THE CITY.

THE BLow.-During the last twenty foul
hours the strong north wind has raised quite
a Sea upon the Lake, but 20 far as we have
been able to ascertain but little damage has
as yet resulted. Quite feet of vessels from
up the lakes for Buffalo attempted to make
this hSrbOr yesterday, being driven over by
stress Of weather, but were obliged to put
back on their coarse, the gale being "too
many" for them.
A seow which entered the harbor was
carried By a great seaover the west pier and
dropped high and dry upon it, bat the next
wave raised her clear Of all distractions and
landed her safely in the river, she having
sustained no damage whatsoever.
The sehooner Minnesota, while coming to
her anchorage, was forced BY the wind upon
the steamer City of Cleveland and carried
away a portion of the latter's rail and
staterOOm door. The propeller Elmira ran
down the lake afew miles but was compelled
to put back.
The Forest Queen, Detroit and Buffalo
steamer, ran into this port for harbor
Il would appear that the "Equinoxtial"
has missed its reconing, ano is upon ussome
days before it is due.

New YoBK, July 20.-The brig Costa Rics
has arrived Of Cape Antoine, which reported
che bad been a prize to the privateer Sumter,
bat had got away and had disarmed the prize
crew and put them in irons. Two Of them
were put on board the Costa Rica and brought
to this port.
The privateersmen say they were obliged to
ship OF starve, and a number of the Sumter's
men are northerners, and will escape the first
opportunity; that the officers are a desperate
set, and will blow up the vessel rather than be
captured.
Two men and a midshipnan of the prize
crew renamed on board the Cuba.
HosTILE ATTITUDE OF Prussia. The
black republicans tell the truth occasionally
IN reference to their foreign relations, and it
will be seen by the Washington correspondence
of the Philadelphia Inquirer that even despot-
ic Prussia is getting as unfriendly as England
and France:
Ilearn that the secretary Of State is busily
engaged in writing dispatches to Mr. n. B.
Judd, our minister to Berlin that they will
contain specific instructions in regard TO the
uDmistakable hostile attitude Of Prussia, as
manifested in the dispatch Of the Prussian
government to Baron GeToit, and that they
will be sent out in the next steamer. The ad-
minis ration regards that dispatch as fully
committing Prussia to the same unfriendly
course Of policy towards US as has been
chosen by England, Spain and France, although
her course, whatever it may be, cannot effect
our interests in The slightest degree.

CONVICTION NEWS.

The ELECTION TO AMEND THE Cry CHAR
TERI II Don't Garry, What WIZ Covi1g-
ton DO P-There is considerable interest
manifested in the election which is to take
place in our city on Wednesday next which
is for an amendment to the city charter,
adding to the taxes now paid only ten cents
on each one hundred dollars worth of prop
erty. Surely this small additional tax to
the amount property holders are now paying,
will be. submitted to in the present emerg-
cDcy, When the faith and credit of the city
are at stake. 1t is urged as an objection to
the proposed amendment, that the proceeds
of the tax may be diverted, and applied to
objects not DOW contemplated. In the ordi-
nance ordering the election, it is expressly
provided thai the fund arising from the tax
is to be kept as separate and distinct fund,
to be applied to the payment of the interest
in the funded debts of the city, and to no
other purpose. If the proposed tax does
not carry, what will Covipgton do? How
will she pay the interest on her actual debt 2
1t is to be hoped that the small amount
asked for will readily carry at the election
on Wednesday next
