TREMENDOUS CONFLAGRATION—WATERTOWN A Hear or Kvuixs.—This morning, at three o’clock, a fire broke out in the rear buildings of the American Hotel or the book store of L. Paddock, uncertain which and in a very few minutes, owing tothe explosion of some inflammable substance, the adjoining buildings werein flames, There was agentle breeze, blowing from the southeast at the time, which conducted the fire up Arsenal and Court sts. On the former it extend- ed on both sides so far as to include the stage barns and buildings adjacent. ‘On the latter it swept both sides as far as the county clerk’s office. The building is fire proof, for here the clement was stayed by tipping off the wooden roof, and leaving nothing but the stone and brick for the fire to act on ‘The destruction is appalling, far exceeding anything Jefferson county has experienced before. At first the supposition prevailed that the fire was the work of an incendiary ; but we are happy to state, for the credit of our village, and human nature, that it probably arose from the spontaneous combustion of some kind of che- micals, stored by Mr. Druggist Camp, in *Paddock’s back store, ‘The heart of our village is in ruins; and where the buildings were of better order it is difficult to dixeri- minate, but we cannot forbear mentioning that the iron block, put up last season at great expense by N. M. Woodruif, Esq., 18 matter of general regret, as it ‘was a real ornament to the place. ‘The remains of u human body were found where some stage carriages were burned, supposed to be those of a frail sister who had been refused admission during the evening, where she had called for lodgings, ‘Some six or eight horses were burned. ‘The progress of the flames was so rapid that the loss of goods among the merchants must be very great, as most of them had received their spring supplies. The old brick building, formerly owned by Silas Marvin, on the west side of Washington street, as a hat store, had ee been purchased and torn down by L. Paddock, The vacant spot thus made prevented the further progress of the destroying element in this direction, Bue for this fortunate circumstance, it is believed the whole central part of our village would have gone by the board. We cannot present a better idea of the extent of the fire to those at a distance, who are unacquainted with our localities, than to state that the following blocks, buildings, and establishments are numbered among the The U. 8. sloop of war Falmouth, Com.

The extent of wholesale business done in Baltimore during the season just closed, has been rather better than any receding season, although country dealers have tia in smaller supphes than usual. The amount sold, therefore, whilst itdoes not exhibit a very great increase in the business of our city for the year, shows that an unusual number of new @ustomers have purchased here this season, and may be regarded as regular dealers for the future. Our large wholesale establishments consider that they have done better during the part season that they have ever done before, as in addition to the new customers they have received, their old friends have generally settled up all their former liabilities, which is a most essential matter to the mercantile, prosperity of a city. All that Baltimore lacks, is a few large importing houses, and when they are established, which will doubt- less be the case before the railroad reaches the Ohio, she will rival any of her Northern sisters am the extent of her trade.

On each ruceessive evenivg, it has been played with more and more éclat, und the vast audiences that have assembled on each cecasion of its performance. have received it with the greatest enthusiasm—sueh enthu- siusm ag this grand play is well jorthy of, We have never acen a more splendid scenic display than the one where Frence and England, in solemn court, hold con- clave, and the threatened thunders of the church, (where Bass. as the Cardinal Pandulph, piss 80 admi- rable,) so summarily conclude the meeting, the plead- ings of Blanche of Castile, (Miss Taylor) to Lewis. the Dauphin, and the counter pleadings of the noble Con- stance, (Mrs, Shaw) in behalf of young Arthur, .the subsequent encounter between Falconbridge and the Archduke of Austria, and the concluding portion of this scene, where young Arthur, in the power of King John. (Mr. Hamblin) is delivered over to the ten der care of Hubert (Mr Gilbert)—all form a succession of points. that. in the hands of the performers, are given with thrilling effect. Mr. Hamblin displays the most consummate Fkill, asan actor, in that portion of this scene where he seeks to persuade Hubert to “take care of” young Arthur; it was most admirably given. ‘Then, again, in the scene between Hubert and the young Prince Arthur, we never saw an audience so Moved by soyoung on actor. Master Hamblin, indeed, acts ina style which would do credit to many an adult actor of high pretensions, and is nightly received with immense applause, especially in this part of the play Gilbert plays the part of Hubert with his usual excel- lence. We have said the house was crowded, and wo are sure it will be soon every evening that this splen- did piece is played, It is ae revival of the legiti- mate drama, now-a-days, at the Bowery; and we are lad to see that a succession of Shaksperian plays have fren placed inactive preparation, to be presouted on the same magnificent kcale as heretofore, To-night, “King John,” and the farce of ‘Your Life’s in Danger.” Broapway Tueathe.—Now, since the thrilling melo- drama, the Jack Cades, and Spartacuses, and Damons and Pythias, and Metamoras have left an intermission at the Broadway, the gorgeous spectacle and maguifi- cent scenery, fairy sights and orlental splendor, have re-appeared, to charm and delight the frequenturs of this magnificent theatre. The order is good, because it is natural; sunshine and beauty generally follow thunder and lightning. “Monte-Cristo,”” however, is not a mere spectacle—it contains some dramatic scones of deep interest, in which great talent is called forth and exhibited by the excellont cast of this multifarious piece. Lester has a most laborious time of it, and is seldom absent from the scene, It is mere justice to say ofhim, that, in all the various parts he plays in~‘Monte- Cristo,” he exhibits very extraordinary talent. ‘The idea struck us, on witnessing his fine figure, melancholy aspect, the quietness yet truthfulness and spirit of his performance, that he would succeed well in that master rt of Hamlet, in which, since the days of Johu Kem- Te, Shakspeare has had no one capable of delinoating his great conception, Dyott, Hadaway, Vache, Shaw, Fredericks—all, deserve favorable mention, So, espe- cially, dces Mra, Abbott, always interesting and beau- tiful; Miss Wallack, always natural and simple; Mrs. Dyott, always correct; and Mrs. Isherwood, the very personification of acidity and phthisis, as the cross wife of the jolly Caderouse, Those who have not yet seen this beautiful piece, will, this evening, again have an opportunity of joining im’ safety the crowds which nightly meet, without interruption, at this splendid ta- bernable of Terpsichore, in Broadway. Nariowan Turatne.—We never laughed more heartily than we did last evening, at the farce of « Ilis First Peccadillo,” produced at this house in most capital style. Chapman, as the would-be committer of a pec- cadilio for the first time, led on by Sadboy. (Pardey.) and finally caught in his own trap, was most comical ; and the audience was kept in the most amused condi- tion during the whole of the farce. Mrs. Isherwood, Tilton, Herbert (as the waiter of slippery memory), and Mrs, Chapman, all played very funnily. Tho‘ En- chanter” continues its triumphant career, and the pa- trons of the house arc as much delighted with it as ever. It is the most splendid piece of stage display ever seen at the National, and we trust all will go and view it. Tho National theatre has a just reputation for always getting up successful picces, and this one is no excep- tion to the rule, We perceive a new drama, called the “Queen of the Abruzzi.” is in preparation. I will be got out with many novel effects; among them. that of & troop of female brigands. To-night, the “ Enchan- ter and “ Slasher and Crasher.” Bunrox’s Tueatnr.—A very fashionable audience pertook of a rich and varied treat at this theatre last evening. The entertainments commenced with the play entitled “ The Toodles,” in which Mr. Burton sustained the part of Timothy Toodle, and the oddities of the character are exactly of the kind suited to his peculiar style of acting. Messrs. Lynne, Jordan, Ha- milton,and Mesdames Vernon and Knight appeared also with their usual smartness and spirit. ‘he burletta of “The Wager,’ which came after, was also repre- rented with great entrain by the able actors of the com- pany but the most humorous among them was un- doubtedly the manager himself, who, in his rdle of Frank Webber, is really capital. The way in which he wears the garments of a female, “that aunt Judy,” is unsurpassable, and draws forth bursts of laughter. We think “The Wager” will have alongrun. The evening's entertainments concluded with the attempt at a burlenque, called “ Her Nanny,” which does not feem to improve, after several performances. We think it will soon be withdrawn. Tur Moxrtaisin Banust Comraxy.—We understand that these talented artists, who won such an unpre- cvdented fame throughout the United States, have just made an engagement with Mr. Marshall, and will appear on Monday week next, at the Broadway theatre. ‘The ballet which Will be produced on that occasion, is entitled “La Clochette,” (the small bell,) and is said to contain one of the most gorgeous spectacles ever performed in this country, The sceneries, the cos- tumes, and dances, everything, will be new and fresh, and, no doubt, this ballet will have a ran as lon; that of “Kemeralda,” which was so much admired when the Monplaisirs were last engaged at the Broad- way theatre, Cunisty’s Minstres.—These fine warm evenings there is no pleasanter way of passing a couple of hours or so, than by visiting the concerts of these geniuses, There is one excellent feature in their entertainments, that is the celerity with which they go on; no long te- dious pauses between the parts—everything goos off quick and 1 ly, They will give a fn nd programme to-night, the “ Voyage Musicale” and all. Taneuxactr—Demrsten’s Coxcent.—This evening, the above distinguished ballad singer will give another of his amusing entertainments at the Tabernacle. The programme contains some of his most popular songa, and his cantata, “The May Queer,” a song in three parts, We observe two new compositions, namely, “Tho Imprisoned,” aud “The Rainy Day; also the beautiful and thrilling ballads “John Anderson, my Jo,” and “A Man’s a Man for a’ That."” New Ox.raxs Senexavens.—These famous voralists and exquisite musicians give their last concert in Brooklyn, this evening. They perform at Newark to- morrow evening. Siamese Twixs.—This human couplet receive visiters most politely in the parlors of the Apollo Saloon, during the day, afternoon andevening. They are very affable d chatty, and answer all the questions visiters indict on them (and they are not few.) in the most courteous manner, Such a treak of nature, and such an example of accommodating oneself to circumstances, has never been seen before, Canrneii’s Mixsvarts are doinga grand business at the Apollo Saloon. Every evening they have large au- ences, and their congs, dances, &c., are much applau- ded. ‘Their last tour has been a profitable one for them in various ways, as they have got up a variety of new songs, dances, &c,, which are received with much de- light. ‘They will sing every evening this week. THRATRICALS ABROAD. A new vocalist, {a Madile, Parodi, recently made her debut in London, and hi nm quite triumphant. She her Majesty's Theatre. A paper contains the following remarks eonecrn- r:-Madlle, Parodi repeated on Saturday night her character of Norma, renewing and incréasing the fuccess that attended her debut. ‘The grandeur of her general style, and the passionate energy of sqme of the more dramatic scenes, told on the audience triumph- antly. Some blemishes in her performance on Tuvs- day, which might then fuirly be attributed to the ex- citement of 4 first appearance, were now less observa- Dic, Among these were a tendency towards redundancy in action, and anoccasional defective intonation. ‘The former, even on a second performance, had become toned down; and the Jatter had disappeared, except once or twice in moments of great excitement, when the vocalist had become merged in the tragedian. Itis one of the proofs, as it is one of the privileges, of genius, ever to progress, always to apply the refining, maturing, shaping faculty to its creations, Mediverity alone a early achieves its utmost, and rests the t long after a work to the general eye hag exhibited beauty and symmetry, tothe mental eye and true taste of the real artist it centinues imperfect. Frequent repeti- tion gives to the dramatic artists opportunities denied to others; and of these Parodi will avail herself; that is i able from the order of her mind. On Saturday ht this instinct of xelf-mission was already apparent inits effect. With quite as much to astonish and ad- mire, there was—not merely in the acting, but also in the vocal portions—more to satisfy that exacting severity oftaste which is the characteristic ofan Eng- lish musical audience. Throughout, Parodi’s singi was character: artistic feeling and finishe ecution. The “Casta Diva’ was masterly; and the sustained note, in which Grisi produces so great an effect, was reized and held by Parodi with unflinching courage and power. Mile, Parodi is an adepted daughter of Madam Pasta, who, when she heard of the success of her child, wrote to her the following letter:—‘ My dear child,—I am transported with pleasure by the description given me of your most fortunate debut.

Tn relation to the operations in this market during the past two weeks, Thomas J. Stewart's Circular, of this date, says:— “ My last report of this market was prepared for the Europa on Ist inst. At that date prices were softer here, owing to the doubts felt in regard to the correct- ness of the rep esentations of injury to the crop re- cently planted—the Southern markets not having re- sponded to our excitement, the advance there being nearly equalized by the rise in exchange and a de- cline in freights. The two following days there was a better feeling, and prices again stiffened up, but after the receipt of the America’s advices, more disposition to sell being evineed, the turn of prices again rather favored the buyer,—and but for the receipt at this date of more full’account of injury by the frost of 15th ultimo, a decided decline would have been sub- mitted to, Ourmoncy market, which had been very strin- ent, also became quite easy, and as Exchange was in etter request, the desire fo buy was increased, the week closing on Monday evening, 7th inst., with sales of 5,000 bules. Tuesday being packet day for the Cam- bria, and withal very stormy, it was not expected that there weuld be much business done, and holders brought out but a small supply; the sales which were effect ed, however, which amounted to 1,000 bales, showed a y firm market, and the grades above middling fair being chiefly inquired for, an advance was paid on them, which tended to make a stronger market the fol- lowing day, on which 1,800 bales were sold, and which has contiriued since, cach succeeding day prices closing slightly better. The sales of Thurs- day were 1,000 bales, and on Friday the same.— ‘The telegraphic advices of the Liverpool market to 28th ultimo, per Hibernia, were published about three o’clock, which, being mainly anticipated, pro- duced no effect. On Saturday the market was very quict, &nd the indications were not favorable for the maintenance of prices, a more full consideration of the unsettled state of the Continent of Europe, creating a wish to pause for the receipt of the letters which were hot at band until 6 P.M ; the sales, nevertheless, amounted to 2.00 bales, the great bulk of which was taken for Havre by one operator, which tended again to strengthen the market. The sales yesterday were 1,600, bales, exhibiting a very irregular market; the lower styles were quite freely offered, while the better descriptions were held stiffer, to which my quotations conform. We have continued to hear steadily of the breadth of the injury by the frost, before notiecd, on such cotton as was up, which Ja not believed to, exooed thirty per cont of the amount planted, since which favorable rains have cecurred with a very beneficial effect, and has consequently rendered a general replanting unneces- sary; the chief cause for alarm now, is, the continued low temperature, which‘has prevailed so long that the plant is nearly a month behind its usual position, and will render its appearance, from time to time, up to the usual date of flowering. an object of much interest?” The closing quotations in this market, were as an- nexed:— Liverroor Ciassirication.
