Fire Dcparsnsens, !,

To THE PuBLIc:-The editor of the Journal of
Commerce." in his paper Of Thursday, publishes an
article in relation TO the Fire Department in which,
among other vuperatiens, he takes occasion say,
that he saw, on the previous day, Al the alarm OF
fire, No. 20, going mp the Park walk, without cap,
with the engine; and adds, that such conduct is a
nuisance TO the public, and disgrace to the Fire
Department. The members of the Com pany in ques-
ton feel much nattered at the genfienidRiy manner
in which their conduct has been rebuked; but they
beg leave TO say, that the Imagination Of the writer
has been rather stronger than his regard for truth
or, ia other words that the whole story IL false in
every particular with the exception that the engine
was run upon the Park walk. That there were caps
present at the time, susceptible Of proof and will
be proved, to thc satisfaction Of any who de esres
il. Whether the Company is a uisance TO the pub
lie, and disgrace to the Fire Department, or no,
jthey leave to that public and to that Department, to
udge. With their decision they will rest satisfied;
but they must protest against being stigmatized by
whom they never injured, and who could have
other object in injuring them, than the grati6ca
tion Of his natural malignity, and Of his hostl
ity to the Fire Department in general.
FRIEND TO THE COMPANY.
REnARKs.-The abuse Of the Reverend David
Hale, any other Reverend hypocrite, hardly de-
serves the notice Of any portion Of auy gallant Fire
Department on earth. There is Fire Department
"beyond that bourne whence no travellers return,'
which will fix the Reverend David one Of those dark
DAYS for all his libcls. That's enough.
