ALEXANDRIA, Jan. 10, 1855.
Yesterday, We had drenchinS rain which
continued with little intermission but this
mornings appearance favors a cessation of
wet weather
Early yesterday morning the frame ware
houses on the wharf, owned by James Green,
and situated In the centre of his valuable
property, were discovered to be on fire. The
FIRE bells speedily gave the alarm, waking our
slumbering fremen who were soon on the spot
with their apparatus, and after warm con-
test Of an hour and half succeeded in con-
qusring the flames. The property of MIR.
Green and P. H. Hooe in the vicinity were
several times in great danger, but Alexandria
fremen never allow fire to spread, and they
with unfagiDg energy kept the flames within
bounds The warehouses, however, were con-
sumsd, at loss of about $4,000, which. We
learn, is covered by insurance.
On Saturday, Justice Brown committed to
Jail a colored man named Nelson, charged
with stealing gold hunting watch from Mr.
J. C. Clark's establishment. on King street;
and on Sunday, officers Chipley and Davis ar
rested James &. Powell jacob G.. Slater, and
John j. Slater, charged with brutal assault
upon one of the auxiliary guard of Washing
ton. Justice English committed the party to
Jail.
On Sunday, Rev. Mr.. Dashiels, of Washing
ton, delivered powerful discourse to the con-
gregation of the Methodist Episcopal Church,
and Rev. Father Nota, s. j., of Georgetown,
preached at st. Mary's Church.
