New YORK. ADril 9th.


Destructive Fre.-About A O'Clock
on Saturday afternoon, a fire occurred
IN Gold street, which totally destroyed
eleven buildings, and injured several
others. The particulars are as fol.
lows:
On the South East side of Gold
street.-No. Is two story brick front,
occupied by John Harrison.
No. 20 two story frame building,
occupied by Thomas Bloomer, carpen-
ter and box maker-There was large
amount of lumber in the yard, which
was totally destroyed. Also two steam
engines. No insurance.
No. %, two story frame building,
with two story brick building in the
rear. The upper part of both was oc.
cupied by George Paulding, carpenter,
and lower part Of both by John Foster,

FIRE at the Ciiy HoteN-We have
Just returned from witnessing an impos-
ing and grand, though terrific specta-
cle. At about ten o'clock this MORN
ng,thc alarm offre was given, and per-
sisted in with SO much diligence as to
Gender 1t certain that there was Sc
nous fire. Shortly afterwards, we was
informed the City Hotel--a vast struc-
iure, as all the world knows, occupy
ing the whole block west of Broad
way, between Cedar and Thames.
streets, was in flames. We repaireG
Immediately TO the scene of the ca
amity, and were so fortunate as to Sc
cure a view from an upper story, near
ly opposite.
The now-s that this splendid cdifcc,
iong known and universally popular,
as one of the best hotels in the coun
try, was on fire, created very great
interest, and the streets in the neigh
oorhood were crowded with multitudin-
Gus thousands, before the engines could
DC brought up for action; and when
they did successfully arrive, although
every exertion within human power
was made, yet from the great height
OF the building and from the circum-
stance that the fire commenced in the
attlck, it was long time before they
could be brought to play upon tac des-
Istruchve element.
The accident IS said to have been
.occasioned by some defect in one OF
the chimncys. The smoke was frs
observed from the street, issuing appa.
rently from some crevices between the
bricks of the Southern gable, but no
alarm was then given; and even some
considerable time afterwards, when
the smoke was issuing from the upper
window easements, in large volumes,
it was not supposed that any serious
consequences would ensuc. The u
larm, however, was now given, and
IN few moments afterwards the flames
burst forth with great fury, having
thus before the arrival of the engines,
attained a power which it was difficult
to arrest.
a few moments after We became
spectators of the scene, an incident
occurred of painful and thrilling in.
tercst. In the attempt to check the
progress ofthe fire, two individuals one
Of whom, we believe, was Mr.. Jen-
nlngs, the keeper of the hotel himself,
had assembled the upper story, immedi-
ately under the roof, and before they
were aware of their danger, the flames
invested them on every side, and pre-
cluded their decent by the stair case.
The building was so high that no lad
der could be raised to relieve them,
nor even near enough to throw rope
by which thew might descend. InI
this perilous situation-on the verge
OF the roof, and the raging elements
frightiul advances towards
hem, they had for some time the me.
ancholy prospect of being crushed by
the fall of the burning timbers around
them or of perishing in the flames.
Long ladders were spheed; but for
some moments all exertions to reach |
them were in vain, as the ladders
could not be raised to the cornice, and
the persons exposed were upon the
roof, which was burning all around
emerged through a dor
mar window. At this perilous moment
when hope had almost fed, a young
nan, by an extraordinary effort, threw
| rope from one ofthe upper windowsI'

Carrollton in that State. Mr.. Turney
had recently become impressed with
the truths of Christianity, and had
abandoned the profession of the law
for that of the Gospel. While recent
ly engaged in performing the act of
baptism on brother who had wood

accidentally set the steel point of his
artificial leg on the foot of Mr.. Turney,
which inflicted a severe wound, and,
