To add to the disastrous effects of the fite the burning rags and paper were vomi'ed forth from the windows an 1 carried on the wind in a south westerly din clion, where they fell in a tierv shower. The firemen were soon in service, but it was sreedi!v n,anifnst that all liie buildings west of the paper store ro Sixth street, and soath to Maiket street, must be involved in destruction. The State house, belonging to the Society of Friends, a carpenter shop and sevcrel small dwellings! were in flimesand burning furiously. The roofs of two large stores on the lower side of Market street, below Sixth, took lire, and the roof of twit buildings on the west, f .side of Market, were in flames at half past three .
