FoREIGN AFFAIRs.-rhe Europa's news is
Interesting in reshadowings.-rather than

both Lords aud Commons, for information,as as to
relations with the United States. Lord Pal
merston seems to satisfy Parlimenl that the Per-
sian Treaty, just negotiated. is most adyanta-
geous one for England. The electioneering
excitement is warmng up,-but,the anticips7
ton is that the Ministry will secure a majority
OF the new Parliament,-but not large one.
Spain continued her preparations for The in'
vasion of Mexico, and was endeayoring to se'

CoNFLAGRATIoN.-A serious FIRE occurred
last night in the western part of our tOwn--de-
strOying totally, in very short time, the dwell
ings of Messrs David R. Mitchell and John
Wilkinson. The fire originated about one
o'clock. in Wilkinssn's house, which had just
been erected and needed only two or three
days work of being finished for occupancy
Mr.. Mitchell's house was new, and had been
occupied by him only about a month. The
fire spread very rapidly, and but a portion OF
the furniture in the latter building could be
saved. No insurance on either house-lOss
from $2.50O to $4,000. The dwellings OF
Messrs Jonathan Catlin and Ebenezer Lurty,
on either side of the above, and also those in
the occupancy of Messrs. James Elliott and
James Eaton, nearly opposite, were only saved
from destruction by much exertion. The cause
of the fire is not known-the house in which it
originated being unOccupied,

You had better pa, the Shoemaker for keeping your

Smyrna and its Improvements,

Mr.. Editor After reading the currespon.
dence off, Spy " in ambuscade, and Of " Young
America perched on the pinnacle Of buresque,
both discussing, at great length, the pros and
cons, and the sayings and doings in the thriving
and growing town OF Srnyrna, in the distance
might be seen your humble contributor, " Nee
Scylla nee CharyJdes," siatue-like, soliloqul-
zing to himself in this wise:
Smyrna, beautifully situa ted between two
Lakes-Superlor on the North and Inferior on
the South, on the East a communication with
Philadelphia by the splendid steamer, Balloon,
with her gentlemanly commander. WIN. 5. Ball,
and on the West by the Delaware Railroad,
and soon 10 be united to IL Southern sister State
in iron bands by the Maryland aud Delaware
Railroad. With such facilities and advantages,
what can prevent Smyrna from becoming
city? The establishment Of water-works on
the North, neur lake Superior, and Of gas
works near the outlet of Inferior, lighting your
streets and dweliingswith gas, we think, would
suffice, without transatlantic tour to obtain
model of Hyde Park or sny other. The SUBJ
ject Of gas-works has lately been much agitated
and there is an ardent desire on the part of the
citizens TO use the gas, but the stock is slowly
and reluctantly subscribed for. When such an
improvement, Of public character is started,
where, where, we ask, are the descendants of
John Cunmins, Of Isaac Davis and of Presley
Spruance-whose energy and uniting indus
try have left marks behind more durable than
brass or marble !-ReguiescGt IN Pace. Are
the representatives of those noble sires not
actively engaged in this laudabe object! or are
they slumberng by the Pickering and decep-
tive light of an ig nus .(atuus, that would fain
lead them through devious paths, to other States,
to invest their funds, in the hope of obtaining
a greater per centage! Jupiter forbid and
call all the gods to witness the fallscy Of such
a course, for it is wrong, morally, and its osly
tendency is TO retard the march of ofimprovement
in your town and State. So long as this is the
case, the growth of Smyrna will depend upon
the intelligent and industrious mechanics, whose
operations are regulated by the shrill sound of
the whistle, such as Cayender, Clegg, a
Williamson and many others, whose deeds have
shed lustre on their names. In my perambu-
latons through the Northern part of the town,
was pleased to observe some manifestations
ofimprovement; on Ball street continued, is the
attractive three.story, press-brick front Bivalve
Saloon, the proprietor of which tnkes great
pleasure in catering to the wants Of the citizens.
