We could not learn how the corflagration originated, but it is said that the fire was first seen breaking cut at the eaves in the rear and at the back door, at the same time; exciting a Suspicion that the incendiary had there been at work. We learn that, on repeated occasions, re- cently, the police Lave been obliged to drive away from the engine-houses small parties who were in. the habit of assembling inside during the day, and who had no bus‘ness there, but it is said that when the fire was first seen, there was nobody on the premises. It is due to the public that there be a full investigation into the oceurrence, as it cannot be believed that the fire originated in “spon- taneous gombustion '” Tue Late Kinuixe Arrair.—We briefly an- nounced, yesterday, the death of Mrs plore Sullivan, who was killed yesterday morning, in — of the reckless driving of a © neighborhood of Four-and-a-half lad, in ti street and Pennsylvania avenue. She was crossing the flagging, when she was struck by the horse, and teowate the ground This produced a concussion of the brain, of which she died within two hours from the time of the occurrence. The driver rushed on his way, without stopping his wagon for a mo- ment to inquire into the result of his criminal conduct. e © woman, insensible to all around her, had been carried into the drug store of Mr. W. H. Gilman, and the profes sional services of Doctors Semmes, Stettinins, and Boyle summoned in vain The coroner's jury, having held an inquest over the body, rendered the filowing rene “ That the deceased was crossing Four-and- a-balf street at its intersection with the north ue, and was within ten or twelve feet of the west side of said Four- alf street, when she was struck and knocked down by a horse, and run over by a bugzy attached to the horse, driven violently down Four-and-a-half street by a boy to the urors unknown, and that, falling, she struck er head against og ems stones of the street, a the brain, of which she died im about an hour and three quarters ; and the jury further find that the said boy was driving in a criminally careless and reck- less manner, and was fully able to have stop- side of Pennsylvania and- causing coneussion ped his horse before striking the deceased.” The Geceased wis the mother of five or six children, and had a worthy busband. We trust that the driver of the bu; who p thus occasioned the death of Mrs. Sullivan will be arrested, as it is due to the public that an example should be msde of him and of all those who recklessly dash along our public streets, not seeming to care for the destruction of human life. Tax Natroxan Taearee —Last night wo visited this establishment, and, in common with many others, enjoyed a really intellec- tual treat. Mr. James W. Wallack, Jr.’s ‘*- Werner’’ was a masterpiece of acting —a fin- ished. correct model of Byron’sereation; in fact, we do not remember ever areas @ per- loyed de- formance that gave us so much unal light. Messrs. Howe and Adams were unu- > = sually fine, and besides rendering Mr. Wal- lack effective service, made a most decided impression on the audience, that must even- tually result favorably for them. Mrs. Me- linda Jones was at home im her character, and at the end of the piece was cailed before the curtain to receive the approbation of her friends and admirers On Saturday Mr. and Mrs. Berney Williams will appear in three Pieces.

Tus Lapies’ Farn.—Last night, there was a large attendance cf ladies and gentlemen at Odd Fellows Hall; and all appeared to enjoy themselves finely. In an article on fairs of this description, an soehones says: ‘Women cory abhor — We believe if they had management peeuni: affairs, the cash ah B le would be akant universal. Hence the frequent and 2 8 efforts of the ladies to pay off church debts, those chronic sores which their lords have allowed to open and fester upon the eeclesiastical body, a last- ing hindrance and intermission to healthy cireulation and efficient action. We heartily sympathise, as every gallant and efficient man must, with such efforts. If we had the means we should gladden their hearts with our mu- nificent donation,”’ Procession AND ILLUMINATION.—To-night, the Know Nothings of this District intend having a torch light procession, the route com- prising only eight miles!
