BALTIMORE July 27.-The morning papers are
filed with additional particulars and incidents
of the flood, but there is nothing worth tele-
graphing. Thousands of persons are still at
work repairing damages and clearing away
debris. The accounts from Frederick City, and
that region, represent severe flood. The Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad is seriously damaged
all the way to Frederick, and the cars will not
be able TO run there for several days. Beyond
that point trains are running. A train was sub
merged near Ellicott City, and the passengers
were obliged to escape to the hills; no one was
lost No trains on the Northern Central are
running yet. None are arriving or departing
this side of Cockeysville.
The thousand dollar donation of Mr.. George
W. Childs, proprietor of the Ledger, to our poor
was highly priced.
Claggett's brewery was burnt here on Satur-
day night. The loss IS forty thousand dollars.
BENJAMIN Deford, owner Of the granite factory,
loses two hundred and thirty thousand dollars,
the same as cash paid out. Mr.. Carroll, owner
of the Patapsco Mills, loses S60,OO0 and Gam
brill $50 600. Private subscriptions are now
being made for the sufferers here. 1t is raining
again to-day,
JeHreys' rejection gives high satisfaction to
the Republicans here.

LONDON, July 27-Eveniug. -Telegrams re-
ceIved from Rome announce the important
intelligence that the Papal police have just
discovered a mine which had been followed out
and charged so as to blow up, when exploded,
the new and extensive Notifications which are
being constructed on Mount Aventine under the
direction of French and Roman engineers. Two
of the sentnels on duty near 1.-The works were
assaulted and wounded few nights slnce
1t was feared that the Roman reac.
tionaries or Garibaldians, or both, con-
template serious movement in
or near the Eternal City at no distant day.
Near the location of the mine and in the neigh
borhood of the camp on the Mount the police
found and took possession of a number of red
and black shirts. The Garibaldiaus have pretty
generally substituted black shirt inscribed
with the letters "V. M or vengeance for
Mentana,n embroidered in white on the breast
for the historic red tunic worn so persist
emily by their well-known veteran leader. The
simultaneous occurrence of these suspicious
events has excited the Pontidcal authorities to
unusual vigilance. The licenses have been
withdrawn from all the wine shops situated in
the Roman Campagna, and every place of
seeming congregation for the radicals is closely
watched. The Papal Government has been
considerably disturbed lately by statements of
renewal and extension of clandestine revolu-
tonary intrigues against the temporal authority
of the Pope, and their officers call attention TO
the fact that Genoa journal, the Douere, pub
llshed the following note from Garibaldi short
time since:-
Dear Rovaegi:-I hope to go to Rome with
YOU but fear it will be very late if the prize sts
shops are not closed in the rest OF Italy.
Yours, G. GARIBALDI
The Gdzettd FHdlid, at about the same
period printed the folio wiug:-"R Revolutionary
enroments have been taking place and con-
tnue. 1t is not for us to say who are the en-
rollers and who the enrolled. We only warn
the Kings government of one thng-that It
ought to be watchful if it does not wish to be
led into error"
The Franco-R Roman works at the Suburban
camp will be Of formidable character, and the
revolutionists, it is supposed, contemplated
their destruction when,in an unfinished cond-
ton, knowing that if completed they will be at
once occupied by considerable Papal army,
countries of Europe. ..
As if to show a state Of incipient preparation
for war the Pontidcal military almanac has
been distributed to the diplomatic body at
Rome. II sets forth that in the Papal army
there are eight generals, twenty-tour chaplains,
and 7O4 officers. thus divided as to nationality:
AGA Italians, 129 French, SO Swiss, 19. G ermans,
20 Belgians, Dutchmen, and English.

NAPTHYL. CARMINE.-M. Vohl prepares this
dye by first dissOlviDg twelve parts of naptha-
line in 100 parts of sulphuric acid, and adding,
by degrees, eighty-nine per cent of bichro-
mate of potash. After the reaction has ter

ployed to neutralize the solution, which,
after being boiled for quarter of an hour, is
filtered to separate the oxide of chromium.
The solution has now beautiful golden color,
but on adding hydrochlorio or sulphuric acid
an abundant preoipitate is obtained, which is
napthylcarmine. This product is an acid,
