FIRE. We were Informed by gentle
man who arrived in town on Tuesday last
that on his way from Edwardsville, he saw
the ruins Of the house owned by Mr.. Sam

ing been consumed by fire the Saturday
night previous. The family escaped with
but little else than few articles of cloth

destroyed with the building.
The house was supposed to have been
set on fire by some person, but whether
suspicion rests upon any one we have not
been informed. Personal ill-leeling has
we understand for long time existed in
that neighborhood, which has probably
been the cause ofthe above suspicion.

Leaving for home
trade 189,5OO 1880
Showing an increase of nearly $780,.
900 bags in the supply, and of near $50,
600 bales in the demand for the season.
The prospects for the opening season,
are greatly changed for the worse with
in the last five or six weeks; the crops
which gave very favorable promise,
have been much injured by the high
winds and rains since September, SO
much so, that il is expected the Atlantic
states will not produce more than last
year; and from the Gulf the increase is
not expected to be great, whilst the
quality Of the cotton thus far arrived at
market is unusually poor. By late advi-
ces from Europe, II is stated that the
Egyptian, will reach from 10000 to
| $4,000 bags, against about $4,000 last
season; and from India and China, the
accounts are quite unfavorable, regard
ing the trade in cotton manufactures,
which, whilst reducing the demand for
European manufactures, will very prob
ably direct a larger portion Of India
Cotton to the English market, from the
failure Of demand in China. OF Sea
Island crops, accounts are extremely un-
favorable--besides injury from the winds
and rains, the caterpillar is destroying
much Of what remains, and reduction
Of at least one eighth from last years
supply is anticipated. In our market,
there has been during the past week, an
unusual demand for uPlands. Strictly
choice parcels very scarce and command

Madrid dates the to 5th ult. have been
received at London. On that day, the
paragraph in the declaration of rights
which was designed to establish the lib
erty of the press, was, after long dis
cussion, adopted by the Chamber Of Pro-
curadores, by majority Of two votes.
Strenuous efforts were made by Martin
ez de la Rosa and Count Toreno, to pre-
vent this result. Ii had given great con.
fdence to the opposition. There were
reports in Paris that the Ministers had
resigned in consequence, but nothing
ascertained on the subject. A Madrid
Correspondent Of the London Morning
Herald predicts disastrous consequences
from the probable accession Of the libcr-
falls to power. According to some &C
counts, the ministers are coniented with
the result. 1t is stated that the finance
committee would report to the Chamber
in favor of the entire recognition of the
foreign debt, and that their report would
be adopted. The bill to exclude Don
Carlos and his family from the throne,
has been passed by the House Of Peers.
A subsequent defeat Of the ministers is
mentioned in the French papers, but the
nature Of it is not stated.

Commercial Advertiser, relates the fol-
lowing amusing incident which occurred
at late fire in that city.
"One family having some ducks and
chickens in large coop, and a pig on
the premises, which was in danger Of
being roasted too soon, in their eagerness
to save the whole, hastily thrust piggy
into the chicken coop, and carried all to
a place of safety from the flames. Be.
ling thus secure in his own person, pig
Icy bethought himselfthat he should like
Ia game supper. He therefore devoured
both ducks and chickens with the relish
of an Alderman; and when the owners
returned TO look after the living delica.
cies, nothing of the poultry remained
but the feathers! We have heard ofcar-
rying the tongs and andirons carefully
down stairs by hand, and placing them
in the street for preservation, during the
confusion of a fire, and at the same time
dashiog the looking glass upon the pave
ment through the window for the same

Mobile is advancing rapidly to impor-
tarce, and promises to be at an early day,
one Of the leading cities of the SOUTH
The following glance at its improvement,
present and prospective, is from the Re.
gister Of the 18th ult.
"The confirmation which seven years
of uninterrupted health has given to the
salubrity Of Mobile; the excellence Of
its police--the air Of neatness in its
dwellings in the city and suburbs-to
gether with the advantages Of trade,
steadily and rapidly increasing with the
population of the state, have induce d
an accession to our population this sea :
son, much beyond the anticipations Of
the most sanguine among us. We are
informed that several erchants have ar
rived, who have ordered goods, and are
unable to find stores in which to expose
them for sale. Real estate has advan,
ced in some situations, more than 100
per cent. in 2 months, and the general
advance in building lots and in rents, has
more than averaged fifty per cent. since
the last season. Numerous buildings
for stores and dwelling houses are being
cree ted, to the order Of lessees already
engaged. The waters, too, have antici.
Pated their usual rise by six weeks, and
have so much advanced the delivery Of
the planters crops, which command a
liberal price. In short, Mobile, and The
state of Alabama, may safely challenge
a comparison with any portion Of the
Union, in prosperity, present or pros
pective."
