The guage showed the depth of the water
rolling over the dam to be feet 10 inches and as
1T came roaring and surging it manifested its kin
snip IN ITS swelling Hoods and artilleryike rumb-
hng, to the Great Falls themselves.
The lower floor of the Bellemnnt and EarIe Mills
IN Falmouth, and of knOX's Mill on this side was
submerged, but all the grain and ohal in each of
them had been removed to secure quarters
The little steamer Falmouth, used in bringing
wheat and corn up the river, broke from its moor
ings, and has not, we believe, been recovered.
The corn on all the lOwands above has been terri
bIy injured, and in many cases totally DESTROYED
AS the best corn on the low lands this season.
the loss in many will prove serious
gentleman who was at Aqua Creek on Satur-
day represents the sight on the Potomac as thrill
ing. The gale is represented the severest they
have had there for forty years
THE CHESAPEAKE AND ONO CANAL-We saw YES
terday two letters from upper sections of the canal
written by superintenderts of the same. Both
speak of the effects Of the late food in the Potomac
upon Dam No. H. above Shepherdsown. 1t appears
that about one hundred and fifty feet of the solid
stone work of the dam, put in in 1857, have been
"knocked off," to restore which will require one
months work, but how much money has not yet
been ascertained. Navigation above Harper's
Ferry may therefore be considered suspended
for one month at least The superintendent on the
WilliamspOrt division reports two three breaches
along his line which day two would be suf-
ticent to repair. On the eight mile level and the
nine mile level, Edwards Ferry, breaches also
occurred, but of no serious character The rise of
the water in the upper Potomac on Sunday last
was eighteen inches above that in April last.-Nat

pay, must be suspended until Congress shall pro-
vide the necessary relief, The first quarterly SER
vice of contractors, for the year commencing on
the lst of July last, will not have been performed
so as to entitle them to pay, until the 1st of Octo
ber and by the terms of their contracts sixty days
more must elapse before their accounts can be
finally settled, which will postpone the day of pay
ment till the lst of December, within less than
week from the regular meeting of Congress Ac-
cording to the contracts, payments are due in
November for the quarter ending on the 3Oth of
September, and in February for the quarter ending
the 3lst of December.

TRADE IN PRUssGA.-The Berlin correspondent of
the n ew Y ork Herald gives the subioined account
OF the state of business in the kingdom of Prussia
"The suspense and Hneasiness prevailing in res
pect to the political aspect of Europe continue to
impede the activity of most branches of trade to
which, it was hoped, the conclusion ofpeace would
give a new impulse. Commerce, industry and nav
igatOn still in a depressed state. and capital

would give occupation 20 a number of hands and
be source of profit to the employers The failures
Cf retail merchants in the provinces especially in
the dry goods line, have been going on at fear
full rate tor several months and in this city the list
OF bankruptcies of middle class firms, small manu-
facturers and tradesmen in different branches of
business has increased in the same ratio. The mo-
bllization of the army led to the imposition of
higher taxes by the municipal authorities for the
purchase of cavalry, artillery and baggage horses,
the biileting ofsoldiers, &c, which entaied heavy
burthens on rich and poor, and of course obliged
them to retrench in order to make up for this
ira expense; beside which, many hands being out
of work, they were hardly able to provide for the
ssaries of life, and purchasing articles of dress
or other uxuries quite out of the question
The only trades that fiourshed were those ENGAGED
BY government in furnishing accoutrements for The
army, saddlers, wheelwrights, smiths, military
tailors, and so forth; all others were completely
stagnant. A few CLEANS oflight, however, are now
beginning to struggle through this gloomy picture

The Empress Eugcnie, on the occasion of the
late fete, celebrating the peace, shone out in her
surprising beauty, which, perhaps was never be-
held to greater advantage than on this day. The
attire adopted by her majesty, indicative of good
taste, reflection, and forethought, was likewise
eminently successful. Entirely Of rich lace, the
dress eDveloped her graceful figure like cloud,
pure, white, and transparent. Over the head was
thrown aveil of the exquisite material, reach
ing from the back of the head to the feet: the hair
dressed la Uedicis. confined by the splendid i'm
perial diadem belonging to the crown, and which
was absolutely too dazzling, when exposed to the
rays ofthe sun, to admit of the steady glances
which the beholders directed towards it, Princess
Mathilde had adopted the coifHre of which she is
so fond-that of the antique Faustna-aat braids
of hair smoothly parted over the forehead,
and a torsade OF velvet extending far to the
back of the head, and falling away from the neck,
which is becoming to the peculiar figure of her
royal highness, now too much invaded by embon-
point to allow either of falling ends of ribbon or of
the absence of ornament, what is called with
more gallantry, accompaniment" to her head
dress. The shadow thrown by the curtain of vel
vet with its gold fringe-a shadow softened by the
distance-produces the effect sought after, that of
diminishing the projection of the neck behind, and
thus detaches the head with much grace, andby the
most simple means imaginable.-Home Journal
