EXCITEMENT AT THE WALNUT STREET THEATRE,
PHlLADELPHIA-During the performance at Wal
nut Street Theatre on Monday night great ex-
citement was caused by the cry of fire. The audi
ence were terrified, and rose en- masse. A tre-
mendous rush was made for the DOORS and the
fright extended far that even some of the actors
beat hasty retreat from the stage. 1t seems that
IN the second act there is representation of a
house on fire. This was not generally known, and
when the flames burst forth in every direction,
they appeared so natural to occasion the cry of
fire. An explanation set things to rights, howev-
er, and the play went on without further Interrupt
tion. Several ladies tainted during the excite
ment, but no person was injured in the general
scramble.

DEsrRUCrIvE FIRE ON SHGpBoARD--The Ne,g
Steam&tip John p. King Burned at Her Wharf,
The steamship John P. King, built about three
months ago by Mr.. Westervelt, for Spofford Tiles
ton Co., consort of the Marion, took fire about
four O'Clock this morning, and is a total loss She
made her trial trip yesterday, and returned to the
city last evening; and it is probable that the con-
fagration was caused in some way by the fires
which had been built under her boilers. The John
p. King was the largest of the Charleston line of
steamers, being l,60O tons burthen. We under
stand that she is fully insured. Her value was
about 100000. The fire occurred while she was
lying at her deck, at the foot of Pier No. A. North
River. As the flames spread and endangered other
vessels, she was towed outside of the Battery,
where number of ferry and tow boats, taking the
city steam fire engines board, hauled up near
her, giving the engines opportunity of playing
on the flames. The steamer was burned fore and
aft, and amidships, to TIE waters edge. 1t was
said on the ground, whether officially or not we
cannot say that she was to have sailed for Charles
ton under the Palmetto flag and no other.-Nelo
