ALBANY, Monday, Nov. 7.

The town of Green Bay, Wis., was visited by a destructive fire on Monday night, which consumed some thirty buildings, including three warehouses, the United States Hotel, the Advocate's Office, &c., entailing a total loss of about $100,000, which is only partially insured. The warehouses, which contained large quantities of goods belonging to up-country merchants, were owned by Mesers. WHITNEY & SMALLEY. Mr. WHITNEY also owned seven stores which were destroyed, and is probably the heaviest loser. The fire is supposed to have been caused by drunken Indians.
