BuRN1Ne OF ST. JoHN's, NEwFouND-.
LAND. Fifty Lives Lost. We learn from
Capt. Scarrow, of the brig Blucher, arriv-
ed at Quebec, June Gath, from Harbor
Grace, Newfoundland, that just before he
left that place, mail arrived from St.
Johns, bringing the dreadful news that the
whole of the city Of st. Johns, except two
stores, had been burned down on the 9th
inst, and that fifty soldiers had been killed
in blowing up house to arrest the fire.
Eighteen vessels were also burnt in the
harbor. 3.as
The loss must be sevely felt by its in
habitants, it being the business part ofthe
town, and being at a season when the mer-
chants are engaged in the manufacture Of
their oil, a large quantity Of which must
have been in the yats. .as y
The loss will also fall heavily on the
fishermen, as they will find great difficulty
in procuring provisions to prosecute the
cod.fshery the present season.
St. Johns, N. F., contains q population
of about 10000 inhabitants. The town
was burnt twice before-once in 1924
when most Of the inhabitants took refuge on
board the vessels in the harbor---and again
lin 1910. II seems be an ill1fated town.
The buildings were principally wood. M

THE THREE SUITORS.

In a pleasant village in New England
lived Esq. Damon his wife and their only
daughter Mary, who had arrived at the in
teresting age Of 10 years. She had enjoy
ed fine advantages, and was intelligent.
amiable, accomplished and beautiful. She
was desefvedly looked upon by the young
saen Of her native village, as q prize worth
possessing. And she was especially sought
for by three worthy young menso her &C
quainlance, viz: James Anthony, who was
aayoung lawyer, David Rogers, a young
physician, and George Newman, d Black
smith, James and David were both con-
fident of success, and at length became
Jealous rivals of each other. Although the
fair and gentle Mary treated them civilly,
and respected and esteemed both, she de-
lclined giving any preference to either.
Being Of an amiable disposition she strove
toavoid giving them any occasion Of offence
OF causing them any painful feelings. She
became deeply and painfully sensible that
she wasanlost tenderly beloved by them,
and yet knew both could not .realize the
warm desire of their. hearts. Mss nc &C:
George Newman also loved Mary most
arxiently, vet he presumed MOTTO make any
adyancesfor he despairedsof success, when
he saw his two powerful rivals who he
thought stood d much better chance ofsuc-
cess than himself. He vainly endeavor-
ed to content himself with feeling that af.
lection in silence which he cohld dnot subdue.
Although both James and David had. ven
fttured 10 express their affection to Mary
damon, yet George had never presumed tc
venture 10 far, tho he felt as intensely gas
they did. He knew he was inferior to his
rivals in ,parentage or respectability, yet

IMPORTANT FROM TAMPIco.. re-
heved from The Comnsand--.appointmet Of
Gen. Mej;a.-The New Orleans cores
pondent Of the Charleston We,os, furnishes
the following, under date of June 81:
The French brig Princess Marie arrived
here yesterday from Tampico, 9th inst.
We learn from one ofthe passengers, that
the authorities at Tampico were divided into
two parties. One of the parties with the
military, has Gen. Anastisio Paviodi at its
head, was in favor of Federation and Santa
Ana. The other party was for arming the
people in favor of Federation without Santa
Ana. A third party was about rising up,
when our informant left; but none Of the
parties had come to any understanding yet.
Official dispatches had arrived at Tampico
that Gen. Arista had been removed from the
command Of the Northern Division Of the
Army and Gen. Meiia superseded him.
There were 800 troops only at Tampico
on the 9th. Seventy mine of these were
runaway negroes and mulatoes from this
place, New Orleans) and Havana. These
constitutes the whole amount of the Mexican
force from Tampico to the Rio Grande.

."A heavy bank Of clouds in the west came on

by violent wind. The rain fell in such torrents
that it was difficult to breathe facing the wind;
the thunder rolled necessarily, and the whole sky

1t is generally believed that Congress,
such as it is, will at once invest Paroles
with dictatorial powers for limited period,
and then suspend its session. Many Dep.
uties had openly declared in favor of this
course, and the country appeared to have
reached such crisis that the concentra-
ton of all power in a single hand appeared
to be called for. The Government had
convoked Junfa with the view of procur-
ing means for its emergencies. The Pres
ident had failed to procure the relief which
he had anticipated from the clergy.
The great topic of conversation at the
Capitol was the proposed departure Of Par
edos to take the command of the army of
the North. He himself was bent upon do
ing SO, although dissuaded by many consid-
erations Of policy and by the advice of his
friends. Should he take the field it is said
he would have under his command 10000
men, including in these the army Of reserve
and the troops Of Arista.
Arista assigns as his reason for with
drawing from Matamoras its destitution Of
provisions, and the want Of means to defend
it, if vigorously assailed.
Ell Indicator, of Vera Cruz, Of the 30th
ult., says positively that Paroles will
march to the frontier with the army Of re-
serve, so that there are laurels yet to be
won by our army and the brave volunteers.
The port Of Acapula has been declared
closed to foreign commerce while it re-
mains in possession oftha in9urgents under
Gen. Alvarez.
The blockade of TalnBico was commence
ed by the sloop of wat,St. Mary's on the

consuls, &C., us were given at Vera Cruz.
