with chimneys like burned pine forest, with
its scathed and charred trees, and the Champ

cupied with heaps of goods.
ANOTHER FIRE.
While on the route, we witnessed the COM
mencement of another conhagration. The
wooden building in the rear of Hayes House
having been ignlted by sparks from the other
fire, the flames worked their way to that build
ing, which was consumed, and all the houses
on Dalhousie square, including the Hon. MIR.
Moffaf's residence, and the mess houses OF the
Royal Artillery and of the Twentieth regiment
and the Military Secretary's Office.
The fire is still raging at the hour We write.
God only knows where it will stop. Montreal
seems to be doomed.
p. S.-The fire has crossed Amherst street,
on its wav through the Quebec suburbs, and
it does not seem as if any power could save
any portion of that populous ward.

A Jockey club, called the "Star State Jock
ey Club" was formed in Corpus Christi on
the Doth ult. Geo. p. Fl. Bell was elected
President, with twenty one Vice Presidents,
and Capt. Forbes Brtton was elected Secre-
tary and Treasurer. A subscription was
opened, and large sum subscribed in short
time. The first race is to come off during the
fair at Corpus Christi, in 1853.
A terrible aflray occurred in Washington
on the Doth inst, in the course of which man
named Farrell was killed and another named
Shepard seriously wounded by G. p. Lynch.
Lynch made his escape, and a reward OF S5oO

Peter Gray.

I'll tell you of nice young man,
Whose name was Peter Gray;
The State where Peter Gray was born
Was Pennsylva.ni a.
This Peter he did fall in love
All with nice young girl,
The ma NE of her I'm positive
Was Lizzyanny Quirl.
When they were going to be wed,
Her father he said Mop
And brutslly he sent her OH
Beyond the Ohio.
When Peter heard his love was lost
He knew not what to say,
He'd half a mind to jump into
The Susquehan-nia.
But he went trading to the west,
In iurs and other skins,
And there was caught, killed and drest
By the blooTy y ln-gi-ins.
When Lizzyanny he ard the news
She straightway went to bed,
And never did get up again
Until she di.i-ed.
Ye fathers all a warning take,
Each one as has girl,
And think upon poor Peter Gray
And Llzzyanny Quiri.

AN AFFRAY in A COURT ROOM.

On Monday last Franklin Court House was
the scene of an affray of serious character
which resulted nearly in the death OF a gentle
man OF the highest responsibility.
About IL o'clock, while sitting, quietly at.
tending TO the proceedings of the Courl, we
heard a considerable noise Immediately behind
the bar, and, on turning to ascertain the cause,
beheld two men engaged in administering Sc
we're castigation to third individual, whose
vociferous cries of murder indicated that the
dose was any thing else than agreeable. The
| assailants were Messrs. Joseph and Randolph
Dickinson. merchants IN Franklin county, and
the subject, John Soyars. We regret to add
Rocky Mount interfered TO separate the par
ties, and while doing so, was stabbed in the
right side by Soyars, who, ii is supposed, took
him to be an assaiant. The wound, though
severe, is thought not to be dangerous.
The circumstances are these. At previous
| term of the court John Soyars appeared as a
witness for the Commonwealth against Pinck
ard, presentment, but not being above suspi-
cion, several persons were called in and exam
ined, and among others, Randolph Dickinson,
who testified to Soyars' general bad character.
In consequence of which Soyars had hand

ed as peri ured man. This bill was posted TO
the wall of the Court House, in conspicuous
place, and read by many persons, among them
Randolph Dickinson and his brother-where-
upon they procured, the one hickory stick,
Of goodly size, the other a cowhide, and went
in search of Soyars. He, in the meantime, had
| retreated into the Court House, hoping it is
presumed, to be protected by the presence Of
the Court. But we are sorry to state that the
dignity of the Court was nsulted by an assault
in the very temple ofjustice. We never wit
