Fire! I
We slop the press to announce that this morn- |
ing about half past two o’clock, our citizens were
aroused by the cry of Fire. The flames issued
from the stable ot Mrs. Brisbane, occupant of the j
western tenement of a wooden building near the j
Theatre owned by Mrs. Posted, and the eastern 1
tenement occupied by her.
The stables were soon in a blaze, and unfortu
nately, from the want of water, the roof of the re
sidence of .Mrs. Posted caught, and when we left
the scene, (near four o’clock) the Firemen were,
with manly exertions, quelling the flames: their
supply of water lieing more abundant.
The stables of Col. Hunter an 1 of Mr. N. W. J
Bulloch will consequently be rescued from the
destructive element.
About an hour before this fire broke out, there
was an alarm given by our vigilant Night Guards,
which was caused by an incendiary attempt to de
stroy the iale residence of Mrs. iiourke, on Bryan
street.
Shavings were left by the workmen, who had
l>cen repairing the edifice, partially consumed
some months since, and some of these were col
lected in the piazzi and set on lire.
One of the watch having discoverd the flames, '
the fire was extinguished with little injury to the i
building, it not having progressed sufficently to j
cause the ringing of the bell.
These two alarms exhibit the presence of in
cendiaries, and our police cannot be too vigilant
in ferreting out the wretches.
Two widow ladies have been deprived of house
and home by the vile deeds of these monsters in ■
human shape.
Mrs. Posteli’s loss has been somewhat alievia- j

mostly saved without injury.
A Cabd — To the Charitable. —The benevolent
portion of the public, who have subscribedUo the j
Kendall fund, in order to enable the late Post,
master General, (who has been in the receipt, for j
years past, ot a high salary, and is worth, least |
one hundred thousand dollars.) to meet “the cur- |
rent expenses of his family,” are respectfully in- |
formed that cboul SIO,OOO have been ijlready !
raised in different parts of the country, anil that,
vv.th a very little exertion, SIO,OOO more could
be collected. With this sum, it is believed, the
pressing necessities of Mr. Kendall could be reliev
ed, and his wants at this time, satisfied. It is
hoped that the humane and charitable will, disre
garding the calls of honest poverty, at their own
doors sen 1 all their spare change to the distressed

The Florida War. ?
Mr. P>ofßt, of Indiana, has given the public a
little insight into this stupendous piece of vjllaiiiy,
both in his scat in Congress, and elscwhent. He
charges upon the Government agents, the | crime
of purchasing coffee for public use at seventeen
cents the pound, and afterwards selling it t»|them
selves at six cents ! He declares be is r.tidy to
establish the fact, that public agents in Florida
have bought sugar alfivqtve cents per poaijd, and
afterwards sold it to each other for three! If the
House will but furnish him with authority, Mr.
Proflit is ready at a moment to prove , not; by as
sertion alone, but !ry the facts substantiate*!, that
steamboat wood has been purchased at N*w Or
leans and transported to Fort iirooke, in Florida,
at an expen e of sixty-five dollars per-cord* when
an abundance of it was growing within sjght ol
the fort, which might be obtained at the price of
cutting ! I

The Wellers Revived. A
In Master Humphrey’s Clock,by Boz, tie find
the following characteristic sketch ol old
friends. Samuel Vcller and his father. The old
one appears to have the same honor of vs idows
as ever. ;
Being very full of Mr. Pickwick’s application,
and highly pleased with the compliment be had
paid me, it will be readily supposed that King be
fore our next night of meeting, I communicated
it to my three friends, who unanimously his
admission into our body. We all looked forward
with some impatience to the occasion £wbich
would enrol him among us, but I am greatly mis
taken if Jack Redburn and myself were i*ot by
many degrees the most impatient of the psl'ty.
At length the night came, and a few minutes
alter ten Mr. Pickwick s knock was heard sit the
street door. He was shown into a lowers room,
and I directly took my crooked stick went
to accompany him up siairs, in order tlLt he
might be presented with all due formality*
“ Mr. Pickwick,” said I on entering the'room,
“I am rejoiced to tee you—rejoiced to Relieve
that this is but the opening of a long of
visits to this house, and but the beginning of a
close and lasting friendship.” |
The gentleman made a suitable reply -with a
cordiality and frankness peculiarly his ow.i, and
glanced with a smile towards two persons behind
the door, whom I had not at first and
whom I immediately recognized as Mr. Samuel
M cller and his father.
f
A
i
It was a warm evening, hut the elder Mr. Wel
dor was attired, notwithstanding, in a most capu*
I Gous great coat, and had his chin enveloped in a
large speckled shawl, such as is usually worn by
stage coachmen on active service. He looked
very rosy and very stout, especially about the
legs, which appeared to have been compressed
into his top-boots with some difficulty. His broad
brim hat he held under his left arm, and with the
forefinger of his right hand he touched his fore
head a great may times, in acknowledgment of
my presence.
I am very glad to sec you in such good health
4 Mr. Weller,” said I.
“Why thankee sir,” returned Mr. Weller,
“ the axle an I brokeyet. We keeps up a steady
| pace not 100 sewrre but with a moderate degree
I o’triction—and the consecens is that we’re still a
* runnin’ and comes into the time, reg’lar. My
son r*amivel sir, as you have read on in history , v
1 added Mr. W’eller, introducing his first born.
I received Bam very graciously, but before he
j could say a word, his father struck in again.
, “ Sainivel Veller, sir, ’ said the old gentleman,
* “ h as conferred upon me the ancient title o’grand
fiilhcr, vich had long lain dormouse, and wos
s’poscd to be nearly hex-tinct, in our family'.
Sammy, relate a anecdote o’ vun o’ them boys—
that ’ere little anecdote about young Tony,say
i in* he would smoke a pipe unbeknown to his
mother.”
“Be quiet, can’t you ?” said Sam. “ I never
see such an old magpie!”
“ That’ere Toney is the Messcdest boy,”—
Mr. Weller, heedless of the rebuff, “ the blcss
edest boy as ever I see in my days! of all the
ebarmin’est infants as ever I heard tell on, inclu
! din’ them as wos kivered over by the robin-red
breasts after they committed suicide by blackber
ries, there never wos any like that ’ere little To
ny. He’s always a playin’ with a quart pot that
boy is ! To see him a scltin’ down on the door
step pretending to drink out of it, and fetching a
long breath artervard, and smoking a bit of fire
vood and say in’ “ Now Fra grandfather”— to see
him a doin’ that at two years old is better than
any play as wos ever wrote.—“ Now I’m grand
father !” He wouldn’t take a pint pot if you
was to make him a present on it, hut he gets his
4 quart and then says, “ Now I’m grandfather !”
Mr Weller was so overpowered by this picture
that he straightway fell into a most alarming fit
j of coughing, which must certainty have been
i attended with something fatal, but for the
dexterity and promptitude of Sam, who, taking
a firm grasp of the shawl just under his father’s
chin, shook him to and fro w ith great violence,
at the same time administering some smart blows
between his shoulders. By ibis curious mode of
treatment Mr Weller was finally recovered, but,
with a very crimson face and in a state of great
! exhaustion.
“ He’ll do now, Sam,” said Mr. Pickwick,
who had been in some alarm himslf.
§2“ HeM do sir I” cried Sam, looking reproach
fully at his paient. “ Yes, he will do one o’
these days—he’ll do for hissclf, and then he’ll
wish he hadn’t. Did any body ever see such an
inconsiderate old file—laughing into convulsions
afore company, and stamping on the floor as if
he’d brought his own carpet with him, and was
under a wager to punch the pattern out in a giv-
I en time? He’ll begin again in a minute. There
he’s a goin’ oft”—l said he would.”
In fact, Mr. Weller, whose mind was still run
ning upon his precocious grandson, was seen to
shake his head from side to side, while a laugh
working like an earthquake, below the surface,
produced various extraordinary appearances in
his face, chest, shoulders, the moie alarming be
cause unaccompanied by any noise whatever.
These emotions however gradually subsided, and
alter three or four short elapses, he wiped his
eyes with the cuff of bis coat, and looked about
him with tolerable composure,
“ Afore the Governor withdraws,” said Mr.
Weller, “ there is a pint, respecting vich Sammy
has a q vest ion to ask. Vile that qveslion is a
perwadin’ this here conwersation, p’raps the
genl’men vill permit me to retire.”
“ Wot are you goin’ way for?” demanded
Sam, seizing his father by the coat tail.
“ I never see such an undootiful boy as you,
Samivel,” returned Mr. Weller. “ Didn’t you
make a solemn promise,—amountin' almost to
speeches o’ wow, —that you'd put that ere qves
tion on my account 1”
“ Well, I’m agreeable to do it,” said Sam ;
“ but not if you go cuttin’ away like that, as the
bull turned round and mildly observed to the dro
ver ven they wos goadin’ him into the butcher’s
door. The fact is, sir,” said Sam, addressing
me, “that he wants to know somethin’ respectin’
that ere lady as is housekeeper here.”
“A y ! What is that 1”
“ Vy, sir/’ said Sam. grinning still more, “ ho
vishes to know vether she—”
“In short,” Interposed old Mr. Weller deci
sively, a perspiration breaking out upon his fore
head, “ vether that old creetur is or is not a
widder.”
Mr. Pickwick laughed heartily, and so did I,
as I replied decisively ihat “ my housekeeper was
a spinster.”
“There!” cried Sam, “ now you’re satisfied.
You hear she’s a spimter.”
“A wot?” said his father, with deep scorn.
“ A spinster,” replied Sam.
Mr. ’A cller looked very hard at his son for a
minute or two, and then said—
“ Never mind vether she makes jokes or not—
that’s no matter. Wot I say is, is that ere fe
male a widder or is she not ?”
“ Wot do you mean by her making jokes ?”
demanded Sam, quite aghast at the obscurity of
his parent’s speech.
“Never you min], Samivel,” retured Mr.
Weller gravely ; “ puns may be werry good things
or they may be werry bad uns, and a female may
be none the better, or she may be none the vurse
for making ol ’em; that's got nothin’ to do vilh
widders.”
“ Vy, now,” said Sam, looking round, “Wou'd
any body believe as a man at his time o’ life
could be running his head agin spinsters and
punsters being the same thing.”
“ There arn’t a straw’s difference between ’em,’
said Mr. Weller. “ Your father didn’t drive a
coach for so many years not to be ekal to his own
1 .njvidge as far as that goes, Sammy.”
Avoiding the question of etymology, upon
which the old gentleman’s mind was quite made
up, he was several times assured that the house
keeper had never been married. He expressed
great satisfaction on hearing this, and apologized
on the question, remarking that he had been
greatly terrified by a widow not long before, and
that his natural timidity was increased in conse
quence.
“It wos on the rail,” said Mr. Weller, with
strong emphasis; 44 I was a goin’ down to Bir
mingham by the tail, and I wos locked up in a
close carriage with a living widder. Alone we
wos; the widder and me was alone; and I believe
it wos only because we was alone, and there was
no clergyman in the conweyance, that that 'ere
widder didn’t marry me afore ve reached the half
way 4 station. —Ven I think how she began a
screaming as we wos a guin’ under them tunnels
in tho daik —how she kept on a faintin’ and
kitchin’ hold o’ me—and how I tried to bu:st o
pen the door as wos tight locked, and perwented
all escape ! —Ah ! it wos u awful thing—most
awful !”
Mr. Weller was so very much overcome by
this retrospect that he was unable, until he had
wiped his brow several limes, to return any reply
to the question, wh ‘her he approved of railway
communication, notwithstanding that it would
appear, from the answer which he ultimately
gave, that he entertained strong opinions on the 1
subject.
“ I con-sider,” said Mr. Weller, “that the rail
is unconstitootionai and an inwaser privileges
and I should wery much like to know what that
’ere old Carter as once stood up for our liberties,
and won era, too— l should like to know wot he
vould say it he wos alive now, to Englishmen
locked up with widders, or with any body agin
their wills. Wot a old Carter would have said,
a old Coachman may say; and I assert that intr.al
point o’ view alone, the rail is an inwaser. As
to the comfort, vere’s the comfort o’ siltin’ in a
harm cheer, lookin’ at brick walls or heaps o’
mud. never earnin' to a public house, never seeiu’
a glass o’ ale, never goin’ through a j ike, never
meetin* a change o’no kind (horses or otherwise)
but always coinin’ to a place, ven you come ta
one a* ail. the wery picler of the last, vith the same
p leesemcn standing about, the same bleared old
bell a ringin,’ the same unfort’nate people stand
ing behind (he bars, a waitin’ to be let in; and
everythin the same, except the name, vich is
wrote up in the same sized letters as the last
name and vith the same colors.—As to the honor
and dignity o’ traveliin’ vere can that l>e vithout
a coachman; and wol’s the rail to sich coachmen
and guards as is sometimes forced to go by it,
l>ul a outrage, anda insult? As to the pace,
wot sort o’ pace do you think I, Tony Veller,
could have kept a coach goin’ at, lor five hundred
thousand pound a mile, paid in adwance, afore
the coach was on the road 1 And as to the in
gein—a nasty, wherz-n’, crcstking, gasping, puf
fin,’ bustin’ monster, alvays out o’ breath, vith a
shiny green and gold back, like a unpleasant bee
tle in that ’ere gas magnifier;—as to the ingein as
is alv »ys a pourin’ out red hot coals at night, and
black smoke in the day, the senciblest thing it
does, in my opinion, is, ven there’s somethin’ in
the vay, and it sets up that ’ere frightful sc ream,
vich seems to say, ‘Now, here’s two hundred and i
forty passengers in the werry greatest extremity
o danger, and here’s their two hundred and forty
screams in vun !’ ”
By this time I began to fear that my friends
would be rendered impatient by my protracted ab
sence. I therefore begged Mr. Pickwick to ac
company me up stairs, and left the two Mr. Wel
lers in the care of the housekeeper; laying strict
injunctions upon her to treat them with all possi
ble hospitality.

PROSPECTUS OF
tii i: it eroit ji j: it,
The undersigned propose to publish in Augusta, i
Ga. a weekly paper, to be entitled The Reformer,
extra imperial size, from the 10th of May to
the 10th oi November next, for Ons. Dollar in
advance. As its name indicates, it will be devoted
exclusively to the cause of Reform, the elevation
of WILLIAM HENRY HARRISON, of Ohio, for
President, and JOHN TYx.EII, of Virginia, for
N ice President, and the subversion of the present
Administration, —the necessity of reform in whicli
is be oming every day more and more apparent.—
It wi 1 observe a mild, dignified tone, and address
itself to the common sense of every class of citi
zens, for whose benefit it is designed.
This Prospectus is issued under the impression
that the friends of reform will make a united and
zealous effort to give the paper a general circula
tion, in short to send it to the house of every man
who reads. The People want light, and if our
friends will aid us in our work, we shall be able to
counteract the thousand calumnies of the Van
Bureu presses, and carry the “war into Africa.”—
In the language of a distinguished co-worker, “All
wc ask is to be heard by the people. It is for
them we speak, and if we can get a hearing, we
have no fears of the remit,” even in Georgia. —
“The people will vindicate their wrongs, and hurl
their oppressors from office.”
We ask the press throughout this and the ad
joining States, to insert our Prospectus, and we
especially invoke the friends of the cause to be
vigilant in procuring subscribers and forward thei
names by mail as early as possible.
The paper will contain nothing but loading mat
ter, being entirely free from all advertisements,
and is p aced at so low a price as to bring it within
the means of every man.

HOWARD’S HOTEL,
Broadway , corner us Maiden Lane, New York.
refills Hotel is one of the most commodious in
J. the Union, having a front upon Broa way of
over lUU feet and upon Maiden Lane 60 feet, with
two large wings extending in the rear 135 feet
It is six stoiies high, exclusive of basement and
under cellars, and containing over 2uo bed cham
bers, each well lighted and ventilated with grates,
besides numerous private parlors with sleeping
rooms attached, and public parlors, dining, leaning
and other rooms. There are two elegant dining
saloons, the floors of which, as well as the spacious
halls in the lust and second stories, together with
the reading and other public rooms, arc paved with
Italian marble. There is also an extensive and
pleasant room fronting upon Broadway, fitted up
lor a Ladies’ ordinary, and the ladies arc provided
with attractive public parlors, and a private en
trance to the Hotel fit in Maiden Lane.
The subscriber having for nine years past re
ceived a liberal patronage from merchants, ami
principally from gentlemen of business at his for
mer Hotel in Broad street, is satisfied from ex
perience that early meals to many are more ac
ceptable ; therefore he has had his house so con
structed as to be ab e to serve meals to such at
early hours. The hours adopted lor meals are as
follows, viz: Jn Gentleman's dining room upon Ist
floor. Breakfast at 7 or half past 7, with reference
to the season of the year. Dinner in same at 2
o’clock. In Gentlemen’s dining room upon 2d
story, and also in Ladies* ordinary, Breakfast from
Bto 10 o’clock, and Dinner at half past 3. Fruited
bills of fare are daily got up for the different dining
rooms, as it is optional with Gentlemen to take
their meals in either of the Gentlemen’s dining
rooms, without giving any notice of their choice";
the subscriber hopes the extra trouble and expense
in the attempt to suit their convenience in this
respect will be propel ly appreciated by a generous
public, and that a commensurate patronage will
result therefrom.
'J his House possesses every com qpience that
the subscriber could devise, and is universally pro
nounced by visitors to be the most replete in its
internal arrangements —its construction for light
and air being superior to any other House in the
city.
In addition to the man}' advantages and comforts
over most Motels, it has a living spring of pure
soft water upon the premises, which,apart from its
intrinsic worth as a wholesome beverage, so un
usual to be found in the low r er part of the city,
adds very much to the safety of the establishment
in case of a lire on or near the premises ; a power
ful force pump being attached to the well to force
water therefrom, as well as from the various cis
terns in the yard, to the reservoirs under the roof,
from which, by- use of the house, water can be
forced over any part of the premises in an instant.
In short, this establishment has been got up
without reference to cost, and it is the intention of
the subscriber to have it stand among the very best
Hotels in the country. He hopes to be favored
with a share of public patronage,
