CITY BULLETIN. THE ESNET ON TOE SC I I Lh I LL. - aring yesterday afternoon Fairmount was visited by a great'number of_people, who crowded the old round honk, mound dam and porch of the man the flood as it . poured over slob house, watin the dam. The river g was at times covered with old logs, trunks of trees, fences, &c., but nothing Of any value was seen to pass down. The half of an old barge, which had evidently long lain on the bank of the stream, floated down, and on reaching the dam was gracefully lifted almost out of the water, and then dashed into the whirling and foaming current beneath. As predicted in the BULLETIN yesterday, the water reached its height towards evening. At one time during the afternoon 'there were seven feet four inches of: water passing over the dam. • The water below the works, in consequence of the high tide. was within a few feet of the top of the dam and 'eight feet on the floor In the wheel houses, thus stopping the entire operation of the works. About four o'clock in the afternoon the river commenced to fall and continued to do so during the night. About half-past 9 o'clock last m citing the water in the turbine wheel-houses had subsided to a sufficient extent to admit of the working of three wheels. These wheels can be worked at low tide but cannot pump an adequate supply of water. 'Until the freshet has fully sub sided, it is therefore necessary that our citizens should use water as sparingly as possible,or there may be serious inconvenience in contequence of the reservoirs not kolding more than enough to supply the city for more than forty-eight hours. The Spring' Garden Water Works have been seriously damaged, and some time will be required to make the necessary repairs. The Pennsylvania Railroad wharves, extending from Market street to above Race, on the west side, were entirely under water, and a large num ber of cross-ties were carried away by the force of the current. There were a large number of coal oil barrels on the wharves which also shared a similar fate. The wharves belonging to the Philadelphia Gas Works were under water, and a large quantity of coal and coke,&e., were submerg. The lime kilns and puriying house of the company were also under water, and at 3% o'clock yesterday afternoon the river had risen two feet above the high water mark of the great freshet of 1828. The boiler and engine in the tube works of John H. Murphy tt.'Brothers, at Filbert street wharf, were submerged, and the floors were cov ered with about two feet of water... The firm was compelled in consequence to dfscontinue work. The water at Arch street extended up as far as Twenty-third street, and the railway track of the Schuylkill Railway Company was completely covered for over a square. , On both sides of the river the wharves were' totally submerged yesterday. but this morning they were all visible, the freshet having subsided to a sufficient extent. A great quantity of the rubbish which was washed down the river I was left upon the wharves by the receding water, and the scene this morning was curious and in teresting. - This morning there were about five feet of water passing over Fairmount dam. and the tide was still falling. The rain of today was not sufficient to cause any . further rise- The current was very swift. but with the exception bf some trees and the fragments of fences sweeping down, *there is nothing to show that any serious clarruige has been done upstream. As the freshet is rapidly subsiding, the probabili ties are that the Schuylkill will resume its usual quiet appearance wfthin the next twenty-four hours. CHARGED wtru Bcectstrr.—Thomss Ward, a yonug man who shipped at the Navy Yard yes terdiy, was arrested yilterday afternoon by Po liceman Grant. of the Seventh district, on the charge, of burglary. It seems that about a week ago - the beer -- saloon of Chrlstoph - Klenk, at America street and Montgomery avenue, was en tered through the transom over the front door. A young woman who came down stairs observed a man behind the bar and seized him. 'he two struggled, but the man finally broke away, seized a chair, blew out the light and then escaped through the transom. The thief got about $3O in money. _ Ward isidleged_to have been the fellow._ He had a hearing before Ald. Neill and was com mitted in default of $2,000 bail to answer at court, IN , TFITTE OF RENVAR rote Oarx.s..Ns OF PA- Triers.—This Insti.- ates from April 18, 1861, and is now pre 4 •d to offer a free pass to edu cational adv • es in various schools and col leges. sui to t.e needs and individual charac teristie- Patriot Orphans, who may , apply to the Corresponding Secretary, David P.

NT. —At a new school build ing in course of erection at Twentieth and Wood streets,yesterday afternoon, a derrick upon which stone was being hoisted gave way. Two men, named John Evans, aged thirty-eight years, residing in Carlton street below Twentieth and John Gyner, aged twenty-eight yea're; residing at S.eN enth and Sbippen streets, were seriously injured about the head and body.

LARCENY OF A BOAT AND RAILROAD IRON,- Michael Neary was arrebted yesterday, by the 'Anchor Pollee, at the second dock above Dock' street. on suspicion of larceny. He had a white skiff t 1 feet long, called "Lookout," and about 410 pounds of railroad iron, some rags, several brass candlesticks andlamps, and three patent scales. all of which are supposed to have been stolen. Neary was taken before Recorder tineu and committed in default of $l,OOO bail. GI:Al LAIICENY.-A colored individual named Edward Robinson, aged 57 years, was overhauled this morning at five o'clock, at Seventh and Pine streets. with a bundle which ho was scarcely able to carry. The policeman instituted an examina tion, and foUnd three iron gratings, which- had been stolen from the pavement at Seventh and Locust streets. Robinson was committed by Ald. Morrow. • Tug DELAWARE.—The tide in the Delaware to day is very high, and nearly all the wharves along the (rout of the city are submerged. Every thing destructible was removed during yester day, and therefore no serious damage has been done. The strelm is pretty clear from rubbish, and there are, as yet, no indications of a freshet in the interior. SUNDAY EXCURSIONS.-A verypleasant way of spending an afternoon or evening is by an ex cursion on the river. On Sundays the steamer John,A. Warner leaves at 1.45 and 6 o'clock P.

It appears that the Re Galan 'lmmo sadly needs such a lecture. - His late mistress, a drummer's daughter, on whom he conferred the title of Countess de Mille holt has already bad a great many fair suc cessors. The I4dy who possesses t "heart of the naughty King is a pretty danseuse from Venice. who accompanies him on all his ' hunting expeditions in the moantains. Even Madame ltatami thinks this is too bad.
