I losion of engines under the mtieeum L buildings and of chemical apparatus in the lecture room. The Herald and a few other buildings escaped with but , little injury, although the contents were D somewhat,.damaged by hnsty'removal. At one time 4 was thought that the ,. whole block would be consumed and all I efforts to stay the progress of the flames I seemed hopeless. 'the efforts of the new. r ly organired fire department were almost superhutuan and were Anally stccessful. The heaviest loser is Barnum. The glass vorks of the Boinibian glass-blow ers, and several other articles of small value were 'saved. The total loss is es timated at from one and a half to two millions of dollars. 'Barnum was in Bridgeport at the time of the ire. He has announced his intention to erect a ne* building higher up town.

AlAIRs Ix FLOntoA.-A report-has just .been received at the Freedman's Bureau, from two agents, who have re centl traversed, the entire State-of Florda o horseback, in regard to the relations now existing between the whites and blacks of that State and, the present proslect of crops. These gen. tlemen say there are no armed rebels in Florida, and that the white population overywhere expressed the most ardent i wish for a continuation of peace. They found very -rude notions existing among the people congerning' the negroes; but it seemed generally understood and ac quiescod in that slavery was pt an end. 3 In many places the negroes, had made i bargins. with their old masters for wages ad had gone to work.cheerfully. t In other localities the former rights of the mas4r to flog and paddle the,.blaks t severely for triflingoffenses had not been entirelj.abaudond; but. othermethods of punishment were being gradually Sakdopled.

Some visitors to the battle-field of Sev. en Pines last week picked np a remarka. bly well develop'ed skull, in which a colony of bee's had built their home: It was evidently a last year's nest, for the bees were gone, though the nest remain, ed perfect. . A soliloquy as touching as that pronounced by Hamlet over the skull of Yorick might be suggested by this skull, and the strange incident of its becoming the habitation of bees. Whose skull was it ? Nobody knows. Yet somebody once knew the owner of it well, and some heart broke when he came not back from the battle. That skull, that once perchance, was animated by rare intelligence, that intelligence gono, becomes the resting place of bee's! [IRichnond Whig, 61h. DESPERATE ASSAULT OF A JEALOUS WiyE.-A telegram from Chicago, dated July 12, states: A horrible tragedy 'qccnrred on Dearborn street yesterday afternoon, in which Mrs. Mathias Trehune, wife of a ,respectable mechanic, attacked Miss Amelia Frasted with a knife, cutting her in the face and neck six times, destroying her left eye, piercing her windpipe, and inflicting wounl which will undoubtedly prove fatal. The fiendish woma'n then attempted to escape. but was arrested, and- now lies in4jail awaiting the recult of her victim's ijuries. The cause of this tradegic affair was jealousy. The husband of Mrs. Trehune has mysteriously disappeared. A KTNGFoR CANADA.-It is stated that a plan has been matured in England to avoid all cause of difficulty with the United States about Canada, by making British America an independent king. dom, with a monarch elected by the peo. ple, riis throne to be guaranteed by sev eral European powers besides England, Belgium, Holland, Denmark and Greece. For example, with these potentates supporting the King of Canada, and a similar league of Emperors supporting the Emperor of Mexico ; it is hoped by tlie people of the other side that the world may swing on smoothly for the remainder of its years. *SInOEMYIA LURS WANTIED.
