A late number of Blackwood. on Mrs. Hemans contains some very interesting particulars of her private history. The following is au extract: "Not long after the first publication of her po ems, the next great event of her life took place— her introduttion to Capt. Hemans. 'The young poetess was then only fifteen; in the fall glow of that radiant beauty which was destined to fade so early. The mantling bloom of her cheeks was ithaded by a profusion of natural ringlets of a'rich, golden brown; and the ever-varying expression 01 hes.brilliant eyes, gave a changeful' play to her countenance, which would have made it impossi ble for any painter to do justice . to it.' No' won.. der that so fair a creature should excite the admi ration of a g allant captain. And the love on both sides was ardent and sincere; for Captain He mans, soon after their introduction, was called up on to embark with his regiment for Spain. On his return in 1812, they were married. Of their domestic happiness or unhappiness, nothing is said, but sixryears after, in 1818, we are simply told that the Captain went to Rome and never re turned. The separated pair never met again. "To dwell on this subject,' says her biographer, 'would be unnecessarily painful; yet it must be said, nothing like a permanent separation was con .' templated at the time, nor did it ever amount to more than a tacit conventional arrangement which offered no obstacle to the frequent interchange of correspondence, nor to a constant reference to their father in all things , relating to the disposal of her boys.. Bat years rolled on—seventeen years of absence, and consequently alienation; andfrom this tirne..to the hour of her death, Mrs. Hemans and her husband never met again:' Prom the Yankee Blade The Elea for the Times.

Who i• thl• Fair Lady I A late number of the Horticulturist contains the following sketch of a paragon, Her residence is not intimated, but we suppose it to be in the neighboring county of Livingston: "In the midst of the richest agricultural region of the Northern States lives a lady—mistress of herself, of some thousands of acres of the finest land, and a mansion which is almost the ideal of taste and refinement. Very well. Does this lady • sit in her drawing room all day to receive her vis itors? By no means. You will find her in the - morning either on horseback or driving a light carriage with a pair of spirited steeds. She sees every corner of the estate'; she visits her tenants, examines the crops, projects improvements, directs, repairs, and is thoroughly mistress of her whole demesne. Her mansion opens into the most exqui site garden of flowers and fruits, every one of which she knows by heart. And yet this lady, so energetic and spirited in her enjoyments and man agement in out door matters, is in the drawing room the most gentle, the most retiring, the most fond of her sex." People of a. Moderate Fortune. If you are about to furnish a house, do not spend all your money, lie it much or little. Do not let the beauty of this thing, and the cheapness of that tempt you to buy unnecessary articles. Dr Frank, lira's maxim was a wise one—" Nothing is cheap which you do not want." Buy merely what is absolutely necessary, and . let experience of your wants and your means dic tate which shall be afterwards obtained. If you upend all at first, you will fmd you have bought many things you do not want, and omitted many you do want. Begin cautiously. As riches in• crease, increase in hospitallity and splendor; but it is always painful and inconvenient to decrease. After all, these things are viewed in their prop. er light by the judicious and respectable. Neat ness, tastefulness, and , good sense, may be shown in the management of a small household, and the arrangement of a little furnitute, as well as upon a large scale. The consideration of living beyond one's income is not actually worth the trouble it costs. The glare there is about such false, wick• . ed parade, is deceptive; it does not, in fact, procure valuable friends or extensive influence. More than that, it is wrong, morally wrong, so far as the in. dividual is concerned; and injurious beyond cal culation to tbe • inerest of our country. To what are the increasing beggary and discouraged exer tions of the present day owing!

We publish to-day, from the Daily Union, a full and minute account of the great Fire in St. Louis, which will doubtless prove more interesting than the description sent us by telegraph. The Editors of the Union, in another part of their paper, say : "No pen can depict the desolate ruin this morning presented on the levee, and on the path trodden by this awful destroyer. Nothing like it can be ima gined, and the whole population are in consterna tion and dismay at the distant scone. A meeting is called by the Mayor for this evening to consider what is most necessary to be done for our popula tion in this emergency. Thousands are homeless ---homeless--penniless I and demand, by the com mon ties of humanity, immediate aid.

Evans moved that the Delegates be instructed to support A. L. Wilcox, of Elk, for Canal Commis eioner ; and Wm. M. Barron moved that he be in structed to support John A. Gamble, of Lycoming. The Convention then proceeded to ballot, the ye nango delegation voting for Wilcox, and the Craw ford for Mr. Gamble, for several ballotings, without any choice. The name of Mr. Gamble was then withdrawn, and that of Asa Dimoct substituted, on motion of James McFadden. After several ineffec lust ballotings, Messrs. MrClelland, of Venango, Deric,laton, McFadden, Barron, Brooks and Porter, of Crawford, voted for Mr. Dimock ; and Messrs. Lamberton, Evans, Riddle and Connelly, of Venan go, for Mr. Wilcox. The Convention then unanimously concurred in the instructions for Asa Dimock „ of Susquehanna county. Island of Cub• As the project to annex Cuba to the United States is warmly advocated by many Statesmen and public journals, a brief view of the island will not be on acceptible to our readers. The Wand contains 3500 superficial leagues of land, only two-fiftbs 'of which are cultivated. Of the remaining three-fifths now used one is probably valueless, leaving one-half of its agricultural resources developed. It has twelve cities, ten towns, one hundred and eight Tillages, and nioetysit hamlets. In 1541 the population was, ex clusive of soldiers and resident foreigners, 1,007,- 624; but a more recent census has shown no In crease of about 300,000.

PARTICIIIIIB OF TRH Glig&T LOUIS' FIR& (' [From the Doily Voion, Noy lath] From Utz Reeninei fictitOrt. Tremendous Cortflogration—Twenty-TAree Siam. boats Darned—Seeerai Sesiares in -fart —Loss of LlP—Five Miiiittna of Property Dratreyed. About ten o'clock, last night, the steamer White Cloud, laying near" the he-ad of the levee, wxs covered to be on tire. At the time, there was a stiff breere blowing from the north-east, which soon carried the flumes across to the Edward Bates, the next boat below. The heat from these set fire to the Eudora, laying above them; the Belie Isle, next below the Bates, then caught fire. By this time, one or two boats below were dropped down, leaving a vacancy between those on fire and the boats below them. At this time, the Edward Bates being about half burnt up, was cast loose, and went floating down the levee, setting fire to those boats still laying at the levee, as the approached them, in the follow. ing order :—.The Julia—hut slightly injured ; the Uncle'Sam. also but slightly injured. The Bates but barely touched these boats, being those im mediately below her. The following steam boats, with a large number of wood boats, barges, &c., &c., were entirely consumed :—The Martha. Sa rah, Taglioni, Montauk, Red Wing, Alexander Hamilton, Berea* No. 3, Timour, Mandan, St. Pe ters, Kit Carson, Mameluke, Prairie State. We do not presume this comprises all the boats destroyed, but these are all the names we were able to get bold of. • The following boats were saved:—The Auto crat, De Witt Clinton, Danube, Embassy, South America, New Uncle Sam, Julia, Old Uncle Sam, Marshal i'ey. So intense was the beat arising from this great conflagration, which extended with short intervals from the head of the levee to the head of Dun can's island, that it set fire to the buildings at va rious points along the levee.. all of which were extinguished, but a row of shanties extending from Locust up towards Vine street, destroyed,and now, while we are writing, one o'clock this morn. ing, the entire block, bounded by the levee, Main, Olive and Locust streets, iv wrapped in flames, as are those houses in the square fronting the levee between Pine and Olive streets. ' And various houses on the west side of Main street, fro n TcATITZAS & SIXONOI, at the corner of Locust 21 Clain streets to Olive. Mr. Jour Ma. nut's cooper shop, at the south westromer of the levee and Elm street, and also, a large two story brick house on the west side of Main below Elm street, and the flames - are rapidly spreading, and where they may be stayed man cannot tell. This is, by far, the most awful catastrophe , that has ev, er fallen to the lot of any city west of the Alle gheny mountains. In addition to the property enumerated, there was a vast amount of gram in sacks, hemp,bacon, &c., on the levee, Which caught from the heat sent off by the boats, and was destroyed; and unfortu. nately, on one pile of hemp, which was covered hy a tarpaulin, it is said, four persons were sleep ing, and, all were destroyed. We. saw the body of one of them, a boy, which was carried into the Police Office. There were a number of kegs of powder on board the various boats, and as the fire reached them they caught and exploded with a terrific crash, scattering the burning fragments in wild confusion into the upper air. By one of these explosions, one man standing on the levee was killed by being struck with a fragment blown from the burning wreck of the Martha; another was shockingly lacerated in dd. lerent parts of his body; but how many poor wretches have fallen victims to these devouring flames as they have gone sweeping in weld gran deur from boat to boat, and from house to house, and from street to street, no man can ever tell. One of the wildest and most heart rending spectacles ever witnessed in our citv eXbibit ed last night. From Duncan's Island, extending perhaps a half or three-fourths of a mile in a con- tinuous line up the river, the burning wreck of boat met boat, and rolled their united clouds of deep blaelc smoke, and lurid flame in wild 'code. sion into upper,air; on the other hand, the long, lofty range of stores fronting the river, sent up ,a cloud of sparks and sheets of dazzling flames which threw a redrind glaring light far away into the darkness of night, which hung upon our west ern borders. Here arid there were seen half Iran tic men, running in' bewilderment' irons point to point, scarce knowing where, or staggering from their burning homes tinder a loacl of their most precious property, followed - by a weeping wief and her tender babe.- - Since writing the above, we have taken another walk through the burning district, which now, at a quarter before three o'clock, already extends from the levee, west, to Second street, and from Locust south or-Pixt street. This entire space is $ - -' * 011118111$1. not burned over,- but much of it is, and much more will be before the flames are extinguished We cannot pretend to particularize the buildings burnt, but will mention the Telegraph Office, the United States Hotel, the Reveille Office, Republi can Office, the Organ and the New Era Offices. These comprise all the English daily papers in the city, except our own; we being on the north side of Locust, above Main street, have fortunately es,- caped. • We can form no estimate of the loss, by this fire—it may probably be put down at five millions of dollars. In our evening edition we will give all the par ticulars that can possibly be had relative to this awful catastrophe. At- this time, half past four, the flames are nearly extinguished, and though our gallant firemen are almost exhausted, yet we hope but little more damage will be dese. In our morning edition, we give what of interest we were able to collect, relative to the conflaga don which has laid in ashes a large portion of St_ Louis. We also promised to give our readers, in our evening issue, as detailed an account as it was possible to collect; but; to get at anything like a full and accurate statement of the amount of prop erty destroyed, or number of lives,lost, is not with in the range`of Possibility. We can only follow the general range of the fire, without going into details, We begin by stating that at the point at which the fire first started on shore, was at the corner of Locust street and the Levee—the corner house and three buildings above it, fronting the Levee, were destroyed; the flames then crossed Locust, and swept every house, (with one excep tion,) -in the blocks fronting the Levee and Main street, and extending- from Locust southward to Chesnut street, a distance of three squares. At Chesnut street it turned up and crossed over to the next block south, at the junction of Commer. cial-alley with this street, and from the alley- to Main anddown to Market street, burning all ex cept two buildingeat the corner of Market street and Commercial alley. At the junction of Mar ket and Main streets, the flames crossed diagonal ly to the Market street house, and followed both sides of Market street, up to Second street. Then crossing Main street, the flames again swept every building from Locust to Market, except a row of four story fire proof brick buildings, just below) Locust street. ' Passing up Pine, Chesnut and Market streets, the devouring element consumed every house in the two blocks intervening between the streets mentioned, and Main and Second streets, and those on nearly half of the block north of Olive. Here its ravages were striped in this part of the city. Before the proven of the flames could he arrested, it was found necessary to blow up one or two houses near the corner of Market end Second streets, and in doing so at least three persons were , killed. The fragments of one of their bodies were fourui on the other side of the street, one near. Walnut on Second street, and the thigh bone and foot belonging to another, near, the foot of Walnut street, some two or three squares from where the houses were blown up. These, with the body of the boy burnt op the levee, make four that are now at the police once. The military firemen and citizens are to form a procession and bury them some time during the day. We will now go farther south, to the foot of Elm street, where the fire made another lodgment,' and spreading diagonally through this -block, it i swept up to Main, and down to Spruce street, distance north and south of twosquares,and cross ing Main it carried nearly everything before it,up very nearly ;to Third street, three squares to the west of its starting point. At Main street,, the flames crossed Elm, and consumed onedfourth of theblock north of Elm and west of Main'streets. From the foot of Elm, up its southern side to Sec ond street, a distance of two squares, not a house is standing. By this dire calamity, hundreds of families are made homeless, rind many who were in affluence, are reduced topoverty. I South Market, and the Town Hall were on fire at one time, but by great exertions of a few per , sons present, they were saved. , Nearly every pane of glass in the windows for half a square distant from the corner of Market and Second street, were broken by the concussion at the time of the blowing up of the bantling at that point. 'rne police arrested and confined in the jail_ and tateboosed nearly fifty persons for stealing at the tire, There are various rumors afloat relative to the' loss of different persons, but many of then: with out foundation; and yet two or three of our old and veluesl citizens we believe to have lost their lives; and no doubt many are lost who will nev er be enquired after, or thought of—strangers of whom there were many on the boats and in our city. The extent of the confiscation, from its begin. Ding to its termination, lakes in Almon the whole of two blocks, which would- be about one mile in length, by two in width. The streets of our city, laid out originally very narrow, are litterally choked up with fatten wall* of houses and destroy ed property of various kinds. We did not see either New York or Pittsburgh after the great conflagrations there, but we are Informed that our city presents an aspect of greater desolation than either of those places. In regard to the loss, com paratively, we know not from any data in our pos. session which is the greatest. Oar recollection however, is, that in neither New York nor Pitts. burgh, did the loss exceed five millions of dollars. If this be true, St. Louis has suffered more than either of those cities by fire. LIST OF STEAMBOATS BURNE!)

Minutes of preceding day road. - - The Moderator stated that he had been requested to suspend for a few minutes, the business of the As sembly, in order to permit a member to make a most melancholy announcement. A Member rose sad statql that ho had received in. telligence from Cincinnati of the death of the Rev. N. L Rice, of that city, of Cholera. Dr. Spring alluded to'the mournful ciVcumstance in the most affecting manner, and closed by moving that the order of the day be suspended until Monday morning. . - . Mr. Hill thought the announcement premature he hoped so.-there were grounds for thinking'so. Ho would immediately send to the Telegraph office for the purpose of ascertaining the facts. The order of the day was suspended to be taken up on motion. Dr. Magill read a, reliort from the Presbytery of Philadelphia, remonstrating against the growing sin of sitting during prayer—report adopted. Dr. Brims, from the Committee on Devotional Exercises, announced several appointments by the Committee. Mr. Potts, from the Finance Committee, made a report, which was accepted.

Dr. Nevin begged leave to offer a protest against the proceedings of the Assembly, yesterday, on the subject of Slavery. Leave to rend the protest was not granted. On motion, the Assembly proceeded to elect a preacher on Popery, the sermon to be delivered be fore the next General Assembly. The Roll being called the following - result ap peered : For Dr. Spring, " " Plummer, 4 ' 44 Junkeo, 44 Elliott, " Potts, " Thomas, .r Smythe, if Lord, " Youtan, Dr. Spring iru announced all being elected, end Dr. Potts, of St. Lords, his ittentate. Order Of the day postponed for the . purpose ot ta king up unfinished business. &Attys.—Rev. Nevin asked fur •permission to read his protest against the division or Macau bly yesterday on the subject of Slavery: Oa motion, granted, and Mr. Nevin proceeded to read the following PIOTE bT. The undersigned, claiming the right guarantied to him by the form of government of the Presbyterian Church, feels hituselt imperatively called upon from a sense tifdrity to God, to the Church, and tho slave, to protest against theJudgmeut of this Assembly, as expressed in the report adopted by it, on the subject uf slavery. The reasons for this protest are as follows: I. The trite position of our church, in regard to this subject, which is one of overwhelming impor tance, is not known with certainty, either by alt its minister* or members, or the world at large. some affirming that the Church sanction slavery as an in ;attrition, having the moral approbation of - God ; and others that AI CODdeXIM iL, 2. The fact that there is -a spirit of "earnest in quiry and deep agitation on the subject," instead of rendering it "improper and inespedient" for this As. emptily to express its sentiments, dednitely upon it, is in the opinion of the undersigned the very reason niby Its sentiments should be expressed. as by this means, the members of the Church will be eni:bled to know their duty as moat subject*, in connexion with the great question. It is the light of the divine truth atone, shining through the living organization of the Church, that a competent so instruct and stim, elate the masses to regard to the spiritual duty of "breaking every yoke and letting the oppressed go free." 3. The provision that is referred to as being made for the just exercise of discipline upon those who neglect or violate the mutual duties of master and servant, items to recognise the righteousness of the relationship of slavery. Besides the slave, as long as ho is a slave, from , the nature -of the tenure by which he is held, and because of the light in which his condition is regarded b r all masters, cannot pos sibly convict before any Ot our eclesiastical courts, I the master or other Church member. How calmer (finery G would appear, should a slave present him. -self in the General Assembly as an appellant or com plainant against seine wrong inflicted upon him, by one assuming to himself the dignified title amulet. 4. The action of some al theformer Assemblies, Instead of benefiting the slave, it is feared sax given reliefto the consciences of alaveholders, which had already began to cry in thunder tones against their wrong in holding in bondage beings whom God created to his own likeness, and whom Jesus em braced in his warmest sympathies add love. While ' this action is giving relief to some minds, it is driving many other' to *operate themselves from the Church that was once dear to their hearts. 5. Presbyteries cannot give or adopt measures for imparting religious instruction to the stave, since un der the dispensation of grace, as we are taught by the Son of God, there must be an expression of kindness thatvrill make every sacrifice before the truth can be received in love, and become the power of God unto salvation. There is no kindness in the acts of man to his fellow-man, unless the rights or owner ship. This being the first and the great demand of the law of love and common•senso justice. 6. There does not appear to be in the General As. sembly es expressedthy the report, that sense of the magnitude el the evil of slavery, which the nature of the case would seem to warrant. It is thought to be a privilege granted with reluctance, to some few to look at the subject at all; and speak their sen timent* upoh it, and not to be the duty of all to take op the subject, and give to it that degree or earnest and prayerful attention which it is receiving at the hands of every other eclesiastical organization and every form of civil policy, where chriatianity has quickened their sensibilihes and affected their legia. lotion.
