PHrLApELpHIA, August 6, lS45.


southwark at the present moment presents peculiar
aspect is impossible for any thinking msn to arrive
at any other conclusion than that the attempt OF tbe
Commiss of that district, to reduce their fire de-
partment under subection has sgnally failed notwh
standing the support said Commissioners have apparent
ly received from the people. At meeting Of the ct
zans of Southwark, held last evening the fire depart
ment was denounced but in that denunciaton it leaked
ont that the citizens Of the district could not do without
them This is the way in which the doings Of that
meeting are understood, am persuaded, both by the
Commissioners and the remen and the latter are con-


rmed in this impression by notice from the insurance
company called the Fire Association, OF which the de-
partment are members and which notice they believe
was in part induced by the members oi the BOARD VI
of Souhw ark their friends The no.
tice directs the fire companies to attend ana as
trpuisbinr fires in Southwark or forfeit ther snare Oh
dyidands coming TO them on the profits of assurances
by the Fire Association Now this, coming JUST on tne
heels of measures taken by the ,;a " az "a
a norton of the companies out oil service, Is an al
mission that this attempt was unjust, or that the
party now power in the district fearful OF !he poit
cal influence of the companies being turned against
them are willing retrace their steps in case they can
do SO with any of dignity and without subectng
themselves to contempt of every man in the city and
county of Philadelphia Depend upon it, they are afraid
of the political influence welded by the companies
against which they struck ana preact Una. .ne nen @
preparations. What effect this compulsve compiasance
will have cannot at present say but see IN ~ rom
the known disposition OF the popuace, connuance OF
Southwark disordes-a gradual increase OF the evi un
