DANGEROUS BUILDINGs.-The following com
munication has been made to the Board OF Alder
-. b., q Commitfaa of the Fire w ardens

TO ne H''''"''' ~ Of tie CITY u Ess0- York,
GENTLEMEN The undersigned, committees
amounted BY the Board of Fire Wardens to bring
10 the notice Of your Honorable body several very
dangerous buildings that should be removed iorth-
with. as well as suggesting the necessity ior IN
vestipg the power in some person or persons 10
remove all buildings that are unsafe In asummary
manner. The Board of Fire Wardens consider IL
a duty they owe to the citizens Of New YORK 70
make the above suggestions from the tact tnat
thew know Of the existence of at least nifty ouild'
ngs constructed and in the course OF construction,
thar are now unsafe and liable 70 fall and endan-
Ger the lives Of the citizens and they would re-
spectfully call your attention TO the annexed llst

which should require your Immediate attention.
THOMAS BOISE, Committee
THOMAS HAGADORN
On Seventh av between Twenty.third and
Twentvfourth SITS several buildings owned BY
Mr.. McArable, very dangerous; Twentysecond-
ar between Fifth and Sixth av. four buildings,
about falling; Fifth whole row between
Thirty.first and Thirty secondst. very dangerous;
building, NOrth.e east corner w alker and Elm, oc-
cunied bv Mr. Callahan as a liquor store build
ing. corner Center and Canal, occupied by Mr. La
batal for the storeage OF veneers, &c. belonging
to the Jay estate.
We understand that there are great number
Of other buildings considered by the Fire Ward
ems fully as dangerous as these, but the Board
wish to have these acted upon first. Great blame
freouently attaches to the Fire Wardens in rela-
ton to dangerous buildings, but the law gives
them no power whatever. They would seem,
with the assent in each case OF the Common
Council. to be the proper body for compelling the
removal or security of dangerous buildings. As
it is, we believe, no power exists in any OF the
departments, the City Inspector, to whom 1t is
thought the right belongs feeling doubtful as to
the point, and not willing to act nnder it.
BRoueH's BENEFIr.-Niblo's was packed last
night. from orchestra to ceiling. A single glance
at the house must have satisfied MIR. Brough that
he had at least three thousand friends present
The exercises wererich and sparkling, though they
varied little from the programme. Bertucca
was in good voice, and sang with spirit and fresh
ness; Beneventano dashed off, in rowdy style, bis
fnche dal vino; Seguin, Mary Taylor and Brough
figured in a lively act of Fra Diar0Io, and tue
great Burton turned up" in his inimtabie
character of Pillicoddy.
LA FAvoRITA.-There was brilliant and
crowded house at Astor-place on Wednesday
night to witness the first representation OF La
Favorita 1t was one of the most successful nights
of the season. PARoDI, as Leonora, added another
leaf to her fresh chaplet, and LoRINI, with all our
memories of Savi to overcome, achieved his
greatest triumph. The music Of La FdrOritd has
a warmer and richer character than that OF Lucre-
zia BOrpia, and the plot, although tragic in its
end, is not directed by relentless Destiny. 1t
has always been fayorite with our musical pub
lic and will be more SO now than ever.
HYP DR.. MoRRELL will lecture this evening
at the Rutgers Institute, in Madison-st. at "a
o'clock, on the Stomach, Digestion, Diet, Regi
men," &c illustrated by the mannikin. The sub
ject is most interesting and important, and those
who go will be sure to profit by it.
