here on Sunday last from Southern posts. We learn
that the troops are well at the various posts. Indians
have shown themselves at Indian River and Fort
Lauderdale, but escaped.
Lieut. M Lauehlin, in I . S. schr. Flint, has gone
to Havana for bloodhounds. He intends operating
by light canoes built in South Carolina, in the i’ai
hai-okee; and the dogs will be available in scenting
among the Islands which are said to be in the grass
water.
The Table Key will be the depot for operations bv
Lieut. M'Laughlin, and will be garrisoned b\ Lieut.
Sloan’s Company ol’Marines.
The brig Star, bound to New-Orleans, was w reck

FIRE IN NEW ORLEANS.—We are indebted
to the N. O. True American, for the following extra,
dated Tuesday, Feb. 11,9A.M.:
ST. LOUIS EXCHANGE DESTROYED.
The St. Louis Exchange, with its magnificent
dome —cost $1,700,000 —is, nt the hour we write,
one mass of ruins. The fire broke out this morning,
nt half past four o’clock, in the filth story, from the
sparks escaping through a cracked chimney. The
keeper of the hotel had been show n this flaw in the
chimney, it is said, some days ago.
At five o’clock, it was seen that the fire was raging
between the slating and plastering, and that it could
not be arrested.
The alarm was now general, and the lodgers, main
of them barely escaped with their clothes, so rapid
was the progress of the flames.
About six o’clock the great ball room fell in with .
tremendous crash.
At eight, the lofty dome of the rotunda was on fire,
the flames mounting to an immense height.
While we write, the buildings on the opposite side
of St. Louis-street, fronting the Exchange, are begin
ning to bum. Where the flames will be arrested it is
hard to say.
The Citizens Bank, in the rear of the Exchange, it
is hoped will escape, as it is fire-proof and stands se
parate from all other walls.
The whole cost of the Exchange w as $1,700,000,
and it is under mortgage for sl,-100,000.
The Improvement Bank, to which the building be
longed, has in circulation some $900,000 in bills, and
scarcely any specie on hand. The New Orleans In
surance Company of this city, and The Phoenix, of
London, have small risks. There may be others, !
but we cannot stop to ascertain.
The loss of this building will prove disastrous in
the extreme to the Ist Municipality. The rotunda ’
was the most magnificent structure of the kind in the
Union.
From the N. Y. Commercial Advertiser.
NEW BRUNSWICK.—We have before us the
St. Johns Gazette of January 30th, containing the
speech of Sir John Harvey, at the opening of the
Parliament of New Brunswick. It contains, howev
er, very little that can be interesting to readers in this
country.
The Lieutenant Governor informs the Parliament
that measures are in progress for a canal to connect
the Bay ofFundyand the Gulf of St. Lawrence.
Some of the frontier battalions of militia have receiv
ed a certain degree of training, in view of possible fu
ture contingencies, and for a portion of the militia
force suitable uniform clothing has been prepared.
The only allusion to the boundary disputes is that
made in the following paragraph :
I will not conclude this address without expressing
to you the confident expectation w hich I entertain,
that the result of the exploration of certain parts of the
disputed territory which lias been made by commis
sioners rppointed by her Majesty for that purpose,
will enable her Majesty’s Government to advance
such propositions to that of the U. S., as the basis of
the settlement of the mwmentous question involved,
as must lead to its early, amicable and final adjust
ment. In the mean time I would express my hope
that sentiments of moderation and forbearance may
prevail on either side.
THE DEER AT THE FALLS.—We learn
from a correspondent at the Falls, that the Deer
which attracted so much attention the other day by
bis voyage down the river on a cake of ice, was on
Saturday driven from his place of refuge, and forced
to take the tremendous leap. He was frightened frog)
the Island, on which he had remained so quietly for
the last week, by some persons coming on the ice that
bad lodged on the head of his island, and between
that and Goat Island. Seeing these unwelcome
guests invading bis quiet abode, he retreated to the
farther side of the Island and leaped into the rapids.
After swimming about twenty rods tow ards the Can
ada shore, he tacked about and swam directly for the
precipice. He was instantly dashed down the per
pendicular height of one hundred and sixty feet, yet
.came up to the surface of the water alive. He made
several attempts to swim but in vain. Overcome by
the plunge and chilled by the coldness of the water,
he finally submitted to the mercy of the current. He
is still to he seen floating in an eddy at the foot of
Goat Island.— Buffalo Journal.
RAILROAD IRON .—lt seems, from a report
made by the Treasury Department to the House of
Representatives, tbit the amount of duties remitted on
iron imported for railroads and steamboats, exceeds
the very large sum of three millions and a halJ.of dol
lars. This, certainly, gives some claim to the Uni
fied States to require that railroads sh uld transport
.thepublic mail upon better terms than they transpo i
freight or passengers.
Mr. Richard Hildreth has sued us for7'we«Zy 'J'hott
santl Dollars damages for expressing our belief that
he is insane! If suing a printer for $20,000 is not
sufficient evidence that a man is crazy, there is no use
in having the Worcester Hospital.— Boston Post.
The Attorney General of the State of Michigan re
ports that there are forty-three Banks in the State,
against which proceeding have been instituted to pro
cure a dissolution of their corporate rights, and that
thirty-four of these owe the public an aggregate in
debtedness of more than a million and a half of dol
lars.
An old maid eyes a single gentleman with the same

NATIONAL CONVENTION AT BALTI-
MORE.—In ihe convention to assemble at Baltimore
early in May next, for the purpose of 'nominating cmi
ditates for the Presidency and Vice Presidency, South
Carolina ought to be represented. Georgia is mov
ing in this matter, and surely our state has as deep an
interest in this subject as any of her sister states. W ith
the election of the next President is connected matters
of great moment to the South. There w ill be ano
ther tarili controversy, mid there are other subjects in
agitation, in which this section of the Union has mi
abiding and powerful interest. It will not do for
South Carolina to manifest an indifference on such an
occasion. The South will move in almost an undi
| vided phalanx for the re-election of Mr. Van Buren,
: and the more decidedly it manifest this disposition, in
the initiatory measures, the more assured will be the
| moral effect of' such a manifestation on the other
I states. Apathy in this matter may result in conse
! quence* perhaps to be h< reafter regretted.
Charleston Patriot, 13th iustuut.
NORTH EASTERN BOUNDARY.—The
Philadelphia Sentinel, of the Sth instant, savs :
“ It was rumoured at the Exchange last evening,
on the authority of a gentleman from Washington,
that Air. Fox, the British Minister, had transmitted
to the Secretary of State, the itlfimahim of the British
Government relative to the boundary question.”
THE LICENSE QUESTION.—The Hartford
ff ounccticut) ( ouricr say s :—“ Most of the tow ns in
this state have followed the example of Hartford in
allowing the free sale of wines and spirituous liquor.
Several tow ns that had passed resolutions entirely
prohibiting the gale, have since called tin clings, and
reversed that decision. Among these arc Wethersfield,
Bolton, and Manchester.
REN IS, Ed C.— Ihe Boston Times says, there
were never known so many houses “ to let” as there
are now in that city.
Ihe New i ork » attler says, that not less than one
thousand families will relinquish hotise-ke: ping there
in the spring, unless rents fall from the present exor
bitant prices.
In Baltimore, the Sun says, rents will be reduced
very materially this season.
SINGULAR COINCIDENCE.—The repeal of
the Massachusetts license law was carried by a majo
rity of 123—the same by which the bill was originally
passed.
A DESPERATE FELLOW.— A rogue at the

The United States Bank cannot pay its own debts;
but it lends the state of Pennylvania 400,000 dollars
upon condition that the state will allow it to go on
without paying, and suffer no penalty therefor. Ne

How many young ladies are there who would be
mortified to the last degree, if a frill or a collar, or
other parts of their dress were displaced, but who, on
being detected in ignorcnce even in the history of her
own country, would own it without a blush?
The Philadelphia Banks have agreed on the Ist
day of February, 1841, as their day of resumption,
and scut a deputation to Harrisburg, to endeavor to
persuade the Legislature that an earlier day would be
ruinous.
The National Intelligencer, of the 13th instant,
states, that the chain bridge across the Potomac, at
the Little Falls, has been entirely carried aw ay, ami its
timbers have floated down the river.
INDIA COTTON.—A Bombay paper of Octo
ber 16th, received at this office, says —“ We under
stand that the Court of Directors have engaged twelve
Americans to proceed to this country for the purpose
of improving the cultivation and cleaning of Cotton,
and that they may be shortly expected to arrive at
Bombay.— Jour, of Com.
z\ FACT.—We clip the fallowing from an ex
change paper, and without any comment present it
to our readers :
“ If a dealer have any articles of w hich he wishes
to make a quick return, and consequently is willing
to sell at a small profit, be is sure to advertise them ;
but if lie mean to make a large profit out of his custo
mers, he is generally rather sly about it. Ladies and
gentlemen who have their eye-teeth cut, never trade
at a store where they do not advertise.”
At a fire in Boston, which happened some time
since, a foreign gentleman, observing the resolution
and activity of the inhabitants in extinguishing the
flames, observed to another, that Satan would not act
with his wonted cunning if he admitted any Bosto
nians into his dominions. ‘Why so?’ asked the other;
‘because,’ replied he, ‘ they would, try to extinguish
the blaze.’
An American clergyman having been dismissed
from his pastoral charge, was soon alter visited bv the
new installed brother. He received him with great
politeness, and conducted him to an observatory .011
the top of his house. The commanding prospect ex
cited devotional feelings in the visitant. ‘ Brother,’
says he, ‘from hence you can look up to your heav
enly Father.’ ‘Yes, replied the other, and ‘ from
hence I look down upon yon.’
Os 105 fires in the city of New York, between the
23d of May, 1838, and the 21 st of January, 1840, the
Fire Commissioners report that they believe 54 to be

GOVERNOR OF VIRGINIA After eight
ballotings in the Legislature of Virginia, T. W. Gil

Governor of Virginia.
GOING BY STEAM.—The whole number of
steamboats arrivals at St. Louis, during the year
1839, was 1175, comprising a tonnage of 190,441
tons.
FIJNNY POINT OF DISCUSSION.—We per
by the correspondence of the Star, that a new matter
ol disco ion had arisen in England, as to the manner,
form, and words by which the Queen of England is
to be married. The ritual of the church of England
makes the wife promise to “ loye and OBEY” the hus
band. Now Prince Albert is to be one of the Queen’s
subjects, and we miss our estimate of the character of
\ ictoria if her husband w ould not be her subject any
how, queen or no queen. This matter has given rise
to quite sei ions and protracted discussions among the
quidnuncs; and we do not see how they managed it.
However, it is all settled before this time ; and all the
ladies in America arc anxious to bear how.

, AUGLS rA, I'eb. 20. Colton: Our market for
the past week has been very dull, and the business
transacted has been only to a limited extent. The re
cent intelligence from Liverpool, and the unfavor
able advices received from markets on the seaboard,
have discouraged buyers, who are withdrawing from
tho market daily. On the other hand, planters ap
pear to have arrived at the “ sticking point,” and
are not willing to sell at present prices—most of them
are withdrawing their cotton, and giving instructions
to their factors not to offer it for sale, unless 8 cents
can be obtained. The receipts of the week are light,
and the greater part of that received has gone into
store. Our stock at the present time amounts to
about 25,000 bales, in Augusta and Hamburg. The
sales from warehouses during the week were 1,210
bales. We quote as the extremes 5a 8 cents.
I'n ights: The river is again getting low, but at
the present time it is navigable for steamboats up to
the wharves. Freights are dull—to Savannah, $1
per bale ; to Charleston per railroad 50 cents per 100
lbs. for round, ami 40 cents for square.
S.W ANNAII, I 1 eb. 17. Colton: Thvdemand for
upland the past week has been good, and a larger bu
siness done than any \veek previous this season; but
the scarcity of shipping has caused tbearticle to lower
iu prices. The sales will reach about 7,000 bales, at
prices ranging from 5 to 9.l—principal sales, 7| to
8L in sea island, the sales have been considerable,
at prices ranging from 18 to 27 cents.
