The following account of the dreadful fire in Charleston was issued from our office on Satur day evening, in an extra, since which time we have received no further information, ns the cars do not run on Sunday. Awful Fife sta CJisrifsloit!! Wo learn with the deepest regret, by passen ger* from Charleston, who arrived hero this eve ning by the Carolina Kail Komi, that the city of Charleston has been visited by one of the most awful and destructive fires that has ever visited any city in the United States. ONE J HIRI) OF THE CITY WAS LAID IN ASHES at the departure of the cars this morning at six o’clock, and the Jirc was raging as ij it would consume at least one third more. The fire broke out last night at a quarter past 8 o’clock, in a Paint store, on the western side of King *t. corner of Bercsford st. The wind blowing strongly from the South West, blew the flames diagonally across King st. and at the time of the departure of the ears lire whole section of the city above Bercsford street, up to Society street and East of King street to the Day was burnt down or burning. From Betesford 1 to Society, are four streets —from King street Jo the Boy about as many or perhaps more. The fire had also extended four or five blocks West of .King street and was still progressing with terrific rapidity up that street in the direction of Bounda ry street, when the Cars left. Our informant believes it impossible lo calculate what. .will be, the ultimate extent of the fire as it scerr.ed in no way chucked at 0 o’clock this morning. Among the buildings consumed arc a number ol Churches —the New Theatre, the splendid, mew Hotel recently erected and the whole inur ‘ket except the Fish market —Nearly all the large' merchant* in the centre of business on King street were burnt out —among them Parish, Wi ley and Co., C, and G. H. Kelsey and Co., Do rsum and Co. and all in that neighborhood, and the large store house of Miller, Kipley and Co, .on the corner of King and Society streets was 1 catching the flames when our informant left. The Merchant*’ Hotel, formerly Miot’s.hnd not caughtr but it was believed lo be impossible to save it. At Norris’s, Hotel, still higher up King street and on the West side, they had removed all the furniture and bedding in almost certain anticipa. 4ion of being burnt out. A large number of houses had been blown up, to no purpose. All the powder in the city was ‘• exhausted,and all the water in the pumps, and the people wearied with a whole night’s in cessant and unavailing toil, found themselves, ' this morning, able to make but a feeble resistance -to the still raging and devouring flames. A num ber of person* had been killed by the blowing up ’ of houses anil throwing furniture into the streets. The Steam Boat Neptune, lying in tho Day .caught on fire, but it was fortunately extinguish ■fid 1 . , The trunks directed to this office, and to the Constitutionalist office, from the Newspaper offices in Charleston, failed to. come this even ring, us we presume no papers wore primed there last night ; and as the regular mail was closed \ last night fie ■« tho fire broke out, no other in-t f irrigation hai: been received here, than that from (intssengcrs, which ia necessarily limited as to particularp.i;. This is indeed a mournful catastrophe! A flourishing city laid in ashes^—her people burnt * ,out of home and substance, and millions of pro perty destroyed in a single night! The Insur ance Companies of, Charleston wc learn arc of. ispiall capitals, and will every one no doubt be ruined, and still be unable to make good but a small portion of the losses. Hundreds of famil ies must be utterly ruined by this general calam ity—Yeats cannot make Charleston what she was. , P. S. Since the above was written wc have been shewn a letter, from Charleston, closed a lit tie before 4 o’clock this morning, and brought up by a passenger which confirms all the impoitant fact* stated above. It also slates that tho rigging of many of the vessels lying at the wharves had 'been burnt. W» received a letter from a friend in Savan nah, dated Saturday, wlu c h says that Lizard was I victorious in the long expected Doat race he- I /.ween.the Lizard and Star.

SAMUEL HALE, Chm’n. , Andrew J. Miller, Scc’y. Correspondence of the Baltimore Chronicle. f WASHINGTON, April £5., 1838. Hluir in a Scrape. It now turns out that the Clerk of the Duel Committee, without any other order ,(Jian that of a portion ot the Committee, employed Blair to j print thejournSl’bf proceedings, day by day, un der the usual oath of secrecy. Blair, without any color or shadow of right, gives publicity to the resolution, he was sworn to keep secret, —and in the meantime prints off some thirty or forty thousand of the proceedings, and the repott thereon, for circulation in the Extra Globe, pamphlet form, and otherwise. The House are just beginning to find out this precious little bar gain between llte Committee and Blair. In the first place, no authority to procure the print ing of this document was ever given to the Con vention by the House, and if there had been, it would have been ordered that the regularly elect ed Printer of the House, Thomas Allen, should do the work. Symptoms of a snarl, or I greatly err. We will see. Dreadful Fire. i A dreadful fire broke out this morning between i two and three o’clock, on the block bounded by St. Louis, St. JoakiiH, St. Anthony and Cuncep. * tion streets. It originated in a kitchen occupied by negroes, and belonging to Mr. Samuel Hop. I kins, and completely destroyed tire whole square, a Among the buildings lost were the large stable of Wm, R. Hallelt, occupied by Mr. Marlin, and , the dwellings of John S. Kemsen, lames inner- ' arity, Mr. Irwin, of the firm of Talcottand Irwin, < Isaac B. Codings, George H. Byard.and others whose names we could not learn. In all tin were ten houses burned, exclusive of the stables. There was no insurance. It was apprehended at one time, that the square v north of the fire would he lost. If Col. Walton’s v large dwelling hid caught, there is no doubt that c the whole of the upper portion of the city would n have been swept into complete ruin. Happily, however, by constant effort, it was preserved. We 0 have never seen fire spread with such fear.uj ra- a pidily, and, ever and anon, a blast of wind drove g before it vast volumes of liamu and smoko and cinders, blinding the spectators and inducing ap prehension for the whole of that beautiful portion r of ihe city. t There was no water to bo obtained nearer than o the river, and the delay attendant on conveying it so far precluded the possibility of subduing the flames. The firemen, as usual, were extremely ‘ I vigilant, but their mu-t strenuous efforts wore not very effectual to prevent the loss of property. c In (he early part of the conflagration, Alderman , Kemsen freely offered his dwelling to be torn down, if it would be of any benefit. Wo observed that several individuals, who re- t fused to tender assistance at the order of the lire.. a wardens, were sent off immediately to the cala boose.—. Mobile Examiner, of the A'h.

In the Senate, to dav, The Hill supplementary to on ael to amend an act for the appointment of a Board of Commis sioners or for extending the time of the session of a Board of Commissioners was taken up and dually passed. A report was received fiom the Secretary of the Navy giving an account of the Navy Pension Agents, and the Pension Agent Fund.

Laid upon the table. The resolution reported some days since from a Select Co r mittee exonerating the Hon. John Buggies fropi any improper conduct and from certain charges made against him was, on motion of Mr. WHI TE taken up and agreed to without debate. A hill to establish a Board of Commissioners for the settlement of Private Claims was before the Senate for several hours. The Senate then adjourned. The House after the reading of tire Journal, took up the report of the duo!. The question still being on the notion of Mr. Toueny, us made upon the unanimous request of the Committee to print the report and to preserve its consideration till Monday week, Mr. SLADE renewed arid concluded iris re marks on the subject. He rose in favor of re-fn commitment of the report,* * Mr. FOSTER of New Yoik replied at Iffnglh ta the gentleman from Vermont. Mr. I LLI CHER of Mass, rose and asked some questions of the Chairman of the Commit tee, in regard to the course taken by tire Commit tee. Objections were made to this question and alter some conversation. The Speaker said his attempt had been to limit tho debate to the ques tion and had prevented any allusion to what took place in the Committee. Some allusions had however been made before lie could possibly fore see their bearing. He could not permit any al lusions to these proceedings. Mr. GUAVfiS said that at this late stage df the debate the discussion would not lui hoped Ire limited. It was his wish to speak at Urge upon the queslion before it was finally decided, ami ire did not wislr to be limited to any narrower range of discussion than had been taken by others. Mr. FLETCHER moved the question which he had asked, and proceeded upon the subject. Ho wished the House to he put upon some course that was practicable and would lead to some sa . a lutary result. Tho resolution as it now stood, ,j could lead to no such result, without a postpone- r ment he wished it now to put in some shape in which the House could act upon it. 1 Messrs. BELL and SERGEANT spoke at * some length on tho subject contending that the ft report was irregular. s' Mr. BOND said before ho could vole ire must iV hear the report read. HecaMedfor the reading the report, Mr. BELL objected to tho reading of ll trie report. —It was not necessary to the under standing of the question now before tho House. ® 7ho SPEAKER said it was a well settled rule 0 | that no member could he compelled to voto upon m any paper without having it read. Upon the de* 8‘ mandofony member tho report must he read. J" The report was then read in full, and the House (hen adj ■ 'rned jyj_ ■ !

All laid on the table, and ordered to be printed. fat A number of bills from the Senate were re, sal ccivc d and referred to the appropriate committee. a<l Among them was the hill to prohibit the issue jjJf and circulation of the old notes of the Bank of Lo the United Stales. Il was read twice by its title in and referred to tho Judiciary Committee. The unfinished business of yesterday was then taken up;—being tho motion of Mr Toucey to print the report on the majority of the Select Committee on tho lato duel, and postpone the |f)| consideration till Monday after next. , w | i Mr TOUCEY rose to address the House 0 11 dal tho general subject. ‘ lisl But Mr WISE interposed ; and reminded the ; 00 ; Chair that the testimony on which the report! j.j r was founded had nut been read ; and since the cvr reading of the papers had been insisted on, he ,0 I would now call for the reading of tho whole. Tho Clerk was then directed to read all the | j_ j evidence, which ho accordingly proceeded to do. j This tes imony is very long, and tho reading } a v was a most tedious business.

The Commissioners to negotiate the recent State Loan of Tennessee, are now in this City —also several other agents for Michigan and ither states coming for a like purpose. They neet with a good deal of difficulty in their no mtiations. This arises from the want of me tier turn, caused by the mismanagement of our ■ anks.

It is now jirelly well ini’ dorslood among the immetaiji circles that ihe speculation of sending bullion to the United Stales has failed, as we predicted, in consequence oi the advance in the exchanges in that republic upon this country, and the redueiiou of the pre mium upon silver and gold. The Lank of Eng land direction have, therefore, determined as wc understand, not to Ibrwaid the amount of bullion to the United Slates which they contemplated *- sonic three weeks past. We believe that they* have not shipped more than one fourth pail of the sum they intended—6oo,ooo/., and that they have paid forfeit freight for that which now could not he sent without a serious loss. In this matter the liank direction are consi dered to bo perfectly correct, inasmuch as it is held that it would be inconsistent with their duly | i to their proprietary to attempt lo compete with I 1 '5 10 " ‘ld schemes of Mr Diddle, ol the United Slates Lank, who seems, it it may bo judged from bis late transactions,, to have adopted thoi uniquitous and dangerous character of merchant, or general dealer and hu.ik.-r. —Alornin * Ha ul,I.

The Lattcry was ihron- ! arr ged yesienlay morning with thousands of persons ! mil ot both sexes, assembled to look on tlie Stilus, the the vessel which had crossed the Atlantic by the pui power of steam, as she lay anchored near at hand,' h ® gracefully shaped, painted black all over, ihe wa- ! ter arounql her covered with boats filled with poo- p„ r pie were passing and repassing, some conveying * an I some bringing I nek those who desired lo go ah'-ar-!. An American seventy four in one of i \ j the portlx of the Mediterranean, or of .South Bcc | Ameiica, would hardly ba cunounded with a th • j greater throng of the natives. n ‘ " 1 n ' rt L ■ IB, ‘ kmmiwi . , ~ii i‘iq > arrriM'iiii~---r-' - nmn h 'WjTi ’ I When the Great Western, at a latoi hour, was | wen ploughing her way through the waters to wants the city, a prodigious mass, blacker it p os .

I It seemed, m fact, a kind of triumphal entry. ' \ , problem of the practicability of establish. “ j j*Js,'y regular imeicoiirso hy steam between Eu ( ro P‘ ; a, ’d America is considered to be solved by i the arrival ot those vessels, nolwkhsianding the t calculations ot certain ingenious men m England, [at the head of whom is Ur.

That the working I ut a aicele ;.tc;ualwill cost more than the na- I vig.dion of ti vessel wiili suds is clear enough; b-l( it is In he considered on the ...her hand, that ill consequenee of tho increasn speed, and the greater reguluiily with winch the voyages will be made by s earn, asmallei number of vessels will he necessary, nnd dins a saving of capilnl will be c(.ecte.l. '1 huso who me familiar with ra'enh tmiis.ot this sort cun pcrlmps arrive nt it pridiable solution ol this question—or perhaps it must bo Ml to longer experience to supply materials for a correct,decision. At all events, wo congratulate the public dial the question is now in a lair way of being settled. In 11 1 0 mean time, however, we most not as sent to the not ion that *• Drilish skill” bus now lor [lie first time ellee.led the passage of the At lantic by steam. The steam ship Bavanin>li, built bv Francis Fiekclt of ibis city, mid com mtinded by Captain lingers, went twice i 0 En rope, and made a vast circuit of navigation. B'hu went In .Stockholm, to Bt. IVlcr.-b irg, and nfn r wards visited < 'nnstunlinoplo. 'J’lie practicability ol die undertaking was. in fact, already provide.) by “A iiieriean skill”—the. qnosdon new to be sellled is its economy nnd its superiority to the ii-in.l mode ol navigation, and ibis we admit will be, due to Drilish niterprize. I'rom the N V. Cum. ,4.1e. April ill. Arrival ol tho steam Ships. A new era in Atlantic navigation dates from this JJd ol Apiil, on which we, have the pleasure of rucording the arrival from England of the Uri - tish steam packets Sirius and 4ireal Wcslern, in die extraordinary passages of 1? and 14 days. The Sirius came up early this morning, and the (heat Western was announced to ho in sight at about 11 o’clock—We learn from passengers on board the Sirius, dial her performance ns a sea Ima. dm ing „ very stormy and trying passage; lias been most admirable, end such as fully to I equal (lie highest expectations of her owners end j coinmnmior. Although a largo vessel—very nearly equal in tonnage to our Liverpool packet ships—the fcJiri ".V s 1,111 11 pigmy I'oinpnred with thu great steam ship, the “Drilish Queen,” of IS9O tens, which was to he launched soon after the tailing of the sinus, and belonging to tho tamo owners—ti e "Lnlish and American Steam Navigation p.im pfilly, —-which was entered upon this groat busi . ness with ri strength ol me ins and a liberality of ovpendilt re promising the most splendid and pro fitable results. Tho “Drilish Queen!’ is said to he nmastpieo o naval architecture—of most beautiful model nnd extraordinary sfrcnglh and solidity. I he builders, Messrs. Curling and Young, have had carfe-hhutofui, we understand, for cvciy tetpiisite to security against the ilio perils of ocean navigation, ns well in point of exponse as ol time in building.—lmmediately after launch ing she was (o betaken to Glasgow, to receive her engines, yyliich have been constructed hy Napier, who ranks among the first in England. In a word we are prepared to see in ibis great vessel Ihc tie /ilna ultra of naval arcliilecturu. h* *>.■•.ivwraa/ -.„--n --t MAimiEIJ, In Ibis cily yesterday morning, by ibn Her. 0. Mr. llkniiv I).
