FIRE ON BoTcE's WHARF.-Yesterday, at about
eleven o'clock, a fire broke out in the cotton sam
PIE room Of the Office of Messrs. ROBERT MURE &
Co., Beyces Wharf, and soon spread to the adioin-
ing Offices. The Offices of Messrs. SHAoKEIEoRD &
FRASER, ROBERT MURE & Co., T. s. & T. G. BupD,
HOLMES & sToNEY, R. T. WALKER, and the wharf
Office, were badly damaged. The property, we
learned, belonged to Messrs. JoHN FRASER & CO.
The flames bid fair at one time to extend to the
cotton yard, which, if they had not been prevented
py the energy of our fire department., would have
consumed vast amount Of cotton and rico. We
did not learn that there was any insurance on the
property burned. We observed one feature at the
fire which we think well worth naming. That was
the action Of the firemen. Many of them, at the
alarm, were at their business, and imrnediately
rushed to the fro, without their proper apparel
causing in majority Of cases the utter ruin of the
clothes they wore. This shows an appreciation
for, and s1oyalty' to- the good institution which
they represent, which should be remembered by
property holders with gratitude

one Of the police, who caught him in the act, ana
took him to the Guard House, where he locked

tied his disgust for the individual who arrested
him, as well as his contempt for the police gener-
ally, by breaking everything he could find loose
about him, 80 that the Mayor fined him S1O for
throwing bricks, and $40 for breaking things.
