DREADFUL FIRES IN EDrNsrRsB.
Liverpool, Non. 24th.-On Mond,v
Tuesday, and Wednesday week Fd;n''
burgh was desolated by the ravapes Of
destructive fires which broke ont snc'
cessively on those days. The follow.
ing paragraph from an Edinburgh n,.
per, will give some idea of the e exten,
Of the calamity which has befalIen the
northern capital:
"The extent of the desolation now
that the crisis is past, and that we have
leisure to survey the scene of ruin, an.
pears more frightfuI even than W.
could have imagined. Along the front
Of the High street there are DESTROYED
four lands Of six stories each, besides
the sunk stories; from these down TO-.
wards the Cowgate, by Con's-close. two
wooden lands; in the Old Assembly
close, four lands of six or seven stories.
six smaller tenements in Borthwick's.
close; four lands of six stories in the
Old Fishmarket-cfose. Downwards.
nearly as far as the Cowgate, nothing
is to be seen but frightful heans of m.
in, to which all approach is rendered
highly dangerous, by the walls which
are still left standing in different pla.
ces, but in an extremely tottering con.
dition. Along the front of the Parlia.
ment-square, four double lands, Of Sc.
ven to eleven stories each, have been
destroyed, great part Of the walls of
which have fallen; other parts are still
standing, but in such a shattered con.
dition, that they threaten destruction
to the remaining houses near them:
in consequence of which it was on
Friday Judged expedient to order their
being pulled down. 1t is difficult to
estimate the number of families that
have been rendered houseless by the
present calamity. But when we con.
slider the height of some of the build.
ings, and the density Of the population
in this quarter, six or seven families
being sometimes crowded together in.
to one floor, the number cannot fall
short of $50; indeed we have little
doubt, that, if an accurate calculation
could be made, they would be found to
exceed that number. Such scene Of
calamity as this is seldom paralleled in
the annals of domestic life"
Deal, Mov. 2s.-During last night and
to-day, it has blown tremendous gale.
The Belina, Craig, is totally lost on
the South Sandhead, with Is seamen
of her crew.
Many vessels were driven ashore at
Portsmouth, at the same time, inclu.
ding the Victory, from Calcutta, a We
ny valuable ship.
