= Sriool to,' lice We have benin posses
sion for some tiGe back, Of facts relative to
the existence in West Columbia street, of one
Of those sinks Of iniquty, which lead thousands
o.! youths from the paths of virtue, and prepare
tuem for any and every degree of vice; aud
have retained from making any public men
ton OF it, with a view to the furtherance Of
public good, through the interference Of those
whose duty it is TO abate and destroy such nuI
sances, but the proprietor of the house having
been permitted to escape, we now give some
facts in reference to the matter. The house in
question appears to have been general resort
for boys, where they are allowed to indulge
freely in the use Of strong drink and gambling.
The neghbgrhood has been frequently annoy
ed at night, nor did the Sabbath day command
any respect either from the proprietor or his
juvenile visitors. Parents have sought, found
and taken their offspring from this den Of inI-
guilty, where they have found them seated at
dirty tables and playing with filthy cards. snOk-
ing abomnable segats, drinking poisonous ad-
mixtures oflquors, uttering blasphemous oaths.
We are pleased to learn that efforts are being
made to bring the guilty parties, who have
so far escaped for want OF proper energy on
the part Of an officer, 10 justice.
.NIting in tie "Home Squadron" The cti-
zeus living in the neighborhood of the City
Hall, are very anxious 10 be informed of the
cause of SO large a gathering in that vicinity,
for several afternoons past, of Commodore
Mulcn's good men and true" We cannot
inform them at present, but incline to the be-
lief that there has been a revolt of some kind;
but whether against his honor the Mayor, the
City Commissioners, or the gallant Commo-
dore himself, we are at loss to determine
Can any one throw some light upon the sub
ject
P,es. The alarm OF fire yesterday morning
about O'clock was caused by the burning OF
the large two story house No. II Little Water
St, formerly occupied as the Eastern Shore
Hotel. The roof and upper story were entire
ly consumed. 1t was unoccupied, and was
doubtless fired by some wanton incendiary. 1t
will be remembered that the back building at
tached to the same property was fired few
nights since, and partially destroyed. The
house belongs to Col. Samuel Mcclellan, and
is insured in the Equitable Office for $500,
which will more than cover the loss. Another
alarm was given about half an hour after the
above, caused by the burning of some sheds
