From the Brooklyn Advertiser.
THE NEW YORK MERCHANT,
Or. ANINCIDENT OF THE FIRE.


A gentleman ofthis city, learning ear
~ on Saturday that his store in New
York was in danger from the fire, hast
ened TO the scene Of destruction. On
arriving at his store he found that the fire
had already made considerable progress
in the building. He hesitated but for a
moment, and was about to spring up the
burning stairway when he was seized by
two or three bystanders, and asked if he
was a mailman to meet certain death so
rashly. Hold me not back, gentlemen,
he said, I'm not mad; but ! must and
will save my iron chest, though l perish
in the attempt. Then with sudden
effort he released himself from those
who, in kindness, would have held him
back, and ia a moment more he had
passed the burning staircase, and was
seen running from room to room despite
the blaze and smoke of the burning bull
ding. The key of his safe, it appears,
was not to be found in the usual place :,
and disappointed in not being able to OBJ
tain the contents he made an effort to
remove the safe itself; failing in this he
left the building, and wildly entreated
some Of the bystsnders to aid him. All
refused, for destruction seemed certain.
Again did he plunge amid the destruc.
tive element, he had scarcely reached
the spo: where stood the e,when two
men who had witnessed his previous eff
forts, persued, and vowed they would
stick byhim to the last. The crowd think
ing the men had gone for the purpose OF
rescuing the desperate man from his
dangerous purpose. shouted: KNOCK
him down'-'drag him out, hell be kill
ed!
With the assistance Of the two men,
the safe was dragged close to the hatch-
way, and the fall was about to be made
fast so as to lower it down when at the
moment the rear Of the store fell in
ward. A huge mass of smoke and flame
assembled on high, and the hosting ap-
paratus fell, some part Of the woodwork
having been burned away. A cry oil
horror broke from the witnesses of the
scene as the three men were envelopec
in smoke and fire g. hid from their view
Presently the two strangers emerged
from the building, and were greeted
with cheers by the crowd. The mer
chant it was thought, was irredeemabIy
lost; but not SO. He had fallen down il
a stupor; but quickly recovering, howev
or, he was seen-when the smoke con
sequent upon the falling in of he rea
wall, had cleared somewhat away b,
the chest, striving with all his might t.
tumble il down the hatchway. The PEG
pie collected around, were amazed ant
thought him crazy and invulnerabIe.-
The fire was above, bellows all aroun'
him, and how the merchant stood ther'
alive and apparently unhurt, was a mys
terry no one could explain On witness
ing his exertons at the chest, every one
held his breath land save the cracking

II rolled out at the door and fell into the
entrance ofthe basement. The merchant
was lost sight Of for moment, but soon
he stood on the sidewalk, blackened and
burnt with smoke and fame, and again
asked for aid to remove his chest from
its then position. The answer was

then again rushed into the burning pile.
The feelings of those who beheld him
cannot be described.
He proceeded to place in his office,
where he knew was placed small hatch

with astonishing agility and severed the
rope from the burning drum, to which it
had been secured, but was not yet burn
ed off, and down he sprang again. AT
times he was hid from the eyes of those
assembled outside, and again he would
be seen fitting about as though he was
proof against destruction, and cheer
would ascend Soon he was seen stand
ing on the sidewalk with the severed rope
over his shoulder but in an instant one
side of the store fell in and he was again

That cleared away and he was seen
hard at work on the safe, endeavoring to
thrust the hook at the end of the rope
through its handle. He succeeded and
then carrying the other end Of the rope
in his hand, came as far as it would per.
nit of towards the crowd and was receiv-
ed with the most vociferous reclamation
1t is needless to say there were plenty
laid hold of the rope. The chest was
dragged out amid hurrahs, and placedin

THE FINDER OF THE GOLD. We I'M
derstand that the colored man, James
Thomas, is well known for his industry
aud honesty. The N. Y. Herald gives
the particulars of his history, and the
finding of the money, as follows:
James Thomas, colored laborer,
who has been employed by the New Ha>
ven Steamboat Company to clean their
wharf and attend TO the fastenings ofthe
boats, was the man who discovered the
gold. On Wednesday afternoon, just
after the departure of the Champion, he
was washing off part of the pier, and
found sovereign. Believing it to have
been lost by a passenger, he put it away,
determined to see whether it was adver-
tised. The next morning, while again
washing the plankipg, he was astonish-
ed at finding that he had washed out a
half eagle. This caused him to stop for
a thorough examination, and it was thus
that, after removing some pieces ofplank,
he discovered the hidden treasure, which
in his agitation and eagerness to grasp,
he partly split, and some of it was, by
the tearing Of the handkerchief that it
was tied in, lost in the dock and scatter
ed among the stones ofthe wharf.
He Immediately proceeded to the Of
fee Of John Saxton, Esq, South street,
agent for the New Haven line, whom
Thomas considered as his BOSS and
delivered all the money to him for safe
keeping, and for the benefit of the right
owner. The unusual honesty of this
transaction induced us TO ascertain who
James Thomas was, SC. We find that
he is fine specimen Of the pure blood
Of Africa. He is very poor having a
wife and three children to support out Of
Sl5 per month. His neighbors. white
end colored, give him high character
for industry, sobriety, and good behav.
Tor. His wife and himself are exempla.
ny members ofthe Methodist Church,
and he told gentlemen, with earnes,
simplicity, and no doubt with truth, tina,
it was owing to his religion that he with.
stood the temptation; for, he says, his
first thought was that'n one would know
that there was no owncr-that so much
money would buy him some little com
forts for his (amiIy;' but, he says, hi
thought about the honesty and then pray
ed to the lord, who imme diatey direct
him to MIR Saxton. We trust that thu
owners of this recovered treasure will
reward this honest man literally, 81
that he may indeed buy some little com
forts for his wife, and educate his chill
dreu to follow in his foot steps
