The fire of the enemy was remark
ably we'll directed, but vainly, to-

three times-one solid S-inch shot

shot on the side armor forward of
the pilot house. Neither caused any
damage beyond bending the plates.

In conclusion, permit me to say
that the action was most CALAMITY

DANGER OF THRILLING WITH
WIDOW New York corres~
Inquirer gives the following Incl
dent:
Considerable excitement was caused
among the guests in a certain we'll
known hotel in this city, few
nights since, by the entrance of tie
sheriff, accompanied by several Off
GERS, who proceeded to turn the
dodgers out of bed and to carry off
the furniture, leaving the boarders
the choice of seeking another hotel
or sleeping on the bare floor. Many
surmises were made as to the reason
of this strange conduct, but it was
not until several days after that the
facts leaked out. 1t appears that the
lessee of the hotel hired the furniture
in question from a widow-"fair, fat
and orty'-whom he promised &c
marry; but some how or other be
failed to redeem his promise, and inc
widow out of revenge resolved &C
deprive him Of her furniture, ard
accordingly caused it to be removed
The case will, very probably, come
up in court, and we may expect
some rich Developments The affair
creates no little sensation % the par
ties are we'll known.

The Iribune's Washington dispatcl,
says the statement in Barney's letter.
printed in to-day's Tribune, that Barney
has had an interview with President Lin
coin, is contradicted on the highest au-
thoritv.
1t is further to be stated on the same
authority that the President has no
knowledge, whatever, Of the statements
contained in the letter, and no communi-
cation on that subject, or embodying such
information made to him in any way.
Leading Republicans deny all knowledge
OF the matter, and the supposition that
this letter has any weight for their alleged
attention to Barney's statements, is en-
tirely erroneous. 1t may be added that
no recent communication from Fernando
Wood has been received by the Presi-
dent, and none whatever on these or sim
liar subjects.
Private adviccs from orc Of the most
eminent friends of America in France,
represent that the recent offer Of media
tion by Napoleon is there regarded as an
expression of deliberate and matured
purpose, from which the Emperor will
not recede, and that it is considered a
serious blow to onr canse in Europe, and
to the cause of freedom in Europe, not
less than in America.
