fJJPFX'' B UjLIjTETIIS • A NATIONAL lOSS. Xbe New Ironsides Destroyed »r Fire. btf/Saturday night the/ United States frigate New Ironsides was discovered to be on fire, and, notwithstanding every effort to check the flames, the vessel wah totally destroyed. For the past sixteen months the iroa-olads and monitors have been out of commission, and have beenlmd np at League Island,-the owners or the nremiseß granting permission to the Govern ment to nse the place for this pnrpose. , The New Ironsides, the iron-clad Atlanta, and the monitor Dictator were anchored in the Delaware opposite the island, while, the monitors were placed in the back channel. Ab the anchorage ground, was not within the limits of a Navy-Yard, there was no enard of marines, and the safety of the fleet was confided entirely to watchmen, who were always on dnty at night. No fires were allowed on board the vessel, ex cept in the engineers’ rooms, where small stoves were treed for the .purpose of con densing the moisture and preventinginjury to the machinery. i - ; On' Saturday night-at nine o’clock, Mr. Frederickson, the ship-keeper, made the usual tour of the vessels, and found every thing in Order.' The fire onboard the New Ironsides was as usual, and there was no thing to indicate danger of , any kind. But beforehe had concluded his inspection of the vessels his attention was attracted by the smell Of burning wood. He returned to - the New Ironsides. and discovered that smoke was issuing from one of the hatches aft of the engines. Mr. Frederickson at tempted to trace the fire and thusextinguish. it,'but was prevented by the smoke, and he atonce gave the alarm, and the few watoh men in charge of the other vessels endea vored, to prevent the spread of the flames by battening the hatchways down. Information was at once despatched to the Navy Yard, but before a -tug could reach lieague Island thefiames had burst through the hatchway, and at midnight the vessel wasamassofflame. In the meantime the officers at the Navy Yard had applied to the steam engine companies in the lower sec tions of the city, and these promptly res ponded. The ShifflerSteam Engine, Frank lin Engine, Southwark Engine, Marion Hose, Niagara Hose, and others whose names escaped ns, reached the island soon alter information was received that their services would be required. Assistant En gineer MoCusker was onthe ground, direct ing the movements ofthe companies. By the time the firemen reached the island all hope of saving the New Ironsides had been aban doned. Captain Irwin and Dr. Simons were on hand immediately after the first alarm was given, and so soon as it was seen that the Ironsides could not be saved the fi-emeu were so disposed as to protect the other ves sels. The Dictator and Atlanta lay in close to the wharf, while the Ironsides was abont ten feet further in the stream, and, at one time, it was believed that the two former would share the fate of the frigate. The firemen, however, working efficiently,not withstand ing the nnmerons obstacles encountered at the island, succeeded in saving both vessels. A portion of the wooden bridge leading to the bulkhead of the wharf was cut away, in order to allow the steam engine of the Siiiffler to approach the water.-aud from this position she was enabled to throw a stream upon the Atlanta and Dictator. The other steamers drew water from the ditches in the neigh borhood, but, as these were soon ex hausted, nothing more could be accom plished. At two o’clock yesterday morn ing the flames were, issuing from every port hole and crevice of the frigate, and the’brilliant light caused by the fire Illumi nated the sky miles from the scene. Toe firemen remained in service until 11 o’clock yesterday morning, when the fire was still burning on the Ironsides, but all danger to the otber vessels had passed. The fire con tinued to burn all day yesterday, and, not withstanding the terrible storm raging during the morning, a large number of per sons visited the Beene. The hall of the frigate still remained. The huge smoke stack lay across the vessel r and at intervals during the day the heavy iron plates on the side became loosened and plunged into the river. Towards evening, preparations were made to tow the vessel to the flats, in order that a portion of the iron plates could be recovered in case the frigate went to the bot tom. The origin of the fire is, of course, still a mystery, but it is believed by those best in formed,-than it was-the work of an incen diary. Albert Tounghatn and Alexander Sayers, members of the Bluffier fire company, met with a serious accident. ' assisting to get the water on the burning iron-clad, they both fell. 1 Mr. Tohhgham fell across a lad der'andgreatly, injured himself. He was carried, in to the cabin of the Dictator, where he waskindiy attended to by the officers in charge of that steamer. - Mr. Sayers fell be tween the Ironsides and the Dictator, there being just space enough to admit him to pass through into' the water. He came very near drowning, but being a pretty good switurner be managed to keep ' his head above water until be was rescued by his fellow firemen. He was soinewhat bruised about his legs, body and arms, which he didnot seem to mind as much as . the un expected cold drenching he had received. The Hew Ironsides was considered, the best iron-clad in the American navy, hud,' independent of her national reputation, she was ,an especial favorite with Philadel phians. She was launched from the yard Of Cramp <fc Son,'on Saturday, May 20, 1862, andCtne event was one of more than local interest. The frigate was built of Pennsyl vania oak, and was 245 feet long, 67 feet 6 inohes beam, and 25 feet hold. She had two floor timbers to each frame, each 40 feet long, 18 inches deep and 'l3 inches thick. The balance of the frame was 10 inohes thick, and tapered from 17} inches at the floor head to 7 inches at the plank shear. The space between the frames were fitted solid from the keel to the plank shears, and were caulked inside and out before the planks were put on. Her kelson consisted or eight courses, 20 inches deep and 14 inohes thick. There was also the main kelson,. 20 inches deep and 18 inohes at the side. This kelson had 2} inohes copper bolts to eachframe, fastened through frame and keel, making over two hundred copper bolts,' four feet: six incheslongand one inch and a half thick, from the main kelson alone., On each side of the keel were three courses of garboard streaks, and the plank ing-on. the flat of the bottom was five inches thicb, gradually increasing in thick ness from the turn of the bilge to the iron plating, where it was nine inches. -The average thickness of the timber behind the plating was twenty-one inches. The berth deck clamps: and bilge streaks were nine inches in thiokness; the deck clamps eight inches, and those on the Bpar, deok were seven inches in thickness. The iron plating was the principal feature of the vessel, and the severe contest in front of .Port Sumter established the fact that the Hew Iron sides was beyond all doubt the ' most /.powerful ship in 7 the American navy. This plating, commenced ; four feet below the water line, and three feet above, and for 166 feet amidships was con tinued up to the plank- - shear. The plates were 4} inch iron, while those on the spar deck were one inch £n thiokness. The plates were connected betongues of iron fitted into" gfnUveßj and; the .heaviest, plates weighed The tamorplating at the bow 1 consisted of the. two lowest. streaks, meeting from the two sides of the bow, bolted together and projecting beyond itlour feet ten inches. - This part of the vessel was fifty-six inches high, and nine inohes'thlok. The iron plating on the vessel weighed over THIS DULY EVENING BUMiETIN: £ 900 tons, thehull of the? ship.'l,979 tons,. and the total weight,includlng outfit,m*ohlnery, fuel, was abont 4,000 tons. - - The New Iron- • sides was bark rigged wlth thf ee masts, and her spars so arranged that when engaged in action they all came down to:the spar deck. ; The machinery, which was of the finest workmanship, consisted of two horizontal condensing engines, with cylinders fifty inches in diameter, and thirty-inch stroke, and were calcnlated to make eighty five revolutions, turning a thirteen feet propeller. She was provided with horizontal tubular boilers capable of developing 1,600 horse- power. ” ' : The armanent consisted of a battery of sixteen 9-inch guns on themain deck, and a couple of light rifle guns at bow and stern on her spar deck. : At the time of the fire the vessel was dis mantled. ' I - i The School Teachebs and an Increase op Salaby.— On Saturday afternoon a large number of the ladies and gentlemen teaoh era attached to the different public schools of this city, met in convention in the leotnre room ofthe Girls’ High and Normal School. - i Edward W. Shippen, Esq., President of ti e Board of Controllers of Public Schools, was called to the chair, and Mr. Fetter, Principal ofthe Normal School, waschosen Secretary. President Shippen, oh taking the chair, stated that the present meeting was organ ized by the .lady teaohers of the different, schools in the city, which held/primary meetings resulting in the issuing of a . call for the general meeting of y esterday. He, for one, was favorable to the increase of the. teachers' salary, and thought there whs not a member of the Board of Control who was notin favor ofthe \ same. If we fail this year we mußt continue to work 1 for auoeess. it is suggested that the teachers of the city of Philadelphia form themselves into an as sociation for the purpose of increasing their salary. I think our schools couldbe im proved by paying our teaohers a better sal ary. The apathy existing in Counoils in re ference to the increase was from a want of - knowledge ofthe vast amount of labor* per formed by the teachers. In Boston they had an association' which. was quite a feature, and he urged upon the mem bers the necessity of one in this city. An invitation was extended tb all the members of Councils, hut few had respond ed. In this city 1,400 teaohers receive less than $4OO salary per year; 100 less than $360; 350 less than $340; 188 less than $320; 219 who, after paying their hoard, have on hand tbe enormous surplus of one dollar per Week. They cannot live on less than $5 per week in a boarding house, and if they live at home their parents must main tala them. In New York city the expenses of the pub lic schools are $3,000,000 annually, and in this city, having more scholars, vpe instruct ttem on less than one-third the amount. Tbe cost of each scholar’s tuition in this cry, per diem, is one cent, eight mills, 493 pnrts of a mill; and we might injustice ask councils for an increase of five mills per diem. The salaries of the teachers of this city are far behind that of any otber city in tbe United States. The salaries in New York have been increased once during the last year, and Boston twice during the same time. There is no reason that; the public should receive such great advantages for such meagre salaries, A series of resolutions were presented, setting forth the enhanced cost of living, and that the attire and residences of the tf achers should, at least, he respectable, and that neither the three hundred dollars as the lowest'nor four hundred and fifty dollars as tbe highest salary, except that of the gram? mar school, is sufficient for a proper main tenance in life at the present cost of living, which includes food, clothing and other ex tra expenses, too often in the shape of doc tors’ bills and the loss of salary by the em ployment of substitutes daring absence, and that tbe expenses must, in many cases, be provided for by the teachers assuming, so me other employment out of school hours. Tbe resolutions were adopted, and a com mittee of teachers, two from each school, appointed to present them to the commit ters of Finance and of Schools of City Councils. A communication was received from Cbas. W. Carrigan, Esq., regretting his in ability to be present, bat he assured them be heartily 00-operated with the movement. The.following resolution waß unanimously adopted. Resolved, That a committee of two from tbe High, Grammar, Secondary, Primary and Unclassified sohools be appointed, whose dnty it shall be to devise and report to an adjourned meeting of the teachers a plan for the forniiation of a teachers’ association, and that said committee shall consist of two from each school, and that the object of the association shall be for themhtnalimprove ment of tbe teachers. : A number of gentlemen addressed the audience at considerable length, elioiting much applause and creating a great, deal of merriment, - - - . . , . Adjourned until Saturday next. Arson Cabs.— Before Alderman Beitleri on Saturday, William Seating, a negro waiter in the house of Mrs.- W.' W.Fiaher, at Seventeenth and Locust, was charged with arson, in setting fire to two beds and the contents of a bureau, in the chamber oc cupied by Mrs; Fisher. Fire-Marshal Blackburn testified that the fires tookplacs , on Thursday evening last, and were dis covered'soon after the defendant left the house; that suspicion fell upon him,because, ' by reason of some bad conduct, athreat had been made to discharge him; and that after. : his arrest, though it was impossible for him 1 ' to have heard of the fire from any one when ' asked what he had-been arrested for, he re plied thatit was for the fire at Seventeenth and Locust streets. The Fire-Marahalfar tber said that; after a conference with him, Keating had made a full' coufessicn of his guilt, saying that he had: thrown lighted matches on the beds, and then' opened the bureau drawers an'd'put lighted matches in them. He was committed, in defaplt of §5,000 bai], to answer theoffehce of arson. : Fobgert and Conspiracy.— Befere Al derman Beitler, on Saturday, William Boss ton and William Bryant were charged with conspiracy to defraud S. Hauo, clothing dealer. The testimony was to the effect that Bosston called at the store of Mr. Hauo with an order for clothing signed Geo. Maguire, whose place.of business is in. South Front street; that a salesman or Mr. Hauo called at Mr. Maguire’s place to see if It was good, : and there met Bryant, who pronounced, it so, and gave' a check on the First national Bank for §lOO, which purported to be signed by Mr. Maguire. Bosston again called at tbe clothing store and received garments, to amount of §75 and §25 in cash. .The check was afterwards discovered to be a forgery. Bryant and Bosston were held for their ap pearance at Court. „ City Mortality,— The number of intern ments in the City during the.past week was 238, against 273 tbe same period last year. Of .the whole number 118 were adolts and 120 children—6o being under one year of age; 135 were males, 103 females; 68 boys and 52 girls.- The greatest number of deaths occurred In theSevehth Ward, being 19,and the, smallest number in the Hinth Ward, where only two were reported.

Charles P. Benedict being daly sworn testified as follows—the question being as to what amount of thread wo'sld be taved on thirty wheeler * Wilson machines, rinning ten boors a day, over that of Grover* Baker machines: “Answer. Taking bLx hundred yards as a fair average per day, on a Wheeler * Wilson machine, thirty machines would produce eighteen thousand yards of wing: three yards cf thread to e»ch yardoi Sawing w. old make ftity-ftmr thousand yards of thread con sumed. Eighteen thousand yards done on the Grover &. Baker machine would require ninety thousand yards of thread, being an excess of thirty-six thousand yards of thread used over the amount used by the Wheeler & n ilson machine on the same amount ot work. At two huudred yards for each spool, it would make adif •crenceof one hundred aud eighty spools, or fifteen d< z*n, which, tt the present prloe of cotton, would nitke adherence of from tioelveto sixteen dollars dotty In favor of the Wheeler * Wilson machine. On silk tl e difference would be greater.” Ihe same deponent further testified that “in the buslni as of hoop-skirt making and ruffling, and hotel and family goods, he preferred Wheeler* Wilson machines to heavy Grover * Baker machines like Exhibit A, because they run faster and ose less thread.” . In reply to the question, “Is the Wheeler* Wilson machine used for neavy manufacturing?” Mr. Bene di-tacswereC: “iouglaa * Sherwood and my own establishment manufactured nearly two hundred thousand pairs of hi avy hospital slippers, theunpers made ofheavy blue kersey and the soles of Brass els carpet, all the Bewlng cl which was performed- on the Wheeler * Wilson cachine;onUo.
