M.?A fire broke out about half-past 8 o'clock, in .the upper part of Haley, Nurse ACo.'e largo furniture warehouse, No. ill Wash? ington street, and is spreading with fearful rapidity, the wind being strong frorh Iho North-west. Tbe principal di , reotiou of tbe fire is now towards Harri? son street. Piles of light material, ? packed away in the warehouse, were like -so much tinder, and before tbe alarm could be given, great volumes of flame Were rolling up ?fty feet into tho air, and clouds of smoke rising. The heat generated was intense, and in twenty minutes the upper stories of the build? ing, from front to rear, a distanoe of 200 feet, was a mass of glowing flame. The fire worked back into the fl'auies of Geo. F. Bonney, on Burnatead plaoe, which raus out of Boylston street, near Wash? ington Btreet,.and destroyed it. Event? ually, tho walls of the immense edifice fell, and orushed to atoms the extensive gallery of Jourdain, with all tbe stores beneath it, on the opp site oorner of .Fayette Court. Toe flimes soon spread to another great building adjacent, and 'that was aloo destroyad, including Nos. 403,405, 407 and 409, Washington street. Tbe premises of Rhodes, Ripley & Co., clothing: .1. W.

Chief Dame voll expresses confidence that the fire will speedily be stopped. The loss already amounts to several millions. It continues its course Southerly, from its place of origin. The fire soon attack? ed the International Hotel, G. R. Rioh ardt, proprietor, No. 415 Washington street, and it fell an easy prey to the de? vouring element. * The sway of the mon? ster was irresistible, and the next to fall its victim was tbe large four-story stone front building, occupied by Kelly's bil? liard room, No. 419; George Thompson & Co., factors, No. 421, ana Montgomery & Co., eonfeetionefy store, No. 423. The fire on Beach street, in the Presbyterian Church, has been extinguished. . Tbe military has been called out, and crowds in tbe vicinity of the fire are being foroed baok, giving the firemen more room to work. 12.15 o'clock.?Tho fire is now fully under oontrol.

Last evening, about mid night, while the con? gregation was singing psalms, one of the sisters felt herself aggrieved at some re? marks of one of the brethren. A male friend of tbe woman sought the ag? gressor, and from wotds they oamo to blows, aud in a short time a general fight ensued. Chairs and tables were overturned, and sopn the floor was co? vered with a rolling and straggling mass of men and women, resulting in upset? ting ice . cream, cakes, jellies, &o.

From reliable data it is ascertained that tbe total amount of- ootton seized by tbe civil and military officers of the United States, ooming under the head of captured and abandoned property, was 166,000 bales. Of this 10,000 bales were released and balance sold, gross proceeds being 313,000,000. Of this the Secretary of tbe Treasury refunded claimants $6.000,000, expenses $9,000, 000, miscellaneous $2,000,000, leaving as net proceeds $26,0U0,000.

Judgments have been rendered in the Court of Claims for $5,000,000, leaving a balance still iu the Treasury on account of cotton seizures of $21,000,000. Alluding to tho rise of prices in Vien? na, the London Times says; "The fa? mous old taviog, 'See Naples and die,' might be freely translated for the warn? ing of intending visitors. 'Sea Vienna and make out your schsdule for in solvency*' Things are in a constant state of transformation, aud all prices are in u rapidly ascending soalo. It is curious to mark the alterations in the daily price ourrent of certain enterpris? ing restara/eurs. 'Roabif,' being at once simple and substantial faro, has been rising?40 kreutzers, 50, 60, aud now it is quoted at 90, with every prospect of a hardening market. Everything else keeps pace." The Detroit Free Press says: "A farmer went out of a store in that oity the other day, leaving his dog behind, and the clerks got an oyster caa and a string and thought they would have a little fun. The dog smelt snuff and after taking a mutton ohop out of one young man's leg, weut through a ten dollar pane of glass with extraordinary faoility. The olorks figure: "Four clerks into ton dollars' worth of glass, twenty shillings eaoh." A St. Louis man rooontly committed suicide on account of the death of his mother-in-law, and it didn't take tho coroner's jary five minutes to find a unanimous verdict of "aberration of mind" ia his oase. Frfn^^SlU^^ie B?Vre^'leV a?t ^Sedau, will disclose - he extraordinary turbnlenoe of French politic.-, aud indicate ?bat a purely transition regime muat be the tniuietratiou of Marshal MoMahon. Hardly had the .news of the inglorious capitulation of an Emperor with bib chief' army been announced in Paris, before Jules Favre, from the tribune of the Corps Legislatif, bccamo the pioneer of the new republic, aud tho 4th of Sep? tember, 1870, becamo one of those quo? table dates whioh form tho chief'feature of French history. It was a bloodless day; but it was a victory, too. Hurried away by tho crowd to tbo Hotel de Vi He, the new'government was installed according to precedent, and a cabinet formed of which oue extreme was the soldierly Breton, Troohu, and the other Henri Rochefort, the destroyer of the empire, now languishing in a fortress prison. Tho inheritance of the Favre Ministry was a disastrous war, * whioh subsequently involved the surrender, as prisoners of war, of over 800,000 sol? diers and the capitulation of nearly every stronghold in France. On the very uvn who had bitterly opposed the empire, during its nineteen years of op pressfvo role, devolved the duty of clos? ing its unfinished war and of signing hu? miliating terms of peace. Oat of tbe general ruin and chaos that | prevailed daring the closing days of January, 1871, there arose one who had long been silent in public affairs. It is truo he had made a circuit of the Euro? pean capitals to ?ud an ally, and he bad implored Bismarck and the Prussian King in their headquarters at Versailles. But throughout the extraordinary pro? ceedings of Gambotta at Tours and Bordeaux be had not the influence of a child. It whs ouly on the 8th of Febru? ary, when the French pooplo gathered at the polls, that the popularity of Adolphe Thiers was proven by his becoming the elect of nineteen departments of the National Assembly. He was naturally called to the position of Chefdu Pouvoir, and began with a resolute hand to repair the disorders of state. Fettered by tho paot of Bordeaux, ombarrassed by the insensate demands of monarchists pant? ing for an immediate king, embarrassed by the claims of the great republican cities, and driven to civil war by tho so? cialists of Paris, the opening months of bis administration wore characterized by dissensions and perils which havoseldom perplexed a ruler. The 18th of March found the great statesman in tho ridicu? lous position of a fugitive from his own capital; the 22d instant saw the Place Vendome the scene of a heartless massa? cre, and a mere accident on tho 4th of April prevented Bergcret and his 30,000 National Guards from seizing tho fur tress of Valerien. There the local Com? mune began to weaken; but Lyons, Marseilles, Bordeaux and Lillo exhibited revolutionary symptoms. M. Thiers hastened to assure the republicans that tho remainder of his life would be de? voted to tho establishment of an endur? ing republic, aud that tho ouly ambition of his last years was to become a second W&shiugtou. Then he sought them to remuiu quiet and pacific. They did. Ou the 22 1 of Muy Marshal MoMahon's investing army began to conquer Paris, and on the 2d of June he announced the submission of the capital. Followed then the barbarous executions at Satory and the fearful reprisals dictated by the monarchical Assembly. Tho re-organiza? tion of the army, the emission aud ab? sorption of tbo national emprunt, the gradual consolidation of the temporary regime and tho evacuation of occupied provinces by the Germans were the principal events whereiu M. Thiers dis? played an astuteness aud a vigor rarely excelled. In the meantime Henri V re? turned, temporarily, to Cbambord, tho Orleans Princes took thoir Beats in tho Assembly aud tho Bonapartists showed fresh activity. Tho situation became moro perplexed. One day M. Thiers was tho turget for the bitter denuncia? tions of the Right, and tbe next he fell under the impatient suspicious of the Left. Gainbettu rose week by week, aud became a power iu the tribuue. M. Thiers saw that the question would become, not na to the form of govern? ment?for the people were decided ns to that?but "ahull it bo Thiers or Gumbot tu?" He was for Thiers. He coquetted with the Left. The Right cried "Trea? son!" and the "Pact of Bordeaux!" Crisis after crisis followed, and agaiu Herald correspondents were sent to every part of France to await tho annual civil war. But tho skillful Parliamentarian, armed with the weapon of debate, controlled the factious from the tribune and culmed tho tumultuous Assembly at every ex? cited sitting. Tbo shrewd monarchists got tired. "Close his mouth," they said, "and his official days will be numbered." After a hard struggle, M. Thiers surren? dered his strong arm, and thenceforth M. Dufauro becamehiaspokesman. From that moment his power aud influence have diminished. The last few days of the session wore characterized by many elements of dissension, but the coalition was too well organized, and Saturday morning M. Thiers olosod his career as President of tho republio with a resigna? tion apparently voluntary, but in reality the most reluctant act of hm eventful life. Whatever the defects of temper, or the aspirations of the man, he has been more to Franco than Frauoe has bceu to herself. Marshal MaoMahon has long been tho most popular man in Franco. Even the Communists, whoeuoountercd the strong blows of his army, thought him au idol. When the Emperor died, in Jauuary last, he was expected tu go to tho funeral, but from a bcubo of military propriety ab? stained. With that lifo, as Rouher said, "Bcnapartism was adjourned for tan years!"?New York Herald. Au oduoated professor is roaming about the wilds of Northern Pennsylva? nia, lecturing at "early candle light on the soienoe of frenology and fysiology." Kation. -rFor every wbi to or black man killed in- Louisiana,lot -.every outrage perpetrated iu that State, for ruorder, arson, riot and anarchy, for the disgrace? ful position we stand fn before the World as a nation, incapable, for eight years after the insurgents had laid down tbsir arms, of suppressing a rebellion which had well-nigh exhausted itself by four years of open warfare, the late Congress is directly responsible. The President gave Congress ample time to consider tho unhappy condition of Louisiana; the oourse he had takeu was known by the whole country, and that course, he intimated plainly enough, he should per sevoro in, unless Congress intervened by some act of its own to prevent. The subject was looked into by a com? mittee, which?Senators of Oeq. Grant's own party concurring?reported that tbe Kellogg government was a usurpation, and that there ought to be a new elec? tion. But Congress did nothing, and the President choosing not to heed the intimation that the report of the com? mittee gave him, now nses the power of the Federal Government to uphold tbe usurped government of a State. If he meant to do right, Congress negleoted to give him the authority; if he meant to do wrong, they left him in entire free? dom to follow the bent of ? perverse in? clination. We suppose, however, now we shall have a ^ottkment of affairs io Louisiana ?the sort of Battlement that despotism always gives. How permanent it will be, how mach it will tend to tranqailize the South, subdae tbe rebel element and britig as all in accord in an indivisible Union of States, is another question. [New York Evening Post. A gentleman of "elegant leisare," and a b icbelor at that, has been amusing himself with matrimonial statistics, and out of 200 marriages published in New England journals, last week, only two of the ladies hod old fashioned names, such as Mary and SuBau. All the others were Mollies, Dollies, Pollies, Libbics, Tib? bies, Biddies, Hatties, Patties, Matties, Lizzies and bo on. He says if be can hear of some girl with a familiar "Chris? tian name,'' be shall "start for her." Au Indiana woman has recovered $50 damages from a bar keeper, for tbe ag? gregate of "time lost" by her husband in the imbibition of alcoholic beverages on divers and sundry occasions. Inasmuch as it takes as long to swallow a draught of pure water as to ingest the same fluid "qualified," the question arises whether an equally good cause of action against the corporate authorities would not lie iu tho case of ladies whoso husbands had too frequent recourse to the town pump. Evading tub Sunday Laws.?A novel mode of workiug the "Sunday selling" business was adopted at Port Glusgow by a blind man who managed to get a liquor license from the customs authori? ties for a large sail boat he possessed, and embarked with his customers for a short sail ou the river, daring which a good deal of whiskey was sold and con? sumed. Several trips of this kind were made on Sunday, tbe trade at last being interrupted by the local custom officers. Mexico Opposed to Partition.?A distinguished legal gentleman, perfectly familiar with Mexican politics and with the Constitution of that country, says there is no probability of tbe United States acquiring any portion of Mexican territory with the consent of that Go? vernment. The Constitution of Mexico expressly forbids tbe cession of any por? tion of its territory, and pablio opiaion ia that country is known to be agaiust it. Trotting Match.?Fridoy, June 6, has been fixed upon as the day for the trotting match for $1,000 a aide at the LiFayette Course. Augusta, between Mr. Chambers' Hickory Jack and a marc named Lady Emma, owned by a Georgia planter. This race follows one between the same horses run at Maoon last Saturday, and won by Lady Emma. The prospective race will be the best three in five. The new planet discovered within the orbit of Mercury has an anooal. revolu? tion about the sun of thirty-four days and some hoars. It will probably be named "Vulcan." Another planet is thought to exist in the neighborhood of Vulcan, and the masses of both when calculated will form tbe basis of correc? tions in tho orbits of Mercury and the external planets. The example set by our ehief execu? tive iu transferring tho seat of Govern? ment to Long Branch for the summer, has been followed by the mixed commis? sioners for the adjudication of American and British claims and counter claims, who are reported to have hired a cottage at Newport wherein to conduct tbeir de? liberations duriug the fashionable sea? son.

Iu Dodge City, on the AtohiBon and Santa Fp Railroad, a mnshroqm Western town where law ia but slightly observed, one of these interminable talkeis was "yarning" in a saloon to a number of the rough idlers of the place, strangers to him. The more loquacious tbe fellow became the more woary his listeners. Fiually, not desirous evidently of meet? ing the fate of the man in tbe cartoon, the listeners filled the wide-open pookets of the stranger's sack coat with powder, which, at a propitious moment, they touched off, at the same instant dis? charging a couple of revolvers around bis head. Tbe stranger took the hint at once, stopped talking, and placed dis? tance between himself and Dodge City immediately. A most touching story oomes to ns in a' Western exchange, oonoerning a lady in Kentucky, who was stricken with a sudden failing of the optic nerve, and \ was told that she could not retain her sight more than a few days at most, and , was liable to be totally deprived of it at ; any moment. She returned to her home, : quietly made such arrangements as would j occur to any one about to commence so j dark a journey of life, and then had her two children, attired in their brightest costumes, brought before her; and so, with their little faces lifted to hers, and tears gathering for the great misfortune they hardly realised, the light faded out Of the mother's eyes. The claims of a large number of dis? tillers for a refund of tax assessed under what was known as the "arbitrary role," whioh taxed distillers aooording to the amount of material need in distillation, instead of tbe quantity of spirits pro? duced, have been tuken from the files of the Internal Revenue Bureau and will be disallowed. The Supreme Court of the United States, in the decision of Biggs vs. the United States, sustained the Go? vernment in assessing taxes on distil? leries in the above described manner. Foot Tiiavblhb*.?From a recent de? cision of the United States Supreme Court, we note tbat a policy of insurance against the perils of travel by public or private conveyance does not cover the case of a person who is beaten to death by highway robbers, while walking at midnight .to his home from a railway station. The court holds that walking is not traveling by public or private con? veyance, these, terms suggesting the use of a vehiole or vessel. Funeral Invitation, .
