[Frtm the N, Y, Tribune.] Since the ?i-nanization of the Metropolitan Board of Exoiso, which took plaoe just four weeks ago yesterday, 3500 ?persons have boon licensed to "11 strong ami spirituous liquors in quantities of toa? than live gallons. Thus far about 1600 oftbat number have recrfved and paid for the privilege. The revenue from this trafilo up to five o'clock last ?vening wa-? $335 000 Under tho rule, adopted by the board, there are bat two cUsses of license, the first, allowing tho saloa of all kinds of liquor, including alo and beor, costing $2~>0; the second, permitting only the sale of ale and beer, and cost ing $100. Nearly three-fourths of too lioenaes granted bolong to the first-class, and the indica tions are that this proportion will not be materially changed. We presume the number of drinking houses patronized by Germans, who almost invari ably confine themselvee to beer as a beverage, will be fairly shown by tho number of I i censes of the second class, wbioh reveals the immense and almost universal appetite of other classes of citi zens for a more potent otlmulunt-a fact that is greatly to be regretted, and as yet has proved utterly inexplicable. As a nation we eat. drink, and live io the moat rapid and melancholy man ner. Soo!olly, we are unique There is no mirth at table, no oonversation over our cops, whether they be filled with tea, ooffea or wine; whereas, if they contain any more stimulating beverage, we always drink standing. Tueae faots were com mented npon at groat length in the Board of Ex else when the grades of license were fixed, and it was mainly with a view to promote the sale of -beer and the social hilarity that characterizes our Teutonic fellow-citizens that discrimination was made between the different beverages. The sale of liquors at grocery stores bas boen entirely prohibited. In no case has a license boen granted to any person who, in the same estab lishment, mixed th ? " trades. No license has been grsnted to the keeper of a brothel, concort ealoon or a resort for thieves. The dance-houses have also been placed nnder the ban of the Board. Some of the proprietors of the lattor .claea of drinking-houses have expressed their wil dingneas to pay $3.000 per annum for license to .eliliquor. This shows how intimately associated with liqnor-drinbiug all the other vices are, aud suggest the possibility that tho price for licenses has Dean fixed somewhat too low. Thns'far no -woman has been Hoon sod. Tho Board, ho wovor, bave not determined to grant no licenses to wo men, and it is more than likely somo will be grant ed; but, thoso who keep brothel??, or harbor pros titutes, will no doubt beintordiotod. These rulot? will probably effectually olose moro than one-third of ttio bousos in which liquor has heretofore been sold ; for tho drnggista aro also prohibited from selling unless thoy are willing to pay $250 for the privilege, wbioh has tho effeot of . total hinderanoe. Thus far, we believe, no druggist has made application for a lioenae, whioh ?howe bow utterly unnecessary the aalo of liquor is to the enooess of their legltimato business. It is estimated, however, that within the Metropoli tan Polios District, "exolndfng the county of WoBt cheutor," about 0000 persons ?rill bo licensed to .eil liqnors. Estimating three-fourths of thoso as flrat-olass licenses, we bave a revenue of $1,125, 000 from liquor drinking, while tbe remaining 1,500 UoouBOB will pay $150,000 for tho salo or al? and beer, making a grand total of $1,275,000 willingly paid for the privilege of dealing in oplrltuoua 11 ?r-ore. The value of the trade may be surmised rom these data. We are credibly Informed thai $00,OOD,000 worth of liquor waa draak in New "Vork during the last year ; but se It waa then sold with out restraint we am led to believe a smaller sum Will ohange hand? under the new regime. When wo romombflr th/it 11 doatbo from starvation and an equal ntupte from "inking took plaoo in the city daring tho threo weeks ondlng ?faye.

The Savannah Republican of Saturday, the 26th, re ports the following In reference to the loss of the steamer Standish, st Venn? Point, below that city : "On Thursday, 34th last, we took 260 bal.? of upland cotton on board at White's Press, for the ship Obarlotto. At 6 o'clock P M, wo cast off fruin wh.rf and proceeded down the river. At 7 o'clock arrived at tbe ship, wbloh waa lying at Fivo Fathom Anchorage. The tide at the time waa ebb, and the wind east. At 10 o'clock we dis co vertid the fact that the cotton under the hurric-io deck waa OB. fire. The fresh wind which was blowing caused the fire to spread so rap-dly that in five minutes the whole vessel was enveloped lu flame?, and it was only with great difficulty that the officers and orow es caped with their lives. Bofore the steamer cuuld be cut loose from the ship, the latter caught Are in three places, which wa?, however, successfully extinguished without any serious damage. A? soon sa the steamer had g t clear from thoahip, we proceeded in ?mall boats to ondeavor to ?ave whatever property we possibly could under the clrcumstauceB; but, In con.eriueuco of the intense heat from the burning vessel, the attempt was rendered futile. After the lapso of half an hour wia wera enabled to got close enough to h? r to fasten a Uno to her now, by which we ondeavorcd to ?on- her on tbo Hors?. Shoe Shoals; but, filling in doing so, we towed her to tbo north bank ot the river, about a quarter of a mile west of Mud River, and fa-tened her to a tro-, where she burned to the water's edge lu five feet water st half-flood tide, a? d subsequently ?unk there." The 8- __- was valued at $00.-o, owned b v the firm of H J Dickereon at Co, and was lusured for $4000. Her cotton was fully insured at Lloyd's. GREAT REDUCTION OF DRESS GOODS.
