FIREs---iNcENpiaF3isM.
4 On Saturday morning, at about half past four
o'clock, fire discovered in The premises occu
pied as coffee and boarding house by McManns,
on Annunciation street, between Poyefarre and
Delord streets.
The fire broke out in the barroom, under the
counter, and spread rapidly. But for the timely
arrival of the iremen some dreadful casualty might
have occurred, for the fire gaining towards the
stairway, which was already filed with smoke, and
up stairs slept Mr. McManus and family, and some
forty boarders. The engines were brought to play
on the stairs, which were soon cleared, and every
one could come down safely. The fire was finally
subdued and the damage confined to the bar-roona-
Itappears that when the alarm was given the
1 street doors were found broken open, and other
signs discovered, making it evident that this vas
an act Of incendarism. Whether any robbery
had been committed by the parties who broke the
doors could not be ascertained at the time.
The building is owned by Mr. John Brewer, and
| we are informed, uninsured. Mr.. McManus also,
i we believe, had no insurance on his coffee house,
the contents Of which are entirely destroyed.
Yesterday morning at about clock, disas-
trous fire broke out in Yard No. of the Union
Cotton Press, at the corner Of Tehoupitouias and
n Rofignac streets Three hundred bales of cotton
AZ. ,t,o fIo
well put to it to prevent the flames spreading
further The cotton, belonging to Bradley, Wilson
& Co., was worth about SIS ,0o0 and insured in the
Sun office. The sheds, belonging to Penn h Short
ridge, Owners of the Press,) were worth about
$4,000. Ali the circumstances, SO for as known,
show that this fire resulted frem incendiarism.
| The wall Of this yard kept the flames from get
ting into the Orleans Cotton Press yard, where $40
bales and the sheds were destroyed by fire result
| ing from supposed incendiarism about year ago.
| On Saturday morning, palpable evidence Of
cotton press incendiarsm was discovered in she
: ! yard of the Planters Press, further up town. "A
Z cottonbale smoked and blazed up; the fire was
: egtingushed before thad chance to spread, and
neatly stuffed into the bale was found quantity Of
half-consumed matches.
= The evidences accumulate daily, that system
and extent Of incendarsm, unparalleled in this ol
any other city, has for some time been seeking the
destruction of the most fair and valuable portions
a. of New Orleans.

a, A HOME ENTERPRISE IN WHICH THE LADIES ARE
Il INTERESTED. - Those enterprisng, energetic and
e well-posted young gentlemen, the Messrs +. b L.
IN Piet of the new and extensively stocked variety
store 1873 Canal street. have gone into industrial
S. well as commercial pursuits, and will doubtless, as
e we hope they may succeed in the one as fully as
d they have n the other. Observing that the vary
If ing and fancul demand for lady's dress trimmings
IS could not possibly be properly supplied by keep
r. ing stocks on hand, they conceived the idea Of
Is manufacturing here to order, that lady could
r. at any time and at short notice be supplied with
te any shade or pattern to suit dress fancy ol
as her own, no matter how peculiar. This idea the
ct Messrs. Pifet have carried out, having imported
the necessary machinery and secured the services
of experienced frstclass European workmen
o. Now they are prepared to manufacture right her,
of in New Orleans, and at the brefest notice, an,
yn article of trimming exactly as it is wanted, an'
on equang in texture coloring and artistic adapta
as ton the best imported work. This an enterprs
rs which is highly commendable, aud we hope tina
a. not many years will elapse before the dress good
ne also as well the trimmings, will be made in Nes
ne Orleans Meanwhile, we trust that the ladies vii
extend the largest encouragement to this home ID
" dustry, with reference to which an advertisement
