The last advices from Venezuela and vi
cinity, mention, that owing TO the rainy
season, all the military operations had been
suspended: that the patriots had retired to
their strong holds on the Oronoke; and the
Spaniards were cantoned in the Caracas.
Bolivar had removed himself, or been re-
moved, from the head of the revolutionary
army, and had assumed the civil authority
at Augustura. General Paez, an officer OF
great experience and courage, had taken
the chief command of the army, with gen.

mander of sthe La Pique, that the amount
saved from the Tay, was about 43o,ooo
dollars. and that the charges OF the govern
ment at Havana would be 72.oO0.l
I'VE have been favored with Demarar'
paper of july 8, which contains the conclu-
sion of the trial of number OF English sea-
men, on charge Of piracy. The names
mentioned are, James Alexander, Peter
Bennett, Samuel AlIbrook, Samuel Medley
and Henry Bloomfield.
They were part OF the crew OF the Span
ish American armed brig Royal Alricano,
(part of her men shipped at Charlestonl
which sailed from Havana and Amelia, in
1916, reported to be bound to Africa
Not long after sailing, Gas appears by
statement published in an old Demarara
paper, signed by one M'Rinnen) muiiny
took place, headei by M'Kinnen, End OIL
Ger, in consequence, as twas alleged, OF
her having plundered several American
vessels. The American and Spanish cap
tains, nth ten others, were sent adrilt, and
M'Kinnen took command. The remaining
crew, according to his account, being sent
on plumber, he endeavored to keep out oil
the way of merchant vessels, but falling in
with an English ship, bound TO Demarara,
he, (M'K. went on board, and concerted
measures with her commander, toprevent
her being robbed. He sent ten men on
board, slightly armed, who were secured,
and he overamtd the rest, Gao in number
While M'Kinnen was on board the ship,
consulting on the best port TO carry the brig
into, the latter made her escape, with an
officer and one man OF the ship on board
The eleven who were on board OF the Eng
lish vessel, were carried into Demarara, IN
October, 1916.
The ship had only one gun-the brig
mounted eight.
The above five men appear to have been
brough, TO trial early in July last, as BrI
fish subjects, on charge Of having con-
Quoted in a manner tending TO SHOW that
they meditated plundering the ship, when
they first came on board, and before board
ing. After full and patient hearing, they
were acquitted July 3; but on the 18th, all
OF them were again brought up for trial, on
an indictment for misdemeanor, founded
on the same case Of piracy.
Alexander and Bennett were found gull
ty-the remainder acquitted.

element in our borough. Yesterday after
noon. little before o'clock. column
of smoke was seen to issue from the roof OF
General Taylor's new team mil, and IN
few seconds the flames burst forth in all
their terrors. A large concourse OF citizens
hurried to the scene of conhagration. but
there was no possibility Of saving the build
ing-the whole roofwas in blaze. They
burst open the doors, however, (Which were
all locked) and rolled out about 81 runche-
ons of kiln-dried meal, by which time, the
flames having spread TO the lower parts oil
the building, they were compelled to aban-
don it. Providentialy perfect calm pre-
vailed, and by the active exertion OF the CT
tizens and the l. Up of two engines, which
were brought to the spot with all practical
bic expedition, the fire was prevented from
communicating to the brewery OF Mr. Nc
QuilIm, which was within 90 yards OF the
mill, in which event the conaagration must
have extended to Main-street, and the des-
truction of property would have been very
great. But we are sorry 10 state that two
frame houses belonging TO the estate OF Mr..
Jas. Williamson Zone OF which was occupied
as ship Joiner's shop, by Messrs. Lemuel
and Robt. Langley, were so contiguous TO
the mill, that it was impossible to save them
Neither Of them were insured.
A small building, formerly occupied by
Mr.. M'Quillan as a dwelling house, was
also partly consumed and partly demolish-
ed; and large frame warehouse, owned
and occupied by Mr.. Robert Soutter, was
barely saved from similar fate.
The mill had not been in operation for
nearly three weeks before, and the doors
were kept constantly locked, except the
one in the rear, which, as shed was about
being erected on that SHE, was closed with
boards nailed across. The only conjecture
as to the origin OF the conaagration is, that
some diabolical wretch had entered at this
door by tearing of a board, and deposited
fire in the garnet of the building. There
was no other property in the mill (besides
the machinery, which was costly but a
quantity Of kiln-dried meal in punchesns,
which, we believe, was all saved. The
mill-house and machinery were insured.
