i I It 'X 11 i AND DAILY TRANSCRIPT. PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, OCT. 9 Fiats. The recent fire in this city ha led to considerable discussion, both at to Us probable causes and its comparative extent. On the first point nothing certain haa been ascertained, but on the latter no doubt is entertaiued that it far surpasses, in the amount property destroyed, emy former tiaitation of the same sort.

In the matter of fires this city has always been spe 1 cially Ihvored. In the earliest period of its his tory fires did, it is true, occasionally occur, but they we're generally subdued without much dif Cculty. 1 The first important fire in Philadelphia took place in 1730. It broke out in a store on the wharf, near Walnut street, and after destroying all the stores in the vicinity, it extended its ra rages along Water street, whiob. was at tliat time occupied by the principal merchants for private dwellings.

To a number of these it did considerable damage, and then crossing the street, it destroyed three fine houses, before its progress was arrested. The loss sustained up on that occasion was 5,000, a sum which was then thought to be very considerable. Thisca lamity stirred up our worthy, progenitors to vigorous measures for future security, and ac cordiaglr they procured from a local artisan fone hundred fire buckets, and soon after they I imported from England two hundred and fifty more. At the same time they ordered out two aew engines, which, in due season, arrived, and were placed, one at the corner of Second and V. Market streets, the other at the corner of Front and Walnut, those places then being at the remote extremes of the city, i In 1736, a block of buildings, known by the tuime of Badd's long row," which stood on Front street, above the drawbridge, took fire, and for a while very serious apprehensions were felt for the safety of the town.

The new engines, however, were brought into successful play, and the flames were Bubdued before they 'it had made any very mischievous progress. This second fire excited still further the alarm of the good citizens, and the project of voluntary fire companies (the engines then belonged to the councils,) was broached and deliberated. Af ter two years of discussion for our sires were v. less rapid in their movements than their poste rity the first fire company was instituted by Benjamin Franklin, in 1738. It was in honor of this event that the firemen last year held a cen tennial celebration.

With tile exception of the two instances re ferred to, there were no fires which created any considerable alarm among our peaceful forefa then. New York has in this respect always been less fortunate than Philadelphia. In Sep "tember, 1T76, a fire broke out near Whitehall lip, which spread along Broadway, on both sides, until it was arrested on the eastern side I by a large brick house, and it afterwaids con tinaed to rage along the western side to St Pail's Church, when the wind having changed, 1 it inclined towards the North River until it burned oat at the water's edge, near the foot of what is now Barclay street. In this conflagra lion Trinity Church was destroyed, and St. Paul' was only saved by the greatest exertions, There were besides four hundred 'and ninety three hoases consumed, chiefly, it is true, of an inferior character, and many of them of wood.

In August, 1778, another fire occurred in New York at which fifty houses were burned, and since that time especially of latter years th recurrence of these dreadful calamities has been freauenl and severe. The great fire of 1S35 was in some repects the most extensive on record in every part of the world. Scarcely fortnizht aeo a theatre and several churches were destroyed, and before the ashes of these "had ceased to smoulder another and a most serious conflagration has happened in the midst of a thickly populated and business neighbor hood. The loss of property at this last men tioned fire very considerably exceeds that sus tained here on Friday. An entire block of fine storet) filled with costly merchandise were en tirely consumed, and various private residen ees inhabited by the humbler class of citizens were destroyed.

Holt's great Hotel one of the finest stractures of the kind to be found any where narrowly escaped. It was several times on fire, but by strenuous exertions was saved with but a trifling injury. The reeent fires both in this city and New York will produce very serious distress tolargi portions of the community. Besides the lost to the immediate sufferers, some of whom are rendered entirely destitute, and the interrup tion to all the tnsiness connected with the different places destroyed, or so far injured as to require a temporary suspension of their custom anr occupations, great inconvenience will be occasioned to a numerous class indirectly con eerned in the result. These are the persons to whom the different Insurance Companies have loaned money or mortgages or other securities The total amount of risks in the two cities can not be less than half a million, and will probably considerably exceed that sum, and this amount most be raised within a month or two at farthest to enable the companies to comply with the conditions of their policies.

To ena ble them to do this they must call in the mo. aeys they have invested, and such of their borrowers as desire to avoid the expense and discrediting suits at law, must rsise money at every sacrifice and those of them who cannot rsise it at all will have to staid by and see their property disposed of at scarcely half its value. Thf difficulty of raking money in any considerable sum may be estimated by a fact which has been mentioned to us on creditable authori ty. A gentleman who had immediate occasion for several thousand dollars, took a mortgage i which he held, say for twelve thousand, which had but two years to run, and was secured on ample real estate in this city, to one of our principal capitalists, and after various offers, at length proposed to transfer it to him at a discount of twtnty per and even at this ex travagsnt deduction the offer was refused. Other instances have come to our knowledge in which rood and well aerated m.lle,.m,.

1 01 a count on such securities is not less than fire per cent, under the most favorable circumstances. In this condition of things, and with stocks of every description sunk to a point of df pres. siou such as has never before been known, it may readily be imagined that the increased demand for money which the late fires must necessarily product will add greatly to the existing, distress. Health or New OaLtAws. The intermeuU at New Orleans, on the 2Slh, were 8, of which but one was of yellow fever.

The number of patients admitted were 18, of which 10 were of fever. AafcAe. rhe fever at Natchez is said to be increasing. From the report of the sexton, for the week ending Tuesday evening, 24th ult. there had been 19 deaths, 12 of which were by yellow fever.

Augutta, Geo. There is no abatement of the fever at this place, and it is net confined to any particular portion of the city. Mobile. This city also remains, at the latest dates, (28th ult.) without improvement. The number of deaths have diminished, but this arises more front the decreasing population, and the diminished number of subjects for disease to act upon, than any diminution of virulence in the epidemic.

The average number of deaths, since September 19, is 10 per day. Distsessirg SmrwsECK. Captain Little, of the ship Glasgow) at Baltimore, from Liverpool, on the 18th of September, in lat. 39 40, long. 61 20, took from a fragment of the poop of the I.

The names of those saved are William West wood, carpenter, of Selby, Yorkshire, England, John Arsley, a Prussian, and Halvor Haralsen, a Norwegian. An Impudent Act Propeslt Pusished. A man who was driving a cart through the streets of Baltimore, on Saturday last, jumped out, ran up to a young lady who was standing on her father's steps, and, without any ceremony, put arm round her neck, kissed her, and then drove off. The young lady acquainted her fa ther with the circumstance, and in the evening the latter spied the fellow returning home. Th incensed father ran out, stopped the horse, and wresting the whip out of the fellow's hand, gave him a sound threshing before he let him off.

Violeitt HuaajcasE XT JJ ermud a was a violent hurricane at Bermuda on the 1 1th of September, which did a great deal of damage to the houses at Hamilton and St. George's. The gale was accompanied with most violent torrents of rain, and the gusts of wind caused the waves of the ocean to cast showers of sea water far over the land, so that many of the tanks of drinking water throughout the country are brackish, and various kinds of fish were found on land, hundreds of yard from shore. Faoif Pawama. Panama dates to the 15th, of August, state that an insurrection had taken place at Pasto headed by a priest, who shouted from the pulpit, Religion, and no suppression of the Contents."

II Dinner luumaie uai, in order to maintain their present respectability, the sixpenny "must make their columns the mirror of received opinions, rather than the source of new truths, and must content rather to avoid displeasing, than to astonish and instruct by that which is novel, and doubtful."

All this 'does very well, except that harping on I proyriit9 dull and heavy propriety." Is there no propriety but what is dull and heavy tak aulness and heaviness themselves to be improprieties in a newspaper: and a want of "independence and spirit," we imagine to be something like a went of i Stasiko. Mr.

"Charles Markwell," whtse com I municatioa has been duly received, is right ia sup posing taai nave a xeai ror tne correction oi ami sea, when they appear. The abuse of which Mr. Mai well complains consists is young men's stariag at the girls while they come oat of church. We doubt if the case can be clearly made out mea'leyes were made to look with, and girls were made to be looked at so that, ia that simple state of affairs, no abase i visible. It i true that the front of the church i not a proper place for young men to collect, even for so laudable a purpose as looking at the girls; but are really afraid that if this gratification were de nied, moat of our youngsters would desert the church altogether.

We can scarcely credit the assertion that a young man who has spirit snd taste enough to look at a pretty girl, could be guilty of such a gross and ungeatlemanly act aa whiffing tobaceo ainoke" in her face. A fellow who could do such a thing in front of a church would be capable of almost any thing. agree with Mr. Markwell that young men should be is church during the time of service, but we do not agree with him in thinking that bearing sermons would cure them of their propensity for looking at the girls.
