Destruction of Batt- /' s Pavimow , at Glasgow . —About half-past one o ' clock on the Borning of Friday « e ' ncigbt , tbe large Pavilion is Pope Street , Glasgow , where" Batty ' * eqtreatrJto company has for some weeka pact been performing , was totally * vmsumed by & » . - . Itwan nearly 12 o ' clock before & « performiBOW of the evening were eoncluded , and aeon aftex eve ? y thing being carefully necured , as was thought , tbe doors were locked . There was no fire in tbe iuiW . ng , except a small stove , about which some of the monkeys were gamboling previous to shutting , aod , of coarse it is imagined it mast have been fro « this qmarter the fire
vras eommunicated to toe building . So soon as the fire vu discovered , the most strenuous and meritorious exertions-were made by all on the spot to saw the valuable stud of horses , and we are happy to say that they were nearly all got out , along ' with the lion Wallace , which had been performing fur the last two or three nig hts . It wasTcpottod that one or two of the ponies were destroyed , and that the whole of the splendid wardrobe , horse fumitore ^ indeed every thing belonging to Mr . Batty and bis company , fell a pTey to the destructive element . The pavilion , we believe was insured , but we are conosrhed to say , tbat it was generally reported Mr . Batty was not and that his lews would extend to between two and
three thousand pounds . The Glasgow Chronicle adds , that there was a fox destroyed , and only one of the poney * . The feeling of commiseration for Mr . Batty ' n loss is general , and we are confident , if ie could get np any place to perform in , the publie would not withhold their generous support , even tbongh kis troop could not appear for some time ia in such gorgeous apparelling ssformerly . So rapidly did the fire spread over the building , that no article was saved—tbe whole of the splendid wardrobe , wd dies , bridles , even tbe head-collars—ill tbe trimmings , paintings , chandeliers , &c , and every thing belonging to tbe company , was consumed ; tbe wardrobe keeper , Mr .

Only five of th « sovereigns were found next day amoDgst the rubbish .
