 3o2 BUILDINGS BURNED.

 Down Broadway to Market6eld street, on the east, every thing was destroyed, as we have already noticed. Here Broadway becomes Whitehall street, No. and were burnt-the latter only partially. No. 1 was occupied by J. L. Leiben as Family Grocery Store; No. a dwelling

 Directly in the rear of the burnt part of Broad- way and curving parallel to it, was New street, which only extended from Beaver to Exchange streets. This is entirely burnt, to Broadway on one side and Broad street on the other-so that New voir, or Gasometer of the Gas Company blew up shortly after the saltpetre explosion. The loss to the company is about $1 O,OOO. There will howev- CT be no suspension to the supply of Gas.

 Exchange street is burnt through from Broad way to Broad street and nearly to William street. occupied by heavy silk and other importing hou- Ses.

 Broad street was burnt from Marketfeld street (he next south of Beaver sreet to William Neil sons, No. 22, on the west side, and Wm. H. Fr ank lin's on the east-two whole blocks, excepting two large double stores on the northeast corner of Bea- yer, Nos s7 and so occupied by c. Muller and Co.,, John H. Brown & Brother. and F. Lawrence. The buildings were very valuable and had heavy stocks of goods. Meeks' Court large and popu- lous building, occupied by whole colony of com mission merchants was burnt. It was 34 Broad.

 Marketfield street was partially burnt from Whitehall street, on both sides through to Broad, where the street is discontinued. A very large brick house on the corner of M and Whitehall streets just fell as were passing, from which five or six persons saved their lives by about mas ny seconds. No. 35 Markeifeld street occupied by Mir. Bull, Scale Beam maker, was pretty much destroyed

 Stone street was burnt from No. 3 to Broad street and from No. G 10 Broad on the other side.

 Carm ans carpenter shop S3 Broad, was burnt, but its high walls are still standing-necessarily in very precarious condition.

 South William street is burnt on the northern curve to No. 8, next door to Delmonicos, which latter was saved by the most immense exertions.- Nos. 35 and 39 South William were partially burnt by the fire coming through from Broad.

 The iron shutters of the lofty stores opposite Nos. 8, 1O and 12 South William street was all thai sa- we'd the fire from spreading in that direction. The paint on them was corrugated and came off in scales, from the intensity of the heat ....

 On Beaver street the flames swept every thing pretty clean, from Broadway through to No. 45 on the North side, GAS being still standing but greatly damaged,) and to No. 46 on the south side- Here the efficacy ofiron roofs and fire proof shutters was gloriously tested. Nowhere in it's course did the confagration rage more fnriotsly than kere-the turning point-n the sad business ofthe day. The fine block of stores built by MT. Titus nobly with stood the encroachments of the foe and bafled it's most furious assaults As soon as the flames had burnt fairly up to these buildings, they made tre- mendous attack and then fell off at once-the wind ulled, and the dire contest was over, although de- structon and devastation still fingered in different parts of the field. ~

 As to the loss by this tremendous fire, or per- feet and complete list of the sufierers with the mount of insurance. Sc. we have done all that 12 hours of unremitted labor. beset with all those diff culties and mpossibilites in the way of procuring accurate infer nation which can be readily concev- is strictly to be relied on, except far the geo. graphical extent and general features of the calam- ity are concerned. These we have seen and accu- rately stated. ..

 The total will, we are pretty we'll satisfied range from $5 ,OOO,O0 to $lO,OO0,OOO. The Insurance Companies losers of the greater portion of this; and we are told by gentleman of great experience and knowledge that in his opinion heaviest con- panles have buried their capital in this days ashes.

 If we had language to express the admiration and respect which every citizen in New York feels this moment for tie Bremen. it would be quite unnec- essary. Their praises are in every mouth, and any particular mention of this or that company, where all did so nobly, would be invduous as we'll as su- perfuous Suffice it to say that never did any body of men in battle field show themselves more fear less of danger. more prompt. more skllful, more orderly, in the discharge of their duties. Wherev- CT tie fire ragged hottest, there the gallant fel lows, their red shirts and faces glowing as if in em
