TEE GREAT FIRE AT LIMOGYS.—Tbe Courtier
du Centre gives some further details relative to the late
lire at Limoges. It says :—" At the corner of the Rue du
Eaut-Lansecot wu the shop of a gunmaker named Gusty,
who had in his house a large quantity of gunpowder. As
at the commeocement of the firs there wu nothing to lead
to the idea that it would assume such frightful propor-
tions, the only precaution considered 11 was to place
the powder in • cellar. When, however, t flames had
reached some of the neighbouring houses, the preemies of
that mahatma* became dangerous. M. Le Sap. the
deputy mayor, resolved to remove it, sad when the
Heroes were raging at only • few yards (Latent, he, with
the aid of some other courageous persona, executed
the dangerous operation. A few minutes after tire
explosions were beard, *win to some mull packets having

been the consequence if the 300 kilos. bad exploded at the
same time. On another point of the coafiagration was •

mayor, 50 mew belonging to the regiment of diegooea, sided

but it might have been more frightful. Artillerymen from

at times so hot that the regime are obliged to play."
The Balmy of Limoges bas addressed • circular
letter to the eeeledeatice of his diocese on the
subject of the late fire, assigning to the procession of the
clergy with the relic of St. Martial the termination of the
