New York, Aug. 22.

FIRE!--About eight o'clock last evening, a fire broke out at the great depot of naval stores, opposite the Coffeehouse-slip, on Long-Island. In a few minutes, several stores and sheds, filled with naval stores, &c. were in a vivid blaze. The wind was very light from S. S. W.and the flames received but little aid which was not derived from the combustibility of several thousand barrels of naval stores, which like the lava of Mount Vesuvius, spread a most interesting sheet of fire over an extensive wharf, to the river, and presenting a most splendid blaze to the surface of the water. It is supposed that the buildings contained about 1400 bales of cotton, and 12,000 barrels naval stores. The naval stores may be estimated at about 4,000 dollars-making a loss, including the buildings, of about 100,000 dollars.

The brick store of Messrs Waring and Kimberly, full of cotton, is the only building which was not laid in ashes. It is not known how the fire originated, but presumed to be the work of an incendiary.
