Fire tn Bostoa.-.On Tuesday evening last,
at o'clock, a FIRE broke cut in Tue atti6k
story Of the Exchange Coffee House, whmh,
before 10 o'clock, was reduced to " heap
of smoking ruins"
This edace, which was more than three
years in building, and cost nearly $500, GOO,
covered l2,753 feet of ground, and measured
1872 feet on the north and south, and 81 on
the east and west fronts-and was seven sto-
ries high. II contained, besides the halls,
rooms and chambers improved by the land
lord, as boarding house, an extensive Read
ing Room, large Masonic Hall, in which
The Grand Lodge OF Massachusetts and several
subordinate Lodges held their meetings
Offices improved by the British Consul the
Phenix Insurance Company the Aqueduct
Corporation four or FIVE Exchange Brokers
an Attorneys Office two merchants Coun-
ting Rooms-a wooden draper, tailor, grocer
! and hair-dresser. These were all burnt out
and much of the effects they contained. The
| loss Of the subordinate lodges is estimated al
.3000--the jewels, regalia and records o.
the Grand Ledge were providentially preser
| we'd. The furniture and provisions Of the
Landlord are estimated at 24,O0O-part O
which was saved From The Exchange COT
fee House the fire communicated to bull
ding in Devonshre- street, improved as a
Printing Office and stores, which burnt dowr
and although it communicated TO many
other buildings adjacent, it was extinguisheC
without much other damage than what tn,
tenants were subjected TO in removing sud
denly.
The whole anount of property lost b
this conhagratiou, is not stated-but when W.
take into view the compact situation Of the
buildings, the harrowness of the streets, an,
the immense property it became necessar,
TO remove, among which were eleven Prin
ting Establishments, it must have been very
considerable.

chosen by Gen. Lallemand for his military camp,
is a town, containing near 500 houses, occupied
by Indians and Spaniards, called Trinity, distant
from St. Antonio, in the province of Mexico, a
bout 100 leagues. The number Of Lallemand's
followers still keeps increasing, by the addition
offugative Frehchmen, who find an asylum in this

post their surplus prize goods the produce ofthe
w Indies, at this spot, between whoUu x the new
settlers the most friendly intercourse subsist."

lating chaffery Of avarice and ambition,
for money or for rank. Aud as neither
love nor friendship has any concern in
the contract, it is no wonder that neither
love nor friendship should ever after
spring up and bless the union.
9. Amongst the lower classes many
rush into marriage improvidenhy, or
without being furnished with any compe-
tent means Of supporting family. Pow
erty aud want follow of course. Their
own suffering is aggravated by the suffer-
ings Of their little ones: and they look
back, with deep regrets, TO the compare
tive comforts Of their single life.
Lastly, there are those of the baser
sort, who, BY reason Of the perverseness
of their tempers, or the pravity of their
hearts and yiciousness of their lives,
would needs be wretched in any condi-
ton. AS husbands and wives they are
mutually fend-like tormentors, if equally
matched; or if yoked together unequally,
the connection proves the sorest OF Ca
Iamities to the better party.
And yet, after making all these deduc-
tons, it is unquestionabfy true that more
than a full moiety OF the social comfort
enjoyed in this world, is the fruit oil
marriage. In it the extreme cases, either
way, are comparatively few. OF married
men and women the most, by far, are
made neither very happy nor uery wretch
led by this connection. Between these
two extremes there is an intermediate
class, immense in numbers, who, though
they constantly experience a mixture O
good and evil in the connubial state, will
perceive nevertheless, upon fair est
mate, that the good considerably prepon.
derates.
One. observation more, and shall
conclude. The surest basis OF connubia
happiness is genuine piety. Wisdom,
as observes venerable sage in the Apoc
raphy, " is loving spirit" The wisdom
that is from above is peaceable, gentle
aud easy to be entreated. The humility
the meekness, the benevoience, the gen
Itleness, of real christianity, and indeed
the whole body Of the christian virtues
when heartfelt, and acted out 10 sincerity
do directly and powerfully tend to sweet
en- the trials and multiply the comforts o.
those who are partners together in mar
riage; while the hope of meeting 10 &
better world, g strews their path to the
grave with flowers

Society have already had missionary

still extensively seen, have been especial
ly in the view of the Board, and for years
past exeriions have been made 10 re-estab-
fish mission among them; but, as the
Board have been unable to succeed in this
aud as that field was occupied at the COM
mencement Of the past year, they deter
mined, for one year, to try what could
be done for the destitute in our own re-
gion. Accordingly, at the first meeting
of the Board, after their appointment, the
following resolution was adopted
RcSolved, That the Board will turn
their attention, through the ensuing year,
to the destitute places within the bounds
of the society, and parts adjacent"
To carry this resolution into effect, at
he same meeting, committee was ap-
pointed to ascertain suitable missionary
stations, within these bounds, and look out
for missionaries to be employed on such
stations. At subsequent meeting, this
committee recommended TO the attention
of the Board the following places, as in
their view, important missionary stations,
viz: Decker-town and its vicinity, as
one; -Fonndland and Long Pond as
another, and the city of Jersey and Ho.
boken as third. The Board immediate
ly took measures to obtain missionaries for
these places, and they have employed aud

two missionaries, while third is engaged

He commenced his mission on the 5th Of
the same month, and has continued to la

The labours of this missionary have been
signally blessed. Within a month after
his mission commenced, God began to
pour out his Spirit on those places, and
since that period the Lord has done won
