(From ¢ he Halifax Daily Sun, January 2.) FEARFUL CONFLAGRATION AT HALIFAX ON NEW YEAR’s DAY.

SEVENTEEN BUILDINGS AND SAINT MATTHEW'S CHURCH TOTALLY CONSUMED—THIRTEEN HOUSES AND STORES PARTIALLY DESTROYED.

We regret to record that the festivities of yesterday were suddenly interrupted about 4 o'clock, p. m., by the alarm of “ Fire,” just as our citizens were in the midst of their calls on renewing the friendship of the New Year. On hastening to the spot, we found the large building situate on the corner |

of Prince and Hollis Streets, known as Vass’ Building, in |

one mass of flame. Notwithstanding a large number of our citizens were out

| Association, per fas et nefas, was the overthrow of the Government, and | the division of the spoil. That we have failed in getting up commotions | and raising up Branches, is not our fault; it is the fault of the inherent | stupidity of the people. But though this is the case, yet we ought not | to neglect most cordially to thank those who have so nobly co-operated | with us in this undertaking. The siege of Sebastopol was as glorious to | the Russians, who at length surrendered, as it was to the arms of the | Allies. I must draw, then, your attention to a mecting which was held at New Glasgow Bridge, to second our views. ‘True it is, that there were only three or at most four parties who responded to the eall. All honor be to them,—their conduct was as magnanimous, nay thrice as | magnanimous, as if itt had been so crowded thata mar might have walked | on the devoted heads—I beg pardon, I mean the heads of devoted Snar- | lers;—it is in their honor that I propose a vote of thanks. It will, no | doubt, be agreed to unanimously.” | The gentleman who rose to second the motion spoke as follows:— | ‘* Gentlemen, the proposition before you meets my entire concurrence and approbation; but you have omitted the most necessary and obligatory part.

We are called on to mark our approbation of these qualities in | the highest degree, as exhibited by a gentieman in whom we all have | the highest confidenee—an M.P., whose residence is near at hand to this celebrated place of snarling reunion, called New Glasgow Bridge. He, profitting, perhaps, by the hints which you, sir, have so frequently and so ably thrown out—thought it right neither to compromise himself nor this Alliance by an inefficient display, prudently surveyed, through a telescope, the arena on which the meeting should have taken place, and observing that the swelling thousands who were expected did not make | their appearance—most wisely returned to his own door, to raminate on (the folly and. instability of human affairs, amidst his cows and his tar- nips; or perhaps he might think his friends and enthusiasts might have inistaken the day. To this gentleman our thanks must most gratefully extend, I need not name him; we all know him, and to blazon forth But, Gen- tlemen, this is not all; onr best acknowledgments are likewise due and must Ge paid to the zealous tradesmen—I don’t know whether really tradesthen, artizans, or philusophers,—but this Iam sure, that the zeal displayed by them in another gnarter, I mean near Brackley Point, is But in that quarter and New London, we have been counteracted by the narrow minded prejudices of people who

those latitudinarian principles which &t as, without compromise or incon- sistency, to take auy course, so loug as it be only adverse to the powers that be. I will detain the meeting no longer, but only suggest the motion being amended, fo include the gentlemen to whose discretion and eGicacy we are so much indebted.

[voR THR EXAMINER. ] Mr. Enpiror ;

Pefinit me, through the medium of your infuential jour- nal, to say a few werds im reference to a Socicty at present established im Charlottetown, bearing the rather long desig- nation of the “ Cathelic Young Men's Literary Institute.” It was organized last October, under the kind patronage of the Rev. Thomas Phelan—a gentleman dear to the hearts of every Catholic in this community. Lis intentions are to

.| beget and fosier a desire for standard Literature among young

men, and to inspire them with a love of every thing moral, noble, and good. There have been several lectures delivered on a variety of interesting themes; discussions on those sub- jects with which the generality of the members are acquainted ; A Library has alvo been

\established in conneetion with the Institute—the majority of the members having contributed very handsomely towards its | formation; and a eommittee bas been appointed to wait upon ithe different Catholics in this City, and solicit donations to

this laudable enterprise. May we not hope, Mr. Editer, that

The offices | of the Registrar and Judge of Probate were kept in this | building, but fortunately the papers and records were saved. |

The house and stable owned by Mr. Kearney—the old Halifax Dispensary house occupied by Mr. Ellis, and pre: | mises adjoining; also, house occupied by Captain Thornas, | the adjoining house, the residence of Mr. Selden, and Chris- | tian Messenger offiec—all in ruins. The houses on the Opposite side of the street were considerably scorched, and | saved only by the strenuous exertion of the firemen and others,

We understand there is £1500 insurance on St. Matthew's Church. Goods in cellar also insured. We are not in pos-|

-session of the extent of insurance on the other buildings; nor do we pretend to estimate the great loss entailed on the

sufferers by this calamity. The “ Fire Engine,” belonging to the 63rd Regt. took fire and was destroyed.

Tbe new Conferences at Paris are on the eve of taking| place. In fact, the 20th of last month has been mentioned |

as the date of the first sitting. A letter from Turin states'| that Count Cavour has written to Count Stackelberg, the | Russian Minister at Turia, in which he declares in favour of | the British and Austrian interpretations of the Treaty of | Peace as regards Bolgrad ; but he adds that the Sardinian | Minister will exomine with impartiality and independence all the arguments which may be adduced at the Conference.

The misunderstanding between Prussia and Switzerland has now arrived at such a point that the first-named P is said to be determined to march her troops into the Fe Republic. The French official organ laments the obstinaey of Switzerland. “ On one side,” it states, “ France has met With a sincere desire to terminate a delicate question; on the other side, au obstinacy which is to be regretted—an exag- gerated susceptibility, and a complete indifference to her councils.” The Prussian monarch seems to be goaded to this step by the determination of the Swiss to try the prisovers, and the Neufchatel question may lead co results the importance | of which cannot be overestimated. Lt is.evideut that every-|

tedschid Pacha is trying to settle the affair, and Ferukh Khan had on Sunday last an interview with Lord Stratford de Redcliffe, which did not last less than three hours.” Caprone oF Herat.—The Constantinople correspondent of the Times, writing on the 8th, says:—*“ The information |

received by the Persian Ambassador about the taking of | Herat has since been confirmed from other sources. The | town surrendered for want of provisions. When the news| of the taking of Herat arrived at Teheran, it was cele-| brated by festivals, which were to have lasted three days, but | which were prematurely interrupted by the death of the eldest | prince and heir of the Shah, a child six years of age, who had | been ailing for some time. All the details of the surrender | are from Persian sources, and according to these, everything | passed in the most perfect order, and no excesses of any kind were commited.”

The funeral of the Rev. Father Mathew, “ the apesile of temperance,” took place at Cork, on the 12th, and was, perhaps, the most remarkable one ever witnessed in that city. The cortege was more than three miles long, and took an hour anda half to pass any particular point. It was attended by the Corporation and City officers, in mourning, by several dignitaries and Clergymen of the Established Church, as well as by a vast number of the Roman Catholic clergy, with their bishop at their head, and by all the Roman Catholic and a great many of the Protestant gentry of the surrounding coun- try. It was estimated that not fewer than 50,000 people were assembled in and around the cemetery on the oceasion ; and the deepest sympathy was expressed by the greater number of those present, many of them shedding tears. The Roman Catholic Bishop and seventy priests officiated at the obsequies in the Church of the Holy Trinity. ‘

[FOR THE EXAMINER. ] Mr. Wuetay; Sir,—Noticing a gathering at the Police Office on Tuesday

last, I was induced to make one of the number; and on,

entering the Court, witnessed the trial of the most spiteful case that, perhaps, ever was brought before that Court. It was, in substance, as follows:—On Christmas day one of the Tory faction, of a very caustic temperament, took it into his head to drive a tandem through the streets of this City ata full gallop, as was witnessed by very many; for which it would appear he was fined. One of the parties who com- plained of him—a policeman—on New Year's day, was entrusted with a horse and sleigh; and in driving about, ata moderate rate, crossed a gutter, which brought the swing-tree of the sleigh suddenly against the horse’s heels, eausing him to start and run. Tory’s horse, in some man’s charge, came driving up the street at a very furious rate, (as came out in evidence from the) plaintiff) which accelerated the speed of the policeman’s horse, | before he could be properly reined up. At this period of the | affair the eyes of a relative of the fined Tory rested on the) unfortunate policeman; he ran off, with heart dilating, to his

Masontc.—The Brethren of St. Jobu’s Lodge, No. 562, to. tha pumber of about ferty, dined together at the Masunice Hall, McDonald’s Building, on Taureday evening, the 8th instant. The Pinner wae got up in excellent style, and every delicacy that the market affords was spread in rich abundance before the happy partakers of the feast. Tho wines were of the best quality and abundant; and altogether the affair reflected much credit on the good taste and skill of the Managing Com- mittce, of whom Drother Lobban was Chairman, as well as the @apabili- ties of Mrs. McDonald, under whose supervision the Dinner was got up. The Chair was ably filled By Brother Worshipful Charles Bell, Esquire, The Brethren all seem to bo blessed with good appetites, and to be able todo ample justice to the good things before them. The Dinnér over, then came the feast of reason and the flow of soul—to say nothing of the flow of wine, of which happily there was no overflow. Songs were sung and speeches made by several Brothers, and nuwerous toasts drank in true Masonic style, and severally responded to in some instances in very beautiful and appropriate language. Brothers J. W. Morrison and W. Douse, Esquires, especially contributed largely to the pleasure of the evening by the very excellent remarks offered by cach. At low twelve the Drethren separated in peace and harmony, each for his home, and all in the same good order and condition as when they met. The bad state of the roads prevented many of the Brethren in the Country from attending, which was much regretted by those present, who did not forget todrink the health of the absent Brethren.
