The Great Fire i'm NIontreaI.-Loss OF half
"A million PrOpcrty.

"a million OF Property.
The Montreal Courier brings the following
particulars of the great fire which occurred in that
city on Saturday last:
''The fire which broke out in the loft of a stable,
occupied by Mr. Shepherd, on the premises of the
widow of the late Mr.. James Turner. in Craig
street, was without doubt the work of an incendi
airy, for told that a lady living in one of the
houses opposite saw man escaping over the high
fence of Mrs. Turner's yard, just as the alarm of
fire given.
"The torch once applied, from the combustible
material Of the sheds and stables theInselves-the
loft, too, being full of hay-the flames rose with
wonderful ierceness and rapdity, and almost inn
mediately communicated to the rear of the prem
Uses in ST. URBAN street, occupied by Mr.. George
Armstrong, cabinet maker, completely destroying
them in few minutes, and with them the whole Of
his furniture, stock in trade tools and clothes the
inmates escaping III their hight dresses. The wind
being in contrary direction, the fire did not COM
municate TO any OF the opposite houses in ST. Ur-
balm street, but spread with great fury in the di-
rection Of the ST. Lawrence Main street, sweeping
away every house the north side OF Craig street,
from ST. Urbain street TO Perraulps buildings with
two solitary exceptions-the houses OF Mr.. Fabrc,
the mayor of the city, and of Mr.. Bertholct.
"With one remarkable exception, small wood
en- house in st. Charles Barromee street, and an
other in court at its rear, with the houses between
that and the corner OF Nitrc street, every house is
destroyed in the space bounded by Craig street on
the SOUTH Wire street on the NORTH ST. Urban street
the west, and Perraults buildings on the east
the great majority OF these houses being substantial
stone brick buildings, let at high rents, and oc-
cuped by respectable people, Among the houses
and premises destroyed on Craig street, those
in the occupation Of MIR. James Mason, whose son
was shot from Mr.. Lafontaine's window last year
with the whole of his stock, except his horses and
the carriages put up there, which were rescued with
difficulty.
"rhe fire broke out at about half past 10 at night
and its progress not stayed till near four in the
morning. The value of the property consumed may
be estimated, including movables, at from eighty
to hundred thousand pounds"
