 THE NATIONAL THEATRE BURNT-An nm. usually destructive fire occurred in this city Ia night between eight and nine o'clock, by which was consumed the handsome edifce, erected but few years ago, known AS the National Theatre, besides some seven eight dwelling houses situated on inc southeast corner ofthe same square and fronting on Pennsy lvanIa and thirteenth street, in add; ton, we believe, to several stables and other build ings which stood the alleys that pass through the square.

 The fire originate in what is called ihe oil room. in the back part of 'he Theatre, while the perform anres of the evening in progress; but, fortun- ately for the persons in attendance, who composed very large and respectable audience of both sexes, the alarm was given sufficiently to allow them a u to escape from the burning building without tke happening oi any serious accident.

 The Theatre was burnt entirely out, leaving the bare walls alone standing. We believe II was Iately purchased from the company who erected it by Mr. Benjamin Ogle Ia. Tor, uf lhs city, whose loss must be considerable, especially ii our information be cor. rect that there Was insurance upon the property. Mr. Burton the lessee, who has also, no doubt suffered much loss. We do not know who the other sufferers are. except that worthy fellow ciuzen Mir. Charles J. Nourse ore oi them, and Mr. Louis Vvans anuther.

 | The Globe Printing Office, which occupies the loi | on the west side si the Theatre, was saved from in jury by being protected hy he nigh and thick walls of the latter budding, and account of the wind blowing pretty freshly al the tune from the west which carried the flames in an opposite direction - | INatonai lntell gencsr.
