NEW-YORK, December 27.

CONTINUED ALARM!

Citizens, your call to be vigilant becomes daily more important—Several incendiary attempts were made in this city on Saturday evening, under cover of unlighted streets.

Two men were seen to throw something into a yard in Fly-market at 8 o'clock—which was immediately traced and found to be combustibles on fire. The men escaped.

Same night the kitchen of the house at the corner of Fly-market and Water Street was found in flames, but fortunately discovered soon enough to recognise marks of design, and to extinguish it without much difficulty.

Last Thursday morning, about 4 o'clock, the door of the stable belonging to Messrs. Tucknes and Loundes, adjoining their dwelling house in Pearl street, was discovered to have been violently broken open—the lock of the door having been forced off, and a most daring attempt made to set the building on fire; as a fire brand was found in the stall, under the horse, which fortunately did not communicate in consequence of the wetness of the floor.

An attempt was made on Friday night to set fire to the house of Peter Williams, tobacconist, William Street; the matches and combustibles were found next morning in a place between buildings, but providentially it failed of success—Citizens, do not relax in your exertions, to keep a good look out
