Fire.

--About 12 o'clock on the night of Saturday a framed stable on Council Chamber Hill, belonging to John A. Belvin, was set on fire by an incendiary and entirely destroyed, together with six or eight bales of hay, which had been stowed away in the loft a short time since. Two old wooden buildings, situated on the brink of the hill, adjoining the stable, took fire from the flames and were also burnt up. They were in the occupancy of several negro families, and belonged to Mr. Moncure, of this city. The greater portion of the clothing and furniture in these houses was consumed.
