SAN FRANCISCO IN ASHESII
The Hotels anil Custom Houses burned—Ship
. ping and mulicns of Property destroyed.
NEW ORLEANS, Juno I7lb, 1851. .
From tho steamship Alabama arrived we
have our advices. She brings tho lamenta
ble and astonishing intelligence that the city
of Sanfrancisco has been almost entirely de
stroyed by 0110 of tho most destructive con
flagrations in this or any other land. Tho
particulars of this terrible disaster are too
long to be transmitted by tolegraph immedi
ately and tho facts must be very priefly sta
led.
Property to tho amount of fifteen million
of dollars is believed to liavo been destroy
ed. Among tho ouildings destroyed are the
custom-house, Union, Parker's, and the offi
ces of tho steamship company. Tho fire
spread to the shipping, consuming a large
number of vessels lying at tho wharves. It
was discovered in Cluy street and ran
through one dozen blocks, quickly spreading
to other parti of the city, a great part of wkiih
including Cenlre and Eluorado streets, are
completely gutted. The utmost cousterna
lion prevailed during tho fire ami llioutandA
were left out of house, some having lost
their all. Measures were about being adop
ted for the relief aud shelter of tho sufferers.
It is feared a number of lives have been
lost. Busines was entirely lost sight of. San
Franoisco presents a sorrowing and heart
sickening picture. The exertions mado jn
arresting the flames were 011 the whole of
little avail, ond so extensive were the la
bors of the fire department thai but little was
provided by their efforts. The consternation
of the inhabitants was very great, and ol
course every thing was in confusion. The
number of persons rendered houseless by
this calamity is beyond calculation, at pres
ent. The news from the mines continues to
be of a cheering character. Now discover
ies were daily bei-'g made, and, arid llie
prospects of thu miners were highly favora
ble-
The quartz crushing machines worn reap
ing rich rewards in some instances the aver
age per man was from 30 to 50 dollars per
day. Lynch law is still in force and several
new examples have been made.

theirJANNt'AL EXHIBITION. There is no State
in me Union whose climate, soil, and the
habits of whose pcoplo afford more ample
resources than our own for a creditable ex
hibition of their skill and industry. There
is nothing raised, grown or mauufuulured
upon the face ol the earth, which is not
more or less imcresing in the study and sci
ence ol Agriculluo. The Farmer, the Horti
culturist, the Inventor, the Mo.'hanic, are all
cordially and earnestly invited to contribute
i and partake in the interest which will be
I excited by the occasion , and especially do
we invite the aid, couuteuatico ond presence
of our mothers and daughters, upon whose
handy-work and good example we are so
dependent for all the domcslie comforts of
life.
Arrangements aro now being made lor en
closing the grounds, and providing separate
and sate place for alt animals and articles
which shall be presented for exhibition. All
the canals and rail-ways of the Stato will be
open free of charge for their transpor
tation to llarrisburg ; and visitors will
come and go 011 them at one half the usual

an opportunity tor the display of their skill,
the training of their teams and the fitness of
tdeir implements.
v\ hile we address this communication to
the people of "our State, it will riot be un

BANKING OPERATIONS. — During the trial of
E. Collier, the late Cashier of the defunct
Havre do Grace Bank, at Elkton, last week,
Richard Grason, counsel for the prosecution,
statod that on the 28th of Augnst last, the
resources of the Bank amounted to $28,842,
32, while its liabilities were $13ti,050, leav
ing a deficit of $107,207 68, which amount
Mr. Collier was charged with embezzling.
Mr. Constable, for the defence, contended
that all the operations of tne Bank were fic
titious—that the funds soon after they were
paid in by the stockholders were returned to
them in New Vork, where all the money
belonging to the concern was kept, so that
there was nothing left for Collier to steal.
The jury acquitted Mr. C. of the fraud
against the institution, but if what his coun
sel staled be true somebody ought to be in
dicated for a fraud upon tho public.
