entrated and continued fire of seven hundred guns pouring torrents of shells and missiles on every spot. On the land side of Fort Fisher, we had seventeen guns — sufficient, could they have been used, to make it impossible that any force could have advanced under their fire. But, as the line of assailants got nearer to the fort, the whole fleet concentrated the fire, in ricochet shot, on the land side, and speedily dismounted every gun; and this unintermittent " fou d'enfor"--or, in plain English, hell fire--was kept up until the enemy's line was in sixty yards of the works. Then it ceased, and with a rush and yell the charge was made.--Captain Braddy, it is said, commanded the company guarding the sally-port. On him the hope of the garrison bung to keep the assailants out until the men and officers, who had been packed in the bomb proofs for fifty-six hours, could get out and make ready. Instead of making defence, this officer and his command, it is said, surrendered, and the en

pold Meignen. Some overtures of his composition were performed by the Philharmonic Society as early as 1835. He also wrote, about that period, two operas, "The Bridal of Dunure" and "Aurelia," which were never represented. He employed his pen also in literature, and was one of the editors of the National Gazette from 1839 until the paper was discontinued. When the Wood Opera Troupe came here, Mr. Fry, in conjunction with his brother, J. Reese Fry, had the opera of "Norma" brought out in English, and its success is among the traditional glories of the opera in Philadelphia. An original English opera, "Leonora," was performed at the Chestnut Street Theatre in 1845 by the Seguin Troupe with great success. It was also produced in Italian in New York in 1858. From 1846 to 1852 Mr. Fry was in Europe, corresponding with the New York Tribune and Philadelphia Ledger. On his return, he delivered a series of lectures on the history of music, introducing as illustrations two symphonies of

t, an Armstrong gun, with the "broad arrow" on it, and the name "Sir William Arm strong" marked in full on the trunnions. As the British Government claims the exclusive right to use these guns, it would be interesting to know how they came into forts held by the Southern rebels.--I find that immense quantities of provisions, stores and clothing have come through this port into rebeldom. I am almost afraid to mention the amount, but it is enough to supply over sixty thousand men. It is all English, and they have received the last cargo; no more will ever come this way. We picked up a telegram from General Lee to his subordinate here, saying that if Forts Fisher and Caswell were not held, he would have to evacuate Richmond. He says most truly, and I should not be at all surprised if he left it at any moment. We have plenty of force to hold this place against the whole Southern Confederacy. I have two hundred and fifty guns bearing on the narrow strip of land where our tro

A popular edition, however, will appear about the middle of February.--The Emperor, it is stated, has ordered the work to be translated into English, and has undertaken to revise the proofs himself. "There is a good deal of speculation in English literary circles as to the probable translator of the French Emperor's Vive de Cæsar. It is said that several eminent authors have gone from London to Paris to apply for the permission, but that up to the present moment no appointment has been made. The day of publication for the first volume is fixed for the 10th of next month, and, as it is the Emperor's wish that it should appear simu
