“Yesterday New Orleans was subjected to the | most terrible humiliation and degrauation which | have ever fallen upon a brave gud true people. Aer a valiant defence by our forte below the city —after exhausting all our resourees and skill-- the greater resources on water of the enemy en- abled them to pass oar exterior fortifications witli | their large fleet, and they approached the vity with a squadron of fiftweo of their largest vesaels, A steasaships, gunbeats or wortar vessels. There was a large force of land troops m the city: but ot waat avail were they against the shipsand gun- boate of the enemy? At the moment it was &anounced tnat the ships had passed the forts. it

vcame evident to all reflecting persons that the fity was deienceless. Steps were then taken to Feuder it a barren coaquest. By order of the Gro-

veruor aud jmilijary autworities, all the government?

Munitions aud stures were sent away. Such ma- terial of war as could not be removed was des- truyed. Orders were also issued to destroy all the Cotton in this city. This was ala done

On reference to a return made to Parliament, and ordered by the House of Commons to be primed, 7th June, 186), it will be seen thatthe increase of Dut for the year, paid by the * QUEEN,” was £2567, being upwards of £1000 more than paid by any other office ever yet established in this City.

[From Gore's General Advertiser, Oct. 24, 1861.]

“ Indeed, we believe that we are perfectly justi- fied in saying that no ether Company, withte the sume period, ever attained so large an income im either the Fire or Life Departments ae the lasurance Company. In making this statement, make no exception even in favor of our older local. companies, namely, the Liverpool and London, the Royal, and the Lancashire Insurance Companies.”
