Destructive fire. -One hundred Build
iDgs In Ruins. 1.-Two Hundred fani-
lies hOuKeIess.
PTTTsBuRG, March 27.--A very destructive
fire occurred yesterday afternoon in Birm:ng-
ham, opposite this city. 1t originated in the
packing house of Ihmsen's Glass Works. In
consequence Of the scarcity Of water. and the
strong wind which was blowing at the time,
the fire ragged until six o'clock, and was only
arrested by the epulng down of several houses.
Between Grosvenor and Mckee streets.
about forty buildings are destroyed. The
burning shingles were carried by the wind to
Bradford street, between Which and Dewman
street. some sixty buildings were destroyed,
including dwellings and stores. In ALL about
one hundred buildings are destroyed and some
two hundred families turned into the street.
II is impossible to estimate the loss, but is
supposed by some to reach $4,000. Others.
however, estimate It at only $4,000. About
One.third is covered by insurance. Ihmsen's
loss is $4,000. probably insured Among
the buildings destroyed is Gregg's lead factory
and saw mill. rt t.r.

stroy the breed Of doughfaees. Break every
man of them upon the wheel, and SOW salt up

other remedy. II we are sold this time, Kan
sas becomes a slave territory at once Nebras.
ka will probably follow suit, though exhaordi-
nary exertion may save it, But it is too much
to expect. Organize the North for reclamation
and defence. Re-establish the Missouri Com

The Creat Anpular Eclipse.

TO he Editors Of Ae Batinsore american:
GENTLEMEN: The senior class Of the College
of st. James, after having studied the theory OF
eclipses, have successfully applied 1T to the
computation Of the times of beginning, greatest
observation, and ending of the approaching
solar eclipse on the afternoon oil the 10Th OF
the present month, both for the geographical
position of the college, and for that Of Balti,
more. The method Of computation employed
in determining the circumstances OF the eclipse
for the college, is the analytical one originally
proposed by Lagrange, and subsequently modi-
fed by Bessel, Lubbock, and others; par
ticular case of which is the method used by
Mr.. Downes in the American Nautical Alma
nae for computing occultations. The data for
the computation were taken from the British
Nautical Almanac; and though, the result is
strictly correct only for the college. yet, on
account Of very small errors in the data, and
the slight change which few miles variation
in the geographical position would produce,
the times, &c, for the college may be con-
sidered the same, at least to the nearest minute,
for Hagerstown, Williamsport Boonsboro',
