Sir Edward Malet is the envy of British diplomati. In these days of slow diplomatic promo tion, to be Am bassador to Berlin with out doubt now the most important' of British legations at 47, and marry the daughter of almost the wealthiest Duke, is an extraordinary success for the younger son of a 6econd-class di plomatist without powerful political connections. , The number of cities or boroughs in England which provide a residence for their Chief Magistrate is few.

Fish and Fisheries. We have received from S. G. Worth, Superintendent of Fisheries of North Carolina, a copy of bis Third Biennial Report for the years 1683 and 1684. It ia a valuable, instructive and interest ing document and well worthy of a careful perusal. Some of tbe matter treated upon is ot great importance to tbe people of the State and especially to those who have capital invested in the fishing industry. The report very wisely urges such legislation as shall fosier and develop the fishing interests of tbe State. These are now quite im portant, but may be increased almost immeasurably. ; The report offers many suggestions which we think are wise and entirely practicable.

C TUESDAY. APRIL 14, 1885. LAST NIGHT'S FIftE. Tlie Largest In Wilmington in Years -Loss About $45,000. Last night, at about half past 7 o'clk. fire was discovered on the premise of Messrs. Giles & Murchison, on North Front street, between Princess and Chestnut, in tbe Murchison buildings. t 'T 1 ai a t s a meae gentlemen nave occupiea me an! iro -firaf- flrwif r.f tho m i 1 A I ry tr onst f ho T W1 v"w T"" 7" Uciseiuivii. i uo suuiaern na.ii ui me premises are devoted to the hardware business and the other half to crockery, glassware, &c The presence of the fire was first made known by the exit of volumes of smoke emanating in the base nent and escaping through a grate ing in tbe sidewalk on Front street The alarm was immediately given and in a short time the entire fire depart' ment was on the spot. A hurried investigation revealed the ftct that the fire was fiercest in the middle of the building, in tbe crockery department, and under tbe skylight, through which they were already forc ing their way when the first stream of water was thrown. There was a fierce breeze from the northwest at the time and the fight with tbe flames was a hard one and it wasoniy after an hour's hard work that the firemen had gained con trol. Tbe flames were difficult of ac cess and the very inflammable nature of the material on which the fire fed rendered them difficult to subdue. But at lenath this was effected although it was not until 2 o'clock that the "re treat" was sounded aud the wearied firemen were allowed to rest from their labors. , There was an attempt made tore m -ve some o! the stock and the safe, which was in the front part of the store, and which contained the books and pa pers of the firm, was removed to a safe distance, as was also a staunch iron chest, which was used for the storag6 of powder, and which was kept always on the sidewalk in front of the store, securely locked and chained. At one time during the progress of the fire a lot of pistol cartridscs in tbe hardware department became ignited aud for some moments there was a series ot rapid detonations which reminded old oampaigners of "firing in front and al along tho line." Daylight at last rorealed the ruin which had been wrought and all day long there have been crowds of sight seers in tbo vicinity. The police took early possession of the premises and guards were stationed to prevent tbe ingress of sight-seers and to protect the property from depredation. The wreck in the crockery store is complete and the damage ja tbe hardware depart ment is also very great, although in this latter instance it is more perhaps from water than fire. There is scarce ly a whole piece of crockery remaining on the store floor, although in the base ment and at the rear. West of the space where the fire -originated, there are bales, bcxes and barrels which are ap parently uninjured. The building was originally a dwelling house and when it was devoted to mercantile purposes an addition ene sTory high and a base ment was built out at the rear. The roof oi this addition has fallen in but the floor was not burned thoroughly. Indeed, there are but few places where the floor in either department has been burned through. It is impossible to figure up the losses as yet, although they will be very heavy, and cannot, we think, fall far short of $35,000 on the two stocks and $10,000 on the building. Messrs. Giles & Mur chison had in all $31,000 insurance, $9,000 on crockery and $22,000 on hardware, divided ss follows: With Messrs. W. L. Smith & Co., $2,000 in the Connecticut Fire Insur ance Company, and $4,000 in the Scot tish Union & National, both on crock ery. 'With Messrs. Atkinson 6s Manning, $3,000 in Imperial, of London ; $2,000 in Fire Association, of Philadelphia. $2,000 in Commercial Union, of Lon don; $2,000 in Queen, of Liverpool; $3,000 in German American, of New York, and $1,000 in Phoenix, of Brook lyn, all on hardware. With Messrs. DsRnsset & Northrop $2,000 in New York Underwriters1 Agency, on hardware. With Messrs. Northrop A Hodgers, $3,000 in Phoenix, of Hartford, on crockery, and $2,000 in Phoenix. of Hartford, $2,000 in Royal, of England. $1,000 in Western, of Canada, and $2,- ooo in Georgia Home, of Columbus, Ga. , on hardware. Toe building is the property ol Col. Kenneth M. Murchison, of New York, who is now here, and is fully covered by insurance for 1 17,500 hi eight differ-1 Reyiew. ent companies, the insurance having been effected in New York. It was occupied on the upper floor as sleeping rooms by a number of single gentle men all of whom sayed their effects Tbe building itself is badly damaged onrt it is thnnnKt lb.M U - r. t r iin no i l,i . . ! ig me estimate as high as $12,000. on account oi some injuries which it is thought the walls have sustained Col. Murchison says thai the repairs will be made at once, or just as scon as tbo loss can be adjusted by the in surance companies. It will probably he reoccupied by Messrs. Giles & Mur chison who have in the meantime leas ed the store on South Front street re cently occupied by Messrs. F. G. & N. Robinson, where they are already at work. There arc many theories and but one fact to account for tbe fire. Some say hat it was accidental, some that a match and a rat may be chargeble and others that it was of incendi ary origin. These last base their theory upon the fact, which seems indisputable, that some o.ie was concealed in the store when it was closed for the night with robbery in view; that he stole what he wanted and then set fire to the straw in tho j base in cut and escaped by the back door. But as the fire was lound under full headway within thirty miautes alter tho store was closed for the night this theory must fall to the ground Certain is it, however, that the back door of the basement was found un locked when the firemen first arrived on tho scene, while several of the young men in the store testify that it was closed and locked before they left the store. The actual origin of the firo will probably remain a mystery for ever. Open Air Concerts. Tho Wizard Oil Company of musi. cions were out for a short time last night, but owing to the fire, the noise and confusion incident thereto, and the high wind, they remained but a short time. They sung a few pieces in excellent style. They will make their first appearance in tbe day-time at 3 o'clock to-morrow alternoon in front of tbe City Hall and if it should prove pleasant weather they will undoubtedly have a large number of listeners. An Improvement. One of the ancient landmarks of the city, an old house on the East side of Second street, a few doorsNorth of Market, the property of Mr. C. P. Reuben, is being pulled down to make way for a handsome and a more im posing structure. Tbe new building will be wood, 25x30 feet, two stories high, and with a tin roof. Tho first floor will ba fitted up as a store and the second floor as a dwelling. It will be occupied by Mr. Remscn and he hopes to move in by the first of June. The old bnilding now being torn down is said to have been built nearly a hundred years ago. The Mail Irregularities. Our friends at Rocky Point and along the mail route to Point Caswell wtll be glad to learn that their complaint, as published a few days since in the Re view, has been beard and heeded. Col. Brink has written to the department at Washington and urged that the mail coming South on 40. the fast mail train, be exchanged at Rocky Point and that the mail carrier to Long Creek rind Point Caswell be required to wait every day until 10 o'clock for the arrival of tbe mail from tbe South before leaving on his route. This change, when ef fected, will prove of great benefit to a!j interested. A If una way. When the alarm of fire was sounded last night tbe horses of the steamer A. Adrian were quickly harnessed and attached to the engine, but owing to the ; accident which befel Mr. I'eter Fick yesterday, he was unabie to be present and there was no driver, uotil Mr. A. Adrian volunteered to drive and mount ed to the seat and started the engine for the fire. In coming down Market street the horses concluded to run away and tor a time Mr. Adrian could not i Adrian could noli hold them. He managed, however, to . , , , TT; , . . be able to guide them, and when they u :. t Front streets he turned them around and they went back as last as they could Jump until they reach' d the corner of Third sod Market streets, where they were stopped. Mr. Adrian then got off. tertunalely with no injury further than a slight abrasion of the skin of his hands, caused by polling so hard upon the reins, Tbe horses hsd their (an all lor nothing, lor they were immediately compelled to haul theensioe to tbe fire where it did good and efficient service.
