DsstYuetirs Frs.-Befween the hours Of 10
aud / O'Clock last Saturday night, Bruce's
large candle and soap factory on 18th street,
In Henrico county, known as the olddistillery,
was discovered to be on fire, and the alarm
bells were Immediately sounded. In an incre-
dibly short time the Fire Brigade with their
apparatus were at the scene, but in the ab-
senee Of water, could DO nothing to stay the
flames so that the buildings and their con-
tents were entirely destroyed. Mr.. Bruce had
ON hand an unusually large stock OF tallow,
stored in the upper part Of the factory, and
the necessary fixtures for Il large business this
winter. all of which was consumed. Three
valuable horses, his wagon and carts,
and three or four hogs, were also de-
stroyed in the confiagration. Mr.. Bruce esti-
mates his loss at Si2,gt0, on which he had an
insurance of $500 in the Albemarle office
The fire. in all probability, was the work Of an
incendiary,

Match Ofe7ed-At the pool run at the Bal

gets up undue excitenents, makes outsiders
risk more than they are able to lose, aud thus
embitters the public mind against racing.

The Match Race, between the Messrs. Dos
wells chesnut mare Lucy Haxail, and Messrs.
Fondren, Williams & Co.'s bay mare Lucy
Tally-both four years old-for S200O, two mile
heats came off at Fairfield last Saturday. and
was witnessed by large number of spectators.
Before the start Lucy Haxaii was the fayorite,
and some heavy inyes tments were made upon
her. Lucy Tally won the first heat in $3.50,
and at once the betting changed in her favor,
two and three to one being freely offered that
she would win the race. The second heat
however WAS won in 3:53, by Lucy HaxalI,
after hard struggle, and once more she be-
came the fayorite. Lucy Haxali then won the
third heat in 1855. and the match, to the great
delight of those who had stuck to her through
out, relying more upon the luck and manage
mento her owners than 10 any extraordinary
qualities possessed by the winner.
The week at Fairfield was an exceedingly
pleasant one to the racing men, and the new
CLUB. by proper exertious, can make il all they
desire between this and Spring. The Propri-
etor has started right to build up the sport
and If properly sustained, may make the old
track bloom and blossom az the rose.

How TO LIVE LoNG.-More people die an
nually from a want Of sufficient brain work
than from an excess of it. Good health of
body and mind depends on each having its FIJI!
share of exercise and work, and it would seem
from history that we can better afford the body
to be in state Of lassitudc than allow the in
tellectnai powers to lie dormant. There may
be a physical cause for this, from the fact that
much thought induces a temperate life bat the
exceptions to such a rule be found so enormous
as to show that it was not the only secret. We
are rather inclined to think that the most
general rule, and the one capable of the broad,
est application, by which to attain to that
desideratum, u green old age" is to give the
mind taii play--to expand the powers of
thought Thy reading and observation. and to
banlsh the fear of death, resulting from an en-
hausted knowledge box" We have shown
CO what ages the old philosophers lived, and
may modern ones have been, equally long
lived, Goethe and Roger Bacon both lived 10
Is. Button died at 81, Goethe and West were
-. Franklin aud HerscheI lived to 81, and
aEewton and Vultaired did not finish their labors
Until So. The astronomer HALEY was sc at
his decease, aud Sir Hans Soane was 90.
Michael Angelo aud Titan. the great masters
OF art, lived to 96. These, surely, are Instances
enough to stimulate the individual who wishes
to live long not to forget to cultivate the in.
tellectuai faculties aud imagination. while he is
attending 10 the physical aids of exercise,
cleanliness and temperance. We all think too
much OF the body and neglect the higher and
diviner part within us we cleanse the temple
and adorn its pillars, but we forget that the
dweller therein also requires attention and
care.

From WASHINGTON. "A dispatch from
Washington in the NewYork Times of the
18th says:
!" Tt is not true, as stated in the dispatch to
the Herald, that England has demanded an
explanation from our Government, with re-
ference to the course pursued by Gen. Harvey.
On the contrary, the paper submitted by Lord
Lyons was a proposition for the settlement OF
the dispute, as the treaty provides no remedy.
in case OF u disagreement between the bounda-
ry commissioners The treaty being thus ex-
hatlsted, the parties are thrown back on first
principles, and England now submits a pro
gramnle for the adjustment of the difficulty, in
which she claims the Island of San Juan
Secretary Cass has just returned his reply to
this proposition, declining in the most positive
terms to recognize so much ar the shadow Of a
title, on the part of England, to the disputed
Island. This is the present condition Of the
question, and it remains for England to take
the next step, as we hold possession. This
turn in affairs is regarded as very serions by
our Government, and the result, whether ii be
peace or war, depends entirely upon the tepaci
ty with which Great Britain holds TO her pre-
tended claim.
No action as yet has been taken by the Ad
ministration in response to any communication
which may have recently been received from
the British Government on the San Juar
difficulty. An extraordinary meeting of thu
Cabinet was called to-day. All the member.
were present excepting Secretary Cas-, VIII,
was absent on account Of physical indisposi
ton. @ t
