Queene, Oct. 15.—At 4 o'clock yesterday morning &
fire began’ in the house of Tradel, grocer, on St.
Joseph street, near the Jacques Cartier market.
Owing to the early hour of the morning but few people)
were about. The wind, which blew a hall gale from)
the east all night, had slightly abated but sill eon-,
tinued with such violence us to cause serious appre-,
heusions that afterwards were unfortunately realized.
By tho time the fire brigade reached the seene,)
‘Yradel’s house was cnuveloped in flames, The sappers
were already there, bat there was some delay in laying
the hose and getting sullicient water, which was not)
remedied for nearly an hour,
rapid progress, No less than ton or twelve houses

were on fire, and lumber and wooden sheds on all sides)

ignited. By 54 o'clock eighty houses, all built of wood,
were in « blaze, aud the flames, driven by the wind,
were spreading in all directions, At 64 o'clock over
one hundred and fifty houses were consumed.

The fire by this time had run along St. Joseph and

Along St. Valier street towards the toll-gate, and

ereeping back and enveloping street after street in
spite of the almost superhuman endeavors of the
soldiers and the seamen of the Aurora, The contla-
gration ceased at about 5 o'clock, when there was
nothing more for it to feed upon.

A moderate computation places the number of
houses destroyed at 2500, and the loss of real property
at from ®9,500,000 to $3,000,000, The number of
persons frondered houseless is estimated at 18,000,

Hughes, of the Royal Artillery, was blown up and
badly though not dangerously burned. Lieutenant
Douglass, of the Aurora, was severely hurt by a
falling building. Several of the seamen received con-
tusions, but so far as is known no one was severely
injured. Lieut. Bean, of one of the regiments, had
his arm broken by a falling beam.

FURTHER PARTICULARS.
(From the Quebec Chronicle, Oct. 15.)

Since the memorable fires of 1845, no more awful
disaster, nor one More attended with a greater
destruction of property or more individual suifering.
has ever oceurred in Quebec, and it is melancholy to
contemplate the serious effects which it will have on
the proximate future of the city, more particularly ai
# period such asthe present, at the close of a business
season’ Almost unparalleled for its dullness, with trade
in a*state of nearly utter stagnation, and a hard
winter fast approaching. ‘In fact, itis doubtful whether
eithwr of the destractive fires of 1845 equal'ed the dis-
ast: conflagration of yesterday, either in extent or
ay sachets of individual misery entailed j but-it is
certain that on the present occasion a much larger
number of persons, sod Fees less able to bear the
loss, ‘have been rendered houseless, penniless, and
destitute, by one sweep of'the destructive clement. It
is cothmaned that by the calamitous occurrence over
three thousand «families, consisting mainly of the
faced classes, of our population, the hard working
aborers and artigans of Sj, Roeh's, St. Sauveur and
Boisseauville, and numbering, it is believed, about
eighteen thousind individuals, have been left without
a roof to shelter their heads, or provision of any sort
for their numerous wants. Owing to the confusion
and excitement incidental to all great conflagrations.
the rapid progress of the flames, ard the vast amiount
of property destroyed, it was almost impossible to
obtain any reliable data, but itis generally estimated
that te number of houses destroyed will fully reach
2,500 if not more, and that the total loss will amount
to almost $3,000,000 !-

great as Was supposed—not exceeding $70,000, on
which there is sn insurance of $51,000. All the
valuables of the cathedral were removed in time and
the walls have escaped without serious damage. An
expenditure of $25,000 or $30,000, above the insurance,
will refit it and adapt it again for further use. This
will no doubt be accomplished in five.or six months.

services.

HORRIBLE EXECUTION.

The shadow of the gallows blackens the civilization
of the century. Nothing is more shameful than the
moral of the old story of the sailor, who, wrecked on
what he feared to be a desolate isle, fell on his knees
upon beholding a gallows, and cried, “ Thank God}
Jack, we've inn Christian land.” With so much that
is holy in our creed, lheral in our modern spirit, and
jast in oor law, it is monstrous that we should stil}
build the gibbet by the side of the church,

Every execution of which we haye read is disgusting,
but few equal that of Allen P, Eggleston, at Newport,
Ky., on Friday Jast, This criminal shot Capt. Alimon
P: Menter, last June. while attempting to escape from
the house of the’ latté, which he had entered to rob.
Fifteen thousand peopls witnessed this execution,
which took place in the open ait, ** on a knoll which,”
says the report, ‘t seemed to have been designated by
natufe for just the dismal purpose it was about to
serve.” Only one bred in a jail could make green
fields and woods the accomplices of the barbarism of
man. Eggleston, pallid and weak, unabie to walk
without aid from the wounds his chains had inflicted,
but calm and resolute, was led upon the Beaffold. He
looked around at the vast crowd, ‘* with an expression
of weakness and resignation, a troubled look, a shade
of sorrow not untinged With disgust,” and then he fixed
his eyes on the bright sky, and the forest-clad_ hills.
The death-warrant was read, aud Eggleston, supported
