The corner building, formerly occupied

$500 in the Merchants, Philadelphia.

DR.. j. B. Ware, in a room in Adams
building, lost his clothing, port monte,
&c, making loss of some $50.
The buildings in the rear, attached to
the Catholic church, were somewhat dam
aged. But not extensively.
This conaagration is the most extern
,lye with which our city has ever been
Visited. The buildings in this row we're
all new, and only three tenements unoc-
cupied, and the damage thus occasioned
falls heavily upon those engaged in bus
mess.
The distance from the river, and the
utter impossibility Of getting water at any
other place, rendered it very difficult for
the engines to keep upa continued stream
OF water, and the fire had so far advanced
when the water began to play upon it,
that to hold the flames in partial check,
was all that could be accomplished.
The Western No. from Rock Island
came over, also the Hook and Ladder Com
pany, but not in season to save but one
building.
The loss of property was probably not
one fifth covered by insurance. This is
partly owing to the neglect of parties to
get their property insured, and partly be-
cause it was bad property to insure, and
many gents were afraid to take risks.
Republication Manifested.
