! Consumption There is perhaps no disease with
which our country is affected, which sweeps off
annually so many victims, that fell DESTROYER Of
the human Consumption. Day after day,
year after year, the insatiac monster hurres TO tic
portals of the cold and silent tomb fresh added VIC
TINS to its conquest No walk of life is sacred from
| its blightng influence. No age is exempt from IFS
deathdealing shafts. The old, the middle aged and
the young, all alike, are food for this common enc

whose life Of temperance has rendered his system
imporviou5 to the attacks Of other ills, and whose
good deeds prepared him for the cnioyments of
life's calm evening, finds Consumption fastening its
fAngs upon his vtals, and tearing him from world
ever bright to minds which look compacently on
days well spent.
Is there no help for the afflicted? No preventive
OF the dangers which boSet us in our changcabIc and
iicklo cline? We think there is. And if the allie
cations Of those who at least entitled TO veraci

SLAVERY IN KENTUCKY-The following
plan for the abolition of Slavery in Kentucky
appears in the Louisville journal. The au-
thor IS spoken Of as a gentleman of high
character, who has been a member of Con-
gress, sc. After speaking of other changes
which the Convention ought to make in the
Constitution, he says:
"The children born Of slave mothers, on and
after a certain day-say the 4th of July 1850,
or other suitable pcriod--to be free the
males at % and females at II years of age.
The owners of such persons to pay neither
State or County tax on them, but in lieu
thereof, to give them reasonably good ed
ucation, and after they are old enough to be
useful, pay a small sum annually to the Coun-
ty Court, which with the interest accrung
thereon shall be appropriated to removing
such liberated slaves beyond the limits of the
United States, and providing them the means
of subsistence in the country to which they
90. Husband and wife in no case should be
forced to separate, but the first liberated
should be hired, the proceeds for his or her
own use, until the other be freed. The
children born of mothers thus provided for,
should be free, serving only with the mother,
and going away with her."

GREAT CONFEDERATION AT AL
BAN1 - ONE EIGHTH OF THE !
WHOLE CITY IN RUINS!

AlDdUy, aug. L Z, y hI.
A most serious and destructive fire broke
out in this city to-day in some out-buildings
near the corner of Broadway and Herkimcr
streets, which has laid in ruins about ONE
ElGHTHPART OF THE WHOLE CITY!
The burned District is bounded on the South
| by Herkimer street to Church street on the
West, then passing along to Lydius street
crossing Lydius the fire proceeded North
along Union to Hudson street. The Eastern
boundary was the Dock, along which all the
buildings with the exception Of three or four
stores were burned.
The streets burned are Hcrkimer on the
North side, from Dock to Church streets; Ly-
diu5, on both sides, from Dock to Union SITS. ;
Dcnnison street entirely burned; Hamilton
from Dock to Union; South Broadway, from
IIerkimcr near Hudson; Church, from Her
kimcr to South Broadway; a portion of Dial
Inns street, Liberty street. from Lydius to
Hudson; Union street, mostly on both sides,
from Lydius to Hudson; on South Broad
way, the Eagle Tavern, United States Hotel,
and Townsend House are among the princi-
pal buildings burned.
The fire crossed and burnt the Hamilton
street Bridge, and set on fire Downs West
crn Hotel--the first building on the Pier
From this point, every building on the Pier,
up to and across State street. and thence to
the cut at The foot Of Maiden Lane, was dcs-
troycd including cmigrant hotels, forward
ing houses, groceries, steamboat, canal boat
and freighting line offices, and all the float
ing craft in the Basin, including so to 60
canal and lake boats, IS to 90 large tow boats,
some sail vessels, and the steamboat William
Seymour!
1t is impossible to estimate the loss, but 49,
100000 may cover it. The number Of build
ings Of all kinds destroyed cannot be less than
five hundred The insurance upon the prop
erty destroyed is large. The preservation Of
the city from more wide spread ruin, can
only be ascribed to the changing OF the wind
from South to North, followed BY drcnch-
ing rain.
IT is rumorcd that ten lives have been lost
but of this we have no positive information.

The Tribune has letter from Dublin dated
Aug. 3, stating that there has been great
battle between the British troops and the
Irish insurgents, at Slieyanamon, in which
Gen. Mcdonald, the commander Of the Brit
ish troops, was killed, and 5000 troops killed
and wounded. The road for three miles is
said to be covered with the slain. Kilkenny
and Limerick have been taken by the people.
The Sd Bluffs and a regiment OF the 9TH in
fantry turned and fought with the people
The 3lst regiment at Athlone have also de-
clared for the people, and two regiments have
been sent to disarm thcm.-The mountain Of
SIiovanamon is nearly inaccessible, being sur
rounded by bog with only one approach to
it. 1t is ascertaincd that Smith OBrien has
$4,000 men with him and considerable sup
ply Of arms, ammunition, and cannon. 9th
er accounts from Dublin one day later, Aug.
4, give 10 accounts Of this great battle. But
the friends Of Ireland account for this by
saying that the Irish press is under censor
