The BRlTIsH PRoyNcEs.-We are indebted to
Gunnson q Co. for late ST John, n b., papers.
From the ST. -dndre,c's Standard we learn that the
fire in that place (Which has before been men,
tloned) was the largest which has ever occurred
there. The ropewalk and buildings owned by J.
x X. Jarvis, with their new ship, nearly ready for
launching, and two dwelling houses, with the fur
nlture, &c, were destroyed; one owned by Capt
Peter Smith, and occupied by G. Pendlebery; the
who has lost every thing. The fire was dis
covered by Messrs. Jarviss apprentices, about
half pas. two O'Clock on Monday afternoon last
1t appears that some tar, which was boiling for the
purpose OF tarrng rope, boiled over, and a lad at
tending 1t threw some water on the flames, which
spread to the side of the building situated at the
lower end oil the building, which immediately
lgnited, and the whole establishment, extending
from Water street 10 the shore of the barber near
Such was the rapldity with which the flames
spread that even the workmen employed in build
ing the vessel had not time to save their working
tools, and the boys employed IN the 'walk'' were
Obliged to save themselves by Jumping out of the
windows and doors. Messrs. Jarvis's loss in
cludng the ropewalk, rope, several suits of new
sails, new ship, &c, is estimated at 100000. No
insurance on the ropewalk &c. and only GlOOO
on the vessel
The Nc,c B,unsw,cker says that the schooner
Barbara, which left Halls Harbor, Cornwall
wrecked on or near Dore Head, New Advocate
Harbor, on Sunday night, the 23d, and four per-
sons met watery grave, viz, Mrs. Lloyd. and
two children, belonging to Eastport, and young
man named Munro, son OF the master, CAPTAIN
Munro another Mrs. Lloyd, and another son of

The Colonel, however, did not appear, and a lead

Judging from indications, he would not have been
permitted to speak. Several gentlemen, sc me of

The politicians here are anxiously waiting to
have then doubts resolved in relation 10 the result
Of The North Carolina elections. The democrats
hoping thar tier cause has triuinphed, and the
wings fearing General Apathy instead OF General
Tay Tor, has had the effect of defeating the can
ddsies az their brethren there The political
rialio in front of the Sta,e.house row, is daily
crowded with the democratic portion ct our po-
pticans discussing the chances Here, too, may be
seen The pursy ofiiceholders. boring the man select
ed by the citizens the ward in which he resides to
represent their wishes In the nominating conven-
tlon, in order TO get his vote for denomination
II Is wonderful how polite these ofiiceholders and
office eXpe Giants have become within the last few
days. They now hail fellow well met with
individuals that they formerly kept at re-
spectful distance; and the change is attributable
TO the fact that they were elected delegates on
Monday evening last, and will have voice III the
nominations TO be made.
The money market is extremely tight, and the
Stockholders, Of limited means, have to sell at
the market price, 10 procure funds TO meet engage
mems previously made. The pressure is more felt
1Y this class than among the merchants, and has
been felt by several amateur spectators who have
recently gone by the board.

CIVIL AND DIPLOMATIC APPROPRIATION BILL.
MT BowDEN offered remarks in favor of the claim
OF David Taylor, an old man, who married Indian
woman and who, under the Cherokee treaty Of 1896
The land was taken away from him and he applied for
reimbursement OF the value in money. Commits
soners had adjudcated the case, and decided in his
favor The officers of the government say the claim
is Just (s49o) but they think that legislation by Con-
gress is necessary.
MIR. CLINcMAN, by permission, said few words and
in conclusion said he was satisfied that the Indian
bureau was thoroughly corrupt
Mr.. fARAN replied indigna ntly that Col Medil the
Commissioners, was not the man to do wrong; and he
said in the face Of the American people, that
doubt the gentleman himself would be satisfied that he
had made mistake
Mr.. BowDEr remarked, that while remarks be-
ing made as to the merits dement's of the Commits
sioner, no harm would be done to the claims of old
man Taylor.
The time to which debate limited expired, and
the committee proceeded to vote the Senate amend
