Our neighboring town Of Downieville was al
most totally destroyed by fire on Friday eve
ming last. The following particulars of the
conHagration, and list Of losses were furnished
to the Marysville Ezpyss, by LangtOn 4 Co:
At 6 o'clock P. N. on New Years day, . FIRE
broke out in the st. Charles Hotel, on Main st.,
and in one and half hours Main st., as far up
as the upper plaza, together with Bridge st. and
Commercial st., as far as the Methodist Church,
was blackened pile Of ruins The Court House
and dwellings on Dugan Flat were saved by
great exertions; also. the upper portion Of Main
st. The new Congregational Church and the
Fraternity Hall, both new and valuable public
buildings, were amoRg those destroyed. The
church was really an ornament, and the less
comes particularly severe OH that society. The
Hall was large, and the joint property of the
Odd Fellows and Masons, and erected at cost
Of near $4,000. The Sierra Citizen was pub
lished in the frat Atory of Fraternity Hall, and
was wholly destroyed. The basement was oc-
cupied as an arnory by the National aud Sierra
Guards Their arms and equipments we're de-
stroyed. The Sierra Democrat was published in
Andrews Block, near the Jersey or Commercial
street bridge, aud Was alse q total loss with the
exception perhaps Of few cases Of type. The
Methodist Church Was saved by tearing down
two Of the buildings nearest it, and by the al
most supsrhunan efforts Of those engaged; by
which meEns, the valuable private buildings sit
uated on the upper end Of Commercial street
were saved The Catholic Church was on fire
several times and was saved with difficulty, as
also the dwelling hOuse. of S. A. Langton, which
WAS within few yards OF one hundred kegs Of
powder when it exploded. The powder was the
property Of Eastman d Co. The explosion was
heard distinctly fifteen miles. Although the
air was almost filed with timbers and fragments
at one time, yet strange to say, no very serious
accident occurred. A. s. Haxter had his arm
broken. and several others had lesser bruises
from the same cause. A tender Of aid was gen.
erously prOffered by the citizens OF Forest City,
which reached Us whilst the fire was yet raging.
The losses by the FIRE arc as follows

THK LsGIsIATURE.-We have not been able
to obtain for publication any report of the
proceedings of the Legislature, which met on
Monday. The telegraph was not in working
order yesterday, and the Sacramento stage,
by which the proceedings Of Monday were re-
ceived, did not arrive until late. The two
Houses were doubtless fully organized yester-
day, and Gov. Johnson's Message will probably
be up ts-night. Gov. Weller's Inaugural which
ID looked for with much interest, may be ex-
pectsd tomorrow or next day. We received
note last evening from one of our Assembly
men, stating that Whtsside of Yuba would pro.
badly be elected Speaker; Scoby Of Placer,
Clerk; Moore Of El Dorado. Sergeant-at-Arms,
and A. F. Wagner Of Nevada, Dsorksepsr Of
The Senate.

Other losses estimated at $25, 900; making u
total of $4s9, 600.
Immediately on the receipt Of the intelligence
in this place subscription was taken up for
the benefit of the sufferers, and between four
and five hundred dollars collected. Judge
Searls and l. Williamson, Esq, started up with
the money on Saturday night, and arrived in
DOwnievils on Sunday. They got back to Ne
vada on Tuesday morning. and report that there
is no fear Of any immediate suffering by the
citizens of that place for want Of provisions A
considerable quantity Of provisions had been
stored ia fre-proof cellars, aud in warehouses
little out Of town, which were saved. The
exertions Of the charitable and humane, how
ever, should not slacken. Downieville is loca-
ted high up in tho mountains, and as the win
ter has now fairly set in, it will be difficult and
expensive to get provisions to that point, to re-
place that portion of the winter stock destroyed
We are happyto learn that our former towns-

moved to Downievills, was not among the suf
