THE_FIRE.

Agreeably to the promise made in the
Pilot of 23rd instant, we issue the above
Map of Montreal, engraved expressly for
the occasion, and by which the course and
extent of the terrible conflagration of the
8th instant will be distinctly seen. The
Map also indicates the locality of the fire
of 6th June last, in the West and Centre
Wards, whereby an immense amount of

E roper i.y |n goods, as well as in valuable
ouses and stores, was destroyed. These
two fires are marked No. 1 and No.
2. To the left of the great fire in St.
Lawrence Suborb, will be seen those of
1849 and 1850. Part of the area of these
fires has been twice consumed : if, there-
fore, the houses repeatedly burnt, were
added to the space on the Map shewing the
extent of the damage, the white would
cover a much larger portion than it now
does. A considerable block in Beaver Hall
is also marked as No. 4. The next and
last spot which the Map exhibits as des-
troyed, is to the extreme West, in Grif-
fintown, where repeated burnings have
occurred, duplicating in several instances
the losses of some of the residents. This
locality is marked No. 5. It may now be

have drawn a double line, which will give
a fair idea of their actual extent previous to
the last fire. There are some hundrediLi of
houses outside of the line to be sure, but
then the large vacant lots inside will far
more than compensate for them ; and the
stranger or distaui friend to whom this
Map will come, may rest with confidence
upon our estimate of the relative extert
of the last conflagration, or of tht. total
damage suffered within the period named.

As might be anticipated, the several
patches swept by the fire were in the most
densely populous districts, and the number
of persons turned out of doors was accord-
ingly very great. If we say that by these
several burnings some 20,000 were dis-
lodged, we will scarcely reach the maxi-
mum. One reason why so little difficulty
was experienced in obtaining house accom-
modation by the more thrifty class among
the sufferers, was, that Montreal having in
the past over-built itself, — an extraordi-
nary mania for building having at one
time infected the wealthier classes, — ^many
houses were standing unoccupied, into
which they were of course gladly received j
by the proprietors, in most instances at !
very moderate rents, considering the temp-
tation to speculate upon the exigencies of

observed, that all these fires have occurred' the times, but in some instances at an

since 1844, and it would not be very wide
of the truth to say 1849 — for in that year
the largest burning took place in QriiSin-
town, extending very nearly over the
whole space previously destroyed.

Upon a Map of this size it is impossible
to show the course of these fires with such
exactness as to designate the few houses
which may seem to have been preserved as
by miracle. There are some half score
dwellings embraced within the boundaries
of the last calamity which have escaped ;
but, on the other hand, there are as many
or more out of the line which have been
laid in ashes. The several conflagrations,
as marked on the Map, will fall within the
actual space nvsr-run by the fire.

To these trophies of the devouring ele-
ment, might be added some hundred or
more detached and scattered houses, also
burnt singly and in groups at various times
within the period embraced by the Map ;
but the simple statement of the fact wiil be
sufficient for our purpose, and it should be
borne in mind, when estimating the ra-
vages by fire in Montreal during the last
seven or eight years.

Our Map gives the extent of the City
from East to West, but a very large pro-

Ction of the ground enclosed within its
its is AS yet vacant. To show the
l)9uad«ri«i of tL» inhabited portions, wo

exorbitant price. In connexion with this,
we have heard of a wretch who owns severjj
small houses, but whose soul is so di-
minutive, — if, indeed, he be at all troubled
with so useless an appendage, — that when
applied to by some mechanics 'reft of
their little all, he demanded and obtained
a rate so entirely beyond the utmost pos-
sible value of the lodgings, and of course
so ou<, of proportion with the earnings of
the applicants, that but for the unavoid-
ableness of the alternative, his houses might
have continued empty, though much wanted.
There was no other choice than to sleep
out of doors, exposed to the heavy dews
and rains of the season, or temporarily to
submit to the exaction. We remember
having once heard a candidate for civic
honors addressing his constituents upon the
superlative meanness of his opponent, who
in illustrating his meaning, said Mr. Jorum's
soul was so tmdU, that "if it were put
inside a nut- shell, it would have as much
room to swim as a frog in the Pacific
Ocean." So say we of the man who, see-
ing his brother in distress, with a brood of
little ones and a suffering wife, exposed by
day to the dreadful rays of a vertical sun,
throwing out heat at the rate of 95 to 100
in the shade, or to the still more fatal dews
of night, would demand a price for a house,
or anything «lie iniiispeniably accoMftry,

which the I'^r-r -.< jstitute father could only
engage to p.iy by almo*^ Irremodiably
mortgaging the fruit of his future sweat
and toil ! Surely such men will have their
reward.

The morning after the fire we made It
our duty to visit as large a portion of the
burnt district as we could ; and, amid the
ruin and desolation of the awfid scene, one
beautiful feature of humanity invariably
met our eye, and spoke directly to our
heart : it was this — the poor, or, we should
perhaps say, the working people, whose
houses had been spared, were all busily
engaged in ministering to the necessities,
of their suffering fellows ; every standing
house appeared like a bee-hive — fidl. It
seemed to us that the spirit which actuated
the primitive Christians had full play here ;
they seemed to have all things in common.
Those that had goods, food and shelter,
freely gave to those that were destitute,
and all thought of self was for the time
put en oMi. But, notwithstanding this,
there was a fearful amoi.nt of suffering
which iio charity could ioimediately reach.
Some thousands of the houseless had passed
the night on the flclds, and were even
then grouped, each /unily around the
wreck of their household goods, sweltering
under the rays of an already bumi:>G: sun.
Here and there a temporary shed of
boards had been erected, under which the
mothers and their little ones sought to
hide from the too tntense heat. Hundreds
were crowded under the lee of a few bams
and fences, and jome had umbrellas ; but
by far the larger number were destitute
of shelter, wiji'e the thermometer was
rising 90, reaching during the day
to nciriy 100. We have heard that
duriiuis the night several children were
bom in the fields — a circumstance which is
not at all improbable, considering the large
number of families driven out before the
relentless scourge, whose notice to quit
admitted of no hesitating acquiescence.
This was the appearance of St. Lawrence
Suburb — the portion invaded during the
previous day.

In Quebec Suburb the scene was some-
what different — for there the fire was
still raging, and the inhabitants in full
retreat before the conquering foe. Here
and there might be seen persons utterly
prostrate, " tired nature " asserting the ne-
cessity of repose, even among the smoking
ruins and in the seething heat of an atmos-
phere, from which every particle of moisture
seemed to have evaporated. Of these
sleepers some were firemen, who, after
twenty-four hours of contention with an

lemons, had unc(

men, who, after

an the old French

lemons, had unconsciously given up the
battle :— poor fellows ! the wonder was,
that fiesh and blood could have si'jtained
the conflict so long.

The fire had commenced about 9 o'clock
on the morning of one day, and after reach-
ing the extreme limit of Quebec Suburb,
ceased its ravages on the second day at
about 11 o'clock, A.M.

The business of the city was all but
stayed that day. When it was ascertained
that the work of destruction was finished,
there was a pause, as if the violent throb-
bings of the previous twenty-five hours had
wearied the public heart, and it required
some time to collect its forces for healthy
aotitm. After a couple of hours, however,
the necessity of prcvidlng for the immediate
wants of the homeless and suffering was
appropriately felt and considered. A pri-
vate subscription had already commenced,
when the Corporation mi't and voted
£1000. This, with the aid ministered by
the efforts of private benevolence — already
adverted to — met the case, and afforded
leisure for the consideration of the next
great requirement — shelt^i-. The military
authorities here inter<^d, and a large
number of tents wer j p^bed in the fields.
Several largo tennrents^fremaining unoc-
eu^ed were thrown opetj^ and the Hon.
Jonn Young, Commissioner of Public
Works, caused the Sheds at Point St.
Charles to be prepared for the reception of
as many as chose to avail themselves of
them. By these means, before the second
ni^ht began, some refuge was provided for
the poor, and they were saved from expo-
sure to the heavy rains which followed.

The above may be regarded as a rapid
sketch of these two eventful days. It
would be invidious to select from among
the thousands who labored at the fire, and
after the fire, instances of peculiar useful-
naai, courage, skill, &c. Where all are
actuated by the same motives, all are equally
entitled to gr-xtitude. It ia therefore im-
possible to particularise.

The evil is done, its extent known, and
its remedy ia now the object of attention.
The Provincial Government will no doubt
take action in the matter. To meet press-
ing wants, the Executive have already
voted £2500; and subscriptions in the
city, at Quebec, Toronto, New York, Bos-
ton, and elsewhere, are being taken up
with commendable zeal and generosity.

The exteat of this fire, and the losses
consequent upon it, have been variously
estimated. After the most careful atten-
tion, we are of opinion that about twelve
hundred tenements of various classes have
b«en destroyed, Hud at leaat as many thou-

sands of persons dislodged. The loss in
money figures is not so great as one would
imagine from the extent of the conflagra-
tion, yet we believe i it any calculation
short of £500,000 is under the amount.
If to the loss of houses and furniture be
added the loss of time, and the expenses
consequent upon the re-establishment of
the population somewhere, we think the
city will have sufiered in a sum much in
excess of that we have named. But, when
it is remembered that this loss falls chiefly
upon the laboring classes, its magnitude is
frightful. The labor of a lifetime in thou-
sands of cases is nullified, and all the
little comforts which the patient industry
of the mothers had stored up for the chil-
ren, are lost — and so lost as not to be
easily replaced, even by the gift of money
to the actual value of the effects.

The domestic thrift and economy of our
Frtnrh Canadian women, is exhibited in
the knitted hose, the warm and often well-
patcbed garments of their husbands and
sons ; <md to them, against a coming severe
winter, clothing which would not in the
market bring a shilling in the poimd of its
original cost, is of full par value. We
deeply sympathise with our suffering,
tlough humble, fellow-citizens ; and trust
that the rich, who have so mercifully es-
caped, will show their appreciation of the
immunity by a liberality proportioned to
the occasion — " To do good, and to com-
municate, forget not," &c. We are well
satisfied, however, that Montreal will be
true to its past character for Christian
philanthropy ; and, believing this, we for-
bear any preachment on the subject.

Our Map shows, that, within the last
six or seven years, nearly one-half of the
City has been laid in ashes ! The circum-
stance is, therefore, worthy of brief com-
ment, at least. After all these great fires
some one has been ready to blame the
Water Committee, the Fire DepartmeiU,
^c. 4"c. Now, it is our honest opbion
that, whatever fault there may have been,
the real defect is not there. The trouble
is to be sought elsewhere. We ought not
to calculate upon having to extinguish
conflagrations extending over acres or
miles : " An ounce of prevention is better
than a pound of cure," is an adage most
apposite in this case. Wc require to
preeent, not to put out, fires ; and to this the
attention of our citizens, and that of their
representatives in the Council, is urgently
called. It may be said tliat we can only
provide against the recurrence of extensive
fires in the porUon of the City now in
ruins. We may certainly do it there moit.

effectually, and I have no doubt that
stringent regulations will be adopted
with reference to tho rebuilding of St.
Lawrence and Quebec Suburbs. But it is
not quite correct to decide at once against
our ability to protect the other parts of tho
City yet standing, and chiefly built in
wood. We have some three or four thou-
sand wooden buildings yet, threatening
some other awful conflagration ; and the
match of the devil-driven incendiary may
one of these nights complete the work of
ruin. Is it, then, absolutely impossible to
render wooden houses so far uninflamma-
ble, as to prevent their immediate ignition
from external contact? At present, a
spark falling on the shingled roof will de-
cide the fate of a house, and perhaps that
of the City. Now, it strikes us, that
various preparations, calculated to prevent
immediate combustion, are offered, pa-
tented, guaranteed, &c. ; and that the
application of them to the exterior of our
wooden houses, would go a long way to-
wards preventing tho spread of fire. We
have often observed — and did especially
remark it at the last fire — that wooden
buildings, well covered with a strong
solution of lime, will resist the flames
for a long time. We have seen a
house burning furiously inside, while
the external lining seemed almost in-
capable of ignition, for the reason as-
signed. If lime be so great a protection
agaiL^t fire, is not our Corporation com-
petent to decree a law by which the pro-
prietors of such dwellings will be com-
pelled to keep them so thoroughly cov-
ered with it, as to make them comparatively
secure ?

But if there are other washes more
effectual than lime, as we believe there are,
the duty to inquire into the ra!\tter be-
comes so much the more important ; and
vre therefore beg earnestly to press the
subject upon our City Fathers, before we
are called upon to mourn in sack-cloth
over the smouldering remains of St. An-
toine Suburb and the other sections of
Montreal yet offering themselves as a tempt-
ing prey to the devouring flame !

O^her protective ideas are before the
public, in which we heartily concur — such,
for instance, as the erection of tanks at
various points, &c. ; but our remarks hav-
ing already reached a most unconscionable
length, we must take leave of the subject
for the present.
