FIREs.-Several of the cities in the north have lately suffered by fres-W Washington, Philadelphia, New Y ork, Sc, &c., and to-day we received melancholy account of con nagration at Norfolk in Virginia, ill the night of the 4lh instant. It broke out in the cellar of store occupied by Messrs. Edwards and Armstead, which store was one of a block of four fine large buildings. belonging to Mir. c. w. Newton and not quite finished. The fire was discovered by MT. w. Y. Robinson at midnight, but before tho cellar could he broken into, it was filled with smothered flame, which burst forth furiously as soon as the air was let in Mir. Edwards, with two assistants, had been in the cellar til nearly II o'clock the same night, engaged in taking an inventory of the goods. and ii is supposed that spark of burning snuff from the candle fell upon some combustble stuff and remain cd unobserved Ut their going away. They estimate their loss al between 20 and 9 thousand dollars, of which only Sl0,000 were insured. Some of the buildings in the block were destroyed and the remainder bad ly damaged.-.N O. Coarier.
