The Fire Departefteint.
When onr Fire Department was reorganized
and put under the control of, a chief engineer
tnd his assistants, it was expected that its effi
ciency would be greatly promoted by the new
arrangement, and by infusing order, concert,
of action, and regularity into all its operations.
For some time these anticipations were, to a
great eitent; 'realited, but latterly, in the
midst of, a clime municipal contest,' the politi
cionsvf our city government, in their anxiety
to 'gain the of the firemen, have in.
ierfered, , in a summary way, to prevent such
eutperibletie of the different 'companies as the
chief - engineer; Mr. Fitaitort, has deemed but
ink PtiniShMent - tor, refractory - or improper
conduct. ,
A striking case ' "of this kind. occurred on
Thursday, when acompany, whose suspension
wds annommid to Councils at three o'clock,
inimediately applied for relief,- and had 'an
ordinsuce'finally passed exempting them from
suepenibin, and signed by the Mayor, by six
o'clock_ the same, afternoon. The charges
which led ,to • suspensions which have been
overitiled in: , several recent cases were of a
grave and serious character. In one instance
the alleged offence was a refnial to yield up a
tire plug, in obedience to proper orders, and
the consequent destruction 'of ;20,000 worth
'et" property by the increased ravages of the
fire. In another buildings were deluged with
.water unnecessarily, in direct disobedience to
orders, met ireperty valued at twenty thousand
dollars thug destroyed. In another the - alleged
misconduct consisted in a'rlotous and disor
derly attack liptin a, first company; but all
these alleged °Handers' were promptly rein.
4tatcal, without doing' deli a few months' pe
nance, or Without a fell investigation of the
charges which the chief engineer, in compli-
Miee' with his official duty, made against
them..-
•It perfectly evident that if all the penal.
ties attached to disobedience of the chief en-
Kineer and his assistants, and to insubordinate
inddisordelly conduct, are to be thus ignored,
nue preient laws relating to the Fire De
partment will speedily be nullified, and
wry company obtain full license to dash
°sway whenever the alarm-bell is isonsided, in
: its own Way, mainly intent upon. beating its
rivals, and clinging off the honors of the occa
sion, with but little reference to any systematic
plans for the preservation of property. .
= The" truth is, the orators of both parties
end-many .candidates for seats in the Council
Chambers, . earnestly endeavored 10 obtain
tile, votes of ,the firemen; each striving to
nutbid hie antagonist in professions of dovo
lion to their Interests; and in pledges to grant
theta unlimited license in their conduct at
fires I and; as-the case, stands at present; our
city la in a fair way to have the old system re
crablisbed, and nearly every 'check upon dis
order 'and" turbulenCe,_ and nearly every legal
`proelsion 'for the establishment • of discipline
rind• unity, of action, destroyed.. The firemen
know that they have the politicians under their
thumbs, Ind, acting upon this conviction, de
s'pise'restrictions • which are obnoxious to
thorn,' feeling conscious that they can do so
with impunity. '

‘ Although the Democrats have been compelled to
ma' farewell to Charleston, it is duo to most of the
people of that .beautiful%eity to ,state ,that , they
made every arrangement to render the delegates
comfortable during their sojourn; and although
the Convention did nothing to carry out the wishes
of the people who elected it, it cannot be doubted
that many healthy and compensating results will
flow from its proceedings. First of all is the op.
portunity presented to Northern Demoorata to
prove their courageous fidelity to principle and
their i coneolentious determination never to yield
the candidate of their Choice to the tyranni.
cal deniandn•
.of a , miserable ,faction com
pounded of disuntonlets, offlee.holders, and
disappointed :aspirants. Next _ought to be
classed the effect of the speeches and votes of
Northern men upon Southern
,opmion. It must
have been a splendid spectacle during the delivery
of inch fearless speeches as those of Payne and
Pugh, of Ohio, and Stuart, of Michigan, to watch
the faces of the assembled beauty and the chivalry
of the slave States. Seed , thus planted must pro
duos its natural and seasonable harveit.
It is evident front the tone of the Washington
Constitution of this morning, that the pause in
the excitement produced by the adjournment is to
be 'Merely temporary. Not only will the Adminis
tration, but the secessionists also, renew the ern-
Bade upon Doitglas and his friends. The Constitu.
lion boldly repeats the idea that " the Den:moralist
party is 'to be sacrificed to the selfish ambition
of ontiman "—meaning Judge Douglas, of course.
This, Is refreshing, and characteristic insolence.
All the troubles in the Democratic party or'•
abutted in• the . treasonable betrayal of principle
by 4, one man "—the ,President of the United
States—and were increased by his refusal to
abandon his course,. and his obstinate presetip
tion of all who would .not endorse his treachery.
This " one man " opened upon the country and the
Democratic party the vials of dimension and of de
feat. He seised upon the Government, and at
tempted to use it against the people. Re bribed
the venal and intimidated the weak, and prosti•
tuted himself into a mere tool of the avowed foes
of the Onion. He caw in Denise the embodiment
of the principle he bad deserted, and, ke turned
upon him with the malevolence of a Send,
calling to his aid all the mercenaries who
were attracted by his offices, or conciliated by his
promises. The Democratic people, indignant at
ingratitude so base, closed around Douglas, and
mai him their leader; and they will never aban
don him, no matter how, the Administration and
its followers may rail and rave. To allege that the
difficulties in the Democratic party have been pro
duced by Douglas is an acopeation worthy of
the pensioned organ of the disunionist& Douglas
has the party at his back ; he has the organization;
be has'the Democratic creed. To ask him to yield
these to an intolerant minority, whose watchword
is secession, whose oath is not to support the Con
htitution, but to trample upon the Union, is like
asking the leader of a groat army, the idol of his
troops and the custodian of the honor of his country,
to surrender to a desperate gang of mutineers, who
have revolted because they could not have every
thing thhir own way.
It is interesting to leek over the list of the men
engaged in this disorganizing proscription: Yan
cey and his tire-eaters; Slidell and his followers;
.Bigler and the °Moe-holders ; Browne, the British
subject who sonducts the Confutation, and every
man known to desire the overthrow of the Union.
I told you two years ago that Mr. dinehanen'e policy
would lead to precisely such a combination. When
he yielded his honor and the Democratic creed to
the Alabama and Mississippi disunionist he took
a starting step towards dissolution. The moment
they found he had dowered before their threats,
they increased in their erections; and as they
proceeded in the work of denunciation of Delig
hts, they gradually erected slavery into the
only test in the party, making all men Demo
drsta qt in proportion as they sup
ported or opiposed theft' demands. To all intents
and rpurpeees the Administration is committed to
Disunion, and nothing but the bravery of Dougias
and his friends has prevehted the Democratic
party from being bound hand and foot to the same
idea. OCCASIONAL.'
Public Amusements.
MR. J. S. OL&RICI9 has hia bane fit at Aroh-streo
Theatre, this evening, and puts oat a most ettrao
five bill.
AT WALIII7T.IISIIMST TSIEATRIS, Mr. HMOS, a
comedian of some ability and great utility, takes
his benefit to-night.
That great attraction, little Dottie Dutton, bolds
her afternoon and evening receptions at 8 and B
o'clock, at Assembly Buildings, southwest corner
of Tenth and Chestnut streets. We would hint
thit it is necessary to go early to have a chance of
seeing the small lady, for the hall was Completely
filled yesterday afternoon a little after 2 o'clock,
and the performances had to commence, by gene
ral deride, half an hoar before the regular time.
Two evenings in the ensuing week (viz.. Wed
nesday and Friday) will be agreeably °templed, at
Musical Fund Hall, with peculiar performances,
which have been extremely attractive, not only all
over Etglend,tlreland, and Scotland, but, within
the last few weeks, in Mew York. Mr. Philip
Lawrenoe, an English Reader of Poetry, with con
siderable dramatic spirit in hie recitations, will
read various, poems and passages from Haileok,
SliskAYesre, Longfellow, and others, and will be as
elided by a youthful amateur named Riohardson, a
Philadelphian, who will give readings from OaMP.
bell, Longfellow, John Quincy Adams, Drake, and
Shakspeare. To relieve the monotony of a whole
evening's readings and recitations, that excellent
musician, Mr. Charles IL Jarvis, will give per:
formancee on the piano,—namely, Tbalberg'e
adaptation of "Home, sweet home,"' a Gallops by
Wollenhaupt, and several of Melberg's beet
waltzes. This combination of dramatic poetry and
exquisite music will make a most agreeablomelu nge,
and we shall expect to find the ball quite orowded
on each occasion. As there is no reservation of
seats, and consequently only one price fir s4utts,
we recommend tickets to be procured in advents.,
and the attendance to be as early as possible.
Cent Sawrz'e Comonn.r.—The complimentary
concert to Carl Bents, originally announced for
fait Thursday, will take place, at the Academy
of Music, on next Thursday, May 19th. The Pablio
Rehearsals of the Germania Orchestra, with whioh
Mr. Bentz is so favorably identified, are so popular
with the public, and more especially with the gen
tlewomen of Philadelphia, that the Academy is
pretty sure to be three parte filled with feroininas
next Thursday evening. The programme is very
Strong.' It opens with the Overture to Rickard
Wagner'e Tannhauser." This is one of the most
effective overtures of the modern German school,
and was lately performed, along with other compo
sitions of Wagner's at the Conservatoire de Mu
sique, et Paris, under the composer's own direc
tion. The Emperor Napoleon was so pleased with
this " Tannhauser" osmium, that he has ordered
the opera itself to be produced, with the- utmost
completeness and magnificence, at the Imperial
Opera-house. Next, a grand Fantaide, (Souvenir de

by Bon. Nathan Crosby, tho average age of all the
clergymen whose ages are given (181) to 021; and
the average ago of all the physicians (227) is 57
making a difference of over four years in the lenge'_

other fasts, showing that the clergy, as' class, are
long lived, though a different impression prevails
among many people. Of the 181 obituary noticed
of clergymen in this work, 80 were over 70 years of
age; 22 over 80 years; I over 90 years, and 3 over
700 years of age.

city of San Franolmoo, and twenty thousand out

Lind Company, most of whose stook is held in
Philadelphia.
The opinion of the court, in this case, was that.
the claimants showed ne legal title or , record of
evidence in support of the grant; that the elaiin-,
ants have no equity, for want of oonsideration,
immersion and improvements; that the evidence
satisfied the court that the claim was fabricated,'

GENERAL CUSHING'S CLOSING ADT
The following was General Cushing's dosing ad
dross:
Gentlemen of the Convention: Allow ms before
putting the question of adjournment, td'addrees to
you • a parting word. I desire first to say. and in
saying it to bear testimony to your constituents and
to the people of the United States, that considering
the numerousness of the assembly, the important
interests Involved in its deliberations, and the
emotions thus naturally awakened in your bosoms
—considering all this,- I say, your sessions have
been distinguished by order, by freedom
from personalities, by decorum, and by observance
of parliamentary method and law. In competition
for the floor, in the seal of gentlemen to promote
their respeotive opinions by motions or objections
to motions in the lassitude of protracted sittings,
occasions have occurred of apparent beit only ap
parent, confusion. But there has been no real con
fusion, no deliberate violation of order. I am
bettor able than any other person to speak know
ingly on this point, and to 'peak impartially, and
I say it with pride and pleasure, as a thing espe
cially proper for me to say from the chair. I
desire further to say, for and in behalf of
myself. that - I also know, by knowledge of my
own heart and conscience, that in the midst of cir
cumstances always arduous, and, in some respects,
of-peouliar emberrawment, it has been my steady
purpose and constant endeavor to discharge im
partially the duties of the Chair. If, in the exe
oution of the duties, it shall have happened to me
to address any gentleman abruptly, or net to have
duly recognisod him, 1 beg pardon of him and of
the Convention. Finally, permit me to remind
you, gentlemen, that not merely the fortunes of
the great constitutional party which you repre
sent, but the fortunes of the Constitution, also,
are at stake on the ants of this Convention.
Raring a period, now, of eighty-four years we,
of the States of this Union, hams been associated
together, in one form or another, for ebjoots of
domestic order and foreign security. Wo have
traversed , side by side in the wars of the Re
volution and other and later wars; through peace
and war, through sunshine and storm, we have
held our way manfully on until we have come to
by a great Republic. Shalt wo cease to he such?
t witj net believe it. I will not believe that the
noble work 'of our fathers to tp be shattered into
fragments; that this groat Republic' Is to be hut a
name—a history of mighty people ones existing,
bat existing no longer, nave ass shadowy memory
or a monumental ruin by the side of the pathway
of time. I fondly trust that we shall continue to
march on forever—the hope of nations as well in
the (jid World as in the New ; like the bright orbs
(it the' firmament which roll on without rest, be
mune bound for eternity without baste; beeause
pre-destined for eternity . So may it be with this
glorious Confederation of States. I pray you.
therefore, gentlemen, to your constituents and to
the bosoms of your families to take with you, as
your guiding thought, the sentiment of the Con
stitution ond the Union;, and, with this, I oor•
dirtily hid you farpweli 'until the proscribe[} Teal

' The Fight for the Chamrtmehrp.
i (From the London Times, April 20.1
1 , To TRIP EDITOR OF THE Tarns : Sir—l am de
' sired to state, oe the part of Mr. John 0. Heenan,
in answer to your report of this morning, that
neither he nor any person authorised to ad
for him requeseed the referee at the late en
iounter between Sayers and himself to' stop the
fight when the ring was broken into. On the
contrary, he and his friends, nearly all of
!hem were grouped in a little handful at his
sterner, repeatedly protested against the invasion
of the ropes, . and demanded that the fight
ibould not be interrupted ln proof of this, Heenan
rented bin way throe times through the crowd of
arsons who poured into the arena from the side of
Sayers to renew the combat after that outrage had
taken place, and who reeked to leave the ring,
and did not do so until Sayers had been withdrawn.
He wishes me to say, moreover, that he feels sure
that, had not that occurrence taken place, he
;would soon have made bin victory manifest to
.the moat prejudiced pereon on the ground. As to
the saggeation which has been kindly
made by the editor of Bell's Life, that
:Sayers and be should have a belt apiece, he begs
to say that: while he will obeerfully eubsoribe to a
' i new testimonial for hie brave and honorable adver
nary, he wilt have none other than the one he made
9400 miles to get, and which be honestly feels ho
has already won. He believes, however he eon
win it again, if required to do so; and, if it be
really amenable to conquest by a wronger, he will
not leave your shores until he brings his late con
test to a new and due °mansion. .
On the part of many Americana in London who
have called upon me, we repudiate entirely the
idea expressed at the conclusion of your article—
namely, that Sieenan'a American supporters " con
sent to the contest being considered a drawn bat
tle," They, on the contrary, theist that the fight,
If not decided to bo already won by Iberian, ehall
be considered as still pending, and subject to
renewal at the earliest possible day. Through
a note friin the referee, which now lice be-
fore me, I Ilprn be bee refused a new arbitrament
this week (according to the usual custom), "on the
ground of humanity;" but, while the friends ef
Mr. Heenan cannot object to such a highly credita
ble motive they disclaim for him the requirement
of any such consideration, be being quite capable
of responding to the orders of the referee,
and will no respond at an hour's notice.
The friends of Reopen, while they acquit
the upright and gannet Sayers and his lm
mediate backers from any participation in
the violent interruption of the contest, wish
to declare the clearness of neenan'e supporters
from any complicity with that outrage and in
this connection desire mo to say that when a men
in our country who has engaged to aniline another
requires outside aid to help Ilhn, as was given to
t-ayers in the thirty-ninth round, he is considered
to be beaten. In abort, whenever "humanity"
justifies such interference, the verdict le given
against the man whose conquered and hopeless
condition requires the practical interposition of
such a eontiment.
In coneltialon, I wish to say fqr ravioli' that in
the haste of writing my long report, the battle part
of which has been puhlisbed here in an illus
trated extra, a few errors crept In, which could not
be corrected for that edition, as I bad no time al
lowed me to either revise my manuscript or had
its proof. One of those orrore was the omission of
the word " at" In the last line of ono of the
closing rounds, whop, in spnabing of the coquet
of the persons who broke into the ring, it should
rand " they kicked at and struck at him," instead
of " kicked and struck him "
I send with this a corrected copy of that report,
and if you will lay it before the gentleman who
prepared your ablywritten account of Wodiseaday,
and he will point out any err°, 13 I may have made
therein, I will cheerfully correct it for perusal
Aiiseriaa.

Sixth street, near Chestnut, on Thursday evening,
for the purpose of serenading the successful candi
dates for the city offices. The night was clear and
cool, and attracted an immense crowd. A number
of wards ware represented, the Seventh ward
coming out with a large crowd. At nine o'clock
the procession started, and paraded over a number
of our principal streets. We think there were from
three to five thousand in line, although the number
might have been larger. A.number of transpa
rencies were carried along the line, containing acme
very suggestive expressions and mottotstmost of
which were in allusion to Mr. Robbins, and the
feathered inhabitants of the forest with which his
name is synonymous. " Who killed Cock Robin?"
and other allusions of a personal and satirical eha
raeter,were inscribed on numerous transpareneies.
It was the intention of the company to'visit Mr
Henry, but his sickness caused that part of the
programme to be postponed.
At the house of Mr Lex, on Arch street, above
Tenth, the other candidates of the city ticket had
assembled, in company with a number of political
friends. When the company halted in front of his
door, cheers were given for the enoceseful candl
dates. After quiet had been partially restored,
Mr Lex said :
FELLow-Orrlzans ; You promised when you
called upon me to congratulate me on my nomina
tion, that you would return again end announce
my election. Yon have redeemed that promise,
and this vast Multitude convinces me, by its enthu
siasm, that their feelings and sympathies have
been deeply aroused by the contest through which
we have passed, and that this rejoicing is real and
not feigned. I thank you, heartily, for the good
work you have aecomplished, and this tea proud
day in the history of my life.

their industry, their seal, their perseverance, and
their indomitable ardor, were arrayed against no,

failed to save them, and we have triumphed, glori

can take care of themselves, without the aid of de

I rejoice the more heartily with you, when I re

SUNDAY-SCHOOL ANNTVERSARY —Th• Sunday
school of St. Matthew's (Lutheran) Churoh, New atreets
below Fourth,(Rev. E. W. Matter, tmetord celebrated
its anniversary on Bunday morning, in the presence of a
large congregation. An address' was made by the Pin
ter, in which he ixtolled the Bunday-erhool movement
as one of the most elm-lona that had ever entered the
mind of man. It was at once the nursery both of the
lunch militant on earth, and of the church triumphant
in heaven. Of the four hundred souls added to this
church, since he had beoome Its minister, he stated that
more than two•thirds had come from the Aunday-school,
and added, what is a little unusual, that for mo-et than
eight years past he had not been under the neoessitr of
making a single appeal from the pulpit for teachers, as
there were always enough of his members anxious to
nerve in that capacity, without having it pressed upon
them as a duty. Addresses were also made by Mr
Abraham Martin, the; well-known veteran in the SlM
day-sohool canoe, and the Rev. Mr. Cornell.
THE SCENE AT thorrotins'.—The magnificent
store of Messrs. Charles Uakford fc Sons, under the
Continental Hotel, which has deservedly the reputatiim
of being the handsomest store of its class in the world,
has presented a scene within a day or two, which it
wou'd require all the taste and skill of a Jenkins to de
scribe. We ha , e already referred to the fait that their
several departments contain a greet variety of articles
adapted for both ladies and gentleman, as, for example•
Hats of every style and description; misses' and ohtl

Min' Sun Umbrellas, and a superb line of gentle
men's Furnishing Goode. All these •are now being
thronged daily by our oitisent of taste, and the active
scene which they percent, in consequence, is a happy
comment upon the success of this enterprising firm.
REMOVAL or THE G. P. E. o.—We have now to
announce that the contemplated removal of the Great
Central Cravat Store, cr which we spoke several days
