Privates Josiah Jones, of Company C, and James Shepard, of Company B, of the Twenty-ninth Massachusetts regiment, were instantly killed, and W. W.

other equally powerful animal, a few days ago roused up the passions of Wm. Bird, a person of African antecedents, to such an extent that he was induced to seize a carnal weapon, in the shape of a pistol, and explode its contents in the direction of Josiah Jones' person — luckily for both, without effect. Jones went after the police, and the police went after Bird, who was caged in due time, and yesterday brought before the Mayor, who, for sufficient reasons, continued the case until to-day. other equally powerful animal, a few days ago roused up the passions of Wm.

The Emperor of the French has ordered twelve frigates to be laid down, on the tortoise principle, which was first suggested by Mr. Josiah Jones, of Liverpool. These frigates are each to be armed with four a peel guns. The weekly deaths in London, which has ranged for a long period almost invariably above 1,200, declined in the week previous to the last arrival to 1,069. The average number as obtained from the returns of the corresponding weeks of ten years in 1851-60, and corrected for increase of population, is 1,118. A correspondent of the Baltimore Exchange writes from Washington, June 21st, that the Hospital list at Georgetown amounted at that time to 700. The mortality was very great. Hardy Barnes was hanged at the jail in Fayetteville, N. C., on Friday last, for the murder of Albia Rhodes, about a year ago. It is said he made no confession. We learn from the Pickens (S. C.) Courier that Hon. J. L. Orr has been appointed a member of the Confederate Co

t in. He blew a whistle, and ten men answered it, and came to the porch. By this time Mr. Hinks had gotten down stairs and opened the door. He complained that the officer had been so impatient, and asked where he was to be taken.--The reply was, "you'll see." Mr. Hinks said that he desired that his family should know, when the officer replied, "Fort McHenry."--On entering the carriage he found Mr. Davis there. The column faced about, and the line of march was taken up for the fort. Col. Jones, of the 6th Massachusetts Infantry, proceeded with several hundred men to the residence of Chas. Howard, Esq., in Cathedral street, near Read. On ringing the front door bell, Mr. Howard appeared at the window, and being informed of the object of the visit, after the necessary delay of a few moments came down and delivered himself up, when he was placed in a hack and escorted to Fort McHenry. Another command, of about five hundred men, marched to the house of Mrs. Ducatel, in Saratoga

abre. Another, attempting to take the place of his comrade, was likewise dispatched, by the now bloody steel of the Colonel, and the rest turned to fly. At this instant one of the retreating Federal halted, took deliberate aim, and shot away a portion of the Virginian's car, while a second sent a bullet through his body. Hardly had the flash of the two muskets disappeared, however, before the Yankees paid the forfeit of their temerity with their lives, one of them being killed by Serg't Major Jones, of the First. "Forward, boys; always forward; don't mind me." cried the wounded Colonel, and there he fell among the trophies of his prowess. I am glad to say that, though seriously, and at one time thought to be mortally hurt, the gallant soldier is now believed to be out of danger. Brig. Gen. Roger A. Pryor during the day had the misfortune to be taken a prisoner, but the corresponding good fortune to effect his escape.--He had started off on foot to call up two or three regiment

ple plates the knowledge gamed of the structure of different kinds of iron has been very great. "Some of the plates, on being struck by several 68-pounder shot in nearly the same place, so as to compel a fracture, have exhibited a peculiar silvery appearance in the separated parts of the metal, which have at the same time shown an extraordinary length of fibre. This was particularly the case with the rolled plates made at the Parkgate Works for the experimental angulated target of Mr. Josiah Jones, of Liverpool. In these plates, however, as in most other rolled plates manufactured at that time, the greatest injury by the shot was found to be inflicted on the reverse side of the plate, next the timber backing, where, the layers of the metal being opened by the sudden shock of the 60 pound shot, they spread out with radiating cracks, and penetrated the timber to an average depth of from four inches to five inches. "The Atlas Works rolled plates were equally faulty with the Pa
