DESTRUCTIVE CONFEDERATION
Seven Housos Destroyed-Heavy
Loss.

After a silence Of nearly three weeks
the fire bells pealed forth their notes el
alarm on Saturday night between nine
and ten o'clock, in consequence Of a FIRE
originating in the grocery Of Joseph
Lambert, No. 10 Towards row The
ERE department turned out promptly and
made their way TO the FIRE as soon as pos
siblo, being delayed some by the misera'
BILE condition of the streets, which caused
the No. ! to break down before reach
ing the scene of the conaagration.
The Desoto No B, Captain John Sig
naigo, threw the FIRST water and was
soon joined by streams from the other
engines on the ground. A stiff
breeze was blowing at the time, tanning
the flames, which soon enveloped the
whole building and spread to the adjoin-
ing ones with alarming rapidity. At one
time it was thought that the whole block
would be destroyed, but the gallant exer-
tons Of the iiremen brought about a diff
lerent result AS il was five houses were
totally consumed and three others in
jured badly. The fire broke out again
about eleven o'clock last night, when the
iremen subdued il for the second time
Joseph Lambert, who kept a saloon in
No. 10, lost nearly all his stock. He is
not insured, his policy being cancelled a
couple of weeks since. Felix Leclare
had saloon and boarding house at No.
g. and is insured for $4,000, which covers
his loss. No. s was occupied by George
Hume as steam bakery, and had been
recently fitted up at great expense. Loss
$4,000 insured for $4,000. Cox & Hum

for $4,000. A portion of his stock
was saved in damaged condition. w.
W. Wyatt's agricultural warehouse was
at No. 5. Insurance $4,000, which fully
covers the loss. Norment, Rufiin & Co.,
produce dealers, occupied No. T. Their
loss is about $4,000. The loss of Brown,
Wright & Cooke, produce dealers, No. 3,
was slight. The buildings we're old ones

PresIamas Levied by Juarez-Orders
In Reference to the Treatment of
HMaNImilian-Senat Wilson, etc.
New YORK, May 21.-The Herald's
Matamoras correspondent of the 10th saws
Juarez has levied prestamas to the amount
of 100000. immediately after the re-
ceipt ofSecretary Stewards letter he issued
orders in reference to the treatment of
Macmillan, saying that his life should be
spared, as it was feared Escobedo would
have the unfortunate Prince assassinated.
Notwithstanding orders to the contrary.
That General was sent to command an ex-
petition against Canalas, who had rebelled
in the North. Corona considered the
ablest of the Mexican Generals, was ap-
pointed to succeed him, and now commands
all the armies of the Republic. An I'm
perial accommodating party, including one
of Maximilian's Adjutants, had been cap
tured and shot.
Senator Wilson made the last address of
his tour through the South, at Huntsville,
Ala, yesterday, thence he returns to his
home.
Judge Kelley addressed an audience of
some three thousand people, mostly colored,
at Atlanta, ia, yesterday.
The Times Knoxville special says Capt.
Chambers company of Scott county mill
tia have been ordered to Anderson county
to remain there during the court, in which
several important suits of a political ma
ture are to be tried. Other companies are
soon to be mustered and ordered into
active service.
Gen. Grant and party left Richmond
yesterday for Old Point. There was no
tour over the battle fields. The Pennsyl-
vania capitalists express themselves highly
pleased with their trip through Virginia,
and it is thought the~visit will result in
large Investments being made in that State.
The Worlds special says Surratts trial
will be postponed till the Sd Monday in
June, when the government will be ready.
John A. Bingham, from Ohio, the Judge
Advocate who prosecuted Payne and Atze-
rot on the military trial, has been invited
TO be one of the prosecuting attorneys in
