GREAT BRITAIN.

In the House of Commons, on the Sth
instant, Sir j. Elphinstone expressed re-
greet at the absence in the Queens speech
of any allusion to the state of the pub
lie service. He said: Our relations with
America arc not in satisfactory state
and ir the event of war, England was not
in the position to afford adequate pro-
lection to her commerce. He intended,
on an early day, to call attention to the
state of the navy.
On bringing up the report on the adj
dress, Mr.. Scully moved an amendment
declaring that the state of Ireland is not
satisfactory, and that the prevalence Of
the emigration from there was an ex>
ceedingly bad feature.
After debate, the amendment was re.
jected.

that VIC would be without a Minister
from France pending the question of the

by those here who know, creditable, or

FROM WILMINGTON-FALL OF FORT AN
DERSON.
An arrival at Fortress Monroe, from
Wilmington, announces the fall Of Fort
Anderson. The american says:
The bombardment of Fort Anderson
was kept up by the navy with great
spirit on Saturday, and General Schofield
had prepared for grand assault of the
works on Sunday morning. At an early
hour it was discovered that the enemy
had commenced the evacuation, when
the assault was ordered, and the fort was
soon in our possession, with all its guns
uninjured, and before they had time to
blow up the magazine.
A number of prisoners were captured,
but the larger portion Of the garrison
made good their escape to Wilmington.
A pursuit was Immediately ordered, and
at the time Lieutenant Gushing left with
his dispatches for Washington, Admiral
Porter had ordered the monitors Monad-
mock and Canonicus, with the gunboats,
up to Wilmington. 1t was expected
that the city would be in our possession
on Monday, beyond doubt, as rumors
had reached the fleet that Bragg was
rapidly evacuating it. Fort Anderson
was the only work Of any Importance
that barred the passage Of our troops
and naval vessels up to the city.
The evacuation of Fort Anderson is
said to have been fastened by daring
adventure Of Lieutenant Gushing, he
having tioated large scow up the river
with the tide past the fort. TWAS dis

in the darkness, to be a monitor that
had hanked the fort, and caused preci-
plate retreat.

THE CAPTURE OF GENERALS CROOK AMI
KELLY-sTILL ANOTHER DISASTER.

THE CAPTURE OF GENERALS CROOK AMI
KELLY-sTILL ANOTHER DISASTER.
Another of those SURPRISES" of 50
frequent occurrence (says the Baltimore
American) during the past year in the
western portion Of the State, bordering
on Virginia, occurred on Tuesday at
Cumberland, Maryland. A dispatch
from Wheeling announces that party
Of rebel cavalry dashed into Cumberland
before daylight yesterday morning, "sur-
prised and captured the pickle is, and then
made prisoners and carried off Generals
Crook and Kelly" The marauders were
probably portion of Whites rebel ca
valry, which has been operating in West
Virginia for some time since. "Sur-
prises of pickets" is the stereotyped
excuse for all the depredations that have
been committed at Cumberland, New
creek, Piedmont, and other points in that
vicinity, and it is nearly time they were
effectually put an end to. A force was
sent after the rebels, as usual, but with
what success has not yet been ascer-
tanned. General Crook has several times
distinguished himself in the operations
under General Sheridan. General Kelly
has been long time in command of the
Department in which Cumberland is
situated, but we cannot say whether he
was in command at the time of the raid.
A few days ago, scouting party, one
hundred and twenty-five strong, under
the command of Major Thomas Gideon,
went to Piedmont, Virginia, by way of
Berry's ford and Ashby's gap. At or
near Piedmont they surprised and cap
turcd a number Of Mosby's guerrillas,
together with q commissary train and q
largo lot of horses and mules. On their
return to headquarters the party was
ambushcd in Ashby's gap by superior
force of rebel guerrillas, and the property
and prisoners they had taken recapturcd
by the rebels. We lost between fifty
and sixty men in killed, wounded and
missing.

inhabitants Of Savannah after the cans
ture Of that city.
There is information that the eyaeua-
ton Of Charleston began nearly three
weeks ago. A rebel officer. who de-
serted and was examined at Port ROYAL.
gave some Of the details; but they were
not then believed. Since that time the
rebels have been at work removing
stores; though oil the heavy supplies
were left.
The only information in regard to the
rebels is that the direction taken by them
in their flight was northward, and that
their number was about fourteen thou>
sand.
An expedition Of Union troops to Bulls
Bay, short time before the evacuation,
was, it is understood, intended to cut
the railroad north of the city; but, if
successful, it could have prevented the
escape of only few Of the rebels.
Previous. to the enemy evacuating,
they fired the upper part of the city, by
which six thousand bales of cotton were
burned, and it is supposed that before
they could subdue it two.thirds of the
city would be destroyed.
A fearful explosion occurred in the
Wilmington Railroad depot, the cause of
which was unknown. Several hundred
citizens lost their lives. The building
was used by the company, and was stu
ated in the upper part of the city.
Admiral Dahlgren was the first to run
up to the city, where he arrived about 2
P. NJ. General q. A. Gilmore soon
after followed in the steamer A. w. Cost,
and bad an interview with General
administering, he being the first &C.
neral officer in the city, and for the pre-
sent in command.
