shortly after two o’clock, a fire broke out in
an old-fashioned three-storied brick bulld
ing, No. 134 Dock street. The structure was
occupied partly by Abraham Anderson,
manufacturer of refrigerators, and partly
by Charles Pharazyn, cabinet-maker. The
building was filled with combustible mate
rial. The flames originated in the upper
part, and spread rapidly through the entire
structure.
The firemen were soon on the ground, and
turned out in large numbers, but the con
flagration raged fiercely, causing a bright
light, and shooting myriads of sparks high
into the air.
The flames soon communicated to the
buildings adjoining on both sides. These
were likewise filled with combustible ma
terial, and shared the same fate.
All three buildings were gutted, and the
contents were almost entirely destroyed.

finished articles and a considerable quan
tity of raw material on hand.

O’Toqhill shut the door. Stones were then
thrown through the window and the door
was pushed open. O’Toohill was standing
just inside with a pistol in his hand. As a
rush was made through the door he fired.

Bcciftloji or the New French Sinister by
. U»e President.
The Marquis de Montholon, the retiring
French Minister, and the newly accredited
minister, M, Berthemy, were presented to
the President by the Secretary of State at
4 o’clock yesterday afternoon. The leave
taking of the Marquis de Montholon, with
the answer of the President to him, were of
the kindest character. '
Mr. Berthemy made the following address
to the President, 6
Mr. President —l have the honor to place
m your hands the letters-which accredit me
m the quality of Envoy Extraordinary and
Minister Plenipotentiary of his Majesty the
Emperor ofthePiench, JiLconfiding to
the mission to represent him near voo. my
sovereign has specially charged me to make
known to you, the value he attaches to the
relations of friendship which exist between
France and the United States of America,
to maintain these relations, to draw them
more closely, if possible, in view of the de
velopments of interests, common to the
two countries. Such will be the constant
aim of my efforts, and I have firm hope to
attain it, if, as I am in advance-assured, the
government and people of the United States
share in the sentiments of which I bring to
this place sincere expressions. -
The following is the President’s reply to
Mr. Berthemy:
Sir—Grateful affection toward the French
nation is among the earliest, the most pro
found and the most enduring sentiments of
the people and the government of the United
States. We constantly try to believe that no
interest of either country requires aliena
tions or antagonisms between them. While
intimate commercial interests tend to bind
them together.as you have justly observed,
they have at the same time a common inter
est in the advancement of civilization and
humanity throughout the world. In ex
pressing these feelings I am only repeating
what has been uniformly said,by the United
States since they became sovereign. We
have had much reason to be pleased with
the conduct of your predecessor, the Mar
quis de Montholon. Be assured, M. Ber
themy, that no consideration, or courtesy,
will be withheld, which shall tend to make
the performance of your duties agreeable
and pleasant.
The retiring French Minister and his suc
cessor dined with the Secretary of State last
night.
Sinking of a Stbamek.— Saturday morn
ing-, at four o’clock, the stem wheel steamer
Argonaut No. 2, just after leaving the New
Albany (Indiana) wharf, where she had
discharged a lot of clay for the glass works,
struck the ledge of slate rook, and almost
immediately sunk. She was attempting to
run through a fog, and had made but a few
revolutions ahead when she struck heavily
the stern sinking in about ftfteeh feet water’
She lies alongside the bank, close to shore,
with the water up to her boiler deck for
ward, and the water on her cabin floor aft.
She had some fifteen cabin and twenty deck
passengers, all of whom were saved unhurt,
together with their baggage. The engineer
was working her slowly at the time; but
Being laden with iron, her bow was crushed
on the instant of contact with the slate shelf
or reef. The Argonaut No. 2 was on her
way to Cincinnati and Pittsburgh, from St.
Louis. She entered protest at Louisville,
The boat-was valued at §20,000, and was
insured for §lO,OOO. The Underwriter,
which has just finished with the Emperor!
will probably raise her in a day or two!
The bow of the Argonaut is spread open,
but she is otherwise unhurt, and a bulkhead
can very soon be built, so that she can be
pumped out. AH of her cargo, except some
whisky and iron, will prove a total loss.
