altimore, Jan. 17. --The steamer Adelaide, Captain Cannon, which was due here yesterday morning from Fortress Monroe, did not reach the port until six o'clock last evening having been detained in consequence of a tremendous gale at Old Point. She left that place on Tuesday afternoon for Baltimore, but after going several miles deemed it advisable to return. The wind at Old Point was most violent, and it was dangerous for vessels to lie at the wharves. The steamer Georgeanna, Capt. Pearson, came up this morning from Old Point, and reports an abatement of the gale, which, without doubt, prevailed with unwonted severity outside of the Capes. There was no arrivals or departures at Old Point during yesterday, nor had anything been heard from the Burnside expedition. There are still in Hampton Roads about two thousand men, which were intended for the Burnside expedition, but were unable to get out in consequence of running aground in the Chesapeake during a dense fog.
