Governor Graham ha returned from hia examina tion of the Raleigh and Gaston Rail Road. He was accompanied to Gaston by the Public Treasurer, by George W. Mosoecai, Esq., the temporary Prosi dent of tha Company, John D. IUweins, Esq., of Franklin, one of ths Directors, and Mr. Holi.ite, Superintendent of the Road. We. are gratified to learn, that Uie Governor found the Road, excepting the section between Raleigh and Forestville, en which workmen are now operating, in mncb better condition 4 had ha had expected J and that, after a person. survey of almost the entire treok. and tha uepois, Xn,u,H.t.. nohle Bridires of the Company, and Hon the in.MCtrn of the Reports of its income for the past two year., made to the Court of Equity of Wake, he determined without hesitation, as the Agent and Representative of the State, at the sale of the com pany's property, to bernade on the 29th of Decem ber ne.'.t, to bid the maximum amount preacnoeu in the Act of the General Assembly at the last Session, vii: $100,000, and the Interest accrued thereon since tha Bopda for this amount, endorsed by the State, were issued which will be in all about $331,000. We are truly glad to find that such a result has been obtained, after a careful examination by the highest Officer of the State, upon his official respon sibility, with view to exercise the discretion vested , 4i in him by tha Legislature, so that ample justice may iw f H be done to the public but in the mode least injuri- to the Stockholders, who have sustained so great a loss in thia enterprise. The course adopted by the Governor, in, forming tad ipaking knows beforahand,hiadetarminalion op en thia aSbject, seems to M m tha highest degree proper. Whilst ;t is calculated to enhance the price of the Road, to the advantage both of the State and tha Stockholder, it gives notice to those who may de- sirs to compete in tha purchase, so as to enable them la makt arrangements for raising Capital and giving security for tha large sums involved iu the purchase open the terms required by the Law arrangement which it it obvious, from the limited means of indi viduals among us, could not be mads without a rea sonable lime for preparation. FIRE AT WILMINGTON. W copy into (hi paper, an account of another extensive Fire at Wilmington. Really, our sister Town seems, indeed, ill-fated. Calamity, after ca lamity of thia kiud, such as she has experienced, would have prostrated the energies of a less enter prixing community than Wilmington. In their pre sent affliction,' it is some alleviation,, to perceive, that the lose falls generally, where it can be borne with out much Inconvenience. We cannot let the occasion pass, without again pressing upon th attention of eur citizens, the ditty of ceaseless caution With respect to Fire." We have great reason to be thankful, for our long exemption from the distressing visitations which liave laid waste so many other portions of the country ; and we trust, by increased care and vigilance, to be long spared the painful necessity of recording any such Calamity among ourselves. We may have, indeed, in our midst, as they lied in Wilmington, some demon in human form, who may set at naught all our watch ing and precaution, and, iu a moment, give our property to the Barnes ; but the greater the necessity for being on the alert IT The celebrated " Mad Stone," in Caroline, Va.,i adveftised for-aaloi .

The Loco turned out as usual. The Whigs, though more nu nrerous than at a few previous elections, yet in a great measure neglected the polls, and the Native shrunk up amazingly. The Courier and Enquirer say : "The election retnrn which we publish this room ing, incomplete they are, show very conclusively that the greet way oi me w mgs who tuibu ,v, -per last spring have now returned to the old Whig rank, where they stand when the time slmll come to make effective opposition to the common enemy. The Native vote will scarce exceed 8,000, instead of th 17.UUU cast lor Harper., jne wmg vuuj win probably Ijot fall much short of 12,000. The ,Loo foco vote will probably be somewhat above 17,000; The Locofoco have undoubtedly carried their' intiro ticket," : " Tha Expreas snya ; ' For thia untoward resdlt, wa- areiere, as else where, indebted to the Native Americans, who hate led off Whir voters to urJite with LOcofocoe to form a third party.

The Election for members of the State Legislature, and one Representative in Coagress to fill a vacancy, took place in New Jersey on Tuesday. The returns are not yet all in, but enough is known to warrant the conclusion that New Jersey remains Whig, The results, so far as known, are thus stated iu the New ark Daily Advertiser of Wednesday afternoon : "Thu far all things look well. Notwithstanding the prevailing apathy, the Whigs have carried all their old counties in East Jersey, in most cases by in creased majorities. Passaic, Hudson, Essex, Morris, Somerset, Middlesex, Mrcer, all stand firm, side by side, in the Whig phalanx. There was an unfortu nate division among our fiiends in Passaic about the local offices of the County, and we have consequent ly lost the Sheriff and Surrogate, but have secured both the Assemblymen. Gallant little Hudson has proved herself worthy of the banner, and old Essex gives the great Whig brotherhood ef the country ano ther demonstration of her never-failing fidelity to'lhe caus4 devotioit to principle uperfor to all contin gencies. Morris county has administered another signal rehirhe to the free-traders who have attempted to mislead her iu the name of tho Tariff, end the Lo cofoco ticket, though headed by Mahlon Dickersou, late Secretary of the Navy, is defeated by a large majority. Somerset, Middlesex and Mercer have done every thing for the cause that could he asked. " The cars bring reported returns from. West Jer sey, by which we learii that the Wbigs have Glou cester by 100 majority. Cape May is W big, of course. The Natives have lost BurSngtou for us, and in this way, George Sykes is elected to Congress, as Mpn mouth, the other couuty iu the Second Congressional district, is Looo by a large majority. Camden has also been thrown into the arms of Loco Focoiscn by the Natives. P. S. The Whigs have majorities in both branches of the Legislature. EIGHT BAYS LATER FROM EUROPE. 'Th Steamer Caledonia arrived at Boston, on the 3d inst. bringing intelligence to the 19th of October. The price of Corn was rising rapidly. The wea ther in England contiuued most wretched for the crops. The iron trade was brisk, and the demand far be yond the supply. The state of trade in the manufacturing districts, doe not certainly give an indication of the existing feeling in the Cotton market. The.trade ie less brisk than it has been. - r The American Provision ' trade flourishes. The stock of Beef, Pork, and Cheese, is light ; and the state ef things in Ireland will have a tendency not only to improve prices, but to lessen competition. The Cotton market is depressed, the business trans acted is limited, prices liars a downward tendency, and bolder, evidently not at ease, show a desire to accept th current r&tea, aitd to press their stocks. The sale of the week , ending on Friday-,- onl y a mounted to 20,000 bale, and limited a this business is, it wa even more restricted yesterday for not more than 1500 to 2000 bags changed hand. HAPPINESS. The world has existed thousands of years. One generation has passed away, and auother has suc ceeded. They have all been searchers of happiness. What have they learned from the wisdom and ex perience of age f We should suppose that by this time, they would have discovered that the more we forget ourselves and become interested" for others, the mere we promote our own felicity. They bava the same common nature. Their hopes and their fear are the same. They must kaow that evHs are lessened by sympathy. They must know that joy is heightened by sharing it with others; (hat by mu tual asaiatanee they may 'smooth the rough path ef fife, susmount many piercing difficulties, and avert in numerable danger. Why, then, should we at tempt to deludeafSiot, and hurt th feeling ef our neighbour. ' If we hould b told,' says the Abbe Barthetemi, that two atraagera cast by cbaoc en a deceit island, had found ia the eeciety of each other a pleasure which indemnified them for being exclu ded from the rest of the world ; if we should be told that there exists a family entirely occupied inkrengtb ening the tie of cencengaiaity by the bond ef frieed ahip ; if we should be told tbat there exist ta som corner of the earth, a people Who know no other law than that of loving each other, nor any other crime than thU ef berag wanting in melual affection, woo ' would think of cammisseratiBg the lot ef the two ship-wrecked friends. Who wtfuid not wish to api J pert am to that family ; and would sot wish to so- joure is me most aistam cume to oujuj mo hkicit of so happy a people. ABROAD, 0 i Sabbatk in Jerutalem Motque ef David Mosque Omar Church af thehhly Sepulchre. To THK En'TO OF TUB REGISTEa I During oar sojourn in Jerusalem, we were hospita bly entertained in the house of a Missionary friend. There is nothing which can really be called a Hotel, or pitblicboarding houBB in the City, and travellers generally hire rooms in some of tha convents, with which Jerusalem abounds, and then provide their own food, bedding and other necessaries. On the Sabbath, ve assembled in an upper cham ber, in the bouse of our Missionary frien, and there engaged in religious worship. In the eyening, wa celebrated the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper, and it was interesting to us to feel, that we were in Hie very City, and near the very spot Where this ordi nance wa instituted. There was Ueed ometbiog melancholy in the eflectio, that m the very City, uce so favored of God, there were now but few, who had any love-for the Saviour or desired to kepp Him in grateful remembrance. Aud yet, it wis cheering to think of die thousands of Sacrameitt:tl tables, that had been spread, suicf the ineinoruble night, of our Lord's betrayal, and of the unuumbered blessings that had been scattered over the world, through the merits of the Saviqnr's death. . During my stay iu Jerusalem, I maile the excur sion of the City walls; but he who " walk,: about Zion" now and attempts to " mark well her bul warks und tell the towers thereof," will be sur prised to find, tfmt this City, is now so feebly defen ded. A well disciplined army, with the instruments of modem warfare, would readily obtain an entrance. There are two or three buildings ontsido of the City walls, the principal one of- which is the Mosque of David. Within this Motxjue is the reputed tomb of that excellent King of Israel, and there is much reason, to believe that he was really burled there or not far therefrom. Outside the present enclosure of the City, sy a quarter of a mile distant, we traced the foundations oC tho outer wall of the ancient City, for it should be understood that its present circumference, is much less than it was in the days of its greatest glory. Quite a large part of Mt. Zion, for example, is now outside the City wall, aud instead of seeing it crown ed with Towers and Palaces, 1 saw a swarthy Arab turning np some of its soil with his plough, and other portion of it, waving with ripening grain. How for cibly did I then, realize, that " Zion is trodden down of the Gentiles !" My limits will not permit me to speak jn detail, of my visits to the Convents, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the Mosque of Omar, the Pools of Gihon.l the Valley of Gehenna, the brook Kedron, the Gar den of Gethsemaue, the Mount of OliveH, Bethany, Bethlehem, and other interesting localities. I must content myself with a few remarks. The Mosque of Omar is the most conspicuous edi fice iu Jerusalem. It is nituated on the Eastern side of tho City near the wall, and stands on the site of the ancient Jewish Temple. 'When I fpeok of visi ting this Mosque, I do not mean that I went into it, for that is not allowed either to Jew or Christian.' The most that the Mohammedans permit ns to do, is to look in to the outer courts. This Mosque is es teemed by them very sacred, second only to the one at Mecca. It was built by Omar, one of tho early Caliphs ; it has two courts, the inner one of which is paved with beautiful marble it is octagonal iu shape is covered with an immense dome, from which high in the air, peers the gilded crescent. The Church of the Holy Sepulchre is another prominent building in Jerusalem. It covers tho re puted Sepulchre of orir Lord, and hence is highly es teemed, by all tho nominal Christian sects. The Church of the Sepulchre proper, is a vast rotunda with various galleries rising successively one above auother far up to the immense dome with which it is surmounted. In the centre of this rotunda, is the re puted tomb of Cliritit, being boukj 15 feet in length, and some ten or more high. It is entered at one eud by a door, and is divided into two apartments, the in ner one of which according to Ihe tradition, covers the sepulchre iu which our Lord was laid. A beau tiful wliite marble slab, covers the reputed " sepulchre hewn out of the rock," and gold and silver pliiteil lamps hang iu profusion over this venerable spot. Having no confidence in the tradition in regard to this sepulchre, I cannot say, that I felt while in it, ay of the peculiar sensations, which I should hope to experience, if I should stand at the real tomb of our Lord. .

The Square, bounded by Market, Front, Pock, and Water street, is, with the exception of two buildings, a iniiss of smoking ruins. Tho fire hroks out at about, half pant twelve, Tuesday morning, in Henderson's Alley, not very far from the entire nf the squire, in a.amall shed like wooden hnildmg attached to a larger wood, en building which h.id been formerly uwd ae a bar-roofti, but for some weeks had not been occupied. Radiating off in every dircriion from thiii point, the fiainjes made rapid projrrees towards tho outside buildings of the siy.iare. Mit of these, (ajl facing MarkeC Street, anil oue-haif perhaps of those on the other boundaries (ffthe square,) were biiflt of brirki as wert as some of those sit uated in the central portions of the square. By half past three ocjo.k the work of destruction was done. Twp ejr three buildings on tho square next South weWon fire at une.titne, but were saved without material damage. The square de stroyed was not compactly built, except that por lion of it fronting oti Market street ; tbat w-ae al logetlmr covered by building. Tliere was a light breeze from the North when the tire commenced, but as it progressed, the in tense heat caused a furious ragiiijf all wuliui ftiid iuimediaiciv arounll the blazmo area. 'None of i(,e bnildiiif;fl ronsumcd were of qreat value, nctt one worth it is supposed over 811,000. Tliere were but three or lour families living on the square ; most of the buildings beinff used by retail deaieraf dillorent kinds. The larger part of almost every stock of goods was saved beore the fue reached l ho store containing it, and some saved about every thiiii;. The ni.mber of buildings destroyed was be. hye-en forty anil forty-five, of which thirty. one or two were of brick. We Coti.n.ite the loss lhu: in buildings e."i0. 00!?,, iii incrcli mdize 10,000. As to insurance, as near as no cm learn, it is likely that about 855,000 of the loss, tali-injf building atul mer chaild(j!C together, will tali upon various offices. We have not been able to st at the particulars of each individual's prohibit; loss, ut may say tliatno one loses very heavily, the tiilrthcii falling fm the shoulders of many. The two buildings spared by th- (limes are the unfinished brick ones of Mr. J. A.Smtaa, and j Mr. A. V. V. Hewlett, tho firt standing on ' I'ront Street, thu last about midway between I Front 'and Wator.'oii an alley. Uoth were near ; ly isolated from oihiTsund presenting but si.iall I surfaces of wood, wore preserved by axlraordi- nary effort. During the progress ef the fire,. a sad accident beful our worthy and esteemed Magistrate ol Police, Col. John McKse, who, whilst busily en irnged in discharging the dutieB of Firo Warden, was caught under the falling wall of a buildinp;, and had Ihe bones of his left leg most dreadfully fractured. Tbiamelancholy casualty has excited throughout the community feelings of the pro founded Hvmnathv and rep-ret. Col. James T. Miller was hIho caught undor the e mie tailing mass, and had one of his feet considerably bruised. There is not a doubt in ihe niiiid of any one that this disastrous conflaeration was caused by the hand of a diabolical incendiary. Two or three attempts had been inado before,-within a short period, to fire tho squsre. Tina time has the fiend incarnate succeeded in accomplishing a pur pose tin; atrocity of which words cannot express. And now it is our most unpleasant duty to say, that this lire came upon us with lite Fire Depart ment of tile-1 ' in a state of dtsorganhal'uoy This lamentable condition of things lias been brought about by a law passed altbe last session of the l,gis!aluro ; (Chapter 28 of the Acts of that session. ) That law has been construed by Ihe, militia authorities to require militia service from all the Firemen of Wilmington, ami they ha ving been summoned to render that, with ono ac cord rceigricd their situation as Firemen. The CommisMoiiGrH of the town, seeing, the dilemma we were placed in, have been for several weeks diligently engaged in an endeavor to re-orgatuze the Fire-. Companies, by virtue of an old, law which they considered gave them authority to do so, notwithstanding the act of last session. This object they had not fully carried into effort when the lire of yesterday morning occurred. Respec ting the law in question we shall have more lo ay at a future period. The citizens i;cnorally, and the colored poople also, were extremely active in. .working the en gines, tire-books, i,c, and tho success of their elforts to confine Ilia devouring element within the limits' of the square prrwud t Ice,. value of the services rendered. The Fire Wardens too did their duty admirably. Annexed is as full a list of the suuVrers as we have been able to make up amidst the confusion of the time.

A week or two ago we copied a paragraph which has been going tho rounds, staling that in ihe town of Alton, Illinois, with a population of 3,000, there were but twelve unmarried females eleven of whom sre engaged, and the twelfth is a widow who has had three husbands. Now fof the other side of the story. We re ceived a few days ago a letter Irom a subscriber, at ihis identical place, Alton, in the Htale of Illi nois. Awd nhat does he say .' Hear h i in : " Presuming, fiietul .Hale, that some portion of the readers nl your invaluable sheet in the goevd old " North State," would liHe to hsar from the " Far West," say to them, that ihe "Sucker State" has been unusually sickly during the pre sent season, but notwithstanding ihe est inordinary number of rases of bilious and.t'ong'stive levers, there have been rcuiparateiv few deaths. I is the county in winch 1 live, (Macoupin,) there are, at Ihis tune, two-thicU of the mucus v1h have the chills and fever ; and in tho counties adjacent, there is an equ-ul degree of sickness. Could some of those discontented youngsters of o il pNorth Carolina, who are anxious to emigrate to the West, be in Illinois ut this tune, and see the pale-faced, bloated-cheeked, sucker girls, anil compare their present appearance with the bright. eyed, rosy-cheeked lasses of the good oM North Htale, their migrating fever would cool olTat once, and they would be willing and contented to re main at home and improve that gjorious old .State My advice to them, is to remain at home, for though -others' lands may be more fertile than theirs, there is no place equal to North Carolina for both general intelligence nud social worth." The girl, widow, or wife, must be sadly in want of a husband, or exceedingly desirous to get rid of one, who will go to such a place. Better stay in the " Old North." There ia a whole volume of sound sense in those few lilies of our correspondent, for what ho says is tho result of the observation and expert ence of .South and West. In adition to what he lias stated, it is well known that nearly all the States in the Union are deeply in debt, ami that to pay morely the interest on the ilelit it is' nec essary lo impose taxes to an extent never dream cJ ol'in North Carolina. What is still worse, a number of them make no effort to p,y even tho interest, but repudiate practically, if not avowedly. Michigan, we soe, has to pay Jji'.'iV) OOJ of inter est next year ; and her treasury is empty. Sho must either lay an enormous lax, or sell her rail roads, or repudiate. Tho interest of the debt ol Pennsylvania is about 1, 000,000, and she, too, after a few years of practical ropiidiai ion, is sel ling nil' her public works to pay the debt. And so the list might be extended to nearly all the States. And what are the taxes in North Caro lina? The State tax is but 0 f onts on the $100 worth of land.; and its aggregate amount is about one third of what the litile Htate of Michigan re quires to pay interest alone. Let our citizens ponder on these things Lef.ire they conclude to leave the Old North for any such land of promise Fayellti ille tsrtw.
