which nc naS sDcicrged, aifu cspcCiaiiy in bringing before the Scnate and car rylne through il, tbe various measures recommended by the Committee on Commerce. Great asis the amount ofta- lent in the next Senate We fear that his place as chairman Of that committee will be hardly supplied. Coming from a commercial quarter of the Union, he has entered warmly into the support of the interests of trade and navigation, and has lost no opportunity of impfoying all the advantages for obtaining useful knowledge on these subjects, afforded either by his public station, rhis exten- sive acquaintance with men of business. . Amidst the pursuits of law and Poli- tics, Judge 4Yoodbury has not neglect ed the cultivation of letters. As a member of the joipt Library Commit lee Of Congress, he has manifested great zeal..as well as good taste. in forming a collection of books of which the coun- try may well be proud; and as q seHa- tor, he has introduced or aided various measures for the promotion of learning and arts. From the circumstances of his situation. and tie interest he takes in naval matters, his knowledge on this subject is extensive, and the naval ser vice could not find among our public men a more jealous and efiicent friend.

 A gentleman in Fayetteville. under date of May 3l, writes his brother. that there is-but one block of buildings stand-

 ing in that town. For mile in length, and half mile in width, there is not a house standing. peculiarly fortunate that no lives were lost in the general confagration.

The case of our distressed fellow-citizens in Fayetteville, calls for the humane and charitable disposition of all. Hundreds of those who were.in comfortable circumstances before the fire, found themselves, by the act of Providence. reduced immediately to ab- solnte penury and want, without tie means of providing for themselves and families food and raiment; they had no where to lay their heads. The distress is general throughout the wh,4e eommn- ui3; they arc ali sufferers, without the means of administering to each others relief.
