TUCKER'S CELEBRATED before four o'clock, the fine frame hotel building, known as the Pacific, on the corner of Second aud Washington, owned by J. IS. Spreuger, Esq., was discovered to be on fire, aud in a very brief time thereafter- was a heap of smoldo;ing ruins. This is the second time within two years that Mr. Sprcnger has suiYered loss of a Iwtel by fire on the same spot of grouud. Owing to the extraordinary ex ertions of the members of our new Fire Conipany-r-who have not, as yet, been furnished with the necessary apparatus to extinguish conflagrations, aud the help of many citizens, a largo portion of the furniture, beds and bedding, was 6aved, and many ot the doors and window sash were secured and removed to a place of safety. We must do our boys the justice to say that we never saw men go int3 the business of having property with more zeal and persevering industry, than was exhibited by them on Thursday morning. They went at the work with the coolness and deliberation of old fire idcd, without noise or coufusion, and continued to work as loner as there was debt. JOHN -SMITH. Albany, Feb.

B.VKROWS. the lailinsr timbers, iutense heat and dense, suffocating smoke, drove thorn from the devoted building. Considerable alarm was manifested by persons living in close proximity to the Pacific for the safety of their dwellings, but as the wind was not very hu;h, and blankets were hung on the exposed por tions of the buildings and kept wet with water, little or no damage was done out Kide of the complete destruction 01 the Pacific and its outbuildings. The hotel and buildings attached cost something over 17,000. we are inform ed, and this, together with the destruc tion of furniture, etc., will bring the total loss up to sous 818,000 or 20,000. There was aa insurance on the building of 810,000. The fire first made its appearance iu the floor and the petition between the reading and dining rooms, about the centre of the building, from whence the flames spread rapidly all over the build ing. It is asserted by several who reached the scene of the conflagration in its ear liest stage, that an efficiently orgauized "bucket company" could have concpuered the flames in a few minutes, had they been on the ground. We are satisfied that had our boys been in possession of the engine they have been- asking the City Council for ever : since the com mencement of the new year, the Pacific Hotel and contents would have been saved, with but a very small loss. Whose fault is it, then, that the build ing was not saved, and that an enterpris ing, hard-working citizen, who has 'in vested all his means in erecting a hotel that was an ornament to our city, and the best and completest hotel building in the State, i3 to-day comparatively a beg gar ? . Had the wind been from the opposite quarter Marshall's stable would have caught, and the flame3 would have been communicated to the stores on Front street, and the entire destruction of the business portion of our city would have been accomplished on Thursday morning. The destruction of the Pacific will be seriously felt by the traveling community it is a loss that our city could illy af ford, and we fear that it will be long ere its place will be supplied. The general opinion seems to prevail that the fire was the work of some das tardly incendiary. We would - suggest that an ample reward be offered by the city authorities to be increased, if nec essary, by a purse raised among our citizens, for the apprehension and con viction of the party or parties guilty of such damnable wickedness. Hanging is entirely too good for such villains. Owing: to the absence of our regular "corpso,"; during the week, "we" have been compellod to act in the capacity of devil, editor, pressman, fireman," etc.J which has so fully occupied our time that we haven't been able to "localize" ary onct. their proper;-", ter. That's whuVs the mat- ) Railroad Matters. Xews comes from Salem that the East Side Company offurs to connect onto Albany, provided the citizens will take stock iu the road to the amount of 830,000. The Albany town proprietors, Messrs. Walter and Thomas MonUith, have agreed to take $10,000 worth of the stock, leaving $20, 000 to be raised by citizens, which, we arc assured, has or will be taken imme diately. Hurrah for the cars. We haveu't learned whether Mr. Abe Hack Ionian has taken stock in the railroad, but suppose if ho has not he will. Explained. The reason given us by members of the city council why our new fire company have not been furnished with an engine long since, is in the fact that several of our most influential and heaviest property holders have strenu ously opposed the measure from the be giviug. After the disaster of Thurs day morning, we venture the assertion that there is not a man to be found in the city who thinks we can do without an engine, and who is not willing to be tascd to aid in its purchase. Accidkntally Shot. A lad named George Elliott, tho son of 31 r. J. M. El liott, late a resident of this count-, at present a rcsldeut of Mendocino county, California, accidentally shot himself with i a pistol, in that county, on the Sth inst.
