An alarm of fire was given last night, between ten and eleven o'clock, by the ringing of the Church bell, when it was ascertained that the Liquor Store of Messrs. P. Desnoes & Son, in Port Royal Street, had taken fire. Persons who were earliest on the spot state that the fire was first discovered by Constable Earskine, who was on beat in that vicinity, and three gentlemen connected with the Colonial Bank adjoining were quickly awakened and lost no time in their endeavour to subdue the flame, which was then on the top of the building. Fortunately, Mr. Altamont DeCordova was attending a Lodge meeting; and on hearing of the occurrence, in the coolest manner and with an amount of assurance that was quite justified by the result, left the Lodge, opened his Store, harnessed himself with one of the Babcock Extinguishers, and all in the rapidity of thought found himself on the house top. In a few moments the fire was put out by the Extinguisher, when there was the greatest trouble for water to reach the house-top. The gentlemen of the Bank exerted themselves nobly, but ti was difficult for water to reach the spot, which was done by buckets from the well at the corner of Harbour Street, the key of the Fire Plug being nowhere accessible. It is due, however, to those concerned in the Fire arrangements to state that several Engines were quickly on the spot, but the Extinguisher of Mr. DeCordova had already relieved all anxiety as to the necessity for more exertion. Mr. DeCordova's provision store, we may add, is situate directly opposite the Colonial Bank; and it was a most fortunate circumstance for the community that Mr. DeCordova's patented process was so quickly put in use, or we would have had to deplore this morning the loss of much valuable property in the heart of the commercial portion of this city.

Three persons -- two boys and a girl -- were apprehended by the police yesterday in West Street, on a charge of pocket-picking in this city. It appears that a passenger of the steamer "Corsica" took a stroll about the city, and the prisoners were enabled to cut the string of a bag that was suspended around his neck, containing £80. He has left for Colon, but the detective officers are said to be in possession of sufficient evidence to hold the parties in custody. On being searched £1 3s. was found on the person of one of the accused.

We regret to announce the death of George Crozier Brown, Esq., senior partner of the well-known firm in Hayti of Brown, Ross & Company. The deceased left Aux Cayes with his wife on Saturday last in the Brigantine Anna fro Jamaica, to obtain Medical treatment, but died on board on Sunday night last. The vessel arrived at Port Royal at 12 o'clock on Monday, when Captain Simpson of the Anna immediately made all necessary arrangements for the interment of the body at the burial ground at Port Royal. At about 5:30 p.m. the corpse was brought on shore, where it was met by a goodly number of people of the town and Captains of vessels in Harbour. The funeral procession then moved on the Parish Church. The Rev. F. S. Bradshaw, LL. D., performed full Choral Service. The remains were interred at 6 p.m.

Died

In this City, 29^th March instant, Evelina Dumont, late wife of A. F. Dumont of Colon.
