These buildings were of brick, stories high, and if placed ina continu- ous line would measure some nine hundred feet. The fire was first discovered in the room occupied by Messre.

Itepread with Le! tly on the ground, it, the t combustible nature of ineffectual. wings of Mr. Merri- field’s building was filled with old wooden buildings, occupied for the nye he lumber, &e., and they furnished ready fuel for the extension of the flames. From the east wing of Merrifield’s building the fire crossed Union street and communicated to three wooden building occupied in the base- ment b; ayer, Houghton & Co., and in the other stories by the cxicuane pistol tact of Allen & Thurber; thence the flames extended eastward to several other small buildings in the rear, owned and occupied by Allen & Thurber, and to the counting room and lumber yard of John Gates, whose large stock of lumber was consumed. From the west wing of Merrifield’s building the flames crossed Cypress atrect, and the two story wooden houses on the opposite side, occupied by some seven or eight Trish families, were entirely consumed with most of the furniture in them. The stable of the American House was several times on fire on the roof, but wag extinguished. The depot and several other build- ings adjacent were algo on fire on the roof, but they were extinguished without much damage. After completing the destruction of Merrifield’s building, the fire, progressing northward, crossed Exchange street, and burned the stable occupied by N. T. Bemis, the wheelwright shop of Aaron Samp- son (who saved most of his stock); the chapel occu- pied by the Zion’s (African) Church, the basement of which was occupied by Mr. Warner as a restaura- teur; the grist of Howard Holden, which was entirely consumed; Mr. White, coffee burner, occu- pied a part of this building, a portion of his stock was saved. A building occupied by Merrifield as a counting room and several machine shops was next swept away, and then the flames crossed Union street, and consumed John Gate’s ry store at the corner of Ex and Union streete—this building was burned, as was also the large farni- ture factory of Faber & Chollar, who had on hand a large stock of furniture—most of which was destroy- ed. On the opposite side of ay tein two large buildings were also burned. y. were oc cupied by Messrs, C. Whitcomb & Co., manu- facturers of machinists’ tools, whose stock was large and whose loss was heavy; and by Messra, Hovey & Lazell, straw-cutter manufacturers, who had a large stock of cutters on hand, and whose loas is very heavy. Merrifield’s saw mill and a pentity of valuable lumber was next burned. mill brook and the high bank of the Nashua Railroad prevented the farther pro; of the flames in this direction. On the to) the embankment was a large wood shed, which was torn down to prevent the spread of the flames. On the westerly side of Cypress, street the large building owned by Lewis Bigelow, ‘fad occupied as a ling alley, was partly d. Asi dwell- ing adjoining was pulled down, and the pro; of the flames stopped there. On the opposite side of Exchange street and west of Bemis’s stable (before mentioned) the dwelling house owned by widow Magoun was badly dai Some carpenters’ shops in the rear were also badly damaged. At this point the progress of the fire north was stayed. The fire was got under control about 4 o'clock. In the mean time two engines had arrived from Millbury, and one from Leicester, and rendered val- uable assistance. Later inthe day an engine com- pany arrived from Clinton. The out of town com- panies were liberally provided for by the city authorities.

This splendid engine is a loss. Great sympathy is felt for Mr. Merrifield, whose public spirit and real Yankee enterprise has done much towards building 2. the mechanical business of Worcester. He bore his loss with the coolness and brace teen of a philosopher. While the flames were at their height, him of Hea peopel; he turned to @ prominent citizen of Worcester, standing by him, and said, ‘Col.

The number of men thrown outof. emplo; it is estimated at from one thousand to two thousand. Probably fifteen hundred would not be far from the correct number. The citizens of Worcester turned out in good num- bers, and rendered efficient aid to the firemen. The sun was yory hot, and the firemen suffered intensely. Twenty or were badly heated, and had to be removed and for & time under the care of Pi Ee Excellency Gov. Washburn was on the eee when the firemen became exhausted k hold of the brakes and helped work the ma- chines like a true citizen. Several of the city cler- gymen rendered valuable aid. Rev. Messrs.

Great fears were at one time entertained that the flames would sweep up Exchange street to Maine street, but fortunately the wind changed, and the was averted. There were rumors during the afternoon that four or five men were killed, but at 11 o'clock last night, when our reporter left, no one was known to have been killed, and it was believed that no lives wont s mea ber of badly in- @ num! persons were vel 7 |.

M. ‘The bears still have things in Wall street tuoir own way. At the first board to-day there wai considerable activity in some of the leading faxcies; but the market was weak, and prices gave Way under the quantity of stock offering for sale, Money is rapidly becoming searcer. There was a very active demand at higher rates, but we do not notice many sales of cash stock. Most of the transactions were on time : New York Central Bonds oil of to-day 4 per gent; Brie Second Morigage Bonds, 3 » 6; Stonington, 1; ErieR. R., 3; Reading RR, %. Panama R. R. advanced + per cent. North Carolina Copper stock sold to-day to the extent of four thousand five hundred shares, from ene and a quarter down to one per cent. These purchases have, no doubt, been made in view of an improvement one of these days. Gold Hill and Gardiner Gold have been well sustained amidet the recent depreciation in mining stocks generally. Although this interest is at present much depressed, it must come up again, and many of the investments prove productive. There is not « very wide margin left for further depreciation in any of the fancies. There probably is more room for de- preciation in Erie Railroad than any other railroad stock on the list; but even in that stock the bears will get bit if they pursue it down much farther. Illinois Central Bonds, Reading and Harlem Railroads, Cumber- land Coal, Nicaragua Transit and Michigan Central Rail- roads are good purchases at current rates, and will pay well. They may go lower, and if they do, there will be, of course, @ greater margin for an improvement; but, at present prices there can be no mistake about any one ofthem, Apprehensions regarding the cholera have un- dovbtedly had mere or less influence in depressing the market value of stock securities, as it is too good card for the beats to have lost sight of Buyers of these stocks have now the benefit of all the influences which have lately been brought to bear upon them unfavora- bly, and they have, therefore, not only the advantage of those who have been holders for some time, but of the fact that nothing short of » regular break down panic can depress them much more. The depression in the value of most securities, amount- ing as it does almost to panic, is indicative of one of those strange fits of apprehension, the counterpart of speculative excitement, which at times seize upon the public mind, Fighteen months since there was no kind of rail bubble which was not eagerly taken up in the market. Almost any agent with a reasonable degree of impudence could find funds on a bundle of bonds secured by mortgages on property yet to be created with the money borrowed. Millions of money were drawn out of the United States treasury by leading brokers, and loaned upon sealed engravings, and every loose dollar in the country was sucked up by the insatiable railroad in- terest. The phantom of war dispelled that fever, and the public is now suffering from ‘chills’ equally as senseless as the previous excitement. Inasmuch as we then denounced the dangercus excitement, we now dis- approve the causeless apprehensions. Indeed, the pub- ie mind seems now again on the turn, and we shall not be surprised to be called upon in a few’ monthy to de- nounce a spirit more speculative than ever. back a little at prices:— Let us look Jam., 1853.

It may be said this fall is not greater than deserved. True, in many re- spects; but the depression has seized upon unexception- able securities. It is no doubt true that all stocks have run down like the ridiculous fancies, and that capitalists are hesitating perhaps too long for the turning point. Take, for instance, a stock to which we have before al- luded, the Illinois Central Railroad. That road, 670 miles, is nearly complete. All its iron, spikes, chairs, &c., have been received and paid for, and a good portion of the road istm running order, while the company have all the means they want for its entire completion. This has been done by the issue of $17,000,000 seven per cent bonds within two years. None of these bonds have been sold in the open market. None, except the issue.of Feb- ruary, 1854, have been sold under par, and they were taken by such men as buy to hold. The company have issued no other paper and contracted no other debt. The present position is, therefore, thus:— ety acres, landed value.. 14,000,000 capital subject to 67) miles railroad, cost ..., Total assets Total debt seven per cent boi Ofthe lands of the company, 2,000,000 acres were put into the hands of trustees pledged for the redemption of the bonds.

CucaGo, May 29, 1854. Persons desirous of the lands of this com- pany, inany of rebasing ite State, for purposes of cultiva- tion, are invited to advise the undersigned of the loca- tion and quantity they want, that the tracts may be in- cluded in the first list that will be offered. Such appli- cants will have a prior claim to the tracts , at the prices that my te fixed upon them. Per order of the V. P. JOHN C. DODGE, Sec. Within a week we learn that the applications for land were 60,000 acres, which, at the minimum of $8, gives $480,000, for which bonds must be purchased. Now, in- asmuch as that many bid for the bonds last year to an extent which it is ineonvenient to carry ina tight market, they have sold from time to time to meet the instal- menté, in some cases as low as 75. If the company eell- ing its bonds cam get any quantity at that price, it is equal to $10 for its land. The chances are, however, that but few bonds can be got under par. The last in- stalment will be due in July, and after that there will be few sellers ; the land sales of the company having com- menced in accordance with public opinion in Dlinois, the company must become buyers of bonds. We allude to these well known facts as indicative of the distrustful state of the public mind, which allows gold to sellat half price because some fancy bubbles have exploded.
