In comparing the Vi EcrDapps with the many adulterated aud deleterious ; liquors of the resent time, the proprietor makes many | truthfulromarks, from which we make a fey extracts:— “The adulteration of distilled and fermented liquors, and the excessive use of the impure and delete- rious fivids thus produced, have unquostionably gene- rated a greater amount of demoralization, misery, and discase, than any other known cause. It would be well if the immediate and neces-ory result of using, either as a beverage or a medicine, the pernicious compounds commonly sold as genuine brandies, gins, wines, &c. | were better understood. Two thirds of the drunkenness which cores society is attributable to the nature of the stimulants purchased from unscrupulous dealers, Adulterated liquor begets an insatiable and depraved ‘thirst for alcoholic drinks in every human being who | imbibes it. Itis intended todo so by those who sell it. They profit doubly by the wicked tion; first, by obtaining a good price fora cheap and unwholesome article; and secondly, through the large demand for it, which its thirst-creating property induces. Pure, wholesome liquor, on the other hand, possesses a satis: fying quality. Avery moderate quantity sutices. It soothes the item, instead of exciting that fierce and fiery craving for deffusive stimulants, which onl, ed applications to the bottle can appease. An here it may be queted, as the opinion of many eminent chemists and physicians, that the rapid growth of inebriety ia the tes, Uni ‘has been mainly caused by the general = of adulteration practised of late years both in rope and in this country. In too many instances the bran ., imported into the United States, Ns , &e. have been tampered with abroud—in many cases they are re-dectored here—and they receive the finishing wae from pe se retailer. nein Bitabelt i e present jee of brandy and other liquors in Furope, has heer easeuen powerful impetus td the dusiness of deterioration, so that it is now more dificult than it ever was before to procure these articles genuine. Every practical chemist knows that an acrid and poi- | -#onous ingredient, known as fusel oil, forms a constitu- ofall inferior Hyuors. Now this oil, which ch deplorable effects tupon the stomach and — of the habitual drunkard, and is, in proximate cause of mania a potu, para- ive and death, is not a compotent part of ‘hiedam jomatic Schaapps.

LOSS ABOUT $75,000, &., &eo., &o, Yesterday morning, between 7 and 68 o'clock, w fire was discovered in the laundry situated in the basement story of Judson’s Hotel, No. 61 Broadway. The fire was first observed by ono of the waiters, named Thomas Oakes, and the alarm jmmediately given throughout the house. The smoke and flame spread so rapidly that the servants onthe lower floor were unable to save any of | their tranks or clothing. From the laundry the fames communicated with the staircase, and ascended so rapidly that the boarders above had barely time given them to escape. ‘The Hall bell promptly sounded the alarm for the Seventh district, aff@ the firemen turned out in full force. The Chief of Police, with a reserved corps, was on the ground, all energetic in their efforts to save property and rescue the inmates of the house. At the time of the fire many of the ladies were asleep in their rooms, and were compelled to fly, some of them only half dressed. The bedding and furniture of the hotel, together with the bipgage of the boarders, were thrown in great quan- titres out of the windows on Trinity place. About 180 guests were stopping at the hotel at the time of its de- struction, y A few miuutes past nine the fire spread from the base- ment to the sixth story, and tie men upon tho ladders left the burning building, unable to save any more of the furniture and effects, The firemen continued to throw streams of water into the mass of fire, and also upon the adjoining buildings, which were in danger. Adams & Co.'s express office, next door to the hotel, was slightly injured by water. At eleven o'clock the interior of the hotel was nearly consumed, and the beams fell with a tremendous crash. Thn firemen on Adams’ house pushed down the hotel walls on Trinity place, with Indders, to prevent them falling into the street upon the crowd. The buildings on the opposite side of Trinity place became heated and scorched by the fire, and required to be kept constantly wet, to prevent the spread of the conflagration, At this time the efforts of the firemen were to save the adjoining buildings. On. the north side of the hotel was the large free stone block on the corner of Broadway and Rector street, which was occupicd, next to the burning building by Messrs. “Hoyt, Tillinghast & Co., commission ierchants, No. 63, and Messrs, McCurdy, Aldrich & Spencer, No. 65, and Messrs. Ide, Carpenter & Co., No. 67. This block is separated from the hotel by & narrow passage, about four feet in width, which, opening on Trinity place, reaches up nearly to Broadway. Anumber of windows from the hotel opened on this passage, and the flames poured through them so that the entire space was one torrent of flame, playing upon the walls of the block Nos. 63 to 67, ‘This passage was so situated as to be inaccessible to the exertions of the fire companies, and threatened the destruction of the block of stores in consequence. A | portion of the wall of Judson’s fell over on the dome of the rear office of Messrs. Adams & Co., causing con- siderable damage. Over Adams & Co., the upper stories are ocenpied by J.C. How & Co., dry goods jobbers, considerably damaged from smoke and water. ‘They are fully inéured. By twelve o’cldck the fire had done its woast, and on the site of the hotel was a pile of smoking ruins. The rear wall was pushed down, falling outward into Trinity place. With this wall came down the rest of the build- ing, excepting the front wall on Broadway, whieh is yet standing. When the smoke was first seen in the hotel, an old man, & boarder on the fourth flcor, made his appearance ata window on Trinity place, ina state of the greatest excitement, He was about to leap ont of the window, the hall passages having been cut off by the «moke, when Adams’ men induced him to wait till they brought « lad der, Toa second the ladder was raised against the building and the gentleman extricated from his per Three or four ether boarders were also resened by rame means. During the fire, one of the boarders of the house was ina state of excitement, trying to find some one to enter the building and save his trunk, which he said contained $6,000 in gold. He offered a reward of $1,000 to any one who would volunteer to save bis treasures. None were willing to run the risk, and the money was buried beneath the ruins. Me. W. B. Asten, book-keeper, with E. H. Arnold, of Teaver street, was slightly injured at the fire. We heard of ho other accident, It was rumored thht a female yas pe | perished in the flames; but from all we could ascertain, this was not so. At the commencement of the fire, Adams & Co., oceve pying the building adjoining, No, 69, iu.mediately.set their men to work carting off their effects, Almost every- thing had been taken from their offices when their pre- misés were pronounced out of danger. The basement of the hotel was occupied by Mr. Hardy asa hair dressing and bathing saloon, who purchased the premises only a short time since of Mr. Phalon, the former proprietor. INSURANCE, Judron’s Hotel was for many years kept by Mr. Jad- aon, the preseat proprietor of the New York Hotel, in Broadway, and the,Brevoort House on the Fifth avenue. ‘The successors of Me. Judson, in his old hotel, and the proprictors at the time of its destruction, were John and James O'Grady. ‘The building was owned by Harris Stephons, Exq., of Montreal, and is insured for $25,000 in. the offices of the following named companies N.Y. Fire & Marine $2,500 Manhattan. 92,400 Howard. 4,950 Union Mutual. 2,400 Knickerbocker 2,500 Firemen’s cove §=6828,000 Equitable... 2,950 City.. + 2,500 Messrs. O'Grady had an insurguce upon their furniture to the amount of $43,000, in various offices in this city and elsewhere. The loss of the boarders could not be correctly ascer- tained, but will no deubt amount to about $20,000. ‘The servants, about thirty in number, lost most of their clothing, and had to take shelter in the First wari station house. Some of the servant girls were the last to remain in the building, and had to be rescued from the balcony and front windows by means of ladders. One poor girl, we understand, lost her earnings of many years past, amounting to $600. The following statements in regard to the origin of the fire were made yesterday afternoon, before Mr. Alfred F. Baker, the energetic Fire Marshal. Mary Burk.—I was one of the waiters in the hotel; I was cutting bread in the servants’ hall when the alarm was given; I ran out towards the stairway leading up by the laundry, when I saw a thick smoke between the laundry door and the stairway; I did not see any flame, but hurried up stairs; I had not time to save any of my clothing, although I made an attempt to get my trunk. Hannah Pfendergast.—I was down in the lower end of | the girls’ cellar about half-past seven, sewing, when my sister alarmed me by her cries; I saw smoke and fire in the steam room, issuing from among the frames where the clothes are hurg to dr: ne of us went into the smoking room to in, But it was seemingly unheeded; we thoug -o save our clothes and tranks, which were below where we slept, but this was impos. siblo; the servants’ all was over the steam room, and was the first to catch fire, then the dining room, which is over it. Thomas Oakes.—I was one of the waiters in Judson’s Hotel; Fhad gone down stairs to got rome enkes, between seven and eight o'clock inthe morning, when another waiter calfed to me and said there was fire in the house; I Immediately ran into the hall towards the laundry or drying room, and saw a large quantity of emoke and flame rushing out of the room. Iran up stairs and gave the alarm, In this laundry room is a large fur- nace, in which a very hot fire is generally kept. From this furnace a pipe extends within five or six inches of the ceiling, which I have many times reon red hot. 1 think the fire came from this overheated pipe. Pat Cor- bet was the man who first told me about the fire The chambermaid of the upper story sald—I was up stairs in my own bedroom when the alarm came. Iran who was in bed at the time; and also five or atx other lodgers on the same floor. Such were the crowd and { | andealled the bookkeeper, who alept on that floor, and | | | smoke that I could not escape down stairs, so I get upon | the roof, ad thence away by Messrs. Hoyt’s premises. Tlost all Ibs « in clothes, and I know that all my fellow maid servants a tin the same predicament. Jobn Reddingto:, of 95 Mulberry street, said—I was in the dining room on the level of Broadway, at eight o'clock, when I was alarmed by cries of fire. There were about a dozen gentlemen present, some of them lodging in the hotel. I had to go down stairs for my things, and it was with difieulty T had time to accomplish it. I | tried to save the clothes of the servant girls, and to drag them up from the cellar to the best of my ability. The fire called into Broadway thousands of spectators, who, during the forenoon, completely blocked up the street. It was very fortunate that the conflagration happened in the day time; had it taken place at night many lives perhaps would have been lost. Marine Affatrs.
