Tho most streuuous efforts haye been made by Mitchell’s friends to havo the facts in the cass suppresscd, but they will hardly be successful. A few months ago Mitcliell was doing a large buelncss, the Com- mercial Insuranco Company alone retaining his scrvices at a subsidy of $300 & week. It was discovered, havever, that ho had been. guilty, while transacting thelr business, of accepting fees for advico to parties with whom that Com- ‘pany wero fn litigation, and this led to his dis- missal from the Bar Assaciation of this city, and the begioning of legal prococdings sgalnst him for unmprofessional condact, wnich culminated & few days siuce in a verdict of giiley of severslof the counts in tho chargo preterrod against him, About 8 o'clock this rfternoon Mr, Mitchell called at tho banking-house of L. Coquard, on the corner of Thind and Pine streots, and left a note for 8300, signed by aman named Edward Matthews and indorse’s by himsell and Col. J.

The Colonel nnd Mr, Mitcnall were imme. .rll:(aly sent for, The former arrived first, and b onco stated that the signaturo on the back waa not his ovvs. Anticipating tho arrival of Mr. Mitetiell, Mr, Coquard sent down to the polfts station for an uflicer to arrest him. The messenger barely departed when Mr. Mirchell was seen to ap- and der that his 3 prunch, In or nignt be fltmiy established, Col, Drodhead, at Mr, Coquard's nurzem‘m. took up his position Jchind & door in the office. ~Assoon ss Mr. Mitchell entercd the place, Mr, Coquard told 3im that he had offered the nate to oncof hls tustomers, \hohad pronounced Col. Brodhicad's ¥rdorsement to be a forgery. Mr, Mitchell za- sumed deep {ndignation st hearing this, and #ald with much emphasis: I tell you, sir, that <ol, Brodhend {ndorsed that note!” Where- mpon the Colonel lu:pgcd from hls’ hiding-placa atically, Ang [ tellyou, .ir, that 1 did not!" In the ‘middle of the -excitement which ensued, Turnkey Dradley, of the Chicstnut Statlon, srrived on the scenc.

Tho officer, bowaver, grabbed him by the turoat and choked him so vigorously that hio was forced to expectorate the paper, when it was found that be had swallowed ono of tho halvesof the notes,—unfortuuately for him, how- ever, the half which did not “contain Col. Drodhead's indorsemenc. ‘The officer ime mediately handcuffed his prisoncr and took him 10 the station, whero Mr. Mitchell mada suchn Blieo s appoal to Col, Drodhead that that gen- cman agreed not to prosecuta the case, and he was accordiuly diacharged.

Thehoarsc eriesof the fircinen, the hissing steam, tho crash of breaking eloss, and the nolsy exhaust of the steamers soon attracted a large crowd of sight-scers from tho theatres and neighboring ealoons. The guests and employes of the Tremont and Cosne mercial Hotels wers carly on the qul vive, and watchied the struggle of the firemen with the flnines with considerablo Interest. ‘The windows looking out on the alley in the rear of the bullding were protected with fron shutters, which fastened on the Inside. While these delayed the effortd of the firemen, who were statloned in the alley, and necessitated the forelble removal of the fron plates from one of the windows 50 that & stream could be thrown In, yet they were of good setvice in another di- rectlon.

The proprie- tors of the hovses promptly stationed guards at the dours and 'stairways, permitted but few to enter, and sliowed none but boarders to zo u stairs, Within the hotels ail was bustle and confusion. The boarders and servants hurried to and fro f thelr preparations for & hasty exit, and the greatest consternation, though for & moment ouly, prevalled, The vrompt and decisive action of the managers of the hotels in sending penpla back to their beds killed the scare, not, however, before one per- aan, Mary Cres, the asslstant housckeeper at the Tremont House, had broken bLer leg in her excited efforts to get uvon the roof of the hotel.

From out the scuttia In the exact centre ol the roof came a perpendicular stream of flame that shot upwards to the hefeht of Bty or sixty fect. At yarisus piaces in the roof the smoke poured out In buzs Liack volumes, and an occasional flash showed the flerceness of the sectbing masa beneath, The flremen on the roof kent a steady stream pouring futo tho scuttle with ~ ?sible extingulshing effect, an Intrepldly chopped holes through the roof and directed the quenclung flood thither. Their act- ivc eflorts were watched bg hundreds of per- sons in the surrounding bufldings, and not un- til the darkness had agaln settled down upon the ruins, and nothing could be seen but the dim glimmer of the lanterns moviog about in tue smoke, did the people who gazed from the surrounding bulldings retire. Mr. & P. Olderalaw, a boarder at the Tre- mont Houee, said that about au hour and » hal{ before the alarin sounded lie smelled smoke ns he passcd along Lake street, and remarked ta his wife, who walked by his side, that there must be a fire in the neighborhood. Mr. Jewett Wilcox, the manager of the Tre- mant Housc, safd that some ot the people in the house heard a pistol-shot on the street, and gluncing across Lako street saw that the whole third floor of the bullding opposite was 8 mass of {lames, which spread rapidly to the fourth floor ard borst out of the windows. At ono time the panes of glass fn the windows of tho Tremont were liot. Mr. Wilcox s sure that the fire originated on the third floor of thebuliding. TIHE REABON WAT. To tho crowd on the pavement It seemed strange that there wero 80 few streams kept on the bullding after It was clear that the firo was under _contral, Marshal Benner, in_talking to Ald. Kirk, explained that he was well acquaint- ed with the bullding, having made a thorough survey of it only & few weeks ago. Ho was then satisfied that it was not well supported, and that ony cxtraonlinary pressure might cause dmnage. As he vxpressed it, ¢ If T nad kept all the streams on I could have washed the whole bulldinge down,' which he explained to mean that lio was afrald that the zreat welght of water, sdded to that of the presses, would break down the floors. It seems that the store {6 not supported In the centre, though the upper floors are. - The effect of this is that the whole weight is borne by the joists of the sece ond story. ALD, KIRX.
