across Water street and at least twenty buildings
are now on IRE. The wind blows freshly from
the North West and has extended to the lumber

George H Power. Fears are entertained Tor
Barnard, Curtis & Co.'S oil mandatory The
houses in Fleet street will all be consumed and
the wind is so high that cinders are blowing quite
into the city.


The fire was, no doubt, occasioned BY spark

The fire has spen, itself, having consumed
some twenty or thirty buildings, sweeping all the
buildings from the docks to Front-stFeet, except

The stores on the wharf were filled with Grain,
Hay, &c. &c. which are all consumed. Seneca
Butts has lost a large quantity OF Wool. 1t is
impossible even to estimate TIE loss, but we feel
certain it will not be less than 100000. This
has been sad day for Hudson. The Firemen
have behaved nobly. Yours, P. B. B.
u After several hot days, we have rather cool
weather again-consequent on very general rains.
