 On Il certain evening three persons called on th. celebrated practitioner An Italian and Polish gentleman came forward. leaving yelled lady in Il the inc'gnito limidy looked rou,id, advanced nesa- tingly, and finally uncovered her head man whose profession was to look on horrible sceutP !, was not likely to be easily moved, but from what now met his sight, he saried back with scream of rtghi and horror. A grimaci"s skeleton, with th' bones oi the head scarcely covered with a reddish epidermis, stood before him. The tongue lay en tIreiy visible, all the passages of the nose and throat without covering. In the attempt to speak, the tongue played like serpent half proirmied from N corpse. The eye lids were tuned inside out, and o the upper jaw there remained but small p0i iion entirely deprived 0i teeth. .l I.s,f...Is -isI r Such was the portrait of lady of eighteen. daughter of one of the s,st brilliant and wealthy Ca mes in Europe, who had been 10 this degree a vic tin to scrolula! t. ..l. .n.-l -,ie-..osl T,

 The Surgeon departed the next day for Vienna, and thiher the lady followed him. Another inter- view with her and some ofler relatives ended in his s'v,ng h's attention 10 see what could he done.

The Pittsburgh papers estimate the loss by the g eat fine m that city, which described partially in our extracts yesterday, to be fully twelps millions Of dOiia,s Probabl, the estimate is little exagge- rated, as is usual at first in of such overwhel- ming loss. The destruction has, how ever, heen uu- surpassed ny any fire in remembrance, excepib b, the great fire in New York, and probably that in Charleston.
 The Pittsburgh Post estimates the number of houses destroyed at l2OO, of which TOO were dwell
 ngs The whole length of the burnt district is about mile. and its average breadth abnut l6O yards, making of about sirty acres and that in the most densely built portion of the city! All ihe Insurance offices in the city consequently bro- ken Not more than Sl5 900 was insured out of the city. The list oi sufferers, printed III solid para graphs, fills uearly column in the Baltimore Patri- ot. Among the buildings destroyed are cotton fac tory, iron works glass works. three churches, three insurance offices, the Bank of Pittsburgh, the Mo- nonsahea bridge, several hotels. and the offices of several poIcaI and relig ious newspapers, and the University buildings.
 It was sad that great nsniber of the merchants had deposited their books in the Pittsburgh Bank for safety, under he belief that the building was fire proof, II having an iron roof and iron shutters But when the building became enveloped in n whirlwind "f fre the iron roof and shutters afforded no security against the deyouring element. ln very short time the fire burst from the building, and s feared the hooks, which had been deposited lhee for safe ", were destroyed. The bank books, money, etc |, in vaults, were fortunately saved.
 The number of persons made houseess, or thrown ou, ol employment by this conaagralon. is estimated at four thousand.
