STATEMENT OF CAPTAIN HARDING, OF THB BARK LAMPLIGHTER. CapQY Herding, of the park Lamplighter, makes the following report:—On the 16th ult., at daylight, in latitude forty-one degrees thirty minutes north, longitudefitty nine degrees seventeen minutes west, wind south, with thick weather, saw a ship standing to the southward, tu half an hour the weather cleared up a jittle, and she altered ber course and stood across our bows with the British fag flying. 1 then made her out to be a steaper. When within a mile he fired @ gun, hauled down the British flxg and ran up the Confederate flag. 1 hove t0,and be sent a boat ou board, demanded my papers and dectared me a prize. We were sent on board the steamer. I was allowed to take one trunk, and my Officers and erew one bag each. Captain Semmes ordered ‘tis fret Neutepant to goon board of the bark and burn ber immediately. 1 begged him to save my ship; but he replied, “I hope to be able to serve you a damned sight worse yet.” They then went on board to burn my ship, 1 was permitted to go with thom, When we went into pho cabin» they: asked’ for“ liquor. 1 gave them si f bad. They drank some, and emptied the remainder op the door.

It jp evident that the Alabama intends a raid upon our coast, if nots dash into one of our harbors. He may keep his promise good and ran into the harbor of New ‘York for the purpose of throwing a few shot or shell into the city. It could be done, and it would not be amiss ‘under any circumstances to be ready for bim should he ‘venture his bead into the lion’s mouth. ‘He may be waiting for the California steamer, for he is not far from their track, and would like nothing better than to fob a coo! million by way of paying expenses. ‘There is no knowing what the rascal may’ be upto. We may expect to hear of almost anything being done by him, and the probabilities are that we sball have to re count almost daily, now that be is on the coast, of vessels being destroyed or bonded, It is his intention, beyond doubt, to make himself and veesel a terror toall merchantmen carrying the flag of the United States; and thus far his career has enabled him to carry out his views most thorougbly. Good for, tune may stop him, however. Our cruisers may find him, and a reward for his head should be offered, as in days of old; for be cannot be considered in any lNigbt but that of a pirate of the fret water. The next few weeks may putan end to bis present business, and it is to be hoped by al! that it will; forit isa shame upon us that this villain is longer permitted to commit his ravages upon the high gers with the greatest impunity.

IMPORTANT CAPTURES. The Anglo-Rebel Steamers Scotia, Anglia and Wachita. DESTRUCTION OF THE STEAMER MINHO. DESCRIPTION OF THE VESB6ELS, THDIR VALUABLE CARGOES Unprofitable Speculations for English Sym- pathizers with Rebeldom, &e., . &o., &e, ‘We gave some of tho particulars yesterday of the cap- ture of the Anglo-retel steamers Scotia and Anglia, with valuable cargoes, off Charleston, by the gunboats Restless: and Flag. ‘The capture and condemnation of the Anglo-rebei steamers Bermuda, Circassian, Stettin, Memphis, Ladona, Adela and many others do not appear to bave bad mueb infuence with those parties in ngland who are desirous of turning an bonest penny by shipping arms and muni- tons of war to Dixie, in inducing them to cease their shipments. They are evidently trying to make up for former losges by a fresh venture, and the consequence is ‘that every day almost brings us accounts of the capture of come fine steamer loaded with arms and army sup- plies, intended for the government of the so-called South” ern confederacy. Thus, during the past week, we have had to record the capture of the Anglo-rebel steamer Wachita by the United States steamer Memphis, aud yesterday of the Fcotia and Anglia by the United States steamer Flag and bark Kest- jess, The running ashore of the steamer Minho by the United States squadron, and her subsequent wreck, aiso form part of the news of the last few days, Thus within the short space of seven days, bave four steamers loaded with cargoes much needed in the South been sum- marily disposed of by our cruisers, and in a manner not at all satisfactory to their owners. ‘The Wochita was captored by the Mempnis after an al\- day chase, and after she had thrown overbeard the great- cr part of her cargo and partially aiebled her engines in ‘ber endeavors to escape. She is reported a fine vessel: and evident!y built for the business in which she was en- gaged when capured. ‘The Scotia is an old blockace runner, but @ compara- tively new and very fine veseel. She is a paddie-wheel steamer of great.speed, and has been very suecessful heretofore in ber voy: between England, Nassau and the bicckaded ports. She has carried mavy arms among her former cargoes, and tbe present one is no doubt made Bp of artists $62 Dajurg. The Magchester Guqrdian of the 23d ult., in eats, Ge — ae os having previously succeeded in tupning the Ddicck- ade into Charleston, stated that ‘she had on board a most ,saluable cargo, consisting principally ef long Enfield rifles, cartridges, bospital stores and mo nitions of war. Three other British steamers— the Leopard, Herald and SMivho—succeeded in running it at the game time... Pwo of them weredaden with wai like stores, We understand that the Scotia, witb her for! midable cargo, was sevt out by several Manchester gen tlemen.”” The'gentiemen from Manchester, having found that the firet voyage of the Scotia proved a profitable one, determined, no doubt, to try, it ones more, ami this time bave had their Singers burned in a manner—vy tho Joss of both vessel and cargo—that will in future induce them to keep away from the fire, and compel them to be- eve our blockade an effective one, The Minho, or S.8, Miho, recently driven ashore atv beached on Suilivan’s Island by the United squadron blockading Charleston harbor, has also been a successful blockade breaker: The first heard of this vessel as being engaged in an illegitimate trade was an account of her serving one of the government coat ves- sels a Yankee trick when on her first voyage with a con- traband cargo. This trick was fully described by the Heray’s Key Weet correspondent, under date of June 18 last, avd we repeat it to show how eyen a Yankee can be at times outwitted, and that, too, by a naturally stupid Englishman:— Ihave one of the best jokes of the season to record The schooner C. 1.. Edwards, Captain Gundy, arrived here to day loaded with.coal. Her captain reports that on the Tith inst., when in latitude 27 dog. north, longitude 76 dog, west he fell in with the British steamer 8. S$. Minho, short coal, and haying burned up all her epare spars and. wood work. She was from Liverpool bound to Nasrau, and Captain Gundy supphed her» ‘h cnongh te carry ber into Nassau, and in payment fo he reggiyed an order on parties in Havana. the sieamers knewn to have loaded an} ope that we are de. fs that a schooner char- steamer carrying arms to the rebels. They certainly will baye the jaugh op us in Nassau when thé Minbo ar rives. It was afterwards learned that the Minho, at tho time she was supplied with the coal, bad been to the coast, Janded her cargo, and was on her way for another load when she ran short of coal. Had she not been supplied the chances are that she would have been fallen in with and captured by one of our cruisers. -Itis but justice to the owners of the Minho or her agents to say that the order-on the parties in Havana for the amount of the coal Dill was premptly paid on presentation. The Mipbo made one or two successful voyages after this affuir; but, as the saying is, “the piteber that goes too often to the wel! is broken at last,” and she has proved the een 2 it by depositing her bones on the sands of Sulfvan’S Island, baving no doubt proved a pro- fitable vessel to ber owners during the time she wat en” gaged ronning the blockade. They can, beyond doubt. well afford to lose her, and will in ail probability have a better one in her place before many menths, which, it is to be hoped, will meet the fate of the Scotia rather than that of the Minho. The Anglia and Wacbita were probably on their fire! voyage, their names never having been heard of belore jm connection with blockade runing. They were from Nassau, having on board coast pilots, who had gone out for the express purpose of bringing (hem safely to ‘the Daven where they would be.” Tho three vessels above referred to will, in al! proba. bility, on their arrival North, be takon by our N y Department and turned into active cruisers. They will make most efficient vessels; for they possess grent speed, are admirably constructed and fitted out, and can readily carry two or three heavy 8. They can be sent to sea at a less cost than the majority of purchased ves: sels now in the service, will out last them and the majority of tho wew gunboats constructed by eon- traetors, and ere in all respects more like mon-of-war.

It Is fair to estimate that in future, with the present number and disposition of our blockading squadron, not ‘one versel in five will be successful in getting into the ports now blockaded, and if Engtishmon will, in the face of this information, contipue the rleky business they are BOW engaged in, they Must not fee! sore to witness their vessels sailing under the glorious old Stars and Stripes, and the cargoes used to benefit the United States govern” menj, by supplying its now enormous army with cloth- ing, Dlankete, arms and munitions of war at & very smal! cost. ‘The government and people of the United States rather hope that the trade will now be continued; for they know the result will be largely im their favor, and will continue to be more so every day. John Bull builds excellent steamers and furnishes first rate goods when he expects to realize large Profits ; consequently all we now take from him is admira: bly suited for the use of tho army and navy, and saves much trouble in purchasing elsewhere and paying con” tractors exorbitant prices for worthless articles. ‘Whig on the subject of captured vessels, it will not be the hands of the Navy Nepartment—the steamers Maguo” lia, Memphis. and Wachita. *The Magnolia was captured by our squadron, whev ronning the blockade of the Mis Siseippi riveagwith ono thousand bales of cotton on bard, She, with her cargo, was sent to New York and sold, the Navy Depariment taking the vessel. She was fitted out ae a cruiser, and on her first passage to Key Weet io join the Eastern Gulf Squadron, chased and captured “he Anglo-rebel steamer Mempbie, loaded with Aifteep Hundsed bales of Sea Islands cotton. The Memphis, with ber cargo, was broughtdo New York, and the Navy Department took her algo, and fitted her at once for ser vice. Omher first cruise she captured the Anglo-rebe) steamer Wachita, with part of a yery valuable cargo, and carried Ber safely into Port Royal. Thus the capture of tho Magnolia, in the first instance, has led to the capture of two other valuable prizes, and may lead to others. Verily it was an unlucky day for rebels and Foglishmen when the Magnolia endeavored to break through the lines of our squadron. FROM M’CLELLAN’S ARMY.

Notwithstanding the statement of the journals, semi? official and unofficial that, at the Council of Ministers held at St. Clond on Friday last, and presided over by the Emperor, the main subject of consideration was the filnan- cial affairs of the empire, it bas leaked out that the Amer can question was also brought upon the tapis,and discussed with a considerable degree of warmth. As I] stated in my jast letter would probably be the case, the Count de Per, siguy, who is Mr. Slidell’s prineipa! backer in the French: government, again presented the claims of his protege, Dut, it is said, without success—the Emperor having over- ruled the portion of the ministry favorable to immediate rq- cognition, by expressing his determination to await the 1st off January aud the issue of President Lincoln’s proclamation. ‘This, of course, is but satside rumor, and 1 give jt for what it 9 worth, at tho eame time belie ng that it is fully im accordance with the pre viounly expressed policy of the Emperor, He knows very well that recognition without iptervention will be steritey and with bis Mexican scheme, not yet wrought out, he js uot prepared as yct to joia England in a war agains’ the United States—in a war the duration and results of which would be so extremely doubtful.

Thouvenel and the ctber members of the ministry. On the contrary, he is, 1 learn, exbiditing unusual industry and energy in the prosecution of bis darling project. 1 was informed yesterday, however, throngh a Southern source, that it was understood tbat. the recall had been decided upon, bu#was held in abey- ance, awaiting the result of events, which simply amount@: to no recall at all. ‘The hopes that the Italian quéstion wos at last to be goon settled by the withdrawal of the French garrison from Rotne do not seem te have any immediate prospe® of realization, It is said that the Emperor has arrived at the conclasion that it is not yet time to interfere with the satu quo, and that notbing will be done for at least siz months to come.
