FIRES In ST.. LOUIS, - On the 9th inst, two
destructive fires occurred in St. Louis by which
a great number of stores and dwellings were
burned to the ground. We do not find the
amount of loss stated in the st. Louis papers
On the night Of the 9th q still more destruc-
tive confagration broke out on Front street,
north of Carr, in the joiner's shop Of Mr. John
Stephenson, which, before it was subdued, con-
sumed property to the amount of $3.50 900 value
Mr.. John Stephenson, the proprietor Of boat
building establishment, en- the Levee, happened
to be in his shop at the time, and he saw the
flames break out in his own establishment and
the store house Of Mr. Fitzgerald simultaneously.
Just at that moment he saw four or five men
rush out one Of them asked him what he was
doing there, and at the same time knocked him
down with q club. Stephenson recovered from
the blow, drew a pistol and fired. One of the
men fell, but was caught up by the others and
carried off. The buildings were soon enveloped
in flames, and the carpenter shop Of Mr.. Ste
phenson, together with three stores, owned by
Mrs Boyce, occupied as store houses by Mr..
Fitzgerald, were, with the contents, entirely

Mrs. Ann Watson, the vocalist. whose sudden
death at Philadelphia on Monday, has already
been recorded, was one of the best English bal
lad singers that ever visited America. She was
about going up the river, and in company with
her daughter, walked to the wharf rather hur-
riedly, not being able to procure a carriage
conveniently, She had scarcely got on board
the Robert +. Stockton, when she fell and ex-
pired instantly. Her disease was probably
apoplexy, or an affection of the heart. Mrs.
Watson was of English birth, and was the
widow Of John Watson, musician Of high stand
ing. No vocalist ever attracted or delighted
greater crowds than she did, some years ago,
at the Chinese Museum in this, and at the Castle
Garden in New York. Since the death of her
| husband Mrs. Watson has resided here, exert
ing herself honorably in her profession, as
teacher of music, for the support and education
Of her children. EPhila. Bulletin.

STEAMBOAT SuNK-LIvEs LOST. We learn
from Mr. Thomas Bein, route agent of the
James Trabue, in from Louisville on Saturday
evening, that the little stern wheeler, Cape
May, was sunk in the Ohio in sight of Mount
Vernon.
The event took place on the evening of the
I'd inst, the entire cargo Of the New Orleans
steamer S. F. ]. Trabue being on board at the
time But this is not the full extent of the loss.
Six or eight deck passengers are missing, and
there is no doubt Of their having persisted by
drowning. Four of these were woman and
three children. The cabin passengers, who
were numerous, made their escape in a keel
boat sent to their assistance from Mount Ver-
non, but they had no time to secure their bag
gage.
The boat was bound from Paduoah to Louis
vile at the time of the accident, deeply laden
with the valuable freight Of the Trabue, and as
she went down in deep water, both boat and
| cargo are considered total loss We did not
learn the cause of the accident. [st. Louis Re-

WEATHER, CROPS, ETC.

DRoUTH.-There is severe drouth in por
tions of Vermont and New Hampshire, no rain
Of consequences having fallen since June. The
crops have suffered much damage.
The Charlestown Spirit of Jefferson says corn,
pastures, gardens, etc., are almost entirely
destroyed by the drouth which has prevailed in
that section. The corn crop Of the county will
scarcely average barrel to the acre.
The g memory Of man. we are inclined to
think, runneth not back to the time when there
was more severe drouth than is now parching
our gardens and corn fields There have been
signs innumerable of rain, but so far they have
all failed. Still, however, We are in hopes that
there may be rain soon enough to save the corn
crop from the utter failure which now threatens
it. Paramount True Virginian.
HAIL SToRM.-A violent hail storm occurred
in Prince Edward County on Monday, the 18th
inst The corn and tobacco were greatly dam
aged. In the neighboorhood Of Moore's Ordi-
nary the ground was covered at one time with
the solid hail. One Of the stones measured 81
inches in circumference.
The CROPS OF FLoRIDA.-From q letter dated
at Tampa, in the Tampa Herald, we make the
following extract:
IS am aware that have not been alone, but
it has been the general impression that corn
could not be grown at all in this country, much
to the detriment of such believers, and country,
but great mistake has been propagated.
'It is conceded point that good corn is
raised in Georgia and Alabama; have noticed
their crops, and to my surprise, q few days
since, saw better corn, and which had been
raised with considerably less than half the cul-
tivation. / conscientiously believe that the
corn crops might average between twenty five
and thirty bushels to the acre. This average,
taken in connection with new country, and in
which raising stock with most persons is the
main employment, consider to be superior to
any other average in the Southern country
During the few days remained in ths east
ern part of Hillsborough, must confess that |

Loss or THE AncrIc.--We gather from
the vicksburg Whig the following particu-
lars Of the Toss Of the Arctic. This nagnif-
cent vessel belonged to the Collins Line Of
packets between New York and Liverpool.
The collision Of the Arctic and the pro
peller Sun occurred At noon, on the 9Th Of
september, in dense fog, going at the rate
Of thirteen knots per hour. Two hundred
persons were on the propeller Immediately
the life boats were launched, and filed with
the crew and a few passengers. A raft was
constructed, and in sudden panic on the
Arctic numbers got on the raft, and in the
sixth boat In three minutes after the Arc
tic sunk with all on board The raft short
ly after capsized, and bat one only Of the
seventy-one on it, was saved The bark Hu.
ron of st. Andrews N. B., picked up one Of
the boats The Huron fired rockets all night
in hopes Of falling in with the remainder Of
the boats. but her endeavors were fruitIess.
On the 29th, she spoke the ship Lebanon,
bound for New York, and transferred eigh
teen passengers to her, who reached New
York in pilot boat to-day.
Among the passengers taken to Quebec on
the Huron, was James Thompson, Of New
Orleans.
Amongst the last persons seen on the deck
of the Arctic, was Mr.. Brown the senior
partner Of the Liverpool house of Brown,
ShipTey q Co., and J. Cook, Of Opelousas,
Louisiana.
A despatch from Halifax to Collins states
that two boats of the Arctic were saved, and
that the passengers had reached Halifax; it
also states that several vessels had been de
spatched to the scene of the disaster in hopes
of picking up passengers who mightbe afoat
on pieces OF the wreck
The following statement of the manner in
which the accident happened, is given by Mr..
BALKAN, the second officer Of the Arctic, Che |
and other officers and crew, saved in two
boats. reached ST. Johns on Tuesday and
Wednesday,: On the 9th September, at
noon, whilst off Cape Race bearing north
west, 65 miles distant, running in thick fog. |
the Arctic was struck on her starboard bow, |
about six feet abaft the cutwater, by the iron
steamer Sun, which made three large holes in
the ship below water one about five and
half feet long by one foot and a half wide
leaving the whole cutwater of the steamer
through the Arctic's side.

We learn from, the Nacthez Courier that
the New Princess'N a regular New Orleans
and Natchez packet, and altogether one of
the finest and best boats afioat, was totally
destroyed by fire on last Sunday week, a short
distance below Fort Adams. The entire boat
with her valuable cargo of 5000 bales ofcot-
ton, all her books, mails and money were
consumed. And what is infinitely of more
importance, ten lives are said to have been
lost.
The Princess was only insured for smalA
portion of her value, SO that the loss of her
owners will consequently be very great.
