PHILADELPHIA DELUGED Lest evening the streets of Philadelphia were overflowed, and it is quite likely that many cellars Caine in for a share of the ablution. In quite a number of places we observed the water running through the vault grating in the pavements. The STOW of the recent storm on Sunday lay piled up in long pyramids on the streets ; the gutters were not cleared of the icy obstruction, sett consequently the Water could not be freely carried off. Yesterday morning snow and bail commenced to fall, and for several hours the white flakes predo minated, and came down almost stratgat. as there was little or no wind at the time. About 3 o'clock the rain succeeded. and up to a late hour lest eve ning it came down freely. Between the Aetna and the melting snow the streets were turned into so many fords. At some of the crossings an enter prising individual might have made many a cur rency note, if ho had had a small skiff to ferry the people over, at an early hour in the evening. We do not remember any time when the water was se deep in the streets. Even at Fourth and Chalfant streets—pretty high ground— the water was sixteen inches deep; at Sixth and Walnut streets it was still deeper. At Third and South streets, Fourth and South streets, the water early in the evening was almost even with the cellar doorways of dwelling-houses, and bid fair to make basements untenable. We did not hear of any damage done by the deluge, although the foundations or many houses mast have been pretty well soaked. It may be possible that the heavy rain unloosed the toy fetters that have looked the mountain streams in the embrace of winter, and that terrible, sweeping, devastating freshets may ensue within the present twenty-four hours. In the year ]837, in the latter part of February, there *as a Similar condition of the "face of creation." A freshet took place, and the water in the Schuylkill rose, hr some parts, to the height of twenty or twenty-five feet, even as far south as Gray's Ferry Bridge. Hugo cakes of field Ice were carried across overflowed meadows, and some pieces of the Cold Commodity were caught in the branches of pretty tall trees. At that time the southern part or the First ward, League Island, and Adjacent ground, some of it alder El, were submerged to the depth of from five to twenty feet. There was Immense des. eltruotion of property. We paid a visit to Fairmount last everting, and at nine o'clook the water appeared to be rising over the dam at that celebrated and romantic place. The water in the Delaware Was Unusually high, and still rising at a later hour. REPORT OF FIRE MARSHAL BLACKBURN Fire Marshal Blackburn has presented his report for the past year to Mayor Henry. From it we glean as follows: The memory of the oldest chronicler of fires runs back to no period in the history of such events when they were so frequent, as well as so destructive, as during the year 1864. In both the Old and New World the fire-fiend held a demoniac carnival, re veling in conflagrations and explosions. In Ame rica, the occurrence of fires last year was of remark able frequency, and many of the conflagrations were unusually disastrous. The losses were enor. =IC s and entirely unprecedented. From statistics Collected from the most reliable records, the total loss by burning in the United States is estimated at not lees. than $66,000,000. In the Northern States alone, during the month of July, whloh was memo• rable for ravages by fire everywhere, property was consumed to the amount or upwards of 85,000,000, lunch of which oomprired the most important GO- Torment works and storehouses, together with valuable private manufacturing and business es tablishments. These deplorable calamities are clearly attrtbata tio to two causes. First, the demoralized condition of society, growing out of the sad war that unhap pily aftlicts the land, engendered a spirit of diaboll oal incendiarism which, in a number of localities, accomplished an immense amount of mischief. Second, a severe and long - protracted summer drought. For sixty days, between the latter part of May and latter part of July, there fell only two inches and a-half of rain, wtdie the rays of the sun were intensely hot, and there was a constant preva lence of westerly winds. Everything - combustible, by this extreme aridity of the atmosphere, reached DO high a degree of inflammability, that the /lightest spark sufficed to kindle a tire that was sure to Spread with the rapidity of lightning and the fury pi the whirlwind. The total number of fires during the past year In this city was 394. Of this number 348 were acci dental; 46 the work of incendiaries, and 8 of un known origin. The following were the causes of the accidental fires: Sparks on shingle roofs, 48; carelessness, 34 ; fireworks, 30; children playing with •mittches, ; lightS, ; stoves, 23; furnaces, 18 ; spontaneous oombustlon, 17 ; defective flues, 16; foul chimneys, 13; smoking, 9; gas explosions, 8; sparks from burning buildings, 7; drying apparatus, 0 ; heat of steam hollers, 6 ; hot ashes, 6; sparks from steam fire engines, 6; bonfires, 6; lightning, 6; Iris tion of machinery, 4; drunkards, 4; explosion of Steam boilers, 4; hot roasted coffee, 8; reckless con struction, 8 ; stills, 3 ; burglars, 3 ; sparks from 1000- motives, 2 ; bursting of vitriol carboys, 2 ; ovens, 2 ; cigar stumps In wooden spittoons tilled with saw dust, 2 ; kilns, 2 ; mice, 2; vagrants, 2; steam- Plpe, 1 . the aggregate losses and Insurances foot up as follows : Estimated loss Insurance Loss over Insurance $.112,472 on Nearly half of the total lose for the year was In July, during which month 78 fires occurred. Four fires were caused by lunettes ) and more than half of the fires were the work of thoughtless and mis chievous juveniles. The principal tires of the year were the burning of the drug.will of Thomas & Co., in Now Market Street, near Germantown avenue, on the rooming of the 14th of January ; the candle works or Grant ak Co., corner of Twenty-third and Hamilton Streets, on the afternoon of the 20th of April ; the coal-oil dittiliery cf Crew & Brother, oorneeof Twenty-third and Arch streets, on the 19th of May ; Nixon's pa per mill, Alensymak, Twenty first ward, on the eve nirg of the 20th 01 July ; Simons' wagon works, Second Rut Cumberland streets, on the evening of the 22t1 of the same month; Selene' mill, Nana, gunk, on the morning or the 29th of September; and the kerosene oil refinery of Carr & O'Neill, cor ner of Twenty.second and Washington streets, on the evening of the 19th of December. Thy se fires swallowed up property to the value of 3800;000, or, nearly two-thirds of the whole annual loss. A quarter of a million of this sum was list by the demolition of the U. S. National Wagon Works, an et tablistreent which, with its spacious buildings, extensive machinery, and immense piles of valm able 'Umber, covered an area of five acres. Tee burning of tele mammoth manufactory was one of the fiercest and most terrifies conflagrations ever be held, the spectacle it presented being at once grand and awful The other destructive fires of the year were the burning of CI. W. Wootten'e coal oil lamp store, in Second etreet,,above Meeting, on the afternoon of the lbth of February; the coopering establishment of John S. Curby, and adjoining buildings, on Penn and Larkin streets, on the morning of the 18th of the same month; Pettit's mill, corner of Ninth and Wallace streets, on the morning of the 27th of march; Cares umbrella frame manufactory, cor ner of Twelfth and Willow streets, on the afternoon of the 24th of May •, the Summerl block of stores, 'Water street, above Arch, on the morning of the ad of Jung ;• Reeves' bedstead factory, St. John street, above Willow, on the morning of the Ist of July; Flack's fruit preserving vsults Landing avenue, on the morning of the Bth of the s ame month; Brown's shoddy mlll, Moore street., near Second, on the after. noon of the 4th of September; Williams' venitian blind mannfirotory, and adjoining establishments, Sixth street, abOve market, on the morning of the 20th of November. The number of arrests for the year, on the charges of arson, attempted arson, and suspicion of arson, was forty-seven. Among the convictions In the Criminal Court were the cases of two female domes lice, one white and the other colored, who robbed the houses where they were employed and then set pre to them to destroy the evidence of their guilt. There was , only one clearly ascertained Incendiary tire, perpetrated for the purpose of defrauding un derwriters. The moral elfeotof the wholesome ex amples made of the/ class of offenders by the vigi lance and perseverance of the fire detective branch Wits pollee has exceeded my expectations. Fires from sparks on Shingle roofs were untlanally numerous, particularly In the warm season. The cause was readUy ascertained. The high piles of fuel necessitated hundreds of .poor people to gather from work-shops, lumber-yards, ship.housee, new buildings, wrecks of otd or burnt properties, and wherever elsesthe stuff was to be had, all kinds of refuse materials, such as shavings, chips, wood-out tinge, decayed lumlier, Soo., and this trash was nib atituted altogether for boats, coke, and cordwood to boll the tea-kettle, orneok a hurried meal. In the summer menthe nearly all thine fires happened about the hour of either breakfast, dinner, or supper. Defective and dirty chimneys likewise swelled the list of roof fires. In Philadelphia, chimney sweep lug has well nigh become a thing of the past. As - to defects in the flues, arising from faulty masonry and other causes, they are so common that It Is reallysurprising to me that scores of houses are not burn where one takes lire. There is hardly a s aqua of dwellings In the city, excepting blocks of recent erection, in which cannot be discovered some chimney in anunsafe condition. A stringent statute or ordinance, compelling owners of tonne to keep the chimneys clean and safe, would insure the needed protection to life and property, and an nually save to underwriters and housekeepers thou- Hines of dollars. And to enforce the provisions of such a law, there ought, in the opinion of the -fire marshal, to boa chimney Inspector appointed. 7 he increase in the number of oases of spontaneous .oaMbustionle easily explained. The exigencies of 'the present civil war have led to the production of shoddy In quantities never before dreamed of, and - the quality of most of the rage worked up in the mills ill anything else than choke. Begs of them are not Only filthy and greasy, but reeking with -disease. Much of the waste also now in the market is foul In the, extreme, end often stored when damp. - The weather too, last summer and 'fall was pecu liarly favorable to the singular chemical action that • causes natural ignition. - tfitTee number of tires from Inciters in the hands of children Is s ill large, but it Is to be hoped that the advanced rates for these hazardous plaj things may hereafterittiii:togreater care being taken of them, and that the accidents they so frequently occasion . may diminish accordingly. _Examinations ,snip ta e facts and circumstances -attending , the' fires ' that are sontinually breaking out in stables, 'and now and then roasting alive poor dumb beasts; have claimed a good deal of my time and attention, and, from the testimony ob tained,- the gorolosion arrived at le, that In many cases of tlubfe mishaps. the harm le not done by in ten diarles,,,ifs' le generally supposed, but by careless men and redkiess boys, with matches, pipes, eigars, and open ligtain Instead of secure lanterns, with% ought always to ho carried in stalls and lofts where there is halt and straw, it is , no uncommon thing to UFO keroesne i and fluid lamps and tallow candies. A porter bottle Is a convenient substitute for a eon: diestiok and sometimes the candle is stuck solnat the wall. A shield over a lamp is deemed a use. aesa precaution, Netting could be mote treat lor one than a spark falling into the litter of a stable. Numbers of stablemen drink, and some of them are eoarcely ever sober, and these bad habits 'add to the chances of accident. When closely questioned by the Fire Illarahali it Is amazing how they will Ile and deceive, and try to keep back the truth; In ordot to congeal their carelessness. To cheek this growing Mischief, t would recommend the imme• diet. passage by Councils of an ordinance making It a penalty of rive dollars to take an open light of any kind into a stable or barn. Neat to that strange and mysteriOnS proses. Of nature, chemical action, in thb produotlon of fires,. the most Insidious agent is hot ashes. They will retain Lest for weeks, and start combasion at the moment least anticipated. Neither an ash boa nor an ash barrel is ever safe an Instant on one's pre• mites, especially if placed on a wooden floor or against a frame wall or board partition. Many Of the tires, the commencement of which Is wrapped in mystery, come from depositing heated ashes In wooden boxes. $2O 00 ?A 00 10 00 200 5$ 00 5 00 10 00 4 00 7 60 There were nine steam boiler explosions within the limits of the Consolidated city in 1864, four or which were accompanied by trtfllog burnings. Two of then explosions—that at the foundry of Merrick & Son, comer of Fifth and Washington streets, on the Bth of April, and the one at the chandelier manufactory of Cornelius & Baker, in Cherry street, above Eighth, on the morning of the 28th of the came month. The incorporation by the last Legislature of the .Petroleum btorage Company of Philadelphia will, I hope, in time, at least diminish, If It does not al• together prevent, coal•oil firer. A bout illoo,ooo of the losses in our city, for 1864, were from the Igni tion of petroleum and benzine, while the total toes by fires kindled by the torch of the inoendiary did not amount to half of that sum. The injury to hones and goods by the unnecessary nee of water Is referred to. This mischief has grown to be a grave evil, and there are loud calls for its abatement. A verylarge per tentage of the losses at many of the fires that are constantly °Courting, is chargeable to this reckless mismanagement. Where underwriters have to make g . OOO all these damages, it is bad enough, but it is far worse when, as is often times the ease, the losers are poor people who have no insurance. $4,109 08 Scores of Instances of the folly and shame of wantonly deluging stores, flooding dwellings. con verting stairways into foaming cascades and minha Lure cataracts, overflowing cellars, and swelling gutters to rivulets for the distance of squares, might be enumerated, but 1 do not desire to say a word more than is regulate° to arrest that attention which, It is hoped, may lead to reform. The Fire department of Philadelphia Is an Intel ligent body of men, and they know, without my tell lug them, that this Injudicious management at fires is not only discreditable to the high character they have always maintained among their fellow-4MI - but is actually the greatest drawback to the efficiency and success of their noble calling. For it has been clearly demonstrated that, the greater the number of steamers in service at any one tire, the less execution will each apparatus do. The street mains, In the moat favored localities, are inns. gable of affording the supply of water necessary for the effective working of more than a dozen steamers at one and the same time. Where a larger number are In full play, the Insufficiency of the water supply is soon visible, and a diminution in the effectivtness of each machine observable at a glance, particularly if there are two or more attach ments, or a long line of forcing hose leading from it. Where high buildings are burning, some of the streams cannot resell further than the second or third stories, besides being deflotent In volume and weak in force. What is worse still, when too many steamers are working, the flow of the aqueous elte meat Is sure to fall at the plugs nearest to the scene of conflagration. Nowhere have the bad streets of this supers nbundanee of steam power at fires been more strikingly apparent 'than at the burning of the Meartne candle works of Messrs. Grant fir. Co., in the Fifteenth ward, last spring. Here, when the section hose of a steamer drained a ping, and Streams became powerless, the failure of the liquid Was Charged to a deliolenoy of the supply in the Fairmount basin, but It turned out that the water used on that occasion did not come from this re eerveir at all, the Corinthian-avenue basin sum plying every drop, and both reservoirs being fall l When, in February, 1855, the experimental trial of the Miles Greenwood, the first steam tireseingine ever seen in our city, came off, in presence of the municipal authorities at Dookatreet wherf,'and Its excellent performance was saluted with groans, and the members of that old and respectable organiza tion, the Philadelphia Hose Company', No. 1, under Whose patronage the exhibition took place, were hooted at by their brother firemen, and narrowly escaped a shower of brickbats, for their marked in telllgence and , progressive , spirit, who that wit nessed the scenes of that waltremembered day, could then have believed that, ere ten years had elapsed, the department, going tire-engine mad, would have in operation more than two score of Steamers 1 Yet such a marvellous (Mange has been realized. And more. The mania continues to rage. The doors of the Counoll Chambers are still besieged by associations Raking to be located either as Steam fire-engine or steam forcing-hose companies. When and where the thing is to Stop It confounds me to tell. Your Rotor's veto has been interposed, but In vain. If we keep on adding to the steam power Of the department, without check or limit, I am afraid that this great fireo•extingulaning agency, the advent of which was so cordially balled by our OW gene, will itself defeat the very object of Its crew. tiOn, and instead of being any longer welcomed as a preserver, will be dreaded as a destroyer of pro- Forty. The Chief Engineer already finds himself embar rassed by this overgrowth of the steam arm of the department. The weapon Is getting unwieldy, and difficult to control. A volunteer fire department, whatever may be its advantages, and however proud its past record, is an irresponsible bedy. Perfeot discipline in snob an association cannot be expected. Whether the aye tem is any longer adapted to the wants of a great metropolis like Philadelphia, is a question which I had rather refrain from discussing in thin report. The expression of my own opinion I prefer to re. serve for a future communication. There 13 DOW an effort being made in New York to change the vo lunteer system to a paid fire department. Our City Fathers, guided by public sentiment., will doubtless give to the subject such consideration as its import ance demands. Yesterday morning, about three o'clock, fire broke out in a double three-storied frame dwelling, Nos. 931 and 933 south Tenth street. No. 931 was occu pied by Conrad Ryan, and was considerably da maged. No. 988 was occupied by Peter Barker. The whole upper portion of the building was con sumed, and much damage was done by water. The premises were owned by Mr. Patrick Sweeney. The fire was the work 01 an Incendiary, who reach ed the premises through a back alley, tore off some weather-boarding near a window on the lower floor, and then stuffed in rage saturated with coal oil. The 1058 will reach $l,OOO. No Insurance. It may be stated with some degree of certainty that Mr. and Mrs. Whitfield, an old couple, and a daughter twenty-three years of age, who occupied one of the houses in the burnt distriet;perished in the flames during the great conflagration In the Second ward on the morning of the Bth inst. It is supposed that not one of them escaped from the house, but were burnt to death in it, and their re mains, falling into the heated ruins, were entirely destroyed. The same may be said as is the re mains of the two Misses Ware. Thus we have re duced to what may be considered certain the per ishing of ten htiman.beings on that sad, eventful Morning, five charred bodies having been recovered, and five lost to sight. INVESTIGATION , COMMITTEE FOR THE RE LIEF OF SUFFEREBB. The investigating comMittee, appointed to In vestigate the claims of the sufferers by the resent conflagration, are in session daily at the House of Industry, in Catharine street, eouth.side, between Seventh and Eighth. It is the especial business of this committee to hear the statements of claimants for any portion of the_neral hind contributed general voluntarily by citizens for their relief. It is sug gested that unworthy persons may apply for relief. If this should be the case, any knowledge of such persons should be communicated to the committee at the earliest moment, Temporary relief has al ready been afforded, but the committee will probably make their report this evening. $969,219 00 646.277 00 CORONER'S INVESTIGATION RELATING TO THE RECENT DISASTROUS FIRB--TEIR 'VER DICT OF THE JURY.

The coroner here stated that he bad no more wit messes, and therefore would submit the testimony as he had produced lt, upon which the jury might find a verdict. The room being cleared, the following verdict was agreed Upon : The jury And that Famdei Plettrfood, Rebecca Ware, Barbara Ware, Ann. Ware, and Isabella Ware came to their death on Wednesday morning, February 8111 Inst., In Calgeolence of the burning of a large Quantity of relined petroleum. stowed under sheds on a lot fronting on Washington avenue, west of Ninth street, the said petroleum being bonded in the name of Blackburn & Co. The jury also find there was not due care taken in the grading Of the yard where this petroleum was stored This. bowsyer, may be attributed to the opinion of Blackburn & Co., who did not, at any time, apprehend aro danger from fire, as refitted coal oil cannot ignite until It becomes heated to CO or 114 degrees. The jury deem it proper to say. in regard to the evi dence elicited on the Bret day of investigation. which seemed to indirectly implicate John O'Connell bectuee of certain remarks alleged to have been made by him in reference to water &lepton' from the ott sheds. that inch an accueation arising from said remarks is entirely unjustifiable. The jury firmly believe that the fire was the work of an incendiary ai present not publicly known. The jury take this opportunity to suggest to the legis lative authorities of the State and the city to enact such wholesome. well-digestedlaws as will entirety prevent a reonrrence of such a conflagration, while at the same time they should Shield or protect the great commercial in interest regard to petroleum. The jury further suggest that the city authorities offer at once a large reward for the apprehension and conviction of the incendiary who caused the disastrous fire on the morning of the Bth inst., by which human lite wag lost.

Mr Brewster appealed to the Judge Advocate to tames the book to beproduced. The Judge Adeo sate aeked if the book contained any stabile mattere which were necessary to be kept secret, and he rep fed in the affirmative. Mr. Brewster said if the book contained the records of Governmeut affairs it could be covered up. Pieces of paler could be paeteti over it if necessary ; but certainly the accused bad a right to see the memorandum from wb'ch the witness had sworn. The Judge Advocate thought it was the privilege of the witness to heap the book sealed. The law addneed by the 00111181:1 in the case was certainly unusual area In Pennsylvania.

LIBEL SUIT AGAINST THE PITBLIBEIBICS OP THE SUNDAY DISPATCH. lieb eHoWell Ens ns TS Lawl O/ or. Ev . erett, & Hincken, pub f tSunday Dpatch This was an action to recover damages for an alleged libel which appeared in the Sunday Dispatch of Mayl7, 1813, embodied in an article of that date, entitled "Arch street Presbyterisn'OhnrchTroubles. " That portion of it to,whieb exception is taken by plaintiff, he being the only elder of the church, and which ho alleges is the. lone, and reflects upon Ida character for integrity, is as follows: " The arch street Church, in its present bands, has been a thrifty and thriving concern. During the twelve years it has been in existence under that title it has maneged to pay all Its debts, as honest people should dot it bag made. gteadve and expensive Alterations and repairs in the church, end paid for them; it has sup ported its ministers handsomely; and there is no know ing how much money haabeen collected and expended for objects connected with the church generally, for the sole evangelical elder was in the habit of collecting and disbursing church funds without rendering any account of their amount.' The ears was briefly opened by Mr. B. H Brewster for the plaintiff, and 1t being admitted that the defen dants were the publishers of the Dispatch, several witnesses were called, who wore members of the church at the date of the article, to show the 'merge nce produced by it upon their minds. • They were meeer.. AgnaW, Snodgrass, and Coolidge, who testified that they believed the article referred to Mr. Evans, because he was then the sole ruling eider of the church, sad that they regarded it as reflecting upon hie financial Integrity In the distribution of the funds, of which, as such elder, he had exclusive control: in tact. Implying that be had unfaithfully and dishonestly discharged the t met reposed in him The defence, as opened by Mr. Phillips, was that the article in question was substantially true, but that the Canes therein to which exception is taken was not in tended to bear nor was it susceptible of the interptel a- Con alleged by plaintiff. The only Idea intended to be conveyed was that the ruling elder had not conformed to the rules and regulations of the church, requiring that yearly reports of the disposition of the funds in his bands, as the 'sessions" of the church In the absence of the pastor had been disregarded. This alone was • meant, and not teat be had tinfaittifalle discharged hie trust or misappropriated the feeds. The 3d section of the MI by-law for the government of the church which requires these reports to to made, was given in evi dence. J. Sergeant Price was then sworn.—By him the de fence proposed to show that the matters stated In the article bad occurred, and were substantially true aa re lated. This was obi. oted to by Mr Brewster as incom petent under the pleadings In the case. The defendants had here entered a general plea of not guilty. In order to enable them to give evidences, to the truth of the libel, they should have put In a plea of juatification The judge sustained the object'. n. Mr. Price was then examined as to the impression produced tiros' his mind by the objectionable article, and t aid that he did not understand it as reflecting in the slightest degree upon plaintiff's character for integri ty, but winded solely to his neglect and failure to com ply with the rule requiring report e to be made yearly. Dr. Conan,J. C. Baker, W. 8. Stewart. R. H Howard. and severa l othr tettetees and members of the church also testified that the article wag so understood and re garded by them. Caspar Sender was then called, and testified that he was the reporter of the Sunday Dispatch, and that he Lad general charge of the local department, In which was It eluded the religions intelligence; that Mr. Law , and Mr. Everett, two of the proprietors, were, at the - • 6 -, the publication of the article, &maned to their and. the latter fro en beds. th e fire .

Upon cross-examination the witness declined w "" ewer the questions whether he himself wrote the ar ticle. or whether he knew who wrote it, for the yea eon that by so doing be might criminate himself, and was sustained by the Court In sech recital .He and tint be bad rec.ived informatton as to the faeteetated •In the article.
