FIRE Ap) ACCIDENT.—This morning, about half-past seven o'clock, a fire occurred in the cotton, waste storehouse of F. Lodge, Jr. & Co., No. 35 North Front street. The building is a large one, extending through to Water street, and belongs to the -estate of Thomas Earp. It was but slightly damaged, , and the loss is covered by insurance. The stock of Lodge & Co. was considerably damaged by water, in consequence of the flames having worked their way among the bales of cotton waste. Thtre is an insurance of $2,000 in the Royal, upon the stock, which will more than cover the loss. The fire originated accidentally, and was caused by the strong northeast wind blowing sparks and flames out of the stove while a young woman was engaged in building a tire. In the basethent of No. 36 Water street, Messrs. Fitler, Weaver & Co., rope makers, bad a quantity of Manilla• hemp stored. This suffered somewhat by water. The loss is fully -insured. A collission between the. steamers of the Washington and. Southwark Engine Companies occurred at Third and Chestnut streets. The former was- proceeding down Chestnut street and the latter up Third street, and the collision was unavoidable. The.driver of the Washing ton engine, George Bobb, was thrown off and the wheels passed over his hips. He was so badly injured that his recovery is considered. doubtful. The sufferer was conveyed to the Pennsylvania Hospital. FIRE MAILSEIA.L.—The important services of Mr. Alex. W. Blackburn, who has been Acting Fire Marshal for years past have at last received a proper recognition. During the administra tion of Mayor Vaux, Mr. Blackburn who was High Constable, Acting Detective, was de ailed for the investigation of the causes of fire. At that time incendiansm was rampant in the city. Though the labors of Mr: Blackburn were considerably increased, without the slightest advance of pay; he discharged his du ties with great energy and perseverance, and. pursued the incendiaries with an unrelentless hand until now a fire caused by design is scarcely heard of. Several efforts have been made to establish the office of Fire Marshal, and within a week or two the movements have been. City. Councils promptly passed a bill to that effect and the Mayor at once appointed Mr. Blackburn to the position he has so acceptably filled. The appointment was unanimously conferred by Select Council on Thursday last, without the formality of a reference to a Committee, and after several members had made a few remarks compli mentary to Mr. Blackburn.

Seßnco Coxracnoss.—At this season of the year there is nothing more inviting and delis ous to the appetite than a box of those rare confections manufactured by Mr. Stephen F.

The great Irish National Fair, for which thei Fenian Brotherhood have spent severalmontha in making the necessary preparations, was for opened at Chicago, on, Monday.' The procession of the morning`broken up by the rain was partially formed in the afternoon. The Light Guhrd band visited the Fenian Hall and brought down the members of the organi zation to the Tremont House, where were in waiting Lieut. Gov. Hoffman, the members of the Polish Committee and several members of the Common Council and Board of Editeation. Carriages were in waiting which theY entered and passed in procession around the principal streets to the Court House Square where a large crowd had already gathered., At 3 o'clock. the Brotherhood marched along the square. to the South entrance, where the assemblage was addressed at length by Lieutenant Governor Hoffman. After listening to a speech from Hon. Jobs 'Wentworth the assembly retired to a substan tial repast provided for the occasion. Ample justice having been done to the viands, the Chairman, P. T. Sherlock, an nounced as the first and only regular toast= “The d land we live in." .The band now played the Marsellaise ' after which the Chairman announced the volunteer toast—cg The President of the 'United States, in. his past and present, a fit illustration of Ameri can institutions." It was responded to by Judge Van Buren, who indorsed fully the idea that in 31r. Lincoln's career we had one of the very best illustrations of the' excellence of 'our institutions. He would pay not a compliment, but a just tribute to,the valor and patriotism of the foreign element, who had done much to aid the Government in suppressing the rebellion, for wliich no one ventured to claim there was any excuse. Bryan Hall, in which the fair was held, wag decorated with numerous flags - and banners. At equidistantipoints around the gallery were neatly ornamented brackets bearing busts of Lincoln, Douglas, Webster and Scott. In the centre of the Hall was an hexagonal tower, having a tall flagstaff running'through the centre. From this staff ran two wires, one to the gallery, the other to the stage, on which, were hung a large number of American and Irish flags. At the base of the tower were six tables devoted to good, from Si.Lonis; Boston, Washington, Troy,moi l ork and Canada. - Among the various conributions were a full length portrait of Pope Pius IX, a model'of Cashel Rock, carved in slate and painted, both from Philadelphia; a gold-mounted repeating rifle from the Irish Brigade, ,and a large safe from Herring & Co. THE ATTACK ON PADIWAR. A despatch from the correspondent of the Chicago Tribune says: I was in Paducah yes terday, and while there gathered some interest ing incidents of the rebel raid on that city. The press desjoatches do not give a correct state ment ofjhe force. In the fort there were about two hundred and fifty. recruits for st - United States colored regiment, a portion of the 16th Kentucky cavalry, - without arms, and two companies of the 122 d Illinois infantry, in all about five hundred men. It was the negro- regulars that fought so well. 'They handled the artillery with great skill and their bravery is on -the tongues of alrthe loyal men. One 'of the regi ments in the attack on the fort was the 3d Kentucky, Col. Thompson, who commanded a brigade. This regiment was raised in Paducah, three years ago, by Col. Tilghman, afterwards Brigadier-General, and Col. Thompson, who was at the time prosecuting attorney for the _Paducah circuit. Col. Thompson was a man of greal influence, and did more than any one else in recruiting the-regiment from that chivalry. This was its first visit home. Before the at tack was made threats were freely made in the streets that they would capture the fort and kill every nigger-in it. In theattatk, this regiment was in the ad vance and suffered the most. Col. Thompson was literally torn in pieces .by'a shot from a siege gun handled by colored men. These colored men were native Kentuckians; and seven of them have offered up their lives for their country. THE HORRORS OF Luiv.--Capt. E. A. Mass, of the BSth Pennsylvania regiment, writes as follows to the Reading Times Independent of - starvation we have been subjected to all , common indignities. The windows of the prison are barred with iron so' close together that a man can not possibly get his heal out, and yet the guard is instructed to fire on all officers looking out at the windows. I On Sunday last Lieut. Morgan - Kupp made a very narrow escape of his life. The guard fired at an officer standing near one of the windows, and a buckshot entered the lower part of the cheek of Kupp,..passed up just under the kin and out at the forehead. The ball struck.one of the iron bars, and fine slivers cut his face is as many places. Fortunately it hurt him but very little. A week ago Lieut. Hammond was shot through the ear. Every trace boat takes to Richmond from twenty to forty tons of boxes for our prisoners, and yet but about seventy boxes have been delivered in the past three months, and these have had all the sugar and coffee stolen out, and had been kept on hand so long that what was left in boxes was coated with an inch of mould, and consequently everything spoiled. One box belonging to Lieut. Frank Moran, 73d N. Y. V., actually contained nothing but a tis plate and fork, and yet they had the audacity to compel him, to sign a receipt that his box bad been delivered. A large warehouse oppo site the Libby contains to-day at least twelve hundred, boxes that are being robbed daily, and what the rebs do not want may be de livered when all is spoiled. On the 9th of February 110 officers made their escape from prison; fifty were recaptured, among whom was Capt. E. L. Smith, 19th U. S. I.; he was out seven days, and suffered very much from cold and hunger, was confined ten days in a dungeoa on hi return, but is well and in good spirits. • Axes.—An axe factory in lilassachusetf, uses twelve htuadvid tons of iron a year, about one-half of which is imported, and two hun dred and fifty tons of cast steel, much of which is procured from tho works at Fitchburg. Its forges consume eighteen hundred tons of cote a year.
