On Monday night Mr. Mtiuager lirau entertained
lew iriemls at the Acatloiny ot Musio iu lrviu
place, little thinking ol tho tremendous house-warm,
tug that his luends were proiianug lor him about
the same time. 1 he curtain hud slowly doscondud,
tlif last piayer had retired, the lights were turned
down, and Eugene, with ma friend, tbe watchman,
lantern in hautl, prvpaied to make the grand tour in
search ot lost arnoies, slcopv lodgois, or daugors of
any kind. As tno tso sauntered ieisureiy down tlio
ma n aiU, r-ugcuo rusi.cd up his stiver spcctuclos,
raised his auu rn and said, -'dow luiornady dusty
the place is to-ulvht " A second pussod, and llion
Willi the revelation ot a franco be cried, " We're on
lire lire 1 liro! tiro!" Inntautly he rushuJ, followed
bv the watchman, to tlie rtreet, whoso friendly
echoes joined the loud liurrah. and notified tbe
world that dan ire r and trouble wore at baud.
Back into tlie building- with the rapidity of
tbouulit, and the generosity of a gontlomau, ho ran,
lor lar above the smoke and flame theie dolt two
lovely children and an aged damo, besides tbe )ani
tor, lluhlman and his wife. With groat dilliouity
these were gotten out, unclothed, irruib inir. aud in
lright, while the great bells Clanged aloud the Cry
lor Leip, and thestieets fairly rang with snouts ana
yells oi men and boys, aud the whistling engines
shrieked like devils on a pree.
The Academy oi Music belonged to an association,
ntid was lirst opened to the public uso by ianajor
liackott, with Mario and Uriai, in October, 1354
Its original cost, inc.udiug ground, was &345.UJ0
sum much larg. rtuau was originally coutom
Uiaied, but which was uuexpeo'edly swollen by tlio
item ot decorations. Whon iinished it preseutod
an appearance of unusual beauty. Unlike ustabnsu
mollis of simi.ar character, here and tu Europe,
itdipendedon to'm rather than color. Colossal
ligures supported the tiers ot boxes, and ornaiuonts
in stneco abounded in every part of the house.
These were in some way cumbrous, and, to a cer
tain degree, dangerous, inasmuch ai with aire they
became loose and dutacliod. The directors, who
have never neglected an opportunity ot nnuroviug
their j roperty. porcoivod the delect oi tbe original
pion, enpecially in viewot the nnpedimout to sight
which huge decorations pro eiited.
'Ihe puiars wore shorn or tueir proportions, tbe
gnomes and caryatides were removed, and opI last
season the piaster ornaments of the ceiling were
taken down, 'ihe range oi vision was greauy ex
tended, and the house assnmed 'hut chane and ele
gant appearance which must bo long remain rami
liar to us. It was aiways bright and wen ordered ;
always ready for occupancy ; always eiean aud in
good order. . In the early years of its existence It
was anything but successful. Die shares wore seve
ral litres at a very low ebb, but as good inanaqrumont
supplanted speculation, and the desire lor operatio
music became more general, they grauually rose in
murkct value. Under Mr. Marerzok's Direction thoy
bad attained their highest price. Each share of
fclUOO entitled the holder to an admission and toai
to each oublio performance, a consiuerution trhich
was sutticient.
The stockholders received a moderate rent lor
operatic performances, and of lato year hare been
fortunate in renting the house lor other purposes.
Thanks to these causes the deb: with wincli the
building was once burdened was gradually liqui
dated. At the lime ot tlio tire there remained but
8(i0 000. Insignificant as this sum may reom, it is
rendeied BtiH smaller by tlio laei that the drrect on
Dad a cash surplus of $30,000. 1'his, with the insur
ance ot fcloO 000, leave the directors $180,000 witn
which to recommence operations. I ho Insnranoe is
for (mall sums la rood oflices, and will be speedily
ard easily recovered.
It mav be added here that the real estate on which
the walls of the Academy yet stand has vastly iu
creosi d in valuo. it could be sold to-day ior three
times what it cost originally. As a speculation then
it has paid, au4 paid handsomely. But it is in
anotbor regard that we must deplore its loss, it was
the first important art institut.on (it wo oxoopt the
Astoi i'lace Opera House) erected in this city. In
an incredibly short puce ol time it created a tute
loroi era' io music which, it exigcant, was yet exact.
We have had the best singers here, and judged them
so luiriy that the verdict ot a Mew i ork audience is
now regarded as a good letter ot introduction to the
leading hout-es of London and l'aris. Nor did its
value end here It led to the erection of similar
opera huuxoa in a'l the orincipa cities of tlio tint
and v esi,and so extended the oircle of refining and
dtligLtful lLllueiice.
IiEaCUIPTION OT THU HOUSE.
From the ceutie oi the parquet te the thoatro pre
fpiited an exeeedinir handsome efi'uct, although even
there tlie lortuous horse-shoe Bliaoo struck the ob
server as somewhat singular, i'he balcony ooxes,
or thoNe nearly on a .ovol with the parquefto, bad
tanrlbter fronts, painted wbito, with red vely.it
cushions. '1 be tint tier was paLelled, and in niches
small juvenile 11 a u res in p aster were inserted em
blematic ol musical art. J here were three diQuront
kinds of figures ono playin" the flute, another the
castanets, urd a third tlie cymbals. The seooud
tier was embossed with lyies. ihe third tier was
plain. There were twenty-one chandelier brackets
oi elaborate workmanship executed in zinc, to each
tier. All the diiierent tiers, together, with the pros
cenium boxes, were painted m dead white aud gold.
There were eighteen proscenium boxes, very spa
clous and elevant. Over these, on oacu side, wore
three large figures plating trumpets, aud botween
tuese were lour pigeon-like boxes, called, lor some
perlectly ncxplicable reason, "Shakespeare boxes "
In the parquette, balcony, and first and second
tiers theie were about 2u00 iron arm chairs, fitted up
with BDiiiig seats, so thai, they folded up whon not in
use, and aflurded an oasy means of ingress and
egress. Tbesu chairs were the invention ot A H.
Allen, of lioitou. Troscemum and private boxes
had ordinary chairs. The galleiy, or amphitheatre,
as it was called, was calculated to seat about 1500 or
1800 persons The forms were comfortably backed,
and bad good, easy leather cushions. .
biuce those early days, now nearly twelve roars
since, great changes have taken piaoe in the ma
nagement of the Academy, the desires and capaoiues
oi tbe people, and the ouaraclerof the works pro
duced. Kumorous managers have had their orief
day upon the stage, of whom we recall the fol'ow.
mg: .lames H. Huckett opened the Academy in 1864,
with Gnsi and Mario.- Max Maretzek next had 0e
Hull for s brief season, i'balou & Coit, short sea
son. William Henry ray no, a season of forty

BTATXMBBTT OF MAX MAEKTZEK
The first I knew of the fire, Mr. . a friend,
came to my houso at Statea Island and toid me the
Academy was burned down. I am at a loss to under
stand the cause of the tire, unless It was tlio act of
n moendiuiy I am convinced, indeed, after careful
examination, and upon a review of all taa oirourn
stances attending the fire, that it was the de iberate
act ot interested parties. That I was not interested
is evident Irom the tact that 1 have lost some
17.000. The fire was lirst discovered under the
psiquette, and almost at ouoe it appeared at the
roof ot the Academy. The place beneath the par
quette has not been usod, to my knowlodgo, since
the llai a'Opera. and no fire is ever needed there.
Madame Uazzauiga was, it seems, somewhat tardy
in leaving the house aitor the opera, aud
while yet in her dressing-room was accosted by
two men, who said to hen "Come hurry up,
Madame, you are late." At that time even, the
bouse mulled, 1 am told, as if it was filled with
brimstone. A'l th wardrobe, properties, and mus e
ot nn operas, incladin the new and extens rn m i
t ria ns d in the production of L' Afriminr, L'Etni'r
du Jord, and Criipmo, were dostrovrd. A va uab o

In madness there is aouie.inus a method, you

has onpuged a tie house lor the next season for
Ilisinri and his (rout e, and I hope ins lriemls will
make up bis losses. Ko that, a i tliiuirs considered,

Butler was (queer coincidence wasn't it?) But of
course toere is no such j erson oh, no "not lor no

but not probahle. Qui e naturally I look, and so

stage, within a few feet ot the brick wall that sepa
rated tbe dressing-rooms irom the coulisses. They
were identified by the India rubber coat the de
ctased wore at the time of his duaih, aud by the
underoiothmg. When extrioated irom the detri
only the trunk could bo recovered, so calcined was
the entire mass. A stump of one a m protruded from
the ghastly and blackened body oi tun unfortunate
but beroie fireman. It was evident, irom the posi
tion of the remains, that the deceased were endea
voring to escape by the door near which they wore
loind.
T he body ot tbe foreman, David B. Walters, was
almost entirely consumed, the little remnant of the
remains being found In the centre of tho stage. Bo
little remained of the unfortunate man, tliat heoou d

Jetr Dftvln' Trial.
George Slica, Esq., of New York, who has
been here for the past week attending to the
preliminaries in behalf of the defence of the
prreat State prisoner, left to day en rortte for
Fortress Monroe. Tho benefit of counsel ha'
now been permitted to the accused, and it really
beciii8 to look as if a few week will bring on
tho grand trial of the age.
It is understood that a new indictment against
Jeircrson Davis has been drawn up in tue At-tornoy-General's
office since Mr. Speed's return,
and that Underwood's indictment will be with
drawn and tho new one substituted.
Irfrxlcan 9fAttr.
It is understood thnt the President expressed
to Mr. Campbell yesterday his earnest dtsire
that he would be careful not to allow himclf to
be Influenced by any Mexicans no v in the United
Suites, and not allow himself to be mixed up iu
any new scheme for the liberation of Mexico.
The President also repealed his determination to
preserve the most absolute neutrabty towards
Mexico, so as to afford no pretext for delay in
withdrawing the French troops. Tho President
does not wish Mr. Campbell to go to Mexico at
present.
The rancor ot the Mexican legation hero
towards Santa Anna leads them to circulate the
charge against him that he Is here In tlio in
terest of Maximilian. But Santa Anna's Irlends
in Concress, who understand the object ol his
vis t here, are working quietly and eilecitvely in
his interest.
An Appointee.
Judge Hughes, who is appointed Cotton
Agent for the Treasury Department, vice Mellon,
removed, is from Indiana: Is of the firm ot
Hughes, Denver & Co., Claim Agents, of this
citv, and recently figured iu Court as the friend
and counsel of Mrs. Cobb, the female pardon
broker, whose trade General Baker, tho detec
tive, so suddenly broke up, with tho approval ot
the Supreme Court.
Mr. CaupbeU's IontrnctlonH.
The State Department is engaged In preparing
tte Instructions to Mr. Campbell, our Minister
to Mexico. They will not be completed, how
ever, until the return of Mr. 8eward, who Is
understood to be opp.ifed to giving any decided
aid to the Liberal cause. The principal reason
why General Loean refused to accept the mis
sion wns, that Mr. Seward would not permit
him to uso his position as Minister In favor of
the Liberal party.
