Another Destructive Fire.-A few min.

Another Destructive Fire A few min
utes after 4 o'clock, yesterday AFTERNOON,
fire broke out in the rear Of No. I6I, A.,
Twentieth. street, in the stable back of
MIR. Davidson's south side, between 7ih
and 9th Avenues. The wind was fresh
from tho northeast, which blew the
llames with amazing rapdity and fury,
unchecked by water, the engines being
at great distance, and the alarm not
being general, SO that the fire was not
subduud, till the entire range of houses
west of, and including No. l6l, eight in
front and six in the rear, together with
one on the east, making fifteen in all,
were burnt down. The buildings were
all of wood, except two on Twentieth
street, which had brick fronts, and VIC
believe were worth on an average, one
thousand dollars each, and were inhabi-
ted by numerous families, who could i'll
afford to lose single dollar. One
house we are informed contained six
families, and another eight, several of
whom had recently arrived from Germa-
ny. Again had the gentlemen Of the
Episcopal Theological Seminary the
pleasure of opening their doors to the
houseless and destitute, the conAagra-
ton being in their immediate vicinity. -
The distance from the dense part Of the
city, prevented the alarm from spreading
cnd although an express was sent off in
a few minutes after the fire broke out, i.
was nearly an hour before the necessary
assistance arrived.-[.N " Y. Com. .3dv. q

PUBLIC DINNER.

A Public Dinner was given, on the
goth instant, by the Young Men of the
City and County Of Philadelphia, to the
Hon. SAMUEL L. SoUTuARD, a Senator
Of the United States from the State Of
New-Jersey. A company, exceeding
three hundred in number, honored the
occasion. Among the guests were the
Mayor Of the City, MIR. SERGEANT, "the
Chy's favorite," and other distinguishes {
citizens. Upon toast being given to
their "honored guest" Mr. ScurHARp
addressed the meeting, and for about
half an hour, delighted his auditors with
n strain Of eloquenco, which, the U. s.
Gazette says, has been rarely equalled,
and perhaps never exceeded, in that ci-
ty. The same journal says
"The close Of the speech was a splcn-
did effort Of eloquence-worthy the oc-
casion-and worthy the high fame ofthe
Speaker. 1t had n thrilling and electric
influence on the audience, who started
nj the close as if trumpet had sounded
a charge. The deafening applause, and
the general cheerings, showed that MIR.
SouTuARp had reached the hearts Of his
auditors; they felt the influence Of a
master hand, and they responded like
men and patriots.
"The meeting was subsequently ad-
IN
dressed by John NJ. Scott, Esq; Dr. ).
X. Mitchell, the Hon. John Sergeant
and others, in a strain Of happy and
forceful eloquenco."

THE SENArE.---The Jackson papers
are filled with the most furious denunci-
ations of the Senate, simply for the rea-
son, that the unconstitutional proceedings
of the President have been opposed by
that body with energy and irmness.--
The official Journal accuses one Of its
members Of perjury, and the accusations
Of corruption and bribery are daily spout
ed forth from all the disciples Of that pure
Gamaliel, as if they hoped to convince
their readers, that there is some slight
foundation for such rbaldry. But the
time for this coafseness Is past. 1t Is IN
vain to attempt to make any one believe,
that men Of the highest character and
ability are Oh the level Of the foulest
criminals, and the endea~or to produce
such impressions only serves, we cannot
say to degrade, but to impair the infiu-
ence Of the journals that indulge in such
absurdities. Or those, tho Washington
Globe is the chief. The Administration
seem willing to recognise it as their or
z IAN, and to be responsible for its calum-
MES; and this is responsibility, which
no administration in this country can
long sustain. The moral sense Of the
people will revolt against these sources

on the country -nd myself" When /
saw him in March, he reiterated what
had been before communicated to me,
assuring me that he had himsel selected
my name from the list before him. This
declaration he also made to our mutual
friends, whom ! might name if needful.
and who, ] doubt not, when they see this
letter, will be mortified to find, that there
should have arisen the least necessity to
sustain what never should have been
brought in question. But if any thing
further is necessary to prove that the
President spontane ously selected me,
refer to his own letter to me Of the 18th
Of fJu y last, in which he avows the fact,
and gives, amongst other reasons, for the
selection, his desire to elevate name,
which, although in an humble sphere,
had earned reputation in the eyes Of the
people.
Yet in utter disregard ofall these facts,
he had the hardihood 10 assert, in his Of
fetal paper ofthe Goth Of December last, +,
that | "palmed myself, or was palmed
upon him." w. J. DUANE.
