occurred under a stairway at the rear Of the

tailor's shop. The occupants were unable or un-
willing to explain the origin Of the fire.

A CURIOUS affair which nearly resulted in a seri-
"a ARRAY naNnrraI 1ota1r a . MaLarn1 nh.
the ship Suffolk was on her voyage here from st.
Michaels the captain took upon himself to marry q
couple who were too spoony to wait till they
reached the shore. This marriage was not validat-
ed by any licensed ceremony after the arrival Of
the young couple. The prOverb about marrying
in haste and repenting al leisure has been fulfilled
in this case. The girl fell in love with another
wooer, who, having got a legal opinion TO the ef-
feet that her marriage was not legal, persuaded her
to leave her supposed husband. The new swain
applied for a marriage license, and the old one for
a warrant against his wife for desertion. The
parties and an excited crowd of their partisans
we're all at the Courthouse together. and there
would inevitably have been an ugly fight, and
probably, some blood-letting but for the presence
Of mind of Mr.. C~hillingworth, who with much
trouble appeased them and gave a promise to con-
suit the Marshal and find ont the true status Of
the supposed marriage before he did anything.
THE number Of Chinese landed at the Quarantine
Station from the Triumph is 255, Of whom 23S are
men. Four women and thirteen children under
twelve years old, make up the number. Mr.. Day
ton brought into town quite a large bag OF letters
on Wednesday night, which, after being fumisated
were duly distributed. By these, a number Of
Chinese residents have learnt that relatives and
friends are On board the Triumph. There was
quite a crowd on the wharf next day outside the
gates of the mail dock, everyone endeavoring to
talk across the interval Of sixty feet with his
friends on board. From the applications made to
the Deputy Marshal on the subject, il is evident
that if free intercourse could be permitted be-
tween the passengers and their fellow-cOuntrymen
ashore, q large number Wonld stay here instead Of
going on TO their destination. just at the present
moment there can be little doubt that the whole
lot would find employment on the plantations
without 8 days delay.
