TWELVE SQUARES BURNT-Loss $4,000.

TWELVE SQUARES BURNT.--Loss $4,000
O0O!-The city Of Port au Prince was
threatened with destruction by fire on
the 9th ult., which originated in the making
of varnish by careless French chemist
on Courbe ST. In two and half hours,
twelve squares, comprising 800 houses.
were reduced TO ashes.
During three hours the sun was obscured
by clouds of black smoke; the whole pop.
uiation was out of doors, there was no
water in the fountains, owing to public
neglect, and but for change in the wind
at sunset, the town would have been VI
.terly consumed.

WE CANT GET The HANG OF 1T.

The TAX Bill Is perfect puzzle. The wi'e-
.e,es Of the late Locofoco assembly, after passing
It's main law, undertook to exPound and explain
and a,sne and direc, by the passage of three other
Laws, and set Of resolutions. in the vain hope Of
guiding the public officers in the discharge of their
duties. Mr.. Auditor Heath, has also addressed
eirenar 10 the Commissioners of Revenue, eivinghis
instructions and explanations but the knot 10 too
tight, for even his clear and lucid intellect. The
revenue officers are running about all over The
Stare with tho various laws, and the Auditors COM
mcp'a,ies in their hands. invoking the aid of the
lawyers and judges 10 diseutange the web, and
they Ind in the multitude Of counsellors not safety
but confusion worse copfounded. Knots of busy
politicians are seen huddled together at The street
coruer.--the road side inns-the warrant iryings
and other places of resort, eagerly inauiring what
the thing means; and all that the people car find
out is, that they are to be roasted like Christmas
turkey.
Gentle render, this is practical Locofoeoism.
and i, il pretty thing We warned you against
rs theories and principles; but the thing is getting
ssripu.--the physic is beginning 10 work, AMI the
Lord hsp the patient.
We suggest to Governor NJ Dowell. and he
dont our sheet, we beg friends of the Rich
mond Eeanrcr to give him hint, that if it is de-
sirnble to roast all the turkeys alike, or in other
words 10 make the tax law operate equally in the
counties, that few rowing commissioners be ap
pointed TO visit every county in tho state aud in
struct the assessors the law alike Circu
larle,ier. wont explain what the Legislature mea
for tina, 10 more than they knew themselves by a
long shot.

candidate we'll enough. to know thst the Wing
caas. will not suffer in bis hands, and from every
portion Of tho di.,fio, which he has yet visited. we
hear the most cheering accounts Of the gallantfy
