The message contains all the- coxteepondenee between the British Minister M& F » x , the Secretary of State , Mr . Forsyth , ana the Governor of Maine , in reference to the occupancy of a portion of
the Maine disputed territory by British troops . At the suggestion of Messrs . Ruggles and Williams , portions oftheeorxespondencew * neread—m , the letters of Mr . Fox and Mr . Foray th , each-complaining that the stipulations entered into by General Scott and Lieutenant-General Sir John Harrej had been violated , both by the State of Maine and the British authorities . With respect to the oecspancy of the boundary by the British troera ^ Mr . Psi excuses the act from the circumstantial evidence , which was nothing m < is than common rumour , that Maine intended to violate the agreement made in March last between the Lieutenant-Government of New Brunswick and the Governot of Maine , through the agency of General Scott . This mtnouB Mr . Fox thinks is corroborated by General Faicfield ' s recent message to the Legislature of M&ine . Mr . Forsyth , of coarse ,
considers the act of mareain& British troop * perfectly inexcusable , and he pMBonnces it an infraction of the agreement between the two Governments . Mr . Fox says , in ragW ,. taat he has asked the advice of bis Government . Mr . Forsy th rejoins , that he feels confident the British Government wiil consider the possession ! a violation of the agreement ,, and command the withdrawal of the troops . So ends the matte * .. "" The correspondence between the Secretary of State and the British Minister , though respectful and dignified , betrays , " says the Washington coareapoadent of the Daily Express , "some feeling . A very little breeze would fan the embers into a blaze-. Rumour even now speaks of discord , bitterness , &c , but without the least show of authority . " Fife thousand extra , copies of the message were ordered to be printed .
Gbbas Fire at Wiuunotoh ( N . C . )—wha a . heavy heart we sit down to the task of making . & brief record of one of the most disastrous fires witfi which our devoted town has ever been visited . At about two o ' clock this morning the alanm sonnded , and proved to proceed from the store occupied by John Dawson , at the north-east comes of the Court-house . The Court-house itself waB soon on fire , as were also the buildings adjoining Mr . Dawson ' s . The flames progressed thence , with terrific 'fury , in an easterly and northerly diristion of the square in which the fire , originated , and ia a westerly direction . The progress of the fire wq&t&en
in every direction from a common centre ^ sooth , howerer , nothing was burnt but the Court-heoss * In other . directions indicated , n < Lfrsmers coald beintetpo * ftd until the two squares wiMediatelf Jto'Shwe 3 t and North-east of the Court House wag entirely destroyed , with the exception of the Bank of Cape Fear and two small honsea next North of it , on the former square , and three brick buildings on the North-west aDgle of the latter . The whole number of buildings destroyed is about 150 , including the office of the Advertiser and Chronicle , the Custom House , and the Clarendon and Roston ' s Hotels .
A great deal of goods and furniture were got out of the houses and stores , although the Io 3 s of property of those kinds is immense , alany of the buildings on these two square * were among the most valuable hi town , and on these two was done , probably , three-fourths of the business of the place . We have heard no critical eetimatea of the aggregate loss , but are inclined to think it will sum up to nearly 500 , 000 dollars . What portion is insured is unascertained . Thus has Wilmington received another blow to her prosperity , that many years will not serve U recover her from .

J (* n Adamson , ship ' s carpenter of the Tyrian , states that he remained en deck , in company of Clarke , on the night in question until ek ven o'clock , when he went into the forecastle and turned into his berth , which was on the larboard side , and went to sleep . He believed that Mr . Sheen had : fallen asleep on one of the lockers , an'l the other parties who had perished were in their berths on the atarboard side . He was awakened by the noise of the collision , and saw the water rushing in in a frightful manner . He made the best of his way to tbe hatchway stairs , hut before he had reached the top he was up to his knees in water , and ethers of the
crew were following him . If he had slept on th » starboard side instead of the larboard , he had no doubt he should have shared the fate of those who perished , as the whole of that side of the forecastle was stove in- ; and his impression was tliat they were either crushed to pieces by the bows of the steamer , or suffocated at once by tbe mass of water rushing in upon them without the possibility of , extricating themselves . He was certain they had never come out of the cabin , and he believed their bodies to be there still . Thornton , the chief mate , states that he was aaleep in the afterpart of the vessel , when he was awakened by a tremendous crash , which he at first imagined was an explosion of gunpowder , there being three barrels on board . He instantly jumped up and ran on deck in his
night drees , and the first person he saw was the Captain ' s wife , ' Mrs . Cunningham , in her bed gown . She appeared ia » distaujjid state of mind , and on fleeing him exclaimed , " OttWvena , Thornton , what ' s amisa 3 " To which he replied , " We ire either blown up or blown down ; " hat perceiving that the V < Mel was filling and pitching _ bead fyrempat to the bottom , he exclaimedto her , « Beath stares us in our . facea ; you must get into thit jolly boat , which is your inly chance for life . " Mrs . Cunningham flinched back , iud aaid " Where ' s Cunningham ? " To which he ( Thornton ) replied , to pacify her , that be was in the boat , although he was aware he had not yet come on deck . He then , with great difficulty , laid hold of her node ? the arms , and forced her into tbe boat , into which he got himself , and was followed by the captain and a portion of the crew . At the moment the vessel went downjhe knew th © jolly boat was secured to th » rigging by the painter , but he
had not a kuife to cut it , aud they were all pitched head foremost into the water . On coming up he found that he was under the boat , which had turned bottom upwards , and ho was obliged to dive again to get clear of it . He then made for the rigging , on getting hold of which he also saw the captain swimming towards it , and Mn , Cunningham , some distance off , struggling in the water . She sank twice , and was sinking the third time when the watermen came up , and one of them thrust dovrn hia oar and caught her by the ann , and succeeded in getting her into the boat The waterman then « ame to the wreck and took up him and others , at whicb time Mrs . Cunningham lay in the boat apparently a cewpse . He had lost everything he was u > possession of , - « &ioh he valued at £ 120 , aa likewise bod been the case with the rest of the craw , and had no elsthes on when * brought on shore , excepting his ahirt . No assistance wu * rendered them by the crew of the steamer .
Captain Cunningham states that he went to bed at nine o ' cie « fc , and was awake shortly before one o ' clock by bis wilfe , who drew hi * , attention to the shouting on deck by Clarke before the collision took place . He immediatelya / ter Heard a loud crash , but did not think much of 8 * at finC Mrs . Cunningham got out of bed , and he followed her , heariiu ; the water rushing dovrn stairs , and } . « m getting on dtak , he saw what had taken place .

BRADFORD .-On Monday , it two ^ cleck * meeting was held at White Hill , Bradford ,-WlU « , when Mr . William Potts was unanimooslycalled Ib > the chair , and having briefly explained the object of the meeting , called on Mr . R . Mealing , late member of the Convention , to move the first resolution . Mfc Mealing then came forward , and said he did not mean to occupy much of their time , but would saj it gave him great pleasure to see his fellow-countrymen so much alive to the ease of Mr . Frost and hia fellow-sufferers , and it was for them to say whether , after the decision of the Judges ia their favour , they were to allow them to be transported , to satisfy tb » capricious dispositions of a crafty and selfish Ministry . ( Cries of •* No , no . ") He said no . no .
also . They were entitled to an acquittal , and as they had no faith in the Government , he would therefore more that an address fee presented to her Majesty the Qneen . Mr . M . then read the memorial recommended at the delegate meeting , from tba > Northern Star * and retired amid loud cheers . The Chairman then called on Mr . William Pearce to second the address . Mr . Pearce then came forward amid loud cheers , and commenced by observing h » had that day responded to the call of his fellowmen ; he was fully aware of the position in which h « thea stood , and notwithstanding the assaults ha might meet wjth from friend or foe , he should indeed be a coward did he not advocate the cam in question . It was a ^ case of humanity , justice , and
mercy , and demanded the sympathy and exertions of all those who pmed . and in any degree professed , to be Christians . He ( Mr- P . ) knew Mr . Frost , and could say that he always condemned any inttamttatory language , or excitement to physical force . The unfortunate affair at Hewpori fully confirmed that opinion , for had the intention of these men been to destroy property , as- asserted by some croaking agents of anarchy , where would the towa ef Newport and the Westgate , with its courageous inmates * , hare been ! Not a ifeg l * particle of property was set on fire or damaged by the exasperated multitude , beyond the castle in which the Pantry Kntght sheltered himselfl ( Hear , hear . ) He was s » rry to say that the intentions of persons professing to be Chartists , had been- misrepresented to the authorities of Bradford , andlia an interview , he ( Mr . P . ) had with the rector an * resident
maststrate on . Ssaturday , previous to any requisition being signed , he thought he should have had som * difficulty io having a peaceable meetia ? , as the bigmouthed baker had sworn to disturb * { by the assistance of other worthies , ) their peaceable meeting . Tha magistrate said the meeting was perfectly legal , and he should" not interrupt it ; but should send persons to take any party into custody who night bratk . 4 kepeace ; it was not publio meetings that ^ e objected to , or the men of Bradford meeting together by themselves ; but it was the secret Meetings , the organizing , of the men nnder marshals of hundreds , and fifties , Ac ., classes of tens with their leaders , which organizing - had extended itseWfrom Laud ' s

CARlIStr . DESPICABLE CONDUCE OF ' THE MAYOR AND CORPORATION , AND DELIBERATE FALSEHOODS OF THE CARLISLE JOURNAL * . We havebefore noticed the ^ disgraceful conduct of the Mayor and Corporation in respect to denying the use of the Town Hall to the people , althodgh this same party , when out of office , made the strongest protestations against the undue power exercised by the Tory party , and insisted on the right of the peoplp to meet in " iheir own Town // o //; " aud now , when they have the power of granting it , they not only refuse it to the Radical party , ( whose aid and money tliey required whilst they were seeking for power and emolument , ) but also grossly belie their mtentiODs and misrepresent their conduct . CARMSUT .
An application was made to the Mayor a short tune ago , for the use of the Town Hall to hold a public meeting , in behalf of Frost , Williams , and Jones , whose lives were not then saved . This request was peremptorily refused , and even the use of the steps infront of the hall was denied . Thus the people were driven to hold their meeting out ofthe town , in one of the most damp and exposed situations ; whilst the very men the people placed in power were snugly assembled in the Town Hall , voting a most fulsome , disgusting , and sacrilegious address to her Majesty ; and the people , who were n » et for a nobler and better purpose , were exposed to the " pelting of the pitiless storm .
* T . He loyal address to the Queen was passed as the sddreVKof the Mayor , Corporation , and burgesses , whereas the meeting was announced as that ofthe Mayor and Corporation only ; and though there might be \~ vbout one hundred and fifty persons present , there were only one or two hauds held up for it among : the burgesses . We had hoped that their gross inconsistency and injustice would have stopped here ; but no , th « y have , during the last few days , been guilty of a still greater detinqooncy , for on an application being made to thevtby the anti-Corn Law Association , for the use of tJw couucil chamber to hold their meetings , the Mayor vobaerved— " / have always thought it my duty , a # Afap > or , to grant the use of the } Hall f » n any orderlV 0 r neaceable discussion , and that na
j >* rty \ ought iff be excluded , unless there might be ; danger or impropriety in their proceedings ; and he hoped the Counsil agreed with him in refusing the If all to ihom pa , 'ties who had lately applied faritj ' ' More gross and 1 deliberate lying ( for we cannot me milder language in . defence of ourselves and party ) was never befbro tittered by the most reckless aad irreligious character . What ! will the Mayor acdattiossly tell us thafronv object was not of a proper and peaceable nature , . and that there was danger in om meeting ia > tw \ Town Halll Was our meeting not conducted pea * oably , and that , too , under the most exasperating ana aggravating circuowtaacea ! Have n # * iall » our meetings been so condaeted I The MayoriiiraaeYf must answer in the affirmative . Then why ^ . we ai k , has he dared to make such nnwarrantabiennsian ations ? Simply to give a- colouring to his gross ioeoi isistency , in granting the-use ef the hall to *« 9 port y at the exclusion of another .
We v&nB aoi so much aetonialiec 1 at the Mayor ' s inconsistsnoy , knowing , an we do , ttat his iuteresta are closely allied with' a rc \ > eal of tile Corn Laws . ( 3 ^ the bye were lofetoe 1 vorkmeis of the firm to which < this gentlemen belowgs , prolUbited from read-isg the Northern -Star—wl lile th& Anti-Corn Law * Circular has been freeVy distributed amongst thtom ?> As that of seme ot the Coanoil , who were th » greatest clamouiare agaii , 'Bt the indue influence of the old Corporation ; and who diiall in their powen to insult , abuse , . and injure thetnmen who ba *^ talked and wrota-delibei ately at » ut "Kings heads-rolling on the eotfiold •( which was held out as a threat to King William V-who advis « d

Mr .
