FIRE AND LOSS OF LIFE. A Bakery, No 224,
Broadway, New York, took fire on Saturday
night Oct. 9, and was entirely DESTROYED, to-
gether with between and 300 barrels -four, and
other stock, and nine other buildings fronting
on the Bowery, and Elizabeth streets Some
injury was done to the fronts of several houses
on Prince street. But what renders this more
particularly disastrous, is, that four mon, en-.
ployed in the bakery, were burnt to death. 1t
is supposed they were asleep at the time the
fire commenced, and the flames spread with
such .raPidty, that they were enveloped in
them before they had time to escape

stroyeu with Its contents, on the evening of the
9th INST. The fire took by the accidental falling
OF a lamp into heap of oiled wool, and the flames
spread so rapidly that nothing was saved. Even
'ne wafer wheel was destroyed. The walls of the
Ouiiuing were of stone. The front fell in; the
o''ef three sides remain standing. From the fac
Tory the flames were communicated to another
building, and to pile containing 100 cords of drv

SWEET PoTAToEs. This incompatible vego-
table, which, 1t was thought, not many years
since, could not be cultivated north of the ca
ronas has been gradually working its way
northward, till it has become one of the prin-
clpal crops of the lower parts of New JERSEY.
and is considerably cultivated in Long Island
Experiments, which we witnessed some wears
since, induced us to believe that it mirht event.
uaiiy become acclimated in New England, and,
on suitable SOIL become valuable and pro-
duetive crop. The result of some experiments
the present year go to strengthen this belief.
The Editor of the New England Farmer savs.
that he has received quantity of sweet pota-
toes raised by Abel Houghton, ir. of Lynn,
: OF shape, size and quality, which will vie
with any brought from the Southern S,ates.''
The cultivater OF these potatoes says of them.
that " they are part of eight bushels CATER re-
Jecting the small ones) that he raised this sea.
son from six quarts of the slips procured from
Mr.. }. b. Russell's Seed Store last spring. The
slips were started in hot bed, as thew are very
apt to rot IN the ground otherwise, and not yeg-
etate. They were planted in hills; in each Hill
was previously put half bushel of sand, and
half bushel of loan mixed, with no manure
and otherwise were cultivated like common
potatoes He adds, " | consider the culture of
sweet potatoes, when well understood, as of
less trouble in New England than the common
potatoe, and more profitable TO raise avon cor
swine and stock. Their flavor, when raised in
proper soil, is equal to any brought from the
Southern States"
Inc Editor of the Farmer says, he has also
received box of sweet potatoes from E. Ed
wards, Esq of Springfield, who raised six bu,b-
els from four quarts of slips-his method of cuI-
ture wasessentially similar to that Of Mr.
t1onghton, and was pursued with an equally
satisfactory result.

! But let US, for moment take a view of the
consistency of these brave and intrepid Null6ers.
Two years ago, General Hayne and Col. Ham.
iton were invited to the great anti-tariff dinner.
given at this place to DIR. M'Duiie They at.
tended and were invited to speak. 1t was not
unconstitutional then for man to speak out of
his own district. Two years ago these same men
were for Gen. Jackson-but now, they abuse the
old soldier, and say he has less influence than
any President we have ever had. Two years AGO
these men were opposed to State Rights; but all
of sudden they have tackled about, and declare
themselves the exclusive friends of State Rights.
One of these wise men, or as they are sometimes
called new lights, mot blue lights,) stated in his
speech ON Saturday, that the whole revenue svs.
TEN was unconstitutional! What fortunate dis
covery! We can now bring suit against the U.
States, and recover back all the money we have
paid into the public treasury since the adoption
OF the Federal Constitution. This law suit, and
the suit of the castom house bonds, will give en-
ployment to our lawyers, whose returns am
told are becoming pretty lean. 1t Is to be re-
GREETED, that they could not find job for the
doctors, who are also on the starving order. But
five can have stump OF war, then the Doctors
vii, come in for snacks.
But it is no longer to be disguised, that the
Nulliiers have embarked in a most desperate
crusade, in which are interested all the fierce and
angry elements winch result from dsappoint-
ment and from hatred. We are in possession of
their plans, and will watch their movements.
Two-thirds of the people are against them. The
friends of The Constitution and the Union will
triumph.

some person of the Union Party will be brought
out as a candidate for Governor, in opposition to
