Great FIRE an 3oSton-Rare|y has
this city been visited by so Obstructive
a fire as on the night oi'Thursday last

shop the flames soon seized on The
large four story brick stores ad lncent;
and thence, in spite of human efforts,
spread rapidly to State Street on the
North, Broad Str ct on the East,
4 Kilby on the West, and very nearly
/ to Milk Street on the South; leaving
in all this extent scarcely a building
uniniured, and but a few not entirely

New York, Aprl l2.-We have
frequently had occasion to call public
Ftention to tie importance of the trade
this port. not only TO the Safe, but
nore especially TO the General Go
ftrnTent. We are led TO make this
nmaIk from the fact, (Which we learn
Hon a correct soarcc,) that the a
hotfnt Of duties on Imports secured at
~ Custom house Yesterday. was sul
u equal to the sum of screen hundred
