PHILADELl'IljjATURDAYy DECEMBER 29, 1866. Large Fi be Loss about $75,000 Partially Covrrbd bt Inbubakob. This morn ing, about half-past 3 o'clock, a fire was dis covered In the large three-story brick building owned by Mr. E. Ivins, on North Sixth atrept, above Columbia avenue. The firemen were soon on band, and went diligently to work to otide the flames, but the dense black smoke arising from tbe burning of the wool, cotton, etc., con tained in the building, soon drove them back. This circumstance was tho cause of the great loss sustained in the stock, which, if it had not been certain hu (locution for any one to eut?r the building, could have been saved. The fire originated near the chimney-atack, around which lay waste matter which had been accumulating there for some time, but whether the fire origi nated in this waste or not, is not known. The building, notwithstanding the strenuous exertions of the firemen to save it, wns com pletely destroyed, with all its contents. Nothing was rescued from the devouring eloment, and all that remains are the walls, large portions of which have fallen in, and tho rest must be torn down. The loss sustained by the parties doing business iu the building is largo, and but par tially covered by insurance, the particulars of which are as follows: E. Ivins, manufacturer of brass and gilded mountiugs lor military equipments, loss on buildlnc, of which he was the owner, machi nery, and goods, estimated at $35,000 insured for $15,000. William Bcoles, woollen yarn manufacturer, loss on machinery, $8000; ou stock, $i0U0 in sured tor $6000. John J. Glazier, hosiery manufacturer, loss on machinery and stock, $18,000 insured for $1060. Sliflcr & Mattis, loss on machinery, $3500 no Insurance. Isaac Stead, woollen spinner, loss on machi nery and stock. $13,000 insured for $11,000. The building fronting om Sixth street, owned by Baeder & Adumson, glue manufacturers, was damaged by falling walls aud water to the amount of $3000 fully covered. The surrounding properties were fortunately saved, with slight damage. The building was situated right in the midst or the large glue factories. Some of these took fire, but the fire men saved them. A short distance off from the burning building, a large house, used for the storage of all kinds of old machinery, was partially destroyed. The mule stable of Messrs. Baeder & Adamson, containing twenty mules, also took fire. The mules and harness were rescued, and the buildiug saved. The fences in the vicinity took fire, as did a row of small tenement-houses on Columbia avenue, between Fifth and Sixth streets. They were saved. The fire was dis covered by James Wilson, a watchman em ployed by Messrs. Baeder 4 Adamson, who smelt smoke, and had been hunting lor the fire for an hour before he discovered it. He says the odor was strong, like burning oil waste. The Lutheban Bubial Ground Latest Facts in Reference to the Parties. More facts in relation to the past action of the Church Council have been elicited by evidence, both vtrbul and documentary. In tho petitions and prayers offered to the Legislature and Courts, one of tbe argument's, in fact the main one, set forth by those desiring tho immediate disposal of the cemetery for building purposes, was the redemption of the church debt. This debt was sta'ed to be ot so large an amount that tbe pros perity of the church' necessitated its immediate payment, which could only be done by the dis posal ol the property. Now, evidence is brought to light that tbe debt was made to appear much larger than its true amount, and this is plainly evinced in the petitions otferid to our legislative body and Court?. Why this has been done can only be answered by inferring that either the books of the corporation were in a confused state of keeping, or that it was inten tional, to give force to the petitions. Documentary evidence show that, in the fall ot 1864, belore the properly appointed officer, $33jOOO was swora . too as the pxaot .cbt. ihe Couuc'l, hi their petition t ! Legislature in February, 1866, stared tt to be $48,000; and in. their petition to the Court, in the same year, the amount was $G0,000. In March, 1860, the book-keeper, giving evidence belore the Examiner, stated the debt to be $65,000, which, on cros-examination, was re duced to $61,000. Contusion in the book ac counts must reign supreme, or there must indeed be lari;e business transactions, in order to cause this great fluctuation in the church's indebted ness within the Rpace of one year. Eveu taking it for granled that the debt is tbe largest of the given amounts, the income accruing from the cburcb property of all kinds would redeem the debt in a very short time. Tbe annual Income reaches about $10,000; that of last year, accord ing to the book-keeper's report, signed by the church committee, greatly exceeds that sum. Tbe opposition party are energetic in collating all the evidence and facts attainable to support their position. Every Thursday utternoon, at the Wetherill House, Sansom street, examina tions are held. The evidence Is becoming volu minous. At the last examination persons were in attendance from the surrounding villages, to put in their pleas against the sale, well sup ported with facts bearing strongly upon the non- disposai oi tne cemetery.

The weathor of last evening was a decidedly welcome improvement upon that ot the preceding evenine, a cnange which no doubt greeted all our citizens in an acceptable manner. The wind, although not equal in force and coldness to that of Thursday nlpht, tended to clear the streets of their usual number of occupants. It came in sudden gusts, disagreeablyibuileting tbos iwho were peiambu latlug around tbe city. Ibis morning the air be came more mild, and we had a cheering ray of suushine to gladden the heart and warm the body. A few flakes of snow were seen, but whether or not we are to have a sufficient quan tity for the winter enjoyment of sleighing does not yet appear, and remain for patient people to see.

After partaking of some refreshments, an invitation from Chief F-npineer Little, of South Danvers, to visit the Peabody Institute and the steamer General Sutton, was accepted.

After registering their names ou the book kept for thut purpose, they examined the steamer, and loit for Salem, leaving one ot their cards with Chief Engineer Little.
