The fire originated over the boiler in the Museum. NEW YORE, July I°. M.—The flames were stopped at the buildings No. 18 Arai street and No. 147 Fulton street. The property interve ning on Broadway and Fulton streets was de stroyed. Six buildings were burned on Broadway, eight on Ann street, and five on Fulton street. The heat was so intense that the front of St. Faul's Church, opposite the Museum, took fire, but the firemen fortunately saved it frvm the flames. Among the sufrerersbythe fire were Thomas A. Brainsted, Metzinger, W. Richardson; Bass• ford, Brosnan, 85 Duane; T. Wright, J. D. Phil. lips, flattrey 85 Ford, Slater & Riley, S. Brad ford, James B. Thompson, P. Hamilton, Sterns n t Beale, and Mr. Swift. Nottind but the glass steam engine was saved in the Museum. NEWSPAPER ACCOUNTS We condense the following from the eyening edition of the Tribune and the latest editions of the N. Y. Evening EsTress and Post: At half-past twelve o'clock yesterday after noon, lire was diseovered in Barnum's Mu seum, New York, originating in the baSentent in ATM street, at the corner of the building occupied by Groot's restaurant. In about two minutes the flames burst out in Jones' shoe store, Nos. 10 and 12 Ann street, with every in dication of an extensive conflagration. The fire companies were immediately on the ground and promptly set to work with appa rent success ; but the cm eke was blinding, and for some minutes the whole Museum building was completely out of sight. At a quarter to one o'clock the flames burst out in the second story of the Museum, just over the restaurant, and spread with amazing rapidity, fed by the light and cOmbustible pictorial. In a moment the fire mounted to the third story, and at forty minutes past twelve burst Oet of every window on the Aim street side Of the Museum. It gave way apparently on the two lower floors, but raged furiously in the two upper stories. Part of the roof fell in fire minutes later, and the neighboring buildings on Ann street were attacked. The firemen rallied in great force, but the flames were fanned by a strong breeze, which swept them over the roofs of the adjoining buildings on Broadway, and in a few minutes the fire had gained a hold in the three upper stories of No. 214 Broadway. This building was occupied b Rogers & Raymond, clothiers, and by the hard saloon of Wallace & Reeves. It was entirely destroyed. From the Museum the flames communicated with No. 12 Ann street, occupied by Jones & Kennard, dealers in boots and shoes; G. Swift, bookbinder; Groot's restaurant; and Nolan's sample-room. This building was consumed at half-past one o'clock. 27;0.14 ATM street, occupied by John Ross, and others, was nearly destroyed at two r. K. The flames extended to No. iii, occupied by John Byrne, tailor, on the first door. The upper floors were occupied as dwellings and printing offices. At 2 o'clock the upper floors were in flames, and were extending downward. The roof of No. 18 Ann street, occupied by French Wheat, printers, and Dick & Fitzge rald, publishers, caught fire. No. 216 Broadway, occupied by G. W. White, batter, on the first floor ; and Yen Name's sa loon, in the basement, was totally destroyed. No. 214, oecupted by Rogers Raymond, clothiers, was also consume_, At half-past one o'clock, No. 212 Broadway in , occupied the basement as the "Live and Let Live Saloon," and on the first floor by Knox. the hatter, was on fire °lithe upper floor. B. 14. Horn, manufacturer of opera-glasses, the American ArZizan office, and Brown, Combs, & Co., solicitors of patents, occupied the upper floors. The flames Were stopped at No.lB Ann street and at NO. 147 Fulton street. The property between those buildings and Broadway, and that fronting on Broadway between Fulton and Ann streets, bas been entirely consumed. Only the walls of Knox's building, remain standing : The buddingsldestroyed were as follows: On Broadwag—Nos.2l2, 211, 218,221) and OA Ann. street—ST.:2, 4 , ti, 8,1 . 0,12;1 1 1, it,nd 16. On Fulton strcet—Noi. 151;15i, and 155. ~ r ,. e r ~ The names burnt fiercely. At one o'clock it became evident that St. Paul's Church, oppo site the Museum, was in imminent peril. The flames at that hour burst out simultaneously from all the windows of the Musenm with such force and volume, that they soon promised to spread across the comparatively narrow space whin divides the church - from the Museum. A portion of the front of the, church became scorched, and the columns anti - porticoes cracked and threatened to sever. The beau- WM marble statue of St. Paul, in the niche above the pillars, seemed to become black with the smoke and fire, and in order to save the building, several vigorous streams were thrown upon it for hours. These efforts spared a building older than the Revolution from des truction. At half-paSt one o'clock a cry burst from the concourse which stood inthe square on Fulton and Yesey streets, that a woman was being saved from the lire. Curiosity was on tip-too to discover the lady, and behold the operation by which she was saved from a terrible death. The crowd did not have to wait long to wit ness the coveted scene of sacrifice - and gal lantry, for a lady, attired in pink dress, was handed down from story to story by parties inside. The form wavered to and fro, as if in a faint, and the assemblage became more and more interested in her fate. As it was lower ed, loud cheers arose from the multitude, who rushed, despite the efforts of the pollee, to see the woman. They were, however, doomed to dsappointment, for the woman proved to be one of the valuable wax figures which stood near the well-known form of Daniel Lambert,. the giant, and the somewhat baby-face of Lord Byron: The involuntary deception created great merriment amon„ ,, the people. The flames soon began to make the whales uncomfortable in their glass cases, in the last story, which cracked and fell in pieces from the heat, and let them out only to expire in a sea of fire. A tank full of serpents was re leased in the same manner, and they fell writh ing upon the floor, and sonic of them crept to the balcony and fell into the street, causing great alarm and a rush in the crowd below in; Which seine twelve or fifteen persons were badly braised. The notorious "Happy Fami.= composed of monkeys, rabbits; cats, rats, snakes, fowls, and other animals and reptiles, suddenly found their happiness cut. hort, and many of them, like Elijah of old, passed from earth in a chariot of fire. Others escaped from the devouring element, and appeared like the homeless rebels, wandering disconsolately in Broadway and Nassau street. AN EXPLOSION AND A PANIC About this time an escape of steam, resem bling an explosion in its Mori:001110d the assem bled mass with terror, tluiyevidently thinking that an explosion had occurred in the Museum. instantly there was a rush and crush for the Park and adjacent streets. Had a regiment of artillery opened with grape and shrapnell upon the people more excitement could not have ensued. "An explosion! an explosion P , ' 4 Rim, run !+' were the exclamations which escaped from ten lb ontsand iremblin. , voices. The jam Was awful. Women, children add not a few Men were trampled under foot. Many firemen 5 were seized with the general panic but soon returned to their post of danger. We notiecd numbers of children limp away,. evidently hurt, and several had to be carried on for Medical assistance. The loss of hats and caps was great. Beavers were lying by the hundred all over the street pavement, but their owners could not identify them, as they were either torn to pieces, ruined by the mud, or on the Beads ox the boys, some of whom wore at least a dozen at a time. MIME= at thiy moment wiv; fearfully grand. Vast volumes of smoke poured out of the windOWS on the Broad way and Ann-street fronts of the Museum Oruge tongues of flame rose from the middle of the building, and smaller darts of the caught the transparencies and signs of Jeff Davis in crinoline,- a great whale, etc. ; three floors of the building No. 214 Broadway were a mass of light flame; firemen and pro perly-owners were springing up and dowa ladders to remove such portable articles as (-mad be intssed out ; a tremendous crowd tilled the Pea; the west side of Broadway, yeses street, Barclay street, and every other place which commanded a view of the scene; while twenty steam and hand fire-engines poured incessant streams of water upon. the Miming mass. As the flames gained strength and volume, the heat became intense, forcing back the crowd, but subjecting the firemen to severe suffering. The walls Of the Museum began to fall piece meal, at about twenty minutes to two, the wall nearest to Knox fell with a terrine crash, and in a few nlinuteA the main walls at the intersection of Broadway and. Anil, street, aye way and were precipitated Into the street. Unfortunately, several .persons were injured by the falling debris. Owing to the confusion, their names could not be ascer tained. Assistance was sent for from the up per districts, and at about two o'clock several powerful steamers arrived at the conflagra tion, and wore set to work on the burning premises, in addition to the steamers already employed. This aided the firemen materially to obtain control of the flames. The flames, however. continued to burn stubbornly, ex tending from house to house, on all sides— threatening, at one time, the offices of the („t.Trt r z e te . na- T twr i t i l e al,l af fl uo r d, c e m lcoo e enk tt . t w H u r e e o;u a g g d o l t t i r n ' a c m e fi e f s t r i l a 3„ fined to the space mentioned in the first part of our condensation. At 4 o'clock a dark mist of vaporand smoke, mingled occasionally with flashes of fire, marked the site where Bur num's 'Museum stood at noon. The streets were covered with the debris of the ztins, and vigorous streams wore 'Rayed on the walls and the scattered bulwark of the building. The leaves on the trees in the churchyard present ed the withered appearance which marks them in the fall, owing to the fire. TM:blocks extending in a direct and square line from the Museum to the parallel buildings in Fulton street presented a mass of clilaintigteit build ings •r•the walls alone remaining to show their character. Now and' then the terrific sounds of tottering walls were heard, and the people in the street, warned by the alarm, would rush to some place of safety. Although a large number of police were on the ground, ninny robberies took place,because at least - fifty thousand people were about. The - perpetrators were in several instances caught. Hats and caps from KtIOX'FI store seemed to be the chief objects, although every other /110titable article was a favorite. .G.E.. - xt.l AND INVIDENTS. Among the hundreds of incidents Of the eondagration, a few were of great interest. One fireman was seen emerging from the building with a stuffed owl in his hands. Another fastened on one of the wax figures. Several other curiosities have been saved, and will doubtless be restored to Mr. Barnum. Jeff Dayle's petticoats (7) Fere seen hanging on a lamp-post iu Fulton brreet, soon after the fire broke out. The familiarity of the people with the Mu seum was amply represented by the multitude who witnessed its rapid destruction. As the flames spread from room to room, and story to story, some of the more prominent antiques and animals in each floor were referred to by the habitueS of the Museum, and their loss was the subject of comment and discussion. When the fire reached the last story, one man exclaimed, "There goes the llappifFamily," and soon after the names marked the spot where the poor animals last night delighted a large and admiring audience. Owing to the rapid progress of the fire, great haste was required. in removing anything. Ac cordingly portions of dramatic wardrobes, which had lmen used in "Camille," and the various meld-dramas and farces which were acted daily in the Lecture Room, were thrown from the windows to the street. In many in stances the specific character of stage attire and the roles in which it was flied was noticed and received appropriate comment. Men, In every part of the square, before and near the Museum in Park Row, were seen carrying off all kinds of articles which had been saved, to deposit them in various places for safe keep ing. The burthens taken away were many and various. Birds,pietures,glass machines, heavy trunks, stuffed. foreign fowl,and other articles were seen for a few minutes at all points, near the AlUsellnl, In the hands of those who had just left it. "Ned," the learned seal, was rescued from the burning building by a Brooklyn fireman, Mr. C. C. Pearson, of Hose 1. He was dragged out by the flukes, placed in a champagne bas ket, and conveyed on a cart to Fulton market, where a convenient fish-tank was found in which he was placed, and thus restored to his native element. He did not seem at ad` to ap preciate the attentions be was receiving, but Snapped. at his preserver and all who came hut reach. One of the passers by was nearly deprived of his nether garments by a nip from the sharp fangs of the creature. A great number of people made unsuccess ful attempts to enter the Astor House to view the fire.' They represented they were the guests of the house; but an "expert," Officer Devoy, who knewtbe boarders, discovered the ruse, and thus pre - vented the building from being crowded. Daring the day wet blankets were placed on the windows of the edifice, to prevent them from being fired. At the "Club House" on the corner of Ann street, a number of men were engaged in a genie of faro. No sooner was the cry of fire raised than they all decamped, leaving the rooms open for the crowd to enter, who were not slow in despoiling the sideboardof whisky, choice cigars, anclwmes. The Giant was saved, dressed in his full re galia, and brought to a place of safety, by an officer of the Broadway squad. The building belonged to the. Astor estate, and was held by Mr. Barnum on a lease having a number of years to run. The contents were insured for about seventy-five thousand dol lars in various city offices, whose policies averaged about two thousand five hundred dollars each. The engine was entirely bricked in, and the engine-roomlined throughout with sheet-iron. TUC loss, it is estimated, will not fall much short of a million and a Quarter. The loss curiosities cannot be replaced, while that on buildings, stock, and machinery, in the diffe rent buildings, will reach near one million five hundred thousand dollars. EIVERGY.—WhiIe the old Museum was smoking in its ruins, the prospectus of a new blusenin Association was issued, with a capi tal of three hundred thousand dollars divided into three thousand shares of one hundred dollars each. HISTORY Or THE, XIISMIIM Mr. P. T. Barnum, in the year BM, began his career as showman by exhibiting the reputed nurse of George Washington, Joyce Beth, a colored woman. By large advertising he as enough to organize a travelling show. rln 1861 he purchased Scudder's Museum, New York, pain for it in one year; and shortly after adding to it Peal's Museum, he formed what has since been known as Barnuni's Ame rican Iliuscum.. Here he has exhibited some of the most remarkable and wonderful curiosi ties ever brought to this country. Ile has re alized two colossal fortunes, one of which he lost by his ever memorable and unlucky clock speculation. Here he has exhibited all the remarkable curiosities which money and enterprise could produce. A model of Niagara Fal/S, the Feleo mermaid, the diorama of the removal of the remains of Napoleon I, from St. Helena to Paris, the Happy Fatally, the What is It, the' Lightning Calculator, the hippopotamus, whales, Olio,. tors, prize babies, big dogs, prize poultry, Tom -Thumb and wife, the Belgian Giant, CoMmo dore Nutt, Minnie Warren ; Calvin Edson, the living skeleton; Julia Pastrana, the bear-wo man; the (so-called) Madagascar AlbinOes, and quite a regiment of giants, dwarfs, fat boys and fat girls, have at various times been the at tractions of this unique place of amusement' There was also a large collection of minerals' shells, and stuffed bird§ and animals, which were of real value, and cannot be easily re placed. A series of portraits of men eminent In the early annals of our history have been destroyed, Though valueless as works of art ; they were not without historical calve. number of Revolutionary and other relics are also consroned. Indeed; the accumulations of over twenty years have been utterly destroyed. Recently, however, the 'Museum, has not been adequate to the wants of its numerous patrons. The wax 'figures and other recent additions are no great losses; but the conchologiefd, mineralogical, ichthyological, zoological, and ornithological specimens wore of genuine merit, though; of late, visitors had neglected them for the more showy attractions of the leatilre-room" and the platform of living curiosities. By the burning of the Museum a large num ber of persons have been thrown out of em ployment. The dramatic company employed by Barnum was large, an unusual number of persons being engaged in the various depart ments, or living in distant cities acting as agents for Mr. Barnum. his son-in-law, Mr. S: H. Hurd, has for some time been his assistant manager, and has bad charge of the atusnem Oaring Mr. Barnum's absence. Convention of Adjutant Generals.

Bosron, July IS.—A child named Alice Burns who attended a picnic in Weston yesterday, was seduced away from her young companions, and brutally outraged by three radians, aged from seventeen to twenty-two years, named Richard C. Baine, Robert Lambert, and John McGuerney. The scoundrels have been at% rested, and it is to be hoped will be severely punished. The Child, after the perpetration of the horrible deed, was discovered by her friends in a perfectly insensible condition. She still remains in a critical state. - The Canadian Parliament to Meet. Qi.TEBEC, Julyl3.—A Cabinet Council was held yesterday. It is rumored. that Lord Monek has received important despatches, and that the Canadian rarliament would be, imme-. ditttely summoned. THE NEGROES IN Paseasnimo.- , -.The following was issued by ti.m military authorities. at, Petersburg, Va., July 6th : " The Major- General commanding, dip, Teets that you adopt at once the most strin gent measures tepre,vent the abuse of negroes by soldiers. Many complaints arc made of their lawlessness and tyranny over negroes, and the practice.must be stopped at every ha seed. lon will also require negroes to be re ecectful and orderly on the streets, Com- Daints are made that they frequently do net yield any portion of the sidewalk, but crowd persons they meet, particularly ladies, into the street. Cause those who maybe detected in doing this to be promptly arrested, and break up the practice. It would he well to re quest all persons having knowledge of these things to inform the nearest guard or officer, and in every way practicable to assist the pro.' per authorities in the detection find preven tion of such lawlest practices. Order, also, o, proper attention to decency in the matter or bathing in the river, and arrest all pemoaa violating it." THREE CENTS. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. The creation of national debts is not a mos dern improvement, but the ability of a great nation to provide for a great debt and to make it the most Convenient and best form of per sonal property is a modern weirder. The debt of Great Britain *as begun by raising a mil lion sterling by loan, in 1892, and when her great contest with Louis XIV was terminated, the debt had reached fifty minions. At the close of her Napoleonic wars, in 1810, when this debt had been swelled up to the 'enor mous sum Of Over eight hundred millions ster ling, or fonr thousand three liundred dollars„or nearly one-half the entire property of the United Kingdom, the stoutest heart, the firmest believer in national progress and na tional development might well have been ap palled. Ent in the very face of this mountain of obligations, to say nothing of her vast co lonial possessions, the property of the British nation has been more than trebled, and her debt is now a chargo of but 1234 per cent. All that Great Diitain hag done m paying her debt we shall do, and more, with ours. We have VaSt territories untouchedby the plow ; mines of all precious metals, of which we have hardly open' ed the doors ; a population full of life, energy, enterprise, and industry, and the accumulated wealth of money and labor of the old countries pouring into the lap of our giant and ever-to-be united republic. During the fiercest and most exhausting of all possible wars, we 'have de monstrated our national strength, and all the wOpiti oyer t national strength is but another name for national credit.

The Commissioner of Internal Revenue has rendered the following decisions: Where a party holds an unexpired "permit to trade," granted by any authorized agent of the Go-rexliumnt, civil or Military, and is as sessed fora license-tax as a dealer, collectors of internal revenue will receive such permits in part or entire satisfaction of the license tax assessed. If, for example, John Smith is assessed a license-tax as a dealer, and in pay ment presents to the collector a "permit to trade" which expires April 1,1806, he should be required to pay but one-twelfth of license tax assessed in money, the collector receiving such permit in place of the eleven-twelfths. Collectors will be charged with the entire as sessment, but can make affidavit for abate ment of the amount covered by the permit and money paid by the assessed party, in form No. 47. Applications for the remissions of penalties imposed in courts of the United States must be made directly to the Secretary of. the Trea sury. For further information, parties are referred to the act of March 3,1797, - first statutes at large. Manufaeturera are required by section s; act of June 30,18e1, as amended, to ynay their duties on or before the 30th of each month, without notice. Section Si allows distraint only on failure to pay within ten days after demand. - - - Where a license tax is applied for, which is entered and returned upon the annual list, and is certified to the collector, pending the reception of the annual list, he may make out the license and notify the party that it is ready for him , but he cannot distram until the an nual list is returned to him and all the formali ties prescribed in connection therewith have been complied with. Although; if the party should retuse to take the license, he might be liable for doing business without a license—if a license tax cannot be entered upon the annual list, but in consequence returned upon a special list, and distraint follows in the prescribed time. In the case of a subscription list where the heading involves a promise to pay the sums annexed, the party signing is liable to the stamp duty required en promissory notes unless he pay the amount annexed his name at the time of signature ; in which ease the sign ing of his name should be regarded as a mere part of a memorandum. Where the heading of the list involves a condition on which the subscribers will pay the sums annexed their names, then each signature id held to create an agreement, subject to a duty or five cants. When in the sale of lands by State or county authorities for taxes, the purchaser is re quired to pay expenses of sale and transfer, a conveyance made to such purchaser would require stamp, since the expenses thereof would follow the grantee; but where the State Or county would be subject to duty on a con vey:MCC, it is held that such duty is not due, and no stamp is required.

The money market is overflowing with currency, and the surplus is so large at the banks that in order to relieve themselves they have clubbed together and made a loan of ten millions of dollars to the sub-treasury at the rate of five per cent. interest per annum, for thirty days, or longer, if mutually agreed upon by the COntraCtingparties, at the end of the specified time. The outside rates for prime loans are live and six per cent., and tint-class commereial paper is taken by note dealers at seven and eight per cent. The stock market is more animated, without much change in prices for dividend-paying securities or for he more fluctuating kinds of stocks and bonds. Drexel Ft Co. quote: New 11, S.
