We hear that two drafts, of our Treasurer
were protested this week-one for 81 and anoth-~
er for $4,000. ReasOn-no funds.
1t is notorious, that the Treasury is empty, and
that the Legislature authorized loan OF $780,.
600 until next December, from the Banks or in
dividuas. This sum was deemed necessary to
pay the interest on the public debt, and deiray
current expenses Of the Government. Indiyidu
ais, OF course, would not, If they could, take q
loan OF such short duration. The only recourse
was then to the Banks. Whether these institu-
tons will loan the money, We cannot say. How
they can do 1t, In justice to thepeople, who need
all the facilities the Banks supply, or in JUS
tice TO themselves, with view to resumption in
November, we cannot pretend to explain.
Inc inquiry would predicate on the state Of
our finances, is this: Is Virginia, with pro-
tested Treasury draft Of 81, in condition to re-.
fuse her quota of the Land money ! Ought not

the Enquirer, to feel lille for the ere dit of his

ments all over the city. So much furniture as is
daily sold would supply the demands OF new
housekeepers tor many years. Many people are
taking board, and there is general tendency in
rents, provisions, boarding, &c. gradually to de-

GREAT FIRE IN NEW YORK.

very destructive fire occurred in the CITY OF
New York on Thursday. The accounts in the
newspapers vary much as to the number of build.
lngs destroyed-some stating it at 60 TO 20, and
others at nearly 200. The Tribune says tina,
there is no doubt that three young children per-
lshed in the flames. The loss of property is es-
timated at over $25O,0G0. The Post says
1t is supposed that about fifteen hundred fami-
lies were turned upon the streets by this conla-
grafton 1t was melancholy sight to see the poor
wretches--men women and chdren-thus sud-
denly deprived of home, wandering about the
ruins, crying and screaming some for the loss of
their property, and others for the imagined loss of
their friends and children. The larger part of
Them were poor families, and many, for the want
OF Shelter were compelled to lodge out of doors.

Sheathing Copper.
T.he Ed,t.r Of The Tri5sns.

Z
have read your remark. of TIN. morning on tho
subject Of aduty on Sheaihng Copper and | think
you are under wrong impression.
The case is briefly this: ship has TO be shcathed
with copper and change her shcathng thereafter,
once in about every three years. If ship changes
her copper in New-York, tho money expended
iere aside from the cost OF the metal constitute
nearly onehalf the entire expense and this mo-
ney goes to our very valuable Marine Railways,
and to the half dozen or more trades connected
herewith.
On referring to bills CT slipunder my manage
ment find the entire expense Of changing her
copper, was s2,3l9.
OF this .um-the expenditure Othsr ihan for
metal was 81 ,094
Now. duty of cents ID. would have turned
the scale in favor OF changing her copper IN Liver
pool, in which case this OUTLAY Of sl,Osi, would
have gone to Liverpool pockyard.
Ii should farther be borne in mind that the oc-
casion u Restraining Is not unfrcquently improved
for going into general fitting up and this occuPa-
ton employs thousands upon thousands all along
our sea-bosrd.
There are bs, four OF five establishments for roll
ing copper in the United States they do not EN-.
poy many hands, and have grown rich in the bust.
ness without any duty.
In the event Of duty, these few copper rollers
nigh, corner" our whole ships, and also our pilot
boats. and some craft that are not in the way of
being sent to Europe; but tie duty would add very
little indeed to our revenue, and be exdciy ~ cO--
