LATE AMERICAN NEWS. The telegrams deprive the American papers —received, by the way, in the most irregu- lar manner=-of nearly all interest. They are full of rumours and conjectures about the peace movement, which we know was a fail- ure, the South not yet feeling so weak as to receive the terms which the North would dictate, viz., uoconditional surrender of their independence, not only as a Confederacy, bat as States, and the abvliticn of Slavery. The Boston Post says :— ** When Messrs. Stephens, Hunter and Campbell, the Rebel Commissioners, through our lines, there were shoutings and acclamations by soldiers of both armies. The bands of both played national airs. Dixie was met by Yankee Doodle; and so the shouting went on! A Petersburg despatch says of these tunes, ‘ they were appropriately responded to by the two armies alternately : but when the bands struck up ‘ Home, Sweet iiome,’ the opposing camps forgot their posi- tions and united in vociferous cheering.’ And these brave men are set to fight each other! Was there ever the like of this seen in history ? That old familiar tune awakened feelings akin to other days, and was a peace commissioner of the right stamp; and that response had a meaning which those who are dealing with Peace will do well to poader upon.”’ Brazil and Uraguay are at war, and from the banks of the Amazon there come stories of bombardment and bloodshed, similar to those from the States, only on a smaller scale. The Brazilians attacked the town of Pryean- dee, which was gallantly defended. —St. John Freeman. ag eben lilldappeiemitiett THREE FIRES AT HALIFAX. About twelve o'clock on Friday night last, a fire broke out in a house on Llollis street, (opposite the Halifax Hotel) occupied by Mr. Chas. M. Creed, proprietor of the News Room. Mr. C. and his wife was absent at the time, and the house was in charge of a lad, who, haying discovered the fire, with great presence of mind, removed two children who were asleep at the time, into a neigh- bor’s house, then immediately proceeded to inform his master of the whereabouts of the fire. Meanwhile the alarm was sounded, and the two fire Companies were soon to the rescue. ‘The Union Protection Company set themselves to work in safely removing the effects from the two houses in danger, while the Engine Company speedily brought water to bear upon the flames, and got them under in time to prevent them being spread to any of the adjvining houses. A house to the southward in which the fire originated, was considerably damaged by water. The cause of the fire is attributed to a detective flue in the chimney. The premises are owned by Garret Cotter, Esq., and insured for $1200. Mr. Creed also bad his effects covered by 1000. . No sooner had the firemen cease] their ex- ertiuns, than another alarm was given;— this time owing to Victoria Building on the same street being discovered on fire. On proceeding to the room in which the fire ori- ginated, a quantity of kindling wood, spruce boughs, and paper, were found heaped to- gether in the centre of it, and on fire; but the timely discovery prevented any damage being done to the building. This was, to all intents and purposes, the deliberate work of an incendiary ; and we are glad to find that the civic authorities have offered a reward of $400 tor the discovery of the perpetrator. About three o’clock on Sunday morning the alurm bells again sounded. A barn on Falkland Street was discovered on fire, and we learn that before the flames were sub- dued, the building sustained much damage, and a quantity of hay consumeid.—/alifaxr paper.

There is great distress in Jamaica—the re- sult of the failure of the crops the two last years past, und the American war, which has not only diminished the supply of bread- stuffs, but made dearer what hus come to hand. The increase in the cost of cotter has been rendered more oppressive by the heavy customs duties. In addition ta all this, the waut of employment, has cended to reduce alarge part of the population to the depths of poverty. Their clothes have be- come ragged, and multitudes are almost nak- ed. Petty thefts and robbery, arising chiel- ly from want, have more thaa doubled, ren- ering it necessary to build a2ew prisons and inflict heavier punishment. All moral and spiritaal improvement is Lrought to a stand still. The Baptist Missionary Society of London solicits clothing or money to relieve this great distress. —__—__—» 6 o————- As for Mr. Kenneth Wenderson’s appoint-/ postpone some remarks of our own on the may observe, Sesu, thet the uo thanks to the Hoe. | tion of the city is 175,000, Boston has 104 churches and halls opened on Sundays for religious worship, and the average attendance is 68.475, The popula- CATHOLIC YOUNG MEN’S LITERARY | INSTITUTE.
