Captain Lane, arrived at Boston, furnishes the following account of a destructive fire at St. Thomas; "On the 12th February, fire at St. Thomas laid about 4 or 500 houses in ashes, and about 100 stores, of all descriptions, in the west of the town. Property, to a large amount, was destroyed, and hundreds, tvho arose in the morning rich and independent, were before noon, destitute, the fire being so rapid, with a strong gale, that little property was saved form its fury." Private letters state, that about half the town was destroyed, and five hudred families rendered houseless. The destruction was by the spirited exertions of the officers and crew of the U. States' schooner Grampus, andt he(Ameri( a s in the portarrested. It waas certained that the calamity was occasioned by a silly trick of a superstitious old woman to detect a theft. I Golden luck.
