The Mast destruotivi fire that has vis
ited our town for a number of years broke
out about half pest five o'clock on Monday
afternoon last, in the stable belonging to
the Buck Hotel, in North George etreet,
in the utcupecny of Mr. John •Luturian.---
The alarm was soon given, but so rapid
did:the flames spread that in a very abort
time the adjoining stables, the Hotel, and
all the buildings between it and the corner
of George and Philadephia Street, together
with several dwellings on the !atter street,
including the dwelling of Thomas E.
Cochran, Esq.,'were enveloped in flames.
Several dwelling houses, three shops, and
four stables, were entirely destroyed.—
The Beek Tavern, stable, and the store
room adjoining; we believe„, were owned
by Dr. Robert Pattersouotif Middletown ;
a twoostory frame dwelling house and
frame stable owned and occupied by Mr.
John Mitzel ; a one and a half story frame
house, two shops and two stables, °week!
by Mr. A. J. Frey. The house was oc- 1
by Mrs. Rupp, Who, tve learn, lost
all her forniiiire,'hesides some forty or fif
ty dollars in money. One of the shops ,
was occupied by Mr. Frey ass hatter shop.
The brick. house owned by 'Mr. Daniel
Ford, amid occupied . by . Mrs. Kitimat., was
very much injured ; and the dwelling of
Thdinas E. Cochrtm,Esq., had the roaf
entirely burnt off, and the inside of the buil
ding considerably damaged. The build
ings destroyed, we believe, were all in
sured—some in the' York Count) , Mutual
Insurance Company,.and others in Phila
delphia. The lose of furnitore. however,
will be considerable, as a great deal of it I
was much damaged by the hasty removal.

FIRE IN irUE AIOUNTAINB.—We have
alreirthr noticed the fire in the mountains
near Carlisle. The Baltimore Sun learns
from a gentleman who witnessed the con•
fiagration, that it was awfully grand; ex•
tending over several thousands of acres,
ranging tbe two /immense mountains eur•
rounding the celebrated , White puiphur .
and Chalybeate 19Prings. ,a l / 4 ,Dou bling
Gap. The fir e originated by tree being
struck with lightntug. and ,epread over
one 'of the most *ld and picturesque parts
of this country. Although Doubling Gap
was completely sitrrnutilled by the fires.
'the buildings attached to the watering
place, and belonging to SCIM (lOYLE Esq., I
were in no manner, injured.., The sight of
such'st'conflagration running throUgh the
mountains can be better imagined than
described.
Faunas Tom- ntom SWITZSRLAND.--
Theodore S. Fay: U. S. Minister to
Switzerland, writes to Mayor Wood, of
New york, ibat the• cerittinial authoritiee
of that cointry ate adopting eery precau
tion igainst the shipment of paupers and
criminalsto the United States. Mr. Fay
thus disPlaY, a fact not gyerally under
Numbers. of, Swits, on: leaving their
country, lenitive a , sum of money, front the
county authorities without being paupers.
It havens in this way. A part of the soil
belong to the commoners, and eery mein
ber has a certain property in it. Al
though the Swiss enjoys _ the privilege of ex
patriation, be does not lose the rights of
nationality, except with consent, even by
foreign naturalisation.. When het emigrates
therefore, he sells these rights,and receives
in return from the , eomniunal authorities a
sum of money, not. an eleemosynary do
nation, but the.payment of a debt, or an
equivalent for value received. •
Tux TELEGRAPH...A-The Electric Tel
egraph is now established almost without
break, from London, semis Europe, on: ,
tier the Black S ea, and into the Crimea—•-
a distance of some eight hundred leagnes,
which is about equal to four-fifshs or the
actual distance beotween Liverpool and
New York, and inert,'• than equal to the
whole route Irons Ireland to Halifax...—
The last newspapers from England, by
the Asia, contain intelligence from Balik
lava of - the previous dale. That is, .iieh
intelligence was committed to the wires at
Badaklave, at 4 o'clock in the morning, and
received in -London on the afternoonof the
same day.
The sub.marine cable is laid down some
300 miles at the bottom of the Black Sea.--
It remains
,to be seen how far it may be
affected by
_under-currents and other ob
structions. t3ciantlfic satin in Europe have
little fear on that score. The principle
once established as successful. we may
speedily expect to have a sub•marine tele.
graph line between the Old W orld and the
New, and there is no reason that once so
complished, why the daily news of Lon
don and Paris should not be published in
this country within few hours of :,its oc

The Aall-LlcenNe Law.
o:77lie,enti-License Law enacted by
the last Legislature, as it becomes better
understood and its beneficent effects 'bore
clearly foreshadowed, is girth% in popular
ity and confidence. As explained by its
friends, it will pretty effectually, in its op
eration, close up the innumerable grogger
ies and retail liquor houses by which the
State is encumbered, and pave the way for
Prohibition. The extension of Licenses to
October will enable dealers to sell out their
. present stock, and prepare for a change
of business without essential pecuniary
sacrifice. Wo notice that the lbw is very
favorably received by the friends . r of Pro
hibition in the State generally, girt more
particularly in the Northern counties,
where it is warmly supported by the
Press.
In Philadelphia a... very large meeting
was held on Thursday evening, at which
resolutions wore adopted warmly endors
ing the law, and thanking the Legislature
for its enactment. Mayor CONRAD pre
sided and made a speech in which he
pledged his administration to a fair and
fearless enforcement of tho law in that
city. "The act," said the Mayor, .4iis
now on the statute book, and I say 'it in
no profane - sense, ao help inc God !it shall
bo enforced' l" This declaration was . re-
.coivedwith immense and long continued
applause.
Dr. Durbin, Hon. C. B Penrose, and
others addrei*ed the meeting; also Col.
Cummins s of the. Legislature, who detail
ed the difficulties they had to contend with
in getting an Act through. Ho admitted
that . the Act as it finally passed was not
perfeCt ; but it was the best that could bo
got, and they took it for tho good it would
necessarily accomplish, looking to the
next Legislator° for such amendments an
would be fouind necessary. As to "repeal"
—that was out of the question. No mom
ber of the late Legislature dreamed of any.
thing of that kind. "Prohibition" has be
come manifest destiny, and its march
is ONWARD !

The person who shall send, before the Gth

I have been induced to make the above lib
eral offers in order to remove a settled objec
tion in the minds of your committee, to having
the distribution takq,,,,,place while there remain
in my hands tickets %timid, and for which cause
they have seen fit to defor the partition of the
gifts, which was fixed for the 27th inst., to the
6th of July, as will be seen by reference to
their proceedings, published below. I assure
you that the postponement is as vexatious to
me as it is to those who have purchased tick
ets. I therefore hope that each and every one
now interested, will cokiperate with me in the
effort to dispose of the few thousand tickets
remaining unsold, and thus advance the inter
ests of the whole body of shareholders.
. Respectfully yours,
J. PERHAM.

TO THE PATRONS OF
TIE R H A M'S THIRD GIFT ENTERPRISE.
At a meeeting of the Committee of Share
holders of Perham 's Gift Enterprise, held at
the Academy Hall, Broadway, on Wednesday'
Evening, April 18th, 1855, the following pre
amble and resolutions were adopted and order
ed to be published :
Whereas, in view 2f the fact that several en
terprises have been started and carried on with
a seeming positive purpose of defrauding those
who could be persuaded to purchase tickets
there in ; and such fradulent proceedings have
exerted and injurious influence on the sale of
tickets in the enterprise of Mr. Perham ; and
whereas, it is deemed essential that all the fle
ets should be disposed of before the distribu
tion takes place, be it therefore
Resolved That in order to allow timeforthat
purpose, the distribution be postponed until
the sth of July, at such place as may hereafter
be determined on.
