(From the Halsfax Evening Express, Dec. 14.) ANOTHER CONFLAGRATION,

About half-past two yesterday morning, a fire broke out among a number of old * timber boxes,” the accumulation of

the last fifty or sixty years, and situated in pifered for wat-2

ot the la-gest blecks in the city. viz: thaf.. towns and cities Water, Sackvstle, aad Saver streete. - a, ' be fire spread rapid'y through them and connected wit

the houses fronting on Sackville ard Water streets. The dire, it is said, oecurre’ in Maurice Halloran’s stables, who. Weare sorry to icaru, lust two burses, a cab, sleigh, and stable furniture.

The flames very soon reached Mr. Michael Doran's stable |

and ithe sheds above alluled to, causing a very great blaze. Frow the very nature of things it was impossible to prevert the fire making headway where it did.

When we arrived on the ground, which was pretty early, we found No. | steam engine on Wier's wharf getting under way, and No. 6 and No. 5 hand engines playing and throw- ing water from the Long wharf. When No. 1 steamer got vader weigh sie worked beautifully, and threw three splea- 4d streaws the whole wight, subsuing the flames right and left.

No. 2 steamer was s m-time in getting to the fire, drawn by one horse and some men. Iu going dowa Nobie’s wharf, through want of cuutiou in not turning the engine properly, | & youog man by the name of Phalen was knocked agaiust the corner of Mr. Carew’s louse by the shaft, and very seriously injured. At the height of the fire, this engine gave | oat, in consequence of the boiler not being supplied with fresh | water, a sufficient supply not being kept at hand, an oversight | very reprehensible on the part of the otherin charge. When | the engine was located, the keeping up of a supply of fresh water should be looked to at ouce; without it the engine) may as well remin at home.

At this time it was thought the fire would communicate with the buildings on the opposice side of the street, but | owing to the good judgment of those in control, and hard work of the Fire Brigade, the fire was confined to the North | East corner of the block, aud not allowed to proceed further Westward than Mr. Doran's, and Southerly past Fenton’s chair factory.

After considerable time, some 200 of the Military were sent for by Genera! Doyle, and placed at the disposal of the Chairman of Firewards. General Doyle deserves the thanks ef the community for bis readiness to aid the Fire Depart- | ment. At the same time, it was most humiliating to see) tome three thousand able-bodied men standing by and com-| placently looking, as it were, with seem'ng delight at the dis- truction of their fellow-citizens, property, whilet the Military | Were sent for. We feel certain from the spirit manifested | by the Major General on yesterday morning, that he will be. ever ready to render assistance promptly.

The followiog is a list of the property destroyed and damaged : SACKVILLE STREET.

The Dwelling, House, Shop, Market and Stables of Mr. | Doran, were burnt to the growud. In the stable, a cow and eaif were burned, also a sheep, and the goat which excited | the admiration of every one who seen the animal.

A farge two-story building occupied by Mr. Roderick | Prarer, as an Auction Room, and belonging to the Cogswell tate, was laid completely io sshes. La this building was stored property belougiag to Mr. Jobo Pugh aud Mr. James Reeves.

CATHOLIC YOUNG MEN’s LITERARY INSTITUTE.

‘* Pagan and Christian Civilization Contrasted,’’ was the subject of the lecture last given before the Institute, by the Rector of St. Dunstan's College, Rey. Angus McDonald. The subject, though a vast one, was presen’ i fully io the audience, ‘in a sueccint, learned, and eloquent manner. He gave a glow- ing description of the material prosperity o” the ancient pa- gun nations, their literature, arts, architecture, and manu- factures. Le instanced their greatness in the works of human genius, which modern times bave taleso as models, and which have not been equalled. The stupendows buildings of the an- cients, he said, were marvellous, .@30 88 the pyramids of igypt and the great wall of China, whieh, as stated by the

}which are monthly issued from the Board of Trade. last of these now lies before us, and the first aspect is some- | what start ing. Eight millions sterling, or, to speak precise- ily, £7,929,014, make a mass of money not to bo overlooked even among the tremendous gold heaps that are accumu'ated and swept away in the transactions of British commerce Kight millions are the deficit in our imports during the last nine months, Butasthe computation goes on, the figures become yet more formidable. Hight millions upon the nine months’ return of £101,724,346 show only a decrease of 7} per cent. Wut whea we compare September with Septem ber we find that the fulling off in the last month had in- creased {rom 7} to nearly 18 per cent., as compared with | the September of 1860. We are, therefore, continuing to ‘ijmcrease our distance from the favourable returns of former years. Ip September, fur the first time, great adverse figures appear as unwelcome novelties in our re‘urns In one month there is a deercase of a million and a half in our ex- ports of Cotton; our Woollens have fall n off to the exteut of a million; Linens have declined to an equal extent; and

Metals have sunk rather more than a quarter of a million | this meagre ontline of a lecture replete with information on below tbe amount of the exportations of the September of | the great subjects of ancient and modern times, and which was)

Iustead of going on increasing our manufactures at a ratio which made tim d men tremble, and finding murkets for them at prices) which made even sanguine men rab their hands with joy, | we find the flood tide of prosperity first slacken, then stand stil, and now ebb. ready we can mark in millions the | j

fallen tide. The articles in which the decrease has occurred | jare Cottons and Cotton Yarn, Weo!levs, S.iks, Hardware aud | ' Metals. ouly maiutained, bu’ even cxceeled, the bigh staudard of the | September of the last year ; and in the Miscellaneous Articles | we have advanced more than half a million beyond the re-| turns of September, 1860.

Rey. lecturer gave next a splendid description of the feasts and banquets of the Romaas, and stiowed that they were in- debted for much of their greatness to the high eivilization of Greece. The latter uation, he said, even though when sub- jected to Rome, was ever her intellectual mistress. The lec- turer now gave the dark side of Pagan Civilization. He showed that the moral virtues were publicly disregarded—that children were exposed to death in the most cruel maaner— that the femal: sex were abused and degraded, and that the greater portion of the people, even in the mest civilized states, were ensla:ed, le said that the Pagans haa no benevolent institations, and had very little social happiness. The con- trast between this state of civilization and the Christian civi lization, which encourages the moral virtues, protects child- ‘hood, honors women, liberates all mankind, and promotes ‘social comfort, was eloquently drawn by the Rey. lecturer. Rev. Mr. McDonald concluded his lecture by a fine passage. in which he said that Christianity alone prevented the world ‘from relapsing into Barbarism, and from its advent, eighteen ‘hundred years ago, the progress of civilization has, through religion, been ever onward. : | he brief space at our disposal will only allow us te give

This sentence was catried into effect on the 8th inst., | on the South Parade in the citadel of Co: fu.—The following account of the scene which took place at the execution is {rom a private letter :—** The band went to the prison to conduct Chadwick to the place of execution,and he was placed amidst a guard of eight soldiers, baving their arms reversed and walking in slow time, the clergymen at their head. They entered the chapel, on the ontside of which the awful event was to take place. Before hanging him, they tied his feet and adjusted the cord round his neck. The scaffold was placed nive feet from the ground, and, owing to the negli- gence of the exeeutioner, the body ia falling broke the rope, | and the poor mao fell moaning on the ground, close to bis | coffin. He was taken up and hanged a second time. The whole of the garrison were present,and every one was shocked at this new mode of taking a sold er’s life.”

Ivpra aNp THe Exutsition.—The Government of India have sanetioned the expenditure of £10,000 for the purchase of articles for the Great Kxhibition of 1862. Of this sum £3000 is to be spent in Bengal, £3000 in Madras, £2000 in Bombay and £1590 in the Punjaub. It is expected that from the profit which may result from the sule of the articles thas purchased, Government will be able to defray the ex- pense of despatching the contributions of private exhibitors to Londou.— Friend of India.
