rum of Germany one of the most hourishing on the
Continent of Europe, is heap of ruins. Her mer-
chants were rejoicing at the prospects held out to
them by the promised improvements IN our CONNER
cial tariff; now they are mourning over their richly
stored warehouses in ashes their houses devoured by
the ames and their prospects OF increasing prosper
ity scattered to the four winds OF heaven.
The fire, which broke out on "Wednesday night,

leved that the total loss will be double that amount.

canals through the city were dry, so that no water
could be found. The fire ragged from "Wednesday
night to Saturday morning On the latter day, at
O'clock the Danish, Hanoverian, ana russian troops
entered the town, and being well supplied with gun
powder, commenced blowing up the houses 70 arrest
