FIRE IN INDrASA.---A most disastrous
fire occurred at Covington in this State on
last Sunday week. 1t broke out between
two and three o'clock in the afternoon, Oh
the west side Of thcp ublic square, and the
buildings being of wood, there was no pos
sibility of arrcsting the rapid spread of the
flames; the whole square west Of the court
house, and two houses situated on the east
Of the public square, were entirely destroy
ed; one large pork house, amongst the 9TH

tnnateIy every particle of pork it contained
but few hours before, had been removed
to another building for the purpose of smo-

CAPsTzED.- schooner Globe, Capt.
Rosseter, was capsized by the squoll yes
terday afternoon, about six miles from this
port. She was from Buffalo, and had no
freight except small quantity of pig irnn.
Her hull was observed from the shore just
at evening and the Steamboat Fairport,
Capt. Gregory, promptly fred up and
went out to take oifthe crew, supposed to
be clinging to the wreck. They had how
ever been taken off by the schr. Agnes Bar
ton.
We learn that Capt. Shocks, of the Ver-
million, utterly refused to 90 out with his
boat, though she had steam up, ready to
start for Buffalo.
The public will Judge whose conduct is
the more deserving. 1t is easy to decide
which ofthe officers, like true sailor, wears
his heart on the outside.
The Steamboat De Witt Clinton, aided
by schooner, made an unsuccessful effort
to right the Globe this afternoon, and tow
her in. The vessel will probably yet be
secured, without material damage.-Clev.

CRUEL HoAx.---The L:ccoln Gazette,
fan English paper states, that young lady
in that place, having a piquc against one of.
her acquaintance, Miss Barre, procured
a suit of mems clothes, and an introduction,
and under pretence of love, induced Miss
B. to receive her as lover. She carried
on this hoax successfully for near three
months, the two lovers wandering round
the banks by moonlight almost every fair
evening; and the time was actually set for
their nnptals. At last a mutual friend dis
covered the cheat by accident, and acquaint-
ed Miss B. with the hoax Whether a
suitfor breach of promise will be the result,
we cannot say: but at the last accounts the
parties had not become reconciled.

The Natchez Free Trader of the 18th
instant, says:
son the evening of Thursday the 9th in
stant, just below the city of Commerce, the
steamer Henry Clay was run into by the
Tuskina. The officers of each boat cried
to the other for relief: the impression was
that both would go down: and the passen
gers, like the officers, thought there was no
salfty in remaining upon their own boat. In
five minutes of confusion, passengers and
crew, trunks band-boxes and ap-dogs com
pletely exchanged positions. On board the
Henry Clay there were number of ladies'
who, in their fright, clasped their arms so
closely around the necks of the gentlemen
near them, that the poor fellows, unused to
such demonstrations of affection, were
speeches.. There was French lady run
Mug all over the boat for her lap-dogs, de-
claring most positively she would not drown
without them. 1t was at last ascertaincd
that nothing serious had occurred to either
boat.

the other gang who, set fire to another

there was much excitement in the town,
but as his business was urgent, he could

might be so placed, as to be turned by the
current, which is always considerable at the
head of the pier, to be thrown out by a
