Fire in New York.

NEW YoRK, July l5.-This afternoon a
lot of wool just arrived from Chilli in the
Hamburg briggs CaEar and Helen, was left
on the upper end Of the pier to be taken in
to the warehouse occupied by Jackson i
Woodruff, at the foot of JorAlemon street,
Brooklyn, caught from some uuexpended
cause, and the flames spreading with un-
usual rapidly along the pier, and soon
reached the warehouse. This building is
100 feet long by 60 feet deep, was filed
with iuflammAble goods of every descrIp-
ton, aud in q short time the building Was
in flames.
The pier in front was thiekly studded
with vessels dischsrging their goods Their
rigging caught Ere, enveloping the vessels
in a vast sheet of flames. Meanwhile the
saltpetre, of which there was upwarde of
S24O, 600 worth in the building, kept on
exploding, hurting bricks, pieces of iron,
wood. &c, in all directions, giving the
neighborhood of the Ere the appearance of
a battle field.
So strong was the force of these e1plo-
sious that u nImber of fremen standing
on the pier were hurled into the water.
The windows in Atlantic, Court, Mouta-
que and other streets about q mile of,
broken 10 fragments. The Windows in the
ferry house front OF Wall street n. Y. were
shattered into atoms, and all along South
street These explosions kept on for over
two hours, when there being nothing more
to explode the fremen could approach the
ruins and pour water upon them. The
bark CorZsr and Helen caught fire in the
rigging and for some time burned brightly,
but soon the fire reached the hold, she was
however finally secured toEed out aud
scuttled. The vessel had just arrived from
Guantanamo Chill, and brought 9 cargo
valued S35, 900,
The Washington building was divided
into a free store aud bonded warehouse.
In the bonded warehouse, or southern part
we're stored large quantities of molassesr
sugar, hides, wool, gin, nitrate of soda aud
general merchandise. Part of the sugar
aud molssses was owned by Roche Bros.
& Coffin, and valued at S75 900.
In the free store was slowed large
quantity of guaLo, 100 tons Of which was
owned by the Peruvian government and
valued at S24O, 900, all of which is total
loss, not insured. There were also stored
therein some hides, wool. and quantity
OF nitrate Of soda aud other merchandise.
The nitrate of soda in both stores was
valued at S2I.OO The buildings owned
by W~-d-"fF = RrNi-=On which were de-
strt yed were valued 1T $3.50 600.
A ia.ge guau,.,y VI hides, wool and
slaves lying outside of the building were
also badly damaged; also the adjoining
lumber yard Of Ross & Son. The total
loss is estimated at 100000.

Steamboat Fire in St. Louis.

ST. LOUIS, July l5.-The steamboat FIRE
which occurred this morning is the most
disastrous that has happened here for sew
eral years. The E DIX valued a. $50
600, insured for S22, 800 by St Louis Off
ces. Cherokee valued at $40 600, suppo-
sed TO be insured for S25 900 by CincinnA-
ii uf6ces; arrived from Ohio river on

greater portion of which was lost. Well
come valued at SIS 900, had 80 tons Gov
ernment stores on board for Fort Randall;

Wednesday aud still laying on the levee
was burned. Northerner belonged to a
northern line Of packets, valaed at $40, 600,
not insured.
The origin OF the Ere not actually
known bat believed 70 be the work of an
incendiary, as the military authorities re-
ceived several Dispatches the past week
stating that there were q number of boat
burners 10 ST. Louis. Two men were ar
rested on suspicion and will have a hear
ing before the Provost Marshal.
Total loss cannot fall short Of 9 half

B4 Col. ANGUS W. MCDONALD, with
whose history in connection with the re-
belliOn and the Legislature at Richmond,
most of our readers are familiar, arrived in
the city yesterday handcufBed and in charge
of guard. He was arrested near Lynch
burg, on the rebel raid by Gen. Hunter.
This is the second time Col. Mcdonald has
tasted the sweets of the Atheneum. We
believe that on the occasion of his first
capture he was exchanged. The fact that
he comes again in irons would seem to in.
dictate that he has been guilty of some uu-
usual offense,

G6NEws FROM BALTMoRE.-A gentle
man who arrived yesterday from Baltimore,
gives an Interesting account of the pro-
ceedings there from Saturday night last
until Tuesday. He reached Baltimore from
this city on Saturday night and was shut
up until Tuesday, all the railroads leading
from the city having been interrupted by
the rebels. The excitement in the city was
intense. The streets of the city were all
barricaded and bitches dug in front of
them. Hundreds of people were pressed as
lsborers, and gangs of young men with kid
gloves and silk hats, were seen loading
government stores upon transports in Or
der that the property might be ready to
move in the event of the rebels capturing
the city. The banks put their money and
valuables upon the boats, which were ready
to move at moments warning. All sorts
of rumors were afoat At one time it was
reported that there was fighting going on
in Pennsylvania avenue at Washington
city. At another time the capital had been
taken, &c. As there was no commuuica-
ton these rumors caused the greatest fear
and suspense in the minds of Union men,
and the broadcast grins on the part of Bal
timOre Secessionists. The report of the
retreat of the rebels and the re.opeuing of
communication quieted the excitement and
everything now goes on pretty much as
usual.
Our informant says it is now well as
certained. fact that all the damage done to
the Northern Central and Philadelphia and
Wilmington roads, and in Baltimore couu-
ty, was done by a gang of rebels under Gill
more. This gang went from Frederick to
Westminster, about the same time the main
force started towards Washington after the
defeat of Gen. Wallace. Gilmore first de.
stroyed the Northern Central road, and
then struck across and tapped the Philadel-
phia and Wilmington road at Magnolia
after which they returned in nearly the
same direction they came, and succeeded
in joining the main body. The only resis-
tdncs made to this gang was made by an old
man named Day, 10 odd years of age, who
shot couple of rebels who were tearing
down flag from mis- house. Mr. Day made
his escape, but in retaliation for the act his
property was destroyed. There is no doubt
in the world but the whole gang could
have been captured if an attempt had been
made from the direction of Baltimore.

B~otFT oouHgrLs.-A CALLED meeting
of the City Councils was held last evening
at the City Buildings. The report of the
special committee on the salary of the Ser
geant and his deputies was considered
After considerable discussion the salary of
the Sergeant was raised by a msjority vote
from $4,000 to $500, but as two thirds
vote is required under the charter, or a
majority vote at two successive meetings,
to appropriate money, the subject was laid
over. The object of the proposed increase
is to enable the Sergeant to pay his depu-
ties $45 instead of SS5 as heretofore.
A message from the LIST branch reported
the concurrence of that body in the resolu-
ton apPrOPriating $500 for cleaning the
basin, and also in the other matters acted
upon at the last meeting of the second
branch.

NEw YoRK, July IS The Commercials
money article says, Fessendsu has ex-
pressed himself favorable towards an eK-
pedient suggested by the banks for avoid
ing the Inconvenience Of paying subserip
tions TO the loan in legal tenders. The
suggestion Is that instead of the SeesetA-
y drawing directly upon the banks be
should issue drafts payable At the banks or
at some one designated bank, acting in
behalf of the associated banks. The banks
hope that such checks would seldom re-
quire 10 be cashed, although they would
be subject TO payment in green backs upon
presentation aud that in most cases they
would be simply deposited without dis
tur bing their funds.
