Friend Snowden:—In the Arithmetical Solu
tions published in the Gazette of the 2lst, not
having the proposed questions by me at the rime
of solving them, the assumed value of the Gui
nea was taken at 84 75. (being near that at
which it is commonly computed) and the numbers
there exhibited were accordingly those resulting
from tins assumed value. In thj; question as
proposed, however, I find the value of the Guinea
was assumed at 83 75. This difference, al
though it will not vary the principle of mlutiyn
in any wav, will vary the numbers, and, it is j
with pleasure that 1 add, will render the ques- J
tion entirely determinate. By a process precise
lv similar to the one there given, v\e find that A
had 76 Pistoles, B 18 Guineas, and C. ti Moi
Jore*;_which are the only possible numbers that
will answer the con li'ionsof the question.

DKS1 RUCTIVE FIRE!
About To dock on Sa*uiday evening, afire
broke nut in a small shop neX* to the corner ol
the Maiket, on East Biv sttee*. outvpied bv
Messrs. Lovett & Hawlev, May ami Colton Mon
gers Mr. Hawley, having occasion to go up
s'airs with a light, stumbled ar>d tell, and the
li»ut came in contact with a fared of loose cot
ton. whit h immediate'* ignited, and in a mo
ment the whole was in a Hume. In a vet v short
time the entire cluster of wooden buildings on
the square between the market and the mansion
of the late (i n. C. C Pinckney was m flumes
F'.om the combustible nature <t these buildings,
and the wind blowing fresh from the East, the
fire had made considerable progress before en
*’iives could be brought into servhe. t he roof
of the market house was soon in a blaze, and the
dense mass of wooden houses on the South side
of the street were threatened with destruction
Fui Innately, however, the Vigilant Fire Engine,
together with some of the city companies, were
placed in a very favorable situation to plav upon
the bui.dtngs, atid although several times the
flow's of the bouse* were in a light blaze, they
succeeded in extinguishing the Humes, anil kept
them fmin evending on that side Had they not
succeeded in this elf rt, i» w-mhl have b en al
most impossible to have saved the whole square
fiom toial destruction. O' the north sid-- of
Maiket street, the fire swept ail the hr.u-es as far
West as Anson street, where by die uin-t unre
milting exertion*'on the part of Hie fiienum, ami
the blowing up ol aevrial houses, it wa» finally
stopped. T ie ravages of tlie fire extended from
H ist Bay street on the K .st. crossing Reaper’s
Aliev, to Anson street on the West, and from
Market street oi the South, including tin* small
meat market, ami the wooden vegetable market
immediately to the \> est of it (width was pull
ed down) to K «erv street on the North, includ
ing t!*e hou-cs on the North side of Ellery stiec*.
Col. Bankhead, with a s»rong detachment of
U. S Troop*. from Fort Moultrie, and a large
b<»lv of seamen from the Natchez, and other arm
ed vessels in the harbor,nniler the orders ol their
I C*|/r v ’ • * v \
rendered very vjluahle assistance in arresting
the pn»gre*s ot the destructive element The
soldiers and sail ns being tiesh, continued the
working ol the Eagines, &c. after the men who
had been previously engaged in that service were
completely exhaus'ed. The latter especially,
from their fearless character and readmes at
mounting the tops of houses, were gieatly instru
mental in saving the range of buildings on the
South «ide ol Market street, which were repeat
edly on lire. To the Military an I Naval Officers,
and the Soldiers and Sailor* under thetr com
mand, the gratitude ot lire community is due.foi
their arduous and efficient exertions on this me
lancholy occasion.
We learn that the houses and other property
destroyed, were not een**rally insured, probably
to not inofe than the amount of eight or ten thou
sand dollars. The houses destroyed were about
40 in number, and mostly belonging to tenants.
The loss of property generally, has fallen upon
a class of persons tne least aide to bear it. The
destruction of such a mass of wooden buildings,
affords an opportunity to the proprietors of the
lands in that quarter, to erect houses of a more
permanent character and thus subserve their own
interest and both improve the appearance, and
promote the salety of the city.
The loss to the city, in toe portion of the mar
ket destroyed, is considerable, estimated at-.
Several accidents of an injurious nature pre said
to have occurred. A negro man belonging to
Mr John Howard, was run over by an etigiue
and very seriously injured.
Too much praiae cannot be awarded to those
by whose active and • indefatigable exertions the
city has been saved from a wide-spread desola
tion, which from the height and direction ot the
wind, and the c<nnbustib>e materials in most of
the adjoining streets. seemed to render it inevi
tabie at one p*-riotl of the conflagration.
Several ol tl»** house* t!e*trnved belong' d to the
estate of the late Gen. C. C. Pmckopy—they
were mostly occupied as stores, lodging houses,

£ which goes to replace plains.kerseys, &.c, where
they stood before the ict.of July, 1832) the

So the Senate refused to strike out the second

Mr. Kane then moved to amend the bill bv ad

contained in this art should be construed to ex
tend to the present duties on lead in pigs, bars,
or sheets, leaden shot, red or white lead, dry or
ground in oil, sugai of lead, 4cc. &c.
Mr. Smith moved to amend the amendment
bv adding the words “ oar iron and castings of

cannon balls, shells for guns and howitzers,’’ &o.
Mr. S. said this proposition was to carry out. the
views of the Secretary of the Treasury in refer

• \i Benton then moved to amend the Bill by
adding a new -ortimi, the object *»f which was to
make a reduction of the drawback* allowed tin
I rhe exportation of articles manufactured in the
V S bum foreign materials subject to duty,
| in the 9 : ne proportion as the reduction made in

So the amendment was iejected.
I Mr Wr| gilt then moved to amend the Bill hv
' adding a section to restore the duties on coarse
| wool to the rates established bv the nill of 1828.
On this question the Yeas and Nays were or
dered, ami after an explanation from Mr
Wright, that Ins object was merely to place
i naise wool km it was placed in 1828, in conse
quence of the adoption bv this bill of a duty of 5
p--r cent, on coarse woollens, the question was
taken and decided as follows:
Yfe.AS—Mes«rs. Dudley, Hendricks, Sey

; White, Wilkin® —32.
j So the motion was negatived.
.Mr. Silsbee moved to strke nut the words
“coming from this side of i»-e Cane of Good
H >pe,” in reference to the discrimination made
in the places from whi< h silks are imported.
The motion was negatived without a division.
The bill was then reported as amended.
Mr. Dallas then moved to amend fh»* amend- {
ment made as in Committee of the Wnole, in
the third section, by striking out the wotds
which suggest the p<untto tvluch the duties snail
be ultimately reduced, to be the “revenue
necessary to an economical administration of the
| Government.”
A discussion took place on this motion, in
which it waa contended by Mr. Webster, Mr.
Dallas, Mr Dckeraon, and Mr. Buckner. th«t
these words, altho’ not so intended, might be
construed bv Southern gentlemen, t,tf
1842, as an abandonment of the protective pMii
ciple, and a design on the part o» tho*e who had
introduced this bill, to make revenue alone the
standard of all future duties on imports.
Mr Clavton and Mr.Clay regarded the language
as authorizing no such construction, and deni*
that any one would be justified in inferring that
that there was to be any abandonment ol tlie sys
tem of protection It was insisted bv Mr. Clay
ton that the Government could not be kept to
gether if the principle of protection were to be
discarded in our policy, and declared that he
would pause before he surrendeied that princa- j
pie, even to §uve the Union
>|r. Forsvth regarded the clause as an absurd*
jtv, on which an argument either for or against
protection might be erected; but as it was the on
ly absurdity which was agreeable to bun, among
the many absurdities contained iti the bill, he
would vote for it.
Mr. Holmes said a few words to restore the
Senate to good humor, quoting the juvenile bal
lad:
L“t dogs (1 1 ght t«» ba'A snd bite,
For God h is made lh< m so?
l et Sears and tigers growl and fitflit,
For ’iis their nature, too.
Hot brethren \ou should never let
Snr.li angry passion* rise,
Your rretly hands w< re never made
To leHr each olh* r»’ ev ea
The question was taken, the Yeas and Nays
bping mdered, and decided a* follows:
YKAS —Messrs. Benton. D.illas, Dickerson.
Dudley, Knight, Prentiss, Bobbin*. Sevmou«,
Silsbep, Tipton, Tomlinson, Webster, Wilkins,

NAYS.—Messrs Bell. Bibh. Bla. k. Calhoun,
Clav, Clayton, Ewing. Foot, Forsyth, Grundy,
Holmes, Johnston King. Mangum, Miller,
Moore. Nauduin. Poindexter, Hives, Troup. Ty
ler, White—22.
So the amendment was rejected.
The amendment made in Committee by inser
ting ‘’steel’* among the free articles,was not con
1 cut red in.
The other amendments were concurred in.
Mr. Webster then stated hi- intention to op
pose the bd!, on itsjjener.il prills.iple*; but tl the
Senate would take the question on the engross
men* ivtt'.ont cal I in the Yeas and *ais, be
unit'd postpone what lie bad !•» urge until the

The question w.:s then put, and tile bill was

was ordered to be pnnt.d, and 500 copies were

MEETING OF THE CITIZENS OF WASH
INGTON.
A verv numerous and highly respectable meet
ing of the citizens of Washington, convened by j
the Vl>tVor, in consequence ol Hie extraordinaiy ;
attempt made bv the Baltimore and Ohio Kad- j
road Company, to interfere with the interest# ol
this city before the Congress of the United |
States, was held at the City Hall, on Wednes j
dav evening, February, 20, 11?33
Gen. Jo i'i P Vr.iii Ness was railed to the chair,
and P*ter Force was appointed Secretary.
The following preamble and resolutions, sub
mitted by R S Coxe. Esq , were reail and con
sideredj'aud die question being taken upon eacli
separably, were unanimously adopted:
Whereas a iiiemona1 has been presented to die
Congress of die Un.ied Sla«es, by and on Uehall
of the Baltimore an I Ohio Railroad Company,
with the avowed pm pose ot inducing that body
to withhold the aid which the urgent necessities
of theeitv of. Washington have compelled it to
solicit: and whereas the failure, on the part of
the city of Washington, to compl y with the terms
of its subscription to the stock of the Chesapeake
and Oiio Canal Compauv, may involve. asMt# di
rect and immediate consequence, die forfeiture
of the instalments already paid on said subscrip
tnm to the amount of seven hundred and fifty
thousand dollars, and as the scarcely more re
mote or less certain result, the abandonment of
that noble and magnificent enterprise, and thus
involve the lo»s to the whole body of stock
holders, including as well the State of Mary
land and die United Slates, as the three
corporations of the District of Columbia, and a
large number of individuals, of the entire amount
bv them respectively paid: and whereas, in the
opinion of this meeting, the controversies which
have long subsisted, and still continue, between
the Rji!ruad Company and 'he Canal Company,
are unnecessarily and improperly ’irought tobeir
upon the application winch die city of \\ ashing
ton'tias presented for relief from its heavy p-- u
marv embarrassments: anil whereas,-this meet
ing feels an assmed confidence that should it, a>
anv time, please Congress to institute a full in
quirt into the origin and • auses of these contro
versies, and the manner and spirit with which
llirv llO'l urt*|| |I| inu ui.u u» mr y Ol III.JT » * - y. v -
lively, III** result will establish ihe fait, that
gross injustice lias been done to the Canal Com
panv aul its stockholders, by their anta
gonist, and exhibit Ihe disingenuous and de
ceptive chaiacter of the charges again ren*»v
ed in the memorial of ihe Railroad Com any:
and whereas, in c»usei|uence of th>* renewal of
these accusations befme ihe legi*latu«e of the
t nion, an opportnniiv ha* be>*n aflmded to that
hoilv to art as an impartial tribunal between the
contending pai tie*, to investigate the merit* ol
M>e dis utes which have unfortunately so long
prevailed, and to adjust, upon terms of equity
and ju*tire, tlie pretensions and rights which ei
ther mav have preferred: I’heiefoie,
He it rtudoed,
1. That i e «itifcens of the City of Washing
ton regard ihe course which lias been pursued bv
the i*nl>nad Company in this mailer, as an un
warrantable infei lerence belore Congress, with
the anp iiation presented to that body by the
Corporation of Washington
2. That we consider ihe memorial of the Rai'
road Company as equally disingenuous and de
ceptive in if* character, calculated to mislead
C .ugiess, giving a false color to the controver .
sies in which that company has involved it»e|f,
with the Canal Company, and thus to induce
Congress to withhold Ihe ielief who h tlie pecu
niary embar-assnients of ihe City of Washing
ton have compelled it to solicit
3 That, in the opi ion of this meeling, the
existence of deputes between those two rival en- ,
terprises, or the me*it* of the respective claims
and pretPnces ought, in no manner, to aft'ci l the j
application which *he City ol Washington lias,
presented to Congress
4 That, inasmuch as the Ci>v of Washington :
is but t stockholder in the suit) Canal Company, |
possessing onlv the *ame weight and influence in
i s deliberations as are enjoyed by the United
State*, no reason can be perceived why it should
be held responsible for the conduct of ihe Aid
Canal Company, even should u be mad*- to ap
pear that that Company had merited the atcusa- |
turns which have Veil preferred against it.
5. That Congress be earnestly and respectful* j
ly solicited to grant, with as little delay as pos
sible, the retief which has been prayed
6. That, entertaining an entire confidence in
the correctness of the course which ha* been pur- j
sued bv the Canal Company throughout toe uu- |
fortunate controversies in which it oas been in* j
volveil bv the acts nt the Railroad Company, and
satisfied that such would lie the result of a full
examination of the subject bv any intelligent and
impartial ti ibunal, this meeting cannot forbear re
questing Coogre»s, holding a large amount of
siock in the (’anal Company, and a» deeply int**- j
rested in the results anticipated from the sue- :
cessful accomplishment of the great work for ,
which 'hat company lias been created, to avail it* J
self of the opportunity presented by the memori
al of the Railroad Company preferring rharges
of grave import, to cause, when its convenience
will admit, a thorough investigation to h* made
into the m igin of thexaid controversies, the mode j
io which they have been conducted by the respec
tive parties, to ascertain whether either nr which
of'hem lias exhibited a want of candor, fairness, ,
liberality, or justice in its course towards the i
other; to investigate the rights and obligations of
the parties respectively. and to pronounce what '
ought to be performed by either or both on prin
ciples of law, justice, equity, and a true regard
to the public good.
7. That a commirteee of five citizens, of whom
the chairman of this meeting shall be one, be ap
pointed to draft a memo'ial in furtherance of the
foregoing-objects, and to present the same, with
a copy of these resolutions, to Congress.
The following gentlemen compose the commit
