to destruction, and the fire of the night of the 7th
inst. had scarcely been subdued, when another

street HOTEL adjoining; the Merchants and Planters

eminent street; and the entire block bounded by
Royal, Cont, St. Emanuel and Government streets.
The Court House, Mobile Bank, and Star Hotel,

down, taking in about twenty buildings. or those
destroyed Cont street there included the May
or's office, the Guard House and the Mobile Ex-
change. The Post Office, which was in the Mansion
House, was also consumed. All the letters and pa
pers were, however, saved by the Postmaster and
his clerks. Many Of the buildings reaching down
some distance from the corner Of Royal and Govern
