It progressed for nearly two hours before becoming alarming. After that time, as the news spread among the populace, it became fanatical and all foreigners met with in the streets were assaulted. The original dispute was between a Greek or Maltese and Arab. The rioters were augmented bv Bedouins residing outside of the walls, M ho rushed in town for plunder and pillage. This the authorities stopped as soon as possible by closing the city* gates. Since the day of the riot a panic has existed among foreigners, and their exodus has been very great. On the 1st inst., I called upon Governor Omar Pasha and stated that as America was at peace with his country, I did not consider it proper that American naial officers (in order to prevent insult or attack) should be obliged to visit on shore without their uniforms, and asked whether it would be safe for them to go there in their uniforms. He replied he thought it was safe, provided thev came ashore in the day nnil iliil tint inoif tlto nnfcl/irla tn make euro of it, he would detail sn ollicer of his guard to accompany any and all officers from the tleet who might wish to land, which offer 1 accepted anu accordingly issued a special order for officers to visit Alexandria only between the hours of 10 a. m. and 4 p. m., and then only in uniform and in company with an officer of the Egyptian army. The only Americana I can learn of at present are two missionaries, on board ship; one man from New Orleans on board ship; Judge Forman of the Mixed Court, on shore at Alexandria; C. Long, acting consular agent, on shore at Alexandria; General Stone and family, in the service of the Khedive, on shore at Cario; Vice Consul General Camonoe, on shore at Cairo. The Consul General of Sweden called on board to return thanks f6rthe offer of refuge, which offer lie will avail himself in case of necessity, Sweden not having a vessel in port. Tlie admiral states he lias given refuge to all persons of any nationality asking protection whose country has no vessel of war in rwirt. " . - Commander Batchelder, of the United States Bteamer Galena, says tliat seven of his officers were on shore at tlm time of tho riot, but all cscaped without'insult or serious molestation. The Galena received on board all who claimed American citizenship, men, women! and children, to tho number of fifty, and also received on board certain Austrian and German subject* withon protection. The whole number on boar* wassuty. I Tho number 0I refugees becoming ? great on board the Galena, the comman der arranged witli tho master of an Italiai 1 vessel to receive them, paying thereto $2j> i?er day.

Corbin and Hock well arc not only wholly uncalled for, bu malicious iu the extreme. The malice is no on the part of the correspondents win have printed them, for the sub Blanco of them lias been furnished by those who might be properly ex peeled to represent facts as they are. *Th? truth is that the attacks spring from tlx personal spite of officers who are seeking ti use tho press to advance interest of their own. The relations o these three officers to President Garfieh were well known. Ho had close relation of friendship with each of them before In was President, and he chose to trust then and advise with them after he becaim President. This excited bitter jealousie in certain political, as well as military quarters. But since Gen. Garlield's deatl these officers have attended closely tothei official duties. They have not aiternpte< to direct or control anything outside c their legitimate field of work. They hav< been even scrupulously careful in this re sped. They have claimed nothing on ac . count of their former relations, and hav fully recognized aud been loyal to th 1 new administration of aflaire. The curren 1 attacks upon them are totally uncalled foi and iu every respect unjust. WANHINGTOX .NOTES.

J The LriulUh If iMlon-FoMlbllltleit of (be MUr Bo?te ProMCBlUni. ? Toxo Branch, July 24.'? Attorney Gen- 1 11 eral Browster came on from Washington r Saturday for a few days of rest at Uio IIow'[ land House, where his family has been for ' several weeks. He was asked what truth Q there waa in the rei>ort that he has been or is to be tendered tho English mission ? ' "There is no foundation for it." lm Raid. j "Indeed, I have no reason to beliovo that I n any change in }he mission Is conteinplaa ted." i To a question as to tho Star route cases Mr. Brewster said: "I would eay it haa t been impossible for mo to take a more i active part in tho conduct of these cases, i g When appointed Attorney Geueral I ' i hoped and expected to be able to give i . them aa close and undivided attention as t when I was of the special counsel. It was l t tho wish of tho President that tho Attorney t a General should personally bo present at ? - the trial, but the exigencies of my new 1 duties soon made mo know that this was out of the question. The Attorney General j i can no longer be the mere forensic advo- t e cate of the government, lie is at the head ( d of a department which has so many and i b such important obligations, connected f f with almost every question of law that 1 affects the government, that it is im- | b possible for him to devote himself to any e one question without neglecting others i i? that demand his careful thought and exe amlnation. Kach day brings calls from i s some department calling foran opinion on j ', the questions sent to him by the President < ti and Cabinet. "When the first Chinese emi- j r station bill was before the President ques1 tions were referred to the Department of ] f Justice which required the most earnest i i study and consideration. So with the < ! Fits'John Porter case. So with the twelve i : hour law and the application to respite e Guiteau in the week preceding his execu- 1 e tion. In that case all the petitions and j t papers were referred to me. It was a ] serious and an unpleasant obligation, but i any neglect or evasion of it was of necessity out of thequestiou. The Cabinet duties j are of themselves most exacting, and they i are numerous and various. When the ap- 1 c pointment of the tariff commissioners was discussedjn the Cabinet there were sea- t w sions of five hours each for five successive i 1 days during near three weeks. I have, e however, endeavored to lose no detail of the star route prosecutions.

I aiii !* preseot in court whenever possible, and at ? t first was there often. 1 was the other day ; * compelled to apologize to Judge Wylie ? for the necessity of leaving during the 1 ' session to attend a special meeting of the i Y Cabinet.

Va., July 24.?A cor- ( 1 respondent engaged, during the past week, r | in looking up crop prospects, finds that in t j Kanawha, this county, there are line ' j chances for a good yield of corn, provided j the rains do not continue as they have during the past month. The farmers have ] t been quite busy in harvesting wheat, and ' 4 in consequence thereof, they could not pay ' [ that attention to working their.corn crop j "t which it demanded. As a general thing, a the corn is clean and the stocks are large, 1 which gives promise of a lull yield, proba- * 3 bly much better than has been for years, 1 ? or at least that is the hope of the farmers. 1 i It is feared that tlie wheat will not yield 1 , as expected, as upon examination it is } found that the heads are not so well filled, t owing to the fact that many of the pods I have turned out with blighted grains in j . them. I The hay crop was never better, in the memory of the "oldest," tlian this year. I "Where"the former yield averaged about ' two tons per acre, it is believed that the < ' game lanu will now give two and a half s . to three tons per acre. In this immediate. } neighborhood there is more mining and . , less farming than in any other section of - the State. On the whole, the various crops t throughout the counties of the Third dis- t ' trict promise to yield more abundantly than t i anv year since the great crop of 1870. My . ? information was derived iroin farmers ; whom I have met in the city during the c - past week. " c Huntingdon, W. Va., July 24.?The c I prospect of a large yield of corn in this . . locality is uood. Rains prevented early 1 ? planting,and consequently thecrop is notas ( ; mr uuvauccu as usual at tins season,out itis 1 growing finely, looks healthy, and farmers take a cheerful view of their fall prospects. The continuous rains two or three weeks ago, caused some alarm among farmers for the safety of the crop, but the weather improved, the ground is in good workable condition, and generally the crop looks well. According to the best information that can be obtained the acreage is estimated to be at least one-third larger than it was last year, and considerably larger than in '79 and SO. The high price of corn prevailing last year and during the winter . months induce fanners to prepare for large planting. The wet weather,however, curtailed their expectation somewhat, and yet the fields are more numerous and extensive than for the past three years.

Buell 51,000 by direction oI Brady, Jess his in- ( lebteduess $500. Brady had a half interest j in the Peterson draft. Tho witness believ* , xl Jerome J. llines had caused tiie annulment of liis(tlie witness') contract, and he lid not think he had in reality failed. The emissions ho had secured amounted to between $0,000 and $8,000. Mr. Merrick then began the redirect eximination. The witness said ho found ipon reflection that he had made two atlilavits to secure the remission of his fines nstead of one. They were upon the same mbjcct, however. Mr. McSweeney here asked permission ;o examine the witness. A dispute followed touching upon his rights to do tlito. Mr. Merrick had assented to the reoupst is a matter of courtesy, but Ingersoll demanded the privilege as a right, saying he Aould as soon rcceive an injury as'a favor froin the other side. Mr. McSweeney was finally allowed to proceed and asked the witness why he did aot go and call a policeman when Brady seized his $22,500 worth of notes and "from iie robber rend his prey?" Tho question was ruled out, however, jecause it had been asked in substance before. Merrick was directed to take the witness by the Court, who said he would have ao speech making upon that occasiou. Witness was asked to produce the "Ginrer letter" from Brady, but objection was r uade and sustained" because it had not ; been put in evidence. After recess Merrick asketl witness what lisposition had been made of the indictments against him. He answered he was tried and acquitted. Another unsuccessful attempt was made ay Merrick to introduce, tlio "Ginger etter," the court holdingitwas inadtuissal is evidence at this stage of the trial. A letter from Attorney Hine to Mr. Walsh ivas put up. It merely transmits the account upon which the suit was brought in Sew York. The object of its introduction ivas to explain the discrepancy between ihe accounts in two civil suits. Tiie witness indentified several drafts givyn him by Brady upon the Indiauola and Corpus Dhristi route. They are each drafts for ?l,250, drawn by Price, and were given to the witness by Brady in part payment of ills indebtedness. Mr. Merrick inquired if Mr. Brady had jfTercd within 18 month? to compromise Iris indebtedness, but objection was made by several counsel for the defense at once. Mr. Merrick explained he expected to how that Brady had made such an oiler in Tanuarv last, and he thought it would jjo :o show an admission on Brady's part of 'lis indebtedness. The Court ruled the question out, saying the man had a right to auv his i>eace. Witness resuming said he had not made public any transaction at the interview bemuse he usually went to his attorney in such cases, and because I'.nidv was then in- . rolved in a scandal. He thought if he cept'quiet Brady might s<?e tit to repay him ifter considering the fact that the witness lield the Kellogg drafts and other irapor&i\t papers. The witness was then dismissed, after notification from the prosecu:ion to consider himself as still under sub- . ?iena. 1 Court soon afterwards adjourned. j 1MKR.VAI. MACHINES. 1 I I.otIn Officiallliindx-Loiiilon"TlniM" | on the l>ynnxnlte School. I Philadelphia, July 24.?Six of the \ Fenian infernal machines manufactured by ( jeorge Ilolgate, of No. 1502 Soutli Juniper itreet, and shipped to Liverpool, are now s n the possession of Government Detectives n this city. In the latter part of August 1 he English authorities received informa- j ion of the consignment to Liverpool, and ' hen on their way from America, of a nura- 1 >cr of these machines concealed in barrels * >f cement Sir W. llarcourt, the Secretary ( if State for the Home Department, at once 1 :ommunicate<l with the Commissioners of ( Customs, and a confidential agent of the 1 Customs and a Metropolitan police ollicer 1 sere dispatched from London to Liverpool ' o await the arrival of vessels which had 1 >cen designated. These officers reached heir destination only a few hours before he arrival of the first of the vessels. The s rargoes were accordingly searched in con- ? :ert with the police and customs authori- ^ ies at Liverpool, and in the first vessel six | >f these machiues were discovered in a c >arrel marked "paint." The machines t vere further concealed by being filled 1 iround with cement. Four more were j ound iu the second vessel packed in i he same manner." The h'nglish Gov- t jrnment at once employed every resource t it its disposal to detect the consignees in r lingland and the consignors in thiscoun- f ry. The authorities, at Washington di- c ected that a rigid search be made for the 5 :ulpable parties in America. A bill of c ading on the barrels indicated that the c igents of death had started on their ocean royage from Philadelphia, and to aid in c he detection of the agents here, the barrel a :ontainingthe six machines was shipped a jack to this city. It has been in pesses- I iion of the Government officers stationed v lere ever since. The history of the (lis- f >atcli of the machines was the subject of t inceasing investigation for months. Un- r imited funds were placed at the disposal r )f the detectives to secure admissions from t inspected* parties, as well as the aid of t persons not connected with the depart* f nent, but who were supposed to be in j position to throw light on the hellish t schemes. It was ascertained that the two i: jarrels discovered at Liverpool had been c ihioped from Dock street wharf to Boston, a tod thence transferred to the ocean steam- a !!*. The detectives were gradually tracing t he machines to their origin, but after the c :hange in the State Department the United t states Government suddenly stopped the s investigations upon receiving information ? hat for reasons not stated the British 7 Ministry did not care to press the inquiry i further. c The machine consists of two cases with a c ipaco between, in which the explosive is to \ >e placed, the outer case being of zinc and c he'inner of brass, which contains a cheap g lix-hour clock-work movement made by s he Ansonia Clock Company and sold in c his city. Upon the edge of a brass disk, 7 Iriven by a main spring, bears a lever i vhich communicates with a trigger. When ? he disk has rotated a given time a notch a )n the edge allows the lever to fall, which 1 iction liberates a powerful sprinir hammer, i rhis hammer foils upon a cap on a nipple, iring a fuso which leads to the explosive irranged between the cases. The box is ilx inches square at the ends and twelvo < nches long. Those now in the city were > :acb charged with eleven cartridges, each f ?ntaining three ounces of a nitrtf-lignine ^ sompound, which resembles, but which 1 ias proven not to be, dynamite. It is, how* ? over, of a highly dangerous character, resembling gun-cotton. Kach of the ten boxes contained a charge of over two pound* of explosive, nud one of the barrels contained in nil nearly sixteen pounds of this nitrodignine compound. No more deadly implement has ever been conceived by man. The withdrawal of tho Government sleuth-hounds from tho scent accounts for tho freedom with which llolgate now talks of his death-dealing clocks. London, July 24.?The Thin in an editorial Bays: "Tho license that American criminal law allows to dynamite projects is a scandal and a fihanio to American legislation. A inoro enormous scandal is the attitude which public opinion in America assumes toward them. Never was there a body of national opinion so inquisitive and keen which could have shown itself tnoro feeble and inert in the defense of 1 public morality than tho opinion in America since tho dynamite school became notorious. Americans must determine it they will continue to be subject to this reproach. thi: mtuiick. n?i? A. A. U'ortinirii Hold a .Heeling autl Determine lo Keep Up tlie Strike.

Mr. Jarrett itates that he gave the reporters some joints on the matter, but that one of them specially added thereto to such an extent is to misrepresent tho geueral drift of his emarks entirely. "What is the exact situation this mornng, shorn of gossip and unpublished secrets?" was asked of him by a* reporter. "I received no official information until ;his morning," he replied, "and here it is. This [exhibiting a letter] is the report of he meeting held bv the A. A. Lodge on Saturday night. You can read for yourself hat it states the men have declined the nr ogant alternative offered by the president )f tho company and have resolved to hold )ut for what they originally struck work. The contest there is not a matter )f wages; it is for their rights as nuzeus?me nent not so niucu to nave j heir organization recognized, us tlint it , ihall not be meddled with by the rolling * nill company. As to men "who formerly j nade eight dollars a day being compelled , 0 begin at the bottom of the ladder at , ;1 50 per day, as alleged in the Cleveland , elegram published this morning, the thing t s silly. If they go to work it will be at J heir old jobs or not at all. Hut, as I have , ilready stated, the decision of the Saturday ] light meeting was to continue the strike s or the original object, aud that is where \ iie affair rests at present." "Then, there is nothing in the published story that you would advise the men to go j .0 work if they want to ?" "Nothing whatever; that is out of my province. I do not advise in any stxcfi :ase to go to work or not to go to" work. ' rhe men themselves decide such matters." 1 The Cleveland telegram referred to stated j :hat a committee of the strikers hail called )u the president of the rolling mill com- . ?any with an overture looking to a return j ;o work, but were informed that he would j lot treat with a committee, and if they f ,ranted work to go as individuals to the superintendent and make application. x Hiis is where the split is between'the con- < estante?the company refusing to recognize f >rganizatiou even so far as to confer with , 1 committee renresentin?*strikers who wnm * rilling to resurge work."

A committee of strikers lave conferred with the owners and have jeen told that the situations now vacant :ould be filled by the strikers, but that ion-union men would not be discharged ogive them places The report of the :omraittee was considered at a recent meeting and a committee sent to confer with President Jarrett to-day.

"We understand i hat you intend to mike application to * Congress for services rendered by you in de- J ending Guiteau.

There is no similar j ict to pay the counsel of the person iniicted,yet the services of counsel for defense j nay be quite as important as the testimony j >f witnesses. It is to the credit of the pro- t ession that, as a general rule, when the i )ersou indicted i3 unable to pay counsel, ' here has been no difliculty m procuring j professional assistance, but the necessi- i y of making provisions for the com- \ sensation of eouuseh, under such circum- i itances, has been so strongly felt in some < )f the Suites, that they have provided for ( he payment of the defendant s counsel by . he Suite.
