CHARAcTERIsrIcs OF THE NArToNs.-Neary one
third of Pittsburg was destroyed by fire last April
and now, only four months after, three fourths Of
the burnt district is covered with splendid new build
ings. Three hundred buildings were burnt down in
this city on the 18th Of last month, and now, two
weeks after, three thousand men are actively en-
poyed in clearing away the ruins, preparatory to re-
building, and fifty or sixty contracts are already
made tor new stores. On the 2sh OF May and 18th of
June, one halt OF Quebec was DESTROYED bv fire
and now, six weeks after, scarcely anything has
been done to erect new buildings in the place Of
those burned.
