Boston has so lately suffered from one of
the great fires of the century that the news
OF another considerable disaster of that sort
caused some excitement, yesterday, in this
city. The fire seems to have been confined to
the block in which it broke ont but the loss
of life which is reported is a sad feature of
the affair. 1t is quite possible that Boston, as
well as New York, needs more stringent regu-
latiOps concerning fire-escapes.
New-York tribune., 1873-02-28

Before the Legislature adjOurns, it should
do something to facilitate the course of the
law in capital cases. Two important bills re-
lating to this topic are already before that
body, one prepared by Recorder Hackett, and
the other by Mr.. Henry L. Clinton. In a COM
muHicatiOn to TIE TRIBUNE, herewith pub
lished, Mr.. Clinton compares these projects of
law with an inferential conclusion in favor of
his own production.

The Rush for Place-How the Public
Archives Are Acc um ulatfng-No Names
Yet.
Mayor Havemeyer was early at his office yester-
day morning, according to his custom, and stayed
late In compliance with the necessity forced upon
him by the great amount OF public business he has
at present to transact Contrary to expectation,
as expressed by many OF the quidnuncs, he did not
send any nominations to the Board OF Aldermen
yesterday. He, however, signided an intention of
abiding by the decision OF the Corporation Counsel
in regard to his previous appointment OF q new
Board OF Excise, and, as viii be read elsewhere,
yesterday. The anxiety about other places In
the Mayors gift was undated All day
long a stream OF visitors passed into and
out OF his private Office and II Is doubtful whether
dozen OF them called upon business not connected
with the appointments. A lew were friends whose
advice Mayor Havemeyer Is pleased to have, and
the remainder were .b0res,n whose absence was
more desired than their counsel or their impor-
tuning appeals for offices Tor themselves or TOT
their friends. Mr.. Wilder, the Mayors private
secretary, has quite heavy addition to Ills ord
nary duties In the receipt and reading OF wrl!ten
applications for position, ana states t n,ss
they ,a amount to an average s,..r o' b nay
as many as twenty to thirty endorsements OF noteu
politicians and patriots In support OF the peItiom
for place OF an Individual. All these letters are
filed away after being endorsed, ana tnat, a.

being 81. The Bank Of France shows specie gain
for the week Of 1000, 600 francs.

The scarcity of money was felt more keenly to-
day, and the rate on call ranged from I-l6th to 4

three million dollars for disbursement In SETTLE

government, and some parties who had FORE
knowledge OF the withdrawal Of funds aggravated
the activity by locking up money the Tenth Ma
tional Bank turning up creditor this morning for
nearly two million dollars, making about five
million dollars taken away yesterday. 1t is only
sair to say that the officers OF
THE TENTH NATIONAL BANK
earnestly disavowed completely with the scheme,
and to prove their sincerity loaned money to Wall
street to-day as far as they were able. The now OF

ment-Ths Growing Disregard Of the Law
for the Abatement Of Sidewalk OBJ.
gtructions-The Work Of the Bu-
reau for the First Quar-
ter Of the Year.

The bureau for granting permits for depositing
goods on the sidewalks, signs hoistways, show
cases, &C., Is one OF the most important attached
to the Mayors onice and recently letters have
reached the HERALD ONCE complaining OF the
manner In which the ordinances are disregarded
by merchants and traders, ana asking what dis
position Is made OF the revenue accruing nom the
permits. With view OF ascertaining
WHAT ABUSES, If ANY EXIST
In the granting OF permits to merchants and
others, the collection OF revenue therefrom, ana
the enforcement OF penalties for violations, a re-
porter Of the HERALD has made careful investiga-
ton, and he finds that in nearly all the streets OF
the metropolis the law is daily violated by retail an
well as wholesale dealers, who, having taken out
license for one privilege, neglect to do so for
Others, while
MANY FAIL TO TAKE OUT A LICENSE
at all. From Mr.. Wardell chief clerk to the
Mayor who has Jurisdiction over the Permit Bu-
reau it ascertained that the revenue 80 far in
this year has been so small that it has not yet
been paid into the City Treasury. The revised
ordinances OF 1865 provides that all applications
for showcases, signs, stands, streetways or hoist
ways shall be approved by the Aldermen and As
slstant Aldermen OF the ward, for which
FEES FROM ONE DOLLAR TO TEN DOLLARS SHALL Bu
CHARGED,
and an amendment thereto fixes the fee for signs
at from one dollar to ten dollars year. The De-
partment OF Public Works claim jurisdiction over
the signs running out at right angles and obliquely
from the buildings but all other permits for signa
granted by the Mayors officials. 1t is believed
that, properly collected and husbanded, these per-
mitS should return revenue OF
FROM ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND
DOLLARS TO ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND
DOLLARS PER YEAR

prosecuted vigorously much larger sum might be

all moneys shall be turned over quarterly to the

is made for the salaries Of the clerks employed In

in the first three months Of the year are usually
small, but IN May, June and July they usually
reach high figures, these being the months when,
most OF the permits are taken out or renewed.

Business continued fair to-day, though there

many dealers complaining OF dulness while a few

Prices remained without essential change, though
generally tending in buyers favor. Cotton ruled
quiet Flour was steady but quiet Wheat was
dull, lower and nearly nominal at the
close. Corn was also dull and lower, with
but little doing at the decline. Oats were
dull and decidedly lower. Whiskey was again
higher under fair demand Pork remained very
quiet but firm, while lard was rather more active
and decidedly higher both for lots on the spot and
forward delivery. Groceries were firm under q
