: Y
loss was chiefly IN boots anc shoes, to the
amount of about S5,00O--ihe greater part
of The loss falling on consignees.
All the before mined back warehouses
were substantially built Of brick, but were
generally low. Itwas wonder OF wonders,
that such mass Of heated and blazing brick
ediice did not destroy the front stores on
Main street-many Of which were on FIRE at
different times.
Running down from the stable on Cotton
alley TO Pearl street, the FIRE consumed the
large noble brick commission store of STAN
ton, Buckner & Co. with the cOtioh-shed
attached. The loss of the bnilding is Sl0,-
900; other losses about 5000. There
were only IL bales Of cotton burned in the
shed-fve belonging TO John Baynton, Esq
and seven to another gentleman; f0rty-two
bales Of new cotton had been delivered from
this yard the day before.
Running up Cote n alley from the stable
TO Commerce street, the FIRE was most des-
tructive; it burned the large house on Com
merce street belonging TO the Natchez In
surance Company, occupied by DR.. A. A.
Jones, Botanic Physician, as a drug store,
and by John r. Stockman as store and ia
mily residence. DR.. Jones saved a few
things, but lost about $4,000 worth Of
drugs.
John R. Stockman, ESQ.,. saved scarcely
any thing-even the most of bis wearing
apparel aud that of his family having been
consumed, quite happy to have escaped from
the devouring element with their lives. Mr..
J. r. Stockman's loss cannot fail Of being
| q IN 0O1 Or @l5 600
The next store below, to the north of John
R. Stockman's, was occupied by Cyrus
Marsh, ESQ, who, we are happy to learn,
had time to remove most of his goods.
The next building below, corner of Com.
merce and Franklin streets, was the large
boarding house owned and kept by Mrs.
Cornell, which was wholly consumed, CIV
ins time, however for that lady and her
numerous and respectable boarders, to re-
move most of their furniture and effects.
Mrs. Cornell, we are informed, was insured
on her house and furniture to tIIe amount
of $22, 900.
Two gentlemen who rented store rooms
of Mrs. Cornell, James Stockman, and
Messrs. 4. A. Holmes & Co. had time to
remove most of their effects.
A back warehouse belonging to G. Marsh,
of brick, fire proof, and filed with pork,
stands unframed in the midst of the ruins
as an oasis IN burning desart.
The Courier of the 7th inst states, that
about quarter before one o'clock On the
morning of the 9Th, fame was dis overed
issuing from The roof of the residence oil
Mr.. VIM. B. Howell on Commerce street,
adjoining the house of Mr.. Exum Lewis,
where the progress of the conAlgration OF
yesterday was stayed; in a few moments
the whole roof was developed in fumes. If
plentiful supply of water could at once
have been obtained, the house might have
been saved with bat comparatively little in-
jury, as it Is, it is nearly a total ruin. Its
value was about SlS.000.

Tae FIRE having goi under good Roadway
before IT was dscovered, spread rapidly up
and down Cotton Alley, burning The outer
warehouses un both sides, and end ng only
at Pearl street with the confilgration of the
large warehouse and cotton yard of Messrs.
Stan&on, Buckner & Co. ON the north side
of the alley, and the large warehouse Of ia.

On the north side of Cotton Alley, the
following Warehouses were burned: begin

Cos, a large brick warehouse, filled with
goods on commission, to which Mr.. SOria
had, but two or three days ago removed all
the goods belonging to the firm individual

auction room for family residence--rough
estimate Of the loss of property in his ware
rooms deposited there on commission and
held as an individual firm from $4,000 to

The next back warehouse on Cotton AL

The next back warehouse above on Cot

double brick warehouse filed with goods
belonging to Mr.. Wemple, amounting, on a
rough estimate, at $1,000 or $1,000. The
front store of Me. Wenple on Min street
was only saved by the daring exertions of
bremen and citizens, powerfully seconded

The Houston Intelligencer has the fol
lowing paragraph relative to Mexico.
From the intelligence received through
Col. Karnes, who arrived yesterday from
Bexar, it wonld appear that all is not yet
quiet throughout the northern provinces of
Mexico. Our foImer accounts led to the
belief that all resistance to the present con-
stituted authorities of the country had en-
tirely ceased. But it now appears that let
tiers have been received by some of our citi-
zens of San Antonia and by Col. Karnes
himself, from distinguished and influential
person beyond Rio Grande, stating the fact
of Tamaulepas, Coahuila and Nuevo Leon
having declared their Independence of
Mexico.
