Boanp or Assistants.—The last meeting of the “' Na- tive” Board of Assistants was held last evening, and was attended by all the members of the Board. The appear- ce of the out-going members was any thing but cheer- ful. Long before the hour of meeting, were to be seen, in detached groups about the hall and avenue of the City Hall, small cliques of persons discussing the acts of the the out-going Corporation,—and vehemently declaiming st some of their acts. A large crowd was also in attendance outside the bar. There was a settled gloom ‘ing about the vi of most ofthe members ; and Amsistest Alderman Johnéom, Hora and) Ward, in parti- cular, looked sadly dejected. It was, indeed, a truly mournful exhibition. At about 7 o'clock, a fife and drum were heard outside, near to the City Hall, where wi assembled a crowd of boys, who cheered loudly to com- memorate the event. At 7} o'clock, the meeting was called to order, w amotion to suspend the 14th rule was made and n tived. Mr. Warp moved to re-consider the vote. Mr. Cuarticn was of opinion that it was Qnmanly in the Hoard in their last guap, to try to choak down de- ate. Tue Presipent called’tho attention of Mr. Charlick to the fact of the passage of a resolution at their late mect- ting, which confined each member to fen minutes in de- ate. ‘An ordinance in fayor of appropriating $10,000 for the Comptroller, for county contingencies, was taken up nd concurrred in.

One of the rules of the Board requires that ten mem- bers should vote in favor of suspension; so the rules were not suspended. t, A message was received from his Honor, the Mayor, approving of sundry resolutions and ordinances which have passed both Boards. Several of the papers which passed the Board were taken up, but objections being read by Mr. Charlick, the rules not being suspended, they were laid on the table and choked down. ‘This caused considerable amuse- ment.

Among the crowd outside were to be seen the merry faces of a group of expectants, or nominees of the new Corpornyen: who seemed to enjoy the scene a good yal. Mr. Cuarcick talked down the resolution, when the fatal hour having arrived, Mr. Johnson rubbed his chin, Mr. Charlick tittered, Mr. Baylis looked grave as a mus- tard pot, Mr. Ward placed his legs npon his desk, Messrs.

The part; who canvassed the Ward in which this strect is located, reported against, and opposed Hart's right to vote, on the ground of his being @ non-resident, upon which stated he his papers. The defendants were both acting in this capacity of what are called majority in- spectors; and defendant (Perkins) warned Hart not to take his second oath, threatening that he would arrest him in the event of his doing so, and have him commit- ted. The minority inspector, a Mr. Cole, hereupon in- ated Hart’ Tight, and ruled in favor of his record- which plaintiff took the second oath, y defendant and had e from the 6th until the 11th November, when he was discharged.

The premises were so manfully defended by tbe occupant and one of his neighbors, that after receiving six shots from a mus- ket and rifles, the assailing party were compelled to leave before the task was completed.

Yataran FurrHer Pampicutars or THs Fins in Caru- arine Srreer.—The following are the parti- culars of the fire mentioned in yesterday's paper as near as we could collect them: About an hour previous to the fire being observed (say 4 o’clock) a man was observed sauntering up and down the street, opposite the door of the store (and occasionally standing at it) by a lady who resides in a house, opposite, and it is verily believed that he must have been the founda- tion of this doleful transaction. A watchman who was on duty was the first who observed the fire,and gave the alarm instanter; and in trying to force in the door wakened a brother of Mr. Towle’s, who slept. along with others in the establishment ;for the protection of it. Mr. Towle made a rush down stairs towards the basement; but j his progress was arrested by the flames for a ;moment; but on making a second rally suc- | ceeded in gaining the bottom of the store, and there- by saved himself from inevitable destruction. He had his face and whiskers burned a little, but for- | tunately escaped without further injury. brother- in-law of Mr. Barker ‘succeeded in rescuing all the books and other documents of the establishment, who heroically rushed up stairs to the office which is kept on ‘the second story, and quite fear- less of the consequences which might have ensued. Silks, shawls, linens, and all kinds of goods have fallen a prey to this devouring element, and the loss to Messrs. Barker & Towle will not be less than $30,000. The fire companies, as usual, exert- ed themselves to their utmost skill and judgment,and indeed much praise is due them. Nearly the whole front of the establishment is ieetroved, together with a imped pare of the rear ; but notwithstanding, Messrs. B. having much enterprise, will, it is hoped, soon re- cover this great loss; and we confidently hope the | misereant who is supposed to be the means of this catastrophe, may speedily meet the ends of justice. Desrructive Fire in Bosron.—Yesterday after- | noon, the carpenter’s shop of Mr. Geo. Nowell, at the foot of South Cedar street, took fire, and the wind being | fresh from the westward, it speedily communicated to the adjoining buildings in that street and the foot of Pied. mont street, and was not arrested until upwards of twen- ty-five dwelling houses, chiefly of wood, were destroyed. Some of the furniture of the occupants was removed several times, and some burnt in its last place of de- posit. The loss will not probably fall short of $30,000, and the amount of insurance is probably not over $10,- 000 or $12,000. The building next Mr. Nowell’s shop, was a small stable, occupied by Mr. Stephen 8. Andrews, sexton of Rey. Mr. Skinner's’ church; his horses were got out. Both sides of South Cedar street to Church street were destroyed, with the exception of the dwel- ling of Mr. Alfred Morgan, printer, on the corner, which was injured in the roof and upper part, and his furniture was damaged by removal. ‘Ihe Methodist Church, oo- cupied by the Society under Rev. Mr. Raymond, on Church Street, and between South Cedar and Piedmont streets, was considerably injured in the roof and tower. Fortunately, the fire did not cross Church street, or the dam: inthe narrow streets beyond, would probably have been very great. All the buildings on the south- erly side of Piedmont street, to the Church were des- troyed, and several on the north side of the street, com- mencing about midway, and extending to the large brick dwelling house at the corner of Church street, which was badly injured. Several of the houses were occupied by two or more families, chiefly poor per- sons, who have lost all or nearly all they possessed. The following are some of the names of the sufferers On South Cedar street Mr. G. Nowell, who lost his car- penteee hop, with a valuable stock, and three brick jouses, on which he had insurance for $1000 each; Mr. Chas. A.Bodge, dwelling; Mr. Hiram W. Whitney, school teacher, dwelling; Mr. Asa Stearns, who lost three dwelling houses, which we understand, were insured; he occupied one of the houses; Mr. Andrews, as before stated; Mis.

Criminanity aNp Murper.—There was a horrible tragedy enacted in the town of Otselic, in A papery co., on Tuesday Inst, between James C.’ Griffin of town, anda man by the name of Coit of Otselic. The circumstances, as near as I can learn from witnesses, were as foll: It seems that Griflin had resided in Ot- selic until within a year time in April, 1844, Coit s pelted Griffin, who is an ignorant and let him have his farm, and return to this town, Coit re- taining Griffin’s wife. ' Griffin had endeavored by all le gal means, during this time, to rescue his wife from her disgraceful situation, but on account of threats from Coit, Griffin dare not go there, and even here (20 from Coit’s) he has been constantly armed, being in con- stant fear from Coit. Some days since, Griffin received aletter from his wife professing penitence, and a desire to return to her family in this town. Upon the receipt of this k Griffin, in company with his wife’s brother, went to upon the errand. But Griffin was afraid to venture into the house, except upon the strongest urg- ing of his brother-in-law ; and when he did so, he was prepared with as he entered, ¢ id, “Jim, I understgad you have been armed for the last year, now, d—n you, leave the house.” Griffin hastily obeyed him, and after leavi the house, in endeavoring to let down the hammer of pistol, which was in his pantaloons pocket, it discharged the ball entering his thigh just below his body, and lod- ging in his knee. All who were in the house, heari Griffin hallo, went out and found him ru round, crying, “ Don’t let him hurt me.” Coit said “Jim, have you killed yourself.” When Griffin coming round him caught up a whiffletree that lay nggaby;dealt Coit a blow upon the back of the head, whichMliterally smashed his skull to atoms. And after Coit, , struck him twice more before the spectators int@fered. Coit lived only about two hours. Griffin did not attempt to escape, but remained there till the sheriff came and took him in- to custody, These are the simple facts of the case.— ‘There are various opinions in reference to Griffin. Most who are acquainted with him, think that after the acci- dental discharge of his pistol, he supposed Coit would immediately kill him. ‘To saythe least, it is a strange affair, coming from so’ harmless a man.—Brookfield Lat ter, May 9th, in Argus . Leeisvarive Arrars.—The certiorari, bill, as it is known here, being a bill to remove claims sub- mitted by the contractors from the canal board to the Supreme Court, will probably be lost, the Senate having for the House bill substituted a new proposition, that the Canal Board, in assovsing the damagus claimed by acon- tractor, shall be permitted, to offset, on the part of the State, any surplus which the same contractor may have been fortunate enough to make upon any other job he may have executed for the State.

The bill is now before a committee of confer. ence. ‘The excise bill was reported to the Senate yoster. day, as it passed the House, except that New York City is excluded from the provisions of the bill. Inthe House the bill to equalize taxation, by subjecting to taxation reserved rents, was reported complete, ‘The bill as re- ported, provides that occupants of lands subject to these rent cha pay the tax on such rent charges and deduct it from their rents. It also provides that in cases where the taxes on the lands subject to these rent cha: have not been paid the Comptroller shall not elvanioe the lands for sale if the owner of tho rent charges proves that the rents have not been paid for two years. ‘The re- port of the committee was agreed to, and the bill order ed engrossed for a third ing. ‘The Senate met at 7 to proceed with the debate on the convention bill. This sat until half past 12 on Sunday morning, without accomplishing anything, except agree- ing to meet at 8 o’clock on Monday morning, and proceed to vote on the proposed amendments to the bill at) 7 in the evening. The scene enacted in no tended to raise the character of the Senate. To many of that bod: it afforded an opportunity to settle some old scores, whic! had been accumulating during the session, to the great amusement of the by-standers. The proposition which called out so much discussion in the Senate at this night ion was & proposed amendment to the convention bill, that the convention should submit their proposed amend: ments to the constitution as distinct propositions. M: Senator Wright avowed his determination to oppose bill in the event of this amendment being rejected, and declared it his opinion that in case it was not incorporated in the bill, “the dissolution of the great democratic party was inevitable.” This threat gave rise to mutual charges as to the political standing of Senators in former days, during which, as the saying is, “the fur flew.” thing betokens a stormy close to the session—Correapon dence Livingston and We Conruiet wirn a Wil A Man Kiniev.—We learn by Captain Charles A.
