New Youx Finemen.—Another evidence of the effi- cient service rendered by the New York firemen will be found in the following communication, which speaks for iteelf, and needs not comment :— Brooxxyn, Sept. 11, 1848. I take this method of calling attention to the well- timed services of your New York firemen in our late disastrous conflagration; althougb,where all bebayed so nobly, it is perhaps impreper to point eut the ular services of any single company.

When the fire had reached in. 8 few doors of my store led upon the members of that com- pany to aid me, hoping to be able to save some of the most valuable of my stock. Owing to their exertions, every article in my store was safely removed to the distance of half a mile from the store, the greater part of which, without their timely assistance, would have been destroyed by the fire, or purloined by the horde of thieves, who ransacked every building to which they could, in any way, gain ‘admittance Deeming it an act of justice to this company, that their services, which were to myrelf, and to bee others, invaluable, shouid be publicly noticed, you will, by inserting this communication in your paper, much oblige many grateful citizens of Brooklyn. cS.

Tue Fire on Butter Hitt.—This mountain was still burning on Sunday night, over the whole of the northern side, ever and anoo bursting forth afresh as the flames caught upon withered branches or the dr; underwood. If agale, or even a stiff breeze of wind, were to play upon it, the mountain would speedily be- come one sheet of flame. The fire onthe mountains, east of Fishkill village, has’burned out. About three hundred cords of wood were destroyed. ConrLaGRration in St. Lovis.—-One of the largest lumber yards in the city, belonging to Mr. Wm.

One of these, in charge of the first mate, contained only five or six persons.

Rartroap Accipents—Miracrious Escares.— On Tuesday last, as a train of several cars, laden with coal, a neerniee oar, and a numbef of empty cars, from Mt. Savage to C: nd, Md , were passing over the bridge near the toll. on the So- merset road, the engineer discovered ving way beneath the weight of thecars. Having the ad- vantage of the down , the engineer immediately put on all the steam could raise. The coal cars passed safely over the reeling structure; the passen- ger car was nearly over when the mass gave way ; for- tunately, however, there was an fron connection with the cars in front, and although the hind wheels went down some two the oar was jerked up by the borer of the engine, and the passengers saved. The bree box cars plunged In creek—some twenty feet—along with the fragments of the bridge. There was a man si tting on the rear box car when the alarm ps) Feed siren, le is ntly arose, and oe e three cars, jumped on passenger 6: as the iat of te box oat fl ave fh gro Tf this ‘wasa narrow escape, what will be said of the following:— Early the next morning, force was sent down in cars to repair the bridge. The cars were stopped near the obasm and fastened tothe track. Ata later hour, John A, Graham, Eeq., who has charge of the Mt, Savage works, being anxicus to learn the extent of the damage and to press the repairs, started alone in a small car to poe the road. Upee getting under he found that the break was out of order, and that he could not control the car, which was soon going at the rate of 60 miles an hour! There was but little time for thought — not more than four or five minutes. To jump off was certain death. In fearful emergency, Mr. Graham, with admirable composure, stretched himself at full length on the bottom of the car, and there calmly awaited the issue. The taleis soontold. The car came rushing along on the wings of the wind until it met the other cars fastened to jk. A collision took place. Mr. Grabam’s emall car wat dashed to pieces, he thrown some ten feet from the track, and, with the exception of a few bruises, was taken up unhurt! Common Council.

Quaker, two mile amusement and speculation as any previous con- test this season, The attendance at the course was not so large as was expected, from the five field of horses that were to contend for the prize, which, how- ever, may be attributed to two causes: The prudent sporting man is deterred from venturing out, on ac- count of the horrible state of the roads—which, from the absence of rain, are several inches deep with sand and cn the occurrence of the slightest gust of wind, the dust rises in clouds, sweeping over the island like « simoon in an Arabian desert, enveloping and smother- ing all in its way—almost. The late fire in Brooklyn also had a tendency in keeping a number of the pa- trons of porting at home—pleasure with them being laid on the shelf for the present. betting was very brisk throughout the day ; but it would have puzzled a mathematician to have fol- lowed the backers of the several horses, and taken charge of\their arithmetic, through all their compli- Ghted operations.

Some of the letters were directed to No. 242 East 12th street, and others to the upper Bull’s Head.

At the end of the first keat, Jenny Lind having been distanced, operations in the ‘ hedg- ing” line set in ; andthe buying off and selling out that followed, would have astonished a Board of Brokers. First Heat—Nell Gwynne drew the inside position, Quaktr second, Jenny Lind third, Lady Emma fourth, and Passenger the outside. They came up prettily, all in a line, until near the mile distance, when Nell Gwynne was taken up, and the others were stepped. Three more: att ‘were made before a start was effected, and then started all ina heap, Quaker with the lead, Pi er second, Nell Gwynne and Jenny Lind side by side, and Lady Emma behind, having almost come to « stand still as the word given. Going round the upper turn, ger seem- ng to have Ll he! his lameness, dashed a-head of le rth Quaker, and led him to the quarter pole three lengths or more, the o' trailing each other. Nell Gwynne jicked up, and d the Quaker on the back stretch, jut could not c! with Passenger, who kept on at a strong and regular gait. Lady Emma next overtook er, but soon afterwards bade him good atteracon, showings desirefor more gay rociety. She, however, ould pproach Nell Giwynne, and Passenger kept Nell at a proper distance. Jenny Lind, during all this time, was Cte falling off, and it was evident, before the termination of the first mile, that shebad no chance of winning, Passenger came to the score on the first mile about’ three lengths ahead of Nell Gwynne, Emma as far behind her, Quaker over s hundred yards further off, and Jenny Lind at the two mile nee stand. Time 2:45. Going round on the second mile, the grey mare, Emma, went very finely, and, closin, up with Nell Gwynne, seemed to be waiting for a breal from the bay horse, to brush forthe lead. Nell was, how- ever, the first to break, and in fact, the only one of the trio during the heat. which gave Emma the second pss at the score. Passenger won the heat by four lengths in fine style, and Ole a more fresh than he was before the start. Time of last mile, 2:43, and of the heat, 5:28. Quakerand Jenry Lind distanced. Second Heat.—Passenger was now the favorite egeinst the field. The start for this heat was very even, but Passenger broke up on leaving the score, and fellin behind Lady Emma, Nell Gwynne being a pry 4 infront. They passed ‘th juarter pole all to- getber, in 43 seconds. On the back stretch, Passenger took the lead, passing the half-mile pole in 1:23!, a Jength infront of Nell Gwynne—Emma well up. Round the lower turn, Passenger opened the gap, and Emma fell otf, laying them three or four lengths apart. Com- ing up the home stretch, Nell made s brugh, and was close up Passenger at the score, and it was evi- dent trom the manner that his rider was shooting him with the spur, that he had nothing to spare. Time of the mile, 2:42}¢. Emma was about .four lengths be- hind. At the quarter pole on the next mile, Passenger broke up, and Nell took the lead. The horse broke a second time on the back stretch, and fell off too far to overtake her again during the heat. He, however, rallied well, and came up the home stretch in # most vigorous manner, gaining on Nell at every step, but the reached the score three lengths ahead of him in 2:4434, making the heat in 5:27. Third Hee ‘Nell Gwynne’s good behaviour in the last heat made her the favorite a second time, and two to one was posted on her winning the stake. The | start was good, and they went away ata rapid rate. Passenzer took the lead shortly after leaving the score, and, dashing finely round the upper turn, passed the uarter pole in 48 seconds, two lengths shead of Nell wynne, Emms being close at her heels.
