taken In cargo before the blockade begins, she
may be at liberty to retire with it. If she after

! GREAT INFLUX OF MoRMoNs-The ship Monarch
OF the Sea, Captain Gardoer, arrived at this port
| On Tuesday from Liverpool, with nine hundred and
torty-nlne MormonS as passengers. This is the lar
! gest number of Mormons that ever arrived at this
port in one vessel. All Of them are in fine health.
! They will leave the city tomorrow tor Salt Lake
City, where they intend to settle. There have been
! two previous arrivals of Mormons this season. by
! the ship Underwriter May 90, which brought 6lS
passengers, and the Manchester, May IA, with $40
on board, making total of ,946 MormOns arriving

pany on board the Monarch made up of nine
different nationalites, viz: English Wech, (with
few Scotch and very few Irish,) J French Ger
man, Swiss, Italian, Danes, Swedes and Norwe-
| gans. Of these, less than $40 are Scandinaviaus

OF girls from fifteen to twenty years Of age, some of

How THE CoNFEDERArEs OFFICER THEIR TRoaps.-
Unionst returning from the South, speaks of the
feeling as strong and decided in favor of intrustng
the conduct of the to the experienced hands of
the resigned officers of the United States army-
The militia Generals were superseded without
ceremony when it practicable to obtain the
services OF experienced officers of inferior rank
Gen. Gwpnn, who has been made Major-General
by the State of North Carolina, placed in
command Of the rebel force at Norfolk and vicinity
but when the Federal Government began to con-
centrate its forces in that vicinity, he frankly
told that the public lacked confidence in his expe-
rience. With equal frankness he replied that he
would cheertully give way to any competent and
skillul army officer. He informed that the
services of Col. Huger, late Of the United States
army, could be had-when Gen. Gwvnu mmedi-
ately withdrew in his favor and was assigned to
other less responsible duties.-N Y. journal Of
Commerce.
Busy TINES IN RECHMoND.-The Richmond Dis
! patch says:
| Never before in the commercial history of Rich
! mOnd has there been more life and industry among
| the wol king classes than now. Our female opera
atives find plenty to do in making the garments of
soldiers; our machinsts are equally busy in fabr
eating and repairing arms; our bakers are making
bread; our cordOnniers shoes; tailors clothing;
and even our negroes, generally lazy, find all
the employment they want in throwing up fortii-
cations and other works Intended for the defence of
the city. Our railroads busy; wealth is COM
ming into the city every day; our hotels are over
hOwingj money changes hands continually, and
though our present prosperity may prove epheme-
raj and leave with the departure of the exigency
no one can deny that Richmond is at this moment
one of the busiest cities in the United States-od
or new.
VISIT TO Col. MAGRUDER's CAMp.-After the bat
tie of Bethel flag of truce was sent to the Sc
cessionsts. One Of the officers accompanying it
writes:
We were taken to the rebel camp, and there
found Col. Magruder We were introduced to
many Colonels. Majors, Captains and prvates (the
latter all wealthy gentlemen of Virginia, owning
plantations on the James River) We were treated
very kindly, had a grand dinner and a nap after it,
and bottles of wine opened for
They kept US, however, till five oclsck, probably
to prevent our seeing the movements Of military,
for, as we came through those horrible woods
again, we caught sight of huge hOwitZer, drawn
by four mules, just disappearing through the
woods.
INTERVIEW BETWEEN BRITISH MINISTER AND
THE SECRETARY OF STATE Washington, June l9.-
Lord Lyons had a protracted interview to-day with
the Secretary of State. If Lord ohm Russell would
leave the settlement of the questions at issue be-
tween the two governments to be arranged at
Washington, have high authority for saving that
a satisfactory understanding would speedy be ar
rived at. That Lord Lyons is well disposed and
friendly to our government there be no doubt.
The existing state of affairs increases the IabOrs of
his legation here teufold. There must in the ma
ture of things owing the immense interests which
British subjects have on this continent, arise many
troublesome and difficult questions, which will
have to be settled, and which will require great
shrewdness and diplomacy to manage successfully.

THE TORNADO HAIL STORM IN RHODE ISLAND.
The Providence papers furnish particulars of the
damage in that section by the tornado and hail
storm Sunday. The tornado from three
quarters of mile to a mile and halt or two miles
in width. The bail storm covered breadth, in
that State, of from five to ten miles, accompanied
for about ten minutes by violent wind. A high
wind lasted for three-quarters of hour. The
clouds appeared at River Point to revove upon
horizontal axis, and not to turn like whirlwind
upon a vertical axis. The choir in one of the
churches at Warren could not be heard while they
were singing, and services were suspended. The
loss of crops alOne in Rhode Island, will reach
any thousand dollars.
COMPLAINTS OF the ARMY.-The New York Tri-
bune says:
Letters from the 9th regiment of State troops,
the advance guard of Col. Stones column,
speak with much feeling of the scanty and bad food
coffee, one ounce of bacon, and some hard bread.
Every little luxury in the form of palatabe bread,
cheese, butter, milk, and fresh meat must be paid
for at an exOroiant price. They say they are not
allowed one quarter of the regular army ratiOns.
At one point OF the march of Col. Stones column,
where a temporary halt made, the men
so much exhausted by hunger that many of them
fell by the way-side The fault is attributed to the
Quartermaster-
TEMPER OF THE PEOPLE OF ALExANDRIA.-At AL
exaudria, business is at stand still. The police
rangements have been transferred to a detachment
from the Massachusetts Fifth, and general good
order prevails among the inhabitants, most OF
whom are sulky and uncommunicatlve however,
there is shop there, saddlery and leather es-
tablishment the only one in the town where such
articles can be had at all, the proprietor OF which
has repeatedly refused to furnish a belt or strap,
or to do any repairs for the Federal troops-Cor.

THE BATTLE FIELDS IN THE CRlMEA.-The vicinity
of the Redan the MalakOh, the Garden Battery,
the heights of the Alma, and other tortlhcauons,
are vet the scene of almost ncessant abors on the
part of the poor Jews and TartsrS, who have dug
to the depth of twenty-five feet below the forts
search of guns and shot and shell, loads of which
are being daily carted away. Of bones, too, al
though numerous cargoes have been brought over
to England, the stock does not appear to be ex-
hausted.
New RIFLE AND CARTRIDGE.-A trial of Sharpe's
