YALE COLLEGE. We are sorry to learn
that serious misunderstanding has arisen
between the Principals of this respectable
institution and portion of the pupils, which
has resulted In open rupture, and the with
drawal OF nearly one third of the scholars.
The circumstances ofthis unfortunate occur
renee, we hear, were these: The scholars
had become dissatisfied with their fare at
commons, and several times petitioned for
an improvement. At length some of them
refused any longer to partake, and in viola
ton Of the rules, withdrew from the publck
table. Four of these delinquents were ex-
PEELED. This being deemed an act of inius
tice, remonstrance was got up and signed
by one hundred and forty-four of the schol
ars, demanding the reinstatement of their
fellows, and threatening in case of refusal to
withdraw in body from the College. The
Faculty could not, without relaxation of
their laws, comply with this demand and the
resolution of the scholars was carried into
effect on Saturday. About forty of them ar
rived here yesterday morning on their way
to their homes. A good deal of excitement
prevails at New Haven on this subject

Destructive FIRE. A fire broke out
about IL O'Clock last night, in the livery
stable, as is supposed, of Nathaniel George,
No. AS Laurens street, in the rear of a block
ofhouses between Broome and Grand streets,
The flames spread with great rapiditv and
were not got under until they had occasion
ed great destruction. On Wooster street
Nos. Al, 43, As, AZ, 40, 81, and SO, all of
them new two-story brick houses, were con-
sumed to the ground. On Broome street.
No. 4S3, wooden building, with 489 and
49l, three-story brick buildings, were Who'll
ly consumed, and two other houses much
damaged. grocery at the corner OF
Broome and Wooster streets were nearly
destroyed. On Laurens-street Nos Al, 46
4S, so, SO and 81, all new two-story brick
houses, together with wooden building in
the rear, were burnt to the ground.
! The fires which within a few months past
have taken place in this city, have proved
more than usually terrible and destructive
Whether this is owing to the fact that the
proportion of firemen being smaller in com.
parison with the population than formerly
or to the greater ingenuity and activity O

great difficulty with which the fremen haC
to contend in the fire of last night, was the
scarcity of water, owing to the late DIR,
weather. We are happy to learn that NJ
accidents occurred in getting the fire undeI
The buildings we learn were mostly insured

e IMPORTANT LAW CASE. The questlc

A before the Supreme Judicial Court. tn
d question is an important one, not only on az
s count of the amount of property immediate

posed to have on the security and perma
