The twenty-second of February at Warrington.

--On the Twenty-Second ult., at 12 o'clock, the battery at the Warrington (Fla.) Navy-Yard fired a salute of twenty-one guns, which was followed by the same number from Fort Barrancas. These salutes were answered from the United States frigate Sabine, and sloop-of-war St. Louis, lying off our harbor, which was followed by the United States gunboat Wyandotte and Fort Pickens. Fort McRae, not having any guns mounted, did not fire a salute. In the meantime, the Florida Battalion, composed of the Pensacola Guards and the Pensacola Rifle Rangers, formed on parade, and, after marching and drilling very creditably, fired a salute also in honor of the day. It was truly an imposing sight.--Pensacola Tribune.
