It ie Disposed at Niw York, June 1&—Another disastrous Ore among the great oil refineries at Greenpoint, L. I., broke out at 9 o'clock Sunday morning. The works, comprising refineries*, ■beds, storehouses and fifty tanks of refine 1 oil, were owned by Louo & Fleming. The fire burned fiercely nearly all day, throwing up a dense cloud of black smoke, which hung like a pall over the city. The entire flro department of Groenpoint, together with what assistance could be obtained from Now York and Brooklyn, was kept busy all day fighting the flames. The works covered an area of five blocks, and nearly 40,000 barrels of oil were destroyed. The loss, as nearly as can now be estimated, will reach not lees than (60,000; insurance not known. The origin of the fire was the explosion of one of the ■team tanks. able Representation. Ministry. New York, June 10.—One of the seneetionrU stories in Wall street Saturday was that the shrinkage in railroad securities— which has undoubtedly impaired the capital of Mr. Jay Ciould to a great extent—lias reached such a disastrous point that Mr. Qould's notes had gone to protest, and that he was oa the verge of failure. Like many emanations from "the rumor committee" to tho neighborhood of the Stock Exchange, tbo story that Mr. Gould is in financial difficulties proved to be untrue. The only foundation for tho report proved to be the fact that tho notos of the Wabash railroad company, in which Mr. Gould is a large owner, had gone to protest It is said that there are about $2,000,000 outstanding in notes of the Wabash company, is uod for betterments, equipments, makitenance, etc., and bearing the indorsements of President Solon Humphreys, Mr. Gould, Mr. Sidney Dillon and Mr. Russell Base, who sre the heaviest stockholders of the company. The railroad recently passed into the hands of Mr. Solon Humphreys, as receiver. The notes were issued from time to time within the past ystur as a last resource, in the hope of tiding the company over its troubles. ■hermata Deal rea to Ignore PI at fori Platitudes—The Postal Telegraph ■BUI—The Hew Terk Banks to Be Investigated.

ISo. at D.uggis:*. Washington, June IS.—There is a bewildering incertitude about senate affairs. The pension bill has been up and down for several week*. A mend mm t after amendment has been rejected, and tan days ago it was believed that the MO would pan as it came from the bouse. At that time Gen. Ijogan wished for this consummation. How he feels after his vice-presidential nomination is not known. The pension plank in the Chicago platform seems to have upset the equilibrium of the Republican senators. Mr. Ingalls, a keen and influential statesman, wants the bill to embody the views of the Republican party as set forth in the platform of the convention. Mr. Sherman desires to ignore platform platitudes and go in for necessary improvements to the genvrol pension law. The caucus on Friday had no definite result Among tbe probabilities i* another caucus consultation to agreo upon a definite plan of action. It may be cs resultless as the last, but something has to bo done sooner or later. Nkw York, June 16.—There was a well-attended evening of the London, June 16.—The opposition are rapidly organizing for a final and prolonged assault on the government's foreign policy on the occasion of Mr. Gladstone's promised itatement concerning the Anglo French agreement on Thursday next. Among the questions threatened to be pushed is one as to whether the government has knowingly permitted false information to be circulated in England concerning the situation in the Soudan. On the 11th inst, Lord Edmund Fitzmaurice, under foreign secretary, in answer to a direct question whether it was true, as stated in a Cairo despatch of Juno 2, that Berber had fallen on June 1, and its inhabitants been massacred, distinctly said that it was not true. The under secretary went further, and said that information from the Khedive corroborated the dispatches alloged to have been sent to Cairo by tho Murdir of Dongola, to the effect that the siege of Berber had been actually raised, and the insurgent forces about the town dispersed. An attempt will be made to show that tho government had ill its possession knowledge of the actual state of affairs, and purposely arranged to conceal it, for fear of jeopardizing its negotiations with France. Tammany Hall committee on organization, ■John Kelly in the chair. Mr. Kelly referred to the way in which Tammany Hall had been excluded from state conventions, and said he thought it shoul l havo a just representation in the 'B.ratoga convention. Tho political situation demanded it, and Tammany's fidelity to party justified it Mr. Kelly hoped that tliore would be a lan;e representation in the state convention, and that claims would b« presented for an equitable representation for Tammany Wall' Resolutions were ottered to the effect that Tanfmany Hall for the last two years had accepted a minority representation. and it had been demonstrated that a majority of tho Democratic voters ot the city was embraced in that organization. The acceptance of such a representation was a sacrifice of Tammany Hall's natural rights to the conciliation of the discordant elementB into which the party was then divided. As tlie various branches of the Democracy were now hr.ppily reunited it was resolved that representation in proportion to numerical preponderance was a fundamental doctrine of sound Democracy. Tammany Hall accordingly demanded of the Democratic state convention a representation in that body at least equal in numbers to that of any other organization in the city as a matter of right and justice to tlie voters whom it represented, and without any inviduous distinction as to regularity. An amendment was ad Jed that representation in tho state convention equal to that of the Comity Democracy should be accorded, and that Tammany Hall would accept no other, and that if the demand were denied that Tammany Hall would appeal to the national convention.

Albany, June 18.—At 8 o'clock yesUirlav afternoon a fire broke out in Rose & AViibur's ice houses, in Bath-on-tlie- H u'son. Tho fire spread .apidly, and in a few mo ments the whole row, composing: clev.n peaks, or some 150 feet of roof, was n inas of flame, and tho building and content* v. er almost entirely destroyed.

York, June 16.—At a meeting of Irvln ; hall delegates to the Saratoga oonventi n, a resolution wus adopted appointing a C ommittee of live to demand as great a representation l'rom this cify in the convent!, .i as the County Democracy or Tammany hall. About $30,000 worth of these notes were recently sent on to this city from the west for collection, as they matured, and came into the custody of tho Union bank. Of tho $00,000 worth of notes referred to $86,000 were doe on May 31 and $35,000 on June 4. "These notes of the Wabash company," said an officer of the bank, "are held all over the country by banks and individuals, and ft would take a good deal of money to meet them all. 'When the notes reached the bank Mr. Humphreys, the receivor, was absent in St. Louis. He had made no provision to meet tho payments, and. no matter whose names were on the back of the paper, the safest policy for the bank to pursue, in view of recent developments in Wall street, was to protest the .paper." The Democrats of the body are getting restless. Some of tbem do not ooncml the fact that they are willing to go one bette r than their opponents in the pension bu:nC* s. What the outcome of those contending impulses may be is doubtful. The generally accepted theory is, that the bill will be amended in such a way that the Democrats cannot afford to reject it Howe\er that may be, is perfectly certain that there will be a lively debate, looking to campaign objects, before tbe measure is disposed of.

The meeting of the commission is now called to take action upon the work of the engineers, ind to decide upon the best plan to rocommend to the shareholders at their meeting in July.

He will undoubtedly press the consideration of tho Utah bill at the earliest possible moment The notes had not been paid before going to protest because if they had Messrs.

If it is, tjere will be an interesting discussion. The senators on the Democratic side are primed with attacks on the national banking syK tem, especially with rsference to the inP munity enjoyed by officers who have cither defeated or beop otherwise at fault in tueir official capacity. The experience of the j oat few days leads to the opinion that most of the future business will be conducted oil a plan calculated to affect the issues of the campaign, and without reference at all to pressing demonds of national legislation.

Eriltoeport, Ct., Juno 16,—Tho white caatcd wires which the electric light system has rendered necessary to introduce in our streets are tempting objects for playful boys to seiza on. Boys have Ufean cautioned to exercise care in touching or handling them, and as a rule the caution has been heeded; but last evening, a boy, aged 11 years, named Emil Scliultheiss, lost his lift} by refusing to do Us he had been told.' He was near Seaside park, in company with two companions of tho same ago. They were very happy, having just closed on the winning side of a game at baseball.
