Awful Petroleum Fire I'm Antwerp
Thousands Of Barrels OF Oil LIZ.
nited-Terrilic EXpiOsiOns-Stream
Of Flaming PetrOIeun-Immcn
nos<ructiou Of prOnerty.

Destruction OF properly.
A fire broke out in the city Of Antwerp
ON Friday morning the 10th instant, and
mn to the latest adviccs in London was still
raging tremendously. A London paper
thus describes the con1agration
The extent of property in buildings and
merchandise at present consumed is rough
" calculated at 100000 to 1900, 900.
The fire broke out at about O'Clock on
Friday morning in some merchants stores
situate in the Place de Walborgo, kind
of square fronting the quay, and known as
the commercial ncighborhood of Antwerp.
The buildings were chiefly lofty ware
houses, filed with merchandise of every de-
scription, while in the basement stretched
extensive vaults filled with some thousand
barrels of petroleum oil and to the latter
may be attributed the dreadful cone-
uucnces that have bcfallen the city. The
first range of warehouses attacked were
the three belonging to NJ. Dennis Hane,
and by noon the whole of them were in
blaze from end to end.
| 1t there reached a magazine or depot
where there was stored some ten thousand
| barrels of petroleum. The local tiremen,
police, and military strove every exertlon
to stay its progress, and succeeded in roll
ing a great many barrels ont of the buAd-
ing on to the quay, but the explosions and
vehement fury of the flames compelled
| them to retreat. During the whole day
and night and following day the conliagra-
ton swept on with terrific force. The fam
| ing petroleum from the stores in question
poured out in a stream and flowed down
| into the range of vaults above alluded to,
where the larger quantity of petroleum was
deposited, and which was all along so much
dreaded. The fire then increased in mag
nitudc tcnfold, and explosions that follow
ed shook the whole city, and brought down
many houses, while many people are re-
ported to have been killed.
The force of the explosions blew in the
brick-work of the sewers, into which the
burning petroleum flowed, and by that
means found its way into a good many
houses in Rue da Saa's, and in many other
streets in the locality. The military drove
the people out to place Of safety. Among
the buildings that were subsequently con-
sumcd were the Hotel de Coburg, the
bonded stores known as the <Great Swan
and Little Swan, and 4 series of others Of
commercial character. The engines that
were brought into play were perfectly in
adequate to contend against so awful q
fire. There was only one steam fire en-
CINE there, and that belonged to private
firm at Antwerp. Most Of the London fire
offices have large assurances on the con-
sumed property.

REvoLrTIoNARr FRANcE."-John Nit

Ne,rs, says:

adieu to the Rhine frontier and 10 many
other good things. For nothing is more orr.

Poisoned BY FLouR.-Within a radius
of five miles of Phillipsburg, n. Y, during
the months of February, March, and April
last, one hundred and fifty cases of ALARM
ing sickness occurred, attacking in some
instances all the members of family at
the same time, and Enthusiastically indica-
ting the presence of an active poison. In
vestigation at last detected small particles
of lead in the flour made at mill in the
vicinity, but not in sufficient quantity to
account for the extent and violence of the
disease. At the late session of the Phar-
maceutical Association at Detroit, Mr.. King
presented paper on the subject, express,
ing the opinion that The carbonic acid
generated in fermentation and acting on
the fine particles of lead produced most
poisonous salt, well known to chemists.
This, at any rate, furnishes an ample expla-
nation Of the whole affair.

General BUTLER cannot rest he is ever
on the rampage. lie has just made
another speech, in which he says the men
of the Philadelphia Convention did not do
the fighting in the late war, and have no
right to do the settling now. Does he
mean to screen himself on this ground ::
that because he did not fight he has no
right to "settle - This is question in
which many honest men who have lost
spoons, and forks, and plate are deeply in
