Esrea-About II o'clock, on Monday night
last, o fire broke out In the upper story of
the old wooden tenement on 9th street, near
the corner of Broad. The building was
owned by the Hon. James Lyons, and for .
number Of years has been used - Offices for
several of the legal fraternity of this city,
In the third story some Of the Congressional
and Legislative committees held their meet
ings, while the first and second stories were
used respectively by Hon. James Lyons,
Judge William a. Lyons; Blackburn Hughes
and Littleton Tazewell, Esqs, - law Offices
This house was considered one Of the Oldest
in that section Of the city, and for forty years
tinguishsd lawyers Of the times-among
Washington, and It Is said. that great orator
Patrick Henry. The property was insured
In the Mutual Insurance Company, and sus-
tanned about d, 500 worth Of damage. The
roof was the only portion destroyed by 1re,
although the damage to other portions was
great from water and being pulled to pieces.
Although there seems to be no doubt that
the nre was the work Of an incendiary, yet
It II hard TO divine what could have been the
object, a. not IN article Of any kind d known
to have been stolen.
The alarm Of are about O'Clock on Non.
day afternoon was caused by the partial
burning of the roof Of the old wooden
building ON the corner Of 9th and Main
streets. The fire occurred from the burning
of foul chimney, and had Il not been fol
the efforts OF one sf its occupants, Mr.
Thomas Stacy, the building would doubtless
have been tOtaaly destroyed.
