A most destructive fire occurred in this city about two -o’clock this morning, entailing a loss of considerably ‘over one million of dollars. It originated in the stables attached to the New England Hotel, destroying the hote! -and the entire square on the hill where it stood. The following arc among the losses:—A. & C. Loeb, clothing deulers, stock lost; Cook & Althen, clothing dealers; Wendell, draggist; Treat & Edwards, a heavy stock of groceries and liquors; Bishop Remington & Co., liquor dealers; Melihinch & Stillman, commission agents; George Sprague, groceries and liquors, a heavy stock. Most of the above lost all their books and papers. ‘The fire crossed James street, consuming the St. “Charles Hotel, and the entire row of buildings from the canal to Superior street, occupied as follows:—Chamber- Jain & Crawford, forwarders, books saved ; the Cleve- land Custom House, books and papers in vault, but sup- posed to be destroyed; A. N. Gray, iron dealer; the ‘Board of Trade rooms; Wilbert & McDowell, a large stock of groceries; W. Bingham & Co., iron dealers, a heavy loas; together with several clothing stores.

DARING AT‘EMPT TO SLOW Ue A HOTEL—EXPLO- ION OF 4 KEG OF POWDER IN EABLE'S, PARK ROW. An awful explosion occurred yesterday afternoon, in the office of Earie’s Hotel, in Park Row. Without a mo- ment’s warning, the house was shaken to its%very roof, and all its inmates thrown into a state of confusion and alarm. In the office below stairs, among the baggage, an explosion of gunpowder had taken place, but how, the cause, or why, no one was able to explain. Fortunately at the time of the explosion thore were but few persons in the office. These were stunned and thrown upon the floor, but none of them dangerously hurt. One man was taken to the City Hospital, but it is not considered that his injuries will prove fatal. By the force of the explosion the upper ceiling was shatter- ed to pieces and scattered over the floor as if mason had been to work in the room. The panes of glass in the front doors were shattered to pieces, and one or two of the doors taken off their hinges. But for the fact that the front of the office was glass, giving a vent to the powder, the whole house must have fallen from the roof and all its inmates been buried beneath its ruins, whieh was doubtless the intention of the heartless flend who was the author of the act. The Chief of Police with a foree was immodiately on the premises, and an investigation of the affair entered into. The facts of the matter are simply as follows : Ina small leather travelling valise had been placed a small keg of powder, holding twelve pounds. In one end of the keg was inserted the muzzle of a small double barrelled pistol, and against the triggers of the pistol ‘was placed an iron spring,made to strike the triggers and create an explosion at a certain time regulated by the running down of weights attached to this trigger spring. ‘The valise was one of an ordinary appearance, and could be placed, as it was, in the office, among the baggage, without exciting any suspicion, and at the hour fixed upon the machinery would so revolve within the valise a§ to perform the fatal work intended. The police collected among the the fragments the ro- mains of the valise, the staves and hoops of the small keg of powder, the double barrelled pistol, and some of the machinery with which it was worked, and have then all at present at the Chief’s office. On the premises also were found some large shot, which had no doubt been placed in the keg to make the havoc more sure and deadly. The Chief and his aids are now industriously at work nyestigating this mysterious affair, and it is to be hoped | they will succeed in bringing the black-hearted fiend who could devise such a work to sure and speedy justice. ADDITIONAL. At the time of the explosion, fortunately, there were only three or four persons in the office. The infernal | machine was placed behind the counter of the office, and | the clerk being in the office at the time, was, singularly enough, lifted from his feet and thrown on the outside | of the counter without receiving any injury. One of the waiters of the hotel, named Peter Mourn, was badly burned about the face and hands, and taken to the City Hospital; where he now lays in much pain ; but itis thought his life is not in@anger. His clothes imme- diately took fire, and he ran into the streets covered with flame. In an instant his clothes were torn from his body, and but for this speedy relief of might have been burned to death. One of the guests of the hotel, Mr. R. Dowd, was also | badly burned about the face, but not dangerously. The excitemont at the hotel immodiatety after the ex- plosion and during the remainder of the day, was very great. The report of another infernal rapidly circulated through the city, and Hundfeds betook them: selves to Farle’s Hotel to learn the extent of the disas- ter. The wash room of the hotel was the worst injured, and it is remarkable that this room should reeeive the great damage of the shock, situated several feet from the machine, and protected by an entry way and one or two doors. One side of the plastering of the washroom was entirely loosened, and hung only by the Iath work. This is certainly a diabolical attempt to destroy an entire building, and sacrifice the lives of a hundred or more, to gratify some private spite or to be revenged upon some particular party Extensive Fire—Destruction of the Harlem Railroad Car House—Loss Nearly $30,000. | Between nine and ten o’clock last night, a fire was dis- covered in the paint shop of the extensive car house be- longing to the New York and Harlem Railroad Company, situated at the corner of Forty-third street and Fourth avenue. The fire first showed itself on the second story of the northeast corner, and soon spread with great fury throughout the building. The Eastern wall fell to- wards the avenue, crushing several freight cats. It was | not until this wall foll that any water was thrown onthe fire, consequent upon the searcity of hydrants in that vicinity, and the extreme danger of the wall. The fire- men were prohibited from going near it. The building was a lofty two story brick one, with base- ment, extending from Forty-second to Forty-third street. There were several new cars just finished, and others in process of making. The foggy atmosphere and the in- flammable material, caused a tremendous light in the sky, which {llaminated for near a mile surrounding the fire, and thousands of spectators had congregated to witness the burning. In less than an hour the roof fell and a portion of the walls, and by half past 11 o'clock the whole edifice was ig ruins. The loss, we understand, will amount to upwards of $30,000, which is covered by insurance.

Supposed Murder of a Seaman ON BOARD THE SHIP EXCELSIOR, LYING OFF THB BATTERY— ARREST OB ONE OF THE ALLEGED PEB- PETRATORS. About the 29th of July last a seaman named Swee- | Mey was murdered on board the ship Excelsior, while | lying im the stream-off the Battery, previous to her leav- ing for Liverpool, by three of hia messmates, who beat | him to death in the forecastle, and then, it is supposed, threw his body overboard, as no trace of his where- abouts has ever been ascertained. The ship” sailing on the morning on which the occurrence took placé, nothing was known of the murder until the vessel was | many miles out to sea, On her arrival at Liverpool, | the matter was laid before the American Consul | who ordered the arrest of one of the sailors, nai John Burke, on suspicion of being one of the perpe- trators of ‘this horrid deed, and accordingly "ie was sent back, and arrived ‘here a few days ago, | to answer the charge imputed to him by some ‘ot the | ¢rew. Since that time the matter has been undergoing an investigation before Justice Os! who has already taken several affidavits from the sailors of the ship on | that occasion, in rel@tion to the matter, The following evidence will be found highly interesting:— | | Police Court, Halls of Justice, City and Gounty of New | York, s—Johin Norman, of No, 486 Houston street, | Leing duly sworn, deposes and says, thay he was seaman en beard the packet ship Excelsior on Aer late voyage | Liverpool, having sailed from this port om or about the 20th of July Inst, and arrived back again to this port on the 2:d of Oetober, Deponent further says that ono alwut the 28th day of July last, about eight and a hal e'clhek in the evening, while ‘said ship-was lying a | anchor «ff the Battery, there was a disturbance and | fi lting in the starboard forecastle between John Wil Nan, Jom Burke, and John Burns, and afte had been restored between the said par- they all three went upon deck, bu in « few minutes returned again to the said starboar forecastle, bringing with them one of the crew named —— Sweeney. As soon as Sweeney cante down, a3 stated the said Williams ordered him to go into the larboard fereeastle and bring him a needle or something of the kind, which Sweeney refused to do, whereupon Williams | struck him in the face with his ‘fist, and then seized a | stone bottle froma bunk and struck Sweency a violent blow on the head. The aforesaid John Burke then seized Sweency by the throat and struck him twice om the head with a black yee bottle, which knocked . down on the od Jumped upon Sween body and kicked him a umber of times; and sald Burns also attempted to strike Swee- ney with'a bottle, but was prevented by the others. "De: | ponent becoming frightened, left the foreeastje and wert on deck, leaving aller most of said persons in said for. castle, and deponent has nover scen said Sweeney since | said time; but the last time he saw him as af said Sweeney was so beaten that he. was not abie to stir, JOHN NORMAN. Swom to before me, Oct. 21, 1854, 'B. Oman Police justice. John Boyd, of Astoria, Queens Co., N. ¥., being duly r sworn, deposed and said, that he was one of the hagds on board the packet ship Excelsior on her late voyage to Liverpool; deponent further said that at or about 73< | o’elock on the evening of the 28th of July last, the day | before said vessel suiled, and while she lay at anchor in | the stream off the Battery, he saw a disturbance on the starboard forecastle between John Burke, John Williams and —— Sweeney, and while said Sweeney was lying on the floor of the Torecastle, deponent saw said Barke strike said Exeaney twice on the head with a black glass bottle, the second blow breaking’ the bottle in pieoes; and deponent also saw said Williains- kick Sweeney about a dozen times while he was down, and also strike him fin the back with a marlin spike; deponent then left the forecastle and went on dec eaving ail said persons on the forecastle, and deponent never saw the said Sweene: again, and he was missing on board du: he whole voyage. ‘ JOHN pore: mark. John Clark, carpenter of the ship Bxcelsior, Iying at the foot of Dover street, being sworn, deposes and says, that he was on board said vessel om her last voynge to Liverpool, having. sailed from this port ont ot about the 26th of July last. Deponent further sa3s; that about one o’clock on the morning of the day on which the yes- sel sailed, he saw John Wil near the forecastle companion-way, and whilé they wore there he saw Williams strike Sweeney across the loins or rmall of the back with aeapstan-bar, and was about to | repeat the blow, when deponent prevented him and dtove him around to the other side of the vessel. Deponent further says, that this was the last time he ever saw ala Sweeney, depenent having only remained on deck about half an hour afterwards; ad on the same morning. about eight o'clock, when all hands were mustered, and thete names called, ‘he said Bwomaey was found to be ntissixtg, and was missing during the gemain the - JOHN CLARK. Here the matter rests for the present, until thete- maining parties whg are implicated in the tragsaction are arrested, and until other’ witnesses can be obtained, to throw some more ligheupo this most foul and diabe- lical murder. We hope the matter will be carefally in: vestigated, and the guilty parties brought to justice for the iniquitous deed thus perpetsated.

DRAKE. City and County of New York, #.—Thomas Smith, of said city, being sworn, says that on Wednesday, Oct. 25, 1854, he 'was in Clinton Market. Officer Hannifen, of the Ninth Ward Police, came up and seized hold of him, and ordered him to come with him. He refused to inform deponent why he arrested him. After getting from the market he told deponent he arrested him for highway robbery, committed by deponent and others whom he named." Deponent informed him he did not go with, or keep company with the’ persons he mamed. He then said he had got the wrong man—that he was sorry, but as he had arrested him, he would have to take him in. Deponent further says he was brought to the Police Court, Second district, before Wiliam B. Drake, Esq., Alderman of the Twenty-second ward of said city, and there being no complainant pre- sent, the Alderman who was holding said Court being no other magistrate present, and the arrest of de- ponent having been made upon vague suspicion—Mr. niet Williams, deponent’s employer, and Mr. Solomon Hawes, became responsible for deponent’s appearance to answer any complaint, if one should be preferred against him. Spon ‘this Alderman Drake permitted de. ponent to go until notified that he was wanted. De- ponent farther says that he was notified this day, Oc! 27, to attend the said Police Court, at 9 o’cloek A. M., by Alderman Drake—that he attended st the time named. The examination did not then take place, but was postponed until 3 o'clock P.

I came from | Cincinnati to New York, about a month. since, as agent | with full power. to act for the Cincinnati and Little Rock Slate Company, which is acorporate body with nine di- rectors, mostly residents of Cincinnati, and composed of gentlemen of the first respectability there. Their object in sending mo to New York was to negotiate the sale of the balance of: the company’s stock, amounting to $88,000, for, cash, to continue the business of workin; their slate quarry im Arkansas. On wy arpival I advertized in the Hinatp, stating my wants, and was the same day applied to by J. R. Sprague, | 119 Nasequ street, attommey and broker, who introduced to ma the parties who he said could furnish us the money wanted, and whom he said were all right. I was intro duced to H. Deveey, Baq.. w:tho president and proprieto: of the Merchanis’ Exchange Bank, Anacosta, D. C., who propored to buy our stock at par, and pay me in bills of the said bank. He gave sae satisfaatory reference as to his character for intogrity, Horace, Greely, Eaq., being | the principal reierence, v hina received assurance that Mr. Dewey was a truthful ang honest man, and that he always zelicd upon his word. Being thus satiafiod that Mr. Newey’s statements ceuld be paeey relied upon, Togened negotsations with him, and sold him by contract the stock 6f the company. to the above amount, he agreeing to redewm all the money of the snid bank so | id me for circu! in Arkansas.

This was finally pereed upon, and a morgage given upon roal estate which was considered ample security for oar company. The business was deing closed upon this basis, and about $30,000 of the money delivered for circulation in Arkansas, and de ted in the safe of the bank agency, which ia now with its contents in the hands of the mayor.
