ing establishment of Daniel Shryer, on the
northeastern boundary of tho city, near the
city gas works, was discovered to be on fire
heavy northwest wind was blowing at the
time, which having free access to the flames
the tre soon enveloped the large frame build
ing IN which it commenced, and thence rapid
~ extending, soon wrapped the two other
buildings OF the establishment in flames. The
want of available water supplies rendered it
impossible for the fire apparatus to be of SER
vice, and 1t was not until the wind had car
ried the sparks into Fishtown some three hun.
dred yards below, and there set FIRE to sew
eraI tenementS, that their labors became avail
able; there they succeeded in saving, with but
trifiing damage, the large corporation ware
house, In which was stored seine worth ten
thousand dollars. In the meanwhile, the
large brick building on the hill near by, known
as the " Beverly House," caught, and all its
combustible material fell a prey to the de.
vouring element. This house was occupied
by number of persons, and has been in ill
repute for some time; it was owned by the
city. A small stable in Fishtown was also
burned, The loss of MIR. Shryer is estimated
at IS ,O0O that Of the city S3,000-on neither

During the fire the hose carriages of the

SPJRITOF THE MORNING PRESS


The IatcHigencsy, publishing portion Of
the Secretary of the Treasury annual report,
takes occasion TO say:
"Of this annual expose, at all times inter-
esting to the country, but the one before rs
especially so, we have been able to give only
q oursory perusal. 1t treats fully of the e.
nsDcisl affairs Of the Government, and en-
bodies great amount and variety of impor-
tant matter, the whole presented in lucid,
and, II strikes US, able manner; and such We
think will be the public judgment on it.
"The Secretary goes largely into the sub
ject Of the tariff, entering into many details
IN explanation and support Of his proposed
reduction Of the duties on imports. We can
only remark that in the views and recommen-
dations Of the Secretary we generally concur,
though to somo OF his points we take excep-
ton. This We do particularly in the prefer.
ence which he gives to al raiorem over spe-
ci6c duties On articles upon which specific du-
ties can be as conveniently and with as much
certainty imposed but we cordially assent to
the plan of increasing the free list, especially
In regard to the raw materials which enter
into the manufactures Of our own country,
and which other nations, for wise reasons, ad-
NIT free Of duty. We concur with the Secrs-
tary also in the inexpediency Of accommodating
a large surplus revenue, which, while it taxes
the people unnecessarily, can only be produc-
tive of extravaganza and extrayagant habits
IN national expenditures"
The Union publishes synopsis of the re-
port above referred to; announces that a mail
will be despatched per steamship 4" Arago"
for Southampton and Hsvre from New York,
on Saturday, the 18th inst, and that the Pest
master General has issued stringent instruc-
tiOns to pOstmasters to prevent the accumula-
ton of public documents al their Offices that
should be forwarded or delivered promptly.
