THE FIREWORKS AL HE AnMOhA.
The conception Of Captain Dimmock, to levy
upon the curiosity of our citizens for the bene.
ft Of the poor. we regard as most admirable.
Admitting that all the persons who paid their
quarter for admission to the Armory yard, were
perfectly willing to have contributed their
mite to al charitable fund, il would have been
next TO impossible to have collected thus much
money from them all. 1t would have been me-
cessary to have followed them, necessarily,
all over the city, and after all, the probability
s, that many of them would not have had the
change, and that some of them would not have
given it, though they nigh, have had it. The
Captain proceeded quite in the military FASH
ion, and proved himself an able straiegist. He
waited until the enemy had gotten into cut
de sac, from which there was no retreat, before
he opened upon them. The result, we learn,
has been immense. Not less than 1926 have
been collected for the benefit of the poor.
We regard this affair as being, to the full,
as creditable TO Capt. Dimmock, as though ne
had paid the money out OF his own pocket.
It showed that his heart was with the poor,
though his purse might not be equal TO his
wishes. 1t showed that he was thinking of
them even while he was preparing amuse-
ment for their fellow creatures, who are in bet
ter circumstances. 1t was conception indi-
eating both benevolence and forethought, TO
make those who have the means contribute to
the comfort of those who have not, through
the medium of an innocent and most agreeable
stratagem. We hope this will not be the last
time that the ingenious devices of the Cap
tain may be exercised for the benefit of the
poor. What man may be able to contribute,
Individually, is mere mite. What he may be
able to make whole community contribute,
without any inconvenience to themselves, is an
affair of much more Importance. One intelli-
gent man may do more good by simple con-
trivance of this sort, than half dozen by in
dividual benevolence.
1t ought not to be forgotten that Captain
Dimmock was at very considerable expense
in getting up this display, and that he took the
entire risk upon himself. If he had failed, the
loss would have been his alone, and we very
much suspect that he is even now out of pock-
ct. We really think some public expression
of the appreciation in which his fellow -citi-
zeris hold the act, ought to be given. A mere
sentimental philanthropist would have con-
tented himself with lamentEg the suffering con-
dition of the poor. He might have sat down,
and wept to the end of time, and though his
head had been "waters, and his eyes fountain
of tears" his lamentations would not have
gained dollar for the poor. But Capt. Dim
mock is no Jeremiah. He felt the sufferings of
the poor, and would doubtless have relieved
them out of his own pocket, had he been able.
Not being SO, he did what was next best. He
levied on the public for their benefit.

THE OMNIBUS RoUTEs-SUMBER OF STAGES AND
HobsES-sTAGE ACCoStMoDATIoNs.
To instance the vast increase in the population OF
Brooklyn daring the past few years, it may be
merely necessary to note the rapid increase of stage
accommodations in the city, the number having
fully doubled within the past two years. The num-
Der of different lines in daily operation amount
to thrtecn for which lS stages, and upwards Of 800
horses are employed. The following are the names
Of the lines, routes, &c.
From Fulton Fcry-Johnson & Hudson's
Knicb erbocker line to Green Point, through Will
liamsburg; five mile route; employs % stages and
200 horses; l5i trips per day.
Hustled, Kendall & CocLran's East Brooklyn line:

ring the summer.
From South Farg--T. Cornell's Greenwood line;
8 stages, n horses; trips
From Hamilton F0ry-J Wards Grayescnd
line; stages, 20 horses; 8 to 10 tripe.
The aggregate number of daily trips made by
the above lines throughout the city amount to no
less than 739. The earliest daily trip is commenced
at 6 o'clock in the morning, and the last stage
leaves the Fulton Jerry at IL o'clock at night.
These lines do not run on Sunday. The majority
Of the vehicles handsome, and elegantly fur
nished and many Of the cattle are excellent speci-

toned, there is large quantity of handsome stage
sleighs, owned by the various lines, some Of which
are very large, and most handsomely decorated.
With all these, it is evident Brooklyn cannot reckon
travelling conveniences in her list of wants
