The Terre Haute Journal gives an account
of a disastrous fire in that Aourishing city,
which occurred early on Wednesday morning
last. The fire originated on the corner Of
Main and Fourth, in the viciaity Of the Post
Office. There were eleven buildings con-
sumed on Main street, all Of which were
stuffed with goods and mostly destroyed with
but light insurance. On Fourth street,
twelve buildings were burned, inclu ling a
Marble Factory, Fairbanks K he Factory
and the Eclipse Livery Stable. With slight
exceptions all is a ictul loss to the owners
and occupants. The entire destruction oil
property by this calamity will not be less
than $4,000.
The FIRE was supposed to be the work Of an
incendiary as no fire was used about the
premises where it was first discovered.

On Saturday last, he arrested man named
James Bowers at the Jersey City Ferry
On being arrested, Bowers threw into the
river a bundle which he then had in his pos
session. The Marshal Immediately offered a
reward Of $40 for the recovery of the bundle,
aud, an enterprising boatman having hshed
II up, it was found to contain two hundred
and fifty spurious silver half dollar pieces.
The Marshal then repaired TO Bowers
house, and seized a vast quantity of counter
felt gold dollars and implements and materi-
ais used in the manufacture OF coin, and ar
rested lie occupants OF the house.
| lie next proceeded to the residence Of Mr..
May, glider, who had orders from the coun-
terfeiters to gid coin to the amount Of forty
thousand dollars. Here the officers seized a
large quantity of dollar pieces in various
modes of process, and all were taken to the
Marshal's Office in grocer's wagon.

The Secret Uorrespondence.

Recent European advices contain an an
nouncement that the Russian Government
will publish in its turn, large batch Of Sc
cret English letters on the Oriental question,
and among them several from Prince Albert.
The suspicion that has been imputed to IL
bert by the Radical Journals Of Eng land, but
denied by the Ministry, will. by the publica-
ton of the other side of the correspondence
be fully brought out, and the imputation un-
der which he is now resting, be entirely dis
peeled, or the stigma fastened upon him. In
the event of the latter result, he might easily
lose the only reputation ne ever possessed
Chat of being pretty clever fellow and e nd
England too hot place to live in. II Mich.
olas has letters in his possession, that will
implicate Prince Albert and Her Majesty
Government in meddling with that which ia
none of their business. it seems very like y
that he will bring them out. 1t is quite pro.
babe that a correspondence should have been
conducted to such an extent and Russia alone
commit hersefto the policy discussed.

by the Foreman Of Mr.. Chubb. This was
no, done until Hobbs had explained the pos

and then boasted to the world shat they had
picked the famous Hobbs lock. The chaL
lenge given by Mr.. Hobbs, was in relation to
the American lock, known as the Bank Lock,
