Destructive Fires.

The valuable buildings owned by
Mr.. Rensselaer, Schuyler. at StilIwat-
or, consisting Of gristmiIl. two saw
mills fulling mill and cardiug ma
chine, were destroyed by fire on
Thursday night last. The loss, we
are informed, cannot be less than from
70 30 $4,000 dollars. The property
had been insured, but the insurance
policy expired some weeks since. The
fire caught in the fuiling-miIl, and
was accidental.
On Friday night the valuable mills
lat Waterford, belonging to Archibald
|MIntyre, Esq. of this city. were also
destroyed by fire. The Gre was COM
munirated to the mills, from null
ding adjoining, which had been urin-
|habited for some time. and the decd
lis supposed to have been perpetrated
by some villain. The amount ofpro-
lperty destroyed is estimated at near
10000 dollars. Eight thousand dol
lars were insured.
