At half past 8 o'clock la.,t exem,at an alarm of fire wtas givet. and havintg occur ged in the immediate v-icinaity of our oflice. we were among the first thuat raeachecd the spot where it originated. The flames first broke nuat of the n indows in the send story of the rear of M r. J. C. Burckmyers store. being the en i nor therly store of the fine bltck of buihhneacs koawn as Priuteau's Range. sittuated on E. liay. between D~ewees' anad Gibbas wharf. The firemen were protmptly on the ajaot, tnd two streams of water were soan brought to play on the rear of the btuildling. The whole interiorof the storc, it wats soon dhe covered, was on fire. anad in a few mo ments the flames burst out oif thec fronat, taut were there promptly met by other enigitnes. and for nearly half an hiotr it was doubtful whether the gallant and fearless conduct of the firemen would noat subdue the fire, and keep it from extetiding to thte tenements on either side, particularly as it wa~s known that there were goodl paraitioan walls run saing up to the roof, and seperating the dtores. la short time afterwards, htowever, a dense pass of smoke, was seen issuing from the upper front windows of the store adjoining toabe inorth, occupied by Mr. John 8. Jonas, as a Paint and Oil Store, and from the known combustible nature of its contents, all hope of preservitag the raone was then abandoned, and whbile a portion of the Fire Department were en gaed in keeping down the flames.as furas 'osble. another portion were particular 1devoted to preventing it front crossing to the West side of Bay-tatreel, or extead ing to the baildings to thte North and South. The adjoining store to the North, occu pied by Mr. F. Lanneaua, and the unoccu pied corner store to the South were soon enveloped in flames, and about 11 o'clock the corner at the North, also unoccupied. wras involved in the general destruction, obna taying in rains a block of So fino storem, which. having been recently enlar god and fitted up, were an ornament to our eit . .

We understand that the block of build ing were insured to the amoutut of 850, 000. and that about the same amount was insured on the goods in the three stores that were occupied. a large portion of which loss falls on the Life and Trust Cota pany of this city. Too much praise cannot be awarded to I the Fire Department generally, for their exertions. The Mayor was promptly on the spot, and ever) memaer of the depart ment exhibited a determination and ener gy deserving the highcst enrom'uin. There can belittle doubt that fire was the work of an incendiary. The Fire.-Nothing further transpired ye.terday tending to elucidate the myste ry of how the fire originated.

During a recent visit to the Seat of Governent, we btainedi the resultsof proofs to which it was subjected by a powerful machine kept at the Navy Yard to try thec sarenguth of chain cables maunufatctured for the Gov ernment. The cables. when made, are subjected in this maochinte to a powerfutl pressture of weight, repareenttinag niumbers tfaom one to) ahousads-ten of these ntum bers repretentintg one tont of 2.240 lbs. The tests by this macline are as folloaw.: rhe chain cab~les are made of routnd rol led trun wire of dlimetnsiorns of frtomt l1 ich to '1 ineas diameter.

Now whaen it is remembecred that iron wire of lj inches contains considera bly more than double the iron of 1 inch wire, the restark able strength of theo Sou th Carolina Iron is mantifest. It is with peculiar pridec and satisraetion we also leartned that the ollicers of the Government are so well satis6ed with its superiority over all other Iroit, that they intend tom appy it to the manufacture of Gun Barrels and other purposes that re quires Iron of a very superior quality.

Mordecai Cohen distrained the goods of Y Leman & Addy for rent due him on the h 1st inst. The petitioning creditors there. upon filed a bill ir an injunction against a sale under the landlurd's distress, until a deree of bankruptcy. and an assignee I could he appointed. to contest the land lord's right. or take steps for an advanta. r genus sale of the debtor's property for the benefit of all concerned. On this case, his i Ilonor Judge Gilchrist ruled the following points yesterday, in the Court of Bank rupicy: e I. That the District Court of the U. S, sitting as a Court of Bankruptcy, has all neerssary Chancery powers and jurisdie tion for lie full administration of the Bank rupt Act. 2. That a landlord levying, before a de cree in Bankruptcy. for rent due before e such decree, has a lien. under the Statute I- of Anne. of force in this State on the pro e lwrty of his tenant, aud such lein is undis ,f turbed by 'lie Bankrupt Act. . 3. That the apprehension orthe petition. ing creditors, that a sale under the land. lord's iltiress warrant. will cause a sacri fit... of the tenants goods to the injury of the- odher creditors. furnishes no ground to enjoin the landlord's proceedings. 4. T lhtat the facts that the landlord was a preferred creditor for his rent under a If voluntary ansignment of iis tenanL and n that lie hail expreswdul his willingness (with. t out personally accepting the deed ofassiog. . ment) that the assi-nee should sell and pay him his rent, did not impair his legal rem edv. it 'rom the Sowtern Arriclturist. A gricultural surcey of SoutA Caroinma Mr. Ediior.-it was with great satisfae tion. I remarked. in your last number, the effrt made by the South-Carolina Agri. cullural Society, to call the attention of ariculturalists to the propriety of an Ag r ricultiral Survey of our State. Its nees n sity and utility are so ohvious, that a Sur P. v. % should no loner he delayed, but six of our sister States have neglected thises semiali duty. and I regret that South Care. lion lags in the march of improvemert. I hope the presidents of our Agricultural So. Lt eieties will suhmit to the bodies over which .1 they preside, the invitation of the South Carolina Agricultural Society ; and that they will unite in simultaneous petitiinje the Legislature, to effect an object rsm which such gregt and desiable . ansproee,,:.T e 'poroif P chttsetts Survey, by H.

Every State must have a system of culture and man U res adapted to its own peculiar soil ad eclimate, and whatever has heen written on the sciencc of A griculruire can only prove -in a collateral mtanuer advantageous to , toc:gl success.
