An ingenious method of throwing a robe tea i ship in distress has been itnagined by M. Bertin- lelli, of Tucin. It is well knowt that this is gene-

ra'ly done by means of iron projectiles, Whigh sink i below the water if the rope they carry be top short, M. Bertinelli’s projectile is made of wood, which, though heavy enough te be ehot at a great

Miss Longworth, or Mra Yel- verton, writes to the papers to enclose a copy of a letter frow Captain Champion, who commanded the Melbourne, on which ship it was alleged that certain fayiliarities had taken place witk Major Yelverton. Captain Champion asserts that all these statements are false, and mentions details tending te corroborate bis assertions. It is rather singular, huwever, that so important a witness should never have given a biut of bia existence during the whole six years that bave beea occu- pied by the trial of this case.

which had already arrived and were formed in a belt of woods skirting Berryville and Winchester. As soon as the 19th corps arrived it was formed in four lines of battle about 300 yards apart en the right of the 6th corps, and everything being in readiness the advance was sounded at about 12 o'clock, and the different lines moved forward.

** The 2d corps advanced in splendid style, and just as composedly as though marching at a review or on parade. with drums beating and colors flying, presenting an imposing spectacle.

** The first line had not advanced more than 200 garde bafore it became warmly engaged with the enemy. who were posted in line about 600 yards distant. At the same time our artillery opened a furious cannonade, theawing shells and solid ehot into the oppo- site wood where the enemy could be distinct- ly seen moving up reinforcements.

**Our different lines of battle continued to advance steadily until within nearly 200 yards of the enemy's fire, when the rebels ‘pened a furious cannonade with grape and cannister, from two batteries which they had previously kept secreted, and which played through our advancing lines, mowing down large numbers of our men. The first line was obliged to give way under so murderous a fire, and in retreating behind the second line threw it into momentary confusion, and it also was obliged to fall back behind the third line, whieh bad in the meantime been ordered to lie down in order to avoid as much as possible the effects of the withering fire whieh the enemy was directing against our advancing lines.

+ The artillery was sow brought up and posted in commanding positions to silence those batteries of the enemy which had caused so much annoyance, and our line re- formed and again moved forward, regaining the advanced position which they had held when they were obliged to fall back. But this success was not gained without the most obstinate resistange of the enemy.

‘Gen. Sheridan had previously rode along the lines, and was received everywhere by the men with the greatest enthusiasm.

* Having regained the advance position which we had previousiy occupied, the dif- ferent lines of battle were ordered to lie down and await the arrival of Gen Crook's corps, which was held in reserve on the east- ern side of the Opequan. They were erder- ed up to @ position on the extreme right of our line, in order to counteract a movement on the part of the enemv, who was massing troops on their left flank with @ view of turning our right.

* Precisely at 3c'clock Gen. Crook formed on the right of the 19th corps, his first divi- sion on the extreme right of our line, and his second division in the rear, supporting a di- vision of the 19th corps. General Crook baving formed his men, rode along the lines, and was received with the most vociferous cheering, the men promising to wipe out Winchester.

** Gen. Torbett, with Meritt’s and Averill’s divisions of cayalry, having crossed the Ope- quan about 9 o’cloek at Burns’ and Knox's tords, had been hard at work all day fighting considerable bodies of the enemy's infantry and cavalry, and having been suecessful in steadily driving them before them, now ar- rived on the extreme right and were prepared to take part in the final struggle which se- cured the victory. Gen. Sheridan rode out to whers Gen. Torbett was stationed, and after consultation with him as to what fat the cavalry were to take, ordered the final charge, which was made with an impetuosity which nothing could resist.

** Our line, extending nearly three miles in length, advanced amid cheers and yells which could be distinctly heard far above the noise caused by the thander of artillery and the continuous roar of musketry. Our men had determined to win the day and prepared themeelves accordingly for the coming strug- gle. As our lines advanced cluser and closer to those of the enemy the battle became more and more desperate, and the fierce car- nage will compare favorably with any simi- lar contest of the war.

** The slaughter wae now truly awfal. At every discharge men could be seen dropping all around. The contending linea at some pointe conld not have been more than 200 yards apart. Just at this eritieal period,

above the roar of arti and other sounds \of battle, was heard the gayalr bugle, sounding the charge, which was the death:

CORRESPODENCE. To Tue Epiror oF THE EXAMINER. Dear Sir;

You will much oblige the undersigned by giving publicity to a numerously attended meeting held at the “ Prince of Wales Institute,” at Lot 11.

The subject of debate was given out to be, * Is the Union of the Colonies advisable.” The ques- tion being such an important ene, and so much te do with the future welfare of the country, notices were posted in several places throughout the ad- joining Townships, in order that every person having an interest in the question would come for- ward and express their opmions. However,.on Tuesday, the 27th instant, about the hour of 7 v’clock, they came from the adjoining Townships until the Inetitute was crowded to excess, so anxious were they to discuss and te hear discuss- ed the present important question of a Federal Union.

It was the unanimous voice of the Meeting that Mr. George Jelly would take the Chair. The chairman briefly explained the object of the meeting, when Messrs. Henderson, King, and hilbride spoke at some length on the benefits likely to be conferred by a Federal Union. The arguments of the above named gentlemen were wet by the President of the Institute, Mr. Agus- tine Callahan, in a very able and lengthy speech against a Union of any kind, and showed very conclusively that the ruin of the Colony would never be cousumated until such a Union would take place; supported by Mr. Murphy, Secretary of the Tustitute, and Messrs. P. Murphy, Donald McDonald and the two Messrs. Ramsays, Mr. Goif and Mr. Luke Hughes, all of whom expressed their opinion at considerable length against a

Colonel Gray, Leater of the Government of this Island, where a handsome luncheon was awaiting them. After litvttheon the party drove to town, and then em- barked dgdin, accompanied by the Delegates from this Island; and at about two o'clock the

Soon after the landing of the Delegates, the Go- vernor of Nova Scotia and his Lady landed, and drove to Government House, to pay their respects to our Worthy Lieut. Governor and bis lady. From what has already transpired, through the Newspaper Press, it would appear that, in the es- tiniation of the Delegates from the several Pro- vinces, Who have already been engaged in the dis- cussion of the question here and at Halifax, very high advantages would result from a Uuion of the Culonies, “ provided that the terms of union could be found just to all the contracting parties, and should be so framed as to secure harmony in the future administration of affairs” Yes, provi-

which, before the world, our union would give

as a great Maritime State; and remarks on *“ by the census of 1861, it appears that four years ago the sailors and fishermen of the Six Colonies summed up nut fewer than 69,256." « Setting aside,” he says, * the unapeakable value of such a budy ef men in the defence of the country, the ' commercial returis from their industry must be very great. The exports of Fish alone from the united Provinces amounted to no leas a sum than nearly ten millions of dollars. Ihave been unabig to ascertain with accuracy the number and top. nage of the shipping owned and sailed in British America—but this we do know, that last year ng tewer than 625 vessels were built within our own borders, baving an aggregate tonnage of 230,319 tons.”

Having brought wnder contidemtion these highly gratifying results, the product of twy bratcbes but yet in their infaney, and both eap- able of great extension; the bon. gentleman briefly adverted ty the other branches of our jg"

ded that the compact could be so framed, it would, undoubtedly, be well. But, should it be entered into; and, “in the future,” be found iw have been so framed as to be unjust to any of “the high contracting parties,”’—to ourselves for instance,—not only would the administration of affairs be found to be inharmunious, but an evil— —if not positively permanent, yet one wluch it would be fuund most difficult toremedy—would be inflicted upon those members of the Union upon whom the obligations of the contract should prove to bear unjustly.

“ Ay, there’s the rub; For, through that compact, in whose bonds we lose Our independence and our sep’ rate state, When we have shuflled off the mortal coil, Which Downing Street around our efforts throws, What things may come must give us pause.”

It has been asserted by the Hou. George Brown, that the scheme of the Union, so far as it was developed at the sitting of the Convention in Halifax, had their unanimous approbation; and he has also ventured to predict that, when the facts shall be before the peoples of the several Provin- | ces, the conclusion of the Conference will be cor dially endorsed by them; but, at the same time, he fully aduuts, as we must all be aware, that the ed by the character of the details. Respecting the detuils, the Convention had not, at their last sitting, arrived at any formal conelusion; but, at that consufmation—wisely re-enforced, as on the part of our Government, they have been by the

He spoke of the rapidly inereag. ing importance of our coal mines, our gold fields, vur copper mines, our iron works, our petreleum wells, and of the rising importance of our many- factures; and wound up his recommendation or favourable views of the projected Union by stat ing that, were the Provinces all united to-morrow, they would bave av annual export trade of no leg than $65,000,000, that is about £ 16,250,000 atg., and an Impart traffic to an equal amount — they would have 2,500 miles of railway; telegraph wires extending to every city and town throagh. out the country, and an annual Government re, venue of nearly thirteen millions of dollars, about £5,250.000 stg. “It needs no special wisdom,’ said he, “ to perceive ihat a State presenting such resvurces, and offering such varied and lucrative employment to the immigrant and the capitalist, would at vnce occupy a high position and attract to it the marked attention of other countries. It would be something to be a citizen of such a State. Heretofore we have been known as separ- ate Colonies, and the merits and diwadvantages of
