Further Particulars of the blockade.

[special Correspondence of the Dispatch.]

Norfolk, May 2, 1861. May 2, 1861.

The blockade of our harbor commenced yesterday. The steamer Adelaide, Capt. Cannon, was stopped at Old Point yesterday morning, and her passengers and mails were taken off, and she allowed to return to Baltimore, with the order not to return.

The mails and passengers of the Adelaide were brought up last evening about 7 o'clock by the steamer J. E. Coffee, Capt. McCarrick, who received the same order as Capt Cannon.

The steamer Baltimore is now moored off Newport's News with three guns mounted.

There is nothing stirring of interest here.--It is very cool this morning.

Powder.
