 Dreadfd Fsre.--Durning of 0ty-one Horses.-A terrific fire, threatening the de- stuction of the fairest portion of our city, broke out last night, little after 2 o'clock, on Market Street. It commenced in the interior of the extensive Livery Stable owned by Messrs. LAvEILLE & MoRToN. and at that time in the occupancy of Mr. JoHN CALVERT. The first intimation of the fire was givenby the flames bursting from the building, and as 1t was. built of wooden materials, and contained large quantity of hay and other provender, all efforts to save 1t were ffuitless. Attention was instantly directed to the rescue of the horses, but, horrible to say, ffty-one of these noble animals are supposed to have been burned with the bnildng. Others were let loose, wild with agony and fright --their names on fire, and presenting ter rIfying spectacle; to relieve them from their sufferings, several were shot down.

 From the stable, the flames conlmunica- ted to the old Catholic church, which, hay- ing been abandoned, was temporarily oc- cupied as warehouse. The walls of this budding, alone. are left standing. The goods-trom eighty to ono hundred crates of china, queens and glass ware-are all destroyed. Mrs. PERRy's row of build- ings, running from Second to Main street, were in imminent danger, as was, indeed, all the property in the neighborhood--a brisk wind prevailing at the time directly from the West. But, fortunately, no other damage was done. The new Catholic church, having fire proof roof, was un- injured, except in the burning of two or three windows.

 The loss cannot now be accurately es- timated. Morton x Layeille, John Cal vert, and R. D. Watson-the latter the owner of the goods-are the principal suf- ferers. The loss of the horses will be ve- ry heavy, but divided among their several owners in the city. Altogether. the dam- age cannot be less than fifteen thousand dollars. It IS not, as yet, known how the fire was communicated.
