We elsewhere publish all the additional informa. tion that we have thus far been able to procure rela- tive te theextent of the disastrous storm last Friday evening. The evidence given before the Coroner's Jury in the case of the three men who were killed by the falling of the new building in Forty-third street shows that the structure was considered very sub- stantial, it having been built by what is technically known as day’s work. The roof was carried by the wind over the top of another house, and fell at a dis- tance of between two and three hundred feet. A large number of tenements were unroofed, and a vast amount of property destroyed in Brook- lyn and Williamsburg, but fortunately no lives were lost, although many persons were severely injured. The most singular circumstance connected with this storm is the fact that in many places scarcely any rain and no hail fell, while in other localities, only a few miles distant, the water and ice came gown in such torrents as to demolish houses, ‘uproot trees, thresh out the grain in the fields, and scatter the straw and every other light article in all directions. Even in some parts of our own city the storm was not by any means as severe as others that occurred a few days before. In the centre of Phila- de!phia it was barely felt; but in certain portions of Pennsylvania and New Jersey the destruction of all kinds of property, including house3, barns, grain and fruit, was unprecedented. Although we have in this section of the country been amply blessed with an abundance of rain of late, the Southern and Western States are greatly suffering from drought. The Georgia papers declare that the corn crop in some parts of that State has been entirely destroyed by the dry weather, no rain having fallen for three months. The young cotton is also reported to have been much injured. Read the interesting letters and newspaper ex- tracts which we to-day publish from Albany, relative to the exciting flare-up among the politicians in the Assembly on Thursday and Friday. The develope- ments are rich, racy and rare. By the bye, we ob- serve that the supposed organ at Washington has been reading the chief barnburner organs in this city and Bufflo out of the democratic party. The New Hampshire Legislature adjourned yes- terday. During the session a very stringent law was passed for tho provontion of railroad accidents and the management of trains. All the peopositions con- cerning the sale of liquor, together with several bank projects, were postponed. Those who wish to keep themselves thoroughly posted up with regard to New Hampshire politics will do well to peruse the letter from our Concord correspondent. A despatch from Washington announces the arrival there of Gen Almonte, the new Minister from Mexico. Probably we shall now soon be able to ascer- tain something of a definite character concerning the inte tions of the two republics with regard to the Mesillia Valley boundary dispute. Much difficulty is said to have been encountered in endeavoring to classify the clerks in the General Post Office so as to make them stay classified. Governor Hebert, of Louisiana, has appointed fifteen commissioners to represent that State at the Great Exhibition in this city. Only fifteen thousand bales of cotton were sold at New Orleans during the week ending on Friday last, at which time the stock on hand was seventy thousand bales, and the market was firm. The in- creased receipts at all the Southern .ports over those of last year, at this date, amount totwo hundred and nine thousand bales. The St. John, N. B., papers aver that the attempt to enforce the Maine Liquor law in that province has proved a failure. Some friends of the measure having instituted prosecutions at Richmond, their opponents, by way of retaliation, procured a quan- t ty of gunpowder, and blew the Temperance Hall to atoms. Some uneasiness has been produced at St. John in consequence of the reported arming of the Yankee fishermen. The mackerel fishing at the Magdalen Islands so far is declared to have been an utter failure. Recent advices from Bahia, Brazil, state that the yellow fever was raging to a frightful extent, both on shore and among the shipping in the harbor. The mortality on board the English vessels was so grea‘ that several of them were left almost destitute of of- ficers and men. The little spirt of war between Guatemala and Honduras is reported to be at anend. The inhabi tants of those States have perhaps come to the wise conclusion thet the diseases natural to their warm climate will sufficiently thin out the population, thereby rendering it unnecessary for theni to resort to gunpowder and hot lead. All was quiet at Trax illo on the 12th ult. The news which we to-day publish from Mexico. being to the 18th ult. from the capital, is in many respects very interesting. The general condition of that onfortenate country continued to be most deplorable, as will be seen by the accounts of the revolutionary spirit evinced by the people in Chiapas and elsewhere, the ravages of roving bands of hostile Indians in Coabuila, the ruthless acts of hordes of robbers upon haciendas, travellers, &c. Another curious illustration of the dissatisfaction which pre vails is the announcement of the great rejoicing at the death of Senor Alaman, late Minister of Poreign Affairs, in his natal city of Guerrera. In the midst of this universal turmoi Anna appeared to be very cozily enjoying himself; continued to issue axed rdinary decrees, although without funds to pay soldiers for enforcing them, and was preparing to take up his residence ot the palace of the Archbishop in Tacubeya. One peculiar feature in thie intelligerice is worthy of special observation, and that is that Santa Anna’s newspaper organ, called the O) den, proposes that Senor Fulquez,the newly ap pointed minister to New Granada, shall be instruc to invite ail the Spanish American States to hold grand international convention, with the view of devising means to effectually check and destroy the ‘ terrible, perfidious and rainous poticy— the avara cons and vaurpivg views ” of the Anglo-Amevigana who “threaten to absorb the sovereignty of the continent and destroy the Hispano-American race.”’ It is very doubtful whether any one of the South American States, more particularly New Granada, would agree-te meet in convertion for the purpose designated. The better informed classes of that por: | tion of the continent, as well as a majority of the in- habitants of even Mexico itself, are anxious for the coming of the day when they shall be embraced | within the folds of this glorious Union. The force of , circumstances is impelling us onwerd,—no human j power can check our progress till “‘ the whole bound- less continent is ours.” t is manifest destiny. Professor Chapman died in Philadelphia on the Ast inst., at the venerable age of seventy-four years, He was connected with the Pennsylvania University upwards of forty years. A shocking accident occurred in Richmond, Vt., on the Ist inst. The neck of a Mr. Mason came in contact with a circular saw which instantly severed i his head from his bedy. . Two employes on the Central Railroad were se. riously injured by a collision between a passenger and gravel train, near Zanesville, Ohio, last Friday. The latter train was out of time. A serious fracas occurred in a German beer saloon in Pittsburg last Friday. The landlord, named Lus- ler, was mortally stabbed, and two of his barkeepers were seriously wounded. James Reed, a sailor belonging to the schooner A, G. Parker, of this port, fell overboard, at Norfolk, | on Thursday last, and was drowned. Among much other interesting intelligence pub- lished in this sheet, the reader will find a full ac- count of the Torch-light Reception given to the Baltimore Firemen last evening; Paris, Quebec and | Fort Myers Correspondence; The Haratp Com- missioner’s Report ; Explanatory Letter from a Shaker; Investigation in the United States Commis- sioner’s Court, relative to a white boy claimed under the Fugitive Slave act; Commercial, Religious, Folitical and Miscellaneous News, &c. ‘The Test Question In Our State Assembly—A Bombshell Among the Free Sotlers—Terri« bic Ducking and Dodging. The readers of the Hrnatp were no doubt highly amused and gratified in the perusal of the Assembly proceedings, which we published | yesterday, upon Mr. D. B. Taylor’s resolutions reaffirming the inaugural address of General | Pierce, and especially the Fugitive Slave law. The aceompanying explanation which we gave from the Albany .4rgus we deemed somewhat essential, however, to an inside view of the ques- tion; and, as the genuine key to the dueking and dodging of the free soilers, there could be no difficulty in understanding “the noise and con- fusion” which for a time prevailed. Nevertheless, to give a fuir hearing to all sides of the controversy we transfer to our columns this morning the interpretation, rs922- tively, ot the Albany Evening -i:’43, late e2n- tral organ of the Buffalo platform, an’ still the oracle of the democratic free soilers and soft shells, and of the Evening Journal, the inflexi- ble champion of Sewardism and his “higher law.” It will be observed that neither of these journals confront the direct issue face to face. They fight round it; they evade it; they never have been, and we presume they never can be, made to,toe the mark upon this Fugitive Slave law. The first resolution of the series. generally endorsing the inaugural. appears to have met with the hearty concurrence of the democratic free soilers; the second resolution, reaffirming the Monroe doctrine, as laid down by the Presi- dent, seems to have received the same cordial response of both factions of the “ reorganized democracy direct, honest, unequivocal, straight-forward declaration, at the tail of the third resolution, to wit:—*“that the State of New York pledges her faith to the Union, that every law adopted | ly the constituted authorities of the United Stales, including the Fugitive Slave law, shall be faithfully enforced within the limits of the State’’-—was too much for the conscien- tious scruples of the barnburners. melancholy spectacle which was presented of twenty-eight democrats taking the Kentucky | shoot upon the main question. Yet. from all that we can learn, Messrs. Beckwith, Bouton, Burrovghs, Bushnell, Champlin, Finch, Gale, PB. T. Gilmoré, D. Gilmore, A. C. Hall, B. Hall, Hibbard, Ingalls. Kearney, Lawrence Loomis, Martin, Miller, L. Osgood, Patierson, J. Rose, B. Smith, Spaffard, the Speaker, Streeter, Ten Eyck, Temple and Van Alstyne, are as enthu- siastic, in a general way. in support of the augural and the administration, as the Evening Atlas, the Evening Post, and the rank and file | of the free soilers and soft shells. But what baldfaced political hypocrisy is here. Ordinarily, one would conclude that to aman who could glorify the inaugural in the lump there could be no difficulty in digesting it in detail; but these conscientious disciples of the Buffalo platform find an impassable chasm between declaring that a certain law should be respected and the flat-footed declaration that they themselves will respect it. Brought to this pinch, they are missing when called for; they are not prepared to face the music; they wriggle and twist, they jump up, they chaffer, they dodge—they are gone. They have sworn to support the constitution, they admit that this Fugitive Slave law is a constitutional act yet when called upon to sustain it they cut and run. Ifsuch conduct is to he considered as the true interpretation of the Baltimore platform and the policy of the administration we shall soon have a favorable opening for the reorganization of the whig party. The democracy cannot stand npon this sandy foundation. If they are a party of principles they must abide by them; end the man who cannot en- dorse them should be turned adrift. It was free coilism that destroyed the late national whig organization ; the American people could not countenance a party wearing two or three faces upon the slavery question to s latitudes, And the administration cannot ly venture upon the same delusive and ruinous policy. If free soilers are to be retained in the democratic ranks by conceding them a conscientious reservation in favor the higher law,” the prestige of the party, and the brilliant prospects of the administration, are ex- of tinguished. Ifa man can swear by the Balti- more regclutions, the inaugural, and the admi- nistration, and yet “exeerate and spit upon” the Fugitive Slave law, and still be considered a member of the democratic church in gool standing, then indeed has the ‘ glory departed from 1 rae}, and the sceptre departed from th house of Saul.” We shall have in due time a definite solution of this question. The movement commenced by Mr. Burke in New Hampshire is progressing Read the Lette r of our Concord correspoadent, 1, We publish this morn ing y cautions the democrats he Granite Hills are against committing themselves to the common level of with the seditious faction of Martin Van Buren & Co., of 1848. They are deve to General Pierce, these men of New Hampshire; the 7 but the cream of the pot, the | Hence the | ‘proud‘of him—proud of the bread nation‘al prin- ciples which have distinguished his political life and which have carried him into power; but they are not yet quite ready to take the | Buffelo backsliders into full communion upon | their own terms, They seem rather inclined to fusist that these repenting sinners must re- | turn to the party upon the terms which the ; Party itself has laid down. And this is the ealy true policy for the success of the adminis- tration and the unity aml] indivisibility of the sgreat national democratic party. But it the Taylor resolutions are not adroitly evaded by our State Senate we anticipate a still more interesting scene in that body than the late terrible fluttering among the lame ducks and pigeons of the House. We shall ex- pect Mr. Gooley, on the first convenient | occasion, to try the test of the Fugitive Slave law among his senatorial brethren | of the soft shell persuasion. It may do them good. At all events it will be | aservice to the public towards defining the present position of the “reorganized democracy.” | We are destined ere long to have another re- agitation and panic upon the slavery question, of a more formidable shape and proportions | than any previous sectional warfare upon that exciting subject. The democratic party will be called upon to meet the issue. Let us, there- fore, know the ground upon which they stand. | Do they require an honest and explicit adhesion to the compromise measures, or do they allow a | margin of license to the sickly disciples of ‘the higher law?’ The question is only half de- termined for New York. Let the Senate speak. Tue Custom Hovsz Svrrs.—We observe that some of the whig papers praise the conduct of the late collector of the customs at this port, “Mr. Maxwell, in retaining a large sum of gov- ernment money in his possession. and locking it up in his private safe, on the plea that it was | due to him and some other custom house offi- cers for seizures, and that it would be retained until a suit at law decided whether they were entitled to the money or not. Since then a suit has been commenced against Mr. Maxwell by the parties claiming the money for seizures con- jointly with him, for the purpose of enjoining, the money in his possession. This suit, it is said is made up between the parties, with a view of shielding Mr. Maxwell from a government pro- secution under the provisions of the sub-treasu- ry law. We are afraid the gentlemen will find they have made amistake. In the first place, the maney r-ta.ned by Mr. Maxwell—$16,846 95— is not tae money obtained from the seizures claimed. The claims run back and extend over | a period of four years, since 1849, All the money from seizures was deposited from time to time with the Assistant Treasurer, as pro- vided for by law. Just previous, however, to Mr. Maxwell's retiring from office, he retained the money in his hands collected during | the last quarter, and, assuming it to belong to himself and his brother officers, locked it up in his private safe. A similar case may be sup- posed if an individual, professing to have a claim against the government, were to break in- to the sub-ireasury, and help himself to his pay | out of the iron safe now under the charge of | General Dix. Mr. Maxwell did not retain the share of the scizures he claims at this time, as the money was paid into the custom house, though even had he done 0 it is difienlt to perceive how it would have strengthened his case. | But this matter will have to be decided we suppose according to law and the enactments | of Congress, and they appear to be pretty plain | in such cases as Mr. Maxwell's. The act of } March 4, 1849, provides— ‘That from and after the 30:h day of Jnne, 1549, the gross amount of all duties received irom cus- | tom:, from the sales of public lands, aud from all miscellaneous sources, for the use of the United ates, shall be paid by the officer or agent receiving | the seme into the treasury of the United States at as early a day as practicable, without any abate- | ment or reduction, or account of salary, fees, costs, charges, expenses, or claim of any des scription whatever. And the Independent Treasury law pro- vides— That avy failure to pay over money shall be con- sidered as prima facie evidence of embezzleme which shall. be deemed a felony, subj offender to fine and imprisonment. We rather think this covers the whole ground pretty conclusively. It is said the present Secretary of the Treasury—Mr. Guthrie—is determined to carry out the law stringently in every instance, and is especially straight- backed as regards the provisions of the Inde- pendent Treasury enactment. He has already puta stop to the practice of issuing transfer drafts to private individuals, as being contrary to law; he sternly refuses to listen to any in- genious plan for “depleting” the treasury; and he has now a favorable opportunity of dis- playing his firmness in the settlement of the in the way ofa settlement of the matter, he is ‘sufficiently clear-headed to see that public opinion would universally condemn him. There is very little prospect, however, of anything being definitely arranged before De- cember, when it is to be hoped the President will be enabled to present to the Senate a satis- factory and liberal treaty, covering all the questions. Tse New ‘Wuicg Puatrorm—APreaL To Outo.—The New York Tribune gravely pro- poses to the whigs and free soilers of Ohio— constituting no doubt a solid majority of the voters of the State—a dropping of all past differences, a sinking of all their existing grudges against each other, upon the broad cold water platform of the Maine Liquor law. The idea is not a bad one. In 1840 the union of the whigs upon the hard cider platform elec- trified and revolutionized the whole country. And why should not pure cold water be as powerful a rallying cry as hard cider, we should like to know. Moreover, as the whigs and the whig free soilers of Ohio, cut into two parties, can do nothing but worry each other on the negro question, while the enemy slips in between them and car- ries off the spoils, why should the suicidal game be continued, and what better medium tor harmonizing can there be than the Maine Liquor law? All the old measures of the old whig party are done for; the party itself, in continuing to adhere to them, is done for; and there is no other resource for its reorganization than a new platform, with some good unques- tionable popular hobby tostart upon. The Maine Liquor law is the thing. It runs tremendous- ly upon its own account; but if adopted as the shibboleth of the whigs it would be «terrible as an army with banners.” Let the Ohio whigs reflect upon it, and act upon it, and let the Ohio whig free soilers chime in, if they wish the nomination of Wm. H. Seward as the Maine Liquor law candidate for the Presidency in 1856. They who would reap must prepare the ground for the harvest. Cold water is the only thing that can resuscitate the whig party of Ohio. Let it be tried. Stampspe or Tue Cantnet.—The Cabinet is on the eve of a stampede. The Secretary of the Interior has already left Washington. Mr. Cushing is to be at the Commencement at Har- vard on the 20th inst. Colonel Davis is going to visit New England, also, in the course of a few days. Mr. Marcy, we learn. is coming here to attend the opening of the Crystal Palace, and perhaps try and manipulate the discontented. Postmaster General Campbell will probably accompany him. We have not heard what dis- position Mr. Dobbin intends to make of him- self during the dogdays. Mr. Guthrie is so busy guarding the money chest that he will scarcely be able to get away. The country is evidently not in danger, and the Cabinet, we trust, will therefore have a good time of it. Tae Russ PAVEMENT IN THE BowsRy—InsuncTion Dis- | ease of our worthy ex-Collector and the six- teen thousand eight hundred and forty-six dollars and ninety-five cents which he has retained. What a pity for Mr. Maxwell and his friends the matter could not have been ar- | ranged while Mr. Corwin was Secretary of the | Treasury, he was such a nice. easy man! Qvestion—Tus Reports.— sence of any facts the Washington correspondents are speculating upon the fishery question, which, we are now informed, is to be adjusted on the ‘ Fillmore basis.” The truth, however, is, that up to the present time no progress whatever has been made towards a settlement of the difficulty. The President is desirous of having it adjusted at once, in a se- e convention, in order to save time, which will be necessary if the question of reciprocal trade and the navigation of the St. John’s and St. Lawrence are also considered. If a conyen- tion could now be made with reference to the disputed fishing grounds, it might enable our fishermen to reap the benefit of it in season for the sum: fishing, and avoid the unplea- santness and ill-feeling which the proceedings of Admiral Seymour naturally create. But the difi- culty is that Mr. Crampton, the British Minister, does not consider his instructions authorize him to regulate the fishery question in a separate tre and he has therefore written to England for further instructions on that point. It is probable, under these circumstances, that the negotiations will be transferred to London, as the speediest mode of arranging the various questions, Mr. Buchanan, ofcourse, fally under. stands the subject, and we have every confi- dence in his ability to do it justice. We can- uot believe there is any truth in the statements lippantly made in various quarters, that thore exists a jealously on the part of Mr. Marey on the subject, because he must know that bis position will at all events give him a certain éclat in aay proper adjustment which may be If, on the contrary, he were to allow g3 of personal ty to throw obstacles soLveD —The injunction issued against the laying of the Russ pavementin the Bowery, as ordered to be contract- ed for by the Common Council, came up for argument in the Supreme Court, before Judge Edmonds, and yerter- day the decision was mace that the ivjanction be dis scived. The dissolution of this injunction will be hailed with satisfaction by the citizens of New York, and more especially by the recidents on the line Opening of the Third Avenue Railrond. . A large number of the members of the prese, the judges ard aldermen of the city, the shareholders of the line, and other persons honored with ap invitation, con yered yesterday afternoon ats hotel at the upper eod of the rond, to celebrate tke opening of the Third Avenue Railway. There were some twelve cars ruuning on the live throughout the day! to convey invited guests to the place where the company had provided an entertainment for them. There cars were drawn by four horses, hand somely caparisoned and decorated; they left from Tryon Tow, at the corner of Chatham street, from one to three o'clock. At Van Cott’s tavern, at Fifty seventh street, we found a very large assemblage, for whom refreshments were provided on a liberal scale. After dinner seve- ral toasts, complimentary to the directoze of the railroad, the press, &e , were proposed and responded to, and the whole affair passed off with the utmost joviality. There were yesterday but twelve cars running on the line, and those were intended merely for the persons in- vited to attend the celebration. To-day the road com- menees its regular running, when there will be nineteen carson. These care are but little larger than those on the Fourth avenve, but the company purpose increasing their number to fifty, which will give ample accommodation totravel, The line now extends to Sixty: first street, com- merecing opposite the Astor House, running up Chatham street and the Bowery till it joins the Fourth avenue line at Grand steeet, and debouches at Filth streot, when it pursues the route of the Third avenue. it is intended Gvally to extend it to Harlem when the soad is regularly graded, Arrival of the Glasgow, The British serew steamship Glasgow, Capt.

ABRIVAL OF THE BALTIMORE FIRE COMPANY—THEIB RECEPTION, ETC., ETC. Last night the Fire Department of this city turned out in very large numbers, the greater part of the New York fire companies being present, te honer with a toreblight procession the arrival of the Columbian Engine Company No. 9, who have come on a visit to our city as the guests of Manhattan Engine Company No.8. The above men- tioned company left Baltimore on Friday night, and ar- rived in Philadelphia yesterday at noon, where they were received by the Weceaco Engine Company, as we believe it is called, ani will, on their return home, be received in the same city by other fire companies of Philadelphia, ‘They arrived in Jersey City about 10 o'clock last night, having left Philadelphia by the half-past four o'clock train of the New York and Philadel phis Railroad, amount- ing to about forty-two members. A greater number than this left Baltimore with the company, but were tized ont on their arrival at Philadelphia, and returned back again “homesick,” without taking the opportuntty of seeing the New York elephant. The remainder, forming the majority of the company, esme on, accompanied by Lin- hbard’s Band, the same that attended the Baltimorecom- pany who paid our city a visit a short time ago. Ontheir arrival they were received by a deputation from Man- hattan Engine Company No. 8, consisting of Mr. J. A. Lucas, assistant foreman ef the company, and Mr. Thos. A. Hempstead, one of its members. The foreman then addrersed Mr. Davis, the President of the Baltimore com- pany, in the following terms = Mr. President--The pleasing but embarrassing duty has devolved upon me, in your visit to our city, to offer you a Fi and heartfelt welcome, and in the name of the Fire Department of the city of New York, I take this op- portunity of so doing, hoping that your stay with ua ‘will be pleasing and agreeable (o your elves, and that you may have a safe return to your homes and firesider, ne- companied with pleasing récollections and reflections of your visit to our city. I would also mention, that our firemen of New York are in waiting, on the other side of the river, to respoud to the feelings that I have ex- presred. Mr. Davis replied in brief terms to the above address, expreesive of his thanks for the kindness and cordiality of the reception. In the meantime, on the New York side, the differ- ent fire companies had been arrayed in order from the foot of Cortlandt street, and along Broadway, ready on the arrival of the visiters to fail into regular line, the arrangements being such as to do credit to the Grand Marshal and his aids. The signal of the New ‘York companies being in regular order wes made known to the deputation on the New Jersey side by firiog a rocket, when the latter, in company with their guests, went on board the ferry boat, the Baltimorians dragging their engine, whichis » very beautiful apparatus, and was elegantly adorned with wreaths of flowers. The signal cf their departure was made known from the boat by firing off a rockst, and as they neared the dock on the New York side Linhard’s Band struck up a popular air ‘The landing of the visiters was received with loud cheer- ing, which was repeated the whole of the way up Cort- landt street and along Broadway, by the various New York companies, when the Baltimore company passed, as they proceeded to take their place at the head of the line. ‘The lond, enthusiastic cheering of the firemen, the glare of the lighted torches, and the assemblage of spec tators, all combined to give » romantic appearance to what would ctberwise not contain much novelty.

Their eagine is a very efficient one, having been in continual service for the last three years. It was made in Baltimore, but painted in this city, by A. #P. Moriarty, of 575 Hudson street. It is adorned with some beautiful paintings, emblematic of the name of the company. In front there is a portrait of the Indiao enief, Manhattan, from whom the island derives its name, and op one side a portrait of a young Indian girl, the daughter of the above mentioned chief, and on the other a picture representing o view on the Hudson ia its early days, when the savage ruled supreme; at the back there is a portrait of Washington, crowned with laurel. The procersion, having made a Jong detour up Broad-, way, proceeded along Grand street. -where » triumphal arch bad been erected in the course of yesterday, below Ludlow street, and then turned down the latter street, where the ergine house of the Maobattan Company is situated, end in front of which there bad been placed a placard, with the following inscription :— peoeooeceosooeo oe eltg °o WELCOME. o Pocoesocoocaecocsc® Here the fire companies le‘t the visiters, who were far- nished with a plentifal collation by their hosts—the Man- hatian Engine Company—and where the festivities were kept op until a late hour.

We are sorry to mention that Linhard’s Band lost from $70 to $80 worth of clothes by the fire at the Ameri- can Hotel, during the visit of the Baltimore fire company whom they accompanied, and that a great part of this was not destroyed by fire but was stolen, The loss ought to be made up to them in some way. As we mentiozed s few days ago, the dress of the Baltimore compauy resem- bles that of our New York fire companies. The fire cap is, however, blue instead of bleck, aad the brass orna- ment in front, with the aumber of the company, looks different, Poltee Intelligence Arrest on Suspicion of Stealing Money. —Officer Groen yeste:day arrested a mon named Patrick Burns, on sus- picion of stealing $280 in ban tle, from the possession of Wileon J.

The following is the sub- stance of the evidencs taken before the Coroner :— Wickleff W. Parkhurst sworn, says—I am a carpenter and framer; the deceased, James MoCauley, worked on the building in question; he was one of the plasterers; I worked on the same building ; Friday afterncon, about half-past 4 o’clock, when the storm came up, I was working with the other wen; I gaye orders for the men %0 come down or they would get wets they had just time to come down when the rain eom- menced; some took shelter in this building, and some in others; th jority of my men went to a build: id not fall; I framed the building that fell aod ator nae better timber into apy los gry Thave been a builder for over seven years past; I about one hundred and enty cross braces in the building that fell; all the and corner pieces were pinned to the posta; the were morticed in the sides; I considered the build~ ee perfectly safe; the wind blew downa brick wall six- teen inches thick aud twelve feet high, im the immediate neighborhocd. Win, Palmer builder, sworn, says—I saw the materials of said building; they were as good as I ever saw put into any buil ing; the framer did his work well; the way the - buildings were exposed, I was not surprised at thelr faile ing in conrequence of the violence of the wind and rai I would not hesitate to work on or about the building in an} Seabees oe or storm, 4 an sworn. 88ys—I was one of the workmen the building in question; iis deceased tia ala Sree at the rane building 1 was at work hesiye up and down stairs; I saw McCauley on the first floor, but where McCracken was I cannot ssy; I had eo7me down stairs to get & piece of timber, ard was in the act of going up sgain, when my attention was directed to the scups at Thompson’s whirling and fyi 5 ako to a brick wall on the aut rag tower ; when I cast my eye up and saw thet ‘built ing I was in falling I sprang out of the door upon some timber, and then into the street; at the same instant the building fell to the ground; the deceased partios and others were buried in the ruins; as faras Iam a iise the building was put up ip» w orimanlike manner; no fear of being in the building during the course of erection; the building wos put up by day's work. Samuel P. Townsend sworn, says—I am the owner of tho said building that fell aril og the storm; the work was done by day's work: | intended the Dufldiog for am exhibition room. and therefore intended it should be- built stronger than usual; the floor beams were twelve ivehes; I put in more iron columns than the carpenter thought was neceseary: I ordered some braces un- known to the carpenter; I did not order them for fear the builditg would not stand, only I wanted it as strong as it could be made; yester- day morning the braces came but they were too short, and I ordered them to be sent back to the shop again; the earpenter said he did not think it was necessary to put them ia; I do not think if the braces had been put irthat it would have saved the buildiog from destruction, judg~ ing from the strength of the storm on other buildings ber' wells in the neighborhood; the wind was ro strong it took a large portion of the rovf from my building between two hundred snd three hundred feet, over the top of a house, and now lies in Forty. third street. On the above evidence, and the testimony of Dr. Uhl showing the cause of death, the jury rendered the fol? ” lowing VERDICT: “That the deceased persons came to their death by injuries received by tke fuling of s building in Forty- third street, between Fitth and Sixth aveauss, dur- ing the storm onthe afternoon of the Ist duy of July, 1838.
