so, by the pirate Alabama. The ship
Emily Farnham, of Portsmouth, N. H.,
from New York for Liverpool, was
captured the same time, but released,
it having been proved by documents
aboard that her cargo was on English
account. Capt. Hayes and crew OF
the Brilliant arrived here IN the brig
Golden Lead, on which also arrived
the captains and crews of the whaling
banks Virginia, Elisha Dunbar, of New
Bedford, captured by the Alabama.
| The officers end men of the three
vessels burned were paroled and trans
ferred to the Emily Farnham, which
put them aboard the Golden Lead on
the 9th. Capt. Hager reports that am
other ship was in sight when the Brill
liant was burning, making up towards
the wreck-probably with hope of
saving life, and as another light was
seen at night it is presumed she also
was burned. The Golden Lead only
brought eight ofthe crews of the burnt
ships, the rest, sixty in number, would
be put aboard other vessels fallen IN
with by the Emily Farnham. The
Brilliant was built at East Boston IN
1852, s39 tons register, valued, with
freight and outfits, at $8O,o00, owned
by J. Atkins & Co., of New York, land
Capt Hager-all of whose property
was in her.
The following is correct list OF
vessels destroyed by the $780," Ships
Brilliant and Ocmulgee brig Quaker;
banks Virginia, Elisha Dunbar; brig
Altamaha; schooners Courser, Wealth

prisoners were landed on the Island OF

New York, Oct. 16.-The rebel
propeller Alabama is 200 tons burth-
en-, wooden vessel 30 feet long, rathN
er narrow, carries three long 32-pound-
ers on side, and is pierced for two
more amidships. She has l00-pound-
er rifed pivot gun forward OF the
bridge, and a 68~pounder on the main
deck. She has tracks laid forward for
;, a pivot bow>gun, and tracks att for
pivot stern chaser. Her guns are OF
the BlakeIy pattern, made by Wesley
and Preston, Liverpool 1862. She is
bark rugged, and is represented to go
thirteen knots and fifteen under steam.
She can get up steam in twenty min
f utes. Her complement of men is 100,
but anxious to ship more. The Vr-
ginia was captured on the 18th OF Sepe>
TENDER, in lat. 80, leng. 81. Stripped
of all valuables and burned. The Ellis
-, sha Dunbar was taken the next day
, and burned. The crews OF both YES
f sells were put in irons on deck on board
the Alabama, and kept there night
E and day till transferred to the Ella
Farnham. Capt. Clifford of the Dun@
bar, says he understood the Alabama
; would cruise about the Gulf banks
few weeks to destroy large American
/, shipping. They had knowledge OF
ships being loaded with arms tor the
United States, and were in hopes to
capture them. They were anxious to
:, stop the Dreadnaught, and were confl>
e dent Of their ability to capture or runs
o away from any vessel OF the United
: States. The steamer being IN the
d track of both outward and homeWard
: bound vessels, and more or less beng
e in sight every day, she will make great
e havoc among them.
I n The Alabama took her armament
and crew on board near the Western
4 Islands, from an English bark. Her
= crew is principally English, the officers
