ties, by bringing them in q more active relnlon 70
each other all aiming collate their history for the
benefit Of posterity. All who had been addressed
on the subject of the formation OF tins
Society have expressed themselves favorably.
We hope to gather collection OF memorials OF our
history as a denomination which will, in measure,
illustrate the progress Of Church IN an age and
country which is now attracting the notice OF the
world and promises in future times TO be an instruct
i've lesson to the historical student No tune could
be more suitable TO begin system OF historical col
lecons relating to the cenomns than the present.

THE TEMPERANCE BILL At ALBANY.
The NEW SELECT COMMITTEE AT WORK.
Correspondence of The NJ Y. Tribune.

The NEW SELECT COMMITTEE AT WORK.
Correspondence OF The N. Y. Tribune.
ALBANY, Saturday, Feb. TO- 1855.
As intinated in my letter of Thursday, the friends
Of the Act for the Suppression Of Inemperauce have
succeeded in moving forward that bill several degrees
IN the progress of legislation. The course was inevi
table. The Committee Of the Whole could never have
rome through the bill within the one hundred days Of
.he session. and much time would have been spent
which could and should be devoted to local bills.
The movement met with strenuous opposition from the
enemies Of the BILL and was sorry TO observe that
some Of the gentlemen recently defeated the Sena
torial question, who were, before that event. warm
friends of prohibitory law, manifested disposition
to be- factions 1t is to be hoped that after all they
have said against the violation of obligations they
will not themselves break any pledges. l do not be-
beve they will.
The House was adjoulnt rather summarily on FRI
day. owing to the arrival of the hour fixed for ad-
iournng; but / understand the SPEAKER has named
the additional five members TO the original Commit
tee as provided for in the resolution of Friday. They
are az follows: Messrs WIsSER, Maine Law LOU
RE, Maine Law; RIDER, Maine Law; CoMsrock,
Anti Maine Law; and WAGER, Anti Nj sine Law. 30
the COmmsttee now stands about IA the House 10
composed-nine Maine Law to five Anti lame Law.
Notwithstanding the House adjourned over TO Mon
day evening, this Committee has remained in the
city and IL TO day hard at work on the bill under
stand that quite a number of amendments will be
made but none which will materially change it's fea-
lures. These amendments the friends OF the bill have
had prepared for time, awaiting the proper op-
portuni,y TO offer in Committee of the Whole.
The bill will be reported at the evening session,
Monday, and, Of course, we will have minority re-
port--perbsps question Of order with regard to the
treatment the minority has received at the hands Of
the majority. But these things will avail nothing
The House has already marked out the course to be
pursued. The report must be made Monday aud then
debate until Wednesday, the 2lst inst, when the maj
vote shall be taken.
In the Senate understand, it is the determination
Of the Select Committee the subject to do nothing
until the House has completed its work. In the mean.
the Lennon Slave resolution now before that body,
which will occupy all of next week.

FIRE IN The flGHTH-N.
About o'clock yesterday morning, fire broke
out in large four story brick building in Eighth av
between Ffty-thrd and Fiffy-fourth-ss. lower part
occupied by Louis Bernhoz as grocery store, upper
part BY several families. The fire originated on the
fret floor and was discovered by the clerk, who oc
cuped small apartment in the Of the store it
first appeared between alarse lquorcask and the wall
and seemed to come from the cellar. The clerk
barely escaped with his life, as did many of the &C.
cupsnts of the upper part Of the house-several OF
whom saved only what clothes they had on at the
time The flames spread with great rapidty from
the store to the second third and fourth floors, aud,
despite the e1er.ions of the remen, the building was
reduced to a MAS Of ruins within an hour after the
alarm was given. The fire commune ated to the adj
Joining building toward ifty-fourth-st-the lower
part occupied by Francis Long as baker, the upper
part BY families This building was so badly dam
aged by fire and water to render i. untenantsble
The adjoining building toward Fifty-third-st, occu-
pied as dwelling by Peter Valentine was also much
damaged The buildings destroyed were owned BY
Stephen c. Williams, and were partially insured but
in what companies We could not learn. Loss about
tl0, GOO.
Lots of Berpholz about 81, 900: insured for sl,l5o
in the Jefferson Insurance Company. Loss Of Mr..
Long about $500; no insurance.
The families occupying the buildings above men,
toned sustained losses varying from ts5 to ESQ each
There is every probability that the fire was the
work of design, there had been no fire used about
the store since Saturday.
