This proved' nearly fatal to Aeeeistant-Legiutxr
Campbell, and the Chief Engineer, heac Newton ;
both these gentlemen were taken from the fire-
room insensible. The chief engineer, Isaac Newton,„
appreciating the urgency of the clue, after being
restored by a draught of fresh air, very injudi-
ciously returned to endeavour to do what was pos-
sible to remedy matters. He fell, overcome by the
noxious gases, and was removed by a fireman..
Chief Engineer Stimers now took charge, and after
some hard work, the sea in the meantime subeidirg,,
succeeded in righting matters."
Of the engagement he says :
" The noise on board the:Monitor was terrific—the
striking of blot against her sides and the turret, the
awful noise of her own guns, the whizzing of shut
over the decks, and the explosion of those enormous‘
rifle shells when they Ltruck, made a terrible din.
When the guns recoiled the noise of the massive
pendulums swinging by and closing the ports re-
verberated throughout the vessel. The men on
board worked like heroes, covered with perspiration
and begrimed with powder. Once or twice during
the action all hands ' spliced the main brace.'"
It is related by an official who took charge of
Lieutenant Warden, of the Monitor, on his journey
from Fortress Monroe to Washington, that—
" Leaving him to the care of my wife, I went
with the Secretary to the President, and gave him
the particulars of the engagement. As soon as I
had done, Mr. Lincoln said, ' Gentlemen, I am
going to shake hands with that man,' and presently
he walked round with me to our little house. I
led him upstairs to the room where Worden was
lying, with fresh bandages over his
scorched eyes
and face, and said, Jack, here's the President, who
has come to see you.' He raised himself on his
elbow, as Mr. Lincoln took him by the hand, and
said, ' You do me great honour, Mr. President, and
lam only sorry that I can't see you.' The Presie
dent was visibly affected, as with tall frame and
earnest gaze he bent over his wounded subordinate,
but, after a pause he said, with a quiver in the tones
of his voice, You have done me more honour, sir,
than I ever can do to you.' He then sat down,
while Wordcn gave him an account of the battle,
and on leaving he promised, if ho could legally do
so, that he would make him a captain.'

Advices from Fortress Monroe to the 16th report
the arrival of a committee from Washington to in,.
quire into the recent naval engagement
" These gentlemen arrived at an early hour this
morning, and at once proceeded to inspect the ves-
sels in the harbour and. report upon their condition,
as also to examine the Monitor and make a full re-
port to Congress. They first took a steamer and
proceeded to Newport News, but nothing was to be
seen of the noble Cumberland but her upper yards,
which were above the water. The Congress had
disappeared. The Whitehall lay a charred mass.
The Minnesota was next visited and inspected; she
is not injured in any material way. The little
Monitor was next the subject of inspection. The
shown over every part—the various

places
where weresh othad struck, the blow which she
received from the prow of the Merrimac, then the
deck, the interior arrangements, the tower—every
part was carefully and critically examined. The
Engineer-in-Chief, Mr. Stimer, explained every-
thing to the committee. The committee leave to-
night, delighted with the Monitor, and unanimously
believing she will whip the Merrimac next time
she ventures out. The Merrimac is looked for
daily. The committee will recommend permanent
batteries for harbours, and vessels for sea-coast de-
fence, on the same plan of defence."

It appears from the statement of accounts for the
the year ended the 31st of January last that the
net earnings of the line will justify the board in re-
commending a dividend for the half-year at the
rate of 3 per cent. per annum, leaving a balance or
£21,508 to be carried over, which includes the sur-
plus of the previous half-year.

LONDON, CHATHAM, AND DOVER.
„snvial meeting of this company was held rs-
ay, at Palace licifer,-16—Cgolv-, =tom
der a bill now before Parliament to authcn.lio :ho
company to construct additional works, and to ob-
tain additional lands in Kent and Surrey. Lein
Sondes was in the chair.

Mr. Brooke, the assistant-secretary, having read
the notice convening the meeting, Mr. Newman, the
solicitor, read the heads of the bill.
Mr. HARTRIDGE said it was understood out of
doors that it was not the intention of the directors
to proceed with the bridge across the Thames at
Blackfriars. _ _

Sir C. RONEY said the hon. proprietor had been
completely misinformed. (Hear.) He then read a
letter from Messrs. Pete and Co., which the board
had received that morning. It earnestly impressed
upon the board the importance of constructing the
the
obring
bridge at Blackfriars, not only to the company, but
also to the contractors, requesting board to
bring every influence they possiblycould to
about an early decision on the subject. Sir M. Peto,
on the part of the firm, had also called the attention
of the Lord Mayor to the serious position in which
the contractors were placed by the non-decision o
the city authorities with regard to the London,
Chatham, and Dover Railway bridge, stating that,
in the anticipation of an early decision, the contrac-
tors had made all their, arrangements for plant, iron,
and every detail. The company had also spent up-
wards of £lOO,OOO in obtaining land for the bridge
on both sides of the river.
In reply to a question,
Sir:C. RoNEY said that there was no subject upon
which his colleagvm at the Board felt greater
anxiety than that of commencing the bridges across
the Thames without further loss of time. (Hear.)
Mr. FORBES stated, in reply to a remark, that
the executive attached the utmost importance to the
goods station on the river at Blackfriars, and to the
construction of the bridge.
The motion approving the bill was then carried.
An extraordinary meeting was then held, and, on
the motion of the Chairman, seconded by Sir C.
Roney, the directors were authorised to raise
£129,000 on shares.
An agreement for working the traffic of the Kent
Coast Railway for 60 per cent. of the receipts was
approved and adopted.

Adelaide, flying the
Confederate flag, arrived in the river,
from Charleston, which port she left on the evening of the
3d ult., having run the blockade without any hindrance
from the blockading fleet. The Adelaide is 273 tons burden,
and commanded by Captain Swan. During the voyage she
experienced very severe weather, all her boats having been
carried away. Captain Swan states that several other
vessels besides his had successfully run the blockade with
cargoes of cotton and rosin, while many others were
pre-
paring to follow, the blockade being far from strict. ThelB
cargo of the Adelaide consists of 669 bales of cotton,. .
