: FiRE.--1he lower pert of the large
house at the foot of the Parade, on the
corner of Thames-sireet, owned and oc-
cupied by Doct. Benz. w. Case, was
discovered TO be on fire about an hour
before sunrise yesterday morning, de-
noting rapid and almost certain destruc-
tion to the most populous part of our 'an-
cient town. The room in which the
fire was discovered, was occupied as
Grocery; and the fire, il is supposed,
proceeded from stove pire which led
into the chimney adjoining--the pipe be-
iny surrounded on all sides with wood
work. The flames had reached the
ceiling, under which they were rapidly
spreading, and but for the prompt and
efficie lent exerions OF our citizens, must
have burst out in almost every part OF
the building in a very little time. The
damage sustained is fortunately not very
great. We hope, however, that the oc-
currencc will serve in future to caution
our inhabitants to guard against the pos
sbilty Of danger from similar causes.

TIE LEGISLATURE of this State, vii
convene in Providence on Monday next
agreeably to adjournment.

! The following remarks from the Bal
timore Chronicle are SO much in accord
! ance with our own views in regard t
the existing political state Of the coun
try, that we give them conspicuous
! place in our columns:
"What further measurcs orrcformaiio,
yet remain to be tried by the Executive
!. or his Kitchen Cabinet, we know not
but should they result as those already
adopted, we may fairly anticipate, that, a,
the conclusion Of Gen. Jackson's Pre-
sidentinl term, there will scarcely be an
individual in the country, not an Office
holder, who will not have cause to re-
gret the inlatuation which placed at the
head Of Government the present incum-
bent. Before his election, we had glow
ing pictures Of the prosperity and hap
piness that were TO ensuc from his ele-
vation. All branches Of trade were to
prosper, whilst the Government was to
be administered with simplicity, puri-
ty, and economy never before witnessed.
Now, that We have had five years ex-
perience, we ask any honest man to say
wherein himself or the country has been
benefited by the changer The fnan-
ces Of the country are deranged-com-
mcrce cmbarrassed-the products OF the
farmer lessened in value-inte rnal i'm
proveme nts arrested-and me echanics and
laborcrs discharged for the want Of en-
ployment. A few amb itious individuals
have attained power; and the money of
the people is squandered upon lavorites,
or loaned for political purposes. The
sy ystem Of Government has undergone, in
practice, radical change, and the SER
want has become the master. Constitu-
ion and laws are either construed to
suit executive purposes, or set aside by
executive will. Honesty and indepen-
lcnce are prescribed and punished, and
ne anness and serviity taken into favor.
The representatives. Of the people are
marked for disobcdicnce 10 executive
command; and the official press dares to
designate as traitors, those who have the
ourage to stand up in this hour Of peril,
or their country. These are some of
he blessed fruits Of that man orship
,hich raised and has continued General
ackson in power. But the people can
OF always be misled; and they now be-
in to feel that their confidence has been
displaced. The warfare against the
nited States Bank; the withdrawal of J
lie Public Deposites, contrary to law;
nd the consequent pressure for money,
ith all classes Of the community, have
rought forth the general exclamation,
What shall we do to be savedi" The
inquiry will soon lead to discovery of

Mr.. ATKINSON. The lateness of the
hour prevents my replying, at length, to
the charges Of an ANONYMOUS writer in
The Republican Of to-day, against .he
Newport Lyceum. / can but make ii
brief summary Of them, and an imper-
feet reply. lie implies that The society
proposed indeieasihle projects, and was
aristocratic in its constitution.
The first charge may have been bas-
ed upon the object avowed in the Jour
nal ofthe Associate Society--the eslab-
lishment ola National Literature. This
could not, from the nature of it, be spec
dily effected. 1t never was supposed by
the projectors of that patriotic design,
that it would result from the local opera
tions Of the branches of the Associate
Society. But it was reasonable to hone
that, by the studies pursued in them, the
members would, in time be qualified 10
send delegates to a National Academy,
from whose labours it would result. In
the mean time, the advantages Of Lyce-
ums would be enjoyed by the members
Of the branches. Was this pueriIe or in
1e(easble' Did tins deserve to be con-
spoken Of as an attempt to
multiply school books od infnium.
Again, it was arisiocraic. WHY is
his commonplace, this word of manifold
ne gaming, the cabaistic charm which in
rests modest respect for virtue and talent
With the badge of serviiiy, and throws
'ver the deccn, dignity of conscious de-
crt the air Of arroganco-why is this ut
cred against the Lyceum? II j, is be-
ause certain soldiers with a spirit hon-
rable to them, and which would cxat
he character of any academies, project
d, and sustained by their scientific cx-
ibitions at its CONNIE nc cemcnt, tho Ly-
cum, let the writer blush. But perhaps
lis charge rests upon the fact that few
Anticipated in the exercises Of The soci-
.y; but Of these few some were soldiers,
wycrs, clcrgymcn, physicians, teach
's, and men of business, and any who
d not share them, were self excluded.
Ii we are TO have new society, be
so. rejoice ut the indication of the
vival of literary spirit here. / say
vival-for that it once existed, there is
nple evidence. But let not those who
w feel its renascent power, deride
ch as recently attempted to awaken it.
! wish that this subject may be dis
ssed, but that it may not raise mere
ar Of words; therefore, though, from

From THE FAR WEsT.---A letter has
been received by the Editors OF the Ma
tional Intelligencer from gentleman
accompanying the expedition against the
Pawnees and Carmanches, now under
tho command Of Col. Dodge, which
states that sickness had spread, and was
spreading to an alarming degree among
the Dragoons--mor than fifty had been
taken sick Of day, and also many ofthe
officers. The disease is the bilious re-
mittent fever Of the country.
Col. Dodge had left all his sick at
Capt. Beans camp, and pushed on with
about one half of his command: aud had
not been heard from since the day after
he marched.
The letter further states, that the
Pawnees are most constantly in the vi
cinity of Beams camp. One night the
horses became frightened, and $50 were
lost, there not being men sufficient TO
pursue them; in fact barely enough to
nurse the sick.
The report ofthe engagement between
Col. Dodge and the Pawnees, is neither
confirmed nor denied. Further medical
aid had beer despatched to the Posts on
the frontier from the War Department as
soon as the necessities olthe troops were
known.

We received by yesterdays boat the
melancholy news Of the death of our
worthy townsman, Mr.. Joshua II. Rath-

Watson, Ralhbone s Co. Of Providence,
came into this city to make purchases for

railing Of the plank used for landing the
passengers, and made spring to jump
on board; the railing shook with the
weight Of his hand, and thereby losing
his balance, he fell between the side of
the dock and the vessel, and was caught

! DEsrRUCrIOx OF WALL-sr. CuURcu.-
On Saturday afternoon, at about half past
o'clock, a workman engaged in the
new building now erecting adjacent to
the Wall street Presbyterian Church, OBJ
served smoke issuing from the roof of
the latter edifice. He proceeded imme-
diatcly to the spot, but it was too late to
render effective service. The timbcrs
for the support of the roof and dome Cup
piled ready aliment for the flames which
soon burst out with incredible fury
Vast multitudes Of citizens, with engines
and every other implement for resistance
to the active element were soon collect
ed, but with no other effect than TO pro-
tect adjacent buildings from the threat
ened ruin. After the body ofthe church
had become thoroughly enveloFcd in the
blaze, it nscended the steeple from both
within and without, which ere long came
down with heavy crash into the body
Of the church. Before nightlall, tho
whole wood work OF the building was a
mass of ruins. The bell was rung until
tue rope was burnt on--and when the
frame by which it was supported was
nearly consumed, it tumblcd into tho
mass. The cushions, and books were
for the most part saved.

KINGSTON, Sept. 10th, 1884.
John Losrell, Esq.
SIR:--I returned home last evening
and found your favor Of the lst inst, and
in reply would state, that when Colonel
Pickering had received your letter, and
read it, holding it in his hand, observed
to me, that it was from you, and that it
contained information that the State Of
Massachusetts had chosen Delegates to
meet IN Hartford. never had the leite,
IN my hand, or heard 1t read, nor did Col
p. state to me any thing it contained
other than as aborc. Nor DID l ever
state to ANY person that ! knew the con-
tents Of your letter by reading, or hearing
II read, or stated by Col. p, or any 9th
er person, other than as above stated. -
Among many other charges equally false,
tho charge has been made against mo of
being in favor Of the Hartford Conven-
tion, and has been for n long time the
subject of many newspaper articles a
gainst me. And, although knew them
TO be false, and that it was completely in
my power to prove them so, yet | have
patiently borne with them, rather than
bring this unpleasant business before the
public, giving occasion for any thing be-
ing written or said tending in the slight
est manner to i,jure the character of the
dead, or the feelings ofthe living. i find
upon examining my letter Of the Sd of
published in Newport paper
that as it respects yourself and your let
tor to Col. Pickering, it is stated by me
that the only part of your letter to the
Col, by him communicated to me was
the simple fact that Massachusetts had
appointed Delegates 10 the Hartford Con
uention, and NOTHING more, which, upon!
a fair construction of the contents of that
letter, as completely eronerales you as the
afore written statement, as when you un-
dertake to say what a man has said, af-
ter stating the fact it is not necessary to-
state what he did not say. l hold my
self accountable for every act Of my life,
but not for the misunder anding or mis-
construction Of any thing that l may do
or say.
l am, very respectfully, yours &c.
