On last Sunday night quite a severe storm passed over this place. It did not rain iiukIs, but the wind and thunder and lightning vrrc terrifiV. The weather was as warm as it usually is in the summer. The Wilmington Journal says that the storm was very violent at that place. A brig broke from her moorings and two schooners were slightly damaged. At. lialtiitKjrc tlie storm raged violently. 13 vessels were c.-ipsied in the harbor, and nine persons drowned. In 1'hiiadclphia and New York roofs were blown ulf and walls of buildings in process of election thrown down. Near Xew York 13 dead bodies were picked up that had washed us li ore. On Thursday night there was another hard blow, with' snore lightning, but little rain. W. Li. Kennedy of Beaufort, John W. Cunningham of Ferson, M.J. MeDufiie of Cum berland, and John 0. Yancey of Madison, have been appointed by Gov. Bragg as his Aids, with the rank of Colonel. Corxcii, of Sr.vrn. Governor Bragg has notified the Council of State to meet in Raleigh on the 5th of February. ZiJ- We see it stated that larg? quantities of North Carolina produce go to Petersburg and Norfolk every week, and that the most of the produce going to Raleigh by the Central Railroad passes on into Virginia.. This is what we expected. Our Wilmington friends will find that the only Railroad calculated to carry western prod ice to their market, to any great extent, is a road west from Fayetteville. Duncan K. McRao, Esq, U. S. Consul at Paris, is said to be dangerously ill, and but little hopes entertained for his recovery. Ztsy A report having gained circulation that the Secretary of the Treasury, Mr Guthrie, in tended to resign, the Washington Union says it is not so. Says the Union, "such an idea was was never entertained for one moment hy the President or Secretary, and we may as well add that the rumors which have gained circulation within the last 18 months with regard to con templated changes in the Cabinet, and all ru mors of dissensions between its different mem bers, or between any one of them and the Pre sident, are each and all absolutely and entirely groundless." Finns. A destructive lire broke out in Char leston on the 19th, in Chalmers street, destroy ing property to the amount of 25 or $30,000. In Richmond, on Saturday night, a fire oc curred ou Caray and Canal streets. Several dwellings and stores were consumed. In New York six buildings in the Bowery were burnt last week. Coxt;iu:.ss.

By an advertisement, it will be seen that the Board of Commissioners intend to establish a Town Guard, to be com posed of four men, at a salary of $250 each, to do duty every other night. The number is too small, but it is better than none, far better than thc old system of patrolling. It cannot be expected that the citizen patrol will stand guard nil niga, and the very time the patrol generally retires is the time watching is most needed. Attention is directed to the supplement accompanying this paper, of proposals for car rvincr the mails in this State. Sir Biggs and the Western Extension. Just at this time there is a good deal unne cessary censure being indulged in with regard to the Hon.

The talk about Mr Biggs resign- uig ins seat m tlie united fctates benate to 1 ,i - , i . . 1 . which he has been recently elected, is all iram - mon. Mr Biggs knows that the democratic party are just as well satisfied with him as their representative in the FT. S. Senate as they would be with any other democrat. Whatever may be the views and wishes of letters writers at Raleh, we can assure them that their attempts to injure Mr Biggs in the estimation of democrats by accusations of in sincerity and inconsistency on the subject of internal improvements, will hardly be successful. At any rate Mr Biggs will scarcely he prejudged Iiy his true political friends before he has had an opportunity to be heard in his own defence. The exposition may take that course not we. Tub L A ST K.I xtexsion- In the House of Commons ou Monday, the bill to extend the North Carolina Railroad east to Beaufort pas sed the third time.

This was a mistake, for we see nothing of the kind in the resolutions of that body. The following are two of tlie resolutions adopted: "Resolved, That the democracy of Ohio arc attached to the Union of the States, and to the constitution, in which are expressed the princi ples and the compromises upon the faith of which the Union was originally established, and by a strict adherence to which alone that Union can be preserved; and the' denounce, as dan gerous to the peace and liberties of the country, all attempts to organize political parties with reference to geographical or sectional dis tinctions. "Resolved, That the democracy of Ohio do at the same time fully recognise th'j doctrine held by the fathers of tlie republic, and still main tained by the democratic party in all the States, that to each State belongs tlie right to adopt and modify its own municipal laws, to regulate its own internal affairs, to hold and maintain an equal and independent sovereignty with each niwl nt-ni'r St'itf .lint tti-it ni-kfl iliccfi tii'titc f lio national ' legislature can neither legislate nor ,eft without any appeal, and the sheriff had or encroach." j ders to commit him to prison if he failed to The Ohio convention did not denounce sla-1 very, and the report that it did was put in cir- dilution by the telegraph, which has got to be very unreliable in these days. The New Hampshire papers state that the j democracy of that State have a new element to j contend against. A negro preacher has taken j the stump against the democrats and in favor of know-uothingism and abolitionism. He aims a good deal of his abuse at President Pierce. A correspondent of the N. II. Patriot says the substance of his speech at Concord was in these words: "Now, frens, jes so long as de people 'tinue to countenance dem good fo' nuftin for eigners, jes so long we poor colored pussonsaud de whole liberty party will be of no account." CSS"- It is rumored that a Know-Nothing Council for tlie State has been in session in this City during the present yeek the object being to influence the Congressional elections in August next. One thing is certain, many strangers from various portions of the State have been here; and among them we have, recognized a number of old-fashioned and inveterate Whigs, But few democrats, we believe, have been se duced into this secret organization. Raleigh Standard. We understand the order at this place was represented by three or four gentlemen of the whig part'. Is it not plain that this same know-nothing movement is whiggery in dis guise. If there was no other proof that one of the main objects of this secret order is the defeat of the democratic party, the mere fact that nearlv everv whig paper in Nortb Carolina ! favors it and every democratic paper opposes it, .i . j " . , ..i i ..! is sufficient to sustain the truth of thc assertion, ,,,, ,. - v uo heads the know-nothiiiar party in this r,. . , , V- i fetater Kenneth Rayner, a whig, and a man , , , J ' , ' . who has alwavs been opposed to the democratic . , . 11 .... party.

A legal coui'Temain" 1 1 will be remeni- bercd that some time ago a fugitive slave was arrested in Mihvaukie, but before he could be delivered to his owner, a mob, led on by a man named Booth, the editor of an abolition paper, rescued him from the custody of the mar shal. Under a writ issued by the U. S. Dis trict Judge, Miller, Booth was arrested. Re cently on the eve of the trial, Booth swore out a capias against Judge Miller, requiring bail in the sum of $5,000, which he had to give or go to jail, as he had no court to apply to for a dis charge, for the court was under arrest. If a juror or witness attending court had been ar rested, he could have applied to the Judge and been discharged. But the Judge himself was procure bail. To avoid incarceration the JudgJ gave security and proceeded with the business of the court. The abolitionists resort to ail sorts of rascality to defeat the law. The French Universal Exhibition.. The reception of articles for the great exhibition at Paris in May next commenced the middle of the present month. Mr James Swaim, chair man of the board of Commissioners for the U.
