Prison whiskey 2230: Brooklyn City Intelligence. EXTENSIVE CONFLAGRATION—NEARLY AN ENTIRE BLOCK DESTROYED—THIRTY-ONE HOUSES BURNED DOWN, AND SEVERAL DAMAGED. A most disastrous conflagration occurred in Brooklyn yesterday morning, involving the destruction of thirty one buildings and an aggregate loss of over $50,000. About two o'clock, A.M., a fire was discovered breaking out of a small frame building, No. 359 Fulton street, occupied by Rosendorf & Frank, as a clock store, within the trian- gular block bounded by Fulton and Adams streets and Myrtle avenue. ‘The contiguous buildings being all frame, the flames, aided by a brisk wind, spread very ra- pidly, and the whole block was speedily enveloped, not- withstanding the most strenuous exertions of the fremen to stay its progress, There beings great scarcity of wate? in the neighborhood, they were retarded from working with that eficiency which, under other circumstances they would have been enabled to. The occupants saved comparatively but a small portion of their goods, having in several instances as much as they could tend to, to sav themselves and families from destruction. As far as as- eertained, however, no one was seriously injured. The houses opposite the junction of Fulton and Adams streets, and those on the right side of Adams, caught several times, but by the exertions of the occupants themselves, with the firemen, they escaped with but ht damage. ‘The City Hall, immediately opposite the seene of destruc: tion, was made use of as a place of deposit for the furni- ture of the sufferers, which was mainly saved by the police and firemen, who labored unceasingly till about seven A. M, The buildings destroyed being all of wood, mostly one and two stories in height, old and ricketty, the damage is not as great as might be supposed from the number burned down, The area burned over can hardly be less than two or three acres, apon which, excepting the Free- man building, and those houses fronting on Myrtle avenue, nothing is now to be seen but smouldering ruins. ‘The buildings destroyed, the names of the occupants, and probable losses, are as follows, as near as can be ascer- tained -— ON FULTON STREET.

Wottom, arrived at this port at seven o'clock yesterday morning, bringing the usual British and French mails. She left Havre and Cowes roads at midnight on the llth inst., and brings files of London and Paris papers, te gether with our private correspondence, to thet date. She arrived off Sandy Hook at 8 P. M. on the 23d, and re- mained until 4:30 yesterday morning, waiting for a pilot. She parsed, May 20, at 5:05 A. M., lat. 43 22, lon, 48 39; & Cunard steamer bound east. ‘The Franklin brings 800 tons French goods, among which are sixteen cases for the New York Exhibition; she also brings 90 passengers. We are indebted to Mr. J.C. Kane, the purser, for late papers. The British and North American mail steamship America, from Boston and Halifax, reached the Mersey on the morning of the 9th inst. The U.S, mail steamship Washington, after » passage of thirteen days and seven hours, touched off Cowes, Isle of Wight, on the 7th,on her way to Bremen; al well. The Aretic arrived in the Mersey at midnight of the 10th inst,, after a rapid passage from this port. The authoress of Uncle Tom’s Cabin was, on the Tie inst., welcomed to Stafford House by the Duchess of Sutherland. where, in the midst of an assemblage of the rank and aristocracy, and s considerable muster of pub- lic men, she was presented with the long talked of ad- dress of the women of England. Mrs. Stowe was on this oceasion petted and lionised by a whole bevy of duchesses and countesses. It was reported in London that letters had been re- ceived from Shanghae to the 3d March, of five days’ later date than received by the overland mail, containing anannouncement that the British residents had pro- visioned their ships, and were prepared to embark im case of emergency; that the Chinese authorities had ap- plied to the British Consul for aid to enable them to pro- tect Nankin and to quell the rebellion, and that the Con- sul had referred the matter to the Colonial government. The debates in the British Parliament are of no parti- cular interest on this side. The House of Commons had been occupied with the budget of the Chancellor of Ex- chequer, which was gradually passing through a com- mittee of the whole house, the mizisterialists still re- taining the large majority which supported them in the former trial of strength on the subject of the income tax. The bill for the conversion of the English three per cent stocks, having received the’Royalassent, books were opened at the Bank of England on the 10th inst., for the applications of those proprietors desirous of converting their stock into any of the three descriptions of new securities offered by the government. The Times states that thus far the principal applications had been for the new 2% per cent stock. A death blow appears to have been struck at the im- fluence of the conservative party in England, by the dis- closures made before the Committee on Dock Yard Ap- pointments, in reference to the acts of the late adminia- tration during the period Lord Derby and Mr. Disraeli held the reins of power. The evidence adduced before this inquiry, shows the frightful state of immorality and corruption which prevailed, and the enormous length to which government influence was brought to bear for election purpores, more particularly with the great naval stations of the kingdom. The last accounts state that the Duke of Northumberland, the late First Lord of the Admiralty, had been examined by the committee, and bis testimony fully corroborated the facts of the corruption practised. Further particulars had‘also been brought to light, by the commengement of an inquiry into the circumstances of the Plymouth election, and such was the character of the facts brought to light the first day of the inquiry, that Mr. Mare, the tory member, resigned, being unable to face the odium and exposure of his corrupt practices, carried out under direct government patronage. The London Times of the 9th inst. contains the account of an official trial, at the royal arsenal at Woolwich, of « new description of rifle, invented by Mr. Boulton, am American gentleman. The British Postmaster General, it is announced, is tak- ing measures for establishing a money order system, for the receipt, payment, and transmission, of moneys be- tween Great Britain and its colonial dependencios. This project will be of great advantage to the poorer classes of emigrants and settlers, who will thus, by a cheap and in- expensive method, be enabled to remit small sums of money to their relatives and friends in the mother coum- try. From Paris, it is stated, that the Duke de Nemours was about to pay a visit to the Count de Chambord, whem the “fusion” would be arranged. Some of the ardent legitimists seem to fancy a restoration was mot far dis- tant. A letter from St. Petersburg, of April 25th, says:— ‘There is much talk in the best informed cireles of a se- cret mission of a Russian envoy sent to China overland, and who it is said had already arrived at Kiatha. It was confidently reported that the object of his mission waa to offer to the sovereign of the Celestial Empire the ald of Russia in quelling the insurrection in his dominions, ‘The weather in England, for several days prior te the departure of the Franklin, had been very wet and unsea- sonable. Snow had fallen in many places. The money market presented no change. Discounts were tight at three per cent. The bullion in the Bank of England had fallen to a lower point thun for some months, Stocks, shares, bonds and mines dull. Liverpool cotton market very firm. Sales on the 9th, 7,000 bales; sales on the 10th, 5,000 bales.

Proselytizing on Board of an Amg rican War Steamer. An Italian paper, the Cetfolico, of Marjiglia—a port of Tuseary—has the following in relation to the conversion: of officers on board the United Ste’.es steamer Sen Ja~ cinto :— “Some missionaries have visi’.ed the American steame frigate San Jacinto, which bey, entered this port for re-
