BosToN, Feb. 25.
The fire last night was among the most
disastrous that ever occurred. 1t ragged from
10 p. NJ. till 3 A. NJ, the wind blowing a
furious gale from the north west, with
binding snow and hail storm at the
time. Two fremen were killed and one
badly wounded. The entire range of build
ings on Sargent's wharf, the buildings on
the north side Of Eastern Avenue from Com
mercial street to Water street, including the
z. Boston old ferryi slip and the large 4
story building known as the Eastern Ex-
change Hotel, are among the property des-
troyed.
Five vessels at the wharf were lowed out
and saved. During the night the large tow
er OF the r. G. Church in East Boston, was
blown down, demolishing the smaller tower
in its fall.
Among the losses by FIRE were 1000 bales
of cotton and SO, 200 bushels of corn, and
The total loss will reach $3.50, 900.

is left at Manassas many of the re-enllsted
men have gone home on furloughs for 60
days.
Sec. Stanton granted a furlough Of 80

McCall's Penn. Reserves, will soon be en-
camped at Centreville.
From r~ecOnnoisanccs made it is apparent
that the rebels are concentrating a large
force on the hills opposite Gen. lIooker's

toned IN Yesterdays despatch, were returned
to Craney Island this morning and sent back
to Norfolk.
1t is believed in Norfolk that the city

The intention to make an attempt to run
the blockade by the MeIrimac is not given
up. 1t was thought she might make her
appearance here within a week. Every
preparation has been madc and standing
orders given for her reception.
Notwithstanding that the Merrimac is a
failure the Latest information received is that
200 men are at work on her and that con-
siderable quantities OF shot and shell are 60
ing on board of her.
Another French gunboat arrived lastnight
There are row four vessels in the Roads.

are Justly regarded as the greatest
