he Bay of Biscay encountered a heavy gale, when the Stonewall became short of coal, and orders were given to the blockade-runner, City of Richmond, to proceed to the island of Bermuda, and there await the arrival of the Stonewall. The Stonewall then proceeded to the harbor of Ferrol, in Spain, for the purpose of taking on coal. Whilst there, the Federal frigate, Niagara, under command of Captain T. T. Craven, and the Sacramento, a vessel of war of the United States navy, commanded by Captain Walke, appeared off this port and anchored at Corunna, nine miles distant, from whence they could watch the Stonewall. The Niagara was one of the fastest ships in the navy of the United States, and carried a battery of ten 150-pound Parrott rifles, while the Sacramento mounted two eleven-inch guns, two nine-inch guns, and one 60-pound rifle. The Stonewall carried a 300-pound Armstrong rifle in her forward turret, and two 70-pound Armstrongs in her stern turret, that being her entire armament.

e Mohawk has been thoroughly overhauled and two medium 32-pounders added to her battery, so that now she mounts six 32's, besides having two 12-pound howitzers, which can be used as forecastle guns. In addition to this she has a 9-pound mortar on her forecastle. Her stores are nearly all on board, and she is ready for sea. Her full complement of men and marines are on board. The Supply is loaded, and only awaits her ship stores and the conclusion of the court-martial in the case of Capt. Walke, who will probably be acquitted of any mal-administration, and ordered to the command of the ship. The Corwin has been hauled alongside of the wharf and is to be fitted with a battery as soon as possible. She will be of good service as an attache of a blockading squadron. The other vessels are being overhauled and will be put in order as soon as possible. The Harriet Lane left the Navy-Yard yesterday at 2 o'clock. Considerable difficulty was encountered in getting the ship fro

on to the carriage, to be used for land service. The following is a list of her officers: John Faunce, Commander; D. B. Constable, First Lieutenant; D. D. Thompkins, Second Lieutenant; H. O. Porter, Second Lieutenant; Thomas M. Duncan, Third Lieutenant; J. M. Thatcher, Third Lieutenant; Horace Gamble, Third Lieutenant. The Supply has been in commission for some few days past, and, having all her cargo on board, is expected to sail upon very short warning. It is not expected that Commander Walke will take charge of her during the intended trip. The Coatzacoalcos has been chartered by the Government, and is now coaling. This vessel is rated as A2, 1,953 tons burthen, eight feet draught, has two decks; is built of oak, copper and iron fastened; has a walking beam of engine, with a stroke of twelve feet, and a seventy-inch cylinder; was built in Niagara City in 1854 for the lake trade, and was then known by the name of the America.--She was brought down the rapids of the St.

Naval intelligence. --It is now well understood in the navy that Lientenant Barbot, who was tried by court-martial at the Brooklyn Navy-Yard for striking a sailor, will not be removed from the service. His sentence may be a severe reprimand. Commander Walke, we hear, was found not guilty of the serious specifications; but the Court could not overlook his disobedience of orders. His motives were believed to be good. The President will probably ratify the decision in these cases next week. The Armstrong case is still going on.

Lynor law in Princess Anne. --Tat Walke, a negro, living in Princess Anne county, Va., was hung Friday by an infuriated party, who assembled for that purpose at his residence, near the Court House. The offence, says the Norfolk Argus, was a villainous attempt at personal violence towards a respectable widow lady. It appears that this is the second charge of the kind against the guilty victim.

ou. With great respect, Your obedient servant, A. G. Magrath. To Hon. John Robertson, Commissioner from Virginia. The arrival of the storeship Supply at NewYork. The telegram announcing the arrival of the U. S. storeship Supply, Capt. Walke, at New York, with Lieut. Slemmer, was a mistake.--The Slemmer was Mrs. Lieutenant, and not the officer himself. The following is the list of passengers who went from the Warrington Navy-Yard on the Supply: Mrs. Lieut. Slemmer, U. S. A.rt Pickens were placed on board the Supply to-day, before the surrender of the Navy-Yard. On the following day the storeship, under a flag of truce, proceeded to the wharf of the Navy-Yard, where the laborers and marines were taken on board, Captain Walke having given his parole that they should be landed north of Mason & Dixon's line. Overtures had been made to the marines to join the secessionist forces, with the alternative of expulsion in case of a refusal. The personal property of the f

ntry, under command of Col. Bufford, Gen. Cullom, and Gen. Sherman, being in command of the troops. The former leaving a sick bed to go ashore, discovered what was evidently a magazine on fire at both extremities, and immediately ordered the train to be cut, and thus saved the lives of the garrison. While I cannot express too strongly my admiration of the gallantry and wise counsels of the distinguished aid and engineer of Gen. Halleck, Gen. Cullum, I must add that Commanders Dove, Walke and Stemble, and Lieuts. Commanding Paulding, Thompson, Shirk and Phelps — the latter being in command of the mortar division, assisted by Lieut. Lieford, of the ordnance corps of the United States Army--nobly performed their duty. I have my flag on board the Cincinnati, commanded by the gallant Commander Stemble. Gen. Sherman remains temporarily in command of Columbus. A. H. Foote, Flag Officer. Other Federal accounts say that the Confederates retreated to Fort Randolph. The
