Nar York Fire Company, &c
The first spring month is going out with day
that for warm sunshine and dewy showers, would
not be out Of place amid the most genial Of ApriPs
paintings.
The fire rowdies of Moyamensing have been
arouzed from their wintry torpor by the warm
weather, and resumed their vile incendary habits.
Last night, stable belonging to two poor men,
was destroyed by fire, and horse and carriage con-
sumed Another incendiary attempt was discover
ed while this fire was in progress, and promptly ex
tnguished. The arrest Of the directors of certain
fire companies in Southwark, has engendered Bit
terness against the Marshars police, and or
two companies have resolved 70 go out of service
Some of the iremen not satisfied with this, ran
out towards the fire, last night, and blocked up tie
streets that other companies willing to help put
out the fire, could not reach the spot. The present
hostile feeling between the fremen and MarshaPs
police viii, it is feared, lead to something serious
If n compromise is not effected.
Michael Nulty, one OF the most desperate OF the
Schuylkill Rangers, against whom "A charge of
arson and riot is pending, was captured yesterday
by some of the Marshafs police lie was traced
to canal boat but resisted manfully until the officer
poised his revolver, when he gave up. He was
lodged in prison.
The Americas engine company of New York
reached w alnut street wharf this afternoon, about
D
hose company, sixty strong, in citizens dress, head
ed by our famous Becks brass band. The manly
department and gallant bearing of the visiters,
| their splendid apparatus, and the music of Dods-
worth's celebrated band were all the subjects of
admiration. They visit the Walnut street theatre
and grand ball of the Hope hose company, this
evening, besides various other advertisements in
the shape of collations and suppers.
The owners of the swift steamship Prometheus
have just concluded contract here, by which an
iron boat of light draught is to be built at the Penn
Works OF Reaney, Neafe s. Co., for the navigation
of the San Juan and Lake Nicaragua. She Il to
be 120 feet long, with stern paddle wheel, and two
high pressure engines. The contract requires its
completion in ninety days.

The only successful hoax for the day was anu
nouncement of the arrival of SLAYER, captured off
the coast of Africa, by the U. 5. schooner Flirt,
which carried large coneurse of persons to the
wharf where the vessel was reported to be lying,
they being green enough to suppose that the slaves
would be brought here.
