STATEMENT OF AN EYE-WITNESS. , We have received from Solomon W. Roberts, Esq., the following statement concerning the beginning of the con flagration: "At twelve minutes before live o'clock beet evening I went into the building of the Commercial Exchange and it wan then nearly dark in the lower hail. I named up the curved etairway to the right, and wont into the first office:war tho head of the Melee, on the south side of the building. The door of thie office was opposite to the ro tunda, and I left the door open. At this time no signs of fire appeared. I had been lu the office about six minutes when I heard loud noises in rapid succession which sounded us If two persons were firing revolvers in the large hall of the second story. There appeared to me to be a series of small explosions. In about a minute I saw through the open doer a shower of fire and of broken glass, which appeared to be falling from the skylight of the dome. On reaching the street I saw flames bursting :through the roof, and a few minutes after the first alarm I felt sure that no efforts could save tins combustible parts of the building. "S. W.
