Ari alarm of fire Vvas given in a blacksmitli’s shop near the corner of Christie and Delaney streets. The wind was blow- ing a gale, and the fire soon made a clean sweep through Forsyth, and then across Forsyth more than halfway to El- dridge street in front, and quite through the rear. The number of houses destroyed cannot fall short ofone hundred, and were tcnanted chiefly by that portion of the community who can less afford to hear the loss. Hundreds of families have lost their all by this calamity. .ditother great Fire—Another fire broke out about four o’clock in the rear of'524 Pearl street, in a bakery, and owing to the absence of all the engines up town, the rear of five btiildings were in flames before anything could be done towards checking it. The fire soon spread through to An- thony street on one side and Elm on the other, destroying some thirty buildings of all kinds. The buildings were old and dilapidated. .dnother.—-A fire broke out in the two story building, cor- ner of Maiden Lane and Nassau street, last night at half-past twelve, but was'got under without much trouble. ‘Anolher.—A large barn owned by Stephen Garrison, of Harsimus. near Jersey City, together with a considerable quantity of hay, was consumed yesterday afternoon—Thirty cows,- which were in the barn, were destroyed. Intelligence by way of New York states that serious war- like demonstrations, against British power in India, had been made by the Burmese, and that this might be expected to have much effect on Chinese operations. Reinforcements intended for. China, had been ordered to Kanjore. TEXAS INVADED. ' The New Orleans papers of the 16th, bring the importan intelligence that the Rio Grande has been actually crossed, and Texas invaded by Mexican troops, under Gan. .flstria. A letter in the Picayune, dated at Galveston, March 12th, says that Sari Antonio Goliad and Victoria, have been taken with- out opposition. It was thought that the first battle would be fought on the Colorado. ' The Galveston Civilian says that Goliad was taken. San Antonio was taken by 1000 Mexicans, under Gen. Vasquez. All the Mexicans in Boxer, have joined the in- vading army. The New Orleans Bee says that, if necessary, Gen. Houston can have 10,000 Texans in the field within 30 days.

Austin has beenrtaken, and the Mexicans had plundered and evacuated San A ntonio. The Texas Troops were in pursuit of the Mexicans, and it was confidently expected that the latter would be com— pletely routed. , It appears that the Mexican invadin g army was much smaller than reported. The force that captured Goliad amounted to only 300 men, consequently the whole Mexican force at Goliad and Bexar does not exceed 1000. We feel more confirmed in the belief; that these two de- tachments comprise the whole invading army now in Texas. . _ _ CITY or Hous'roiv, March 17, 1842. The news by express from Austin up to the 13th inst. is, that the enemy have evacuated San Antonio, after having plundered the place. They were laden down with baggage, and march slowly—Col. Hays is harrassing them on their march—They only march about eight miles each day. War shall now be waged against Mexico. The business of the Legislature is now rapidly drawing to a close. The Revenue and Appropriation Bills were sent up to the Council yesterday. A Bill, introduced by the Hon. Mr. Pope, to amend the Act to authorize the erection ofa Lunatic Asylum, was agreed to in the House ofAssem- bly yesterday, and will receive its third reading to—day. The Bill, imposing a Tax on Immigrants, and for other pur- poses connected with them, will also receive its third read- ing to-day; and it is expected that the business of the Ses- sion will be got through with by Wednesday or‘Thursday next .ri .._ On Monday last, a Meeting of the Shareholders of the Steam Navigation Compay was held in the Court House in this Town—the Hon. Capt. Swabey in the Chair—when the draught of a Bill for the incorporation of the Company was submitted, and approved of by 'the Meeting. A letter, re- ceived from Mr. Gurney by the last English Mail (a copy of which is hereunto annexed), Was also read by the Chairman, and has given an additional stimulus to the spirited under— taking. There are now, we understand, 410, out of the 450, hares subscribed for in this Colony; and it is to be hoped, that, as there is now a certainty of the enterprise going into successful operation, that all the remaining shares will be speedily taken up here. The Company Will thus be enabled to make their purchase on the most advantageous terms, and will avoid the necessity of acoepting the offer ofthe proprietors of the Boat to take share in the Company to the amount of £500 sterling, as a part of the purchase money. The Bill for the incorporation of the Company has passed the House of Assembly, and was yesterday sent to the Council, for their concurrence. “ Gloucestershire, 2d March, 1842. _ “I have made numerous inquiries touching a Steampacket sm— table for the station proposed by the Prince Edward Island Company.

To TEE Enr'ron or THE COLONIAL HERALD. _— SIM—A Public Meeting was held at Bay Fortune School House, on Monday the 4th inst., to take into constderation two letters published in the Colonial Herold lately, the pro— duction of some person who decignated himself AN Eascroa .M_r."J§mes Douglas was called to' the Chair, and Mr. Daniet b lynii was requested to notes Clerk. The letters in question were then read, and Mr. James Howlett was called upon 'to give any information he might be pOssessod 0f touching those letters, as also the letters published by the Speaker of'the House of Assembly. ' Mr. Howlett came forward, and said—“l need not trouble you with, anything upon Mr. Cooper’s Letters—you know the truth of his statements as well as i do; but as you have talked upon me, 1 shall make a few remarks upon the letters of the ELI-:c'ron._ his pretty well known that Bay Fortune has taken an active part in supporting the measures to ob- tain a settlement for the Tenantry; and it is known to some that myself and five others have been pretty well punished for it, by fine and imprisonment; but as we have endured the persecution with patience, so we will seek justice with - firmness; and as a General Election will take place this year, AN ELECTOR, by dating his letters from Bay Fortune, has commenced the old game to deceive the people, and Would lead them to believe that the spirit of the people is broken, and that we are dissatisfied with otir Representa- tives; but I hope before we part that we will declare our unaltered confidence in our Representatives, and our deter- mination to support them at the' next Election; and I trust our brother Farmers will not lose sight of their interest, but will choose men to represent them who will pledge them- selves to follow up the proceedings ofthe present House of Assembly, to obtain a settlement for the people, and shew the proprietary oppressors that the British are as per- severing to seek for justice at home as they are to defend their rights against enemies abroad. “The Hon. the Speaker, in his answers to Art ELECTOR, in that part where he has taken notice of the trial ofmyself', and the other five who were sentenced to fine and imprison- ment, has given but a faint sketch of the proceedings, to be understood only by those who were before acquainted with them. I shall not' disturb what he has said with regard to our evidence, but begin with the witnesses who were brought to support the Sheriff‘s evidence against us—I mean those who were said or supposed to have been of our own party. The first was one of whom the Counsel for the Crown said —“ that witness’s evidence was to be depended upon ; his testimony had to be drawn from him, as it was very reluco tantly given ;” and this very witness was three miles from \the Sheriff at the time be swore the riot took place. “ But as there was no resistance made to the Sherifi; it was necessary to prove that resistance was intended, as, without this, there could be no conviction, and accordingly a witness was found—a very willing one—who said all they wanted him to say, and a great deal more.—-—His evidence went to prove that, in a conversation with one ofliis neighbours, he learned that those who attended the sale did so with the intention of resisting the Sheriff; but it is an absolute fact, that this witness was not in company, nor did he speak with the accused parties. People unacquaintcd with the circumstances may inquire the reason why this witness was not tried for perjury? I can inform them, that several ofthe accused attended Court with a view of bringing the matter before the Grand Jury, who took the evidence of one and another, was admitted, but was ordered to with- draw for a few minutes, when the Counsel on behalf of the Crown went into the Grand Jury Room, and from thence to speak to the Judge, and immediately afterwards the Grand Jury were discharged. 1 shall not detain you longer, only to say, that an act of injustice is like a lie told, which will require many more to support it—so the “injustice in withholding a Court of Esclieat in this Island requires many an act ofinjtistice to uphold it.” The following Resolutions were then severally proposed and seconded, and passed unanimously ;— 1. Resolved, That the writings signed by an iridividual calling himself“ An Elector of King’s County,” are a com- pound of'metin abuse and base lies, directed against William Cooper, Esquire, calculated to injure his reputation, and to injure the cause for which we are contending. 2. Resolved, That such mean efforts, used to sway the minds oftlic people from‘persevering to obtain their rights, is akin to former proceedings. 7.; - 3. Resolved, That this Meeting have every confidence in the majority of the present House ofAsseinbly, who have unflinchineg persevered for a redress of our grievances, and that they will continue to use their best endeavours to obtain an equitable settlement for the oppressed tenantry. 4. Resolved, That this Meeting solicits every Elector in the Colony to put his shoulder to thewheel at the next Election, and return Members who will persevere to obtain the desi- red redress. 5. Resolved, That the Printers of the Colonial Herald and Royal Gazelle newspapers be respectfully requested to pub- lish the proceedings ofthe Meeting. Mr. Dongias having left the Chair, which was taken by Mr. Aitketi, the thanks of the Meeting were thereupon voted to Mr. Douglas, for the _orderly manner in which.he had conducted the meeting.
