Of course the appalling intelligence of the re ceut disastrous 'fires in San E rancisco and Stock ton produced a great sensation in Wall Street. We have too much at stake in San Francisco to hear such news with perfect equanimity; but there ia no use in crying over spilt milk, or in' being "cross" as too many in this neighborhood were a their losses. Quite a number of merchants here were badly ' schorchvd" by the burning of "ven tir(rs" which they had sent to Sau Francisco n consignment. One home here is very sour over the loss of 10,000 gallons of vinegar, wit h which, it appearsthe consignee flooded his store to pre serve it from conflagration a bl ight idea and en tirely successful. But now, the vinegar, if on hand again, vjould bring a rousing price, being scarce. It is not unlikely th.it the California fires will lead to several failures in this City, and will he folt more or less at various other prominent points .throughout the United States. "But it is an ill rwind that blows nobody any good," aud the buil ding mechanics in San Francisco, aro now earn ing ten dollars. A correspondent of mine who had been toiling in the mountains of Sierra Ne" vada for neatly two years past with little success notliwithstandiog bis regular and economical hab its, and coins down to San Francisco, with scarce ly enough of the dust to pay his passage hoiua, when the recent fire came near finbshiyg the little he had, and himself too. But the catastrophe brought his services into great demand. He had been in Boston a master mason, by trade, aud Messrs. Adams it Co. enlis ted him to superintend tho removal of the smo king ruins of their formar premises, and act as the daily surveyer of the materials and construc tion fif the extensive and substantial Fire Proof building, which they have had erected upon the it of their nli office. His compensation for tin unexpected job (ho writes me) will b' liberal, and it, will pro'xibly yield him as much as he would make in a whole y-ar at hou,e. v I saw in Adams aud Go's. oGoe, to day a char ming specimen, or ''preat gob" of gold ore, en tirely free from quartz or other alloy, and weigh ing 37 oz and 10 rlwts. Its valui ia about $"00. The California Gold Dust department iu Ad- J ams & Co's. New fork office looks like a banking house. Argenti, styled in the 9fn Francisco papers the Prince of Bankers, was very fortunate in savihg his building t'iom the flames, It was fire proof, and cost him a large, sum, but not so much but what the rent of it for three years would defray the whole expenditure. That portion of-the buil ding not wti by himself he rented to others for $4,500 per month ! and now he probably obtains double that rent. Enoch Train, Eq., the owner of the brag Ships of Boston had a quantity of lumber in San Fran cisco at the time of the firepreviously valueless, but since sold for $70 a thousand, by wl ich he has netted 10,000, and received the first remit tance to-daj. I know of a concern ia. San Fran cisco, who had an immense stock on hand which might have swamped them had it not been fur the late fire, but the same catastrophe which has beg gared others has doubled the value of their goods. Among all the California adventurars, none of them have been more successful and desti-vingof notice than those which went from New London, New Bedford and Nantucke:. The very amiable three pound lump, before alluded to, was destin ed for one or the other of the above namod places. I learn, as I write, that the U. 8. mail steamship Cherokee, from New Orleans, Havana and Cha fes is juU coming up the harbor, having made tbo voyage from New Orleans in 8 days. The summer U upon us now in earnest, and I sympathize for our friends in New Orleans who can't get away. I remember it was so hot at this season some years ago that the most of the ink on the newspapers would usually transfer itself to the hands ot, the readers, and on one occasion a gentleman, arrayed for coolness n a jacket and white pantaloons, chancing, to sit down upon a co py of the 'Bulletin,' greatly edified the specta tors by rising with a fat timik of steamer Vig nette's cotton tale advertisements, etc, upon the eat of his "Bloomers." ' A man named JohnRcojly, look a singular meth od of suicide yesterday.

A farewell festival to George Thompson,, the English abolitionist, was given to him,. on Mon day evening, by his Boston, friends, tickets 60 cts. a head. Mr. Thompson replied to a laudation which he received from Mr. Garrison; saii that fkull bad been ound' with bis language; 6 ou reviewing It, b had nothing to take back of what he had said in relation to this country and its In habitants. He thought as a people our politida were totten to 'the core.-' He would admit that when hi language bad been severest It bad been most premeditated, and ha tad not yet found the language which tutted bim, became ho could, not find language strong enough to express hii-feeW toga.

Such are the circumstan ces as we have been enabled to learu thorn, of this truly calamitous affair. Gen. W's. son was about 14, and the other boy somewhat younger. MORE OF THE DOHERTY CASE. The excitement in the caso of Rev. J. J. Do herty, the alleged seducer of Miss Monaglmn, at Springfield, Mass., remains unabated. A great meeting of the Catholics was held on Monday eveuing, to take measures to procure from the Bishop of tho diocese Mr. Poverty's expulsion from the pastoral office, or at least a removal from the pastoral relation to the church in that town. The friends of Doherty attempted to create a disturbance, but a leader was promptly arrested by the police, and taken to prison, after which the meetjng was more quiet. Resolutions were passvd, condemning as false, a statement of the case which was made to tho society by Mr. Do herty the day,beforo, and asking liis expulsion by ,tbe Bishop. A committee of six was appointed to proceed to Boston, to w;ut upon the Bishop for that purpose. The suit in Court had been withdrawn, by the defendant's paying 51,600 in cash and securities to the plaintiff and bis daughter. IRON HOUSES AND ROMAN CEMENT. The San Francisco Herald says that, at the re cent file in that city, tho articles of iron-houses and Roman cement proved utterly useless as a protection against fire. The iron buildings were found to be any thing else than fire-proof, and the ceiueut crumbled away iu the brick walls, which yielded to the Ore, so as to prove it utterly un reliable when exposed to heat. Boston, June 20. 10, P. M. The Lind Concert at the Treniout Temple to night is attended by a most brilliant audience.

FURTHER FROM. CALIFORNIA.. The following account'of the fire in Stocktonis from the Alta Californian of the 15th of May. ( " We have a Journal extra, giving an account of a most destructive firo at Stockton on the 7th , inst. The following extract gives an idea of the extent pfjthtisad calamity., ii:.-.... The" fire originated In a hew and beautiful liooso just opened under the namo of the Mer chants' lloteL formerly Vnow.a fta the 5inRhfca.l beyond a doubt waa the work of an incendiary. It V supposed, that some miscreant intended by this diabolical means, to succeed in releasing tho prisoner now confined in the county jail j but tho purpose failed ty Jt accomplishment as the wind proved anpropitious, and tamed the eoirse of the devastating element upon more precious and costly fool to satisfy its long slumbering rage. From the Pont othich it originated, the fire swept up Levee street, postratjng,' Montgomery's stately auction establishment, the large and mag nidcent El Placer building the El Dorado, Hotel de Mexico. Drs. Clements and Rein's drug storo, Dickinson House, and all the buildings on those two central sqnaref. From them it spread across to the Central House, and Inthren quarters of an hour frdm the fifst alarm, our largo threa-story building was enveloped in flames. By the niost 8truiwou exertions, we succteded in saving onr press and printing materials, though in a very damaged condition. Every mercantile house on Lavoe street, ex cept six; all on Main street; all on El Dorado street, except two ; and all on Hunter, except three; compose the vlctims"of this incendiary at tempt. ( Tho suffering at Stockton was not relatively so great as at San Francisco but both are bud enough. Three hundred and fifty buildings were commen ced in 11 days after the fire of the "4th May. in San Francisco. " POSTAGE STAMPS. The 6 and 10 cent postage stamps now in use, will not be received in pre-payment of postage, ufter the 30th of the present month. Persons holding any such, as soon as practicable after that date, aud before the 20th of September next, shouU present them for redemption to the Post master authorised to sejl postage stamps. It would not bu a bad move for tbo peoplo to meet the liberel spirit of the government, by pur chasing the 3 cent stamps, aud have the postage pre-paid at all times and by every body. This would save trouble and expense to the Depart ment, and might bo the means of reducing tho postage still lower than under the new law. From the Nnvbcrnian. EXECUTION OF JOHN TILGHMAN. John Tilghman who was convicted at the Fail Term of Craven County Superior Court, of tho murder of Joseph J. Tilghiuau, sufRivd the ex treme penalty of tho law, on Saturday last at about 2 o'clobk. The place of execution was 014 the Western environs of the Town about half a mile from the County jail. A large concourse, of people, estimated at between 4 and 0000, was ou the ground, to witness the execution. The pris oner seemed duly impressed with tho solemnity of the scene through which he was about to pass, but met his fate on tho whole, with as much for titude as could have been expected, and with resignation. He made no confession on tho gal lows, but appeared very penitent, and admonish ed the young men present to take warning from liis fate and resist all temptations to evil deeds. lie continued his admonitions and devotions un til the scatliid dropped, and Jie was launched into eternity. Ho had been anxious to prepare for his fate for some days, which he had of lute look to as inevi able. Just before the day of his exe cution he made what he stated to be, a full coi fi ssion in regard to the circumstances of the mur- ! dor, which was taken down by his counsel with a request from him, that it should be publiihed. It is probably that it will be published together with his trial and in pamphlet form. We are not at liberty at present to say more of this coufes bion, than that it proves that his conviction by the jury, and his sentence were just. THE .PRESIDENT AT OI.p POlT. The Norfolk Beacon, of Wednesday says that the President and his Cabinet have accepted the invitation of the proprietors of the Hygela Hotel, at Old Point, to pay them a visit. He started on Saturday last ANABOLITION MEETING. Held iu Philadelphia on Sunday, at Fianklin Hall, was broken up by a mob.
