SECOND DISPATCH.
From the Union Extra.
II o'clock 80 minutes, P. NJ.
IL Blocks Burned.
T. O S S S5OO.OOO!!!

This afternoon, about l o'clock,
a fire broke out in this city which
in extent and destructiAeness has
only been surpassed by the terri
bic conflagration Of Nov. I'd, '52.
1t originated in small frame
building in the rear of the Sacra-
mento Hotel, caused, it is said, by
the upsetting of a spirit lamp used
on pot of glue. Other rumors
of various kinds are also in circu-
lation; but we believe the above
to be correct.
The fire Immediately comnShi-
Gated to the kitchen Of the Sacra-
mento Hotel, which faces on X st.
Simultaneously with it's breaking
out in the rear of the hotel, was
the ignition Of the frame buildings
of Boyd & Davis, on the alley be-
tween Sd and 4th sts., and instant
thereafter, the Crescent City Ho-
tel caught, and from this point the
flames rapidly swept up j street
and across to | street.
By the almost superhuman eff
forts of the Fire Companies, it was
prevented from crossing K street.
There is not a single building burn
ed on the south side Of K street,
Or west Of Sd.
But four brick buildings in the
city have been destroyed, and
these would have been saved, had
they been protected by iron shut
ters.
After the fire had crossed j
street, and forced it's way to |
street, the wind increased very
materially, blowing from the south
west, which drove the flames up
the latter street, sweeping every
thing before it up as far as the
court house which was totally con-
sumed. The old congregational
church, was consumed. All the
legal documents, papers and 9TH
er valuables in the court house
were rescued and carried to secure
places.
Many handsome and valuable dwell
ings were consumed. On this street bet.
5th and 9th nearly all the Cinnamon were
located, and not one of their tenements
escaped. In fact there are but two build
ings standing on the uorth side Of l street,
between Sd and 7th.
The burnt district is comprised in the
following limits. although there are many
Fire-proof buildings, and some frames left
standing in the space, described.
K. street, north side from above Sd to
7th. J. street, from above Sd to 7th. Both
sides of 9Th, 5th, 9th and 7th streets, from
K to | streets both sides; street from Sd
to 7th both sides,
No houses Of religious worahip were
except the Congrega tional
Church.
No positive loss Of life, but it Is current
10 rumored that man was preciditated
into the flames when the Church fell in.
Several accidents occurred many were
prostrrted BY a coup de solisl, bu, they are
A man was discovered setting fire to
Garweod's building, on J street, between
5th and 9th, bnt the villain mana ged to
escape. Many large and valuable stocks
Of Goods were destroyed. on | street.
