Mr. Alexander Hmkey, also one of the founders of the bank, had much plea

o the difficulties attending the conduct of banks in this country, and it could hardly
be imagined that it was in my respect easier to manage a bank, the localities of which
were spread through a number of the colonies. lie need hardly say that tit required
the utmost care and anxiety on the part IF the directors to avoid losses SO successfully
as they had done. QIear, hear)

FIRES IN THE METROPOLIS
IN 1865.

In the superintendent return for the
past year there are Fifteen hundred and
two fires reported on the Causes of Six
hundred and six being unknown. Five
are ascribed to incendiarism, having been
so declared, we presume, by iuries in
criminal trials. One hundred and eigh-
teen are set down as being due to gas.
We are not, however, to suppose that the
introduction Of gas was the creation of a
new danger; it only altered the form of
one already existing for candles andlamps
have far more sins to answer for. Two
hundred and eleven fires are stated to
have been caused by candles, and sixteen
by lamps, fifteen of them being used for
burning mineral oils, under the various
names of petroleum, naphtha, or paralin.
Flues, over-heated or defective, bear
the blame of a large number of fires.
Smoking tobacco caused th%irty-three.
Lncifprs, twenty-five, who'll must be con-
sidered as but a small set-off against
their great superiority and convenience
over the ancient flint and Undertook.
The sun is blamed for two fires, and to
that very questionable cause %'Spontane-
Jus COLuUuSIIoH3 dl0 dSCl4otu ClSu'
But returning to the superintendent
report, we find a list of the fires of 1865,
arranged according to the trades of the
persons whose houses were consumed.
It includes almost every trade from apo
thecaries to warehouses not even omit
ting cemeteries, one of which is set down
as having been totally destroyed, or con-
siderably damaged, from some unknown
cause. We confess we do not quite COM
prehend the statement.
Without knowing the relative number
Of persons of each trade in the metropo-
lis we can draw no inference from the
numbers burnt, but we observe with
some surprise that the more dangerous
trades furnish comparatively few cases,
and many of those are ascribed to causes
not connected with their business. Thus,
bakers had twenty-one fires, six of them,
causes unknown; one, spark from fire !;
four ascribed to candle /; one, Escape of
gas one, to lucifers; one, spontaneous
combustion the remaining seven arose
from the oven and hot ashes. Carpen-
tiers and workers in wood-not including
cabinet Makers very numerous class,
supplied twenty-seven fires. Of the four
teen known cause of fires, only two were
ascribed to any proceeding connected with
the business. Chemists, including labo-
ratories, had nine fires ; five of the seven
Of known origin, were caused by the
business /; frework makers had only one

fire /; foor-cloth manufacturers only one;
founders, three glue and size makers,
one i; Japanners, one; lucifer match-mak-
ers, four oil-works, three; tinmen, bra
ziers, and smiths, five sugar re6ners,
two Z; tallow meters, four and varnish
makers, five. Admitting that the num-
Der Of persons employed in these hazard
Gus works, are not numerous the number
of fires seem comparatively few, which
we cannot help ascribing to the fact that
they are not insured. Interest obliges
them to exercise caution which insurance
might weaken.
But if dangerous trades furnish compa-
ratively few fires, the non-hazardous oc-
equations fill the list. Beer-shop keep
ers, thirteen brokers and dealers in old
clothes, twenty-three; cane dealers, four;
all of them Of the totally destroyed or
seriously damaged class. We fancy they
were all insured. Diapers, thirty-three;
g%reengrocers and fruiterers, nineteen; gro
GERS, twenty-eight !; haberdashers, ten
hair-dreSsers, ten ; t%ailors, nineteen to-
bacconists, eighteen; not one ascribed to

thirty-three fires where causes were
known; but of four tobacco manufactu-
rers fires, one only was caused by smok-
ing.
Contrasting the small number of fires
which occur amongst uninSurable trades
with the great number which happen
amongst those of ordinary risk, we should
be inclined to ascribe, instead of one, one
thousand, out Of the fifteen hundred, TO
carelesSness.
From a table of the hours at which the
fires occurred, it appears the highest
number which took~place in any hour,
was one bundled and ffty-one at ten
o'clock at night. Then one hundred and
torty-eight at nine f; one hundred and two
at eight, and the same numbers at eleven,
and ninety-two at twelve pm. The least
fires happen at eleven am. SATURDAYS
furnished two hundred and thirty-ive
Tuesday, two hundred and thirty-two,
and the other days as to number Of fires
follow this order Monday, 223, Sunday,
900; Friday, 900; Wednesday, 1913 and
Thursday, 1914. The greatest number of
fres-viz., forty-two-occurred in the ff-
tieth week of the year-December 9 to
1G. The least number-sixteen-in the
forty-frst, from October 7 to IA. With
respect to months, December had one
hundred and twenty-five, and October,
one hundred and twenty-four. being the
most and the least during any months in
the year.
We give these figures for what they are
worth, which we fear is not much, since,
without other data, they furnish very
imperfect grounds for calculation or rea-
soning ; but on ONE rather palpable
points we have found them suggestive.
