A great number of houses have been blown up, but has no effect in :stay ing the progress of the flames. • - The Court - House, Western - Union 'Telegraph Office, hotels, banks, and apparently everything within half a mile west of the Ctsurt House, and as far' north as Polk street, and prob ably west of State street,fand per= h'aps east of _that nearly -all is de stroyed. The fire is now , on the north-east side of Willis streets extending up to Chicago avenue in a north-easterly direction. It being checked to the windward on the south and west sides. The wind is , blowing hard and seems to be changing - towards the south. We think it reaches towards the Great Central Depot, and that is probably lestroyed. - The L.. S. ik S, and R.I. Railroad depots, City . Water Works, Treinont House, Sher man House and Ciesby Opera House, &c., are already being destroyed.

NEW YORK, Oct.lo.—A Chicago dispatch says: "It is now , certain the -loss of life has been very heavy. A ,whole wagon load of dead bodies was carried through Wabash• Avenge last evening, but T. could not learn' any ing as to the precise rammer of their I death. It is said by some to have been the result of an explosion of ,spirits; by others to have been caus ed by #n HT* walls. • Measures have been adopted to preserve-a discrip tion of their , bodies. - Thus far the city has been spared any violent dis order or robberies. Panic and dread - are übiversal. Even the roughs and thieves are awed by to terrible ca lamity. All the citizen's are complete ly exhausted. Should the-rem:m(ler .f the city be threatened little could be done to avert it" - THE an ON THE NORTH BIDE .#OP TEE ltryEll 'DESTROYED Ciacaoo, Oct. 10—Noon.—The fire eontined to burn all last night on the north side, but this .morning is un der control. It is literally true that there is nothing remaining of that aide from the river south to Lincoln Piqk on the north, and from the nath branch of-the river on the west to the lake on the east. This , portion of the city, cicept along the main ' river, where there were businetis blocks was occupied by dwollirtgi. Two-thirds of the population of this district were Ger mans and Scandinavians. These people -, are now homeless, come of them in frame buildings on the north western section and others on the prairies without shelter. THE TIRE OR THE WEST EIDE. Throughout the day yesterday a renewal of the wall of o fire on the west side was looked for,and a change of five degrees in the direction of the wind would have led to this result. There would then have' T bfien no re fuge for any. Everybody had their clothing packed ready to start for the praries at any moment; but God averted this last possible addition to our disaster. R4.n AT LAST, alt sundoWn the wind lulled, and at three o'clock this morning the rain so fervently prayed came. It did not rain long, but the roofs of the houses and the ground have been wet; so that now it is possible to have fires and cook food for the multitude.

DETAILED ACCOU:i7 OF TITF. 1111 E Cruckoo, Oct. 10.---We give a re port of the fire and its incidents al ready prepared fbr the Associated Press by those who - witnessed and fought the flames throughout. Late on Sunday evening a boy went into a stable on Dekonen street, near the river, on the west side, to milk a cow, carrying with him a ker osene lamp. This was kicked' over by the ,cow and the burning fluid scattered among the strain. This was the begining of. the great fire. ' A single extinguisher on the ground or active work on the part of the po lice in tearing down one or two slum ties,would have prevented the spread fng of the flames; but _the engines were wafted Air; r sod w'they lie rived, the fireuien, stupefied, th& exertions at thei Aire on Sido'4y night, worked 404 and away,. mid their tarts wercoximemiling. The wind from the notitimesit blew' a gale. rifsipiclk the danm from hones 'to house aud board yerd to bog!'

Then the fall extent of the danger .Was realized for .the first time. The Fire . Department, already tired out, worked like heroes, and the Mayor and city government began to exert themselves, but the right opportunity had now been lost. The time when a thorough organ ization would have blown up the buildings or prepared for an emer geneywas neglected, and it was now a fight for life The wind blowing a stiff gale, had; possession of the . flames, a'nd the beautiful buildings of Chicago's glory lay before them. ,Harrison, Van Baron, Adams, Monroe and Maddisah streets, were soon -reached, and the blocks from the river to Dearborn street on the east, being , consumed. Three-quar ters of a mile of brick blocks were -consumed as if by magic. It bekid Sunday the „proprietors , and emp loyes were at home, utterly s ea tuaconktons of what what was trans- rein pirino Those 'who saw the flames elm supposed it was the remains of Sat- Jot urday night's fire, having confidence an, in the Fire Department were neon- ,S; corned; but between 11 and 12 o'clock a rumor got abroad that the fire was in the business` portion of the city : • Then, tie people cominenc , ed moving. Horses were brought in to requisition..th take the proprietors and others- to' the conflagration. What a scene met their gaze! The Board of trade, Court House, West ernynion Telegraph and Associated Press office; and hundreds of other buildings siere-aIP-aflatee. The air was filled with live coals, which wore hurled to the north and east. The fire engines were powerless, for all the saving that men could do was in blowing up builditigs; but this avail : ed little. The Times, Tribune, Post, Republi can, Journal, and other newspaper offices; the Western News Company; Block, Field & Leistex's establish ment; the Drake block, recently built, Farwell d, Co.'s—all were soon in ashes. 'lt seemed that no sooner had the flames struck a wall than they went directly - through, and a very few minutes sufficed to. destroy the most elaborately `. - Amilt structures. IWalls melted, and the very brick' were consumed. The wooden pa °- Intents took fire, 'rattling a con ous sheet of flame two miles long by -- a mile wide,_and no human being could possiby survive many minutes. Block after block fell; and the red hot coals abet higher and higher, and spread farther and farther until the north side of Lake street was a vast sheet of flame from the river to the lake, and 'at one time so hemmed the people that it was expected that thousands must perish. The Sher man, Tremont, and other hotels Were emptied of their guests, and a re markable 'Sight presented itself in the harrying throngs, with trunks, sacks. or bags on their shoulders, fleeing amid the flames for-their lives. Those who could made for the re maining bridges, others got next to the lakikshore, and so to the south. One block in-all the vast business section remained at daylight, viz., the Tribune - - block. The . Mom House and (he Honore block on Dearborn street had burned, and those who had fought - the _flames here thought at least this block could be saved. A patrol of men un der Samuel Medill, swept off the live coals and put out the flames inside the wane, and another company of men, under the direction of Hon. Jo: seph Medill, watched the rocig4. At half-past seven o'clock this appeared safe, and most of the men went to get rest or food. A number went to sleep in the Tribune building; but there was soon a change of mind. The flames reach &A Wabash and State streets and Michigan avenue, and won l'iliVick er's Theatre caught fire. In a few moments the. Tribune bailaing, was in flames, and at the laSt moment the sleeping men were aroused and - res cued. By 10 o'clock „the forenoon this remaining block WO., in ashes. Now waste - he seen a most terrible sight: There were from fifty to sev enty-five thouSalid men, women and children fleeing by every available street and alley, to the southward and westward attempting to save their clothing and their lives. Every available vehicle was brought into requisition for use, for which enormous priees were paid, and the streets and side walks presented a remarkable, eight. , Thousands of persons and horses were inextricably commingled. - Poor people of col ors.and shades and of every nation ality; mad with excitement, struggled with each other to get away. Hun dreds were trampled under foot. Men and women were loaded with bundles and their household goods, to whose skirts were clinging small children, half-dressed and bare-foot ed, and seeking a place of. safety. Hours .afterwards- these might have been seen s in vacant lots or on the streets 'far out in suburbs, stretched in the __dust, There were hundreds distracted and many made desperate by' the.whiskey and beer which they had drank in the absence of water, 1 1 in great quantities, who spread them selves in every direction, a terror to all they met. It is fearful to think of the loss of life. It is -conjectured, with good cause, that nearly five handful* have been banaed to death. We sat four men enter a burning building, and in a moment they were overwhelmed , by,a tilling wall. There was a crowd of men around a corner of a building trying to 'I save property, when the wall yielding, somgbof them were buried beneath it. !About twelve or fifteen men, women and children rushed into. the building of the His torical Society, a fire proof building, for safety. In a few minutes the flames burst up, and they were burn ed to death. - Among) those who took refuge in this building was the venerable Col onel Samuel Stone, eighty, years 'of .age, for a long time connected With the Society, also, - John' B. Gerard and wife, and Mme. Depeigr, one, the noted teacher of music. It is feared that Dr. Frean and family were also buried, as they were in the building and have not been seen since. Mrs. .Edsall,whose husband was murdered last week, and who was suffering from an illness, was carriedlway for protection to a building, which was afterwards consumed, and it is fear ed that she also perished.

MESSAGE. rum' C,1101.75E OF /31811011. 1 A message was received from the H ' use of Bishops, transmitting the ui h r -: f (3wi e n C g o r m ep m o iee o report ttlon uniformity .Fives ifo rinity of ßishops rit- appointed by the House of Bishops, al the General 'Convention of 1868, to consider whether any additional provision of uniformity, by canon or otherwise, is practicable and 43Mr. out, and to report that the next Gen eral Convention, having held 'sundry meetings at 'several differentplaces, at each of which all the members of the 'committee were present through the entire session, and having, as they believe,. ,given to the subject matter entrusted to them that care ful consideration which its importance Merits, respectfully ask leave to re port:. The resolution under which the committee was appointed raises several questions for evAmination and a sorer: Is any legislation touching te performance of divine service n d the administration of the sacra. ment and other rites and ceremonies of the Church practicable; and if practicable; is it at this time expedi-, eat; and if practicable and expefflent, , shall it take the shape of a - canon or. canons; or, shall it be otherwise pro= vided for; and, finally, what shall the actual details of legislation be? Assuredly these are questions that touch the Church and its ministers and members in many very vital points, and involve many delicate a well as precious relations: In con sidering these questions, the Commit tee have endeavored never to forget that substantial uniformity is entire ly compatible with very considerable individual liberty, that non-essentials should never be unduly =Signified, and far , less raised to an !equality with essentials; that many 1 trolble- some and objectionable, things are ephemeral in their nature, and "per ish in the using," , and thit, under any circumstances, hasty legislation is ever to be avoided; nor have they , omitted to keep in mind , the wise words of the Thirty-fonith Article of Religion. i iircomxuDATimis OF Tnz cbstxtrrn ON ILITIIAL.IUNIFONNITT.. . , • The committee report the folloWZ ink as the matters, upon which they respectfully recommend legielatiOn: They recommend that certain acts in the / ad ministration of the Holy ,Communion, *nd on other occasions of pad° - worship • hereinafter enumerated, besprohihited by canon, to-wit : First.
