On Saturday, about ii clock, fire originated
on board the Niagara steamer, shortly after leav-
ing Rochester. When about twenty miles on this
side of Rochester, and mile and half from
shore, the engineer discovered smoke coming into
his room; seeming TO issue from an immense
quantity of brooms and cotton bales which. were
piled up between decks. BY the exertion Of the
men these were removed; but the fire was not
there. They, however, commenced chopping
away the casing Of the boiler, and the famea came
out so powerfully they were obliged to run back.
One Of the passengers recommended the captain
to run the vessel ashore, which he Immediately
commenced to do, and got into about nine feet of
water. Passengers and men were, however, ex-
erting themselves to get the fire under, and, with
very excellent fire engine belonging TO the vessel
they mounted the hurricane deck, where, with q
constant supply ofwater fom the engine tank, they
succeeded in subduing the flames, which for the
time seemed rather alarming. The captain again
started Off, keeping close along shore for two or
three hours until perfectly safed that the fire was
quenched. The whole of the wood-w which
encoses the boiler about inch, was charred
deep. The steamer arrived at the wharf on Satur-
day evening about half-past eight o'clock. being
nearly four hours beyond her usual time; but part
Of this delay was caused by a strong head-wind,
which, while it acted opposing force, tended
very much to fan the flame which had well-nigh
gained the mastery - TORONTO Canadal Globe.

this Jealousy was sincere, or whether it was

The Season.
f By T. HOOD
Summer q gone and ever
Fogs are falling down,
And with russell iinges,
Autumn's doing brown.
Bows are daily rifed
By the gusty thieves,
And the Book Of Mature,
Getteth short of leaves.
Round the tops of houses,
Swallows as they fit,
Give, like yearly tenants,
Notices to quit.
Skies, Of tickle temper,
Weep by turns and laugh
Night and Day together,
Taking half and half.
So September endeth-- ~
Gold and most perverse--- "
Burthe months that follows
Sure will pinch us worse!

to the skin at all seasons is proper, and ia inf
nitely more healthy than all the daily baths now

stantly removed as fast rs cxuded, its destined

OF the perspi"tory glands, and the glands them
selves, require this unctious matter of the skin
to keep them in healthy action. livery frequent
bathing OF the whole body is praciced, it must
be obvious that this matter cannot be long pre-

be apparent, that when the skin ncts i,nparfectay

The RELEASE OF kOsSUTB.-A letter from
Constantinople Of the 3d. says -" You perhaps
supposed that the question relative to the Hum
garian refugees, was terminated BY the conver-
ton between the Porte, Russia and Austria, but
that is not the case. This question seems des-
tined to drag on, like all those relative to the
east. and Austria has Just raised pretensions
which threaten to revive the matter with oil the
accessories Of notes, negotiations, and interven-
tons. According to the convention mentioned
above, the Porte engaged to keep underits guard
| the Hungarian refugees for year, conceIvlps
that period to begin from the time when they
sought refuge iu the Ottoman territory, unless
the tranquility of Hungary was anew troubled
within that period.
But as everything is tranquil in the Austrian
monarchy, and rs the term expires tins montn,
the Porte has manifested the intention OF re-
stori,ty Kossuth and his companions to liberty.
| For that purpose measures were taken to place
at the disposal of the refugees state vessel 10
transport them to England, or even America;
and a sum 500 piastres (l25f) was to be dlstrl-
/ buted III each man Mt the moment Of his lnnding
to provide for his wants. These arrangements,
however, frightened the Austrian government,
and within these last few days M. de KEEL, its
Charge dAtlaires at Constantinople, delivered
note, in which it pretends that the term OF a
wear is to commence running from the time
:. when they were removed into the Interior, ana
protests against the liberation Of the refugees.
The Porte replied with energy, and at present
K negotiations arc going on with equal warmth on
both sides
ain an extraordinary council just held here,
it was decided that the pretensions OF Austria
} were ill-founded, and could not be admitted; so
. the matter rests The Charge d'Affars awaits
fresh instructions from his court; and, on its
side the Divan appears resolved not to yield.
1t has applied to the representatives OF France
land England for advice. The Porte is the more
irritated against Austria that for some time past
the journals Of Vienna contained articles hccu-
sing the Turkish government Of i'll fath and OF
exciting a new revolution in Hungary. When
the Porte complained Of this, it was stated in
reply that, since the press was free in Austria,
the government could do nothing with the
Journals but the Porte knows perfectly well
what it ought to think Of the matter, as we'll us
about certain intrigues in the Danuban Princl-
palities. RUSSIA has shown affection in not np-
pearing in any way in the matter; it is thought,
however, that she is not so unconnected with 1t
as she pretends."
