NEW PUBLICATIONS.

We are indebted to the publisher for the October
number Of the "Columban Lady's and Gentemans
Magazine" edited by John Inman and Robert A.

Nassau street.
The number of this excellent periodical now be-
fore us, contains the usual variety of good engra.
Wings and spirited and interesting articles Of light
reading
Mr.. VIM. F. Bayly, agent, Pennsylvania av-
enue has placed on our table the September number
of Leonard Scou's American edition Of Blackwood;
Of which it is sufficient to say, that it is Backwood
verbatim ct Hferan, at one-third the price of the
foreign edition, to recommend it to all American
readers of standard literature.
The publishers have sent US, through the hands
of Mr.. Franck Taylor, bookseller, agent the October
number of Hunts ever-welcome "Merchants' Mag
azinc and Commercial Review" containing many
important articles upon commerce and commercial
law. This is the only publication in America in

Of time, without being impressed with the fact, that
those who edo business" with the full knowledge
of what they are about, which this periodical proves
that some men have, are truly entitled to be
called scientific, so far as commerce is concern

trade, while storing the minds of its readers with
information not more useful to the merchant than
interesting to men engaged in all pursuits, who as

GRE AT FIRE IN MONTREAL--OvER ONE HUI
DRIED HOUSES DESTROYED!


DRIED HOUSES DESTROYED!
A slip from the Office of the Montreal Herald con-
tains the following:
A dreadful fire occurred in Griffin Town this
morning, which destroyed nearly ono hundred
houses, as near as we can reckon. Two houses have
been blown up, under the direction Of Major Evans,
and several others torn down, for the purpose Of
preventing the fire progressing.
Griffin Town now forms compact portion OF
Montreal; il formerly connected with the city,
as "Greenwich village" was to New York.
The fire originated in building on Queen street,
occupied coffee mandatory and copper-smth s
shop where il could have been confined had there
been decision and power to demolish few small
rapidly from building to building, over nearly the
entire block, from Queen street on the north to
Prince street on the SOUTH from Wellington street
east to Gabriel street wesg house at the corner
Of Queen and Gabriel streets, and part of build
ing at the corner Of Queen and Wellington streets,
were saved in damaged condition; the part of the
one at the corner of Wellington and Queen was cut
in two, and the burning end severed from the
other.
The FIRE crossed Prince street, consumed the next
block through to Nazareth street, and crossed
Nazareth street, burning one or more buildings on
the south side of that street, or three were blown
up to arrest the fire.
The buildings consumed were, many of them, of
rather ordinary kind, occupied by families in the
humble walks of life; the distress and privation,
therefore, caused by the fire, very great There
were nail factory and casting-shop, several gro
Gerry and tavern stands, dwellings occupied by nu-
merous poor families, building where church ser
vice had been held during the summer; also, hand
some Methodist church and parsonage, several fine
stone ard brick stores and dwellings, and quite an
amount of property destroyed.

TEXAS LAWS.

A friena mas placed in our hands work
entitled Digest Of the Laws of Texas, by James
Wilmer Dalam, Of Matagorda, Texas" Il pur-
ports to be digest of the laws now in force in
that republic, and particularly all the laws relative
to the public lands. 1t is good sized, well printed
volume, and is just from the press. The first part
contains in alphabetical order, the law under differ
ent heads; which is, in fact, the common law of
England, except where the Texan constitution and
statutes have altered it. The land laws, however,
form the principal title, and are Of paramount inter-
est The rights, privileges, and liabilities connected
with public lands in Texas, are worthy Of consider
ation by those who feel soliciude concerning that
inviting and interesting country The second part
of the volume contains numerous brief decisions by
the supreme court of Texas. The few that we have
looked over are clear and well reasoned, and carry
upon their face evidence that they emanated from
clear-headed practical men. An appendix contains
the principal laws enacted by the Texan Congress.
Gentlemen Of the bar, and others socitous for the
welfare Of that rising State, will doubtless be graft
fed with an opportunity Of becoming the owners Of
this work.

THE MURDERERs OF COLONEL DAvEN.
PORT.

Birch, alias Haines, and John Long, alias Howe,
have been arrested for the murder, and brought to
Chicago, ON the 25th ult. The "Chicago Democrat
| says, that
aBoth these men are well known in the Rock
river region and need no description at our hands
The people there will also rejoice to learn that Fox,
alias Sutton, was arrested, long time since, by this
same chivalrous Bonney, and has been kept in irons
secretly safe in one of the ias Of this State. In
der to prevent alarm it was reported that he was ar
rested for demonstrating, as the gang have accom-
plces all over the western States, many Of whom
will not steal or murder, but will, knowingly, har-
Dor those who do both.
sThis intrepid Bonney, who lives at Montrose,
Lee county, Iowa, took an interest in discovering
the murderers Of Miller and Licey, who were the
two Hodges and Tom Brown. He succeeded in
bringing the two Hodges to the gaIows but Tom
Brown is still at large and has recently been traced
from Iowa to Missouri, Indiana, and Ohio. lie
was making arrangements to pass counterfeit
money--fnding out the proper places TO STOP, and
the men TO circulate it.
at will be remembered that, when the two
Hodges we're tried, Birch, Sutton, Long q Co., were
on hand to prove abb, as usual. II was of no
, avail, however. They were hung-protesng, not
their innocence, but that there was not evidence
enough to hang them.
"Bonney succeeded SO we'll in the case Of the
Hodges that he was induced to undertake the dis

which would deprive him Of his magic, he discover
ed that the murderers of Colonel Davenport were
Birch, Sutton, and Long, and two others, who
should be arrested and taken to Rock Island wherev-
or found, with or without process. The two
others are John Baxter and Aaron Long. Let all
those knowing these men organize posse instanter,
and take them to Rock Island
"The people Of the Rock-river country cannot be
too grateful to Bonney for his three-months' con-
slant, shrewd, and daring pursuit Of these muir,
derers; and he should have his 80 500 in ready gold
the moment he delivers them up. We hope there
will be no backing out the reward, as is too Of
ten the case. We have never heard or read Of adj
| ventures equal to his; and say, let him have his
due praise. No one knows the amount Of treasure
and Of blood he has saved-they having already
one engagement to rob (and who knows but a doz-
eni) on hand.

detection, buried the money they obtained from
