OPIUM CASE,

16th July.

A large fira socarred last night at the junétion of the street in front of the great City Touple and the Dragon-street which runs directly south from the Pageda. From 8 to 10 o'clock the city was lit up with the larid damas. It was in the very heart of the city, and over twenty shops were consumed; in one of them, & pawn shop clothing establishment, the loss is estimated at from $30,000 to $80,000. Parhags, these figures fare too high. As it was in a crowded section there were no back doors, so potking was saved. The origin of the fire was search under a mesquito net for mosquitos. It spread rapidly. The Prefeok three District Magistrates, the General Commanding, and varions officials both civil and military were in attendamos. There were no canals near, and water for the fire engines, which is carried in whiokor buckets,
