ex.nguished. At half past nine O'CLOCK last
night, two wooden buildings in Fultoh-stTeet,
between Greenwich and Washington streets,
occupied as grocery stores, by Howell Hoppock
and David iIusiaee, were considerably damug-
ed by FIRE. For short time the appearances
at this fire were very threatening. Immense
volumes Of smoke and flame poured forth; and
from the combustble materials Of some of the
ncighboring dwellings, we at one time feared
the destruction Of the whole block Fortn-
naiely, however, tho proximity of the river,
furnished an immediate and an abundant sup
ply Of water. and the activity Of the firemcn
arrested the flames before they had extended
to a confagration. There is no doubt what
ever Of the mischief having been occasioned by
design. The fire was first seen issuing from u
small building, in the rear of the above, 'front.'
ing on a vacant lot, from which buildings had
been removed. - Com. Ado. lT

ScuRRILfrY. A late number Of the Co.

ono of tho most low and vulgar assaults on
the moral and political reputation of our Rep
resentatiye in Congress, the Hon. Mr.. Burgess,
that we have ever read. Its predominant fta-
tures are falsehood and detraction. and both
are clothed in language which is rather loo
vile to be expected even from the most abn-
doned of the lower orders of society. The u
ter worthlcssness Of wretch who could pm
such an article, is so manifest to us, that we
decline offering any defence in behalf of Out
From the nature Of the
whole essay. and from the facts stated in it,
we are satisfied that it was written by some
one residing in Providence, and politically and
personally hostile TO Mr.. Burgess. If this be
the fact, We hope that the incendiary will be
detected, exposed and punished as his infan,
deserves.

ha, taken place. The House Of Representa-
tives were taken by surprise on Saturday, by
the unusual course Of Mr.. S. Wright. evident
" the result Of concert and consultation, in
moving a vote of thanks TO the Speaker. Such
a resolution. at the first session of Congress,
unless where the Speaker resigns his station,
is entirely without precedent. II is true' that
the leaders Of the opposition have omitted no
opportunity, during the session which has Just
terminated, Of expressing their universal and
unqua lifted contempt of precedents and IN
this case they have given another practical
illustration Of that feeling The Speaker has
ce,tainly merited tho thanks Of his party.
Those thanks he has received. But the peo-
pie may be as much at loss as we are, to
discover any extraordinary merit in his course
or ability in his decisions, which should call
for so extraordinary mark OF appreciation.
Did the opposition party in the House consid-
CT it necessary to direct and fix public opn-
ion on the subject! Did they desire, by this
course, to awe the people into that admiration
which they might not voluntarily express
Was it intended to convert the voice Of the
nation into mere echo Of party acclama-
ton We are justified in supposing that some
such motive led to this move ement, because we
are utterly al a loss to perceive, in the career
OF the Speaker, any Of those indications of
mental superiority or political magnanin,hy,
which, of themselves, would be sufficient TO
warrant this novel proceeding.-Nat. Int.

The Friends.-Wo learn that at the great
annual meeting Of Friends commo only called
Quakcrs, the whole society divided, leaving a
large majority in favor Of the religious views
Of the followers Of Mr.. Hicks. We have not
been able to ascertain the points which divide
this ancient and respectable fraternity, but un-
derstand that one side, lthe minority SUPPORT
the old principles of christianity, while the new
lights, or majority, believe in the inspiration
Of Christ but not in bis divinity. These are
strong dividing points, if such they are.
RKMARKs.--We copy the above from the
New York En- quirer. ard regret 10 say that
tho information it conveys is perfectly cor
rect. We cannot too sincerely lament, that
a society Of people, who for nearly two hun
dred years, have been cementcd by the bonds
Of brotherhood and generous sympathiss,
should at this late hour. become involved in a
schism, which cannot fail to promote the
worst of consequences IN the end. The party
attached to the opinions OF Elias Hicks is 'aid
to be far the most formidable in the cities Of
New-York and Philadelphia. The opposer' Of
Mr.. Hicks, charge him with propagating ddis-
tical prineiples'
II is gratifying, however, to discover that while
the FRIENDS, are engaged in q Theological
dispute, the angry passions arc not displayed;
and though they differ, they quietly bear their
CROSSES, and abstain from those virulent and
crImonious denuncIations Of one another,
which have too often scandalized tho contro-
versies Of Theological disputants.
