The instrue- tions and reports relativg to Geld and office work, the business letters, accounts and vouchers, records of spe- cisl investigations, map projects, reductions, files of en- faving proofs, and a masa of llansous matter re- lating to the hi-tory, details, tration and exacu- tion of every part of the Coast Survey work—all these records meté up an aggrega'e, the stubborn discursive- ness of which no system quite wuflices to tame, Personal memory must also be mace to henr its part; but, alas, how few of the swift thronging events i owded office life leave mnemonic footprints! it is a sad thought that the treasures we consign to m y, hike evanescent sky tints, vanish with the swi't houts; tints and treasures alike gp beycnd recall. Excellent for present use, but for future reliance poor, indeed, are living mnemonic tablets.

We might add much of possible interest in regard to the record duties of the office. We might show how impor tant even to the field operations {s a careful, systematic errangement and charge of the archives and epistolary reco: We wight make apparent the intimate relation between an efficient office administration and a well di- rected, energetic prosecution of the field work. We should not lack materials for amusement were we at liverty to exhibit the epistolary oddities which turn up in the thick of the current of correspondence. But our attention must Sow be turned to that chart making phase or proeess which gives cecupation to far the greatest por- tion ofthe cice eriomnd. renee), genera! cirection of the assistant in cha: Of the office, and under the special direction of taeir as ropriate heads, the following departments contribute heir labors in producing the Coast Survey charts:—I. The Computing Department; 2. The Drawing Department; 8. The Engravirg Department; 4. The Electrotype De- Fectmant; 6. The Printing Department; 6. The Archives. e department of instrument making and that of car. try complete the roster of distinct oflice subdivisions. 'e will now give tome d+tails of the work and processes in these several departments. it in order ana first in the intellectual character ef ite duties, is the Computing department. This has for ita object, the exeeution of the second or check compu- tations of aii those elements in thi Ustion which are requisite to competing the results of field obrerva- tion. The base messurements, the latitude, longitude, azimuth, vertical anv horizontal anyle observations, af- ford the means of deriving, by computation. the exact po: sition of, and the distances between,the various observing and observed stations. These computations are once made by the observdes themselves, and again Pdependently by the cflice consput so that a comparison of results must bring out all errors in the form of discrepancies, and & parallel revision of the two computation: will show the exact point of divergence and the requisite correction. ‘The vast body of compatations in- volved in the entire mass of primary, secondary, and tertiary triangulation done and remaining for cem- pletion, ean be tolerably conceived by inspecting the table of 3,240 geographical genes in the aanual report for 1851, for each of which positions a latitude and a longi- tude are given—as also the azimuth, back azimuth and length in metres, yards and miles, for each line of the @onnecting triangulation. These elements, fixicg the ositiens Of stations se accurately that the average pro- ble er: or in the connecting lines or distances does not ‘exceed one foot in six miles, afford the means of plotting with the greatest exactnesi the necessary points of refer: ence for soundings and plaetable objects. The triangu- Iation so far precedes the other operations as to make thesa computed data available for the topographical and hydrographic parties, thereby saving them all necd of measuring lineal distances, and leaving for them only the termination of relative positions. But the computing depastment has other and higher duties. On it devolves the combination of all the results, by the various observers of the survey, and the elinaiaa- tion of the great facts of the earth’s figure, by the con- nested discussion of arcs of meridians acd of parallels, ‘The geodesy of the survey must a‘sume its definite shape ‘and mature ail its gravd results in the computing depart- ment, and through these labors must be won the world- wide laurels for the work asa whole. In organizing the system of computations for the const survey, the geodetic formule were r+-examined and carried to a closer degree ‘of approximation, tested by reference to the maxima of the fonctions involved, and put into forms more conve- nient for computing.’ The formule for computing azi- muths has also been much simplified. Uniformity of computations for the entire work has been secured by the use of printed forms. There is s great variety of delicate and difficult subjecta connected with the probable errors of methods, and sete Of observations; the character of catalogues, and of parti- cular instruments; the general physical elements of ob serving—like refraction, personal equation, &c., besides some more abstract investigations in pure and’ applied euaiysia; allof which demand for their successful treat- ment, clear beads, rhiiful master? of mathematical tools, aod & quick perception of the relations between abstrac ‘sod physical elements. The putations incident to the study of tidal pheno- mens ee Yesal 80 tation bast for general discussions, are formed either under the superintendent's own yy the office tidal computers, these being not exactly a pert of the computing department, but acting under a se- parate direction. Next in order is the dra Pag beygee & tg this the topographical an irographic shests, which are usu- ally Tole on scales of 1-10,000th and 1-20,000th of na- tare, are reduced to the scales proper for publication, ‘and their details are prepared for engraving.

The contour lines are either reduced ta pencil and made the guide for the draftsman in hachureing the hills by | short perpendicular pen strokes, or the curves are re- duced in itk, end the engraver puta in the tachures, a course only practicable, however, with a first clasy | engravers. ‘be best reductions have almost a microsco- pic accuracy of detail while in point of finish and style they are rarely much inferior, and sometiin-a superior, to the engraving. They cuted in great part under a magnifying g To reducing the hydrography. | limited selection of the soundings actually made is re- tained, the choice being made with a view te presenting | the important characteristicr of the evean bottom. Curves of depth are carefully made out, and these serve as guides for the engravers in sarding the bottom slopes, The drewing departiment has much work to do in pre- paring skeiches for the annual reports. and in easwering calls for information by traced copies, Next in order comes the Engraving cepartment. In this the finished reductions aud sketches of the drawiag department are transferred by engravers on to or inte copper plates; all the lettering of sailing directions, names, titles, notes, tide tables, &c.,are executed from manuscript, and the views of heaclards ani harbor ea- trances are engraved or etched from the origiaals. ‘The processes of the copperplate engravers are fow and simple, though the attainment of skill in their use ré- quires long practice. The engraver first traces the out- imes and details of bis work on a transparent sneet of fish glue. Having flashed a delicate film of wax over the sur- face of his copper plate, he reverses his tracing in ita correct position on the wax film, and so transfers the black lines of his tracing tothe plate. The lines being thus printed on the wax he follows them with # tracing point and lightly cuts them into the copper, 89 as to aflord sufiicient guidance for the « etailed strokea of the graver, Most of tue office engraving is exesuted with the dry point; but the process of etching is employed for most of the views, aud semewhat, too, for reccpnolssance topograpby. Ia this process the en- graver lays bis ground of wax, and then with a needle point diaws the desired lines through the wax coating, When Le has ccrmpleted this drawing, Pe encloses his en: graved area in a wax dyke, and pours over it an tion, which is suffered, for a carefully regulated interval, to est into the copper along tue lives of drawing, the suriace being elsewhere protected by the wax coating. " teriug is all done with the graver in pure English nd some Coast Survey letter specimens are par- baps superior in beauty of execution te any other letter engraving ever done in this country. When erasures are ne sy, the method practised is to scrape out with a rapier-p inted sera per the field of erasure, and then to ley this hollowed spot, face Cownwards, on & amall anvil, while by hammering on the back the plane face {s.re- stored or beaten up. Thus the plate, when doae, has a polished plane cepper aurface, except’ the engraved lines, which are cut in like little valleys or ravines in thia cop- per prairie. The rugged burr of copper left along the edge of these lines by the graver is ground away by 30al- ing the face of the plate for # time with a tampon of charcoal. Of course all lines and letters require to be reversed on the plates, Next to the engreving con es the process of electrotyping —a process having for its object to multiply copies of the engraved plates by electro-casting Through its ag the most elaborate plates, on which sometimes is appl over three years work of first class engravers, are exactly reproduced or duplicated, in about a week, without in- jury to the original ‘art bas been greatly promoted by the highly successful labors and devices of Mr. @. Mathiot, the electrotypist in the Coast Survey Uifice; and the copying of plates has now reached a decidedly highey in his perfection bands than in any ether known place or circemstarces. in the world, Proofs of its expacities and of his skill may be seen in the Coast Survey elactrotype plates ex- hibited at the Crystal Palace The process is simpiv this: The original plate is silvered, washed in av alcoholic s0- lution of iodine, and exposed for a few minutes to a st ong light. It is thea suspended in a solution of sulphate of copper. parallel to, and about an inch from, another plate of rolled copper. A current froma powerful battery of quantity is then so passed that the engraved ani ro! copper plates become electrovea, and an eluctrolytic ac- tion goes on im the solution of sulphate. A deposit of copper onthe engraved plate then proceeds by the de- composition cf the sulphate, while the freed acid at- tacks the rolled copper plate, and so supplies aulphate of copper to the solution. This action is con first in a vertical and then ina horizontal pos! the plates, until the amount of copper deposited i 7 cient to make a plate that will bear free handliog. Thi solution in the horizontal vat is heated by a constant heater to from 160 deg. to 180 deg., during work; the griginal aod deposited plates are then withdra 4a together from the solution, filed around the edges, and separated along the iodine lsyer. The original is thus released, and this deposited plate, called an alto, ia, in tarn, u-ed'as a matrix on which to deposit a new plate in the same man, ner. This plate is a perfect copy of the original, and ia found to be better for printing tha the origi- nals, on account of the greater compactness and pwity of the copper. This process has row attuned tho great- ect ce: tainty when in skilful hands. It has been applied to plates of the largest size, with a degree of suxcess best appreciated by inspecting a eet, (among those now at the Crystal Palace,) including an @ an alto, and a basso or du: 1e, each 42 by 38 inches in size, and, ex cept the alto, one-eighth of an inch thick. Next and last comes the prin'ing department, which has for its simplo function the businers of copper-plate printing, and im which the methods are those usually employed in copper and steel plate printing. The ink is worked over the face and into the lines of the plate by a hand ink roller, the plate being warmed, fo-the purpore of softening the ink, by placing iton am fron box filled with steamy vapor from a distant fire and boiler. The mass of enrplus ink is then wiped from the face of the plate by rubbing it with rags, and the wiping is thon Completed by rubbing with the palms of the is, a method for which no good substitute has yet been dia- covered. The wiping being completed, the plate is laid om’ the bed of a copperplate printing prarr, the sheet of map paper is laid on its face, and they | are then drawn, by & band erank movement, under the heavy pressure of *ue press roller. Blankets are interposed between (he press roller ani the aot On Lifting the paper trom the plate, the ink before lod, in the engraved lines apreara on the impression in ri lines, The process of inking, wiping and pressing wears outa plate quite rapidly, so that a fine copper plate usually gives orly from 1,000 to 1,500 perfect impressions, though the largest electrotype plats yet used, notwi:hstanding 3 2,000 unimpaired impressions. Steel plates give a much ater number of prints before failing, as many as 60,000 being sometimes attained; but these are not used in the Coast Survey office, because the original cost of en- graving on them is from a third toa half greater, and era- sure from them i8 also much more difficult. Considerable attention has been bestowed in the Coast Survey office on the improvement of the pressing process, 80 as to obviate the distortion of large sheets in priating. By substituting iron tor wood and other materials in the large printing press employed for the largest maps, more uniformity has been secured, and the distortion produced by the roller has been partially remedied by the mode of possing.the paper through the press, A press printing yy the pressure ofa plane surface is still considered very desirable, ond Mr. Saxton has been experimenting for thia purpose.’ A paper is also much desired which shall hare its fibres composed as in felting, and not arranged in one Girection, as in ordinary paper. @ The part borne by the Archives in the progress of these various operations ia sufficiently obvious, being, indeed, but the careful administration of the original materials, to which constant recourse is had. The instrument shop is chiefly occupied in the con- struction and repairs of instruments for use in field and hydrographic work, The system of accounts, accountability and disburse- ments is simple and thorough, a special disbursing agent being charged with the entire detail of monetary admin- istration, under adequate rules and instructions.

UNION COURSE, LONG 19LAND—TROTTING V8. PACING. A match for $6,000, play or pay, tem miles out, came off yesterday afterncon, between the trotting horse Prince, driven by Hiram Woodruff, and the pacing horse Hero, driven by George Spicer. The trotter wom the race, the pacer giving up the contest at the end of the ninth mile. This is the second ten mile race between these cole- | brated horses, the trotter proving victorious in both. In the first race, it will be remembered, the pacer broke down on the sixth mile, which was caused, it was said at the time, by his not being quite up to the mark in cendi- tion; but it was the speed at which he was forced along in the second, third, fourth, and fifth miles of that race thattold the tale—the pace was killing to both; but the trotter managed to live the longest, and won. The pacer was driven differently in this race—he trailed the trotter thronghout, going no faster than was prudent; but with all the nursing and management of his skilful driver, his bottom fell out when it was most needed, and he came to a stand still after going nine miles, There was a very large concourse of people at the track | to witness the race~probably three thousanl—who went out in every conceivable conveyance, from # six horse omnibus to a butcher's cart, and the roads from the fer- ries to the race course presented a lively appearance, both going afd returning. Several breakdowns occurred; @ wheel ran off a six horse omnibus, which was left de- rerted, the passengers having to look up better convey- ances, while the occupants of others were spilled by their horses running away, or rimilar mishaps—all tending to add to the perils and pleasures of life on the road. The betting on this great race was decidedly in favor of the trotter, aud almost any odds was given on him—tho current betting being about a hundred to twenty. There was, however, nothicg like the amount posted which changed hands on the previoas race, Time be's were scarce, the few wade being on twenty-eight and under, which were lost. ‘The track was in capital order, no pains being spared to make it as emooth as a ballroom floorg and as the weather was admirably suited for the contest, a rapid race was anticipated. : First Mite.—The horses came up very slowly for the wort, and were etarted at about a four minute gait, the trottr on the insite; and before he got around the tarn the pacr cropped in behind him, and when the trotter reached tie halt mile pole—time 1:30—the pacer was about two opm engtha in the rear, where he lay until the trotier cros@i he score. Time 3:01. ‘Second Mile,—The trotter sharpened his gait as he lft he score, aad drew away from Hero three or four lengths; but finding that the pacer intended to take the mator easy in the early stages of the game, he also adopted tle saving system, and jogged along at a quiet exercisiig gait. ‘The pacer drew closer in coming up the hone stretch, letting Prince go to the stand about three lengtis in front, in 2:54, Third Male.—The pacer dropped off again on leaving tie stand, Spicer being deter:nined not to put him overa 2:50 gait until further in the race. Hiram drew awi some half dozen lengths on the upper turn, to whit Spicer paid no attention, keeping his horse at ease, wél knowing that he could make up a few lengths at ary time, so long as the trotter did not get below 2:40, Thy trotter made this mile in 2:49, Fourth Mie —The owner of Prince now called te Hiran to send him along, and he quickened his pace for abou a quarter of mile; but finding that the pacer still re tained his position of about six or eight lengths behind he took the trotter up again, and came to the score i 245%. Fig Mile —On leaving the stand, the trotter dashed off at a rapid rate; and the pacer seemed also inclined to Jooven himself from the pent up gait st which he had been driven, and he drew a little closer. The trotter went very fast down the back stretch, passing the half mile pole in lees thar 1:20, and it was supposed that the struggle for mastery wss about setting in. Spicer, how- ever, kept his position, and would not be drawn into a contest. The trotter crosed tne score this time in 2:41, about thirty yards in front, without appearing in the least distressed. The pacer sso looked iresh, and some oflers of thirty against # hundred were picked up by the backers of the trotter. Sixth Mile.—The trotter took it moré leisurely around the upper turn this time, and the pacer kept his distance in the rear, as usual, not goicg any nearer than before, and they jogged along pleasantly, completing the mile in 2:45 34. Seventh Mile—Hiram looked like mischief as he left the stand, and he let his horse loose, going to the quarter pole in thirty-eight seconds, and to the half in about 1:18, which brought the pacer to a greater exhibition of speed than he haa previously shown. He cloved up three or four lengths of the "gap, and appeared so Vigorous | that his backers began to feel ccmfortable and talk | knowingly of his powers and speed, The trotter crossed the score in 2:083¢. Eighth Mile—Spicer had now to resort to the forcing | Principle, ‘The pacer war evidently thinking it ghowe | time to stop the fun, as he had hadenongh to any reasonable man that he was not omly & fast horse, bul one of extraordinary bottou; but the trotter was twenty yards ahead, ‘and going, Hin hand, and strong and wel qeeclas tn the losst would amount to a back down. ‘Spi. bit about in his mouth, and endeavored fet ROT, ia all possible ways; but coming up to the fore, it war pa!pablo that he could not hold out much onger_ The time of this mile was 2:1234. ‘Ninth Mile—The trotter broke away again on leaving the stand, and passed the quarter pole in ile ig to | et away @8 far as possible fram tha pacar: SS haververy litile trouble in doing se, as the 1aywso? Ese latier became very mush entangled down the backstretch, and much more on the lower turn; and, as he came on the homestretch, he appeared to be looking for a. hole in the fence to get outat. Ho had enough—he was whipped —he knew it—and by the time his driver got him to the stand, he was also satisfied that his chances were out, ‘The trotter dashed over the score at the top of his speed for the last and the deciding brush, making this mile 2:40. Tenth Mile —The pscer being stopped, Hiram, as soon as he became aware of the fact, toox up his horse and came slowly home, amid the shouts of his friends and the winners on the race, The following is a summary of the affair:— Faipay, Nov. 1l—Trotting and pacing match for $6,000, p.p., ten miles out, in harness, drivers to weigh 168 lbs.

To-day, at the Centreville course, commencing at eight o’ciock in the morning, a race for $4,000, one hundred progress of the survey. Then the superintendent was able daily to inspect ail its operations, and to vorify in eon the work in hand, Now he can scarcely find time for 2 detailed monthly irspection; so much has the ex- tent both of field and of office work been increased by the organization into sections, and other changes. The assistant in charge of the office, even dowa to the time when Capt. A. A. Humphreys, of the Topographical Engineers, was relieved by Major I. I. Stevens, of the corps of engineers, at the close of 1849, was able to do the duties now devolving on the various heads of office departments—oaly, however, by ruinons over-applica- tion To Major, now Gov. Stevens, the present office or- ganization owes’ much of its completeness, the superin- tendent liberally seconding his efforts. On’ his apgoint- ment as Governor of Washington Territory, in March last, Capt. H. W. Benham, of the corps of engineers, was ap- pointed his successor. The experience in administrative duties aequired by officers of engineers and topographical engineers, has proved exceediagly opportune for the dis- charge of the complicated functions of this pesition. The superintendent is a striking example of the value of the peculiar species of training observed, his education as a West Pointer and an engineer officer being the best possible for producing a union of scientific and adminis- trative talent. We must not farther protract our remarks on office work and organizatiop, nor is it needful so to do, for the number and character of the mape open to publio in- apection at the Crystal Palace and elsewhere, will speak ‘various accidents of tha ground in their true posi tions and relations, and delireates them in a clear, trong, but unfinished style, proper for his large ecale. He represents hills by contour lines or level curves, ‘twenty fest apart vertically, while fields, marshes, houses, forests, &o., are indicated ‘by appropriate conventional Gelineations. The office draftsman takes the several table sheets, covering the ground of the final map as indict ted by a’map project, aud reduces all these to the publication scale, thus making what is called a re- duction. The first step im making a reduction is accu- rately to plot on the fresh sheet all the triangulation and well determined plane table points within its limits, which points afford a constant check on error and a means of correctly combining the various original sheets. Three modes of reducing are constantly emplorec in this office. The mont elegant ‘and rapid, though hardly the most accurate, is that by means of the camera lucida, in which, by regulating the projection ejuares of the #0 wn exactly to coincide in apparent position corresponding squares on the juction, all their tents are traced by the pencil in thei: redused correla- tive forms and positions. The camera ia limited in its ower of mars scales by the ratio of about one to four, as beyond this it loses ‘lixtinctnes#, and so makes necessay an intermediate reduction. It is also found te be very trying to the “es 50 that the draughtsman must often take arenpite. The ure of the lens to correct the camera for lax in due to Mr. Borden, the director of ‘the Massachusetts Survey. The method of corresponding squares is the one moat used, especially for outlines, and is rather preferred for the finest reductions. In this process either frames with equares made of fine thread are applied to the original, or squares are ruled, either directly on, the original, or on an attached sheet of tracing. vn Or fish-glue. Corres ponding squares are then A her ruled on the reduction Sheet, or are represented by a reducing fra f the Bie Then the lines and points are transferred y the eye from each original square to its redaced cor Belative, ‘The pent ph ia the third mode of reducing in w Tt depends almost entirely for ita utility and correctnes @0 the workmanship snd combination of the psrticular attempts to employ this device Office seversl years sizce, 80 unsatisfactory as to cause the aside, Recently, however, it has a for themselves, and will fully atone for the deficiencies and imperfections of the analysis which we now con. clude, Personal Intelligence.

No atieinpt to go iato the territory without government license, are being made now.

We presume that his opinion will soon be ready, as he is given to earnestly working in such matters. Government Laxps Iv New Mrxico axp Uran.—It is most probable that the executive branch of the government will at once earnestly urge on Congress the importance of extending the land system of the United States over the territories above named, with the view of preventing in- terminable difficulties about land titles, which must otherwise arise there, and to facilitate and encourage the emigration thither of agricultural setiers in those quarters, Extra ALLOWANCE 70 OFFICERS SERVING ON A‘ BOARD,’— According tos recent Treasury Department decision, an officer of the army or navy, who is entitled to an ‘extra allowance” while serving on a “ board’’ under the order ly actual organization of the and while he is actually serving on it—not from the date of its constitution hed order of thefsecretsry—until it has been officially dissolved, Axomiem Heap Orr tn Massacuvserts.—Mr, Stiles, Post- master at Bedford, Mass., (an appointee of the present administration,) has been removed, and Henry A.

The European News and the President's Message—The Cuba Hoax—Gen. Davis ani Senator Toombs, Lc. ‘The news from Europe, I doubt not, will be taken up in Consideration in cabinet council te mcrrow. In the meantime, the full advices are expected. 1 understand that the President will make the affairs of Europe, (should they continue to ripen towards a general explosion,) a prominent feature of his mesrage. As far as the opinions | of the Cabinet can be gathered on this Turkish question and its consequences, you muy rely upon it that the ad- ministration understand the advantages a European war will offer in the solution of the great doctrine of ‘mani. feat destiny.” Hence, to some extent, the continued out- cry of the Union on the Africanization of Cuba, notwith, standing the fact that Mr. Crampton has officially ia- formed the President that the charges and fears of Mr. Nicholson concerning the schemes of Great Britain are utterly groundless, This English policy, as ciphered out by the Union, the British Minister has declared to the President not only fictitious, but ridiculous, because it in- volves the recognition of the African slave trade, against which the policy of kngland is specially directed; aaa be- cause the Quintuple treaty and sundry acts of Parliament must be repealed before my Lord Aberdeen could presume to enter into the alleged project for the Africanization of Cuba. ‘The objects of the Union in these tirades against John Bull are—first, to place the administration rectus in curia on the slavery question; to show that it is not Van Bu- renized, but {s warmly alive to the interests of the South; {o throw England and France upon a wrong scent, while Mir. Soulé is busy behind the smoke negotiating with Cal- ceron de la Bares aud Queen Ubristina. All this is atriot- ly according to the priviloges of diplomacy—a science which is as full of tricks and stratagems as the art of war. And sbould the President call the atteation of Congress to this subject of “Africanization,” and +hould a resolution be introcuced into the House, of course it will increase the “noise and confusion,”’ very much to our advantage, It is to be hoped that seme good stiff Southern resolu- tion in reference to Cuba wili be offered ia the House at an early day, fer the purpore of ascertainiag where the free soil allies of the Van Burens and the Evening Post are on this vital question of slavery, and what is the exact meaning of their Syracuse resclutions to resist the agita- tion of the slavery question. There are some persons hero who suspect that these free soil declarations comprehend their resistance against anything looking to the exteasion of the area of the Southern Staies. And it is due to Gen Cushing to say that he at least desires the “soft shelis’”” of Congress to be brought to a practical test upon this question. Apprehensions are entertained here among the know- ing ones, that with the success of the Seward party io New York, the Tins may desert the Cabinet; but I doubt not the ‘little joker’? will hold on at least till the meet- ing of Congress. ears are entertained that we may lose the services of Hon. Jefferson Davis as Secre:ary of War after the assembling of Congress, on account of the incipient affair of honor which has been raised between him and the Hon. Robert Toombs, a Senator elect from Georgia. It ia, as Sir Lucius O'Trigger would say, ‘a mighty pretty quarre! as it stands,” and, according to Southern usages, it can only be settled by an interchange of complimenta at Bladeasburg, or some other bloody locality, We trust the aflair may be settled, however, as was the quarrel be- tween Louis Philippe and General Jackson, without coming to the arbitrament of saltpetre. We should ra- gretto lose the Cubinet services of Gen. Davis until the democracy are thoroughly harmonized. We hope that Mr. Toombs will insist in waiting tili this business is ac- cor plished before undertaking the grave business of set- tling the dieunion question with General Davis or any other member of the Cabinet. It seems that the Washington Aqueduct celebsation the other day was a private affair, and was kept a pro- found secret except to the parties concerned in getting it up till the very morning of their departure from Georgetown. If Iam correctly informed, the President himself was not advised of it till the evening before, from which it would appear that the object of our corporation here was to make the celebration a little concern of their own, In all other places in the civilized world it would have been a public jubiler, and instead of t vo hnn- dred people present there would have been thousands and tens of thousands Perhaps this corporation could not afford the expense of a public celebration, and were thus compelled to cut it down toa private dinner, sent up to the great folks in a hamper basket from an oyster cellar. We have no other aj 0 make for them. oe DON CARLOS. ‘The Fire in Maiden Lane. TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEW YORK HERALD. Sim—Permit me to reply to the statement made by Mr. Adam M. Vultee, of No. 95 Maiden lane, im reference to the fire that occurred in that building on Wednesday evening last. I was on duty, examining the store doory ascertaining all to be fastened, when I was spoken to 'T Mr. Vultee, asking me if I was a watchman. I told 1m Iwas. He then asked me to come up stairs, as ther Was smoke in his room, and he did not know where « came from. I went up stairs, and feund his roost full of smoke, and not discovering aay fire there, I gsscended to the floor below, axd at the room occupied by Jaffe & Schmadbeck J «melt the emoke through the key hole. At this tine Mr. Vultee appeared much alarmed. I told him to keep quiet until I procured assistance, and would be back again in @ minute I then went down stairs and ve the alarm rap at the corner of Goli street and aiden lane. I received no answer. I then went to the corner of Gold and Platt streets, and gave another alarm, but received no answer. I then returned immediately back to 95 Maiden lane, and there met policeman Cava- nagh, of the Second ward police. I informed him of the fire; we both proceeced up stairs to the room where the Bre was, _T asked the officer if I should br#Aly was pret sent at the time; the room was full ef smoke; the police- man asked for water; Mr. Vultee said there was none in the building. The officer and myself then went across the street to Clark & Brown's, procured a pail ef water, and returned back to the room with it, but the smoke was so dense that it prevented our eutering the room, By this time the insurance watch arrived with their hose, and commenced forthwith to play on the fire, and very soon extinguished it. I made no unnecessary Celay, bit did all in my power to procure assistance, and aided in extinguishing the fire. EOWIN MESLER, Private Watchman, Novemnar 11, 1853. a nn Married, By the Rev.
