The Great Fire im Albany.

ALBANY, April THE books of the concern
and valuables from the safe, and most of the
law, medical, legislative, and miscellaneous
volumes issued by the house, and on the first
floor, were removed in safety; but with these
exceptions, it was found impossible to save any
thing from the sudden ruin. Over three hun
dred people are thrown out of employment,
while Weed, Parsons & Co. sustain loss of
$3.50, 900 above the insurance, which amounts to
100000
NEW YORK, April THE Office of District
Attorney Garyin was entered by thieves last
night, who endeavored to obtain certain vaua-
BILE papers. They failed in their efforts.
The Chamber of Chamber Committee for the
relief of the suffering population of France
held meeting this afternoon. Charles HI.
Marshall chairman, stated that in consequence
of speculation in provisions entered into after
France was reopened to commerce,
and the sudden influx of sap
plies previously purchased by the Govern
ment for its use as soon as communications
should be restored. there is now, superabun-
dant TODD supply in the country.
Reports from the committees agents abroad
state that in Paris there has been considerable
waste of perishable articles, and that at Havre
and other points there was no sale for either pro-
visions or breadstuffs.
Nevertheless there is still much suffering
among the people, especially in places where,
for want of sufficient means of transportation,
relief can only be sent in the form of money.
For these reasons it has been found desirable to
convert into cash the supplies already sent out
by the committee, as well as those still remain
ing on hand in this city awaiting transportation.
resolution was adopted authorizing the Ex .
ecutive Committee to take that course and
another directing the publication of detailed
report of the proceedings of the Relief Com
mittee.

ST. PATRICK'S DAY.

1t is not necessary to remind our readers
that this, the 18th of March, is st. Pat
rick's Day, special holiday of the natives
Of the Emerald Isle, and high festival OF
the Catholic Church. The Irish venerate
st. Patrick as the person who introduced
Christianity into their country. He is
said tc have been born at Fitzpatrick, near
Dumbarton in Scotland, and to have first
visited Ireland as a boy and. a prisoner ;
afterward travelling into Gau and Italy
and growing up as learned priest, he was
commissioned by Pope Celestinet to convert
the Irish, a task which he Immediately
commenced, and carried into effect with
unexampled ardor and perseverance. lie
Travelled throughout the whole Of Ireland,
preaching everywhere to the people, whom
! ho baptised in multitude lie also or
dained clergy to preside over them, gave
almo to the poor, made presents TO tho
kings, founded monasterics, and in short,
established the Christian rel gion and full
apparatus for its support in Ireland. He
died in 1872, at Dywre in Ulster, and was
there buried
The sons of Ireland arcnlways solicitous
TO display tho Shamrock on st. Patrick
Day. The Shamrock is q bunch of ;ro-
foil, a species Of grass. II is associated
with St. Patrick ard his day, in conse-
quence, as popular story goes, Of the
Saint having made very adroit use Of the
plant in his first preaching, Immediately
after landing. The people being staggered
By the doctrine Of tho Trinity, he took up
n tre-foil growing on one stalk, wherepon
they were Immediately convinced and be-
came converts. In Dublin, ST. Patriok's
Day is, or was lately, II scene of fcstivity
and mir,h unparalleled. From the
highes; to tho lowest says Mr.. Hone,
"sll seem inspired by the Saints benoa-
cencc. At day-break Gags ay from the
steeples, and the bells ring out incessant
peals till midnight. The rich bestow their
benevolence on the poor, end tho poor
testow their blessing. on the rich, on each
other and on the blessed -. Patrick.

hat, sports Of manly exercise exhibit the
capabilities Of the celebrated ,hilelah.

Tho day Is not so jubilantly celebrated
IN this side the water, but by every Irish
heart II I. held in remembrance and Is
from the routine of every
lag life, by music, professions, relaxation
from business, and by the general good
humor depicted on tho counter aIcc' Of
ali ,rue-born Irishmen.
