NORFOLK. August IL, 1859

NORFOLK August Ii, 1859.
The Yorktown left here about clock yes
terday afternoon for New York, but returned
again about 81 O'Clock for a supply of water.
1t appears that in the hustle and confusion
attending her recent visit to the waters of
Virginia the steward had entirely overlooked
the essential article of water, which is not to
be wondered at, since there had been more at
tention paid to the wine than to water. Capt
Parrish found, after getting TO sea, that he had
an exceedingly dry set on bbard-who, from
some cause possibly their recent rotations,
were drinking an unusual quantity of water,
which caused him 10 examine the tanks, when
it was discovered that instead of allowing
them a double quantity, as their condition re-
quired, they would have to be put on short
allowance if they kept on to New York he
accordingly turned back, as above stated, got
t supply of fresh water for his thirsty pas
sengers and left again about p. NJ, for the
Empire city.
Considerable excitement has been caused
among the bellies and beaux of our quiet little
aeighbor. Hampton, by the announcement that
4 tournament and fancy ball was to come off
at that place on the 18th inst The fitting will
take place just outside the limits Of the town,
md the Gro wning of the Queen and the grand
fancy ball will come off at Chesapeake Hall,
under the auspices of DR.. Banks.
The sweet potatoe trade has commenced: $50
barrels were shipped north yesterday. We
quote them a. 81 per barrel. The crop is said
10 be a large one, and the price must fall to
half of present rates in week more.
The National Grays, of Portsmouth, leave
On the steamer Coffee this afternoon, for an
excursion to Hampton. where they will have
u Jolly time, Judging from what We learn
The Parker Family gave an exhibition ut
Chesapeake Hail, Hampton, last night. A full
house greeted them. PERCUSSION
