RALEIGH, n. &. Sept. &c


PosrscR,rr.-.4,cfmI ConRogration.-
We stop the press to announce that our
city has been visited by another distress
iny calamity. At one o'clock, yesterday
morning, a FIRE broke out at the store OF
MIR. Richard Smith, which destroyed ev-
cry building on that square, fronting Fay
ctteville street, with the exception OF the
Bank Of Newbcrn, which was preserved
with great difficulty.
Nearly all the houses burnt were oc-
cupi ed as stores.-Most Of the dry goods
except those in the store Of Mr.. Richard
Smith, were saved; but large portion ol
the groceries were destroyed. The books
and records Of the Office Of the County
Register we're consumed.
The fire had attained such mastery be-
fore the citizens could be collected, that
il was impossible, either by blowing VI
houses, or the use Of our small engines
to check its progress until every building
on the main street, between the corner a
bove mentioned and the Ncwbern Bank
was entirely destroyed. The Bank 1t
self was only saved by the counsel ant
intrcpidity Of a resolutc and determined
few.
The individual loss is very great, tho
by Far the greatest sufferer is MIR. Rich
ard Smith. His loss in money, bonds
goods and houses, cannot be less that
$4,000.

Nathaniel S. Ruggles, Esq. Of Newport,
is a gentleman of strong natural sense,
improved by much practical information,
and has few equals in the state for sound
judgment and discretion. lie has uni
iormily commanded large mnjorities in
his own town, as a representative to the
General Assembly, and will, we are
persuaded, very generally unite the An
ti-Jackson voters Of Newport county
These four gentleman ought, and they
no doubt will, to very great extent,
unite the opposition in this state to the
election Of Andrew Jackson.
That these candidates for Electors will
be elected not only by large plurality,
but by large majority, the members OF
the convention from all parts Of the
State, with whom we have conversed,
entertain not the shadow Of Doubt
The sentiments ofthe convention are full
ly expressed in the excellent and spirited
resolutions unanimously passed by that
body, and are to be found in the pro-
ceedings thereof, published in this days
paper. They are such as must iavora-
bly, impress every opponent OF the wick,
ed, corrupt and disgraccful administra-
ton Of Andrew Jackson in Rhode-lsland
In conclusion we would say that the bes
spirit prevailed in the convention, ant
the members appeared to be much ami
mated'by the prospect continually bright
ening of defeating the reelection Of An
drew Jackson, and of elevating Henry
Clay to the Presidency.
