Extensive Fire.

BURNING OF EIGHT HOUSES, LAsT NldHr-LARGE
QUANTITY OF HAY DEsTRoYED-THE LOSS AND IN
sURANoE.
A fire broke out, this morning, between two
and three o'clock, in the row of houses just back
of Scott M. E. church, eddy John Cook, Esq.
The houses were eight in number, seven of
which were occupied as store houses for hay.
and at the time of the fire were all filled with
very large quantity of this material. One of tie
eight the one nearest the church, was occupied
as a dwelling. The houses are two story
bricks, and built in a most substantial manner,
but have never been quite finished.
The alarm was given as soon as the flames
were discovered, and the engines were prompt
ly on the the spot, but from the very nature Of
the contents Of the houses, before the streams
could be brought to bear the fire had gained i'm
yond the control of the firemen. The compan-
les remained at their posts until all danger OF
the fire spreading had passed, and early this
morning returned to their quarters The lire
has not as yet been entirely extinguished, and
three plug streams are kept playing up the ru
ing constantly. The cause of the fire is not
known, but it is supposed that it caught from
spontaneous combustion, although nothing pos
tive can be ascertained.
The loss will probably exceed $1,000, inclu-
ding the contents of the houses and the build
ings themselves. An insurance in a Newport
Company of $4,000 is held, which will reduce
the actual loss to the owners OF the property
to 81, 1000
Early this morning, the neighbors, kindly
mindful of the wants of the firemen who had
worked 30 bravely to save their property, fur
nished a substantial lunch of sandwiches and
coffee to those engaged.

Dram, atIc Notes.

BDiiicault's new play, "Bslle Lamar" (the
plot u which we described some time since,)
which he has prepared as the american Drama" :"
Was brought out on Monday evening, at Booths
n New York. John Mccullough has the chief
part, that of Philip Biigh, the Union Officer, and
Miss X Rogers Randolphis the heroine Belle La
mar, furious "Secesli" The play is pronoun-
ced success by the critics, being well put on
the stage, IN all respects, but the opinion seems
general that ar a drama its merits are con-
lined to the first act, the other two being simply
and exactly trash, adapted to the style and abili-
ty of Johnny Thomson. The frst act is des-
crlbed as full of really dramatic Incidents which
eliminate at It's close, forming play which is
practically complete in itself After that as
though Mr. Boucacult, had exhausted his leg-
innate material, he throws together mass Of
absurd action, tableaux, transformation
rrsncs and all that, in order to fill out the req
ulsite three acts.

New YORK, Aug. II.
The new steamship Hudson made special
"tra trip from her pier, 0 North River, to-day.
1t was in fact, pleasure excursion, gottsn mp
by the agents-and chief owners-of the Crom-
well Line, Messrs. Clark i Seaman, who had
on board about one hundred of their social and
business friends, ladies, gentlemen and chill
dren. Leaving the pier about III o'clock, we
ran down to Sandy Hook, and then, going out
side, proceeded down the Jersey coast to Long
Branch, where we stood in close, and passed
near the beach, eliciting saiuoos OF welcome
from the excursion steamboats, which was an
chored on the fishing banks, and the dipping oil
colors from the hotels. After passing down past
the West End and Howland's, within view OF the
flag that flies from the lawn Of the "Summer
Capital" we went about and returned to Now
York, reaching the pier about p. M.

the interchange of the marine compliments OF
the day had that sisterly warmth which two Will

Among the party on board were the Messrs
CLARK and Seaman, with their families MIR; BARD,

firm many compliments upon this last excellent
ship. ,.

The Hon. Reverdy johnson is spoken OF as

There is lively storm brewing in the camp Of
the Illinois Democracy. The action OF the state
Committee in putting a platform into their call
for State Convention has excited the Ire OF the
old s.wbeel horses OF the party, who object to
having their time honored privilege Of writing
all the resolutions they please taken from them
in 40 summary a manner. Several party papers,
as well as leaders like ex-Oongressman Richard

Hunting Him Down.

PRIVATE REWARD OFFERED FOR TAyLoRs ARREST
THE GOVERNOR URGED TO JOIN IN ANOTHER
REWARD.
The friends OF the murdered Robert A. Mackey
have privately offered to the Philadelphia detec-
tives reward to work up the case and cause the
arrest of Taylor. Every effort is being made by
the Mackey family to bring the murderer to JUS
tice.
As stated in the COMMERCIAL, yesterday, a
telegram was sent to Governor Ponder. asking
him to meet the two brothers at Dover, but as
the trains did not connect in the evening, the
meeting was postponed until this morning, when
both brothers went down ON the train, where
the Governor had promised to meet them. 1t is
their intention to join the State in offering a
large reward for the capture of Taylor.
No further clue as to the whereabouts of
Taylor has been obtained up to the present

UNHAPPY ARKANSAS.
CONTINUANCE OF THE REIGN OF TERROR.
Occupation OF Austin by the Negroes.

MEMPHIS, August r.
Late news from Austin Estates that after the
negroes were repulsed they disappeared The
white defenders then left the village fearing
the negroes would murder their unprotected
families on the plantations.
After they left for their homes Austin was
left unprotected, and the negroes returned and
took possession, breaking open the stores but
using no violence to women and children in the
houses.
The steamer 81. Francis passed Austin, but
she did not land, as she had many refugees on
board whom the negroes had threatened to kill.
General Chalmers is in command of the white
volunteers that started for the relief of Austin,
and the negroes have doubtless before now been
captured by his force.

verdict OF the Coroner's Jury In the
Newark Accident.

The coroners jury which inquired into the re-
sponsibility of the accident which occurred at
Newark on Monday evening exonerates the engi-
neer of the train, but thinks that the general
safety demands the placing of flagman at the
crossing. This, it seems to u.s. is an extravagant
demand, and beyond the general custom of the
country. To establish such precedent would
reauire the employment Of an additional num-
her of men so large that it would curtail very
materially the profits of railroads, and prevent
the introduction OF. many of the comforts of
travel by rail which are now vouchsafed US. At
intervals of every few hundred yards county
roads cross railroad tracks, some of them as
puhic an the one leading out from Newark, and
II would be dne to the most important that like
precautions bs taken at them MS at the place de-
manded if the precedent were once established.
There is no especial need of a fiagman at the
Newark crossing above all others. The country
is level at that point and trains may be observed
at long dist ances both above and below the sta
ton The testimony produced at the inquests
show the grossest negligence on the part of the
driver and it might have been possible that had
there been ilagman stationed there, the acci-
dent might have occurred all the same there be-
iug no assurance that Mr.. Norris wonld not have
attempted to push ahead of the approaching
