 SAG HARBoR IN RUINS! ONE HUNDRED Hou-
 sEs, TWO HOTELS, AND THE BANK BURNED!
 Ry the Long Island train of last evening, we have information of most disastrous fire at Sag Harbor equal in extent, in comparison with the size of the town. to the fire at Pittsburg, Quebec, or the New York conAagration. Mr. Tucker, the conductor of the Long Island Road, who obtained all the lnfor- nation practicable in the confusion, states that the fire broke out Thursday night, about 9 o'clock, at which lime the wind was blowing gale. The fire originated in wooden building, and soon eX- tended to more than one hundred houses lone ac- count says hundred and seventy which are en- tireiy consumed. Among the buildings burned was the Suffolk Co. Bank, and both of the Hotels. The loss iA buildings Is varlously stated at $lOO,OOO a $l5OOJO, while the loss in merchandise cannot yet be estimated. but must be very large The portion Gurned the best business part ot the town, and has cast shade over its prospects that will no,we fear sooa be removed. Among the greatest suffer- CTS we hear the names of Messrs Huntley & Null ford SO extensively known in the whaling trade, m New York We do not hear that any oil was tnlrned, or that any damage was done to the ship ping, of which, however, there was fortunately but few sail in port.
 So great calamity has not visited small town in long time, one that will cause more dis tress to its mercantile citizens. The train of to. night will bring the particulars, which wilt be locked for with much interest. the property is insured here, ard the business of Sag Harbor more closely connected with this city than elsewhere.
