GREAT FIRE IN NEw ORLEars.-On the
9Th inst. about two o'clock, the cry of fire
was heard through the streets, when it was
discovered that grocery on the corner of
the rail road leading to the lake, and Casa
calvo street, was on fire. From the house
the flames spread with astonishing rapdity
through the whole square, leaving only some
hall dozen tenemcnts on the north side; the
hre then crossed Marigny street and burnt
oil bnt fve buildings on the next square, ex-
tending to Vaudeville street.
This fire took from spark from the loco.

Nearly two squares were on fire, and IO7
houses were consumed. About 1917 families
were left destitute of shelter. &c.

PERsEvERAHcE.-The great Asiatic con.

him is published for the encouragement of
those who are now laboring to obtain the ne
cessary accommodations in order to sustain
themselves in these times of general distress
in money affairs.
~ once" he said, "was forced to take shell
ter from my enemies in ruined building,
where sat alone many hours. Desiring to
divert my mind from my hopeless condition,
fixed my eyes on an ant, that was carrying a
grain of corn larger than itself up high wall.
! numbered the efforts it made to accomplish
tins object. The grain fell sixty nine times
to the ground; but the insect persevered, and
the seventeen time it reached the top. This
sight gave me courage at the moment, ard

intelligence from Velasco to the I'd. The

is still of tranquility and prosperity. promise

of land, and as great Indifference tn the
threats of invasion by the Mexicans. Lots
in Houston, 80 by 100 feet, had sold at $4,000,
$500, and some as high as $500.
The army, some $500 strong, was still en-
camped on the La Baca, under General
Johnson, General Felix Huston having gone
to New Orleans on a visit to his friends.
The Brutus and Envncible, Texan vessels
of-war, were at Galveston waiting supplies
Of men and stores. Captain Hurd, and some
other officers, had resigned. Capt. Small, or
Smell, commander of the fort at Velasco, had
shot his lieutenant through the hcac, in a
brawl. The lieutenant's name was Sprowl.
President Houston is said to be very popu-
lar, the worthy Texans considering him not
only one ofthe bravest soldiers, wisest states
men, and first gentlemen of the age, but also
an accomplished scholar and elegant writer.

In orr last paper we published an article
written by an Administration gentleman, ad-
dressed "to the knowing Ones" inviting them
to answer certain questions therein propound-
ed, among which was the following, wiz
"IIow much money was paid to a certain ex-
member of Congress, living in the South pare
of the Stnto, in order to procure his influence
to prevent Judge Branch from obtaining the
Colcctorship of Provdcnce?"
In the last Newport Mercury, Dutee j.
Penrc', under his own signature, undertakes
to answer that question, and denies that he
ever received any money for opposing the
appointment Of Judge Branch. Well, what
then' We expected, as matter Of course,
that Pearce might endeavor to muster cour-
age enough to make the denial-but the facts
remain the same.-And those questions, which
were not addressed to him, will, in due sea-
son, be answered by "the kno,cing ones," and
answered truly.
Since the ex-member appears to be quick
to answer some questions, ,hc mny answer the
following
"Who paid Dutee J. Peoree, during the
time he wns a member Of Congress, Fifty dol
lars for his influence to have Capt. Coody re-
moved from the command Of the Revenue
Gutter, of this pacc?"

the true foundation Of mutual faith and cred

great regard and esteem for man of strict
honor; but then let him prove his right to this
title by the whole tenor Of his actions: let him
neither attempt to derive his character, or
form his conduct from fashion, or the opinion
Of others: let true moral rectitudc be the
uniform rule of his actions, and just praise
and appreciation will be his due and reward.

MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT AND LOSS
OE LIVES

We learn from Capt. Grice, and some OF
the passengers of the steamboat lone, that on
her trip down from Manchester to this place,
she took fire about so miles above N Orleans,
and twthstandng every exertion of the Of
ficers and crew, was totally consumed in less
than a quarter Of an hour from the first dis
covery. The wind was very high at the time
and the cargo consisting principally of l0C
bales of cotton which had been under shed
Tor some time, and consequently very dry,
burned with uncxampled rapidty.
Capt. Grice with the utmost difficulty sue
cceded in saving his wife, and with the as
sstnnce of Mr.. Miller, pilot, his youngest
child; his two other children, a girl and boy,
were preserved from the deyouring element,
one by Mr.. Grice, cousin of the captains,
and the other by n colored man, the steward
Of the boat, who at the imminent risk of his
life plunged into the water with him, and al
most reached the shore, when his strength
failing him, he was obliged to give mp his lit
tie charge, but was Immediately relieved by
the mate of the boat, Mr.. Morris, and both
were safely landed.
Such was the progress Of the flames that
not an individual was able to save a single
article.
The Cd clerk, Mr.. w. G. Weed, met with
a terrible death in endenvoring to save the
books and letters, some of which were no
doubt very valuable.
