 1 RODNEY, (M1ss.) Jan. 15. Lynch's Latc.-We scarcely know how to. notice a transaction which occurred at Fay- cite, in this county, on Saturday night last. Our readers will recOl!ect that some time since we noticed the murder of MT. MtGOw- an by man named Spinney that he was. arrested and lodged in jail 10 await his trial. It came on at the last term of the Circuit Conr'' but owing [" some informality in the F'hoctmtnt (the true cause of all these diff culttes) ne was remandrd to prison to appear | at the next session of the court. Instead of awaiting the time allotted for his second triah l and giving him once more the uncertain chan ces cf the law for his condemnation, num- ber of the citizens of Fayette and neghbor- hood went en mosse, (after having been refus- ed by the keeper the keys of the jail.( and broke open the doors with sledge hammers, seized the unfortunate wretch, and hung him instanter. The cause, we understand, of this summary proceeding arose out of the fact that Spinney had been heard to assert that f an opportunity was given him he would, with. undying revenge, foIlow up all who had been instnt,mental in his conviction.
 r Destructive Fire.-About 4 o'clock yester- day morning, an alarming fire broke out in, Mulberry Street, in the range of buildings, Eoceupicd-by the methodist Society as libra. Try. BOokbindery, and trart establishments very soon after the alarm of fire was given, most of the city engines were in requisi!ion i; but alt their efforts were unavailing. and the four story brick buildings were totally con- sumed. They were 125 feet in front. ands when the gable at the eastern wing fell, it brought down the frame building No. 96,. with horrid crash. The numbers of the, houses consumed were, lO4, l02, 100, and. 98. AHthe buildings were literally crammed with books, and other cumbustibles, and the, | flames. in consequence, extended their rdvd- ges sooner than they otherwise would have, dOne-sOOn after the fire broke out, the flames. communicated with frame building attached to coal yard at tbe opposite side of tho street, andit vas soon leveIIrd with the ground. It was owing, solely. to the unremitted exer- tions of the frenen, that the devourlng eIe- ment was kept within the limits which we have described. The scene which presented 1 itself, immediately before :he orental dawn, was terrifcay grand. The entire lot of bull dings in front was crumbpd 10 ruins. and the fall indeed was great. The houses were very high, and the flames, to all appearance, reach ed the skies. It is n"t accurately ascrrtain- ed. how the fire originated; but it is known 1 that the flames first appeared in the second. story, about the centre of the lot. and the en- tire building was soon enveIoped in Aames.-- The only injury done by the fire is that which we have described; but, the falling of the l high and massive walls crushed several rear buildings to the ground. The loss is estima- ted at $25O 600, Or S3OO,0 All the prem ises were examined, at g o'clock on Wednes- day night, and there was not the slightest ap- pearance of ffre.-N. Y.
