Wilmington, N.C., Feb. 19, 1852. ., After our paper had gone to press last night, at about a quarter after eight o'clock, the House of Mr. John Nutt, on Red Cross, between 2d and 3d Streets, was discovered to be on fire, and with a new Kitch en, j shortly consumed the House itself not having been built more than twelve months. The house is raised on pil lars, and some combustible matter was placed under the back part of it, by some incen diary, and before the family were aware of it, the House was enveloped in flames. So rapid was the progress of the fiaufes that nothing of conse quence was saved. The supposition is that ex traordinary means were used to promote rapid ignition. Mr. Nutt was insured, but must have suffered considera ble loss, to what amount we do not know. !Mr. Nutt is a very meritori ous and industrious citizen, and has the sympathies of the whole community in this disas terthe second of the land which has occurred within a short time. A shell time after the above fire had taken place, say about 1 2 o'clock, the alarm was again given. The; fire originated in a small house occupied by some negroes in a narrow Alley, running from Front to Second street, between Priiices and M arket Streets. Prom this building it communicated to the Dwelling of Mr. Peter Harriss, which was consumed, together with his Kitchen and Bake House The fire then contin ued to rage till the houses of Mr. John Quince, Mrs. Betts, Mr. Baxter, and Mr. Betten court, yere entirely destroyed with all out buildings. The fire then communicated to a building belonging to Dr. De Rosset, occupied by Mr. David Thally, as part of his Hotel establishment, the upper story of which wa s destroyed an d the fire was stopped. Several were insured, but we regret that Mr. Peter Har riss was not, who lost his build ings and furniture. A LIGHTING THE STREETS. We move tliat Front Street he lighted, every dark night, from the" Baptist Church to the Rait Road Depot. Who seconds the motion ? LADIES KEEP SAKE. 1 We have received the February number of this neat and Interesting periodical. It is published monthly, at SI a year, by John S. Tavlor, 143 Nassau Street, New York. THE CONCERT. Thcueh not urfrcd by the usual stimulus of an advertisement, it is due to the management, from whom we received free tickets, as well as to the j merits of the performance, that we give a passing I notice to the Concert of Mademoiselle Parodi, which, took place at Masonic Hall, on Monday Evening- last. Herself is the leading character iu vocal music, though Patti, who assisted her has the very highest claims to merit. The gen tlemen who iKrrfornaed on the Violin and the Pi ano showed themselves to be masters of their art, and acquitted themselves much to the satisfac tion of the audience. Indeed the whole perfor mance, both vocal and instrumental, gave great delight to a large and intelligent auditor-. Thiktnd of music is not new to us. Wo have, at different pcrit ds. both in this country and Eu rope, witnessed the efforts of some of the finest and mostapproved artists, anddo not think we have ever seen any thing superior to Mademoiselle Parodi and her company, either in scientlfiio skill or brilliancy of execution. ; -We must confess, however, that we have never b.'cn able to acquire a warm attachment for oper atic music, either vocal or instrumental, as a ichoh. We appreciate the talent and industry that produce such excellent results, but unqualified admiration must be left to the more scientific and practised ear. The whole performance was: conducted with re fined and delicate propriety. There was nothing to excite forbidden passion or to stimulate unru ly and boisterous mirth ; and we congratulate the lovers of this order of musieal science, every where, upon the acquisition of this Company to the corps of artists, and the opportunity they af ford of gratifying their peculiar taste. "SUCH A BEAUTY I DID GROW." Many of our readers doubtless recollect the song under the above title, and from some re marks in the Journal of Tuesday, we may not be surprised if it becomes an appropriate ditty in these quarters. The Editors ; say, in their com ments on the Concert ; "Among the beauties present, we were enabled to ;comit three gentlemen connected with the press. ''A fourth -was there to whom modesty forbids us "to allude. - j So soon as the readers of the! Journal got as far as the word "press," in the above extract, they . - j. - knew, of course, that we were there. But who is the gentleman who cannot be named on the score of ' modesty 1" It was no other lhan ' the veneia ble," as one of the Editors is esteemed by his neighbor over the fay. We saw him, and hav ing left our spectacles accidentally at home, were desirous of borrowing his but he was in the same predicament. We got along very well, through the politeness of a young gentleman, a friend of ours: but how friend F. managed we cannot say. It is ceiiain he Could see what was "beautifnli" without glasses, spectacled or other wise. But though a gentleman can distinguish in this wise.it does not folllow that he can read small print. So we admonish I him not to forget his spectacles next time. But we had almost forgot the! "head and front," of our article. We think j it would have added greatly to the entertainment of tne evening if Mr. Hauser had played on his violin and accompanied the same with his vocalic art. the song alluded to above, which begins thus: "When I was a little boy, i ''Bout fifteen years ago,! "I was the pride of Mammy's heart,. ;She made me qu:te a show "Such a beauty I did grow, &c. " Hauser thus doing, and the aforesiad Editors in quadrilateral position just near enough to the music man to give a view that would warrant a fair comparison in the way of beauty, would have been delightful though it might have been a difficult case to decide. I i NEW LIGHTS. There is a new light coming! upon the world not mental, but physical. We see in our exchan ges, though in what paper the news-originated we are' xmablc to say, that a hew illuminating fluid has been developed in New York, which it is said, will in a great measure supersede spirit lamps, as soon as the Patent "Office can settle its doubts. Large manufactories of benzule, a hydro carbon which has the property of producing an ex cellent illuminating gas by being dissolved in moist air, are going up in New Yorkand Brooklyn. The substance1 is manufactured from tar, or mineral eoal. and, while it can be afforded at half the price of -'burning fluid" per gallon, it will yield immediately more illumination. The use of it would require a gasometer and gas fixtures in each house, but the cheapness of the consump tion wi ll put movable lamps of every kind nearly ont of use. 'I THE QUESTIONS OF THE DAY. We have heard it suggested that it would be best to let all persons desirous of fighting the bat tles of foreign nations, go without hindrance. We are not quite sure that this would not best-promote the quiet of our country. If the law of 1818 were repealed, and any one who saw fit, was permitted to take .his arms and provisions and "march off, with the assurance, of course, that he thereby put himself beyoud American protection, and could no longer laim the rights of citizen ship, the noise about intervention would be less sonorous; many a dinner speech would be spoiled and many a Bombastes Furioso, who now swa--gers and frets and fumes about the rights of the down trodden people of Europe would exhibit a character more like Sir Forcible Feeble, and which would be more truly appropriate, j ; And as the case at present standsr there arc chances enough to get off, without fuss, if the peo Xle choose it certainly there were plenty of op portunities to consummate their wishes, when the professedly republican Armies of Europe were in the field, and it was known that they wanted men and money to prevent them from being over whelmed. - Nobody talked of going then, because theie might bo a reality in the thing. Now they' are ready to go in the most furious manner imag inable; almost willing ta leave the "dinner fix ins" half consumed, and the bottle not quite emp ty tho' most of them, we guess, would stop to finish that. Yes, men Ulk of going to Russia) to ontend with the freezing cjiout of the B r, who would not go half a mi jo hi the face of one of our moderate wiuter-breezes, to help a. neigh But after all, the leading 'politicians, the ofiice seeki rs, are only dodging about to catca the po litical breeze, and their ad-lle-pated followers are wanted to aid iu a4enionstrati-: that is all a de ception they know that notjhhig will grow out of the prevailing humbug, in the way proposed, though" there may be a chance of iKIit:r.il pro motion in the ' noise and coiifuion" of the occa sion. Thus it is with one hi&h official, who shall be nameless, because he isnjot yel a candidate who feeing a fire kindling in the West, throws iu a little Senatorial fuel, by why of keeping it bur ning, peradventure he may have a chance to warm himself thereby. Oh, if th "candidates" could only get np a patriotic uproar and sweep the coun try with the Kossuth military besom at the ir.su ing Presidential Electiou, how becomingly the great West would put the nose of the Key Stony State ont of joint, and sweep Buchanan, the fa. vorite of the sober thoughjt of the Democratic Party, "from off the political platform, -Better: not try t kick up this dust. We charge the Siandard to notice our advicq on the subject. If the "nn territied" try this foreign 'j"pariotic" whirligig, they will be whirled, into a corner from which they cannot get out in less than four years, at soonest. We had rather take the chances of Fillmore and Buchanan, than to sec our country pass throngh the dissipation and excitement the issue above in dicated will produce but with certain victory to' the Whigs. There is too much American feeling in all parties in this country to permit the foreign to overshadow the notice gldry. The questions of the day icing the Mission of Kossuth and the Presidential Election, it will be well for the honor off our country if they do not become disgracefully oonjoiiied for any connex ion of the two topics) cannot but be disgraceful. Our hope is not that partisan leaders will spare the national character, if its immolation becomes necessary for present political purposes, but that the good sense, tho pride atid the patriotism of the main body of thjj peopl4 will decide that tho election of an American President is an American question and if there must be ?i .military1 influ ence in the issue, its shall arse on the merits and glory of our own championst and not those of for eign nations. ; 4 In regard to the proposition wllh which we com menced tins article, to lake joff all restraint in re lation to the movements of tfie festival heroes and willing dupes of their false prolessions, it may be well to think of it. If they were all out of the country we would be better off. This, however, is impossible, for thq indrstrious and useful class es ought not and will not go 1 The (worst of all is that those who "put! the bal in motion" will not follow its lead, in no ease, whatever. A repeal of the law might give us quiet, Those who now. like the bully, cry "hold me, -hold mo J" would then be as quiet as the mostjin:?nsc non commit- tal policy could dietat?. DEATH!

He was emi nently useful in the early stages of the efforts to accomplish what has; since bee jmc an important aid and sustenance to all thy industrial operations of this community. The strong opposition to his efforts never caused him to falter in his course, for he was immoveabiv fixedf inhis determination when the reflections of a strong and highly culti vated mind, which he possessed, convinced him, he was right.
