GPNEW YORK GAZETTE.--The
publication of this paper will be resumed IN
a day or two. The Office and materials we're
DESTROYED amid the general confagfation.
DAILY ADVERTISER.-The printing
office is destroyed by the disastrous hre-the
materials are principally saved-all the books
and papers are secure. The editors hope te
issue their paper to- morrow as usual.
| JOURNAL OF COMMERCE.-Publics
ton office.-Books saved.
| 1t is impossible to say how many lives have
been lost. We hope for the best, but iron
the fact that so many stores and ofhces oeine
on fire ut the same time; the owners ant
clerks rushing on to save their property, book:
and papers-the falling of walls and umber'
and more than one hundred thousand peo
ple of all classes and conditions, moving II
dense masses in every direction, we appre
hepd that many unfortunate persons have sui
fered. An immense quantity Of valuable
, goods was carried into the Exchange, ant
into the Garden street church for safety, bu
were subsequently, destroyed. Several Of tn
shipping were on fire, and hands could not b'
found to cut them loose. The fremen wer'
! soon exhausted with the severity Of the labo
and the piercing cold; and volunteers wer'
called for in every direction, up to the hou
of going to press; the extent OF damage
could not be ascertained; the fire is still
burning OF South street, and from the direc
ton of the wind we hope it will be arreste
by the river
The Common Council had a meeting an
took measures for the public safety. TIL
marines from the Navy Yard and troops fror
the island are promptly on duty. =,
| 1t is almost impossible to discriminate III
goods which lay on each side Of the pave
ment in every direction and in every stree
in the first ward. All kinds and description
of dry goods, groceries, hardware, fnrnitur'
desks, books and papers, are huddled togcti
er almost without owners. On South stree
the wharves are crowded with casks, crate
chests, pipes. hogsheads, &c. all of which W
fear are burnt. As they were rolled out Il
safety and the engines could not opproac
the stores, we fear the whole is destroyed
Several houses were blown up by the marine
; by order Of the Mayor, with powder brougl
from the Navy Yard, which was necessary
arrest the progress Of the flames.
To enumerate the particular indlvidu
losses is impossibe-as an example, one me
chant had in silks alone $500, 900, which we
destroyed-snother 100000, in teas al
brandies. Many who were prosperous al
