The large Clock Factory cfCHAUEcET JERosdE, Esq. at BristOl (Ct) took fire yesterday siterncOno and was totally consumed. The fire eommenceds we are informed, in the packing department, Sup- posed to have been ignited by spark from ths

 furnace, and the combustible materials gave t such

 sudden spread se io mock all efforts to cheek it.. This vas the largest nnd best establishment of the kind in this county, or sy other. having bad the honor of supplying even methss Enelahd with time-keepers, cheaper and better than shs could make herself. ThelOss, we are told, is about i3,- 900 dollars. Insured at the Etna oRce. Hartford, for 10 900 dollars.

 Besides this establishment Mir. Jerome has an extensive one in this city, so that his business will not be suspended. A large number of workmen, however. will probably be thrown out of employ, and "from him that hath not will be taken away even that which he hath"--.M H. Herald.

 <, @ The New Haven Palladium states on tke au. thorfty of Mfr Jerome, that his extensive Clock ess ta6lishment, recently destroyed by fire iii Bristol Will not be rebuilt there, but that he will supply the loss by connection with his factory in that cifys and that he has already contracted fors ths erection of new buildings which will ,be anead,iv completed, The withdrawal of his capital andd means of employment from Bristol will be a seri- ous loss to that town, but we hope other capital. ists may come in and fill the vacancy Bristol is an anenterprising and prosperous town and possesses advantages for manufacturing enjoyed by few oth- ers.-- COtvGnt.

 RAISING THE WIND-We learn that the phn. nix Bank of Hartford was few days since reley. ed of 1000, by an individual who left as colate. ral security package which he represented to con. tain large amount of broken bank bills. and to have been sealed by the State Comptroller. He said he would open the package, were it not that by so doing the bills would cease drawing interest He however made smal. opening at one end sulfi. cient to show that bank bills were within. The bank officers, having some knowledge of the man. were induced to believe his story, and gave him bills of theft own bank to the above amount. which he said he wanted to circulate in Ohio. The lone and short of the matter is, that circumstances hay ing thrown suspicion upon the transaction. the package was opened and found to contain little else than waste paper; the few bills included in it. be- ing of small denominations. A requistion has been obtained from Gov. Baldwin of Connecticut, upon the Governor of Ohio, of New York, or both, for the surrender of the accused. r
