The foreign news has had some effect upon
Tobacco, though it is not sufficiently developed
to venture quotations. The market, since the

ing of the foreign tidings upon the market Par

FLOUR.-The stock in market is exceeding

FIRE.-The fire yesterday afternoon, abou
half past one o'clock, originated in some shavings
and offal which had been thrown out of the car
penter's shop of Mr.. Joseph Stubs, i'm the rear Of
his dwelling on Barre street, east side, adjoining
Welcome alley. Being unobserved for some
time, the fire had communicated to the shop,
which was composed partially of wood, and the
whole structure was enveloped in flames ere a
retreat was made from it by the workmen, or an
efectual alarm could be given;-the tools it con-
tanned were entirely destroyed. The different
fire companies promptly repaired to the spot, but
owing to scarcity Of water, did not succeed in
arresting the progress of the flames until they
had been impaired to two, or perhaps three habi-
table brick tenements in the yard, thence to the
dwellings, -four in nsnber) on Barre stree ,
three of which, were owned by Mr.. Stubs, and
occupied by himself and other individuals whose
names we did not learn the other and larger
house of the four, is the property of Mr.. Joseph
Wilkins, and tenanted by Mr.. -- Johnston
all of which were more or less injured, and
will require entire new roofs, and considerable
inside work. There is no doubt but severe loss
has been sustained by the hasty removal of fur.
niture The property of Mr.. Stubs, we under
stand, is covered by insurance, at least to the
amount of 81, 500-that of MIR. Wilkins, we are
informed, is also. The activity of the different
fire companies in attendance on this occasion,
deserves the highest commentator

A BASE AND SLAJDEROUS LIE.-The
readers of the Republican oflast Friday. the 18th
instant, no doubt have seen, under the editorial
head, the name of s9Mister .JeeDleS Manners
coupled with the name of Mr. Goodhue, in no
very favorable light. 1t is true the above name
does not belong to me, bat so general is the be-
lief that am the person alluded to, that feel
constrained to say few words on the subject
I always thought it bad enough for certain presses
to TEEN with political lies; but when the rulers
of such condescend to libel so humble an individ-
ual myself, 1 cannot help saying, "Good,
God! what is my country coming top If there
had been any other individual arrested with
Goodhue, or any other imprisoned on fhe day
mentioned, the lying editor might have some
excuse in plea that he was mistaken in the
person; but the fact is, Goodhue was the only
one charged, or arrested, and may say, think,
without fear Of contradiction, the only one ares
ted on any charge of violation of the laws of the
State of Maryland, in the town of Easton, Tai
bot county, on the 18th instant. Farther:-I
have been credibly informed that one of the
editors was told, before the paper went to
press, that he would publish lie ifhe persisted;
but, regardless of any of these fine feelings BY
which honorable, high-ininded men actuated,
he hurled his missile of defamation with all the
force his foul heart could dictate.
