RESAT `IRIS IN . NEW YORK. the i'buint district" of the great fire in s.* York; bas again been the scene of ,a „ileifructive confingration. We copy the following account from The New York Jour nal of Commerce of Saturday: Dcsvaocrivx - Fran.—After a long peri od of almost total exemption from fires,our city visited last night with one which occasioned a heavy loss of property. Soon eller - midnight, the four story store No. 146 Pearl street, East side, fourth building South of Wall street, was discov ered to be on fire, and in a few minutes the flames burst furiously from the roof and rear, where was a small open area, which gave them access to the stores No. 114 and 112 Water street, both which, as well as that in which the fire originated, were entirely destroyed, with most of their con 'Pate. • Also the stores No. 148 and 144 Pearl street, next adjoining 146; the wind being moderate from the North East. Total, five stores, viz. three on Pearl street and two'on Water. All of them were four or five stories high. N 0.148 belonged to the estate of Zech arlah Lewis, and was occupied on the first floor by Henri. Richarde,Bassett & A burn, as a dry goods store, end in the upper part by Samuel Cochran, as a lace store. N 0.146 Pearl street wee occupied be low by H. 0. Howard, as a dry goods store. The upper part was unoccupied. No. 144 • Pearl street was occupied in the upper part by Adahead &c. dry goods importers, in the lower part by N. %V. San• tirrd, a shoe dealer. Nri. 142 Pearl street, was occupied in the lower part by J. st. W. Kelly, dry goods dealers, and in the upper part by Pierpont Phillips, clothier. The building extending through to W a ter street, being eubstantially erected, presented a tormida• ble barrier to rho raging element, which enabled the firemen to stay the progress of the fire without much damage to the build ing., The contents of the building were considerably damaged by water. The contents of No. 140 Pearl street, occupied in the lower part by W. F. &S. Waring, dry goods dealers, and in the up per part by Oakes!. & Robinson, were par tially damaged by water. The contents of No. 150 Pearl street, occupied in the lower part by Booth & Tut tle. dry goods dealers, were considerably ,damaged by water. The fire , communicated to the rear of the five story brick building No. 112 Water street, owned by E.. Coles and occupied by Wm. Rust, as , a drug store. and by S. Du. rand & Co. who had an office in the second story; b•>t{ldtog and most of its antents en tirely destroyed. The four story :brick building, No. 114 Water street, occupied by Rutus Chase & Co. in the lower part, and Foster & Easton, in tho upper part. Mr. Cochran's loss is estimated at abOut $60,000, said to be insured. Rich ard's Bassett and Aburn's loss estimated at about 40,000 dollars—insured. William Rust's loss about 85,000, insured 83,000; S. Durand& Co'elose in notes and valua ble papers, is estimated from 815,000 to s2o,ooo—no insurance; the loss• on the buildings about (820,000. We have not heard any estimate made of the other los• The battle was admirably well fought, but the fire had made such progress before it was discovered, that nothing but the thorough manner in which the stores were built, in addition to , the efforts of Abe fire men, prevented an extensive conflagration. We need not inform our city readers, that the ground were this fire occurred, was burnt over by .the memorable conflagration of 11335; which was taken as a sufficient hint to build in future with some little re gard to safety. Consequently, the main walls dell the stores burnt, are still stand- P. S. The fire this morning was even more destructive than we represented it to be. The total loss of properly is probably not far from $350,000; of which about 8275,000 is covered by insurance, distrib uted, more or less, among nearly all the in. nuance Offices in this city, and some in other States. HEAVY DANAGINIL—Some time last year we published a letter from Montreal announ clog the elopement , of Mrs. Harris, wife of Captain Harrill, 24th regiment, with E. D. David, osq. of Montreal, Winter, and ma jor in the Montreal cavalry. On the 6th inst. the action commenced by Captam Harris against Mr. David was tried in Mon treal, and resulted in a verdict of THIRTY THOUSAND DOLLARS damages.—N. Y. Cent. Adv. Tim Taeoene . OT TUEI 17ru AT ST. Louie.—We learn from the St. Louis Re publican on the let inst. that the perpe trators of , the horrible attroeitiel in that city, on the night of the 17th ult, involving tPirglary, murder and arson, are believed to 'have Ewen discovered. A negro man 'tarried Ennis, has given information which he appears to have obtained without having partlcipated to the crimes, of the real actors who are stated to have been a slave named Madison, belonging to a gentleman of New Orleans, and three dark - mulattoes named James _Seward, and Warrick, a barber; the first lauds , from Cincionatioind `the second formerly of New York, but last ream New Albany, la. Warrick had been for some time an inhabitant of St. Louis. According to the information of Ennis,;ho is in clurody. end who alleges to have obtain. ed hisinformation from the stave Nadison,at their new boarding house on the %might of the . l7th, a ft er , the deed was done, it did oat appear that the scheme had been long cononeted.ar that their plan of operations Was well matured. . ' It Spellers that these four desperadoes saint eti , -Ike night in question, to the coon iirqr Wig* :of Pend; and finding the rtiftt enlmllted tlementered, and found Mi. Aker thet it, eested,swith his , boots on, ytititlinjr a petal. ••fitut they quickly diti titititheds tint lung in trait for the arrival or Mk Walvtft the ltlT4rk. tbsy,kll ltd him also immediately on his entrance into the building. This bloody work was accomplished, they then made an effort to open the vault; and being , unsuccessful in this, they set fire to the building in five sev. erslplaces, and left it. such is the sub. stance of Ennis' statement, as received from the slave Madison. The pertains im plicated have left St. Louis; but officers have been despatched in all directions, to overtake and secure them, and the hope is that they will ho apprehended, and made to answer to the law, for these horrible awe. cities charged against them. SPLRNDID ERUPTION OP A VOLCANO.— We are indebted (says the Newark Daily Advertiser) to an officer of the Exploring Expedition for files of the Polynesian, a useful little paper published at the Sand wich Islands, and transfer the following ex tract from a full account of the last volca nic eruption, which was briefly referred to by our correspondent in a late letter, as having been witnessed by the officers of the squadron. "Several days before the eruptlon,smoke was seen by the natives rising from tho di rection where the lava afterwardlurst out, but it was attibutod to brush on Fire. At 2 o'clock on Sunday, the last day of May, a bright light was seen from Hilo toward the south, which spread with great rapidity,and increased to such an intensity that it was immediately attributed to the volcanic erup tion. This the reports of the natives soon confirmed. It was judged to be thirty miles distant, and at night such was the brilliancy of the light that the finest print could be retie at that distance. This noon. tide brightness, converting night into day, continued for two weeks, and is represent ed by eye-witness to have been a spectacle of unsurpassed sublimity. It was like the :.;-low of a firmament on fire, and was seen for upwards of a hundred miles at sea. It also rose and spread itself above the lofty moubtain peaks, so as to be distinctly visi ble on the leeward side of the island, where the wind drove the smoke in dense and massy clouds. "The lava continued flowing toward the sea, which it reached on. Thursday, four days from its first egress. At times it would rush forward with a-velocity of four to five miles per hour,- hut for a short dis tance only, then become very sluggish,and move heavily and slowly on. Its general movement. was in immense semi-circular masses, owing to its great consistency. These would roll on, gradually accumula ting, until the mass had become too heavy to hold itself together, while the exterior was .partially cooled and solidified; then burstmg, the liquid interior flowing out wouldjoin a new stream, and thus aid in formirg another. By these accelerated progressive movements, the wave like rid. ges were formed, which are every where observable on the older currents. At times, it forced its way under the circumjacent soil, presenting the singular appearance of earthly rocks and trees in motion like the swell atilt) ocean. Mi. C. was standing near the stream and watching his progress, when the land beneath him began to rise, and to a few minutes he was ten feet above his companions, who were but a short distance from him. He had barely time to leave this dangerous situation when the earth opened and lava gushed out. The color ofthe whole stream was of the deepest crimson. Oa the windward side its heat was not powerful but that persons could ap proach and plunge sticks into the firey mass and draw forth specimens. So great was its viscidity, that large rocks were seen floating down the water like cork upon the water. In one night the stream spread from a few rods to half a tnile in width. "The spectacle, when this burning mass reached the sea, must have been awful and sublime in the highest degree. The con flict between the two antagonist powere,fire and water. was on a scale which the eye of man but seldom witnesses. The heavens were lit up in one intense glare, while streams of fire, like lightning, glanced about in every direction. Ashes and sand were thrown to a great height in the air, and descended for miles distant in showers of fiery spray. Volumes of smoke and stream rolled heavily up,rendering the lurid glare still more powerful, while the heavy 'detonations and loud reports of exploding gases and the roar of ' the conflicting ele ments were distinctly heard twenty-five miles off, like discharges of artillery. , •W ith such rapidity and to such a degree was the water heated, that the following day (June sth) the fish floated, when dead, as far as Kean, fifteen miles distant, where the water wa. hot to the touch." A RULE THAT WORKS BOTH %VARS..- Governor' Porter vetoes the bills that pass the Legislature, because he thinks the Leg. 'filature does not represent the people. Now the people will veto him next tall, because they know that the convention by which he was passed' did not .represent them. Wont that be turn about and fair play too? If David dont like that rule of his to work both waya,why he has furnished us with an• other. •.The Governor by the use that he has made ofihe . pardoning power, has - plainly given the people to understand that he will not permit any of his friends to be tried, now if he is kind enough to excuse his friends from being tried once, • would it not be ungrateful to them to insist upon trying him twice, especially as he has been already once convicted? The. Constitution says that no man shall be put twice in jeopardy for the same offence.--Doyiestown Foes Nsw STATcs. —During the next Congress, the Territories of lowa, Wiscon sin, and the two Floridas, will probably ask for admission to the American Union. Antidote to Poison.—lt is said the dead. Neat poison may be counteracted, by simply mixing two ounces of magnesia in a quart Of water, or the same' quantity of common whitening, and forcing it into the stomach by the 'readiest means at hand -..the stomach pump being the bell.

Business wanted at this Office. Prostriblion—The Policy and • '• Justice of Removals from . Office.. Wp observe some of the Federal papers clamor ing against the few removals from office that have been 'Made by the present Administration of the general government. We will do most of the Locefeeoe the justice, however, to say that they. do . iit contend for„the preposterous _ doctrine of keeping your political opponents in power, They have too clear a sense of political policy, and too keen en instinct of self-preservation, to practice it themselves; and they vlew with contempt the mawkishinagnanirnify of their opponents, who affect s purity of principle too lofty to drive their eneniies from the citadel, or banish a foe, who is aiming the dagger at their own 'Moats. Let us honestly and candidly consider whether it ii right to permit your political opponents to hold offices of trust and profit to the exclusion of your political friends. - If parties are honest each believes his principles ll well adapted to promote the great ends of govern ment, and his opponent's calculated to injure and ' retard the prosperity of the nation. It is the duty therefore of each party, as conscientious men, to our every honorable effort and means to propagate 'his views. end introduce his policy. How is that to be done? Not through agents who do ell in their power to disparage and thwart them. An Administration is not to be upheld by men who proclaim all its principles erroneous and ruinous to the country. The rnost efficient political mis• sionaries always are, and always will be the office holders. No manifestoes of the appointing power ever can, or ever ought to" privent this. The known opinions of men high in the confidence of the Bxecutive, although 'not improperly obtruded, will have great weight, and contribute much to shape and control public sentiment. It therefore becomes necessary for the government either to gag their office : holders, and make - them slaves, or select them from among those holding principles which they believe essential to the well being of community. It seems to us absurd to -remove the President and Heads of Department'and leave all the subordinates to enjoy the honors, the influence and the emoluments of office;—to attempt to dry up the ocean of error and corruption, and leave all the springs and rivulets in,full fountain flowing in their accustomed., channels, and emptying into their usual t:eservoirs.-- Nor can we eeel.any din tinction between the active, brawling partizan, and the quiet, sedate, prudent opponent, •except that the temperate, dignified and discreet conduct of the latter will give him more influence, and make him more powerful in error. - But independent of the necessity of piopegsting correct principles, and sustaining a wholesome inlininistration, vvhy should the honor and profits of office be withheld from our friends end squan dered upon our enemies? We have shown above that it is not dictated by enlightened patriotism, and we think all must see that it is forbidden by gratitude. Those who do most of the work, ex pend most of the money, and are found in the thickest of the fight in effecting all political rove• lutioni, or in defending the existing order of thing's are always the common people, the rank and file, who do not aspire . to the higher offices, but who are fit and willing to fill the lower ones. Why then, when the victory is won, shall the politleal Nobility, who have not soiled their gloves in the contest, place. themselves in fat offices, and mpg nanimously exclude those who have borne the heat and burden of the day? We shall take occasion hereafter to show that no Administration can perpetuate itself or its prin ciples by practising the doctrines which the pies ant 'Administration preach. If the fate of John Quincy Adams cannot open their eyes, it is the duty of the Democratic press to attempt it, end not be deterred by false modesty; and a sickly af fectation of ethereal disinterestedness, Death of Hon. Charles Ogle. Wo learn with the deepest regret, that the Hon. Quints Cora, the talented and distinguished member of Congress from Sonlereet, county, Pa., died, after a long and protracted ; illness i at his residence on the 10th inst. ~ lippres-let in the prime of life, and his preinntunit death fwill..be deplored by An extonsive . ...eirelo of rejetiVep and friends.
