It ap peas that, in the second story of the building at the front, about two or three hundred barrels of flour and salt were piled together, with a number of sack of salt. The floor if supported by a heavy girder and pillars, running the length ol the building, at the distance from each other of about sixteen feet. The pillar aie of hemlock, and Ihe one nearest tho door h id a large knot in it, and the wood was cur led and weak.

It ia proper to say, however, that this decla ration was not in the address, which our readers muHt havo perceived ; but in a letter addressed by Mr. Tyler a few months since, to a friend at Pitts burgh, which letter was published with the address, and having quoted from memory, the two were con founded. We publish in this week's paper the let ter referred to. -Jl will bo seen that Iho President is as explicit upon mat point as any one can uesire. What his opinions may be in relation to a Natio nal Bank, it is difficult to cay. He has had con stitutional scruples on this point, which his friends say have of lalo years undergone some change. The New York Express, au influential whig paper, says that the establishment of auch a bank, at an early day, has already been determined upon. Ihe Bank Bilk Iffr, Johnston's Bank and Revenue bill, has pas sed the House, and we presume by this time has ulso been passed through tho Senate. Tho Senate it is said will not materially alter the bill. Its fate will then depend on the Governor. Something must and should bo done, to settle the ctato of the currency. The Govenor i well aware of the fact and will no doubt use every effort in his power to re-establish hu.incss and the credit ef the state on a fum basis. The veto of the last bank bill, has not only received tho approbation of his ow n par tisans, but has been approved by Ihe liberal por tion of the whig party. It doe cern somewhat singular that the legislature after being in session more than three months, could not pa.s a bdl that would at least receive the commendations of their own partf. Tuiy khould endeavor to do tome thing ami adjourn forthwith. t'sf of Sail. Nature it seems, has most bimntifully supplied every portion of the globe with this great necessary of life. Yet strange a it may appear tho virtues of t Salt aro comparatively but Jittlu1 known.

From the Freeman extra, of Monday last, we co py the following account of a most calamitous fire at W illiamxpnrt. Mr. Hall had but recently ex tended aud improved bis targe and commodious Hotel, which was one of the best in the country. His Ions must be severe, notwithstanding the insu rance on his property. Tho loss will also bo felt by the travelling community, and visitors to W illiams port, which we trust, how ever, will be but for a tern porory period. The dwelling house of J. Grafius, Esq. was a handsome building, and nearly new. We sincerely sympathise with our friends upon this sudden calamity. Il will probably be an induce ment to others to efTcd an insurance upon valuable property 'On Saturday evening last, our town was visited with one of the most destructive fires that has ever before occurred. The lire was discovered about 10 o clock in the stable of Tiiomis Hall, Esq. The alarm was given, and the citizen repaired to the spot immediately, and every exertion was made that human aid could resort to, to arrest the progress of the flames but all was in vain. The stable and tho adjoining buildings wore consumed in a few minutes, and three valuable horses and several fine hogs perished in the flames. A light south-west wind carried the co'.rre of the fire in the direction of Mr. IT all's Eriek Hotel, and in a short time the entire building was Iiid in ruins ! Adjoining Mr. Hall's house was tho store room of J. Grafius cV. Son, tho beautiful brick dwelling of J. Graph's Esrj, and the dwelling house of Mr. Jostrn Onirics, all of which were burned to the ground, together with I their stabling, cVc. The tannery belonging to Mr. Tus. UrnxnitArr, took fire also, but the buildings, through the indefatiguble exertion of our citir.en, were prcicrved, with ono exception ; the baik house, together with about 100 cords of bark, was entirely consumed. The only thing, in our opinion, that prevented the further ditruetion by fire, was the prudent course pursued by our citizens in pulling down several small frame buildings which were oc cupied as offices, and situated in a vacant vpacc be tween Mr. Grufiu and Mr. Wimoh's large brick dwelling. 'The wind, however, had subsided a few minutes befoie the fire was checked, and a light shower of rain fell, which helied in a very great degrco to extinguish the burning flames. Mr. Hall succeeded in securing some port of hia furniture, but a very large quantity was consumed with the building, Mr. Grafius Si Son, also saved their household furniture, and the greater part of the merchandize. Mr. Joseph Grafius, we under stand, lost the greater part of his furniture with the house. The property belonging to t'lo 'different persons which has been saved, was very mucU aoiled and damaged in the hurry and bustle to se cure it. The whole amount of the loss sustained is estimated at from 30 to f 10,000. We are in formed that tho buildings of Mr. Hall and Jacob Grafius, Esq. are insured, but we do not know for what amount. Great erefiit is due to the citizens of our bo rough, and those of its vicinity, for their unwearied CXeutoUH ui, lUI uwutuu. Ovuio lauuitd until they were almost exhausted, while -others to their shame be it said looked on with tho utmost in difference. But the LADIES the kind, the gen tle, but noble patriotic iaoix ever ready lo lend a helping hand in lima of danger and distress, turned out and assisted w herever they could fiud themselves useful. They deserve the highest credit for their in defatigable and patriotic exertions in assisting to quell the taging elements. While too much credit cannot be awarded to the ladies for their noble con duct, too much disgrace cannot be attached to, nor too much contempt entertained for, thoe 'lookers on' who occupied the square and Court house pave ment with their umbrellas hoisted over them, with out exhibiting tho least apparent anxiety for the safety of the citizens or iheir property. Not tho least doubt exists as to the cause of this calimitou affair. But one opinion prevails, and that is that it is the work of an incendiary."

The following is an extract of a letter addressed by President Tyler to gentleman of Pittsburg. It was written In October last, "My opinion were fully expressed at St. Clairs ville and at Sieubcnville. At both place, in regard to the question, "What are your opinions as to tho Tariff!" I answered that I was in favor of sustain ing the compromise Bill.

Harrison's eectb that a permanent system be introduced in place a fleeting and over varying system, which promU one thing to-day and produced another to-morrov Mr. 'Tyler, about the same time as mentioned hove, addressed a letter to a number of gnntlcn in Chailestot), belonging to the Yan Buron par in reply to several questions which they propo to him on tbe great political questions of the d In thit letter, on the subject of the Tariff, Tyler said : "That Congress has a right to imposo duties merchandise imported, none can deny. The of duties, you are well aware, is called a tariff of ties. The power to lay duties, is given by Constitution in express terms. The right to lect the articles of impert on which to levy the ties, is unquestionable. Every duty imposed, rates, pro tutito, aa a bounty on tbe productior the same article at home, and it has been con.-i ed a wise policy on the part of ALL Admini tions so to impose the duties as to advance tho duction of such arti.-le as were of national im tancc. .1 certainly do not doubt the policy or c uiency of such a course.

Harris his speech delivered at Dayton: 'There is n the constitution any express grant of power fji purpose, and it could never lie eonslitutional ti eicise thai power, save in the event the 1 granted to congress could not be carried intoB -without resorting lo such an institution.' T l( ter branch of your inquiry is fully answered ly answer to the first part. The constitution clmi on Congress, in express terms, 'alt powers wh are necessary and proper' to carry into effect granted powers. Now, if 'tho powers grants could not be carried into effect without iucorpo ling a Bank, then it becomes 'necessary and prop arid of course expedient a conclusion which 1 1 sume no ene would deny who desired to see exictenco of tho Government prescived, and k beneficially in operation."
