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 ted, wc are happy to learn, by an insurance on her property, and the furniture of both ladies was | 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 proper at Washington, who, borne down with! sickness ! and poverty! ! appeals to the public for ALMS.— Alexandria Gazette. 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 During the year 1837, there were chartered 111 vessels for the Florida war, 33 of whit|i were steamboats. Several of these were chartered at slsoper day.' and for sucessive weeks tijbj lay idle and unemployed. In many instances, v;e have been assured by a gentleman of unimpeac|ed ve racity, who formerly resided in Florida, asd who was there for some weeks last winter thaiynlire steamboats had been paid lor in a few wfteks, at the enormous rates at which the Government hi red them.— Troy Mail. i i Born a Veteran.—“l am a veteran |n the caused democracy.

Un this hint i>ne of our exchange papirs tells an anacdote which is much to the point. i r noisy Loco Foco recently offered himself in 'Jleniies sec, as a candidate for some petty office, an I while addressing the people, and speaking largely of himselt, ail at once he paused, raising hunbelt on his toes, and pawled out, “I sucked denbcracy from my uwthyr’s beast.” An old soldier who stood near him, and knew all about the jnatler, responded as thought, ‘ It is well you did m|t such your dudy, for ut was a Tour.” —Boutin At las. | Galls from tiik Harness or Saudlel—Ma jor Long, in ins well written and ot his expedition to the Rocky Mountain t says that his party found while lead, moistcnes with milk, to succeed better than any thing i»Ue in preventing the nad effects of galls on their worses' backs, in their fatiguing march over thcfplmns that bordered on the mountains.

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.

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, june 2—6 t D. D. HOWARD, VALUABLE LANDS FOB SALE IN GREENE COUNTY.
