AMERICAN NEWF.

ARRIVAL OF THE HIBERNI
LIVERPOOL, MONDAY MORNING,
SIX O'CLOCK.
The following are extracts from the papers brought
by this arrival :

DEATH OF ASHER ROBBINS.—We learn by the Providence
Journal that the honourable and venerable Asher Robbins
died at Newport on Sunday evening last, at the advanced
age of eighty-eight. He was a most distinguished
citizen of Rhode Island, and was equally the ob-
jact of esteem and respect for the purity of his per-
sonal character and the eminent usefulness of his public ser-
vices. He was for fourteen years the representative of his
State in the Senate of the United States," of which body,"
as the the Journal justly says, "his profound learning, his
ripe scholarship, and his classical eloquence, made him a dis-
tinguished member."
FIRE ..—The alarm of fire last night, between ten and eleven
o'clock, proceeded from the steam-boat Gazelle, plying be-
tween this and Piermont, in connextion with the Erie Rail •
road, lying at the foot of Duane-street, which was much da-
maged before the flames were extinguished.
The fire in Brooklyn last night, about eleven o'clock, was
No. 61, Fulton street, occupied below by John Herbert, as a
grocery, and up stairs by Mr. Shaw's tailor shop, and law-
yers' offices; the upper part was destroyed, and the gro-
cery completely deluged by water. Mr. Frazier's stove ma-
nufactory, at 59, caught fire, but was put out without much
damage.
Monmoss.—The .Warsaw (III) Signal says that the Mor-
mons at Nauvoo are in a state bordering on starvation, and
yet hundreds are flocking thither.
FRESIIET IN THE CONNECTICUT.—The recent warm weather
and the rains have caused a very considerable rise
in the Connecticut. "On Saturday night," says the Courant,
"the water at Hartford rose about eighteen inches, and was,
on Sunday evening, sixteen feet above low-water mark. On
Monday it rose about twelve inches more. The ice above
the bridge made a move, but soon stopped again. The ice is
said„to remain firm at Pratt's Ferry below. Below Rocky-
Hill some six or seven miles above Middletown, the river is
said to be open. There is little doubt that in a short time
the navigation will be open to Hartford." .
PURE MILK AND RICH CREAM—One of the blessings con-
ferred upon this city by the Erie Railroad, is the inexhaustible
supply of purest milk and cream which it for ever secures
this city at reasonable prices. In our columns to day, will
be found an advertisement from the Orange County Milk
Association, to which we invite attention.
The Post-office Bill has passed in Committee of the whole,
in the House of Represenatives, with only one amendment of
any consequence, the rates are fixed at five cents under, arid
ten over, three hundred miles. This will doubtless pass the
House and be at once concurred in by the Senate.
The mail bag stolen at Albany has been found. Part of the
letters only had been opened, and it is ascertained that none
of them contained anthiny of value.
The Governor of Connecticut has appointed Friday, the
21st of March, as a day of fasting, humiliation and prayer, in,
that State.
