From the Philadelphia Ledger of October 5. •Itaftd Conflagration! Destruction of more than 47 buildings, and a greater loss of Property than ,has fallen upon Philadelphia by a similar calamity far many years.— with loss of Life. One of the most disastrousconflagratious that ever occurred in Philadelphia, broke out about bale past ten o'clock last night, and raged with unmitigated fury until day light, •in spite of, the ezertiocs of the fire men. The bre commenced in the exten sive four storied store, Ne. 14, South wharves, which extends through and in cludes No. 19 South Water street. This store was occupied by Messrs. David W. P r escott and Wm. J. Stroupas a wholesale .11Th and provision store. The fire had got great headway when it was first discov ered, the whole interior of the first and se cond stories through into Water street be ing in flames. The alarm having been gi ven, some of the fire apparatus were on the spot in an incredible short space of time after, but the dames spread and communi cated to the adjoining store, No. 15 Water street, which stood at the corner of an al ley, and was occupied as a grocery by C. Cheeseborough, and swept through with a rapidity that threatened to destroy all the houses to Front and Chesnut streets. A strong wind was blowing from the north o ver in that direction. The heat had by this time become intense, the fire having communicated to some oil in one of the stores, the flames leaped across the street, and caught to the house on the western side of Water street. The houses on each side ofthe large five storied fire proof store of Cheeny Hickman began to burn, and were soon, in spite of every effort to save them, in a complete blase. The store of Mr. Hickman stood throughout, having re• ceived but little injury. The houses con-1 eumed to the north of this were three 3 sto ried bricks, and occupied ea a tavern by Felix O'Leary, and another by James Da vis, suspender-maker, and the other by Mir flirt, dry goods store. Next to Hickman's store, came No. 41, Thompson & Co.'s Tea Warehouse, which stood the fire for a long time, bat finally yielded, followed by Lahey's tavern, Edgar's tavern, a to. bacconist establishment. kept by John Lloyd, a three-story brick next door, when the flames reached C. Bunting's store, which being fire-proof, was saved, though several times on fire. The part fronting ' , on Water street was occupied by Gaskili & Barnes, tailors. Opposite, on the west side of Front street, the large store next to Ri chards & Bispham's, had the roof destroy ed, and the belief was, that the whole of the, row to the corner would go, but carpets and blankets were laid upon the roof, and kept saturated with water, which saved them. In the meantime the fire had continued down the stores along the south wharves, and the eastern side of Water street to Chesnut. The Fulton Hotel, C. King & Co.'s store. No. 19, Geo. Neale's tavern, Adorn Hinckle's chandlery, Newbold and Ilaveretick's counting-house, in the second story ; Sheller and Bunting's store, and Smith and Johnson's ware-house, at the corner of Chesmitstreet and the wharf, for merly used by the Baltimore Steamboat Company ; the warehouses of H. & White, and John Harding, jr. above the hotel on Water street. The walls cf the buildings along Chesnut street fell with a tremendous crash, and it is reported that five or six persons were injured or killed. We sin cerely hope, however, that this rumor may prove untrue. There were two individuals standing on the roof of a Store oa the wharf to the North of this, when there was a loud crash of falling walls, and one rushed with wild disorder to the edge of the buildings. The cry was immediately that one had fallen beneath the mine, and a thrill of horror ran through the spectators. A ladder was pla ced against the building, and presently we saw an individual lowered out with a rope which was tied Leader his arms, whether he was the one supposed to be lost, we could not ascertai n. At the period of the falling of the wall, on the North side ofChesnut the fire had attained a height that defied all efforts to subdue. it seemed to run across the pavements,and flare up the &des of the houses on the South side. The Steamboat Hotel, a two-story building occupied by Mr. O'Connor, caught and was soon consu med. Altar's Clothing Store on the-oppo site side of Water street followed; neat the building at the Southeast corner of Front and Chesnut, then down Front and Water streets, the destruction continued until it reached Mr. M'llvain's Wine Store. Great fears were entertained lest it would take in the whole block. The shipping be gan to move out from the wharves for safe ty, the goods were hastily removed from a number of the stores. The block north of Chesnut street having been entirely consu med, and the wind blowing still to the south most of the firemen left the burning ruins to • reader assistance to the stores along Waterl and Front streets, south of Chesnut street. Not.vitbstandiog their exertions had been unceasing from the time the fire broke out until five o'clock in the morning, they com menced with renewed energy to prevent the flames reaching Millvain's wine store, and succeeded. The stores and dwellings along Front st. below Chesnut, which were destroyed, were the barber shop at the Smeheast comer, oc cupied by Mr. Gorges, two three-story brick houses next below, and the large four atury store of Mesgeas & ljakart. At the next store, the fire was arrest ed. About this time, (5 'o'clock in • the morning,) another fire broke out in Taylor's alley, caused by the sparks which came from the other fire, and kit in showers a bout the streets, in an old two-story brick building in the occupancy of Mr. Sweet ser, as a commission ware-house, which was gutted. It also communicated to the large brick bedding in which formerly used to be kept a dance. and in which, also, a 'Fliespaan Society had their meetings, the topper story being fitted up- as a theatre.— The upper part °Ohm building was destroy. the llinies were ! I .:NI c.irrry'red. and the engines,-which had left the scene of o perations in Front st. returned again to render .the assistance so much needed in that quarter. Here they struggled with the devouring element until 10 o'clock, A. M. when the fire having been so much sub dued That no further danger was apprehend eft, many.of the companies left the ground. completely wearied out with their extraor dinary exertions. The scene all around during the fire was one of the wildest con fusion—persons hurrying to and lire, geode & furniture piled up along all the streets for squares distant from the fire, the - families that owned the latter sitting shivering by its side, showers of sparks falling around upon the heads of persons and the roofs of houses, many of which caught fire. The roof of Mr. Webb's Store at Second and Dock, caught in this way, but was soon Rx • tinguished, and for many squares, persons wore obliged to be out upon the tops of their 'roofs, large flakes of fire having been car ried by the wind down below South street. The wall of the building at the South-east corner of Chesnut and Front streets fell a• bout 9 o'clock, and, it is said, buried a num ber of persons ; one, a member of the Good Will engine, was killed instantly, his face horribly lacerated. Several others were seriously injured during the night, by fur niture being thrown upon them. A young man, named Timmins, had his face and hands badly burned, in attempting to save the books of Mr. Prescott. Wo expect that many more accidents will become known to us as soon as the confusion abates. Tho firemen have done nobly, risking their lives, and working incessantly for the of their fellow-citizens. The name of the Good Will member killed was William Moreland, and wo learn that ho had been married but about three weeks. A member of the Weccacoe engine, na• med Robert Reynolds, was seriously injur ed internally, by a bale of cotton which had been thrown from the window of an upper story. Charles Herman, another member of the same company, was also injured in the same way, and is now lying unable to move. This morning, a view of the spot of last night's occurrences presents a scene of de. solution seldom witnes.ed. The bare and ruined Nails are tottering to their fall ; goods of all descriptions are piled prornis• cuously upon the wharves. The whole po lice force of the city, with the Mayor, is there protecting the property from spoilers. The amount destroyed it is impossible to es timate, though the less must be very great it.ideed. The number of houses destroyed is estimated at between 40 and 50, some of them the finest stores in the city. The following, in addition to those al ready mentioned, have been destroyed : White & Stevan's store, No. 21 Front st. Drayman's, and the Mechanics' Tavern. There are, perhaps, some which have es caped our notice, from nothing remaining of them but a heap of ruins. From the Westield Spectator. GREAT EXPLOSION!! Three Powder Mlle blown up!!! One Dwelling House—One Barn, and two out buildings blown to atoms!! And strange to say, no lives lost!!! On Monday morning last, at about half past ten o'clock, the Powder M ills belonging to Messrs. Foot & Gillet, standing about two miles west of this village, were blown up. There were distinct explosions at in. tervals of twenty or thirty - seconds. The first was. the Cylinder Mill, which was a short time before put in operation; and the workmen had left but five minutes previous —and who were at the time working in the Corning Mill, about five rods distant,— and which blew up within thirty seconds, giving the men barely time to leave the Mill, and throw themselves into the brush within twenty feet of it. And strange as It may appear, they e'caped slightly injured—one without a mark of injury except from being blacked by the powder ; the other received a billet of wood in his breast. They had scarcely arose from their hi ding place, than the packing house, which contained four or five hundred barrels of powder exploded, prostrating them again; and leaving not a vestige to mark the spot on which it stood. The ground for several feet around was swept clear of every thing. A dwelling house standing near it was un roofed—two sides were blown in, tst, not even a joist left standing, the walls being shaken from them. The partitions broken to pie ces, feather beds were "shook up," and not a person, of the six or 'seven in the' house ,injured. The concussion was so great brat build. tugs in the village received considerable injury from it. One building at least a mile and a half from the mills, had twenty or thirty lights broken out, and another had a window totally demolished, the casing being carried across the room. About ten thousand pounds of powder ready for sale and nearly the same quantity manufactu ring, was burnt. We have found the following in the poi umns of a Van Buren newspaper. • It id the most appropriate thing we have seen published in these 'honest, truth loving, sheets for a long time : 'Common sense,' if possible, in our next. 'Christianity' must be deferred for more temporary matter. 'Scandal' has already appeared in a for mer number. 'Truth' is inadmissible. 'Honesty' would be unintelligible - to ma• ny of our readers. We know nothing of 'Good. Manners,' therefore the writer must be mistaken in his conjectures. 'Scurrility' may depend upon being in serted in the eourse of a short time. 'Decency.' must be altered" to make it fi for our columns. 'A patriot' is at present rather out o 'An honest lawyer,' with other originals, in a day or two. 'Mniter of fact' does not come within the ei rot, t t:Pw9pnper intco.ll2cnco. From the New• York L'xprees FROM THE WEST INDIES. By the Susquehanna, from Jamaica, we have files of paper; to Sept. 10th. Sir Lionel Smith had not left, but ex. pected to return home in the next pocket. Sir Charles Metcalf, th© new Governor, %vas expected shortly. Major General Gumm was appointed commander of the :ernes of ihe island. The 513th Regiment vas soon to leave for Canada, and the 81st, from Gibraltar, was to take its place. In a reply of Sir Lionel Smith, the Ex- Governor, to a letter from the Ministers of the Baptist Western Union, regretting his departure; we find the following, which, however, is to be credited with caution, in asmuch as Sir Lionel has been bittelly at tacked fir his partiality for the missionaries and the negroes, and therefbre is probably disposed to be sanguine in his impressions of the success of the experiment : '.Gentlemen, the first year of general freedom has passed away. What were the forebodings of its enemies? Where Oro the vagrants I—where the squatters?— where the injuries against propel ties, or the persons of white men ? Out of 300,000 oppressed slaves, let loose in one day, to E qual Rights and Liberty, not a human be tug of that mass has committed himself in any of those dreaded offences. The admirable conduct of the peasantry in such a crisis, has constituted a proud tri umph to the cause of Religion ; and those who contributed to enlighten them in their moral duties, through persecutions, insults and dangers, have deserved the regard and esteem of -the good and the just in all Chris• tian countries. The people of England !lave a right to demand, and will insist, that the liberty of the negroes, purchased by them, at such a heavy cost, should be perfectly secured to them, and much remains to be done for them. You may feel assured, however, that the same power which achieved such a glorious national honor as the destruction of Slavery in nil its appendencies, will ulti mately put down the bad laws, and petty tyrannies, by which the peasantry are still harrassed and oppressed. A great change is, indeed, in progress, by which unprejudiced men are coming in• to the management of properties, and it cannot be long before absentees will extri nte themselves from their present unlucky delusion, and discover that the salvation of their estates must depend on the employ ment of agents, who will not defraud the la borers of their wages, or impose exhorbitant rents. Men, elated with the recent pos• session of freedom, aro not likely to work cheerfully under such injurious treatment." Earthqualas.—Aug. 2.—An alarming shock was felt in Barbadoes. July 30th, there was a slight shock at Saint Christo pher. • Aug. 2d, an earthquake was felt at Grenada. July 29, a smart shock was felt at Saint Lucia. A terrible shock was felt at Martinique Aug. 2. From the Martinique Mercury. We have heard from Port Royal that many walls had fallen. The roof and part of n house in Grand Rue fell and wounded two workmen ; another man, who was en deavoring to fly from the danger, was also hurt. Behold in the short space of six months two earthquakes, the violence of which woro never before known in this co lony ! Without endeavoring to seek into the cause, we will confine ourselves by sta ting, that since the earthquake of 11th Jan uary, a continual drought has reigned, the winds almost constantly blowing trom the south. During the last fifteen days it has been very dry, and the wind from the south east high, and, notwithstanding, the tempe rature of the atmosphere has been very hot. The two last nights were calm, with a suf focating heat. Immediately after the earthquake the rain began, and continued to fall—the sky is clouded, and we isuffer an almost insupportable heat. An Aerial Chase Well Described.—lt is seldom that the denizens of a city have an opportunity of seeing as interesting a sight as was witnessed by several gentle-. men from Ferry Bar on Sunday morning week. A large Bald Eagle wasseen skim ming the air, and floating up the river on a foraging expedition, for the replenish ment of his royal larder ; but apparently finding no quarry worthy a stoop, he soar ed away, and was lost to the sight in the clouds- A short time after, a fish-hawk ap peared, and squinting with a knowing glance across the broad sheet of water, pounced upon a fine fat fish, and mounting, prepared to return to his nest up the south branch. He had not flown far before he put about, and steeling in the wind's eye, sailed down towards the bay with all the swiftness his powers could compass. Pre sently a dark speck was seen a mile or two in his wake, and soon the royal bird was discovered darting after his prey, his tail stuck a-peak, and his wings compressed, flapping with n rapidity that sent bun along with the swiftness of an arrow from the bow of Robin Hood. The hawk knew his pursuer, and practised a ruse by darting up wards when about a mile this side of the fort. The eagle darted under him, and ri sing apparently perpendicularly a few feet above the hawk, gave him a flap •vith one of his wings, which caused him to drop the fish, and the royal pirate, dropping from his airy height, caught the fish before it reached the water, and skimmed atrium pliant, leaving the poor hawk to seek his• breakfast where he best might find it. It is thus with mankind. We see a petty prince plundering his neighbor, until a ,more powerful one, like the eagle with the hawk, robs him in turn, and reaps the re ward of his tyranny.—Balt. Sun.

'ruo following article, we issued in on extra, ~On ednesday morning last, directly after know lag be result in this county and previons to hear ing em any other part of the State. The election in this county has resulted as a_ aunt at ordinary elections. Tho vote for Profit!). ' notary was not conducted upon party grounds, -some of the strangest anti-masonic districts giv ing Danner a largo majority ; Menallon, for ex 'areple, gave him 00 majority, where our ticket was largely ahead ; and the borough district gave him ataajerity, whilo the regular anti-masonic ticket was more than 100 ahead ; so of others.— 'This irregular voting greatly embarrassed the -whole ticket, as it did three years ago, whom we .wero defeated. Wo do not intend to find fault, but we cannot help regretting •that our friends should so inconsiderately bring reproach upon their principles. What wo most complain of, is the conduct of about 30 of our party in the bor ough, who raoresszn to the last, and stilido, to have voted for Mr. Magi*, and yet they areal. have supported Danner, or some foul fraud has - been practised upon them. Two years ago, When tho Loco tacos could riot account for the loss of twenty pledged 'votes, they got their one hundred and four men to awriAn that they voted -according to promise. Now our thirty _wande rers are ready to certify that thoy voted the iiirotx. ticket. This shows tho folly of trusting to the !statements of "%FABLED!. Those of our party Who wont openly for Danner aro entitled to the credit of sincerity as a palliation of their desertion of political principles ; but thoso who PROFESSED to oppose him, and secretly supported him, have added to the sin of political and moral dishonesty, the detestable vice of hypocrisy. Wo allude to 'no individual. 'rho conscience of this delinquent will tell him plainly enough, taloa art the man." • The election is now over, and we publish the opinion of its results which we had formed and written ,eforo it took plado. We have no doubt that the cause of the people has boon disastrous throughout the State. The unfortunate—we should rather say, the wicked conductor a portion of the Anti-masonic and Whig Senators last win ter, gave success to a foul rebellion, and thereby strengthened the arms of the insurgents to Krebs degree that they could not be withstood by peace able and lawful means. Successful rebels are always more powerful than orderly citizens. Had they been unsuccessful, they would have been prostrated with the whole party. It cannot be denied that wo were must unfortunate with ma. ny of our Senators. Beside those who actually deserted, wa had ethers on whom no reliance could be placed. Pearson, of Mercer, for instance, was true only so low as selfishness was on the side of fidelity. Bat beside these causes of present defeat, the enemy have the command of the public works, and will throw a sufficient force into all the doubtful districts to carry them. Wo doubt not that tho Chester, Delaware and Montgomery dis trict will thus be carried, and the majority in the 'Senate giineu„to,the agrarians. So the Union and Philatiorphiii districts will be stocked ; and Hun tingdon and Dauphin counties put in jeopardy. Wo wish- our predictions may prove erroneous, but we have no hope. Wo expect to see this na tion under despotic rule before the people will e voke to their true interests. litstheran Synod. Tho Lutheran Synod of Wost Pennsylvania convened in session in York on Monday of last week.—The Rev. 13. ICELLEn, of this place, pre_ sided over its deliberations, and the Rev. C.Wayr., of this county, acted as Secretary: The Ilepubli. can informs ns that thew aro more than forty cler e7pcn, together with nearly an equal number of • joy . lelcgatos, in attendance on the sessions of this Ecclesiastical Court of the most -numerous denomination of German christians in the United §tates. The pulpits of nearly all the chtfiches in town were filled on Sabbath last by the members of Synod, - which includes a number of learned anAl• eloquen t preachers in both the German and .English languages, which are equally used in the transaction of its business. We are not informed tliffrly exciting unwell; will demand the atten. lit this body at its present meeting. it The London Correspondent of the New ork Express writes from the former city that r. J Ltruirg, agent in London for the U. States ank of Pennsylvania, has secured a loan for that Tnatitution from Messrs. Hopis !Sc. Co. of nearly Tois Millions of Dollars. The Bank of Amster dam, it it stated, is a party to this arrangement.. ''fin: Goon CAUSE NoseEng.—Almost every mail brings us intolligonce of some new move. moults in favor of Gen. Harrison. In two months from this time, tho whole of Now England will have:declared in his favor. In Massachusetts, N. Ilampshire,Connecticut and If. Island, the feeling is rapidly developing itself. The last declaration we have rocoived is front Vermont. The State Journal, published at Montpelier, has hoisted the Harrison flag, and declares that the opinions in that Stato aro fast settling down upon the convic tion that the "PEOPLE'S CANDIDATE:" is the only ono upon which the opposition to Mr. Van Boron can concentrate with any hope of sitcom. liar• rison moo of Now York will you any longer Ito• sitar) 7 Or shall we havo prompt and efficient action 7 Yuur opponents are busy." 'rho foregoing is from the "Albany Daily Sun,' a paper which is understood to speak the sentt meats of the wisest and most influential politi cians of the Dmpire State. Wo have no doubt it is a fact, that New England, as well as a majority of the Whig States of the Union, "are fast settling down upon the conviction that Gen. Mann mat" is the most popular candidate of the Whig party. . But era bona To what good pur pose is this tardy conviction I For own part we feel almost inclined to see the Whigs carry out their, policy and norninate llnnar CLAY. They have prossed him forward until his unpopularity, has broken down the Whig party ; we think it would be but right that ho should now take the responsibility and ignominy of defeat. It is true, wo believe, even at this late date, that the substitution of the name of Gen. Harri son for that of Henry Clay, ()Alto has so unwisely and pertinaciously pressed himself upon the Whig party, in his anxiety for an .honorable discharge,') would bring back to the Whig ranks the States of Ohio, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Maryland and New Jersey ; but there would be no longer a certainly of victory oven if wo fought under the banner of the veteran Soldier and Sage of the West. However, let us "hang his banner on the outward wall," make a deterininod tally under it and peradventure we may yet save the country from the grasp of the loco focus. Our Country is a glorious one, and worth the patriot's best ef forts. With Harrison for our leader, and his name for our watchword, let us forward to its res cue. At a county meeting of the friends of the Uni on and Harmony of all the opponents of Martin Van Buren hold on Monday evening the 2d of October at the house of A. 13. Kurtz in the Bor ough of Gettysburg, Col. M. C. Clarkeon. David Middlocoff, and R. F. M'Conaugby, Fag's., were appointed conforres to meet the conferees from Franklin, for purposes connected with the nomi nation of a candidate for the Presidency by the National Convention. oz,The October No. of the "Lady's Book" has been received, and is one of the very best num bers over issued. It contains a number of well written tales, together with a variety of other ar ticles, %yell worthy a perusal, and is embellished with several handsome engravings. Wo ore glad to learn that tho enterprising proprietor, Louis A. Qodey, Esq. has secured the services of Mrs. L. H. Sigournoy—well known as ono of the best writers of our country— to assist Mrs. Halo in the editing of the Book. Wo will he happy to send on the names of any of our fair readers, who may be anxious to subscribe fur this excellent work. SUSPENSION OF SPECIE P•TNENTS.,-WO rO• VA to learn that the Banks of Philadelphia and Baltimore, on Wednesday last, suspended specie . payments, and of course, the country banks have been compelled to follow in their wake. We understand, hovirever, that the Gettysburg Bank still continues to pay out specie for its $5 notes.— This is right, as it will enable us to get along without that worthless trash called Shin-Flusters. '.We hope to be cuabled next week, to give correct returns from all the counties in this State. As far as heard from, the Locofocos have a gain of 8 members of the Legislature. j-It is rumored that the famous arithmetician, Mr. Lovi Woodbury, Secretary of the Treasury Department, will shortly resign his seat in the Cabinet. •--“e 50..- o:3•United States Bank Stock was selling in New-York on Wednesday last at $93 per share.

Rano, of the wreck during the gale of 13th September, of the brig Cadwallader, Murray, of St. Andrews. The vessel as we learn from the New York Whig. was knocked down, filled, and went to pieces.— Capt. Murray and five others clung to the keel, with part of the stern and stem, which was the largest part of the wreck left, where they remain ed five days, the sea making a continual breach over them, without any thing to eat or drink; when taken off they were nearly exhausted and could not have lasted another day; some of them were delirious and their clothes nearly all washed from their backs; but by the kind attention of Capt. Rallo, who supplied them with clothes and every thing that ho could to make them comforta ble, they have ell reCovere'l. Since they have been on board the F. their skins have all come off from being so long washed by the sea. SICKNESS •T TUE SOUTII.....The yellow fever is on the increase at. Natchez. The banks have resolved to remove their offices to tho suburbs of the town. The Adams county Criminal Court adjourned, in consequence of the prevailing epi demic, without transacting any business. Wu. F. STAUNTON, one of the proprietors of the Free Trader, died on the 221 ult. Tho Mobile Adver tiser of the 25th ult. says, that no abatement of the epidemic isyet manifest, although the number of deaths the present week has not been so groat as the week previous; still, in proportion to the number of inhabitants the mortality is as largo as at any time this season. Tho number of deaths for the past week has been 80, and for the month of September, up to last night, :329. A frightful mortality, indeed ! The establishment of the tt Western Empori um," published in the town of Allegheny, oppo site Pittsburg, is offered for sale. It is the only paper printed in the borough, and receives a very liberal support, from the enterprising citizens of the place, the population of which, we believe amounts to thirteen thetwand, Huzza for the Jersey Blurs! It gives us great pleasure in being able to in form our rcadtrs that the friends of the Constitu tion end Laws, in New Jersey, achieved a glori ous victory nt the election held in that State on Tuesday and Wednesday last. The Council will stand nest winter, 10 NVhigs to 7 Loco Fo uls ; Aqsembly, 33 Whip to 20 Loco Pocos__ giving the Whigs a m tjority of 16 on joint ballot, sufficient, as the Loco Foco papers say, "for all useful purposes." Temperance in S. Carolina We learn from some of our exchanges that a proposition has been started in the above named State, for the enactment of a law prohibiting li quors being sold in less quantities than twenty gallons. Tho proposition is producing a good deal of discussion and excitement, and one of the leading men of that State, Mr. Rurrr, a member of 'Congress proposes a different mode of accom plishing the end in view. Instead of a twenty gallon law, he suggests that a tax be laid, of snob en amount as to work a total prohibition of the sale of ardent spirits. This tax, or rather the law imposing it, to be submitted to the people of each district, and to be binding on those districts only in which a majority of the people vote for it. elnother Slaver Captured The schooner Catharine, Cam. Dundas, of Baltimore, was brought into New-York last week, a prize to 11. B. M. brig Dolphin. The Journal of Commerce says, that she was seized on a charge •f being engaged in the slave trade, and is brought to this country out of respect to the American Government, instead of being ad judicated upon at Sierra Leone, as she would have been if belonging to any nation with which the British Government has a treaty for the suppres sion of the slave trade. Fourof the original crew of the Catharine are on board. The remainder, about thirty. were discharged on the coast. We understand she has an American register on board, and is said to be owned in Baltimore. She was fitted out at Havanna, whets she took up her cargo. 1 3:17tre learn from the Richmond Ccmpi!er, that the boiler of a steam engine on the Peters burg and Gaston Rail Road, exploded on Tues day last, whereby Mr. Samuel Bates a deserving engineer on the road, was killed. The train was about moving otT, & Mr. B. in discharge of his du ty was su perintending the same. This we believe, is the first accident of the kind, that has occurred in this country. Destructive Fire in .41 'York. New-York, we regret to find, has, like Phila delphia, been visited with a very destructive tire. It occurred at au early hour on tquirlay morning, and destroyed between thirty and forty vvarehott ses, stores, &c. before it was extinguished. An extra from the Herald, furnishes the following airticulars : Ncw•YortK,Oct. 6. DESTRUCTIVE CONFLAGRATION. OVER THIRTY BUILDINGS DE. STROY ED.—LOSS ESTIMATED AT UPWARDS OF $1,000,000 ! This morning, about 1 o'clock, a fire broke out in the fur store of Messrs. S. D. Hulsey and Co., No. 1 , =9 Water street, which destroyed over thirty buildings.— There was a fresh wind blowing at the time, and the destructive element swept through Water street, Burling slip and Front street and Fletcher street, and threat- coed nt one time to burn every building from Water street to the East River, taking in the blocks on Hurling slip, Front and South streets. Towards morning, howev er, the firemen, by great exertions, got the master-hand, and by 7 o'clock, had stopped the firo from spreading any further than it did. The U. States Hotel, lately Molt's, a marble building, seven stories high, was in imminent danger, it having• taken fire in he gutters, and on the dome twice, but was The entire block bordering on Water, Fulton and Front streets, and on Burling Slip, was,with the exception of three or four buildings, destroyed. Fire at Brooklyn.—A planing mill, and several small buildings adjoining, situate on Front street, Brooklin, were also destroyed by fire on Saturday night. The Now York correspondent of the Philadel phis li. S. Gazotte,says respecting the fire in Wa to street:— Any estimate of the amount of loss sib [tined must, I think, be very vague, but ful y one million is spoken of, a large prop(); tion of which was insured. The stock of goods in Mr. Haight's Silk Store, 170 Wa ter street, which was totally consumed,was estimated at $260,000. The stock of Fars in Mr. Halsey's store was valued at $150,- 000. The New York correspondent of the Inquirer writes— There were several other fires in our city and vicinity during the last twenty-four hours—one it is said in 14th street, one in Cherry street near Pike, and one at Bloom ingdale, about five miles from the City Hall. There was also, 1 am informed, a fire at Jersey City,but do not know what damage was done in either of the cases. From the Philadelphia Ledger. PENNSYLVANIA COLLEGE. Philadelphia has always been famed for the excellence of its medical schools. Ma ny of the most distinguished practitioners in all parts of the United States have recei ved their education here, and the hundreds of young men who annually visit our city from the north and the south, and the east and the west, to attend the various courses of lectures, show that our. reputation, in this respect, has been in no degree diminished. Indeed, so far from this, it has been steadi ly on the increase, and now, instead of a single school, we have three, two of which, the University of Pennsylvania and the Jefferson College have been, and continue to be, most liberally patronised. The third, the medical department of the Pennsylvania College, is just about to commence its ope rations, and, as will be seen, under the most favorable'auspices. The Pennsylvania College derives ita power to establish a medical department from a charter granted by the legislature of the Commonwealth. The parent institu tion is located at Gettysburg, in this Shitc. mid mijaying a deservedly high reputation as a scat of learning. The medical depart. ment Is situated on Filbeit street above E. !event!' street, in this city, and will be en tirely under the control of the medical lac• ulty, an arrangement, which, it is thought, will be highly benefical to its interests. The rofessors in this institution arc all gentlemen of high rank in their professions. Dr. Morton, the professor of Anatomy and Physiology, has devoted himself to these branches of Medical science with unusual zeal and success, and both as a writer and lecturer possessns ample qualifications.— Dr. George M'Clellan, who has the chair of Surgery, is universally admitted to be one of the ablest and most skilful Surgeons of the time, and his numerous successful o perations have gained him a reputation as wide as it is brilliant. As a lecturer, he is distinguished by the terseness of his style, and the force of his illustrations. Dr. Rush is a son of the late Dr. Benjamin Rush, and he has cultivated the profession which his father so eminently adorned, with .an in dustry that has already secured him an am ple fruition aflame. Dr. Collioun, the pro fessor of Materia Medica nod Pharmacy, is familiarly know as a profound student in the branches which he is to teach, and as a sound and able lecturer. Dr. Samuel Mc- Clellan, who has the Obstetrical Chair, is also distinguished by his acquirements and abilities. Of Professor Johnson's capacity for the duties he is to perform none need be Informed, as they are familiar to the whole country ; and altogether, the faculty is such as will do abundant justice to the students who may commit themselves to their care, and add, we feel confident, now honors to the city in winch they exercise their pow ers. The terms of admission and graduation, and the facilities aff,mdcd to students will be seen in the card. The alidical Department of Pennsylvania College, Philadelphia.

Three years' study in the office of a re spectable practitioner, and an attendance en two full courses of lectures, one of which must be in this Institution, are the requi• sites which entitle the pupil to become a candidate for graduation. The fee for admission to each course is fifteen dollars—for graduation, twenty-five dollars. The Students of this College have access to the l3lockley and Pennsylvania Hospitals, on the same terms as other Students of Medicine attending medical lectures in Phi ladelphia. Ample opportunities will be afforded for instruction in Practical Anatomy. The Lectures will commence in this In stitution on Monday the 4th of November next, in the new College Edifice, in Filbert street, above Eleventh street. S. COLEIOUN, Dean of the Medical Faculty.

Oct. 14. Persons desirous of planting next year will do well to secure their stock early in the seasons. The average prices last Oc tober, at auction, were tower than they have been, thus far, this season; whilst du ring the winter and spring, the prices were very high. The stock oftrees now in mar• kot is rapidly passing off to the west and south, and the probability is that trees will again be high and scarce this winter.— Physic's sale, amounting to upwards of 881,000, and more recently, Prince's; of New-York, amounting to 658,000, with many others, prove that there is a great and growing demand for the tree. The profits of silk growing, are becom ing extensively known ; and the whole country will soon perceive the importance of . making its own silk at least. When we consider the limited quantity of the genuine Morns Multicaulis, in the country, and look at the vast extent of country to be supplied with the tree, we cannot but conclude that the demand for trees must continue for sev eral years to come; and should they be worth but 10 cls. per tree next year, 81,- 000 per acre profit may be realized.
