-It is oar painful duty to record one of the most ter
rible fires that ever devastated any city on this conti.
neet—a great portion of our busy and populous town
is'in rains. More houses have been destroyed by this
single and horrible conflagration, than have been con
sume 4 by all the fires that have ever occurred in the
City before,
Those acquainted with the plan of Pitukurgh will
ienlize the extent of the terrible calamity we have suf.
tared, when we state that nearly all that part of the
-city extending from Ferry st up the Mon. river to the
city line, and thence to the head of the snores su
burb called "Pipetown" [Kensington] has been des-
Tbeltre reached up Market street as far as
the south side of Third street, and up Wood diem as
fat as the south side of Diamond Ailey. The boun
&ries of the burnt district may , be thins described:
From Water street up Ferry to Third sweet (the 3d
Presbyterian Church was saved,) up Third to Wood;
up Wood to Diamond Alley, both sides; up Diamond
_Alley to Smithfield street, and thence down S mithfield
to Fourth street(lioth sides,) up Fourth st. to Ramat.,
and thence to the heal of Pipetown- = including, as we
have estimated above, about 20 squares, and compris

eoattiining goods of immense value—they were go-ice
goods, and Commission houses, and their spring

'The fire originated in a frame building over an ice
house, belonging to Wat DIEHL, near the corner of I
Second and Ferry sueets. The wind was blowing
stiffly from the northwest, though it frequently veered
to other points, and owing to its variations, the fire
extended up Wood street further than it otherwise
Could have done. It was first discovered about 12
o'clock, and was not materially checked till 5 in the
afteripon—even while we write, (at 9 o'clock P M) the
engines are playing vigorously in Wood 'meet.
We can give.no adequate idea of the distress which
prevades our stricken community. The progress of
the flames was so fearfully rapid that many persons
kit,' not time to remove their goods--others,again, had
got their property into the street, when the flames
seized it there, before it could be removed to a place
of safety. Others, still, would not believe the devour
