The fire orig inated in a itable, situated on Green Al loy, in the rear of the Methodist Episco pal Church. About ten buildings were destroyed on Hivcr alley, between Front and Secoud streets. The loss is estima ted at about S'20,000. Howard & Co.'s Express stable was dc stroycdrwilh five horses and several wag ons. The Methodist church, on Second direct, was wholly destroyed, and the parsonage adjoining, barely escaped. A inon the others sufferers, are Messrs. E. Y. Keller, carpenters; G. Allen, baker; Hippie & Lines, lumbermen; sis frame dwellings were also burned, and the oc cupants lost, everything they possessed. The church was insured for S3750. At one time it was feared that the cu lirc block would be destroved. This is the second large fire during the month. Wheat three dollars a bushel.

Important Correction. The Hanisburg Herald calls aiteution t an important proviso in the new li- c.n -e bill that -was omitted in the first -iblieation of the law at Ilarrisburg, and ; nerall7 throughout the State. It was a ldcd to the bill as an amendment in the S nate, and is in these words : "Psoridcd further That eo much of any art or acts of Assembly, as require a li cense from a crty or county Treascrer -) c 'tluorizc Utc sale qf spirituous, vinous or -: z"l notion! be and the same is hereby re- j j ! 'J his clause refers to tho- licenses for, restaurant?, eating and oyster-houses and groceries selling by the quart, and uncou t,. tonally repeals Treasurer's licenses. As they are invariably, we believe, grant ed about the first of May, none but tav ern keepers will be permitted to sell un dtr the old law until October next, or un t I their licenses expire. Proprietors of eating-houses, groceries, &c, cannot procure license until October, as has generally been apposed; and all those taken out, or to t.iho effect, since the passage of the new li.l, arc necessarily null and void.

From the Cincinnati Enquirrr. A Clergyman Engagedto be Married to Eleven Ladies. We heard yesterday of a scries of vil lages perpetrated recently by a wolf in sheep's clothing, of a character to bring the reverend imposter, if caught, tothe pen itentiary. His name is John Howard Wil son, and he has been preaching for some time past at Cheviot. Being endowed with a soft, oily tongue, and a sleek appearance, he tried his killing accomplishments indis criminately among the unmarried belles of that suburban village with such succpss that he engaged himself to be married to eleven , some of whom he borowed mon ey from upon the pretence of making the necessary arrangements towards house keeping. Of one young lady he obtained S50, which ho laid between the leaves of a Bible in her parlor, to be ucd the day previous to the wedding ; but when upon hearing of the pranks of the sanctimoni ous Lothario, she looked in the hiding place, the bank bills were non c-t. The manner which led to the discovery of his multifarious engagements was. that a couple of the betrothed met by accident in a fashionable dry goods establishment in this citv. After mutual recognition, ! they proceeded to examine various fab- ncs and make purchases, hmgmariy e oough their tastes assimilated so exactly that 3'oung lady number one remarked to youn.s: lady number two that she thought it very strange. Hereupon young lady number two replied thai it was; but, if she (young lady number one) could keep a secret, she would tell her one. Number one promised (what feminine would not?) that her lips should be cter nallv sealed, when blushing like a peony, her companion whispered in her ear that she was going to be married. "To whom V exclaimed the excited number one. Another promise of secrecy and the name of the Rev. John Howard Wilson was softly breathed. "Who V exclaimed number one, while her earnest gaze betokened her astonish ment. The name was again repeated, and forthwith young lady number one become suddenlj' dizzy, and but for the applica tion of S(d volatile and cold water, a faint ing exhibition in the mercer's establish ment would have ensued. After a while, when sufilciently calm to explain, she in formed .young lady number two, that she, too, was under engagement to the rever end deceiver, and she was then making purchases of her wedding garments. An other kettle of fish was the consequence of this disclosure, for young lady number two went through the same motion as her predecessor, and again the pungent mix ture and cold water were in requisition. The disconsolate damsels returned with out their purchases to the quiet village, where they speedily proclaimed the vil lany of the rascally pastor, who, getting wind that all wan discovered made tracks between two days during the past week. Since his exit it has been discovered that he some time ago forged a draft on Mr. Ellicot, of the Methodist Book Con cern, which was honored. No tidings have been heard of him since his absquat ulation, but we presume that he will turn up under another name, when he can dis cover a convenient field to reap a harvest by playing upon the credulity of the sus ceptible? femiuines who had a penchant for love and eanctity. , Hail Storm. On Wednesday, of last week, Easton and vicinity was visited by a severe hail storm. The stones were de scribed as large as birds eggs, and they fell with such pelting force that man aud beast had to seek shelter. Know Nothing Strength.

New York, April 22, 1855. The Steamship Nasville, chartered by the Collins Company in place of the Pa cific, arrived "at noon to-day, bringing dates from Liverpool aud London to the 7th inst. The Nashville arrrived out at Liver pool on the 3d in.-t., and left at 3 P. M. on the 7th. She brings about fifty pas senger, among whom is Mr. Ullman, who announces the engagement of Madame Lagrange, Parodi, Morale, and Moreili, who leave Havre iu the first steamer alter the 9th inst. The Peace Conference. The A'ienna Conference having adjour ned till the 9th. to await the Russian ul timatum, and the arrival of the French and Turkish Ministers of Foreign affairs at Vienna, there is no news from that point The 'consideration of the third point would be the first subiect before the Con ferencc. Public opinion seems to be about . -til ii equally divided as to what win dc uie n mil result. Ali Pasha arrived at Vienna ou Friday :tnd would take part in the future discus sion? of the Conference. A despatch from Berlin dated Friday Gth. states that the Russian pirty is pre dominant there, and that Prussia will most likely throw herself into the arms of the Czar, in case oi an untavorabic result of the Conference. England. It being the season of the Easter holi days, there is but very little news of in terest. Parliament is not in session. From the Crimea. There has been a succession of sangui nary conflcts between the French and Rus sians before Scbastopol, for the posses sion of the Rifle ambuscade pits, with va rvina; success, but much loss. The latest reported battle occurred on the night of the 23d, and in which 3000 men were killed and wounded ; but no details have been received. The Russians as well as the Allies, arc both strengthening their position prepar atory to the opening at the Spring cam paign. At a council of war, held by the offi ecrs of the allied armies on the 12th of March, Omar Pasha desired assistance from the Allies, which could not be gran ted, and the Turks are consequently only expected to hold their position at Eupa- tona. March 18th A large reinforcement for the Russian garrison entered Scbasto pol to-day. General Canrobert states in his des patches that in the affairs of March 22d and 23d, the Russians lost 2000, and the allies 500. Seige of Seoastopol. Continued fighting for Possession of the Rifle Pitts Great sacrifice of Life. Since the date of previous advices there has been a scries of fierce sorties and as saults, between the Russians and French, for possession of the rifle ambuscade in front of the Frcuch position and under the Malakoff tower. These rifle pits which have led to so considerable a sac rifice of life, arc placed fn front and to the right and left of the tower, and ibout 690 yards from the Allied works The- are merely excavations in the ground faced round with sand-bags and banked with earth, loop holed for rifles. They are six in number, and each contains ten men GO in all. Gen. Bosquet con siders it a point of honor to take and hold or destroy these ambuscades. He has several time?, by nigut assaults, driven out the Russmn55, but as these pits are covered b the fire of the city batteries, the French have hitherto found it impos sible cither to destroy or hold them. The importance of this position to both besie gers and besieged is very" groat. The Malakoff round tower is regarded as the ke' of the defences, and hence the energy of the Russians in strengthening it. Considerably in advance of the tower is the elevated mound, or hill, now called the "Mamelon," on -which the beseiged are erecting a battery of great strength. A little further in advance is the eminence recently Eeized so skilfully by the Russians, and fortified with earthworks ; it is now crowned by a square redoubt, with 16 yins visible on its. three outward sides, but they have not yet opened fire. Outride of these defences are the rifle pit. The Russian batteries at Inkcrman, their forts ou the other side of the Tcher- nay and the worksof Malakoff cover this redoubt, and converge on the approaches in front of it. This explanation will con vey an idea of the strength of the position which the French nightly contest. Bates of the encounters are as follows : Durinc: the night of March 14th, there was a fierce affair. The Russians had ad vanced some riflemen in front of the French lines, who caused considerable an noyance. When night fell, a demi-bri-gade of French went down and drove them out. All the city batteries along the front immediately opened and contin ued a furious cannonade for half an hour, during which a stronger force of the enc- my advanced on tuc irencu ana com pelled them to retire, with a loss of G5 men ; the Russian loss being probably more severe. The Russians re-occupied the pits. Ou the night of the 15th, the French renewed the attack and succeeded, with comparatively little loss, in driving out the enemy's riflemen, and occupying the pits with their own. The French continued to hold those on the right, under a heavy fire, over the 10th and 17th March. Night of tho 17th, yet another encoun ter took place. At half past six o'clock in the evening, the French, who had re tired before the fire from tho batteries, marched down to re-occupy tho ambus cade, but found the Russians had antici pated them. A fierce conflct immediate ly commenced, but it was evident the "73. -.1. -' Russians were in strong ,iorce, ana tnc French were again and again Dome back bv the weight of tho fire. lor lour uours aim a uau. tucj puiou vercd in their attempts, and all that time a continuous roll of musketry rang out, brdken only by brief pauses in the ad vance. In these lulls tuc I3riusn couiu distinctly hear the voices of the French nWrs cheering on their men ilEn a- vant, inrs cnfuisr' "En avant Zouvcs " alm the tram'p of feet and "the rush, of moil followed ; then a roll ot musketry was heard, diminishing in volume to rap id file fighting. Tlien a llussian clieer then more musketry--a lew dropping snots ond the voices of the officers once more The Zouvcs bore the brunt of the fight, and the action was somewhat peculiar, as irfillcrv took no part m it. lhc lintisli oa 3d 4th and light divisions were told off for action, and the entire "British camp remained - under arms until tue Irencti dpsisted from their attack; but as the gal lant French make it a point of honor to take those pits without aid, no assistance oc offered. The French were 5000 V J v - strong and they state their loss at 150 killed and wounded, besides a lew prison ers. On the 16th, a reinforcement of 15,000 men entered Scbastopol. None of the Russian batteries fired a shot to-day. The Russians continue to tnrow up defen ces from the ravines of Inkcrman to the seaside south of the Rclbck. To-day an other body of Russians, apparently about 15,000 strong was observed to march to wards Mackenzie's farm, and were repor ted to have crossed the Ichernayo and advanced upon Raidan. At four, P. M., of the 18th, tilt, Gen Canrobert. with a small escort, passec down the Woronsow road, by the British rVht attack, and carefully examined 'the pits.' At nightfall, a strong force o French, with six field -pieces, was moved down on the lcit of their extreme right and another unsuccessful attempt was made to take the pits from the Russians After some hours of heavy firing o artillery and small arms, both parties withdrew. Three unsuccessful attacks were made by the French ere morning Their loss wos about 180. The British batteries, on the 18th, continued to throw shot and shell into the mamelon or new redoubt. The Russians succeeded in holding the pits, and arc engaged in constructing a formidable work on the mamelon, although frequently interrupted by the French and English batteries The French persevere-in working' for ward. Reinforcements were reported to be on their way from Russia, and the 9th Russian division had reached the vicinity ofEupatoria. The Russian position on the Tchernava remained unaltered- Prince Cortschakoff had arrived at 13a k schi Serai, and had taken command o the army. Prince Meuschikoff it was re ported, had died on his way to Moscow Serious Engagement before the Malakoff Tower. A telegraph from Paris mentions tha a despatch has becn received from Gen eral Canrobert, dated March 29th, giving an account of a sortie made by the Ru3 sians, on the mnit of the 23d March.

The Governor of Kansas. Gov. Reeder, of Kansas, seems to have become exceedingly unpopular with the pro-slavery party of Kansas, one of the organs of which strongly hints at an as sassination and revolution. The paper referred to the Squatter Sovereign has this editorial paragraph : "If the feeling against the Governor i not soon lulled, the storm will raise to such a pitch that a vacancy in the guber natorial chair of Kansas will be the re suit." This, it is presumed, is a hint that the Governor is in danger of being assassina ted. In another article it says : "There is a feeling raising in the Ter ritory against tlic Governor that only his absence will prevent a general outbreak Revolution is in every mouth ; and if the President still persists in forcing Rccdcr upon us, God only knows what the con sequences will be. Wc hope, wc pray that we will be rparcd the necessity of of such desperate measures ; but, if wc arc left the alternative of living under a dccpotic government, or of choosing a more honorable mode of freeing ourselves, we are plain to admit that we shall choose the latter course. In the language of Patrick Henry 'Give us liberty, or give us death.' " If somebody could instil into tho wri ter of the above a little more moderation, and teach him to appeal to legal means for a redress of his supposed grievances, rather to an excited mob, it would not ouly benefit him, but advance the cause which he pretends to advocate.

AWIULDISCOVEBY! A Whole Family Murdered. From The Wabash Gazette Extra. Yesterday evening about dark, a re port reached town that a whole family were discovered buried under the floor of the cabin which had been occupied by the Hubbards, who are now in jail charged with murder of Boylcs. The awful news spread rapidly over town, and iu half an hour or less, tho Ooroncr, with a Jury, and some thirty or forty citizens, had started for the place. We immediately set about finding the truth of the story, and arc indebted to Mr. James Wilson for what follows : Yesterday (Tuesday) morning Mr. Wilson and M. I. Thomas, Constable, provided with a warrant, start cd down the canal to arrest the wife of Hubbard, late developments rendering it highly probbable that she was an accom plice in the murder of Boyles. They pro ceeded to Mr. Gardiner's work, five miles west of town, where they found the wo man and arrested her. Mr. Lovcland suggested to Mr. AVilson that suspicions were entertained that the Hubbards had murdered a whole family last fall. As soon as Mr. Wilson beard this, he, in com- pamy with Mr. Lovcland, went to the house of Mr. Fisher, when they ascer tained that in September last this Hub bard family went to board with a family by the name of Lreuch, who then lived in the cabin since occupied by tho Hub bards. This French family consisted o seven persons the father, mother, and five children. They were a very poor family, that had been living in the neigh borhood six or seven years, aud were wel known by the neighbors. During las summer the old man French had raised a small patch of corn and some garden stuff the whole of which, together with the furniture, was not worth over fifty dollars Some time in October, Mr. Lewis, a nea neighbor, went to the cabin of French to purchase his corn. He was met at the fence in front of the cabin by the Hub bards, and was told that the night before, Mr. French's brother had come along with a wagon, and had taken Mr. French's whole family away with him, and had started for Illinois, and that they had purchased all their things, including the corn, garden, and furniture. A day or two afterward, Mr. Stearnes Fisher went over to inquire if the Frenches needed any assistance, and was met in the same way by the Hubbards, and was told the same story. No suspicions were entertained at the time that foul play had been used, and nothing occurred until after the body of Boylcs had been found and the Hub bards were arrested. It then began to be thought these monsters had murdered the whole family. On hearing these statements, Mr. Wilson determined to go and search the premises. He then went down to Gardiner's work and procured a shovel and pick, and tried to get some one to go with him. No one, however, believed the story, and so no one volunteered to go. While they were talking, Mr. Thomas came up, and he and Mr. Wilson proceeded to Hubbard s and found the door locked. The7 drew the staple with the pick.and entered the house. They found the floor raised, and some dirt removed. Mr. Miles Morgan, constable had been there a short time previous, searching, and had gone away. They then proceed ed to dig away the dirt and soon discov ered the body of an infant, very much decayed.- "hey immediately luft, and came up to town and got the Coroner, who summoned a jury, consisting of Stearnes bisher, J. Lewis, D. Brooks, h. Lovcland, M. W. Stobcr, and Dr. J. W. Jellison, who at once proceeded to the place which they reached about 7 o'clock last evening. In the presence of a large company, they proceeded to examine the place where the infant had been discover ed, and horrible to relate found seven bodies, consisting of the entire French family! Their skulls were all broken in, and the legs of the old man French and his wifo were broken, so that they could be doubled up and forced into the hole, which was three or four feet deep. They were laid in a heap, the father and moth er at the bottom, and tho children on top. The babe was about fifteen months old, and the oldest child about fifteen years old. There were three girls and two boys. The children were much decayed, but the parents were still sound, and wore easily recognized by those who had known them. There is not the least doubt that the Hubbards are guilty of this wholesale and damning murder. It is almost too horrible for belief, but facts arc as above stated, and the conclusion is irresistable. The Hubbards are-all in jail. Mrs. Hub bard will be examined to day. There seems to have been no other, motive than the obtaining what few worldly goods this poor family possessed, which were not worth over fijty dollars. The truth Leaking Out. The "Doublin Roman Catholic Tablet" -the Irish organ of the Popo and his party in its commentary on Mr. Chan dler's speech, shows what wc have con tinually alledgcd, that Mr. Chandler did not speak tho sentiments of the Papists, nor docs he understand, and as yet, fully comprehend tho mystery of iniquity," which is with the Priesthood of that so called church. The Tablet thinks that however people may "praise his motives and instructions," they will sec that he has not "mastered the principles involved m Jus speech that he "trenches ou the real spiritual power which he is so anxious to guard inviolate." Tho. Tablet says, "It is impossible that he can mean what his words imply" where he says, "I deny to the Bishop of Rome, the resulting from his divine office, to interfero in the relations between subjects aud their sovereigns; between citizens ana tlieir governments " and calls this "an unchris tian opinion, which must have escaped from the speaker who did not ponder his words?' lhc fact is Mr. Chandler is a Yankee by birth, was educated under Puritan in fluence, aud only became a Catholic after his second marriage to a Catholic lady. It was an act of second childhood. He does not understand the system : and in ha company of a pious wife, his only seen the better part of it its imposing worship and seeming piety. He baa never been admitted behind tne curtains, and seen he political machinery, which touched fin?er at Rome, moves the i u "anist world ; through Cardinals, Ar h Bish ps; Bishops, Priests Monks id Confessors'; on to the waiters who who so obsequiously " our city hotels, and report be P" tc cc vcrsations at the uinner , 1 domiciled in Catholic girls who arc now the houses of every man ot note, or or influence, where they can be employed, -7l, aud through whom the secrets oi uvuijr family can be obtained. Pennsylvania Telegraph. Melancholy Suicide. M. V. Seller, wife of John Seller, Mrs. of Poughkeepsio, committed suicide on Tuesday night, 10th inst., by swallowing' arsenic, which she purchased, paying that he wanted it to kill rats, lhe following letter wa3 found after her death, from which it would appear that she was driv en to the act by the conduct of her hus band's relatives. . It is a melancholy and painful story : Dear JtinN : I sit down to write to you for the last time. John, I am down hearted. I can't stand it no longer. Forgive me for what I have done. Take care of Josey, and don't think of what I have done. I loved you too well 1 Oh, God I forgive mcl After you went away on Monday noon, your father and mother commenced at me. This morning I said I would give them a dollar a week and help to do the work, but they would not do it. They said that if it had not been for me, George would have been at Dietriclrs, and you would have becn with them. John, I can't stand it. I shall trouble them no more. My time is at an end. I know that it will be hard for you, and it 3 hard for me. I would like to see you, but I cannot. So good bye forever, till we meet hereafter. Ever yours your dear wife, M. V. Seller. The following is the verdict of the jurj in the case of Mrs. Seller : " We, the undersigned, Jurors in the case of the death of Margaret Y. Seller, do find that the cause of her death was arsenic, administered by herself; and futb ermore, we find from the evidence ad duced that the same was superinduced by the unkind and brutal treatment from her father-in-law and mother-in-law." The N. Y. Tribune says, the deceased, Margaret V. Williams, before marriage, was an orphan from Hyde Park, at which place, we understand, her parents died, leaving their daughter alone in the world. She came to Pougokccpsie, and by her own industry managed to gain a liveli hood and keep herself respectable. She leaves a littte boy, tho one mentioned in the letter as " Little Josey." What a dreadful and undying remorse must gnaw at the hearts of these wretches, if they have hearts, whose conduct goaded her to this desperate deed. It is further as serted, in evidence, that her husband was also unkind to her. If so, no one can re gret that the poor hunted orphan is at rest. A negro at Norfolk, on the 10th inst., was struck on the top of the head by a barrel of oats, which fell from the third story. The negro was knocked down by the concussion, but was more frightened than hurt, thus affording an other remarkable instance of the solidity of the negro's cranium.
