BUILDING FIRES.

The extraordinary fire at Quebec is just such
another terribly illuminated chapter as the recent one
at Portland on the danger of building up cities with
wooden houses 1t is not the first time that the Can
adam city has been similarly visited. Two OF three
large fires consuming hundreds Of houses have,
we believe, appeared there within FIVE years,
and, Judging by the facts, possibly no city
on the continent of equal size has been
more liable 10 the scourge of fire. At its
worst and fercest trial Quebec like Portland found
itself helpless, though warning must have been FREE
quent in the number Of wooden towns in Canada
and Maine which have within near memory been
DESTROYED. Ii il were not generally understood
that many Of our towns further north are
almost entirely of wooden construction, the
commences Of great fires in that region would be
surprising But it happens 10 be just the quarter
where the disasters of great towns meet with no
mercy from the elements. Wind and fame conspre
with every wooden house TO make It's destruction
inevitable.
The fire in Quebec ragged for several days, and IL
nothing else had been told the bare recital oil It's
progress directly suggests the acceerating cause oil
calamity 80 wide spread In its early stage three sep
arate fires which had, doubtless, caught from each
other owing TO the easily inhammable character OF
wood, were to be discerned in different directions.
By the end Of the day $500 houses had been burned,
and 1900 families rendered homeless This
vast exploit of flame could not have been accomplished
sooner That Che destruction was speedy and awful
was no doubt because the material Of the fire was
already so we'll adapted TO the flame that it, architects
aud owners must have served, whether willing not,
all the purposcof praciced ncendares. On the vast
calamity of the thousands who have suffered by the
fire but one sermon should be preached-tbat Of in
exhausble charity to all deprived Of house and home.
But certainly the fire itself has read an awful lecture
on the peril Of building fires.

oup FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE.

Foreign correspondence has become one of the
most important it is certainly among the most IN
terestinr departments of modern newspaper Gtera-
ture. There is vast amount of talent Of very
high order employed on this branch of journalism;
and peopie nacquainted with the details of newspa-
per management can form no idea of the heavy out
Law which leading daily incurs in securing regu-
lar supply of those generally entertaining epistlcs
from Special Correspondents which are by most
readers perused with so lively relish In this de-
partment, we make bold to say The TRIBUNE, is
surpassed by no paper of the age, either in
this country or in Europe. We have reg
ular correspondents in almost every part OF
the civilized world, furnishing us with correct
accounts of every movement and event oil national
importance of special interest to the great human
family; and our occasional correspondence such as
letters of travel are not inferior to the best productions
of the kind in the European press Ihat large class
of tourists known as Fireside Travellers" may ma
ample entertainment in pages so various are the
countries and the which our Kaleidoscope coreS
pondence brings before them Moscow, with Its curious
mixture of Western civilization, and Oriental man
ners and customs; Paris the city of pleasure, and the
center of European diplomacy; London, with It's teem
ino nonulatop and its vast Industrial and commercial
|
enterprise and activity Vienna, with its naughty
aristocracy and its splendid court; Berlin, lumined
for all time with the renown Of the great Frederick
Florence and Milan, memorable alike for their
medieval associations and their connection with those
stormy scenes of which modern Italy has been the
Theater; Constantinople, where effete Mohammed-
ism struggles in vain against the aggressive spirit OF
Christian civilization; all these as so many sources,
ip,ar
New World too contributes its share from the passes
of the Rocky Mountains down to the shores OF distant
Chilli Our correspondence deals with the vital issues
Of the day; it aims at rejecting faithfully the living
manners as they rise; and as whole, it will be
found valuable repertory of information on matters
social and political To those who may not have
given it hitherto the attention it deserves we promise
an ample reward in its careful perusal.

TERRIBLE FIRE In QUEBEC.
Nearly $500 Houses Destroyed, and $4,000
Persons Rendered Homeless.


QUEBEC, Monday, Oct Is 80
At clock yesterday morning fire began the house
of Mr. Trudel grocer st. Josephs near the Jacques
Carter Market Owing to the early hour Of the morning
few people were about The wind which had blown half
gale from the east all night had slightly ssated but still
continued with such violence to cause serious appre
tensions, which were afterward unfortunately realized
BY the time the fire brigade reached the Trudes
house enveloped in flames The sappers already
there but there delay in laying the hose and
getting sufficient water which not remeded for near
y an hour. Meantime the fire made rapid progress no
than 10 ~ houses on fire. and the lumber and
wooden sheds all sides ignited. By 81 O'Clock 80
houses, all built of wood in blaze. The flames.
driVen by the wind, were spreading in all direc-
TONS At 81 80 houses we're consumed.
The ire by this time had along St. Joseph aud Notrs
Dame dos Angesss to the junction Of st. Yaerst car
ryng everything before it, The church OF La Congrcsa-
ton stood in great danger but sudden veerng Of tho
wind saved it. Crossing ST. Vaer-st the FIRE soon after
ward spread into St Saviour and among hundreds Of
wooden houses ragged with defiant fury. House after
house fell prey 10 the flames 1t thought that the
houses to the eastward would be saved but the fire cept
back continuing its work of destruction At IL O'Clock
the whole center of the district lying between st. Saviour
and the lower streets running parallel with the river was
chared and barren waste, and having nothing to feed on
there, the conaagraton distributed itself opposite d.
recons, the wind increasing again. ard blowing in guss
from every direction. Three separate confagstions
were observable at time. st. Saviour Church.
Dunn's soap and candle factory Riess rope walk
and other large buildings were in flames.
Along St. Vaierst toward the tolgate and the streets
surrounding the General Hospital and Convent another
terrible fire raging with greater fury while at the
back of Crown-st, along Prince Edwards Jesuit and
Rardsts the flames creeping back and envelopins
street after street in spite of the almost superhumsn
ertions of the soldiers and the Of the Aurora The
confagration ceased at about o'clock when there
nothing more for it to feed moderate computation
places the number of houses destroyed at $500 and tho
loss of real property at from e. 900 to s3OOOOOc The
number of persons rendered homeless is estimated at
$4,000 The body Of man, burned almost to a crisp
dragged out of house in St. Saviour, near ST. Vaert,
1t could not be identified Sergeant Hughes of the Royal
Artillery blown up and badly though not dangerously
burned Lieut. Douglas of the Aurora was severely hunt
