Our loss was fourteen killed and forty-five wounded, The Peosta and Pawpaw, tin-clads, were the gunboats which participated im the battle, opening fire. simulta neously with the fort on the enemy’s advance into the city, and rendering invaluable service throughout the on- gagement. After being once repulsed in the assault on the fort, Forrest sant a communication to Colonel Hicks, demand- ing the surrender of the fort, troops, and public rtores, promising that if the demand was complied with our troops should be treated as prisoners of war; but if he was com pelled to storm the fort, they might expect no quarter. Coloné! Hicks replied that he wag placed there to de- fend the fort, which he should do, and peremptorily de- clined to surrender. ‘The enemy then made a second and third assault upon the works; but were repulsed each time with heavy losses.

Towards the end of the dattle it was discovered that our ammunition was nearly exhausted, when Col. Hicks ordered that when it gave out the fort wonld be defended with the bayonet as long as a man remained alive, which determination was feceived with hearty cheers by all the troops. The negroes in the fort, two hundred and twonty in all, fought with great gallantry. All was quiet at Paducah yesterday, our forces being engaged io burying the dead. The enemy had six small cannon. About fifty bulidings were burned, including the hos- pital, gas works and some of the finest residences in the town. The Custom House, Post office and Continental were not injured.

ATTEMPT TO BURN THE FREE ACADEMY—THE AC- CUSED COMMITTED TO THE TOMBS, 4C. About three o'clock on the morning of the 7th instant, & dosporate attempt was made to burn the Free Academy, corper of Twenty-third street and Lexington avenue; but fortuvatoly the firo was discovered in time to save the building. It appears that on the morning in question Mrs. Délany, wife of Mr. Joroph Delany, janitor of the Aca- demy, heard some one about the building, and, getting outwf bed, looked about the room; but making no dis- covery of an alarming nature, she retired again. Shortly afterwards Mrs. Delany, who did not go to sleep again, smelled smoke, and arousing her husband, communicated her suspicions. to, him. A search was immediately made, which resulted finding thet a fire bad Deen kindled at - bottom of the board partition which separated a small room ft the furnace. The fre was Tapidly extending upward to the peitteg. and in a few minutes more the floor and beams of the second story would have been in flames.

On making a further examination, the laboratory window was.found open, to reach which the inceudiary must have climbed up the lightning rod. From the fact that Daniel McAvoy, for seven or eight years assistant janitor of the Free Acadomy, but who had been discharged for cause, had made threats against Mr. Delany, he was suspected of attempting to burn the premises, ‘Mr. De- lany communicated his suspicions to Fire Marshal Baker, who forthwith proceeded to make a thorough examina- tion of the matter, Tbe result was that Justice Dowling issued @ warrant for McAvoy, aud Detective Farley took him into custody. The prisoner was employed as driver by tho Harlem Railroad here oe On searching his house in Twenty second street, Detective Farley found a quontity of books, which from time to time had been purloined from two Iterary societies occupying apa: ments in the Academy. The books wore fully identted, grarey, waa taken before Justice Dowling committed to the Tombs for ination, Ex-Judge Stuart, the prisoner's connsel, insista that there is no evidence on which bis cilent can be held for arson; but he admits of some ‘‘irregulerity’’ about the books.
