Malta, with stores and provisions for the ships sta-
tioned there. There were at the Ph z-eas four French
ships of war, four Italian, two Austrian, one Rus-
sian, one Turkish, and one Greek. H.M.S. Revenge
has just joined the squadron outside,
'lnc following vessels have been chartered by the
Government for the conveyance of troops and stores
to India and the colonies—viz., the Conflict, 1,170
tons, for Calcutta; the Queen of the North, 124
tons, and the Stamboul, 890 tuns, for Bombay ; the

STAMPED ....sd.

at the time there were only seven pounds of steam. The
disaster happened immediately after cold water had been
put into the boiler. The magazines of the ship were within
three feet of the boiler, and the shell room as near. As soon
as the explosion occurred a panic commenced, the men
jumped overboard, fearing the explosion of the magazine
and shell rooms. At this point the gunner, Mr. John A.
Lovett, in the absence of the first lieutenant, took charge
and displayed great energy and courage in saving life and
property, and in re-assuring the panic-stricken men.
" The ship was found to be filling, when the poor
wounded and burned sufferers were landed, together with
the personal effects of the crew and officers. It was
and blowing very hard, and the bank was very muddy upon'
which the wounded were landed. The poor fellows Iny
writhing and groaning in the mud for some time before they
could be got to a cotton gin near by.
"The ship was hauled in near the shore, and has sunk
to her deck, settling firmly on the bottom. Tho powder
and shells are a total loss. The guns have been landed,
and the nine-inch and rifle aro already in position at a
strong point, and although the loss of the vessel and the
brave men is much to be deplored, yet with the guns ashore
manned by the splendidly-drilled crew of the late Chatta-
hoochee, the river is much safer than even before."
The following are the official accounts of the cap-
ture of the Atlanta at Savannah :
"Flagship Wabash, Port Royal Harbour, S.C.,
June 17.
" Sir,--I have the honour to inform the department That
since mailing my despatches I have received further details
of the capture of the Atlanta, sent through the kindness of
Col. Barton, by telegraph, from Pulaski.
"The Atlanta, Capt. Win. Webb, came down this morn-
ing, via Wilmington River, to attack our vessels in War.
saw Sound, accompanied by two wooden steamers filled, it
is said, with persona as spectators. The Weehawken, Capt
John Rodgers, at once attacked her, firing in all five shots
three of which took effect, penetrating her armour and kill
hag or wounding the crews of two guns. Two or three of
the pilots were also badly wounded and the pilot house
broken up, whereupon the vessel grounded and immediately
after surrendered. The armament of the Atlanta was two
7-inch and two 6-inch guns. She is but slightly injured.—
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
"S. F. DITFONT, Rear Admiral,
Commanding South Atlantic Blockading Squadron.
"P.S.—The officers and crew of the Atlanta numbered
.65 persons. " S. F. D."

The United States ship of war Macedonian (sail-
ing training ship), Capt. Luce, arrived at Spithead
on Friday, from Plymouth Sound and Portland, and
on enteringtheflagah exchanged

Commander-in-Chief
customary salutes taensdwtihthe
saluting battery of
the garrison. Saturday being
"Independence Day" she was decked with huge
American ensigns at mastheads and peak. and
colours at each yard arm, and at noon fired a salute
in honour of the occasion. Her Majesty being ex-
pected to arrive and pass through the harbour in
the Fairy, for Osborne, the ships of war in commis-
sion in the port hoisted ensigns at each masthead,
and in acknowledgment of the presence of the Ma-
cedonian at Spithead, the American ensign at their
mainroyal mastheads. On hauling down her flags
at sunset the Macedonian fired another salute.
The captain's good service pension placed at the
disposal of the First Lord of the Admiralty by the
promotion of Captain Lyster to the rank of Rear-
Admiral, has been conferred upon Captain E. C.
Tennyson D'Eyncourt.
The Lords of the Admiralty have abandoned the
intention—at least for the present—of converting
any of the wooden vessels standing on the stocks at
Chatham dockyard into iron-clad ships of war, and
the armour-cased frigate, the frame for which is
now being prepared at Chatham, will be an entirely
new vessel, and will be the first of the squadron of
armour-clad ships which are to be constructed from
the designs of Mr. E. J. Reed. The new frigate is
intended to be a superior ship, both in point of speed,
offensive and defensive power, and sea-going quali-
ties, to any of the armour-clads lately constructed,
and the Admiralty have decided on naming her the
Lord Warden, in compliment to Lord Palmerston.
The blocks for the Lord Warden have been laid on
No. 7 slip, and every effort is to be made to have
her completed and afloat within 18 months of the
present time.

" Newport News, June 22,
"To Hon. Gideon Wells, Secretary of the Navy.

"Your telegram was just received. Admiral Dupon
sent the Weehawken, Captain John Rodgers, and Naphant,
down to Warsaw Sound to look out for the Atlanta. June
17, at 6 a,m., the Atlanta came down, accompanied by two
gunboats. The engagement was exclusively between the
Weehawken and Atlanta. The latter mounted four of the
Brooke rifles, two of 7-inch on the bow and stern pivots,
and two of 6-inch on each end, She amid use two of the
former and one of the latter on a side. Rodgers engaged
the rebel at close quarters. The first 15-inch shot, fired by
himself, took off the top of the Atlanta's pilot house, and
wounded two of her three pilots. Another 15-inch shot
struck half way up her roof, which was iron
plated four inches thick, killing one and wounding
17 men. Eleven shots were fired in all—five of she Wee-
hawken, and six by the Atlanta. The fight was short, and
the victory signal.
"The Weehaken sustained no injury of any sort. The
Atlanta steers well, and made six knots against a hard sea
going to Port Royal. She was completely provided with
instruments and stores for a regular cruise. She has a ram,
a saw, and a tornado on her bow• Ex-Lieutenant W. A.
Webb commanded her. Her compliment was 125 souls.
" The Atlanta is said to have come down confident of
capturing the monitors easily, and her consorts, filled with
spectators, were prepared to tow them to Savannah. She
will soon be ready for service under the flag of the Union.
(Signed) "S. P. LEE, Acting Rear-Admiral.
REPORT OP CAPTAIN ROGERS.
"Washington, June 23.
" Captain John Rodger circumstantially relates the pro-
ceedings attending the capture of the Atlanta. On ex-
amination it was found that the enemy had been struck
four times. The first on the inclined side by a 17-inch
convex shot, which, although fired at an angle of 60 degrees
with her keel, broke in her armour and wood backing,
strewing the deck with splinters, prostrating about 40 men
by the concussion and wounding several by broken pieces
of armour and splinters; one man has since died. The
second shot, an 11-inch solid, struck the edge of the over-
hang knuckle, doing no damage except breaking a plate or
two. The third shot, a 15-inch coned, struck the top of
the pilot-house, knocking it off, wounding two pilots and
stunnir g the man at the wheel. The fourth shot, supposed
to be an 11-inch, struck a port stopper in the centre, break-
ing it in two and shattering it very much, driving many
fragments in through the port.
"There were on board at the time of the capture (as
per muster rolls) 21 officers and 124 men, including 28
marines.
" The captured rebel officers told Captain Rodgers that
they thought the speed of the Atlanta would be found to
reach ten knots. They believe her to be the strongest iron-
clad in the Confederacy, and confidently anticipated
taking both the Nahant and the Wekhawken. The fol..
lowing among her officers are late of the United States
Navy :—W. R. Webb, commander; J. W. Alexander, first
lieutenant; Alphonzo Barber, second do. ; A. L. Freeman,
surgeon ; G. H. Johnson, first assistant engineer.
"Admiral Dupont, in his despatch, says the Fingal in a
dense fog ran the blockade of Savannah a few days after
the Port Royal forts were taken in November, 1861. She
has been closely watched ever since, and, as in the case of
the Nashville, the long and ceaseless vigilance of his officers
has been rewarded. The Atlanta is now at Port Royal
under the American flag, having unaided steamed into the
harbour from Warsaw."
