Petersturg letter dated Nov. Sth s great fire at Cronstadt is still the universal topic of conversation here. Cronstadt, asevery- body knows, is on an island at ihe very mouth of the river Neva. How, therefore, a tire in such a place con be allowed to spread so as to Gystroy the dweiling-places of trom 10,00) to 5.00 People puxzles many wise men here. The local paper, the Croustadt Boten, of to- Cay, gives the following details :—Nine squares or blocks of houses, incinding the Gustuni Dwor. or Bazaar, have been completely de- toyed. The mass of houses thus laid in ashes war inhabited by 15,000 people. The buildings consisted of 101 wooden and 18 stone hones, one church, two chapels, fifty shops in the Gos- tinni Dwor, and seventy-eight shops attached to the marine barracks. It will, perhaps, not appear so extraordinary that a’ considerable bart of Cronstadt has been destroyed by fire when it is remembered that it has not yet been sopplied with any civilized system of water- works. People who require water in Gronstadt have to fetch it from the river which washes its shores, and as such anoperation can harilly keep pace with the demand in case of @ cine fisgration, it isonly astonishing tuat the result has not been more disastrous.
