A fire broke out at noon on the 13th inst. in Barnum's Museum, extending rapidly to the adja cent buildings on Broadway and Fulton -streets. The museum was totally destroyed. Nos, 12, 14, 16, and 18, Ann-street, occupied by various parties, including Jones's shoe store, Groats's restaurant, French, Wheatdick, and Fitzgerald, printers, and others, were burnt. The firemen were in force, and the flames were stayed. No one was injured. The loss is said to be a million, on which there is half a million insurance. The fire originated over the boiler in the museum. The flames were also stopped at Nos. 18, Ann-street, and 37, Fulton street. Six buildings were destroyed on Broadway, eight on Ann-street, and five on Fulton-street.

The objects of the company are to construct a rail- Marseilles nine miles in length, , from the "Gld Port" of to Podestat, to afford increased facilities for the commerce and manufactures of the town and port ; secondly, to acquire land on both sides of the line throughout its length for building and other purposes, to which great value will be given by the construction of the railway. The reputation of Marseilles as the first maritime city of Prance is well known, second only to Paris in population and wealth ; its position and capabilities give it the com mand of French commerce in the Mediterranean. Within the last ten years Marseilles has been placed in direct railway communication with Paris and all parts of France. Magnificent docks and warehouses have been con structed; but great and rapid as those new works have been they are still far behind the requirements of its ever-in creasing trade. The old quarters of the town are being demolished to make room for handsome streetsandp u blic buildings. The Population th us di sp l ace d are d r i ven to the suburbs, more especially towards the south, where the lands of the Com- Pany are situate, and where a fine valley stretches from the town to the Mediterranean, with a view of the sea, and Open to the refreshing breezes, which during the summer afford the only relief from the intense heat of the city. The enormous value of ground in the town may be esti- Mated by the fact that, for any extension, rocks 60 feet high have to bo cleared away to give sites for building; it will be readily understood that such a locality is no loner suited for the erection of ordinary dwellings, or factories g and che mical works, which latter, for sanitary reasons, will soon be driven from the city. The proposed railway, after leaving the port and town of 300,000 inhabitants, will pass through the southern 'suburb, which contains a population of 50,000, and follow the valley to the sea, at the "31adrague Montredon," from thence it will be continued for three miles along the coast to Podostat, affording sites for the erection of factories, With access to the sea, and direct railway communication with the form and port, and with the Paris, Lyons, and Mediterranean lines, by a junction with th e p ro p ose d n ew . branch o f th e l a tt er to the " Place Castellane." There are at the present time 460 factories in the town, employing nearly 10,000 workmen, and the number of `ketones would rapidly increase were it not for the h e avy thiwerel - to which they are subjected from the in creas i ng value of the ground occupied, and the want of direct rail way connexion with the port and with the. Paris, Lyons, Mediterranean lines. Tho proprietors of these estab lishments will gladly avail themselves of the opportunity o f disposing of their present sites to great advantage, and r emoving to a locality combining the facilities of sea and railway communication, with perfect freedom from a ll th e Vieulties of their present position, and where land can obtained from the Company at a tenth part of the price 11 °x' paid for building ground in the town. In order to form an opinion of the pecuniary results of t" , ,e prop ose d o p era tions of the Company, it w ill be desir able to c ons id er se p ara tely the income to be derived from re railway, and the profit to be realised by the sale of the land of the Company. First, with reference to the railway it must be observed, that the existing lines are connected with the new port Joliette" and the docks, but that the Old Port, which is 67 acres in extent, is entirely without railway communica "eon or d oc k s , no t w ith s t an di ng w hi c h th e o ffi c i a l s t a ti s ti cs of Government show, that during the last year for Icrt " Tulob. they are published, 1863, the returns for the " Old were as follows Vessels. Tons of Merchandise. 4,383 of various nations entered, carrying 950,180 4,303 „ left, „ 593,842 8,686 Total of vessels. 1,514,022 Tons. !luring the same period the returns f or th e new port ' Joliette" were : Vessels. . Tons of Merchandise. 2,609 of various nations entered, carrying 364,121 2,400 It II left, „ 330,876 ...., 5,009 Total of vessels. 694,997 Tons. •But in addition to this the new port "Joliette" received r and sent o ff 4159,024 tons of merchandise in 1863, by ') 37 3 steamers, on account of the facilities afforded by the railways and docks. It is evident from these returns that a railway to the Old Port must secure a very large amount of goods traffic, and from the population of the suburban district through 'which the lino will pass, and the number of factories, &c., alr eady established in that locality, it is calculated that the ?renue will produce an immediate profit revenue equal to io per cent, on the outlay, which income will be rapidly in creased by the erection of houses and facto r i es a l ong th e 114 e. There will be seven intermediate stations between Marseilles and Podestat, one of which will be for the "Race Course," and the "Public Gardens," and "Chateau torelly." Tho Company have contracted for the execution of the works of the railway from the " Place Castellano" to " Podestat," at the price of £185,000. Secondly, with reference to the profit to be realised by the s a l e of the land of the Company, it may be stated that all previous speculations in land at Marseilles have been successful. The Company have contracted for the purchase of about 1,200,000 square metres of land (about 300 English acres) situate on both sides of the proposed railway, between the town and the " Madrague do Montredon ;" 140,000 metres of which will be required for the construction of the line and stations, leaving 1,060,000 metres to be sold for the erection of first-class residences. It has been estimated by competent judges of the value of building sites in the neighbourhood of Marseilles, that on the completion of the railway the whole of this land will be readily sold at the price of at least 20 francs per metre, at which r a t e it w ill produce 21,200,000 francs, or £848,0001 The Company have also contracted for the purchase of a Very large tract of ound beyondMadrague de Mon tredon," through whichthe railway will pass to Podestat ; 1,500,000 metres (about 375 acres) of this land, adjoining both sea and railway, will be at once available as sites for factories and works of all kinds. Estimating the selling price of this land at 10f. per metre, a gum sufficiently low to induce the manufacturers to esta blish their works rapidly in the locality, it will produce a 811 111. of 1 5,000,000 f , or £600,000. The average cash cost to the Company of the land above referred to is only 54f. per metro, including the houses already built thereon, and including also upwards of L 10,000,000 metres of land (about 2,500 acres) on the coast ine for three miles beyond the! proposed terminus at fL °des t at, which will thus be acquired by the Company ife of cost, and which will be made available at some are time by an extension of the railway and the ft-a-ma tion of roads. An ample supply of water, which is indispensable at Mar seilles, both for houses and 'land, can be obtained from the thisting - works, which have cost the municipality more an 60,000,000 francs. 11 10 additional capital required for the payment of land v ill be raised in debentures to be repaid out of the produce of the land sales. ` Taus pra c ti ca l b ear i ng o f th e l and quest i on is as follows : i s suming the sale of the land at th e l ow p r i ces name d, h-Q -e profits arising therefrom will not only re p ay th e w h o l e 3 t of the ra il wa y, but in a dditi on there will remain a ‘ C I.

This Company has been formed to take over the busi ness of the Accidental Death Insurance Company—the existing constitution and capital of which are now found to be inconvenient and inadequate to its recently largely extended operations. That Coinpany (empowered by special Acts of Parlia ment, 15 Vic., c. 56, and 22 and 23 Vic., c. 22) was founded in 1849, with a nominal capital of £250,000, in 50,000 shares of X 5 each, of which 20,000 have been issued. The following statement, embracing the amount of Premiums since the commencement of the Company, shows the pro gressive and steadily increasing nature of its operations:— THE ACCIDENTAL BRANCH. 1850 1851 1852 1853 1854 1855 1856 The Income of this Branch for last year was £19,489 19s. 10d. The Claims in respect of the above Premiums have not exceeded 60 per cent. The business of the Company has been to provide any amount at death, from accidental causes, from £5O to £2OOO, or any amount of weekly provision during complete dis ablement, from 10s. to £2O per week, or to provide a sum at death and weekly compensation together, at arranged rates of premium. The advantages to the community of this system of insurance must be apparent, and the figures above manifest the manner in which they have been ap preciated by the. public. The capital of the Accidental Death Insurance Company has hitherto compelled the Di rectors to limit the sums insured, thus confining the ad vantages of insuring to a certain class. With the larger capital and influence of the proposed Corporation in surances may be granted to an extent which it is believed will attract large numbers of the higher and more wealthy classes. The Accidental Death Company commenced under writing in 1862, but the successful development of opera tions in Marine Insurance has been retarded by the inap propriateness of the name for a Marine Company. With, however, a change of title and constitution, and an ade quacy of capital, the Company will without doubt obtain that support to which it is fairly entitled. The accounts of the recently formed Marine Insurance Companies, which have exhibited good dividends and shown prospects of great value, leave no doubt on the minds of the Directors that at any rate equal success will attend the efforts of the Corporation in this direction. The services of a gentleman of experience have been secured as Underwriter. The extensive machinery of agents (of which there are between 4,000 and 5,000) is in full work, and is of great value—indeed, the directors confidently believe that all that is required to secure a rapid increase in the existing business is a proper adaptation of modern requirements as regards capital and position. A provisional agreement has been made with the Di rectors of the Accidental Death Insurance Company, whereby the business will be handed over to the Corpora tion as from the Ist July last, with the offices, staff, and agents. For every two shares of £5 with £1 paid, held by the Proprietors of the Accidental Death Insurance Com pany, there will be given a certificate of one share of the " Accidental and Marine Insurance Corporation(Limited)" with £5 paid. This will absorb 10,000 shares ; the re maining 30,000 are offered to the public. A copy of the Articles of Association may be seen at the Office, No. 7, Bank-buildings, and at the Offices of the So licitors and Brokers of the Company. Applications for Shares, accompanied by a remittance for the deposit, may be made to the Bankers, Brokers, and to the Secretary at the Chief Office, on the accompanying form.

This Company is formod for the purpose of purchasing, carrying on, and extending the business of Hodges's Dis tillery, and of appropriate operations which may be con nected therewith. Tho world-wide reputation of this establishment is well known and appreciated. The Distillery has been estab lished and prosperously worked since 1774, and many for tunes have been realised out of the business. This establishment, with all its current trade, will be handed over to this Company on the Ist of August next, the vender guaranteeing the Company against any loss as to such of the assets and liabilities as it may be mutually convenient to transfer. The property is capacious, well situated, and admirably adapted to its purpose, and it is held upon desirable titles, nearly the whole being freehold. The plant has with never-ceasing care and attention been improved as fast as advantageous modifications of machinery have been introduced, and its present working capability is adequate to supply a trade of fourfold the actual returns. The establishment i; moreover, provided with the most complete independent gas and water works. Looking at the present extent and condition of the pre mises, plant, and machinery, with a view to enlarged business without further outlay, the Directors feel con vinced that the establishment is one of the most perfect of its kind in existence. _ _ Relying also greatly upon the very confident expression of opinion which they obtain from gentlemen eminent in the trade as to the eligibility of the concern, the Directors sincerely believe the prospects of the Company to bo more glowing than they are willing to express. Mr. Frederick Hodges, the proprietor and vendor, in re tiring, desires to do so in order to relax in his application without altogether losing his interest in the business ; and whilst he stipulates to retain a largo share in the capital of the Company, he does not require to be paid in the sense of goodwill for the reputation and business of his house otherwise than out of the balance of net profits hereafter realised in excess of dividends at the rates of 10 and 15 per cent. to the Shareholders. The price to be paid by the Company for this celebrated business, therefore, is simply the amount of valuation in respect of the premises and plant, as settled by the Com pany:s valuer. It is well understood, not only throughout the trade, but also by the public at large, that Distillers, like Brewers, command an extension of business in proportion to the facilities and support which they can extend to the trade ; and this circumstance explains the heavy capital absorbed in successful establishments of the kind, and the peculiar fitness of such business for the employment of a Joint-stock Company's resources. The Directors have power to allot one thousand shares fully paid up. Prospectuses and Forms of Application for Shares can be obtained from tho Brokers and Solicitors, as well as at the Temporary Offices of the Company; and from Messrs. Clench, Smith; and Co., 1, Royal Exchange-buildings, E.C. Deposits upon which no allotments are made will bo re turned in full. HODGES'S DISTILLERY COMPANY (Limited).

From out the din and turmoil of the general election, our battles over, albeit the scars are not yet healed, the great Sussex meeting calls us to renew our contests or more peaceful fields, and knitstogether in the one bond of sport the passions and feelings that for weeks have been scat tered broadcoast over the land. On the lawn at Goodwood Whig and Tory cease from troubling and the turf is a model republic, admitting no parties within its pale. The meeting promises to be quite equal in attraction to those of former years. Though the field for the Stakes be somewhat indifferent in quality, yet the Cup and the va rious two and three-yr old events command all their wonted interest. The too confiding public, always eager to plunge on public winners, received a " facer" this morning by the announcement of the scratching of Gladiateur for tho Goodwood Cup. The horse has gone very suspiciously in the market for the last two or three days, and the event has been expected by those behind the scenes. The principal races of the first day are the Stewards , Cup and the Lavant and Ham Stakes, the second named of these bringing out two very high private reputations--Au gusto, from the French stable, and Mr. Merry's Primate. They were both defeated, however, by the speedy Mr. Pitt, whom the distance, half a mile, exactly suited. It was a fine race, however, necks only separating the two, and a few yards further would probably have seen the Primate the winner. Selecting the winner of a Stewards' Cup with 36 runners would seem a task only to be undertaken by some one qualified for a lunatic asylum, and yet it is extraordinary how often "the talent" are right in the race. The Sortie colt and Paris were equal favourites, and they finished first and third. Had not Paris been disappointed in an attempt to get through his horses near homo the positions might have been reversed. Their= Stakes did not afford much of a race,Valeria cutting down her rather moderate field in very hollow style. Breadalbane was pulled out for the Gratwicke Stakes, and we need hardly say he had no trouble in putting them to Mr. Chaplin's account. The attendance was good, though hardly, we thought, up to that of last year. The weather was everything that could be desired. Tho Craven Stakes of 5 sovs each, with 50 added ; for 3- yr-olds and upwards. Weight for age, with selling allowances. Craven Course. 9 subs.

Angell's General Floss, aged (£500), 9st 21b (T. French) 4 Betting-5 to 2on Tomato, and 6to 1 agst Verdant, and 8 to 1 agst any other. They ran nearly abreast for 200 yards, when the favou rite, with General Hess at her girths, drew slightly in ad vance, Verdant lying third, with Redoubt last. On reach ing the brow of the hill Tomato shook off her companion, and came into the straight a clear length in advance of the General, who was beaten in the bottom, where the favourite was joined by Verdant and Redoubt. The three ran in: company to the distance, where Tomato was beaten, and Verdant taking up the running, won cleverly by half a length ; a bad third. Lord St. Vincent claimed the winner.

Betting-5 to 2 agst Troublesome, sto 1 agst Idler, 6to 1 each agst Indigestion and Connection, and 8 to 1 agst Diadem. Idler near the rails made play with the favourite, and Shrapnell on his loft, who were followed by Connection and Indigestion to the enclosure, when the former gave way to Troublesome, who came on with a slight advantage to the Stand, when Morgan brought up Indigestion, who had been twice disappointed, but failed to quite reach the leader, who won a fine race by three parts of a length, a head only separating the second and third. Shrapnell was fourth, close up. The Lavant Stakes of 50 sous each, 30 ft, for 2-yr-olds ; colts Bst 101 b ; and fillies, Bst 61b. Winners extra.

After two failures they got away upon equitable terms ; Auguste on the far side, with the favourite next the rail; after running a few strides, appeared in advance ; but on entering the rails the pair were headed by the Primate, who came on in advance to the Stand, where the three closed, and ran nearly abreast to within a dozen strides of home, when Fordham made his effort, and just landed the Duke's colours in the last stride by a head; a similar distance sepa rated the second and third ; Salisbury finished a bad fourth.

As usual, several breaks away preceded tho actual start, in which Blue Mantle, Audax, Purity, and Gazza Ladra were conspicuous performers ; but at last they wore got in order, and precisely at nine minutes to 4 the signal was lowered, and they left the post wide spread across the course. As they reached thebrow of the hill, Light, lying in the centre, was observed with a slight lead, having Gardevisure, the Sortie colt, and Paris on her right, with Audax, Purity, Gazza Ladra, Crisis, Peeress, and Blue Mantle on the left, the latter lying wide of his horses next the rails. To these succeeded Molly Carew, the Warrior, Grati tude, Master Richard, Wild Agnes, and la .

CHAMBERS AND KELLEY.—As the time approaches for the great contest between these scullers, a great deal of interest is felt respecting their movements. Chambers left Newcastle on Saturday, and arrived in London on Monday, in company with his mentor, the veteran Harry Clasper, bringing with them two outrigged sculling-boats from the north. On arriving at Putney, they proceeded to the Star and Garter, and have located themselves at that place, Chambers having chosen it for his training-quarters in stead of Wandsworth. Ho looks exceedingly well, although a trifle fat, but as Chambers always loses a few pounds on the London water, we have no doubt ho will be quite fit on the day. Kelley has paid a visit to Calais during the past few days, where he has rowed and won some oar-races. Harry Clasper has built Chambers a new boat expressly for the race, of light white wood. The dimensions are : Length, 32ft. 10in.; breadth, -nearly llin. ; and her weight is only 2911 b. We understand also that Kelley has ordered his craft from Jowitt, of Dunston. Betting is 2 to 1 on Chambers. FRANK KILSBY AND TEASDALE WILSON. For tho great scullers' race between Frank Kilsby, of Lambeth, and Teasdale Wilson, of N e wcastle-upon-Tyne, for £lOO a-side, from Putney t 3 Mortlake, on August 7, there is already £75 a-side down. As in the Championship race, the North-countryman is f avourite, and he is expected to arrive in London this day (Wednesday), and we under stand he intends taking up his training-quarters at Putney, where he will receive the attention of his mentor, J. Hall, of Newcastle. Jowitt, of Dunston, has built a new skiff to meet his wants for the occasion, and likewise another new boat for Kilsby, who has shifted his quarters to the White gait, Barnes, where he is now training in company with R. Cook, of Oxford. Kilsby and Cook will also row for the Champion pair-oared race, and with Sadler and Cannon for the four-oared race at the Thames National Regatta. The proprietors of the museum are thoroughly convinced that the fire was the work of incen diaries. The fire was first discovered -in the base ment, and on immediately running to the roof to turn on-the water from the large tank, the flames were discovered bursting out on the second floor, the third, near the stage of the lecture room, and on the top floor. The treasurer, Mr. Max, who had gone to the roof to turn on the water, found his exit cut off, and was obliged to descend from the upper windo w by leaping to the balcony below. Returning to his office, he took from his safe $500,000 in Government Bonds, and left the building. The manager had lately. received anonymous letters containing threats of burning the building, on account, it is supposed, of the play of " Jeff in Petticoats."

The giantess, Anna Swan, had a narrow escape. She was found at the head of the stairs, in a swoon ing condition from the smoke, and was with diffi culty extricated out of the building. She lost everything except the clothes she wore, and in her trunk was $1,200 in gold, besides some more in greenbacks, and all her clothing. The wax figure of Jeff Davis was carried out, but just as the street was reached it was carried off. It was afterwards found suspended to a lamp-post. A sutler was forced t o j um p f rom th e t hi r d story window. He says he had in his company a man James Burns, of Lancaster, Pa., a member of the 62d Regiment, N. Y., and it was feared he perished. The monster bear was lowered from an upper window on a ladder by a chain attached to his neck. He was very dry. The learned seal was also got out, though he fought against the rough treatment he received. The tanks holding the whale and alligator were broken to let the water flood the building, leaving their occupants to roast rather than boil. Barnum, who was at Bridgeport, telegraphed to have his agent ready to sail for Europe on Satur. day to secure curiosities for a new museum. Matrimonial Life and the Extravagance of Female Toilet. A French journal gives an account of a curious contretemps, apropos of matrimonial life and the extravagance of female toilette, lately so severely commented upon by M. Dupin, procureur-general. It seems that Madlle. —, belonging to an honourable family resident in the best part of the provinces, had long given herself up to that in ordinate love of dress and coquetry which is often too much. encouraged by the fond weakness or false pride of parents. The young lady was conspicuous in the world of fashion for her costly and refined toilette elegance, but no one thought for a moment of inquiring into the source of so grand a display of lace, jewellery, shawls, and general attire. The family of the young lady was rich and in fluential, and the expensiveness of her toilettes served to attract additional attention to her youth and beauty, but nothing ill-natured was ever whis pered about her. Having reached the age of 23, she at length determined to accept one or the other of the numerous suitors who had longed sighed at her feet. She was ere long married to a young gentleman of good family and fortune. The calm joys of the honeymoon were soon interrupted by the unwelcome visits of silk-mercers and dress makers demanding payment of their bills, which altogether amounted to 40,009 francs (2,1,600) — debts which had been incurred by Madlle. -- be fore her marriage. Upon this the husband began to interrogate the young lady somewhat sus piciously, to express surprise, and eventually he got into a violent passion, winding up by de claring that he would not pay a shilling of those unexpected debts. The newly-married hus band ere long went off in a huff from the con jugal abode: He thought something was wrong. The young wife, who had calmly supported without complaint or remonstrance the indignation of her husband, immediately took her departure for Paris, accompanied by her lady's maid, and went to her aunt, who, report says, loved her tenderly. This lady received her in the most affectionate manner, all the more so when she learnt the coarse and harsh treatment to which her niece had been subjected. The husband, who had passed the day in a very uneasy state of mind—a prey to all the anguish of a man who really loves as well as doubts his wif returned home in the evening, fully resolved to par don his wife and excuse himself in the best way he could. He had worked all suspicion out of his mind, a common weakness with some husbands. What were his cruel disappointment and over whelming grief when his servant informed him that Madame had left without saying where she was going to or when she would return ? By dint of anxious inquiries he learnt the whereabouts of his cara sposa, and repaired forthwith to Paris, where he presented himself at the residence of the Countess of B—. He was informed that the ladies had gone into the country, and would not return before night. He was naturally greatly discon certed at this intelligence, and left his card, with a message that he was staying at the Grand Hotel, and would call again the next morning at eleven o'clock. On awaking, or rather after a sleepless night, the waiter put into his hand a letter from his wife, in which she upbraided him with his harsh and cruel conduct towards her, and rated him severely as a man of sordid disposition, who had a mind exclu sively occupied with questions of money. " Since," she said, " you married me only for my dowry, keep it and leave me." It is hardly necessary to say that the husband hastened to liquidate his wife's debts ; that the lesson was turned to good account ; and that the wedded pair are now com pleting, amidst the fresh and delightful foliage around the Chateau de•V the honeymoon, which had been so vexatiously interrupted. The late revelations about extravagant dress expenditure in France have put married men on a nervous qui vice concerning how certain ladies contrive to dress in such a costly manner. Since M. Dupin's observa tions many a reflecting husband has quietly sat down, calculated his income, and occasionally puzzled himself about the cost of his wife's toilette. Very often the figures are found to leave a large deficit in the domestic budget which cannot be accounted for. Then comes the question, is the Benedict in debt, or has some generous nobleman assisted him in dressing his wife? In some in stances he takes the opinion of a friend who is in the habit of frequently visiting the house, of course, on account of his friendship for the husband. A more happy choice of confidence could not be imagined. He is told very often that his wife's clever, really remarkable, housekeeping economy is quite enough to account for her exquisite, costly taste in dress. If things get very bad indeed, and a matrimonial storm darkens the household, the lady, with noble, open-hearted simplicity, confesses that she has been playing at the Bourse, and that she is indebted only to a female—namely, smiling Fortune—for the luxuriousness of her toilette ; in fad, - she has even a large sum of money by specu lating in Spanish railways ! A domestic embrace closes the comedy, all is forgiven, and virtue ie made manifest to an affectionate and now confiding husband.
