FIRE-DEsTRUCTIoN OF THE PANORAMA OF
THE UPrgK M1sslssIpPL-At about half-past
three o'clock this morning. fire broke out in
Washington Hall, which has been occupied for
several weeks by Pomarede's Panorama of the
Upper Mississippi, and we regret to state that be-
fore it was snbdued nearly the whole OF this SPLEEN
did work of the artist was destroyed AT one
time indeed the fire threatened the destruction of
the whole range of buildings known as Washing
ton Hall Buildings, but the promptness and eff
cheney of the Fire Department, aided by supply
of water in this section of the city has at the
present period succeeded in arresting the flames.
The regret is universal on all sides at the de-
structon of the fine Painting known as a contlnu-
alton of Banvard's Lower Mississippi, and which,
during the last few weeks, has attracted crowds
of visitors. There was a performance last even
ing. after which every thing was left in perfect
safety. The Washington Hall range OF buildings
is owned by John H. Stephens, Esq. and the IN.
surance effected in the Newark Companies will
cover the loss.
The stores underneath, occupied by H. Adams
& Brother and S. G. Dunn, merchant taliors, and
T. S. Peshine, shoe manufacturer were considera-
bv damaged by the water but we understand are
largely insured. The Offices and rooms on the sec
ond floor of w ashington Hall are entirely Hooded,
accompanied with serious loss to the occupants.
We learn that the Panorama is insured in one
of the St Louis offices for $4,000 We regret to
say that one of the ladders broke, while occupied
by several Firemen, precipitating them to the
pavement iniuring one of them though not danger
ously. At the present time as we go to press,
the fire is entirely mastered. Newark Mer' 18th
