SAN FRANCISCO MAIL.

. » THE NEWFOUNDLAND MRES. An extensive and .disastrous fire broke oqtSn St. John's, Newfoundland, on July 8, in •house on Long, street, and.was only got under control the following evening. In its course it rendered 15*000 people homeless, and wiped out • number of streets. The Government House was not burned, A strong gale from the west prevailed at the time, and this drove the flames very rapidly across the town, sweeping everything before them. The fire stopped at Walter street west, at Browninp s. From this point west, • nee thickly studded with dwellings, there remained only a torest of chimneys. The insurance on the buildings destroyed and on stock will amount to 4,000,0Q0d015,, which sum will cover about naif the loss. One man and six children perished. Among the prominent buildings now in ashes are the Masonic Temple, Orange Hall, Roman Catholic Cathedral and Bishop's Palace, St. Patrick's Hall. Eng lish Cathedral, Athenteum, the Kirk, new Methodist College, Commercial Bank, Union Bank, Atlantic Hotel, and Lines berg's brewery. The Executive Com mittee assigned the drill shed, parade rink, Browning's bakery and Clouston's factory as retreats,, where the burned-out people procured food and shdter, and eheds were also erected in the park. Insurance agents held a* meeting on July 12, »nd the report* showed that the losses coveted by insurance* placed in fit John's agencies amount to 4,250,000 dollars ; the estimated total losses about 15,000,000 dollar*. General Ross was ordered irom London to send a company - of Royal Engineers from Halifax to St John's, Newfoundland, to. blow down walls found either dangerous or difficult to remove by ordinary means. The number of families burnt out is 1874, making 9000 homeless people. - Several persons have died since the St. John's fire in consequence of fright and exposure, and several have been sent to the Lunatic Asylum, their minds having become unbalanced owing to their losses, A place called Cat's Cove, seven miles from Brighs, Newfoundland, was burned on July 9. Twenty-six houses caught from a wood set on fire by ashes on the railway. . The fires in the forest awept with terrible speed and effect along the country, and villages in the path of the flames could not be saved, the condition of affairs wes thus made terrible. No where was there anything like order. Passing vessels anchored on the coast and sent their crews on shore to assist the people, who were .so thoroughly de moralised and'exhausted that they oould not help themselves ; and thernen of St. Johns', who had abandoned their own homes to the flames, were called upon to assist their fellow Wanders in the sur rounding villages. 7 , . ,
