The vessels engaged were the Topeka,

Wasp and Leydcn, being the smallest Of
the quartet, led the way, followed by
the Annapolis, while the Topeka, which
carried the heaviest battery, brought up
the rear. The channel Is very narrow and
on the bluff to the right was the fort and
signal station. As the Wasp and Leyden
rounded the points the forts fired dozen
shots, none Of which, however, fell near
them, and the Topeka returned the fire
with her three-pounders. Almost imme.

and the Topeka continued to send she'll,

New York, July 24.-One of the larg-
est transfers of gold ever made in this
city took place yesterday, in which &c.
0OO0OO was transferred from the clear
inghouse to the subtreasury. The trans.
fer was made by the clearing house as the
representative of the associated banks and
was the final payment Of deposits aggre-
eating $l6,0OO,0o0. The amount repre-
sented the excess of the loan for which
the banks were unable to deposit bonds
with the treasury as security. 1t was,
therefore, necessary to deposit the money
in the treasury and in the absence of
sufficient legal tender notes, gold had to
be used.
