interesting, in several points of view A full account
WILDE found in another column. The heart-rendine
confagration of Hamburg is accompanied by plar
ofthe burnt district, which will give correct idea
to the reader of the extent of this most awful de-
structlon.
The ravages committed by this fire far exceed
anything that has taken place in modern times. The
loss by the conhagraon of New-York in 1885 wa:
estimated at $40, O00, OOO-that of Hamburg at three
times as much, $50, OOO, 900. Collections and SUBJ
scrptions were made over all Europe for the suffer
ers and last night numerous and enthusiastic
meeting was held in this city at Delmonico's, and
large amount subscribed for. This is generous.
The intelligence from Paris is also heart .rending
Such railroad accident far exceeds anything that
ever took place in this country. The railroads in
France are generally very badly conducted.
What singular medley of news we have in one
day. The confagraton of Hamburg-the railroad
destruction in Paris-and the grand bal masque OF
Queen Victoria-death, destruction, and dancing.

The ATLANTIC STEAMERS OF SOME
CHANGE IN THEIR TAcrIcs-The Columbia steamer
brought very few passengers to Boston-not enough
to pay for the Goals.
These beautiful steamers are losing all their pas
sengers-and why? Because they do not run be-
tween the proper central points Of travel. The
New York packets, including also the Great West
and British Queen, will certainly these Bos-
ton steamers off the ocean, unless they change their
point of arrival on this side. Nec York is the port
they ought to come ko--not by any means Boston,
,chich is mere out port or outpost. New York is the
great centre of all travel and all mind-and all
thought, and all business 1t is the Paris, the Lon
don, and the Liverpool of this continent. The Gu
nard line cannot prosper unless they come to New
York.
Will Mr.. Cunard take this matter into his most
serious consideration Z!
Meeting of German Merchants at Dclnoni-
cos Last Night, In relation to the Great
Fire Mt Hamburger.
A large and highly respectable meeting of German
merchants was held last night at Delmonicos in or
der to concert measures for collecting money, &c.
to relieve the sufferers by the late dreadful fire at
Hamburger ...
We never saw meeting where they understood
SO well what real business meant. They had but
two officers, Mr.. Schmidt, the Consul Chairman,
and Mr.. Faber, Secretary. They talked but very
little, and that little ras said in German.
They passed resolution appointing Committee
to collect subscriptions. There was some differ
ence of opinion as TO the number. Some proposed
nine, some eleven, some thirteen, and one very
handsome man in white pants, said that commit
tee Of fifteen would look better than committee of
thirteen. The Chairman at last put the question,
Shall the committee consist Of twenty-one About
a dozen cried out Yaw." About six cried out
"No." One dapper little man asked if John Jacob
Astor was not Deutch! The Secretary replied,
&c Yaw John Jacob Astor's Deutch." 1t was pro-
posed to put him on the Committee, but this not
done.
The following are named for the Committee =
Theod. Victor, rs. schlcsinger,
J. d. Kleudgen, Fred. Schuchardt,
Theod. Des Arts &. H. F. Mormg,

There was some little trouble in getting the names
on the Committees great number had little to
say-a very little-and two or three would be talk
ing at once but all in good humor and harmony
and so the meeting broke up. 1t was one Of the
most quiet, orderly, and respectable meetings we
present seemed DESTROYS not to promote his own
views, but merely scch measures would secure
the object they have in view,he relief of the suf
fercrs at Hamburger. The committee is one of the
most respectable and unexceponable that could
have been selected.
