After organizing at the Astor House, tho first witness called was “Zophar Milla, who being sworn, said:—I reside at 207 Ma- ~dison street; aman exempt fireman, and now one of the Trustees of the Fire Department; I'was formerly Pre- ‘sident of the department; the fire in question was at “281 Broadway; I was at my house when heard the fre bell strike; 1 dressed in my fire clothes and ran to the fire; I immediately went into the buildin ; this was about 8 o'clock; when f of 1g I noticed the upper stories ov fire; the ‘fiames were coming out of the upper windows; the front building was six stories high and probably forty feet +deep, with an extension in the rear of two stories, covering the balance of the lot, about sixty feet; ‘went into the building I saw the stairs on fire; the dimes were coming down from the third story; Twenty-one’s “pipe was there, and arranging the hose to go to work in ‘the secona story, and in a tew minutes the water was thrown on the fire, which led from the second to the third story; their stream stopped the fire from coming sdown; I then turned my attention to the rear part of the building; on this extension th re was a lange through'that skylight 1 could see the refly pouring out from the windows in the front buil a-Indder was then brosght into the » and one end thrust through dight to enable the firemen to get oa the rear building: I went on the roof, and so did ces ‘ral others; I then saw the urgent necessity of haviug water there to prevent the fire extending to the other duilding; I called to Assistant Engineer Howard, ia order ‘that he might send up a pipe of water, for had that been done, and # stream of water played on the main builu the great heat would have kept them off sufficiently tant on the rear roof, where they would have been safy; notwithstanding the falling of the wall, Engincer Howard instantly came up the ladder on the roof to take a view of it, and immediately orvered the hose to come up; I’ then went down the Indder, to assist in getting s ie; When about half way down the lalder, the rear wall of the front building fell and carried down with it about half the roof of the rear ¢ sion; carrying both floors down to the first flo cellar ; I was on the ladder at the time, and of ‘course’ descended with it; I scrambled out as well aslcould; it was all dark, dust and smoke; my fire cap was knocked off by a timber, and I received a bruise on amy shoulder and other parts of my body; the instant 1 saw s gleam of light I crawled out through the rains to- wards Broadway; on my way out I passed over ani felt “two men, who appeared to be fastened down by the timbers; they were groaning and calling for help; the first man I saw after I cot out was Mr. Maisell, the Chief of Police; he stood nvnr the front door; 1 (oid him men were under the ruins; Lealicd also to the frewen that thers were others in’ there buried in the ruins; the front wall on Broadway wax then standing, as if nothing was the mat- Yer; the beams of the first tloor seemed to be perfect and also ¢ on the second fluor; I then went to N 42 engine Bpuce, in Murray stree’, and procured anuthe Sire cap, and while 1 was away, that portions of the front building fell; { then went through the American Hotel to the rear of the building, for the purpose of assisting in rescuing the men who were then under the ruins; I bad to climb over a wail to get to the rear. Witness here remarked—I shou'd like now to give my opinion as to the cause of this falling. Coroner—Well, proceed. Witzess—Tho rear wall of the upper four stories of the front building was supported by iron girders or arches, which extended from side \o side clear across the building, the ends being inserted in the walls of the ad- joining buildings; the building in question had no walls ‘of its own; the object of having these girders was ovi -dently to form a salesroom, and the rear wall of the front building had been taken away to form a contin- uous room or open space between the first and second stories of the rear extension. The iron girder apycars to have been very improperly secured; in fact, one vend of it acarcely rested on anything, and the other rojected from the bricks; it can be teen now. This Jici, in my' opinion, caused. the girder to cant ov which threw the wall out of plumb and caused it to fal This rear wall appears to me to have been like a trap door, not being supported by any side wall, apparently having no connection, and ready to fall at any moment bythe tilting of the girder either one side or the other. This is my judgment in the matter. As the fire bat. not been burning over twenty minutes, the beams were not gurnt through, nor had the Giro progressed far enough to causeany danger. On the south side of the building, next to the Ame: ledge of bricks run up,of four inches, being the widtis of one brick; this is all that supported the beams on that side; I did not notice whether the beams were in addition let into the main wall of the hotel; on the north side of the build- tT miny return I was told Jet into trimmer beams, having no direct connection with the main wall of the adjoining building; when this rear ‘well fell I suppose some part of it fell outside and other portions inside, resting there a few moments on the boams, veerrying them down with it, which was the occasion of the second disaster; the fcont building 1 co was the most insecure I ever witnessed; in fact, all of those iron girders are very dungerous, especially when they support a wall; and ihe vibration wil always tend ‘to loosen them; in fact, this front building is the most miserably constructed one | ever saw, patched up evi- dently from « dwelling house, having no proper wall erected to support itself ; and my only wonder is that it fa not fall by its own weight, without any fire. To Mr. Genin, foreman of tho jury—If this builling had been built since the law passed, the owner would be every twenty four hours until it had been removed; I never saw ® building fall co soon after the fire; [ have seen thousands of buildings burne!, and I nev fall so soon before; I had not the least idea of its falling, little; we never ex, way, poe ( ‘the roof was stillon; the falling of the building was, its construction. EVIDENCE OF MR. MILLER. Jawes L. Miller, being duly sworn, de} was a carpenter, and lived at No. 363 Broome stré altered the building, which was originally a , Be, should. Judge, from appearances; altered at the time when he worked o: in, say what time it was aliered, but it had been altered by erected to the height of thirty-five feet; the building had | the appearance of having complied with the fire laws, havi additional four inch well built up side b with the old one; this was done to make the wall inches thick, 0 ‘as to comply with the fire law building has been altered, he should judge, at two dier- ent times—that is, once before he altered it himself once to a four story building, and the second time to had no recollection of its having been altered since; by building be reared up as high os the party by a party wall four inches thick, and in acme places no party wall was traceable | That kind; the timbers had nothing to rest upon, except thie party wall; the fire law in relation to) matters this description is, that no wall already built shall be in -oreaned in strength by adding to its thickness; the bui ing, in his opinion, was not a proper one for the purposes it enused fe the a al- jor: it fault was that it had ‘tered many t! | for whic it was originally erected, nantly, a raliing Howse; witness agreed with what Mr. Mills, the first id in reference to the building of a back ithout taking into consideration the where he states the iron girder was perfect Proper ; And the wall built over it was not up properly; it was too slight; it had the appearance of | ‘& good wail, but was too ¢light—not of sufficient | thickness; it should not have beon less than twelyo they did not comply with the law in this |rertioolar, if belng only eight jaches thick. | Coroner.—Q. uty was it to seo that the walls should be of sufficient thickness ? : is fe Hotel, there appears to have been & ing some few of the beams were let into the wall of the next building, but a large portion of them appeared to be sider liable to a fine of $500, and afier being notified, $5 for saw one nor had any one else; the beams were burnt but very st a wall to fall until the roof gives orsome of the beams, but in this case the wail fell in my opinion, caused by the very improper manuer of pose—That he had been nit, which was in 1841 or 742; it had been altered previously; could uot lowering the beams of the first story, to make an casy access to the store from the street; the law in relation to the erection of buildings is that cight inch walls may be | x stories; the Gre laws require that an eight inch wall shall not be made higher than thirty five feet; the alteration | in the walls must have taken place in 1842, because he & wall twelve inches in thickness it may might see fit; witness had examined the building, and found that in some places the rear wall had the appearance of having been EE ; witness! did not examine tt a8 thoroughly as he might have done; examined it on Thursday afternoon; the Wall ia not a one to be used in the construction of a building of of Leams, and to see that the beams are property inserted in the’ walls. Coroner.—Q. Is there a law relative to the inserting of timbers! A. Liere is not, except that, as I said before, they are not to Le placed too nenr flues; they have nothing else to do with the manner of inserting timbers in the walls; the law does not prevent the cutting off of timbers and supporting them by props. vroner.—Q. Who wece the parties who owned the building in 18427 A. Jol €. Hamilton owned the corner, and I think Dr. MeVicar owned the building. Q. Who were the alierations made by ? A. To the best of my knowledge they were made by the party leasing the building, Win. B. Cozzens; the , hall partition was then taken away, as the building’ was ceenpied in the upper part as a dwelling, and the well. hele where the stairs went up was filled up; in erecting buildings for dwelling houses we never put such strong timbers as we would in a building lor a store, and taking away the stairway and hall weakened the strength of the floors; it is not always safe to take out bell par- itions Coroner—Q. Was it safe in this case? A. At that time Ithink it was, for the upper storios were occuyied as parlors by the hotel; the store under- Beath was occupied as a clothing store by the occupants atthe time of the Gre, W. T. Jennings & Co.; the com- pany consisted of Mr. Henry Mendle; witness considered which the store was ‘occupied lately Cargerous, for the least overloading would p: se the whele builéiser to the cellar withont a fire; building had been patched, pieced and altered so tmes that he considered it unsafe, even though should have taken place; at the time of the alteration he was in the employ of James J. Seo't; there were other alterations made at that time by Mr. Cezvens. who had other carpenters inside. The owner also unde some alterations, but conld not say what these alterations consisted of! since the altera- tion he considered the building sufficiently strong to be made a warehorge or a building to hold goods, su doles of cloth; could not say who. the alteration made by but informed since he came into the room th < were mace by Mr. Ketchum and Mr. Frost: the former was the carpenter and tho latter the mason; th tof the building had the appearance of being # geod snd substantial one, except that it was not fastened to anyof the other side walls; it was sixteen inches thick to the second story, above that twelve inches; the front well should have been tied in or anchored with the walls; it was built up between them without“any fastening whatever, except mortar; the way he judged that there were no anchors was, that they would have remained in the side walls, or have shown some appear ance of having been torn out; was not present at the fire. Juror. Did you ever hear any complaint made against the building? A. Tean’t 8 iy tThave; the front had an appear- netical man. building made another story higher tered it? ance to ce Juror—V before er | a. After; there are several other buildings in this city jue ap upenfe ns t one; there is one at the corner of | Broadway end Park place: do not think that any buildings originally erected for dwellings are safe for store pur- pores: there is a building formerly occupied as Rath- bun’s Hotel, in which, I understand, a safe of 2.800 a8 been placed, and if that buiding does take safe will come down from floor to floor; the zara whole was not safe and calculated for the for which it was used; ho had been engaged in siness for the last twenty years, avd he had never seen sueh 2 bad case as thatof the building in question; he could, however, point out a dozen buildings quite as dangerous #8 the cne in question, some of which have been reperted a8 dangerous by the Fire Wardens: there is no fire law that can reach a buildi r it has been erected en months; after t netion has hi to be issued from one of the court) agai the building asanuissnce; a large number of buildings have been reported by the Fire Wardens as dangerous, but no no- tice was taken of it by the Common Council; witness heard the last annual report of the Fire Wardens read, un’ many buildings of this character were spoken of, and the places so spoken of were designated. derer—Q When a Fire Warden discovers a building unsafe, does he report to the Common Council? | 4. No; the Fize Wardens report once a year to the Common Couneil; but just as soon as they find an un- ke the Chief Engineer aware of it; of tho Common Coun re showed to © any oi her course when a report is made, than ordering it to be printed. Jvrer—C. Do you think that twelve fire wardens can perform the duties allo(ted to them in a proper manner? A. sir; [think thatthe present number of men imsoftelent. When they take into consideration the great number of buildings erected, it would take two mn, at least, to attend to each ward. The salary of the fre war year, and is insufi poy then y r duties properly no’ expected that these twelve men should give undi attention to their duty. Witnees had been a fire wardea when the lew made it binding upon the Assistant Engi- neers to perform the duties of that office. The law, ever, was altered, and was only in force for one year, not being found to work well. It being now about 1% o’clock, the Coroner adjourned he inquest until 10 o'clock this morning, out of respect oone of the vietimsof the Ite catastrophe, John B. O'Donnell, whose funeral was to take place at 2 o'clock. | FUNERALS OF THE VICTIMS. FUNERAL OF JONN AUBICK KEYSER—THE CEREMO- NIES IN SAINT JAMES’ CHURCH. The remains of this lamented young man were re- moved from the residence of his parents, in Houston street, yesterday afternocm, and eonveyed to the Saint James’ (Lutheran) church, in Mulberry street, where the coffin was placed on a bier standing immediately in front of the reading desk. The coffin was very rich, and surmounted with the usual breastplate, inscribed with the name and age of the deceased. Upon the lid lay a garland of white flowers. In the pews fronting the coffin eat the parents, bro- thers, sisters and immediate relatives of the deceased, and at thrce o'clock every other seat in the body of the church was filled with ladies and gentlemen, who formed a very large, respectable and sincerely sympathizing congregation. The members of Gity Hose Company No. 8 were placed at the foot of the cofin, They were dressed in deep mourning, and wore their badges shrouded with crape. One bore the fire cap of Keyser, which was also covered with black silk crape. As the people entered the church, they walked up the right aisle, and took a last look at the swollen—but not disfigured—countenance of their departed friend. At half past three o'clock, the Rey. Dr. Brice and Rev. Mr. Schalek, accompanied by the pall bearers, came from the vestry, when the choir gave forth a requiem hymn. Rey. Mr. Schalk ascended the reading desk and offered up a prayer, after which the 4434 Psalm was chaunted. ‘The reverend gentleman then took for his text the words of our Saviour in the garden of Gethsemane, when he said :— Father, if ft be possible, let this cup pass from me; butimmediately after added, “Not my will, but thine be done.” The reverend gentleman from this preached a sermon full of consolation, exhorting all to drink the cuy—though bitter—with patience, because it is presented by a loving God. At the conclusion he gave prayer; after which the coffin was conveyed from the church by eight pall bearers, and taken to the family vault in ihe cemetery at Second street. Mr. Keyser was a bookkeeper in the office of Messrs. Ockershausen, sugar refiners, who closed their establish- ment yesterday afternoon so that those in their employ might have an opportunity of paying their last tribute of reepect to his memory, Their appearance at the funera! in a body produced much impression and feeling. FUNERAL OF MICHAEL FLYNN. The funcral of Michael Flynn, one of the sufferers by the Prondway calemity, took place yesterday, at 1P. M., from his father’s residence, No. 53 Walker street. A large number of friends and relatives assembled at the hour appointed, to pay a last sad tribute to the memory of the deccased, and @ train of ten mourning coaches were in attendance, waiting to accompany the body to its final resting place, in Calvary Cemetery. Many mem- bers of the Whitehall Benevolent Association joined in the procession shortly after leaving the house, and gave it quitean imposing appearance. One of the most inter- esting features of the occasion was the presence of a large number of the juvenile friends of the deceased, youths, whose ages ranged between fifteen and eighteen years, who joined in the sad ceremonies of the occasion. The funeral procession passed through Walker street to Broadway, and thence over the ferry to Williamsburg, where the remains of the deceased were interred. FUNERAL OF ANDREW C. SCHENCK. The obsequies of this unfortunate young man were per- formed yesterday afternoon at the residence of his bro- ther, William R. Schenck, Jr., No. 79 West Thirteenth street. It will be remembered that poor Schenck was ta- ken from the ruins ina mangled condition, and removed to the dead house of the City Hospital, where he lay till the Coroner granted his friends permission to remove the body. Young Schenck was a member of Hook and Lad- ther firemen. A very large company assembled yestorday to perform the last sad duties to the deceased. Themem- bers of his fire company were out in full, together with the members of the second company of the National * the name of its occupant, time of his birth, death, and ‘ age, (24 years and 6 months,) upon a heavy silver plate, was placed in the hearse, and taken to Greeuwood Ceme- tery, followed by a long train of carriages filed with usonrncrs.

In the great Joss whieh his family have sustained, the thought of this fact will serve in some degrce to alleviate the deep grief into which they, along with #0 many othera, have been plunged by the terrible catastrophe of Tuesday night. FUNERAL OF GRORGE REINHARD. ‘The remains of George Reinhard, another of the victims of the late catastrophe, were interred yesterday in New York Bay Cemetery, to which they were followed by @ large concourse of his friends, among whom were the members of Engine Company No. 11, to which he be- longed.

Yours, truly, A’ FIRESTAN. Interesting about the Wards in Kentucky. (Correspondence of the Louisville Courier.) EcranermowN, April 24, 1854, Col. Caldwell, one of the counsel for the defenoe, left for home yesterday. He was the first attorney employ- ed; bis reputation as an atsle lawyer is very wide-spread | thoughout the interior of the State, and his somewhat brilliant career as a member of Congress and an officer im Mexico renders him a man of note. It is very reasonable, then, that the popular miad should be more anxious to hear a gentleman whose fa:ni- ly is to some extent national, in preference to one who has heretotore had no opportunity of distinguishing him- self outside of a local aphere. Capt. Tom Marshall also took his departure yesterday. ‘The appearance of Matt. Ward during the speeches on Saturday was that of an intensely excited listener. He would frequently rise from his seat, and, with an eager look, gaze upon the speaker, often moving his lips and’ twitching his features from’great and overpowering ner- vousness. His accommodations in jail are said able and plain, with a studious avoidance of everything elegant or luxurious. Tue county prison contains but one room, and that, previous to the reception of the Wards, ‘was divided into two by a wooden partition, : In one of these Robert J. Ward, Jr., is confined, and the other is allotted to Matt. Ward and his wife. A rag earpet covers the floor, while the furniture consists of ded in each, with several split-botiom chairs, and a few shelves for books and medicines. Matt. Ward’s chief employment in confinement (said to be by those who have visited him) is that of whittling. Before leaving Louisy up and tied into bundles, bringing them along with hits Since his arrival here he has whittled up at least a cart- load of wood. ‘The jury is closely confined at night and during tho re- cess of court, under the watch of one of the sheriffs. It is a matier of common talk here that the neighbors of one of the jurors say that he had frequently expressed an opinion that if the jury hangs he shall be drammed out cf the county. Mir. Harris is speaking for the prosecution this morn- to be very comfort- ing with Michael Flynn, whose body was found lying be- | ing. He will be followed by Gov. Helm for the defence. side him. All who knew him bear testimony tg his frank and generous nature, while the mann his death is the etrongest evidence that can be given of his intrepidity and self devotion. His family have lost in him an affectionate brother anda devoted son, and his acquaintances will long remember him as a generous and warm-hearted friend.

CARDS. New Yor er, Fs srr, eq. — —iihe late serious fire in Broadway, where so many brave and noble men met with their death, is matter that should be remembered feelingly by ev citizen, and not be allowed to pasa away asa nine days’ wonder. It should particularly interest every merchant and business mon, as the brave fireman, without expec- tation of reward, willingly risks his life in the saving of property. We therefore suggest that the New. York merchants (who are ever willing to pay tribute to any distinguished forcigner,) now show their liberality ina laudable way, and raise a splendid monument to th: memory of the unfortunate men who lost their lives at that fire. We chcerfully place one hundred dollars to- wards a fund to be raised for this purpose by the mer- chants of New York. Respeetfully you DRUMGOLD & PROCH, 120 Fulton street. TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD. ‘The undersigned are desirous of correcting the erro- neous statements that have appeared in the newspapers, that the falling of the rear walls of their store, at the time of the fire on Tuesday night last, was caused by the immense weight of a large iron safe that was in the fourth story of the rear building of their store. There were but two iron safes in their store at the time of the fire, one of which, weighing about nine hundred pounds, was in the first story of said rear building; the other, weighing upwards of twenty-five hundred pounds, was in the basement. The building was not constructed by us, and we were merely cecupants of the same. We return our thanks to the firemen for their untiring perseverance and daring intrepidity in attempting to save our property (with others) from the devouring ele- ment; and at the sam ie sincerely condole with the relatives and friends of Those who by this melancholy occurrence have lost their lives.

SUICIDE OF A GERMAN MERCHANT BY SHOOTING HIM- SELF WITH A PISTOL. On Wednesday last Coroner Gamble vas called to hold an inquest at No. 62 Bond street, on the body of Edward Christ, of the firm of Spies, Christ & Co., importers, No. €8 Broad street, who committed suicide the afternoon previous, by shooting himself through the heal with a pistol. The deceased had recently returned from Europe, and was a passenger on board the steamship Hamb atthe time she was wrecked; and on his arrival in this city his friends discovered symptoms of insanity, and preparations were made by them to send him to the Lu- patie Asylum. This fact coming to the knowlecge of the deceased, is supposed to have been the immediate cause of his self destruction. The evidence taken before the | Coroner was in apbstance as follows:— Elizabeth Gardner sworn, suid—I reside nt No. 52 Rond street; (hh ared occupied aroom in our house for about four month jaiged of iL health and w that “he would he bette sicians 9 their a pistol, and _seon deceased, and there found hi ings on thy or with a pistcl lying partially im; 1 gave an’alaria, and other persons came, but he was then dead.

There is no doubt of the fact that nezotiations are now on foot, with every reasonable prospect of success, for the formal recognition by Great Britain of the prin: ciple that Daligerent property shall be protected by a neutral fisg, and that neutral property shall be safe, even under the ecemy’s flag. The Queen’s prociamation does not admit the general principle; it merely declares that she will act upon ft for the present. Now is the proper time to obtain the general recozni- tion of the principle, not by a treaty, a3 Portugal chased it once by mostimportant commercial concessions, but by a perfect, understanding with all other maritime powers. TLe United States have taken t¥e lead in regard to it, and now is the time for France, Sweden, Denmark, Prus+ia, Holland, Sardinia, Belgium and Naples, to come in, and change that which England concedes “for the present” into a permanent, fixed law, for the guidance of all civilized nations. In doing this, the United States will do in regard {o England what Cromwell once did in regard to Holland. ‘The nava! power of the Dutch was then preponderat- | ing in Europe, and for this reason the Protector consti- | tuted himelf the champion of the rights of neutrals; but when England herself became mistress of the sea, she became as aggressive as the Dutch had been before her, and commenced plundering ships on the high seas. The championship of the rights of neutrals now devolves urpen the United States; but it is not to be secured by treaty with England, but by @ perfect understanding with all other maritime powers, which shall force Eng- land {o recognise the principle in its fullest latitude, now and forever.
