EXTENSIVE FIRE.-lt is our painful duty to re-
srd this morning one Of the most extensive and
aertsuctiye oonnsgrations that has for many years
occurred ia Montreal The fire broke out about
O'Clock ia the afternoon Of Saturday last in the
workshop OF Mr. McNiven, carpenter and joiner,
brmiDg the corner house Of Gabriel and Nazareth
sts, Griffrtswn, and in an incredibly short space
Of time extended through St George, Nazareth,
and Prince SITS, to w elhDgton-st destroying much
valuable property In its course-it then crossed
Wellington ST and was only checked in the lmmc-
date neigh borhood OF the large forwarding stores,
bordering TIE Canal. The ST. Annes English
Episcopalian Church was we regret to say, totally
destroyed, among the first buildings, and toe Mon
real Gas Works on the opposite side OF thestreet
very narrowly escaped. Mr. VIM. Spiers's and
many other extensive wood yards and buildings fell
also before the devouriDg element. The area over
which the fro extended and which is now left one
heap Of sm0lderiag ashes, was very extensive and
so1ld net, we think, have contained under couple
OF hundred houses.
A multitude Of poor persons, by this melancholy
Occurrence, have been deprived Of shelter, apd we
ne happy to learn that the Emigrant Sheds have
been thrown open, and every provision made for
their comfort. 90 far as the emergency permitted.
Since the above was written, we regret TO learn
that an aged woman, named Mrs. Livingston was
burnt 10 death, and that several children are mis-
sing. Mrs. Livingstone remains were found in the
ruins. Montreal Herald, II.

The Southern Crops.

The Savannah Georgian Of the l5th says: We
have received advices from several Of the cotton
srowing districts of our State. Some Of whom
speak n dsparaging terms of the present prospect,
while others seem to anticipate an average amount.
On comparing the different statements, we are led
the conclusion that the crop will fall short of that
d last year.
The Rice fields along the bank of the river present
sbeautiful appearance-there is every prospect of
asood crop.
We have been permitted TO make the following
sx,ract of letter addressed 20 a commercial house
N this city;
FoRT VALLEY, Houston CS. June 5.
The crops ARE dying in this section OF the State,
owing TO the cold weather we have had for some
time The present growing crop promises 20 be
shortos than that Of last year
