The destruction of other property than buildings,
has been enormous. The stores burnt being princi-
paly occupied by merchants, their contents were of
great value. The flames:spread with such rapidity
and the panic created among all classes by the explo.
sion was great, that very little property saved
And IN only u few cases were even the books res
cued from the burning buildings.
Our city readers will be generally aware that the
burnt district Is the most important and valuable part
OF the city, being composed OF large and costly
buildings, filled with expensive merchandise The
French and German merchants congregated chiefly
In that district.
Thirty stores were destroyed, in which goods en-.
titled to debenture had been stored by the officers OF
the Customs. There were also large stores belong
ing to the Custom House, filled with liquors, de-
stroyed.
The following is the estimate made Of the whole
number o, buildings destroyed by the ire
