 CoNYLAGRATIok AT TSMYRkA.--The following deta ills are taken from private letter, dated Smyr- na, July 9. 1Si5
 ''Smyrna IS again in misery and ruin; larger and more awful conhagration than the last commen- ced the evening of the 3rd nstant continued vio- lently for twelve fleen honrs and upwards oftwo days in burning embers and side fires. Even up 10 yesterday here and there magazines and stone build ings were burning; some from being opened too soon, when the heated air burst into flame. IL be. gan in the centre of the town, aided by furious north wind, (which afterwards changed) destroying every thing right and left, and for crcumference calculate, of al least mile and half. The town half side of Frank street s consumed. and then right away to our exit of town to Boudja. The Eng fish hospital saved by miracle, and thereby preserved that part of the town and the called rue de Rose. The Austrian hospital burnt. Close to Ii Borrell lives; he was saved. although the fire was burning three sides of him. Then, back wards, all the Armenian quarter, except PurdIe street, IS des- troyed The fire skrted the Jews quarter, burning some 100 houses, and then spread to the Grand Vi- zier Kahn, and up 10 the bazaars. Shoemaker lane is all burnt, and round about St. Georges, in the former fire. The three corners, Atkinson's, Nal iass's, etc., are saved. It came near to us. when Van Lennep's and three four adjoining houses were burnt; but all these being built with terraces were consumed, and the fire fortunately stop ped. By pulling houses down in the little laue we pass through, going mic the country, from Frank st. stopped it on that glide of us, although it was very close. The Dutch and Tuscan consuaies were burnt; two three large kahns; that IS. the Grand Vizier, new made one, and lmaum Oglu Kahn, were destroyed. The Greek hospital, close to the Anstrian hospital, saved by great exertion | II had S00 lntallds in it. Fourteen fifteen large wine taverns and Their depos. etc. are gone. Al one time the fire Taged that had change oi wind taken place, il thought all Smyrna must have been in ruins Mir Jackson says il is the worst fife he has seen, and larger than that in 1737. He, well as Brandt, and all down ne gh burhood. had their houses dismanted, and every thing put into magaznes but, thank God, ihe Eng fish have escaped. Very few, and those only in rent
