Finms.—There were two alarms of fire last night—ono for the Seventh and one for the Eighth district. That of the Seventh was a false alarm, the other was occa. sioned by a window curtain taking fire, in the dwelling- house No. 20934-Broadway. It was extinguished before much damage was done. ‘These alarms were given in quick succession, and call- ing out almost the entire department.

FLOOD OF ALBANY—INUNDATION OF THE BUILDINGS ON THE DOCK—DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY. From the ao March 11. The ice in the river, in front of the city, made another move last night, but stopped opposite the steamboat landing, leav the river clear from the cut to that place. From that time the water continued to rise rapidly during the night; and at day break the ice dam formed at the nail works gave way, and in coming down forced all before it. Its progress was again checked by the barricade formed at Castleton, where the ice dammed on the breaking up of the river last winter. From about amile below this city to Castleton the river is covered with a massive barrier of ice, forced together by the heavy pressure of the current in the river, runningas rapidly as a mill stream. me damage was done to property along the line of the river by the ice, but it is not so great as it would have been had it gone out when it was more formidable. The rain had weakened the ice so much as to make it spungy and rotten. On the Boston t dock ice is piled to the height of some six or eight feet, but there no was done. On the upper pier it is also piled up several feet without doing any damage. Below the cut the ice penetrated into the row of brick warehouses, occupied by the Canal Line of towboats, L. 8, Littlejohn, Godard & Hovey and others, demolis! the front wall of one and part of another, which cai the roof to fall in, and doing considerable amount of damage. Other property may have been destroyed, but the high water and strong freshet prevent our inspection of the premises. ‘The moment the ice dammed up below, the river com- menced rising rapidly, averaging two inches an hour. ‘The whole lower part of the city is inundated, flooding all the stores on the dock and pier, together with some of the buildings on the cross streets and the cellars of all the buildings in South Broadway, Church street and the cross streets between them. At 10 o’clock this morning the river is still rising, and at that hour the water was within a few inches of being on tho flag-stone on the west side of Broadway, opposite the steamboat landing. The ferry boats are ail running, but the high water prevents the transportation of merchandise to or from the railroad depots at East any ‘About 11 o'clock tie ice barrier below broke away, and in the short space of twenty minutes the river fell over a foot. Since then a reaction has taken place, and the water at noon was rising slowly. The Maryland Legislatare. Ug) the Bultimore Sun, March 11.) The session of the General Assembly of Maryland ex- pired at 12 o'clock last night, by constitutional limita- tion. Av numerous show of bilis have been passed, but among them few that are of general importance to the people at large. One that partakes as much of this character as me rear perhaps, is that abolishing the long combatted State inspection system, by which nu merous offices were maintained for politleat ‘awards, and which were often made, as & co! uence, to men wholly incompetent, or at least in no wise adepts in the different and particular branches of which they took cha: While, however, the probibitory liquor bill entirely failed, we perceive that a bill on the subject of regu- lating the liquor license has just now been acted on. It originated in the Senate, and ‘passed that body, and was yesterday also passed in the House, but being somewhat ‘amended in that body, has had to go back to the Senate. It will probably, however, become a law. By its pro- visions a license can only'be obtained to open a public house and retail liquor on the recommendation of | twenty respectable residents of « neighborhood, and there ore other restrictions to prevent the abuse of the privi- lege, no liquor being allowed to be sold to minors, &c. Somewhat similar laws prevail elsewhere, and in the Dis- trict of Columbia, we believe. Those who know of the workings there may judge for themselves of the effects likely to result from such a law here. The Port Deposite and Pennsylvania State Line Rail- road, and the bat to legalize dissections, were rejected by the House—so the doctors have yet to cure sick folks and mend broken limbs without due facilities for learning how. There was still a disagreement between the houses on the State Chemist and Guano inspection bill, causing {hem also to “hang fire’ on the general appropriation which incl: ‘8 $16,000 appropriation for the salary of an assistant chemist and for a laboratory, should they be authorized. | Asa matter of particular (local) interest to this city, ft will be seen that Mr. Barnes, from the committee to _ Jan 21 BvyBtton sa" ar fests 5, lon mA from Bermade for Cape Haztien, om '50—by an arrival from Baltimore for Cayenne, Feb 19, White, hence for Baracoa, March 2,7 Bonita, hence for Humacoa, Feb 26, lat 2558, lon : Ports. {ANT Wanr—In port Feb Meck brig Pandors, for Ampnossan—In port Feb 24, Br barks Syphax, C: sy Careline C Dow, Bianchi coal for Havana and sail, ‘and faithless power, that, over- }) dares to attack us on our 1] atin violation of the cherished national for Boston ldg; A: Canpirr—Arr Feb 63 hours from Havre ‘Ast inst. chosen hoe:.: s, would place f | the right e :uffr them to a : i. vehol institutte. @nd free labor. 1 the solemnity of becoming a vith the future of an exter pire, tain our rights, this crime ted—that, despite corruption, bri- heart of our continent, itchinson, Portland; shall not be cons . 1 mat forever cont : efree.
