Sickness IN Baltimore Letters have
been received here from Baltimore,
which announce that the Yellow Fever
had again made its appearance in that
city; that it was Of the most malignant
type; that not one who had been attack
ed had recovered; that one of their
most respectable citizens had been a
victim to it (; and that it had been traced
to a vessel lately arrived there. from
Havana. We are therefore pleased to
find, that the Board of Health of that
city has paid prompt attention to the
subject, and has put the publick in pos
session of the facts as they exist there.
Although the Board appears to be i'm
pressed with the opinion, that the dis
ease is Of domestick origin yet, as it
frst appeared near the docks and
wharves, where foreign vessels arrive,
and as its origin is variously represent
ed, it cannot be doubted that those to-
whom the preservation of the publick
health is conided, and whose Boards
have been created, on the principle that
the Yellow Fever may be imported,
vii, without premature ruption of
the intercourse with our sister town,
take such measures as vigilance and
duty demand.

Fire IN Charlestown,-On Thursday
morning. soon after 9 O'Clock, an alarm
of fire was given by our watchmen and
tire-bells, which proved to have broken
out in a pile of large wooden houses sit
uated on the main street in Charlestown,
short distance from the square. The
conflagration was rapid, and our fellow
citizens were speedily reused from their
slumbers, and fastened, with their en-
gines and buckets, to afford their neigh
bours every assistance to arrest the ca
lamity. The buildings of the block
were SO effectually in flames soon after
the discovery Of the fire, that all at
tempts to save any part of them were
unayailing, and the exertions were d.
rected to the preservation of their con-
tents; but by the intelligent and spirited
efforts of the frewards and enginemen,
and full supply of water, the houses
on the opposite side of the street were
saved from impending destruction, after
their exterior parts had been often on
hire and were consumed. The block
destroyed consisted of three large build
ings, with stables and out-houses, extend
ing from Henley's lane to Mr.. C. Cen
tres store-where a wall, only one brick
in thickness, served effectually to stop
The progress Of the destruction in that
direction The Rev. Mr. Fay's meeting
house, standing within 60 feet of some
OF the buildings consumed, and wood
EN- house bounded on the alley within a
few feet of one of the houses burnt, were
by great exertions and precautions, saw
ed from any material injury. A fall of
sain on the preceding day, was proyi-
dental preservation to many buildings
which were at times covered with flakes.
The ire is supposed to have been acct
dentally communicated by a candle !; and
one of the sufferers, who lodged in his
store, escaped by leapiag from win
dow to the street.
The loss of the buildings is estimated
at 5 10000. The amount of other prop
erty lost is very considerable.
We do not learn that more than one
of the sufferers was insured. The poll
cy on one of the houses burnt expired
about Is days ago, and was forgotten to
be renewed.

BY gentleman of this county, who

one of the most shocking occurrences
that has fallen to our lot to record. A
man near St. Clairsville, who had his

person unknown, undertook to detect
the thief by rubbing arsenic over
piece of bacon, and leaving it in con-
venient place. The next day whole
family was taken ill in the neighbour
hood, and the wife and three children
of the thief had died, and all the rest,
consisting of two or three children, and

After the strangulation of the Pa

there are 10000 Monks; in the Morea,

part of the riches of the country. In

it is easy to imagine the dangers to
which the Porte has exposed himself

DOSAON, JOLI IO3 lO<
Fire.-On Saturday morning last, at
about half past 12 O'Clock, the citizens
OF this town were alarmed by the cry of
fire, which proved to be in Union-street.
The rapid progress of the flames, and
the extensive collection of old wooden
buildings on Union-street, and on Hat
ter's-square,, in the rear, threatened, at
the commencement, very alarming
conflagration; but the unprecedented
spirit and enterprise Of the gentlemen
hrewards, engine-men, and citizens gen
orally, fayoured by the weather, which
was very calm, succeeded in prescrib-
ing bounds to the destroying element.
We understand the fire commenced in
the wood-house, in the rear of No. 81,
Unipn-street, from which it COMMUNE
Gated to the adjacent buildings on that
street and on Hatter's-square.
1t is worthy Of particular remark, that
the new iron pumps, in the yard of
Messss. Grants, Union-strset, supplied
the engine, at the fire, with much great
er facility than usual. Water flowed in
constant stream as fast as it could be
passed IN the lanes, and the pumps were
worked with great ease.
