This very valuable article of food is a native of ■ this country, its existence beiog entirely unknown to Europeans until it was brought to Ireland by m; , the celebrated navigator, Sir Walter Raleigh, in ■ 1610. :An amusing anecdote attended its first in trodnetipn. Sir Walter having planted in his gar* • - dell the specimen which he had brought from Pe» ru, awaited anxiously for its growth and maturi ty- By-and-by the plant i prung up, flowers ap« .peared upon the stems, and finally these died and ■ were succeeded by little apples, which he mistook for the potatoes. At length the stems began to ■ wither, and the little apples at their extremities began to wither likewise. On examining these : he found them email, nnpalatable, and by no .. means resembling the specimen which he had planted. Believing hie experiment unsuccessful, ' and in dispair of succeeding in any future expe« riments with the article, he ordered his gardener to pull upthe pernicious weed and throw it from his premises, In fullfihng this command the : gardener found a bushel of potatoes adhering to the ryots of the plant. From this time the potato , began to be cultivated in that Island, and it has long since formed the two-thirds or three-fourths of the entire food of its inhabitants The Potato was introduced into Sweden in lf2o, into Scotland in 1728, and into France, Ger . many, Switzerland, Italy and other countries of - Enrope about the same time- In some parts of Enrope the cultivation of this . .useful vegetable met with violent opposition by the more prejudiced part of the people. In Scot land the people were opposed to Its cultivation and use because it was not mentioned in the Bible. In France a nobleman wasdefeated in his election .on account of his benevolent exertions to foster its culture. In the lonian Islands the priests and people rose in arms against the introduction of the Potato into their dominions on the grounds that it was the forbidden fruit mentioned in the i Bible—the cause of man’s fall. In most other countries it.required acts of Parliament to en« courage its cultivation, before the prejudices of I • tiie masses against it would yield. At length, however, its extensive cultivation and general use .. throughout all Enrope, and the Euro pean Provinces m America; and in most of these countries it still maintains its character as the most useful, nutritious, and, in fact, the best vege table we possess: Some sixty years ago the Potato was introduced into Indio,-and it now forms a common article of loodin Bengal, the Madras Provinces, China, Java, and the Phillippine Islands. ■ '> In the United States this esculent is raised in every. State from Maine-- to Texas;, but especially in the north-eastern and middle States- In the year 1840 one bnndred millions.bnshelß potatoes were raised in the United States alone ; of these New York yielded thirty millions, Maine above ten i millions, Pennsylvania nine" millions and a half I Vermont more than eight millions, end N. Hamp shire six millions. The countries of Europe in which this article is m st extensively cultivated, are Ireland, Scot ian 1, Poland and Switxerland Iri Mexico and South America the potato is much used as an article of diet, and grows with a luxuriance unknown in most parts of the world, Travelers tell us that it grows wild and m great abundance along the coast and in the extensive 1 aius of Chili and Peru. We thus see that the potato flourishes in almost every latitude and every variety of climate. It grows to greater perfection, however, and is most extensively cnltivated in the more Northern coun tries enjoying a temperate climate. In the trop ical countries it does not come to the same per fection unless it grows at an elevation of three or four’thonsand feet above the level of the sea As an article of food it is more extensively used at thia time than any other vegetable. From experiments and calculations made for determining the comparative nutritive properties of the potato, it appears 'that one acre of good potatfies will support six adult persons, just dou ble the number that can be supported by an acre of wheat. The potato is composed almost entirely of wa ter and starch; with a small quantity of gum, ai. bumen, fat, saline matters, &c. Its nutritive pro perties depend almost entirely upon tho starch it contains. ..One hundred pounds of potato yield thirty of starch. i For. general consumption they are cooked in I various ways, mostly boiled, roasted or baked.— According to the experiments of Dr. Beaumont, it sppeare that baked or roasted potatoes digest in the human Btomach in two hours and a half whilst boiled ones require three houre and a half to undergo the same process, .It thus appears that baked or roasted potatoes are more digestible than boiled ones, and consequently the two former methods of cooking them should be preferred in most cases to .the latter. As a preventive of scurvy, a disease which so often occurs in tt)G ships upon the ocean, and with . jvhich.portionsiof our fleet in the Cfulf of Mexico suffered so severely during the late war, the pota-. to, either-boiled or raw, ia a valuable article. At this tijne no ship ventures upon the ocean without being plentifully supplied with potatoes, hence scurvy does not occur near eo frequently among the crests and passengers as it did in former times. - ■ The Presbyterian Advocate of tht3 week says- We learn that the Board of Missions hs?o rasp-' pointed the Bev.

Boston, April 4,1801. At a late hoar lut sight a fogitivo slave, named Thos. Sims, was arrested while passing Endicoll street, by a Dspuly .United Statos Marshal; assisted by members of tho police and watch. Heat first supposed that he was arrested Tor drunkenness, bat as he reached the Court House, the true nature of the case area made known, when the cry of kidtrao per was raised, and tho prisoner drew a knife and stabbed officer Bockmao in the groin. He was, bowaser, silely lodged in tho Court House. At about 10 o’clock, an abolition lawyer, named Sami. R. Sewell, mot Dopnty Marshal Riley in tho street, and waseo violent and ebnsivo that he was sent to tho watch house, where ho remained for an hour. Late in ilio night, Fletcher Webster, Esq., found, a watchman noging the bell of Stone’s Chapel, and supposing an alarm of fire bad been raised by the abolitionists in order to collect a mob, he ordered the watchman to desist. Mr. Webster attempted to drag tho man from the ropo, and afterwards assault* ed him. The officer called for assistance, and Mr. Webster was taken to the watch honse, and thence to the jail. This morning the Court House is completely sur rounded hy Marshal Takey and his police forco, who hss drawn a chain completely about it. There is a large crowd about the place, few or whom arc jilacka. Sims came to ibis city about tho 7ili o, March last. He la S 3 years oragtr, and tins a wire and several children in Savannah. The examination of tbo fugitive slave was coma menccd this forenoon at 9 o’clock, before Com missioner G. T. Curtis. Seth J. Thomas appeared Tor claimant—the Hon. Robert Rantoul, Charles G. Loring,and S. E. Sewell, for the fugitive. Tbo complaint was then read, alleging that Sims escaped from James Poller, rice planter, Chatham connfy, Georgia, on the 33d Febrnary last. Several depositions of persons in Savannah were, read, to the effect that they knew Sims ns tho slave of James Potter. Some deposed that Sima had contossed that he was tho Blave of Potter j and also that bio mother bad acknowledged that bothsho end bor son were tho olaves of Potter. Edward Burnett testified that he lived m Savan nah-; that he new Thomas Sims, tho prisoner at the bar; Sims had worked with him at bricklaying; bad told him that he was the slave of Potter; also heard his mother say that she and her son were tho slaves of Potter. John E. Bacon, tho agent of tho owner, testified that ho bad known Thomaa Sima well for a long period of years; ho has resided in Savannah, and waa tho slave of James Potter; had lived within sixty yards of hia mother, and the prisoner passed my bonso twice a day going to his work ; am posi tiro that Sims is tho man ; have seen the mother of Sims pay over his wages to Patter in Sima* presence. There was one other witness, bat his testimony was not pat in. Defendant’s connsel prayed for delay until Tues day, but tho Commissioner only granted a postpone ment for twenty-foor hours. The counsel for tho defcnco stated that they believed Sima to be a free man, even under tbe laws of Georgia. Tho case was then adjourned until to-morrow, and the Court Bouse cleared. Sims remains in a room in the Court House fitted up for such an emer gency, and so far everything is quiet. The police guard the Court House. But few blacks are to be seen. Sims has, it is said, a wifo and children who aro free, In-Savannah, and who are about to join him. The case of Fletcher Webator was brought bofore tbe police court, and he gave bonds to appoar next week, to answer to a charge of assaulting a police man. The Sopromo Court has just refused to grant a writ oi habeas corpus in the case of Sims. THE ABOLITIONISTS CALLED TO THE RESCUE. Boston, April 4—1.30 P, M.

Another section is retain ed by them for the raanutactunng,on a very large scale, of Chairs on the Boston plau, and they are now having constructed in Bostou machinery for thut purpose, and soon Cbairs may be faonght of them of substantial quality and at low prices. Another section is occupied by Mr. F. R. Dux* to, a very enterprising gentleman, as Flour and Spice Mills, and he has Bpared neither expense dr trouble to render them perfect. They are now in full operation and doing a targe business, as the tor to (be Norib, which was received with mingled hisses and cheers. The number present at the Temple was about 1000, many of whom went there from curiosity. The Coart Haase it still surrounded with abates, and guarded by a large body of police officers. The fugitive ism a room m the third atory, which i# secured by fill two iach iron bolts upon the in« side. Several military companies are at their armories, 10 roadincss for action in esse of any disturbance or attempt at rescue. Indeed every precaution has been taken to prevent a second Shadrach affair. The city remains id on oscited state. The square around the Court House has boen cleared once or twice of the crowd collected, by detachments or the city watch, and one or two who refused to stir were taken into custody. Tfie square, however, is again half full. Sixty resolute mon guard the Court House upon the inside, and others are ready at the differ ent watch houses, upon the least alarm. No blacks are to bo scon abroad, but knots of white men are collected all over the city, discussing the matter. The great majority are ia favor of obo* dience to the Jaw. A fugitive slave bv tno name of' Thomas Sims, from Savannah, Ga.,‘ was arrested about 9 o’clock Jest evening, while passing through Endicott, near Cooper street, by Capt. Allen,oi the Centre Watch, assisted by officers Butman, Clark and others.— Sims made strong efforts toovadeihe officers, and cried murder and other violent ejaculations, but oil to ro effect. He was escorted through Cross and Hanover streets to the Mansion House, where a coach-was awaiting for him, into which ho was put and driven with much speod to tho Court House, whore he waj secured beyond any contingency of escape,"-Thu whole uffii# 1 occupied but a short time, and was executed with equal skill, prudence and effect. Sims came to thiacity on the 7ih of March last; not quite four weeks since. During this time he has been stopping at a colored seamen’s boarding house kept by James Aiken, Nos. 153 and 156, Ann street. He is 24 years of age, has a wife and several chil*. dren in Savannah, and ia said to bo a bright, mtcili« gent negro—one who from his manners and general appearance would not be taken Tor a alavo. Only yesterday ho received a letter from his wife respect ing arrangements which were being made to take her to the city* Sima was purchased when five years old and put out as an apprentice to o bricklayer. His owner be coming alok, the bricklayer was appointed Jus guar* dian. From time to time Simms has attempted to get possession of these papers, but without effect. His route northward was by railroad from Charles ton, by stoamer from Charleston to New York, and by standing line to our city. He docs not appear to have excited any suspicion on the route. Ho had determined, H is said, not to leave Boston, though the danger of tarrying here could not have been unknown to him. Ho has walked about our streets froeiy during tbo day and night, during tho past four weeks, nod was last cvcniog on a custom ary loisure walk whoa he was arrested and conveyed to tho Court House* Tho whole force proceeded towards Endicott st., where a concerted plan was divulged.—As soon as arrested Sims was to be brought to the Mansion, where Deputy Marshal Byrnes-was in waiting with a coach, to order that the utmost epoed might be uaed to convey him into dose custody. Tho arrest, performed with so much celerity and so little noise, proves that Marshal Devena can per* form hit difficult and responsible duty with admira ble certainty and perfection; and we opine with a great deal ol confidence that the aftor-managemcnt of this case will show that law, order, and good gov* ornmentcan be earned out in Boston, and that a sound public aeatiment will sustain it. Probably Sims, ole this morning’s sun rose,was disposed of beyond tho roach of mobs, fanatics, or crazy abolitionists. ; As a sequel toi the Mysterious tappings, the pub lie are soon to be amazed by seme mysterious read ingß. Mr. Anthony Gaudouand himophew, a youth named Gouhouqnt, have reconlly-urrived here from Prance, and favored pa yesterday, with some exper iments, which, to say the least, were very remarka ble. Wo havo heardiof persons possessing the gift of “second sight,” and being enabled to read by some mysterious agency, without oven looking at what was written; and if wo are to hello ve the evi dences of our aonaea, the youth in question possesses that power. • It appears, that whatever his uncle reads, or is told, he is able to repeat; but even the ancle is not at all times the direct medium of communication with the youth, though it appears to bo Accessary; that be should £raVbe_mad'eacqualoted with the Tact to be told. Thus, he repeated what wohad written at pur desk, although be was placed at the other end of the room, With his face turnedXrom us; he told to e second the time by ourwatch—rtbeddtoßOl several ‘of our exchange papers, pad the places where pub lished—described ihc various letters td ken by hia uncle from the casco of .the compositors, although they were then in different rooms, Btc. ko.

Destructive Conflagration I _Bbown’s Hotel, Williams’ Blocs, and the Kevstone Block aee in Ruins I—We are called upon this week to record one of the moot deslroci live fires that has ever occurred in Erie. One ol the best business and moat valuable points in our city 19 in ruins. The particulars are briefly as fol lows: On Tuesday morning, April Ist, at about 3 °' c “; a r fire w» discovered in the Jewelry store or W. N. Lewis, adjoining Brown’s Hotel, by the driver of Brown’s omnibus, who had returned from a boat wflh a load of passengers. The alarm was im mediately given and the fire department was soon on the ground—not, however, until tho building was completely in flames. The buildings adjoining on the East,- being of wood, soon caught and Bhared the came fate. JTbcy were occupied and owned an ™ l “'j If. Murphy, tin and copper smith. Loss £»£SJ. d i Dg . S 7 oo ’ m9n,e d for $3OO ; stock and tools 82,000, fully insured. W. H. Sherman, dagoerrian gallcry-toial loss fully insured. A. Monfort, can smith, stock and tools lost—tally insared. c.

B Keene, tailor, loss S3OO, no insurance. B. French, confectioner, effects all saved—the budding wan owned by E. D. Gunnison. ' n S ored for S6OO. It cost probably from 8800 to 81000. Hero tho fire was arrested on'the East by the brick wall orihe Reed House. V On the west, notwithstanding, the almost super human efforts of the firemon and come of the citizens; it soon found its wnythrongh the windows of Brown’s Hotel, aud theu a scene of destruction -we ne?er wish to see again. Major BroweVhm.ih buildings; furniture, aiaUliug, &c„ cannot be less .than $20,000—57,000 of which wc are gUd to s,V t. covered by- iofnranch, .Several of his boarders are also conaiderable'loeeri. John Hearn’s loss is somewhere about sso°i;g. 8.-Wiightahoal SfOOO -8800 of which, however, was in Obligations of the Northi East and Erie Railroad,' and can be rccover ed. Several others >re!6oaors, the eiaet amount of which we have net ascertained. J.M.

Williams’ exchange office, and above by Thompson Ss Gfant’a law offico, and bv Brown e Hotel, is completely in mini. The Messrs. Williams are insured Tor ©2,ooo—their loss mast be considerable. Thompson and Grant saved their val aabio library, bat estimate their loss atslso. Har* ns saved most of his furniture, and sustained but a trifling loss. __Tho Koyslone Buildings adjoining, owned by W. H. Kuowiton, and occupied by himself as a jewelry store,and bvO’Rcilly’stelegraph offico, and theMn eomc Lodge, was not insured—loss 8500. At ibis point the fire.proofroof of Cadwell’s Empire Block, and the exertions of the firemen arrested the flames. Mr. Cndwell’a loss in damage to hia goods and build' tog is considerable, all of which, however, is cover ed by insurance. '9 14 * l? 93 °fproperty by this disaster cannot be J£i a ™ an frora $60,000 to 360,000; from *30,000 to $25,000, oT which is covered iby. insurance, we learn that active measures will immediately be taken to rebuild the entire space in a more sub stantial and imposing manner. Afore F/res.—On Wednesday evening the cry of fire was heard again in our streets, but this time the fire was,not ia town. It proved to be the barn of Mr. David Wolf, about two miles out. -It was total ly destroyed, with its contents. We jiayc not as-. certained tbe loss. At first it was supposed to have been the work of an Incendiary , but upon more rha« lure reflection, we believe it is ascertained that Mr W. had been feeding his horses wiih a lighted pipe in his mouth, and that a spark from that source caused the conflagration. The nextday the barn-of Mr. Levi Wolf, situate' a few rods from the one consumedUhe day before,: caught, as it ia supposed .from .the uncitinguisbed remains ofibc other, andit with its contents was* also consumed. : Both, ( we believe, were in sured in tbe Washington Mutnal, but what amount we do not know. ?••• . : AnofAer F/re.—The .trite, adage, “it never ratos but it pourr,»» is vory aptly illustrated by fire this' week. On Thursday night, about ten o’clock, on unoccupied building, on the corner of Sixib and Holland -‘streets was discovered to be ini flames, bnd before, the alarm could gather the firemen, it was consumed. • As it, stood some distance' from any other ,building, no further damage was done. It was bvidenlly the work of an incendiary—probv ably for tbe purpose of pillage and robbery. . Phtlad’a. Surgeons* Bandage Institute/ No; 34 South. Sixth'Slr&ii'belotD.Chtsnut, ■VO HE«E BE HAD, KC.
