BosroN, November Doth Another
large fire is now raging here. 1t broke
out on Cornhill, near the foot of Wash
ington street. Since the great fire fire III
alarms cause great excitement in the
city, and as soon as the flames burst
out tonight great crowds rushed to the
scene and the streets were soon crowd
ed. The fire department was prompt
ly on the spot, but owing to the in
fammable nature of the contents of
the building, their effort have thus far
been unavailing to stop the progress of
the fire. The soldiers on guard around
the ruins of the great fire at once
marched to the scene of conflagration,
and are guarding the street leading to
the burning block.
IL: 80 P. Mn two hours after the
flames broke out on Cornhill street
the progress of the fire was entirely
stayed. The fire originated in the fifth
story of No. 3 Cornhill street, occupied
by Rand IL Avery. The flames spread
rapidly, and the editors and compost
tors of the Boston Pilot, in the story
above, We're barely able to escape with
their lives. The Pilot office, which was
destroyed in the great fire, now suffers
destruction for the second time. Never
theless, the paper will appear from an
other new Office at the regular time to-
morrow. Two stories of the building
were in flames before the arrival of the
Fire Department. Among the prop
erty burnt We're thirty-ive printing
presses of different patterns and sizes
and all the furniture and fixtures of the
large printing Office of Rand Il Avery.
The loss is about 500 900; insured.

Wheel Company's works, spread with

NEW YORK, Nov. ga Heralds
Washington special says the President
to-day will read to the Cabinet COM
plete draft of his message. He has
yielded this year, as he did last, to the
advice of experienced politicians and
changed it's tenor so far as relates to
the South. He gives that section a
passing mention; praises the wisdom
of the enforcement law; alludes to the
disappearance of lawlessness in the
South, as well as good behavior at the
November election, and hopes for a
continuation of this state of affairs.
Although he has no special recommen-
dation to make on behalf of the South,
he desires that Congress shall do what
ever it seems wise in the late rebel
States. Reiterating previous declar-

force against the wish of the people.
The country is felicitated on its accom-
plishments under the Treaty of Wash
ington. Cuba is lightly passed over,
and the case of DIR. Houard receives
but brief mention. Mexico does not
receive large share of attention. Our
relations with different foreign nations
are disposed of with the usual brief
paragraph. The Vienna Exposition is
commended, and the Philadelphia Cen
tennial is also spoken of. Our credit
abroad, the efficient management of our
foreign and home policy, and the pros
perity of the nation, make up the sub
stance of the balance of the message.
