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,

.AUCIDE . 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

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.

As the Parisians found out that the Sultan
is so remarkably moral a man; and that he
was proof against the seductions of the vir

good idea to send him to Florence, in order
to give Victor Emmanuel a sound lecture on
morality. It appears that the Re Galan

he conferred the title of Countess de Mille

Madame ltatami thinks this is too bad. The
malicious Italians are wicked enough to assert
that Madame would not object to take the
