persons, favorable to the Independence, perhaps
Annexation Of Cuba, assembled in Fulton-st. pro-
cured Cuban flag, end, preceded by the ear.pierc-
ing fife and ether martial instruments, in express
ing their JOY 1t the landing of Gen. Lopez in loud
cheers, marched up Broadway AID other streets
to Stelle's Hotel Chambers-st. where they had
speech from 1t Alvarado Hunter and another
from Counsellor Edward Blankman. Thence they
proceeded up Broadway stopping at Hotel de
Paris, and then going on to Bond st. They passed
into the Bowery and came down to 10 Murray-st
the residence of Senior ATemento, where they
were addressed by Henry Ing, Esq. Of Baltimore,
at some length. After hearty cheers for Cuba, In
dependence, the Union, &c they dispersed. At
almost every corner Of their progress they were
met by cheering crowds.
FIRE.-About 10 O'Clock last night fire broke
out in the large 5-story store of Samuel Perry,
Commission Merchant Front-st near Whitehall
The store we believe is Of double size, and extends
to and opens into another Of like dimensions in
More-st. No. 2e also occupied by Mr.. Perry and
others. This fire situated that it got great
Roadway before the boys could get at it, although
they were on hand at the first tap OF the bell. II
seemed to be in the back part of the second story,
and soon ran up the rear Of the building. By the
extraordinary efforts for which our 6remen are so
nobly distinguished, the flames were confined to
this building though the whole Of it was destroyed
except the lower story and the walls. The amount
of water put on was greater than we ever before
saw on one building; Whitehalls st. was flooded
half foot in depth by the waste. and wading was
the order of the hour. The low position Of the
place gave the Croton a full head-l20 feet below
the level of the Reservoir A number of families
who occupied some old houses in More-st. moved
much to their own and the firemens annoyance, as
their houses were in no more danger than the City
Hall. The vast and dense volume Of smoke, borne
down by the heaviness Of the atmosphere, rolled
across the Battery and rendered the lower half Of
that promenade second edition of Egypt under
the curse of darkness, with the addition Of aching
and weeping eyes. Before the fire was sub
dued, the bells rang again for the same District,
for more men, we presume, as there was other
fire. We saw the Chief Of Police hard at work
there, wet and busy as the busiest. The store
was filed, we believe, with provisions-cheese
principally. The loss must be large-insurance
not known.
THE ENGINES OF THE ArLASTIc.-The follow.
ing is an extract from a letter of Mr. j. w. Rogers
Chief Engineer of the steamer Atlantic, dated Liv
erpool, May IL
"Ofthe performance of the engine and boilers,
am indie ed at a loss to find fitting terms to express
my appreciation. The operation of the boilers, not.
withstanding all that has been said and written 10
the contrary. have proved TO be the boilers for
ocean sttencr the engines, excepting the Civ
ing out OF che air pump bucket, have far exceeded
my most sanguine expectations"
After arriving at Liverpool, Mr.. Rogers went in
side Of the boilers which he found in the most per.
feet order, there being appearance of scales or
other deposits. In another letter, Mr. Rogers ex-
presses bis full confidence that the Atlantic will
make the voyage in less than ten days Several
other letters, received by the owners Of the line,
all speak in the highest terms Of the machinery,
and anticipate q complete triumph in future.
