Burr's curt, rude, and offensive reply began with intimating fhat Hamilton's letter was greatly deficient in that sincerity and delicacy which he pro fessed so much to value. Tho epithet in question in the common understanding of it, implied dishonor. It having been affixed to Burr's name upon Hamilton's authority, he was bound to say whether he had authorised it, either directly, or by uttering expressions or opinions derogatory to Burr's honor. It was apparent from this letter, and it was sub sequently distinctly stated by Van Ness, that what Burr required was, a general disavowal ou the part of Hamilton of any intention, in any conversation he might ever have held, to convey impressions derogatory to the honor of Burr. Granting Burr's right to make this extraordinary inquisition into Hamilton's confidential conversations and correspondence, it would have been quite out of the question for Hamilton to make any such disavowal.

His practice as a lawyer had given him full insight into Burr's swindling pecuniary transactions; and he had long regarded him, in his private as well as his political character, as a consummate villain, as reckless and unprincipled as lie? was cool, audacious, and enterprising an opinion which he had found frequent occasiou to express more or less distinctly while warning his fedoral friends against the cunning r.rts of Burr. Desirous, however, lo deprive Burr of any possible excuse for persisting in his murderous intentions, Hamilton caused a paper to bo transmitted to him, through Pendleton, a brother lawyer, who acted as his friend in this matter, to the effect lhat, if properly addressed for Burr's second letter was considered too insulting to admit of a reply he should be willing to stale that the conversation alluded to by Dr. Cooper, so far as he could recall it, was wholly in relation to politics, aud did not touch upon Burr's private character; nor should he hesr tate to make an equally prompt avowal or is.i.. voival as to any other particular and specific conversation as to which he might be questioned. But as Burr's only object was to find a pretext ibru challenge, since he never could have expected tho general disavowal which he demanded, this offer was pronounced unsatisfactory aud a mere evasion; and agaiu, a second time, disavowing in the same broath the charge made against him of predetermined hostility, Burr requested Van Ness; to deliver a challenge.

Even after its delivery, Hamilton made a further attempt at pacific arrangement in a second paper, denying any attempt AN ACT TO ESTABLISH FIRE LIMITS, AND FOR TII13 MORE EFFECTUAL PREVENTION OF FIRES IN THE CITY OF BROOKLYN.

BY PETER FISHER REED. I have found out the Temple of Beauty I have seen where fair Innocence dwells Where Virtue holds the sentinel's duty O'er the passions enclosed in her cells And naught can compare with the palace Where beautiful Innocence dwells. I have found out the truth by token A token that beams from thine eye, When the love of thy bosom has woken The thought that comes forth in a sigh And no language was ever yet spoken, That with that soft language can vie. My Kate is the Temple of Beauty Its idol, her virtue divine And I'll sacrifice love, as a duty, At the shrine of this loved one of mine. 'Tis the sweetest of all my life's pleasures To bow at so holy a shrine.

She is fair as the flowers that blossom In the reign of tho rosy May queen That bloom on the beautiful bosom Of May in her mantle of green That embroider, with roseate genius, Her vesture of green. And this is the reason that flowers Do filter their fragrance through air, From the depths of dew bedecked bowers; 'Tis to perfume the bright and the fair. To cheer up the honey moon hours Of those who are happy and fair. Like the language the flowers have spoken, Is the voice of my loved one to me And remembrance remains as a token Of bliss that forever shall be And the love tie shall never be broken That binds my beloved to me. Though the summer may suddenly vanish, And the flowers may wither and die, All sorrow and sadness I'll banish, And bask in the smile of her eye, For life's wearisome walks she will brighten With the life and the light of her eye.

Seatlt of Hamilton. From Hildreth'a History of the United States. Disappointed, and all his hopes blighted, as he believed, by Hamilton's instrumentality, Burr became eager for vengeance. Humiliating was the contrast between himself aud Hamilton, to whom, in his anger, be was ready to ascribe; not his political defeat merely, but his blasted character also. Though fallen from his former station of commanding influence in the conduct of affairs, Hamilton still enjoyed the unbounded confidence of a party, outnumbered, indeed, but too respectable to be despised; while, of bis bitterest opponents, none, wilh any pretensions to character or candor, doubted his honor or questioned his integrity.

Burr, on the other hand, saw himself distrusted and suspected by every body, and just about to sink alike into political annihilation and pecuniary ruin. Two mouths' meditation on this desperate slate of affairs wrought up hiB cold, implacable spirit to the point of risking his own life to take that of his rival. He might have even entertained the insane hope for though cunning and dexterous to a remark, able degree, he bad no great intellect that Ham illon killed or disgraced, and thus removed out of the way, he might yet retrieve his desperate fortunes. Among oilier publications made in the course of the latsreontest were two letters by Dr. Cooper, a zealous partisan of Lewis, in one of which it was alleged that Hamilton had spoken of Burr as a "dangerous man, who ought not to be trusted with the reins.

of government." In the other letter, after repeating tho above statement, added, "I could detail to you a still more despicable opinion which General Hamilton has expressed of Mr. Burr." Upon this latter passage Burr seized as the meanB of forcing Hamilton into a duel. For his agent and assitant therein he selected William P. Van Ness, a young lawyer, one of bis most attached partisans, and not less dark, designing, cool, and implacable than himself. Van Ness was sent to Hamilton wilh a copy of Cooper's printed letter and a note from Burr, insisting upon "a prompt and unqualified acknowledgment or denial of the use of any expressions which would warrant Cooper's assertions." Perfectly well acquainted with Surr and Van Ness, and perceiving as well from Van NeBs's conversation as from Burr's note a settled intention to fix a quarrel upon him, Hamilton declined any immediate answer, promising a reply in writing at his earliest convenience.

In that reply he called Burr's attention Jo the fact that the word "despicable," however in its general signification it might imply imputations upon personal honor as to which explanations might bo asked, yet, from its connection, as used in Dr. Cooper's letter, it apparently related moroly lo qualifications for political office, and as nothiug was said about tho more definate statement referred to in the same letter, as to which it sccmad to be admitted that no explanation was demandable. Still, Hamilton expressed a perfect readiness lo avow or disavow any specific opinion which lie might be charged with having uttered but added that he never would consent to be interrogated generally as lo whether he bad eversuid anything in the course of fiiteen years of political competition, to justify inferences others might have drawn, thus exposing his candor and to injurious imputation on tho part of ail who might have misapprehended him. "Moro than this," so the letter concluded, not fitly be expected from me especially, it can not bo reasonably expected that I shall enter into any explanations upon a basis so vague as that you have adopted. I trust, on more reflection, you will see the matter in tho same light.

If nut, I can only regret the circumstance, and must abide the consequences." 1 iy. livery WOOUOn or iramo nuuuuig tin uricn iroiiu or otherwise, within the district Described in sectkinor.f of this Is or iib Iho suroo mny hereatur be exundtd lhat shall bo dumngea Dy nre to an umoum not grenier than two thirds of the value of said before such fire may bo rouaircd or to section twelve of tbiaact; if such damage amounts to moro than two thirds such value, then such building shall not be repair lor rebuilt, but shall be taken down or removed. 20.

CtOKPOKATION NOTICE Opening Third avo nuo from Middle to Carroll stroet.

Remonstrances (If any) against the Bald opening must be presented to the Common Council on or before the 23d day of August as thoy will finally act upon tho same ut their next emuilng meeting, or us soon thereafter is convenient. Brooklyn, Auia LAWRENCE au2 aw street Commissioner. to evade, or intention to insult, as had been insinuated, with particular reference to the closing paragraph of Hamilton's first letter, iu Burr's observations, through Van Ness, on Hamilton's first paper.

But this second paper Van Ness refused to receive, on the ground that the challangc had been already given and accepted. It was insisted, however, on Hamilton's part, as tho Federal Circuit Court was in session, in which he had many important cases, that the meeting should be postponed till the court was over, since he was not willing by any act of his, lo expose his clients to embarrassment, loss or delay. It was not at all in the sphit of a professed duellist, it was not upon any paltry point of honor, that Hamilton accepted this extraordinary challenge, by which it was attempted to hold him answerable for the numerous imputations on Burr's character bandied about in conversation and the newspapers fur two or three years past. The practice of duelling he utlerly condemned; indeed, ho had himself already been a victim to it in the loss of his oldest son, ahoy of twenty, in a political duel somo two years previously, As a private citizen, as a man under the influence of moral and religious sentiments, as a husband loving and loved, and the father of a numerous and dependent family, as a debtor honorably disposed, whose creditors might suffer by his death, he had every motive for avoiding the meeting. So he stated iu a paper which, under a premonition of his fate, he took care to leave behind him.

It was in his cha racier of a public man it was in that lofty spirit of patriotism, of which examples are so rare, rising high above all personal and private considerations a spirit magnanimous and self sacrificing lo the last however iu this instance uncalled for and mistaken that he accepted the fatal challenge. 'The ability to be in future such was his own statement oThis motives, 'whether in resisting mischief or effecthig good in those crises of our public affairs which seem likely to happen, would piobably be inseparable from a conformity with prejudice in this particular. With that candor toward his opponents by which Hamilton was ever so nobly distinguished, but of which, so very seldom, indeed, did he over experi ence any return, he disavowed in this paper, Ihc last he ever wrote, any disposition to affix odium to Burr's conduct in this particular case. Ho denied feeling toward Burr any personal ill will, while he admitted that Burr might naturally be influenced against him by hearing of strong animadversions in which he had indulged, and which, as usually happens, might probably have been aggravated in the report. Those animadversions, in some cases, might have been occasioned by misconstruction or misinformationj.yet his censures had not proceeded on light grounds or unworthy motives, From tho possibility, howeyer, that he might have injured Burr, as well as from his general principles and temper in relation to such affairs, he had come to the resolution which he left on record, and com municated also to his second, to withhold and throw away his first fire, and perhaps even his second; thus rjiving to Burr a double opportunity to pause and reflect.

The grounds of Weehawk, on the Jersey shore, opposite New York, were at that time the usual field of these single combats, then chiefly by reason of the inflamed state of political feeling, of frequent occurrence, and very seldom ending without bloodshed The day having been fixed and the hour appointed at seven o'clock in themorning, the parties met, accompanied only by their seconds. The bargemen, as well as Dr. Hosack, the surgeon mutually agreed upon, remained, as usual, at a distance, in order, if any fatal result should occur, not to be witnesses. The parties having exchanged salutations, the seconds measured the distance of ton paces; loaded the pistols made the other preliminary arrangements; and placed the combatants. At tho appointed signal, Burr took deliberate aim and fired.

The ball entered Hamilton's side, and as he fell, his pistol too was dischorged. Burr approached him somewhat moved but on the suggestion of his second, the surgeon and bargemen already approaching, he turned and hastened away. Van Ness coolly covering him from their sight by opening an umbrella. The surgeon found Hamilton half lying, half sitting on the ground, suppprtod in the arms of his second. The pallor of death was on his face.

he said, 'this is a mortal wound and if overcome by the effort of speaking, ho swooned quite away. As he was carried across the river the fresh breeze revived him. His own house being in the country, he was conveyed at once to the houso of a friend, where he lingered for twentyfour hours in great agony, but preserving his composure and self command to the last. The news of his death, diffused through the city, produced the greatest excitement. Even that party hostility of which he had been so conspicuous an object was quelled for thejmoment.

All were now willinfi to admit that he was not less patriotic than able, and that in his untimely death for he was only in hs forty eighth year the country had suffered an irreparable loss. The general feeling expressed 'itself in a public ceremony, the mournful pomp of which the city had never seen equalled.
