With regard to the rocks, the Gains
and the tortuous channels of the Red
Sea, which constitute the chief obstacles
to tho use of the canal by the larger
class of merchant men, plans have al
ready been elaborated in England, with
q view to the building of class of YES
soils suited to this trade, and carrying
each sufficient steam-power to assist her
through tho canal and down the Red
Sea. For the despatch of mails and the
transport of troops this route will be
Immediately available; and although it
will take time to conquer English pre-.
JUDGES and predictions, yet in time
the bulk of the India trade must come
this way.-From What l saw of the

SHIP BUrLD1Na.-The ship building
on the Clyde was rarely so brisk or so
profitable as at present. During the
month of June there was an aggregate
of 20,31S tons launched, and the orders
for the ensuing month would be quite
as large. Referring to these statements,
the New York Express remarks:
"Ihese orders are not all British, but
come in good part from the continent,
the superior facilities of the Clyde CIV
ing builders advantages enjoyed no.
where else. Coal and iron are on the
spot, capital is plenty, and labor is
abundant and cheap. There was a
time when our American ship yards
were as busy as those of Scotland-a
time, too, when it was not an uncom-
mon thing for foreign merchants to send
their orders to be executed here-but
that was before the protection party
got possession of the government, and
before there was such a turn to national
legislation as to shut up our ship yards
at home, and throw nearly the whole
business into the hands of our rivals"

Important to Liquor Dealers

In case before the acting commits
sioner of internal revenue last week,
the following points were considered
and decided:
l. A has paid special tax as whole
sale and retail liquor dealer, and makes
sales to B at one time and place of 10
gallons of whisky, Al gallons rum, u
gallon gin and a gallons brandy. The
questions were then submitted. Are
the last three packages the sale of a
wholesale or retail dealer ? Do they
require stamping, or not ?
2. A has paid special tax as retail
dealer, and makes sale to B of d gall
Ions of rum and Al gallons of wine, in
wooden packages, at one time and
place. Can he do so under his license
8. Are retail dealers in liquor con-
fined to sales in wooden packages gaug-
ing less than five gallons7 Has the
size of the package anything to do in
the case .aE '.-a
The decision is, in substance, as fol-
lows =,
l. A, as wholesale dealer, cannot
sell package containing less than five
gallons. The sale of several packages
which separately contain less, but in
the aggregate contain moro than five
proof gallons, cannot be made by a
wholesale dealer. The sale of the three
last named packages is that of retail
dealer.
2. A retail dealer is limited in his
sales to less quantity than five gallons.
The sales of several packages Of the
same kind of spirits at the same time.
each containing less than five proof
gallons, but which contain In the ag-
gregate more, cannot be made by re-
tail dealer, but he may sell several
packages of different kinds of spirits,
each containing less than five proof
gallons, although the aggregate may be
more. The sale of each kind is con-
sidered as separate SALE.
8. All packages filled by a wholesale
dealer must be gagged and stamped
under section 25; and in addition there
to, if containing ten gallons or more, to
be marked and branded under section
Al, act of July 20, 1868. Wholesale
dealers must put up their spirits in
such packages as are susceptible of re-
ceiving these stamps and marks or
brands, and admitting of their proper
cancellation; and as glass vessels are
not of that character, they should not
be used by wholesale dealers. No
gauging, marking, stamping or brand
ing is required on retail Dealers pack
age. Such dealers, therefore, can use
packages of any material they please.

Here in Broadway the other day the

The Speaking at observation-disclosures
n Riot

The speaking of Senter and Stokes, at
Brownsville yesterday was attended by
about one thousand persons. Every avail
able foot OF standing room around the
stand was occupied and many persons
took positions on the limbs of trees.
Gov. Senter opened the debate, and
spoke from twelve to two o'clock, when
Stokes took the stand and continued to
speak, when our informant left at half past
three. While Gov. Senter was speaking a
great burly, impudeut negro climbed a
tree and placed himself Immediately
in the way of white man
who was previously occupying the tree.
The white man demonstrated and at last
to protect his rights took his pistol and
struck at the negro. The negro caught
the pistol, when the man attempted 10
fire it, but the hammer struck on the ne
groe's thumb. The negro then kicked the
white man from the tree. This was the
cue for the negroes present to draw their
kuives and pistols and threaten the
whites who attempted to protect the white
man from further injury, and for some
time it was feared there would be riot,
but the disturbance was fually quieted
down. The man who was kicked from
the tree by the negro was badly injured
and was not expected to live through the

'HE THUNDER $ TORN YESTERDAY.
Freaks of the LIghInIUg
Several Men Injured.

About 3 o'clock yesterday evening this
locality was visited with wind and rain
storm, which lasted for over half an hour.
The lightning for the time being was vivid
and followed in qnick succession. About
two and half miles from The city on the
Chicken pike, a tree standing in the grove
Of Judge H. Fl. Harrison, was struck BY
lightning, and shivered. Within a few
feet of this tree, stood shanty erected for
the benefit Of wolkmen on the Tennessee
and Pacific Railroad. 10 this house were
some twenty or twenty-five men, all of
whom were shocked, and some knocked
down, stunned, and burnt. The following
persons were injured
Joseph Clements, severely burnt on the
lower part of the bowels, though not con-
sidered dangerous.
John Chenault, burnt from his waist
dowa.
John Roach, burnt slightly on the hip.
Lem Poison, slightly injured.
A colored man, name unknown, burnt
on the legs.
Several other persons were slightly hurt.
These workmen were in the employ OF
Breen Brothers, Whohave the contract for
the second section of the Pacific railroad.
There were four kegs of powder in the
room at the time, which fortunately es-
capped the attention of the electric fluid.
A cart about thirty feet from the tree,
was turned bottom side up over the horses
back. A hog near the tree was instantly
killed.
There were also some fifteen or twenty
persons in another shanty about thirty
yards from the former, and those inside
were of the OPINION that the lightning
struck near the door. They state that the
ground which was saturated with water
was instantly dried up. All inside were
violently shocked, and some thrown to the
ground.
In the first named shanty there was a
man that had been afflicted with rheuma-
tism for several weeks past, and an hour
after the shock he got up well man, and
said that he was entirely relieved from all
pain, and felt as we'll as he ever did in his
life.
In the vicinity of the city in other di'
rectiOns, the wind was high, but with the
exception of blowing down the corn on the
Louisville and Nashville railroad, some
FIVE or six miles out, we heard of NO other
