Unfortunate and eventful voyage. The brig Crocus, W. H. Herbert, Captain, with guano from the Sombrero Islands, arrived at this port on the night of the 28th.--From the vessel's log, the Crocus left the Island of Guadalupe on the 7th of October, with a clear bill of health, and not until the 23d of that month, while loading at the Island of Sombrero, did the misfortunes of her Captain commence. On that day his youthful wife, to whom he had been married only five months, died on the Island of the fever which had been prevalent at Guadalupe early in the autumn.

Their insincerity, as evidenced in this account, seems almost fabulous, and furnishes us with an unmistakable proof of the utter want of honor that exists in the breasts of even those of our enemies to whose good opinions we are best entitled: Arrival of the prisoners at Fortress Monroe.

It was an exciting scene and a mortifying one for there were we, seven hundred strong, ready and eager to take part in the battle, yet not a gun-boat, not a piece of artillery, nothing but a dozen fishing skiffs to cope with these steamers. We had to stand like children and see our boat, our provisions, and our men captured before our eyes. Fort Clark Hatteras Inlet, Oct. 7. On the 4th of October, at 5 o'clock in the morning, a fleet of vessels hove in sight on Pamnco Sound, and a few officers and soldiers gathered, out of curiosity, on the beach, to witness their approach on. They were thought to be our vessels and from their number, we judged that some of them were prizes, as there had been evidence of a fight on the Sound the day previous. Upon nearer approach, the strange action of the fleet in showing no colors, and their peculiar signals, gave rise

Spy, from on board the United States steamer Cambridge, off Beaufort, gives an account of an unsuccessful expedition from that vessel to cut out and destroy some vessels, one a privateer at anchor in the Sound, and also to break up a battery said to be erected near the entrance to the Inlet. The expedition started October 7th. We quote from the letter as follows: "The expedition was composed of three boats from the Cambridge, with their crews, armed with Sharpe's rifles and cutlasses, with revolvers, commanded respectively by Lieutenant Gwinn, and acting masters Strong and Eldridge; and two boats from the Albatross, with armed crews, under the command of Lieutenant Ward--the whole being under the command of Lieutenant Gwinn, of the Cambridge.
