DREADFUL. FIRE AT AIIRAMICIII.

HALIFAX, OCT. 19.—A most painful duty this
day devolves on us, that of recording a dire cala-
mity which has befallen the province of New,
Brunswick, involving multitudes in death or ruin.
and visited a large extent of country with desola
tion :—On Thursday last a verbal' account was
received of the conflagration which has taken
place at Trederation Gahil. Thirty houses and
thirty-nine barns were consumed, caused by a fire
in the woods adjacent to that town ; and a ru-
mour at the same time prevailed that some of the
back settlements had experienced a similar fate.
But while anxiety was on the search for informa-
tion from Trederation, the intelligence of the dis-
aster at Miramichi arrived. All the accounts re-
ceived describe the rapidity of the flames to have
been such as to preclude the possibility of
saving property to any extent ; so instantaneous
were the effects of the fire, that many
persons who were saved owe their pre-
servation to the vicinity of the river, into
which they threw themselves, and were taken out
by boats. Two hundred persons in the vicinity
of Miramichi alone perished in the flames, and
the loss ,of lives in the interior of the forest,
where escape was impossible, must have been
immense. What renders the event more afflicting
is, that the survivors are, many of them, dread-
fully mutilated, and the sick and dying can no
longer obtain shelter from the severity of the
weather, upon the receipt of the Mail with
the intelligence. On Saturday afternoon great
alarm and anxiety was felt. On Sunday morning
a meeting of the inhabitants took place, andreso-
lotions were passed, when provisions and other
articles for the relierol the sufferers were sent
to the stores of Messrs. Debois and Mitchel.--
A subscription was also opened at the meeting,
by which was obtained 2,0001. Vessels were
dispatched with provisions and others with
clothing, and sailed this afternoon for Miramichi.

DREADFUL FIRE IN CANADA.
[Further Particulars.]
MONTREAL, SEPT. 10.—One of the most de.
structive fires with which this city was ever afflicted, broke out
about one o'clock on Wednesday morning, in the Quebec Su-
burb. It commenced in a stable in Campeau-street. As soon
as the fire became visible, the bells from the different churches
sounded the alarm, and the citizens hurried in crowds to the
spot, but in consequence of the want of water, and a shameful
degree of inactivity on the part of the spectators, the flames
spread with increased power to the surrounding buildings,
which being principally composed of wood, and the weather
dry, were speedily enveloped in one burning mass. The officers,
non-commissioned officers, and all the effective men of the 70th
Regiment off duty, arrived, and no words can do justice to the
alacrity with which every man of this fine corps commenced,
and persevered to the end, in rendering every assistance in their
power. The devouring element raged with dreadful fury, shed.
ding for miles round a brilliant light, producing a spectacle aw-
fully grand, and imparting to the niinds of distant observers
feelings at once of a sympathetic and dreadful character. The
exact number of houses burnt we are unable to find out, as the
space on which they stood is one vast chasm, where no line can
be traced to point out the ground formerly occupied by a build-
ing, with the exception of some solitary stone chimneys, which
are at intervals seen pointing their blackened and scorched top
above the ruins of which they once formed an useful ap-
pendage.

The benign yet powerful properties of that
most esteemed cosmetic, ROWLAND'S KALYDOR,
stands pre-eminent ; it thoroughly exterminates
eruption, tan, pimples, freckles, redness, and all
cutaneous imperfection whatsoever ; arrays the
neck, hands, and arms, in matchless whiteness ;
bestows on the complexion a juvenile bloom ; re.
novates beauty when on the decline, realizes it
where before absent, and sustains it in pristine
splendour to the latest periods of life ; to mo-
thers nursing their offspring it is essentially ser-
viceable in healing soreness, and reducing inflam-
mation, so frequently following this otherwise
pleasing pursuit of maternal affection. To Gen-
tlemen, ROWLAND's ICALYDOR will be found an
infallible specific in allaying the smarting irrita-
bility of the face,and will render shaving, hereto-
fore a painful, now a pleasurable operation. That
the Kalydor elicits these felicitous results, one
trial will suffice to prove, and satisfactorily
establish its reputation.—Prepared and sold,

Vender in Town and Country.

CouioUs DISCOVERY.—A short time ago, a
search having been made among some ancient
papers in Herriot's Hospital, Edinburgh, there
was discovered a challenge to mortal combat, ad-
dressed by the famous Ron Roy to the Duke of
MoNTaosE. It is in excellent preservation, and
not a doubt can be entertained of its authenticity.
It is at present in the hands of one of the sub.
librarians of the Advocates' Library.
