The usual half-monthly meeting of the Farmers’ Club was held yesterday in the repository in the Park. It was but thinly attended, but there was fully more spirit in the discussion than is displayed on ordinary occasions. On motion of the Secretary, Mr. Meigs, Alder- man Jeremran took the chair. The Secretary intimated to the Club that a gentle- man who is in want of a farm was desirous of hav- ing it stated there, that if any member had, or knew who had one to sell, they could negotiate on the sub- ject. The Secretary again called the attention of the audience to a statement, of which he held in his hand an extract. 1t was found in the last parliamen- tary returns of Great Britain,and might be relied on. He thought it quite relevant to their preceedings, and exceedingly interesting, as showing the enormous wealth of that country. By the returns to parlia- ment of the live stock inthe United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, it appeared there were 22,050,000 horses, worth 335,000,000 of dollars; 15 millions of black cattle, worth 1075 millions of dol- lors; 50 millions sheep, worth 335 millions of dollars; 18 millions of pigs, worth 91,350,000 dollars. Total value of the said live stock 1,836,350,000 dollars. Another curious fact he was desirous of calling their attention to. There were now 500 loads of tea which was saved from the late fire, at the same price per load as common manure ; those wishing to so apply it had now a fine chance. The value of this tea when sound was, perhaps, about $00,000. Of the Highland Society of Agriculture, the Sec retary made honorable mention, and stated they pro- posed in future to be on terms of greater intimacy with them, and read a list of the premiums offered on various subjects. In looking over the transac- tions of that society, he had met, and madean ex- tract of a speech of one of its members, Mr. Bain, which he thought beautiful, and would read it for the club. It read as follow: “ People and their happiness are the beings and the well-being of a State, its origin and its end. Agricul- ture is alsoa manufacture, and one requiring little ex- treme for consumption. Every grain beyond that sown is clear profit. Agriculture employs the greatest num- ber of hands ; itis the most healthy, the most moral, and little capable of being managed by machinery. Twenty-seven millions of persons are sustained in Great Britain by agriculture, and its annual product is $300,000,000.” Mr. Kerr suggested that farmers were liable to be too farcarried away by the application of guano and poudrette. He thought they would do better, how- ever excellent these manures were, to pay attention to the resources they hadin the barn-yard of sup- plying empelves with the best kindof manure. (A pause. : Presivent said that as the subject of manure had been brought up, he would recommend thein to pur sue it as it was an interesting one; he would be happy to hear any gentleman remark on it. (A pause.) For himself, he could afford but little light en the subject ; he had been in the country fora few years, was something like the officer that march- ed up the hilland then down again. The farm he held had a great deal of salt marsh upon it, or salt mud. Had he remained there, he intended to make me experiments by mixing this mud with earth and testing its quality as a manure. He had no doubt that this salt mud or marine ses if formed nto acompost, would be valuable. Many farms possessed large quantities of it- Mr. Seevy had tried the effect of thts treatment on swamps and peat ; it was useful, but these lands required to be stimulated, gradually becoming more productive. He had no doubt that experiments on this subject would produce beneficial results: at present it was not much examined. Cor. Crarke said that in Pennsylvania, along the tide waters where lands had been reclaimed, they were less productive at first than afterwards. As the salt water disappeared or percolated through the earth, the fertility increased much. In proportion asthe saline matter was drawn off, vegetation in- creased aula enh He continued to say, that mis- cellaneous subjects being in order, he would present to their inspection a few specimens of the wild goose berry, which he had procured when out West lately. He could not obtain any wild currants, althongh that fruit was also indigenous to the climate. The gooseberrieshe procured from Goat Island—(speci- mens produced and inspected.) Mr. Metasannounced a meeting of the Westches- ter Farmers’ Club for Saturday next; the members of this club would be welcomed if they went. He read the notice for the information of all who took an interest in that young society. . A member thought thatit would be in accordance with the spirit of the age to encourage such move- ments, and worthy of their attention to attend to this meeting. He would move that one cr more de- legates be sent to it from thisbody. It would serve to give some importance to their meeting. Mr. Meas, Col. Clarke and Mr. Kerr were named as Mel gazes, and permission given to as many more as liked to volunteer, Dr. Unperuiut arose to remark before the regular subject was brought up, in regard to guano; he feared it was going to disappoint many this year. It was clearly a powerful stimulant, and few Persons were careful enough to use it in moderation. He thought it was fit- ting to take notice oferrors and failures as well cesses inagricultural experiments. It was the ca season that in some instances tb seed not come up at all; in others the young plant was injured. The injurious operation of guano arose, in his opinion, from the ammonia it contained in abundance, which required to be diluted by rainto make ita good manure; this season the drought was injurious. In England it was not perhaps over valued; the climate there was moist, and suitable, and it was never a failure. But if it was not always the case here,he would not make up hi ind that it would not be often found useful. The best use to make of the fact was to recollect the resour- ces the farmer had of his own to make manure—so great that it was hardly worth looking for any other, however great the benefit. Mr. Fceer put in a word or two for guano. It ought, he said, to be recollected that ina dry season such as was unsuitable for guano, no manure would yield its virtues freely; nay, they would be found injurious. Of all, he thought muck the safest; the best’ way to use @uano was to mix it with muck, which was e general practice. hs A Memner.—Well, dried muck of course. damp would be to spoil the nature ef both. of assent.) Col. Cranks seized a short interval of silence which occurred here, to exhibit a portion of the trunk of a young peach tree, which had been flourishing beautitul- y, at one period, but which became suddenly diseased, dropped into a gallopping consumption and died. Upon aclose and scientific post mortem examination it was dis- covered to have buen the victim of sundry malicious worms, which gnawed and chewed away the bark, the suc- this did To use it (Murmurs tender roots and infant fibres. The aforesaid worms were found ina chrysalis state imbedded in the wood, and a very contemptible figure some of them cut when exhi- bited before the Farmers’ Club. ‘The CuaraMan here announced the subject of the day to be, “Insects injurious to crops.” Mr: Kenr arose first; he said he did not know the n of these insects, and believed it could not well be made out, but this he did know, that if there was any mode of destroying them, it would be of prime impor- tance to discover it. He believed that they had their origin in the farm yard. No one could doubt this who looked at the heaps of manure in the farm yard, and saw it teeming with animal life. Why not those insects be conveyed on to the soil, and there thrive and grow, and attack the plant? Now, then, tracing the evil to its source, they could the better extirpate it. This could be done by composting the manure. In a conversation with Judge Hall, who lives in the northern part of this State, he became convinced of the truth of this view, and commenced composting 500 loads of manure at once. The mixture was composed of three parts of manure one of lime, and one of earth. This was separated into a [a many heaps, in which, after two weeks, anaston- ishing change was visible. ‘The volume decreased, and few Sinches from the surface being removed, adense showing the rapidity of the action of ion which was going on. In about four weeks not found the trace of a single insect, and so which commonly would not approach it. In the same manure was oving mass. All explained.

Another thing might be fore manure was laid on ti in a soluble condition, which was that ca affording most benefit to plants. He would m other experiment. There was a tree in the Judg attacked by white insects in so great numbers as ral- ly to cover it. He took a little Scotch snuff and sprin- kled the tree with it, and in three minutes the insects dropped off like dew. Ina week’s time there was not a single insect remaining, and from that forth the ts covered, and is now perfectly sound and wholesom Mr. Smirn said that no subject was less understood than the history of insects. There were many eurious notions prevalent about their habits—something like that ef the fox ee rass. But insects could be under. stood.

The difficulty you must apply tothe plant diseased. The little entomy is put by the mother into the ovule; sometimes into the stack of wheat; and if you do not kill it there, you will no where else, because you will not findit. Just so with all other animals. The larve in my head will be content with no other quarters. (Laughter and scratching of heads.) One kind will eat books, and nothing else will satisfy him; another will dine on your old goat— he is hatched in it, and makes himself a co- coon of the leavings. Insects that will eat your plants one time, will not another. The Hessian fly makes no deposit. It is said to be of the same class as the pecan horse fly, but this I think isnotthe case. Mr. jaid it was astonishing what labor and learn- estowed in investigating the history of in- se how many powerful minds had been bent on that little insect.

The turnip beetle destreys whole crops of tur Aristotle, 2000 years ago,toek upon him to give us a history of the bee- tle. Much has been said as to the destruction of these animals, The last singedtion, made by Mr. Smith, was about the best. It would be necessary to find out the plant where the mother puts him, otherwise he wi fle all your skill. Mr. Haven says, that the Hessian fly made his appearance first about 1780 or 87, and obtained his name from the Hessian troops, to whom he was li- keced on account of his destructive qualities. In 1792, after investigating the subject, the Agricultural Society containing the great names of Livingston, and Haven, the only conclusion they could come to was, thet the ue of the H sian fly was deposited in the bottom of the rye and w stalk, and would remain there after harvest ; hence it was requisite to burn the stubble, or give him a grave in the earth by ploughing him down in the fall. After giving a variety of interesting experi- ence of his own as to the habits of insects,Mr. Meigs con- cluded by saying that he could only satisfy himself of this that insects would be found in their first stages but in one place—that they would eat but one kind of food, and that the very best, any more than a rat would take the second best cheese out of a thousand. Hence the plan would be to cut off the supply of food, by making it distasteful to the insect. This ke believed was practi’ cable, many chemical substances could be found, which could be applied to accomplish this without injuring the plant in any en He thought it ought to be tried ; that was all he could say about it. Dr. Unpeanitt commenced by observing that insects presented a vast field for study. All the depredations of animals of every other kind could not ameunt to one- fourth of that caused by insects. It had been estimated that in one year in the United States there has been five to ten millions of bushels destroyed by them. In the State of New York alone there is commonly from one tu three millions of wheat destroyed by the Hessian fly and the wheat worm. A great deal had been written upon the habits of insects, but there was not that practi- ca] application of them which was wanted by the farmer, and by wtich millions of dollars could be saved. The canker worm destroyed an immense quantity of grain. The destruction of the peach tree by the peach-worm has been enormous for the last twelve years. ‘The objeet of bringing the subject before the Farmers’ Club of New York is to make out a remedy. The wheat crop is of vast importance to the United States, and I will allude to one way of getting rid of the Hessian fly. [The sub. stance of Dr. U.’s pran was early or late sowing, by which the animal was killed by the frost. In the course ot his observations, he said the wheat-worm was first discovered at Albany about twenty years ago, and that since then it has been gradually spreading’ over the whole country, at the rate of about five or six miles every year ina vast circle. The remedy for this was sowing very finely pulverized slack-lime on the wheat crop at that peried when the grain begins to form. insects are certainl; Fe pon by this method. igMr. Mrzcs and others followed, after which the meet- ing adjourned, having agreed to take up the samo sub- ject at their next meeting. The IZABETHPORT, Aug. 4, 1845. The Town—Its Minister—Enthusiasm and Enter- prize—The Language of Vegetables. Aide of one hour in the earliest train of cars yesterday morning, brought us to Elizabethtown, in season to attend the services of a neat Presbyterian church in Jersey street. On entering, a pleasant and somewhat youthy-lookingjdivinewas reading alhymn which was sung by the choir in good taste. After- wards came a sermon of a peculiarly interesting character—practical in all its bearings, and applica- ble to the daily occurrences of life. I would bear testimony to the excellentcharacter of the discourse, and if the commendation of a stranger would give a momentary joy to our worthy instructor, then I do not hold my pen in vain. If his social, private life accords with his public teachings, and his motives of action flow from the pure and elevated source, which he strongly yet mildly desired should govern all, then surely the end of that man will be peaceful, and the reward of the righteous will be his. A short walk home with some of the loveliest young ladies of the village, (who welcomed us to the quiet retreats of rural life from the noisy world of our own home,) left us only time to ride to the hotel at this place, where we were engaged to dine. Elizabethport! Shades of our ancestors! spirits of departed speculators! gather round and weep! Empires of the past glorious landmarks on the great highway of time, powerful in eres grand even in ruins, you have all, all been eclipsed by Elizabethport! “A few years ago the place was oc- pied by thrifty farmers, whose fields and orchards yielded ample return for the labor bestowed and capital invested. But achange came. The wand of the magician waved over the place, and the in- habitants around saw the fields destroyed, orchards uprooted, hills levelled, long lines of avenues ex- tending as far as the eye could reach. A brick building om one block, a few uncomfortable houses scattered over the tract. This was all that the eyes of these nsiblepart could discover. Different scenes rose up before the ardent public-spirited speculators. One turn of the magic wand brought palaces into existence, lining their avenues. Temples. and domes surrounded their public squares, surpassing in beauty the fables of fairy lands. The population in- creased, and, like Tyre of old, Elizabethport be- came the mart ef many nations. ‘ Her merchants were princes, and her wise men were the nobles of the earth.” But a rise so sudden to prosperity, so un- exampled, met with a rapid decline. Not a vestige of her former grandeur remains—not the phantom of a palace is visible. i: An excellent dinner and siesta prepared us, much refreshed, for an evening visit to the village, where we feund many rian Chi to greetour return. A wit of our company, finding the long dry weather had destroyed every article usually used in forming a bouquet, hit on a happy expedient for conveying to a fair one of dark eyes a token of the interest they had excited in the morning. After a visit to the baile garden, he returned with us to the ladies, and fearing a bouquet of his novel materials might not be understood, he explained it, much in the tol- lowing manner: “This,” said ‘he, “ tender, 18 a beet-leaf, which indicates my regards are tender, a This is asparagus, and the next an onion-top—the first shows the regard is of rapid growth, aud the latter indicates its strength. ‘The potato-top indicates it will always have sufficient nourishment, and the sage-leaf gives evidence that all have been well seasoned.” Eaa@ Trapg in Cincinnatt.—The Cincinnati Ga- zetle gives the following statistics of the egy trade in the Queen City of the West.

Such is the case with the Arkansas river.— The Missouri, in consequence of the great volume of its waters, does not disappear, but it spreads out for leagues, ard 1s extremely shallow in the desert. Through this region must, of necessity, be the great high-way to Texas, ard the line of communi- cation is about to be perfected by the construction of | of human acidity, a bridge over the Arkansas, which will be very val- uable property. For this purpose the Little Rock Bridge fies ey has been formed under a very hb- eral charter. That the stock will be profitable in a high degree, no one can doubt who understands the porate of this region, and is fully aware of the fact that this route must be the great thoroughfare to Texas. The revenues from the ferry at this time, at Little Rock, would pay 134 per cent. on the in- vestment, and from the rapidity with which the pop- ulation of the country and the travel is increasing, the profits would very soon be increased to 20 per cent. The facilities for constructing the bridye as respects permanency of location and proximity ot materials, cannot be surpassed.

The sugar planters and cotton planters will be moving into Texas very rapidly. ‘This is the only avenue, by land, to that new “bit” of the promised land. It 1s yet uncertain whether Texas will be a tariff State or not—whether it will join the Northern tariff men on account of its sugar products, or strike for the anti-tariff flag of the South, on the score of its cotton productions. ‘This is a very interesting subject for speculation. But at present I fear I have ih a too far on your val- uable space, and so conclude for the present. Yours, truly, A Squarrer. Suaron Sraines, July 30, 1845. Philosophy at the Springs—American Society. Anyone who is desirous to escape entirelyfrom the atmosphere of active life, amd to avoid all associa- tion with the ordinary concerns of mankind—to listen for a brief period to the hum of the insect, in- stead of the sound of business—to lie down with the soft winds of evening for his requiem, and to awake to the music of the lark, instead of the thunder of a hundred vehicles in motion, over a stony thoroughfare, will here find his humor grati- fied to its fullest extent. The arrival and departure of the stagesin the morning, conveying passengers to and from this place, isan event, and quietly, as it passes over the dial of time, it produces the only visible sensation during the day. About half past six, from the innumerable doors and passages of the Pavilion, pours out a merry throng, eager to taste the honied dew which is distilled on the rosy cheek of ma a and to say a reluctant good bye to friends who are departing, or to take a last look of those who have borne them, though it may be a si- lent companionship, during their sojourn here. In this httle community, we form an instructive friend- ship withevery one. There is no gross familiarit or forced contact with persons whom we ctl avoid; strangers are as much aliened to each other, in all the outward forms and ceremonies of society, as elsewhere ; and meet with the same look of affected indifference, yet a silent sympathy with those whom we see every day under the same roof, mere tenants, like ourselves, springs up in the heart, and we are loth to part, although we never knew the pleasure of meeting. ; If'is a difficult matter to classify American socie- YY, rank and degree being supposed to be merged wm the more distinguished honor of being called a citi- zen. We have wealth, large and overgrown pos- sessions, but they have been of too rapid acquire- ment to confer distinction, and are too often asso- ciated with the meannesses and moral depravity, by which, they have been obtained. Upon the basis of wealth, there has not yet been suflicient time to erect a superstructure of those other, and nobler qualities, which belong to the true aristocracy of a country, and distinguish the time honored landhold- er from the parvenue of fortune. Persons will not yield respect to those who started in the same race ot life with themselves, perhaps with less bright hopes, and anticipated fortunes, but who, disdain- ing the noble path of ambition, have plunged into the mire of money making, and come out blackened in all the features of human- ity, though bearing upon their distorted lumbs their bags of shining gold. I heard the daugh- ter of a very wealthy gentleman, who has retired from business, Open’ amiable in allrespects but her beauty scofied at, because, it was said, “she had such an odor—not of nationality, but of Chat- hain street about her.” ‘The best description I can give of things here, is to say, that we have white, blue, pink and green, the fashionable balzorine, and gaudy braize, and the well appointed toggery of the gentleman, We have the sick and the well—the crippled, and those who seem too light and buoyant for earth. Those, who have left their homes to get rid of society, and those who have come to Et into it. It appears to be the fashion to feign sickness of some kind or other, and there is an infinite deal of amusement to listen to the imaginary ills of many of these people, who, but for the courage te be well, one should think, would make most excellent porters and bustling serving maids. We have young middies sporting in all the smartness of their new uniforms, and with prepos- terous notions of the dignity and importance which a gilt button entails ; lieutenants who have seen service, and carefully put out of sight the aforesaid button as a disagreeable association with long voy. agesand shoit salaries; captains, and old commo- dores who have so long tossed upon the ocean ofbran- dy and water in the troublesome times of peace, as to $e uuerly unseaworthy ; these, mingle in with the darned patch of bgt | .and though they will be so, like Scrateh, as Sam lick says, are far from being the worst company to be met with. We have—but Bpropos of a young Lieutenant who was seen to float for a few days in the brilliant sa- loons as gaily as the stripes from the masthead of a 74, and then suddenly disappeared. It is said that he anchored his affections in the bosom of the young and beautiful Miss V- , from your city, but the mischievous puss parted cable, and sent him adrift farther out upon the waters, where he may have plenty of leisure to write sonnets to her eyebrows, and through the dim perspective of memory, to trace her charms by the garish light of a lover’s fancy. ‘Tue Sprinas.—The visiting season is now at its height; full four thousand strangers are in town.— Our first a hotels are full, yet, by the skilful man- their landlords in‘colomizing” them to pri- lodging accom modatio: re not in- is crowded, at new comers.8Thi are also doing Aug. 4. | number is the beautiful portrait galle: Col.

Religion, that sweetener as full scope, and the large at- tendance upon the divine oracles induces me to in- fer that few keep beyond the pale of salvation. The spirit of charity is, notwithstanding, sometimes considerably jostled, and the Angel of Grace caused to weep over many an erratic saint. Quite a scene was presented, a few days since, at the funeral of an Odd Fellow, when a couple of reverend gentle- men took a few cross-fires fover the grave. It seems that one clergyman, of Onderdonk notoriety, had furnished the soul of deceased with his trans- migrating passports to “kingdom come ;” but, as usual upon such occasions, the Chaplain of the Odd Fellows, who is a most worthy disciple of the im- mersing order, was expected to go through the usu- al ceremenies. This the Episcopalian would by no means sutfer—protesting that any further rites were an insult to the potency of the absolution which had been administered through his Ray The Episcopalian had attended at the bedside of the de- parted—no prayer for his recovery had been offered up—the oil of consolation had been poured into the bleeding bosom of a bereaved parent. But the Odd Fellows nursed him, administered to his minutest want, soothed his dying moments with the sweet consolations of the bleeding merits of our Savior, closed his eyes in death—but I forbear. ‘There are more saints on earth, Bennett, who have a good portion of fire and brimstone in store for them, in the land of spirits, than is dreamed of in your phi losophy.

Whoever named the beautiful island upon which this gem of a town has a ‘‘a local habitation,” the “Eden of America” need not to have consulted for that purpose any lexicon but the scenes around, him. For certainly since man has fallen from his high estate ,and become the sooty, sin-begrimmed character which we are told he is, there is no spot in this part of the universe where he can arrive nearer a complete restoration of his ‘chartered rights,” than this very Newport. Sweating and dusty, fresh from the great metropolis whose steamin; exhalations make one sour and ill-tempered with himself and all the world, I found myself here last evening in the happiest mood imaginable, and breathing an air as pure as that which played among the tree leaves of that other Eden, “long, long ago.” Your readers, of course, know that this is an old town, and that there are many old people and things in it. One of the objects most deserving ot attention is the “old mili,” whose age and singular structure have so son deep the brains of antiqua- rians. As I was looking at it last night, and won- dering, whether it were indeed a former haunt of the spirits, a look out for the old Northmen, or in- deed nothing buta windmill, the riddle was solved, and my speculations knocked in the head by a little boy, who, in reply to my question of what it was? said, with a knowing look, “ O, that was built by the Injuns, long before the revolutionary, before anybody had any memory!” i he hotels are all fille Ue so that with difficulty I found a resting place, which at last I did at the Ocean House, where, puffing a capital segar, my brow bared to the delightful sea breeze, and occa- sionally glancing at the beautiful ladies who are promenading the piazza, Iam indicting this epistle to you. Bathing and fishing are of course the order of the day here. Carriages leave several times a day tor the beach, where a roll in the surfcan be taken that gives one new life and vigor. Fishing boats and pilots can always be obtained for those who en- joy the sport of catching bass, tauteg, &c. Here are all sorts of people, millionaires, merchants, bankers, gamblers, and loafers, all make Newport a summer resort. Among the former I notice Jacob Little, Esq.,who has idan wae gone onja Sah excursion. But hark? the gong is sounding, and must away to dinner. SararoGa Sprin July 30th, 1845. Visitors lo this Place—Sights to be Seen. We again take advantage of some leisure mo- ments in addressing-you—to give you a feint outline of what’s going on in this panorama of human ac- tion. Saratoga, it is said, is losing its character and tone asa fashionable resort for health and plea- sure. Thisisa mistake. The far-famed and health restoring waters are indeed as much er more sought after than they have been for years. Hundreds of strangers are arriving’daily, and the principal houses are filled up. There are several beautiful and accomplished belles here at present from Baltimore and New Orleans. Among the num- ber are the Misses O’D——lls, of Baltimore, and Miss W—th, of New Orleans. There are several others whose names we could not learn—but we perceive among the shining stars that dazzle the he- tnisphere of the drawing and ball rooms, the beauti- ful and highly interesting lady of Jacob Little, a broker of some notoriety from your city: There are many lounging places tu which visiters at Saratoga resort out of curiosity. Among the " e of an _ec- centric and amusing Frenchman, called Mons. Ed- uoart. Some of his likenesses are true to the life. He is a most amusiug character, and calls many to see him, to draw from his innumerable inestimable | jokes. The Indian Grove, on Prespect Mountain, 1s another place of resort. Some of the noble tribe of Senecas have here pitched their tents for the sea- son. The Indian Doctor is here, and has medicated vapor baths for the benefit of his patients, in- deed it is said he has been not a little successful in performing many cures, Hops nightly take place at the United States, and as I aut now writing, the voluptuous swell of Mr. Snyder’s Band comes echoing to my ear, awakin, all those feelings to be felt, but not to be expressed, which are incident to the mind and heart of man. bi mble at New York, orth Carolina, to-day, the Sth of August, for some further action in reference to th Commodore Downes, the President of the Court, and B, Miss Leslie, the authoress, is announced at New Haven.

In 1844 attention wes directly turned towards her exports, when it was found that three ports alone—Detroit, Mount Clemens and Menroe—sent 73,082,000 staves and heading valued at $90,000, and that Kalamazoo and St. Clair river exporten 1,200,000 feet of cheice lumber, besides square ber, shingles, &c. equivalent to $100,000.

M. on Sunday, the building in which was the kitchen of the Ocean House, was dis- covered to be on fire, and no means adequate to its ex- tinction were at hand. The alarm was immediately given, but owing to the distance of the House from the central part of the town, the fire department did not et there, although every exertion was used, until the fire had communicated to the main building, and had ob- tained so much headway that, the supply of water being entirely inadequate, the destruction of the whole was inevitable. The exertions of the department and our citizens generally. were, therefore, directed ,to save the furniture, and baggage of the strangers, and the resi- dence of George Jones, Esq. opposite the house, which was in imminent peril, the wind being to the eastward and blowing the heat and cinders ontoit. It caught fire several times, and was only saved by cover- ing it with wet Gel hte enna injury being sustained in the house by the water which penetrated it About three-fourths of the furniture in the Ocean House, and nearly all the baggage was saved. In about twe hours after the fire commenced the whole of this splen- did edifice was burnt to the ground. We have now to make the most painful part of our record. lor Gardner, Esq., one of our most h respected citizens, perished in the Mr Gardner and several other persohs were in that part of the building which ran east and west, over the dining room or saloon, the ceiling of which was suuported by iron rods attached to the roof, When the roof gave way the ceiling of the saloon fell in, drawing in also the sides of the building. A few minutes before this occured se- veral of our citizens, firding their retreat otherwise cut off, jumped from the windows on to the piazza below, without injury, except Rol Cope halle who was se: verely injured, and George Burrowg] so peverely in- jured by falling with a ladder he was ni - EP. Peckham was one of the lastwho jumped from a window, and he just previously said to Mr. Gardner, “I’m going to jump from window.” Mr. G. replied, “I’m too old to jump.” As Mr. P. jumped, he says he felt something give way in the building, and im: after he aig ted it fell in a heap together, and w: enveloped in flam After it was all reduced to ne was bro an en, ht to play upon the spot where the loss of life scourred, and the headless, mutilated re- 3 of Mr. Gardner were discovered and recognised i# watch, spectacles, and pencil found on him. The b Gcoan House was insured, we understand, for $28,000, and the furniture for $9,000, which will cover the loss. The building in which the fire originated was detached from the house, and the second floor was used as a dry- ing room, being heated by the kitchen fires. Through some defect in the chimney or flues, the fire communi- cated to the wood-work, which was, of course, highly inflammable, from its dry state. The houses of many of our citizens were thrown open for the reception of the strangers nearly three hundred in number, who were thus suddenly deprived of a shelter, and all were provided f The Artillery cor ny was called eut, kept gui over the property saved from the house sh the after- noon and night,until it was all removed to a place of safety. Services inal our churches were su ded inthe ternoon. Before it was announced our citizens would throw open their houses to receive the strangers, and while the fire was still raging, an express was sent off to Providence for a steamboat to come down and take them off.
