Destructive Fire at Belfast.

We learn from the Belfast Journal that very
destructive fire occurred in that town on Tues
day night, 9th ult., destroying the large foun-
dry buildings at the foot of Main street. and
two or three adjoining buildings. The foundry
building was built of brick, and was one Of the
most spacious structures in the town. 1t was
built about two years since. for the Belfast
Foundry and Manufacturing Company, and with
the machinery il contained, belonging to the
company, was valued at over $50, 900 Messrs
Henry Ames and Silas NJ Fuller, who occu-
pied portion of the building. suffered severe
loss-lhe former 10 the amount of 81 800, and
the latter $1,000. Joseph Denne,, Jr., sail
maker, also lost considerable amount The
dwelling house consumed belonged to Mr.. Sam
uel Sweeiser, and was uninsured; loss 5000
Neither of the buildings, or any portion of their
contents, were insured and the loss falls heav-
lily upon some of the most Industrious mechan-
les in the town. The fire is supposed to have
originated from the boiler furnace used for
casting brass. ......t
