PUBLIC MISFORTUNE !!

A few minutes before 10, the alarm of fire was
sounded--and broad glare of light to the west
indicated the fire to be in that d;Tecton.-Our
prophetic fears we're reaized-and the extern
sive range of buildings constituting the State
Pententiary rapidly exhibited a tremendous
sheet Of flames. The effort to save the buildings
was idle.
The ere engines were hurried to the spot, and
a crowd of citizens were collected-but the ex-
ertions were confined to saving the convicts,
some Of the public property in the front centre
building, and few Wagons, ploughs, &c. under
sheds without. Few OF the goods in the centre
building, comparatively, were saved.
As far as we have asce stained, all the convicts
were saved. The turkeys who slept under the
building, were able to unlock the upper rooms
and those who slept IN them rushed through the
front gate. A few of the lower cells had not
been unlocked-and by the most laudable and
vigorous exertions on the part of our fellow cti-
zens, through the outer wall, or by cutting the
grating out of the windows, four wretched be-
ings were dragged as it we're from the tomb into
life.
The whole of the building was consumed. No
part of the brick work fell. The Penitentiary
was in the form Of semicircle, the two ends Of
the semicircle, connected by range Of wall with
a large house for the keeper in the line Of the
range. In the interior, was a large central
building for workshops. The fire began 10 this
central building next to the east side Of the sem
icircular building.
1t is suspected that the fire commenced in a
shoemaker's shop, where sometimes 90 or 25
worked at once. A strong suspicion is enter
tanned that the fire was the effect of design and
that possibly some of the workmen may have
contrived to smother up some fire according to
this suppositon, it must have been more than
three hours before ii burst out. But all conjec-
ture is baffled for the present
The loss TO the Commonwealth is severe
scarcely less, at very rough guess, than $780,
600. II will be question, whether the Legis-
lature ought not be called to provide against the
consequences of this calamity.
There were 244 convicts in the building-of
these, II or IL were women. We have this mo-
ment learned that 242 have been counted-2
sick supposed to be in the vicinity Of the prison

There are few things" says DR.. johnson,
:" of which man thinks 50 seriously as his din

probably felt with him on this interesting occa-
sion. 1t will soon be seen that the remark was
strongly suggested to my mind, by an unfortun-
ate arrangement of this days plans.
AS Andover was out of the direct line of my
route, | was compelled, to use military phraseol-
ogy, to make aretrogade movement upon Bethel
and take new departure from that place. It
was beautiful morning in August that left An

valley was rolling up the sides of the hills, as
Stunning MANY fantastic shapes, g. sun the clear &
unclonded above, was drinking up its unsub-
stantial pageantry and giving me the assurance
of glorious day. 1t was Sunday, the farmer
was resting from his toll and at every house, the
the children and their parents in neat attire
seemed conscious Of the great event which the

The last letters from the Turkish frontiers,
viz from Semlin, of the third of June, make men
ton of reports which have been spread after the
arrival of the Tariars in Belgrade, to the effect
that the Turkish feet soon after it quilted the
Dardaneles, had been attacked by the Greek
feet, and very roughly handled; that the Greeks
had even cut off the Captain Pacha with a
frigate and three br;gs. The Tartars are sta

statesman 70 bis country has occasioned some
speculation in the public prints We perceive
it is reported in ~ York, thathe is TO be the sue
cessor Of the present Secretary Of the Navy, and
the National Advocate assigns the reasons which
il is supposed would operate on the mind Of the
President in making this appointment Agree
ing entirely in opinion with the editor Of the
Advocate, that" the democracy Of the country
would rejoice in the return Of such man to the
Councils of the Nation, and not doubling but our
worthy chief magistrate entertains the same
sentiment, it may be proper to state that It il
not probable that Mr.. GALLATIN will be the sue
cessor of Mr.. THOMPSON. His present purpose,
we apprehend, is retirement to the shades of pri-
vate life.
