Annual Report of the Chief Engineer Expenses of the Department-Losses by Fire-insurance-Annual Parad e Saggestion?, &C. We are Indebted to Mr. M. H. Nathan, the efficient chief of the Fire Department, for a copy of his annual report to the Board of Fire masters, showing thkcondition of the depart? ment for the year ending April 27th, 1870. From this report we gather the following statements : THE REDUCTION* OF PAT of the fire companies by the City Council is the first subject treated of by the chief, who re? cites that the burderr of paying the expenses incident ta the maintenance of a steam fire department, necessarily great, were never in? tended to fall on the individual companies. "On tho contrary, two years ago, when the the advantages of the system had been fully tested and approved, the city allowed to each steamer $3000, to each hand engine $1600, and to each truck company $1200 per annum, to the end that the members themselves should not be called upon to perform all thc labor and bear all the cost. Recently, however, the City Council have thought proper to reduce these amounts, and it is left to the several companies themselves to meet the obligations that may be incurred1 or contract Indebtedness." The chief is "sure that no company organization requires a larger appropriation than is neces? sary to meet actual expenses; yet, after the payment of engineers and firemen, paying for oils, repairs, and other incidentals, absolutely nothing will be left for the purchase of hose, of which In a short time nearly every company will be in want. Similar remarks will apply to the hand engine companies, whose pay has been reduced to $800 per annum, and to the trucks, whose pay has been reduced to $500.*' He, however, "ls confident the City Council do not desire to see any of these valuable or? ganizations involved in debt," and believes that "when the facts are made known to that body, they will be induced to review their late action and concede that appropriation which will relieve the department from its diffi? culty." The chief, after asserting that the members of the department compose a benevolent in? stitution, freely giving their labor and time to the community In which they live, and only asking that they shall be protected and suc? cored in this unselfish work, proceeds to speak of TBE EXPENSES OF THE DEPATMEXT, which "in the last year amounted to $37,296 29, being in excess of the expenses of the year end? ing April 27th, 1869, $6775 29. It ls unneces? sary," says the chief, "to enter into detail of the canse of this increase. The expenses of the next year, according to the new bill passed by the City Council In February last, will be $30,000. No department, eitlier paid or volun? teer, in the United States, containing twenty one companies, is kept up at so small an out? lay as ours. Paid departments, with four steamers, cost more money than our own; and the best statistics can be produced to show that a palo department, consisting of five steamers, would cost the City of Charleston at least $100,000 to organize it alone, while the yearly expenses Incidental thereto would not be less than $40,000. With the present scarcity of water, such a change would expose the property of our taxpayers lo the mercy of the element." FntE9 AND INSURANCE. Since the last report, says the chief, "there dave been twenty-one fires and fourteen liar ms and attempts to set fire, Involving a oss of property amounting to $136,099. The unount of Insurance effected on the property so endangered was $290,600. The amount of .oases paid by our insurance agencies and our one borne office is $93,470, showing a loss of real estate' and merchandise over Insurance paid of $42,629. The losses paid this yearby insurance are less than the last yearby $37, S10. The total amount of losses are also $30,- ? 196 less this year, whilst the excess of loss 3ver insurance is $7314 over those ol the last year. The largest fire was at the store of Messrs. H. K lat te & Co. The headway of this ore was due to the large quantity of liquor in the store, and it burned so rapidly that all ef? forts to save the stock were of no avail. Much of the stock'of Mr. Wolhtmann's, in tho ad. loinlng store, could have been saved had there been any one authorized to remove lt. This stock was insured in New York." INVESTIGATION OF FIRES, AC. The chief states that he has made careful investigations to ascertain the cause of each ore which- has occurred, "and, whilst there has been strong circumstantial evideuce in several cases, no positive proof could be ad? duced to convict parties." He, however, "ls convinced that several fires have been set by parties directly Interested." As regards the tidal drains, he says they have been used in most cases where the fires have been in prox? imity to them. The keeper, so far as he could judge, "has attended carefully to his charge." The engine houses are,the chief says, lu need of repairs, and although Council ordered them to be made, the wort: has not been commenced. The house of "the Palmetto Company ls In <t dangerous condition, and should be fixed at once. The Young America and Pioneer Com? panies are still renting very poor places at large prices. Buildings should be erected for these companies, as their property is valuable and require dry houses. The houses occupied by several of the colored companies also need repairs. The city ls now paying rent for four companies, amounting to near $800 per an? num." NHW COMPANIHS, *C. "The United, Union Star and Promptitude, colored companies, have been admitted into the department by the city authorities" since the last report. "The Hope, Stonewall and Ger? man companies have, in place of their hand engines, procured steamers of powerful ability, from the Amoskeag manufactory, of Manches? ter, N. H., so that there are now eleven steam? ers, two hook and ladder trucks and one baud engine belonging to the white companies, aud seven band engines belonging to the colored companies." The necessity for a fire alarm still exists, says the chief, and also for three large fire wells on East Bay, between Market and Tradd streets. THE ANNUAL INSPECTION. "The auuual Inspection, in accordance with the city ordinance, took place on the 27th of April, and the entire department was inspect ed and exercised by the honorable Mayor and Aldermen. Reports of companies are here? with submitted, showing the condition of en? gines, hose and strength of members. You will observe that some of them show a scarcity of hose, whilst others are reported In bad con? dition. An engine without hose at fires ls of no use. Each baud engine should have at least five hundred feet of serviceable hose, and each steamer one thousand feet" MEMBERS OK COMPANIES.

A negro boy left In charge ol the house during the absence of the family, fired the building, and then went to several neighbors living la the neighbor? hood and reported that robbers had come to the house and set it on Are. Several gentle? men gathered Immediately at the residence, and were satisfied from what they saw that his tale was 'a fabrication. Finding that he was not successful in making them believe his story, he confessed having set fire to the house himself. He bad on a previous occasion stolen money from Mr. Eaddy^ Governor Scott will at once prepare a pardon. FIRE IN BARN W BIA..-A correspondent ol THE NEWS writes: "On Saturday night last the kitchen of Mr. A. W. Smoak, who resides a few miles beyond Edlsto River, in Barnwell County, was entirely consumed by fire. Mr. Smoak s kitchen being near his dwelling house threw lt in a perilous condition, and but fer the exertions of himself and sons would undoubtedly have been consumed also. Thc origin of the fire is unknown. On first discov? ering it the whole root was In a blaze. Mr. Smoak's loss is very heavy." ANOTHER LECTURE FROM FATHER CARESSE.

DEAR Sm-The undersigned have been appointed a committee ou behalf of the Catho? lics of the several congregations of this city, to Invite you to address, once more, Its Inhabi? tants In a public hall, the time and subject being at your own option.

Hoping that'our request may meet with a favorable consideration, we have the honor lo remain, with sentiments of sincerest esteem, Your most humble and Obedient servants, Rev. F. J.

[p. c.] CHARLESTON, June 13, 1870. \ GENTLEMEN-The kindness and sympathy which I have received from all classes in Charleston, render any testimonial superflu? ous, and my first thought would be to reject even the modified form in which you are pleas? ed lo offer one. But as this would be, I know, distasteful to you, and as it is, moreover, an enjoyment tor myself tn address so apprecia? tive an audience as I have found in your city, I am willing to accept the proposl' lon, provid? ed that I may share the proceeds with the Parochial School of the Cathedral. The time and place I leave to yourselves, and I would choose for subject, "Parental Love. Its Nature, Duties, Trials," as being one that offers no point of disagreement, and can alarm no sensibilities in any who may desire to attend. Your grateful and obedient servant in Christ, F. P.
