Fire at the CapitoJ.-We learn from the Wash

Thursday night last, fire broke out in the Con-
gress Library Room in the Capitol. The flames
were soon extinguished. and we are happy to state
that the destruction of books was very limited being
entirely confined TO duplicate copies of documents
and state papers, which were deposited in the gale
~ where the fire originated by way OF filling up the
shelves. Some books were injured BY the water
from the engines, and by hasty remoyal-but the
loss is trihing. The fire was occasioned by the
careessness o! gentleman who was reading in the
Library till late hour, and who retired leaving a
candle burning near Of the wood pilasters. The
ceiling of the Saloon is partly destroyed and Of
the acoves- and the apartment is much scorched

An important instance of the effect Of the pardon
of,he chief magistrate in criminal case, has lately
heen decided before a. court in Pennsylvania. The
facts of the case are briefly these: John Bramson,
applicant for the insol, ent act, tried for frau
dulently conceaing property of his creditors, and
convicted of the fact sentenced TO undergo imprs.
onment for one year, and to pay the costs OF prose-
cu,ion. In the meantime, pardon was received
from The governor, and the legal operation OF that
pardon became the question to decide. The court
held that the pardon only affected the defendant as
lar as The public interest was concerned; 1t could
not interfere with the private rights Of creditors,
although it might, ii did in the present case, alb
roga,e the sentence of criminal court. The de-
iendan, deprived himself of the benefit Of the nso-
vent law by his own recorded misdemeanor. The
Court therefore, notwithstanding the executive par
don, ordered the defendant to his prison on the ex.
ecutons lodged against him.

bad not had his usual exercise in the
yard. The whole of what he consumed
in the course Of that one day amounted
to, raw cows udder 4 lbs. raw beef 10
lbs. candles 9 lbs.--total, IS lbs. be-
sides bottles ofpoter.
The eagerness with which this man
attacked his beef, when his stomach was
not gorged, resembled the voracity of a
hungry wolf; he would tear off large
pieces with his teeth, roll them about
bis mouth, then gulp them down. When
his throat became dry from continued
exercise, he would Intricate it by strip
ping the greese of candle between his
teeth; and then wrapping up the wick
like ball, would send it after the other
part at swallow. He could make shift
TO dine on immense quantities of raw
potatoes or turnips +; but by choice
would never taste bread or vegetable.
He was in every respect healthy;
feet3 inches high, of pale complexion,
grey eyes, long brown hair, well made,
but thin; his countenance rather pleas

perspirations were profuse, TO which DIR.
