The news. The news of yesterday is of little importance, though we have to record a very brilliant little affair on the lower James river. It seems five gunboats on Monday evening came up to Fort Powhatan, and after shelling a wharf in that neighborhood for some time started two barges, loaded with troops, to the shore. When the barges were within a few yards of the land the troops attached to our signal corps at that point from an ambush poured into them such a murderous volley of musketry as caused them to make a precipitate flight. At least two--thirds of the Yankees in the boats are said to have been either killed or wounded. There were no casualties on our side. We yesterday saw a gentleman who had just returned from his farm near the mouth of the Chickahominy who says the report that a gunboat had gone up that river is without foundation. Advices from Fredericksburg are of little interest. A company of Yankee cavalry dashed into Falmouth on Monday evening and

s on the top of his head, inflicted by Mr. Hicks's club on the night of the attempted burglary.--The circumstances of the case, as they came out in the evidence, may be briefly summed up. On Sunday night a week ago, about two o'clock, some watchmen discovered five negroes in the act of breaking in the rear door of Mr. Howard's store. The negroes fled, and were pursued by the watchmen, and two of them captured. Watchman Hicks pursued Edward, who, getting to a secluded part of Council Chamber Hill, turned on the watchman and fired his pistol at him, the ball passing through his coat and grazing his side Mr. Hicks then knocked the prisoner down several times, but the latter finally managed to escape, leaving his coat, pistol, and hat in the hands of the watchman.

ever since. Yesterday morning, about one o'clock, officer Jenkins caught him secreted in the house of his wife, on Duval street. He was sent on to be tried before the Hustings Court. Peter, slave of Edward Smith, was charged with stealing a trunk valued at fifteen hundred dollars, fifty bunches of fish, and fourteen dozen eggs, from Wm. J. Jennings, of Charles City. It appeared that Monday night Mr. Jennings put his cart, containing the trunk, fish, eggs, and some other things, into Woodward's stable, on Franklin street, below 17th, and that during the night the stable was broken open and the trunk, fish, and eggs stolen. Early yesterday morning Peter was found selling some of the fish in the first fish market. He was arrested, and in a cellar on the corner of Main and 19th streets, where it was ascertained he had staid the night before, the trunk and some bunches of the stolen fish were found. The trunk had been broken open and its contents carried off. The Mayor ordered th

Richard L. Saunders was examined and sent on to the Hustings Court for stealing locks from the vaults and enclosures in Hollywood Cemetery. It appeared that Mr. James Ryan, while passing through the cemetery about ten o'clock Sunday morning, saw Saunders breaking off the locks from the private enclosures with a long screw driver, and slipping them into his pockets. After watching him for awhile, and seeing him break off a lock from the railing around Mr. Wellington Goddin's lot Mr. Ryan went off and informed Mr. O'Keeffe, keeper of the cemetery, of the facts, when Mr. O'Keeffe arrested Saunders, and found in his pockets seven locks and the screw-driver amp Lee, and that he was stealing the locks to sell for bread. In Court, however, he tried to produce the idea that he had bought both the chisel and locks from Mr. Ryan, one of the witnesses against him. He was sent on to the Hustings Court, and, if convicted, will be likely to go to the penitentiary, as he has before been convi

He was sent on to the Hustings Court, and, if convicted, will be likely to go to the penitentiary, as he has before been convicted of petty larceny, and the effect of two convictions for petty larceny being to amount to a felony. William and Elijah Pittman, free negroes, were ordered thirty lashes each for robbing an old negro named Martin Smith of fifty dollars. The rogues decoyed the old negro into a sequestered spot last Sunday, under pretence of having some flour to sell him, when William grabbed his money, which he had in his hand, and ran off, while Elijah held him and prevented him from making any outcry. After William had been arrested Elijah came to the old negro and returned him his fifty dollars, and tried to induce him not to prosecute the ease. Edward, slave of Mr. Wm. Winston Jones, was charged with attempting
