The fico was completely suppressed ut about nine o'clock on Tuesday night. It is now believed that about 800 houses have en destroyed, certainly more than was ab first supposed. Iam sorry to say that it was not altogether unaccompanied by loss of life, for several of the firemen were burned to death, and throo hand el xe consumed owing to their getting jammed up in the narrow stroots. About fifteen more persons were more or less injured by the falling in of walls and owing the confusion prevailing, supply of water was lamentably short. The canal was destitute of water, and the. wells are very empty. The house in which the fire originated was tonanted by a firewood and charcoal dealer, consequently got a good hold at the outset.—Daily Press.
