miscellaneous SUMMARY.


New YORK, Jan. 19th.-Between two and three
O'Clock this afternoon II fire originated in the large
Public School, at the Corner of Concord and Navy
streets, Brooklyn, in which were 500 children,
and a most agonizing scene took place, The
teachers in one Of the rooms. in consequence of
the increased heat, not knowing the cause, threw
up the windows, and il was not until the smoke
poured into the room that the alarming fact of
the building being on fire was suspected. A
stampede ensued among the alarmed children,
uttering the most Acquiring cries. Many were
thrown from the windows and saved from injury
by being caught in the arms of the frcmen and
others. Seven of the children were sutfocated or
killed by being trampled upon in the rush for the
various s~tairways.
EMANcIPATIoN.-1t has been announced that
Holland has already provided for the emancipa-
ton Of her colonies in the West Indies. While
the act is much behind that of England. it is said
to be much more just in providing IA fair equiva-
lent to the stakeholder for his slaves. For healthy
slaves, q rate of decentralization is fixed according
to their ages, differing in the different islands.
For sick slaves, a reduced price will be paid,
which is to be fixed after the slave has been ex.
amined by two phi ysicians, one appointed by Gov
eminent, and the other by the owner thereof. No
price is to be paid Cor runaway slaves who have
been absent more than two years. The emanci-
patc6 slaves will be placed under humane regula-
tons, providing for their religious and education
al Improvement, and Cbliging them to contribute
for the formation of II fund destined to pay back
to the State the expenses Of their emancipation.
Children OF emancipated parents, born after the
proclamation of this law, are free, and not subject
10 the restrictions which their emancipated parents
are under; and they are to remain under the con.
troll Of their parents to the age Of twelve years.
The date for the emancipation of the slaves is to
he fixed by the Home Government.

The LARGEST CuuRcu IN THE UNITED STATES.
The African Church in Richmond, Va, has long
been the largest church in this country, though it
is now second in point Of numbers, to the church
in Beaufort, S. c., Of which Rev. j. NJ. G. Break
er is pastor. This clergyman writes to the Ex-
aminer

are colored but eight; and this makes the present
ndmber of its membership 3,5ll-pro5ably the
largest church in the world. OF these los are
whites, all the rest colored.'
RENEWING TIE SLAVE T~RADE.-By a private
letter received in this city from Loango, Coast Of
Africa, dated September %, 1857 we are advised
that the French have practically engaged in the
slave trade, under the naRe of apprentices, and
that a ship, the Clara, of Bordeaux, was at Loan.
20 at the date mentioned above, loading with
negroes for Martinique. A French war steamer
lay alongside to protect her from the English
cruisers, who would have seized her but that she
had IA French naval officer Oh board with orders tC
the French Commodore to protect her. The EEg
lish are also using negroes as slaves at Sierri
Leone. The French and English government are
participating in the trade which they affect t
deem so hideous. A barroccOOn has been bull
by the French at LoangO to be used for the safe
keeping of the slaves until they are ready fo
shipment. There is no secret in this business
and no disguise is attempted. - Washington Union

, WHAT DOUGLAS SAYs.-A Kansas correspond
; ent of the Cincinnati Gazette writes as follow:
$ "One of our prominent Free State men who ma
RI just returned from Washing, had several Ion
interviews with Douglas while there. lie state
2 that during one of them the following dialogu
f took place
. Kansas Man.-There is one thing, Judge Dou
D glRs, which you should clearly understand. We
G in Kansas, intend to use every regular and lega
means to throw off this Lecompton Constitution
d But, if these all fail, and the Administration per
sists in forcing the infamous measure upon us
d contrary to the wishes of nine-tenths Of our pee
pie, we DiH not submit to the outrage. We shal
J. not stop to think about the Union, or anything
else. We will fight the Missourians, the devil
or the United States troops.
Douglass, - Of course you piH-you ought TO!
. The Richmond Examiner, while it assumes
ludicrously lofty tone 10 patronizing Mr.. Douglas
asks this pertinent query:
as there any Southern man who desires +
70 drive Senator Douglas from us by precipitate de
nunciation Are we of the South SO strong tina
y we can bowstring the great representative mel
o of tho North, with as few of the forms of justic
and with as little Investigation as a TurklsI
Pacha exhibits when at a sign the head of som
offending satrap is sent spinning from hi
d shoulders !"
We suspect there are a good many Democrat
at the South who will ponder this question. Non
. but the fre.caters, whose leading objects is tn
d organization of a Disunion party. will be likel
e to ignore or underrate its suggsstiops.- Times.
