mouth Square, as far as Bush street, (three
in number, are in ashes between Bush,
Jackson, Kearney and Montgomery streets,
FIVE it number, are all burned between
Montgomery and Lawson stS., five in number,
are all down. Besides these thirteen blocks,
almost every building is destroyed. 1t is
impossible TO guess at the number of build
ings, or the amount of property destroyed );
/ 900 buildings are within the range Of truth.
We Judge S1O,000,0OO could not replace
the destruction some place it at three times
that amount.
Three fourths of the business part of the
City is destroyed. The principal buildings
are the Custom House, Union Hotel, Parker
House, Jones Hotel, Adelphi Theatre, Dram
attic Museum, National, New World, City Ho-

lean Hotel and Revere House. The Pacific
mail steamship Co.'S coal was burned Not
house is left on Devsdess street, nor any
thing on either side of Long Wharf to the
Battery and White Hall. Scarcely fire proof
building in the burnt district has stood the
| test such as have are the California Ex-
change, Ell Dorado, Verandah, and build
ings of Capt Howard, of which was the U. S.
Assaying Office of Moffat u Co., The Off
GERS of the custom house saved the specie of
the Office, by casting it in a well. About a
million of dollars were saved in this way.

containing 1000 tons of merchandise, was

singed or damaged The fire swept every
thing down, on the eastern side of Keaney

The Alto California of late date says
Measures have been taken to supply the City
with water from tank near three miles from
it. A proposition has been laid before the
City Councils by Mr.. Merrifeld, and was
to be acted on May 18th, and if favorable,

building the burnt district, and the buildings
were going up in all directions.
REBUILDING OF THE CITY.
From the San Francisco Herald we learn
that they are rebuilding the city, which is
alive with workmen engaged in rebuilding
the burnt district. The Alto California
gives the following astonishing incidents of
the recuperative energy of San Francisco.
From Monday the 9th, when the fire ceased,
up to the present time, May 18th, an interval
of 10 days, 357 buildings have been COM
menced, the major part are finished; this is
exclusive of the many that are going up in
other parts of the city, not touched by fire
Including them, the total number of houses
completed or erecting throughout the city,
will not fall short Of four hundred and fifty.
The newspaper, "The Public Balance" has
ceased its publication and will not appear to-
day. The Picayune Office was entirely de-
stroyed there was nothing saved. The True
Standard shared the same disaster tits ma
king efforts 10 re-appear on Monday. The
Pacific and Herald, though great losers, made
their appearance on Wednesday.
EARTHQUAKE AT SAN FRANCISCO.
On the morning of the 18th of May, the
shock of an Earthquake was felt at San Fran
cisco, which lasted nearly one minute. San

MARKETS.
The San Francisco markets were quite mn
settled by the destruction of property by the
fire the quantity of breadstuffs destroyed was
not so large as ofmany other articles Flour
has an upward tendency. Hanell's and Gal
lego's brands are in good demand. There
! is little change in Barley, Oats, Corn or
Beans, the stock being good.
Immense quantities of fshoes were destroy
cd, and the demand is likely to be good
Bricks are in demand at good prices, rang

slightly improved and is firm.
The stock of provisions is heavy and the
prices improved but little. Mess pork $S16,

sales. Metals have improved, particularly
