They wee alt unavailing. In a very few moment? the flames extended themselves to the larse brick building, and to many small Vnoden.v: buildings in its vicinity. In a few minutes, more, the roof of the Town House caught, and that building was soon enveloped in flames. ; From thence four large torrents of flame were seen pouring in as many directions along the lour pnn-: cipal streets of the town, with a rapitlity and force which defied all stay or resist ance. In a western direction, the fire extended itself up Hay street, on the right hand a short distance beyond the point of its intersection with Old street, extending backwards in a northern direc tion to tiie very ede of the creek, em bracing in its devocing sweep the inter mediate buildings on Old street and Maiden lane. And on the left as far as Mr. Cannte's wooden building, being the next house below Mr. John MacRae's long row of wooden buildings, at the Wa gon Yard, extending back southwardly to Franklin Street. Along Green Srreet the-fiames progressed -northwardly, cross ing the creek, and consuming in their transit Mr. Eccles's mill, store, and dwelling house, and the handsome bridge erected a few years since by the town, sweeping before them many valuable buililings,iucluiling the Episcopal Church, on the right hand side of the street, until they reached th'c private resilience of Jas. Senwell, Esq: which was saved, by a providential turn of the wind, and the active exertions of a very few persons with water and blankets. On the left hand side of the street, they progressed until fney were stopped at the house of J. W. Wright, Kq. by blowing it up, antl extended back until they reached the house of T. L. Hybart, Esq. which was saved by exertions of great activily and perseverance. Along Person street they destroyed every building on both sides ns far eastward ly us a few doors be low Liberty Point, including the store of Mr. Wm. Mclntre, situate on the oppo site point formed by the junction of Per son street and Cool Spring alley, extend ing back .northwardly as far as the eilge of the creek, construing the Presbyterian Church, Catho'ic char.el, and all the other' buildings (with the exception of the dwelling bouse, mills and warehouse of Mr. J as. II. Hooper, nil of which were saved with much exeriion) including the buildings on both sides of Bow street. Along Gillespie street, the flumes extend ed as far as the State Bank building, on the right-hand side; which being nearly fire proof enabled the citizens to contend successfully w'uh the flames at that point, and to save tlfat building' On the east ern side of the street, they destroyed ev ery building, to a point opposite the State Bank building, anil extending eastward! y so as to include all but three of the build ings on Dick street between Person and Mumford-'streefs. It is impossible to form any correct es timate of the entire loss in real estate There probably is no instance in history of so large a portion of a town being con sumed, where it was hot the result of vo luntary human agency The fire contin ued to rage with uuabatiiig fury until about six oclock, when, by the blowing up of houses, and the other means usual on such occasions, it was suddenly de prived offood for its raging appetite.

I the Banks were all so fortunate as to becure fthe whole of their money, books,' ind valua ble papers, although their losks must be great in the destruction ofiifeat estLte, and the enire and partial prjttratioa; of so-many of their debtors. ;t is a jre markable circumtatice, that s;(me mohey and many valuable papers, cft in -the vaults of the two Banks, were! taken ;out afier the fire uninjured. j t It is due to all the citizens jto ay, that f their, exertions were unrein'iitiig wjiile their strength lasted, wherever there was a prospect of effecting any thing,, and; al though many were ready toliaipt under their labors, and some were partially burnt, it is a v'teat alleviation' to: our sor row to be able to ay that nd lives were lost. . , I - j The slaves and other colored popula tion, deserve yeut credit for, their ton duct on that eventful day ; there was! no thing like riot or disorder among them,' but tiiey all seemrM to work with; a zeal-land intrepidityfcfcwjih manifested a hearty sympathy in. the com nib n cause, and that devotiqn to flieiterests of their masters so remarkable in the African character, before a sickly. and false ; .htiinanity jhad instilled into his bosom the prison ofMis- content, and alienated his feelings from those whom God hath appointed him to serve.

But a varietiy of causes combined to render al their efforts for a long time unavailing, andthe last rem nant of strength & resolution! was nearly expended before the enemy was subdued The day on which it occulted was; un- propitious. I he citizens had iustj re turned to their houses from their several places of worship, in that state of mental calm,.& composure,whichtheilavand their late employment were so we;l calculated to inspire; and which -however propitious to the, attainment ot spiritual strength, is perhaps not the most favorable statfe of teeling tor suddenly ami unexpectedly en gaging in any temporal strjfe or labor.

In the most unsettled periods of our history ;t here can hardly be found such an instance of extraordinary and sudden abandonment j ut . the deliberate character. The cour ;tcsie of society were violated on all aides, and the personalities amnuutin al ! most to ruder modes bf expression, pp.ss- ed amongst the lords during the clamor. ( Instances of opprobrious language have . been communicated to u, whichhowev- tr we decline pubhing.

INSURANCE. this The recent calamitous Fire at Fayctteville, reii- dered the more so, by the limited insurance upon property, brought to our recollection a communication recently published in the JVa-. tioral Intelligencer, which appeared to us, at the time, to contain somr; valuable suggesti ons. We are confirmed in our impression, on its re-perusal, and think it capable of being made the groundwork of an eligible mode of Insurance. We subjo n such parts of ifas are necessary- to a proper ntiderstanilipg of the phin which the writer has in view : The nroiect I have that every ncrson nwniniriimnrtv pay one dollar on every thousand that the property may be worth,, every year ; and from every calculation that can be made, this wjU-fjay more than the average a moant of property consumed by fire or otherwise. 1 have taken fhe pains to as certain the value of property, say houses and furniture, in this city, and from that amount, there would be "three thousand seven hundred and twenty 'Hollars contri buted every year, as a fund for tiijf pur- r Vaj,il6luli rouiiuing-or repairing J uiisMiiieu orinjiiretu X have no doubt, faking these circumstantes into view, that not only the wealthy, but those whohave .but Bve dollars iinvested in a small tenement will sp h the project, add would be glad of an op portunity to live secure for so small an mounras it would take to jnsnre his pr6 perty should this project go into operati on.

No Colfector need be e,n. ployed, as it might be obligatory on evm person to pay the money on the dav ti;e"r insure. I submit the foregoing for'pnli'hc consideration : and hope that it mav pove a lasting benefit to them.
