peered house was cleared shortly after twelve
o'clock, and when locked up everything appeared safe. But
a few tours afterwards, however, as already stated, flames
were perceived through the back windows, and their grow-
ing intensity alarming the constable and others who were
'mains at the time, an instant alarm was raised, and the
proprietor, whose residence at the back nearly
_abuts upon
the theatre, aroused trees his slumbers, while information of
the outbreak wee forwirded to the several stations of the
Leaden Fire Bogie Ilatabbiszawat, the West et Zeeland

the destructive aissanat was at its height engines from
,Terenpaguars, Wetting-street (with Mr. Braidwood), and
many other statism, arrived; and, as soon as was poesible,
use were dim and the hose attached. The cantle-
ditivit having imassil many parties to arise from their beds,
won ao is& of emistance, and in a very brief space of
time not lass than six amines were pouring vast bodies of
water upon the foss from every approachable point
Owing to (he Whileg being situate at the rear of the houses
immediately smelts to the main, the hose was led, under
the direction Ili Mr. Faro, dm foreman of the eastern section
of the brigade lone, through the houses, none of which for-
tunately caught fire, in ooaeqce of the judicious manner
in which the water was tact About five o'clock the
roof fell in with a tremendous crash, driving the flames into
the properties' room, and, in fact, into every nook of the
building, none of the valuables in which could be rescued.
Notwithstanding the utmost exertions of the firemen the
flames were not extinguished before seven o'clock, by
which hoar the entire building, with its contents,
was
i destroyed. The manager is said to be insured.
The fire s stated to have been caused by an ig-
nition of some articles of a combustible character deposited
in the theatre, it is supposed, from sparks which
fell during the performance on the previous evening, which,
having smouldered for some time, at length burst forth, and
caused the disaster. Bo far as could be gleaned, no one was
injured during the fire, which, whilst burning. created the
utmost alarm throughout the densely populated neighbour-
hood where the the theatre is situate. The amount of the
damage has not, at present, been correctly ascertained.

COMMERCIAL 4- MARKETS.
MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE.

Tho o'Clock.—The funds have further improved
this morning, though the amount of business transacting is
limited. The govermnent broker continues a purchaser, taking
his usual quantity of stock on account of the commissioners.
Consols have advanced about one-eight per cent„ and are
now quoted 911 to 8 for money, and 941 to 1 for the account.
Bank Stock is 204 to 205 ; and Exchequer Bills are 7s. to
10s. premium.
The foreign securities, influenced by the tone of business
in the English market, have also a firmer appearance. The
speculators, however, continue exceedingly cautious in their
operations. Mexican Stock is this morning 221; Spanish
Actives, 261 to 8 ; the Three per Cents., 371; Buenos Ayres,
43 to 45 ; Danish, 86 to 88; and Portnguse, 38 to 40.

RAILWAYS.

The Railway Share Market exhibits decided symptoms of
improvement. It is not alone orders from the country that
have influenced prices but also the purchaser of many of our
leading capitalists, under the impression that the money
market will be easy for some time to come, the operations I
have been extensive.

CORN.

MARK-LANE.—Although the amount of business
transacted to-day in English Wheat was by no means large,
the quotations of Monday were fully. supported. Inferior
qualities of free foreign Wheat were Inquired for, for ship-
ment to Ireland.
Flour unaltered in value.
_ _

The arrivals of Barley since Monday hare been moderate,
and we experienced a fair sale for this article at that day's
rates. . . .

The receipts of foreign Oats are again considerable, 11,700
qrs. having come to hand since the close of tILz past week.
There was rather more inquiry for this description of corn,
and the prices of last market-day were well maintained.
Beans and Feu the same as last quoted.
