Liquor Burnt.—Among the property destroyed by the late fire, in this city, was a large quantity of intoxicating liquors, for which nobody ought to mourn. It is announced that 912 pipes of brandy, 200 pipes of gin, 100 puncheons of rum, 2000 pipes; half and quarter pipes of Madeira wine, 3000 casks of port wine, 1000 Malaga, 1500 Marseilles, 1000 claret, and 5000 baskets of Champaigne were consumes. How much more that is not told of, on account of the little sympathy the take would excit, is not known. The operations of sundry large wine merchants are also rudely put a stop to. N. Y. Evangelist
