TUE LIVERPOOL AND LONDON AND GLOBE INSURANCE COMPANY. Established 1836. (Empowered Specially by Parliament.) INVESTED FUNDS EXCEED £3,e00,000 STERLING. By an Act of the last Session of Parliament, the Globe Insurance Company of London was amalgamated. as from the 20th September, 1862, with the Liverpool and London Corn- Pany, and by a clause in the Act the name of the latter Com pany was subsequently changed to THE LIVERPOOL. A ND LONDON AND GLOB E INSURANCE COMPANY. The CAPITAL of th e C ompany i s T wo Milli ons , o f w hi c h £ 300 ,000 is paid up and invested ; and in addition there are Reserve Funds, which, independently of the Life Reserve, amount to £1,200,000. FIRE I NSURANCE.—The Premiums in 1863 exceeded £ 3 80,000, and were ereater than those of any other Company by upwards of £200,000. The position in the Duty Return will be understood from the following statement : The Sun, established in 1710, collected duty in 1863, £215,000 The Phceuix 1782, 138,001 The Liverpool qind 1 97 L ondon and Globe j 1836, 1/ 11 133,003 Whilst no other Company collected as much a 5...... 90,090 L IFE INSURANCE.--The Premiums received in 18g3 Were £209,500, and the Annuities paid anrunted to £33,500. The Fund accumulated to meet these Liabilities is Z 1,450,000. The Liab lity of Proprietors is unlimited. SWINTON BOULT, Secretary to the Company. JOHN ATKINS, Resident Secretary. September, 1864. T HE ROYAL INSURANCE COMPANY, 29, Lombard-street, London; and Royal Insurance-buildings, Liverpool. At the Annual Meeting, on'the sth inst., the following were some of the leading results disclosed in the Report to the shareholders. FIRE BRANCH. The Premiums of the year 1863 reached the sum of £341,668 Being an advance of 40,977 over 1862; an amount of increase exceeding ,that of any pre- Thellevenue front ,fficaniums hai been en hanced in four years by the large sum of £113,353 The Duty paid to Government in 1862 was £75,993 Ditto ditto, 18G3 88,966 Showing an Increase in one year of Among the incidents which have tended to the advance inept of the Royal within the last few months may be reckoned its action with respect to the losses sustained by the explo sion of the Lotty Sleigh, which although only eon •intent with the general tenor of the conduct of the Company, and ulti mately proved to be no more than what had been done in 1 or fuer times by the oldest and most proverbially honourable among its contemporaries, yet attracted attention and public favour by its unhesitating promptness. As the largest total of Revenue and the largest ratio of progression have been attained in the present year, so it happens that the largest Profit which it has ever fallen to the Directors to record has likewise on this occasion to be an nounced. The balance of net profit on theyear has amounted to £83,515 • of which sum £34,100 only has been appropriated to Dividend and Bonus, and the large balan.e of £49,444 been carried to Reserve. LIFE BRANCH. The progress of the Life Branch, as shown by the New Business transacts in the last year, is most promising, and the advances made, year by year, in the amount of New In surances effected, show clearly the estimation in which the Company is held. The following is a statement for the last five years : Net Sum Assured on New Policies after deductibg Guarantees. Net Premiums. 1859 1860 1861 ........ 521,101 17 0 ... 16,61 18 0 1862 ........ 701,4 715 3 1863 This rapid growth, amounting to 73 per cent. on the Sum Assured, and upwards of 80 per cent. on the Premium re ceived in the course of five years, may justly be considered as larger than any which could have been reasonably expected. The first half of the current year 1864, however, far outsti fps the ratio of increase indicated by the figures just quoted, as the sum assured for that period of six months only actually exceeds Half-a-Mil ion sterling. The rate of Mortality, likewise, still presents highly favour able features, and augurs well for the result to be shown by toe quinquennial investigation, which is to take place when the present year is concluded.

The Cunard Royal Mail steamer China from New York on the 7th inst. has arrived. The following are the latest official despatches published : " War Department, Washington, Sept. 3, 8 p.m. "No intelligence from Atlanta later than my telegram of last night has btenreceived. The tele graphic lines between Nashville and Chattanooga were broken last night by Wheeler, and we have had nothing south of Nashville to-day. This ac counts for the absence of later information from Atlanta. No doubt is entertained of the correct ness of the reports received last night, which came from two -independent sources, besides the official despatch from General Slocum. Unofficial reports this evening from Nashville state that the damage done by Wheeler to the railroad will be speedily repaired, and that Wheeler had retreated, General Rossean being in pursuit; that in an engagement between Rosseau and Wheeler's forces the rebel General Kelly was mortally wounded and is in our hands. " EDWIN M. STANTON, Secretary of War. “To Major. General Dix." . ... . " Sept. 4. " The following telegram from General Grant hss just been received : " ' City Point, Sept. 3. " I have received a Richmond paper to-day. It contains a rumour of a battle at Atlanta, but says the War Department, having no official information, declines to form an opinion from the rumours. I have no doubt, however, that Sherman has gained a great success there. Before the despatch of last night was received, announcing the occupation of Atlanta by our troops, the fact was known to our pickets. The rebels helloed over to our men that Sherman had whipped Hood, that the latter had lost 40,000 men, and that our troops were in Atlanta. All quiet here. " U. S. GRANT, Liont.-General. " ' Hon. E.

President Lincoln has issued the following orders and recommendati ons i n re f er ence to the recent Federal succes ses at M o bi le an d Atlanta : " Executive M ans i on, Washington City, Sept. 3. "The signal s uccess t h at Divine P rov id e nce has recently vouchsafed to the op era ti ons o f t h e U n ited States fleet and army in the harbour of Mobile, and the reduction of Fort Powell, Fort Gaines, and Fort Morgan, and the glorious achievements of the army under Major-General Sherman in the State of Georgia, resulting in the capture of the city of Atlanta, call for devout acknowledgment to the Supreme Being, in whose hands are the destinies of nations. It is therefore requested that on next Sunday, in all places of worship in the United States, thanksgiving be offered to Him for His mercy in preserving our national existence against the insurgent rebels who have been waging a cruel war against the Government of the United States for its overthrow, and ails° that prayers be made for Divine pro tection to our brave soldiers and their leaders in the field, who have so often and so gallantly perilled their lives in battling with the enemy, and for the blessing and comfort from the Father of Mercies to the sick, wounded, and prisoners, and to the orphans and widows of those who have fallen in the service of their country, and that He will continue to uphold the Government of the United States against all the efforts of public enemies and secret foes. " ABRAHAM LINCOLN." " Executive Mansion, September 3. " The national thanks ate tendered by the President to Admiral Farragut and Major-General Canby for the skill and harmony with which the recent operations in Mobile harbour, and against Fort Powell, Fort Gaines, and Fort Morgan were planned and can't(' into execution; also to Admiral Farragut and Major-General Granger, under whose immediate command they were conducted, and to the gallant commanders on sea and land, and to the sailors and soldiers engaged in the operations for their energy and cou rage, which, under the blessing of Providence, have been crowned with brilliant success, and have won for them the applause and thanks of the nation. ABRAHAM LINCOLN. ... ---- - Executive Mansion, Sept. 3. The nation's thanks are tendered by the President to Major-General William T. Sherman and the gallant officers and soldiers of his command before Atlanta for the distin guished ability, courage, and perseverance displayed in the campaign in Georgia, which, under Divine Power, resulted in the capture of the city of Atlanta. The marches, battles, sieges, and other military operations which have signalised this campaign must render it famous in the annals of war, and have entitled those who have participated therein to the applause and thanks of the nation.

Sherman, in the State of Georgia, and the capture of A • tlanta The Secretary of War will issue directions for the execution of this order. ABRAHAM LINCOLN. A Washington press despatch of the sth says— Deserters from the rebel army report thut Atlanta is in our possession, with a large number of prisoners ; that Rich mond papers contain accounts of a battle there on the 31st of August, and that our troops were at first repulsed, but finally drove the enemy back with heavy loss, including three generals—viz., Anderson, Patten, and Hardee. The Philadelphia Age of the sth has the following review of General Serman's late movement ; ho cannot prevent the trains which have hitherto run from Montgomery to Atlanta communicating through the 11.Ius cope Railroad with the Macon Railroad, and thus with Atlanta. Tho way is roundabout, but it is perfectly prac ticable. It has been about 10 days since General Sherman began a movement, much of which is still involved in mystery. One corps of his army, under General Slocum, was left in the trenches in front of Atlanta. The remainder was gra dually withdrawn, forming a long column on the south bank of the Chattahoochee, and slowly marching down the river. Parallel to the river, and about eight miles south of it, is the Montgomery Railroad. East Point is eight miles south-west of Atlanta, Red Oak is twenty miles, and Fairburn twenty-five miles south-west: At East Point the Macon Railroad begins. It runs south to Jones borough, and then south-east. Jonesborough is 20 miles from Atlanta. But very little intelligence of Sherman's movement was transmitted north, for during almost all the time since it began Wheeler had the railroad and telegraph to Nashville cut. and there was no commutication. Sher man marched his column down the river until the rear reached Sandtown ten miles west of Atlanta. He then swung the head of it around toward the east until it struck the Montgomery Railroad at Fairburn. From Fairburn a raiding party was sent across the country to Jonesborough, on the Macon Railroad. The road was cut, but no large force of the enemy found. On Aug. 28 Gen. Hood tele graphed to Richmond that Sherman's line extended from Sandtown to Fairburn, thus being south-west of the city, and Hood at once began moving his army to meet the Fede . ral advance. Sherman's southern flank marched unopposed up the Montgomery Railroad, from Fairburn towards At., lanta, until it reached Red Oak, 20 miles from the city. Here the Confederates met the troops and they halted. Sherman's southern flank was then marched south-east from Sandtown towards East Point, 8 miles from Atlanta. On Tuesday last, Aug. 30, Sherman's line extended from Red Oak north-east, along the railroad towards East Point, and his northern flank was pressing towards East Point from the direction of Sand town. Hood, finding the enemy south west of him at once abandoned Atlanta, and gave Sherman battle. A contest began on Tuesday afternoon along the Montgomery Railroad, from Red Oak to East Point, a dis • tance of 12 miles. Slocum, who had been left with one corps in front of Atlanta, began to feel the enemy in front of him. He found the city abandoned and on Friday morning en tered it. He at once announced the evacuation of the town, and by a strange coincidence Wheeler was off the railroad to Nashville just long enough to allow the despatch being sent. Scarcely had it gone when Wheeler again cut the tele graph, and a veil once more hid Sherman's operations. Slo cum, having the enemy between him and Sherman's main body, could not tell what was going on at East Point. He knew a battle was being fought, for he heard the cannon, but that was all. Up to Sunday morning this was all the intelligence sent us. This morning, however, we have later intelligence. Last evening the telegraph was reopened, and a despatch from Sherman himself received. The enemy on Tu es d ay had not f ou ght him very desperately, but gradually retreated across th e country towards J onesborou g h. Sherman followed them He brought his e ntire army south of the Montgomery Rail road, and by Thursday had arrived within a mile of Jones enetermynorthern at Rough and intrenched. They sent which was Soon out a reconnaissance , repulsed, and Sher man made Ms arrangementsfor an attack. The Confede rates by this time had retreated from Atlanta, and were flank borough. wa 5 Macon Railroad. drawn up in line on the Their southern th h i s worksin evacuating Atlanta, and Ready, a village 13 miles from Atlanta . In front of their There at o b found oroug t h h:t position Flint River flowed, and . the hills on its eastern side were intrenched. It was this Position which Sherman at tacked on Thursday afternoon,. He carried the Confederate works at Jonesborougb, capturmy 10 cannon and 1,000 pri destroyed some trains loaded with a mmunition. The spoils secured by Slocum were 14 cannon and the ruins of the Boners. Hood blew up de stroyed trains. When the works at and were car ried Hood abandoned his line on Flint River and by a hasty march to the south-west moved th e portion of his army which had been north of Tones bo rough to th e eas t of th e place. He then retreated with all his forces to Lovejoy's, six miles south-west of Jonesborough, on the railroad. Here he took a new position. Sherman 'writes to Stanton, "his army needs rest, and does not seem to intend an attack upon the new Confederate position. The Louisville Journal in its correspondence re views the topography of the neighbourhood of At lanta thus : The New York Tizzies contains letters from its correspondent near Atlanta to Aug. 25, asserting that at that date, owing to Gen. Shermar,'s determi nttion to avoid extravagant expenditure of life, his army was as strong as when it crossed the Cetta hooche, having made up in reinforcements-4,000 to 5,000 in all—what it lost before Atlanta, while the Confederate army, he declares, was reduced by many thousands, He describes some of the opera. tions up to the date of his letter as follows : Oar leader, hitherto so prompt in deciding upon flank operations, has deliberated leng, and exhausted every other means before making the decision necessary to this move ment. By extending his lines to the right and cutting the Montgomery road he attenuated his front to the utmost length in the endeavour to compass the city and sever its lines of communication. The Decatur and Augusta road was carefully watched by the cavalry, lest the enemy should reopen it. General Sherman advanced his line so closely around the invested city that at any time he could pour into it the contents of 100 guns. In fact, for the past month our cannon have allowed but very few hours to pass without saluting the besieged city. The enemy however has made no endeavour to evacuate, and to all appearance entertains no intention to leave. While pushing the enemy in front, Gen. Sherman has, by his cavalry, greatly annoyed his rear. M'Cook and Stoneman were sent out toward Macon, with what result is well known. The former was defeated, and the latter captured, without any permanent injury to the railroad having been effected, although many substantial results were obtained in the way of captures of animals and the destruction of munition s o f war. The last attempt of gallant General Kilpat r i c k, by the e just retu rne d f rom the most t w h h i s o t character wth 4 ,o w oo a s c a m v a a d l r e y successful penetration into the enemy's lines yet effected. Gen. Kilpatrick readied Jonesborough, on the Atlanta and Macon road, on Friday night, and destroyed its shops and Government depots. His command destroyed the rails and some trestle-work along the line of the railroad for several miles. The lighting up of the donde, illumined by the fires far to the southward, caused by the burning of the rebel storehouses, was plainly diocernible from our camps north of Atlanta. As was expected, the enemy moved a number of regiments of infantry by rail to attack General Kilpatrick. By a desperate charge he broke the line enveloping him, and sabred his way out, losing, perhaps, 500 men in killed, wounded, and missing. His officers relate that 1,000 rebel infantry surrendered in abject fear of his charging squa drons, but no time could be spared to attend to prisoners. The success of the charge may be determined from the fact that the ambulances and trains of the expedition were run uninterruptedly through the ranks of the frightened foe. This expedition was as successful as it is possible to make expeditions of this character. It has satisfied Gen. Sher man that no permanent interruption or embarrassment of the rebel rear can be thus accomplished. The nature of the ground is such that only trifling damage can be done to the railroad. He has, therefore, with great forethought and consideration of all the pros and cons, determined upon the movement now being made. With regard to Hood's communications the cor respondent says : " Notwithstanding what you may read in some of the papers in regard to Hood's communication being entirely cut off, I have only insisted in telling you the truth in re porting to you occasionally that auch is not and has not been the case. Up to the last raid of Kilpatrick their trains arrived and departed daily upon the Macon road. M'Cook did remove a few rails from this road, but they were re placed almost as speedily as they were destroyed. The West Point road, which leaves East Point (six miles due south from Atlanta) has been badly cut many times. M'Cook cut it in three places. Rosseau destroyed several miles of it, and Kilpatrick has made two raids upon it in the last few days; this does no great harm however,as it is merely a spe cial line, just the same as our railroad between Chattanooga and Knoxville. Wheeler has cut this road badly in several places, but the garrison of Knoxville can be supplied by river as well as when there were three large corps there, and if 'worst comes to worst,' our forces at Knoxville can be abundantly supplied through Kentucky; Burnside and Scofield both were, if you recollect, at one time. We must not flatter ourselves that every time we dash upon a rebel railroad, even if miles of track are removed, that the rebel army has' gone up;' no indeed they stand these things as well as we do; and to tell the truth, they manage to repair all such damages as speedily nearly as we do ourselves. But to return to the subject proper, Hood, up to the return of Kilpatrick from his last raid, has experienced no trouble in supplying his army with a sufficiency of food and powder. Kilpatrick however, as I last informed you, did cut the road in three places, and in all removed some five miles of rails and then made a narrow but brilliant escape from half-a dozen large brigades of rebel cavalry, which had made his capture a sure thing. In addition to this subject, I will state that a week or 10 days ago, the rebel papers reported that the bridges and culverts destroyed by Garrard on the Augusta:road were almost in readiness to permit trains to pass over them, By this time, no doubt, that road is in running order." The Columbus Tines, a Georgian paper, gives the following picture of one of the scenes in Atlanta during the siege : " On Wednesday night a large 42 pound shell entered the Presbyterian Church on Marietta-street, and, after pass ing through the pulpit, exploded in the basement, or Sun day-schoolroom. Several families living in the vicinity having taken refuge there were more or less stunned and injured by the explosion, and one man had his right arm taken off, The scene in the room was frightful—it was after midnight, and all the inmates were sleeping peacefully, perfectly confident of security. Mothers caught up their children hurriedly and rushed frantically into the streets, screaming, though without any definite purpose in view, save that of escaping for the time from the scene which had struck such terror into their souls, and there, out upon the open street, they stood crouching, with their little families clinging around them,and knowing not where to fly for safety Shell after shell in rapid succession came screaming through the air, and as the light of each terrific explosion, like lightning flashes, quivered over them, the figure of one pale-faced mother could be discerned, with bare out stretched arms, vainly hoping to shield her little ones from the falling fragments. Oh, the heartless cruelty of the foe I Oh, the mighty depths of a mother's lave. Assistance came at last, however, and the panic-stricken women and children were huddl e d o ff i nto bomb-proofs o f k in d neigh bours in more secure localities, and the wounded properly cared for." "Sept. 4. " General Sherman's official report of the capture of Atlanta has just been received by this depart ment. It is dated 26 miles south of Atlanta, 6 o'clock yesterday morning, but was detained by the blinking of the telegraph lines mentioned in my despatch of last night. As already reported, the army withdrew from about Atlanta, and on the 30th had make a break of the East Point-road, and reached a good position from which to strike the Macon-road. The right (Howard) near Jonesbo rough, the left (Schofield) near Rough and Ready, and the centre (Thomas) at Conch's. Howard found the enemy in force at Jonesborough, and intrenched his troops, the salient within half a mile of the rail road. The enemy attacked him at 3 p.m., but was easily repulsed, leaving his dead and wounded. Finding strong opposition on the road, I advanced the left and centre rapidly to the railroad, made a good lodgment, and broke it all the way from the Rough and Ready down to Howard's left, near Jonesborough, and by the same movement I inter posed my whole army between Atlanta and the part of the enemy intrenched in and around Jonesbo rough. We made a general attack on the enemy at Jonesborough on the let of September, the 14th Corps, General Jeff C. Davis, carrying the works handsomely, with 10 guns and about 1,000 prison ers. In the night the enemy retreated south, and we have followed him to another of his hastily constructed lines near Lovejoy's station. Hood at Atlanta, finding me on his road, the only one that could supply him, and between him and a consider able part of his army, blew up his magazines in Atlanta, and left in the night time, when the 20th Corps, General Slocum, took possession of the place. So Atlanta is ours, and fairly won. Since the sth of May w e h ave b een i n one constant battle or skir mish, and nee d rest. Our losses will not exceed 1200, and w e h ave possession of over 300 rebel dead, 260 wounded, and over 1,500 well. " W. T. SHERMAN, Major. General. " MajoraGen. Dix, New York." _ . _ " A later despatch from General Slocum, dated at Atlanta last night (the 3d) at 9 p.m., states that the enemy destroyed seven locomotives and 81 cars loaded with ammunition, small arms and stores, and left 14 pieces of artillery, most of them uninjured, and a large number of small arms. Deserters are constantly coming into our lines. SPORTING I BOOKS, GUIDES. CIRCULARS , &c. CR.

The _Richmond Sentinel observes : "8 10 p.m. " A despatch from General Grant, just received, gives a statement from the Richmond Examiner of this morning, that John Morgan was surprised and killed, and his staff captured at Grenville, Tennes see, yesterday. An unofficial despatch received by this department this morning from Lexington, states that General Gillen had officially reported the surprise and defeat of Morgan at Greensville ; that John Morgan was killed and the staff captured; From East Point—about three miles beyond which the Yankees now are—to West Point is 81 miles. From West Point to Opeluka, where the Muscogee Railroad strikes the Montgomery and West Point Railroad, the latter being continuous with the Atlenta and West Point Railroad, the distance, we should judge, is about 15 miles. At any rate, it is hard upon 100 miles from the junction of the Muscegee to Fairburn or East Point.

The New York Tribune gives a biography of the guerilla General Morgan in these terms : "John 11. Morgan, the notorious rebel scout, and com mander of the rebel rangers, was born near Lexington, Kentucky. From his boyhood he was noted for his skill and recklessness in horsemanship , In September, 1861, he assumed the command of a band of guerillas in the vicinity of Pilot Knob, Missouri, where he shot down a number of Union pickets. Ile next appeared in the neighbourhood of Bacon Creek, Kentucky, at the head of his band, burnt the railroad bridge, almost within sight of the Union head quarters, and escaped before our forces recovered from their surprise. In the month of March, 1862, he boldly attacked our lines on the Franklin Pike, Ohio, and somewhat de layed the march of our troops. He afterwards disguised himself as a farmer and entered our lines, dining at the best hotels, and escaped without discovery, after obtaining the information ho needed. On onother occasion he nearly caught General Nelson in a trap he had laid for him. Be • tween Louisville and Nashville he stopped a railroad train and took several prisoners. During the winter of 1862-3 he commanded a cavalry division of Gen. Bragg's army,and greatly annoyed General Rosencranz' outposts and com munications. With him were several smart telegraph ope rators, who would attach wires to the telegraph lines, take off the messages coming from the headquarters of the army, and send back counterfeit ones. To these operations many of the Union defeats in Kentucky are attributed. In the summer of 1863 he headed an extensive raid through out Indiana and Ohio, in which he was, captured with a large number of his command. In Nov. 1863, he with six of his officers adroitly escaped from the Ohio Penitentiary, after a great deal of persevering labour in undermining the prison, Morgan was a tall, heavy man, who usually rode a black horse. He was e bold, daring, and merciless thief and murderer, and his followers were like hire. Thoy would ride into towns and cities, capture the chief officers in broad daylight, having been informed by the Copperheads of their whereabouts, and then ride off before the , citizens had recovered from their surprise. Morgan was by pro fession a negro trader, a gambler, and a libertine. Where ever ho was known he was regarded as a low-bred fellow whom no lady could recognise. In several street fights he had gained the reputation of an assassin rather than that of a hero. Yet this wretch was the fellow upon whom the Secesh women of Kentucky and Sec essia lavished their brightest smiles and most liberal favours." The following account is given of a cavalry fight at Berryville between por_tions of Sheridan's and Early's armies, in which the Federals claim a vic tory. It is dated from the Headquarters of the Middle Military Division, September 4 General Torbart's cavalry corps, which were encamped at Rippon's store, on the Charlestown and Berryville pike, lett camp at nine o'clock on Friday nig ht, and proceeded to Berryville, reaching there at midnigl it, where they went into camp until daybreak next mouth ig, when they moved out through Berryville on the Winch ester pike, taking the road to the left, about seven miles bf yond Berryville, and - -,_ - , PRICE ...... ...4d. were still advancing when last heard irons ut ten o'clock yes terday morning, meeting with little or nu oppwition. The infantry, consisting of Crook's command, the Gth and 19th Uorps, broke camp at 4 o'clock yesterday morning, and moved in three parallel columns towards Berryville ; Crook's com mand was on the left, the 19th Corps in the centre, and the Gth:on the right. Crook's command reached Berryville first, about 12 o'clock in the morning, and rested in line of battle with arms stacked for two hours, while pickets wore being posted on the different roads leading from Berryville. The 23d Ohio was stilt out on Snicker's Ferry road and the 36th Ohio on the Winchester pike, running to the right from Berryville. Crook's command went into camp, and had just finished pitching tents at 4 o'clock when heavy skirmishing was heard on the picket line. The whole command rapidly turned out, and was formed and moved to the support of the pickets, who had been driven from behind some en trenchments which they had occupied. The 36th Ohio and 9th Virginia were formed and charged the enemy, driving them out of the entrenchments. A desperate struggle then ensued, the rebels being determined, if possible, to regain possession of the entrenchments. With this object in view they massed no less than two divisions, and hurled them with their accustomed ferocity against our gallant little band,which was supported by bothDuvall's and Thorburn's divisions. They were handsomely repulsed every time they charged. The conflict lasted long after the sun had set, and artillery firing was kept up till 9 o'clock. The whole army has been busily engaged all night in digging en trenchments and throwing up breastworks, and now occupy a strong position. The whole of the fighting, so far, has been done by Crook's command, which captured 50 pri soners and a stand of colours. Our loss will amount to about 300 killed and wounded, while that of the enemy is at least one-third greater. Heavy firing was heard yester day in the vicinity of Bunker's-hill, supposed to be Averill advancing." D ' . -: 90th Thousand, price is., DR. HARVEY ON CORPULENCE.

She also requires repairs to one of her hawse pipes, which was da maged during some recent firing in the Channel from her bow turret's guns, Capt. Osborn, in his very laudable desire to test tho turrets and guns to the utmost, drawing rather too fine a line of depres sion in ono part of the practice. The damage is but trivial, and has no bearing whatever upon the turret principle. The following appointments have been made at the Admiralty :—R. L. Cleveland, master, to the Achilles ; G. F. A.
