From The Richmond Whig Of jan. i
DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.

One OF the most destructive fires with
which Richmond has been visited for ma.
ny years, commenced on Saturday night
about | | o'clock. 1t was first discover
ed by dense volume Of smoke issuing
from one Of The stores in the basemen,
story of the Eagle, and the flames spread
with great rapidity through the whole
building. The night was very cold, but
fortunately, the wind was light from the
North, and the roofs Of tho houses were
covered with snow, else the entire square
would have en- destroyed. The result
49, that the Eagle Tavern, the Apotheca.
ry Store Of Mr.. A. DuvaI, the Lottery
Officers Of Messrs. Clark and IIoyt, the
stores Of Messrs Putney, Booth, Regnault
aud Drew, were consumed, with a large
portion ofthcr contents. Mr.. Duval sue.
ceeded in saving most of the goods in his
store room, but the heavy articles in the
cellar were destroyed. MIR. Drew also
saved some Of his stock, but we believe
Mr.. Putney saved very little. Mr.. Booth
lost every thing in his store, and Mr..
Regnault the greater part ofhis stock.
Mr.. Mauck, the worthy occupant ofthe
Eagle, had barely time 10 save his fam.
ly. Mrs. Mauck was sick in chamber
directly over the room in which the fire
broke out, and was taken out, with her
children, through sufoca,ing volume Of
smoke.
The proprietors ofthe Eagle Messrs.
Pickett and Robinson, have sustained
most serious loss. They were only insu-
red for $4,000, which will not cover
more than third of their real property.
We understand the whole insurance on
the buildings destroyed, amounts TO some-
hing over "a 900, all of which falls up-
On the Mutual Assurance Office OF this ci.
y. The amount Of insurance on goods.
n other Offices, we have not been able to
ascertain.
The entire loss mus, exceed 1870, 900.
mi the interruption of business to the oc.
'upants will constitute a heavy item. -
We find it difficult TO enter INTO particu-
ars with accuracy, and therefore do not
attempt the task. Information on such
'ccaslors is always uncertain and contra
llctory. II IS enough to know that the
calamity is a serious one, not only to IN
llvduals, but TO the City.
The fremen, though laboring under
many disadvantages, such as an INSULT
,iency Of hose, engines, &C., acquitted
themselves with their usual zeal and &C.
lvlty s; and the citizens owe them everas.
