FROM GIBRALTAR.

The brig Jane, which sailed from this port
several months since with provisions for The
Greeks, returned here yesterday She sailed
from Porns on the 18Th Of November, and Glib

oct from Poros, she spoke the BRUSH gun brig
Rifcman, tor Smyrna, and was informed that
the u S. figate Constitution had gone to
Port Mahon 10 winter.
We also learn by this arrival hat the Allied
squadron had sailed towards Conslautinople,
ia intercept any Turkish vessels that might be
proc erding from I at port. Nothing Of i'm.
poruance had taken place since The battle of
Navarino. The Greek pirates were still very

GREAT FIRE.--BURNING OF THE Bow
cry THEATRE. Last evening, about half
past six O'Clock, fire broke out in the liv-
cry stable Of Mr.. Chambers, in Bayard-st.,
near the corner of the Bowery. The build
ing was Of wood, and the wind blowing
fresh from the south west the flames spread
with great rapidity. Several of the adioin-
ing houses, which were mostly of wood,
were Immediately on fire, and when the fire.
men arrived with their engines it was al
ready too late to save them. Twelve horses
were in the stable, of those only two were
saved, the rest shared the fate Of the build
ing. Great difficulty was found in procur-
ing water in the neighborhood of the con-
ilagration. In the mean time the flames
were driven by the wind full upon the Bow
cry Theatre. No apprehensions were en-
tertained for its safety, as the side wall was
fire proof and the windows were guarded
with iron shutters. No precautions were
taken to remove the scenery and decora-
tons, nor the wardrobes of the performers.
AT length, however, Unless than an hour from
the first alarm, the wooden cornice of the
theatre took fire, and the flames, selling
the ends of the rafters, were driven with
great violence into the interior of the build
ing. So rapid was the progress that the
persons within and on the roof escaped
with difficulty. Two men were taken out
of an upper window almost sufiocated, and
another who was on the roof at the time i'll
