London, August 1.—The police last night, in their attempts to prevent the lighting of bonfires and suppress other de monstrations in celebration ol Carey's death, were obliged to make a large number of ar rests in Dubliu.

This morning the police courts were crowded with prisoners, many of whom showed signs of rather rough usage. Thirty-two ot these prisoners were fined 10 shillings each for kindling bonfires and four others were sentenced to one mouth's imprisonment for assaults on the police. James Carey was shot at 4 o'clock on Sunday afternoon. The steamer Melrose, on which the shooting occured, arrived at Fort Elizabeth at 2 o'clock on Monday after noon.

A FIRE THAT Biß FAIR TO BE DESTRUCTIVE. GOOD WOBK BY THE FIREMEH. A Kir* Ht art* lu Hullock's Box Factory and Threatens the Destruction ol an Kntlie Kow-1 he Ktanies Subdued. The planing mill and box factory of Wil W. Bullock, at the northeast corner of llam Front and Madison street*, was observed to be on fire aboat 1 o'clock this morning, and not only completely gutted but for awhile seriously threatened the safety of several adjoining properties. The box factory is a two story frame building with a large one story addition running back to Christiana street, and is the cor property of a row of two aud t hree story frame houses extending from 615 to 627 West Front street, inclusive. No. 615 is owned and occupied by Charles Harper, aud adjoins the old Western Maiket; No. 617 is owned by the estate of Benjamin Taylor and 4* ncoooted b. George W. LiiiHciib, No. 619 is ownjti and occupied by Daniel Maler, bakerf No. 621 is owned and occupied by Jacob Lloyd; 623 is owned by A. M. Quimby «fe Co., aud occupied by Fred Hock; No. 625 Is owned by Alex. White and occupied by David Myers, a shoemaker; and No. 627, Bullock's box factory, is owned by A. M. Quimby <& Co. The entire row was built at least 40 years ago, and the dry timbers, thoroughly seasoued, burned like tind< r. WheD the fire was discovered the alarm was sounded from box 24 at Front and Justisou streets, but when the engines rived the entire interior of the box factory was a mass of flames. The anjoining house was also burning fiercely, while the Peter Galvin's house. No. 614 Christiana street, was on fire lu several places, and presented an alarming appearance. In ad dition, some lumber in the yards of the Delawars Lumber Company, on the opposite side of the # street, was also smoking in a threatening manner. The first water applied was a plug stream from the Weccacoe, and by the judicious dU rection of several gentleman the stream was turned towards the houses further up Front street, which had not yet commenced to burn, although they were in great dan ger. This checked the spread of the flames, aud when the engines got into service the lire in Galvin's house and the flames confined almost entirely to the planing mill and the two houses ad joining, Nos. 625 and 623. Mr. Lloyd's house, No. 621, and also Maier's, bakery, No. 619, were seriously threatened, but the persistent application of heavy streams of water prevented their destruction. The burned buildings were badly gutted, and in additiou the residences of Fred Hock and Jacob Lloyd were flooded with water, entailing a severe loss. The furniture from these houses, and also most of that from Myers', adjoinlug the planing mill, was removed across the street, and, of course, sustained considerable damage by the transfer. Peter Galvin dumped his furniture into Christiana street, when the destruction of .his house was threatened, and the residents of the row of houses on the north side of ChrUtiaua street also put their furniture on the sidewalk, and pre pare«! for a haofcy flight. , TH*»ir foare wore not groundless, as a slight ureene was coming from the southwest, aud it looked as if the spread like tunately the breeze died out, and this, coupled with the energetic and well-directed efforts of the firemen, put the flames under complete control. The fight was a stubborn one, as the flames got under the weather boarding of the building No. 623, invaded for a while the house of Mr. Lloyd, and for awhile threatened to spread from this house to Maler's bakery. Under the circumstance* it was a a great triumph lor the fire department to keep the fire down as well as they did. The losses are hard to estimate. The plan ing factory buildiugs $1,000 or fl,200, but $10,000 worth of machinery worth of stock, all of which ruined. Mr. Galvin's loss will be $200 or $300, and $500 each will doubtless cover the loss on the houses Nos. 621, 623 and 625. Messrs. Lloyd, Hoch and Meyers lose con siderable in furniture damaged by removal, which the former, however, has an insur ance, as well as on his house. The loss on all the houses will be covered by insur ance, and there was also an insurance on Bullock's machinery. Daniel Maler, baker, at No. 619, also had about $50 worth of flour destroyed by the water which ran into his cellar. it was nearly daylight before the fire was finally extinguished, and a heavy shower of rain relieved the firemen of their duty. The fire created a great excitement in the neighborhood and drew large crowds of people from all parts of the city. Incendiarism is not suspected and the im pression is that the fire originated from the furnace under the boiler of the planing mill. This establishment has long been a source ot dread to the people living In the neighborhood, and they weie not at all surprised when their fears at last realized. The frame shed used as the planing mill was erected in violation of city ordinance, and when the city author ities interposed made to sheath corrugated Iron, placed u long, efforts were ever made to render the corner reasonably safe from fire. The adjoining resident* would be much pleased if in rebuilding the owners are pro hibited from patching up the present build iugs, and compelled to erect a brick struct wan No. extinguished, for a while fire would For whirlwind. a were worth probably they contained nearly and $1,200 Is probably a promise the structure The sheathing was ipon a section about 20 feet the Madison street side, and no wa6 with Arrest* tor July.

Up to within a few years his faculties were un impared, but of late his memory is becoming defective and lie was consequently unable to tell the day and year In which he but his claim as to ae ■ is undoubtedly well wounded and Is substantiated by the fact that Simon Maloney living at Seventh and Pine streets, who will In a short time cele brate his 92 birthday anniversary has known Carroll since he (Maloney)was a boy. Ma loney was born in Galway, and says that Carroll was a young man when he was born. For years Carroll worked at the Lobdell foundry but 10 years ago hurt his back and has been unable to do laborious work since. He was the father of nine children the youngest of which is still living and is at present about 50 years old. In conversation with a representative of the Gazette Carroll stated that his family were not unusually long lived, and that he bad always been used to taking stimulants, and that he had never been sick a week in his life. He is considerably bent, but man ages to walk about the corridors of the Almshouse without difficulty, by the a cane. His hair is An Almshoi dred born, of white, but his eyesight is still g«>o«l.

Despite the heavy rain which began fall ing about 5.30 this morning and continued with unabated fury for the major part of the morning, the excursions which left this city were well patronized. The A. O. U.W. excursion to Ocean Grove and Asbury Park left the P., W. & B. railroad station at 5 50 o'clock in eight curs with a total of aoout 350 excursionists. The Norma^ocial Club's excursion to Atlantic City via West Jersey and the steamer 8. M. Felton took about 500 persons, and & sorry looking lot they were. Young ladies who evidently dressed before the storm commenced, and who were unable to change their dresses came to the >oat in pinks, whites and lawns that were wet and muddy all around the bottom ol the skirts. Others whose um brellas were small were as wet as water could well make them, but notwithstanding all these inconveniences they appeared happy and after commenting on each others ap pearance and an attempt, if possible, to make their finery look presentable, would march off in a hunt for a dry place on the boat. in arm with their best beau Municipal Court.

NOTES. This morning's Press says the umpiring of McCaflerty at Pottsvllle was wretched. The offer of the Cleveland has* been ac cepted, Fox will go, they will send a new battery, give a game in Wilmington and pay Fox $150 a month. The Toledo club, of the Northwestern League defeated the New York League nine by a acore of 4 to 2 in an exhibition game at Toledo last Monday. In the Philadelphia Indianapolis game last week Warner made a home run when three base hit each of his five times at bat. were on bases, and Gross made a It is openly asserted at Richmond, Va., that the game of base ball between the Vir ginia club ai.d the Ross club, of Chester, Pa., played in that city Tuesday, in which the Virginia club was defeated, was sold out by several members of the latter club. Snyder's score at third base, the first time he ever was in that position on Tuesday, was two hits, two put out«, five assists and one error. Higgins at second, had seven put out, five assists, one hit and no errors. The Pottsville Chronicle says : When the Quickstep played at Harrisburg the other day they protested against Blakely who thereupon exhibited his release from the Athletics, while Meyers showed his contract with Harrisburg. They must have been forgeries, for Blakely went back to Phila delphia yesterday. Mauager McHugh_ certainly obtain redress at the next Inter State meeting. Of Tuesday's game the Times Journal gives the following account: A fumble aud wild throw by McLaughlin and wild throws by Knowles, together with an ill judged run from third to home in the ninth inning enabled tbe Quickstep club to score victory over the Anthracites yesterday. Lang being disabled, McLaughlin played short, and Knowles second, and this proved an unfortunate disposition, fbe two massing five out of the six errors made. The Quick step's playing was greatly improved since their last visit, the nine being strengthened by the addition of Fox, late pitcher ior the Baltimore club, and Keiuzle, centre fielder of the Merritt*, but the game was easily in tbe hands of the Anthracites yesterday, and d their defeat is another addition to the many recorded on the homo field through carelessness in Qelàing.

How a North Ward Charmer Punished a North Ward Corner Lounger. [Cu«*8terTlmo*.J Last evening a gentlemen m ith a lady each arm promenaded up Edgmont avenue enjoying the double measure of bliss that a gentlemen so ßurrouuded naturally would. When tbe party reached Broad street a gen tleman there toiached the fair eharmers the arm, at the 6ame time uttering a note expressive of the joy he would feel if he was the other fellow. The gallant took umbrage at this, and disengaging the ladies' arms, straightened himself up and remarked seu tentiously, "Keep your hands off my lady; wbeu you hit her you hit me." The other very elegantly replied by telling him to "go bag his head." but he politely declined so to do and said he would put an eye on the other fellow if his crowd was not there. One word led to another, in which the coarsest language was used, notwlth ftandiug the proximity of the ladies, but no blows were struck. The gal laut gazed around and seeing two of bis friends on the opposite corner, cerent, but dealt fair charmer watched him for a while, • h n springing forward modestly said: "You J rea d—n coward," aud turning on chap who had caused the trouble, < .tiled him a variety of names and then vent for him in regular pugilistic style, cratching his face, coloring his eye a beautt < il azure and disfiguring him generally. Altogether he was tbe most broken up man m ou on that corner for a month. The triu tiien resumed their prome nade. on became more bel li no blows. His t!
