NASHVILLE, June I9.

 Yesterday morning, 18th inst. about

 two o'clock, our town was alarmed by the breaking out of fire in the roof of that spacious and noble edi6ce, the Cry HorEL, situated on the North

 East side of the Public Square, belong ing to the Nashville Bank, and occu- Ipied by Capt. James Ednondson. This fextensive commodious, and elegant bnllding, the pride and ornament of our town, erected for the special accommo- ton of travellers and strangers, at an expense of no less than forty thousand dollars s"ssaas soon enyeioped in flames.

 and all it's cembustible parts were at length entirely consumed. Fortunate ly, the atmosphere was remarkably calm, and the destruction was confined

 to the Hotel in which the fire originated and to a nelghboring small log building. which was very properly pulled down

 to stop the progress of the flames.

 The fire is supposed to have been |occasioned by carelessness in some ser want who probably took a candle into

 the garret, and fell asleep without ex- tinguishing it. We have not heard of ! its being traced to any known fact, but

 from it's commencing in the roof, such is presumed to have been the cause.

 The building was uninsured, and we fear. unless the walls, as seem isapreb- able after enduring such intense heat. are fit to rebuild upon, that its place will not very soon be supplied. We

 are confident that another building. equally valuable, spacious, and well adapted to the purposes of an exten- sive hotel, will not again be erected.

 The late edifice indeed was not proba- bfy surpassed by any similar establish.

 naefit fls the " estern country, either as

 Tt regards size, elegance or conven- |ience. The loss ofasuch building is .

 very serious calamity, no! only to the

 proprietors, and occupants, but to the
