Same day at two O'Clock, P. M, the wealth
er fine and clear; ship going ten knots; was
struck forward by a'whale, taking the stem
and both bob stays, into the wood ends for
about seven feet; the whale was seen twice
afterwards spouting blood, with which the
water was red for large space. Shortened
sail and hove-to, with two feet, six inches

sail and mattrass over the bows, and hauled
taught over the damage; secured the bob
stay Through the hawse hole. After two
hours pumping, freed her, and filled away
under easy sail; after running some time,
found it necessary to keep both pumps going
to keep her free.
Sept l9th-foand it necessary to heaye
over cargo forward to bring the leak
out OF water, as we could not keep sal

siderable; ship running still under easy sail;
the weather being such could not work over
the bows; continued on our course with both
pumps going most of the time, until the 3rd
of October, when the sea was so we could
work over the bows; hove-to and nailed three

dismasted and water-logged, took off the
crew, eight in number, and brought them to
this port. Experienced very heavy weather
dur ing the passage.
ARRIVAL OF SToCK.-We stated last week
that lot of fine cattle was expected from
the State Fair; we since notice the arrival
of the famous Eastern Shore trotter. Bow
ser, owned by Mr.. Nottingham. Bowser is
a noble animal, and will attract much atten-
ton, particularly in the ring.
Mr.. W. W. Hall has also entered his beau
tiful mare, Prairie Bird, better known
among our people as 'Y aler GAL" and while
she is not in training, we confidently expect
her to do some good work when she encoun-
tiers Bowser. ...
Among other fine stock is collection be-
longing to Mr.. Strandsbcrg, of Maryland
His herd consists of twelve or fifteen head OF
cattle, among which is the celebrated COW,
"Malelda," which has borne off fifteen pre-
miums, at various Fairs in this country; his
celebrated Bull, "Richmond," will also be
present. This beautiful animal will attract
much attention from the lovers Of fine stock,
and we would not be surpris ed if he did not
take the premiums. He already boasts of
six, which he has carried off wherever he
has been.

MurlNY IN HAMPTON RoADs.-Capt. Hicks
brought up from the Bark w. A. PIatenius
then in Hampton Roads-on Satu rday last,
the mate of that vessel, named S. Gerham.
who had been severely stabbed in two places
by one of the. crew,while in state of drunk
enness and mutiny. 1t appears that the
crew had been shipped in this city, and had
been carried down Saturday morning to
meet the vessel, which was bound from CT
Point to Marseilles. Soon after getting on
board, the mate ordered the men out to
duty, but several of them were drunk and
refused ito work until Monday. The mate
then came forward to make them come out
OF. the forecastle, which was on deck, when
tive of the crew seized and threw him to the
deck. The End mate now came up to assist
the mate, and was knocked down and Sc.
verely bruised and cut about the head; the
mate succeeded in getting to his feet, and as
he did so, he was seized from behind, and the
tive wounds spoken of above, inflicted, one
OF which was on the right shoulder and the
other in the abdomen. About this time, J. the
Captain heard the scuffle ane came forward
to the assistance Of his mates, and got them
aft; the men now endeavored to get aft to
the mates, but was intimidatedI by the Cap
tain and Pilot Wright, who had armed
themselves with pistols, and kept the men at
hey until the steamer Coffee came along and
took the mate Oft. After reachin this city,
he was carried to Mrs. Potter's, where his
wounds were dressed by DR.. Nash, and he
was removed thence to the Marine Hospital,
and placed under the care of DR.. Moore, the
attending Physician.
Meanwhile, Deputy Marshall, Thomas
Nash, returned to the Bark, arrested four
men, brought them to this city, and had
them committed to Jail, where they await
their examination before United States Com
missioner John I. Francis.
REORGANIZATION will take place as soon
as the mate is we'll enough to appear, which
it is hoped, will be in few days, as it is not
supposed that he is fatally hurt

LADIES FAIR.-On Saturday night, we
were at Johnson's Hall, and were both sur
prised and delighted at the display.
The Cadets were there in large numbers and
of course the young ladies were there also.
There was most excellent table and quite
a number of gentlemen avaied themselves
of the opportunity to get good supper in
the NEST agreeable company.
Thus far the ladies have succeeded very
we'll in their undertaking, and we hope that
they may make just as much money as they
want, for their efforts are certainly deserv-
Ing of success.
Look OUT FOR PICKPooKETs.-A lumber Of
these light fingered gentry have arrived in
this city, and will commence their deprada-
tions as soon as an opportunity offers. Wis.,
itors and citizens are advised to be on the
look. out fer them. Those who are blessed
with aplethoric purse are advised to leave
it at their Hotel In the meantime, these
"Knights of the pad' are advised to keep
quiet, as many ofthem are known and have
peen "spotted" by our "detectives."
Excursion TO THE FAIR.-The steamer
Sea Bird is up for an excursion from
Smithfield to this city on Wednesday next,
when we expect to see goodly number of
our Isle of Wight cousins who will be at
tracted thither by the Fair, the "Shanghia
drill'' and the Fire Works.

The LEXINGTON CADETs.-We briefly no.
ticed on Saturday last, the arrival of the Ca
diets from the Virginia Military Institute,
but in the hurry of going to press omitted
to state that the Military turned out to re-
ceive them, which they did with a salute by
detachment of the N. l.. A. Blues. They
are handsome set of young men and are di.
vided into four companies there are one
hundred and sixty -four of them, and when on
parade made as handsome display as we
ever saw.
After marching through the PRINCIPAL
streets they were escorted to the Blues Ar
mory, where they were received by Com
mittee OF the Seaboard Agricultural Soci.
ETY., one of whom welcomed them to the city.
This was responded to by Mai. Gillian in
snort out appropriate and eloquent m amer,
The reception over, they were informed of
the whereabouts of their quarters, and qui
city dispersed to the homes of our citizens.
at night, number of them attended the
Fair now being held at Jehnson's Hall, while
still larger number visited the Opera House
to witness the delinea tons of the Marsh
Troupe.
7 Yesterday they might be seen, quietly, or
DERBY and gentlemanly, promenading the va
rious streets, whilst almost all the churches
could boast Of the presence of some of tn
youthful soldiers.
To-day they visited Portsmouth,, the NAVY
Yard, the Receiving ship Pennsy lvania, and
other objects of interest on that side Of tho
river. The National Greys, Capt. Deans
was the escort on this occasion. The Com
modore made every provision fo1 their COM
fort and had every convenience prep AIRED for
their transportation to the ''Big Ship"
Tomorrow they visit Old Point on the
steamer Coffee, and as was the case to-day.
was attended by several of the commissioned
officers OF the "a tn Regiment.
OniWednesday they..visit the Fair Grounds
and will go through their celebrated Shane-
hal drill, which, no doubt, will attract the
attention of thousands. They are almost
perfect In the "tactics," and are said to be
the best drilled corps in the State. There is
little question but they will prove source
OF interest and feature of much attraction
at the Fair Grounds.
We notice among them several young gen
tlemen from this city who are being put
through course of military sprouts, much to
the improvement Of their shape as we'll as
their intellect.
BY the way, we heard quite joke yester-
day about two of them who had been court
martialed the day before for making an eff
fort-ineffectual of course-to sit upon their
coat tails. 1t is truth, which all who
have seen them will admit, that their uni
forms fit them "rather too little," as Mickey
Free would say, but that's nsilitaire and looks
much better than the uniforms Of, some of our
citizen soldiery, many of which eft too
much," as the same Celtic individual did saw
when he grew thin.
