teen fireeheineA have been playing upon
the burning buildings without cessation,
and the effect Is at last visibe-in the dim
mutton Of the conilagration.
The prompt action of the city au.
thorities IN blowing up buildings
in the ont skirts of the fire has doubt
less been the means Of saving the
city from greater part of the
destruction. The steamers still continue
TO play upon the business buildings pre-.
venting any further spread of the flames.
The progress made by the fire during the
4 first two or three hours of its existence was
something Unprecedented. Leaping from
house to house, and street to street, the
flames encompassing an area little short of
square, and comprising some of the finest
buildings in the city. The spectacle pre-
sented by some Of the larger buildings
when the fire was at IFS height, was grand
hut terrible, The columns Of fire and
sparks rising above the buildings gave forth
q terrible heatthe smoke and emberp blown
by the wind being sufiocating and danger
Gus. At times immense sheets of flame
would shoot up and cast its brilliant glare
over the city for miles around. The light
of the confaeralion was seen at Plymouth,
distance ~ fifty.six miles The destr,ic-
ton Of buildings by gunpowder began M
early as three O'clock The first explosion
shook the city to its foundations, and many
who were ignorant Of the real cause were
apprehensive that something terrible had
happened. The next took place about
11:l5 A. NJ, when one entire block on the
corner Of Devonshire and Summer streets
was exploded, with terrific noise, and the
flying fragments and masaes Of falling tim
ber and masonry, created great caution in
order to escape injury. Numbers began
moving their goods, from their stores, and
deposited them in places of safety, placing
guards to watch them; but notwithstanding
this latter precaution immense thetts were
effected.
The police have arrested large num-
Der of thieves.
