A Traatcat Arvain.—On Friday week last at Lexington,

Mo., Frederick Myers deliberately shot a man by the name of

Vaulandingham, in one of the most public streets in the town. There were no witnesses to the occurrence, bat Myers immediately went to an offiver and gave himself up, confessing Vaulandingham died in afew minutes. Myers charged the deceased with crimiual intercourse with his wile, end had letters from Vanlandingham to prove it. After an investigation the prisoner was discharged, and the decision highly applauded by the crowd of spectators. Vanlanding-

NEW BRUNSWICK.

DISASTROUS FIRE.—20 BUILDINGS DESTROYED. Another most destructive fire occurred in this city yesterday morning. It broke out between two and three o’clock in Ritchie's Tannery, near the Golden Ball, and ina short space of time the building was in flames. The fire spread with t rapidity, commanicating to the block of houses between

faterloo and Unien-streets, nearly ail of which were either |

Jaid in ruins or rendered useless. Several of the buildings adjoining, on Brussells-street, were also destroyed, and the only one untouched the fire on the triangular block, is

that occupied by Mr. Justice, on the corner cf the two streets.

The destruction of property by this fire has been immense. On Waterloo-street, Mr. Mire’s Carriage Factory, togetber with a | quantity of seasoned lumber, was totally de- stroyed. “Nr. M.’s loss will probably exceed £1,000. He was insured to the amount of £300.

In the vicinity of the Factory was the house recently owned by J. Anderson, which was burnt to the ground. Mr. Hor- ton, the owner, had purchased it for £400, and was insured for £350.

Of the two houses belonging to Mr. John Sargent, both are all but destroyed. Mr. Calkins had insurance on one of those which he had ieased for a term of years. The other was uninsured

Mr. Ritchie’s loss is heavy. The suddenness of the fire prevented him from saving any materials belonging to his tannery. We understand, however, that his loss is covered to a considerable extent by insurance.

A house belonging to the Leavitt Estate, fronting on Union- street, was considerably damaged, and the house immediately in the rear was totally destroyed

Not less than seven or eight buildings on Union and Brussells-streets were laid in ashes. The house occupied by Mr. Gard (confectioner), and owned by Mr. Ritchie (insured), was burnt so far as to be rendered wholly unserviceable.

Two houses belonging to Mr. McUullough, a house belong- ing to Mr. Snider, and another, the peorerty of Mr. J. Stockford, all in the same range of buildings, fell a prey to the flames. Mr. McCullough was uninsured. Mr. Snider was insured for £300, and Mr. Stockford for £350.

Mr. Murphy lost three houses, one of which fronted on Bruseclls-street, and the other three were in the rear. He was insured for £250. Probable loss’ £400. An adjoining house, owned by Mr. Dunean (baker), was also destroyed, and was, we believe, uninsured.

A workshop belonging to Mr. James (carperter), in the rear of the building generally used asa polling place for

Wellington Ward, was burned in connection with some |

smailer structures.

A two story house, leased by Mr. Collins, was saved by dint of exertion on the part of the firemen, and the progress of the flames was arrested in this direction.

Nearly twenty buildings were destroyed in all. The far- niture and effects belonging to the houses on Union and Brussells-streets were mostly saved; on Waterloo-street, much was destroyed. hetevall families were rendered house- less. Some aceidents occurred, but none, we believe, of a “a Serious nature.

he firemen worked like heroes, but, owing tu the unseason- able hour at which the fire oceurred and the headway which it had obtained, together with some delay in getting a supply of water, it was exceedingly difficult, nad required great effort to prevent further devastation. It was not until a late hour

attempting to arrest him for creating disturbance on the |

menced on Tuesday last. The preparations on the part of the neral and creater than on numbers throneed the margin of he river, wherever a good view could be obtained, and ereat nterest was manifested in the result of the various contests. [.M.S. Arab, Captain Pearce, being in port, afforded many

| facilities, otherwise unavailable, and rendered, by the courtesy

of himself and officers, invaluable service to that portion of the | club which superintended arrangements. Mr. Heard’s steamer was also placed at their disposal off Mr. Peake’s wharf, and | Was occupied by the umpires; the warp attaching the | |the wharf serving as the starting and winning post... The weather was extremely fine, the wind being light; and while | those interested in the light row boats rejoiced, those of the lsailing boats no doubt wished a littl more wind. The races came off as per programme, viz :— | Firsr Day.—tThe first race was between the schoorer boats

* Eva,”’ ** Lady,”’ ** Ouquis’’ (Indian boat), and the “ Jane.”’ | The ** Robert Barns”’ also entered, but being unable to get up | in time, did not run. The ‘* Ouquis’’ took the lead and kept | it until in beating up the harbour it became evident the ‘‘Jane”’ was gaining on her, and in the last tack shot ahead, came in | first and won the prize, £7; the ‘* Ouquis” taking the second,

£3 10s.

The second race took place at 114 o'clock, between the first | class club boats, viz: cutter ** Brant,’’ schooners ** Crow’? and | ‘* Hotspur,’ yawl ** Snowdrift,’? and Mr. Wilson’s English j built cutter * Uncle Tom.’’ The wind being very light, this | race was not attended in consequence with the interest which otherwise would have been felt; the contest was between the ‘* Snowdrift”’ and the ** Hotspur’”’ ; the ‘ Snowdrift’’ winning by 3 minutes and 20 seconds.

Third race between two oar club boats—first prize, ** Wil- ihelmina,’’ second do., ** Trout.’”’ The “ Trout’? k pt well ahead until within a short distance of the winning post, when the rowers had to stop for the purpose of freeing her of water. lt was a pretty contest between the two boats.

Fourth race—country four cared boats—first prize, ‘‘ Alert,’’ second do., + Flirt.”’ .

Fifth race—two oared boats—first prize, ‘‘Alert,’’ second do., ‘* Dolphin.’” The ‘‘Alert’’ is a very pretty model, and her success is flattering to the builder, Mr. John Darrach.

The sixth race—canoes—created much amusement; the first prize being won by P. Louis; second do., J. Fraser ; third do., M. Mitchel.

The seventh race was stoutly contested for by five of the second class club boats. First prize, ‘‘ Uncle Tom’’; second do., ‘‘ La Belle,” sailed by B. Davies, Esq.

In the eighth race eighteen sail boats started for the prizes. This race was quite animating; the tiny hulls of the flect, as the signal gun announced the moment for starting, being liter- ally enveloped with the press of snowy canvass which sur- mounted them, and together with the boats of every type dotting the river’s surface, rendered the scene highly pictur- esque. The prizes were taken as follows: first do., ** Pilot,” Maedonald ; second do., ‘* Greyhound,”’ Tl’. Martin ; third do., ‘* Seabird,’? Macleod—all three boats being from Belfast.

Ninth race—four oared gigs, over 33 feet long. This race, the contest being between the’** Buccaneer,’’ ‘* Banshee’’ and ** Hillsborough,’’ was disputed, and the umpires ordered it to be re-run on the following day.

Szconp Day, Wzpnespay.—The sailing boats had a decided

advantage to-day, there being a brisk sailing breeze from the ‘eastward. ‘The weather was still fine, and the number of spec- | tators even exceeded that of the first day. At 12 o’clock the | amusements began. | First race between boats pulled by men of H. M.S. Arab; | five boats started; Capt. Pearce’s came in first, Lieut. ’s ‘second. We think that had not the ‘Alert’? and ‘ Mickey | Free’’ come in collision at the outset, the former of these would ‘have succeeded in taking a prize. The five boats, manned by | British tars, developed more muscle than is generally seen on | our regatta course. | Second race—first class sail boats—for Ladies’ Purse. The | «* Hotspur,’’ Charles Campbell, took the prize, beating the best boats in the club and country races.

Third race—-canoes—between an African, of H. M.S. Arad,

and an Indian. The race was won by the Indian, after a hard ‘struggle. The different styles of paddling between the two | races was very evident, even from the shore; the African’s— la fine athletic fellow recently from the coast—being a quick | short stroke ; that of the Indian slower and more graceful. | Fourth race.—On account of the two winning boats round- | ing the buoy en the wrong tack, ordered to be competed for at 16 a.m., to-day. | Fifth race—canoes paddled by whites—no race. | Sixth race—fouroared gigs. This race caused much excite- ‘ment. The ‘* Buccaneer,’’ built by Mr. Wm. Gibbs, took the prize—the “ Banshee’? keeping her very close company. | Seventh race—corsolation stakes—first prize, * Kettle,” 2d do., ‘* Speckled Hen.” | Kighth race—Duck Hunt. <A youth in a pant mancuvred successfully for some tithe to evade capture by a gig, but was /caught within quarter of an hour. ‘This was a most amusing }race throughout; just as the gig had him, round whirled the prey and dodged, and when the pursuers opened their hands, | the game was gone; and so the lad pulled and dodged in a |most slippery way, until he slipped into #he snare. | And thus the regatta for 1850 terminated, creditable to all / concerned.—Adwerlizer.

Suicrpz.—On Sunday, 10th August,-Mr. Ellis Mullineux, | Anderson’s Road, attended afternoon service at the school- house, near his own residence, after which he returned home, apparently right in mind and bedy. Taking a pipe, he lay ‘down on the bed; after a while, his wife requested him to do something while she prepared tea ; he took the cart reins from the wall, and telling her that he would first lengthen the tether ‘of the horse, which was grazing in the field, he left the house. | ‘Mrs. Mullineux set about getting tea, which being ready, and her husband still out, she went to seck fim. On going out, she saw the stable door, which had been open all day, close, and going up to it, found it was fastened from the inside ; this door she forced open; from the stable a door led to the barn, which was also barricaded from the inside ; foreing this, and looking about, she discovered her husband’s feet on the loft floor, and going up stairs beheld the lifeless body suspended ‘from a rafter by the reins which he had taken froin the house.
