WASHINGTON, March 10.-Lieut. j. Chaplin,
commanding the United States steamer, Vally
City, off Roanoke Island, writes to commo-
dore GOldsborough under date of Feb. %,
noticing a magnanimUus act of bravery by
John Davis, gunners mate, On board his yes
sci at the taking OF Elizabeth City. He says
John Davis was at his station during the ac
ton in the magazine issuing powder, when a
shell from the enemy's battery approached
the magazine and exploded outside Of it. He
threw himself over a barrel Of powder, pro.
tecting it with his own body from the fire,
while at the same time he passed out the pow
der for all the gunners.
Commodore GodSborough, in transmitting
his letter 10 the navy department, says, it at.
lords me infinite pleasure to forward this com
munication To the navy department, TO whoae
special conside ration beg leave TO recommend
the gallant sailor alluded to, and adds, in a
postscript that Davis actually seated himself
on the barrel the top being out, and in this
position he remained until the flames were
extnguishcd.

New York, March l0-The steamship
City of Washington, from Liverpool 10Th, and
Queenstown 9Th, arrived this morning.
Gibraltar advices OF the 18th uit state that
the pirate Sumter is still there. No signs of
her departure. The U. S steamer ruscarora
was in Spanish waters off Algeslras. a Mad
rid telegram of the 25th, says the captain of
the Sumter had been arresIed at Fsngiers, at
the instance OF the American consul at Gibral-
tar and the commander OF the Tuscarora, who
went to Tangiers Tor that purpose. 1t was
reported that the Sumter Appeared off Byeres,
South France, Feb. 18th.
The Americans in London celebrated Wash
ington's birthday with public breakfast DIR.
Mcllvain, bishop OF Ohio, presided Minister
Adams, consul Morse, two secretaries OF ega-
ton, Cyrus Field, DIR. MeGowan, and others,
were present.
Mr.. Adams, in patriotic speech to the
memory OF Washington, said it was well tor
Americans to think on his course at THIS time.
The country was in the midst OF II crisis long
foreseen aud feared, but by initiating Wash
ington's great virtues they would conquer and
subdue the magn power which has sought to
rule and ruin. The struggle is fearful, but
there was no alternative. The assault upon
the government of the United States carries
with it an aggressive principle, which, it not
defeated must III the end be fatal 10 freedom.
1t involves the acknowledgment OF prescrip-
tive right OF some men TO rule over their tel
lows, aud the government must therefore fully
establish its fundamental doctrine at every
hazard. lie concluded by again calling for
that patience and perseverance shown by
Washington, as the sure road to success The
heaiths of the queen and President Lincoln
were drank with enthusiasm. DR. McGowan,
in speaking to the latter, eulogized President
Llncolns administration, and expressed full
confidence that he could prove equal to the
task.
