Mr.. John E. Wilson, which buildings with the
most of their contents were entirely consumed.
The fire also consumed two bowling saloons,
belonging to Mr., James Wilkinson, and sta
BILE the property of Mr. John Campbell. The
Friendship Engine house, which adlolns the
factory of Mr. williamson, was considerably in
iured in the rear, as was also the adjoining
dwelling, occupied 10y Mrs. Stewart, as board
ing house. We understand that neither Mr.
Wlliamson nor MIR. Davis, have one cent OF
insurance. Mr.. Davis was absent in the wes-
tern part Of the city at the time, and knew
nothing of the fire until sent for. The build
ing occupied by Mr. Wilkinson, was somewhat
injured on the roof 1t is the property of Mr..
William C.. CONNIE, as was uninsured. Mr..
Wlkinson's loss in bowling saloons, furniture,
SC, will probably exceed 81 ,O0O-no insurance,
Our excellent fire department were soon upon
the spot and done every thing in the power OF
man to stop The flames, but owing to the com
bustiblc nature of the buildings we're unable to
do much service, other than the saving OF sew
eral houses in the neighborhood which was at
enc time feared would also be consumed.
The Roman .anphiiheaire- Grand Procession.
The Justly celebrated Equestrian Company of
Sands Lent & Co.. will enter the city this
morning about 10 O'Clock, in grand cavacade
procession. They will come in by the way of
Pratt street, and after marching through the
streets laid down in the programme, will pro-
coed to their new and splended Amphitheatre,
North Calvert street, where the most ample ac-
Communications have been made for their reccp-
ton. The performance of the company will
be commenced on Monday evening, and We
can safely promise our readers the most brill
liant equestrian season ever witnessed in Bal
tmore.
More Troops Wanted We have heard ru-
NOR, which we have been unable to trace to
any definite authority, but which has proba-
BILE foundation, to the effect that the Governor
will call in few days for the two regiments of
volunteers, intended for service in Mexico, be-
ing Maryland's quota of troops, as called for
under the requistion of the President at the
commencement of the war. Our volunteer
corps will probably have an opportunity also,
of displaying their patriotism. We give the
above only as. a rumor, but which, from the
signs Of the times, may have some truth in it.
Committed for Stealing. A man, namad
Richard Burnet, who says he is lately from
Washington, was arrested yesterday by officer
HAYS, charged with stealing eighteen fine silk

pears that he went into the store to look at the
handkerchefs under pretence of buying some,
and while the. proprietor and his clerks were
waiting on some other persons, he slipped
eighteen of them under his coat and made off.
Mr.. Hays was Immediately sent for, and after
a short search arrested him with the stolen
property on his person, and took him before
Justice Manning, by whom he was committed

a Reason for not attending Court. A young
lad an apprentice, was brought into Court yes
terday morning, on an attachment, for not at
tending as a witness on the part of the State -
He was asked by the Court "why he had not
attended|' when he replied that his "master
would not let him come until sent for, as he
did not wish him to be in bad company" We
have heard of q great many reasons assigned
for not attending Court, but we think this is
certainly very novel one, and evidences a
very bad opinion, entertained by the "mas-
ter" of the "Court House Crowd" The rea-
son not being satisfactory, the master had to
pay the costs Ofhis apprentices attachment"
