DEsIsucTIGN BY FIRE OF COOKE'S CIRCUIS AT
GLASGOW.—On Monday night, the large building at the
foot of the Saltmarket, belonging to Mr. Cooke, the well-
known equestrian, and occupied by him as a minor theatre,
was destroyed by fire. The flames were first discovered by
two police-substitutes employed to watch the ruins of the
City Theatre, about a quarter past one o'clock. The re-
flection of the light through one of the ventilating apertures
in the roof, near the south-west corner of the building, was
the first thing which attracted their attention, and a
minute's observation afterwards convinced them that the
place was on fire. An alarm was consequently passed on to
the police-office, and in the shortest possible time Captain
Wilson. the superintendent, appeared at the scene of the con-
flagration, followed immediately by Mr. Robinson and the
fire-engines. Notwithstanding the brief space which had in-
tervened, between the alarm being given and the
arrival of the fire-brigade, it was evident from the first that
any attempt; to save the building must be perfectly hopeless.
The Circus, although elegantly and substantially erected, being
entirely composed of wood, and the wind blowing directly
from the point where the fire originated, the extraordinary
rapidity with which the conflagration extended can scarcely
be conceive& The playing of the engines slightly arrested
the .progress of the flames towards the portico ; but so inef-
fectual was all the opposition which could be offered to the
devouring element, that in the course of half-an-hour from
the first alarm being given, the only vestiges of the building
left standing were a few burning poles and a small portion
of the doorway. For ten or fifteen minutes, while the work
of destructi on was at its height, the appearance of the con-
flagration vas awfully grand. The Circus cost for the eree-
tion betwee n 1,1001. and 1,9.00/., about three years ago. It is
about two years since it was used by Dlr. Cooke, but re-
cently it wc‘s taken by a Mr. Daniels, and fitted up for a
minor theatre. We have not heard the slightest hint as to
how the fire originated, but the matter, no doubt, will un-
dergo the usual investigation. Mr. Cooke has the building
insured in the Sun-office for 8001., and Mr. Daniels has the
scanery, dresses, and property insured in the same office for
300/. Both the policiek were effected about the middle of
last month, at the time when the building was opened as a
theatre by 11r. Daniels.—Glasgow "%rational.
