The Niagara, which is a magnificent steamer, resembling
a little osir own Himalaya, saluted on bringing up in the
bay, a compliment which was returned by the discharge of a
miso of artillery from the Castle batteries. Soon after
leading Captain Withyoombe and bit crow she steamed off
in the direction of the Downs.

Our Liverpool correspoadent, writing yeaterdsy evening,
says :—" Much excitement was caused hereto-day when it
was annoucoed that the famous Confederate crone: Georgia
had been captured. Some months since the Georgia came
to Liverpool, said, after lying in the river several days, en-
tired the Birkeeheed Docks, where she underwent a
thorough overhaul, after which she merit up for sale by
public auction ; and Mr. Edward Bates, the well-known Li-
verpool and root Indian merchant, beau= the pur-
chaser. There, however, still remained a mystery about
the future movements of this vessel, as she was
morally eonaidered to be anything but a merchant venal—
her vary build, &0., being against her. Yet, notwithatend.
lug all the current rumours, the owners of the Georgia
stanaehly maistaised that the vessel was a bowl fide mar-
ebautnien. Matters west on until about three weeks ago,
when the Fideral war steamer Niagara entered the Mersey,
when the destination of the Georgia (which wee then loading
ia the Queues Dock) was again the subject of conversation.
Oa the morning that the Niagara left Liverpool the Georgia
wasjust having dock whoa the Federal vessel passed down
the river, when ell at once the ' ands/ was hauled
back, sad did not leave the river lentil two days after
the Niagara bad sailed. The Guegla sailed on the Bth of
August, or Lisbon and the west coast of Africa, with a
very valuable rage, under the command of CaptitinWithy-
combs, a well-known blockade runner. Oa the 15th,(when
of Berliagps Point, 12 or 16 miles north of Lisboa, she was
captured by the Niagara. The crew of the Georgia were
hansfausel to the Nis." tad a fresh crew put es board,
and the yawl wee headed for New York, while the Niagara
steered for Dover, where she landed thirty-five of the caw,
the other twenty, we understand, joining the Niagara, under
the piss that they were not British subjects. It is believed
here that the seizure is a legal one, and that previous to the
isle of the Georgia the government had warned the public
against purchasing any vessel which was alleged to be or
had been owned by the Confederate goverment.
