IHE STEAMER CLoTILDA.-This iron steam
er, now lying at Union wharf, which was
wrecked at Wells beach last winter, has been
discharged of the remainder OF her cargo and
a survey directed upon her by order of the U.
>. District Court, to satisfy the claimants for
salvage, etc. The Clotlda has been cleansed
by direction of Capt. Pitman of New York
who represents the English Loyds, the insur-
ing party. The steamer will go into the dry
dock to-day and tomorrow survey will take
place and an appraisal of her value made. II
is to be hoped that the necessary repairs will
be made in this city as there are those tho are
fully competent to make all needed repairs
upon her plates and engines. Why may not
such parties as the Portland Company or
Messrs. Charles Staples & Son take such iot
and do it up satisfactory in every respect? The
time must soon come, if it has not already
when iron plating must be repaired, and iror
plated ships built in this port.

Report from the Siguat Once.

WASHINGTON, August 21-7.3O P. M-The
barometer has not changed materially since
Sunday afternoon from Iowa and Missouri,
westward, to the Pacific. The area of the low
barometer on the lower Lakes has moved some
what to the southeast, but the pressure has
risen very rapidly north and east of Ohio.
The barometer remains low on the South At
lantc coast. Fresh winds from the North and
South have very generally prevailed in the
Southern and Gulf States with hazy weather.
Light rain is now reported from the Carolina
coast. Increasing easterly winds continue
from Cape Hatteras to Cape Cod, with cloudy
and threatening weather from the New Eng.
land coast to the lower Lakes. Clear weather
with smoke add haze is reported from Michi-
gan to Tennessee and westward to the Missis-
sippi river.
Probabilities Easterly winds will probably
continue in the Middle and Eastern States,
and it is probable that a storm of some seyeri-
ty will continue at considerable distance off
the South Atlantic coast, with easterly winds
and threatening weather from Georgia to New
Jersey. Cloudy weather will probably con-
tinue in the New England States and nOrther-
ly wind and warm, hazy weather from Michi-
gan to Alabama and westward.
