The firemen as usuul were soonIon the spot,
and prevented the spreading of the fiames.-
An attempt was made last night about 8
O'Clock to set fire to the wooden tenement on
the corner of Cove and Church sts., and but
for the timely interference of several gen
tlemen who were passing at the time, the
incendiary wish would have been accom-
plished.

TEACH TEE WoNEN TO SAVE. There's ths
secret. A saving woman at the bead Of
family is the very best savings bank yet es-
taslisned- one that receives deposits daily
and hourly, with no costly machinery to
manage it. The idea o t saviBg is a pleasant
Que, and il the "wemen' would imbibe it
at once, they would cultivate and adhere to
ii, and thus, when they were not aware of
it,woald be laying the foundation for CON-
petent security in stormy time, land shelter
in rainy day. The woman who sees to her
own house has large 6eld t. save in, and
the best way to make her comprehend it ia
for her to keep al account OF current ex
penses. Probably not one wife in ten has
an idea how much are the expenditures of
herself or family. Where from one or two
thousand dollars are expended annually,
there is chance to save something, if the
attempt is only made. Let the housewife
it--and she will save many dollars-perhaps
hundreds before she thought it i'm
sible. This is duty--not prompting of
avarice-a moral obligation that rests upon
"the women" as well as the men, but it is
duty, we are sorry to say, that is cultivated
very little. even among those who preach
the most, and regard themselves as exam
piles in most matters. 'Teach the women to
save" is good enough maxim to be inser-
ted in the next edition of Poor Richards
Almanac"

QUICK TrME-THE N. Y. h Va. STEAMSHIP
YORKTOWN BEATS THE COLUMBIA, OF THE
CHARLESTON LrNE.-The steamship York
town, Captain Parrish, left New York at
about 8 o'clock last Saturday afternoon, in
company with the Columbia, Capt. Berry,
of the New York and Charleston line-the
latter being about three miles ahead. Capt
Parrish observing the Columbia blowing #
steam, and evidently waiting for him with a
disposition to try the relative speed of the
two vessels, prepared his ship for the con-
test after the most approved manner Of
Gunter or Hoyle. After the Yorktown
came within quarter of a mile of the amoi-
tious and hitherto unbeaten champion, the
Columbia put on the gas" turned pretty
wheel, and shot forward with speed which
was unusual even for her. After running
about Eve miles, the Yorktown came up
with her. The Columbia run the Y orktown
so close to shoal water that Capt. Parrish
stopped the engines and the Columbia con
sequently passed. The Yorktown then went
ahead, and, passing the Columbia, diStanced
her five miles in forty.
We think Capt. Parrish is now entitled to
bear the flag, commanding, as it must now
be admitted he does, the fastest steamship
afioat. SO the 'fast Columbia" hitherto
the crack steamer for speed, hos been beat
