Yesterday morning violent shower visited oul
city and the country adjacent, which, by advices
received at this Office up to late hour last night
has done immense damage to private property on
the side Of the HILL and the crops in the
try. The rain poured down in torrents, and the
foundations Of several houses between Vine street
and Walnut Hills road were uL determined, and the
residents, fearing their houses would fall down,
have been compelled to remove. One small brick
house, owned by Henry Fincke, gave way and fell
with tremendous crash. The inmates, who had
received notice by the cracking Of the walls, that
there was danger nigh, had timely removed their
furniture and themselves to a neighboring house,
and thus escaped.
The Short Line Railway Company sustained much
damage near the mouth Of the Tunnel by the wash
ing in of the embankments and covering up Of
stone work already done. The damage will be up
wards Of $4,000. The bridge crossing the creek
near Beresfords slaughter house was also washed
away, and the piers on which the bridge rested. In
the country, fields Of corn were Frustrated and
fences washed away. The extent of damage is not
certainly known, but is undoubtedly great. In the
city proper the heavy rains were beneficial in wash
ing down the cutters, cleansing the lanes, alleys and
streets Of the filth which had greatly accumulated.
The river rising rapidly, and Licking river
pecially poured out very heavy stream. Last
evening our river men were much pleased with the
prospects OF rise.

From the Quebec Chronicle, Sept. IA.
boy, it is said, living in the house Of Mr.. John
Gibln, grocer, Pres de-Ville, having left candle
burning in his bedroom, when he went to sleep,
fire broke cut there this morning. at two o'clock,
which has proved lamentably disastrous. Between
fifteen and twenty houses have been completely de-
stroyed. Among the sufferers are:-
Mr. Dawson, blacksmith; Mr. John JONES' timber tower;
Mr.. John Giblin, grocer Mr.. James OBrien, tavern
keeper Mr. Jas. O'Nei, shoemaker; Mr. Jas. Anderson
stevtdore; Mr.. jose ph McLusky, kbofer; Mr.. William
McQuilken moulder Mr. VIM Berry, tavern Keeper; Mr..
John Barrie grocer Mr. Richard Coughlin grocer Mrs.
Bckel, grocer Mr.. VIM. Woods, rigger Mr.. Quinn,
tavern keeper; Mr.. Mcvey, tavern keeper.
The fire commenced at Mr.. Giblin's on the river
side of the street. and the flames were communicated
to the houses on the wharf. The fire then crossed
the street, completely destroying the roof of Mr..
Qunn's house, and running down through five two
story brick houses, on one side, and seven OF the
same class Of buildings on the other as far as
the house occupied by Mr.. Jas. McVey, tavern
keeper, which belongs to Mrs. Martin where it was
ultimately extinguished. The scene of disaster is
wretched to look upon. Many Of the front walls
have fallen down, and the street is almost impassa
BILE by reason of bricks, spouts and broken furni-
ture. There is not even the walls of Mr. Giblins
house standing. Nearer town, contiguous to the
burnt district, at the promontory, where there
no houses either side OF the road heaps of furni
ture, bedding, &C., are piled up, watched by some
poor women, looking miserable enough on account
OF their distressed condition.

Supreme Court--SpeciaI.
Before Hon. Judge Mitchell,

THE PROPOSED NEW CENTRAL PARK.
SRPT 17.-In the matter of the Central Park-A great
array of counsel appeared in court
the property holders interested in this matter.
shs Dop W Counsel moved that Augustus
West be appointed Commissioners Of Estimate and As
sessment in the opening Of tie Central Park between
avenues.
Mr.. Richard Mott, upon the application Of VIM B As
tor and Others representing wards of thirty millions
of property, moved to have jeremiah Towe appointed
one Of the commissioners
sentipg other property holders also moved for the ap
pointment Of other commissioners.
Mr. Noyes suggested that under the act which author
lied the corporation to take all this land for park in
cluding the upper receiving reservoir some ffy-fve
scres and reservoir OF twenty blocks In progress
Of being made the State arsenal and for ought he knew
would be difficult to open this park nasmush 1t would
conflict with all these properties and the for which
Mr. Mott said that the law stood the whole expense
Of the land taken 10 be paid for by the corporation
Immediately on the commissioners report being con.
hrmtd, without making any provisions to reimburse
themselves except by the land benefited
and by issuing Eve cent stock to meet the deficiency
FIVE or six millions Of dollars it would be difficult for
the city to meet this payment at the time required by
law, asit would take at least four five months to
collect the assessments and perhaps longer time to
raise the money by five per cent. stock. He Mr. Mott
said that he believed it to be fact that the estate
OF the city was morgaged to the sinking fund.- and that
they can only issue bonds in anticipation Of the city rev.
enue.
lbe Court observed that these serious questions
and he would like to hear them argued at future dsy
He thought might lead to suspension Of the nomin
ton OF commissioners until the Legislature had rectided
obstacles that appear otherwise the matter would be
involved in ihextIicahe difficulty.
Mr. Sanford moved that the matter should be post.
poped in order to give time for fling siayts and ooec.
tons to the parties proposed as com,nssioneIs
Mr.. Dillon thought the Court had right to make an
order excluding from the Park the two and the
State property.
The Court tEen ordered that the nominate be filed
with the Clerk before the Gath inst aud objections
thereto fled with the clerk before the Wednesday
folowitg at ~ O'clock aud the further hearing OF tie
matter postponed till next Friday week.
