Sir Miller Raleigh.—His pipe often
furnished Raleigh with an opening for
.displaying his teady wit to the Queen.—
One day he was conversing upon the sin
gular properties of the new herb:
"I can assure your Majesty," said he,
'that I have so well experienced the na
ture of it, that I can exactly tell even the
weight of the smoke in any quantity 1 con
sume."
•I doubt it much, Sir Walter,' repliei
Elizabeth, thinking only cf the impracti
cability of weighing smoke in a balance,
and 'will wager you %wen.) , angels that
yon do not solve my doubt."
A quantity was agreed upon to be thm •
oughly brooked. Carefully preserving the
ashes, Raleigh weighed these with 'great
exactness, an.l MM. was deficient of the
original weight he gave as the result.
'Your Majesty,' said he, 'cannot deny
that the difference hath been evaporated in
smoke.'
•Truly kcannot,' answered the Queen.
Then turning to those around her, who
had been amused by Raleigh's calculations,
she continued, in allusion to the alchyrnists
then very numerous—" Many laborers in
the fire have I heard of who turne their
gold into amoke,but Raleigh is the first who
has turned smoke into gold."
Repudiation.
A writer in the N. Y. Evening Post, in
alluding to the Rev Sydney Smith's Memo•
rial to the 'House of Congress,' leveled at
American repudiators in general and Penn
sylvania repudiators in particular, as de
priving him of all return for his invest
ments in the state stocks of Pennsylvania
takes occasion , to remark that Mr Smith,
with all his wit, fie lie is confessedly the
wisest divine of modern times, has fallen
into the common error of supposing that
the indebted states of this Union have sancii
tinned what is termed 'repudiation,' and
intend to practice upon that principle.—
This mistake is natural enough for one
who lives abroad, and it originates in the
lying spirit of political contioversy which
so prevents the generality of American
newspapers from telling the truth upon cer
tain subjects, that it is difficult even at
home to discover the real state of the case,
'when the matter is one which, by perver
sion or misrepresentation, ran be effected
for partisan purposes. It is so iu regard

The Fire at Tallahas!•ce
A meeting of the citieens wrs held b
Tallahassee, Florida, on the 27th ult., the
Mayor of the city in the chair, at which
the following addrcss was adopted;
To the people of the United States of
dmerico:
It has pleased an inscrutinable Provi
dence to afflict, by an a wful calamity, the
inhabitants of a City on the frontier of the
Union. At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, of
Thursday the 25th of May, the City of
Tallahassee numbered, with a population l
not exceeding two thousand souls, eighty
nine stores and houses, the theatrii of ac,.
tive mercantile and manufacturing indus
try. In three hours, by a devastating fire,
which no exertion could stay, not a solita
ry stote, shop, or theatre of business re
mained. A property in buildings which
many rstimated at not much less than half
a million, had fallen a prey to the flames,
and with it, goods, furniture and m aveable
of of the value of one hundred and fif
ty thousand dollars more.
The extent tif this overwhelming calam
ity may be measured, by the fact that from
the ports of Tallahassee, at the mouth of;
the River St Marks, there has been expos.
Led in the current year,or collected for ex•
portation, chiefly on account of the Mer—
chants and Traders of 'Tallahassee, 22,000
bales of cottcn, the only staple export of
the Territory of Florida, a quantity worth,
in ordinary years, 1.200,000 dollars, and
at its present reduced price, a moiety of
that snm.
In recut n for this exportation, a full ew
quivalent has hitherto been imported, corn
prehending not merely or chiefly the com
forts or luxuries, but the necessities of life;
its staple commodity, having, until lately,
employed the productive industry of the
country, to the exclusion of every other
pursuit. The Merchants and agents of a
commerce that has exceeded two an I a
half millions in the year, are, by a sudden
blow, deprived of their stores, warehouses,
and their unsold stock of goods. The ar
tizans of their shops, and of the very tools
of trade. And of the property so lost, less
than twenty thousand dollars is covered by
insurance.
Such a calamity cannot but make a pow , .
erful appeal to the sympathy of a gener
ous public,and in their reliance on that ap•
peal, the citizens of Tallahassee consult
the feelings, which they, have themselves
manifested, en like occasions, towards the
calatbities of their more fortunate• citizens
of the United States.

A friend handed me the Morning Chronicle of

the instructions of the P. M . General and P. O.
Auditor, under date of the 18th June, 1838, were
that I should report only the "numbers and se

which was done accordingly, as the entries made i l
on n - .y e. O. Books by elesers JAI Taylor,
