At San Francisco, recently, W. L.XIIiry- aler, Esq., bcfMr. Joshua Jt Hayen, the nomineo for Major, 100 that he could over-check him. The bet was accepted. Mr. Chrysler drew his check on Pago, Uacon & Co. for 3100,000, and Mr. Hav en for 50 000, Both checks were im mediately honored by tho cashier, who was present, and Chrysler won the bet Mr. Haven then proposed to bet Chrysler S50,000 that he would beat Mayor C. K. Garrison for the mayoralty at the ensu ing election. Tho bet was promptly ta ien. checks drawn and honored by the cashier of Page, Bacon & Co., and put up. This is one of the largest bets ever made within our knowledge on a local election. A destructive firo at Pittsburg, Pa., broke out on Monday afternoon in the drug-store of B. A. Fahnestock, corner of Wood and Front-streets, which was en tirely destroyed with its contents, valued at S70,000, of which 850,000 were insur ed. Several adjoining buildings were al o more or less damaged. Freak of an Old Man. juite an excitement was created in Prov idence, R. L, on Tuesday last, in conse quence of a strange freak of an old man named Lyman Hawcs. The track of the Providence and Worcester llailroad runs through land which formerly belonged to him, and the price of this land had been assessed by commissioners at a valuation which he refused to accept. On Tuesday ho placed a small house erected by him self upon both tracks, in which he put several kegs which he said contained pow der, and then fastened himself inside by nailing up every entrance to it. The Boston and Providence train and the Providence and Worcester train were, as they came along, brought to a stand still by the obstruction and detained for nearly two hours. The old fellow swore that if they attempted to run the engine through the house ho would fire he powder and blow everything around him to atoms. After a long delay, during which the, crowd increased to over a thousand peo ple, the North Providence and the Prov idenoe police arrived, when they fell to work, and with well-directed blows soon smashed in the doors of the house, and then seized the old man. It was with difficulty at first that tho crowd could be .kept from injuring him. He was hurried away to jail. The crowd then attacked the house and soon made a complete wreck of it. About half a keg of powder onlv was found. The Russian "War has at last assumed a phase of profound interest. An allied army. 5ti.000 strong, has landed in the Crimea, unobstructed, and is marching on Sevastopol; while 14,000 men are on the way from Varna to swell the invading force to above 70,000. Precisely how strong the Russians are in the Province we have no means of knowing, but it may well be doubted whether in a pitched bat tle they can cope with the allies; and as j for a siege, the result at Bomarsund does' not lead us to expect anything brilliant from the Russians in the way of defending fortifications, nor anything very solid in the fortifications themselves. Nor is our confidence increased by the fact that the supreme command in the Crimea is in the hands of the arrogant and shallow Men cbikoff, who has never yet distinguished himself as a soldier. However we shall see; after having been surprised by the "bravery and skill of the Turks, the world may now receive a similar suprise from -the Russians. At any rate the question must be rapidly decided; the allies must promptly capture Sevastopol or take to their ships again and flee, still more (lis gracefully than Napier is about to do from the Baltic. There is a report from Constantinople that conditions of peace nave been agreed upon, but it is a hoax. There can be no peace till one of the parties is beaten. The invasion of Russia renders that cer tain, if there was any doubt about it before. From Sjpain we have renewed complaints xhat Mr. Soule is engaged in revolution ary machinations, and is spending money freely for that purpose. From the other countries there is nothing of special mo ment. The Eighth Avenue Rank, New York, failed on Monda'. The bills are amply secured, but the depositors will be apt to uffer.
