MoBILR.-The Richmond Sentinel OF Feb.
Sd says:
The report that a large humber OF Federal
transports had passed down the Mississippi and
that an expedition, $1,000 strong, was fitting
out in New Orleans to be landed at Pasca-
goula, exeites some little apprehension in Mo-
bile.
We have reason to believe that there is some
truth in this report, for we have been told by
several Of the returned Fort Gaines prisoners
that the Yankees, just before they lett New
Orleans and Ship Island, declared tha. Mobile
was doomed city, and that thev intended 20 take

TIE EFFECT OF BLOWING UP BUILDINGS IN
CoNFLAGRATIoNs.-D the recent confia-
grafton at Buffalo, N. Y, the experiment of
blowing up Cne or more buildings with po WIDER
was tried for the purpose of preventing the
spreading OF the flames. In order to ascertain
the precise effects of the experiment Mr.. Geo.
II. Allen, Secretary of the Boston Board of
Engine ers. has corresponded with the Chief
Engineer Of Bu..alo, and furnishes the follow.
ing the result Of his inq uires for the nforma-
iton Of firemen. insurance officers, &c. A keg
of powder weighing one hundred pounds was
placed in the partition wall Of the Eagle Hotel
building ga hole having been made in the brick
work tor it's reception-a fuse about four feet
in length was inserted INTO the keg, the match
was applied by Peter p. Miller of the Western
Transportation Company. and all hands made
n hasty retreat out OF harms way. In less than
two minutes after applying the match an ex-
plosion occurred, s'the effect OF which was to
weaken the building and also set 1t on fire,
and cause more damage than it would have
received had it been allowed to stand and run
the risk Of its taking fire. The building was
not laid In ruins The "blowing up,' was de-
termined upon by the Mayor and others and
was we'll intended, but, as in many other simi-
lar cases, failed in effect. The Chief Engineer
is of opinion, after this experience, that there
:smore danger from an explosion than from
fire, and il a building cannot be torn down, he
would prefer the chances of burning, particu-
larly If the fire is in the centre Of a block of
buildings.-BOSton Journal

The rumor early in the afternoon that an

from Richmond depressed the market slightly,

The uncertainty, however, as to the inter view
made the market unsettled, and caused it to
droop somewhat. The "shorts" bought in

A letter from the Army Of the James, dated

alt is reported that the rebel fleet started
down the river early this morning, but after
proceeding short distance turned back and
anchored in their old position.
