 From the Neso- York Daily Advertiser of Wednesday,

 Four Blocks of Buildings nearly destroyed -forty Horses burnt to death.-We have the painful duty to record one of the most desc lating conAagrations, with which our city has been afflicted. The fire commenced about 1 o'clock. last night. in fhs 4A~te"sive stables of Messrs. Kipp and Brown, at the corner of Hudson and Bank-sts., and before assistance could be rendered. upwards of forty horses perished in the flames. The block bounded by Hudson, Bank, Greenwich and Hammond Streets, was burnt to the ground in twenty minutes from its breaking out; it speedily communicated to the adjoining block, taking a westerly direction, which very soon after shared the same fate About this time the wind, which had been high during the day, now freshened into gale-the flames soon crossed to the westerly side of Hammond street, and shortly after the entire row front ing on Perry street, and extending all the way to Washington street, comprising altogether four squares was in a blaze.

 Language can scarcely describe the scene ] of confusion and consternati0n at this mo- l ment-hundreds of families who had remov- ed their furniture to places supposed by them to be secure, were now seen flying in every l direction before the fury of the al-absorbing l being removed, was destroyed by the fire.

 Through the dense cloud of smoke and cinders, children half naked were to be seen running to and fro. crying for their parents and parents in despair shrieking the names ol their children!

 The destruction of property during this ap- palng scene, must have been immense, and the extent of suffering and distress in conse- quence, incacuabe. The fire had not been arrested at the time our informant left bu, I from the abatement of the wind, together with full supply of water in constant play at the corner of Perry and Washington streets it was supposed its progress would be effectu- tually at"pped at that point.

 From the same paper, dated l o'clock, P. M. The details of the fire noticed in our paper 1 of this morning, cannot be made up in time ] It is one of the most destructive that has ia. ken place in many years. It is supposed tha, one hundred and fifty houses have been de. stroyed. Three whole and three parts oI blocks are level with the ground. As 1t took place in a crowded section ofthe city, great. ! CT number of families have been turned into the streets, burnt out and deprived of a home, than ever took place atany one fire in this city \ The N. Y. Commercial Advertiser Ot "Wednesday evening furnishes the following particulars ofthe amount of property destroy ed, and of the probable origin of the fire :-

 The loss of property has been hastily esti- mated at from tscO hundred to tuU hundred and fifty thOusand dollars it is feared that com- paIatively but small portion is insured. We learn that Kipp and Browns policy expired only yesterday, or the day before., The loss of these gentlemen will be very severe, For in addition to the number of horses, eight stages were burnt, three of which were new. ! The fire is generally believed to have been the
