About one O'clock this afternoon n fire broke out
IN this city, xhich, in extent and dseructiveness
ton of November 2. 1852. There werc fortunately
three favorable prevailing II nding TO prevent
the spread Of the fomss. Wis., little wind, hreproo
buildings, and IN sbnonance OF water. The latter
nruue stiouably, the means OF saving the bette
portion Of the city. The fire ignited In small
frame BUILDING In the centre of the block boundc,
by Sc, j. dh and X sheets Ii is said that she fin
was caused by the up-etsng Of spir,t.lamp unde
a pot of glue In the rear of Newcombs furnitur
warehouse. Other rumors Of various kinds are ais'
in circulation, but We believe the above to be cor
rect. Owing TO the combustible nature OF tn,
material, the fire Immediately communicated tt
the kitchen Of the Sacramento Fl ,tc, which faces
