But we must say that if Dr. Griscom be guillotined,
we will lose the most competent City Inspector we
have had for many years. He has reduced the whole
business of his important Office to great degree OF
system and efficiency, and has opened up communi-
cations with the police authorities of London and
Paris, which were calculated to lead to the most
important and sevceabe resultsin his branch Of the
police Of this city.
DIR. Griscom is a man of great talent, and afforded
the most satisfactory evidence in his last report of
his competency to introduce many important re-
forms, and contribute largely to the improvement of
the sanitary condition of the city. His sugges-
tons for the removal and abatement of many nui
sances-the Fbetter regulation of interments-the
melioration of the condition of the poorer classes
and many other important subjects, were highly ju-
dicious and should be carried out
ANOTHER FIRE CAUSED BY SPARKS FROM Loco.
MOTIVE OF THE L. l. RAnRoAD.-A destructive fire
broke out on Monday morning last in the town of
lslet, on Nicholas Patent, which DESTROYED wood to
to the value of $4,000 to $4,000, burning over a
space full seven miles square. There were from
1900 to 1000 cords of wood ready for market burnt
belonging to the inhabitants, which falls heavily on
them at this time, it being their main dependence
to meet the payments On their farms, the nhabi-
ants Of that section depending entirely for subss-
tence on the fisheries Of the coast. There should
be some law passed either to make the Railroad
Company responsible for these occurrences, or to
compel them to use the necessary means to pre-
vent them. The burning of the above fire was the
light seen from the Sound boats few days since,
that caused so much establishment
BISHOP HUGHES AND THE CHURCH OF ST.. LOUIS OF
BUFFALo.-A correspondent, who Processes to know,
states, in nearly three pages, that the difficulty be-
tween the Bishop and the Trustees of the church of
st. Louis, has not been settled, and the matter re-
mains in statu quo ante belium. Be il so. We state
the same thing in three lines, wishing that our
Catholic friends would mix little Christian love
with this controversy-it will do it no harm.

A STRKE.-The sailors have struck for higher
wages. They get $l3, but they demand $l5. The
