or to save the adjoining property. The fire speedily communicated to the block of buildings on the east, the first of which, occupied by David A. Brown, saddler and harness maker, and by Mrs. Jackson, mantua maker, was entirely destroyed; Wm. H. Davidson's Hotel, the next tenement, was partially burnt, and the clothing store of N. W. Nelson, adjoining, somewhat damaged. The roof of the brick building on Grace street, below 7th, owned by Dr. C. Thomas, and occupied by Thomas Lawson and John M. Lindsay, took fire, and the furniture was moved out. No great damages was done here, except by water, and breakage. Mr. Lawson, who was sick in his house, was removed to the residence of Dr. Bolton; in the neighborhood. The rear wall of the theatre fell and crushed two small frame buildings, owned by Green & Allen, one of which was occupied by Wm. Wildt, manufacturer of military buttons, and the other, we believe, as a paint shop. This property was not very valuable. Mr. J. H. Hewitt, m

Ogden, one of the actors, were asleep in the office on the second floor, front, of the theatre, when the fire broke out, and did not awake until it was close upon them. They rushed down stairs with such clothing as they could hastily secure, but returned again to save a sum of money (about $300) which Mr. Hewitt had locked up in an

At 3 o'clock Mr. Crone, of the night watch, passed the building and found everything quiet, and nothing to indicate the approach of disaster. In less than an hour from that time it was in flames, lighted, we doubt not, by the torch of an incendiary. The theatre is a complete wreck — nothing left but a portion of the walls. All the valuable scenery, painted by the elder Grain, Getz, Heilge, and Italian artists employed by George Jones; all the wardrobe and "property," including some costly furniture and decorations; rich oil paintings and steel portraits of celebrated dramatists; manuscript plays, operas, and oratorios, all are involved in the common destruction. Miss Jennie Taylor, the custodian of the wardrobe, lost about $1,200 worth individually, while the whole stock wardrobe under her care, part of which belonged to Kunkel & Moxley; and part to Mrs. McGill, was p

The theatre was built in 1818 or '19, by Major Christopher Tompkins, for a joint stock company, under whose control it remained until 1838, when it was purchased by Col. S. S. Myers. It was known, until recently, as the "Marshall Theatre." The season lately inaugurated bid fair to be the most profitable in its history, but its cancer has been suddenly brought to a disastrous termination. We learn, however, that it is the purpose of the owner to rebuild, as soon as circumstances will allow. The building occupied by Mr. Brown, on the east, was owned by Mrs. James Rawlings.
