Destructive Fire at Lansinlm/rg.—A
fire broke out about half past 4 o'clock yes-
terday afternoon in the stables attached to
the large hotel in Lansingburg. knoiin as

tended to the main building antl to it brewery
belonging to Mr. Parmlec. and thence
spreading north and south. raged for three
liotirs with great fury. destroying about
thirty five buildings and dtiniaging nearly
as many more. Among the buildings con-
sumed are the Rcnsselear House, a fine
brick hotel with extensive stables, sheds.&.c.
a large nutnber of brick and wooden dwel-
ling houses; a large brewery and soap
factory: the printing office of the Lansing
burg Gazette; a dozen or more stores and
nearly a score of workshops, sheds and out
buildings of various kinds. The total
amount of property destroyed or injured by
the fire cannot fall short of $45,000, on
which there wasinsurcd about $15,000. Of
this sum $25,000 is-insured in the Rousse-
lear County Mutual Insurance Company;
seine two or three thousand in the Troy
offices, and 82000, we believe, in the Albany
Insurance Company. The confligrntion
was checked about 7 o'clock, by the united

with riiuch sorrow that we record the death
of the distinguished artist Washington Alls-

at Ctimlzritlge on Satnrd-iy evening lust, aged
64. His loss will be universally regretted.
It is generally known that Mr. Allston corri-
menced a scripture piece about fiftern years
ago, and that much of his time had been
devoted to it up to his death. The supposi-
tion is. that this great picture of "Belshaz-

A New Negros Nation.—From an ex-
tract published in the Albany Argus. and
derived from the narrative of Mr. Wilson. a
Missionary in Africa, we learn that he has
discovered a nation of Ethiopians never be-
fore seen or described by any white man.—
Mr. VVilson is stationed on the G-iboon river
which empties into the Atlantic ttboutttventy
miles north of the equator.
The mission is at the mouth of the river.
but, having a fine opportunity, Mr. Wilson
accompanied Toko, it distinguished negroc
merchant, up the Gaboon and its tributary,
the Big Orombo, to Kobnngi’s town, fifty
miles from the ocean, on the Bawke, a
branch of the Big Orotiibo. This was as
far up the river as he ascenlt-d. VVhile
there he met with a new nation of Africans,
“some of ivhotn were said to come five days’
journey and others too or twelve days’ jour-
ney from the interior," that is, front two to
four hundred miles from the sea coast. He
calls them the pangwe people. br-cause they
came from the direction in which a country
of that name lies. The distance from the
coast indicates that they catne frcin Ethiopia;
and probably this people may spread over
that vast unknown region of Africa.
The existence and use of iron of their own
nianitfzicttirc seems very remarkable, and,
philosophers would say, indicntcs an advan-
ced‘ state of civilization. The non-existence
of slavery and the slave trade among them
shows a feature still more distinctive frotn
the ordinary African.
Tlie Steamship Calumbit.-VVc learn
from slips from the offices of the Boston
Times and Mail that there is no longer hope
that the Colninbizi will be saved, but that
she has probably before this gone entirely to
pieces. The St. John’s Morning News of
Wednesday contains additional particulars
concerning the vessel. The ladies were
taken ashore bya boat from Seal Island
Light, and the rest of the passengers were
successful in saving all the valuable furni-
ture on board. The Columbia had driven
on the rock five feet above high water mark,
broke her back on Wednesda ', and at the
last advices was swinging by her bows-—cer-
tain to be dashed in pieces by the Qirdinaryw
commotion of the waves and winds. The
passengers held a meeting, at which Hon.
Abbott Lawrence presided, and adopted reso-
lutions acquittins Captain Shannon of all
blame. and thanking.-the. officers, stetvards
and crew for their efforts. and proposing to
raise a sum of money to compensate them
and the inhabitants of the island for their
generous hospitality. The report that the

Emigmnts ll-'ortlr. Ha.vin.g.—Two Nor-
wt-gian barques arrived at this port yester-
day, with 255 passengers, nearly all of
whom are agriculturists. It is their inten-
tion to proceed at once from the vessel to the
tow boats, and fromtlience to the interior;
and as they have, brought a considerable
qnantityofspecie with them, they cannot
fail to be-csrnc a valuable acquisition to the
neighborhood near which they may locate.

will be tnuch larger this year than usual-

For three years past the Fourth of July
has been celebrated by a tliscltarge of can-
non, &.c. at Sberbrooke, Lower CilnZt(.ltl.-
This year the firing was executed immedi-
ntely under the British flag, which so in-
ccnscd a number of the inhabitants, that it
riot ensued in which several on both sides
were seriously injured. The Canadians
have undoubted right to ‘sympathize’ with
us in the celebration ofthe Fourth, as much
as they please. Why not ?

Tut-2 APos'roLic Succi-:ssioN.—In watching
the progress of the great Tractarian \Var iii
the Church of England, we have uniformly
derived our statements from the publications
under the control of men who are themselves
connected with the Establislinient or with the
Episcopal Church in this country.. The fol-
lowing from the London Record, that well
known Church of England paper. we present
to show the light in which the principle of‘Stic-
cession” is now held by some Evangelical inert
in that communion.
‘The opposite peril to that of using rash
or irritating language against 'l‘ruct-.irian
doctrines obviously is, the selection and
adoption of some one or more of their (‘in-
cics, by men who, on the whole would shrink
from the imputation of favoring the new sect.
Sonie doubtless, have been driven into the
Tractarian ranks by veht-tnent and excess-
ive state-rm-nts in opposition to them; but
more, fill‘ more have received ti taste
for their system, front hearing their own gen-
erally sound pastors assert and mairitain
some one of their fundamental doctrines.
‘Perhaps the particular point in their the-
ory, which is received with the most extru-
sive favor is, that ofthe 'apostolica| success-
ion of the clergy who have been t-piscopally
ordained. There is something especially
gratifying to the inate feelings of the human
heart in the ldt’:l of poscssing a peculiar
privilege, a privilege which few (compara-
lively with the millions) can share; a privi-
loge, too, which removes the Dissenting
preaching into a totally different sphere. and
fL‘fl(lt'fS it impossible that there should in
future be any sort of competition or rivalry
between the two. Hence it is not cxtraor~
dinary that many clergymt-n. heretofore des-
ignated Evangelical. and who would cling to
the doctrine ofjustificzition by fztitli, haven-
dopted the views pronitilgatctl by the Oxford
school on this point, and have been very car-
nest in insisting on the necessity ofa regular
conirriission, derived by the line of apostolic
succession, to take a titan out of the ranks of
the laity, and confer on him the ministerial
character. at any time, in any place. and un-
der any circumstances.
‘We believe,--in ftict we are certain,—
that this tetiet, embraced with zeal, has in
innumerable cases, led the recipients into
Trnctarianism, and in some, has landed them
at latSl. in Popery.
‘There is nothing at all difficult to under-
stand in this. The tenet, in the 'l‘rnctttrian
system. occupies a very important place, and
is the center of msiny other doctrines indisso-
lubly connected with it; but embraced and
assested alone. as some of the Evangelical
clergy have attempted to assert it, it leaves
the mind ofthe inqiirer craving and unsat-
isficd.
‘To one who has a firm hold of the doc-
trine ofjtistification by fsiith, the wholetheo-
ry of apostolic succession is it matter possess-
ing little interest. But in the Tractariun
system it is essential, always operative, and
the source of all grace and virtue.
‘That system broadly declares that salva-
tion comes, not by preaching, not by faith,
but by the szicraments. It then goes on to
argue, that the sacraments must. be valid to
be ofthe least utility; and that none can be
so empowered but by receiving his t.‘0fllflllS'
sion from those who can trace their success-
ion up to the apostlts of our Lord, and so to
our Lord hiinself. Fully believed and hon-
estly carried out, this systern carries the in-
qtiirer straight into the bosom ofthe Romish
Church. as the only one which can fttlly and
satisfactorily exhibitsucli a siicccssion.
‘What would we do then, with this modern
fincy .7 Modern we style it, for we appre-
hend that until within the last ten years, its
very natne has scarce been heard for some-
thing more than a century past, at least in
the English Church. We would deal with
it almost as Scott and Newton and Simeon
dealt with it; that is, HS not worth :1‘ serious
discussion. We would deztl with it as the
apostle Paul dealt with it; for it must have
been of some kindred matter that he spoke,
when he so carefully warned both his suc-
cessors; 'l‘itrioth_v, ‘not to give heed to fable-s
and enrllcss genealogies, which minister ques-
tions. rather than godly edil_ying;’ and Titus
to ‘avoid foolish questions, and genealogies,
and contentions and strivings about the law,
for they are unp-rig Liable and pain.’
‘Not once does the Church 0fEflglilDd|)li1C€
the authority of her ministers, or the validity
‘Those.’
‘she declares, ‘ought we to judge lawfully
called and sent,’—not ivho can prove their
succesion to the apostle-s,—-but, ‘which bi-
chosen and called to this work by men who
have public authority given unto them in the
congregation. to call and send ministers into
the Lord’s vineyard. Thus in the most site
cinct and admirable manner. are all doubts
and scruples set at rest, and tlie‘fooll3h ques-
tions aud genealogit-s avoided.’ Those
preachers, therefore, who would go beyond
the Cliurc/L, and insist on that which Slit’
has so clearly refused to prescribe, ought to
be careful least they make themselves and
their bearers too high Clll'l!‘Cl1tltL'D. to. rest

Explanation.-—‘f.'«= learn that some of our
friends have rriisapprehcntled the scope of
some of our retnarlts yesterday, in refert nce
to the propriety of efforts, by the friends of
Mr. Tyler, to organize. We do not mean
an organization by them of ti scpnrae, and
independent party. On the contrary we
claim to belong to the Dcuiocrntic pirty,and
we recognize the duty of conforming to its
tisagr-s, and abiding by the decision of a fair
itiajority in its conventions. But Wilt-‘ll we

friends of Mr. Tyler should. in like manner
avotv their choice, and explain the high
grounds on which they present him to the
people.
But all this shotild be done in the genuine
republican spirit. It should not be factions.
It should not be in hostility to the grezit
Democratic party, but in unison with it, and
with 3 view of carrying out its great princi
plus and insuring its success.

Notice to Endorscs.—A principle of some
importance to holders of promissory notes
has been established by the Supreme Judi-

vs. VVt~b5ter. Mr. Webster was sued as first
cndorscr of it promissory tiote which had

sent to Wasliington, when» Mr. We-bstcr
then riotoritiusly was. attending to his duties
as :1 member of the United States S"n:'tlt:-—
