Foreign News. The public are on the gui vive for the arrival of the steamship Cambria, which left Liverpool on the fifth instant, and is, therefore, in her four- teenth day. There is intense anxiety to receive further intellgence from Ireland, as there can be nodoubt that either the anticipated revolution has broken out there, or will break out in a very short time. There were two or three contingencies at the Jast accounts, the occurrence of any of which, would set the whole island in a flame. When last we heard from there, we learned that the government contemplated sending an armed force | isto the mountains of Tipperary, to arrest Smith ©'Bnen, he having fled there for the purpose of: avoiding arrest. Any attempt to arrest him, situated ashe was reported to be, with fifty thou- sand men at his back, would certainly lead toa collision, and the commencement of the revoliition. ¥f, again, the government persisted in disarming the people and suppressing the clubs, war may have been declared. The next steamer will de- eide the matter. If, on the other hand, neither of these contin- gencies have occurred, the next steamer after the ne now due, will bring us intelligence of the re- sult of the State trials. If the accused patriots are convicted, the people of Ireland are pledged not to permit the government to treat them as it did Mitchel. Any attempt at rescue, therefore, would be the signal for the work of blood to begin. In whatever way we view the condition of Ire- jand, it will be seen that she presents an interest- mg aspect. (n this side of the water, much in- terest is entertained tor her fate, and strong hopes are felt that she will achieve her independence. Ovr Dirromarte Inrencovrse wirn France— Tue New Freveu Muvister.—We learn that Major Poussin, the Minister Plenipotentiary of the Republic of France, is in town, and has taken rooms at No. 2 Bond street. In the intercourse of nations, it 1s universally ad- mitted that nothing contributes more to the matin- tenance of the entente cordiale, than the appoint- ment of men of worth, integrity and honor. If the disputes that have arisen from time to time between the great powers of the world, and which have fre- quently led to the most sanguinary and protracted | ware, and the most calamitous results to the mo- ral, social, and intellectual progress of the con- | tending powers, as well as to the best interests of | humanity, be carefully scrutinized, it will be found that, in nine cases out of ten, the casus belli should be set down to the account of the pragmatical and incor petent diplomatic officials of the respective countries. It 1s of the greatest importance, there- fore, to the maintenance of amicable relations be- | tween the two couniries, that their representatives should be men of high standing and approved cha- racter, and selected in consequence of the merit of the individual, rather than the wayward favoritism of the party who may, from time to time, obtain political ascendancy. It gives us much pleasure to see that the French government have adopted this enlightened policy, and that they have sent among us, as the accre- dited agent of their government, a gentleman who fully comes up to the diplomatic standard we have been describing—Mons. Poussin—who lately ar- nived from /a grande nation, and 1s to represent the cabinet of the new republic in this country. This gentleman is no stranger to us—he was atiached to the staff of General Bertrand, with | whose name and services in this country every ; American is perfectly acquainted; and from the splendid character he gained for himself while re- nident among us in this capacity, we augur the most favorable results for the future relations be- tween the two great republics of the old and the | new werld. He speaks the English language well, and is intimately acquainted with our institutions. No better appointment could have been made, and we have no hesitation in saying that it will draw more closer, and cement more indissolubly, the en- lightened intercourse and friendly connection that have ever existed between us and la belle France. We learn that it is the intention of Major Pous- sin to visit several of the Northern cities, before hie return to Washington Sreamsmip Herwsyn will sail on Monday, at 11 o'clock, A. M., for Southampton and Bremen. She Jeaves port with flying colors, a fair cargo, a good | Kiet of passengers, and in splendid sailing order. The elegant accomm@@ations of her saloons and cabins, the acknowledged speed and well tried abilities of the noble vessel, have gained for her many ardent friends, all of whom no doubt wish her another speedy and prosperous voyage. Tne Sovrperner.—The United States mail fag will be run up to the mast head of the South- emer this merning. A letter box, or a sub-post office, has been provided on board, for the recep- tion of letters up to the moment of sailing. Tue Great Fire in Avvany —We give in another part of to-day’s paper, a full account of the dreadful conflagration in Albany, by which one- erghth part of the city, and an immense amount of property, was destroyed. The estimated loss va- ries from two to five millions of dollars, only a smal} portion of which, comparatively, was cover- ed by insurance. The loss of life was dreadful, weveral persons having been killed, and a large amumber besides being missing. It is a severe blow to Albany; but we hope she will recover it ere ‘Tie Sreamsnir Acapia—It appears that injus” tice has been done to Captain Stonegof the steam- ship Acadia, in relation to the language which he ‘was reported to have used to his passengers when he refused to allow them to proceed to Boston in the steamboat Nahant, which hailed the Acadia when she was befégged outside of Boston. A typographical errorsmade us say that he threatened to kick the passengers, in case they persevered in attempting to leave the ship and go to Boston. We intended to say, and did say, that he threatened to sink the boats ; but the types, to our surprise, put another phase on the matter, and made us say that he threatened to kick the passengers which was not the case. Captain Stone, of the Acadia, has written the following letter to us on the subject, which we publish as an act of justice to him, and for the purpose of showing that we would not iatention- ally do him injustice — To THe Epitor or te New York Henan. Sin—I was surprised at seeing in your paper of yes- terday the following statement respecting my conduct while the steamship Acadia was detained in Lynn Bay on Sunday last ;— “ Captain Stone went so far as to threaten to kick the tirst who disobeyed his orders, which caused one of the pasrengers to advise the Captain, very decided- ly, not carry out his threat ; and he did not.’” ‘The cireumstance of the detention, and my duty in connection therewith, were sufficiently unpleasant, without the addition of false reports, in exaggeration of the one or disparagement of the other; and [deem it only necessary now to deny the statement made by you above, and more particularly to deny the appli- cation of any improper or disrespectful language what- ever to my paseengers. Respectfully, your obedient servant, JAMES STONE, Boston, Aug. 17, 1848 Com. 8. 8. Acadia. Captain Stone considered himself justified in pursuing the course he did, and we believe, that as far as the landing of passengers is concerned, the captains of the steamships arriving at this port, are compelled by !aw to act in precisely the same way. The following is a copy of the law oa the subject. The twentieth section of the laws rela- ting to public health, says that :— Every master of a vessel subject to quarantine or visitation, arriving in the port of New York, who shall refuse or neglect either, 1. To proceed with and anchor his vessel MMhe place assigned for quarantine, at the time of his arrival : 2. Tosuhmit his vessel, cargo, and passengers, to the examination of the health officer, and to furnish all necessary information to enable that officer to de- termine to what length of quarantine and other regu- lations, they ought respectively to be subject : or 3. To remain with his vessel at quarantine during the period assigned for her quarantine ; and, while at quarantine, to comply with the directions and regula- tions prescribed by law, and with such as any of the officers of health, by virtue of the authority given them by law, shall prescribe in relation to his vessel, his cargo, himself, or his crew, shall be guilty of a miade- meanor, and be punished by a fine not exceeding two thousand dollars, or by imprisonment not exceeding twelve months, or by both such fine and imprison. ment. § 21. Every master of a vessel hailed by a pilot, who shal. either : 1. Give false information tosuch pilot relative to the condition of his vessel, crew, passengers, or cargo, or the health of the place or places whence he came, or rs give such information as shall be lawfully re- quired® 2. Orland any person from his vessel, or permit any person, except s pilot, to come on board his vessel, or unlade or tranship any portion of his cargo, before his vessel shall have been visited and examined by the health officer : 3. Or shall appr:ach with his vessel nearer the cit: of New York than the place of quarantine, to which she aball be directed : Shall be guilty of the like offence, and be subject to the like punishizent, Such, then, being the facts of the case, and the Jaw on the subject, we must acquit Captain Stone and the agent, of all intention to do otherwise than their duty, and respect to the laws, obliged thnm todo in the matter. Swonp Presenrations.—A magnificent sword and sash, complete, were presented, on the Ith inst., at Fort Hamilton, to Mr. John 8. Reed, by his fellow-soldiers of Co. B, 10th U. S. Infantry. This is the first testimonial ot the kind presented by this gallant regiment. The following 1s the in- scription on the sword :— of Company B, 10th U.S. Infantry, as a Testimonial of their esteem, and for his yentiemanly conduct to the men while Orderly.Sergeant of the Company. August, #848." The non-commissioned officers, musicéans, and privates of the 11th Regiment U. S. Infantry have made a similar presentation to Majer Hunter, in the following terms :— « Presented to John S. Reed, by his fellow-soldiers | Boweny Tueater.—There was a very numerous au- dience last evening, at this house, and the opera of Cinderilla, which was the first piece, went off with mveh ¢clat, The excellent manner in which the Bowe- ry company perform opera is really most remarkable ; the various chorusses, concerted pieces,and recitatives are not only given with precision and taste, but tike- wise with much correctness, and were applauded high- ly, as they deserved. Mr. Stevens's Baron Pompotino Was a most amusing piece of acting, and his buffo singing was capital. Mr. Stevens proves himself to be & mort versatile and judicious actor, What shall we fay of Miss Taylor,the falr Canderella of the evening ? She sung most charmingly. We were particalarly pleased with the execution of the duett, ‘ Whence this soft and pleasing flame,” with Mr, Dunn, in the firstact ; both Miss Taylor aud Mr. D. acquitted them- selves adwirably in it,asin all the music ot their parts, Mr. Warden made a very amusing Dandini, that prinew o Jets; his assumption of all the princely airs to which his boyowed Ratios entitled him, were very clever. In fact, the opera was very handsomely per- formed. and the greatest satisfaction was evinced by the audience. The ballet and dancing went off well, rious parts were wellsustained, Miss Purn- d the corps de ballet. were very much applauded.ae» To-night, the opera of Cinderella will be repeated ; dancing by Miss ‘Turnbull and Mr. Smith, and the very interesting drama of the “Waistles "will form the bill of entertainment. The liberal patron age which the Bowery is enjoying now, will no doubt be continued, as the managers are determined to keep up acontinual run of novelties, Next week the new opera of “ Midas” will be produced, with new scenery, &c. Miss Taylor will appear as Apollo. Ninzo’s, Aston Piace.—The entertainment of last evening began with the vaudeville, called a “ Kiss in the Dark, which was played with great entrain, and elicited much laughter. But the capital feature of the evening’s performances was the American comedy of “ The Kentuckian; or, a trip to New York in 1816,? in which Mr Hackett. the popular comedian, appeared to great advantage. We, need not enlogive this ac- tor whose talent is so well known to our readers; we may only say that, last night he displayed in those three acts, a8 much fire, ability and: expression, as necessary to make effect in # comedy of Shakepeare or Sheridan Knowles, The character of Col. Nimrod Wildfire seems to be incorporated with its deli and Mr. Hackett, for whom the play was original written, has, indeed, no rival in the style in whic: heacts his part. Maeder, and the ever-smiling Miss Roberts, de: valeo much credit. The whole concluded with the laughable farce of “His Last Lege, or Experimentein Mesmerism,” which was re- ceived amidst bursts of laughter. Mr. Vandenhoff ap- pears this evening in Shakspeare’s comedy of “ Kath- erine and Petruchio,” which willbe preceded by the comedy of “ Faint Heart Never Won Kair Lady,” and followed by the farce of “Confounded Foreigners,”” We fmay bespeak an excellent house at the fine re- sort of John Niblo, for he deserves to be encourged, as being one of the most enterprising managers of New York. Cnaxrrav’s Nationa Tuvarne.—This beautiful theatre was again crowded last evening, attracted, no doubt, by the sterling talent which tae proprietor has engaged, in order that his patrons should have no reason to say that he was behind the age im suiting the taste and refinement of the people. The first piece was the farce of “ Swiss Swains,”’ in which the inimi- table comedian, Mr. C. Burke, kept the house in roars of laughter. This gentleman is a great acquisition to the National, and will be sure to draw large houses,— The part of Rosette, by Miss Mestayer, was ably sus- tained, and the ballads she introduced were rendered with great sweetness and taste. This piece was suc- ceeded by the musical drama of “ Don Cwsar de Ba- zan;”’ and it is needless to. Don Cwsar, in the hands of J. R. Scott, was an exquisite personation. With Burke and Scott alone, to say nothing of the strong stock company snasied there, we should not be sur- ised to see the house crowded every night. Miss Carline danced “La Smoelenska’”’ with great grace and elegance of style. The performances concluded with the comedy ot “ Nature and Philosophy,” which ‘was sustained throughout with great éclat; and the audience separa‘ed. highly pleased with their visit to this neat, comfortable theatre. Bunton’s Turatne.—*Dombey and Son,” and “Va- Jentine and Orson,” was the bill last evening at this house, and a large audience was assembled. This ver- sion of Dombey and Son is, we think, one of the best adaptations which has been produced in New York, It follows the novel as closely as stage effect will allow, and the various prominent scenes are brought forward without endeavoring to crowd too much on. The eha- racters, too, are excellently sustained; Burton’s Capt. Cuttle is one of the most natural pieces of acting we have ever seen. The famous scene where he tenders the “valuables” to the stiff Mr. Dombey, as security tor the money lent to Walter, shows the Captain in ail his glory; the musing gossiping style in which he soli loguises on Jack Bunsby’s excelleaces, is really admir- able. Raymond's Mr. Toots is a perfect representa- tion of Dickens's Toots; Mr.Raymond isa young acto-, but the very admirable ‘manner in which he has per- formed this part bas given him a great reputation a!- ready. Nickinson’s Dombey, Brougham’s Joey B. and Bunsby, Mra. Vernon, Miss Nickinson, and the other performers, ail act admirably; and we recommend all who wish to see “Dombey and Son’ admirably acted, to go to Burton’s Theatre the first evening that it is performed. The amusing burlesque of “Valentine and Orson” concluded the evening's entertainments, | To-nighta fine bill will be played, as will be seen by referring to our list of amusements. Mason, Hester: Sin—In behalf of the non-commissioned officers, musicians, and privates of the 11th Regiment U. § Infantry, J have the honor of presenting you with this sword, asa token of the very high esteem and respect they entertflin for you, while serving under your com- mand in the late war between the United States and the republic of Mexico. LAFAYETTE SEAREY, Serg’t Major 11th Infantry. | REPLY. Sin—When I say I thank you and those you repre- sent, in the sincerity of my heart, I but faintly ex- press the deep sense of gratitude I feel for this evidence of your good opinion and regard. When | iook back, and reflect over the scenes of hardship and danger in which we in common parti- cipated, within the last sixteen mouths—the difficult and responsible position in which the fate of war had placed me, owing to the untimely death of our gallant and much beloved Lieutenant Colonel William M. Graham—the promptitude and soldierlike zeal with which every order was obeyed, every difficulty and danger braved, by the noble bani! of heroes I had | the honor to command—such reflections will ever re- | main « theme of the most thrilling interest to me ; and this renewed evidence of your regard and good feeling shall remain on the tablets of my memory as bright as is this beautiful blade with which I have this day been honored. : Gladiy, then, will I promise never to draw it in an unjust cause, never suffer it to be crimsoned with the blush of disgrace in my hands. ena ee t with it only with my life. JOHN F,. HUNTER, Major 11th Infantry | Later rrom Havaya ann Sovri AMERICAM— We are in receipt of files of the Furo Industrial to the 4th inst., two days later than previous ac- counts. We do not, however, find anything of interest in these papers, Nothing, of course, of the political condition of the island néed be ex- pected in them, as the censorship of the press is so strict that nothing is allowed to be published that has the slightest reference to affairs of state. The local items, likewise, are devoid of interest. The Italian opera seems to be entirely suspended for the present, though we see it stated that Bottesini and Arditi are to form part of the company that is to sing there in a few weeks hence. What com- pany this is, however, 1s not mentioned. The news from Yucatan is not so late as that already received here. There has been a singular quietude of late in regard to affairs in that coun- try; but as, at the last accounts, the whites had turned the tables on the ferocious Indians, and were thrashing them soundly, it is to be hoped that, having once dispelled the idea of the invin- cibility of the savage foe, they will go on, and re- conquer their territory. From New Grenadi so, accounts had becn received at Havana—dates not mentioned. ‘Che nature of the news, however, is the same as that lately received here, viz., that the question of the Presidency 1s the topic of excitement at present in that republic; the candidates for which office are numerous—among them Hilario Soper, Florentino Gonzalez, Ospina, Gosi, &c. By way of New Grenada they learn that in the Ecuador the feeling is against the family of Ge- neral Flores. Honpvras.—The brig Marian Gage, Capt. Read, which arnved yesterday, brings us files of the Be- lize Observer, to the 22d ult. The latest accounts by this vessel are to the Istfinst. Business trans- actions were reported few, and of little importance. The Legislature was in session, and a bill im- peaching Judge Temple, and other associate Indges, for a violation of some of the laws, had passed that body. A purse of $200, was presented to Mr. Fitzgib” bon, editor of the Observer, being the amount con- tributed by the inhabitants of Belize, with a view of repaying him for losses sustained in a recent law suit. It was reported at Pelize, that 100 Indians had been poisoned in the Rio Hondo, the truth of which was doubted. No news from Guatemala. Sr, Doxxe@o.—On the Sth of this month, peace reigned throughout the island. Capt, Cousins, of the brig Peruvian, left Port au Platte on that day, ond reports al! quiet, | tion to the usual evening one. This they will do, and AWFUL CONFLAGRATION IN ALBANY. SEVERAL LIVES LOST. Several Millions of Dollars’ ‘Worth of Property Destroyed, SIX HUNDRED BUILDINGS BURNT, Ben, den, de. The Albany papers are filled with accounts of the disastrous conflagration which took place in that city on the lithinst. We are indebted to Capt. Gorham of the steamboat Hendrik Hudson, for Albany papers, delivered at an early hour on Friday aftrnoon, The Albany Express gives the foilowing account of tae dis- aster :— ‘We careely know how to describe the fearful cala- mity that has befallen our doomed city. Ia is beyond adequate degeripticn—beyond, at the time we write, intelligible detail. Soon after a fire was checked that broke out in Quackenbush street, just before nooa, the alarm was again sounded, and fire broke out in a small stable adjoining the Albion House, between Broadway and the Pier, on Herkimer street, and occu- pled by John G. White.- Of its origin we know nothing ; but it burst forth at a most unlucky mo- ment, The Fire Department was weary, scattered, and disorganized. Some of the machines were dis- abied, and, in conrequence of a shameful fight, one of them~ No. 9, we believe—was lodged in the City Hall yard, and unmanned, fn the moment of danger. The heat was intense, the mercury ranging at 01 in the shade, the city dry as tinder, in conyequence of the drovght, and a gale of wind blowing from the south. Every thing conspired against us ; and the destroyin, clement immediately getting the upper hand, raged fully and unchecked for hours, sweeping away full six hundred buildings, many of them new, and of great value, dertroying about two millions of dollars worth of property, and rendering hundreds of fami- lies bouseless and homeless! Truly, this calamity is an awful onc—but God be raised that it is no worse! Atone time it seemed as if the destruction of our fair city was inevitable. The wind blew fiercely, the flames spread on all sides, the devouring element advanced from block to block and from street to street, buildings were taking fire in veral parts of the city—all was terror, cunfusion, and dismay. and the efforts of man seemed utterly owerless. At this fearful moment the wind lulled, eavy cloudsrose in the north-west, and a deluge of rain—grateful, needed, God-sent tain—poured from the sureharged clouds, ‘and checked the progress of the conflagration. ‘Amid the roar, darkness, lightning and thunder of the storm, glared the red flames and rolled the vast columns of smoke ; while occassionally the shock of a building blown up with gunpowder, added to the ter- ror and sublimity of the indescribable scene, The fury and rpread of the flames exceeded anything ever seen. The fire ran, leaped, flew. from building to build- Ing, with the speed of the hurricane that bore it on in its course of destruction. And as it advanced, and grew more and more threatening, the bells re-sounded the alarm. and the people looked on with terror and al- most with despair, There were many narrow escapes from death, and some serious personal injuries sus- tained ; among the latter, Wm. Johnson, his wife and daughter, were badly burnt while escaping from their dwelling, 53 Liberty street, Albany has never before, in her 200 year's history, suffered so dreadful a local calimity as this. ‘The first block burnt was bounded by Herkimer st., Broadway. Bleecker st. and the dock. The fire then went up the Dock and the east side of Broadway near'y to Hudson st., and up the west side of Broadway quite to Hudson st. It passed up Hudson st. to the Park, burnt both sides of Liberty and Church sts. down to Lydius st., went up Lydius to Union st.,amd up the east side of Union back to Hudson st. Park. Over this large district every building is consumed, except Ha- gaman & Cowell’s four story brick, corner of Broadway and the new steamboat randleg ; Bortle’s new three story brick Fate store, west side of Broadway, and adjoining the district burnt in June; J. K. Wing's four story brick store, corner of Dock and new steam. boat landing; Cagger’s new three story brick build- ings, running from the Dock to Broadway, and occu- pied in part by Tweddle & Darlington, All the rest are down, including the Fort Orange Hotel, Cowell’s eating house, Quinn’stavern and boarding-house, the United States House, the Eagle tavern, a German boardiog house, the Townsend House, the Odeon, many small boarding houses, &., and an immense number of stores. The fire crossed and burnt the Hamilton street bridge. {and set on fire Dow’s West- ern Hotel—the first building on the Pier. From this point, every building on the Pier, up to and across State st., and thence to the cut at the foot of Maiden lane, was destroyed, including emigrant hotels, tor- warding houses, groceries, steamboat, canal boat, and freighting line offices, and all the floating craft in the Basin, including 50 to 60 canal and lake boats, 15 to 20 large tow boats, some sail vessels, and the steam- boat William Laepoveed Burning vessels floated against the Columbia street bridge and set iton fire. Thence the fire was com- municated to the Columbia street Market, which was burned, together with a number of dwellings in the vicinit The exact bounds of the district burnt in this quarter we have not been able to obtain. Vessels of all kinds on the outside of the pier floated out of harm’s way. The loss of household goods of all kinds is immense, Great quantities that were strewed in the streets were ruined by the rain. Carts, wagons, drays—everything on wheels—were Castie Ganpex.—The concerts ala Musard given every evening, at this favorite and health-giving loca- tion, are attracting large audiences, We are not sur- prised at this, for when it is considered how low the price of admission—only twenty-five cents—to hear some of the sweetest, and most soul-stirring, favorite airs, played with the utmost musical science, and also to enjoy a view of and mountain scenery, the most picturerque and beautiful in the world, surely it ought to be crowded every evening. Where can one enjoy nimself with more pleasure than within the walls of this magnificent amphitheatre. Every thing to be de- sired, of either mental or bodily nourishment, can here be received; and who is there that can assert he has not enjoyed the extreme of luxury while seated on the baleony, and puffing away, dull care, ina light, well- flavored Havana. It is almost superfluous to speak of the rare advantages, which a visit to this cool and re- freshing resort bestows. We say toall, go there, and judge fir yourselves. Ice creams in erery variety, and every other refreshment, which are served up in the first style. Camrneit’s Mixstres have shot rapidly ahead in public favor, and so well have their performances du- ting the part week been received, that they have been requested togive an afternoon concert to-day, in addi. they afford many families. who cannot go out at night, | an ‘opportunity of hearing them. They are really most excellent singers, and the various bands must look to their laurels, or Campbell's will bear off the palm. They are as good musicians as they are singers, and, besides all this, they are fellows of infinite wit, Tue Payonama or Genenat Tayion’s Mexican cam- paign is attracting bundreds of visiters. The battle’ of Palo Alto, Resaca dela Palma, Buena Vista, the en- campment at Walnut Springs—in fact, all the places which were so famous during this memcrable cam- paign, are” depicted with the greatest accuracy—be- sides a spirited view of all the skirmishes, encounters, incidents, &o., that attend the march of a large army Pr? this one. {t is altogether a most interesting exhi- ition. Baxvann’s Dounte Paxonama of the Missourl and Mitsissippi, is as great a favorite with the public as ever. The term of itsexhibition is drawing to a close, and those who have not yet visited this most original and excellent painting, ought not4o omit doing so at oP i To-day it w.ll be exhibited twice, vig: at Sand Hanineton’s Sacrep Dionssas.—These beautiful dioraimas are as great curiosities as there are im the city ; the idea is quite an original one, and the carry ing of it out has beena favorite project with the artist for many years past. The reception they have met with, shows that his efforts are duly appreciated by the pubic, We recommend this exhibition highly to strang in town, a3 @ inmost interesting wud iustrug- tive one, Mexopxon.—At this snug house, the concerts of the Virginia Serenaders are every evening attended by numerous and respectable audiences, Every thing is conducted with the greatest order, and it is truly a most delightful place of resort. Mr. Marshall, the tragedian, and C, W. Clarke, are playing to crowded houses in Boston. The Italian opera of “Il Barbiere di Siviglia,’ was performed at the Walnut street Theatre, Philadelphia, on Monday night, was beertily received and unanimous, ly applauded = The North American eays:—The per- formers came to their task with those evident feelings of confidence and enthusiasm, which are in all cases the best guarantee of success, The audience, which was for the season very large, were put in good humor atonce, by the unexpected cahbre of the company, and followed with a delight which frequently grew in- tense, * * * The finale of the first act was given in a manner never surpassed, if equalled, in Philadel- phia. We have never listened toa better drilled, or, for its numbers, a more efficient chorus. The Doctor Bartolo of Sanquirico. the Figaro of Rossi Corsi, and | the Count of Almaviva of Vietti, were really high | achievements of dramatic, as well as operatic, art— and need not shrink from/criticism. Signora Lietti Rossi sang the music of Rosina with much feeling and taste. and has only to become more acquainted with the stage to make a very agrevable performer.

The authorities, the fire department, and the citizens were seattered, isolated, and acted too much without con- cert. Still, much was done. Almost superhuman personal efforts wero put forth, and thousands of clti- zens worked with all their might. Our firemen, under the circumstances, did all they could. We received timely and invaluable aid from East and West Troy, Greenbush, and Schenectady. Numbers of persons were rendered powerless by heat, fatigue and cold water. Buildings, sheds, ke, took fire repeatedly, a8 far north as Wilson and Lumber streets, The whole city was in danger. M.J.Smith’s Free Soil Banner office, and James Duffy's job printing office, were burnt, At one time the offices of the Jilas, Knickerbocker, and Express, 23 well ae Van Benthuysen’s and Mun: rell’s extensive printing establishments, were threa- tened with destruction. Thousands of citizeas packed up their goods, niture, &., and the stores were everywhere closed. A number of buildings were blown up, under the direction of the authorities, in the vicinity of ITudson street. I impossible, at the time we write, to get at any correct estimate of the loss sustained, or the condition of the insurance companies. Our Albany companies have suffered terribly. Individual losses must be very great, and there will be much distress and suffering. It will be a long time before Albany will recover from this awful e H Seventeen whole blocks, the-pier, the Col market, two bridges, and near one hundred boats, a.e destroyed. Most of the boats were heavily laden. - We regret to learn that several lives have been lost. ‘Two men were drowned in the Basin, near the foot of Maiden lane. They were floating on a raft, and in the midst of conflagration, fell off and sunk. The owner of the steamboat William Seymour, Benjamin Wakeman, is missing A man named Hardely, an Irishmen, died from over exertion. A man named Johnson, and several others, are missing. Some 8000 or 10,000 barrels of flour, were burnt on the pier. The loss of property in the Basin was im- mense. The loss is roughly estimated at two millions of dollars. We fear our local insurance companies are overwhelmed. The property on the a was insured abroad.

Four buildings were blown up with powder. ‘At midnight the fire was burning in forty places, but it is completely under control. There is no wind, and the rain has ceased.

The Isaac Newton and Rip Van Winkle steamers were also rescued, with much dif- fieulty. The conflagration of the Pier, so utterly sweeping, Was as rapid as it was unexpected. It was supposed to be safe, owing to the intervening Basin. its only dan- er was from the flying cinders ; and every store had fo Ieox-ous and ite beokets. When all danger was supposed to have passed, a spark caught under a clap- board on the cast or river side of the Pier, andin a few moments the flames were beyond all control; and throughout the entire length of the Pier, such was the rush of the flames, that many of the merchants, cut off | from escape the Busin side, abandoniog all hope of saving property. hastily threw their books and valn- able papers into beats, and put out into the The rcofs everywhere, throughout the city, were onged with occupants, anxiously guarding their property from the talling cinders.

These contracts will expire in one year from date, and thore who hold them should beat once compelled to begin the work, From the time of the passage of the ordinance, the streets wero almost entirely neglected; and the filth which has been accumulating ever since, leaves them in a more miserably dirty condition than before, Gar- bage, ashes, and almost everything else, now fill the streets, which is not only a violation of law, but shows a great want of cleanliness on the part of those who suffer it to be done, In the eighth ward, the alderman gave the contractors notice to go to work at once; and already the upper part of that ward begins to assume an entirely different aspect. Let the alderman of each ward go to work in the same way, and depend upon it, the streets will soon present a different appearance, Large heaps of flith will not be found at every corner, and coal ashes thrown into the middle of the streets Cass axp Butien Mertinc.—The Cass and Butler mass meeting, advertised to take place last evening on the Battery, was, on account of the wetness of the weather, postponed to Monday evening next, at the same time and place.

Summary of the Latest Intelligence, Further particulars of the great fire in Albany, received by telegraph last night, will be found m connection with the accounts derived from Albany papers, inanother column. The total number of buildings destroyed 1s stated to 439—together with schooners, towboats, canal boats, and other small vessels lying in the Basin, many of them loaded, not only with ordinary freight, but property that had been once rescued from the fire. The loss of property 18 variously estimated—from two to five millions of dollars. The msurance compames of Albany, New York, Hartford, and other cities, will sufler heavily. The amount of insurance, so far as ascertained, 1s about $570,000, which sum will be considerably increased, no doubt, when full in- formation is obtained. During the progress of the fire, several lives were lost—it is not known how many—but there are fifteen or twenty persons missing. By telegraphic despateh from New Urleans, we have further advices from Mexico and Yucatan.— The exertions of the Mexican government to sup- press the insurrection got up by Gen.
