ANOTHER DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.

II was but the other day that the painful duty de-
volyed upon Us, of announcing the destruction by fire
Of two Of our most beautiful edfcss-Powells Hotel
and the Presbyterian Church. We have now to Ie-
cord another, which had well nigh proved equally des-
trucve, which broke out about hall past seven o'clock
yesterday morning, on Walnut street, in the Coach
shop occupied by Jno. II. Atkinson, which, with
great deal of timber and unfinished work, was con-
sumed. The fire next caught the frame-house, i'm
medately adjoining, belonging to the Rev. Dr. Syme,
which was laid in ashes. Il then communicated to
four small wooden enements also adjoining thee
shop, and belonging to Montgomery Lynch, which
were also destroyed Several smaller buildings on tho
same square also destroyed AT this stage OF the
fire. through the noble exertions of some OF our wor-
thy citizens the buildings in the Of the fire were
pulled down, which arrested its further progress
Several times the Petersburg Railroad Depot was on
fire. but by the appliances Of water and blankets, IT.
with the cotton, tobacco &c. contained, was saved
from the devouring element.

From the Tribune.

The Supreme Couit Of Louisiana, which recently
closed its session Alexandria reversed the decision
of the District Court in the case of Mrs Jane Rowey
ps Charles N. Rowley. This is the one in rela-
ton the result of which in the District Court the
difficulty arose between Judge Tenney and Mr.. Row
ley, and which finally led 10 the lamented death OF
Tenney Mrs. Rowey sued her husband for sepa-
ration of bed and board and of property. The Dis
trict Court decreed that she was the owner OF the
property which she inherited from her father of one
half OF the community of acquests and gains and
granted her a separation from bed and board. From
this decision an appeal was taken to the Supreme
Court which has decreed that much Of the PLAN,
tif7s demand as relates to a separation of bed and
board, and dissolution settlement and partition OF the
community of acques,s and gains be rejected and dis
missed, and that the plaintiff Jane RowIey be restor-
ed to the administration of her paraphernal estate
separate and apart from the assistance and interior
ence Of her husband, and that she recover Judgment
against him for the sum Of $43 600.

NEW POEM. Lovers of the Deep.

Edward A. Mclaughlin, a journeyman
printer of Cincinnati, has issued propo-
sails for the publication of new poem
with the above title, written by himself.
The poem is founded on the we'll remem-
bered wreck Of the Pulaski; and its chief
characters the two persons who formed
an affection for each other on their pass-
from the wreck to the land, which was
considered extremely romantic at the
time, and very doubtful by some, now
The poem is said to contain some fine
passages. The author is in extreme in.
dlgence, having been for many years OF
his life addicted to the awful vice of in
temperance, and in its direst and most
hateful form. He, however, by one Her.
culean effort has released himself from
the slavery to which it had reduced him,
and is now 6 total abstinence man -
Grant that he may continue so.

The Mississippian of the 23d inst. con-
tains an article on the Mcleod case from
which we extract the following;
SHE (Mr Webster) is certainly DESTROYS
that the whole matter should be controlled
by the General Government, when he
would Immediately "direct nolLe pT0sequi
10 be entered" Suppose the case under
the control of the General Government
and Mcleod set at liberty, what sort of
redress could America receive? Would
pecuniary remuneration for the burn
ing of the Caroline atone for the outrage
and the loss of property committed upon
our laws and heal the wound inflicted up
on the honor of the nation, by the she'd
ding of the blood of our citizens? If ii
would, insulted American honor, in the
keeping of Mr.. Webster, would be easily
pacified. If America were to demand
redress, and England chose to give up the
offender, we should be just where we are
now; but should England refuse any
atonement, as she certainly will, for she
Justlfies this outrage to the world, Anne
RIGA will be driven to the necessity of de
claring war. There would be no getting
round it, unless she tamely submits tC
the butchery of her people and the plum
der of their property"
Suppose Mcleod tried and executed
would the wound inflicted upon the no
nour of the nation by the outrage com
mitted by Mcleod, be healed thereby
lfso, it is paltry vengeance we seek; an,
insulted American honour'' in the keep
ing of those who think so Z" would be ca
silly pacifed" The hanging of blus
tering braggadocio, who would be guilt,
of the commission of such an outrage
would afford great satisfaction to tn,
American people, surely. If we wer,

of A. w. Poree, Esq, successor to the
late Samuel Wright, Commission Mer'
chant, New Orleans"
Port Gibson Correspondent
We heard very respectable gentle
man say few days since that he had
received one of the same "ciTculars,"
and that Mr.. Poree could not get his cot
ton. This gentleman has been swindled
already very extensively IN New Or
leans, and he has no better security that
uMr. A. w. Poree, successor to the la.e
Samuel Wright, Commission Merchant,
New Orleans" will not do 1t, than he has
from any other commission merchant
He has Mr.. P's promise that he will act
honestly with his cotton; the same pro-
mise he can get from a thousand. We
do not know this gentleman and of course
know nothing about his integrity. But
we are opposcdto the system of humbug-
gerry that is attempted to be practiced IN
this case. Mr. Samuel Wright came out
in furious opposition to his brother mer-
chants in New Orleans, called them
swinders and thieves without mercy, and
set himself up as the only honest mer-
chant among them. He was to uproot
old systems, and found a new mode of
doing business in the Crescent city. lie
was going to do the honest thing, and
strange to say he was the only man that
could be found to attempt such an ardu-
Gus task. In his violent professions Of
friendship for the planters of Mississippi,
not one of whom did he probably know,
he was organed by the Vicksburg Senti-
nel-which for while, in the dissem-
mination Of abuse Of the New Orleans
swindlers, reminding the people at the
same time that Mr. Wright was prepared
to do an honest commission business, be-
came so notorious for violent vitupera-
ton and almost universal detraction that
to crafty that taste for novelty which
will predominant, it was much sought af
ter The untimely death of Mr.. Wright
has deprived all olan opportunity to test
the sincerity of his professions. Now
his clerk, probably very clever, no.
nest man, advances himself to carry out
the designs of his predecessor. Any man
must be extremely credulous who will
place implicit reliance on the bare as
sertion, of man they do not know, that
other men engaged in the same profess
sion that he is, are rascals, and that he,
himself, is honest. Now, we had as
lieve the planters should patronize Mr..
Poree as any other New Orleans mer-
chant, but that is, in all reason, exchan-
ging one dilemma for another.
We could Ike to see the planters of Ms
sissippi sell their cotton an The Sfate.-
Then, they could themselves superinteni
the sale Of it, Lei them withhold their
cotton, till purchasers are forced to come
into the State to buy. But this idea OF
the planters evading being swindIed by
sending their cotton TO Mr.. w. or Mr.. P
or Mr.. H., or substituting new one for
the /" list system" SO called, is all con-
temptible fallacy; and speculation must
have been designed by the originators
and propagators of it.
