The Cheston, one lypdred and Rhirty-three days from Rangoon, put into port in distress, with her crew down with the scurvy. She cwas supplied with nineteen men from the Kear- marge, and would sail ina day or two for New ‘York. ‘The bark Mondamin, from Rio, was captured by the Florida off Pernambuco, gbout September 28, and burned. This was the only American vessel captured by the Florida since her departure from ‘Teneriffe. & The following is a brief account of the circum- stances of the capture of the privateer: ‘TheFlorids arrived at Bahia, Bay of San Salva- @or, on the night of the 7th ult. Captain Collins ‘having held a consultation with his officers, de- ‘termined to sink tho Florida in port. Accordingly at about three o'clock tho cables were slipped, and the Wachusett steered for the Florida, hitting her on the quarter, without doing her great injury. Captain Collins now called out to these on board the pirate to surrender or he would siak her. ‘This demand was replied to by the first lieutenant that “under the circumstances he surrendered.” A-bhawser was now made fast, the chain slipped, and the Florida towed to sea. In the melee seve- ral pistol shots were fired, and accidentally, two guns from the Wachusett. Captain Morris aud half the Plorida’s crew were @shore on liberty. No lives were lost, The Florida was taken com- pletely by surprise, seventy of her men it was known being on shore, and the others just returned from liberty were asleep and half intoxicated. The blow given the Florida by the Wachusett carried away the mizzenmast and mainyard, which fell on the awning, preventing any one from getting up from below. So unconscious was the officer of the deck of the intention of the Wachusett’s captain that he Bang out, “You wiil run into us if you don’t take care,” at the same time calling for a light. ‘Twelve officers and fifty-eight of the crew of the Florida were captured.

Commander Napoleon Collins’ was born in the State of Pennayivenia, and was appointed to the navy as a mid- shipman, January 2, 1834, and made his first eruise in the sloop-of-war Natchez, usder Commodore Mervine, in the West India squadron, the following year. Atter compicting bia cruise the West India squad- ron he entered the Nava School at Philadelphia, in 1839, He received his warfant as prssed midship- man the 16th of July, 1840, and was attached to the sloop-of-war Boston, belonging to, the East India sqnadrop, In 1843 we find bim attached to the frigate Constellation as acting master, on her return home from the East India squadron. Arriving bome in 1844, ho was ‘waiting orders until 1842, when he was ordered to the gloop-of-war Decatur, on the coast of Africa, in the meantime having received his promotion as Heutesant, November 6, 1846. He remained on that station untii 1849, when he was grauted a leave of ab- gence on account of {il nealth, We again find him (1651) in active servico as lieutenant on board the steamer Michigan, on Lall® Erie, where be rcmained until April 1853, He was placed in command of the store ship Joon P. Kennedy, on special service in 154, and sent to the East Indies, when Liettenant (lisson relieved him, and he was ordered to the steam frigate Susquehan- na, and returned to the United States in 1855, when he was granted a furlough. Iv 1857 be was ordered as exe- cutive cfiicer tothe navy yary at Mares Island, Califor- nia, then commanded by the illustrious Farragut, In 1857’ he was the executive officer of the sloop-of-war Jobn Adams, in the Pacific squadron, and returned home in her ic December of the following year, In 1859 he was again attached to the steamer Michigan, serving on Lake Erie, In October, 1859, he was detached and placed on waiting orders, and in the foliowing year he was ordered to the sloop-of-war Vandalin, commanded by the presont Admiral S. P. Lee, in the East India squad- ron, ©n the return of the Vandalia from the Fast In- dies, Commander Collins was placed in com- mand of the guoboat Unadilla and ordered to accompany Admiral Dupont in his Port Royal ex- pedition, participating in tbat brilliant fight and handling bis vessel with marked ability, During the winter of 1861 and 1862 he was very actively eu- gaged with the Unadilla, in company with the other gun- boats, in opening the revel ports and sounds onale coast of South Carolina, Georgia ana Florida, under the com- mand of Admiral Dupont. On the 16th of July, 1862, he was promoted t@ bis present rank as fall commander, standivg at present No. 19 on the list. In September, 1862, he was detached from the command of the Una- dilla aud piaced in commund of the Octorara, cruising in the West Indies in search of block- ace runners. Here be was successful in tak- ing , some valuable prizes, and maintaining as sharp a blockade as the cireumstances and the speed of his vessel would permit. ne Ja August, 1863, be was detached from the (ctorara, aud subsoquently ordered to the command of the steam loop Wachusett, on special service, and sont some months since in search of the privateer Fiorida. He has been indefatigable in his exertions to overtake her, and, after a pursuit of months, he flaally found hor ia the port of Babia, Brazil, and effected her capture. hether bis last act will moet the approval of all whose desire it is to observe the neutrality of for- eign nations above all else, we cannot determine; Dut we can say it bas sent a thrill of joy through the breasts of all loyal people, who will ever owe Comman. der Collins a debt of gratitude for ridding the seas of sach a destructive corsair as the Florida bas ever been to our commerce on almost every sea. Captain Collins is about fifty years of age, and has been about thirty years in the naval service, of which over twenty-one he has spent at sea. He is a mag of medium height, and of rather slender form. His eyes and bair are binck, and his complexion dark and swarthy. He is cool, determined and as courageous ag a lion, and ready at all times to assume a responsibility in avy affair he belioves to be right and necessary. He fa just what he be has proved himself to bo—the right man in the right place. THE SLOOP-OF-WAR WACHOSETT. The corvette Wachusett was built in the Charléstown Navy fard, and launched in 1861. Her longth between perpendiculars is 198 feet; breadth of beam, 33, and depth, 16. She is -bark rigged, with topmasts and top- gallant masts inthe same spare, and when not under steam makes good speed. She carries a heavy arma- ment, consisting of two eleven-inch Dablgren pivot gun: two thirty-pounder rifles, aud eight broadside guns, She has beer employed in the James riyer as fingship, in the ‘West Indies, and recently on special service in search of privateers, She ls expected bgre daily with her prize, ‘The following is a list of her officers:— Commander—Napoleon Collins.

THE FLOKIDA., The Florida, formerly called the Oreto, was originally ‘bullt for the Italian government, as was alleged, wae purchased by the rebel agents in Liverpool, and sent to sea in March, 1862, since which time she bas bad an extraordinary career, in depredating on our commerce all over the world, and escaping all the cruisers we have sent in pursuit of her, She is about seven bundrod and fifty tons burthen, sho bas three masis and ‘two smokestacks, and is, when in good order, very fast. Her history is familar “to every one of our readers. She has been the greatest scourge on the ooean, surpassing the career of the Sum- tor, Tallabassee or any other of the rebel privateers in raids on and destruction of our commerce, She was for ‘a long time commanded by the notorious MafMt; but more recently she has been commanded by Captain C, Morrin. fault Morris, at ono time an officer in the United States Navy. ‘The Florida will doubtless be refitted, and sent in soarch of her consorts now committing depredations on our coast. DESCRIPTION OF BAHIA. Bahia, near which the Florida was captured, is a mari- time city of Brazil, on All Saints’ Bay, about cight hun- dred miles north-northeast of Rio Janeiro, The harbor is one of the best in America, accessible to vessels of the grontest draught, and is protected by seven forts, one of which (Fort Saint Marcellus) must have coyered the anchorage of the Florida, It hae been a favorite resort of the privateers, for coal and supplies, and the Florida was doubtiess there for that purpose wheu captured and towed out.

In emergencies of this kind it will bo the duty of the Governors at court aud the Presidents of the provinoes to determine, in viow of the circumstances, tho time at wich the vessel should sail. ¢ privateors, italways being understood that they conduct no prizes, shall not be admitted into the pos of the empire for more than twenty-four hours, except in case of compulsory arrival. (Salvo 0 easo de arribada Joreada.) Prizes to which the circumr of the Ist of August refers are veseels captured by ihe belligerents or by the priva- teers, 80 that the penalty imposed on those who may conduct prizes shall not be applicrble to those who may only be found carrying objects from prizes; but in ao Case wH! such objects be allowed to be disposed of, In conformity with the above mentioned circular, bel- lgerent vessels cannot receive in the ports of the empire anything except such food aud naval stores as they may absolutely need, or to tnke any other measures for the continuation of their voyage, This disposition presup- poses that tho vessel is destined for some given point, and that only on her course and of necessity sho bas to enter @ port of the empire. This provision of the circular will not be carried out, however, if the same vessel shail frequently entor a port, or if, after being provisioned in one port, she shall imene: diately enter another on similar pretences, oxcopt in un- doubted cases of superior force. _ Such frequency of visils, wahout sufficient reason to jus- tify t!, must aulhorize a suspicion tha! the vessel ts not on a laivful voyane, but that she is ernisimy in the adjacent waters of the empire to capture hostile vgsels, ‘The aid and assistance which, , in such & cage. is given to ono of the belligerents must be qualified as aid or favor given against the other, und, therefore, is « violation of our declared neutralily. Consequently it is declared that a vessel which has once entered one of our ports shall not bo recoived in the game port, or in another shortly after having entered the first, to receive food, nayal stores, or for auy other pur- pose, except in cases dify proved of superior force, un- less after a reasonab'e space of time, by which it might be made to appear that the vessel had loft the coasts of the empire, and thas she only returned after completing the voyage she bad wndertaken. ‘ For the same motives as are herein expressed it will not be permitted in any of the ports of this empire that belligerent vessels shail receive goods imported dirgetly for them in ships of any nation; for this would show that tho belligerepts do not seek to use our porta on their voyages and in cases of neceesity unforeseen, but with tho view of remaiuing in proximity to the coasts of the empire, toking in advance the precautions necessary for the prosecution of their entorprises. The toleration of such an abuse would i case to permitting the ports of the empire to be used by the belligerents as a base of operations, ‘The priaciples of the circular of the Ist of August being thus explained. it follows that the ports, bays and hai bors of the err pire will be open to the belligerents on the following conditions: — 1. Ships offwar admitted into observe the most perfect tranquillit with all vessels that may be in port. whether they be war versols or sbips owned as such by their enemies, 2. They sbail not be permitted to increase their crew or employ sailors of any nationality whatover, their own countrymen included. 3. They shall not be permitted to increase the number or the calibre of their artillery; nor, under any citcum- stances, to purchase or embark portable arms or muni- tions of war. 4. They shatl not make use of the ports or harbors, or of the capes on territorial seas of the empire, to wa i mical vessels that may enter or sail from our por’. cure information respecting those that may be exp about to sail; nor shall they be permitied to male sail in chase of any enemy's vecsel that may be in sight or sig- atied. ne They shall not sail immediately after the departure of a vesgel belonging to au tuimical or neutral nation. If the vessel which sails tirst as well as that which proposes to follow be bolh sailing vessels O& steamors, twenty-four hours shall be allowed to elapse between tho departure of the ove and the otber; but if the vessel that sails first be a gailing ship And the other a steamer, the latter shall not leave until seventy-twO hours afterwards 6. During thelr etay in port the belligeronts shall not attempt, by force or stratagen, to retake prisoners mado of their fellow citizens who may be found in the same asylum, or to liberate prisoners of their nation. 7. They shall not be allowed into a nentral port to sell ‘or dispose of prizes made from their enemy until tho fet ng the prize shall be decided by the competent ry x itis to be understood that the infraction of either of these seven conditions will constitute a violation of the neutrality of the empire, subjecting those who infract it to the penalties therein declared. Avd to make our neutrality effective, preventing and He, sr any those abuses which are being practised, the followiag means should be employed: 1. To ascertain, before conceding an asylum} the cha ractor of the vessel and her antecedents in other ports of the empire, so that It may bo decided whether the vessel ‘shall be allowed to onter or remain, and for this purpose all vigilance should bo used. 2. To observe the anchorage where the vessel may be, under the immediate surveillance of tho police, and to wateb for suspicious circumstances and places, 3. To keep a proper guard from tho ontrance to the Bailing of the belligerent over the movements of the vos- sel, and te ascertain the character of all the articles that may bo embarked, 4. To direct the police not to allow the lamding for ealo apy goods taken from prize 6. To prevent them from mi Prizes in the territo- rial waters of the empire, using force if necessary; aud if any prizes be taxen m these imperial waters they will ‘be retaken by the forces of the government and restored to their lawful owners, as no gale of such gouds can be considered legitimate. 6, No belligerent will be admitted into our ports which has once violated the laws of neutrality. 7. To compel every vessel that attempts to violate neu- trality to leave the territorial waters of the empire instantly. S. Finally, to uso force, and {a default of @ sufficiency thereto, to protest solemnly and energetically against the deiligerout, who, being informed and warned, does not desist from a violation of neutrality, ordoring the forts and war versels to fire on the belligerent jwho attacks his eomy on our territory, and on tho armed vescel which attempts to sail before the time defined after the sailing of a verse! belonging to the other belligerent. And ipabmuch as the steamer Alabama, cf the Confede- ra'e States, has openly rioiated the nevtrali'y of our empire, Anfringing the dispostiions of our cirzular of the 1st of Aiugrast, 1861, making the Island of Rita the base of her ‘apsvations for the purpose of carrying prizes there, and sailing thence t@ make others, which she has exused to te burned after keeping them some days in the anchorage ef the said island, his Mayosty tho Emperer has ordained that the said steamer shal; never again be reooived into auy port of the ompire.

Another Plot for the Rele of the Rebel Prisoners on Johnson’s Island. {From the Buffalo Express, Nov. 7, On Saturday afternoon Mayor Fargo received informa- tion from a private source, which he considers wholly trustworthy, that a plot bad been concocted by the traitorous refugees in Canada to sink the revonue cutter Michigan, now stationed at Sandusky, and release the prisoners confined on Jobnson’s Island. Tho exact source of this important disclosure Th do not feel at liberty to name, but the facts jubstantially as follows:— Jamon Bates, a Southerp refugee, purchased of the firm of A.M.

He was watched and watted for, however, and three or four heavy volleys of musketry, delivered in quick succos- gion, checked their advance and sent them ‘whirling’ within their lines.

MEDICAT, AFVAIRS. Itake this early opportunity of correcting a report which appeared in tho despatch from the Kigbteenth corps dated Friday, November 4, It says that in the late fights on this elde of the James, tho hospital arrange. ments of the Eighteenth corps were most complete, every wounded man being i.stantly taken care of, bis wounds dressed at the fleld bospital and himself forwarded to tbe ‘dace, and that the efficiency of the arrangements cannot be more clearly demonstrated than by referring to tho fact that one thousand of tho fTenth corps were accommo. dated at one time. ‘The facts in the caso are simply these. When the moypment across the Jamos was made, there were one thousand eight hundred avd seventy wounded men Drought off the field to tho, Tenth corps flying hospital, four hundred and eighty five belonging to the Eighteenth corps, every one of them being attended to by the Tenth corps surgeons, defore being sent to the bare hospital or to the North. In the late movement of the 27th October, the flying hospital of the Tenth corps was woll up to the front, situated about the centre of the corps. As fast as the wounded were brought off the fleld they were placed in the ambulances and taken to the hospital, where there was in readiness an efficient corps of surgeon:, and their woungs dressed at once, The charge in which so many fol, ob the 27th, was made about dark, and a!l tho wougd- ed, numbering three hundred and eleven, wore brought olf by ten o'clock that night. The fleld hospite! of the Teath corps is most perfect in ah its arrangements, and reflects the greatest credit upon the surgeon in charge, Dr, M.S. Kittengor, of the One Hundredth New York Volunteers, and his corps of assistants, The chief operators of the corps are, M.S, Kittenger, One Hundreat New York Volunteers, tp charge of hospital; C. M. Clark, "Thirty-ninth Illinots Vol- unteers; N. Y. Leet, Soventy-sixth Peunsylvania; Jarvis, Seventh Connecticut. There is a rumor afloat that Dr. Craven, Medical Diree- tor of this corps, is soon to be relioved from duty here and assigned to tho position of Medical Purveyor of the Department of Virginia and North Carolina, with bead. quartors at Fortress Mouroe, Dr. W. R. Conuover, Chief Medical Officer of the Socond division, is spoken of as bis ceesor—an appointment earnestly wished for by the majority of the surgeons of tho corps. THE EIGHTEENTH CORPS.

There has not been for some days past tho slightest indication of » move along onr front. “The ecomy remain quiet and continue improving their works.

MISREPRESENTATIONS, Anumber of powspaper correspondents have so mis- represented the move of this corps on the Williamsbarg road as to convey the impression that the corps sulfered a reverse, This piece of news has been coped by the rebel papers and been a source of considerable gratification to thom, Two brigades are represented to have been annihilated. This statement is entirely unfounded. The move itself was | merely a diversion for strategic purposes.

Veepite all the wars and rumors of wars that have ailicted us for the past three years and a baif, no extea- ive grass Crop ban yet been b&rvested on Broadway ,nor can any very largo umber of ships and steamers be seen rotting at our deserted wharves, On the covtrery, New York was nover more wealthy, prospe light hearted than it appears at the pres pus, prodigal and moment, the Park swarming every afternoon with magniJoent equi- pages, the theatres and opera liberally attended, our Jewelry stores ablaze with costly trifles, avd the great dry goods stores literally unable to supply the comaad for beautiful and expensive fabrics. Bat it i in the up town march of magnificent mansions that we find the most substantial evidence of the pros. rerity of our people. Splendid architectural triumphs are arising aa if by magic all around the Park, 80 that we shall soon have the great pleasure garden of our citi- zens enyiroved by a belt of stately marblo aud brown atone palaces, competent to rival, if not surpass, both in extortor beauty and interval comfort, the grandest family residences of the great old aristocratic houees of Europe, Republican industry will soon take Its place as the sac- cessful rival of England's hereditary wealth, and our city will becemé a worthy cxponent of the superb prosperity which bas made this country, despite the trifling draw- back of the civil war now waging, the envy of all other ations, But it fa not alone in the immediate vicinity of the Park that these improvements are roivg forward; nor is itonly among the commercial classes that sudden for- tunes, enablingthe possessor to indulge every taste and gratify every whim, are being rapidly and silently Accumulated. Many of our successful city politicians from the lower districts of Manhattan Island appear emutons of joining the nomhward progress of luxury and fashion, some of them being now in negotiation for the purchase of oligible sites up town and in Westchester county; while others have already bought the ground for thoir future palaces, and are now up to their ears in efchitectural plans and contracts for briek, marble and raortar, sendalwood, rosewood, mahogany, birdseye maple and black chestant. As an illustration of this latter phase of fashionable progress, we may refee to the case of our excellent city Comptroller, who has receatly purchased the fine ‘Weod- Jawn property,”’ om the Bloomingdale road, obtaining it aw a great bargain, we have beard, for about $70,000—de- cidedly a cheap investment. On this property he has iow nearly completed his plans for ereotingga spa cious and dazzling family mansion, at a cost, for masonry and stonework alone, of about $50,000, With this liberal outlay for the location and framework of his house, and with about $80,000 more to be spent for fin- ishing and furnishing it, our Confptrolier will obtain, doubliess, a residenco worthy the dignity of his position, and one to which we may all point with pride as an evi- dence of how well New York kuows how to reward her faithful and favorite servants. From all we have heard of the plans of the Comptrol- ler’s new house, it will mdeed be a spleutiid specimen of refined and luxurious taste, It will have drawing rooms in tho style of Louis Quatorze—all ormolu, marble, statoary, satins and mirrors; parlors in tho severe but solidiy handsome stylo of the Elizabethan era; brenkfasting, dining, dancing and smoking rooms copied from the latest models of Parisian elegance; together with a epacious library lighted from a stained glass cupola above; a billiard room, provided around the walls with cut velvet sofas, on which the players may recline; long suits of dormitories, bath and dreasing rooms, in which our hospitable Comptroiler will be enabled to make his old friouds bappy; together with extensive outbuildings and garden improvements, embracing stables for twenty horses, servants’ halls aud bedrooms, a bowling alley, aviary, greenhouses, fountains and go forth. This residence, when completed, will bo a landmark in the progress of our ity, and may serve to divert from their intention thousands upon thousands of our young and enterprising men who are now moditating a removal to Colorado, Arizona, Nevada, or some other suppositi- ous gold or silver flelds of the West. It will forcibly cail their attention to the fact that in the field af New York city politics there are ‘pockets’? as productive and “gulehes’? us gorgeously generous as any to be found in the far western sections of our country. No potroleam well, throwing up its two hundred and {ifty barrels per diem, can begin to rival in easy productivencss the re- ceipts of an astate and active city political manager who has been lucky enough to obtain coutrol of the “party machine’ whence city and county nominations are “ground out.’’ This, indeed, is the true gold mive—the true silvor mine—the true petroleam well—she fountain of inexhaustible greenbacks. Let vo young man think of emigrating in search of fortune; but let him rather ap- ply himself vigorously to getting a strong vomination for our Common Council next month; and before mavy yours, like Algerman Terence ‘“arley, he wili be onavled to re- tire to broad estates Mid a stately lodge ia the gracofal repose of our Westchestrian suburb. a ena Another Railroad Accident.
