Under the influence Of more favorable advices rom
India and the previously existing ull In the excie-
ment.of Continental politlcs irade In nearly every
department was beginning TO resume more cheer
full aspect There Is still uneasy feeling respect
ing The threatened hosites in the North of Europe
but since the abrupt and decisive termination Of the
conflict between the Sandman aud Austrian forces,
and tho complete prosrailon and abdicaiion Of
Charles Albert one OF the most serious obstacles TO
satisfactory adjustment of the Continental difficult
ties seems TO have been overcome; and could this
Danish quarrel be disposed OF, which unfortunately
here is no present prospect Of, nothing material
Could stand in the way Of permanent prosperity.
The English Funds nre again on The advance, aud
Consols have risen ne-oighih per cent during the

for money. 9 s
We have the latest London and Liverpool papers,
but do not observe the least alusion TO American
Stocks. Money, though still abundant has slighiy
increased In value. The lowest Bank rates Is still
per cent, but with private Banks the best bills are
still done At about l-2 per cent. The returns Of
the Bank Of England show that The bullion In the
vaults Is about els, OO0 that any drain which
arises from the United Stntes ia connection with the
present inequality Of the exchanges will bs met

The importation Of Breadstntis into Great Britain

to the State the editor Of the Banner sas a.
candidate for office, and Gordon and myself
edited the Banner perhaps three or four
weeks, when Gordon withdrew. He occs-
~sionally for a short, time afterwards, yrote
a short article or communication, which was
generally trimmed and pruned. This per-
haps gave him offence and caused him to
withdraw. l am also authorized to say the
same thing Is true of his "sOle editing be-
fore I came to the State. He %insinuates
that it was held out to the people that he
was to edit the Banner, in the event Of the
election of a certain candidate. Does he
suppose that that procured many votes?
am authorized to say that in that event Il
was not known certainly who would edit
the Banner, and no one was spoken Of as GER
tain, and that nothing of the kind was held
out to the voters-that his name. might have
been mentioned with the "probables,'' and
only when Intercepted upon that subject.
I hare been inEormcd that Gordon himself
eiecfiOneered with that capital. Is this the
cause Of his malice?
He asks why was his name selected, from
amongst the most talented of the .Democ-
iracy, and published in the Banner previous
to the last August election as the name Of
one who was every acay qualified to repre-
sent the Democrats Of Pike in the Legisla-
ture Of Missouri. His name was not Sc
scfed; it was classified with names that had
been mentioned in connexion with that Of
fce-to what extent they were all mention
ed our readers in Pike are aware. But it
will be borne in mind this was done without
a knowledge Of his "free soii'' notions and
wing commandments then not by my.
sell. Is this the way he trumpets himself
into notice? He charges me with with
holding facts in my possession, in relation
to a certain transaction which he has rela-
ted. withheld no facts to his prejudice
that I knew to be such. The only fact that
] do know in relation TO the circumstance
he has related. is his habit Of drumming the
man that he styles in his article great and
good. E. c. MURRAY.

the 9th inst, nearly two columns Of fulsome
abuse and sicxly arguments were aimed at
the Banner, BY, as we believe, the "corpo-
ration" editor, in defence of its abolition
editor and the Wilmot proviso. This we
passed as unworthy Of notice. Not salts
fled with that, he indites in his last issue
the above quotation, placing himself in the
right and us in the wrong, and then says he
is willing to stop! live
are rather too fast, he didn't stop here, but
inserts in the same paper a personal COM
munication from a ma whom he says "wss
ruthlessly and vindictively assailed in the
Banner" &c. As that man has spoken
over his name, would it not have been as
generous in this editor to ethim set himself
Our readers will at once see the
fairness Of this man. After calling us mean
and such other epithets as his comprehen-
sire mind could grasp, in the Record Of the
9Th, he too, like his fallen coadjutor, shifts
the responsibility Of his abuse upon the
shoulders Of an ignoramus, and hints, also,
that this mutton-head AIDED fellow is at the Re-
cord Office, with a sgrest array of bone and
MUSCLE" and is solely responsible for their
abuse. Now if this fellow is really ambi-
tious of a "set-to," and will SO inform US,
we will engage, If we car, a "big buck me-
gro;' to take a tilt with him at an early day.
In the same article this writer makes the
following assertion: "This paper the Re-
cord has but one editor, and that one is
o%urself; boss as we before said, and en-
t,rey and solely responsibility as editor and
proprietor"
Is there any one in Ills community who
can read the above extract, and then the
in another article in this paper,
without feeling his cheeks tinge with shame
for these men? We now say to the scrib-
blers for the Record, we have no objection
to such ninnies writing for that paper,
when unjustly assailed, we will, as far
as we can, saddle the responsibility upon
the responsible man. We seek no %contro-
Versy--"we shrink from no responsibility
fair field and open action is all we desire.

About ten o'clock last night, the steamer
White Cloud, lying near the head Of The
|~leyee, undiscovered to be on FIRE. AZ the
time, there was Q stiff breeze blowing from
the north east, which soon carried the flames
acros to the Edward Bates, the next Boat
below, tho heat from these, set fra 10 the
Eudora, lying above them ; the Bells Isle,
next below the Bates, then caught fire. By
this time, enc or two boats below were
dropped down, leaving 9 vacancy Bssween
those on fire and the boats below them.
At this tim. The Edv and Bates being
about half burnt up, was cast ksse and
went floating down the levee, setting fire to
those boats still lying at the levessss she
approached them, in The followinassasr:-
7 he Julis-bnt slightly injured the Unels
Sam, also but Sligktly injass&is1ss Bates
but barely touched these boats, beng sihass
Immediately below her. The following
steamboats,, with a large number Of wood
boats, barges, SC. &C., were entirely con-
sumed:-The Martha, Sarah,,, Tagliona,
Montauk, Red Wing, Alexander Hamilton,
Boreas No. 8, Timour, Mandan, St. Peters,
Kit Carson, Mameluke, PaiTis State.
We do not presume that this comprises
all the boats destroyed, but these are all
the names we were able to get hold of.
The following boats were saved:-The
Autocrat, De Witt Clinton, Danube, En-
bassy, South America, New Uncle Sam,
julia, Old Uncle Sam, Marshal Ney.
So intense was the heat arising from this
great c~oniagration, which extended with
short intervals from the head of the levee
to the head of Duncsn's Island, that it set
fire to the buildings at various points along
the levee, ell of which above Vine street
were ~extinguished, but a low of shantiss
extending from Locust up towards Vine
street was destroyed, and now, while we
are writing, one O'Clock this morning the
entire block bounded by the l~svee, Main,
Olive, and Locust streets, is wrapped in
flames, as are those houses in the SQUARE
If onting the levee between Pine and Olive
streets.
And various houses on the west side of
Main street, from Csnters & Simons at the
corner Of Locust and Main streets to Olive.
MIR. John Mader's large cooper shop at the
south west corner Of the levee and Elm
street, and, also, q large two-story brick
house on the west side Of Main below Elm
street, andthe flames are rapidly spreading,
and where they may be stayed man cannot
tell. This is by far, the most awful catas.
|trophe that has ever fallen to the lot of anv
city west ofthe Allegany mountains.
In addition 10 the property enumerated. thsrs
was a vast amount oil grain in sacks, hemp, bacon,
&c, &C., nlthe lsyee, which. caught from ths
heat sent of by the boats and was DESTROYED. and
unfortunately, on one pile Of hemp which WAS
