Fire ! j | We stop the press to announce that this morn- j ing about half past two o’clock, pur were ; aroused by the cry of Fere. Tl. : e flames issued j from the stable ot Mrs. Brisbane, occupant of the t western tenement of a woodei| building near the | Theatre owned by Mrs. Postal, and the eastern 1 tenement occupied by her. | j The stables were soon in a Joi |ze, and unfortu- ' nately, from the want of wateL i!he roof of the re- 1 sidence of Mrs. Posted caugli, an! when we left | the scene, (near four o’clock) jthp Firemen were, with manly exertions, quellinjj t|it flames: their supply of water l>eing more aijuiidant. The stables of Col. Hunter un 1 of Mr. N. W. J Bulloch will consequently le ? rescued from the destructive element. jf About an hour before this lire broke out, there was an alarm given by our vigjlahtxVight Guards, which was caused by an incciijlisiry attempt to de stroy the lute residence ofMrsf. Ljourke, on Bryan street. 5 I Shavings were left by the \inlkmcn, who had l»een repairing the edifice, jianially consumed seme months since, and somejof: these were col lected in the piazzi and set »*i fjrc. One of the watch having diSicqvcrd the flames, j the fire was extinguished wit!? li“lle injury to the i building, it not having progressed sulficently to j cause the ringing of the bell. ? These two alarms exhibit tlifc- presence of in-j cendiaries, and our police cannot- be too vigilant in ferreting out the wretches. Two widow ladies have bet-n deprived of house • and home by the vile deeds of these monsters in human shape. i Mrs. PostelTs loss has been! somewhat allevia ted, we are happy to learn, b|/ an insuiance on her properly, and the furniture of both ladies was mostly saved without injury.

The Florida |var. Mr. Proflit, ot Indiana, ha.^given the public a little insight into this stupend !ms piece of villainy, both in hisseat in Congress, inti elsewhere. He charges upon the Government agents, the crime of purchasing coffee for public use at seventeen cents the pound, and ufterwarjU selling it to them selves at six cents ? He dec»-.srj»s be is ready to establish the fact, that public*agjenls in Florida have bought sugar at twelve cr-nn per pound, and afterwards sold it to each olhdr -or three! If the House will but furnish him jv’ith authority, Mr. Proflit is ready at a moment \c prove, not by as sertion alone, but by the fact;' substantiated, that steamboat wood has been puifcbased at New Or leans and transported to Foitlllrooke, in Florida, at an expen c of sixty-five dollars per-cord! when an abundance of it was growing within sight ol the fort, which might be übtamed at the price of cutting ! During the year 1837, there were chartered 11 I vessels for the Florida war, 35 of which were steamboats. Several of these were chartered at §450 per dap and for sucessive weeks they la}' idle and unemployed. In many instances, we have been assured by a gentleman : of unimpeached ve racity, who formerly resided jn Florida, and who was there for some weeks last' winter that entire steamboats had been paid for in a few weeks, at the enormous rates at which the Government hi red them. —Troy Mail.

In Master Humphrey’s (Jljkk.by Coz, we find the following characteristic ol our old friends, Samuel Veller and hits father. The old one appears to have the satire honor of widows as ever. | Being very full of Mr. Pickwick’s application, and highly pleased with the compliment he had paid me, it will be readily supposed that long be fore our next night of meeting, I communicated it to my three friends, who unanimously voted his admission into our body. Wje all looked forward with some impatience to ffie occasion which would enrol him among us, hat I am greatly mis taken if Jack Redburn and ifiyself were not by many degrees the most impajient of the party. At length the night came, find a few minutes alter ten Mr. Pickwick s knock was heard at the street door. He was shown into a lower room, ami I directly took my crooked stick and went to accompany him up slants, in order that he might be presented with all jin® formality. “Mr. Pickwick.” said I or* entering the room, “I am rejoiced to see you-J-rt joiced to believe that this is but the opening pf a long scries ol visits to this house, and but |tho beginning of a close and lasting friendship.’;; 'The gentleman made a suitable reply with a cordiality and frankness peculiarly his own, and glanced with a srni!c towards; two persons behind the door, whom I had not ut» first observed, and " Hum I immediately recognised as Mr. Samuel Weller and his father. » it was a warm evening, but the elder Mr. Wel ler was attired, notwithstanding, in a most capa cious 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 ius top-boots with some difficulty. His broad brim hat he held under his left arm, and with the ore finger of his right hand he touched his forc icad a great may times, in acknowledgment of my presence. I am very glad to sec you in such good health Mr. Weller,” said I. “Why thankee sir,” returned Mr. Weller, “ the axle an t broke yet. We keeps up a steady pace not 100 sewere but with a moderate degree 0 iriction—and the consecens is that we’re still a runnin and comes into tire time, reg’lar. My son r-amivel ssr, as you have read on in history, added Mr, Weller, introducing his first born. I received Sam very graciously, but before he could say a word, his father struck in again. “ Samivel Veller, sir, ’ said the old gentleman, “ h as conferred upon me the ancient title ©’grand father, vich had long lain dormouse, and wos s’posed 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 in he would smoke a pipe unbeknown to his mother.” “Be quiet, can’t you ?” said Sam. “ I never see such an old magpie!” “ i hat ’ere Toney is the blesscdest boy,”— Mr. Weller, heedless of the rebuff, “ the blcss edest boy as ever / see in my days ! of all the charmin’cst infants as ever I heard tell on, inclu din them as wos kivered over by the robin-red breasts after tney 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 settin’ 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 I’m grandfather”— to sec 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 lake a pint pot if you was to make him a present on it, but he gets his 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 of coughing, which must certainty have been attended with something fatal, but for the dexterity and promptitude of Sara, who, taking a firm grasp of the shawl just under his father’s chin, shook him to and fro with great violence, at the same time administering some smart blows between his shoulders. By this 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, Bum,” said Mr. Pickwick, who had been in some alarm himstf. He’d do sir f” cried Sain, looking reproach fully at his patent. “ 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 us if he’d brought his own carpet with him, and was under a wager to punch the pattern out in a giv en time I He’ll begin again in a minute. There he’s a goin’ off—l said he would.” In fact, Mr. Weller, whose mind was still run ning upon his precocious grandson, was seen to shake Ins 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 mote alarming be cause unaccompanied by any noise whatever. These emotions however gradually subsided, and alter three or four short elapses, he wiped bis eyes with Ihe cufTof his coat, and looked about him with tolerable composure, “ Afore the Governor withdraws,” said Mr. Weller, “ there is a pint, respecting vich Samniv has a q vest ion to ask. Vile that qvestion is a perwadin’ this here conwersation, p’raps the genTmen viil permit me to retire.” “Wot are you goin’ way fori” 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 tothedro ver ven they wos goadin’ him into the butcher’s door. The tact is, sir,” said Sam. addressing me, “ that he wants to know somethin’ respectin’ that ere lady as is housekeeper here.” “Ay ! What is that 1” “ Vy, sir/’ said Sam. grinning still more, “ ho vishes to know vetber 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 ihal “ my housekeeper was a spinster.” “ There!” cried Sam, “ now you're satisfied. You hear she’s a spins-ter.” “A wotl” said his father, with deep scorn. “ A spinster,” replied Sam. Mr. W eller 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 1” demanded Sam, quite aghast at the obscurity of his parent’s speech. “Never you mind, Samivel,” relured 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 of ’em; that’s got nothin’ to do vilh widders.” “ Vy, now,” said Sam, looking round, “would any body believe as a man at his time o’ life could be running his head agin spinsters and punsters being the same thing.” “ Therearn’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 .n jvidge 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: “ I was a goin’ down to Bir mingham by the rail, and I wos locked up in a dose 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 conwcyance, that that ’ere widder didn’t marry me afore ve reached the half way station. —Ven I think how she began a screaming as we wos a goin’ under them tunnels in the daik—how she kept on a faintin’ and kitchirT 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 a 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 times, to return any reply to the question, whether he approved of railway communication, notwithstanding that it would appear, from the answer which he ultimately gave, that he entertained strong opinions on the subject. “ I con-sider,” said Mr. Weller, “that the rail is unconstitootional and an inwaser t/ priwilegcs 1 and I should wery much like to know what that ere old Carter as once stood up for our liberties, and won ’em, too—l should like to know wot he vould say if 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.at point o view alone, the rail is an inwaser. As to the comfort, vere’s the comfort o’ sluin’ in a harm cheer, lookin’ at brick walls or heaps o’ mud. never cornin' to a public house, never seein’ a glass o’ ale, never goin’ through a j ike, never mcetin’ a change o’ no kind (horses or otherwise) but always cornin’ to a place, ven you come to one at all. the wery picler of the last, vilh the same p leesemcn standing about, the same blessed old bel! a ringin, the same unfort’uate people stand ing behind the bars, a wailin’ 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’ travellin’ vere can that lie vithout a coachman; and wot’s the rail to sich coachmen and guards as is sometimes forced to go by it, l)Ut 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, for five hundred thousand pound a mile, paid in adwance, afore the coach was on the road ? And as to the in- nasty, wherz-n’, crciking, gasping, puf fin, bustin’ monster, alvays out o’ breath, vilh 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 sonciblest thing it does, in my opinion, is, ven there’s somethin’ in the vay, and it sets up that ’ere frightful scream, vich seems to say, ‘Now, here’s two hundred and 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 i ble hospitality.

'i he undersigned propose to publish in Augusta, , Ga. a weekly paper, to be entitled The Reformer, extra imperial size, from the 10th of May to the 10th ot November next, for One 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.EU, of Virginia, for V ice President, and the subversion of the present Administration, —the necessity of relorm in which is be oming every day more and more apparent. — It will 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 Buren presses, and carry the “war into Africa.”— In the language of a distinguished co-worker, “All we 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 wiil contain nothing but leading 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. TERMS.

There are two elegant dining saloons, the floors of which, as well as the spacious halls in the first and second stories, together with the reading and other public rooms,are paved with Italian marble. I’here is also an extensive and pleasant room fronting upon Broadway, fitted up lor a Ladies’ ordinary, and tlie ladies are provided with attractive public parlors, and a private en trance to the Hotel frem Maiden Lane. The subscriber having fur nine years past re ceived a liberal patronage from merchants, and 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 bis bouse so con structed as to he ab'e to serve meals to such at early hours. The hours adopted for meals are as follows, viz : in 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. Printed, 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 I y appreciated by a generous public, and that a commensurate patronage will result therefrom. 1 his House possesses every convenience that the subscrioer 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 liouse in the city. In addition to the many advantages and comforts over most Hotels, it lias 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 lower part of the city, adds very much to the safet' of the establishment in case of a fire on or near the premises ; a power ful force pump being attached to the well to force water therefrom, as well as from tlie 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.
