AWFUL CALAMITY.
DESTRUCTION OF THE THEA
IRE ROYAL AT QUEBEC
GREAT LOSS OF LIFE!

Quebec has been visited again by anoth-
er dire calamity. On the night of the 18th
inst, about 10 o'clock; fire broke out in
the Theatre Royal, at the close of an ex-
hibition of Chemical Dioramas. A cam
phire lamp was by some means overset,
and the stage at once became enveloped
III flames. The house had been dense
ly crowded, but number had left before
the accident. A rush was at once made
to the staircase leading from the boxes, by
those who in the excitement of the mo-
ment forgot the other passage of egress.
In an mcreditable short space of time
(says an eye-witness) the whole Of the
interior of the building was in one sheet
OF flame. The scene was heart-rending
in the extreme;-as far into the interior
OF the burning house as could be seen
there was sea of heads, of wreathing
bodies and outstretched arms. In a few
minutes from the time the flames envel-
oped the building, the mass OF human
beings, who had but short interval pre-
vious been in the enjoyment OF full and
active life, were exposed to view mass
of calcined bones.
FoRTY-sTx BODIES HAD BEEN REcov-
Erred FROM THE RUINsl Most Of them
had been recognized:-a greater loss of
life than in the two dreadful conAagra-
tons of last summer. Sad wailing per-
vades the city. Scarcely street can be
traversed in which the closed shutter or
the hanging Grape do not betoken a asudz
den bereavement. Fathers, sisters, chill
dren, of both sexes, indulge in the dcep-
est lanen!ztion.

ARRIVAL OF THE STEAMER GAIL
WESTON.

The steamer Galveston was below al
New Orleans on the 18th inst, having
met with an accident to her wheels, and
reached the city on the 18th.
The Galveston had on board Major
Bell. Lieut.. Hooe, and number of Off
GERS and men wounded in the late actions,
and I0s passengers besides.
The Galveston left Brazos Santiago al
uoon on the sth inst, and Galveston the
evening of the 10th. The army was a
bout moving up the river to take the small
towns on its right bank.
The following additional particulars re-
ceived by the Galveston are rather impor-
tant:

ER BATTLE EAPECIED.
The following comprises all the news
which has reachud since our last, by the
arrival al Mobile of the U. S. schooner
Walcott, and Of the Galveston, at New
Orleans. 1t wiz be found to be impor-
tant as well as interesting:
The u. S. schooner Walcott, Joseph
Amazeen, Lieutenant commanding, arri-
we'd al Mobile on the 18th instant, after
eight days passage from the gplf squad
ron of the Rio Grande and Brazos Santi-
ago, with passed midshipman Arnold bear
ing dispatches from Com. Conner, al
Pensacola
From the officers of the cutter, the
Mobile Tribune learns the following par
ticulsrs in regard to the movements of the
army and gulf squadron.
Gen Taylor was at Matamoras waiting
Tor reinforcements to march on Monterey.
Seven hundred and fifty men were sta
toned at Barita; FIVE hundred at Point
Isabel; and the remainder with the gener-
al at Misunderstanding, in all, about
1900 strong.
The Mexican forces were between
Matamoras and Monterey, for the pur-
pose of repelling Gen Taylor's advance.
Report estimated them to be $4,000, but
this number is supposed to be exaggera-
ted The general impression was that
they would make a stand there, and, il
defeated, the war would be ended.
The squadron is dispersed about the
mouths of the different rivers, viz: The
St Mary's off Tanplco, frigates Raritan
and Mississippi, of Vera Cruz; brig Law
renee, off Rio Grande; brig Somers, of
Alvarado; The frigates Cumberland and
Potomac, sloops John Adams and Fall
mouth gone TO Pensacola for Provisions
and water. The brig Porpoise to St
Domingo with a special messenger on
board-Schooner Flirt left Rio Grande
on the evening OF the 5th for Vera Cruz
with purser Watson on board, bearing
dispatches to the senior officer in COM
mand, then off Vera Cruz. From so 10
60 sail inside the bar off Rio Grande and
Brazes ST. Iago. The Lawrence went to
sea on the evening Of the 9th, on cruiz
for ten days, at the expi alton of which
she was expected to return to Pensacola.

of this war.
We understand that Canales is at 0lmi-
tos Ranches, FIVE leagues on this side OF
Reynosa. levying contributions upon the
people, and plundering them OF all their
mules and other movable property. lie
has closed the road and intercepts all COM
munication from this direction, treating all
those who are suspected of coming from
this place with the greatest harshness.
From letter in the New Orleans Del
ia, dated Jnne Z, we make the following
extracts;
Gen Canales, with his 1900 cavalry,
has fallen back, and is entrenched at Re
moso. A brush may therefore be looked
for between him and the command of LIT.
Col. Wilson.
1t is rumored here that Gems. Scott and
Wool are ordered to Mexico; this intelli-
gence does not meet with the same favor.
On Thursday, the Ricardo Rangers
were sent out on scout, after some ARM
ed Mexicans, who were discovered prowi-
ing about III the vicinity of the Andrew
Jackson camp. They returned without
finding them, but on their march they DIS
covered, through information furnished
by Mexican, lot Of arms, swords, pIs-
tolls, etc., concealed in Ranchoro's s
honse, about FIVE miles from camp
These. as well as the possessor, were cap
tured bv them, and brought into camp
The proceeds ofthe booty will be distrlb-
uted among the captors.
Sickness prevails TO some extent
throughout the volunteers, confined, how
ever. to bowel complaints chiefly; but no
sign of fever. The water and green corn
are the principal causes.
MAJOR RINGGoLD's EFFEcTs.-A let
ter from n. Orleans to the Charleston
News says:-
The coat, boots, and complete uniform
of the late Major Ringgold, with his hol-
sters, ''housing and saddle bloody red,
were sent to his friends at Baltimore in
the brig Architect, Capt. Grey, which
cleared for that port yesterday. The
boots had been cut from his feet, and the
front Of the saddle was completely torn
away. From the judgment Of a person
in horses and riders | learn that Major
Ringgold must have been standing IN his
stirrups, giving orders, with body facing
a little TO the left. The ball, it is inferred,
came from the rear of the left and passed
in his front, shattering the thigh about
midway.
The Postscript of letter from Point Is
abel, dated June z, says:
Two men died in the Hospital here,
yesterday and day before; the balance,
with one or two exceptions, are doing
well. A number of wounded departed
for St. Joseph's yesterday. Isaw Capt.
Page moment ago, and saw his wound
dressed. He is out of danger, but has
made dreadful sacrifice 10 his country's
honor. Col. McIntosh is improving We
ry much, and the other wounded officers
arc doing very well.

spring, will make growth the first year
Cuttings are the best, because they can
be procured easily, abundantly, and
cheaply; they will bear carriage to any
distance, are exceedingly tenacious OF

Cuttings may be- sci either where they
are to remain, ~ which case several
