England herself. A still larger portion is so en-
cumbered with debts due to the merchants IN the
mother country, that mortgages are held there upon
almost all the crops, which are accordingly trans
mitted to England. In short, such is the weight
and pressure Of the debts due upon the plantations
that the income is drained to supply the English
creditor, and nothing remains for transportation
elsewhere than to the mother country. In conflr-
nation of this fact, we have the authority OF most
respectable American merchant who has been re-
siding in one Of West india Islands, and has re-
turned since the operation Of the act of Parliament
commenced. He states that op the 5th OF January,
1926, notice was given to the commanders OF seye-
raj American vessels then in port, that they would
be permitted 10 clear out for any part OF the world
EXCEPT Great Britain. Not one OF them made use
of the permission nor, he SAYS, would one OF them
during the year. And why not For the simple
reason that cargo cannot be procured for any 9th
er part of the world except Great Britain; and
there they cannot 20. Thus, then, it will be seen
that this great magnanimity on the part OF GIeat
Britain consists in rendering to us trade which
by the circumstances Of .thc colonies themselves is
la perfect nuity and requiring from us IN return
for such erfreme iiberality the enjoyment OF per-
feet and effective commerce. We trust that nell
ther the people nor the government of this country
will be gulled by so palpabe an artlfice. We re-
auire but fair and honorable recprocty we ask no
avor; we claim no privileges for which we are un
willing to give an equivalent; we would be will
ling TO sacrifice something to remove this bone OF
contention; but we would not submit to sacrifice the
dignity and honor of the country to accept the in
estimable oHer Of nu'luy as a boon journal.

TREASURY OF THE UNITED STATES.

II will be recollected that Mr.. Rush (Secretary
of the Treasury and Mr.. M'Lane Chairman OF
the Congressional Committee OF Ways and Mcans)
differed in their statements OF the amount appilca
Bile to the redemption of the public debt IN 1870
and 1927. The discrepancy was So,o4S, i9o-a
sum so enormous that it seemed to shake the Iaith
of the public in all financial calculations. The
enemies of Mr.. Rush made it a matter OF great
triumph relying upon the reputation OF Mr.. NJ
Lane, they took it for granted that the Secretary
was in error.
Mr.. Rush submitted in utter silence to their
injurious and unfounded imputations At last
however, the error is discovered to be in the report
of the Committee; and Mr.. M'Lane is forced to
acknowledge it. And then he complains that the
Secretary g exhibited too much sensitvcness when
expositions Of the state of the Treasury are made
This nsinuation, and the talk about the "tiourlsh
Of trumpets," may, may not, for any thing we
know, apply to those who successfully yncicated
the correctness of the Secretary's report; but to
apply such remarks to himself, when it was known
that he had in every way forborne to vindca,e
himself when he could have done it SO easily and
so trumphantly-is not exactly what might have
been expected from Mr.. MLane.
The notorious Fledericksburgh conventions, and
other members of the jackson Combination,' =
have attempted to raise an alarm about the state
of the Treasury. We see daily so many speci-
mems Of candor and fair dealing from the same
quarter, that we shall make no extra remarks
about that piece of imposition, but shall proceed
to state what the condition of the Treasury is, and
what it has been for the last eight years.

AWFUL FIRE AT NORFOLK /!
HERALD OFFICE, NORFOLK,

Friday, March 9-6, A. M.
II has become our painful task to record another
most destructive visitation Of our unfortunate town
by ire which broke out this morning, at half past
one o'clock, in small shell of building South side
OF Main street, few PAGES East of Church street
occupied as whcelwrisht shopby Mr.. E. Balance.
The building was in blaze before it was discover.
ed, and the tenants of the large frame house be-
longing to the heirs of David Patterson, forming
the ). r. corner of Main and Church street, were
not apprzed of their danger until the flames had
communicated to it, such was the rapidty Of their
progress owing to the dryness of the weather, and
a strong S. +. wind.

Immediately opposite the fire, we're also very com
bustbe. The exertions Of the fire companies sue.
ceeded in preserving them. But it is beyond the
power OF our pen to describe the scene which pre-
sented itself when the flames had risen to their
height, in the second building. The wind, which
seemed to have increased in violence. whirled the
sparks and flakes of fire to an immense distance,
descended like drifting snow, which, literally COW
ering the shingled roofs of the houses to lecward
seemed to defy all human power to save them from
confagrat,on. Several times were some of the
most combustible OF them on fire, but as often ex-
hngulsheti by the active exertions of our hardy fire.
men. At length, it was perceived that fake had
lodged on the ample and elevated roof of Christ
Church, (about two hundred and fifty Yards to lee
ward Of the fre) and kindled into blaze. The hose
OF one OF the fire companies was Immediately sent
to extinguish it-but, alas too late. The FIRE had
penetrated into the vacancy between the yaulted
ceiling and the ridge pole, and there was no means
OF ascent within the church--the stream of water
could not reach it from without; and before lad
der of sufficient length could be obtained, the fire
had spread the whole length of the roof and burs!
forth IN terrific grandeur.
The buildings between Main street and the
church, within the parallels Of Church and Fen
Church streets, were now considered out of dam
ger; but those beyond the church, within the same
parallel it appeared to be beyond all human powes
to save The elegant mansion of Walter Heron
Esq. half mile, at least from the original seat Of
the fre, had caught about the same time, and in the
same manner as the Church. Believing his prem

ASSISTANCE to those who were Immediately threat

was not a male person on the lot. We regret 70
add, that his house was burnt to the ground, and

sian and aids remembrance. The socia
tendency Of this plan, makes the schoOlroom
a place desirable 10 the pupils. They de-
light to assemble where the acquisition Of
knowledge is made so pleasant, and social.
The habits of intimacy and affection which
are thus induced. operate favorably upon the
moral character.
The system of government is strictly NOR
al and Intellectual. Authority eliminates from
the scholar; the instructor operating only up
on the public sentiment. No corporal pun
shments are inflicted. The love of re-
spect and dread of contempt, are made the
principal sources Of appeal. Offences are
adjudged by the pupils and the consent Of
the majority in all cases determines result.
The great object of Mr.. C's. exertions, is
directed to Morals. To develope and direct
the moral feelings is the moving spring of his
system. And the result of his labOurs has
thus far been very fattering. The correct
department, the attention, the pleasure de-
picted upon the countenanCes Of his pupils,
indicate the interest which the instructor has
ingcniously thrown around their studies. The
familiar, aifecti0nate. though at the same time
dignifed style of address, on the part of the
instructor, ELECTS their feelings, and renders
the school room the abode of happiness
place, which next to the domestic circles of
home, is most to be desired.--Let parents
impressed with the importance of the right
government of children, spend at least an af-
ternoon in the school Of Mr.. C. and witness
the influence of kind of government, which,
though at present little understood, and still
less practised, would, if general, give new
and alluring aspect to the moral and intellect
ual world. A TEACHER.
