Tho San Francisco cona.sra,,on.

We had some hopes yesterday that the esti-
mated loss Of property by the great fire in San
Francisco might be found exaggerated, and that
the actual loss might be perhaps million and
a half. The following despatch. however, pub
lished in the Baltimore Patriot of yesterday
evening, confirms the first account; besides Civ
ing information of another destructive fire in
California:
New ORLEANS, June IA The steamship Alaba
ma arrived yesterday from Vera Cruz, with four
days later news from California, which came by
the way of Acapulco.
Nearly the whole of San Francisco is in ashes
and every newspaper Office, except the Alta Cali
ornia, is destroyed. The loss is estimated at from
twelve to sixteen millions Of dollars.
A great fire had also occurred at Stockton, do
stroying property to the value Of more than mil

IPaEsIpEST FuLMoRE's MESSAGE.
1.-The Presidents message, at the opening ofthe
present session of Congress, expresses fully and
plainly his own and the unanimous opinion Of all
those associated with him in the Executive admin
istration Of the Government, in regard TO what
are called the Adjustment or Compromise mea-
sures of last session. That opinion is, that those
measures should be regarded in principle as
a inalsettement of the dangerous and exciting
subjects which they embrace; that though they
were not free from imperfections, yet, in their
mutual dependence and connexion, they formed
"a system of compromise the most conciliatory
and best for the entire country that could be OBJ
tanned from conflicting sectional interest and
Opinions, and that therefore they should be ad-
'hered to, until time and experience should de-
nonstrate the necessity of further Legislation tc
guard against evasion or abuse. That opinion, sc
ta- as know, remains entirely unchanged, and
will be acted upon steadily and decisively. The
peace OF the country requires this the security OF
the Constitution requires this; and every consde-
ration of the public good demands this. If the
Administration cannot stand upon the principles
ofthe message, it does notexpect to stand at all

At the rate of 81 a. the gross. In 1880. they had
fallen to eight shillings; and, in 1882, to six sh
lingo the gross. One factory alone, in Birming-
ham, produces them at the rate Of no less than
forty thousand gross, or six million seven hundred
and sixty thousand in week-ver nearly mil

five hundred and twenty eight thousand per an

duces ono thousand million por annum. The

The sheets OF steel received from Sheffield are
reduced to the required tensy by successive tran
sits through the rolling mill operations, tended by
men and boys Then reduced to the thinness of

punching out the blanks. This process is per-
formed with worry great rapidity. one girl of ave-
rage industry and dexterity being able to punch
out about one hundred gross day. The next ope-
ration is to place the blanks in concave die, ON
which slight touch from q convex picce produces
