Fire in Charleston.

We learn from the Charleston papers of Saturday
last that fire broke out on Friday morning in the
three story brick building situate at the South East
corner Of Wentworth and Meeting streets, belong
ing to the estate of Mr.. w. J. GAYEs which was oc-
cupied by that gentleman previous to his death, for
series of years, for depot for carriages and other
vehicles. The FIRE spread with such rapidity. fed
it by the material that composed the stock that
before assistance could be rendered the whole inte
rior vast sheet of fame which soon eommu-
nicated to the adjacent building to the East Went
worth street, occupied by MIR. Sloman, and owned
by the estate.
The corner building, and the Stock in trade, were
insured in the Office of the Charleston Insurance and
Trust Company Of that city-S60O0 on the former,
and $1,000 on the latter which by no means cover
the loss sustained by this conAagraton. There was
also $4,000 in the Office, on Mr. Sloman's resi-
dence which will more than repay the injury it
tanned. Mr.. S., we learn, was fully covered by
Insurance.
The family of the late Mr.. Gayer, has on this &C.
casion sustained very heavy pecuniary loss, and
coming at time when it has but recently met with
severe domestic Affections, has excited the sympa-
thies of that community in their behalf.

sc.boarti and Roanoke r. r. Bridge across Roanc,
ia Ashes!

This morning about O'clock the bridge across
Roanoke, known the g Weldon Toll Bridge" and
part of the Seaboard and Roanoke Railroad was dis
covered TO be on fire. and in little than an hour,
the whoe bridge, upwards of 600 yards long, was
burned 10 the waters edge.
This is truly great misfortune. The ComIany had
but recently repaired the bridge, at very heavy ex-
pense that their train Of could cross and were
in fair way 10 realize the highest hopes of thejr
friends. But alas nothing now remains OF that NIGH
ty structure, save the rack pillars tel of its having
ever existed.
This was one among the largest bridges in the Uni
led States, and the original cost of lis construction eX-
ceeded 100000. We have not been able TO learn
whether insurance had been effected we fear
however, thererwas none.
How the bridge caught on fire we have not been a.
bic to learn. 1t is supposed that the train which pass
ed over about O'Clock this morning, set fire 10 some
rotten tlmbers that were very dry and chaffy, which
lay under the bridge, and from which the bridge itself
took fre.-Ue{dOn Patriot.

Good Advice.

One of The most sensible speeches yet made by Kos
suth in New York, was delivered in reply TO adj
dress frora delegation of Austrans. We have not
for it entire, but avoid giving the pith of
it. He said that Vienna was, perhaps, the most i'm
postant point in Europe at which revolution could
be undertaken. But. in case of rising it neces,
sary TO avoid the fault of the instruction of l84S
when nobody seemed TO know exactly what they
ted. and when hundred different men attempted to
lead. He said that revolution could succeed, I'M
less those undertaking it had distinct end in view; in
word. it not enough to pull down, it neces
safy to be ready to rebuild at He also spoke of
the necessity of unity The idea of committee of one
hundred and fifty leading revolution, he described
fatal to all prospect OF success; what wanted
one leader. whom all should agree to follow. Certain
ly alive understands, better than Kossuth, what
Europe wants in this her hour of travail He appears
to be not less sagacious politician than eloquent
as speaker. If the liberals of the Old World, each
in his country, would drive right home to
his mark like the great Magyar. Europe might rise
tomorrow. for it would be of achieving freedom,
even without a dollar contributed here or elsewhere

or the United St2tes.

The American Prisoners In Spain.
We have been politely handed by B F DeBow. Esq.

from our Minister at the Court of Madrid, which we
publish for the information of such may have friends
or relatives among the unfortunate members of the

LEGATION OF UNITED STATES,
MADRID, Nov. II, 1851.
My Dear Sir: You may rest assured that DO pro-
per effort will be wanting on my part 10 obtain the re-
lease of your brother in-law, young E, O. Bell, who
was seduced into the ILL fated Lopez expedition.
The Government of the United States has also re-
quesed me to ntercede in his behalf. But even with
out such request it will be my greatest happiness to
be in any degree instrumental in restoring 10 his af
ficted mother and family, his country and friends
who, though in an evil moment led astray by older
and more aTu men, seems possessed of so many gene
and redeemng qualities. | will endeavor TO Sc
cure the liberation of all the prisoners-which think
would be best for Spain, and | know would be most
agreeable 10 the whole people OF the United States
They have already been punished enough for their
folly, and Spain has had vengeance enough too The
unfortunate affairs at New Orleans and elsewhere in
the United States, in which Spain believes there has
been great insult and outrage to her flag and injuries
to her subjects, resident in the United States have
much complicated added greatly to the Difficult
ties of the release OF these prisoners. If all cannot be
soon discharged, will then try for few of the most
merorous and unfortunate of them for whose release
my special ntercession has been asked; and repeat
to you that among them your brother, and the son of
most distressed mother, shall have a conspicuous
place in my efforts.
Yesterday received letter from the American Con-
sui at Cadlz informing that the vessel, Prmera de
Guatemala in which young Bell is mentioned in the
papers having sailed had arrived at that port after
sc days passage from Havana; and it was uncertain
when he wrote where she would be ordered for quar-.

terranean have taken all proper steps for commu-

It would be curious study to ssect the motives
and feelings of nne-tenhs of those who have made
themselves most conspicuous in the reception and lau
daton of Kossnth. We fear that they would be found
to have been prompted by petty vanity akin to that
which gave rise to the classical exclamation of how
we apples do swim - We shrink from murderer,
and regard thief with suspicion, but for species
OF sinners have we the thorough contempt for
The vain, fussy, self sufficient fungi who, for little
petty notoriety, fasten themselves upon every dis
tnguished man, and impose themselves as incubi upon
every generous movement. The conduct of these pa
rasites has never been more obtrusve more dis
gushing than in the case of Kossuth. Whatever may
be thought OF his mission, cannot but respect the
heartfelt carnestness of the and sympathise with
his devotion to the cause which absorbs his existence

But when the time for action different tale is
told and the magnificent sum of sghtthousand dollars

hear,lessness of such noisy demonstrations the Co.
thsmtes have made, and has thus early given unms-
taxable hints that he would rather not be bored by
easts and addresses To deputation which recently
waited on him. he said:
Il beg leave to express my humble requests 10 all
those generous, kind friends, who sympahze with the
cause of Hungary, no longer to tax my time, but to let
me have time to work because, since my first COM
ing to the United States. have had scarcely a
single moment in which 10 do anything. Until now,
nothing has been done. have not even answered my

that IN no time, perhaps, in the history of mankind is
recorded, OF such extreme immense importance as now,
to the future welfare of Europe. Every moment that
is lost may lnJure the cause of humanity, Such is

The great game has commenced to be played, and

Kossuth foretold in of his speeches. has already

pears inevitable, then woe to the vanquished, for
there will be little quarter given taken between
the oppressors and the oppressed either every liberty
will be completely trodden out, or monarchy will
