About O'Clock yesterday morning an alarm of fire was
sounded which caused by the discovery of flames in
ene Gwehg \ o. on Ihames street. between Bond street
ana broadway the property of Mrs Mary Alender and
in the occupancy of Mr. John Evers Owing to the hour
at which occurred it had made such progress before the
re department could be brought into efficient service
to result quite dsasrousy The building where it broke
out was occupied by Mr. Evers as a dwelling mattress
factory and -four and feed store and the combstibe na
ure of portion of the contents caused the flame. to
with such rapdy that two buildings were DESTROYED and
several others somewhat damaged before thew conid b
checked The one in which the fire originated was two
story brick building of which nothing now remains but
portion of the walls while almost the entire were
destroyed. The loss upon the building is estimated at
5000 and upon the stock at $780, there being insurance
upon either
The flames next communicated to two-story brick
building adjoining No. 5S, which owned by Messrs
Benner Co., and occupied by Mr. J hn Tzinsky as A
dwelling and grocery. This house not greatly dam
aged by fire, but the walls of the named building
having fallen upon the rear portion injured the CON
sideraby The damage to this building is estimated at
about $780, which covered by policy of insurance in
the Fremens office The stock and furniture of the occu
pant was damaged to the extent of S25 upon which
there is no insurance.
The dwelling No. So two-story brick owned by
Messrs Benner 4 Co, but unoccupied also some
what injured by the falling of the walls of No 60-the
back building and piazza being considerably crushed 1t
is fully insured in the Firemen' Office
The flames also spread to the dwelling No COX adj
joining the one in which the fire originated the
SIDE, ana II was almost entirely destroyed 1t the
property of Mrs Mary Aender and occupied by the
Messrs, Digenhart as dwelling and segar The loss
upon the building estimated at 5000 and that upon the
stock and furniture at $780, neither party being in
sured.
The dwelling adjoining, No 62, was also on fire. but
the flames were here extnguished without having caused
much damage 1t is threestory brick, owned by Mrs
Harriet Bennett, and occupied by Jas King as liquor
store The damage to both the building and stock in this
instance is estimated at about 5000 which is covered
by insurance 1t evident that this serious con.
fagration was caused by the incendiary torch as
forcible entrance had been effected through a side
window opening upon an alley, and the fire started
in several places amongst the mattresses The flames
spread with such rapdty that the family of Mr. Evers
who occupied this dwelling had barely time to escape in
their sleeping apparel after the sounding of the alarm

The following is Lord Mamesbury's dispatch to
the Hon. Geo. NJ. Dallas, in reference to the British
and Americans at the Frazer River gold mines:
''The undersigned her Majesty's Principal Sec
retary OF State for Foreign Affairs, has the honor
to acknowledge the receipt of the note which Mr.
Dallas, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipo-
tentiary of the United States of America addressed
to him on the 18th ins calling the attention Other
MaJesty's Government to the distractions which it
Is apprehended may be offered by the Governor of
vancouvers Island to the passage of citizens of the
United States to the districts in British Orcron
where gold is reported to have been found.
"Ihe undersigned begs leave to assure Mr.. Da-
las that the subject of his note shall receive imme
diate attention, and that her Majesty's Government
are, on their part disposed as far as they can prop
erly do so, to deal literally with any citizen of the
United States who may desire to proceed to that
quarter of the British Possessions. But her Males
tvs Government must necessarily ascertain in the
first place how far the charter of the Hudson's Bav
Company bears upon the question, and then gcner
ally from the law officers of the Crown whether
any legal considerations require attention on the
part of her Majesty's Government in connection
with this question.
The undersigned has the honor to renew to Mr.
Dallas the assurances of his highest consideration
