AMERICAN SEAMEN.—By a report made to Con-
gress by the chairman of the Naval Committee (Mr. Reade)
it has been ascertained that out of 109,000 seamen sailing
out of the United States, only 9,000 were Americans, or a
proportion of Ito 12. The Ohio ship-of-the-line sailed from
New York on a three years' cruise, with a crew of 1,000 men,
only 182 of whom were Americans; and the Delaware went
to sea with a less number in proportion.

Yesterday morning, about half-past nine o'clock, a
fire broke out in the front-room second-floor at the residence
of Lady North, No. 24, Manchester-square. The flames were
in the first instance observed by two men who were passing
the house, one of whom ran for the engine, while the other
knocked at the door and alarmed the inmates. Tho con-
flagration was fortunately subdued without any further mis-
chief being done than the destruction of a bedstead, bed-
ding, and other articles of thrniture which were in the room
above alluded to. The origin of the fire has not been as-
certained.
