Adams, long an influential and leading Statesman,
died at his residence, Niagara Falls, on the 2eth
inst. in the list year of his age. The Buffalo oohi

This must be left TO the future blographer who'

We may. however, acknowledge with gratitude
The services of the living; and pay our humble tn
bute TO the memory of the illusrlous dead.
And humble indeed must our tribute be to the

fem New York our system OF internal improvements,
Lnndys Lane and Bridgewater and Fort Erie, all,
all are monuments of his fame!
These are left for him, and for us--but his great
intellect is withdrawn-and that heart lmbued with
noble sentiments, so alive to the glory and happl-
ness of It's country has now ceased to beat. The
voice instructive in council and eloquent in debate,
that was often raised in its counuy's cause, above
the din OF battle, is now still in death. The patriot
has departed!
We NAV still cherish his memory and reserc his
| name-and this may and will be done by many who
| are removed far from us, and by those who will
come after us-but by will that namebe honor
ed as by US who were his neghbors and his friends.
We, who knew him sin the mild majesty of pri-
vae life we who have witnessed his less glorious,
but more endearing virtues, will be the first to no.

ANOTHER DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN NEwARK.-
The extensive establishment the Inclined Plane
of the Morris Canal in Newark known as Heden-
bergs Union Works. was totally destroyed by ire
early on Saturday morning The Newark Adver-
tiser gives the following account of the disaster:
The flames broke out about half past 2 O'Clock in
the southwest angle of the large pile OF four story
buildings, and supposed to have originated III
the anncang furnace of Nlessrs. Gardner, Harrson
& Co.'S Foundry, situated in that quarter. They
soon extended to each wing-thc Grlst Mill TOT
N1essrs Heidelberg & SOM on the side and the
| India Rubber Factory (of Messrs. Hutchinson u
| Runyon) on the othcr-and from the combustibIc
nature of their the flames spread with great
rapidity through the whole range; and the Fire De-
partment seemed put at defiance by the fearful rage
| of the conilagraton, and was compelled to witness
its inevitable destruction and direct their attention
TO the adjacent houses. The heat was most intense,
and stiff breeze from the north overspread several
squares South with Dense shower OF fire and sparks

berg and occupied for carriage obbing, caught and
| was burnt to ashes as was also an adjoining frame
| dwelling owned by Daniel Murphy, No. Il Acade-
| my street The large wooden building on the right
of the gate olentrance occupied by VIM. Miles and
others, was uninjured.
The destruction of this immense establishment is
to be deplored as public calamity. The waste
water from the Canal during the season otnavlgaOn,
and steam during the remainder of the year, afforded
abundant power for large amount OF machinery,
and it let for varous occupations so that these
Works comprised 1ourishng Manufacturing Co

buildings and machinery belonging to the Ressrs.

| ed their India Rubber Factory from New Bruins
wick to this city, on account of the superior adyan-
| oges furnsed here for manufacturing and for the
business have lost stock, papers, &c, to the amount
