repeated last evening" 10 an immense audience,
in the Church of the Third Parish, the sermon
which he delivered on Fast-Day. 1t was an
earnest, truthful and impressive statement of
our national troubles, with their leading causes,
and the reasons why, thus far, we have not
been more successful in putting down this
most wicked and causless rebellion against the
freest and most beneicent of human govern
ments. The DR.. urged the absolute necessity
Of repentance of national sins as the only con-
dition on which Gods blessings can be expect
ed. OF course he treated the rebellion and
war as the just punishment for past national
transgressions. The sermon was calculated
to do much good.

FRE.-About O'Clock Saturday morning
fire broke out in the rear basement of the
large building on the corner OF York and
Maple streets, owned by John Bradley and
John Rogers, the front part being occupied for
shops. and the rooms overhead as tenements
The police in that district were alarmed by
screams of women, and fastened to the spot,
where they discovered the fire in the cellar.
The smoke had penetrated that portion Of the
building owned by Mr.. Rogers, and almost
sufiocated the inmates. Ladders were imme-
diately placed at the WINDOWS and all the in
mates were taken out, some Of them almost
suffocated by the smoke.
The prompt alarm given by the police soon
brought the Fire department to the spot
Steam Engine No. soon got stream on the
fire, and this being followed by other steam
and hand engines, the fire was extinguished;
but not before considerable damage had been
done. The rear part of the building, with all
the furniture in it, was about destroyed. The
damage to the house will not exceed 5000 or
$500, which is fully covered by insurance in the
Piscataquis Company. The furniture was in
sured in the Bangor Union Insurance Co. 1t
is supposed the fire caught from barrel into
which ashes had been emptied.

lrLetters from Washington under date
of Thursday, to Mr. j. II. Coffin of the East
ern Express Co., state that no tidings have
been heard from Asst. Adjt. General x. c.
Shannon, Chief of Gen. Jackson's staff. He
was last seen trying to rally the 145th n. Y.
regiment which had been driven from their
entertainments. The rebels drove them
through the woods Subsequently our men
regained their position SO that if Capt. S. had
been hit and wounded, they would have re-
gained him. 1t is therefore believed he is a
prisoner. He was brave and cool through the
fight.

Co. A, 18th Maine is in Seminary Hospital,
with gunshot wound, and is doing well.
