Now ready, at all tho Libral.lea, in 3 vols., 13 E ATRICE. By JULIA ICAVA.NAG Author I ADMIRAL PORTER'S REPORT. The New York papers publish the following re port from Admiral Porter : North Atlantic Squadron, U.S. Flagship Malvern, off Smithville, N.C., Jan. 20, 1865. Sir,—ln my lak I informed you that Fort Caswell had been blown up and evacuated in consequence of the fall of Fort Fisher. I sent Lieut. W. Cushing round in the Monticello to the western bar, to ascertain what had taken pla,cisi, and to ob tain aid.from the officers in command of the Nyack and Vicksburg, and take advantage of the occasion. Lieut. Cushing did not obtain the aid he required, for what reason I have not yet learned, but with his usual energy he pushed on in his boats, and found that Fort Cas well had been blown up, and Bald Head Fort destroyed. Fort Shaw also, and Fort Campbell to the westward of Caswell, had been abandoned. All these forts mounted nine and ten-inch guns, and Armstrong 150-pounders. Lieut. Cushing then pushed into Smithville, after hoist ing the flag of the Union over Caswell. The next thing I saw was the flag waving over Smith vile, which the rebels had left in a great hurry after they saw our boats approaching, leaving everything in the'beau tiful and heavy fort uninjured, and two 9-inch guns only spiked, in the fort at Deep Water Point. In the meantime I had succeeded in getting one gunboat, the Taco.ny, over the rip, and interior bar, and sent her up to Reeves Point to disable the guns at that place, about three miles on the west side of the river above Fort Fisher.

Resolved,—That should the Federal authorities refuse to . entertain terms of peace, by negotiation, and thereby deiy us our constitutional rights, that, for the purpose of more effectually maintaining those rights, and at the same time to avert, if possible, the fearful and humiliating fate otsub jugation, alike revolting to the feeling of freemen and re pugnant to the demands of justice, we, the representatives of this house, do unanimously pledge the undivided re sources of the Confederate States in the defence of our in alienable rights as freemen. The Confederate House of Representatives has passed a sweeping measure on the subject of exemp tions. It repeals what is known as the exemption clause, limits all exemptions of mail contractors, and revokes all exemptions and details heretofore made by the President and Secretary of War of per sons fit for active service, or not within certain particulars. This line completes the inner Metropolitan Railway sys tem, as sanctioned by Parliament after a lengthened inquiry, first before the joint committee, and afterwards before sepa rate commit tees of both Houses The existing Metropolitan Railway from Paddington to Farringdon-street has been o en two years, and although it is still incomplete and the traffic imperfectly developed, pays seven per cent. dividend, and its shares are at a premium of £3O per £lOO. The New Metropolitan Railway, for which the present subscription is invited, starts from a junction with the exist ing Metropolitan and West Loudon Lines at Kensington, and proceeds through the heart of Brompton and Pimlico by the Viet )ria Statun and the Houses of Pdrliament, along the new Thames Embankment, parallel to the Strand and Fleet-street, to a station in Cannon-street, near the Bank of England.

This Day, Never before Published, Price 25., THE SOILED DOVE, A Biography of a Fast Lady, known as " The Kitten.' London: George Vickers, Angel-court, Strand. Thus in twenty-four hours after the fall of Fort Fisher and its outworks, all the formidable chain of forts in this river, at its entrance, built to keep out anything we had have fallen into our hands. They are garrisoned for the present with sailors. I can scarcely give a description of these works. They are certainly the most formidable and the best built earthworks I ever saw, and do credit to the engineer who planned them. One would suppose that the whole Southern Confederacy had been at work throwing up mud and sand ; and General Whiting, the engineer, cer tainly had an abiding faith in the durability of the Con federacy, as he shows his opinion by his works, which have been four years building, and were taken in as many days. Fort Caswell is of the same shape as before it fell into the rebel hands, except that the rebels have covered its walls with earth on the outside and made them almost im pervious to shot and shell. It is in many respects stronger than Fisher, and harder to take by assault. Still it could be taken, and the rebels know it. Three or four gunboats inside would soon have started them out.

If the present Metropolitan Line, running along the New road, with trains every five and ten minutes, carries traffic enough to pay 7 per cent., it is evident that a much larger traffic must be carried w th three times the number of trains, which may be easily run, and will be required on the line now proposed parallel to the Strand and Fleet-street, when the circular system is completed. The only question is whether, with a larger traffic, the cost of construction will notbe also largely enhanced. Upon this point, however, the Directors aro able to give the most satis factory assurances. A guarantee contract with the firms of Peto and Betts, Kelk, and Waring Brothers, secures the construction of the works for a fixed sum, which includ s interest at 5 per cent. per annum on all capital paid up during construction, and on shares paid up in advance• at 6 per neut. _ _ I have had a great deal of difficulty in getting the gun boats over the bar and the rips, and only succeeded this morning in getting the last one through.

Among the gentlemen named to succeed Seddon is Governor Letcher, of Virgi nia. It was reported yesterday that Hon. J. P. Benjamin, Secretary of State, had sent in his resignation.

This Company has been established for the purpose of facilitating the Registration of Titles to Landed Estates, under the provisions of the " Land Registration Act ;" and also for the purchase of Freehold Land, the titles to which have been already registered, or are capable of being brought within the operation of the Act. Lariie profits have within the last few years been derived from the judicious purchase of Landed Estates and blocks of Freehold property in the vicinity of fhe Metropolis, and their re-sale in lots for building and other purposes. The success of these undertakings is, in a great measure, attributable to the extraordinary rise in the value of land in the suburbs of large towns, and the constantly increasing demand for sites of villa residences—a demand which must keep pace with the growth of the national prosperity and population. The chief obstacle hitherto to these most legitimate enter prises has been found in the difficulties, delays, and expense attendant upon the transfer of land, and a;l subsequent deal ings with it ; while cumbrous titles, and the continual neces sity of their re-examination, all tend to depreciate the value of landed property, To remedy this evil the "Land Registration Act" was passed, whereby the transfer of Real Estate is simplified, and a mass of parchment deeds is condensed into a clear, simple, and parliamentary title ; but, notwithstanding the manifest advantages conferred by this measure, the public have hitherto availed themselves of it only to a limited ex teat, partly from ignorance of the mode of procedure to be adopted, partly from difficulties beyond the control of indivi duals, arising from the nature of the encumbrances and ex tent of the charges already existing on the property. The especial object of this Company is to assist owners of property who, from want of funds or other cans. 5, have hitherto been unable to avail themselves of the advantages offered by the Act. The Company will undertake the exa mination and registration of titles to Landed Estates; it will rrovide the funds for the necessary preliminary expenditure ; discharge the various incumbrances, where the value of the estate bears a just proportion to the amount charged upon it; and will also facilitate the arrangements of persons de sirous of lending or borrowing on landed security. Whilst, from the nature of these operations and the securities held by the Company, it will be prot« ctcd against all risk of loss, considerable profit must be derived, and owners of land will find their advantage in the increased value of their property. The Company will purchase Registered and other Landed Estates, and re-sell them in lots or otherwise, where the ad vantages of a simple and Parliamentary title enable them to 'iced the distribution and re-sale without delay and without expen SC. The Directors have received trom various quarters offers of immediate and profitable business, and the negotiations al ready entered into with influential parties will insure for the Company a lucrative and widely-extended business. . Prospectuses and Forms of Applications for Shares may be obtained of the Bankers. Brokers, Solicitors, and at the Offices of the Company, where the Articles of the Association may be seen. In the event of no allotment being made, the deposits will be returned in full. Should a less number of shares be al lotted than is applied for, the deposit will be retained towards the payment on allotment, and the balance of any) returned to the applicant. 2 If so, whether it is worth his ;while to invest at 6 per cent, for 24 years (the probable period of construction), in order to have, at the end of that time, shares in an under ing at least as good as the existing Metropolitan Railway, whose stock is now , worth £3O, and probably by that time will be worth £5O, £6O, or even .£lOO premium. • It is int, nded to proceed vigorously with the immediate construction of the portion of the line between Westminster S ation and Cannon-street, so that it may be opened to the public contemporaneously with the Thames Emban .went. It must further be remembered that this line will practi cally enjoy the advantage, which is possessed by few others, of being protected against any competition. Ao line could livert traffic from it which did not run closely parallel ; and such a ins is rendered out of the question, alike by the in terference with property which it would involve, and by the expressed views of Parliament. Undisturbed by competition, the traffic of a leading metro politan line= t always be a rapidly growing quantity, as is sufficiently proved by the fact that the traffic of the existing Metropolitan Railway has increased in the last six months by £5O) per week, or 27 per cent., and is still steadily in creasing. To meet the convent nce of subscribers who have expressed a desire to pay up in full, it has been decided to allow any one who wishes it, until further notice, to do so, receiving inte rest at the rate of six per cent. per annum, half-yearly, until the line is opened for traffic. On registration of the scrip, of which due notice will be given, the o,rtificates of £lOO will be divided into five shares 01 £2O each, Prospectuses and forms of application may be obtained of Messrs. Cazenove and Co., and Messrs. George Seymour and Co., the brokers of the Company; or at the Temporary Offices of the Company, 41, Threadneedle-street. Tne de posit of £3 per cent. on the amount appaed for must be paid to the Company's bankers, on applicatlon, which will be re turned if no allotment be made.

This Institution is designed to sup ,ly a great national want, viz., an asylum for the orpha" daughters of sailors in the Royal Navy and Merchants service and of Marines. It clothes, maintains, and educates them for domestic service, and provides a home free of expense for former inmates while out of situations, thus shielding them from the temptations they might otherwise be exposed to. The Committee earnestly APPEAL for CONTRIBU TIONS to meet the increasi g applications through the recent storms and loss f life at sea, and to enable them even i ually to obtain premises more commensurate w th the necessities of this great maritime country, which loses 2,000 sailors annually by casualties alone, without including those who may perish by war.

TILE MURDER IN DRURY - LANE.—Last evening Mr. Bedford, coroner for Westminster, held a pro tracted investigation at King's College Hospital into the circumstances of the death of Robert Lord, a knife machine maker, 24 years of age, who was alleged to have been pitched out of a window in a brothel in Barley-court, Drury-lane. The evidence was in the main similar to that taken at Bow-street Police-court. The jury returned a verdict—" That the deceased was thrown out of a second floor window of the house No. 3, Barley-court, by Ann Smith, and that he thus came by his death." The Coroner asked the jury whether they considered the case one of murder. The jury said that was their opinion. The pri soner was committed to Newgate for trial. We have plenty of forces to hold this place against the whole Southern Confederacy. I have 250 guns bearing on the narrow strip of land where our troops are heavily en trenched. There are vessels in the river and outside, and we only hope they will attempt to retake it. Ten thousand men in Fort Fisher, with the guns of the squadron, would hold this place a long time. We' find this better place - to - catch blockade ruriVis than . outside. I had the blockade runners' light lit last night, and was obliging enough to answer their signals, whether right or wrong we don't know. Two of them, the Stag and Charlotte, from Bermuda, leaded with arms, blankets, shots, &c., came in and quietly anchored near the Malvern, and were taken possession of. The Stag was commanded by Richard IL Gayle, a lieutenant in the rebel navy, and be longs to the rebel Government. A number more are ex pected, and we will, I hope, catch a portion of them. I entrusted this duty to Lieut. Cushing, who performed it with his usual good luck and intelligence. Those two are very fast vessels and valuable prizes. They throw a portion of their papers overboard immediately on finding they were trapped. I enclose a list of guns captured by the navy since the surrender of Fort Fisher, and the names of the different works. This number, added to those taken from Fort Fisher, makes 160 guns in all, most of them heavy ones, that have been taken. I enclose a few papers that may be interesting. The Charlotte brings five English passengers, one of them an English army officer. They all came over, as they expressed it, "on a lark," and were making themselves quite " jolly" in the cabin over their champagne, felicitating themselves over their safe arrival. The Stag received three shots as she ran by our blockaders outside.—Very respectfully, (Signed) DAVID D. PORTER, Rear-Admiral. Hon. Gideon Welles, Secretary of the Navy, Washington, D.C.

THE ENGAGEMENT. ON THE JAMES RIVER. An official despatch from the headquarters of the Army of the James, dated Jan. 24, says : Last night the enemy made an unsuccessful attempt to run past our batteries. They took advantage of the storm and darkness to send down a fleet of eight vessels of war and three torped o b oa t s. Thi s fl ot i lla consisted of the Vir ginia, Fredericksburg, and Richmond, ironclads, mounting four guns each ; the wooden vessels Drewry, Nansemond, and Hampton, of two guns each ; the Bedford, one gun ; the steamer Torpedo, and three torpedo-boats. The follow ing are the particulars, as far as they could be obtained from a deserter from the expedition who came into our lines after daylight this morning. The fleet left their moorings about 6 o'clock last evening, and proceeding quietly until it got near our batteries they were discovered, and immediately the batteries opened on them, to which they replied. At about 12 o'clock theysucceeded in cutting the chain in front of our obstructions beyond the lower end of Dutch Gap Canal, when the Fredericksburg, under full head of steam, passed through the obstructions, completely demolishing one of the sunken canal boats. The Richmond, Virginia, and Drewry, in attempting to follow, grounded, when the Fredericksburg had to go to their assistance. The Drewry could not be got off, and was obliged to be abandoned, as it was now daylight, and they were in range of Battery Parsons. As soon as it became light the battery opened on the Drewry, one of the shells fall ing in her magazines, which exploded, completely demo lishing her, and the remainder of the fleet again made their way back up the river. It was supposed that an at tempt would be made to go through again to-night, though what their destination may be canmerely be:surmised. The only damage done was the dismounting of one gun on Fort Brady. The deserters report only one man killed and two wounded by the explosion of the Drewry. Four deserters swain ashore and came into our lines. The correspondent of the Baltimore American, at Annapolis, says:—"The exit of the rebel gunboats from under the guns of their batteries on the James River came near proving a very serious affair to us. Had the rebel ram Richmond not grounded, the whole of our fleet of transports, and works of Gen. Grant at City Point, would have been destroyed, for the naval officer in charge of our forces turned tail and ran, for which disgraceful conduct, it is re ported, he has been dismissed the service." GENERAL SHERMAN. In regard to Gen. Sherman's movements, the Charleston correspondent of the Richmond Despatch writes, on Jan. 10, that Gen. Sherman had com menced his movement on Branchville and Augusta, and that he had sent one corps up the west bank of the Savannah River, a second to Wil m i n gton, and two to Beaufort. " If Sherman is onc e established on the railroad, either at Branchville or some other point neax Augusta," the writer says, 44 the fall of lie says Gen. Weirtzel was selected. Gen. I3utler's k - trarriewariltFer cOirieaeil with the e cttion, except to fit it out. When the expedition did p.;-epare to start it was going to attack on the supposition that the powder vessel originally prepared by Gen. Butler would bloW the forts down, and the troops would have nothing to do but to walk in. Ire soon saw that Butler relied entirely upon the powder-ship, and upon no assault, from the beginning. It is not true, as Butler says, that he gave the navy 3G hours' start. It was Butler's duty to have rendezvoused at Beaufort, and wait until the monitor and powder-boat, on which so much depended, was ready. Movements of light transports should have been subordinate to large and slow moving frigates and iron -clad; and he should have been where he could have arranged with me (says Porter) all de tails of attack ; but no, he kept out of the way, and I think studiously. Butler states that Admiral Porter was quite sanguine that he had silenced the guns of Fort Fisher, and that he was urged, if that were so, to run by the batteries into Cape Fear River, and then troops could land and hold the breach without difficulty, or without fear of being shelled by the enemy's gunboat Tallahassee, seen in the river. Porter says this is a deliberate mis-statement, adding that " General Butler does not say who urged me, but I never saw him or his staff after landing on the beach." CANADA. The following is a report of the proceedings which took place in the Canadian Parliament on the 24th of January : Mr. J. A. MACDONALD asked leave to introduce a bill for the prevention and suppression of outrages on the frontier of this province, and for other purposes. Mr. HOLTON asked the Attorney-General to state gene rally the purport of the bill. Mr. J. A. MACDONALD said the first part of the bill was to provide a check on those parties who had found an asylum in this country, and some of whom had abused the hospi tality and asylum afforded them, by using Canada as a base of hostile operations against the United States. For that purpose some of the provisions of the Alien Bill, the Imperial Act of 1848, were proposed to be introdtited to confer on the Government power to give notice to certain persons who had proved themselves unworthy of the hospitality of this country by abusing it for im proper purposes, to remove from beyond it. There were also clauses giving additional powers as to the seizure and examination of vessels supposed to be fitted out for hostile purposes, and some of the clauses also of the act of the United States Congress of 1838 would be included in the bill. It would be remembered that the United States then stood in precisely the same circumstances with regard to Canada as we now stood with reference to the United States. They found at that time the law of the United States was insufficient for checking inroads into Canada, and that vessels were being fitted out to convey hostile troops into Canada. Congress accordingly passed an ex ceptional act to meet those circumstances, to exist for a period of two years. The circumstances were now precisely the same, and he believed his honourable friends opposite would agree that the present law was insufficient, and that new provisions should be enacted. Some of the clauses adopted by Congress in 1838 for our protection were now incorporated in this bill for the protection of the United States. There were also clauses providing that should there be reasonable ground to suspect parties of being engaged in the manufacture of arms, ammunition, or anything of that kind to be used for hostile purposes, these parties should be called to show what they were manufacturing these arms and ammunition for, and to prove that there were good reasons for these clauses, the Government knew that arms had actually been in process of construction in this province with the view of being used_for hostile purpose. _ _ _ Mr. SANDFLELD MACDONALD was sure no member in this house would throw any obstacle in the way of the Govern ment passing any law to enforce the neutrality enjoyed by her Majesty. At the same time, the proposed bill gave to the Government powers hitherto unknown in this country, and he thought it should not be urged forward with such haste as to give ground for the impression that we were legislating from any force or compulsion from the other side. We should approach these matters with that calm deliberation which was worthy of a body like this house ; and as only one, instead of two days'noticel as required by the rules, had been given, he thought the bill should stand till to-morrow. Mr. JOHN A. MAcDoxALD said his excellency and hi s ministers had thought this matter of sufficient importance to be included in the speech from the throne, and the house, in their address , had replied that they would give it their immediate attention. He hoped the objection Wou ld be waived. Mr. A. A. D°lll ow while he agreed with M r. Sandfield - o d that, with reference to this matte r , th e house should-l Lilt in a dignified manner, and no t under any ap- P emnco of compulsion, agreed, nev er th e l ess, that the ministrya were responsible for the action to be taken, pro bably having information which other members had not. They ought to be the best judges as to when they ought to bring in such a measure as this. As to the objects of the bill, he was glad to find that the Habeas Corpus Act was not to be infringed upon, as had been reported. He thought we should do everything in our power to prevent persons in this country conspiring against the peace of a A detaelTiarit, nnifilierihfc:4oThoti- tOrrinfiofsliea officers and men of the Royal Engineers, under the command of S.

Blakeley's 16-ton 600 pounder guns, made for the Russian Government, was yesterday proved at the Woolwich butt, to test its efficiency for being issued to order. The gun was fired a couple of rounds, loaded each time with a charge of 601 b. of powder (being double the service charge) and a shot weighing 6001 b. The Blakeley patented copper cup to take the rifling and prevent the escape of gas was also used, and was found to acce lerate the process of loading, and free the gun in a great measure from the fouling experienced in the use of the lead-coated projectiles. After the proof preparations were commenced by the Royal Engi neer department's Board of Works to lay down the materials necessary for the erection of the slides, platform, and carriage, which have been made of wrought iron, and with which an official trial, with the gun mounted, will be carried out in dairfeewetedd theays Mparjooo, which will doubtless tend to Inspector of Ordnan nd ce, to establish the employment of hammered cast steel for guns of larger calibre, in a similar manner, in our own service. Mr. Campbell attended the proof on behalf of the Blakeley Ordnance Company; and Col. Bolognese, the Peruvian Consul-General, to gether with other foreign representatives in London, was likewise present. The death of Gen. Sir Edward Nicolls, 1i.C.8 , on the retired full-pay list of the Royal Marine Light Infantry, at the age of 85 years, has been an nounced at head quarters, Chatham. The deceased General was one of the oldest officers in the service, his first commission bearing date in 1795. When serving as a lieutenant of Marines on board the Blanche frigate, he succeeded in capturing the French cutter Albion from under the guns of Monte Christi, San Domingo. He received a severe wound during the engagement. He also took a distinguished part in numerous other engagements until 1808, when he commanded the Royal Marines during the siege of Curacoa.

One of them placed his hands over the gentleman's mouth, while the others covered his eyes, and took from his pockets a silver watch, gold guard chain, and four £1 notes. After accomplishing their object the robbers made their escape across the Links. In the course of the night six men, well known to the police, were ap prehended in Edinburgh on suspicion of being concerned in the robbery. They were brought before the police court on Saturday morning and remanded till Monday morning. The gentleman, though stunned for a time, was able to walk home.—Scotsman.
