situation Of Affairs Off the Bar-HIi.h-
ly Important News

Yesterday forenoon passed in the CITY and horbor
without any stirring news or incident of note About
one, O'Clock telegram from Fort Sumter announced
that strange steamer, evidently an iron.cad Ind
just hove in sight The number of the ordinary block
aiding vessels strung along the horison was eleven
With good glass the outline of the iron.clad cou,d
be plainly seen from the city wharves and an endless
variety OF rumors and conjectures in relation to her
identity and designs soon afloat
Meantime, another strange sail made her appearance
in the ofiug. She proved to be the British steam
rgase Cadmus, 81 guns, bringing dispatches for the
Briast Consul and for the Petral, now anchored in
the haroor At three o'clock one of the boats of the
Cadmus brought the dispatches to the city in charge
Of Lieutenant.
We have learned from good authority that the
Cadmus brings intelligence that an expedition of n
very formidable character has been prepared to oner
ate against the City of Charleston and that the enemy
is now nearly ready for the attack. Mr.. Robert
Bunch the British Consul has orders to 90 aboard the
Cadmus and 10 get to Havana with the least possible
delay. We understand that he expects to leave on
Saturday next
From the Cadmus have information that the
mysterious steamer off North Channel is the Yankee
iron-c!ad frigate New Ironsides. She can hardly
cross the bar, she is said to draw nineteen feet
water her OBJECT for tho present. probably, is mere
~ to protect the bockaders from another attack.
The 1ronsides, it is believed, came from Broad
River The transports plying southwark from Beau.
fort N c. are probably bound for Port Royal, as the
rendezvous Of the land forces of the expedition.
In our naval success last week the enemy has had
foretaste Of our strength upon the water But the
preparations for the attack city were matured
previously and it is not believed that our naval vic
tory will either prevent or postnone it, 1t is we'll
however, that our deences are complete and that
we were able to strike the first blow in the struggle
70 hold our good old seaport. The blow, we trust
will encourage our defenders land and sea, to re-
double their activity and vigilance, and to spare no
pains to give bloody welcome to the assailants.-

Impending Anarchy i'm the NORTH.

A correspondent of the New York Herald writing
from Albany and speaking of the late dsgraceful pro-
ceedngs of the Legislature, says
They prove clearly that are to-day standing on a
volcano, liable at any moment to break forth with all
It's fury Ii proves also that the public mind is right
ior revolution and is in that condition not 10 be tr
fled with, either by Jacobin abolition faction or anv
other It's as liable to break out in place as another
and when it once breaks loose, when the first blow
is struck or the first pistol red-which at ono time
was mpent here-the Infection will spread and no
human power can stop it. That this is the true con-
dition OF the public mind at present. and that daily
events are developing is sentiment and ripenine for
the future, no one who has carefully watched their
progress in different localities of the North can helm
but admit. Improves that the perious hour Of the
nation is now upon us, aud that we are fast approacb
ing period when anarchy will be the order Of the
day unless rulers take such steps as are
to stay the storm.
The administration at Washington have not conmn-
nicated with Governor Seymour or any of his officials
since he was placed in Office; ALSO the movements If
Gen. Wool, calling upon the militia to report to him
instead OF the Governor. They consider this "a evil

may it be asked whittier we are drifting?
IMPORTANT IF TRUE.-We finds the following para

source and we accord full credence to the report that
Senator Brights wife, of Indiana, crossed General
Braggs lines in possession of sealed dispatches for
President Davis the contents of which, as announced
