GENERAL DisoRDEE.-Yesterday afternoon.
several fights occurred on North Seventh street
between soldiers belonging to the I'd regular
tween a party Of this regiment and some of
SCOTS 800, which was originated by the reg
uia1s haunting the others with not having seen
service on the froht; and in the melee several
were badly used, one man having his head
much bruised and others receiving more or less
blows from the favorite instrument-the butt of
pistol. The police OF the second precinct soon
Quelled this affair, but did not make any ar
rests, as hardly had they put down one fight
before they were called to attend another.

TIRE-The alarm of FIRE to-day, about orr
O'Clock, was caused by the burning Of the build
ing in the Government square at the corner O.
the canal and Sixth street, which was used e.
a carpenter shop and store-house for garden
tools, flower pots, &c. The building, including
large quantity Of tools and the work for a new
dollhouse eighty feet long, was totally de.
stToyed, involving loss of about 5000. The
6rsmen were quickly on the ground aud the
Perseverance, Franklin and Metropolitan went
into service. It was without doubt the work
OF an ipcendiaEy, as no IRE was in the house.

HORRIBLE SI8HT.-Yesterday Coroner

Ethan Allen to hold an inquest on the body of
q solder found above Chain Bridge. The body
had evidently been in the water for some time,

OBsTRUcTED STREET CRossINa.-A CORES
pendent complains that the street crossing on
Seventh street, opposite the Post OH &c, is OBJ
6 ruc:ed by the number of fruit stands, wheel
barrows, dry goods boxes, &c, always standing
there, making it difficult to get upon the side
walk. This is one of the most public places in
the city. Cars and vehicles are continually
passing, and the lives and limbs OF pedestrians
are endangered in crossing, on account OF the
difficulty experienced in getting across the
street and upon the sidewalk. Those whose
duty it is to do should look after this atoncs.
