SINGULAR OccuRRENcE-One Of our Oldest and
most learned divincs on Sunday morning suffered
temporary and rather serious absence OF mind !;
but before the hour of morning service arrived,
was supposed to have entirely recovered and went
to his church to perform the duties Of his calling
He proceeded regularly with the services OF the
day, and preached an extemporaneous discourse
which was declared by many who heard it, TO be
one of the most eloquent, prosperous and argu-
mentative sermons they had ever listened TO-
After the clergyman arrived home it was no.
ticed that his mind was again wandering and
proper medical treatment was resorted TO and ne
has since in great measure recovered. He states
that he has not the slightest recollection of preach
ING on the last Sabbath or even OF being al church,
50 that nc must have delivered eloquent and
lucid discourse while in a state of suspended m
tclcctual action, phenomena certainly OF a Gu
rious and unusual character. The only dlscrc-
pancies observed in the services of the day were
two after reading the commandments the cler-
gyman repeated the sixth and when giving out
the second hymn he gave out the same one which
had been just previously sung.

A most destructive fire occurred at Kingston
on the 26th August, by which one tenth part oi
the town has been reduced TO ashes. The fire
commenced in foundry, with steady breeze
blowing, which caused it to spread in all dlrec-
tons. In reference to the conduct Of the ne
groes during the fire, the Jamaica Despatch OF
the lst Sept. says:
Were it not total Of gratitude and good feel
ing they should have least remembered past benefits
ceivedthey should amongst Others have recoeced The
conduct pursued towards them. when they visited so
dreadfuy with the scarlet feverhad they the slightes
heart they would have looked back nnumeabe benefits
received BY their class, the different periods when they
have REQ quired aid and assistance"
A black man named Moore, who had uttered
threats of farther destruction to the city, was
arrested and lodged in prison. Various rewards
have been offered for the recovery of property
stolen during the fire, and fl,00O for the dis
covery of the ncendiary.

Extra, in announcing the arrest of tins person,
thus states the manner Of his arrest at Newcastle,
Del, TO which place he was obliged to travel N
his stocking feet, his boots having given out:
He now began to feel himself IN miserable

what became OF him. He wrote to Mr.. Henry
Vail, OF the Bank Of Commerce, IN New York,
with whom, ne previously had some acquaintance,
requesting that gentleman TO send HIM ten dol
lars. Instead Of complying with his request Mr.
Vail handed the letter 10 officer Mchibbin, who.
in company with officer Brown, proceeded to
Newcastle, and there found Whitmore, as We
have stated Upon being arrested, he told the
officers he was glad they were come, submitted
10 be searched, and told them he would go with
them where they pleased without any requisition.
He answered fully Ill questions put to hm says
that no person bul himself was concerned n or
privy to the forgeries and that he had confidently
expects. to get through without any ones suffer
ing by the frauds he had committed, and that he
would have done SO had not the bank sent that
first bill to the Navy Yard the old story OF Rath-
bun and hundred others

r. THy ANNEXATION OF TEXAS TO the lerT-
tory Of the United States has been one of the to-
pics which have engaged the earnest attention Oh
John Quincy Adams for several years. Every
o,e will remember the able and protracted afgu-
| ment which he made against 1t when IT was o'o-
nosed: and he has never ceased to deciale' ~
,nblic addresses, from that time 10 THIS that le
project was not abandoned, though paAieu
hnt that il was still one OF the most chefisieu ue
-;o,,s of the Southern Section of the Union, one,
too which would never be rellnqulshed until 1t
sbould be seen to be utterly hopeless. de has
holdlv CHARGED prominent Members OF the Loco
Foco party, and others. WHO now uphold Iyler's
administration. with aiming at this object, and
has omitted no opportunity, and spared no ex-
ertions, to arouse the people at the North to a
sense Of the danger thus threatened. His warn
ings have very generally been thought premature
and have therefore, excited but little of the atten
ton which the subject merits. It is worthy OF
notice that the proposition TO annex Texas to the
Union is now not only suggested but argued and
upheld in various papers in different parts OF the
country. The Presldents's organs, the Aurora
and Sun Of this city. the Madisonian and other
Journals in the pay Of the Administration, have
contained elaborate articles Of great length IN sup
port of the annexation, and the \. 0. Bulletin OF
late date has some remarks upon the same SUD-
icct, closing as follows
At all events, we think the proec: Of a,ion IS woF-
