The undersigned, appointed as THE COMMIT TEE OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT., to super vise its interests in relation to the movement in aid of the Great Central Fair for the Sanitary Commis sion, to be held in June next, respectfully ask the attention of the various Companies, and others interested, to the following suggestions : - First—lt is proposed that the Fire Department place their entire apparatus at the disposal of the Chief. Engineer, to afford protection to the Fair Buildings against accident from fire, the Chief En gineer to detail each day the necessary number of Companies to perform the duty required. Second—That the companies appoint Committees to collect money and salable articles for the benefit of the Fair, all articles thus collected to be labeled with the names of the donor and the Company thrhugh whose agency they were presented. If Companies can influence contributions of a day's labor to the Fire Department Fund, from any es tablishment or individuals, there is nothing in the rules governing the Fair to prohibit them from so doing. Third--To properly decorate the space to be al lotted to the Fire Department in the Fair Buildings, that Companies place at the disposal of this Com mittee their banners, flags, and other parapher nalia, the Committee pledging themselves to attend to their proper distribution at the Fair, and their safe return to the owners. Fourth—Officers of Companies are requested communicate, in writing with the Chief Engineer, as to 'whether or not they intend to take part in tile movement. Time being limited, it is desirable that, where action had not already been taken, Companies call special meetings, and promptly advise this Committee of the result. Fifth—Should persons or associations not con nected with the Fire Department desire to make donations, either of money or articles the same can be sent to either of the undersigned Committee, or to any Co mpany in the Department, or to the „office of the uhief Engineer, either of whom will give a•proper receipt therefor.

TRIMMINGS, RIBBONS, LACES AND IEMBROIDERIES The undersigned have been appointed to repre sent the constituencies of the above Department in the GREAT CENTRAL FAIR at Philadelphia, which will excel all preceding Fairs in the extent of its competitive displays of goods, and in the number of its prosperous visitors from the distri buting and consuming classes. They appeal to merchants, to manufacturers, and others,.at home and abroaa,to send at once, to any of the members of the Committee here named, such donations of MONEY, or goods, as they shall deem suitable, in aid of the object of the Fair. There need be no fear that too much can be sent, as the Trade stand ready to purchase from the De partment any excess of goods, while no guarantee is needed for the humane employment of all the funds entrusted to that noble Commission the re sults of whose labors are so noteworthy that they are carefully chronicled throughout the Christian world. Donations through this Committee will be duly acknowledged in those leading American journals most likely to be seen by the respective donors. Due credit for the items and the aggregate will be given in the records of the Fair, and it is ex pected that the comparison with the achievements of other interests will not be other than creditable to tno•e represented by this Committee. To the credit of the trade, dealers in the above lines of goods should find no difficulty in arrang ing for the transfer for the benefit of their own de partment, of any engagement elsewhere, which should, however. be henceforth avoided. -- Ladies of this Committee will call for the good will offerings of those citizens on whose humanity they rely for tokens of remembrance for the brave men who sacrifice health and limb to preserve the property and lives of their neighbors at home. Lee 'contributors who are ready, notify any of the un dersigned to call or send for their gifts. Contributors who make individual and collect ive donations to this cause are themselves, in ef fect, good Samaritans at battle-field and hospital, relieving our .pros trate foes as well as succcorin g the gallant defenders of our advanced civilization who chance to suffer in the maintenance of the welfare of the country.

Medical treatment andinied- Oboe ItTnl.hM r7lttnttnvalv to tT. twat. min COMMUNICATED Editor of the Zemin/ Bulletin . - -I notice In the Beetling Telegraph of the I:3th inst,, the remarks of Col. James Perot. oar newly appointed Flour In spector as reported in several of our City morning papers, which in my judgment, are well calcu lated to damage the character of Philadelphia flour in foreign parts. I regret that Col. Perot has thought proper to commence his admininistrailon with so ill-advised and unjust a depreciation of the quality of this im portant article of our.cornmerce. Although. the Telegraph has been pleased to refer in favorable terms to the former character of . my brands, the remarks of the Telegraph elicited by the speech of. our new Inspector are rather calcu lated (unintentionally, I am sure) to sustain his assumption that the quality and character of Phil adelphia flour. my own included, has depreciated in quality. t_r So far as my brands, viz: "Wm. B. Thomas Premium," "Red Stone Extra," ""m. B. Tho mas Extra," and , Wm.. B. Thomas Superfine,' ' are concerned, they do not require, nor do they receive any appreciation by any endorsement they may receive friar. an Inspector, they have an es. tablished reputation for excellence and uniformity of quality, wherever American flour finds a mar ket, and are purchased on their known and well. tablished merits. Nothing that Col. Perot could say therefore can add to, Or diminish their popularity or value; bat it is widely different with brands' that are un known, and these constitute nine-tenths of the flour that reaches the port of Philadelphia, and which, compared with that offered for sale in either of our sister cities, is equal if not superior The remarks of the Inspector is only calculated therefore to drive purchasers for foreign account to New York and Baltimore, where they can ob tain flour according to his statement, of higher character, an nci also to divert consignments from this port to other cities. Mr. Perot proposes to remedy this deficiency, which he says exists in the quality of Philadelphia flour, by some new rules in regard to inspections. f he succeeds in this, he will be able to do more than any former inspector has been able to accom plish, although often attempted, and which I be lieve cannot be done under our present system of compulsory inspection, in which the inspector is under the control of the receiver rather thaa the pnrOaser.. Let our Present system be abolished as early as possible, and that existing in New York adopted in its place, by which inspection becomes a part of the contract between the buyer and seller, the lat. ter choosing the man in whose judgment he is wil ling to depend, or purchasing without inspection, relying upon the established character of the brand, as he may think proper. W.M. B. THOMAS. THE ENGLISH BLOCKADE-BUNNING ASSO. CIATION. The London correspondent of the Heratd, 'under date of 9th inst. , writes as follows : The grand joint stock company for blockade running on a largo scale—of which I gave you an. account last week, in advance of all thejournals here—have got out their prospectus. There is not a name attached to it. So yon see the parties are playir g, like the ostriches, with their heads in the sand. They are just as welt known as if their names were plao,rded on the front of the Royal Exchange. Stringer, Bonner, Linda ay; the Lairds, Spence, Macßae and Dudley Mann are the ope rators, they reckon that it each one of ten steamers makes two successful trips, their investment of £9OO, 000—a million dollars—will bring them S3BO, - WO. Whatever profits or losses, different specu lators may have made on the average, or in the aggregate, there can be no doubt that their efforts have been the mainstay of the secession war. There are certain essentials, like small arms, im proved cannon, and beyond all these, articles like sulphur, saltpetre, percussion caps, medicines, .irc • that they could no more do without than a gun can shoot without powder. What in the name of common sense your people at Washington can be doing not to go and capture Wilmington, cost what it will, is more than I can see. It would be a greater loss to the rebels than the capture of an army of a hundred thousand men. If yon will eend a force over the dry, sandy plains of North Carolina, and a naval force to co-operate at sea, and take this devouring month that sup plies the rebels with two-thirds of their necessary foreign supplies, your navy could then virtually close up the remaining leaks and break up the work of the English speculators, who are growing rich at your expense and at the expense of an im mense prolongation of the war. One successful run in and out pays for the steam. ers, and also for the cost of the next cargo, if she is captured during the second, trip. I have lately learned that one firm, with some associates—Alex. der Collie Is 00. —has been running a line of ten steamers for a long time, and only had three or IQ= captutect. lite,rikaye realized 111prolits tner OUR WHOLE COUNTRY To be Commissaries of Subsistence, with Vie rank of Captain. —John Yan Lear, of Maryland; Captain Edward F.

TEE AITACIT ON PLYMOUTH, N. C. ;Correspondence of the N. Y. herald.] FORT ass April 20, 1814.—Au assault on 1 - 'l3 montH, N. C., with a force variously esti mated at from five to ten thousand men. was made by the rebels on Sunday afternoon,. while General Wesselis's troops were at dress parade. The alarm was first given by a little boy, who was outside of our line, and - who came running in to the pickets with the startling information that the ''rebels are coming." Almost immediately picket firing commenced; but our outposts were driven in by overwhelming numbers. A squadron of the 12th New 'York cavalry wac sent out to meet the rebel advance guard, Alter a short but serious engage-. meat the enemy's cavalry was repulsed with great loss. A lieutenant of the 12th New York cavalry was ldlled and several men severely wounded. Preparations for a desperate defence were made by the veteran General ih'essells, commanding the district, on a large scale. The troops were assem bled without delay, the forts all manned. and in this state the advance of the rebel horde awaited. The storming , of Fort Gray, situate some two miles from Plymouth, on the Roanoke river, was momentarily expected, and as General Wessells expected this rebel movement to be merely a cover to allow the Rinsion rams to come down on our fleet, captain Flusser, commanding the naval squadron on the Roanoke, was called into council by the General, and it was decided to send several g.,--nboaa: up the river. accordingly the Miami Captain Musser on board; the Ceres, WhiteheACs:d Bombshell, ,,iki atot i c ,. . r e a got une derweigh, and befell Fort boats returned fired on from the shorg. Cris 'n made the shot for shot with interest, and sa neighborhood too hot to hold the atc,c,,?.17• The rebels, however, made a determinc‘d attack oil Fort Gray, and in no less than three se "eral as saults they were repulsed in th. most gallant and n:l determined manner by Captain Brawn, commo ing the fort. Immense sitter of rebels was made by our brave garrison oT Fort Gray. The gunboats mate rially assisted Use siege guns of the fort,and poured their broadsides in'io the rebel column repe.a-tedlY, making huge wind Zews in their ranks. iffiLs en gagement was only eri,,nalled in its executiontuid slaughter by the green battle- at Malvern , where the navy poured such raking volleys o.' grape and shell into the;enetiiy's lines. After the third repulse the enemy reiLted, and up to twelve o'clock, on Sunday 'night, when my informant left, ever thing was quiet. Another attack wasexpected by Brigadier-General Wessells, and, to be untrammeled by all possible contingencies that might arise, he at once ordered all the non-combatants, women and children, to leave the town. The guards were doubled, the guns spotted nd cast loose, while the gunboats lying off the town made similar preparauons to shell the woods beyond Plymouth on the first signal made of a hostile approach. Captain Flusser remained above For: Gray, as reliable intelligeure was brought to him that the rebel rams from Kinston bad really come ent, and were expected to _make an attack on his fleet. The casualties on cur side were very .fight. The officer above mentioned, a lieutenant of the 12th New York cavalry, and a naval officer, were killed, also some flve or si.r. pri vates of the cavalry and garrison at Fort Gray. A few wounded were brought to the General Hospi ml at Plymouth, and properly cared for. CONEIBMATIONS BY THE SENATE.
