Fires In tho City in 1879.

The table appended, courteously furnished at the
once Of Chief Engineer Perley, gives summary OF
res that occurred in this city during the year. in
comparison with the total number Of fires the num-
her totally destroyed is very Insignificant, but the
loss Of property amounts to millions. The sacrifice
Of life is BY far the most painful feature in the table,
which will cause 1t to be considered with the most
attention. Thirty persons were either smothered
or burned, including two fremen. The principal
buildings destroyed during the year were Niblo's
Garden, Barnum's Museum, Grace Chapel Lima
Edwin's Theatre Filth Avenue Hotel tseriously
damaged), printing establishment: on Centre street
and Maillard's confectionery. The following is the

A Correction.

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:-
SIR-Under this heading in this mornings issue
are some illusions to the Internationals which are
incorrect and unjust. The InternatiOnals went in
squads to the ruins Sunday afternoon with the
intention Of working, but saw paid men working
at clearing the debris. Their services were not
offered then, because 1t would have looked ike
bravad0 on their part.
At quarter before nine O'Clock yesterday morn
Ing had already sent away thirty-seven Of our
members who had come sngly to help recover
the bodies, and before the safe had been carted
away the number had increased to 1O7, to whom
made sign TO 60 home. It was then about eleven
O'Clock. The only reason that you did not see
them Is that "nOne OF US wore. req shirts" Only
Of us had piece OF red tape at his buttOnhOle.
We were all dressed like what we are-working
men. Yours truly,

in an increase Of business. there being decidedly
more buOyancy than for some weeks. Cotton was
quiet but the market was steadier. At
the Produce Exchange business was
brisker, while there was a better feeling in the
market for nearly everything. Flour was in better
request and steadier. Wheat was decidedly nrmer
though the enhanced prices demanded tended to
check the inquiry, and business was light and con-
fined to the local milling interest. Corn was strong
and better prices were paid, but the demand was
light at the advance Oats were quiet and steady.
