So longas these artists continue to attract full houses with comparatively old but always favorite pieses, {t seems like throwing money ‘away when they pay it for pew ones; unless they are of ‘the Best class, they might as well stick to tried and popu- Jar plays.

HOW THE BUSDNESS 18 CONDUCTED, AND WHERE THE ‘WOOD COMES FROM—PINB, HICKORY, OAK, MAPLE, BESOH AND SIRCH—THE WHOLBSALE DEALERS, THE BETAIL DEALERS, THE WOOD SAWYERS, THE CARMEN AND THE PRDLARS—THB FIREWOOD MAB- KBT AND WHERE LOOATED—THE VESSELS EMPLOY- BD IN THE TRADE—ANNUAL SALES TWO MILLIONS AND A HALF—THE CONSUMPTION AND SUPPLY— WHEN WILL THE LATTER BE EXHAUSTED? Brc., BTC. During the past fifteen er twenty years the firewood trade has increased to an almost incredible extent. Un- like many other trades, its growth has not been limited by that of the city, nor has {t increased in proportion with the increase of the population. Twenty years ago the amount sold annually did mot exceed the eum of two hundred thousand dollars, while the yearly sales are now estimated at two millions anda half. These figures, we should state, are based entirely on estimate, as there ‘ere no ether means of ascertaining the amount of the an- nual consumption. Formerly firewood was purchased al- moat exclusively for domestic use, but it is now used in factories, milla and steamboats more than ever, and the great demand for it on railroads has considerably aug- mented the prices. As im the coal trade, the business varies with the season of the year, and is always more lively from the lat of October to the Christmas holidays, at which time our people generally lay in their supply of winter fael. In the months of Februsry and March the trade begins to revive again, and the deslers, the cartmen and the wood sawyers are kept pretty active till about the middie of May, when it falls off again, and gon tinues at the lowest ebb throughout the summer season. ‘The wood market, if we may so call it, is nat confined toany particular locality, but extends along nearly the whole length of the North and Eas: rivers, withia the Hmits of the city. On the North river the wood yards, as they are termed, commence at or near Washington mer- ket, and are to be found at intervals from that point up to between Thirtieth and Fortieth streets, the largest mumber, however, being in the vicinity of Spring. On the East river their extent is a little more confided, beginning at or near Rutgers elip, and terminating about twenty-fifth street. The ‘wood yards” must not be con- founded with the timber yards, as there isa very great difference between them. While the former are situated partly on the piers and partly on the streeis,along the bulk heads, end have not their limits confined by walls, the lat- ter are maicly off the street, and walledia., Thedealers in firewood hire or lease the ground atan sanual rent from the owners and their business is, or rather was, regaiated by an ordinence which has long sicce become obsolete. Tere is no trade, psrhaps, which {s free from imposition, acd it would be ebsurd, therefore to expect that tue word cealers, though as respectable as any other class, are exempt from the charge; but we believe they are smong the mort honest. Still, housekeepers complain comstines that they do not resetve full meacure, and that it is not alweys quite up fo the mark prescrized by the city or- dinance. Acc‘rding to this ordinaves, the load is mes- sured ty stakes on the cart, within © space of two feet five inches by two feet nine, the height to whish the wood is piled being in proportion to f's length. This is the regulation, but it is not always complied with, a4 we bave intimated, nor are there aby means of doing so, unlesa by the passage of a new ordinance. The trade has certainly reached an extent to justify the psceege of eush & law—and we submit the subject as ove deserviog the consideration and attention of our mu- nicipal legislators. The supply 0! fire-wood for the whole city ia obtained by means ot boats, and is brought from New Yurk, Nez Jerney, Conneetic1t, Virginia, and North Carolina. The boats are of all sizes, ranging from two hundred dowa as low aa forty tons. Ther it is calsulated, about two hundred alicgether, and the average value of cachi: es- timated at four thousand coilers. This gives an egere- gate of eight hundred thousani dollars, which we are arsured is rather tinder than over the actual amount. A oonsiderable number of these, however, are not ex- clustvely epgaged in the firewood trade, but during the dull seasons are ccoupied in carrying other kings of freight. It is very rare that the dealers have any pro- prictorehip in the boats, and the wholesale trade, which is confined almost exclusively to their owners, is con- ducted on a ¢ifferent system frqgm -the retail business. The syrtera is, however, Just as simple and as easy understood. The captain, who is not unfre- quently part proprietor, is respcnsible for the payment of the crew, and, in consideration therefor, is allowed to freight one half the vescel for bis own profit. The other halt belongs to the proprietors; and if the osptain be = proprietor in part he is allowed # share in the profits proportionate to his ownership, No matter what msy be the riske incurred by deiays or cther losses, aczord ing to the terms of the agreement he is held responsible for the payment cf his men. He also sells the wood to the retail dealers, lantirg itat the point from which it ia cispoeed of by tham to the consumers. Ten or fifteen years ego it was the practice to sell the wood from the deck of the vessel by retail; but the business bas increas- ed to such anextent that the boats find the wholesale trade more profitable, and have now almost wholly abandoned the retail businers. The wood is sold at wholesale by the cord, each eord consisting of thres loads. It is not, as ageneral thiog, #0 subject to fluctuaticns in the price as cther articles of domestic use; and aa the supply 1s ceidom below the demand, it generally remains at the same rate from month to mon‘h. ‘The greatly increased consumption within the lact fifteen or twenty years bas, an we bave said, necessarily led to an increase in the prise. Tae following are the rates at which firewood is sold at present:— Br 1K Caco. Per Cord. Osk firewood. to $5 50 Hickory firewood. Pine Brewood. Our principal supply of pine comes from Virginis and South Carolina, and is more extensively used than any other Cescripiion. In fact, we bave been told that the consumption of pine in thie clty exeeeds more than double the amount of all other kinds. It is used chiefly for firewood, as it is muoh easier to kindle than other wood, and is also in greater demand for factories, mills, steamboats and railzoads than any other: While it 1s euperior to oak, hickory and ather hard wood for lighting fires, it is mferior to there, in the opirion of the economical housekeeper, on account of its burning more rapidly. It mskes, however, a pleasant, cheerful fire, end from its resinous quakty is said to give out more heat. A porticn of the pine sent to the New York market comes from New Jerrey, but it is 40 small that it is hardly deserving even of mention. Hicgory is, es may be seen from the foregoing table, the highest {n price, and comes under the denomination of hard wocd. It is @ particular favorite with eoonomi- cal hoveekeepers, on account of its “lasting”? qua- lities, and next to pize is more extensively used than any other kind of firewood. It is pro- cured principally from this State and New Jersey, and occasionally we get a supply from Connecticut. A large proportion of our supply comes by the way of the Reritan canal. Hickory has been known during s severe winter season, when there was a deficiency, to bring $3% a load. Oak fa not #0 abundant {n our market, and is, we be- lieve, generally corsitered inferior to hickory. It comes aleo from this State, Connecticut, and New Jersey. Boeeh, birch, and maple are regarded by some as superior to hiekory to the amount of from two to four shillings fa the cord. They seldom, however, come separate, bat are mixed up with hickory. The retail dealers on the North and East rivers num- ber about one bundred, and each of these furnishes em- ployment, or is at least the means of giving employmen to six cartmen and six woodsawyers. If to these we add the captains of the vessela engaged in carrying wood to New York, and a crew of five to each, we have a total o two thousand five hundred persons who are directly de- pendent on the trade in this city. In addition to these, there are a large number of grocers in the poorer losalf- ties, who sei] frewood in atill smaller quantities then the dealers along the rivers, so sa to bring it within the reach of those who are unable to buy @ load ata time, By these the wood is chopped up and split, after which it is tied in small bundles, and sold at from sixpence to a shilling s bundle, Quite # flourishing little business has also been eteablished by wood pedlars within the last four or five years, and in some quarters it is now a oom- mon right to see little boys and girls bearing on their heads small hamper baskets, surmounted by s pyramid of firewood, almost os tall a6 themrclves. What the poor bave to pay for @ load of wood in this form, and sold ia this wey, or how much the poor little pedlars realize, we cannot may. Weare safe in saying, however, that the peor pay more than double the amount for which it is sold by the first retailer, and for which those who are lar better able to pay higher price cam purchase it, ‘The wootsawyers obtain a rather precarious aubsis- tence from thetr business, and, @xoept at certain seasons, are pot 90 weil paid aa common Jaborers. There are very few, iniee?, who can procure steady employment @ epytbing who will remain at auch ill.requited Jabor when there is plenty of other work. An expert hand will ear, ‘with fui! employmen’, as much as eight or nine dollars a week, but there are months when he does not realise two dol'ars. Many of the woodsawyers—indeed, the majo- rity of them—are poor, broken-down, superannuated ls- borers, who are unable to craw! ladder or shoulder ® hod, and who take to this as the last resort to procure saubsistence. They take up their station by the wood" pile, emxiously looking out for customers, and where there are six orseven to the one pile, or the one yard we should say, they take the customers in rotation. This prevents {ll feeling and jealousy on the part of apy. They generally get three or four shillings @ load for sawing, and even then although 1 1s sometymes not more than one haif the pro- fits realized by the dealer, they are occasionally obliged to reduee their prices to conform with those rigid rules of domestic economy whieh always find the poor the best mubjeota to practice upon. ‘The chances of the wood sawyer, poor as they are, have been reduced considerably by the application of steam to his branch of the business. Companies have deen started within the past eighteen months, called Kindling-wocd Associations, which sav, cut up and fur- nish the wood in boxes, ready for use, without farther trouble. These, we understand, are doing a thriving bu- siness, elthough serious complaints are mace against aome that they do mot give full measure. The number of cartmen who are employed in carting wood about the city is estimated at six hundred, but as it does not furnish them with suffisient work, they cept any odd jobs which they may be #0 fortunate as to get. Their usual rate for carting a load ot wood is two shillings, but this ts regu'ated by the disiance—although it seldom exceeds that amount. The amount of capital which they have invested in the business, in the form of carts and horses, {s about ten thousand dollars, which is held in shares of one hundred dollars cash—the ostimat- ed value of each horse and cart. This, added to the value of the vessels employed in bricging firewood te New York, makes a total of eight hunired end ten thousand dollars. How mush more the amount would be inereased by the addition of the various litte investments of the itinerant javenile retailers it would be a difficult matier to calculate, Tao majerity— and a large majority, too—of the cartmen own the horse and cart they drive, but some are employed by the deal- ersat a reguiar salary.

The change in the temperature and the direction of the wind showed that some violent rain storm must have taken place not far from the city. Yesterday nooa the ther- mometer marked 76 ¢cegrees, and last night at ten o'clock the mercury had fallen to 49 degress—ae difference ot 39 cegrees in a little over thirty hours— e change that must affect tte weak and sickly most un- favorably. There was @ young hurricane blowing from the west during the cay, and tho Kn ste wrapped ine cicnd of dust so dense that @ pedostrian on one rite of the streets could scarcely see the houses on the other side. The streets were comparatively desorted, and the churones siimly attended; but then there is # fund of pious conso- Jation im the thought thet the church members could “remember they were dust” on such # day, without be. told 6o by the ministers. e'earn that a very viclent storm visited central New York on Saturday. Fulton county was the scone of terrible havoc. oxused by & hail storm the most extraor- Ginary that ever fell upon that distrios of country. It commenced tothuncer and light: iog about 1 P.

M., at the City Hall, betore the Comzittee on Streets, with reference to opening Laurens street through to Fourth street, and then regulating @ thoroughfare through Washington square to the Fifth avenue. The counter proposition to the above, for the effectual relief of Broadway, and to avoid the derecration inc!dent upon the conversion of the Fifth avenue into # atreet ot stores, is the following, viz: to widen La street for the cistance of two bi as far as Broome street, and then to open a street direct! acrors to the jono'ion of Oarmine street and the Sixt! avenue, thus affording Ce ni aver ninety- five feet in width from Barclay street to the Harlem river. This plan also will save Washington und from being destroyed. It could not be well e from that part of the city, whore it is a very favorite resort for the childrep of tte poor. Mapa of these plans can be seen at the City Hall. The relief of Broadway below Barclay street should alzo be taken Into consideration by the same committee, as the press of vehicular travel is great- eat between the Park Wall street.

The accused were arrested at the time of the affray, and will now be brought before the Coroner on charge of man- slaughter. The deceased, as will be remembered, re- ceived several stabs in the breast, ore of which pene- trated to the lungs. Every medical aid was rendered the uniortunate man, but he gradually Lngsred until yerter- day morning, when he breathed his last.

The great nuwber of these letters precludes the possibility of separate answers to them all. In some instances I have received two or three from the same parties, urging early arswers, co that they may take immediate aot on the sdvice T might give them.
