NEW-YORK FIRE DEPARTMENT.
ELECTION OF CHIEF ENGINEER.

The election of Chief Engineer of the New York
Fire Department was held ON Tuesday night but,
owing to the lateness Of the hour at which the teers
proceeded count the votes, we were unable to give
more than tie bare result in yesterday mornings
TRlpUNE The election was held in the houses Of the
various Engine, Hose, and Hook and Ladder Compa-
MES about tho city, between the hours of and
Q O'Clock p. M, the votes being received by two
tellers At the close OF the polls the votes were
counted and returns of the under oath made TO
the Inspectors at the 9TH Regiment Armory Rooms,
corner of Seventh street and Hall place, between the
hours of 10 O'Clock and mdnght. being received
after that time. At this hall there was an immense
throng of fremen, the place being crowded almost to
sufocaticn. AT " The Gotham" the headquarters of
Mr. Decker, were assembled between three and four
hundred persons, personal friends and adj
miIers Of DIR. Decker. Among this crowd
the greatest enthusiasm prevailed and bets wore freely
made as duplicate return after return came in. At the
Hone House, Broadway, the headquarters of Mr..
Cregier, similar scenes were enacted, although the
crowd here was sedse. AT u o'clock precisely,
Messrs. Levy Chambers, and Charlock, the inspect
ors that no returns would be received
and that the persons present would maintain order,
they would announce the result. About ten minutes
past 70 o'clock, fresh accession made to the
crowd, the friends of Decker, Cregier, and Carson
having marched up to hear the announcement Of the
vote officially. Mr.. Chambers requested the police to
clear the desk in front Of the inspectors, that the
reporters night have an opportunity of noting the fig
uIes bot in this matter the police might well have
been in their Saon-H Houses as at the Hall. The acces
sion to the repororal ranks in moment after the re-
quest was made by the inspectors was wonderful to
behold. The inspectors having arranged the returns,
proceeded to announce the result, commencing with
Engine companies. The friends Of Decker appeared to
be in the majority at the Hail. and upon the announce
ment Of the votes loud cheers were occasionally given
The friends of Decker brought small cannon in front
of the Hail. which they occasionally discharged, as
sort Of safeyvave for their enthusiasm The result
