Precautions Against Fire. Under our city head will be found a report ef the proceedings which took place at the Exchange Buildings last evening on the subject of protecting our cilizons against fire, by establishing a night patrol, Ate. If it be the part of wisdom to prepare for war in time of peace, it is none the less important that we should adopt measures to protect ourselves against the calamitous results of a conflagration before we are smitten with it.

Notwithstanding this, an intelligent and honest jury have found you guilty, and it is not to bo denied that there is no individual who has heard this trial, that does not concur fully in the righteousness of that verdict.

You stand condemned as guilty of having murdered your wife. Your case in all its aspects, exceeds in enormity any of which I have ever heard. It will no doubt stand out on the pago of history, as the most criminal, awful case of murder that ever came before a court and jury. You murdered her deliberately. "You murdered the woman whom you had sworn but one short week I may say but four days before, to cherish through life.

Was it ever known that so interesting and holy a relation as that of man and wife, has been followed thus soon by a result so shocking and painful to all the feelings of our nature Now, the law pronounces your sentence. You are to be executed cutoff in the prime of life, or rather just as you are entering on life where you had rieh and powerful friends to aid you where you might have been respected but from which you are to bo out off and consigned (o an early grave.

This is pleasant," exclaimed the young husband, taking hi Beat cosily in the rocking chair, hs the tea things were removed. The firo glowed in the grate, revealing a prettily and Heatly furnished sitting room, with all the appliances or comfort. The fatiguing business of the day was over, and he sat enjoying, what he had all day been anticipating, the delights of his own fireside. His pretty wife Esther, took her work and sat down by the table. It is pleasant to have a home of one's own," he said, again taking a satisfactory survey of his snug little quarters.

The cold rain beat against the windows, and he thought he felt really grateful for all his present comforts. Now if we only had a piano said the wife. "Give me the music of your sweet voice before all the pianos in creation," he declared complimentarily, despite a certain secret disappointment that his wife's thankfulness did not happily chime with his own. Well but we want one for our friends," said Esther. Let our friends come and see us and not to hear piano!" exclaimed the husband.

But, George, every body has a piano, now a days wo don't go any where without seeing a piano," persisted the wife. And yet I don't know what we want one for you will havo no time to play on one, and I don't like to hear it." Why they are so fashionable I ibink our room looks really naked without one." I think it looks just right." I think it looks very nuked we want a piano shockingly protested Esther, emphatically. The husband rocked violently. "Your lamp smokes, my dear, he said, after a long pause. When ore you going to get an aBtral lamp? I have told you a dozen times how much we one," said Esther pettishly.

Those will do." "But you know every body, now a day, wants astral lamps." "Those lamps are the prettiest of the kind I ever saw they were bought at Boston." But George, I do not think our room is complete without an astral lamp," said the wife they are so fashionable why, the and and A all have them.

ID A meeting was held last evening at Hall's Exchange Buildings agreeably to the call of the Mayor, for the purpose of adopting some measures to prevent conflagrations in Brooklyn, and the bringing te our city stolen property from the scene of tho recent fire in New York.

About thirty persons only responded to the call. Joseph Sprague, Ex Mayor, was called to the chair, and Theodore Eames, Esq. appointed Secretary. The chair Btated tbe objects of the meeting, and thought that some plan should be adopted for the organization of a patrol of citizens. He said ho was not aware' that the city was in any greater danger from incendiaries than it had been, but at present the public cisterns held so little water that it would require superhuman energies to extinguish a.

fire if one should happen. A. patrol was necessary to give immediate alarm on the least appearance of danger. He thought the citizens depended too much upon the engines, when fire buckets would be of great efficiency the wells might by their means be brought into requisition. At all events there would be no harm in being provided in case of fire.

Judge Greenwood thought thero were not enough present to adopt measures which would bo generally coincided in; and moved to adjourn to meet at some future time. Mayor Talmage said that at the suggestions of some gentlemen it had been thought advisable to call the meeting: the object was a very pressing one, and he hoped they would not adjourn without doing something. So little confidence was felt in being insured, that a patrol would spread a greater feeling of security among the citizens. Mr. Jackson S.

Schultz expressed his surprise at the general laek of preparation for fire it had always been a subject of complaint. If a patrol should be formed they could not extinguish a fire without water. He thought tho wisest plan would be to erect a reservoir upon the Heights with permanent pipes leading over the city. emoved within ten days from the service of this notice, under the penalty of ten dollars for each and every day it shall remain after the ten days expire.

TUESDAY EVEHIKC, JULY 22. The State Convention. One of tho Whig papers over tho stream, which, for purposes best known to itself, has been loud in its advocacy of the proposed Convention, and bitter in its denunciation of those who were less vociferous in the cause, is grumbling because there is an apparent falling off in the leal of its allies upon that subject, and seems desirous of stirring them up to some new and decided effort. The truth is, things have not gone quite so smoothly as the Whigs anticipated or rather, the actors, to whom principal characters had been assigned, have not managed their parts with discretion. Instead of adopting the mum pulicy as practised by them with so much success in 1840 or of indulging only in a few hints and ambiguous gmngs out, they have been injudicious enough to now their hands, and actually set forth some of the leading leforms" which they seek.

They have opposed the restriction vi the debt creating power, and exhibited a marked degree of unanimity in favor of extending negro sufferage. They have argued the propriety of cutting up the State into thirty two Senatorial and one hundred and twenty eight Assembly districts ostensibly that each may be responsible to a separato constituency, but actually with the view of obtaining a few more Whig, Native, and Abolition members. Thoy have, indeed, treated the question of foreign influence" very gingerly but all who recollect anything of their past history must know, that the restriction of the rights of naturalized citizens has been their chief hobby, from time imme rnoria 1, and they will scarcely believe that it is to be relinquished now. No: they havo merely shown themselves more politic in this than they have in most other things but we do not imagine it will prove at all serviceable to them in the end. They have also declared themselves in favor of a Registration act, notwithstanding the decisive manner in which it was condemned by the people some years ago.

In a word, they have shown their readiness to fallback upon the whole Federal platform, as it existed in the pulmj, dav) of lh Hamiltons' and Admmosa and if tliey do not succeed, by an alliance of all the factions, in securing some portion of it, their chance, for twenty or thirty years to come, will be hopeless indeed. No happened for months pnst is the very general omission oCthe Whig papers to notify (heir readers of the fact that a Native American Convention was held re cently the city of Philadelphia. Especially is this the case with that portion of them which is strongly in favor of a State Convention. We shall not pretend to account for this neglect, hut will venture to suggest that the adoption by that body of certain resolutions, upon subjects which the refurm" Whigs particularly desiro to keep in the back ground, may possibly have some connection with it. Recently, however, at a response gathering in the city of New York, the following sentiments were adopted by acclamation Resolved, That we are in favor of calling a convention to rcviso the State Constitution, in pursuance of the recommendation of the In.ot legislature, and that the great re orm upon which we shall insist, andwhich wc hold to be a condition precedent to all mbcr requisite reforms, that foreigners tstiult be Held incompetent to cxercio th riaht litis Stale, until after a resi xicuce in the United States of at lra.

t21 Resolved. Tuat we urge upon the friends of our principles and party throughout the State, imme. uuncly to arouse and respond to the call of the National Convention, by speedily organising in every county, city and town. Native American Asociatiorcs here they do not already exist, and that inscribe upon their banners New York thall he redeemed from foreign domination," and at those banners will not be furled until wo can say the Empire State is ours Here we hive it expressly asserted that the Native allies of Wliiggcry (or rather its past allies) go for a Convention solely because thoy desire to incorporate their twenty one year clause in the fundamental law this, and tins only, is the great end and aimoftheir efforts. The Whigs, of course, are not foolish (i.

e. impolitic) enough to make such a proposition whicl has the merit, at least, of being open and candid j. oi wnn ean irauui mm mey win readily assent to it when the power to log roll a Constitution for us shall havo been placed in their hands No one, certainly, who recalls the political events of the last twelve years. We repeat, that this protracted silence, upon a question of such vital importance to the success of Democratic principles, is profoundly significant. At any rate, we shall not cease to warn our readers, and mtion them lo beware of the serpent ere they are caught in his toils, until wc become satisfied that our apprehensions aro groundless.

It is likewise a singular fact thit so far as the Whiga have expressed themselves at all on the subject of submitting large expenditures to the test of a popular vote, they have gone dead against it. The reason they assign is, that all improvements being local, or chiefly so, it would be found impossible to obtain the general acquiescence of the State in any spe. ciric measure. In other words, the peo le at largo are neither so wise, so generous, nor so honest as the go in debt party of the Ruggles school und will necessarily oppose any measure which either conflicts with their private interests, or taxes them directly for the good of their noighbors It is no doubt true, that expenditures of tvylve or fifteen millions at a time for tho benefit of contractors would find it hard work to pass and so they ought. No improvement should be made which does not result in tbe benefit of the whole State, as the State, in its aggregate capacity, is made liable for the debt.

At the same lime it can hardly be supposed that any proposition of the kind would fail for want of being properly understood Newspapers in tho vicinity would bs found to explain it their arguments would be copied into those ut a distance and th end of the matter would bo, remain unheeded. Providentially as one of the speakers observed last evening Brooklyn has heretofore been exempted from any sweeping devastation but she ought not to count upon immunity, and take no thought lor tho morrow. If a fire should break out at a time like the present, the entire resources of the public and private cisterns in any one section would be like a drop in the great bucket of water that would be found necessary to quell it; and the chances would be ten to ono that a terrible destruction of property would ensue. A large proportion of our private buildings are of wood, and present com paratively but little resistance to the flames when they have obtained fair headway. It is doubly important, therefore, (hat means should be provided for the speedy extinction of any fire that may occur.

A number of suggestions were thrown out last evening. The chairman thought it would be well for each family to provide itself with a pair of fire buckets but, after all, they subserve no better purpose than common house pails. Their real use is to enable the citizens to form a line for the passage of water to engines which are unprovided with suction hose, and not to put out a fire after it has got well a going. It would seem, therefore, like advancing crab fashion to re enact the bucket law. One thing, however, should be attended to immediately and that is, the erection of an alarm bell at some convenient central position, and the division of the city into fire districts.

At present, we have to rely altogether upon the church bells, which may or may not be rendered available, according to the whims of the sextons and even when rung, do not indicate the locality of the fire. A petition upon this subject was presented to the Board some weeks ago, and ought to have been acted upon before now. But our chief security, for the present, at least, must be found in public cisterns. These uught to bo made, by general enactment, the appendages of every well sunk, and of every church and public building now or hereafter erected in the oity. Remonstrances should avail nothing, as the public good and espeei ally (he public safety is and should be a paramount consideration.

We hope, therefore, that the Board will take up this matter in earnest and not wait for cisterns to be petitioned for and remonstrated against in situations where they are deemed neoessary. Public Bentiment will approve any just course which may secure this invaluable end. On the subject of volunteer patrols, we are rather inclined to doubt their utility. The watch of the city should be increased four fold, and the whole system reformed altogether. The adjourned meeting of citizens, it will be recol lected, takes place at the Exchange Buildings to mg to this areaaTuTcaia that a considerable number of lives were lost, but as many of the stories relative to persons missing have no better foundation than rumor, it is scarcely worth while to repeat them.

Wc should not be surprised if twenty five or thirty were ultimately proved to have been killed. Messrs. Crocker and Warren, in whose store the dreadful explosion occurred, deny positively that it contained gunpowder. In this connection it may be proper to add that Dr. Fewchwanger, a practical chemist, gives it as his opinion that saltpetre alone produced the explosion.

Mr. Anderson, the Chief Engineer, in a communication to the Common Council, gives it as his opinion that the fire would have been confined to the second store but for the erosion. An investigation has been ordered The gas reservoir did not explode, as stated in some of the papers. The military guard about the ruins has been discontinued Many hair breadth 'scapes arc related, but we have no room to give them. How to Enjoy a Bath.

Physicians, as well as all other sensible men, are agreed in the opinion that bathing, no matter whether in hot or cold weather, is one of the greatest luxuries in the world but there is, practically, a wide difference among them as to the best method of enjoying it. Some will rush in hot haste, as well as a hot slate of body, lo Gray's baihs, at the ferry, plump into water scalding hot, kick about a few minutes, emerge in a high slate of perspiration, rub down, and think they have taken a bath, when they have only taken a cold. The true method of proceeding is this: Enter the bath as hot as may be found agreeable, uso the brush freely, and then change the temperature of the water by introducing a cold stream. Repeat this operation three or four times, or until the water is nearly cold, when the pores will gradually close, and the bather may safely emerge into the atmosphere, satisfied that he has taken a bath without the cold.

Tat Fountains of Roue. Every square Rome every public edifice almost every private grden, is made cheerful and picturesque by the gush of water from Fountains decorated with sculp tare and statuary. None arc mare graceful than the two in front of St. Peter's (in which the jot fulls into a vase, from the sides of which it streams in cir. CUiar sheet into a second vase, and from it again into a marble basin,) but the others arc so ingeniously va ried in form and ornaments, that no two are ulike, I find forty four engraved in a scler.tion of the principal fountains of the renowned city ol Rome," published there in 1773.

In one, a broad sheet of water pours down fiom a high aperture in another a nymph empties the stream frurn her pitcher in a third, dolphins pour it from iheir mouths and in one of those which arc always running from the walls for common use, (tho" free hydrants" of Rome) the water flows from the hunghole of a imrblc cask, which a marble porter is holding in his arms. In one Piazza the fountain is shaped like a boat, of which the main jet represents the mast; in another, four graceful youths, supporting the basin on Iheir heads and in a third, a triton sits on a shell supported by our dolphins, and holds over his head a conch, from which spouts up the water. The Piazza Navona contains three fountains and the principal one an Egyptian obelisk stands on mass of rock pierced with caverns on every side, and having chained to it four river gods, representing the Danube, the Ganges, the Nile, and the Rio de la Plats so thdt the four quarters of the globe are thus made tributary to the Imperial city. The Fontano 'v Pdolina rises like tho front of a church on the Juni culum hill, overlooking all Rome, and three torrents rush through the central arches, and fall into a large basin, from which they roll down the hill, turning mills and supplying reservoirs Oivt the Fontano flttP Agua Felice rests an Ionic arcade, in the ccn trjl niche of which stands Moses striking tho rock ai bis feet, from which the water gushes nut, and Aaronand Gideon, figuring in the basso relievos ot; ths other side. At the Quatlro Fontano (known to our countrymen in Rome as the location of the American Consulate,) two broad streets cross each other at right angles and when you stand at their in tsttsctiaa, your view is terminated in three direcii ni by Egyplixnobelisks.

In the meantime he would move a committee of five to adopt temporary measures in regard to a patrol, and report on that evening. He would also move to ex tend the objects of the meeting by including the sub joct of supplying the city with water. The committee of five was then appointed, con sisting of Messrs. Sprague, George S.

Howland, Judge Greenwood, William S. Packer, and Jackson S. Schultz. The chair hero made some remarks in favor of erecting cisterns by general tax instead of local assessment. They obviated the necessity of depending so much upon the engines.

1 he Mayor thought the present system the most equitable. Thero did not seem to be any difficulty in procuring them some six or eight had been constructed since the first of May. Tho citizens were sure to get them whenever they wanted, if thoy were billing to pay for them. The Chair had no doubt of that, at all but thought the true plan was by general tax. Mr.

Schultz inquired what permanent arrangement could be made in regard to duties of the patrol is they would not be kept up longer than a week? The chair thought that the city watchmen should as to its necessity. There had been a petition for one a few weeks since, but as usual, nothing had been done about it. It wa's 'ah unfortunate thing that there was such a disposition to temporise with every measure of public importance. The meeting then adjourned to 8 o'clock next Wednesday evening, at tl same place. The committee adopted a motion empowering the chairman to employ as many persons as he deemed proper to act as a patrol until the next meeting.
