Yesterday morning, between three and four
O'Clock, this city was disturbed by an alarm OF
fire. The fire was found to have breken out in
new two story brick house, standing little
north Of ST Johns Church; and the building,
with an adjoining one, vas entirely destroyed;
We understand there was great scarcity OF
water; aud we believe The fire had made great
progress before the alarm was given. 1t Is
said that no insurance had been effected on the
property, and that the loss falls on two indus
trious men, who had built the houses gradually,
as they could raise the means. -

resort to next, it is hard at present TO predict.
They have, however, been thus far most truly
unfortunate in their selection Of subjects, as
well as in their choice Of lealers; and Judging
Of the future from the past, we may pretty fair
ly conclude, that party made up of such in
congruous elements and Earring materials, must
without some more fortunate cheftain than has
yet taken the field, soon dissolve through its
own inconsistency ana weakness.

As the task would be endless 10 attempt 4
correction of all the misrepresentation in
which the United States Telegraph has lately
so much abounded, we have generally remained
silent, leaving them to the Sure refutatlon OF an
intelIi zen: public Now and then we may give
\ sDecjmen of these misrepre sensations, one of
which occurred in the Telegraph Of Monday
last. Speaking Of the election of a President,
pro teDpoye, of the Senate, that paper observes:
tine Secretary Of State and two other mem
hers of the cabinet attended in person, and were
30 omen and undisguised in their efforts TO de-
Gea, this triumph of the republic party, as to
callforth the direct censure Of The pure and in
dependen, Senator from Virginia, (Mr. TAzE-
WE'LL" Upon inquiry, We have understood
that, according TO an usage which has long
preyaied, the President went 10 the Capitol
on Saturday evening, il being the las, 6Hsi-
ness day before the close Of the session, TO
expedite the public business by the reading
and signing the numerous bills presented Tor
his aporcbation; that, agreeably 10 the same
usage, the Secretaries attended 10 assist
him; and that, finding no bills ready for his
signature, they went TO the House, and at
rewards TO the Senate Chamber, where they
found that body engaged in bal!oting for Pre-
,idrnt, whose signature being necessary to all
bills the fact Of none being ready was s@thclcn'-
" accounted for We are further informed that
they had no knowledge whatever of the busi-
ness with which the Senate was engaged, until
thew entered their Chamber; that they respect
fully confined themselves to the seats allotted
them and 10 Others by the rules oil the Senate,
giving and receiving salutalions to and from
those who approached them: and that they ma
nifested-we believe we should be warranted in
saving that they really felt-not the slightest In
tcres, in the pending contest.

his back upon the Ancient Dominion, we per-

NeD dr SpccHiatiop.--A paragraph
from a Brighton Journal is now goine
The rounds Of the press, containing a
project for cheap and expeditions travel
lin by means 81 N artificial current If
ar, which IS 10 olopel passengers and
luggage through iabc OF nanel 1t he
rite OF one hundred miles an hour.
The principle of this invention differs
from that of the popEun,as the body is 10
he Shot on by the exhaustion of the air,
instead OF by the condensation of II.
We have heard of another project, by
which IT is proposed to blow the public
from place to place at a rate still moro
rapid, and in some respects more agree
able 10 the party as the traveller, in
stead of being shot through a close, dark
tunnel, will be forwarded through the
open air, and gratiied with birds eye
view of the country over which he
makes his momentary passage. Ger
tain large brass tubes are 10 be prepar-
ed at convenient stages OF Two miles or
SO. Into one of these a composition Of
an expansive power is 10 be rammed /,
and the traveller is then 10 creep in and
10 lie at his ease at full length, with his
feet next to tho composition the tube
being then directed to the next stage,
the composition is to receive its oXpan-
siye force, and the traveller is to be
propelled throgh tho air al a very slight
curve, at the rate OF about ten miles a
minute. On his arrival "a. he next
stage, he will Instantly be put mo ano-
ther tube ready charged with the traV-
cling powder, and again shot of bang
up to the mark al the next post; ana
so'he will proceed to his journeys en- i.
This cheap and expeditions travelling
through the air is proposed in opposition
20 the Brighton scheme for conveying
the public by hurricanes through tun-
ncls. The former will undoubtedly be
the least expensive and quickest mode
Of being blown home: but 1t is liable to
some objections. Invalids, too, might
prefer the close tunnel with the hurrl-
cane at their backs, to the more rapid
passage through the open air with the
wind in Their faces. But some prefer
the other, and thus there may be en-
comagement for both. The Brighton
scheme is in state of great forwardnes.
it wants nothing of completion but a
j. Mt Stock Company to create vacn-
nm n rhe pockets Of the public (the true
bags of UIysscs)---thoprinciplo on which
il proceeds being 10 raise the wind by
exhaustion. It's passengers will start
from The Swan with Two Necks,' a

,onal endownments essentially nccessa-
ry to the traveller who goes by this con-
