ANECDOTE.

As Illustrative OF the republican shnphci-
y and character OF our citizens, the follow
;pg anecdo,e, which occurred in this city
some time ago. will bear ample testimony
An English dandy, just landed, ordered
suit of clothes 10 be made by one OF Our ia
,hiona'e tailors, which, by agreement, was
% be finished on a certain day. The gen
,lcman being disappointed, went to the
:ailor's and rated him sounGly for his ne
elect. Sir, damme, in my country, when
tailor disappoints his customer, we send
lin TO the devil. All! Yes, sir, don't say
n! am not 10 be disappointed with mpu-
nifty. AT that moment a person entered,
vho addressed the tailor as follows Al
,lerqnan, have petition before the Hon.
the Corporation relative to one OF the ave-
1ues, and should be happy if you would
Re present and attend 10 it. Very well, sir,
says the tailor, | know something OF the SUBJ
isct, and shall do so. Scarcely had he de-
parted before another one entered. lhaye,
said he to the tailor, placed a note in your
bank for discount ; | have not spoken TO any
other director but yourself-wili you use
Joar efforts 10 get i, done for me-? will
10 my best, said the tailor. When the last
person departed, a young officer in full dress
entered, whoaddressed the tailoras follows:
General, have come 10 receive your or
ders. The alderman, general, bank direc-
tor, and tailor, said in reply. very well, sir,
you shall have them, and you will take care
that the adjutant has the division on The
ground at the rrecise hour.
The Epgishman, who attended these in
terviews, very leisurely lifted up bis eye
glass, and having viewed the tailor from
top to toe, look his leave, saying, sir, you
may send my clothes home whenever you
please.
From this circumstance it will he seen,
that the avenues to fame, TO honor, and TO
ofhca, are open TO al! who deserve them in
this country, and that the mechanic, tramp
ling upon fictitious rank in society can claim
and obtain equelhonors by afsi,htuland cor
rect 'ischargc ofhis duty--and that tailor,
who is good citizen, cannot fail TO be a re-
spectacle man. NAL. .Adv.

This establishment had become interest.
ing from its central situation, and its apart
ments and attendance. Many eminent cha
racters have been accommodated TO their
satisfaction in this costly hotel. II was here
that the president of the United States, in
his late visit to this metropolis was enter
tanned. And there is scarcely populous
town in the union, but some of The inhabi-
tants of il have been occasionally ludgers at
this coffeeshouse-and many distinguished
foreigners have occupied rooms in it.
Tie burning Goals spread with the wind
TO great distance, and much endangered
buildings and other property which were
at first considered as not requiring atien-
ticp.
A four story building belonging to James
Prince, Esq. and adjoining the exchange
coffee house at the n. W. corner, was de-
stroyed by the fire.
Among the tenants of places for busi-
ness in the exchange building were Messrs.
Handy & Gibbs, insurance Office, Messrs.
Leverett, Whiting, Whitmarsh, Hunting
ton, Otis and Pritchard and the two in
dustrious colored men, Sampsonand Brown.
On Wednesday boy 10 or l2 years Of
age, slipped into barrel of beer which
was standing open among the burning ruins
Of the coffee house, and was so scalded as
to cause his death.
Much Of the furniture Of the exchange
coffee house, and many of the trunks, Sc.
belonging 10 travellers who had put up at
that building, are missing.
The light proceeding from these fires,
was distinctly observed by number Of
persons in the town OF NewbGryport.

TIE LATE FIRE AT BosToN.

lie Lilb tlhL Al BOSION.
Several additional particulars relative 10
this calamity, appear in the Boston pa
pers, The following extracts are copied
from the Palladium Of Friday morning.
which comprise most of the incidents
which occurred on this truly melancholy
event.
Til, rapidly Of the fire, under such pc
culiar circumstances. has never perhaps
been equalled by any conAagration excep,
that at the Richmond theatre.
II is said that during the fire, the front
wall, from heat, had become SO warped,
that part Of the top projected towards
Congress street, foot beyond the base /;
but the whole, in cooling, resumed its up
right position.
Mr.. Bsrnnm, the industrious, intelligent
andgentlemanly master OF the house, whose
system and manners had given general sa-
tisfaction, and whose prospects Of perma-
nent lucrative establishment had assumed a
most cheering character, has had all his en-
pectations blasted in a moment, aud is a
most extreme sufferer by this calamity.
We understand that Mr.. B. had I6,00c
dollars worth of furniture and has lost
5000 dollars worth of bottled wines.
The honorable Mr.. Clay had just enter
ed his room, on his return from Salem, when
the alarm Of fire was given. He carried a
small trunk to a neighboring house, and
then took station to hand water. The lat
ter part Of the night he lodged at the house
of Mr. Blake.
The ST. Johns Masonic Lodge was sit
ting in the hall at the north west corner,
when the fire began; and 70 or 80 men,
bers and visitors were present: but the most
direct communication between that part
and where the fire was, had been closed for
some time. Property Of the particular iodg-
es in town TO The amount of about 5000 dol
lars is supposed to have been destroyed
but most of their common property was
saved.
This large estate was the corporate pro-
perry OIL number of respectable citizens,
whose liberality nimproving the institution
has prevented their making any dividends
OF consequence.
The building was superior 10 any other
in The United States devoted 10 the same
public purposes. and its accommodations
we understand in some respects surpassed
those Of any similar institution in the world.
To its other distinguishing advantages,
the spirited proprietors had recently adj
ded large number of bathing Iooms-and
a considerable additional real estate was,a
short time since purchased TO form more

American, now in the West Indies-to

of South America, in Venezuela and New

times in the United states, where his talents

We are not sufficiently master Of the Ian.
guage to peruse this writ ng with entire
ease, and that off-handedness that we could
wish and the interest Of the subject alone,
could induce US to attempt 1t !; we have
locke d through il pretty generally, and our
familiarity with the subjects of which il
treats, enables US to give il a finger read
ing, from which we venture to say, that
there has not ye: appeared any publication
which throws so much light on the subjects
OF which il treats, nor on the various events
of the South American revolution, nor more
direct and extensive information on the
transactions between South America and
the United States.
We perceive, however, many matters OF
a curious and interesting nature, of which
we had no previous knowledge, which we
could dwell on longer if we were satisfied
that we could do il adequate justice, by a
transitional all events it appears too CO.
pious for a full publication in a newspaper;
though occasional extracts we shall certain
ly give, when we touch the topics TO which
it relates-bu' it is probable that if we can
accomplish with suitable aid, translation,
we may present il in pamphlet form to
the public. Some passages of this manu-
script are very eloquent end spirited, and
as far as we have dipped into it, we find the
frankness Of the soldier, combined with the
independence of sentiment. and disregard
%rsll considerations but truth and justice,
which become freeman.
