The Queen Of the West Recap.
tuFed.
Eight thousand Rebels likely 70 be
BAgEed.

New YORK, April 22.-The HeralTs let
ter from New Orleans 18th says the news
from Brashear City to day is of the utmost
Importance. The. enemy evacuated his
works at Centreville last night, but will
probably be captured entire, as he is en-
closed between Growers forces on one side,
and those of Emery and Weitzel on the
other. He is leaving his guns and ammu-
milton behind him.
The steamer Diana lately taken from us
will certainly be recaptured as the steamer
Clifton has removed the distractions in
the river and is rapidly approaching her.
The Ram Queen of the West was captur-
ed from the enemy in Grand Lake at 10
o'clock this morning. Captain Fuller, her
commander, and all her officers and crew
numbering 80 souls in all are now prison.
ers at Berwick Bay. e
The capture of the Queen of the West is
considered most important, and the whole
affair is considered as victory of i'm
mense advantage to the Union canse.

Running the Blockade at Vicks-
burg.

PHILADELPHIA, April 22.-The Bulletin
of this city has the following dispatch:
CINCINNATI, April PA special dis
patch from Memphis to the Cincinnati
Gazette gives the following particulars of
the passage of the Vicksburg batteries
Seven gunboats, one ram, (the one taken
from the rebels,) and three transports,
started on Thursday last to run the block
ade. All went well until about two
thirds of the way down, when the hills
back of Vicksburg were lit up with large
fires. The transport Forest Queen returned,
and the Henry Clay was compelled to
sop. Several shots struck her below wa
ter line and others passed through her. All
hands made for flat boat, as their boat
was sinking.
It is believed all were lost. The pilot
floated down the river on plank and was
picked up opposite Warrenton.
The Forest Queen was considerably dam
aged, and had her steam drum shot away.
At last accounts heavy firing was heard
in the vicinity Of Warrenton, supposed to
be the gunboats Smelling the batteries at
that place.
There are eleven gunboats below Vicks-
burg now, including three under Farra-
gut.

steamer from Vera Cruz.
According to French accounts, Comon-
fort in all attempt to join Ortega in Puebla
had been defeated with considerable loss,
and Ortega had attempted sally in the
direction of the capital, but had been driven
back. Ortega is said to have ort1ered to
capitulate, which offer was refused by the
French commander, who insisted upon an
unconditional surrender,
One curious item Of the news is that in
answer to the prayer of a depntation of wo-
men that ne wouldn't lombard the city,
Forey had promised not to do so, he having
sufficient appliances to compel Janison to
surrender. In this connection we may
mention significant rumor which is pre-
vailing in Havana that Forey had suffered

More Traitors.

Clerk in the Adjutant Generals Office at

EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF POISONING BY
NITRIC ACID.-On Tuesday afternoon, Mr..
Thomas g. Stewart, one of the masters of
the Edinburg Institution, was engaged in
small private laboratory, preparing some
experiments, He was alone at the time,
and while he was carrying large vessel
of nitric acid across the room he accident
ally dropped and broke it. In endeavor-
ing to save some portion of the liquid, he
appears unconsciously to have inhaled
some Of the fumes. He left shortly after
the occurrence, without any idea of the in
juries he had received, and without feeling
any beyond the slightest Inconvenience.
But in the course Of the evening Mr.. Stew
art began to feel severe pains in the chest.
Medical aid was summoned, only to prove
unavailing, for he sank rapidly, and expir-
ed shortly after two o'clock on Wednesday
morning. The janitor, whom he called
into his assistance, is lying dangerously
i'll. Both cases are in the opinion of the
most eminent physicians, almost, if not
quite, without parallel. Scotsman,
