Shortly before one o'clock this morning a fire broke out in the frame tenement house No, 206 Riv- ington street, and in a few minutes extended to the adjoining buildings, which were all constructed of wood, and into which a number of poor families were literally packed, The fire broke out when almost all were abed, but it was not long before the alarm had reached them all, and the knowledge of their immi- nent danger and the combustible material of the houses rendered many of the occupants wild with alarm, 60 much. so that it was almost impossible to discover how the fire originated or was discovered. ‘The straightest story was given by Mr. Silver, who resided on the third floor of No. 206, He had been at home about an hour, and was about to retire when he heard glass cracking and smelied smoke very strongly. He immediately left his room, and then discovered that the etairs were on fire and the hallways filled with emoke, thus Ma | off all egress. He aroused his wife and child, and opening the front window, gave the uarm. The fire had meantime been disvovered from the street, and Mr, Silver, with commendable cooines dropped his baby out of the window into the arms o! some person who was ready to receive it. He then dropped his wife out of the window, but she fell on the walk and was badly hurt about the head and up- per part of the body. He then Jumped out himself and escaped uninjured.

Efforts of Revenue Officers to Seize IMlicit Stills—A Force of Marines Called Out to Pro~ tect Them—The Police Also on Hand—Attack Upon and Injuring of Officers and Men. + ‘The illictt distiation of whiskey since the inception of the imposed tax upon this popular beverage by the Internal Revenue law has to a considerable, yet unknown extent been in vogue in a portion of the Fifth ward of Brooktyn, called “Irishtown.'? In extent it is rather a large territory, and densely populated by the rougher class of, citizens, chiefly of one extraction, who have many times demonstrated that they cared but little for local or governmental laws, particu- larly those appertaining to the payment of such taxes as are satisfactory to the enterprising officers of the Internal Revenue Department of the Third dis- trict. With @ keen eye to the main chance and perhaps impelied by the, same tngentive that has marked more prominent operators of like character, they conceived the tdea of manufacturing whiskey an tpmeniniely carried it into execution The majority of thesé inhabitants produced the article in ignaetine although each in a limited quantity, thereby adding very materially to their respective incomes. THEIR MODE OF DISTILLATION. This is quite original and complimentary to their inventive geulus. Kach family possessed iron pots and stoves, and with but little addition thereto they were converted into stills that served the purpose tn- tended. In the innermost rooms of their houses and occasionaily in some back dwelling these were put in operation, and night and day the Mlegitimate production of whiskey was carried on. Gallons upon gallons have, consequently, been removed, the Revenue Department being defrauded thereby many thousands of dollars, and liquor deal- ers in certain sections of the ward deriving the benefit therefrom, THE OFFICERS OF THR REVENUE. Collector Wood, in charge of this district, known as the Third, long advised of these operations, has more than once despatched his officers to eifect the seizure of illicit stills there aud the arrest of the parties owning and running them, but their mis- sions have almost uniformly been unsuccess- ful, principally because of the lawless nature of the men and their sympathizers, Whose names are legion, The last attempt made was productive of a murderous attack upon a deputy sheril, who, beset by scores armed with missiles, left him fearfully mangied on the street, his life being de- spaired of. Becoming convinced that stern measures must be adopted to ensure the seizure of these innumerabie stills, Collector Wood commu- nicated with the constituted authorities at Washing- ton, and yesterday morning received orders loug expected, giving him the requiste power to proceed ‘to the territory in question, using force to effect his purpose if necessary. The MEASURES ADOPTED she enlisting of a portion of the marine guard ed at the Navy Yard, not a long distance from joao es where the illicit disiillations have been carried on. Acting in concert with the Collector, United States Marshal acl eaten morning is- sued an order to the commandant of the Navy Yard directing that a force of fifty marines should im mediately be placed at the disposal of Collector Wood, Preparations for the proper manner to act under the circumstances having been decided upon, after mature deliberation Deputy Collector Egan at noon, with a body of men suflicient tg seize the stills found to be unlawfully in operation, proceeded to the yes and delivered the order to Rear Admiral Bell in person. He, promptly co- operating, at once issued the necessary instructions to Brevet Lieutenant Colonel John L. Broome, in command of the Marine barracks, who in ten min- utes, demonstrating efficiency in alertness of action, had the men tn ranks and ready for service. ‘The marines were divided into two sections before leaving the barracks, the first being placed under command of Captain Wallace, the second in charge of Captain Squires. Each man was furnished with twenty rounds of ball cart- ridge, and loading thelr muskets they de- parted, obeying the commands given them; but unadvised of the extraordinary movement or the character of the aid required of them. Marching through a gate seldom used and opeuing on Littie street—a thoroughfare but a block in lengta, yet long in comparatively undisputed possession of the tlicit distillers—escorting Mr. Egan wnd his assisiants, they were in a few moments at the point, where in asihort time there was a scene of indescribable coufusion and lawlessness. THE CROWD—THEIR ATTACK—THOSE INJURED—TAR POLICE. ‘The appearance of the marines with loaded mus- kets marching up the street spread dismay, which was speedily substituted by feelings of defiance, ‘The intelligence of *their arrival had spread like wildfire, Men ran lither and thither; groups stood at corners engaged in hurried conversations and then qnickly dispersed in different directions, Soon the streets were crowded with women and chil- dren, who were not silent or guarded in the expres- sion of their sentiments, Which eventually culminated ina vioient assauit upon the marines and revenue officers. Up to the present the marines had exhibi- ted no syluptoms of hostility, but the threatening attitude of the rapidly increasing mob cailed forth some action and they were quickly drawn up in ue near John street. Scarcely had they taken up this position .when a volley stones was meretiessiy showered at the men. The greatest excitement prevatie which was even heightened by the shouts and yells of scores of little fellows who heralded their ip- proach, Almost every window in the locality dis- played numbers of its earnest and inquisitive faces, and the more courageous of tle feminine community ascended the housetops, where, having collected a heap of missiles, they commenced a vigorous attack ‘on those below. ‘One of the bricks thrown struck Deputy Collector Eegan upon the head, knocking him down, Near the corner of Lite and Water streets Captain Squiers, of the marines, was also struck on the lead with a large stone by & young man, Who subsequently gave lis name es George Golding. This belligerent indi- vidual was immediately arrested by the police under command of Sergeant Drake, who meanwhile had been sent for, as Colonel Browne did not desire to resort to the use of arms, and sent to the Forty-second police precinct station, Before the arrival of the police, however, one of the marines was struck upon the head with a brick and severely injured, THE SFARCH FOR THF STILLS.

During the confusion one of the marines had managed to obtain liquor, and as the body were passing through Hudson avenue he broke from the ranks and occasioned considerable excitement.

Frencu THRATRE.—This brilliant little est#blish- ment was again crowded last night by a delighted audience, La Belle H¢Iéne loses none of her power to charm as she becomes better known with the public, Already the quaint and dainty scraps of melody that are scattered so lavishly through this little opera are catching the general ear as aptly as did those in the “ Duchess,” and the “ Romance of Mount Ida,’’ that set old Calchas in ecstacies, is equally effective on many less demonstrative auditors. “Un Mart Sage,” iven with such exquisite gusto and abandon, and hat has been encored every night since the play has been on, is @ greater favorite than any single piece given hitherto, while some of the concerted pieces are as effective as it is possible to conceive, Alto- ether, by the “bucheas’’ and this opera Offenbach has become fairly instailed as the musical lion of the season tn this city, and 1s likely to command the presence of the people as long as the theatre may re- main open. He has the ba here of being rendered in a style not only unexceptionable, but that furthers and intensifies the peculiar sentiment and humor of the plece with exquisite success. ‘i Mus. Frances A. KEMBLE IN BROOKLYN.—Mrs, Kemble commenced her first week's reading in Brooklyn last night at the Institute in Washington street. The selection was “Cymbeline,” which Mrs, Kemble read with all her fine dramatic power. The admirable modulations of voice, the distinct inton tions, which characterize her method as a readet were displayed to great advantage, and were e hanced, perhaps, by the good acoustic properties of the hall. The audience was composed of tie’ intelil- gent and literary elements of Brooklyn society, who thoroughly appreciated Mrs. Kemble’s efforts. There wiil be three more readings in Brooklyn this week— a morning sae on Wedneaday and Saturday and an evening redding on Friday, Next week Mrs. Kemble retarny to Steinway Hall to renew yer suc- cesses before the New York public, Mr. DICKENS’ READINGS.—The reappearance of Mr. Charles Dickens at Steinway Hall last evening was not marked by the same curiosity which character- ized his previous visit. There was, however, a large attendance, though the hall was not by any means uncomfortably crowded. Shortly after eight o'clock Mr. Dickens re, briskly forward, and without any ceremony other than his usual knowing smile and the announcement of the piece, commenced his reading of “Dr. Marigold.’’ he long story of the tender hearted pedier or “cheap Jaek,’ his shrewd- ness, humor, sufferings and self-sacrifice, were well portrayed and elicited at intervals some tokens of approbation. The reader’s acting was much better than his delivery, the latter in many instances being juite too hurried to create an impression. ‘Mrs. amp’? was read for the first time, and diffused a spirit of merriment among the audience, who cer- tainly required something to move them from the —— lack of interest which at times manifested If. De GaRMo’s HALL—Miss Lacoste’s Recitars.— Miss Lacoste’s third recital of “Julius Cwsar” attracted last evening a large and appreciative audience. The dificult tour de force of representing this entire play of Shakspeare, with tts thirty-two characters, by a single voice was accomplished with more self-contl- dence and with more power than even on the two revious occasions. The quarrel scene between rutus and Cassins, and the oration of Mark Antony were rendered with a spirit wiuch elicited hearty applause, The characters of Brutus, Mark Antony, Cwsar, Calpiurnia and Portia were particalarly well sustained. Even the most audacious “new read- ings” on which Miss Lacoste ventured were entitled to serious consideration, if not always to unqualified approbation, on the part of fastidious “Shakspeare scholars.” We do not hesitate to say that tle re- citals of Miss Lacoste must be numbered among the most intellectual entertainments of the present sea- son.
