The State House Bell.

The new bell in the State House steeple,
which has been declared would not make q
sound sufficiently loud enough, is now said
to be all right, according to the following,
from yesterdays "Bulletin:''
The new bell in the State House steeple
was struck yesterday with a much heavier
hammer than that which has been used
hitherto, and the result was the production
of deep, rich tone of kind that seemed
70 us very satisfactory. This experiment
indicates that there is no defect in the bell,
as has been alleged, but it will fulfil all tho
hopes of the founders and the donor when
it is snitten with sufficient force.

DISASTROUS FIRE.
A Quebec Suburb Burned.
OEse Thousand Houses Destroyed.
FIRST DESPATCH.

FIRST DESPATCH.
QUEBEC, MAY 3O-Fire started in Scott street
at 2 o clock today, aud is now raging Fifty
houses are already destroyed. Efforts of the
fremen appear useless, aud owing to the pre-
valling high wind and amount of lnf1ammable
material in the neghborhood, it is feared the
greater part of tie St Louis suburb will be de-
stroyed.
SECOND DESPATCH.
6 P. M.-The fire continues to rage with uI-
abated fury. Already the houses destroyed are
counted by hundreds. Almost the whole pop
uation of the lower part of St. Louis subui BIS
are moving, and hundreds of poor, unfortunate
sufferers will be compelled TO pass the night in
the open fields. Thousands of people are on
the streets viewing the fire. The water was
turned off from the ward when the fire started +,
which will account for the rapid spread. The
Asylum of Good Shepherds is now out of dan
ger.
THIRD DESPATCH
The fire which broke out in Scott street at 2
p. M is now burning fercely but is somewhat
under control. The high wind of the afternoon
has moderated and good supply ofwater is
now available The fire has passed through
the centre of st Lons sububs extending from
the extensive western limit to the eastern limit.
facing the ortifications, then southerlo to
Grand Alice and nOrtherly to Sd street, south
of St. John street. Only rough estimate of
the loss can be made to night. The
number of houses buried may be
put down at 1,eO0 and the loss at least ST.
100000, Fields adjacent to the burnt district
are covered with goods of all descriptions and
hundreds of poor sufferers will be compelled to
pass the night without shelter. Scott street,
where the fire originated, bears unenviable no.
tOriety for fires, having been almost wholly de-
stroyed twice within few years.
