No. 65. occupied by Messrs. Hoyt, New

OD6th street, the stable, woodhouse and
other out houses of MIR. w. Smith. were de-
stroycd, for which he was insured in the
Bowery Office for S2SOO. A small frame
house adjoining was also destroyed, but we
could NOT ascertain the names Of the occu-
pants.
All the buildings destroy cd on 5th and
9th street and Avenue D, were handsome
two story brick dwelling houses, not one
stone of which is left now standing, the
flames having ragged with u violence and
rapidly that threatened destruction to all
the surrounding buildings. In the confu-
sion which prevailed, 1t was next to impos-
slbllity 10 ascertain the amount of loss, or
the amount for which insurance had been
ELECTED; but as far as VIC have been able
10 learn, tho loss amounts to over 9 900.
and the insurance to about one fourth that
sum. The loss however must be most
severely felt by the Numerous families,
whose property has bccn DESTROYED, and
who were turned in tho street to shift for
themselves rs they best could. The build
ings were mostly owned by J. G. Coster,
ESQ. and Were under the agency of James
Pickett Esq, MIR. Il. also owned several of
the building. but VIC ave not learned wletll-
or he was insured.
FlRE.--About ! o'clock yesterday morn
ing, tho store OH the corner of West Broad
way and Leonard streets was discovered
to be on fire. On examining the premises,
Il false key was found in the door. which
leads to a supposition that tho premises were
robbed, and set on fire by incendiaries.-
The building was occupied by VIM. Green,
a colored man, as Il dry good store. The
of which was covered by insurance. The
fire did not extend beyond the store.

Jas. Read and :Thos. Evans were executed
on the 9th inst. for Ncgro-stcaling. These
unfortunate men were convicted at the last
Fall Term upon the clcarcst testimony, and
appealing without success for a new trial,
were sentenced at Columbia in December
last. They were both strangers among us,
aud we believe in the State. Read had re-
sided in Philadelphia. and Pittshurg Penn
sylvania, and has left a family in N. Jersey.
Evans claimed to be last from N. Carolina.
In our last we published the reply of Gov.
Butler to the petition of n portion of our
citizens in behalf of Read; it is proper to
state that a similar effort was made for
Evans. NO one, we think, ever expected
the l~ntcrposition Of the Executive. Tho
proof oil guilt was conclusive, and no miti-
eating circumstances could DC presented.
But 1t is natural TO expect that in a refined
and christian community, the svmpatl.ies of
individuals would be excited. This was tho
case in this instance, and whilewc doubt
not that The Governor has lone his duty, we
know that he fully appreciates the motives
which prompted The benevolent efforts of
