The wind was blowing from the northwest, aad tie flames, which soon gushed from every doorand wiudow, (the latter were not enclosed by shutters,) were wafted across Cherry street, setting the buildings on fire. At the same time the dwetlings on Eighth street, above Cherry, immediately opposite the factory, toox fire, and they were all more or less damage! When the firemen reached the ground it was obvious that ho eiforts could save the factory, and their exertions were applied to revent the spreeding of the flames. Before five o'clock Bre entire structure of Messrs. G. & B. was completely enveloped tn flames, creating a very great light, and sending into the air cloudsof flakes and cinders, which ‘were carried by the wind to a great distance from the scene of the conflagration.

To presume it prac- ticable involves the violent Suppoeiee: thatall the hold- ers of the spurious stock would refrain from calling for dividends.

As to the danger in running trains at the present he still despaired of its reduction to the rate proposed. He.thought that if | they confined themselves to thirty, instead of allowing | themselves to be driven up to forty, they would accom- plisn all that was necessary and desirable. The com- panies ought to be paid a higher rate than that now | charged, and the Committee ought to recommend a greater discrimination in the prices between express subsequently | rate, although he admitted it, and accommodation trains. Judge H. Presented the following resolution:— Resolved, That this meeting recommend the adoption | of higher rates of fare on express passenger trains, cor- responding in some degree to the increased cost of ‘such trains, and that while the amount of additional charge might reasonably vary according to the degree of speed adopted and accommodation and benefits afforded, we | consider 20 or 25 per cent a reasonable advance for ex- press over accommodation trains as generally run in this country. Mr. HonNer considered it impossible to establish a uai- form rate of fare on account of the different circum- | stances by which each road might be governed. It wae be poet roped to reduce the be — of travel by diminishing the speed. He conclude expressit bimeelt in favor of a 25 mile rate. ears re Mr. Janvis said the charge ought to be increased in proportion to the rate of speed, in consequence of the risk incurred as well as the additional expense. Judge Horkixson hoped that gentlemen woufd under- stand the object for which he presented this resolution, which was to bring out an expression of opinion upon the subject merely. He was not, therefore, very tenacious of his proposition, and was perfectly willing that it should be modified to suit the views of thdse pre- sent. This meeting could only recommend and make suggestions, and it depended entirely on the board of management of each road to adopt or reject them as the; might deem in accordance with their interests. thought twenty-five miles an hour on an ordinai was as high arate of speed as could be attained with safety. There were parts of the road on which it was necessary to increase this rate, to make up for the delays caused by curves, &c.; and there were also points upon a line at which accommodation ran as fast as express trains. Mr. Gxo. D. Puxtrs took another view of the subject. He considered that in the resolution reference should be made to the benefits which the public derived from ran ning express trains, as well as the loss to the companies, The resolution was -here put to the meeting, and una- nimously adopted, The PRESIDENT read a resolution adopted at the last | meeting, in relation to fuel, and called upon the com- mittee to make their report on the subject. Mr. Hunt said the committee were not prepared to re- port on it at present, The Prestpxnt read the following letter:— Orrice or THR N. & W. R. R. Co., Norwicu, July 25, 1854.

About 12 o’clock on Monday night some burglars broke into the office of Messrs. Cooper & Davis, at the foot of Eighteenth street, East river, for the purpose of robbing the safe. They inserted a quantity of powder in the lock, and touching a match to the same, blew the .lock off, and obtained access to the safe; but their hopes of plunder were doom- ed to be disappointed, as the firm did not deposit money in the safe on this occasion, and nothing was de- whatever to anybody but the owners. A man named Michael Liddy, who was attending a sick horse in the vi- cinity of Messrs. Cooper & Davis’ office, hearing the re- port made by the osion of the powder, had the curi- osity to enter the oflice. Upon his going in the door, one of the burglars rashed out, and ing to stop him, drew outa revolve: twice at him, and then escaped. One of the effect in Liddy’s thigh, wounding him rously.

Thereupon the officers brought him to his house, No. 133 East Bixteenth street, where he remains in a state of great suffering. The wound, although not a fatal wound, will render ly incapable of per formil his daily labor for months to come, The neighbor! was scoured by the polite of the Kighteeath ward some time after the oocurrence, but no clue could be obtained to the perpetrator of this outrage.

BURGLARY AND FORGERY. Officer Hamblin, of the Third ward police, arrested a young man yesterday, named James Henry alias Kenny, on a charge of burglary and forgery. It appears that Henry alias Kenny broke tuto the boot and shoe store of H. L. Jackson, No. 183 Greenwich street, and stole therefrom a lot of ready made boots and shoes, valued at $150, and then sold the property to Mr. Allen, who keeps a store corner of Barclay and Greenwich streets, for $50, alleging at the time of the gale that the goods had been entrustod to him to sell on commissi¢n. With the money thus obtained he proceeded to a vile den of pros- titution, in Church street, and in a few days squandered it allaway. On his arrest, and on being brought before the Scan tatanet (Mr. Jackson), this person charged him with having forged his name, some days previous, for two cases of shoes, on a firm in Maiden lane, which he, it ft id, obtained. On being accused of the fo: he adniitted the crime, but retused to tell what he had done with the goods he obtained. The prisoner was taken before Justice Osbérne, at the Tombs, who com- initted him for trial on the charge of burglary. This hopeful youth is not yet eighteen years of age, and, al- though young in years, he is suspected of having com- mitted several other crimes and misdemeanors. which would, on conviction, be the mcans of sending him to the States prison for 4 number of years. Assault with a Slung-shot.—.4 man named James Drake was arrested yesterday afternoon, on the complaint of Joseph 8. Taylor, of the Eighth avenue, who alleges that on the 29th of November last? he was attacked by two ‘men, one of them the prisoner in question, who knocked him down upon the ground; that Drake, when he was upon the sidewalk, struck him upon the head with a slungshot, producing a severe and hight dangerous wound, accused was brought before Justice Clark, at the Jefferson Market police court, where, in reference to the charge'preferred aga \ him, he aaid be was guilt of the assaults but that he did not strike Mr "Taylor wi aslungehot. “The court held him to bailin the sum of $500 to answer the charge. The Case of Charles Setphani, charged with Grand Larceny and False Pretences.—The examination in the case of Charles Stephani, wherein the accused is charged with obtaining goods and money to the amount of $30,- } 000 from Jacob Ryback, both by false pretences and grand larceny, was continued yesterday before Justice Clark. Nothing further, however, was elicited, other than what we have already published. The case was adjourned until to-day. Complaint Dismissed.—In the case of Henry J. and Samuel F, Ibbotson, accused of having, by false preten- ces and fraudulent representations, obtained the sum ef $40,000 from George M. Chapman, Justice Osborne de- cided to dismiss the complaint, there being, in his opin- ion, nothing on the face of the pa; presented to him ‘whevenpean criminal charge could be established, and accordingly on Monday the accused parties were releas- ed from arrest. Accused of Stealing Corn.—A man named John Me- Niel, was arrested yesterday by Officer Maher, ofthe Fourth ward police, charged with having stolen » quan- tity of corn valued at $50, the property of Capt.
