seems quite brisk; and the arrival and departure
of so many American vessels would lead one to
suppose that our countrymen take an active part
in It. Rio is much the same as it was when |
last visited it. some two years since. The same

not the less winning than those Of other days
The same melancholy song issues from the lips of
the tolling African as he hurres forward with his
load upon his head; his spirit broken by his ner-

the Cabinet Ware. Rooms of NJ. II. w. Parsons,
Broadway, which soon spread to the adjoining
store Of Mr. Gllier, Carver, that of Mr. Drew,
also occupied as IA Cabinet Ware Store and Sc

entirely destroyed; but the furniture was mostly
saved The building was owned by Mir. &. W.
Brln and was worth but trife. We could not
learn that there was any insurance either on the
goods or buildings. By great exertion on the
part of the firemen, Niblo's and the Bath House
of Henry DurelI were 2avcd. Both would un-
have been dcs..oyed but for the benefit
of our glorious Crotor. The performances of the
Italian corps at Niblos were discontinued simul-
tancously with the alarm.

Jersey, have averaged nine thousand baskets, or
about seven thousand bushels per day. The two
weeks preceding this period the quantity received

baskets per day. In the early part of the season
peaches OF good quality were very scarce; they
wcrcas large as usual, but we're generally sour and
wanting IN richness and delicacy of flavor. During
the last week, however, we received better arti-
