was discovered in the rear of the Fountain Res
taurant, on Church street. The Engines were on
hand, and soon extinguished the flames befo re
much damage was done. The fire was evidently
the work of an incendiary, who obtained entrance
to the premises by boring the shutter on the alley
getting into the back room, and kindling the fire
under the stairway.
The Restaurant had been closed for several days.
and was owned by Messrs. Dunbar Butt, but
was sold out on Wednesday to james Heating, who
proposed opening the house in few days, after
making some necessary repairs and improvements
The United, as usual, was on hand, and rendered
efficient service. The Aid and Hope were up to
time, and took a part in suppressing the fame,
which, had it got well under way, would have
done serious damage to that portion of the street
before it could have been suppressed. The Hook
and Ladder company was out on time, but their
apparatus was not, fortunately, brought into
requisition.

MAYORS CoURr, PoRrsMoUrH.-Only one case
of Importance occupied the attention of his honor
Mayor Collins on yesterday, that of the attempt
to burn the Methodist Church, Wesley Chapel, j
in the suburbs of Portsmouth. Much time was
consumed in the examination of witnesses, and
Curling and two others, charged with the crime,
were committed in default of $500 security. C.
W. Murdaugh for consal ccused.
At such stage of the proceedings it were i'm
possible to form correct judgement, and highly
injudicious to express opinion as to the guilt
innocence of the accused, and our citizens and
authorities are two well aware of the loss and suf-
fering entailed by incendiarisms in years passed,
to need any incentive to vigilance in ferretting out
its perpetrators, or severely Furnishing them when
convicted of such offences
