SEASONABLE HINTS.
We should care but very little about

cision involved only the characters OF the
litigant parties. If one officer has done
an injury to brother officer, and he is
punished by the righteous judgment OF a
and condemnation, with the most calous
indifference. Blu! it is the mischief, he

ries aad Investigations, that we protest
against, and mourn Tor the consequences.
Let US state this thing in plain and per
spicuous manner jealous trieno OF the
naval establishment, reads an account OF
the condemnation Of naval officer, by.
naval court martial, on the complaint OF a
brother Officer. He rejoices at the deci-
sion, because he conceives that in all such
institutions, subordlnation is essential to the
seryice-that the institution itself would
be destroyed without proper discipline.
On this ground he is pleased to find, that
impartial justice has been done He ex-
poets to behold the naval spirit rise with
disciplined energy from the shock.-But
very different ideas are entertained, by
hose hostile to to-. naval establishmen at

for violation of his duty, because they
wish to render the navy itself unpopular.

E. A FIRE brake out last evening IN the
wooden store houses Of Henry Waring,
ESQ on bis wharf at Brooklyn, opposite
the Coffee House slip. consisting Of two or
three extensive buildings and sheds, and
one or two small dwelling houses, which
we're entirely consumed in short time,
together with the houses on the opposite
sile Of the street, bemg two or three in
number. OF incon,iderahle value.
An extensive stone fire proof warehouse
on the south side of the wharf, withstood
the intense heat Of the flames and was
saved. The buildings were leased and
occupied by Capts Merry and Waite.
Ii was computed last evening, that the
Buildings contained about 10000 barrels
naval stores, and probably 1900 10 400
bales of cotton, none Of which was saved.
The amoun, ot loss. including the build
ings, cannot be much short of n l0Q, 900.
This great body Of combustible matter,
rendered the flames peculiarly grand. ana
illuminated all the east part OF the city.

It is believed the fir was caused ny an
.incendiary, as no FIRE or candle has been
