CITY INTELLIGENCE.
Fire. The alarm of fire yesterday morning
about one O'Clock, was caused by the burning
of two-story brick house in Centre Market
Space. The fire was discovered in the variety
store of Mr.. David Bombarger, which soon
communicated to an adjoining store in the same
building, occupied as dry goods store by Mr..
Samuel Russell The dwelling part Of the
house was occupied by Mrs Marshall, who
made narrow escape with her life, her hair
and portion of her face having been considera-
bly, burned in etfecting her egress through the
flames She lost every article other furniture,
which, we regret to learn, was not insured
Mr.. Bombarger is insured in the Merchants Of
fee, for $1,000; Mr.. Russell is also insured in
the Merchants office to the amount of $4,000,
but which will fall short by $1,000 of paying
the loss. The building is the property of Mr.
Charles Myers, butcher and we learn is fully
insured. Mr. Bombarger had all his goods
packed up in boxes, to remove to Petersburg
Va, and Mrs. Marshall had her furniture also
packed up, to remove to the Eastern Shore of
Maryland, and were consequently all burned in
that condition, The building, and nearly all
its contents, was entirely destroyed.
.4nother. While the above fire was raging
in Market Space, another was discovered in
the store of Messrs Dennis s. Co, at the cor
ner of Hanover and Lombard street. which was
speedily eXtinGuisIied by the prompt arrival of
& few Of our fremen, who were proceeding to
the fire in Market Space. The loss is supposed
to be between $1,000 and $500; and is covered
by insurance in the Merchants Office for $1,000,
and in the Firemen's Office for $1,000.
The Fishing Excursion TO Rock Greek. The
company on board the steamer Patapsco, on the
occasion of the Fishing Excursion to Rock
Creek on Wednesday, was not as large as was
confidently expected, but what was lacking in
numbers, was amply made up by the quality of
the material, for a more select and agreeable
company have not been together on any excur-
sion this season. The boat reached the fishing
ground about ten o'clock, when the company
separated IN small parties, each party being
provided with an excellent boat, and all the ne
cessary arms and accoutrements for a war upon
the inny tribe. Their sport, however, as re-
CARDS fishing, was soon put stop TO, for the
rain commenced descending about IL o'clock
and continued without ntermission during the
balance of the day. After returning to the boat
the disappointment of fishing was soon forgot
ten in the pleasures of the dance, which was
kept up until the boat reached tho city about
O'Clock Great credit is due to Mr.. Dunahue,
Capt. Sanner, and Capt. Spear for the excellent
manner in which every thing was gotten up,
and we trust the next Excursion. (Which we
understand will come off 10 few days. viii!

The German Girl. In consequence of va.
rous rumors in reference to Margaretta SYler.
the unfortunate victim of most foul outrage.
with which the public are now quite familiar
we have taken some pains TO satisfy ourselves
in regard to her present condition. her desires
and the intentions of her friends. We have
heretofore expressed our qualification from the
fact Of her having been placed under the care
Of the warden of the Jail, Mr.. Thos o. Sol
lers, and we are pleased to know that she is
we'll provided for by him. in all that is necessa-
ny for her comfort, while she enjoys the largest
liberty compatible with the regulations of the
institution. In compliance with desire of
the German meeting, held on Tuesday night,
a delegation from said meeting with members
of the German Benevolent Society of this
city, visited MargaIetta Syer, on Wednesday,
to consult with her as to her desire to change
her abode to a private family in the city, and
it was determined, with her full and free con-
sent, that she should remain as at present, I'M
til the trial shall have been concluded, in
which she is so important witness. The
apartment she occupies is entirely distinct
from the ordinary places of confinement; is
furnished very comfortably; a good bed, and
we'll supplied table, with the society of her
brother, and female attendant and is by no
means restricted in her walks. The impress
sion, therefore, as we have heard expressed, Of
her having desired to leave her present quar-
tiers is entirely erroneous She is in the hands
and under the care of her best fiiends, and
should thus remain-as we have no doubt she
will. ...
.4ims-houSs Subjects In noticing Yesterday
a circular issued by the Board of Trustees Of
the Ams-honse, we fear we may have nisun-
derstood its true meaning and with view to
do them Justice, and further the commendable
object contemplated by the Board, we again
refer to the circular. A request is made of
magistrates, in all cases of ''untortunate app-
cants for admission to the aims houses" that
they be referred to the ward managers for
opermits," in contga-dstinction to s'comnit-
ments," by magistEiees, requiring them to be
confined for limited periods as required by
law. ....
In Jail. VIM. Brownwoll, charged with dis
turbing the peace Of the family of John M.
Williams, was yesterday arrested by officer
Lambert, and in default of security to keep the
peace committed to Jail by Justice Brewer
Assault Henry Barnes for assaulting and
beating Elizabeth Mallonee, was yesterday
arrested by officer Myers, and released on Sc
curty to appear at court by Justice McAllster
Watch Stolen-Re,oard offered. Il will be
seen by the advertisement of Mr. Geo. Meyer,
in another column, that watch was stolen
from his dwelling yesterday under circumstan-
ces of rather novel character, and it is hoped
that pawnbrokers and others will be on their
nIIard for the recoYerV of the watch and the
