FIRE.-The National Theatre, New York, was discovered to be on fire the morning of the 18th ult and before the flames were arrested, the whole of the interior of the building consumed It was doubtless the work of an ncendiary. At attempt was made to burn the building in the evening previous to
 its destruction, it having been fired in dozen places with spirits of turpentine and paper. These were discovered and extngushed, but only to the fine sdi6ce for one night. Suspicion rests upon a man employed by the Gas compan. He has been arrested
 The destruction of the building attended with loss of life One of the walls fell on the roof house of i'll fame, kept by Julia Brown, and killed of the unfortunate inmates, young girl about l6 years of age, who, il is said, came from Philadelphia on Tuesday last, and resided in the neighborhood of Calowhll and Twelfth streets. Her name is Mar garet -.
 The walls of the building scandalously weak that the lives of the remen considered in danger from the first breaking out of the fire.

PIRArIcAL.-W. B. c. Taylor, boarding officer at the Ballze has addressed letter to the Collector of New Orleans, in which an account is given of the capture of supposed piratical schooner The U. s. boat I1ard suspecting that all was not right from the appearance of this "long low black" craft, approached her for the purpose of examination. On nearing her, a man board who stated that his name was Thompson, and that he had been kidnapped from Mobile, jumped overboard and swan towards the Izard for protection. Through him, information was given that quantity of arms were concealed on board which on search, were found, together with pirates flag and piratical articles of agreement, m which war was declared without mercy, and with no quarter against the human race. The schooner and seven men were seized and put in irons, to be dealt with by the civil authorities. Some have suspected it to be practical hoax. The Pcayune ayers stout y, that it is "no joke" and so we believe.
 ANorHER.-We learn from passenger by the New Orleans boat arrived to-day, that yesterday morning, short time before the mail boat left New Orleans, the steam tow boat Tiger, brought up to the city the ship Charles, Gorham, master, which vessel she found about sixteen miles outside the Baze, en- trey abandoned and with marks of blood on her quarter deck and in her cabin. The Charles cleared at N. Orleans for Bordeaux the 3lst ult with car- 20 chiefly of slaves, and number of passengers, in
 cludng several ladies and children The cargo from appearance had not been disturbed, but there doubt there had been foul playwhether from pirates or mutiny of the crew remains to be ascertained. The Charles had three boats when she sailed-the long boat and one of the others missing. The third boat was found ten miles from the ship. The

NEW oRLEAkS, June D.
 We stated in review of last Wednesday morning, that unusual degree of dullness pervaded the Cotton market in consequence of the unfvorabe character of the Foreign avices per packet Caedona received in the first of the week. Since then there has been material improvement in the demand and the market has continued to exhibit not only very insctve but like wise exceedingly gloomy, unsettled and dropping cha racterindeed buyers have manifested scarcely any dis position all to operate, and when they have made ors prices named have been very low that held CTS would rarely accept them In Tennessee and N Ala bama Cntons there has been nothing doing least there have been sales of sufficient magnitude establish market for them and the before could not now be obtained, have thought it best for the pre- sent to omit quotations entirely they might possibly msead The few sales effected have principally been of the lower qualities of Louisanas and Missssippis and the decline submitted Is generally stated from ac though believe that majority of the holders not disposed to realise s great reduciion For the finer grades prices remain about the as previously the stock p market being small to render holders perfectly easy in regard to them.
