W i: have to announce to our readers the me lancholy fact, that our ill-fated town has been visited by another conflagra tion, almost as serious as either of lhoe that immediately preceded it, and which it has been our piinful du ty to make known within the last three weeks I Between twelve and one o'clock on Sunday morning, our citizens were a roused from their slumbers by the appalling cry of lire. We immedi ately discovered, on looking out, the vicinage of the fire to our own estab lishment, and the destructive conse quences that would result from it, unless every exertion was made to ar rest its progress. The flames broke out in a stable in the rear of Old st. adjacent to a number of wooden build ings, and to such a height had they ascended before the alarm was given, that no hope was entertained of saviug any of the frame houses, from the east side of Baird's alley, to the west side of the alley in the rear of Syca more st. amounting altotegher to be tween lwent)-tiv and thirty, princi pally small buildings aud ofVbut little value. Nothing but the most extroor.dina rj exertim.s ot the fire companies sav ed an incalculable amount of property from, destruction. Their first efforts were dirrcted to Mrs. Nash's large trame residence, w huh was.ou fue before the engines could commence active operations; but a flood of wa tit the UKMihishnicnt of evtry body, the fire was put out, without materi ally damsgiug tbe house1.

It w is shewn on the ground, by a letter from Mr. Swann, the President of the Branch Bank of (he United States at Washington, that eighteen thou sand dollars of the debts due thatBank Sc B ink of Columbia had been paid by the sale of a small part of his Moun tain tract (JO 3 acres) and that the ba lance due (twenty thousand dollars) was secured by the mortgage of the residue of that tract, consisting of two thousand eight - hundred acres, w hich is considerably more than am ple security for it, provided the sale is nut fixed and the land sacrificed. It appears by that letter, that the Bank was not disposed to push the sale by the sacrifice of the property, and that full power was given to Mr. Monroe to delay it, until a more fa vorable season. It is said that 'he money allowed by Congress on ac count of his claims, has been applied to the payment of his debts, to other bauks in the District of Columbia, in this State, and to individuals there and elsewhere. Of tho amount of bis other remaining debts we are ignorant but we indulge a strong hope, that If he can sell hit Valuable estate here, at a fair price, he may save his Lou don property, and have, by means thereof, a comfortable provision for his family. The interest in the mean time, is a consuming fire, which, as our crops are short, and our produce sells, at a low price, may create em lMrrasinent, but we hope for a favour able change for us all." ie solar; Of . know ins: tb.it of my unfortunate brother, was really knwn to, and duly considered by you, sir: and that 1 may hereafter re flect, that my bumble voice was heard for. mercy by you, right honorable Sir.

It is almost unnecessary fo say, that Mr. Peel, with that humanity for which he is so distinguished, gave the poor girl an interview, and pro-; mised not only to present her petition to the king, but to make enquiries in to her brother's case, and if there were eircutmtancs in his favour, be would recommend a commutation of his sentence The youth is now on board the Dolphin, at Chatham, and the affectionate sister waits in town for Mr. Peel's decision. 7Curk for wens. The following extraordinary fact has lately come to our knowledge,; A planter in the vi cinity of Raleigh, North Carolina, had been for some years afijicted with a wen on his neck, which grew so large as to be very inconvenient and distressing.'
