stock, but $3.50 in specie and paper, and val
liable gold watch. Mr.. Graham slept in the

they state that their printing materials were en-
irely destroyed, together with all their stock of

Whig Almanac, being in another office, we've
preserved The account books, mail books, &c.

it is hoped, will have passed through he fiery
ordeal, without harm. 1t will be impossible to
recover them for day or two, on account of
The heat of the ruins. The publication Office

establishment having been " destroyed" but say
they shall resume the publication, as soon as
the necessary arrangements can be made.
The buildings were owned by Mr.. Thomp-
son Price, and partly insured.
We annex an extract from the card of Messrs.
Greely & M'Elralh prop,ietors of The Tribune ::
The publishers Of the Tribune having lost all
their materials by the fire this morning, ask the
forbearance Of their patrons and the public for
few days. Through the kindness of friends,
they expect TO be able TO issue some sort of a
paper tomorrow, and thence regularly each
morning and evening. Our pecuniary loss is
in part covered by insurance, and we shall soon
present our paper on new type, and in a style
which will evince that we have lost nothing of
energy or spirit by our sudden calamity Un-
less our mail books are destroyed, (Which can
not be known for day or two, until our safe
can be dug from The ruins,) we shall recommence
serving our daily mail subscribers in day or
two, and our weekly next week
We desire 10 return our heartfelt thanks TO
those Firemen, who, in defiance of the most
furious storm dragged their engines through
streets impossible by ordinary efforts, and des-
peralely, though vainly, struggled to save some
portion Of our property. Had the fire occurred
on any other night of the last two years, these
efforts must have been successful. To the pub
fishers of the Express. American, Mirror, Morn
ing News, Sun, Herald, and Evening Post,
who have generously placed their Offices at our
disposal, and to our many personal friends who
have rendered US every aid in their power, we
tender our grateful acknowledgements May
the day be far distant when we shall have an
opportunity TO reciprocate this kindness!
Something for Americans.
