 The steamer Arrowsmith, which took an excursion party down the Potomac yesterday, encountered @ terrific storm of wind and rain of Bluff Point. The storm came up the river from the Chesapeake and struck the point where the steamer lay with such fury as to tear large branches from the trees and aa fhor1 air. One of the ifeboats on the steamer was lifted off the hurricane deck and carried about two hundred yards. The storm, al- though of short duration, was quite as vio- lent as the one which swept over this city on Monday night. The steamer was forced against her wharf and her side above the lover deck crushed in, but the injury was not of such of a nature as to in any way dis able her. The worst feature of the storm was the blowing down of the bath houses, in which were some of the excursionists All escaped serious injury except one young lady, who was caught in the debris and had her left arm fractured near the shoulder. The steamer left the point for home immediately after the storm had passed and arrived here safely about half past o'clock last night.
