The jewelry store of Mr. Hopkins, was soon emptied by the citizens and police, and th« property placed in char ire of officer McElfresh, of the Fourth Ward.

The building is badly damaged throughout, and much of it will bave to be taken down to make the necessary repairs. It not possible yet to tell what the less will be.

A Raid owFightiwg Alley No a .Sun¬ day morning, about 1 o'clock, Sergeant Bar* ker, with a platoon of the Seventh Ward po¬ lice. made a descent upon the fancy residents and visitors in the alley between 3d and 4^ and E and F streets south, and saptured thir¬ teen women and eleven men without distinc¬ tion of color, and carried them to tbe station bouse. The females were charged with lead¬ ing a lewd and lascivious course of life, and the men with being disorderly. The locality baa been complained of by the respectable neighbors, which caused the raid. Justice Handy fined them all in sums ranging from two to ten dollars. Eight of the party were sent to tbe workhouse in default of payment of lines. The Fiphing Season Over..The Alexan¬ dria Gnz*tl" says..The fishing season may now be said to be over, as we understand the lew seines which have been woi ked since the 20th of ibis month, will be closed and cut out to-day. During the last week quite large it n- bers "of shad and herring bave been sent to market, and the fishermen «ay there are plenty of fish in the river yet. The gillers will still continue to catch shad. Sturgeon are now canght in numbers. . Raid ok Louse Alley .Last night the po¬ lite of tbe ?th ward made a descent upon tbe alley, between 3d and 4)f streets, aartb of Maryland avenue, and arrested twelve men and six women, all white: the men for dis >nl- ?rly conduct and the women for a lascivious life. The fines ranged from three to five dol¬ lars each. The women were out of funds and were sent to the workhouse. B. B.
