About 3 o'clock on Saturday morning, our citizens were aroused by an alarm of lire ; which had taken place in the dwelling-house of Charles W. D'Ovlkv, Ksq.on St. Philip-street When first discovered, one of the lower rooms was entirely in a blaze, and the flames were rap idly extcmlir.g themselves lo the rest of the man sion, which is large, (having four rooms on a floor,) and entirely of wood but through lhc spir ited exertions of those who firt reached the spot, the fire was providentially soon got under, alter destroying the interior ot the room in wnicn it commenced, and injuring thc adjoining ones. The first intimation which Mr. D'Oylcy, or his family, had of their danger, was from without ; when thev effected their escape, but not without some diflkulty, through a thick and almost su (lo cating smoke, down the stair-way. Thc premi ses, we understand, are insured ut the Charleston Fire and Afarint Insurance Office. We regret to add, that not a doubt remains of the fire having been communit?ved by design ; there had been no fire in that part of the house foe many weeks.; and there was also the most decided evidence that an attempt -wasmade.lo set fire Jo another parf of thc house, at thc same time ; hut which did not take clTectC.r;e: 101 HAVANA. hope, that the report of, the murderer bebrg de ranged, may turn out to be true The follow ing Ti c the particulars w hich have conic to our know ledge. .tax. 30.
