Destructive Fire.


On Wednesday afternoon, about half past 3 o.
clock. the Railroad Depo, in this village was dis.
coveredlo be on FIRE in the upper part of The bnil-
ding. Our citizens rallied with tho utmost alac-
rtv to stay the progress Of the flames, but before
suficiency Of water could be obtained, the fire had
extended over the whole Of the east end of the
building. The wind blowing briskly from the
west, the flames spread with great rapidly. and
soon communicated to the large ware house close.
" contiguous. The wind at this time re-
doubled in its strength; and blew such shower Of
fire from both the burning buildings on to the
warehouse owned by v. fl. Powell, Esq. that it
was impossible to save it. At the same time the
fire communicated to the dwelling houses occupied
by Mr. Powell and the four buildings were thus
enveoped in flames az once. The Utmost that
could be done by the citizens was 10 save the sur,
rounding buildings. At one time the whole OF the
Lower Village was in Danger, from The shower OF
falling fire which alighted on every building. and
on every thing combus,ible: Fire was commu-
nicated in many places; but by the vigilance of the
Citizens. 1t ex,inguished without damage.
The Depot was The property of the State. 1t
was fine building, and cost about five thousand
dollars. About ten thousand flour barrels, belong
ing TO different individuals, were consumed in the
warehouses.
The fire vas supposed TO originate from the
sparks Of the Locomotive, going east, while stand

EDITOR OF THE HERALD -
Albany is overstocked with office seekers and
their friends-men who have either axes to grind,
or who are payed to grind them for others; and II
is amusing for a ooker-on to mix with the several
cliqnes, hear their remarks of each other, and OBJ
serve the various means resored to in order to ac-
compllsh their ends. Among the most prominent
from New York are the candidates for the Health
office, and Pot and Pearlashes 1t is alleged by
the friends of the present incumbent, DIR. Van Ho-
venbergh, that he has fulfilled the duties of the
oitice in the most satisfactory manner-given libe
rally to the party, and that precedence has estab-
llshed the holding OF so perilous Office for four
years. BY others it is said, that he was not enti.
tied to the place originally, to the exclusion of se
veral whose claims and competency were of a
much stronger character; that he has already rea-
allied 1925 GOO, sum sufficient to satisfy the nav
OF any ordinary partisan-that he has been engaged
IN the washing and emigrant business, and that he
violated the law OF the State in allowing the schoo-
ner to 60 up the North river dealing death and
destruction around her, lnuring commerce exten-
ss,vely, and putting the city and county of New
York to several thousand dollars unnecessary ex.

i is SAID he is penurious, and refuses to

fuence or any claims, and would never have
received the office but for the intrigue of Senator
Varan, his brother-in.aw, who log-rolled with
Senator Scott, the one for the Health officer, the
other for the Pots and Pearls. One thing, how
ever. is positive, that no one here can correctly
ascertain the wishes of the "democracie' OF the
city of New York, for all either office seekers,
or in their employ, and as no appointment can be
made without vacancy, the fight is fierce between
the parties. What Governor Wright will do defes
