Is, that tile destruction is not SO great
as was ex0ecttd-for the burning shin
giles were waited through the city be-
fore the wind, and several houses were
several times on fire. The steePle OF
the brick Church, the Jail, and Scotch
PRESBYTERIAN Church in Nassau-street,
&c. were in flames several times.
The fire il the upper part Of the blick
Church steeple, was put out In most
miraculous manner, by sailor by the
name Of Knapp, who, at the risk of his
life, assembled the lightning rod, and
with water handed 10 him contributed
more than any other individual, in 5a-
wing the Church, and probably hun
dreds Of other buildings 10 the Ieward
Of it. This man viii be handsomely
rewarded.
Such was the confusion and CROWD
yesterday, after the fire, that il was i'm
possible TO obtain any thing like a
correct account Of the actual dam
age.
9The fire from its commencement
spread in the rear to Augustus street,
and in front crossed Chatham street,
burning both sides as far as Lorillard's
tire proof buildings, and within two
doors Of the Museum OH the opposite
side-went through Duane street on
the west side to William. street
thence along said street as far as Oppo-
site Rhinelander's sugar house levelI-
ing every house in its progress, being
principally frame buildings.
The calculation is, that about 90 te-
nements in Chatham street, Is in Au-
gustus street, IS in Duane street, and
10 in William street, have been des.
trOyrd.

LCIEUOOtk 4 TOCCCQLNISs
The following particulars Of the late
scandalous Transactions in Rehoboth,
are extracted from the " Providence H.
merican," of Tuesday last.
On the l8thin at Rehoboth, was
Witnessed a scene Of baseness, villainv,
outrage and despo,ism, unparalleled in
th7 history of the town. ON the Mon
day preceding, town-me citing was
holden for the purpose Of choosing one
or mere Repre-. e5ta,iveS to The Gener
AZ Court. Immediately after the meet
ing was opened, agreeably 20 establish-
ed usage, and the import Of the article
ID the warrant for calling the meeting,
on motion made and seconded, the vote
was called Tor to know how many repre-
sentatlveS the town would choose. On
one side Of the House, one was propo,
scd; on the other, five were proposed
and, in order to decide the question,
It was directed that all the voters who
were for choosing five should follow
Mr.. Nathaniel Drozyn and parade two
and two out OF doors, and keep their
stations until they were counted and
that those voters who were for choos-
ing but one should follow capt. Israel
Nichols, and parade il like manner, and
remain in their stations until they were
counted
On the first trial, though the num-
bers ascertained in manner above pre-
scribed, no decision Of the question
could be had, as the Selectmen refused
TO make declaration. Ii was then tried
the second time ID the same manner,
with this alteration, that each voter
should parade, taking BY the hand yo-
ter which was opposite TO him IL opin-
ION on the question then 10 be decided
and when they were thus paraded and
mated, all that had no partners to fall in
IN the rear in single file. This was
done and yet the Selectmen refused to
lsclAre decision Of the question,
though It was most manifest that the
voice OF the fGeemen was for CHOOSING
but one, as there were more than TWEEN
ty IN The rear without any voter In IA
YOUR Of choosing five, 10 mate them.
The fecmen feeling indignant At this
conduct and that the fair and unecui-
vocal expression of their viii was total
~ disregarded by the oeIectmen, mo
we'd % adjourn the meeting without dAy.
This was finally put and prevailed, and
the meeting was accordingly adjourn
cd.
Notwithstanding this expression OF
Inc minds Of the fgccmen, and il was
the fullest meeting ever before witness
SKI ID the town, the next day the Select
men issued warrant appointing a Sc
couI sOvn-meeting for The same nur-
pose as the former to be holden ON the
9Th last. at IL Of the clock I noon.

was opened in the usual manner, and
