after the dcsh Of Col Burr several documents were
fou nd in his possession relating TO this estate, by
which plaintiffs seem likely to realize immense
sum of money. Among the papers was one from
Mr. Townsend, in which he agreed to re-convey
the property in Broomc street to Mrs. Eden, in the
event Of her being successful in the Court Of Err
rors-also proof tha, CO.. p. received an annuity
Of s400 per snnum during his life, which, II Is con.
tended was in consideration Of his suppressing
the documents, and agreeing to the fraudulent
transfer. The Church paid $4,000 in cash to
Mr. Robinson, and gave bond and mortgage for the
remsinder, the money on which, we understand,
he has realized. The Society holds warrantee
deed from him, which they recover, If he is a.
hle TO meet it, so far the land is concerned The
Church ITSELF Of course is involved also in the re-
suit The case will lie continued this afternoon

Shocking Fire.-3OO Lives Lost.

English papers bring US the following account Of
the burning Of Theatre a, ST. Petersburg, and an
awful destruction of human life:
The fire broke ou, behind the scenes and the di>
rector of the theatre ordered the curtain at the back
of the stage to be drawn up, tha, every one might
be aware OF the emnence Of the danger. The
smoke and flames poured out toward the body of the
house. Laughter WAS suddenly turned into pallid
fear, ard shrieks Of horror hurst from the hosoms
of thousands, who hut now had been convulsed
with mir,h. Grasping what dearest to them
all rushed towards the outlets.
These were too few for the magnitude Of the the
a,re, and il was very slowly tina, the foremost made
way for those behind the ~. So much the more ra,
pidly did the flames communicate TO the resinnus
fir plsnks, and quickly advancing from scene to
scene, they soon penetrated into the body Of the
theatre, sill swsrmng with people. As i'll luck
would have it, one Of the large folding doors a, the
entrance, which opened inward, had in the confu.
sion been accidentally pushed 10, and resisted all
efforts TO open it. Thus only half of the main en-.
trance, available for escape in this critical
proportionaly delayed.
The police would no, at first suffer private indi.
vdusls to render assistance. that they nigh, keep
the conduct Of the business to themselves. A
