Fire in .vsw York, and loss OF lifs. On
Wednesday morning of last week about
o'clock, the stable Of J. Murphy owner Of the
Bowery stages, in Eleventh street, took fire,
and the combustibllty of the materials caused
the flames to spread so rapidly, that out Of
forty-two horses, only twelve could be saved;
the others perished in the fire, and what is
even more appalling, three out of the four
men who slept in the stable are missing, Of
whom two certainly, and it is feared a.tfird,
were consumed with the horses. Mr.. Murphy
lost seven stages, besides his horses, har-
nesses, &c. worth $4,000, on which there was
no insurance.

Led by falling in globules of the size of buck

a meeting Of the friends of Temperate,
vas held on Tuesday evening. at the Lcctur,
tooln Of the North Baptist Church in ihi'
own, and Society organized by the adop
ion ofa Constitution on the principle of En-
ire Abstinence from the use of all intoxicat
hg Liquors as beverage. The following
(ersons were chosen officers of the Society:

Benz. Marsh jr. Hice- President;
Direclors-Richard Shaw, Samuel Pratt
oshua Wilbour, James A. Greene, William
]. Read.
Cornelius b. Wilbour, Treasurer;
Ephraim Sheldon, Secretary.
The following Resolutions were subse
uently unanimously adopted by the Society:
Resoirrd, That as the temperance reform
|ontemplates the determination of intempe-
|ance among us, it becomes those who es.
|ouse its true interest, to renounce all fellow
mp with intoxicating liquors of whatever
|nme or power:-And whereas the great OBJ
|ct of this reform was the removal OF drunk
f''SS"S ""o S"PSS'"iis VIC PiSSCiN"t"H '" WIG
bber, and the pledge Of abstinence from
|stilled liquor merely, is found TO be INSULT +.
ent fully to accomplish that object, and is
|aught with peculiar danger to the drunk
Fd-Therefore
Resolved, That it is in the view Of this So
|ety, very desirable that the pledge of all
temperance Societies should comprehend
Pstincnce from the use, as beverage, Of all
|toxicating liquors.
Resoiued, Tint this Society so far from dis.
buntcnancing those Temperance Societies
hich nre acting under the old pledge, that
~ accomplished so much good, distinctly
I'D cordially recognise them as fellow labo-
|rs.
Resolved, That it becomes indispensable to
speedy progress Of the Temperance cause,
at the patriot and the phifahfhropist, ard
|peciaLty the christian, should present before
|e world constant example of total abst-
fnce as common beverage from all intoxi-
ting drinks.

DEATH OF JOHN LANG. 1t is with an
affected sorrow that we record the death
of our highly esteemed fellow citizen,
JOHN LANG, Esq. editor of the New
York Gazette, in the 68th year of his
nge-an event that took place early in
the afternoon of Thursday, 18th inst
Mr.. Lang was the father Of the profess
sion in this city and starc-and has left
behind him but four others, we believe,
in the United States, connected with the
press, or who have been connected with
ii, who were his seniors either in age or
profession. These arc, the venerable
George Goodwin, Of the Connecticut
Courant; Major Benjamin Russell, late
Of the Boston Centinel; Col. Samuel
Green, Of the New London Gazette and
Mr.. Zachariah Poulson, Of the Ameri-
can Daily Advertiser, Philadelphia.
The illness Of which he died was in
duced by the great conAagration in De-
cember. Tie destruction Of his office
mid buildings, and the difficulties en-
countered in Immediately resuming bu-
siness, depressed his spirits, and brought
upon him nervous d Use ase which has
resulted in his death. Although his
means were not only ample but abundant,
the idea became fastened upon his mind
that he had been reduced TO poverty, and
lie sunk Under it. He has left to his
family, however, m unbIemished name,
and they have yet the stronger consola-
ton in The well-iounded belief, that he
was not called to meet his God without
that preparation which our religionteach-
es us is essential to the improvement Of
our condition herealter.- " Y. Com.
