THE FIRE IN PHILADELPHIA.
Wa publishad yeitorday sonic account oftlto
fire which was. nt the dale of our leefatlviree,
raging in Philadelphia. Uclaw we give the
particular., Iiom llto Nalwmd Gazcelte oft;.,
Saturday afternoon. Wo regrot to perceive that
literal litu were hit.
About I I o'clock last night a fire wa. di,cov.
havef cred it! the be».inaut etory of W J. StrouD’s

ami reached the adjoining provision .lore of D
W. I re.cotl. 1 hie house wit. built hack to Wa.
ter «t., facing No 19 on that etreet In the same
r»". 6 o tho .loro of Geo Mot rill took firo immo-
dialuly afterward*.
Although tho Fire Companies were promptly
on the ground, tho progre.. of tho flume, were
.0 rapid 1 lint the pro.puctornrre.iing them we.
even at that early hour, vory douhiful. The

Andrew M J ono. and Urmhera, the office of
tho Merchant. Iran.portetiou Line, end the
geueia! Commission warehouse ofC. King tfc
Co. No 19 were euccceefiilly enveloped in the
flu mo*. r
I ho tavorn kept by Geo Neuli* was next at.
tacked,and thence the firo communicated to the
large oil warehouse of Shober, Burning & Co
No 21. extending through to Water hi. At tin*
pumt the conflagration heenmo terrific. Thu
ship Chandlery of A H Hinkle No 22 South
Wharves, and the cotnmistdnn warehouse* of
Nowbtfld & Ilavorslick and of Smith & John,
son were in HucceMsioii consumed.
Here the fire reached tlm corner of Chcsnut
sf. Returning to Water**!., adjacent to Air.
Prescott's store, the fire is traced to John Hard
ing, Jr's.;extensive wholesale grocery CKtab-
lishineiit. No. 17; thenca to a very large whole
sale grocery or White. Stevens & Co.. No- 21,
and the •toreliousn of the same firm, 23; llteiico
to Sloan s general comininsion.warehoiiia, No.
25, and thence the largo fireipronf store-house,
occupied by W. R- Thompson A Co. Next to
this building stood the Fulton Hoiire, kept by
J. Meyer* ut the corner of Water and Chesnut
ut*., which with nil tho houses above mentioned
were utterly destroyed. The buildings on the
opposite or west side of the s:i«j| then took fire.
In this range wero Win. R. Thompson & Co’s-
storehouse, (a second building occupied by that
fiini;) tlm Hibernian Tavorn kept by J. Fitzi
patriot, and uetween the latter und Chcsnut-st.
three houses occupied its clothing stores, tho
names of thn owners nf which wo could not
learn. At the northwest corner of Water and
Ciiesiiut sts., the clothing store of uGasktll A
Barnes was next consumed.
From tho rear of the latter row of buildings
the fire communicuted with thosu facing on tliu
oust side af Front-st. There Wm. Steel's
starch factory, No. 27. was partially injured;
Davis’ suspender manufactory, No, 29; and S,
gable and daring exertions nf the fliumcn had
reduced the flames, attd further destruction of
property censed tu be apprehended. It if itir
possible to commend, in terms too ardent ot
grateful, tho labors of the firemen on thi* occa
sion, When they had ho opportunity of work
ing at tlw engines or peiforming other duties,
they got dray a and carta in the ncigltbo.hood,
loaded them with goods mid furniture, an J drag
ged them with infinite toil to places of secure
deposit.
Tti* Mayor and tho whole body of watchmen
were oil the ground, protecting the property
scattered about tho streets, and preserving order
among tho thousands of spectators who tin
•d to tho disastrous scenu.
The amount of properly of various kinds thus
destroyed, it is impossible to estimate with pro*
codon, hut it may bo reasonably staled at about
$000,009. This loss is most untimely. Nevor.
we learn, have the merchant* of this city stood
more in need of regular nnd prosperous trade.
The extensive warehouse of David S. Brown,
Commission Merchant, we omitted to mention
above among tho buildings slightly injured. AI.
though greatly oxpoHud, it was saved by the iiho
of wet hlnnketsnn tha roof and in the windows.
The most painful portion of this recital yet
remain*. Several, toe know not how many have
been killed or seterly tooundeil. At eight o'clock
thi* morning the wall* of Enoch Alhtn's house
fell with a tremendous crash, and buried in tlm
luiti* as wa learn positively, n liremnu named
W. AJorelnnd, a member or the Good Will Eli*
fiino. He was instantly killed. Others it is
feared were nl*o tnorla'ly hurt. Two of the
wounded were carried to the hospital.
Jun^(l*^ Wm u ^** n5l,,aw » wa* severely in-
4'aines Smiley, o membor of the Diligent Hose
/Company, full into a burning cellar, and had
his head much cut and his hand* burned.
James Barber and John Dougiuss, members
of the Guod Will Engino Company,and a menu
ber of the Hope Hush Compnny, whose name
we did not laarn, are missing, and the worst is
feared concerning them.
Bornard Timmins, also of the latter Company
is severely burnt.
