STARVING FUGITIVE SLAyEs.--A colored man
in Canada, named Zice, publishes an appeal to
American abolitionists for assistance for the
numerous fugitive slaves in that portion of Her
Majesty's dominions. They are said to be in a
starving and deplorable condition.
Henry Bib, fugitive slave of some noto-
riety, died at Windsor, Canada, on the LIST.
Such has been the story for years. There is
no phase of abolition assurance and hypocrisy
more amazing than that of claiming credit for
humane and philanthropic motives in seducing
the negro from a comfortable home in the South
and leaving him to starve among people who
despise him when he can no longer serve their
base passions and prejudces

FIRES IN NEW YoRK.-There were no less
than three very destructive fires in New York
on the afternoon Of the 9th. The first fire broke
out about O'clock, in o small shanty in the
rear of Seventeenth and Eighteenth streets. be-
tween Sixth and Seventh avenues The build
ings situated on both streets are old wooden
frame houses, and, as might be expected, they
went like powder, running from rear to sides in
few minutes. 1t was some time before q
stream of water could be brought to play upon
the flames, and even after this was attained,
the exertions of the fremen seemed to be fruit
less From Nos. s. to 105 on Seventeenth
street we're utterly destroyed. The frame
dwellings and shanties in the rear to Eighteenth
street were also completely reduced to ashes.
1t is estimated that not less than hundred
families were rendered homeless by this fire.
Shortly afterwards fire broke out in the
Central Presby terrain Church in Broome street,
and in a short time it was reduced TO ashes,
The building cost $4,000. 4..=...@..

ARREST OF Commemorative learn from
the Boston papers that on the night of August
/ the High Constable of sherbrooke arrested
two gangs of counterfeiters in Canada, who car
ried on business about five miles distant from
each other in the woods All their implements
were taken, consisting of one printing press,
twenty six plates for paper money, one machine
for stamping gold and silver, which weighed
eight hundred pounds, twenty four moulds for
running hard money, dies, ink, paper, engra-
vers' tools, and thousands of dollars in counter
felt money. This is probably the most import
ant arrest of the kind ever made on this CONT
nent. 1t is known that since the middle Of June
last sixteen thousand dollars have been issued
by the parties on the Nashua Bank of New
Hampshire alone, and circulated chiefly in the
State of New York. They are Of the denomina-
tons of ones, threes and twenties, and are exc
cuted with singular skill. Large amounts OF
gold and silver coin have also been issued. The
band was completely organized, and had their
engravers who could make all their plates, and
| their printers, and their signers of the bills
all of whom are now safely lodged in the Mont
| real jail. ~

FAILURE OF THE ADMINIsTRATIoN.-The Al

New York, in o recent articleupon the National

language:
"Certain it is, that this result of less than
eighteen months administration of the Govern
ment in the name Of Franklin PIERCE is appa-
rent, that the mass of those Democrats by whose
exertions he attained office, positively refuse to
be longer responsible, in party light, for his
acts In every State in which Democratic Con-
ventions have consented to adopt the ordinary
formula of resolution of confidence, the party
has been promptly and disgracefully defeated,
Every public man Of note who has been induced
to connect his fortunes with those of the Cabi-
net, has experienced the fatal influence of the
association. Every public measure of pro-
priety and utility, no matter how scantily ap-
proved at the White House, if it now bears the
suspicion of tolerance from that quarter, be-
/ comes the imme late object of distrust Credit
for its few tolorable acts is grudgingly be-
slowed upon tie Administration, while stern

pistol, compelled the children to drink the con-

they became sick and stupefed, when the vii
lains commenced searching the house, after
which they departed without obtaining any
thing of great value About l o'clock the girl
recovered sufficiently to enable her to reach the
porch and attract the attentionof the neighbors,
who, on reaching the houses found the two
children in dangerous condition, Their lives
were despaired of for several hours, but they
finally recovered. 1t is supposed the bottles
contained chloroforFh.
