Before , however , thev were put into execution , their friends strongly advised them to absent themselves _uatil the storm blew over . Both
gentlemen having resolutely declined { akin ? thia coarse , Mr O _' _Malley ' a capture was effected . In the meantime tbeir diocesan interposed in bis behalf , and after being two hours in _custooy , the rev . gentleman was Bet at liberty , but upon what conditions is unknown beyond the precincts of the lower Castleyard .

_BSASCB _TJZ AKM 3 IN WATSRFORD . On Friday evening a search for arms waa made by Csptain Guon and a party of constabulary , on the premises of the Fever Hospital , ia Waterford . The resuit proved the correctness of the information which led to such a . place being examined , as the police discovered , in the yard , two rifl ? _a _, two pikes , and s sword . The medical officer of the establishment alleged he was ignorant of the existence of the weapons . He was at the time suffering himself from fever , which was greatly aggravated by the exoitement consequent npon the proceedings of the police , who ransacked his own room previously . In order to prevent the renewal of a proceeding , however necessary , attended with danger to the patient ' s life , the Her . Mr Ryan called on Captain Gunn , and entreated of him to desist from any further search . which was intended to be made . Captain Gain promised , on account of the state of the physician , not to pay another visit to the hospital .

The _Fbiiuan _' s JouBHAt of this morning gives an _acceant of a deputation whioh waited open his lordship yesterday for the purpose of laying before him a plan for converting poor-rate into capital .: . Mr _Best ' ey , of the county of Tipperary , % gentleman who some time since published a pamphlet , suggesting a plan , for the purpose sieve expressed , had an interview with Lord Clarendon , —the Premier being occupied with otber poWie _baiiae * . Mr _Bess ey presented a written abstract of his _c-lan
whioh tbe Lord-Lieutenant said he wonld read attentively . His Excellency did not hold oat any hope of a loan or advance being made for the purpose referred to . He said the state of the pernio revenue precluded that mode ef proceeding , aad commented in strong and indeed severe terms on the waste , plunder , jobbing , and misapplication of pnblio fond * recently in Ireland when advanced from the coffers of the state . Public liberality and private benevoencewere alike in most cases grossly abused or wholly perverted in their application . Landlords had applied for and obtained immense sums for the alleged purpose of _improvinethrir lands and affording employment , neither of which they did ; and thtm the intention of the _Lrgialsture was not carried into
effect nor the condition of the agricultural population in any degree improved . Then , with respect to boards of guardians , they had not in most eases administered the Poor Law with such' efficiency as wax desirable ; and under the . system which in many eases prevailed the moat flagitious abases bad _sprane np . Thus , for instance , within the last few days tbe government had ascertained that in one distriot there weresome hundreds more peruana chargeable for out-door relief than tbe whole numerical population of the distriot . Lord Clarendon ' s condemnation of the conduct of landlords who obtained money under the Land Improvement Act , aud then set their wretched tenantry to work in discharge of arrears of rent without giving them a farthing of what was _iatended for them , is described tons as having be _^ n emphaticand unreserved , as it was , in jusUoe and mercy to the poor , most deservedly called for . Neither was he at all sparing in his strictures on the
vile abuses whioh prevailed , and still prevail , in many districts connected with _these-called relief of distress . The deputation , having thanked hia Excellacoyfor the great courtesy and patient _attentios with which he had favoured them , then withdrew . A letter from Ballingarry , dated Monday , says : — 'All this neighbourhood continues quiet , and the only faot that reminds a _penon of the late rebellious p roceedings is the absence of nearly ail tbe male popu * Iab ' on in the district . Every person who bad anything whatever to do with these proceedings , on the reappearance of the polioe , fled ; the principal portion of the labouring class have , it is said , gone to England , where they expect employment at the haymaking and harvest . Several , it is true , have been arrested , bnt though the exertions of the focal magistrates hare been incesssot , not one eighth of tbe number charged have been mads amenable to justice .
ABBIVAL C ? CONVICTS AT XINOTOWS . Testerday morning , the _Bitkenbesd war stranifr arrived in Kingstown harbour from Cork with 170 convicts on board . The prisoners were guarded by a body of constabulary , and on the arrival of tbe steamer in the harbour , tha convicts were put ou board tbe Pestsngee Bomsngee transport ship , which lies at anoher off the east pier . The venal will sail in a few days for New Sonth Wales .

Early on Saturday morning , tho Channel fleet _, under ths command of Rear Admiral Sir Charles Napier , unexpectedly returned into Cork Barbour after a cruise of nearly a fortnight towards Cspe Clear .

Mr Francis Morgan , one of ihe law agents of tbe Corporation , but at present a fugitive from the hands of justice , fearing that his situation may be filled during his absence , has written a letter to that body in which he says : — ' In asking for a reasonable measure oi indulgence on the present occasion .

' ( From , the Daily Newt . ) CONFBDIBATB CLUB 3 . _Dobuh , September 6 th . — -It is stated , on good grounds , that the arrests of parties connected with late Dublin clubs will not be pursued any further , unless new circumstances should seem to demand it . There are , however , yet in _suspente several _soores of warrants .
JIOHB ABBIBH . A Mr _Keane has been arrested at _Monktewn , Cork , on suspicion of being one of those whose names appear in the _Hrjs asd Car . Mr Keane ( so he gives his name ) says he is from KilruBh . A _persan named Nolan , who had come over from New Orleans to visit Ireland , has been arrested in Tipperary . The camp at Tnrtalla , near Thanes , will be struck to day , and the 'flying column' will be broken up . Most probably this step is taken in order to enable the authorities to concentrate troops at Clonmel or Nenagh , if suoh a step should be desirable . There is now every reason to conclude that the special commission will open at Clonmel .
Outrages against life bave commenced in Tipperary—the initiative this time having been at the landlords' side . On the 30 th inst . Captain Scully , a relative of the M . P . for Tipperary , and brother , I believe , or anole _, of the Mr Scully irho was shot some years since near Ca ° he ! , together with Mr James Scully , his son , and a person named Carroll , a servan t , drove twenty-five bead oi cattle into a farm , the property of the late Mr E . Scully . The possession of this farm waB in dispute , and a caretaker , who held it for the other claimant , attempted to prevent the entrance of the cattle . He was fired a ' , wounded , and his life is despaired of . Informations have been taken _agaiostallthe above-named parties . It is said that , but for the presence of tbe polios , more lives would have been lost , Mr Scully , it » said , ' claims as administrator and reoeiver in succession to Mr E . Scully . J .

( Irvm « nr turn _Corretpmdtnt . J ' Dobuh , fith September . Who oould have believed it ! The waters of the _Liffey have really _reflected the features of Lord John Russell , —and the British Premier is , of a verity , a demsen . pro tern , of our _, _highly-favoured * and lucky oity of Dublin ! After aU , there ii something in store for ns I Providence blighted our potato field ? , and England has tent ns her Premier ! Who will now hare ! the impudence to prate , about tbe bad times or thb visitations wbich bring misery on onr people , and threaten final ruin to tbe entire country ? If Ireland ' s annals in this year of 1848 have a few axtrai Mack andblooiy _bhtohes , wont the record of Lord ; John's visit be that' green spot , ' which , to _ca *
the language of Curran— ' will bloom over the desert , ' and make her rough places level as a plate , and her orookei paths as _straight as a bulrush ? But no mora of tbia . That shabby _thokttn , Russell , is not worth a joke . , Oof last Friday , evening Lord John landed in Dublin . A considerable number of persons , principally of the middling and humbler _olaages , were awaiting his arrival at Kingstown' pier . There was no exoitement , no bustle ; bnt there waB considerable curiosity to catch a glimpse of one , whose name must bs for ever odious to Irishmen . His Lordahip was accompanied by his lady , and I believe , three children , one of whom he led by the hand , can versing gaily with it from the beach down to the
Railway Station . A slight murmur , of disapprobation was all tbe hostile _manvtettetion discernible , but as ior-the cheers of welcome they were ' nowhere . ' The greater part of the people followed his lordship aad suite down to the special train which was waiting to convey them into town . There was . more disposition to ridicule his mean appearance and unprepossessing features than either to applaud or insult him-In fact , the persons assembled seemed more surprised at the ridiculous style in wbiobhe approaohed our shores , than enraged at the presence of one whom they regard as their deadliest atd most _impraotisdbie enemy . I was at _Westland-row Railway terminus when the speoial train arrived _intown . A considerable crowd was olleoted here also , and his lordship ' s reception was pretty much akin to that which awaited him in Kiogatown . Here , however , thero being numbers of the kizzaroni of the oity , there was a consequent accumulation of ilbmanners _, and
the Dublin mob , always proverbial for their ready wit and powers of repartee , made poor Lord John tbe target of their badinage and vituperation . Not only was his bungling imbecility , as a statesman , brought to bear on his unfortunate head , but his cantemptible exterior , his very mean-looking , countenance—and even tho' plainness and simplicity of his dress . Lord John constituted a ' regular -windfall ' ( as themselves expressed it ) to tbe merciless ' _Jackeena' of Dublin ; and if anything oould expiate thaerimes of hit political career , the drubbing he got at _Westland-raw , last Friday , should ' cover a multitude of sins . ' On entering the private carriage from the Cattle , wbich awaited at the terminus , bis lordship was driven to Cork hill . No groan , no shout , no ourse was heard as he passed along , neither did one oheerfol smile greet his proerets—nobody saluted him k ' . ndly—nobody cried . 'God bless him . '
His iordthip aud suite remain at the Lord-Lieutenant ' s villa in _Piceaix Park . He takes an airing every day through town , in one of tbe vice-regal car * _risges . and is generally accompanied by some of the vice-regal family . No insult is offered him , bat his common place person and vulgar appearance make him the bntt ef ridicule in every street . On this nkht ( Tuesday ) , a large party is invited to meet him _at- ' the vice-regal lodge ; The elite of the oity and its neighbourhood are to bo there , and , of course ' _greatdoings ' are expected on the important occasion .
On Sunday , he attended divine service at the Castle chapel , and in another day or two , it is said , he will take leave of Dublin and its gaieties , to visit _Killarney , and other interesting scenes in the south of Ireland . Nobody can know the intentions or objects of Lord Juhn in coming to Ireland . If it was on matters connected with state business , it is hardly to be supposed he would bring his ' rib , * and & trio of the y _* ung _Russells—if it was merely a pleasure trip he meditated , he has ohesen a very singular era for hia fun-seeking peregrination * .
Bat the good things in store for as do not stop here . Lord Johi Russell ' s visit is net the only blessing we enjoy just sow . There is another , and still a better item in my note book . John O'Connell bas t aut' us , and Conciliation hall is shut up aa firmly as bars and padlocks can bind . it . The reign of _hooibug is terminated—the O'Connell dynasty is scattered to the winds , ' My son John ! , has _surren d _« red tbe _looptreof Burgh Quay ; tho _beggiag . b <« ii flung aside as uselest trumpery ; and the race of delusion , oheatery _. and ' moral force' fudge is over at last- The furniture , splendid library , and other movables of the ' hai deserted , ' are consigned to James Doffr , tho publisher , of Welliagtonquaj , who is to bring them , one of these days , to the hammer , to liquidate tho debt due to himBelf and others b ? the _detu & ot establishment- John _O'Consell has _aiven up all notion of ever again coming into publio life , and purposes residing henceforth iu London , to

seems very near ns . England certainly will soon be more actively employed tban at present . She oinnot well avoid it . Had Irishmen been prudent and courageous , and faithful , what a glorious time was coming ! Without the loss of a squib of gunpowder , or one drop of human blood , they oould have attained the redemption of their country . But we aro ever unfortunate . Nothing could do for us but ' war to the pike . ' Rebellion _instatiter ! separation frcm Eagland ! and an independent Irish Republio ! All tbeaeivrere maniac _nonemea _, and even if effeoted tomorrow would destroy instead of save the oountry . It is to with the ' physical force' Chartists of . England . See what ruin these men have entailed or themselves , whilst strengthening the enemy and
weakening the oause whioh they pretend to advocate . Their rashness—their _foolishness—tlreir illegal proceedings—have effeoted more mischief to _thomaelvea and their _mtereata , than all the coercion , and ' gagg ' _mii , ' and tyranny of the _Wbifs could bring about in a century . The accounts from' the south' represent that portion of Ireland in < a state of profound tranquillity . Tlie rising is crashed , not a single rebel abroad on Siievenamon ; not a pike glitters on the Ballingarry heights ; not a single _oarbioe rings in the glen of Abe-low . All is over . Tho camp at Tartnlla is scattered . A part of tho force , ( the ? 4 th and 60 th rifles ) marching back to Dublin , and the remainder ( the 85 th light infantry ) , going to Waterford . The
75 th enoamped at Pillown , are for Kilkenny , and several detachments from various regiments quartered ia the rural localities of tho south , are ordered to join head-quarters . The war in Ireland is over for tbe present , but the war with Ire ' and will never end _utitil the happiness and social amelioration of the Irish people are attained . ¦; Dublin is very stupid at present : Only for Lord J ohn Russell's arrival and the Italian Opera , the surface of the Dead Sea would not be duller tban our Irish metropolis . The old agitation is crippled , and wiih tho exoeptien of Lord William _Fitsgersld _' _n plan for a rotatory or _Anglo-Celtio parliament and court in this oity , there is nothing at all doing in the way of politics . Nor is this scheme
making that progress whioh might be expected a < oopg » tapeople so fond of novelty and experimental change as the Irish . The Duke of Leinster ( Lord William Fitzgerald ' s brother ) , condemns the plan in ioto . and many of those who were 'for it' a month age , are now 'getting out of it . ' The projec t , however , is not abandoned . The committee holds its sittings on eaoh Monday , and the leaders are talkim * ' of starting a daily and a weekly _newspaper to advocate the measure . Many of tbe . most Tory papers in Ireland applaud , whilst tbe great _majority of the 0 d Repeal brawlers keep silent on the business altogether . It is hard to form a correct opinion as to what may bB the issue ef this agitation . The Orange party , however , are not sleeping during
these days in Dublin . Now that the ' Green | is trampled in the dust , the Orange is getting aloft , and if the organisation now so rapidly extending be not crashed by government , we may soon expect a return of the _bld'dayaof ascendancy and 'No Popery . ' ¦ _Almoit every Protestant , in this city is getting into tbe Orange Confederacy , and several new lodges have within a fortnight been opened in _d'ffenmt quarters of town . The spirit of bigotry and division is raising itself quickly amongst us , aud . if it ba not kicked dowp again as' a vagabond , ' we shall ' have hot work hat ore long amongst tho people of Dublin . The Roman Catholics are not noticing this , but though the Pro * _testant party seem to think them prostrate , I beg to say the reverse is quite the fact . The Catholic party
we sot dismayed b / the discomfiture of' Young Ireland , ' and if the Orangemen should _provoks re * taliation , they w _, ill find themselves far from being able to cope with their opponents . Lord Gee ' _rAO Bentinok is eaid to be coming over here in the wake of tbe Premier—with what object it is difficult to tell . Now that the _greJt monopolist O'Connell is in Glasnevin , and the great bugaboo , Smith O'Brien , in Kilmainham , we may . expect periodioal visits from every state qaaok and impostor who can afford to ' steam it' over from Saxon land , to tbis unfortunate oountry . Lord _George is a Ut popular in Ireland ; but if he was really serious about coming amongst us , he bedeviled himself by his' busy-body-thankless' solicitude about John Mit ohel in parliament the other evening . His conduct ou that occasion was not only , ungenerous and
ungracious , but it was highly unnecessary and impertinent . It will not be forgotten , should hej intrude himself upon the people ef Ireland . : _.- _•» The weather during thelatt week was aa beautiful and propitious as we could desire . The harvest affairs look cheeringly _, and it is aaid that the short comings in any crop will not be so extensive as was first anticipated . I feair , however , tbat as , we are always disposed to be premature in our opinions , tbat the national hopes hare been too muoh influenced by the warm sunshine of the last ten days . Last night tbe air was gloomy and * u ! try ; there were incessant bursts of vivid _ligbtninp , and frequent peals of distant thunder . To-day about twelve o ' olock it began , to rain , and has continued pouring without intermission up to the present hour—half-past three . The sky looks lowering , and a heavy fall of rain la apparent ,

' At the meeting which took place at the South _Loadon Chartist Hall , in the morning , tbe _subjeat that has been under discussion for the last three week ' s was brought _forward—namely , the establishment of a sohoei , libraries , & c , for tha propagation of Chartist principles , as well as fer tho general improvement of . those already connected with the body .

Owing to _the-temarkable pauoity of attendance , little or no business was transacted , with tbe exception of a few penoe gathered on behalf of the' victims . ' This
meeting separated , like the other , peaceably , though -the police were in ambush in the event of their services being required . At Cartwright's coffee-house , the muster of Chartists and Confederates was of a somewhat more formidable character ; but had the _slightest attempt been made to disturb tbe peace of her Majesty ' s subjects , it would have been instantly repelled , as upon all former occasions , such were tbe arrangements of the authorities—Morning Post . _Faiainroxi DbATH bt a Yioiovs _Horbb—An inquest was hold on Saturday last by Mr Bedford , the Westminster Coroner , at St George ' s Hospital , on the body of Edward Weaver , aged fifty-one .

( Prom ibtNew York Weekly HeroM , August Id , The Albany papers are , filled with accounts of the disastrous eoFfljgratloB which took plaoe In that elty on the 17 th ult . We are Indebted to Captain Gotham , of tbe steam-boat Hendri _* Hudson , for Albany papers , de . _livered _. at an early hour oa Friday afternoon . The AlBAirr _E'FBM" gives the following account of the disaster : — We scarcely knew how to describe the fearful calamity that bas befalls * our doomed oity , Ic is beyond ade . _quate description—bevond at the time we write , lntelll . gtble detail . Soon after a fire was obeohed that broke oatln Qiack « nbu 8 _h-atriet , jast before noon , tbe alarm was again sounded , and are broke out in a small stable _adlelolog' the Albion House , between Broadway and the
Pier , en Herklmer . etreet , and occupied by J . 0 . Woite . Of lta origin we know nothing ; bul it bunt forth at a meat unlucky tnomaat . The fire department was weary , scattered , and disorganised , 8 omo of the machines were disabled , and in consequence of a shameful fight one of them—No . 9 , we believe—wan lodged in the City Ball yard , and unmanned , In the moment of danger . The heat was Intense , the mercury ranging at 91 In the shade , tbe city dry as tinder , la consequence of the dtought , and a gale of wind blowing from tbe south . _Ertrytbing conspired against ui ; and tbe destroying element immediately getting tbe upper band , raged _a-tfolly end unchecked fer hours , sweeping away fall sis handred buildings , many of them new , arid of great value , destroying about 2 , 000 , 000 of dollars worth of pro . perty , and _readering hundreds of families houseless and homeless !
Truly , this calamity is an awiul one—but God be praised that It Is no worse . At one time It seemed as If the destruction of our fair ci _< y was inevl'abie , The wind blew fiercely , the flames spread oh all sides , the devouring element _adraaced from block to block and from street to street ; buildings were taktog fire In several parts of the cltj—all was terror , confusion , and dismay j and tbe efforts ot man seemed utterly powerless . At this fearful moment the wind lulled , heavy clouds rose In the north _.-mt , and'a deluge of _rain—gratefol , needed , _God-sent rain—poured from the surcharged Oloudf , and obecked the progress ef the _confligratioa .
Amid tbe roar , darkness , lightning , and thunder of the storm glated the red flame * , and rolled tbe vast column * of smoke ; while _oceatloaally tho shock of a buudiog blown _ui > with gunpowder , added to the terror and sub _Hmlty of the indescribable scene . The fury and spread of the flames exceeded anything ever seen . The fire ran , leaped , flew , from building to building , with the speed of tbie hurricane that boro It on its course of deitruotlon . Aud As It advanced , and grew more and more threaten . Ing , the balls resounded the alarm , end the people looked on with terror and almost with despair . There were many narrow escapes from death , and some serious personal injuries sustained ; among the latter , William Johnson , and his wife arid _daughter , were badly burnt , while _etoapiag fton their dwelling , 5 s , _Llberty-stteet .

The fire crossed and burnt the H » mjltOE . « _tr-t » Bridge , and set on fire Don ' s Westers _Hetej , tbe first building oa the Pier . From tbis point , _evtrj building on the Pier , up to and _tcraii _Stste-strnt , and tbenoe to tbs out at the foot ef Maiden-lane , was destroyed , includlag the emigrant hotels , forwarding houses , groceries , steam-boat , canabboat , and freighting Una offises , and all the floating craft in Ihe Basis , including from fifty t _> slaty canal and lake beats , from fifteen to twenty large tow-boats , some sail vessels , and the steam-boat William Seymour . Bqrnlcg vessels floated against the _Columbla-str . et bridge and setit oa fire . Thence the fire waa communicated to ths Columbia-street market , wbich was burned , together with a number of dwellings in tha violnity . The exact bounds of the distriot burnt la this quarter we have not been able to obtain .
Vessels of all kinds on the outside of the pier floated out of barm ' s way _. The less of household gools ef all kinds Is immense , Great quantities tbat were strewed in the streets were rained by the rain . Cartv'Waggons , drays—everything on wheels—were In constant requisition , bat could not accomplish a tenth ' part ef the work _nqaired . Five , ten , aad twenty delists were offered for carrying a single load _. There was nothing like _organlsatiea of effort . The authorities , the fire department , aad the citizens were _scattered , Isolated , aud aoted too much without coaoert . Still ; much was done . Almost superhuman persona ) efforts were put forth , aad thousands of citizens worked with all thalr might .
Oar _firemss , under the ctrcumstauoee , did aU they eould . We received timely and Invaluable aid from Troy , Greenbusb _, and Soheneotady . Numbers of persons were rendered powerless by heat , _fatlgut , and cold nate ' r . Buildings , sheds , dio , took firs repeatedly as far north as Wilson and Lumber streets , Tbe whole oity was in danger . Hr J Smith ' s Pass Soil _Banim office , and James Daffy ' s job printing » moe , ' were barnt . At oae time the offices of the Atlas , _KtrtoEsaaooKca _, and _Exraass , as well _iiYis Beytbnsen ' e and Hunseu'a extensive printing establishments , were threatened wltb destruction . ¦ Thousands of _cltbent packed up their goods , _fernlturej £ c , and the stores were everywhere _closed . _Auumber of buildings were blown up under the direotion of the authorities . In the vicinity of Hudsonstreet .
It is Impossible at the time we write to get at any oorreot estimate of the lots sustained , or the condition of the _Insuranos _oompaaies . Oar Albany oompantes have auff . _red territly . Individual losses must be very great sod there will bt raaoh _dissresc and suffering . It will bs a long time before Albany will recover from this awful calanslty . ' Seventeen whole blocks , the pier , the Colombia-street market , two bridges , and near oae hundred boats are destroyed . Most of the boats were heavily laden . We r egret to learn tbat several Uvea have been tost _. Two men w < _jr « drowned ia the Basin , near tbe foot of _Maldea-iaae , Tbey were floating oa a raft , and in the midst of tha conflagration fell off aad tank . The owner of the steam-boat William Seymour , Benjamla Wake _, man , is missing . A man named _Hatdely , an Irishman , died frent over exertion . A man named _Johnsea and several others ara missing _.
Some eight or ten thousand barrels of flour were burst on the plar . The loss of property in the Basin wat immense . The loss is roughly estimated at two millions of dollars . We fear ear loaal insurance eom . panics are overwhelmed . The property on the pier was Insured abroad . Thi _Swlfisure and Eckf > rd Towboat lines lose tremendously . Hundreds of our business men are utterly ruined , Pour buildings were blown op wicb powder _..-, At midnight tho fire was burning In forty placet , but it is completely under _oontrol . There is no wind , aad the rain bas ceassd . The A boos says : — 'No estimate of the value of property is yet attainable ; We hear of two forwarding lines tbat _estimate preperty under their oharge to the amount of 90 , 009 dollars , all consumed , Aaother line suffers te an amount ef from 09 , 000 dollars to 80 , 000 dollars . The loss of floor afloat and in store is not less _thaulQ _8 Q 0 barrels .
The area of the fire comprises many acres , perhaps fifty or sisty , of the _raost compact and valuable part of the oity .

Ia viewing the sceae of _devastation , one Is struck with tbe power of the destroying element . How It was possible for such a mass of solid brick buildings to be swept away in a few brief hoars , and which will require the constant labour of hundreds of men tor years to replace , Is a matter of astonishment . Bat at the time the fire broke oat the wind was blowing a gale from the sooth , the buildings la which It took were of tbe most combustible material , and for elgbteen . _dayt no rain had fallen in the oity , and tbe _roefs were like tinder . The coals and cinders were wafted from block to block , and the moment they arrack the wooden roof ot a building it was ignited by tbe action of the wind . We were witness to several instances of this kind . On tbe northern part of the city , more than hall a mile from the immediate vicinity of tht firo , no less than foar buildings were ob fire at the tame time by that means . The moment a cinder lighted upon tberoef a blaas wat produced , at ii a match had been ignited , , ( From the Albany _Knicksrbohtr _. )
The fire originated in a very singular manner . Il appears tbat while a woman wat washing , a spark set fire to her san bonnet . Without a moment ' * thought she jerked It from her bead , and threw it , sbe knew not where ; unfortunately it alighted in the stable of Wm , Johnson , wblok in a moment almost was enveloped ia flames , A great portion of tbe goods , furniture , and property saved from the fire , was afterwards washed luto tbe river by the torrents that the raJo soared dews all ear more lengthy streets . The latest accounts estimate the value of property destroyed at three million dollars ,

MEBOUS LIVES LOST . _Conbtamtinopm , _Acocti 19 —On Wednesday last , towards seven o ' clock In the evening , a most lamentable fire broke out ia Temish Iskelessl ( dried fruit bazaar ) , situated between tbe two bridges . The iotensity ot the conflagration . _acq-iired such force , on account of tho surrounding _inflimmable matter , tbat in a abort quarter of an hoar it bad extended Itself in a fearful manner . In tbe immediate neighbourhood of tbe fruit bazaar was
the Ysgh Kapan , or ctl depot , the magazines and ware _, houses being wtll stocked with tbat kfiammable matter ; on the other side , towards the arsenal , was an Immense timber _yard , the greatest in the city , a quarter of a mils Inlengtb , one handred feet in height , and five huudred in breadth . By eight o'olock both tbese _plaies were in . vaded by tbe flames . When the whole line of sphere ou which the timber was piled wtt one blazing sheet of fUme , the appearance v ? _a < _s tbat of one burning mast of liquefied gold . What was still more grievous' wat , tbat a compact mass of shipping was moored opposite this spot , and the masting of several Turkish _vttitli , _ladea wltb oil , wheat , and timber , soon took fire , _andrradertd the scene en tht placid and tranquil water _ttlll more sublime tban on land . The sttill cries of the _xetpeotlv
commanders of the menaced _vesaels , the long , _contlnu . out , and tavaga howls of the mariners and sailors , in their _endeavoars to draw their crafts from the theatre of the ooiJagretton , all tended to impress the spectator with the grandeur of the dreadful calamity tbat had bt . fallen the city of Constantinople . Towards nine o ' clock tbe fire had tpread ont in an awful manner . In one dl . rectlon it wat travelling at a rapid rate towards tbe Gal . moumjllar , in another towards the Uzan Chertkl , whilst on the other it was raging at ths Odun _Kspoussf . Not . withstanding great iffortt were made to prerrat Its spreading towards the bill , which gradually rises until it reaches the crest , on whioh stands the Mosque ef SuUy _. maalh , and close te that the palaces ot several _vla _' . rs tht Sht'k _ul-Ielam Kappoutsl ( Porte of the _Ulemasl . and
otber extensive public and private _boildiegt , with their hanging gardens and _kioskt , it was all of no avail . Tat _houtet were destroyed , oae after the otber . The rlsmet rushed up the walls , and stoed like pyramids of fire ia the air . At length , at about eleven o ' oleok , the _pinnaole of one of the minarets of Snlevmanlth _^ en tht ex « trema height , and folly ona mile fiom tbe _tctnt of _dtttraetten , caught fire . A singular tpeotscle indeed It was , to see thlt airy meteor burning and blazing away whilst the flames in a vast body kept beating like waves against tbe angle of the _Shelk-ul . islam ' s palaoa , after having destroyed In rapid snccestltn , all the intervening buildings . At about midnight it had reached Bslak _Bjzsar , in the immediate neighbourhood of the new bridge , and great anxiety wat entertained respecting ths
Drag Bszsar , which is a splendid building , well known te tourists , wbo visit rhls city . In the opposite dlrec tion it had reached the Skemnrgelnr , and was proceed _, ing at a rapid rate towards the Oan Kapan , Tha efforts made by tbe _Tarkt to extinguish the fire were useless ; they everywhere ceased , and were mostly employed in palling down buildings . With the poor inhabitant * it was a general tauvt qui pent } indeed many were to _sur . ronnded by the flames at to be unable to escape , and were burned te death . Near Oan Eapan a dreadful des . traction of life occurred , and it It said that upwards of ! twenty persons have perished .
