Serious apprehensions are fel, for the safe
ty Of the steamer San Francisco, which sail
ed from New York for San Francisco on
the 2lst ult., having on board some 500
persons, including abou. 500 U. S. troops,
with their officers and families. The steam
er was seen on the och, about 800 miles
east of Cape Henlopen, with her decks
swept, boats gone, and completely disabled.
On the receipt Of the news, the Secretary of
War promptly ordered a steamer chartered
10 90 in search of her, and the Secretary OF
the Treasury ordered by telegraph three
cutters to be despatched az once to her re-
lief. The strength of the steamer, and the
fact that the number Of men on board would
tighten her, give much force to the opinion
of the underwriters, and some experienced
navigators of New York, who consider hel
uuques.ionably safe.

FIRE IN MARLBoRo'-The Gazette Of
4.h inst says: On Saturday last, about Z
o'clock, P NJ, the Marlboro Hotel, occu-
pied by Leonard H. Chew, Esq, was dis
covered to be on fire. All efforts to save
the building proved Intellectual, and it was
|speedily burned to the ground. The fire
originated in an unoccupied room in the
garnet; and there is scarcely doubt that it
was the work of an incendiary.
The Hotel belonged to Capt. JOHN
BRooKEs, and was insured by company in
Alexandra 10 the amount Of $4,000. which
will nearly cover the loss OF the owner
N one of the out buildings were burned, al
though some of them stood within a few
feet of the Hotel. Their escape is due to
the fact that there was a heavy fall of enow
at the time, unaccompanied by wind. Near
ly all The furniture was taken from the house
but it was in such damaged state as to be
almost valueless and many articles were
| stolen after their removal.
The Hotel was within few feet of the
store of GEORGE w. WILSON and the Ga
zelte printing office, from both Of which
nearly every thing was removed but, in
| consequence Of the confusion, a large a.
noun. Of goods was damaged. The stock
of goods is insured, in the language of the
policy, agains, ''loss or damaged by reason
| BY means of fre.''
The destruction Of the Hotel is calamity
which will be seriously felt by business
men Of all parts Of the county. Any house
in the village could have been better spared
than this. We hope there is enough enter
prise left TO rebuild the house, and that
steps will be at once taken to that end.
