Fire.—The New Haven Journal says:—The large factory in Dwight Place Square, and occupied by Mr. H. C. Hall, as a manufactory of Daguerreotype Cases, was last night, at half past 10 o’clock, burnt to the ground.

The manufacturer was insured for $1200.  Whether the building was insured we did not learn.  We understand some other property was consumed, owned by Dr. Pritchard.

Correspondence of the Derby Journal.  New Haven, July 26, 1848.  Friend Newson,—Fire are getting to be quite common among us.  The factory in rear of Dwight Place, near Sherman Avenue, owned by Gordon Hall, and occupied by Mr. J. S. Hall, manufacturer of Daguerreotype cases, was entirely consumed on Sunday night last, about 11 o’clock.  It was no doubt the work of an incendiary.  Loss about $1200, insured, I believe, to the full amount.  The building was formerly owned by Mr. Pritchard, and used by him in the manufacture of India-rubber suspenders—and stood upon the same ground occupied by Clark’s match-shop, which was destroyed by fire some time ago.
