regret that we announce this awful catastrophe On
tuesday morning, about o'clock, the building was
discovered to be fire. by the smoke which issued from.
the roof on the side. The alarm was ornedi,te

nope of distinguishing the flame. But it was soon
discovered to be impraccable and the oxertions of all
hands were then directed to the objects of saving the
papers in the different Offices and defending tho Other
public buildings in the Square. In this thew were han
ply successful butt most unfortunately, the whole State
Library was destroyed. The house having been newly
covered with Zinc, perhaps half hour after the
smoke was discovered before the was seen on the
outslde but in few minutes after it burst through the
root the spreading fame covered the top of the house:
after which the top began rapidly to break in and by
O'CLOCK the walls alone of that beautiful edifice

OF all who have visited city, were to be seen with
the rolling smoke and curling flames gushing in terrific
volumes through every door and window and at the
top of its wide and coverlcss walls
