IL The Hungarians at the Irving House
tJo,
notice that their bills will not be paid after this
morning. This takes them by surprise, because on
two occasions when they have expressed to the
Mayor their desire TO find less expensive lodgings
and employment, they have been requested to gave
themselves anxiety, and to remain where they
were until something shond be done for them oy
Congress-
This manner of turning them of appears improper
and inhuman even, after what had passed between
them and the Mayor They should have had more
than days notice. and 1t should have been com
municated otherwise than through the servants OF
the hotel.
They desire, and ever since their arrival have de-
sired employment by which they can earn their hv-
ing. As yet no one OF them has succeeded in finding
1t. Something should be done to help them to it.
We are assured that the story of duel alleged to
exiles, is altog ether fabrication
DEsrRucrrvE FIRE-THREE BUILDINGS
DEsrRoYED.-Last evening, about S o'clock, fire
broke out in the large building No. % Gold ST.. oc-
cupIed by Myers & Co. piano forte mandatory.
Owing to the large quantity OF inGamma5le mater
in the premises the flames spread with great rapid.
ity, and before fifteen minutes had elapsed, the en-
tire building, which runs nearly back 10 Clfi-st,
was filled with one dense Of flame.
The alarm from the various fire bells soon brought
the Fire Department IN large numbers to the ground
and the brilliant hight from the burning building re-
Elected over the City, caused many OF our citizens
TO assemble In the vicinity of the confagration.
The fire had by this time gained the ascendency,
and although many streams OF water were poured
into the building they seemed to produce but little
effect.
The flames communicated to the buildings No. 30,
occupied by Henry Defot q Co, importers OF will
low ware, and to No. 81, occupied by Samuel
Howes. carpenter, 6. Vanmater, carpenter, and
VIM Gore, watch glass maker, both of which, with
their contents, entirely destroyed. The falling
of the high walls of Nos. 30 and 90. prevented the
flames from extending fnrther in this street.
The third story Of the brick building No 80 John
st., occupied by Messrs LongbOtham & jenkins,
Premium Binders Boards Mandatory, was de-
stroyed with its contents and the building through
out greatly damaged by water.
The buildings No 81 occupied by VIM Jessup &
Son. and No. 95 JohI.st occupied as grocery, No.
2s Gold st occupied by Jesse Delano as dwelling,
and No Cliff-st., occupied BY Blocker & Oothoas
rs an iron ware house, greatly damaged through
out by water and only through the active exertions
Of the frenen, were prevented from being destroyed
The loss of the various occupants of these build
ipqs Will probably amount to upward Of $4,000, as
