destructive Fire.-On Saturday egN
ming last, a few moments after 8 o'csd &
the alarm of fire was given, and bsa
any considerable humber Of people csdh
be assembled, one Of the Rope Walks II
the bottom Of the Common, was found
be SO far enveIoped in flames, as to dtk
any human exertion, in Immediately al
tiuguisiiing it. The wind being high add
blowing from the N. N. w. spread ths
flames aud smoke directly towards thG
open space, or front of the buiIdilgI
where alone any practicable exerIm|
could be made to stop the contlagration, ID
lis southern progress. The range d
Walks, which were contiguous 10 each
other, consisted Of five, three Of which
were totally consumed, together whit
principal part of their valuable contents
both of hemp aud cordage. They ser4
occupied by hfessrs. Henry Chapman
Co. Samuel Emmons, aud Edw ard Adam
Messrs. Chapman & Co. are presumeda
have lost from S to 10000 dollars
Messrs. Emmons, and Adams have Id
every thing they possessed by this uufSI
tunate occurrence. The Walk, occupied
by the latter gentleman, was, we believe
owned by Mr.. Penuel B. Rodgers. Tht
western outer Walk, owned and OCCUPIED
by Mr.. Joseph N. Howe, and the eastern
outer Walk, just rebuilt by Messrs. WHO
slow Lewis & Co. were preserved, Through
the persevering spirit and intrepidiy o.
the citizens, who, from the local situa
ton of the buildings, though SURROUNDED
by fire and smoke, had some space to
work ID, which was not the case, asi
regarded the three interior walks con
sumed. The damage sustained by The
Messrs. Lewis's, will probably not exceed
$1,000.

ii being well understood That they will he
dispatched from our coast under seal
ed orders. This circumstances has of course
given rise to a variety of co,jectures, as TO the
destination Of our little fieet.-One saws thew
are intended TO paIs along the Gulf and
thread the West Indies in search OF piratcai
crnzers; another that they are 20 steer to the
coast of Africa to aid in putting stop 10 the
Illicit trade in slaves and tlIid tina: they will
separate in certain latitude for different des-
tinati0ns, and that part OF the force will then
sail for liIr Pacific Ocean Without pretend
ing TO any further information than what is
communicated by mere rumour, we will not
submit an, opinion on This head, but merely
observe. that any of the above objects are of
sufficient importance to demand the vigiiant
attention of our navy and that the pr, sence
OF squadron, as for example in the Mediter-
ranean. has always had salutary effect, and
most likely 10 uphold our national honor, i'm
its pristine vigor; besides affordins an excel
Int school tor the requirement of nautical
knowledge and discipline, for our officers, so
liable 10 be contaminated by that inactivity and
Incidence inseparable from the iuduls OF
a home life, ard an absence from the element
where they are destined TO act upon.
