ALARMING FIRE AT WATERFORD.

About the mill:Ile of Friday night,* fire was discovered
In the work-homer, or erre cower** of Mr. Jo/sa Hickey,

Corporation F.nginvs. The Ermines were in good order,
and were admirably worked, under the snaaa,fement of
Mr. De blurry. Mr. tieurge Wright, High Lonstab'e,
, was likewise very active and highly useful. The Fa-
I gine of the Chamber of Comtnerce, and that of the
Brewery of Messrs. Davis, •.trangtnan and Co. were like-
[ wise soon upon the spot, aml rendered most essential
service. The Second Veteran Battalion, oar garrison,
behaved, uniler Capt. *Pherson and the other Officers,
• with that order and active regularity which well set eff
the character of the Veteran Preservers of the country.
A party of the P.lth laucers attended likewise and were
; very effective. All classes of Citizens exer ed emulously

, was so confined, and so subdued, that the Dtvellin4
i !louse of Mr. Hickey received no injury, and the datnagtt
Isuslined by the netghbonrhood was of little mauler...
This fortunate event was so unexpected. that most of the

' the wind, which had blown rather fiercely, down to eleven
o'clock, had ahnost entirely ceased. We have not heart
lof any personal injury whatsoever. Mr. Hickey was a!-

cense of the tire is not known.

Reconnra or Duatim.—Wlien our paper was pnt-
tii.g to press, the Election was proceeding with great
vig.mr ; there was a majority of 17 to 4 in favor of
Mr. Greene, in the Hoard of Aldermen ; he was ac-
cordingly sent down to the Common Connell, where.
we are !tied to learn, there appears to be no doubt of
his Election.
