From the Providence (II I) Chronicle
of 2il init. we glean the following particue
lire of a most destructive fire iti Fall Riv

mites from Providence.

The fire broke out in Westcott and Bur
den's Cabinet shop, in the south part of the
village, and extended with fearful rapidity
. before a south wind (which was blowing a
Ole.) on both sides of the street as far as
Franklin St.; dividing three entire squares.
From one hundred and fifty, to one hun
dred and seventy houses were destroyed,
among which were three Meeting-houses,.
Iwo Banks, three Prin:ing offices, one Mill,
(the . - Pocasseet) the Custom House, the
'Pest Office, and two public Houses. (the
Pocassett and Manufacrurers e ) breides, all
of the dry goods and a mejority of other
stores in the villegie together with the
Markets and Bakeries.
A number of buildings were blown up .

The Approaching F.lectionq
In all the States where the elections are
near at hand, the contests are carried on
with great warmth, and both parties are
doing all in their power to "head" their
opponen's. The democrats rally round
their old established principles, Po
_which
they have fought a hundred battles { att,d are
willing to encounter as many wore.
, T b s .
whigs having no fixed principles, do'.tioth—
ing but oppose, and their polit e ie awes va
rious as the schemes.uf their leaders.
In Indiana and Teuryfsiee, the contest
is already very animapd, and both parties
are doing all tfiey cafito bring out their en•

The Gazette announces that iii conse
quence of the old forwarding lines being
disappointed in breaking up the Truck
system, they are going to withdra a , from
the carrying trade entirely, if they give
up their combination, we suppose they will
adopt the section boats, and the individus
als who now form+he lines do busi•
ness on their own: hook. Many of them
are _enterprising business men, and, under
the new system, can, wa have no doubt,
do as well as under their old combination,
which in its efforts to drive off all competi
tion, WI; burthened with innumerable ex
penses that do not attend the Truck sys
tem. This is a season of the year when
the withdrawal of their lines cannot cause
any serious inconvenience, as the section
boats run by individuals will be amply suf. '
ficient to do all the carrying business. The
decision of the Supreme Court has settled
the question as to the permanency of the
Truck system, and in a short time the Ca
nal will be covered with section boats,
owned by individuals, which will take the
place of the great unwieldy concerns now
about to be withdrawn by the combined
companies.
.3 Good Example. —The Legislature of
N. EL adjourned on the Ist inst., after
a session of twenty-five days; having pois
ed-sixty-six acts and refusing to pass a
great many more. The Granite State is
:ou thoroughly Democratic to tolerate long
sessions; the members attend to the busi- ;
!less of their constituents, and Mien that is !
done they go home to attend to their nwo.
We Wish : that such was more the practice
in the Keystone State.

ful affray took place in Stewart -County,
Tennessee, . a few miles front Dover, on the
night of the 16th uh:—
Franklin Faucet and Perdue,
with several others, went to the house of
Lewis Lunford, whom they suspected of
harboring a runaway negro. Liinsfigd re
fused them admittance into his house.—
They forced the door, and Faucet, who
entered first was shot dead, the ball pier•
clog his heart. Perdue, who followed,
was struck with an axe, and badly but not
fatally wounded. All hands then fell upon
Lansford, who was left dead, with his
skull broken in several places. It is ex
petted that the surviving parties will sub
mit to th 4 authorities of the law, and the
matter will undergo a judicial investiga. ,

Mr O'Connell declared, on Thursday, at the

W4R more disposed to conciliate than to coerce, and
that if they were prepared to sever the Church
from the State in Ireland, ho would meet them in
'excellent homer.' He stat..l that Peel end the
conciliatory party in the Cabinet had prevailed.
In Lundun, however, the belief is quite the other
way, and that the Duke of ‘Vellington'a recipe fur
quieting the Irish by force had found the greatest
number of supporters in the Cabinet, leaving Peel
and the moderate party in a minority. The lan
guage used by Lord Stanley and Sir James Gra
ham, durina Friday's debate, in contradistincti n
to that of Sir Robert Peel, is calculated to
strengthen the latter impression. A little time,
however, n ill decide the tprestion. The rent thi.

Explosion of fl S`l , pl.nrien with A mnoition.
Shortly bcfore it o' c lo c k on Friday
morning, the town of Southarnpi in I, il
thrown into a great consternation by the
report of rap Tartar brig in the docks, be
tog on fire, and that she had, in addition to
a greit quantity of amunition, two tons of
gunpowder on hoard The latter rumor
appeared to be without foundation. as the
actual cargo consisted o'looo Paixhan hol
low or loaded shells. a large quantity of
richt ts, shipped in London, and tAenty
brass guns, manufactured in Southampton,
and recet,tly put on board, to rec-ive which
the Tartar had put into Southampton
Some of the guns were of three tons weight
and the v.hole were hound for Vera Cruz.
As soon as it. was known that the vessel
was on fire, she was deserted. as was also
the John King, lying near her. Hun
dreds of people left the town. and many of
the shops were shut up, The Sappers and
Miners, forming the surveying corps sta.
tinned at this place, were requested to at
tend to fire into her, s.o that she 'might be
sunk —an d a party of about 30, under the
command of Lieut. Jolland, were speedily
on the spot, a 24 plunder was dragged
from the platform for use. Up to this time
the flames had just begun to rise above the
deck, and several shots were well fired be.
tween the wind and water.
The preparatiQn for firing-occupied some
time, the dock ground being very unfavor.
able, and toy the tijne eight or nine shots
told, the flames had extended fore and alt,
and the rockets' and loaded shells flew in
every direction. Of course the sappers
were called off, and the immediate neigh
borhood abandoned . .. The sight at this
time was grand and irriposincr, vast numbers
of the rocket's going up simultanenusly,and
many of-the shells exploding in the air.—
Some pieces of the iron fell a third .of a
mile from the vessel. About 1 o'clock the
tria i rims m. - werif . bv the bn rd, dragging
with it the foremast, but;the flames raged
furiously below, at no great height, how.
ever, fr?)rn a strong wind blowing at the
time; about 2 o'clock further, and more
powerful series of discharges and expla.
sloes took . , place, and at 2tl minutes t0...3

ROBERT EMMETT,
Founded upon facts that oecu• red in I reland in 1803.
The original speech by the unfortunate Emmet before,
Lord Norbtiry, will be introduced, ant' the incidents of
the time adhered to, with the roost scrupulous exactitude.
The present question that agitates Ireland, has an Intl
mate bearing noon this piece, and it urents that the spirit
of prophesy that dwelt In the reed oc that martyr of Lib.
erty, in the Session /louse of Dublin, is about to be real
hied, anti the gale of freedom will soon disperse the dith
ering, clouds that have so long hiltig like a dismal pall 0-

Ireland, a nation free, as she .9 great, coupled with the
last words of E smelt, did 'rot till titre, let my
