been consumed, covering an extent of 20 acres.
The lire was still raging at last accounts.
Bach details of the calamity as were known in
New York when the packet sailed are given in the
following telegraphic despatches:
Bassos, July 9.—We have just received the following
despatch from Burlington, Vermont :—A fire was burning
all day yesterday in Montreal. No particulars have been
received. It is supposed that the telegraph office is de-
stroyed, as we can get nothing from Montreal. A private
despatch, dated 4 p. m. yesterday, mays that much damage
had been sustained, and many buildings consumed, and the
fire was still raging. A despatch from Rouse's Point says,
the fire broke out yesterday forenoon, and last evening, at
10 o'clock, the fire was distinctly visible.
Mo AAAAA L, Jove 8, 730 r.x.—Our city has been
visited again to-day with a most disastrous fire. It com-
menced about 9 s.m., in a small building, on the corner of
St. Lawrence and St. Catherine.strects, extending its
ravages through the latter to St. Deuis-street, and destroy-
ing in its way a number of buildings in St. Constance.
street, Mignone-street, and Elizabeth-street. In these
localities some 300 or more dwellings hive been consumed.
The splendid block known as Cornwall-Li ream, the Bishop's
Church, and the palace in St. Denis-street and Viger-square,
, the market, and the cattle market, ars also in ruins. The
Montreal hospital, in Dorchester-street, very narrowly
escaped. The fire is still raging in Lagauchetere and Sau-
-1 guinet-streets. The saw-mills of Simms son Colmon were
on fire, and a quantity of lumber destroyed.
L ST. Joan, July 9, 11 a.m.—A report is current that the
Barracks, Officers' Quarter', the Hayes House, Donegana's
Hotel, and the Theatre at Montreal, are destroyed ; also
' Dalhousie-square. At four o'clock this morning, when the
ears left for this place, the fire was still raging. It is sup-
posed that only a part of Donegan's'. Hotel is !imed.

FROM ►N ZTE WITNESS.

Hosrox, July 9.—We learn from an eye witness who left
Montreal this morning, that the fire commenced among the
bosses of the poor French Canadians. No water of con-
s .nenee was to be had, and the flames soon attained a fear-
ful- headway. Iu an hour there was half a mile of flames
and the houses disappeared befits it like brush heaps. The
flames would lick up the furniture as it was conveyed away
from the buildings in carts. Up to last evening something
like twenty acres had been burnt over, mostly houses of but
little value ; but there were many good and valuable
houses burned. Hayes' hotel is totally destroyed. Up to
last night no stores had been burned, but it was feared from
the continuance of the fire that they had been reached.
Thousands of families are houseless, end have lost their aIL
The fire was still raging when our informant left, and 60
great was the consternation and confusion, that he could
obtain no reliable account of the extent of the ravages of
flames during the previous night.

Minister.

NEW YORK, FRIDAY NIGHT, JULY 9.

The demand for stocks has been unusually active for this
season of the year, and prices of all sound dividend paying
stocks have an upward tendency. Other descriptions have
also been firm with largo sales. Foreign exchange is firm.
London, 110 to 1101 ; Paris, 6.17 i to 5.161 ; Amsterdam,
401 to 414; Hamburg, 36 to 37i ; Bremen, 781 to 78j.
Money continues in the same abundance that we have be-
fore notated. It wee thought, as the season approximated
towards the fall trade, there would be more demand for
money, but thus far it is quite limited, and the probabilities
are that the present low rates will continue to rule for the
balance of the year.
COTTON.—There has been a more active demand for the
past three days, and prices are well maintained. The stock
is light, and all grades, from middling upwards to fine, are
scarce and wanted. The sales of the week amount to 7,600
bales.
