FIRES.

About 81 o'clock last night, fire broke out in
the large four-story brick building on Saratoga
street, between Chatsworth and Fremont streets
known as the Saratoga Brewery. The whole in
terror OF the building entirely consumed, to-
gether with the stock of hops and grain used in
CARRYING on the brewing business. The machinery
consisted oa steam engine, shating, vats. tubs and
rollers for grinding malt. Some few hogsheads OF
ale slowed away in the vaults under the building
were uninjured BY the exertions of the neighbors
the front office door forced, and the account
books, papers, &c, all saved The building was
insured for $1,000, the stock for $4,000, and the
machinery for 81 600 All the insurances were
with foreign companies. The origin of the fire as
undoubtedly the work of incendiary. The
building had been recently purchased by Mrs
Emma Blakey, and was occupied by her husband
William Blakey.

PROSPECTS OF TRADE WITH THE FAR EAsr.-If we
take Singapore as index of the progress of Eas-
tern trade, we shall perceive how much NAV be
done In brief period, especially with the enlarged
area opened to u.s. the increasing civilization and
the extended movements Of shipping in the Eastern
and China Seas. In quarter of a century the
Straits settlements have doubled their population
and trade; and Singapore, the great commercial
entrepot OF the East increases its commerce at the
rate OF nearly million sterling year. One thou
sand square-rigged vessels and from two to three
thousand native craft, annually enter at Sing
apore and the entire native and other tonnage en-
ployed in the trade of the Straits settlements is
from 100000 to 200 900 tons. The prospects of
future trade are dazzling in the extreme Japan,
Siam, Cochin China, the Chinese Empire and the
Eastern Islands, are the countries that will furnish
the elements of this new commerce. China has a
population of a milliona and half on sea coast
alone; but we are now also admitted through her
rivers to the interior Japan, with her population
of 50,OOO,OOO, has recently, by treaty, permitted
free intercourse with her people, highly advanced
in civilization. Siam is progressing favorablv in
the development of extended commerce We have
also, to take into the calculation the vast and unde
veoped resources of Polynesia and the Eastern Ar.
chipelagO, connected as they now are also with our
Australian settlement, which contain a present nom
ulation exceeding one million, and continually in
creaSng. The exports of the Australasian settle
ments now exceed f20, 900, 900 annually, and their
imports are of proportionate value. They draw
largely already upon China, the Straits Java and
do so more still, as communication becomes more
tacile. The Chinese have now spread themselves
over India and all our Eastern and Southern Colo
MES. We meet with them in the West Indies in
California, at the Chinchas, and at Panama They
have no longer that fear of travel which formerly
deferred them from facing ocean voyages, but with
the money getting desire of the Europeans, they
now make their way to any field which offers good
food, wages, and brighter prospects of return for
industry, than their own over-crowded and dis
turbed land.-Chino Telegraph.

THE WRECK NEAR LoNG BRANCH.-A correspon-

following particulars in relation to the ship Adonis
from Bremen, Dec. I, for New York, which has

his crew, at o'clock next morning They launch
ed the surf boat, boarded the ship and brought the
captain ashore. The captain insisted upon return
ing to the ship, but the wind breezing up, it was
found impossible to do so, upon the second at
tempt the surf boat was filled. All haste was then
made to shoot line over the vessel; the first at
tempt the line did not reach the ship, the second
the line parted, and the third was successful A
large line then secured 10 the ship and then a
hawser, which was properly made fast to the main
mast head. The crew soon understood the work
ing of the life-car upon the hawser, and FIVE of
them landed the first voyage to the shore. The
ite-car again despatched upon its errand of
mercy; this time, better satisfied six of them got
in the car, but oh, horror when within about
thirty yards of the shore, the line attached to the
shore end of the car gave way. Then there was an
universal shout of agony, the men on the beach
running to and fro; there quite a number of
ladies present who, as they looked upon the scene
turned from it with shudder.
