 notorious Admiral insulted the good ipsopls of Bermuda by entering the port of St Georgss
 for coal The Governor at once hastened to present Admiral Wilkes with : copy of the Queens proclamation relative to the twenty four hours limit. but on representing that his ship needed some repairs, Admiral Wilkss, with difficulty, obtsined leave to stay from Monday. Oct. 9th until Thursday. Then he was induce to leave by threat of the Governor, that if hs did not leave he would be comnelled to do 60.
 The coming of Admiral Wilkes to Bermuda is declared to be gross insult to England, be- cause he must have known the defenselsss condition of the isand," and because he came
 to capture or destroy the six steamers in that
 port which were engaged in the trade with the
 Coafederates, we are tod, were badly frightend
 ed. One of the three vessels of the Admirals fleet, after leaving the port, continued cruising
 outside of St. Georges.

 sive field. We may hereafter expect ip that '. quarter something besides strategy. 1t WHITE RArs.-Mr. Rundlett, master of the h almshouse, in taking up stable floor. on Fri
