The structure on New Market street, below

steam paw and planing mill, and William Bartb,
manufacturer ot blind... 1Mb, and moulding,
was entirely destroyed by Are thin morning.
It , insisted of a io story brick building on
Kew Market street, with two one story frame

first floor, tbe cellar, and tbe front portion or
tbe second floor, the prlilpal and rear part
being usf d by Mr. Barth.
The Arc broke out about midway" on the
second floor in the room of Mr. Bartb, and la
supposed to have originated from a deQoient
pipe. Once started, the flames rread rapidly
among tti iuSS"--" material which, wa.
jying all around, and it was with some difficulty
tbat tome of the workmen made tbelr exit.
The ore then communicated to the first floor,
which, In en exceedingly ehort time, was con
sumed. Mr. Alexander was eneased In maou
fsdnrtng torch handles', of which he had about
10 000 on hand. He also had a laree stock- of
tea boxes, in an nnOnisbed as well as finished
condition. He owned the buildlugs, which he
values at $5000.
He estimates his ls on stock, machinery,
and buildings at $12,000. on which there is but
n Insurance or $1000, which Is in the Hoyal.
Mr. Barth had In the course of completion a
larpe quantity of materials which, together with
tools, were destroyed. His loss be says will be
between $5000 and $0000, on which ha has but
trifling insurance.
a- parated from tbe mill by a wide alley was a
ranse ol occupied dwellings, fronting on Callow
hill ' street; but these, through the untiring
exertions of the firemen, wte saved from total
destruction, lhe loss sustained to their rer
part will be covered by insurance in the Fire
Association.
Several stores on Second street, which ex
tended vtry near the burnin building, were
niore or less dainaued by the fire an! water.
Those that mflered the most were Creagmilp'
cm pet warerooms, No. 347 N. Second street, and
Churl e UilbertA Co., stove warehouse, No 349.
Ilie'r losses, however, are covered by iusurance.
A number of the dwellings on the opposite sloe
of Newniarket street were bl'ghtly damaged by
tbe 1n-em e beat prevailing at the time.
Sauuil 8. Emory, a member of the Lafayette
llo.-e Company, while running through tbe
alley on the north side of the building, received
a sevt re cut in the neck by a falling brick.
Charles Earnest, a meaiber of the same com

DISASTER.
Terrible Conflagration nt Callno, S. A.
The N. Y. Tribune's Callao correspondent,
writing under date of August lath, says:
From the dawn of 18C8 Callao has been the
scene of tremendous calamities. The revolution
of January reddened her streets with the blood
ot her sous, aud in the following month the
yellow fever broke out with terriole malignity,
leaving many a family in tbe depth of misery
and want. Scarce was she freed trom the dread
epidemic which cut otf in the midst ot useful
ness many of ber best citizens, when another
and more terrible calamity befel ber. Wh'.le
the people ot tbe city were yet in the greatest
consternation consequent upon the earthquake
and inundation, a ere broke out. which com
pleted the chapter of our calamities. It is im
possible to enter into a description of the misery
and destitution which preva l, of the panic
wmcn uas seizea me stouten nearis, or Dusl
nes paraljzed, and of families entirely ruined.
On tbe night of August 14, at t4 o'clock, while
the population was menaced on one side by a
repetition ot earthquakes, and on the other by
inundation, and was hurrying to and fro, some
to Lima and Ballavlsta, and others to other
points of comparative safety, tbe alarm ot fire
was given. In company with a few others I was
on the mole taking observations of the rise aud
fall of the sea (which, let me here remark, still
continues agitated, rising and falling jo every
halt hour, sometimes to seven feet, and others
to three and four, above its usual level) when I
discovered flames issuing from the back part of
the Hotel de Conflanza, in Commercial street.
This hotel had been partially destroyed the
night before by the inuadation, and was nearly
deserted. Immediately alter tbe alarm was
given quite a number of persons congre
gated end a few of them went to work. The
Ircnt doors were forced, aud the removal
of the furniture, etc.. proceeded with. At this
eiaee of the proceedings the military arrived,
and by their ignorance caused the ruin of
halt tbe town, and placed the ether in Jeopardy.
The tire, as I said, occurred in the bac part ot
the building, and bad there been the simplest
mauaeeroeut, the disasters which occurred,
would have been entirely prevented. The. peo
ple were removing the furniture, bedding, aud,
in fact, all articles tbat make np the slock ot a
hotel, to tbe Plaza or square, near by, when the
officer in ebarge ordered the things to be brought
back and piled up in front of the burning buid
lug. A number of persons remonstrated at this,
and said that as soon as tbe fire reached the
front part of the building, the flames and falling
timbers would set the lurtilture in tbe streets ou
tire, and thereby flie the buildings on the other
side. To this very sensible argument no atten
tion was paid, but an order was given to drive
back tbe people. Again and again attempts
were made to remove the articles, which now
lormed an Immense pile, but In vain; the mili
tary would not even allow a solitary trunk to be
carried away by Us owner. Tbe conse
quences were just as was expected; iu less
than half an hour the flames had complete con
trol ot the building, aud the balcon esia a fev
moments fell ioto tbe streets, set fire to the rub
bish beneath, which soon communicated the
flames to a liquor store on the other side. At
this time Colonel Balta, the President, accom
panied by his Ministers and a force of cavalry
and infantry, arrived, and immediate orders,
when too late, were eiven to remove tbe collec
tion of all kinds ot articles in the street. Tbe
only reason given for tbe action of the military
1b, i but it was to prevent robberies; but a great
many other measures for this purpose could
have been adopted. The conduct of the military
is strongly condemned. The flames now greatly
increased, and threatened, at one time, the
entire destruction ot the principal, part ol tha
city, and bad it not been for tbe prompt arrival
of the French and Italian Fire Cooipauies from
Lima, and the assistance from tbe thtps-of-war,
tbe consequence woull have been still
more disastrous. Rapidly tbe flames extended,
and were not subdued until nearly sixty build
ings were destroyed. To make confusion worse
confounded, tbere was no water to be bad, in
consequeuce of a quarrel between the owner of
the water i.Mr. Gallagher) and the Corporation,
and belore communication could be had with
that eentleman we were almost without this
necessary element. At 3 A. M. the tire was got
undpr control, out a 6trong nreeze setting in
from tbe south at about 4 A. M. carried the
flames to many other bouses. It 1b to be re
marked that all the English fire-proof safes of
Miluer-proved to be ot uo use: every oouk and
paper of any kind was reduced to cinders, and
tbe gold and silver melted. I saw iwo opened,
aid can testify to this as beinn correct. The
origin of the fire cannot be accounted for, but it
is supposed to bave been purely accidental.

tbat of. a globe, haviuz an apparent diameter of
about 43 min. and a tail of 9 deg. in an ellip ical
curve, extending into space with au inclination
ot about 30 degrees. Tbe tail was of an oval
form and vert divergent towards tha Dart a wav

the nucleus, the tail following its track. Both
the tail and tbe nucleus were as brilliant as
electrical light, and emitted some luminous drops
