CosFLAcRAT1oN AT BUFFALO. From the Bn8ato Journat, Eatra---Nov. 15.
 A large portion of il,e city of Buffalo IS HOW d mass of smoking runs. The greatest fire ever known 10 our inlabi- lants since the town was burnt by the British, occurred last night. About $ o'clock, in the evening, the two story wooden building, near the Exchange Buildings, on Main street, unoecupied aid locked. was discovered to he on fire, and lhe whole block from the Ex- change Buildings 10 Scneca-street, tilro' 10 Pearl, inclusive, vas consumed with astonishing rapidity.
 From the west, the fire was commu- nieated to the east side of Main street, the north side oi Seneca, on the west of Main, and to inc Buffalo House. north east corner oi Main, and Seneca, and
 for time the whole city was threatened with destruction, but a fortunate change of the wind, and tie new and fire proof wall of MT. Finer, on the one corner. and the power oi the engines on the other, checked il en the north side of Seheea-street, with little damage. and it spea. it's fafj upon ttAe h!eel. below, and part of tie adjoining block Gil tie east side Of Washirgton-streei. Property to the amount of Sl50,0G0 is destroy ed, and sce!.es of distress bet. ter imagined than described, follow in it's train.
 In addition 10 the estimate We have made, there is a great waste of pro perty by removals from stores and dwcl- lings which were threatened, and the depredations of plunderers are almost Incredible. Cur jalis filled with them, and more are under examination before the justices.
 There is no doubt but il Is the work oi an incendiary, and it is remarkable that this calamity has occurred on the annis ersary ol the great fire three years ago.
 Immediate arrangements should be made to afford relief to the houseless poor, and whatever distress one disas. ter after another has brought upon our devoted city, it is to he hoped our in- habitants will bear with the same phi losophy and exhibit the same liberality and brotherly feeling they did during the season of the cholera.
 The Philadelphia Sentinel relates the following case of catalepsy arising from excessive religious excitement, which it is said has occasioned a considerable sensation among the ignorant in the northern part of Penns, lvania:
 A young lady in II high state of en- thusiasm suddenly fell into d swoon, and remained in that condition for several days. All efforts to arouse her were found intellectual. Her eyes were fix ed; her limbs immovahle, and her l pulse feeble. Her friends. believing 1 her dying, procured medical assistance. and sbe was at length with great difficult ty called back to consciousness of life, She awoke as from a dream; said size had been in Heaven and He'll, and told marvellous stories of her discoveries in the course of her migrations. I'he liv- ing and the dead were seen by her in their appropriate state of enjoyment or suffering, and all that was m, stericus 10 her earthly senses was made plain.- These things, of course, have excited much surprise among the eredalons.- We understand her vision ilas bcen re- corded and will shortly be published. 
 NULLIT.cATIoN.- The State ofSouth Carolina itself numbers not a few who have placed themselves prolrssedly in q posture Of defence, as will be seen by the following extract fronitlie Charles ton Courier:
 | Let us now see how far the putting down opposition at home will hold good, .as peaceaIle measure. The opposi- tion to Modification in Sonth Carolina is not tfifllng one, and is composed of such materials as will make it no easy task tn suppress it. II is composed c. men who know the value of their ines tin.abie rights, and dare defend them at ever, hazard; who will dispute ever, iueli Of ground, and surrender the rich legacy beqneathed them by their fath- CTS, only with their lives. The mask has now been thrown of, the dismem- berment of tl,e Union is openly avowed in our streets, and an i'll omened voice sounds from the seal of South Carolina like the deatb-bcll of liberty, saving, this Union must he dissolved, let the unlsallowed sound awake the sleeping 10
