they might not be disturbed by the family ar
riving home from church before they had ac-
complshed their design. No clue whatever
has been obtained to the suspected parties, but
! from the manner and mode of tho robbery, II
would seem as if the act was done by those
who were acquainted with the premises, and
who knew ofth money, Sc being there. The

may be able to ferret ii out

OCCUPIED by, Walter Crook, Jr., uphoIsIerer

and VERY valuable, was insured in the Franklin
office Of Philadelphia for Sl0,0 600, and in the
Baltimore Mutual Office, for a like sum of SO,
600. We understand that the loss on the stock
will not be very large, tho principal damage
being irom water. The binding is considera-
bly, dlmagcd in the upper story, but to what
extent cannot be asccrtalncd as yet. The adj
Joining three story brick house, occupied by
the following persons, was entirely burned
down: the first story by Me- George w. Webb,
goldsmith and jcwelIei; insured in the Frank
I'm Office of Philadelphia, in the sum OF 5 1000

from $500 TO $1,000. The adjoining store in
the same building, occupied by Mr.. IL, Coiburn:
bookseller and stationer; the stock OF goods liz
sured in the Franklin Office of Philadelphia for
$4,000, loss estimated at $4,000. The upper
story Of this building was occupied by MIR. Jos.
Neal, law book publisher, who lost a very large
amount Of valuable law books and stereotype
plates. The amount of insurance we could not
learn, bat we are informed that it will not CO.
yer the loss by some $4,000. The building,
which the above three gentlemen occupied, be-
lunged to Miss Mary Boyd, ST., and was insur-
ed IN the Equitable office of this city, in tho
sum of $4,000. The next adjoining three story

Sons, who had an insurance on it in the Equit-
able office Of this city, in the sum of $500
The loss in the building is estimated at from
$4,000 to $4,000. The store and dwelling of
Mr.. Joseph Boury, importer Of German fancy
goods, the next adjoining house on the east
! side of the fire, was damaged some little, but
! to no great extent. Owing to the prompt ar
rival Of our fremen, the fire was got under and
subdued, notwithstanding the cold, and conse-
quent freezing of the water. The buildings
occupied by MIR. Crook, and Messrs. Bond s.
Co. aud Sadtlor & Sons, were only damaged in
the upper stories and the roofs; the others were
entirely destroyed This is the largest fire we
have had for a considerable time, but the pro-
perty being so generally insured, the actual
loss is nconsiderahle.
The alarm Of fire about half past 10 o'clock
Oh Friday night, was caused by the burning of
a bed, in the boarding house Of Mrs johnson,
in N. Calvert street, near Beaufort alley. 1t
was eXtmguishod without doing much injury.
! Laudable P,ecauion. Yesterday morning,
officer Feshell found in the yard of house,
, occupied by negroes, III the rear oil Montgone-
| ry street, and near the Southern watch-hoase,
large sized coffin, with a blanket wrapped
around it and pole fixed to it, apparently Tor
| the purpose OF carrying it. Some imagined
! the "resulrectioniSts' had been about, bat the
greater portion thought it to be the latest case
OF small poX, and consequently every body kept
at most respectful distance. The officer OBJ
tanel the services of Coroner Hooper, but from
/ the facts which were subsequently learned, 1t
was not deemed necessary to hold an inquest.
1t appeared that negro girl, about IL years OF
age, had died from the small poX, in the centre
of the city, and her friends not wishing to carry
the body through town on Sunday, had con
veyed it out IN the suburbs, where 1t was found,
on Saturday night, and for fear of the inmates
of the house catching the injection, they had
very wisely placed it in safe place in the yard,
until the grave was prepared for its reception
yesterday afternoon. The finding OF 4 coffin
in such place naturally caused little excite
ment in the vicinity, but it proved to be ii wise
and laudable precaution on the part of tho
friends of the deceased, to prohibit as far as was
in their power any infection from the disease.
