purpose OF affordmg the Artillery an op-

day anchored in the Bay, about 1000 yards
from the shore, and eqni-dstant from Cas-
tie Wi Jams and the Battery. The firing
was commenced from the light of General
Morton's Brigade, abo 9 o'clock, P M.
from 6, 9 II and IS Founders. The num-
Der OF shot fired by the Brig de. was about
1870, of which about 4ths entered the vessel
although the object that was presented, was
comparatively small, being the stern of the
vessel only. The Veteran Corps. comman-
ded by Capt. Delamsser, fred several shot
from long nins, which raked the hulk re.
peatedly.
The detachment from the brigade on du-
ty in West Battery fred about 20 shot, near--
~ all OF which damaged the hulk, and SCI
veral passed directly through her. Several
heavy shot from Castle Williams also bored
her.
The firing continued about two hours.
when the vessel was perceived to be on FIRE.
