King street side Of the Citadel Green, and which
was covered with galypainted posters, announc-
ing to the world that MIKE LIPMAN's show was be-
hind them, has been removed. The place that
knew it once knows it now no more; it's glory has
departed and until another circus arrives to cheer
us, ne will be deprived Of the sight Of the sacred
cow, the nimble horses the flying leaps, &C., which
stimulated the curiosity, and were the cause
of many visits to the huge pavilion. With the ex-
ception of huge ring, nothing remains to tell the
spot where the knights of the sawdust were wont
to display the wonders Of their art. The ring is
stil used by.a number of small darkies, who have
circus on the brain, and who practice ground and

F1Rs.aAt 81 81 A. NJ: yesterday !: :ffe broke out in
the premises ssn Victoria Range, King street, occu-
pied by Messra HoTyafAN, :EsR ARHA& &co.,as
dry goods and clothing store. It was first dis
covered in the rear Of the second story, which was
used as work room to make up the clothing.
The flames spread rapidly, and although the
engines were promptly on the ground, they could
not prevent the destruction Of the building. None
Of the stock was removed, and what was not de-
stroyed by the fire was damaged by water so as to
be. useless. The; fire communicated to the roofs.
Of the adjoining buildings, and the stores were
delnged with water, injuring the goods materially.
Mr.. WIN. MATHrEssoN's clothing ssore to the north
Of the burnt building, was damaged BY both FIRE Gre
and water but only q small portion; Of the stock
was injured, and it was fully covered by insurance:
Mr.s5Jos FRANK, who owned both the store and
stock Of the dry goods establishment to the SOUTH
had 5000 insurance ON the house, and SIG GOO on
the stock. His losses, however, will not reach
that amount: The store occupied by. Messrs.
HOFFMAN, BRABHAm & Co., was owned by Mr..
LORE, and was insured for 5000; the stock was
incurred for 900 in several Of the city agencies
The fire is presumed to have BEEN caused by an
incendiary, as the store was closed oarIy in the
eyening, and no one SIC: s on, the premises. The
front OF the building and the lower story are COM
paratiyely unharmed, but the interior was COM
pletely destroyed, and the ruins will mar the
appearance Of King street considerably.

ADvERT1sMa.-The advantages to be gained by
advertising have been portrayed 30 often that it is
almost useless to expatate on the subject. Sue
cess Is dependent, in great measure, upon the
favor Of the community, and that can only be OBJ
tanned by presenting the claims to their patronage
conspicuously before them. The South has been
behind the age in this particular and should take
lessons from those places where advertising is re-
duced to science, and every available means is
employed to gain the public eye.
The Thunderer Of the press is perhaps the larg-
est advertising sheet in Tie world, but JNo. BULL
cannot compete with his Yankee cousin in this re-
spect for the means employed by the latter to ut
tract attention and puff his goods are not to be
equalled. In the. Northern cities advertising is
carried to an excess end is not confined to news
papers, but houses, fences, and even individuals
are ornamented With placards setting forth the
advantages to be gained by purchasing certain
nostrums. The great patent medicines Of the day
have gained their notoriety simply by the extern
sive advertising done by tho propretors, and their
success has amply repaid this outlay.
In our own city, beyond tho posters Of some COM
ing exhibition, the advertising is confined to the
newspapers, and it is only through them that the
public ore informed of the numerous places where
they can obtain the cheapest and the best goods.
Contract with the outside world has considerably
enlarged the views Of some Of our merchants, and
they have lately adopted few Of the customs pre-
yalent at the North. While taking walk q few
DAYS since, we encountered stalwart son Of HAM
,sar,ng wooden sign which stated to the world
tnat cheap clothing could be obtained at Mcssrs.
PARKER & CHnDs, No. 109 East Bay. The African
advertiser seemed much pleased with the atten-
ton be attracted, and marched proudly along car
ryine his s; Banner with the strange device" tri-
pmphantly upon his shoulder, and caring nothing
for1the remarks Of his colored brethren.
