tive- American gatherings of a similar cliar-
rior; and we should soon have a line of
large cities, stretching at moderate- dt,stan

othei^fearful destruction of property bv

that the finest specimen of American naval,
archit-cl lire, and the largest and mos! splen
lid clipper ship ever constructed, has be
eo me a prey to the fiery element, just as
die was about to Dave §the liai'hor, onJier
first trip across the Aihmlie ? Besides the
Great Repiblic, two other noble yvsse.a
have been destroy ed, and several othe i
craft moie or less injured. A uumber of
(mildings and stores on Front and VV’atei
treels have^lso been burned, flow n; and
Vt Is a moderate caletdation to place the to

patties feel the blow but the risks being
distributed among many, I do not doubt
but that each and all are abundantly abb
to meet their liabilities. Considerable ex
citemt nt lias been expr ssed that efforts to
save the Great Republic were not more
promptly made. I was on the pier befon
any oftlie ships took tire; and 1 fee! cutiii

the fire in Front st reet, a few men on each
vard arm. supplied with buckets of water,
might have saved the vessel, as there wt>
but little heat, the fire bring caused solely
by tlie sparks borne along by the wind. It
is, however, very easy for bystanders to in
dnliie in speculation as to what ought to
have been done; and against the suggestion
.that there was an abundant time to cut a
way the masts of the Great Republic, ther<
is the argument that the attempt would
probable have involved the loss of life. Bet

T his fire adds another !o the many proofs of
the great desiraUenes of such aid in i-xtin
guish'irg fire as would be afforded by a Fire
Reservoir. No engine in. New York- can
throw water to the height of .tlie masts of
the Great Republic; hut, with a Fire Reser
voir, in which ill© elevation of the water
would be much higher t bar the masts of the
argest (drips lying in otir docks, it would
oniv be necessary to have sufficient strongtl
of hose to put out fire m the rigging of the
tallest vessels. Here, in erne night, we have
property destroyed nearly equal in value to
the cost of constructing Mtcli a Repervoir
When will men U:«e a little foresight, and
employ all the guards which experience s ug
gests, in protecting their properry from
sUdden destruction ?
There is probably no subject that occa
mils more apprehension and debate here—
apprelWnsiou as lo us results, and debate as
to the proper means effective to arrest it
than the fearful increase of crime, pnrlicu
laffy that of murder: During the past ten
days; no feiver than five murders have been
committed-here, for which seven persons
have been arrested and incarcerated, t
await the action of the Grafid Jury; Nine
persons were also brought into Court* last
week, charged with aasault wiilt intent to
kill; and a great number of arrests were
made f jr common assault ami battery, bur
glary, and minor offences. The increase
of crime in this metropolis is indeed fright
ful* and demands an extraordinary effort
for its suppression, on the part .of those
whose duty it is to watch, over and protect
the rights, interests, and happiness of our
citizens. But our city authorities . are no
toriously lax in the discharge of their du
ties. ’ Yours Truly,
