WASHINGTON CRY, Feb. 2, 1852.
Last night. at halfpast 10, FIRE broke out ia
Iloyd's wine and fruit store, on Pennsylvania
Avenue, near the corner of 18th street, which
consumed the entire building, together with
Bishops periodical store, adjoining, and sew
erai small frame tenements. The loss will not
exceed $4,000, which is partially covered BY
insurance.
The recall of Lewis Cass, Jr., our Charge to
Rome, is, believe, determined on. Ex-Sena.
tor Menick, of Maryland, will succeed him.
Rum0r assigns various reasons for this proiec.
ted change. II is alleged that the Administra-
Pope cni bono? | may have word to say
on this subject hereafter, and will only add, en-
PEASANT, that in no State or principally in Eu-
rope, are the interests of the United States
lodged in more attentive and patriotic hands,
fhan those of Dir. Cass.
X, the correspondent of the Baltimore Sun,
states that the Civil and Diplomatic Bill will
be reported to the House this Gay-the state.
Inent is incorrect. The committee was in ses-
sion the greater portion ofyesterday, Sunday
and every effort is making to report the bill on
tomorrow, lruesday.) 1t may, however be
delayed until Wednesday. The committee de-
serve great credit for the progress already
made. If the bill comes before the House at
this early stage of the session, it is to be hoped
that its passage may be recorded ere the be-
ginning of the next fiscal year. The Book
keepers and occupants of the Treasury De-
partment complain bitterly, learn, of the fire.
quent unnecessary DELAY in the passage of the
several appropriation bills.
The sole and only reason assigned by Con.
gress for changing the fiscal from the calendar
year, and ordering it to commence on the 1st
! OF June, was to enable the Committee of Ways
and Means to mature and Congress to con-
slider the several bills, before this period, in
order that the appropriations might be placed
on the books Of the Treasury at the opening of
every fiscal year. 1t is too often the case that
these bills are delayed to late period of the
session, thus adding much labor TO and render
ing more complicate the books of the account

J. :. Mr.. g. V. Brooke, the distingus he'd trage-
ulan, Is drawing crowded houses nightly at the |
National. Madame Parodi gives grand con-
cert tonight, at Carusi's Saloon. On next
Monday night Lola Montez will make her debut
in this city at the National. Viye la humbug!
Sly intimations and rather dark inuendoes |
respecting the recent discovery OF frauds by |
one ,ofthe Secretaries are leaking out. If can |
discover eny authoritative source for these ru. |

yesterday morning, | listened with much sa- |
tisfaction to an eloquent discourse by the Rev. |

great attention by several members of both
