FRY IL BRooKLYN.-There was another fire III
our sister city ss night rather this morning, at
o'clock We give below, in addition, correct account
Of that which occurred at II oclock-some material er
or having occurred in the statement in edition of
this morning.
The frat fire broke cut between 10 and IL last night
IN the carpenters shop of John Davis over stable &C.
cuped by Nathaniel Cove ON the west eide OF Henry
near Cranberryst belonging to VIM. Raynor Owing
to the combustble nature of the materials, the fames
pread with such rapidly tina, there barely time to
rescue three valuable horses belonging TO Mr. g. who
loses about s20O worth of harness. etc The contents
Of the carpenters shop all destroyed and no in
.ursnce Thence the fire extended to and destroyed
stable in the rear occupied by VIM Mckinney carman,
who lost couple of seighs &c and likewise destroyed
the following property small shop on Henryst oc'
cupied by a coored named lnsley the house and
shop of John Connor tailor occupied by several fami-
lies and partially destroyed the twostory frame dwell
ine house of William Benner and occupied by Daniel
D. Whitney the damage to and insurance on which are
not ascertained.
At o'clock while the above buildings were heap
of smodering ruins another fire, which seems 10 have
by no means accidental connection with the other
occurred the south side Of Cranberryst less than
hundred yards from that already described This fire
originated another carpenters shop in stable on the
rear of No s. occupied by the same Robert Davis
whence proceeded the fire in Henry street This was
totally consumed Here Mr. Davis insured to
tho amount of 5000 ON his stock and $500 the tools
r. the Camden N j. Insurance Company For his losses
In the nrs Dire no was not insured at all The destruc-
non of tho second FIRE was smaller than by the first
although the aggregate cannot fall short of $1,000

insured e. 1000 in Brooklyn Company.
Al one time the Plymouth Church (Rev. Mr. Beechers
was on fire on the roof but il extiuguished In season
10 save the edhce.
There are strong grounds for believing that both these
fires as well that Tuesday evening In South Brook
yn were the work of ncendisries. Very efficient ser
vice was rendered during both by NewYork Fire
men, who crossed TO the rescue soon they ascer
tanned the direction of the flames.
