toast OF the evening-the health OF Her Majesty's
ministers-was received with three times three
cheers. He said the aspect of affairs was much
more satisfactory than when he last spoke on q
similar occasion. Business was now being done
deemed impossible. The only question now
was whether the revival was temporary or
permanent. The opinion of her majesty's gov

nent and lasting character. During period
OF unprecedented depression there had not
been single meeting to express discomfort
with the national institutions. He wished our
brilliant brethren in Ireland would be little
more emulouS of this example. He was at
loss to comprehend how the Irish people had
brought themselves to believe that the best

the firemen have not been able to get 1t under

with this on board the steamer Bristol, lying at

NEW YORK, Nov. 11.-At 11:30 a. m. to-day an
alarm OF fire disturbed the passengers and en-
pioyes Of the steamer Newport, not Bristol as
sci was lying at her dock at the foot of Murray
street, North river, when the flames were dis

The Bleecker Street Fire.
NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-THE fire that broke out
shortly before noon to-day threatened to destroy
what Saturday nights confiagration left of the
building Nos. 414 and 416 Bleecker street. The
building is occupied by number of tenants car
rytng on manufacturing businesses OF all sorts.
Flames issuing from windows of the fourth floor
used as cabinet.maker's shop, drew the atten,
alarm was quickly given. All the fire-engines
In the district turned out, but the flames spread,
despite the efforts made to check them, to the
floors above and below, and very soon four of
five floors were wrapped in flames. The total
obstruction Of the building seems unavoidable,
even OF those adjoining in Bleecker and Hudson
streets. Fears are entertained of an explosion
in the calcium light factory of Wilson & Co., on
first floor; it being reported that large quanti-
ties of explosive gases are kept there In tanks.
At Saturday nights fire water only damaged the
lower stories, and the loss then amounted to
$4,000. It will this time be much greater. The
losses cannot be determined at present, but the
aggregate will exceed SIS 900, and probably reach
100000. Everybody was known to have escaped
from the building. At 1880 p. m. the fire was re-
ported to be under control.

Lincoln and stanton.

The Washington correspondent Of the 81.
Louis Republican says: l met Marshal Ward
stanton letters published in the North American
Rerie,c, Lincolns friend and biographer told me
OF the manner in which Lincoln happened to
get Stanton into the Cabinet. In December,
1861, which was only a few months after the
date of the Stanton letter, now published, Mr..
Lincoln was talking with Secretary Chase about
the action OF our government in the Trent affair.
The President was asking If the Secretary had
heard of any opinions as to the governments
course by prominent democrats, when Mr..
Chase said he understood Mr.. Stanton, who was
then in Washington, shared the opinion OF the
President and upheld the governments course.
The President then asked Mr. Chase If he had
ever heard how Mr.. Stanton had abused him
(the PresidenD in the Mccormick case at Gin
cinnati. Mr.. Chase replied that he had not, and
the President told how Mr.. Stanton, being re-
tained on the same side as Mr.. Lincoln, de-
clfned to consult with him, saying he would
have nothing to do with the .'long-legged and
long-armed ape But" said said, the President as
would like to see him." Within few evenings
Mr.. Stanton called at the White House. The
was uphoiding the legality and policy OF the
government. Mr.. Stanton replied at some
length, giving his reasons for the opinion he
held. The President asked him If he would COM
NIT 1t to writing. Stanton promised he would,
and this interview ended without any other
subject than the Trent affair being allnded to
during the whole Of The evening Il W. was % within
called with the manuscript OF his opinion as
requested. AS he handed # to the President the
change In my Cabinet Will you take the place
of Secretary of War;" Mr.. Stanton was much
surprised, but before he left that evening he had
accepted the position and during the next
