Express : Tram.- Protection against_Fire. On Monday - evening a i adjourned meeting of fireman, composed of three members from each company; assembled at Vigilant Hall, for taking measures to better protect our city against fire.- A committee appointed at a re cent meeting presented a rough draft of an act of Assemtily, providing for the creation of an indePendent fire district, the election of one tire director from each company, the negotiation by councils of a loan of $20,000, on "tire fund bitmds," running from one to twenty years, the levying of a tax of one mill on the dollar on` all iinproved property in the city limits, and the creation of a sinking fund. It is pro posed to disburse the $20,000 in purchasing tire plugs, hose and apparatus, and in organizing a fire departnient on an eiTicient footing. The proposed tax wOuid produce a revenue - of $lO,- 000, to bo applied, after the payment'of the bonds falling - doe each year; andlhe interest on the remainder, to the expenses of the de partment and the creation of a sinking fund. The draft was not completed, and the meet ing adjourned to convene on Friday night, when the committee will report. The project seems -to be a plausible one, and would, if properly carried out, add very materially to the security of property in our city. We trust our citizens -may, when the matter is properly beforwthem, give all due encouragement to the project. &PREII E COETRT.—Before Chief Justice Low - rie and Judges Thompson, Strong and Head. , .

Messrs. Murdoch and ShaW.'obtained judgment in the Common Pleas, and the case was taken to the Supreme Court by the Commissioners, only, as appears above, to-have tho legality of the claim confirmed.

Four new buildings, '(stores, with dwellings above,) are in "course of erection on the south side, near Stevenson street,one is just completed near Van Bram street, and others still further out, while the new Methodist chapel is a fine building, adding much to the general appearance of the street. If the pavements were better, and the stagnant ponds on either side filled up,the value of property would be much increased. The attention of the City Fathers has frequently been called to both, and it is time something was done. Perhaps these grievances will be remedied when Pennsylvania Avenue shall be opened out to Fifth street, a desirable consurn • mation which, it is hoped, may be reached " in the course of human events." BLUFF STREET, in the Eighth ward, on the brow of the hill along the bank of the Monon gahela river, begins to look like a street in reality. Very heavy grading has been and is bein4 done, and it is now' opened out nearly as far as the new street which is being opened up from Pennsylvania Avenue. In some places twenty feet of the bill have been cut away. Within a year some three or four now build ings have been erected, and the spot is appa rently a delightful one for residences, with abundance of pure air. Gas mains are also being laid. The workmen commenced at the city lime,opposite the residence of Oliver Black burn, Esq., and are progressing citywards.— Persons intending to put up city residences should turn their attention to this locality, as in our mind it is, or soon will be, a most de sirable one. RELIEF RIWINF. HOUSE.—This building, on Pennsylvania Avenue, Eighth ward, is sadly in need of repair. It was struck by lightning some time since, and the damage to the roof has never been repaired, leaving the upper room, for meetings, in a bad, in fact untena ble,:r•oondition. The engine room is also in need of repair. The members of the company claim that they have no proper place to take care of their hose, although if they are not more fortunate than the remainder of the Fire Department, this is a minor objection, as but little of our city hose is worth caring for. The appropriate committee of Councils have under consideration a resolution awarding $3OO for repairs to the building. This sum would place it, in 'good condition, and it is to be hoped the committee will consider the neces sities of the case, and give this deserving com pany the relief they desire. RESIGNATION .A.!..TD APPOINTMENT.—We learn, by the Cincinnati• Daily Commercial, that-Mr. J. D. Potts, late Superintendent of the Western Division of the Pennsylvania Central Road, has resigned that office, in order that he may devote his entire time to the Pitts burgh, Steubenville and Columbus line, of which he is the Vice President. Mr. Andrew Camaigae has been,appointed to fill the place of tir. Potts:on - the Pennsylvania,,Cential. Mr. J. B. Anderson; late General Superin tendent of the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago Railroad, has also been tendered. the pet of Superintendent of the. Louisville and Nashville Railroad, but has not yet accepted, as iar as we have learned. HELD co As Weaier yester day held John A.,Strain to bail on the charge of assault to kill, preferred by Charles L. Dabney, after a hearing, for trial at court. Mrs. Cramer did not desire to prosecute him for the attempted violence of her person, but the Mayor was not disposed to allow her 'td withdraw, and adjourned the further hearing of the matter until this morning at ten o'clock. Strain will also have a hearing before Alder- Man -Lewis this afternoon on,a charge of strik ing William Rooney with a brick, on Fifth street, unless ,he;ke.committed.py the Mayor on the more serious oWeigti. IIIIIIIII:MEI THE KNIFE-GRINDER In these melancholy days of universal phi lanthropby, when pikes and patent:rifles are thrust into the hands of Sembos, with the pa triotic advice to "do or die," it may be well to republish the "Knife-Grinder" of Canning, which in few words hits off the morbid affec tation of psuedo-philanthropby, better than a sermon seriously droned : Friend of Humanity : "Needy .

THE ESTADLI:4IMENT FOR THE most remarkable instance of the success which attends fair dealing in business matters, as in everything else, is furnished us in the extraor dinary popularity which Clark's Gift Book Store has achieved in so short a time, and the extent to which it has acquired the'eonfidence of a discerning and appreciative public. Every day the establishment is crowded, and though the sales .are enormous, and the pat rons of the house embrace all classes of peo ple—people easily to be pleased and difficult to Please--,:tingy people and liberal people---peo ple with abundance of means, and people not quite so well to do in the world--we have yet to hear the first to complain of the establish ment, or to deny what is pretty well under stood abroad now, that its terms are beyond all precedent, and such as should com mand for it the most liberal; support. We ask our readers to give Mr. Clark -a call and jedge for themselves. Every book in the establish ment is marked at the lowest figure, while each purchaser receives a gift worth frnm lifty cents to fifty dollars. Watches,' silk dresses and other valuable articles are given away every week, and will continue to be given away until further notice. If you would in vest your money to advantage, then, call at Clark's at once. lie charges nothing Air an examination of his stock, and is always happy to see his - friends. Drop in and see him soon and often, and while you will get the worth of your money in whatever you purchase, you may also be the recipient of a silk dress for your wife, a shawl or a watch for yourself, or some other valuable article. Clerk is, in short, the man for the times—the Napoleon of booksellers—and as such he richly merits the support extended him. Remember the num ber, 63 Market street, and pay him a visit soon. A "TEMPLE or TILE DRAMA" CLOi.E.D.— ! Most of our readers know that an establish ment for the entertainment of the populace, on Grant street, called the "Boothenian, ' has been much in vogue. We tire unable to inform our readers es to the character of the entertain ments, but have heard it hinted that they were of the "model artiste" order, interspersed with Shaspearoan recitations and playa. Yester day, Mayor Weaver notified the teenager and proprietress, T. C. Jones and Id'is. Lizzie Dewitt, more familiarly known as Lizzie Wart, that, having failed to pay their city license they must not again perform. They called upon hint and asked indulgence, but he was inexorable, whereupon they promised to close the establishment, which was accordingly done, doubtless much to the chagrin of its frequenters.

They have been scattered all around the busi ness portion of the city, and have deceived the very best judges of paper money in the com munity.
