They can there see the gist as swell as the detai The Great Western with one day later news was due yesterday, and we hourly expect her arrival. The Late Great Flre—One or Two Reflec- tions Thereo! A great public calamity, such as that which has just visited our city, is by no means a subject which we would prefer to dwell upon in thought or on paper; the mind instinctively feels a repugnance to do so, und discretion would tell us to forget its hov- rors, if that were possible, at the earliest moment But who can forget the rapid march of the destruc” tive clement, marking its course with dismay and terror? What mind is so formed as to discharge the painful impressions produced by devastation of pro- perty and loss of lite ; the elegant mansion tottering to its fall; the munificent resources of commerce ; the various production of mechanical ingenuity; the prized accumulations of exemplery industry, all con- founded in one overwhelming and indiscriminating ruin? Such sad realities bind the attention in pain- ful durance, and it is neither unbecoming to admit the bonds nor sympathize with the greater sufferers from the physical causes. Litile space is afforded by the columns of a daily paper to indulge in reflections such as the moralist would make. How many salient and appropriate observations might be his on the instability of hu- man passessions, the evanescence ot imortal hopes, and the liability of man, however prosperous, to ad- versity and calamity. What a poor guarantee is af- forded by granite walls and iron doors against the career of the elements. What a feeble shield are in- surance institutions to protect the sanguine trader from absolute pauperism. Helpless, indeed, seems the dwellers in large cities when attacked by the insidious hostility of the elements ; all they can do is to take proper precaution and use the means at hand to guard against a recurrence of evil. It becomes a matter of paramount interest to in- quire if there are not precautions never yet used against the awful conflagrations which are now awfully common, and which so often victimize New York. We think there are; not perhaps practica- ble by individuals, but within the power of muni pal authority. One or two words then to those who are delegated to watch over public safety, and who represent the aggregate of the population in that ca- pacity. It is proper, nay, it is absolutely necessary for them to interpose their power between the thoughtless as well as the malevolent, and the secu rity of the public; they are called upon to inquire whether the culpable neglect of parties has been in- strumental in causing the late loss of property aad life. There are good grounds for suspecting such was the case. It is a notorious fact that the fire that has laid a wealthy and business district of the city in ashes, originated in an oil store; it is also true that the awful explosion that contributed fearfully to the spread of the flames, was that of a store filled with materials of a highly dangerous character, to be found in the heart of a densely built neighbor- hood. In other places of this erring world, combus- tible and explosive substances are banished to re- mote situations whece they are incapable of injuring life or property; but in New York it would appear as though we possessed an indemnity from the ef fects of rashness and folly, for he who so pleases may stuff a warehouse in the most populous street with gunpowder, saltpetre, salt of tartar and sulphar, whose union produces one of the most explosive compounds known. Now this is a nuisance and worse. There ought to be an end put to-it. No man ought to be at liberty-to fill his store with these dangerous substances, any more than be permttted to set man-trapsand spring-guns in the public streets, or point loaded fire arms at the breasts of his neigh- bors, for no better reason than to satisfy his humor. We expect to see an inquest held on what has taken place, and measures taken to prevent such flagrant delinquency in future. On another topic connected with this fire, one or two words. There is some ground for suspecting that business men of other cities may, in endeavor. ing to turn this visitation upon New York to their own advantage, add new injury to that which it ac- tually suffers. New York has ardent rivals for com- mercial prosperity.” The custom of the Southern merchants, who are accustomed to come here to purchase goods, would be a bonne bouche for the mer- chants of Philadelphia, Boston,‘or Baltimore, and they may, verv likely, take some pains to convey the impression that the price and supply of goods may be affected in this market by the destruction that has occurred. All such attempts ought to prove futile, as they will, we think ; for there are no good grounds for any such representation as that New York cannot supply her customers as well—nay bet- ter, as usual, than any competitor. That there has been a heavy loss of mercantile commodities is true, but it amounts to but a drop in the fountain of mer- and in some cases below them; the rates are, good ordi- nary Louisiana 71 to 72fr., ordinary 66 to 67, very ordi- nary 60 to 61, and 61, and inferior Sofr.

IRROR Correctep.—In ouraccount in yesterday's paper of the great fire, our reporters from misinformation did not do justice to the officers and crew of the “ North Carolina.” Immediately on the outbreak of the conflagration, and when it was perceived that its ravages were likely to be so extended as to demand all the aid which could possibly be rendered, the First Lieutenant, A. G. Gordon, Msq., sent the men on shore under command of Lieut. Rowan. ‘The boats of the ship, laden with a supply of gunpowder, under command of Lieut. Ward, did shore duty. ‘The marine guard of the ship was also on shore un- der a proper command. Indeed, the fact is, as we ascertained yesterday, only twelve men were left in charge of the versel—to such an excess, we think we can truly say, was the generous desire of the of- ficers to aid their fellow-citizens in that hour of ex- treme peril, carried. And the service, itneed hard- ly be added, rendered from this quarter was most valuable. Oificers and men exerted themselves to the utmost, working at the fire engines—removing property from the burning buildings to plices of se- vity—ond their exertions never ceased until the were relieved by the military of the city at an ad- vanced period in the afternoon. ‘This prompt and efficient aid was acknowledged by his Honor the Mayor ina proper manner, and his official thanks were presented to Commodore Jones and Captain Cooper, and through thein to the officers and crew of the vessel. We may add, that in addition to the large and efficient body of seamen and marines en- gaged in service during the progress of the fire, fifty men were rendezvoused at the residence of Purser Rice, 71 Greenwich street, for the purpose of ren- dering aid to the citizens in that neighborhood and relieving their messmates on active duty. Purse Nice himself was most actively engaged in giving assistance and conasel to iis follow-eitizens in thar mart of Greenwich rtreet who |sbored throughout the night under anxieties impossible to deseribe We have very great plessure in thus awarding to the officers and men attached to the North Carolina, who did duty en this melancholy occasion, the just tribute of publie gratitude. The omission of this yesterday was owing altogether to misapprehension nthe part of ony reporters, who aleo had a most are vous duty to perform, in collecting the details of this appalling ty. Additional Particulars of the Great Confla- gration—View of the Ruins the Day after the Fire, . The great fire of Saturday is the all-absorbing topic of conversation. We published a very large edition yesterday of our regular paper, with full par- ticulars of the calamity, and as large a number of Extra Heralds. ‘These particulars, with a corrected plan of the fire, we republish to-day in a Supple- ment. And all the additional facts collected yester- day, we annex. The “burnt district” covers over a space of ay least twenty acres, and the number of buildings destroyed is now estimated at three hundred and forty-five. This number, we now believeto be a pretty fair calculation, It is made up from the figures of intelligent gentlemen, who are well ac- quainted with the whole locality. ‘The appearance of the ruins is paintul to every beholder; itis as painful tojthe stranger as to the citi- zen; but still more painful and desolating to those who have lost, perchance, their all by this destruc- tive fire. This district was visited by thousands throughout yesterday, and hundreds came from the surrounding country to view the scene of desola- tion. ; In giving the additional facts of this flre, we ar- range them under the head of each street. In this way we have the whole, as it appeared on the day alter the occurrence of the disastor. Broapway.—The appearance of Broadways which was kept ina state of blockade by the mili tary all through the day, was truly distressing, par- ticularly to the {** gay Letharios” and his dear “ inamorata,” who were wont to wend their way through this fashionable lounge to the Battery and Castle Garden. Men were busily engaged in pull- ing down the shell of Waverley Hotel, and the wreck of the whole line of buildings down as tar as Marketfield street. The whole had the appearance of a siege. ‘The buildings being all nearly pulled downin the district through which the fire raged, the work of desolation can be all seen in panorama, from Broadway. Every avenue, from whence a glimpse could be had, was blocked up with anxious crowds, who kept continually moving through the day Hrom one locality to the other, where the mili- tary were stationed, and ropes were drawn across the streets. The greater pa of the honses in this guarter are already pulled down, and the entire area rom ‘Trinity Church to Whitehall street and the front gate of the Battery, presented a most melan- choly appearance. The inmates of the houses that escaped, may be seen occasionally stealthily gazing from the windows upon the still surrounding ruins, with terror and dismay depicted in their counten- ances. The Bowling Green, with the fountain, which are uninjured, may be compared to an “ oasis in the desert.” The streets all around were strewn in all directions with fragments of burned furniture, burned pieces of cloth, damaged teas, which were profusely scattered in all directions, bricks and mor- tar, broken crockery, and all sorts of damaged mer- chandize. The building No. 17 is totally destroyed. The blocking up of this part of Broadway has had the effect to deprive numbers of our citizens from enjoying their usual Sunday recreations on the Bat- tery. EES large“quantity of the property was strewn, along the Battery, where were squatted upon the grass several poor families who had been burned out, with the miserable remnants of their little prop- erty. Groups of persons flocked around them du- ting the day to listen to the appalling details of the fire; they excited afgood deal of sympathy.— The Military §in this quarter were actively moving about; and some of the Aldermen of \the city were also engaged in making enquiries and aiding in keeping regularity. The military got nigid orders to keep all outside the burned district ; which rule has been enforced, save in some few instances, with the utmost care. Judge Smith of the Marine Court, was actively engaged in keeping order and aiding the authorities during the early part of the day, which praiseworthy act seem- ed to give a good dealof satisfaction. Several peo- ple from New Jersey and the adjoining cities and towns crowded the city during the day, all anxious to see the ruins. Broap Srreet.—This street, which a few days since was the very centre of business—lined with extensive warehouses, stored with costly goods, 1s now, from near the corner of Wall to Stone street theap of smouldering ruins. Piles of brick and Poreny parning caller, and damaged merchandise block the way where merchants drove their trade.— The walls have all fallen in, or have been pulled jown, and it is believed many persons have been buried beneath the ruins. Crowds of eager and enrious citizens throng the neighboring streets, an- xious to view the sad spectacle. The efficient and ntlemanty company of National Greys were on duty in this part of the town. We found, however, a great crowd of loafers and rowdies in the neigh- bothood, one or two of whom we understood had mounied imilitary caps and Gailoyecletherapelver by annoying the cit’zeas with their assumed and ridiculous airs. We saw one of these fellows at the head of Broad street, whose in- solent and overbearing manner. arrested our attention. He was engaged in pasing his friends and acquaintances down Broad street, where they could inspect the ruins, and black guarding and insult- ing those whom he did not chose to favor. Thisindi- vidual called himselfa military officer, but refused to give his name when it was requested by a person present, which satisfied crery one that thes was an Imposter. This matter should be looked into by the company. Wiiiam Srreet, behind the Exchange, was blockaded @roughout the day by the military, as was Beaver street and South William street, and Broad stre the end of Stone. From the latter point a good view of the ruins might be had by look- ing along Broad street towards the Custom House, and again towards Broadway—the full extent of the damage. done could be seen. At these different points hundreds might be seen throughout the day, but no one except those with written orders from Justice Matsell or the commanding officer, was al- lowed to approach the ruins nearer; nor would it uave been prudent in any person to have done so, #s many of the standing walls were ina very critical state, expected every instant to fall, ‘Then again it was necessary that this cordon should be stricily kept, fora great amount of property was lying about in all directions, and such stores as were not mate- tially damaged by the fire, remained open, many having had their doors and windows torced away by the explosion. In consequence of the etrictness with which this regulation was enforced, several humorous and amusing scenes took plice around the site of the fire, between the military and parties withing to get a closer view of the ruins. On the whole, the military and police behaved with great firmness and forbearance, notwithstanding they had a good deal to put up with. Missin, Kintep axp Wounpep.—Mrs. Mary Runyon, sister-in-law of police officer Martin, was standing ia the door of the house No. 37 Broad street, with her husband on the morning of the fire. She went up stairs and is supposed to have been bu- ried in the ruins at the time of the explosion. which «to have razed the house. We understand in iddition to the names already published, that the following persons are missing. Bow many more there are, we cannot say, but have no doubt many more have lost their ‘lives by this dire calamity Messrs. Cowdry, May,Johnson, Barker, Henry Oit- man and Jones. A man named Peter A. Johnson, orter for Dwight Johnson, 104 Broad street, and a colored rgan, whose name is unknown, were ex- numed yesterday from the ruins of Oelrich and Krugers’ store, 42 Broad street, and taken to the seit house. The porter has loft a wite and two children, who are thus entirely without support. A laboring man was carried to the Hospital yesterday, whose arm had been broken by the falling of a piece of umber at the tire. Two men and a woman, whose names are unknown, were also taken to the Hospital slightly injured. Mrs. M. Dudley, resi- ding at 18 New street, was also badly hurt atthe tume of the explosion. Fitty or sixty workmen are now employed in dig- sing un the rains for the dead bodies which are said to be buried in the cellars of the burnt houses. Murary.—The 9th Regiment, under the com- mand of Col. Curtis, was on duty throughout yeste:- day, assisted by several companies of the Blues, the President's Guards, some volunteer companies, and the Italian Guards. They went on duty at? Re a Atle morning, and were relieved by by the f27th Regiment, about 500 strong, under the command of Col. Vermilyea, about 8 o'clock last evening. During the day there was some dissatistace von prevailing among the wililary, in consequence of the scarcity and quality of Meprovisions at their head quarters, Castle Garden, Messrs. French & Heiser were truly eat up and drank out of everything by the company of the previous day, they ‘oaly having or- ‘lers to provide for seven handred, instead of which they had about two thousand one hundred to provide ‘or. Yesterday being Sanday, Messrs. French & Heiser could not renew their supplies quick — or the demand, and furnished what they could; the consequence was the dissatistaction ulluded to, ‘The «Huent residents of the neighborhood might have 1own some generosity in. this respect towards lose Who were protecting their lives and property. Pursuant to Brigade orders, the several ompanies ot the 38th regiment, in this city, and Capt. Olney's company of Brooklyn, are ordered tor guard duty) daring to-night, for the protection of he’ property ;of the citizens saved from the Jute calamitous fire. The regimental line will be formed in the Park, in front of the City Hall, at 6 o'clock in the evening. The officers will appear in full dress uniform, and the non-commissioned officers and privates, in undress uniform, and cloth pantaloons, Incipents, &c.—A large dog, apparently very old, was taken, penaray, afternoon, by e gentleman, trom the ruins of the late fire. He was first observ- ed on Saturday morning, very intently watching the remains of a store in Beaver street, near Whitehall; and when taken away, his legs were found to be nearly burned off, so much so. that he was with much difficulty able to walk. He is advertised in an- other columa, by the person who took him, who will take care of him until his owner may eal! for him. It may be that the owner 18 buried in the ruins of the building where the dog was found, The safe of Messrs. Maitland, Corwin & Co. of Broad street, was dug out trom the ruins, and their papers were found uninjured. e understand the hospitable and gentlemanl, proprietors of the Astor House, Messrs. Coleman & Stetson, furnished a sumptuous repast to the firemen who axhuiped the bodies of the two men taken to the dead house. J Officer Floyd, of the new polles, saved 25,000 Re- galia segars from a store in New street, during the tire, for which he wants an owner. . INsuRANCE.—We make a few additions to the list .of the amounts insured : ‘The Protection Co. in Hartford. ola this city “ Long Island Co. Redd sas SAO The latter company havea capital of $210,000, and a surplus of $62,000. The aggregate capital of the Hartford Companies is, we believe, about $400,000. ‘The loss sustained by the Long Island Coinpany is about ten per centf ol their capital. They have, after pa\ ing losses, $180,000. < The Boston Company’s loss is not more than 345,000. . The Providence Company, whose loss will not ex- ceed $15,000. Amongst the many instances of genero- sity and kindness to the firemen during the late terrible tire, we have pleasure in referring to the munificent liberality of Mr, K. B. Daly the pro- prietor of the cere wholesale wine “and liquor establishment No. 94 Broad street, whose store iy amongst the very few in that vicinity saved, When the firemen were utterly exhausgd by the:r heroic labors, Mr. Daly turned several wine and brandy casks into the street, and from them supplied them with the means of restoring their expended energies. Such generosity ought not to pass unno- uced, There have been sixteen of Wilder’s patent Sala- mander Safes in the fire; nine of which have been recovered, and it has been found that their contents have been but very little, and, in many instances, not at all injured. is : The many narrow escapes which several had, is truly Srna ne ced, may be said to be almost miraculous. Shortly after the fire broke out, Jus- tice Matsell observed a person amid the smoke, # parenily confused; he went to him, and, tal: hold of his coat, inquired his business there. Le replied, ‘Oh, Justice, 1 can’t find my way out—I don’t know where lam.” At that moment the ex- plosion took place, and the first thing Justice Mat- sell knew afterwards, was finding himself at some distance, between two bales of cotton, with a por- tion of a door and shutter over him, which fortu- nately protected him from other falling ruins, Again, in a few hours afterwards, word was con- veyed to the Justice that a parcel of fellows were stealing some goods on the Battery. He immedi- ately fasosede to the spot along Beaver street, ac- companied by several of the police force, at a time when the walls of several buildings were fast crumbling to pieces and tumbling around. Just as they reached the end of the street, a massive wall fell'so close to them that one of the bricks struck the Justice as he was CU AO to escape, but fortunately did not matertally injure him. Notwith- standing these two narrow escapes, he remained as active as ever throughout the day and night. The following were given in the list yesterday as having been suiferers by this calamity. It must be tifying to tind that these have escaped without fea of property : Robinson & Co., No. 43; Henry Escher, No. 50; Wilmerding, Priest & Mount, No. 60; Benkhard & Hutton, and Draper, Dias & War- ren, 60 Beaver street.3 _ Mr. Daggett is about to issue a supplement to the Directory he has lately published, containing the change of the residences of those who have been obliged to find other places to carry om sheir business, in consequence of this greatcalamity. This is very judicious, and all prone burnt out should, as soon as ossible, furnish the address ot their future places of business to this enterprising publisher. * Of the light-fingered gentry of all classes and co- lors, there were no scarcity, and it is believed the quantity of goods and property stolen 18 of large amount, In one case, a negro who was intent on looking out for chances, laid hold of a piece of supertine black cassimere, in Pearl street, and took to his heels with the booty. A persononthe ground caught a sight of the transaction, and furnished with a slant stick gave pursuit. ‘The negro was disagreea- bly awakened from his dream of success in the ex- loit by a blow behind the ear from his pursuer, hich laid him flatas a flounder on the pavement. Not a word was spoken, The freeboo@r turned up the white of his eyes in amazement, and saw the departing figure of a man with the cassimere in one hand, and a stick in the other, and forthwith took to his heels, glad to escape with his life. % In another case, a person met a friend with the un- usual burthen of seven cigar boxes under his arm, Where did you get so many cigars, Mr. Brown 1” said he. have been hard at it,” replied the oth- er, “for four hours; drink is asYiscarce as in the Arabian desert, and so the least Lean do isto have a hearty sinoke for my labor.” Navat Rerorm.—The condition of our navy is a subject which now very naturally and justly occu- pies a large share of public attention. It is, indeed, of the most vital importance that this great arm of the national defences should be ina state of perfect discapline and practicalutility in all its details. We intend to go into this matter with the care and atten- tion which it merits. The bureau system in all its workings end bearings will be one of the firet branches of the subject to which we will invite the attent’_n of our readers. ‘Then the strength and ca- scity of the navy—the principles regulatory of ap- pomtmente, detachments and prumotion—the gener- 1] relations of the Department to the eervice itsel®— and other matters will follow. This is a subject of deep coneernment to every citizen, and the present is a fitting time to submit it to full and careful exa- mination. Great Sreep.—The Niagara, Capt. De Groot, left Albany nine minutes past seven on Saturday morn- ing, making jsixteen landings, and arriving at New York at half-past four. ee Park Tuearre.—The bill for the performance of to-night offers great inducements }to the lovers of the opera and gaiety: the second act of “Guillaume Tell,” which is considered the best for musical eflect; the third and fourth of ‘La Favorite,” the finest of that opera, with M’lle. Calvé, M’mes. Casini and Comuniot; and Merers. Arnaud, Garry, Douvry and Buscher eupport them by their splendid singing and rcting. To this 1s added “ M'lle. D'Angeville,” a vaudeville in one act, in which M’me Cevuriot is to appear in four different characters, assisted by Messrs Mathieu, Jules and Oternot. We doubt not hut our citizens will avail themselves of this extraor, dinary performance to go and spend a delightfu vening in this fine house. Nisio’s Garnen.—To-night the “ Bride of Lam- mermoor,” rendered familiar by Sir Walter Scott, and Donnizetti, is to be given in English. Mrs. Mowatt, who has already appeared to great advan- age as Pauline and Juliana, undertakes the very inportant character of Lucy Ashton. No drama inthe repertorre is so capable of developing the highest possible talents of a lady, as the “ Bride of Lammermoor- We believe Mra.

We invite the attention of the pablic to Vauxhall; they will find it an agreeable place during these hot evenings. Casrue Garpen.—This beautiful place has been turned into barracks, having been made the head warters of the troops.
