ST. JOHN'S, NEWFOUNDLAND.
(From the Morning Courier extra, June 12.)
On Tuesday morning the sun rose on St. John's a busy
mart; its population arose from the slumbers of the previous
evening, and applied themselves to the occupations of the
day with the hope that it would be as the days that had gone
before; and ere that sun had set at least three-fourths
we of the
town, including the whole of the business part of it, re hi
ashes.
As far as we have been able to ascertain, the fire, though
accidental, arose from carelessness ; its origin was in George
street, off Queen-street, in a house, the lowest part of which
was occupied as a workshop by Messrs. HAIIIIiI3, cabinet-
makers.
In a few minutes the premises of Messrs. J. and W. Stew-
art, P. Rogerson and Son, and Boyd and MDougal, were
one mass of flames. It soon communicated with the oil vats
of Messrs. Stewart and C. F. Bennett and Co. Mr. J. H.
Warren's premises and vats caught immediately after; as
aLso those of Messrs. Rennie, Stewart, and Co. Messrs. New
man and Co., Messrs. T. and J. Kent, and of Bowring
Brothers, Messrs. M‘Bride and Kerr, Messrs. Barne, John-
stone and Co., and the stone buildings occupied by Dr. Car-
son, Mr. Grace, and other buildings. The premises of Mr.
E. Smith and Wilson and Co.,soon followed, and also Mr.
Cliff's wharf, the houses on oth sides of the street, from
Messrs. W. and H. Thomas and Co.'s, to those of Me,ssrs.
Barnes and Job, Brothers, and Co., and Messrs. Hunter, Scc-,
the Bank of British North America, Messrs. J. Tobin and
Her
Co.. L. O'Brien and Co., and James Douglas and Co.
Majesty's Custom-house was immediately after on fire,
whence the flames xtended downwards, destroying every:
thing before them,e
including the premises of Messrs. Gill,
Dunscomb, and Harvey, Robinson, Brooking, and Co., and
proceeded along the beach to Messrs. Parker and Green's, at
Magolly Cove.
While the fire was raging in Water-street, and on the
wharfs, it proceeded up Queen-street to Duckworth-street
with equal rapidity, in the line of Messrs. Newman and Co.'s
premises, where it stopped. The fire swept everything before
g
it down on both sides of Duckworth-stress. The fire reached
the Court-house, it communicated with the buildine-.". the
south side, dertroyin the corn room, Marine Insurance- office,
Agricultural Society Museum, and stone-house of Mr. Prowse.
The fire proceeded rapidly as far as the Ordnance Store,
which was burnt. On the lower side of Duckworth-street,
the houses were burnt as far as the house of Mr. Reid. From
Duckworth- street the fire proceedednorthward on the King's-
road, to Gower-street, destroying every house on both sides,
and about twenty in Gower-street. Along the theatre to
the King's-road, between Duckworth-street and Gower-
street, a considerable number of buildings were consumed.
The fire commenced about half past eight in the morning,
and about seven in the evening the work of destruction may
be said to have been completed, so that in ten hours min
half our town was almost totally destroyed, and the
rose in cloudless splendour, throwing her mild light on a
houseless population, who stood viewing, with intense
anguish, the smoking ruins of their habitations.
A great number of mercantile establishments, besides those
we have named, were destroyed, and were we to attempt a
complete list, we should have to name every firm, except the
solitary one of Messrs.-Newman and Co., which is the only
one now in St. John's that has either a store or an office,
except the stores on the south side of the harbour.
A public meeting was held in the factory at three a, clock
on the same afternoon, to devise measures for the relief of the
destitute ; it was numerously attended. It was ascertaineci
that there were 4,000 bags of bread and 3,000 barrels of flour
in the merchants' hands.
Only three men are reported to have perished in the
flames. The want of water was much felt.
TEIGNMOWTH, JUNE 29.—The town of St. John's, New-
foundland, was almost totally destroyed by fire on the 9th
of June.
All mercantile establishments from Messrs. Newman and
Co.'s, at the head of the harbour to the fishing establishment
of Mr. Michael Rowell, at Chain Rock, are totally destroyed ;
this includes more than two-thirds of all the town. The loss
of property is immense.
It is supposed that not one-twentieth part of the goociS
and property in shops and stores is saved.
Thousands are houseless, and famine is greatly feared.
Many of the vessels had their sails and rigging burnt. The
ti
Court -house, old Protestant Church, Custom- houses and a-
tholic convent are burnt.
Some vessels caught fire, but none had their hulls seriously
damaged.
