DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.-A fire broke out vester-
day afternoon at about halfpast 3 O'Clock, between
Lafayette and Girod streets, in Magazine street.
The flames first discovered in shop occupied
| by trunk-maker in the middle of the block They
rapidly extended to the adjoining buildings and IN
short time nearly the whole side of that part of
the street in flames. The cooper-shop of Mr..
| Ryan was much injured, but we are told that his
| tools, and the stock he had on hand, for the most
part, were saved. Back of Mr. r. shop there was
large amount of salt placed in shed for storage.
| The salt was damaged to a considerable extent by
| the joint action of fire and water. The building
| occupied by Mr.. Wellman, an importer Of drays,
| carriages, and clocks, was next destroyed. Mr..
Wellman's loss was estimated at so 500-no insur-

pleasure excursion, and when they returned found
their boarding house burned down, and many of
their trunks destroyed. Mrs. Grant also lost great
deal of her furniture. Too much praise cannot
be bestowed upon our gallant firemen, who prompt

alone that we owe the prevention of the destruc-

stoned by this disastrous fire is, We are informed
estimated at from ten TO twenty thousand dollars.
STEALING FROM THE FIRE-Two fellows by the
names of Ned Wilson and John Burns We're yester-
day evening arrested for stealing from the fire
Magazine street. The rogues will be examined
before Recorder Baldwin to-day.
CoNJUGAL FELIcITY-There is no state more
happy than that of matrmony-always provided
that the husband has plenty of money, and that his
wife Is handsome, accomplished, virtuous, and
obedient. But on the other hand, if the wife lords
it over her lord, the husband rules his wife with
an iron rule, then the marriage certificate is
less bit OF parchment, and marriage vows like
words of air. Yesterday a circumstance took
place at the corner of St Charles and Poydras
which was certainly novel in this vicinity. About
IL o'clock well-dressed pair were walking aui-
city along, when suddenly the husband snatched
his wife's parasol from her hand, and broke it into
a hundred pieces. The parties looked daggers at
each other, and after angry recriminatons, went
on their separate ways. 1t seems that the phantom
of the green-eyed monster had appeared in day
light to the husband, and he took the first opporlu
nifty Of wreaking his vengeance his fair spouse,
by tearing her parasol into tatters Awful state of
society!
SHIP FEvER.-The iron ship John Garrow, Capt.
Walsh, arrived yesterday from Liverpool, with a
large cargo and 260 passengers. This vessel is now
lying off Slaughter House Point, and we are panied
to learn that many of her passengers are afflicted
with that distressing disease known ship fever.
We hope that our city authorities will, without de-
lay, look into the matter and render all necessary
assistance to these unfortunate emigrants.
POLICE NEws.-The news in this line yesterday
was remarkably SLIM The police officers were de-
serted by all save or two unfortunate attaches,
who looked as if they wished themselves in the
mansions prepared for those who dwell below.
The books retained their virgin whiteness-al-
most-and with the exception OF few negroes be-
ing arrested for coming into the State in contrayen
ton to the law, and small batch Of loafers being
put in quod for lying drunk on the Levee. Nothing
else of Importance was transacted. The Reporters
of daily news looked solitary widowed doves,
whose mates had departed this fe and whose nests
had been destroyed by some unforeseen calamity.
Observation-Disclosures morning whilst several
of our citizens were riding down the New Shell
Road, they discovered the body of a woman who
perfectly dead, in skiff, which was fastened
to post In the New Basin. The corpse was in a
high state of qualification, as the arms and face
were of purplish hue. When our informant re-
turned from the Hotel on his way to the city, he |
no traces of either the boat or the woman
They were probably removed during his absence.

than twelve years of age, the of Mr. Thomas |
Fellows, a broker on Camp street, was brought in
by of his studer companions, on the charge of
having stabbed negro boy in the Place d Annes,
with kind of poignard made of the end Of small |
sword. Master Fellows stated that the negro had
slapped him in the face without the slightest provo
cation, and that he revenged the insult by striking
at him with the weapon above mentioned. He was
taken in custody by the police.
BURGLARY AND STABBING-Joseph Tarrio and
Charles Terre, were yesterday arrested-the first
for stabbing and the latter for burglary. 1t seems
that on Saturday night last, Terre succeeded in
making an entrance into the premises of Joseph
Tarrio at the corner of Royal and Barrick Streets
by breaking through the window. After ne had
stolen $50 in silver, he attempted to make his es
