II is almost impossible 10 ascertain the
extent of individual losses. Every person
within the bounds Of the fire, and all
those without u, who removed their pro-
perty, los! more or less. But the extent
OF a loss, as il regards merely IFS amount.
Is not the criterion OF MS injury-it is him
that has lost his all, the unprotected, the
iricndlcss, and The helpless, that ought 10

Only one life was lost, Captain FAR.
QUHAR MRAE, after the fire had almost
subsidized, who veniured within building
Tor the purpose Of saving property not
his own. The walls fell, aud he MAS crash
ed 10 atoms. lie was a useful citizen
In his sphere OF life, and would have hcen
regretted even had he died Oh the couch
of disease.
10 give our readers at a distance an
idea OF the part OF the town DESTROYED, is
limits correctly we will endeavor 10 de-
scribe-commencing al tile corner of
Second and Market streets, at building
owned by Mrs. Toomer, near the Town
nan running westwardly to the store of
Richard Lloyd on the river thence down
the river to Orange street thence east
wardly up Orange street TO Second street
ana from thence northwardly along Sec
ond street 10 the beginning comprising
four whole squares, every building in
which were destroyed, excepting brick
warehouse belonging to Hanson Kelly,
esq. the building occupied by Archibald
Taylor, and blacksmith shop. Without
these limits, two houses on Front street,
ana house on Dock street belonging 10
Mrs Bernard, were DESTROYED. Such is the
extent OF our injury. Ii belongs 10 others
To point out our distresses and our L.
menlable situation.
The Police OF The Town have most
important duty TO perform. To them
We leave the task of stating our situation
OF soliciting The assistance--of appealing
10 Tue sympathies, and well known char
liable aud benevolent feelings of the
American people. To the sufferings of
Others, Wilmington has never remained
al itarn Il
10 know them was all HAT was necessary
tor her 10 contribute her mite. She is now
IN d,stress-hundreds of her inhabitants
are suffering. The knowledge OF her sill
uatIon will, We are certain, confer relief.
We have suggested The duty 10 be perlorm-
ed, and those who are 10 perform il. We
have done ours.
And all tins Is the work of an incendia-
ry. Suspicion has been afloai. but We
suspect II has not been directed towards
the RICH, person. Higher views than those
oil plumber must have been the object. for
we nave heard OF mol much su, cess and
OF very fe" attempts. The cause is
imma'erlai the effects of the crime are
inc same. We will not pretend 10 pour-
uay TIE character OF The wretch. Every
vTiuous mind can depiciure it, and human
nature must blush al IFS own depraviiv.
