The Fire at Washington. We mentioned in part of our edition last week that the Congressional Library in the Capitol at Washington had been partly destroyed by fire on Wednesday morning, December 24th. It is not known how the fire originated, as neither fire nor lights are permitted to be used in it. The room is wanned by fiues, and it is supposed it caught from these. Of the loss sus tained, the National Intelligencer speaks as lollows: We have stated above that about thirty five thousand volumes ot books were de stroyed; this is the estimate from the sup posed number saved, which is twenty thousand, the original contents of the Li brary being about fifty-five thousand vol umes in all.—The contents of the prin cipal hall were consumed, the north room and Law Library not having been visited bv the fire, owing to the thickness of the intervening walls. Besides the books, a number of superior paintings, hanging around the Library walls and between the alcoves, were included in the destruction. Of these we can call to mind Stuart's paintings of the lirst five Presidents; an original portrait of Columbus; a second portrait of Columbus; an original por trait of Peyton Randolph; a portrait of Bolivar ; a portrait of Baron Steuben by Pvne, an English artist of merit; one of Baron De Kalb ; one of Cortez; and one of Judge Hanson, of Maryland, presen ted to the Library by bis family. Be tween eleven and twelve hundred bronze medals of the Yattemare exchange, some of them more than ten centuries old, and exceedingly perfect, are amongst the valua bles destroyed. Of the statuary burnt and rendered worthless, we recollect a statue of Jefferson; an Apollo in bronze, by Mills; a very superior bronze likeness of Washington; a bust of Gen. Taylor by an Italian artist : and a bust of Lafay ette by David. We have only heard of three books saved from the Principal Library, namely, the Librarian's Register, an account book, and un odd volume of Lord Kingsbury's mag nificent work on the Antiquities of Mex ico. We must say that we consider the system adopted by the Government for the protection of the public buildings and property as essentially defective, as the various conflagrations that have taken place—first of the War Oflice building, next this very Library part of the Capitol in 1826, then of the Treasury building, next of the General Post Office edifice, and now the Congressional Library again —must prove. The Washington Southern Press, spea king of the lire, says; The extent of the loss inflicted by this disastrous fire it is impossible to even es timate. iSince the act of Omar, no single lire has wrought such destruction o! articles impossible to be replaced.—The cost of the books is estimated at about a quarter of a million of dollars; the dam age to the building must also be consider able ; but the great loss is in the destruc tion of the collection of rare and valuable works, M.MS. and others—works which no expenditure of money, no toil, nor en ergy, can possibly again restore. .Such a loss may well be regarded in the light of a general calamity ; and the labors of the student, the researches of the w riter, and the verification of facts by the politician, will all be retarded and prevented hence forth by this sweeping destruction ol the authorities which could alone he found in that collection. The loss is not a local but a general one ; and over this funeral pyre of so much learning every educated man and the coun try will mourn. There are some things which cannot be replaced, nor substitutes found, and emphatically such were the collections which had accumulated in that Library since its foundation. FIRE IN NEW YORK. From the New York Courier, December 27 EXTENSIVE FlßE— This morning about a quar ter to six o'clock, the Chair manufactory ot Mr. Buhler, No. 15 Bowery, was discovered to be on lire, and the alarm being given, quickly brought the fire department to the premises, but owing to the hydrants being firmly Irozen, it was some t.me before water could be Drought into re ijuisition, and the delay thus occasioned resulted in serious loss of property. The buildings on the Bowery, Nos, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, and 15*, were destroyed. On Division street, the iinall brick buildings occupied as shops and dwellings Nos. 12, 11, 16, IS, 26. 22, 24, 26, 28, JO, and 34, were also consumed, but most ol then contents were saved by the Police and t ire men. —The buildings destroyed on the Bowery were occupied as furniture, feather, and taricy stores. We could not obtain an accurate ac count of the loss.es owing to the compression about the ruins, this forenoon. The Mechanics' institute was damaged to the extent of about SBOO. This building is situated oil the corner of Division street and the Bowery.—The entire loss will probably reach SISO,UOU or $200,000, which is partially insured. FIRE AT BUFFALO, NEW YORK. BUFFAI O, Dec. 27.—Spalding's Exchange block, mostly occupied by lawyers; Erie Hall block, the bank of Attica, and Ike Hank oT Lake Erie, with fifteen spacious stores on Mam sheet, opposite the Mansion House, were destroyed by lire at 1 o'clock this morning. Also, three elegant dwellings on Swan street. The Hank 01 Lake Erie got out nothing ; their books, papers, and coin in the vault are safe. 1 he. Hank of Attica lost almost everything valuable. Ihe contents of the law library were entirely des troyed. Judge Stevens lost his entire library and all of his papers. Judges Maston and Walker lost every paper. The total loss is : roughly estimated at $200,(M1, on which there is about §IOO,OOO insurance. Four men were injured by the falling of the burnt walls, one ot whom belonging to the tire department, was severely burnt. i FIRES AT PHILADELPIFA. PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 27.—Otic of the most distructive fires that has ever visited our city, I occurred early this morning. About 1 o'clock tlames were seen issuing from Hart's building, at the corner of Chesnut and Sixth streets, which was speedily destroyed, together with several Hook and Music stores, and Harper's Restaurant in the basement; the fiames next communicated to the Shakespeare Building, on j the opposite side of Sixth street, adjoining the ! Chestnut Street Theatre, which was totally consumed. Brown's Hotel on Chestnut street ad | joining Hart's building shared the same fate. About 3 o'clock the wall of Hart's Bunding fell into Hie street, instantly killing two colored men and severely wounding several firemen and policemen ; many others are supposed to have been killed, as at the time the wall fell the street was crowded with spectators.—The entire block on the West side of Sixth street, from Chestnut to Carpenter streets, is a heap of ruins. On the East side of Sixth street and North side of Chestnut street, Hart's building, Brown's Hotel, Johnston's Law Book Store and several other valuable stores are completely destroyed.—Many other buildings on both sides of Sixth street are damaged, and the loss can not be less than $290,000. The fire was not subdued until 9 o'clock this morning. The heaviest losses are, Dr. Schenck, whose estab lishment was completely destroyed ; T. & J. W. Johnston, Law Booksellers, 11. Blackiston, and Getz iV Buck, Booksellers. Many music, periodica! and other stores on Sixth street also suffered severely. PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 28th.—Workmen have been busy all day in removing the rubbish from the scene of the late fire at the corner of Sixth and Chestnut streets. The body of Mr. Haley has not yet been found. Win. iiaker, of the Mayor's Police, Jesse Pyle, and Jas. Cook, of the Morris Hose Co., are missing. It is feared that others are under the ruins. [lt has since been ascertained that the two colored men. Baker, one of the night police, and W. W. Haley, a lawyer, were the only persons killed. The latter was formerly a member of the State Legislature.] DESTRUCTION OT B AKNL'.MS MI'SH M. The year closes disastrously with respect to fires. The elegant structure, known as Bar nurn's Museum, at the southeast corner of Chest nut and Seventh streets, Philadelphia, was on Tuesday evening entirely destroyed by fire. It broke out about five o'clock in the afternoon, in the upper part of the Museum, which was de voted to theatrical exhibitions. The tlames spread rapidly through the upper portion of the establishment, and scarcely had the alarm been sounded by the State-House bell, than they were observed issuing from the venti lator in the roof. The firemen were very early at the scene of the conflagration, hut owing to the fire originating in the lecture room, which was on the third floor, their efforts to save it were at once known to be unavailing. In a very short space of time, the fourth and fifth stories were on lira throughout, and soon after the upper portion was enveloped in a sheet of flame —pouring, as it did, from ail the windows and apertures in the roof, the scene was one of ter rific grandeur Downwards the tire spread quite fast, and in half an hour it reached the Museum, on the second floor, which contained a large collection of curiosities, probably one of the best in the country, stuffed animals, birds and paintings—a large portion of the re mains of what was once known as Peale's Mu seum. These were mostly of a combustible character. The stores on the first floor, were occupied by G. 11. Henderson & Co., booksel lers ; Lee & Walker and Edward L. Walker, music dealers and publishers. The principal contents of these stores were saved. Trie ef forts of the firemen w ere principally directed to the surrounding properties, which, of course, were in imminent danger of destruction. The dwelling adjoining, east, owned and oc cupied by J. Francis Fisher, was on fire at one time; his doss in furniture, by water, (which was thrown on his house copiously, to prevent the spread of the fire,) is estimated at S3OOO. There was a small insurance on the home, but none on the furniture. The Columbia House, opposite, was twice on fire, but the destructive element was promptly quenched. The Messrs. Ferguson suppose their loss will reach $2500 — insured. The Museum building was valupd at $60,000, on which there is an insurance of $30,000, divid ed among several offices. The loss of Mr. Spooner, the proprietor of the .Museum, is about $50,000 —insured for $30,000. The Mar linetti Family lose all their properties arid para phernalia, which falls heavily upon them, and nearly every person connected with the estab lishment loses more, or less. Close of the Year.
