Destructive FIRE AND Loss OF LIrE.-At
Boston early Sunday morning, fire broke out in
the upper portion Of R4ssels mechanical bake
ry, corner of Battery and Commercial streets.
which was totally destroyed The building was
of brick with granite front, extending sixty,four
feet on Commercial street and one hundred and
thirty-two feet on Battery and Salutation streets,
and contained two of Berdan's automatic ovens
kneading machines, etc; also $4,000 barrels of
Hour on storage. The bakery had gone into
operation on Thursday, when over Ii, 900 loayes
OF bread were baked ane delivered. The falling
walls partially destroyed two or three adjoining
wooden tenements. Daniel Henderson, fireman
was killed by the falling of the side wall; Capt
Wilson of the steam fire engine Eclipse. was
severely injured internally, and several others
more or less injured. One man is missing, sup
posed to be bnried under the ruins. Total loss
OF property estimated at 100000. partially in
sured. Mr. Russell will Immediately reconstruct
a tire-proof building and carry out his intention
OF establishing mechanical steam bakery in
Boston. The fire was undoubtedly the work of
an incendiary.

necessity for this form of government in pro-
portion to the number of foreigners present
throughout the United StatesP
The foreigners who come to our country have
been subject to military control all their lives ;
it has become habit with them, and they
could not dispense with it in the United States
if they were in the majority.
1t should be borne in mind then, that dem
ocratic administration of our federal govern
ment, sustained in power alone by the votes OF
foreigners, whom it uses as a blind instrument
for the spread of slave institutions, is now open
ly rcsorting to the use of military power for the
purpose of keeping foreigners in some degree
of subsection. These are facts, and they show
clearly to what pass democratic administra-
tons and foreign votes are leading us. If it is
not time that seEgoverning people should
pause and reflect, we would ask when will that
time probably Gomez What act of folly can
set us to thinking if this Utah affair does notP
Judge Eckcls, you are aware, has already
gone to the States, and it is thought that the
other two judges (Sinclair and Cradlebaugh)
will soon follow his example. 1t is very certain
that they can do nothing here, unless it is to
witness the disparagemcnt Of the law in their
own persons. As good patriots they should
doubtcssly resign their office and retire but it
must be confessed that this would be a great
sacrifice to men of nofortune who have hazard
ed the interests of their profession by coming
out here where they had some reason to expect
peace and its avocatiols rather than mere mill
tary display and inaugurated rebellion. What
inducements can men have to such worthy and
noble acts of patriotism as their resignation
would be, unless our people become more re-
Elective and considcrate, and show that they are
capable of understanding and approaching sac
rifce'. For sacrifices generally so essential to
Republics, are Of no use unless they are under
stool-unless they are something more than
mep pearls thrown to the swine.

The burning of the Concord Railroad denot
seems to have been solely owing to neglect in
shutting off the gas. The fire was but slipht
when 1t was discovered, and would have been
almost Immediately quenched, had not the gas
pipe been broken The first step should have
been to have shut off the gas outside of the
building, for we suppose of course, in erecting
such building, suitable provision was made
for doing this.
