siEsm He spoke Of the fact that In England,
whenever the air "God save the Queen was

heads, and said that this practice ought 70

spangled Banner" or Hail Columbia" was
played. At the conclusion Of his remarks the
band struck Up the "siar-SpanRled Banner"
when the audience jumped 10 their feet with
one impulse, and stood with bowed heads until
the last note had ceased. ItwAs an impressive

The Inman line ship City Of Richmond,
bound for Liverpool England from New York,
was found TO be on FIRE on Tuesday night, June
g. A lady cabin passenger, upon getting out
of her berth, found the hoor Of the stateroom
very hot, and Immediately gave the alarm,
when an examination was made. This resulted
IN the discovery Of smoke issuing from the
forehold, the spell indicating that the cotton,
Of which there was 1000 bales in the hold, wal
on fire. Preparations were Immediately made
for leaving the shin, while most Of the crew
were put 10 work 10 cxtinguish the fire. Their,

The Hnytien InsurrectIon.

A dispatch was received by the State Depart
ment from Minister Fred Douglass on June
To- which was supplemental 70 his dispatch OF
May rs There were but few details given Of
the late riots In Hayti, Minister Douglass con-
hnng himself 20 the statement that the insur-
rectiOn did not amount to anything, and that
IL was little more than a street riot, IN which
but one or two lives were lost. NotwithstRnd-
ing the very temperate report of Minister
Douglass, State and Navy Department officials
anticipate trouble with the Black Republic.
They know how mercurisl Hsytiens are. and
they appreciate the fact that these street riots,
NJ our Minister characteriEes them, are pretty
sure precursors Of fullblown revolution, and
the anxiety TO ascertain the exact situation has
led the State Department 10 telegraph Minister
Douglass for further and fuller particulars.
Secretary of the Navy Tracy has not yet
decided whether the state Of affairs at Port-Au-
Prince requires the presence of American men
of-war, and this question will not be deter
mined until a further report Is had from
Minister Douglass If the slightest necessity
exists. vessels will be Immediately ordered to
Port-au-Prince. The question of closing the
United States Legation in Port-au-PTince has
been seriously considered by the Government,
and this will be done If q revolution should
break out
