 F1RE-On Sunday night last, about half past II o'clock, a fire broke out in the Paper Mill of Amos H. Hubbard, Esq. which, with its contents, were entirely dcstroyed-insur- ance $l2,OOO, as we understand, at Hartford. The building being of wood, the Cotton Mill and Bleach House of the Williams Manufac- turing Company, also of wood, about 40 feet distant, were soon in blaze, and with their contents, were destroyed likewise, as were a!- so an old dwelling house, and a small brick building used for sizing harnesses, both ot small value-.insurance SIG, O,OOO, at the Wash ington Office in Providence, R.

 We are sorry to see knifng resorted to Tn Yankee land, where that barbarism has here- tofore been looked upon with little less hor- TOT than that of Cannibalism. There have been several instances of stabbing within year or two past, and an atroclous case mas occurred lately. Two boys named Clifford and Eldridge, having quarrelled, the young ran off. The older boy pursued, overlook and stabbed him with jack-knife, through the thigh, severing the main arteries. The wounded boy is not expected to recover.

A. Stoutenburgh, Esq. contain ing the surrogate and post offices, the stores of David Edwards, and John McArthur, the factory and dwelling of Robert Kirkpatrick, the store of Farmer and Cook, and the bar Der shop adjoining. The fire was arrested by great exertions. The papers and letters belonging to the surrogate and post offices were nearly all saved. The loss is estimated at from 15 to $20,OOO.-ibid.
 Mississippi Arguments-The other day much dissatisfaction was expressed by pas sengers coming up in the steamboat from Nor- folk to Baltimore, on finding upon their arri- val off Annapolis, that they were to be trans- ferred on account ot the ice, to smaller boat, and to pay an additional sum therefor, tho they had before paid for the whole route to. Baltimore. The greater portion of the pas sengers absolutely refused to comply with the extortionate demand, and made prepara- tion to resist. A tall, lank, bilious looking Mississippian was at this moment opening his trunk very carefully, and taking brace of pistols, placed them in his pockets, and Bowie knife in his bosom by way of breust pin. "What are you about!" said friend. " Oh nothing," he replied, "only l don't know how it may be necessary to act"
 NEW ORLEANS, March 2.
 We have received the Texas Telegraph of the 2lst Feb. being the latest news from Tex as. The Editor says, that by the last ex- press from San Antonio, we understand that Bravo had left the command of the Mexican army, and returned to Mexico. That gener. al Amanda, at Matamoras, with force of 4O00 or 5000, had it in contemplation to des- patch force of six or eight hundred mount ed men, for the purpose of taking possession of San Antonio and Goliad, knowing that the latter place was unoccupied, and the former only garrisoned by small force after do- ing which, commissioners were to be des- patched to the government of Texas, for the purpose oftreating definitively for peace and independence. How far this may be true, time alone can determine. It may be an ar- tificc ofthe enemy, for purposes which it is not easy to comprehend. We would, how ever, advise the citizens to put their guns in shooting order. and in every way equip them- selves for service, in the event of being call led to the field. But at the same time we caution them not to be moved by idle reports, which too frequently obtain credit.
