Tile report of the Court of Inquiry con
vetted on the 15th of October to investi
!'l
gate the circumstances attending the ex
ono at Allegheny Arsenal, Pittsburgh,
the 17th of September, has just been
made public. The Court says : "We
find that the cause of the explosion could
not be satidactoY - taed • but,that
asce , m
possiblv
; possibly the ygung man Smith, deceased,
, linay have caused it by jumping upon the
„Ipowder barrels, which may have ad pow
!iier dust upon their heads; that h Colonel
Symington, commandant at the Arsenal,
i , took every care and precaution suggested
A ey experience and prudence to guard
against accidents of every kind ; that in
the administration of his duties he has ex
libited every evidence of zeal and integrity
And that he has exerted his whole ability
Sze the discharge of his duties for the pub
lic interest, although occasionally con
fined by sickness." Lieutenant Colonel
george Andrews, A. S. A., was president
of the Court. - The President has ap
proved the finding.
:limportant to Grain Dealers.
Commissioner of Revenue decides
that a person who buys grain strictly on
hie own account and sends it to another
market, there to be sold on commission,
is:not thereby made subject to any license
tar under the excise law. If he buys grain
solely for another person or firm, acting
as , ;their agent, he is still exempt from
liCense. If he buys for more than one]
Nifty he comes within the provisions of
section 64, article 14, and requires a
license as a commercial broker. This ap
plies only ; to instances where grain is
bought and sent to another market for
salO. When the grain is sold by the pur
chaSer he requires a dealer's license, but
whdther wholesale or retail, muat be left
entirely to the judgment of the assessor
in each case.

The Navy Department has received in
formation, that , acting Master Warrdn,
commanding the S. steamer Daylight,
on the morning of the 30th ult., while On
his way to the blockading station off Wil
mington, N. C., and when about three
miles front New Inlet, discovered a
schooner lying at anchor between Stump
Inlet and New Topsail inlet. When she
got within a mile of her, the first and se4-
ond cutters of the Daylight, under corn
mead of acting Master Gecaron, were
sent to board and examine the vessel.
Before the vessel was reached her creW
shipped the cable to allow the schooner to
drift, and fled to the shore in their boutsi
and thus escaped. The boats of the DaYl
fight reached her, and she was boarded
before drifting ashore: Finding no one
aboard, they made sail on her and brought
her off. There was no other vessel in
sight at the-time, and not a gun was fired
in making the capture. The parties es
caping from the vessel, after landing,
fired two musket shots at the boat's crew,
but no one was hit. No flag of any kind
or papers could be found on her. She
proved to be the Racer, of Nassau, N P
and was loaded principally with salt,
She has been sent to New 1 ork for adju
dication.
Rear Admiral Lee has forwarded to the
Navy Department a report;of commander
Glitz, of the gunboat Ponobscot, off Shal
lott; Inlet, North Carolina, detailing the
circumstances of the capture of the Eng
lish schooner Pathfinder, which was dis
covered on the 2d inst. close in with the
land. Her crew were driven ashore by the
rifled gun of the Penobscot, while trying to.
tow the vessel towards the coast. Acting
Ensign Edwards, who boarded the schoon
Cr, found her cargo to consist of salt, olive
oil, boots, shoes, liquors, etc. Her de ,
struction Wll3 occasioned by the fact of the
tide and surf preventing the possibility of
getting her afloat. She was set on fire on
the afternoon of the 21 inst., every prepa
ration having been made for that event I
early in the day. , •
Commande r Clitz reports havin o n I

quadrant, and a time piece.
Further information from Commander
G. H. Scott, of the Mantanzas, says that
the English bark Sophia had been cap-
tured by the Daylight, Acting Master
Warren, and the Mount Vernon, Lieut.
Trathere commanding. Their report show
the loss of three officers, three boats and
eighteen men. It appears that the English
vessel was discovered Cu ?kis morning ofi
the 4th inst. lying at anchorage near Ma
sonville, where she made sail and stood
for the beach, which she struck at half
past
nine in the morning.
Boats were dispatched to set fire to her,
which was effectively performed. During
the affair, the boats of the Daylight got'
ashore, and the Mount Vernon dispatched
boats to their assistance, while the two
vessels kept up a continuous fire on the
woods, to prevent the enemy from molest
ing our men. Great difficulty was ex
perienced in getting the boats off the
shore. When returning to the anchorage
it was discovered that acting Ensign Rob
erts and five seamen of the Mount Vernon,
with acting Assistant Paymaster Cl r} and
Coxswain Roberts and thirteen men, were
missing.
