DREADFUL FIRE S LOSS OF LIVES.

 One of the most desolat,ng ard destruc- tive fires that has eter afflicted our city. broke out this morning, little after two o'clock. Though there had been much rain all day,the vast quantity of combustibie materials which were in this part of tho city. being chiefly printing and publishing estab- llshments of different newspapers, paper warehouse and bookstores, caused the flames to spread with frightfuI rapidity.- The extreme height of the buildings also, the confined rooms and passages of the stores, the hour at which the fire broke out, and the general narrowness of the streets, all contributed 10 give more terrible cha ractor to this awful conflagration.
