 Erp3osion Gna i,oss Qj ilvss.--is most distressing occurrence took place yes terday a lliiie before one . clock. at the powder magazine at the extreme east cru verge oi the city. The building lately coutaincd abont lf0 kegs of pow der, which being deemed unsafe, was removed during Tuesday aud yesterday morning to the magazine of Fort Wayne, with the exception of about l5O or 900 pounds damaged, that was emptied into a lfrice tierce the coop- ering of which, 1t is thought, elicited q spark, and caused the whole to explode. The concussion was felt in all parts of the town, and an immense cloud of' white smoke soon explained he cause. The building (briek) was driven to pie ees, and fragments thrown in every di- .rection to the distance of two hundred yards and, we lament to say, every per son within 1t five in number. as far as yet ascertained) instantly killed, and their bodies and limbs thrownto great distance by this powerful agent. The end of the building was hurled against the artillery old laboratory (brici<), about l5 feet distant, which crushed if, and the roof being of wood caught fire. and burnt with the other wood work This latter building contained nothing. The number Of persons killed by this alevent is seven, five within and two without the building.

"Publc sentiment is very poorly expressed
in both of the organs of the two factions at Wash

who have all along been g swearing hard to

sufficiently '.pubic" before long, and that is,
that they utterly detest and despise the in
triguers in power, and will set the seal of their
condemnation upon their intrigues. Nor will it
be any excuse to them, that Charity, in her leni-

Master Burke and The Mayor of Boston,
An old story newly vamped, has lately been re-
ported and at last printed in the Providence Pa
triot, setting forth that Master Burke, having
been invited to dine with his honor the Mayor,
was requested to play the violin after dinner;
that Burke said he would go home and get it,
and not returning, person was sent to inquire
why he did not; and that Burke sent for reply
that he did not fiddle for his dinner, or that he
preferred PLAYING at his lodging This story
might tell we'll for Burke'slpower at repartee but
would be libel upon the well known hospitali-
ty and politeness Of the Mayor. The following
Is from the Daily Advertiser.
"A story about Mast~ Bnrke's dining with
the Mayor, and about his violin. &c. was for
some days the prevailing gossip of this city, and
thought better to laugh at it than to condescend
to deny it-but seeing It now transferred from
the Providence Patriot to Gazette IN this city,
land presuming it is too good thing not to 60
the rounds in other papers;) unwilling as am to
spoil joke and ambitious as perhaps | ought to
be of seeing my name coupled with Master
