CoEgEcroy.-A gentleman connected with
TIE Far al American Hall, informs US that
We we're in error yesterday, when we stated
that the alarm Of fire was caused by the
bursting Of a ~campLcne lamp ; no camphepe
tf,s used in the building. 1t seems that q
sudden dtausht G! air blew down the fame
Of the $prt lamp used to keep the oysters
warm, aud set the alcohol on fire. The lamp
VS., very naturally, thrown of the table, and
s'ue OF the burning alcohol ran out on the
Tor; but so far from the flames reaching the
ealing, the ladies at the tables near the wln-
d.v:, we're at a less to account for the sudden
excitement, the fire being altogether hidden
tnn them by the crowd. The supper table
ts; since been wisely removed to an sdjoin-
10; r,n, and the spirit lamps dispensed
sith, the dishes being heated on a stove. No
'ucb accidents can, therefore, happen in the
i.is.e.
AocDEyT.-Yesterdsy morning, about 6
'aocS, Mr. S.las Jett, a carpenter, living IN
nsuWer part Of the city, was run over BY
tie cars on Union street. neal Prince. 1t
s'Essf: that Mr.. Je,t bad got upon the loco
h9a'e to ride to the depot, and upon asking
F'o!ssIcn, was informed by the conductor
O TIE tram that it was contrary to the rules

Nlo'tr one Of his legs, just above the ankle,
''a'aoe i, in q shocking manner. Doctors
Lens, French, and Harris we're called, and
Stiae broken limb. Mr.. Jett was, at last
HNu";', doing as well az could be expected,

sy be necessary.
