FIRE THE alarm yesterday evening was
caused by fire in the attic of one of Mr. Bris-
GOES brick buildings, on Ninth street opposite
the Centre Market. The flames were extin-
guished before much damage was done.
Mr.. Briscoe supposes that it was the work of
an incendiary, as there had been no fire in that
part of the building, nor any fue or chimney
near the place where it originated. Had it
broken out q few hours later, as was probably
the design of the villain, the whole row might
have been consumed.
STILL ANOTHER About half-past II o'clock
this morning, fire broke out in o stable owned
by Mr. James Foy, in the rear of the United
States Hotel. Owing to the quantity of hay
and other light materials within, the stable, and
a shed adjoining, were burned to the ground
before the engines could be got to work The
stable was occupied by colored man named
Beckett, a hack-driver, on whom, with the sis
tiers of Mr.. Foy, the loss will fall pretty heavily
1t was undoubtedly set on fire. Surely the sue
cess of the last few days makes the rascals who
do these things quite bold.

A MINIATURE of Mrs. McCoMBE, painted by
Miss GORDON, of New York city, now at Mrs.
Wallingsford's on Four-and-a-half street, is the
subject of much admiration on the part of pro-
fessors and amateurs of this beautiful art. We
recognise in it likeness, so perfect that we
think it could not be excelled. There is natu-
raj casa graceful repose-in this little paint
ing indicative of the highest merit, while the
coloring and whole effect are of the most agree
able character. 1t is at present on exhibition
at WHITEHURsTs DAGUERREAN GALLERY, in
Lane and fuckers building.

CHARLES F. OTTNGER, clerk in the post
officer at Philadelphia, charged with abstract
ing the Vicksburg letter mail, was on Monday
and Tuesday examined before Commissioner
Edward D. Ingraham. This mail, unopened,
had been found in his coat pocket, as it hung
in the ofice.) The evidence for the govern
ment being closed, j. w. Ashmead, district
attorney, asked that the defendant be bound
over to take his trial before the United States
district judge, under the provisions of the act
of I'd March, 1926, relating to the post office.
Mr.. Gibbons thought there was not sufficient
evidence to warrant q binding over to court,
but the Commissioner said he thought primq
faeie case had been made out, and he would
therefore bind the defendant over to take his
trial at the next term Of the United States dis
trict court in the sum of $4,000. Bail was i'm
mediately entered.

SIR Fl. L. BULwER AND THE IRIsH.-The New
York Tribune of yesterday says:
eve understand that the remarks made by
the British Ambassador at the st. Georges fes-
tival have given the greatest offence to our
Irish fellow-citizens. They are anxious to take
some decisive steps to vindicate themselves from
his attacks, and with that view preliminary
meeting will be held this evening at the Shak-
speare Hotel, at "a o'clock"

Baptist church in New York, has withdrawn
from the management Of the Society called the
"Bible Union" Mr.. r. is said to have been
the earliest to recommend the formation of the
new Society, but he was not prepared to keep
pace with the ultra views Of his associates, and
under these circumstances he adopted the only
honorable course left for him, and promptly
withdrew.

A number of Hungarian refugees arrived in
this city few days ago, in most destitute
condition. There is no provision for their re-
lief, and several gentlemen have contributed
for their support. AS others are on the road
to the west, to find homes and employment,
ought not some provision be made to speed
them on their way - ennsylUanian
1t certainly ought, and could easily be done.
To give relief and to prevent imposition by coun-
terfeit Hungarians, are objects worthy our ear
nest attention. We would recommend the or
ganization of a committee in each city, to
accomplish these purposes, and to correspond
with each other on the subject.

cious manner, and is sufficiently ashamed to
depart in tears. There will be smiles when she
is gone, and merry May" will prove more con-

ADVERTISING. door to wealth, respecta-
bility, influence, and honor, is thrown wide
open to all. He who negeots advertising his
business in the newspapers not only robs him
self of his fair advantages, but bestows the spois
on his rivals. 1t is idle to speak of the cost of
advertising as an impediment--as well might
one object to the cost of sheltering his goods,
protecting them from thieves, or dealing them
out to customers.
