The Fire at Qmbec. We find the fol
lowing extract of a letter from Quebec
under date Of May 80, in the Montrea
Times:
| rode this morning through the ruined
suburbs-a sight mastering all descrip-
Itien. A vast tract of land with standing
walls and chimneys, only to be SEEM
Upwards of twelve hundred houses are
supposed to have been burnt; and the in
mates Of these are not onl houseless, but
.pennycss too. All the space Including
the Queens woodward and St. Paul's
market) burnt eighteen-years ago, has
been again laid in ruins.
| had to take my turn this morning in
serving out bread and biscuit to the sua-
erers. Many and many hardy looking
man, with nothing saved but his clothes
on his back, came up crying. Heart
rending cases are too numerous to be
mentioned.
The Quebec Gazette states that the
habitaions of third of the population
are in ashes. About twelve thousand
souls are without houses or homes, and
most of them have lost nearly all that
they possessed.
Private letters, says the Montreal
Times, give dreadful accounts OF the
sullerlngs of the unfortunate persons who
have been deprived oftheir habitations.-
One of our correspondents remarks:-
"never have | seen any thing to equal the
misery ofthe poor creatures; the flames
have left them no homes, and the hospital
ty which is shown by those who have es-
capped is scarcely sufficient to provide
shelter for the crowds who claim relief.
Wet, cold, and hungry groups are to be
seen standing upon the wharf and in the
street almost lost in despair, but yet in
stinctlvely clinging to the poor remnants
of their houses"
