FIRE.

Tn Friday afternoon last, the large bark
mill, at the lanyard of Mess. Ezra Kinzev
&CO. was destroyed by FIRE, together with
very large quantity Of dry bark, sc.
which were stored therein. The fire, one
OF the owners of the property requested
Us to state, occurred from the Careless
ness of coIored boy in using a seear in
the mill, and about which he had been
before cautioned. Principal loss in the
mill estimated at about $500 or SIS 900.
Several of the buildings in the vicinity
caught fire at different times, but were
saved by the use of the engines, which
lad very promptly arrived at the fire,
although 1t was OH the extreme suburbs
OF the town.
ii being found impossible to extingnisb
the flames arising from the immense
quantity of dry bark in the mill, it was

PECUNIARY EMBARAssMENT

From the New ork Statesman June ia
We learn from an intelligent gentle
man, who has just returned from Boston
that the pressure of the times and CONS
mercial distress, which have lately been
felt III thst city, are greater than have been
experienced at any period since the revo-
luton. Our informant showed US a lis,
of failures, comprising twenty five or tbir-
~ houses, some OF which failed for large
amounts. Al the morning meeting Of
the merchants, the whisper went round,
who had stopped payment, and who were
expected to stop during the day. The
banks had become alarmed, and refused
TO discount; and, to add to their distress.
the notes OF the banks in the vicinity Of
Boston would be received in no other
way, than on deposits OF specie or Boston
bills. The New England Bank is said to
have acquired an unlimited control over
the credit the city and its doors were
thronged with applicants for current mo.
ney in exchange for notes from the neigh.
bouring banks. Heavy losses have been
sustained 10y the partial failure of the Ban.
gor Bank, III which several of the Boston
merchants were interested. We are sor.
ry to learn, that at period of SO much
distress, when there should be a mutual
sympathy in mutual suffering, there is
apparently strife between N. York and
Boston, "which can do each other the
most injury" 1t is said that specie is
constantaly passing betN the two cities
obtained by runners upon the banks and
the retaliation is sometimes so rapid, that
On one occasion gentleman remarked, "it
would be unnecessary to knock the hoops

hand Of Bonaparte. The identity of the

lutionary war. There is memoir on the
improvement of the Turkish artillery.
and various fragments on the campaigns
OF Italy. But what may be considered
as most worthy Of attention is, the plan of
the FIRST Spanish campaign, as dictated by
BoDaparte to Junot, afterwards duke Of
Abrantes, on which there is an immense
number Of marginal notes There are
also some very curious pieces, containing
various secret projects relating to the
frontiers Of France and Austris, which
hitherto have rot been disclosed.
