Atanearly hewrin the wmsyaing crowds of people began®e congregate in | he‘ vicinity ofthe disaster. Some had-come merely ‘rough feclings of-curiosity, but there were many | ‘éMmers who were actuated by farelifferent motives, | ‘Whese were the relativesofthe deceased. For days | @iey ‘had patiently waited, in'the expectation that ‘something would be doze to recover the bodies, ‘wat when the Sabbath dawned andthere was ne fmtimation that any sucheffort was :about being vmgaade they grew desperate and threatening in their v@apect. Mingled with the crowd were many ~women—girls who worked ta the illfated building “and the female friends of the unfertanate girls, It ‘was thought by many of ‘them yesterday morning ‘that work would be commenced, but the day wore ‘on, the crowds increased, and still the ruins were eft undisturbed. Atteno’clock it became neces- wary to detail an extra force of pelice to preserve erder and keep the track of the Fourth Avenue Raiiroad clear. The picture at.the time WAS A STRIKING ONE. ‘The ice and snow covered ruing glistened in the sun, the tall structures frowned down upon thewreck and the people who lined the street gazed with eager curiosity upon the spot which was supposed to contain the seven bodies. The old and gray- Baired mothers, so suddenly bereft of their chief, ‘and, ia some cases, only, support, stood apon the sidewalk the picture of distress and misery, while the brothers and sisters wept aloud in their sore agony. Early in the morning Coroner Herrman, who is to hold the inquest on the bodies when found, con- sulted with Coroner Young as to what steps should be taken in view of the public indignation which had been kindled by the refusal of the vari- ous municipal Boards to make the necessary search. The result of the consultation was that Ooroner Herrman drew up the following document, which he intended to have published :— Conongn’s Orrice, New Yorx, Dec, 29, 1872. To Wuow 1x May Concern — Whereas, I have good reason to believe that there are now lying beneath the ruins of the building °3, 85 and: 87 Contre street, cestroyed fire on the 2th instant, the ies or remains of no less than seven human beings: whereas, the several departments applied tobyme to have ‘the debris removed and the bodies excavated have de- elined for want of authority or funds; and, while I am Bow waiting the decision of the owner of the building as well as the opinion of the District Attorney and Gomptroller Green, all of which eapnot bo obtained be- fere to morrow, I im, however, uftwilling to allow the matter to lay over any longer, even for aday, and there fore give notice that in case ‘no effort be made to-mor- row by the owne r of the property or by any of the de- ents of the city,I shall order the work of excava- to be commenced on Tnesday morning, the Sist inst. G, M. UERRMAN, Coroner, In the meantime, however, the Coroner was fore- stalled in his work. About twelve o’clock JUSTICE DOWLING and Oaptain Kennedy were walking down Centre street. When they had come in front of the ruins the Justice said to the Captain :— “Well, It is a disgrace to the city that no effort is being made to find the bodies.” “1 know it is a disgrace,” said Captain Kennedy; “bat what can I do 7” “Iwill tell you what you will do,” said the Judge. “Put all the available men you can find to work npon the ruins. I will assume the responsibility and give $250 towards paying the men.”’ Overjoyed to be able to do anything to mitigate the anxiety and suspense of the poor people who had daily and hourly visited he station house, Captain Kennedy immediately ut the order of Just jce Dowling into execution. ummoning one or two of his men, he directed them to go around among the Jaborers and tell the latter © report for work at the station house, A line was immediately formed around the dlock and all | the available force in the precinct were put upon auty to keep the space clear. In less than ten | minutes fifty men, with pickaxes and shovels in their hands, presented themselves to the Captain, and, amid a LOUD CHEER FROM THE SPECTATORS, the long-deferred task wes commenced. 1t was at this time precisely half-past twelve. The work to be accomplished was extremely dif. ficult. The Calg beams of the rumed building had | been frozen firm into the places where they had | falion, while the machinery and printing presses were Woven into one solid mass. The beams and brickwork were covered with layers of ice, and the snow, which had become hardened, was as firmiy embedded as a rock. The beants were so treacher~ | ous that it was almost pepoeatie to walk upon them without being precipitaed into @ yawning chasm below, The gas and steam pipes had been érozen into the woodwork, and were so firmly | fixed that they could not be moved. Piles of burned paper, brick and stone Jay thickly around, with here and there fragments of the clothing worn by the girls, who, in their hurry to escape, leit their effects behind, The police, avout forty in number, were in com- mand of Captain Kennedy and Sergeants Looney, Douglass and Miner. With the police were asso- ciated @ number of fremen from engine companies 9 and 31 and hook and ladder company 1. Tue fire- men were in charge of Assistant FNGINRERS BATES AND MONROE. The workingmen were ali natives of the ward and comprised every nationality. A portion of them were put to work to clear away the iron io front of the rains, while the sighting 3 ortion Went on to the top to cut the ice from the beams, While the task was being he ted Morgan Jones came up, and when he Was Informed by Captain Kennedy of the circumstances under which it was being proceeded with he immediately a:lvanced another $250 in addition to that given by Judge Dowling, so that the Captain might have no diMiculty in promptty going on. In twenty min- ‘utes aiter the first shovel had been placed in tee ruins an exclamation from a fireman who was toiling under the beams attracted attention. “I HAVE FOUND & BODY,” he said, “and I think it isa Woman.” The police immediately rashed to the spot, and the fireman was found to be correct. Covered tn ice and snow, and frozen so hard that iteracked when touched by the hand, was the trank of a human being. Were it net that every one was prepared for the sight, mone would suspect that the blackened and shape- 4ea8 form which lay before him was but five days before a young woman in the pride of health ana beauty, The flesh was burned to a crisp. The right jeg was bo tag of from the body, ie left leg was sone from the knee, and the skull was nothing but an empty cavity. The right arm was gone from the elbow down, and on the left arm the bones were burned bare. No trace of features remained, the front part of the head being REDUCED TO A CINDER, - and save for the delicacy of the fragment of the Jet hand that remained and some wires, which comprised part of @ hoop skirt, the sex of the body would not have been ascertained. It was tenderly hited by the policemen and firemen alter the ice- bed in which it was encased had been broken up by axes, When it came im sight of tie people who were congregated at the crossingson Leonard and Worth streets a deep ation Was gpen eed and @ shudder ran through the vast throng. When taken to the edge of the butlding it was placed on a stretcher, over which a quilt was thrown, and from there it was conveyed to the station house. Before being removed Michael Mc- Grath, the brother of one of the victims, rushed over to se if he vould identify the remains, but he could not, and he resumed bis place among the workers. The names of the firemen who found the ‘ody are Martin Cook, assistant enginecr Com. ce No.9; John Dougherty, assistant foreman ‘uek eompany No.1, aud Andrew McGelsey, com- any 31. Fhey deserve great credit for the manner which they worked. While thie. ¢cene was in progress Coroner Herr- man arrived, 9nd, seeing that there waa a body Jonnd, he returned to his office and drew up another paper, Which he gave to Captain Kennedy, The following is a Copy :— Captain Kenwxpy, Sixth Precinct Police ;—~ ving assured myseM that there are buried beneath tho ruins of the Cenwee Sect Lire ihe bodies of veven NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, DECEMBER 30, 1°72-—WwITH SUPPLEMENT, order to put on all the to have the’ noates exhumed. owt of the ond x ine Guede ee ted. the-order and went a 2 ives by every means’ in ‘their FACILITATE THE BUSINESS.

The Internattonals imme- er proceeded to the aforesaid places, but the President could not be found. With a real deter- mination they returned to Police Headquarters, and had an mmterview with Inspector Mcbermott, who plainly told them that he could not do any- thing in the matter. The undaunted radicals then ‘went to the Board of Health, but, meeting with no better success there, they determined to go to the first officer of the metropolis and present their case before him, Accordingly they proceeded to the residence of Mayor Hall, and were kindly re- ceived by that gentleman, The committee biiefy stated their case. ‘the Mayor informed them that he had issued an order to Coroner Herrman to im- the left hand, and then burst into tears, ‘ing, | mediately commence work for the recovery of the in a heartbroken voice, “Oh, that’s my sister, | dead bodies.

The old mau went to rush into the station house, when the son restrained him, hehe | passionatcly, “You shan’t do it. You will not be able to endure the sight.” The oid man insisted on go- ing in, but the son used force to keep him back, and he was finally led away by some friends, A large crowd had Collected around the door in the Meantime, and the young man, breaking through them, freed himself trom the fearful scene. ‘Te female friend of Jeunie who was in the station house at the time of the recognition said that the girl was remarkably pretty. Sne was slight in form and had peculiarly smail arms and wrists, She was @ great favorite with her com- panions, and her untimely death is deeply deplored. When the relatives bad left the station house the remains were covered with @ blanket, to conceal them from the gaze of the curious. Had it not been for the rings the body would never have been recognized, and the police are hoping that the remaining ones, which are still to be found, may be as easy 01 identification. Shortly aiter the work had been commenced WARDEN BRENNAN, of Beilévue Hospital, drove down ina sleigh and offered to render avy assistance in the way 01 send- ing ambulances that layin his power. Mr. Hop- kins, who was foreman for Anderson & Archer, was also upon the ground, He says he has been to wait upon the relatives of the de- ceased by order of his frm, who are willing to incur all the expenses of burial. He is of opin- ion that the bodies will not be found near the fire escape, as he is assured by personal observation that all who were on the escape (forty) were safe} taken down, and he thinks that those whe perishe must have been caught on the burning stairway. About four o’clock in tho aiternoon Assistant Engineer Bates thought that the elevator, which Still stood uj right, would be dangerous when the rabbish would be removed from ita base, and he de- termined to have part of it hauled down. A large Jadder was procured, and a tew firemen mounting it made a rope fast to the middle portion of the elevator. The roofs of the adjoining buildings were at this time covered with spectators, and be- | fore the walls were pulled down Captain Kennedy sent Roundsmen Covert and Dean to drive them oif and apprise the people in the vicinity. When this had been done the whole force of the laborers was concentrated upon the rope, and, aiter one or two terrific hauis, the front portion of the elevaters fell in, scattering the bricks in every direction and raisog @ blinding CLOUD OF SMOKE AND DUST. The end wali of George Middleton’s building was also looking shaky and part of the front wall, and the engineer, to make everything safe, had this pulled down also, There was now no obstruction to the efforts of the workmen, and the business went briskly on, ‘The beams and pipes were rapidly hauled out, aud before darkness came on the roughest portion of the work was done, The work of the day con- cluded @ little after five o'clock, and the work- men were discharged, with orders to re- ort for work aguin at seven o'clock this morning. Thoroughly maimed and fatigued Captain Kenpea aay his men returned to the | station house, ey were covered with dirt, and the hends of many of them were bleeding. Yoo Tuch praise cannot be given to the Captain for the manner in which he has discharged his arduous duties, and it will ever be remembered to his credit, The sergeants and Detective Dolan also greatly exerted themselves, as did every individual Inan, and they will all think that yesterday’s day's work was the hardest which they have done since they entered the force, It is well that the clearing of the ruins com- menced yesterday, otherwise popular indignation would have shown itself in some forcible manner. The brother of the Bevins, who was present, stated that tho working people similarly contem- lated an attack upon the ruins, In this case a collision with the police would have been inevit- able, but recourse to such violent means has been rendered unnecessary by the intervention of Jus- tice Dowling and Morgan Jones. The bitter feelings which the spectators had evinced during the morning were greatly allayed when the work WAS COMMENCED IN EARNEST, Among the friends ot the deceased who weré upon pug ground were the brother and motter of the two Donoho sisters. The brother is a cripple and the mother is an old, tottering, fragshe rgd woman, Her cries could be heard all over the street, and she had finally to be taken hoime by her son. ‘The mother of the gitl McGrath accompanied her son, and was equally loud in her lamentations. She says her son and daughter and herself bave and was in every part of the ruins where it was likely there wouid be a body found, If the remain- ing six have no distinguisning marks in the way of Jewéiry or otherwise about them the task of recognition will be almost impossible, the remains will be so mach burned and Cet ene Yesterday aiternoon Justice Dowling went in search of the Commissioners of CHARITI“S AND CORRKCSION, but found only ene of them, Mr, Owen Rrennan. The Justice suggested that 100 able-bodied men should be taken from the Workhouse on the Island to-day and sent down to aig od the ruius, lodg- ing to be provided for them in the City Prison, As ® reward for their neu when the bodies are found, the Judge said it would be well to discharge them from custody. Mr. Brennan immediately con- sented to the proposition, and to-day the 100 men are to ve sent down and put to work, in addition to the 100 who are aircady employed, exclusive of the police and the firemen. The bu ness wit! now be speedily hurried throngh and the bodies will ali, probably, be found before night.

Weary of worldly vanities, she entered a convent, but did not remain there, Having once more beoome of the earth earthy, she produced romances by scores. The most success- fal and best known werk is “The Four Sergeants ef La Rochelle,” of which 200,000 copies were sold. She was for years the providence of the “penny dreadiul” dealers of Paris. Thomas Keighiley. From England we have a report of the demise of Thomas Keigitley, a careful and laverious and very conscicntious historian, We expired at his residence, Belvedere, near Erith, Kent, in the eighty-second year of his age. Mr. Keightiy was of Ivieh extraction, being a native of Dublin, and educated at Trinity College, Dublin, where he took bis Bachelor’s degree in the Spring of 1808. His original dostination was the Bar, tor which he read during a short. period; but circumstances arose which altered his course of life and he resolved to abandon the labors of the law for those of literature. With this view he went to London when about twenty-five years of age, and joined the late Mr. Croiton Croker in the production of his “Fairy Legen:s of the South of Ireland,” at the same time filling his leisure hours by contributions to periodical literature, To most of the present generation his name will be familiar as the author of several usetul and able school books, more especially his histories of Rome, Greece and England, and his “Outiines of History,’ which formed one of the early volumea of Br. Lardner’s Cabinet Cyclopwdia. He also edited the “Fasti of Ovid,” and compiled a work which enjeyed popularity in its day, ‘Fairy Mythology Besides his classical works, Mr. Keightley was known as the translator of at least one work from the Dutch, and as the editor of Milton’s Poems and of the’ plays of Shakspeare, his edition of the lat- ter having appeared about elgut years ago. Mr. Keightley was for the last few years of his long lle in receipt of a literary pension from the English government. Thomas Combe. Acommunication dated in Oxford University, England, eays:—I regret to announce the sudden death of Hr, Thomas Combe, the well known Uni- versity printer, who was found dead in his bed at his residence at Woolvercot, Mr. Combe was a gentiemun much respected throughout the Uni- Versily and city, in the latter of which he was well known by his acts of charity. His connection with ths University press is of a long date, and in con- sideration of his eminent services the University a few years since conferred upon him the honorary degree of Master of Arts. A. J. Smith, Captain A. J. Smith, an aged and celebrated Australasian colonist and explorer, has just died in Castlemaine, near Bendigo, in the colony, He went out to Tasmania with Sir John Franklin, in the Australian Expedition, and eventually made a temporary sojourn in that island, where he had charge of the Hobart Town Obrervatory. He was also with the irebus and Terror in the Arctic Ex- edition. As Lieutenant A. J. Smith, Royal Navy, he was among the early government oilictals on the Castlemaine gold field as Warden and Chinese rotector, and never had about him any of the bad odor Which attached to the officials’ of those troublesome days. Ie was a well-fortuned man, and inv d in property in the town and home- stead at Langley. Changes were made, which re- suited in his receiving notice that he was removed to another part of the colony, and he therefore resigned. He contested an election at Castlemaine with Dr, Macadam, and polled the largest number of votes ever polled by any candidate, and on re- tiring from political Itie withdrew to his home at Langley. Latterly he suffered from internal dis- ease, which developed into atfection of the heart and poterg chagts of the lungs, to which he suc- cumbed, aus at e007 Neil Jamieson.

From London we have news of the occurrence of the death oi iiwin Norris, the antiquerian, and author of the “Cuneiform (Assyrian) Dictionary.’” He was seventy-seven years of age, and possessed his mental activity tothe last. Not only did he, together with Sir Henry Rawlinson, edit, under immense diffteulties, the first two volumes of the great “Corpus Ins¢riptionum of Assyrian and Baby- Jonian Cunciform Monuments” to the British Mu- scum and elsewhere—cach consisting of no fewer than seventy folio plates—but he was also the firet who undertook, single-handed, the herculean work of compiting, out of those thousands of small frag. ee ere Me Grerasdmena | ae Britt Museum receptaciey, the Bret Assyrian dictionary.

' ‘The Froude and Burke. controversy awakened a deep feeling among Amerieans touching the real condition of Ireland. So profound was this ia- terest that the appearance ef the English his- torian’s work on ‘The English im Ireland in the Eighteenth Century,” the Orst volume of which has just been published by Scribner & Co., simultane- ous with Father Burke’s lectures, which P, M. Haverty publishés under the title of “Ireland's Case Stated,” will be weleome to many readers who desire to look into the question at their eisure, “The Clubs of Now York,” by Francis Gerry Fair- ficld, publishea by Henry L, Hinton, ts a very handsome volume of circumecribed interest, The title of the work indicates ite range. and quality, ‘What the author professes to tell is very well told.

Without pretending to treat these subjects with the thoroughness which Professor Tyndall brings to their consideration, they fully meet the design of their author, and are, in fact, excellent volumes of science tor the young. A book which brings within a narrow compass the best thoughts of the great thinkers or great poets in any particular direction is always sure ofa hearty welcome, Such a book is Mrs. A. S. Rich- ardson’s compilation which Hurd & Houghton pub- Jish under the title of “Songs irom the Old Drama- tists,” Shakspeare, of course, occupies a very large space in the volume, and many of his ad- mirers even will be surprised at what a remarka- ble song writer he was after seeing his sweet lyrics 80 cunningly brought together. While some of the pieces might as well have been omitted, Mrs Rich- ardson has generally done her work with accept- ability. It is some time since James R. Osgood & Co. pub- lished Whittier’s latest poem, ‘The Pennsylvania Pilgrim.” While not regarding the Quaker poet as having attained the higher realms of poetic art, his verse is-characterized by much delicacy of thougit, and his ballads and pastoral poems especially are full of the sentiment of realism. This “Pilgrim” is among the first contributions to the quaint life for which Pennsylvania is so distinguishable, Mrs. Westmoreland, of Georgia, and author of “Heart Hungry,” is now in this city, preparing for the press of G.

Mr. Stanley’s account of the journeyings of the HERALD expedition in search of Dr. Livingstone in its beok form will take its place by the side of volumes on Airican travel and research which have been published by Barth, Burton, Speke and others, including the great scientist and explorer whose whereabouts it was Mr. Stanley’s mission to ascertain, As @ newspaper enterprise it cannot fail to have a lasting influence upon progressive journalism, after all the jourmeyings, the dan- gers, the obstacies and the triumphs of which this book is the recora, of what 1s apt to befall the news- gatherer in his ceaseless search for information.

There Mr. Stanley met Dr. Kirk, the British Consul; there he began his inquiries of the great traveller, and there he fitted out the expedition which resulted in such & great triumph. After twenty-eigut. days consumed in preparation the party sailed across the channel to Bagamoyo, where the equipment was completed. The expedition reached that place February 6, 1871. Nearly five weeks were given tothe “start off,” but on the 2ist of March the fifth caravan, with which Mr. Stanley travelled, left for the interior. The whole expeui- tion comprised 192 persons. Farquhar, one of the white men, went with the third caravan, and Shaw, the other, accompanied Stanley. The first part of the journey was from Bagamoyo to Simbamwenni, a distance of 119 miles, and usually accomplished in fourteen days. Owing to sickness and the lag- ging of one of the caravans it extended to twenty- nine days, an average of only four miles a day, ‘The prospects of success were very discouraging, and misfortune seemed to follow upon misfortune, But these were overcome, as the natives of that wild region were afterward overcome by the in- trepid journalist. The result everybody knows; but @ pro‘ounder respect for the achievement must follow a perusal of Mr. Stanley's pages. He has so contributed to our knowledge of Central Africa as to make his book a necessity among reading and thinking people, and the elegant manner in which itis brought out by the publishers is equal to the importance of the discoveries of the author. MUSICAL AND THEATRICAL NOTES. Many of the friends of Mr. D. 0'C. Townley, the business manager of the Grand Opera House, whose sudden demise is the source of much regret, are anxious to tender his family some substantial token of the respect in which he was held. A benefit has been talked of, but this ia discouraged, on the ground that benefits seldom result in attaining the object for which they are given, and @ subscription is believed to be the best method of procuring @ sum of money which will be usefal to the stricken family, Chopin, the Polish musical celebrity, is to have a monument in his native town, Warsaw. Prince Orloff is leader of the project.
