formed piece Of plastering fell from

was caving in, and the crowd made for
the windows, which we're about thirty or
forty feet from the ground. The color

takes to write this sentence more than
one hundred darkies had emptied them

Of the dead ascertained at this hour are

names are unknown. Many more were

1t is always hazardous to predict With

wildly as the most unpretending.
Still It is hardly possible to conceive
that specie payments can be maintained
with the comparatively small amount ol

great contraction OF the currency. Such
contraction can but be disastrous, bu,
there is unhappily too much evidence

EEIt will be remembered that several
months ago the Earl Of Leitrim was
murdered in Donegal, ireland. One Of
the causes of the crime is said to have
been his eviction Of the widow Algoe
and her sons from q farm. A few weeks
ago the Algoes forcibly took possession
of this farm. and the present Lord Lei
trim determined to eject them. Accom-
panied by several bsiliffs his agent broke
in the door, when Algoes made des-
perate resistance, but were oyerpowered
ani arrested Circumstances such as
these must tend very seriously to detract
from the pleasure Of being great pro.
prietor in Ireland. Lord Leitrim has
