Destructive FIRE.-A fire broke out between ana

the fire had made such progress as TO leave no nope OF
saving the building, any considerable portions OF
the printing materials in it. Messrs Langtree ana
OSulivan saved most of the stereotype plates OF
the Madison papers, and about 900 copies of the
first volume of the work; the other two volumes,
we believe, were entirely destroyed-The edition
was $500 copes three volumes to each, valued
at from $4,000 10 $4,000. They were insured
for $4,000 and their property destroyed is estimated
at from $4,000 to Sl8,Ooo The materials of the Ma

them. They were worth, we suppose from S6,OOO TO
$4,000. The roof and the upper floor of the Medical
