Safe arrival of a Confederate schooner at Pensacola--British demand for the Wilder — another schooner burnt and abandoned.

Mobile, Jan. 26.
--The Mobile Register states that a private dispatch from Pensacola announces the safe arrival there of a Confederate schooner. The Yankees fired at the schooner, but she escaped unhurt.

The British Consul at Mobile has sent a messenger by flag of truce to demand the liberation of the schooner Wilder, which is claimed as a British vessel.

The schooner Jessie Richmond, while attempting to run the blockade, got aground. The Captain and crew abandoned her and burnt the vessel, including about 150 bales of cotton on board.
