The Herald of Monday, speaking OF the burning
of Harpers establishment, says:
Thousands visited the scene of disaster yester-
day. From early in the morning till late in the
night there was one constant crowd in Cliff street,
Franklin square, and the other streets near by
On the site of Harpers printing house, yesterday
nothing was left standing but one tall chimney,
which looked like a monument among the ruins
The fremen had pushed over all the other walls
TO prevent accident from the falling. During the
day few workmen were engaged getting out the
safes, which were buried beneath the huge hills
of bricks. The entire force of the fourth ward
police were constantly on duty yesterday, guard
ing the premises against the hordes OF thieves
prowlng about such places in search of vauables.
We understand that, in spite of the vigilance of
the police, some portions of printing presses, ex-
humed books, &c, had been carried Off
The following are the particulars as TO the loss
of the Messrs. Harpers, and the insurance upon
their property. Their entire loss Of buildings,
stock engines, &c., is estimated al $S00000. In
the establishment were thirty-three large power
presses, and eleven hydraulic presses, besides va
rious hand-presses and other apparatus for pub
fishing. The loss OF the sheet stock is alone fixed
at $25O0O0-that is, the sheets in the folding
room, bound, trimmed and ready for the covers.
The Messrs. Harpers are insured for only about
S250,000 or this, $4,000 is insured in an Eng
lish company, who have agent in Boston, and
the is distributed among all the principal CON-
panies in the city and country, none OF the policies
exceeding $4,000.
The most valuable property of the establish
ment, the stereotyped plates, we understand, are
in good state of preservation. These plates are
valued at 100000, and are not included in the
above estimate of $500, 900. This property
slowed away in vaults, extending under the side
walks, both on the Pearl street and Cliff street
side, and were blocked up from the fire by the
falling Of the walls.
From the following card, it will be seen that
but little delay will be occasoned to the firm, and
that il is intended TO push on the business in the
old way, al the earliest possible moment:
A CARD.-The undersigned take occasion to
say that in consequence OF the destruction of their
establishment by fire this afternoon, they will
be unable Immediately to fill all the orders with
which they have been favored. The sheets stereo
type plates, and copy of Harper's New Monthly
Magazine for January, having been consumed
delay of few days will unavoidably occur in the
delivery of that number to agents and subscribers
The undersigned take this occasion TO return their
thanks TO the members of the fire and police de-
partments, and others who rendered assistance in
rescuing persons in their employment, and por-
tions Of their property from destruction. Their
business will be resumed at the earliest possible
moment. Tne members Of the firm can be seen
on business at Nos. 10 and 81 Cliff street
