Governor Ciagin yesterday ordered four hundred new tents to be sent to Chicago, & GOOD PROPOSITION, A genticman of well known gencrous impulses, whose heart goes out to the snfferers, suggests that the thirty thousand school chilaren of Boston eaci make a contribution, say twenty-ive or tity ccuts each. In tils way $5,000 or $10,009, 1b 1s thought, may be raised, and if sent by the scnooi children of Boston to those of Chicago it would be a beautiful offering. In thia connection tt may be addea that the teachers and pupils of the Wells school yester- day raised $200 for the laudable purpose. THE BOSTON THBATRE MANAGEMENT will give an enteriainment for the benefit of the Chicago sufferers on Saturday evening, which will be musical aud dramatic, and present many mnnsi- eal attractions. Seats be ready to-morrow morning. Further advices from Boston show the following additional subscriptions: — Atthe Fancuti Hall meeting, besides the sum ct 103,000 000 205,200 ven WALL STREET.

A few men lose, but there 4 just as much to eatand drink and wear, just a8 many houses and buildings, just as much stored up wealth of all kinds as pefore, But here in Chicago, three hundred mitiions of doilars’ worth of property—two hundred millions of it at least being employed as capital In producing fresh wealth, and only the remaiming hundred consisting of pictures and books and articles of luxury aod ornament that are not absolutely essential to the well-being of the peopix—have been licked out of existence forever and ever by a sea of fame The eect of that destraction is going to be a tefrific tightening of the money market for months and years to come.

France and Germany are both hard pressed, and England, though richer than ever, cannot supply the entire World with money, especially in her pre- sent critical and agitated condition, The waves of this Chicago fire are goingto be falt in every great money centre all over the etviilzed. world.”* “But we can pay higber interest—caa, afford to pay higher tuteresi than any onoelse.”” ADOUT USsURY. “Very Ikely. Six per cent in Europe is a very high rate, But interest now Is very considerably higher than it has been at previous periods. When Holland was at the zenitn of her finan- cial greatness the rate of the Bank of Am- sterdam for good paper was only two per cent, And three-quarters of a century ago, in Great Britaia, four per ceut on government or Srat class securities was very high. ‘The woold, Ju its present Ligh state of civilization, Reeds more capital, and must have it, than 1} ever did betore, All of whieb, is, perhaps, a litte outside of the fre at Chicago, but It shows Indirecay that we haven't secon the oud of the misciiie: doe by that tagh wind on Sunday night, and shan’t gee I for a tony, loi ume to come.
