FIRE-On Saturday night, a fire was dis
covered in the rear of frame building on
Main street, unoccupied, and belonging to
RICHARD RALEIGH. Before the engines were
enabled to procure water the flames had ex-
tended to a brick building above, and both
were entirely consumed. The night was in
tensely cold, and the canal being dry, it was
with great difficulty that any water could be
procured The fire was the work of an in
. cendarY.

THE RIVER is still rising, and the prospect
for long continued high water was never
brighter. The dispatches published in Sat
urday mornings JOURNAL, were sufficient to
lead US to this conclusion. The Kentucky
river is higher than it has been for years, and
vast quantities of lumber, coal and produce
detained up that stream by low water are
coming out. The Mississippi rose three and
a half inches at ST. Louis on Thursday night
The Illinois is falling, and the Missouri is at a
stand and full Of running ice. Navigation in
that quarter, nearly suspended. The quanti-
ties of produce delivered at st. Louis during
the past week, are almost fabulous. The bust
ness of ST. Louis, already great, seems to be
increasing daily, and the number of steam
boat arrivals daily is very large.
~ Thanks to Mr. THAD CoNANT, of the
steamer Tennessee Belle, for late st. Louis
papers.
o. he Alvin Adams passed up Saturday
from Paducah where she has been rusticating
during the low water season.

MORE FORGERIEs AND FRAUDs-A man by
the name Of Powers, near Rochester y. Y.
very extensively engaged in farming and in
the milk business, is discovered to have been
engaged for a number of years in uttering
forged paper to a large amount. When detec-
ed he had upwards Of $4,000 Of it afoat.-
at the time of his arrest he owned about
eleven hundred acres of land in Pennington
and Canandaigua, consisting Of adjoining farms
and tracts, which were incumbered by mort
cages and judgments 70 the amout if not
quite 100000. But these membranes do
not constitute his entire Indebtedness which
probably amounts to from $4,000 to $780,
600. His property is not valued at half the
amount of his debts The holders of the
spurious paper have offered to give it up on
payment Of a very small per cent. But the
prisoner declines all compromises and has de-
termined to abide the result of the law, as
those who held the paper have shaved it at
heavy rates. and been guilty of usury, which
makes the transactions on their part fraudu-
lent and by the statutes of New York,
and under this plea, the rogue may escape and
still hold his property

OF The canal is af1ording fine field of
sport for the boys. The cold of Friday and
Saturday closed the small stream Of water
left in its bed, and formed an excellent race
course for the skaters to display the grace and
speed Of their movements; which is more
agreeable purpose than any to which it has
been appropriated for some months past

RUSSIAN OBsTINAcY.-The Gar
Alexander, in free conversation, last
July, with an American Senator, Gen.
James, of Rhode Island, (says the
Washington correspondent of the
Charleston Courier) said that the AL
lies might take Sebastopol, but they
would find it pile of ruins; and that
every other place in the Empire would
be as well defended as that had been;
and that even if he evacuated the Cri-
mea, the war would then be but Just
begun. He further said that he was
wagmg war at disadvantage in the
Crimca, where the Allies had the ben
eft of their navy, and ready means of
concentration of their troops, supplies,
&C.; and that seeing the duration of
the war, he had taken no measures for
the defence of the Crimea, which were
incompatible with the defence of the
heart of the Russian Empire, from
which he had drawn no resources. He
was prepared for resistance to the ut
most, against any invasion by land Of
his frontiers.
