bUlLDlN1 IN NEW ORLEANS'--l lhSe Bulletin OF
Wednesday says:
The recent conhagra'ion on Camp street is only
another proof of the insecure manner in which
buildings are constructed in this CITY, as regards fire.
The partition walls, in the first place. are not sufIi-
cientIy thick, nor a,e the materials of good and
suitable quality, as is abundanily proved in almost
every fire that takes place in this civ when almost
invariably they crumble down as il thew were dry
walls without cement. We have frequently seen
the ruins of such walls where each paricular brick
was entirely separated, and no more cohesion be-
tween them than Il they had been erected with mud
instead of cement The cause of this is, nsinr in.
ierlOr and porous bricks without due propartion of
sharp sand, sufficient quantity of lime in the
cement, and lavng the bricks dry instead of peyi.
ousiy wettng them. This latter is a vital mistake
as dry bricks Immediately absorb the moisture from
the cement AMI greatly injures it does not destroy
its adhesiveness. II bricks are laid wet with good
cement, they wall form solid mass when once dty
and will break more readily through the bricks Than
they VIII separate on the line Of cement which
unites them.
Another Indispensable requisite for warehouses
IN this city, Is iron window shutters above and be-
low. Such shutters on the building on The east side
Of camp street, at the time Of the ate fire. would
have efisctually prevented the flames from crossing

FIRE COMPANIES. - On the occasion of laying
the cornerstone of the Phoenix Fire Company's
Cemetery in Cypress Grove, in Is47, an eloquent
Grafton delivered by George w. Hardy, Esq.
The republication now Of the following fine pas
sages from it are not inappropriate:
What a guard, what a protection, are Fire
Companies TO the whole community What a
glorious and special privilege TO the sluggard to
the reveller and to the student Picture to your
selves for a moment, in the hour oi midnight the
cry Of Fire making night hideous. The wild
and wintry wind ranges through the channels Of
your streets the dreadful bell swells the alarm
on the first instant from all quarters, whether from
the First, Second or Third, sounding more or less
remote, upwards of twenty engines and hose car
rlages are heard mpetnously rafting and thunder
ing along. The clangor of the hoarse trumpet
sounds the charge-but all this, and more, scarcely
produces an exclamation OF surprise or terror. No:
oh, no the great work is in competent hands
The wealthy citizen scarcely turns upon his thrice
driven bed of down, and his repose is sweetened
by contrasting the comforts of his condition with
the hardships and peril to which the generous Fire
men are exposed. The fair maiden dreams out her
soft dream Of love unmixed with fear: the fond
mother conides in the perfect security Of her be-
loved children in the retirement OF their nursery
the infant scarcely cngs closer to the nurse arm
and the suggard, arising from his darling pillow
snplnely stretches forth his hands, and having as
ceraineu that the adjacent wall IS not hot, and that
the curtains not in blaze. pronounces droxsy
blessing upon the Firemen, and relapses into his
wonted sumber. The reveller continues to quafl
hts sparkling glass, to talk OF beauties that he never
saw, and fancy rapures that he never knew, regard
less OF the external tumult; and the midnight and
pae-faced student pursues his beloved lucubrations,
with no other effect than serves, by sort Of asso
citation, to induce him trim or to renew the flick
ering or dying taper and then TO address himself
more eagerly to his task. The next morning in
stead Of Where is the fire? the question is,
Where was the fire And thus ends the drama
FHemen are the strength, and life, and
soul OF the community. We're | a politician,
(Which, thank God am notD would wear them
in my heart of hearts, and give more for one united
blast OF their brazen throated trumpets than for the
sweet voices of all the political twaddlers Of
the day They are bound together as a band ol
brothers, brought up in the same perilous school
accustomed TO the same toll, Injured to the same
destructive and devouring element, und breathing
no rivalry but the rivalry to save aiming at nc
personal or selfish aggrandzement but generously
devotng their lives to the accomplishment of one
great obiect-the public safety and the public good

On Monday, the voice Of the people Of
this city was taken in accordance with the
Proclamation of the Mayor, for and agains,
a loan OF $4,000, to dredge steamboat
channel from Lorimer's Furnace to Eagle
Point. The number Of votes cast was
329, Of which only Ii were against the
Loan. Every one who apprehends cor
rec,ly the tone Of sentiment amongst the
citizens, will esteem this rather as a vote
to do something, than as an expression
approbatory of the particular kind of i'm
provement suggested. In the absence OF
an ability to agree upon the exact mode Of
doing that which large majority have re-
earded, and no d"uh, yet regard, as the
best for the city, it Is agreed to accept the
plan lately submitted by the Committee OF
Aldermen aud Citizens. To this we cor
daily say amen. We would rather de
eide, and move ahead. at the risk Of going
wrong occasionally, than TO stand still for
ever, debating what would be best.

WoNDERrUL SAGAcIrY OF A HoRsE.-
The following incident is related by the
Long Po,"t Advocate:
~ few days since, as we were leaving
our residence on our usual morning vi.i,
to the Advocate office, 4 sorrel horse be-
longing to us. g.lI"ped up and caught our
arm, aud made sn attempt 10 pull us in
the direction he wished to go. He then
left, and went off at quick gait towards
a pasture on our farm about quarter ofa
mile distant from our residence. In a
few minutes he approached us again,
making an unusual noise, and seemed by
his actions TO desire us to follow him
This we did, and when we reached the
pasture we observed the mate Of the
horse en,angled in bridge which had
broken through with him. After we had
ex,rica,ed his companion from his danger
ous position, the horse which had given
us notice Of his companion's danger,
came up and rubbed his head against us.
