NEW YORK, Dec 7.-Tbe fire at
Brooklyn dwarfs the Pr. siden.ial quss-
ton. All the journals pages are de-
voted to details, though scarcely any
thing is known not already teiegraphed.
The Times says Fire Marshal Kenre-
dy, who has made an exhaustive exam
ination Of the circumstances attending
the fire. is of the opinion that at least
$50 persons persisted in the flames.
A. NJ. Palmer, one of the ltssees of
the theater, gives the following: The
number Of persons in the theater Tues
day evening was 400 persons in upper
gallery. 800 persons in the dress circle.
As in parquette, 81 actors. II musicians;
total, 1,01S; or including dressers and
other subordinates. in all, about 1850
persons. A fault in the construction of
the burnt building, and one to which
there is reason TO believe the dreadful
loss Of life in the gallery is iii a large

caught easily and burned rapidly of
course. The flames followed it, the
vcntilator at the top making sort of q
funnel for the fire right over the beads
Of the people in the gallery. 1t seems
more than probable that the smoke and
fire in the midst of which they were
thus placed. destroyed the lives of many
persons who might have otherwise IS
capped, even by the Inadequate stsirway
provided for them.

port Of the burial committee, states
that $50 bodies were taken from the
RUNS of the Brooklyn thcater.
