ANoTHER GREAT FIRE Ar RuFFALo.


 COnGagrGtion.- large portion of the city Of Buffalo is now mass of smoking ruins.- The greatest fire ever known to our inhabi- tants since the town was burnt by the British, occurred last night. About o'clock in the evening. the two story wooden building, near the Exchange Buildings, O1 Main street, un- occupied and hacked, was discovered to be on fire. and the whole block from the Exchange Buildings to Seneca-street through to Pearl inclusive was cOnsu ned with astonishing ra- pidity.
 More than sirty buildings cf all kinds are consumed The stores and dwelling houses destroyed, amount to about forty. four. The valuable establishment of Wilkeson, Beals and Co. is entirely destroyed. and no insur- ance of any consequence (perhaps $lO00) np- on it. The loss will be from l6 to $eO, 900. Other individuals have suffered severely, par ticuiarIy Williams SL Go. Paterson, Brothers, Dr. Clark, FIagg & Maynard, Morehead SS Adams. and many others, whose names we give below, and whose property has been destroyed, their business operations interrup- ted. or their families deprived of comfortable dwellings. The loss is very great. It is as yet difficult to ascertain the amount. but the destruction of property, probably does not fall much short of SgOo,00O. The wind was very high the first part of the evening, and the fire communicated with a certainly and quickness that we have never seen equalled. It was by very great exertions that the Buffa- lO House was saved, and other buildings 0n the north side of Seneca-street, to which. if the fire had extended, one half of our city must inevitably have been laid in ruins. The flames were arrested in their southern course at Mir. Goodrich's buildings On Main & Pearl streets; those on Main street (the Exchange buiDdings) being considerably injured.
 The following are the particulars, so far as we have been enabled to obtain them:

 Ihe fire ,oas undoubtedly the soOrk cf dn in- cendiary. It was first discovered on the out side of the unoccupied building, and so situ- ated as that it could not possibly have been communicated from any ofthe regularly kept fireslOr stoves near. We understand this Is the third attempt to fire the city in that quar- ter, that has been made since the first of June last, and the villain or villains have at last ac complished their nefarious purpose. and in flcted blow that will long he felt. What was one of the most active business parts of our city is heap of ruins.
