BOSTON,
'FIR K.
Theinhabitantsof Boston, who seem
destined to -be continual spectators of
the ruin of the property of their fel-lovr-titizens
by fire, were on Saturday
evening summoned to witness, two
successive conflagrations, in different
' parts of the town, of a very alarming
aspect. About 7 o'clock a fire. was
. discovered in she. Museum of Mr.
Bpwen, near the common, which, not-
' withstanding the most vigorous exer
' Jlo'ns, entirely consumed that, and all
the 'adjacent wooden buildings, the
property of Mr, Thomas .Bunistead ;
among which were theboardinghouse
of Mrs. PnJLitvl. tliMTno,.., s- vr

uuyia, uie u weuing nouse ot Mr
Bumstaad, and th shop'of Othello

Mr. Bovven's Valuable and interesting
collection were rescued. In five .mi
nutes after the 'fire was discovered,
the flames. hud a complete ascendency

tinguishing element, TheUrick buil
ding formerly occupied by the Mas
luchusetts Bank, on the southl and a
new briefc stable1 on the east, seemed
the only effectual barriers to the pro-
