Tho engino And hose companies exerted thcmsclvea aa if each man was laboring for the preservation of his own home and property, hut.it was too evident (hat the iseal. ol doflra Was laid upon that' beau tful structure. When day dawned the firo had not : reached the tall room, that gorgeous apartment unsurpassed in splendor by any;in (ho Union. Still the flames were raging through tho slecpingTooms above, and frota, ihcso ‘but little of tho costly furniture was saved except the bedding, which was hastily thrown from the .windows. Magnificent polished mahogany bedsteads, sofas and tables, riel) carpets, mantel glasses, curtains, Ace., all were left to glut tho devouring element. . Thp' persevering firemen dragged their'hoso up the winding iron staircase to the very lo|) of the ‘ rotunda, but nothing less than a descending cataract could have then checked the; advance of the flames. We stood in the ball room when the fire was entering through the doors nearest to Royal street. Men were in tho galleries hurling over chain and, stools while others .were hurrying with them down the stairs. Some were making vju* efforts to eaVe the magnificent chandeliers, but all they could do was to tearaway the glass ornaments. TwoofthcUnlocking glasses lay shivered on tho floor, the rest were probably saved. ' The. fire raged steadily on, and no one could have anticipated that a vestage of combustible matter about the building would bo saved from annihilation, yet owing to the indomitable spirit • of the firemen, a portion of the edifice has beep preserved. The dome of the rotunda fell between seven and eight o’clock, and tbo firemen noW drew up their hose with ropes from Chartres street to tho roof of tbo .building, by this method at last obtaining some command over ttiQ flames. - * 'Rut tbe St. Louts Hotel,the pride of Orleans and Lemisianp, the wonder tmd admiration of strangers, the most gorgeous edifice in the Union, is levelled with the earth. The Jnagnificcnt hall * where merchants congregated, tpesaloon where beauty gathered for the darfeo, the elegantly fur*, nisbed hotel, the bar-room, the brilliant room, the numerous offices and stores that were contained vftihin the vast walls of the building, all are swept away, and the construction that cost five years labor to raise has fallen in five hours devastation. The Improvement Bank at the corner 6f St. Louis and Chartres streets, was in that portion of the budding, which was preserved. Although great injury was dons to this part of the edifice by thf water, tho flames only ewept over the roof and upper story. The total amount of loss must bo immense. ‘ The bnilding cost $600,000, besides which the valuable furniture of the hotel, must have been worth a vast sum. There .were doubtless private losses; too, among the hoarders, who were hurried from their beds in great Confusiou. Two firemen belonging to No. 13, were injured, but nouterwusly. Two other persons received trifiidg hurts, but no lives were lost. $260,000 was all the insurance that existed on the building, but the young pinions of the Phoenix are already beginning to sprout, and the noble slructureiwill rise again as fast as enterprise Otn press forward to that end.

The public utility of Cowper was blighted in the bud,; through the natural effect of his nervous; debility upon the mental powers, which made it necessary for him to seek * relief beneath the rural shade, but the calm retreat gave his physical nature no repose.
