These were also entirely consumed. All tho buildings were of wood and tho total loss is about 1700.

and in the great Babel over the river superlatively, covered with dirt, there is somehow or other no dust to annoy eyes or mouth, this morning We hud occasion to pass through Broadway, in N. Y. and never have we seen that famed thoroughfare present a brighter aspect. Walking there, if we had been asked to mention the particular characteristic which would in all probability first impress a stranger visiting New York, we should reply that it was a gay activity. This is surely tho most striking feature of the population.

Wo have often wondered, of a bright morning, how every body could dress so well, and where on earth they could find business enough to employ them, and make it necessary for them to hurry along at that helter skelter pace. Wc aro not sure but it is unjust to this country after all, to attribute the want of fun' to it, which most European travellers attribute. Go through the streets, and see for yourself, almost any where, in pleasant weather, particularly at tho beginning of 1 business For tho early time of the clay, there is, too, an aspect of youth impressed upon N. ork. Two thirds of the persons you meet in the street are young men or boys nearly grown clerks, apprentices, oilicc uoys, and so on.

Theso with their bl ight faces, and their exact attire, form by no means the least agreeable part of the scene. Dull and torpid must that man be who can walk any distance in tho streets of tho metropolis, of a morning, and not become imbued with tho cheerfulness so evident everywhere around. Tho capital of France is a gay city but the gayety wo speak of is quite different from the flippant gayety of the Parisian population. Theirs is a spirit which seems to partake of the thoughtlessness of tho savage a disposition to enjoy to day, and take no caro for to morrow. Ours, we think, is more the disposition to make business a pleasure to work, but to work with smiles and a bright heart.

Theirs is a repast, all flowers and fine dishes, but with little for the appetite ours forgets not the ornamental part of the feast, but retains the solid, loo. It is somewhat singular that few or none of tho travellers in America have noticed theso truths or rather that none have noticed all tho truth for they have generally given us quito crodit enough, and too much, for application to business, and little, or nono at all, for enjoyment. The mistake is, probably, that they find few idle pleasures popular in America. There is undoubtedly hero a great a very much too great eagerness for wealth, and a forgetfulness, in feverish speculation, of tho humble philosophy of living while we live but at tho same time there is a powerful current of smiles and liveliness running through the national character, and developing itself, so far, in the way wo have mentioned What can afi'ord a livelier spectaclo for instance, than the lower part of Fulton street, or of Atlantic Brooklyn than Broadway, the Bowery, Grand street, Canal street, and nearly all of the large N. Y.

thoroughfares, 011 a fino morning or afternoon? Of course, many of the persons who look so gay there have their own special troubles and cares, no doubt, as it is the lot of all mortality to have. But, for the hour, they have forgotten them. Sunshine oflhe mind beams over their faces, aud thoy find relief in the excitement of so much bustle aud noise the spectacle of so much fashion and beauty. And, indeed, all through the day, in almost all parts of New York, this activity never flags. Surely there can be no town 011 earth that has less of a sleepy look than that.

It is always wido awake," and the throbbings of its pulse beat forever Wo commend this spirit, for we commend whatever is opposed to idleness and melancholy. Life is short enough to make the most active hands, joined with the quickest brain, slow to do what ought to bo done and dark onough to render all that throws sunshine around us welcome indeed. We might, perhaps, if we tried, offer Fome suggestions of improvement but to tell the truth, we arc not among those who prefer to dwell on tho deficienccs of a community, than on its merits and we are quite satisfied with Brooklyn aud New York character as it is confident that though it might bo better, there arc hard two cities elsewhere, take them all in all, in which it is as well.

James Gill, near Faycttcville, took fire on the 2d by a lighted candle coming in contact with a quantity of peach brandy which Mr. G. was emptying into a barrel in his cellar. Tho cellar wasimmediately filled with a flaming sheet of liquid fire, which communicated to the house and wrapped it in Haines, before it MitcrciMn fnr 1 li Ai.nSt,. il.

doors: consequently one of the children was con the house, aud two others so badlv burned as to have caused their deaths since, and tho fourth cmld lcct 'ved severe burns, rendering it doubtful whether he will recover or not. Mr. Gill himself was also badly burned at tho instant of the brandy taking lire, and also by his exertions to save his family. Horrible death of a nov. An inquest was held on Monday last, in West on tho body of a young lad named Jacob Moore, aged about 11 years, son of John Moore, who was killed on the previous evening by a young colt running away with him.

Tho saddle turned, and the unfortunate youth appears to have been drugged through tho adjoining wood a considerable distance. His blood was traced on various stumps aud projections, to where the body was found. He breathed a few moments after being taken up, and expired. His head was droadfully broken.

Extract from tlic proceedings a Learned Socio: Mu. Brooklyn E.vr.i.E The following must not bo suspected as involving an intention to wound any person or institution but an innocent bit, (or a' tempt, atleast,) allegitimatc pleasantry. Sincerely anxious to avoid the imputation of ill nature tho narrative must tell the rest for itself. A pale thin young man now stepped forward.

He was dressed in black, and had a very white shirt collar, (but his wristbands wero dirty, creating a suspicion of a certain kind of dislocation at the shoulders) turned down very low on his neck, which was very long, lie had in his hand a small glass bottle, containing a liquid which ho informed the society ho desired to have analysed. This thin young man took a glass and poured out a little of the liquid, and handed it to the President, who looked at it, tasted it, and handed it to the member nearest him, who also tasted it, and passed it on. The young man stated that about a year previously ho had lost his mother, and that threo months airo his father had married again. It was unnecessary, he said, for him to narrate all the circumstances which led him to tho determination of leaving the paternal roof. But leave it lie did, and for the purpose of taking up his abode in a place described in an advertisement as offuring pleasant apartments, with all the comforts of a home." He had been at his new residence between seven and eight weeks.

Soon after the change, he had been led to notice among many other remarkable customs a certain inexplicable arrangement at the beginning of tho evening meal. Very nice little white cups, stand nig nice littlo white saucers, were carefully filled with a peculiar liquid, generally of a tepid temperature, but once in a whilo quite hot, and despatched by a servant to the proximity of each boarder's plate. The color of this liquid was bluey white, and it had a very, very faint flavor of somo bitter herb or ve getable, something between salt hay aud soaped potato parings. Supposing at first that it was intended to wash down his bread and hotter. tho young man took a hearty swallow an achievement, ho announced to tho Institute, which, like Richard, was itself alone, for he) had never done the like from that time forth again.

He was satisfied, however, by the taste, that this curious liquid was not intended to drink. In order to be more assured ho privily abstracted a thimble full one evening, and gave it to his canary bird tho result was, in less than forty eight hours tho little innocent was dead as a door nail. So heavily did the subject weigh upon the young man's mind that he determined to present a portion the contents entire of one of the little white cups, to the conclave, believing that their united research and wisdom would penetrate, the mystery. The thin young man then bowed to the meeting, and sat down. The President stated that he could detect the presence of puinp water in the liquid as to the other ingredients he was as yot not able to speak with any kind of certainty A member suggested whether the bluey color did not come from tho use of a pewter spoon that was if a pewter spoou were used.

And he culled upon the gentleman who presented tho liquid to say if a pewter spoon wero really used. The pale, young man acknowledged that a pewter spoon was used. (This produced a marked excitement through the assembly.) A fresh lookinrr simple faced member hero arose, and remarked 1 don't know what tho rest of yon think, but I should call it tea This speech was immediate followed by a singular medley of confusion. A numbor laughed at it as a capital joke but the majority spoko to, and looked at the sirnple faccdman with inexpressible contempt. The simple faced man himself sat down, covered with shame, and swore an inward oath that ho would never mako auothor public address in his life.

One of tho members hero raised the question whether any person deliberately placing such liquid before men or women, without proper caution of its effects, did not come clearly under that statuto which treats of Endangering Human Life The Secretary responded that ho thought so too The pale young man here made an emphatic declaration ending with a desperate, So I will by gum Several members now commencing to speak in great excitement, and matters looking ominous of a row, an elderly officer moved with a loud voice that tho subject be laid on the tablo The member who had started the hint of the pewter tea spoon amended tho motion so as to make it read, be poured out of the widow" which was carried by acclamation.

From Mexico and tne tinlE (Trie, graph ic.) Government Express to the lfe.it Coast HaUinir of the Princeton Orders for a. Vigorous Prosecution of the War Farther from lima at the Capital Gen. SaJis IcUng President Ss'cic Celine; Couiptctc. The New Orleans Picayune of tho 15th says that Lieut. Hunter, of the Navy, took passage ill tho Princeton at on tho 12ih bound for Chagres, with despatches to Commodore Sloat.

According to tho correspondent of tho Picayune, tho purport of theso despatches is to countermand tho.je so recently sent from York by Commodore Nicholson, of tho Vixen and that the Commodore's despatches are supposed to breathe war to the knife against Mexico but those of Hunter, peace to the bosom. Gen. Santa Anna is said to have arrived at the city of Mexico, but he had not entered ostensibly upon the discharge of tho duties of President. Gen Sulis still remained at the head off affairs, surrounded by tho following Cabinet: Geueral Almouto, minister of War Senor Ilejon Minister of Foreign Affairs Senor Gomez Farias, of Finance Senor Pachceo, of Justice and Public Instruction. The Federal Congress has been summoned for tho first of December.

The piau has been suggested by tho Mexicans, of exchanging Commander Carpenter, of the Trtixlon, for Con. La Vega. The Uuion newspaper is silent in relation to the reply, understood to have been received by the President on Saturday, from the Mexican Government. Nor does tho official journal reproduce an important letter from the squadron, reporting the refusal of Mexico to negotiation, which appeared hi the Baltimore Sun of Monday morning Wisconsin and Iowa. Growth of the Republic Mr.

Darby states that the aggregate area of Wisconsin and Iowa is 104.000 square miles, or one twelfth of the whole organized territory of the Union. Mr. D. assumes the present population of tho Union to be 21,000,000, which gives an average population of seventeen to a square mile. When they are peopled," as they soon will be, to an extent equal to the mean of tho Union, they will possess 1 000 inhabitants, or rather less than Ohio probably does already," with an area of 39,000 square miles.

The agricultural and mineral resources and commercial facilities of theso new States are scarcely examplod, and their growth in population, wealth and importance, must be exceedingly rapid. These facta and reasonable inferences afford a themo of interesting speculation. The march of the United States in wealth and population and improvements amazes all who contemplate it, and was never properly estimated and understood even by our own statesmen. It was only five and twenty years ago that President Monroe, in a message to Congress, recommended that tho territory, now forming Wisconsin and Iowa, be set apart for the abode of the remnant of the North Western tribes of Indians. Neither Mr.

Monroe nor any one else could then conceive of tho wonderful results which entiro freedom and immense natural resources wero soon to produce. "lat ofTexaB is UU.UUU square milts, or territory enough for three States as largo as the largest in the Union, Virginia and there is every reason to believe that in half a century, its population will be three times as great as that of Virginia at present. At an annual increase of three per and it is estimated by some at three and a third, we shall number, at tho close of the present century, one hundred millions. Suicide of a Califoh.man.' The Rondout Democrat says that John Terwilliger, a young man udoui ai years 01 age, lormcrly a resident ot Kingston, lately enlisted in Stevenson's California regiment. He was warmly attached to a young girl of Kingston, and obtaining a furlough, ho came up a fow days ago from the encampment at Governors Island, and endeavored to persuade the object of his attachment to marry him.

A stcaofast refusal caused the desperate determination to commit suicide, and he took a dose of arsenic on Tuesday, but tho potion was so large as to cause vomiting. Medical aid placed him out of danger, but contrary to his doctor's directions, and from his declarations it is with a steady resolve upon destruction, he drank a largo quantity of water, which produced death.
