A Fire occurred In this place on Monday Even
ing last, which destroyed five stables and is suppo-
scd to have been the work of un inceniliary. The
fire commenced in the stable of Mr. Gulick, on the
alley south Of Market street, which was consumed
together with the adjoining stables of Messrs. We'll
ker Bright, Weser and Hail. The stables were
well filled with hay, grain, &C., and thch dcstruc-
ton is serious loss TO their ownefs,- timacd at
about $4,000. The horses and cattle were got out
before the flames had made much progress. Fouu-
nat,iy there was dead calm at the time, the
destruction Of property would have been much grea-
ter. Much praise is due TO the tire.nen and citizens
generally and the ladies', as usual Oh such occasions
exhibited their bump of benevoence by working
right manjuHY. while some Of the roughcr sex qui.

did not know what to do If unfortunately another
such occasion should happen, let all such person.

that this company should want a competent mum

THE ELECTION.

The result of the late election III tha state is
most gratifying to the Democracy. There never
was triumph which called for greater rejoicngs,
than the present. bu, the Wings are so humbled by
defeat as to excite our pity and induce us to fore
go our glorifcation. We have elected our Gover-
nor by an odfashioned democratic majority. The
Assembly stands sixrY.roun Democrats and
rniRrr-six Wings. In the Senate there are l6
democrats and 10 Wings, snd one doubtful viz
in the district composed Of Allegheny and Butler,
each party claiming the majority. The following
results of,hc election for Governor are believed to
be correct, although not official. The counties
