By the arrival of the steamship Crescent City last night, from Chagres, the disastrous news from San Francisco is confirmed. We give full partien- | lars of the conflagration in our columns. Poseibly, the loss bas been exaggerated; but until we receive further accounts and more reliable intelli gence, the may be taken as an approximation only to the truth. The effect of euch @ lows, at this time, will be felt princi- pally in this city, although it may extend to Phi- ladelphin, Boston, Baltimore, and New Orleans. The greatest proportion of the loss, however, will be felt in New York. One of the local causes of the great revulsion of 1557 was attribute at the time of to the great fire which siness district of the city, and destroyed property to the amount of nearly twenty millions of dollars We fear the loves by the San Francisco fire will ruin here, and materialiy tend to affect ereial movements disastrously. estimate its fwept away a third part of the bu- oceu mee, @ great min present come phic Sammary. ¢ omarks on the dila gislature in bringing forward the of the Lre Canal, has hid It would of the I Lill for the enlar; our torine emont | ports. disposed to ecm adventure—P. 1 ings the steamer w don ber to ¢ th ing.
