The Pennsylvania is not the only ocean steam
ship detained in its western voyage by head
winds and fogs. All the steamers coming this
way within the last fortnight have made long
trips. Yesterday five steamers arrived at New
York from Europe as follows
Minnesota from Liverpool, June 25th 13 days.
City of London, Liverpool, June Goth, 10
days
Greece, Liverpool, juno 25th. 10 days.
Samaria, Liverpool June 9th IA days.
Pembroke, Cardiff, June 23d. 15 days.
Considering the distance between New York
and Philadelphia the voyage Of the Pennsylva-
mia was quicker than either of these. The City
of Washington, wrecked on Saturday off Nova
Scotia, sailed June 24th from Liverpool, and
her voyage to New York if it had not been un-
interrupted by the disaster. would have been
about fourteen days, The captain of the Penn
sylvania considered safety rather than speed, in
running through fogs.
The same winds that have retarded steamers
coming westward, have hastened those going
eastward. Three of those which sailed from
New York on Saturday, June 2Sth, reached their
respective destinations in Europe on Monday
morning, July 7th making their trips in nine
days.-Fhild. Bulletin.

ARREST OF TWO OF THEM, CARPENTER BRING ONE
THEIR SUBSEQUENT EscAPE-wHAT THE GOV
ERSoR THINKS OF CARPENTER.
On Saturday last, two of the four prisoners
who escaped from the Dover jail, week or two
ago, were captured near Kirkwood in New Cas-
tie county making their way northward One
of them was Carpenter, under sentence of death
for an alleged attempt at rape, but respited for
a time by the Governor.
After their capture they we're placed on the
cars to be taken to Dover. and all went ON well
until the train reached Townsend. Here one of
the two captors left the cars to telegraph the
Sheriff of Kent county of their coming, leaving
the two prisoners in charge of the other. But
in a twinkling the two prisoners bounded
through the car door and soon put sufficient dis
tance between themselves and their pursuers to
e.ude them. They are still at large
The news Of the capture Of Carpenter spread
rapidly throughout Dover, aud by the time the
train was due there a very large crowd had
& lthered a the depot Imagine the disappoint-
m ,nt which the knowledge OF the escape pro-
duced on that crowd
tits given out that Governor Ponder will
grant no further respite to Carpenterf il he should
be captured again. His interference, thus far,
1t is said, was only made under the weight of a
strong influence, but he now positively declines
to take any further action, if what We hear be
true. He looks upon Carpenter as dangerous,
sensual man, and is unwilling to assume the re-
sponsibility OF his release upon the community.

RRouGHT INTO coURT-THE CANAL CCMPANIEsAP
PEALIEG TO THE LAw-AN NINTEREsrtSd CASE AND
THE OCCASION WHICH GAVE RISE TO IT. a. "
An interesting and important case is about to
bo docketed upon tho records of the United
States District Court, under the Navigation laws
which involves the question of the liability Of
Canal Companies to license, as other boats. for
entry into ports whore license is required. The
owners of but two canal boats are parties to the
suit, but il ia understood that the Lehigh Nayi-
CATION %. arc backing them. so that the case
assumes greater importance for this reasop.
The foundation for the suit was the requiring
by Collector Nolen of eleven canal boats which
had entered the port of Wilmington several
weeks ago, without license TO conform to the
usual custom, The captains of nine of the
boats complied with the Collectors order, but
the captains of the two others-.j'utJe Ross and
No 73l-refused and were detained Word was
at once communicated to Michael Uhler Of Uh-
lertown, Pa, owner OF the first named boat, who
came on to Wilmington, and with menacing and
threats expressed his determination to cut his
boat loose from her moorings at Lobdells wharf.
Previously, however, the Collector had applied
and obtained guard for the boats from Capt.
Fengar, of the Revenue Gutter HdntiltOn then
lying in the Ohristiana. and MIR. Uhlers deter
mination to remove his boat was foregone in
Difference to that OF the guard placed over it,
This is how Capt. Fengar becomes mixed up / !
the suit.
No official notification of the action Of Mr..
Uher has yet been served upon Collector Nolen
and Capt. Fengar, or at least had not been up till
10 O'Clock, tins morning, though it is looked for
to-day. Geo. O Gordon. Esq has been retained
by the Plaintiffs and will prosecute the suit.
In the interim between the detention Of the
boats and the preliminary proceedings Of the
suit, Collector Nolen communicai ed with the
Secretary of the Treasury. stating the action
which he had taken, and asking further instruc-
tions. 1t is only necessary to add that the Sec
retary endorsed what had been done, and sus-
tanned Collector Nolen in his Interpretation Of
the law bearing upon the question at issue, viz
that canal boats are aa much vessels of COM
morce those propelled by steam or sails, and
as such are liable to the same duties and penal
ties ~
