DEATH OF ROBERT MURE, ESQ.-It becomes our painful duty to make this sad announcement Mr. Robert Mare died at his residence, In Church street, about 9 o'clock last night. He waa born in Kirkcudbright. Scotland, July 26,1812, and was therefore not r?ul/e 59 years old at the time or his death. He came to America when qaite young and has besa for many years prominently Identi? fied wi:ti the cotton and shipping trade of our port. He Has held numerous offices-o? honor and trust in the course or his lire. He was president or the Charleston Chamber of Commerce, presi dent of the Sr. Andrew's Society, and an elder tn the First Presbyterian Church. But although M:. Mure never shirked responsi? bility, he n?ver coartad either the cares or the honors of o nice, and appeared rather of a retiring disposition. He stood high in the esteem of all who knew ltira, enjoying a rare degree or public confidence. For years lie has been looked up to by our y oui ger men as a good citizen, a model merchant, a ndi what ls more, as a fine specimen of a true Christian gentleman. The death of Mr. Mure wili be deeply felt in many circles. His Innere' will take place at 5 o'clock this afterno<.u a; the First Presbyterian Church. FIRE.-Between 3 and .4 o'clock yesterday morning, a destructive fire broke out la a row of wooden dwellings ou the south side of Spring street, near thecorner of Norman, which, but for the rain prevailing at the time, would probably have swept i hrough to Gadsden's Green. The fire originated tn the house of John Livingstone, which belnic built or wood, burnt freely, and speedily communicated the Dames to the adjoin? ing dwellings, AS soon aa the alarm was given, the engines were all promptly out; but, owing f<~ the hard puling through the sandy streets to the scene of the fire, and the long interval which elapsed rrom the breaking out or the flames to the soundlnr or the bells, one house was almost totally cooscmed, and two others were burning fiercely jefore they arrived on the spot. The Marlon steam and the Niagara hand engines were early on the ground, and commenced to play apon the flames. The others, however, soon ar? rived, and th? men went to work with the energy and der ermin at ton which characterizes our vol? unteer fire department. The wind shifted, aud showers ot sparks and large embers were blown across the street to the wooden store and resi? dence at the nortlieast corner of Norman and Spring streets. This building was speedily igni? ted, and the flames raged with unexampled fury The he-t aud blaze were now tremendous, and the rushing sound of the flames could be heard at a great distan te. The firemen were in their ele ment, howeve-, and while battling with the burn lng houses, steady streann or water were thrown on the coutlgious buildings to prevent the fur ther spread cr the devastating element. Tneir unceasing efforts were at last crowned with sue cess, and the fiant flames gradually succumbed By half past 8 the Are was entirely subdued, and after playing a short while upon thc smoking ruins, the engines left- the scene of destruction. The loss ls ns follows: The two story wooden dwelling houso* be loug ing to F. Lotts, considerably damaged, but saved from destruction by the efforts of the englne3. The two an i a half storr wooden dwelling house, with brick basement, belonging to Died i lek Stoecken, entirely destroyed. The two adjoining house? of the same size and build as the above, the property of John Livings? tone, the fruiterer, and of-.Cruger respecttve 'y, b oth totally destroyed. The two story wooden resid?nee on the north? east corner of Norman and Spring streets, the lower story being used as a store, thc prope rrj or Anthony Hernholm, entirely destroyed, with stock and store. The dwelling adjoining the above, in Spring street, belonging to - Waterman, was also con? siderably dams ged by the flames. Owing to some fault, which we learn will be inquired into, the bell did not Ting until some twenty minutes after the alarm had been given, and hence the ureat spread of the fire before the engines c uld be brought out. The three bouses on Spring stree: were all in a blaze, and the middle one almost consumed before any effort could be made to arrest the progess of the flames. The rain, which fell at .Intervals,'lu heavy showers, proved or great assistance to the efforts or the englues in kee ling the neighboring houses wet, and so less easily to be ignited. AH the bouses tn this vicinity are all built or wood, this circum? stance was specially fort?nate. This fire plainly demonstrates the necessity of a plank road lu that purtlon of the city, and the want of it was painfully experienced by the fire? men, who, after running a long dlstaice, were compelled to dng their heavy engines through .streets covered with several laches or sand. The origin or the fire has not yet been satisfac? torily expiable!, but lt ls believed to have been the work of an Incendiary. A colored woman named Gua Stooum, who was rtept awake by sick? ness In her landy, and resides tn a tenement house Just in the rear or tue building where the fire broke out, says that, a little before 3 o'clock In the morning, she saw a negro man Jumping over the fence tn the rear or Livingstone's h?use, and a short Ume afterward the lire was seen. The matter win be thoroughly investigated. The insurance on the property destroyed ls but partial, and Tor the following amounts : Ou the house owned by Stoeckea $900, tn Messrs. Colbura & How ill's Kgency. Onthotor Hernholm, $1000 on the building, in Messrs. w. B. Heriot & Co's agency. Nothing on the stock In the store. On the liou?e owued by Livingstone, $1500, In Mr. J. L.
