SERIOUS FIRE IN BosToN COURT HOUSE,
About O'Clock Wednesday morning, fire was
discovered issuing in sheets of flame from Two
windows in the third story of the Court House
in this city, on the west side of the building,
and it was soon found that nearly all the cen
trail rooms in that division of the structure
were on fire, and that the conhagration
was under such Roadway as to threaten the
entire destruction ofthe ediice.
The Geographic fire alarm was vigorously
sounded in every direction, which speedily
brought the fire department and the police to
the scene, and after the most energetic and
skilful exertions, continued for two hours and
half, the fire was confined principally to the
part of the building in which it was first dis
covered, though it completely destroyed sew
eral jury rooms, the attic, and considerable
portion of the roof.
As near as can be ascertained the fire orig.
mated in traverse jury room No. 3, from the
stump of cigar carelessly thrown into a spit
toon filed with sawdust. 1t is estimated that
the building cannot be made as good as before
for less than about $40, 600. Like most other
public buildings, il is not insured.

CAss!Us N. Cray - Tho anti. slavery frie14ae
of Uassius M. Clay of Kentucky, were aston
ished to see advertised lately among his effects,
"22 hands to be sold during his life" The
fact is thus explained: these slaves were be-
queathed by relative to Mr.. Clay's children,
to be held in trust by him for them during
his life. with no right to emancipate them.-
Mr.. Clay freed his own slaves several years
ago. In their anxiety to abuse everybody
that dislikes slavery, the administration pa
pers have made the most Of these advertised
slaves of Mr.. Clay. They would not be likely
to give the explanation. 1t is said that Mr..
Clay's creditors have refused to accept the as
signment of his property made in their favor,
and have recommitted to his own care and
management, the assets of his involved estate.
The confidence Is deserved. Mr.. Clay says that
he can now pay his engagements, and have a

POEMS: by Charles Kingsley, author of Amyas
Leigh, Hypatia, &C. Boston. Ticknor &
Fields.
Mr.. Kingsley has been before the public, for
some years, successful novelist, and his ad.
mirers will receive this volume of his Poems with
the warmest welcome. The poem which fills by
far the greater portion of this volume, is The
Saints Tragedy" 1t is the story of Elizabeth of
Hungary, taken from the Chronicles of the Mid
die Ages, and rendered with strict adherence to
history, The grand aim of the poem is, to main
tain the sacredness and purity of the marriage
relation. In the introduction. he says: " The
character of Elizabeth is necessarily type of the
struggle between healthy human affection, and
the Manichean contempt with which celibate
clergy would have all men regard the names of
husband, wife, and parent. To exhibit this latter
falsehood in its miserable consequences, when
received into heart ofinsight and determination
sufficient to follow out all belief to its ultimate
practice, is the main object of my Poem
In the Poem will be found the attractions that
have already riyeted the attention Of Ills readers
the strong love of truth and hatred Of wrong,
unwavering faith in God, and heartfelt trust in
the better instincts of man. Mr.. Kingsley com
bnes with these the grace and cultivation Of aripe
scholar, the strength Of large intellect the lux
uriance of rare genius, and the earnestness of a
bold thinker. We recognize, ALSO the warmer
culture Of the heart, and the lighter portion of
his being. Though the purely descriptive is Of
unfrequent occurrence, the occasional glimpses OF
nature betray an eye accustomed to penetrate, at
glance, the beauties and mysteries which per-
wade it. The latter portions of the book contains
miscellaneous poems and ballads, all worth peru
sal. The volume is for sale by Baker, Trumbull
and Barnes.
