FIRE IN CHARLESTON, KANAwHA,
COUNTY, VA.

The Kanawha Banner Of the 9th
inst, brings an account of fire which
occurred between ono and two o'clock
on the night of the 18th inst, in the
back part Of one of three buildings
near fine brick storehouse owned by
Messrs. G, l.. Shrewsbury & Co.
which with the store itself were soon
wrapped in flames. The Banner says !;
Every effort was made by the FIRE
men aud citizens to stay its progress
here, but all in vain. The brick hotel
occupied by Mr.. II. c. Anderson, was
soon discovered to be on fire, from
which the flames spread rapidly to the
two tenements Immediately above, and
was finally checked in it's destruc-
tive course by tearing away the frame
. building Immediately below the dwell.
ing house oil Mr.. G.. w. Summers.
The number Of buildings DESTROYED is
eight, viz. on the river bank the store
house occupied by G. l.. Shrewsbury
& Co. and owned by Joel Shrewsbury
Jr. the brick house occupied by Duke
& Gray, timers, (who lost every thing)
and owned by Henry c. Anderson !;
The frame house occupied by Mr.. Hem
ny Manning, and NJ. Peyton, tailors,
and owned by George Mitchell and
the frame building occupied and owned
by Mr.. G. Kelly, as dwelling and
tallor's shop. On the other side oft
street, the brick hotel occupied by II. c.
Anderson, and owned by JOHN Mays !;
the BARRIERS shop and bath house occu.
pied by Bowles, and owned by Andrew
Beach the brick dwelling house of
Samuel Beach, and the frame dwelling
of Andrew Beach.
We learn that none Of the above
property was insured, with the excep-
ton Of the brick storehouse of Mr.,
Shrewsbury, which laid under policy
OF $1,000, the proba bio cost of the
building being from to $4,000. We
are uniformed as TO the loss sustained
by the occupants Of the burnt buildings
but 1t must be very great"

FATAL AccIDENT.-On Sunday az
ternoon black man, slave belong
ing to Mrs. Norris, was found drunk
and sleeping upon the track ofthe Bal
timore and Ohio Rail Road, near the
Western end of the Deep Cut, from
which place he was removed. 1t is
supposed, however, he must have re-
turned 10 the spot and fell asleep again,
for yesterday morning his body was
louno upon the track severed in two
pieces, apparently from the burthen
cars passing over it the night before.
No blame can be attached to the con.
duclor Of the cars, for from the dark.
ness Of the night it was impossible to
discern any thing upon the rails, and
nothing was known of the accident un.
Ill the body was found the next NOR
ming. -BaH. Sun.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

MEXlCU-fhANiF<--E ENiS t<A@SD.
The most important news by the
late arrival are latest accounts given Of
the dispositions and movements of the
Governments of France and England
relative to the blockade of Mexico.
The French blockade Of Mexico is
creating great sensation in England
and Europe. Ia London, the press
has taken most active part in the dis.
cussions arising on. of the question
whether the blockade is Legal or not.
The Partisan press, particularly the
republican portion, defend the conduct
oil their Government in the most euer-
getic terms. It's remarkable, too,
that this defence should be set up by
that portion of the Partisan press who
are most opposed to the government Of
the King.
The diplomatic agents OF Mexico an
Buenos Ayres in London were very
urgent upon the action ofthc Govern
rnent; and this in conjunction with the
remonstrances Of the merchants, it is
supposed, will be able to effect check
to the French policy.
1t seems that Mr.. Henderson, the
diplomatic agent from Texas, was 10
France in the month of August or
September. He had effected com
mercial treaty with England. As
soon as this important point had been
effected in London, Mr.. Henderson
proceeded TO Paris to negotiate a SINH
lar treaty there. While IN Paris, the
news of the blockade of Mexico gave a
new view to the position ofaffairs. 1t
was supposed, if Mexico did not settle
her difference with France, that by
some secret arrangement, the Texans
would attack Mexico by land, simulta-
neously with the attack of the French
feet by sea. All that the Government
OF Texas wanted to raise 10000 men,
in the Western States was suificiency
Of money. This advance might be
made by France on secret treaty,
giving great advantage to the Texans.
On the other hand, The diplomatic a.
gents ofthe Mexican and Buenos Ayre-
an Governments were not idle in Eng
land. 1t was currently stated in the
best informed circles in London, that
preparations were made to attack |
French commerce by sea, as soon as
the first ntimation tina, a gun had been
fired on San Juan de Ulloa, or whene.
yer Mexico had declared war against
France. Swift sailing vessels were
rapidly preparing on the Thames, on
the Mersey, and at Bristol, ready 20
issue at my moment, and to act under
letters of marque from Mexico.
In every point of view, the affairs Of
the block ade of Mexico and Buenos
Ayres were beginning to create great
imbrogtio among the Governments and
people of France and England. Al.
ready it had created more passion and
vlrulence between The press of London
and Paris than any other question has
done for the last few years. This
depth of interest is augmented from
the Interference the blockade OCCASION
ed to very important commercial inter-
ests.

EXTENSIVE RoBBERY.--The Miners
Free Press, printed at Mineral Point,

$4,000 each, intended for Indian dis.
bursements, were extracted from the
magazine. The robbers, we under.

VALUE OF THE PouND STERLING.
--Messrs. lsaac Carow, d. Lord, Jr.

on case wherein it became necessary
to determine the legal value of the

SAID legal value, not regarding the fuc-
tuations of exchange, is four dollars,

decision is founded upon the act of
June, 1884, entitled g an act recula-

is declared that the gold coins of Great
Britain, not less than % carats fine,
shall pass current as money in the u
