Extensive fire
--Great Destruction of Government and State Property.--About half past 12 o'clock on Tuesday night that part of the Public Warehouse known at Brown's Addition, fronting 20 feet on Canal street, opposite the packet landing, and 130 feet on 8th street, was discovered to us on fire in the upper stories, occupied for past for storage purposes by the Confederate Government.
Owing to the combustible nature of the contents of the upper story the flames soon enveloped the whole b ons of the Fire Brigade, with the steam engine and other help, which was vigorously applied on the occasion, preventing the spread of the fire to the other property adjoining and on the opposite side of the street.
By the failing of the wells of Brown's addition to the Public Warehouses, some of the sheds under which tobacco was stored in hog heads several tiers deep, they were set on fire, but luckily at this point a surplus of water prevented the damage that seemed likely to ensue.
