bar upwards of three hours, on Tuesday OVEN
ing, and finally drawn off By the tug Foster,
Capt. VIM. Crawford.
Schooner Minnesota, lowed ont Tuesday
afternoon, was brought In yesterday morning,
minus her jib-boom-lost in the aquall.
Bark Badger State, which was towed ont
Tuesday afternoon, had her topsal gard car
ried away By tho storm, anchored outside
yesterday.
The scow Hunter left port Tuesday night,
when the squall came On, she concluded to
return, and in coming in struck the south
pier and sunk.
Bark Hungarian went ont on Monday, re-
turned last night for repairs. We did not
learn what damage she had sustained.
Propeller c. Mears was hard aground on
the bar last evening. The tug Geo. ". Wood
WAS ut work upon her last night and will
bring her of.
Tug Mosier, Captain Edward Coon, when
backing schooner into dock, got her wheel
afoul the Polk street bridge chain and broke
it. The bridge tenders, with an activity
never displayed while On duty, ran to the
Police Court, got out u warrant, and had
Capt. Coon brought before that august tribn-
ual, where he was fined s25. He had not the
requisite amount with him, and asked pet
mission to go to the tug Office for the money.
This was refused-he must secure the fine or
20 to Bridewell. He finally left valuable
watch in pledge for the fine till he could pro-
cure the money where he had 1t deposited.
Ind this been the case of street-walker or
an inmate Of q house Of in-fame, IN officer
would have been dispatched to accompany
her wherever she would 60 to get the money.
Verify, consistency is Jewel.

An Inquiry.
We have received the following in relation
to custom which obtains in this city, to
which We are requested to reply:
--., CHICAGO, July II, 1868,
e. dae2qan nreasa r. fount e
Wholesale purchases, to prepay tho express
charges. Can jon tell us9
Goods sold here are usually sold at fixed
sum, payable at the place Of slle. There
would be manifest Injustice In purchasing
barrel Of -four in Chicago at the current rates,
and compelling the seller to send to st. Louis
for his money, unless there WIS special con
tract to that effect. All goods bought In New
York for this market, are payable In New
York, and in some instances exchange rules
so high that profits are well nigh eaten up.
In some kinds Of business. when the profits
are large, there might be no objection to pay
express charges upon remittances, but in q
sale Of sugars, or domestics, and goods sold at !
close figures, re can well imagine dlalncli-
nation to do go. Upon the whole, the rule
may be stated, that the party remitting
should Fay the freight Of his money unless
there is special understanding to the con-
tra1y.
