The insur? ance only amounts to $524,000; nearly all in English compuaios, Notices have been promptly given that all insurances will be paid on the 18th instant. Owing to the rapidity with whioh the flames spread, very little property was saved. In less than three hoars from tbo time the fire broke out, the entire square was a mass of ? ruins. Upwards of 2,500 people, who occupied the buildings, are homeless, and nearly all lost everything. Great distress prevails among them, and numerous subscriptions have been started for their'relief. A large amount has already been raised. Baltimore, September 10.?

NecesBary to elect United States Senator, 61. Many of the Republicans reoentjy olected are anti-railroad men, and are in favor ol Booth for Senator. Assuming that the latter will be supported by part of the hold-over Senators, his friends claim confidently that his strength from the start will be much greater than can possibly be combined for any other candidate.

United States Steamship Jcniata, St. John's, Newfoundland, September 10, 1873.?To Hon. Geo.< M. Kobeaon, Secretary of the Navy, Washington: The Jcniata arrived to-day. She met the Tigress at Upernairk and coaled her. She sailed August 11 for Littleton Island. The Tigress met the Juuir.ta steam launch, Lieut. DeLong, off Tes saisak, who had been to Cape York on tho launoh and returned. At Disco met1 the Tigress again, and coaled her. Au gnat 25, Commander Greer reports the camp of the Polaris ?pund, August 14, off Littleton Island; latitude 78 de? grees 28 minutes North; longitude 73 degrees 46 minutes. The crew of the Polaris all well; had gone South two months before, in two whale boats, ? madt^??v)^e ahlp ^oIs>ijb# which sank oua muntj^ after; kept a oarefal lookoat going North aud oomiug Sooth; no signs; stopped" ;at all settlements; no cews; tue craw'?f; tho Polaris was pro? bably on board of tbe wbaler from Cape York. Tho Tigrfliw>lrft DIijcr> August 25 for Labrador const, to. contiuue the 1 search as long as coal and seaeou oer mite. (Signed) P. L. BRAINE,* Commander United States Navy. Tbe above despatch was received to? day from Commander Bruine, command? ing the Juuiata. Littleton Island re? ferred to is about sizty rsiloa Noith of Northumberland Island, where tbe party rescued from the Polaris supposed they had left her. It is a little South of the life-boat depot of Dr. Kane in 1853, The probability is, that the Tyson party were mistakon as to the locality of their separatiou from the Polaris, aud that it was really Littleton, instead of North? umberland Island. It is hardly possible that after the separation, the Polaris, in her disabled condition, succeeded in any way ic reaching a poiut sixty miles fur? ther North. It is understood that orders were sent by telegraph to Commander Braiue to continue the search for the crew of the Polaris. WoitCESTEit, Mass , September 10 ? Loriug called the Conveutiou to order.

Scaling tub South Carolina Debt, The Columbia correspondent of the Itews and Courier says: An effort, I learn, is certainly to be made to scale the debt, and tho scheme j will be strongly urged by the Governor in his message. The plan reoommended, it is said, will be tbe one mentioned in one of my previous letters as being1 most strongly favored by Patterson. This is, that tbe wholo debt, 316,000, 000, or, with accrued interest, say $18, 000,000, mast be scaled proportionately to the present value o* the different classes of bonds. To explain, I will as? sume for instance that there ie now out? standing ?6,000,000 of the nnqnestion-| ably valid debt, quoted in New York at 32! ?'; scaling this double the present value, winch would bo 65 cents, we would have a new debt of ?3,000,000 in place of the (Id $6,000,000. Taking tbe bulauce of the debt, aboat $12,000,000 at uu average of 17 }? as its present value, and doubling it so as to make 35, we would have a new debt of $1,200,000; thus making a total now debt of abont 33,000,000. The Attorney-General says that I misrepresented him when writing upon this" .subject before iu statiug that he favored uu indiscriminate scale of ?fty per cent. Ho claims to be an ad? vocate, aud I believe oae of tbe origi? nators, of tho proportional plan. Twenty Fiiist Session of Koanoke College.?Yesterday, the exercises of the twenty-first session of Roanoke College opened under the most encou? raging auspices. The number present is the largest ever known ou the first day of the session. Already young gou tlemen ure iu attendance from about fifteen States and Territories, with the prospect of a much larger representa? tion. Every train brings new arrivals and coulirms the opinion that this will be tbe most prosperous session iu tbo history of the College. We rejoice to record this gratifying evidence of the widening influence ut this institution, which so well merits a liberul patronage. It deserves this ull tbe more because its expenses have been reduced to suit tbe times. Tho small sum of $200 will pay tho necessary expenses of a ten mouths' session. We advise all young meu to examine its advantages, us set forth iu the annual catalogue, which may be ob? tained on application to the President. [Roanoke Times, (Salem, Va .) 4fA.
