Herald's Correspondence.)


WASHINGTON, Dec. 16-The President hat
received no official information from England
relative to the Mason and Slidell affair. The
Cabinet has been in session for several hours
to-day, during which our difficulty with England
was discussed with great calmness and firmness.
Whatever the demands from England may be
(and the English newspaper bluster is not tax en-
as any true indication of the intention of that
Government), our Government has resolved
that Mason and Slidell shall never be given up
This may be relied upon as q fixed fact. The
impression is that England would make a de-
msnd for the release of the rebels seized, bul
that lengthy correspondence would settle the
matter without war.

Congress does not legislate unfavorably on the

safe for the Union.
The rumors of o messenger arriving post

The FIre in Oharleston.

FT. MONROE, Dec. l6.-Norfolk and Rich.
mond papers give full particulars of the exten-
sive conaagration in Charleston, sc.
The fire broke out on the llth INST. in a sash
and blind factory at the foot Of Hazel street,
extending to the machine shop Of Cameron &
Co. Before midnight the FIRE had assumed an
appalling magnitude, and Meeting street, from
Market to Queen, was mass Of flames. As
tenement after tenement was enveloped in
flames the panic became awful, and thousands
of families evacuated their houses, and filled
the streets. The buildings in the lower part of
the city where the fire broke out, were princi-
paly Of wood and extremely inAammable, which
accounts for the remarkably rapid progress Of
the fire.
At midnight the Circular Church and Insti
tute Hall were burning, and the proximity Of
the flames to the Charleston Hotel and the
Mills House, caused them to be evacuated by
their inmates.
At one O'Clock the FIRE tended more south
ward toward the corner of Archdale and Queen
streets, to the rear of the Charleston Hotel and
to the end of Home street, crossing Market
street. The fire spread down East bay to Cum
berland street, and across to the Mills House,
including In its destruction the Circular Church,
Institute Hall, and the Charleston Hotel
All the buildings on King street, from Cliff
ford nearly to Broad, were destroyed before
three o'clock.
General Ripley, who superintended the move
ments of the troops who arrived at the scene
at about this time, ordered several buildings on
the route of the confagration to be blown up
not before the theater, Loyd's coach factory,
opposite the express Office, the old executive
building, and all the houses from this point to
Queen street, had caught fire and were de-
stroyed.
| AT about four o'clock the wind changed the
direction of the flames toward Broad street.
Soon after AndreWs's Hall took fire, and subse.
quently the Cathedral, the spire Of which fall.
ing shortly after five O'Clock, the FIRE made q
clear sweep through the city, making its track
| from East Bay to King street.
The Charleston Courier of the 18th instant
gives list of between two hundred and three
hunred sufferers, and says the loes is estimated
at from 81, ,000, 900 to 100000.
Mr.. Russell, at whose factory the fire origi
mated, thinks that 1t must have been occasioned
BY an incendiary or by the negligence OF the
negroes.
The Mills House is only slightly damaged.
message was sent to the Confederate Con
grees on Friday by President Davis in relation
to the conhagration at Charleston, recommend
ing an appropriation in aid of the sufferers.
resolution was accordingly unanimously adopt
ed by the Congress appropriating $3.50, 600 al

Carolina upon the Confederate States.
