LOCAL NAT TIE II 8.

DestrMctiys Fire.-About three O'Clock yes.
terday morning the hAs country mansion of
Hon. James Lyons, situated on the Brook
turnpike, little over mile from the city,
was entirely consumed by IRE, together with
all his furniture, comprising first class as
sortment, and magnificent law library, that
cannot be replaced in the Confederacy. The
fire was the work of an incendiary, and had
gained such headway before 1t was discOv-
cred that the occupants nf the house, COM
prising Mr.. and Mrs. Lyons, Miss Mary Ly.
ons, and Mrs Robert z. Scott, came near
suffscating. Every room In the house was
flied with smoke before any one vas aroused,
and on awakening they had barely time to
escape In their night dresses. The density
OF the smoke was so great that at q late hour
yesterday afternoon we learn Mr.. Lyons weA
unable to move about, snd was suffering Sc
verely from its effects.
None of the family saved any Of their
clothing, and with the exception Of q few
triding articles of furniture, the entire con-
tents of the house were destroyed. In ad-
dition to the main building, an adjoining
tenement, used partly for the servants, wa
also burnt up. Taking into consideration
the superior quality OF Mr.. Lyons's furni-
ture and the character of the buildings, his
loss may be safely estimated At e16, 600 I'd
4900OOO. The library itself was valued at
over ~, 900, suppoeing that 1t could be re.
placed at oil, which 10 grcatiy doubted, az
there were many old aud highly prised works
among It that cannot be obtained anywhere.
We learn that Miss Mary Lyons, besides
losing her wardrobe, also lost magnificent
diamond ring aud various other articles OF
jewelry. This lady also had narrow escape
of her life When che awoke she was so be.
wildered by smoke that II was with difficulty
she succeeded In finding her way to the door
ofs her chamber, and ON reaching the hall
leading to the stairs, she became 90 much
stiaed by 1t and alarmed at her situation that
she had barely time to reach the stairs and
lind her way out Of the house before she
tainted and fell.
About the manner In which the building
was fired there are two or three reports.-
One is that large pile Of shavings and other
combustible matter was placed under the
house in several places and then set fire to,
while another has 1t that on the back porch,
Immediately against the door, the incen-
diary applied his torch. Be this a. It may,
there is no question of the fact that the resi-.
dence was set on Are, and that whatever may
have been the designs of the malicious per-
petrator Of the act, they were successful as
far as the destruction Of property was COM
cerned.

fered substitute authorizing the Presi-
dent to call into the military service not
exceeding $4,000 men, in addition to those
already called for, to serve two years un-
less sooner discharged, and that If not

time thereafter as the President may direct.
Any person who is liable to draft and has
been regularly enrolled, may purchase ex-
emption from the draft for two years by
paying 800 dollars. Any drafted persdn
may Puchase the like exemption by paying
500 dollars. The Communication money thus

pose of paying the bounties herein provi-
ded. Every soldier voluntarily and regu.
larry enlisting is to receive bounty of SOC
dollars. If he is killed or dies in the SER
vice before the expiration of his term of
enlistment, it shall go to his heirs.

| Nav YORK, June 2s.-The steamer City
of London, with dates to the 10th, arrived
early this morning.
The steamer Alabama arrived at Cher
bourg on the 18th, was admitted to free
Pratigue and landed forty prisoners crews
of two captured federal vessels, names not
mentioned. The Alabama was to be per-
mitted to make extensive repairs at Cher
bourg.
Parliamentary proceedings unimportant.
The Daily News believes the opposition
| plot for oVerthrowing the Palmerston min.
istry is abandoned, the intended resolution
being crattily Worded, and a direct no.
confidence vote failed to receive the APP
proVal of large number of conservatives.
A meeting of the Conference appointed
for the 10th was postponed till the 18th of
June. 1t ia rumored that England will
propose new line of demarcation, but
Denmark adheres to the line of Danewerk.
The Daily News says the prospect for
peace is as remote as ever. The Germans
continue to hold out.
Lord Palmerston said in the House of
Commons that the prolongatIon OF the ar.
mlstice was not final. The Conference
can again extend if desirable.
Continental news is meagre. There is
| some excitement at Madrid, under latest
news from Peru. The English and French
ministers are trying to effect reconcilia.
